A/N: sorry for the inconvenience. This isn't an update. I was simply trying to put the edited version but accidentally ended up posting a chapter from another story. So please kindly ignore this update. Thank you.

Chapter 1

Kuran Yuuki tightened her already firm grip on the man whom she had en-caged within her arms. Although the person in her arms was no stranger yet she was not sure what would be the best way to address him. In one hand he is her bother come fiancé who loved and protected her with everything all along. On the other hand she recently learned about other side that he also happened to be the progenitor of her family line who was awakened when her real brother was used as sacrifice by Kuran Rido. Not only that, this ancestor hid many truths from her. She led her to even call him a liar afterwards but then she forgave and wanted to move forwards with this very man.

However… there was half her heart, which deep down still resided at Cross Academy longing for the certain silver headed hunter. Who now despises her for whom she is… a pureblood vampire!

All of a sudden everything seemed so disoriented that Kuran princess found herself getting lost into depth of dark cave. But deep down Yuki knew as long as Kaname is by her side she will not lose herself. He will not let that happen.

"Yuki..." came his deep velvet like sultry voice that worked just like magic and in moment washed away all her confusion. Her heart and mind finally made the decision. It was time she him as an equal and from here onward start their relationship once again. This time free of all lies and no more of hiding the truth, all they would give the other is utmost honesty. Just like how a couple who restarts their life after a very rough period of time.

But little did Kuran Yuuki know that even at this point Kaname was hiding the truth from her. She was being deceived once again.

"It's time…" the words left her fiancé's lips in a voice that suggested her not to worry.

Yuuki looked up at him, slightly confused while a strange kind of suspicion arose deep inside. However she decided to ask him frankly. After all this was what they decided upon. No more lies, no more hiding the truth.

"Are you going out somewhere?"

"Yes…I'm leaving…" the words did not sit well. What did he mean by that? He is leaving? For where? And most importantly Why? Though Kaname kept somewhat of a smile on his face to distract her but the sadness that shined on his eyes told a different story. And Yuuki was not ready to accept that. Her determined heart forced itself to believe something else. They just had their start it cannot end now.

But then why has her gut been feeling that the curtains are ready to drop?

"Kaname!" she requested him. "Please…don't go out today." She was not sure if her request worked because no change showed upon the expression he wore on the face. But who said Kuran Yuuki was ready to give up? If words were not enough she decided to add action alongside. She wrapped both her arms around his neck and gently pulled him towards her. She closed the gap between them as much as possible. He too returned the affection by cupping her face between both her palms.

The aura of love radiating off his form!

"Kaname please, read me a story just like the old times when we were children. Stay by my side snuggling together. Drink the only blood you like." She threw all the option available at him in hope that at least one would work. One of them has to. In action she then trailed down one of her hand over his chest before bringing it close to his mouth. She wanted him to get the aroma of the blood that streaming under her skin. And it worked like magic! Automatically his mouth parted and gently took a finger in...but did not bite only gave it a gentle nibble.

"After all, it seems you've been strongly craving my blood lately…" she let out her thoughts aloud in order to give him a reason to stay behind. She believed it might make him see things the way she was seeing it.

Yuuki knew her attempts appeared to be desperate but she could care less. All because of the uneasy feeling that has built up inside her the moment he declared he was going out. Her inner conscious constantly told her stop him. Something bad would surely happen if reaches the designated place.

"If you behave like a good girl and wait for me, I will do what you ask." He ran a hand through her hair. His words and actions assuring her that he would be back into her arms before the night ends...still something did not feel right because it does not answer one important question why did he give her back the artemis rod earlier? Something was surely out of place.

"Yuuki I only have one request, watch over the house while I'm away." His words confirmed her that decision has already been made. He will go, there is nothing stopping him.

"Kaname…" she uttered his name in a voice that suggested she is not yet defeated.

He cupped the side of her face. "Thank you Yuuki for understanding me," Yuuki felt the brush of cold air when his hand that was cupping her face pulled back suddenly. He even took a step back. His body language indicating that it was time for his departure. It confused Yuuki more because in her eyes it appeared as though he was bidding her farewell.

It was only then his words confirmed her suspicion.

"There were things I was thinking of doing about which I had already made a decision. However once the time came some kind of hesitation was born within me. Then with time little by little this uncertainty became stronger…" Yuki noticed in time when his body started to disintegrate into little black bats.

"Kaname onii-sama please doesn't hesitate!" she almost shouted.

"I no longer do." Those were his last words before his body fully exploded into bats that flew out the main entrance.

