The awakening of Yuuki.

The end of the day light was coming to an end as the sun set, the creatures of the night were coming out and the fan girls were getting ready to see their dream man before nightfall. The guardians would usually prepare themselves for another typical afternoon. Zero would reload his gun just in case something comes up with the vampires. And Yuuki… well she was no were to be found. Zero was becoming more worried about Yuuki these days. She was barely showing up for class and it's rare for her to be sick. "I will go and check up on her later, but for now let me deal with those idiots", Zero thought to himself as head towards the gates were he would act as bodyguard for those vampires.

In the meanwhile, Yuuki was heading towards her bedroom. As she dragged herself across the darkness of the night, her body began to shake. Each second that went by her body was becoming more paralyzed, but when she managed to get her body into her bedroom, the darkness that was emitting from the room pulled her, towards her bed. "What is wrong with me these days, my body feels sluggish and recently I have been seeing blood everywhere I turn to. I know when I wake up Kaname and Zero will be questioning me" she said as drifted into sleep which she might not awaken from.

In the night class

"What is the matter Kaname, you haven't been your usual self these days, is there something bothering you?" asked Takuma with great concern on his face. "Nothing is bothering me Takuma, I have been thinking that is all" said Kaname as he turned to face the night class who have been greatly concern about him, as they usually do. As the night class made their way to their dorms, Kaname felt a powerful power from the girls' dorm for a spilt second. "This power I keep feeling, who does it belong to, could it be Yuuki is ready to awaken and if she is, she wouldn't have that much power. So who does this power belong to, it's very intoxicating!" Kaname thought to himself as he headed towards his chambers.

In Yuuki's Bedroom

The atmosphere of the room was becoming heavier, like something powerful wanted to escape from the room. Yuuki kept shaking her head as if she was having a nightmare when suddenly the windows began to crack and you could sense the ground beginning to shake as if an earthquake was about happen. Yuuki kept struggling in her sleep when her vision became filled with pitch black. "Where am I and why everything so dark?" she thought to herself when she suddenly saw this girl running away from the darkness into a bright land. She tried grapping the girl to ask questions but when she tried grapping her into went right through her, as if she was ghost. "What is this, why can't I touch her, and why does she look like me?" she thought. Puzzled by what she has just experienced, she decided to get answers. The way to her answers was to follow that girl to see where she would take her...

When she caught up with the girl, she tried grapping her one more time but this time Yuuki merged within the girl. Then she realised that this was the young Yuuki from the 10 years ago. As the young Yuuki sat in between her mother and father reading her favourite her book. "Recently mother and father have been sad, I wonder why" she thought to herself as she gave her parents a quick glance. Then Haruka caught Yuuki staring at him, he was hesitant about Yuuki as he knew something was not right "Yuuki what is the matter, you have been staring at me for some time now" asked Haruka. To his surprise Yuuki gave him one those expressions that instantly told him that something was not right. "Nothing is the matter father, I was just thinking why kaname isn't back yet" replied Yuuki in soft tone that was full of worry. "Yuuki you sure think about your brother, could it be that you love him more than us. That makes me very upset Yuuki" teased Juuri as she picked up Yuuki, placing her on her lap. "Not at all mother, I like everybody equally, I am just worried that Kaname might be hurt" said Yuuki in her innocent tone, that would drive any vampire within 1 mile radius crazy. "Why do you think Kaname might be hurt Yuuki" asked Haruka who is starting to become more concerned about Yuuki, there was something about Yuuki that he couldn't describe, it was like she hypnotising him with this blinding light that is full of hope, faith, trust and companionship. The essential elements that pureblood needs to live for eternity. "That is because recently Kaname looked like he was in great despair." said Yuuki without even thinking about what she said. This shocked Juuri and Haruka to the extent that Haruka discussed something with Juuri using their reading mind powers. "Yuuki I like how considerate you're towards other people, I am sure that Kaname will be back soon" said Haruka as he gave her a warm and comforting smile to suggest that everything they decided for her was the best. However he does regret having her locked up in this basement. She was trapped like a bird. "Speaking of Kaname he is here, Yuuki do you want to welcome him?" asked Juuri as she interrupted Haruka's thoughts.

"Welcome home, Kaname" said Yuuki with great excitement to see her beloved brother. "Good to be back Yuuki" replied Kaname as he picked up Yuuki to give her a hug. "I love the fact that Yuuki is here to welcome me home, I want to protect her from this world which is tainted with blood. I want to keep her to myself" he selfishly thought to himself as he sat next Yuuki. Recently Yuuki hasn't been speaking much. The Karan's noticed something was wrong with Yuuki, since last week she has been talking about how she was going to save them for this man in her dreams. Although she didn't give them a good description to work with, they all knew who it was. "Yuuki what is the matter?" asked Kaname as he became concerned, as Yuuki's eyes started to fade away. The typical Yuuki would have replied but not this time as she was having a conversation with her new friend. "So who are you" asked Yuuki as she sat in this green grass looking at this tall figure who knelt before her. "your highness, I am here to fulfil what your heart desires the most and that's to protect your family from that man in your dreams" he explained his purpose with her. "How do you know that" asked Yuuki with great confusion. " that is because I am part of your power, you might not know this but your highness, you're the most powerful creature I have ever met, not only that but your kindness is what will draw people to you in the future" he humbly explained to her. "Is that so" said Yuuki in her sarcastic tone. "How about you answer your brother who is worrying about you whilst I take care of sealing away your parent as you have commanded me to do" he said as he clicked his finger to release their little conversation making it appear as if Yuuki has been daydreaming. "Yuuki what is the matter" asked Kaname. "Nothing is the matter Kaname" replied Yuuki giving Kaname a warm smile to apologising for spacing out on him. The funny thing was that she doesn't recall what she was daydreaming about. "Yuuki do you want energy" asked Haruka as he could see that her energy level has dropped significantly during the last 30 minutes. "No I am fine father, thank you for concerned I am just bit tired that's all" she replied instantly trying not worry him. "Okay Yuuki, why don't you and Kaname take a bath and go to bed" asked Haruka as he looked towards Kaname to see if he will agree. Kaname then just nodded towards Haruka as he led Yuuki to the bathroom. Once they had their bath Kaname put Yuuki in her bed, but no before she suddenly grabbed his arm tightly not wanting to let go of him. "What is the matter Yuuki" he asked, to see her grab him so suddenly was quite surprising, which reinforced the fact that something was wrong. "onii-san I am scared of going to bed" she said. "Don't worry, Yuuki I am here to protect you from your nightmares" he replied reassuring her. "Thank you onii-san, I love you" she said as gave him one of those smile that would make people's leg wobble. Before Kaname got the chance to reply she fell as sleep in his arms. As she slept peacefully, her sleep was deepening by the minute. Until she was woken up for her slumber by a pair of strong-cold hands. "Your highness wake up" the voice said. As she opened her eyes she started to remember that she just had a flashback about her past. Once her eyes were fully open she saw this man hovering over her. "Who are you" she asked as she rubbed her eyes, wakening up into a world for the first time since she last slept.