Yuki screamed her lungs out asking for him to wait and come back but he never did. If only he would have listened to her at that time then, fate of many would have been different including their own. But as the saying goes fate has different plans for all and that was the exact case for Kuran Yuuki and Kuran Kaname.

…

By the time Kuran Kaname reached the old Hanadagi estate, the pureblood lord of that house was already awakened from his slumber by Shirabuki Sara. She who fled from the scene only minutes before his arrival. Kaname was not surprised. Sara was smart enough to make the right move on the right time. However, Aidou Nagamachi remained behind as the prey to the now predator Hanadagi.

From the look of the scene the Kuran pureblood knew what was about to happen. Hanadagi has used his left over power and asked the senior Aidou to offer his blood and life-force to him. And he did that without a single thought of repercussion. Proving how savage, ruthless and what kind of cruelty a pureblood is capable of possessing. It was exactly what that woman believed. Only now Kaname could relate to why she held so much weakness towards the human and hatred towards her own kind.

Kaname stepped in. He gently tapped the noble vampire on the shoulder and motioned him to move aside. Then without wasting a moment plunged the sword through the other pureblood's chest. In this weakened state with his heart taken away the head of the Hanadagi family died instantly and exploded into crystals right on the spot.

Aidou Nagamachi watched with his mouth parted as the last remains of the Hanadagi pureblood showered upon the Kuran pureblood who stood in straight posture with his back facing him. Quickly he got on his knees and expressed his gratitude for saving his life only to get hit by the realization the next moment that the man before him just murdered another pureblood.

"Kaname-sama…you just murdered Hanadagi-sama. You saved me at the cost of a pureblood's life." Those words left his mouth in horror and disbelief. He turned his gaze down, his senses overtaken by fear upon realizing what he just witnessed…murder of a pureblood by the hands of another.

"Aidou-dono…" the man in question felt the pureblood turn towards him.

"Tell me something, who actually decided that one must not violate the sanctity of the purebloods?"

Aidou Namagamichi dared to raise his gaze only to see the Kuran pureblood get down on one knee before him. Though he could really not understand what the brunette pureblood was thinking however the strange madness that reflected in those wine color orbs told the older noble about the web he just got himself trapped into.

"Kaname-sama it's frightening when you say such things." He closed his eyes and took a deep breath hoping the pureblood would show some form of understanding. "Try and understand from our perspective, it is really impossible to control vampire society without the purebloods."

Kaname only chuckled at his words. "You make vampire's sound like bees that can't do anything without their queen. Could you really be so foolish such theory?"

From the corner of his eyes Senior Aidou watched as Kuran Kamame grabbed the sword. The weapon was designed to kill vampire, it had its effect on him too. Electric lightening encircled his hand almost burning the flesh there, a sign that the weapon was rejecting him too.

"Kaname-sama please release your hold on such cursed weapon, you yourself might not be safe with it…" But the pureblood's face showed no sign of pain. He just tightened his hold on the weapon and stood tall on his feet towering over the noble.

"Aidou-dono, I will tell you something right now…"

Kaname knew there was no need for further word. The man kneeling before him already braced himself for the awaiting outcome. His nervous gaze and sweaty forehead showed his current emotion. The pureblood raised his sword higher and Aidou Nagamachi clenched his eyes tight.

"KANAME!"

Yuuki's surprised scream sliced through the silence. She and Hanabusa already arrived and right before their very eyes Kuran Kaname ran the sword through senior Aidou, beheading him.

Both of the younger vampires shocked gasps were the only source of sound other than the noise of Nagamachi's body turning into looked at him, a combination of disbelief and betrayal shined through those large warm brown orbs. Kaname looked her in the eyes and declared his decision out loud.

"I'm done hesitating. I made my choice once to stay with you. However, I made the decision to fulfill my original plan…I am sorry and thank you Yuuki."

With those words said he disappeared leaving behind no trace of him ever being there. All that remained were the dusty remains of Aidou Nagamachi and last remains of the head of the Hanadagi family in crystal form.

…

Souen Ruka and Kain Akatsuki were already waiting for the pureblood by the back entrance of the manor. Upon sight of Kuran Kaname the Souen girl rushed to him and took hold of his bleeding hand that still held onto the anti-vampire sword.

"Please let go off that weapon. Allow me to hold it Kaname-sama."

"No please by all means allow me to hold the cursed weapon Kaname-sama." Akatsuki offered as well right after Ruka did. Kaname's eyes moved from Ruka to Akasuki who continued to watch the female with such worried eyes. The pureblood understood the fiery haired male only offered to save Ruka from the pain.

"Do not worry Ruka." Kaname assured her. "…besides I'm still not done."

"Where are we heading next?" Akatsuki asked.

"I'm going to go pay a visit to Hanadagi's children."

…

Just as Kuran Kaname pulled the sword out the blonde pureblood whom he stabbed on the heart shattered into small shreds of crystals. He looked down to have one last look at the remains of the three Hanadagi sons who were at this point nothing but broken pieces of crystals.

Three down and the fourth one was nearby. Kaname followed the scent of the other pureblood. It led him to take the stairs, go upstairs. He was sure that he was on the right path because with every step the scent of the fourth brother got stronger. Upon reaching his destination Kaname only had to give the door a gentle push for it to open wide. What a surprise the door was unlocked. A vampire that is not familiar with the concept of privacy seemed interesting. He sneaked in.

The person inside was so preoccupied on his phone conversation that he failed to notice his presence even when he was standing just behind. Heck! He even failed notice the fact that all his brothers are now dead. What kind of bland vampiric senses this boy had Kaname wondered.

He waited couple more minutes. He wanted to give this young vampire a fair share to fight for his life. But that did not seem to work. Not even for a second was his attention diverted. Kaname was amazed. He figured whoever was on the other side of the phone must be very important to this boy or he was just too foolish for a pureblood. With that thought he came to the conclusion, this boy's time has come to an end…

Therefore without further ado Kuran Kaname ran his sword and beheaded the young pureblood.

The poor child didn't even get the chance to scream! The receiver of the telephone and the young pureblood's head flew in two different directions. Kaname caught the telephone receiver and unknowingly placed it before his ear all the while watching as the young pureblood's head hit the floor and rolled towards a certain direction.

As the person on the other side spoke he understood it was a female, a very young female probably the same age as the boy he just killed.

"Takero nii-chan I tried to write this poem thinking about you last night. It may not rhyme but you cannot laugh. If you laugh like last time I will stop writing poems for you and that is a promise…"

The boy's name was Takero! Then who might this girl be? His attention then switched from the girl on the phone to the body of his victim that now lay on the ground few feet away from the separated head.

"Ahem…here we go,"

Cracks started to appear on the dead pureblood's body and soon the youngest son of Hanadagi exploded into tiny shreds of crystals like his older brothers.

"…When I say I love you, please believe its true.
When I say forever, know I'll never leave you.
When I say goodbye, promise me you won't cry.
Because the day I'll be saying that will be the day I die."

Kaname's grip on the receiver tightened.

"How was it nii-chan?"

The girl was expecting a feedback, some sort of praise but little did she know that the one who was supposed to provide her with such was no more.

"Onii-chan?"

Kaname found his eyes moving towards the wall that was decorated in all pictures. It was only then when it all became clear as water to him. There were about twenty frames hanging on that wall. His wine eyes first landed on the picture of a girl wearing a flower crown playing with a butterfly. In that picture she appeared the same age when Yuuki was turned into a human. She had straight platinum blonde hair with long bangs and very deep blue eyes and ivory skin. The next frame had the picture of the same girl hugging a boy who looked almost a carbon copy of her except he had the deepest green eyes. Kaname figured the boy was his last victim and the girl… his twin sister? Strange! How was that even possible? Because purebloods just like the hunters were not able to conceive twins, which was why they were able to pass that curse onto the hunters. But judging by the picture both appeared quite healthy?

"Have you forgotten how to speak Takero? Or have you spaced out like usual?"

The brunette just hung up the telephone receiver to pay more attention on the pictures hanging on the wall. His eyes then landed on the biggest fame that had all five of the siblings together and the twins here appeared a bit matured, about ten-eleven in human years. If his calculation is correct this photograph must have been clicked recently. Kaname took a closer look. Something was amiss. The five siblings were similar yet there was a difference between the older trio brothers and the twins. The older trio had more of a tan complexion, dirty to copper like blonde hair and light blue eyes whereas the twins had platinum hair with very fair like complexion and deep blue-green eyes. Something along it made no sense.

The day head of the Kuran family left the Hanadagi estate with a puzzled mind. However he would have to send Seiran to do more of the digging on these siblings.

…

Few days later:

"What news have you brought me Seiran?" The pureblood inquired.

He was lying down atop the black velvety couch with his hand draped over his face covering his eyes from the daylight that was penetrating through the gaps of the thick curtain.

The female informed him about Yuki's decision to re-establish the night class, and that Hanabusa was still watching after her despite the betrayal. Then the rest she told her master were about the interactions the Kuran princess has been having with the silverette hunter back at the academy.

"What about Sara?" Kaname asked still unmoving from his position.

"She took refuge at the hunter's association." Meaning she's in Cross Academy! And that information was enough to get the head of the Kuran family's interest. He not only uncovered his eyes but also focused them on the female standing before him demanding more on the matter.

"Also…Takuma Ichijo has been seen by her side." Kaname did not like what he just heard.

Seiran carefully watched for her master's reaction but the pureblood did not did not give any kind of noticeable response, he acted like he was least bothered by this turn out of event. But for someone like Seiran whose eyes always followed him, was able to detect the tension on his tensed shoulders.

The stood up walked towards the window. With an absolute blank expression he watched the scenery displayed outside. It was day time yet there was no sun in the sky. Instead the world was being showed by snowflakes. It was a gloomy day, an exact replica of his current state of mind. He touched the window pan and the glass melted under his angered touch. Kaname knew he should not let his emotions slips but the fact that Takuma was now pledged to Sara it bothered him.

The grey haired female silently stood behind her master while he processed his system to cool down. She actually had more news in store for him but refrained herself from opening her mouth till further permission.

It was not until a while later that Kaname realized that Seiran was still there. His mind became so worried with the various ugly thoughts that for few moments he totally forgot his own surrounding.

"Are there more Seiran?" he asked for the news that she was awaiting to tell.

His eyes closed down with the deep inhale of air he took bracing himself for what is to come.

"The daughter of the Hanadagi home has been brought back."

"Brought back?" he asked back.

"Her family sent her to a special children's school in a far away town."

"Was that all you gathered about her?"

"Her name is Hanadagi Aiyora, my lord."

"…And?" he mused not hiding how disinterested he was on the matter.

"Although her and her twin brother has received the Hanadagi family name but there is evidence that suggest that they are not legitimate child of Hanadagi-sama. Those twins came from a different mother."

Kaname did not hold back on the small chuckle that graced his lips.

Now it made sense as to why the twins looked out of place at first glance. Then again it was not out of the ordinary. Some purebloods kept few lovers on the side but those women were usually from the ambitious aristocrat group or lower but these twins were a full-fledged pureblood. So who could be their mother in this stance?

"Have you inquired on their mother?" Kaname pressed for more crossing his arms across his chest looking straight through the window.

"Her name was Shirabuki Akira, oldest daughter of the Shirabuki family. Shirabuki Sara is her little sister. The twins are the product of her liaison with the head of the Hanadagi family."

Kaname happened to be familiar with that name. After all, she was the only pureblood who mysteriously died in childbirth. Something that never happened in the long history of vampires which was why there were many mystery and theories regarding her death. But now he knows what exactly happened. It's the curse of the twins! The history of cursed twin did not start from the hunters but from the purebloods. It was them who actually passed on this curse upon the hunters. Just like the hunters for purebloods too when twins are conceived, one devours the other in the womb to be born as one. However exception once happened within the hunters with the birth of the Kiryu twins where one of the twins came out weak but here in the case of the purebloods, the twins have devoured their mother in order to survive.

"Were there any controversies linked to the twins?"

"Kaname-sama the information I gathered suggest that Hanadagi-sama never even met those twins. He went to slumber way ahead of their birth. However after they were born there was a nasty feud between the two pureblood families. It all started when Hanadagi-sama's wife wanted legal custody of twins since they were her husband's offspring and lord Shirabuki refused to give away his daughter's last remains."

"But then the twins ended up at the Hanadagi family…" Kaname let his thought out loud.

"There are rumors that suggest lady Hanadagi bribed Ichijo Asoto the former head of the council and snatched the children from the Shirabuki family. However after Shirabuki-sama went into his eternal slumber his daughter Shirabuki Sara showed no interest in bring the twins backs. Thus they were left to be raised by the older Hanadagi sons." Seiran elaborated.

He remained silent for while before dismissing his bodyguard. Even after Seiran was gone he remained deep in thoughts. The thought of this girl being alive bothered him. She maybe young but that necessarily does not mean she won't be dangerous. She is a pureblood after all, child or adult a pureblood vampire is never to underestimated . That brat from the Toma family stands as the biggest example what a pureblood child is capable off. If he can hurt Yuuki for a simple reason as to being offended by her words then this girl has way more valid reason to go after Yuuki's life. An eye for an eye! He killed her loved one and she in turn will return him the same taste.

And aside from those factors what gave him further more reason as to why this girl should be eliminated was the mere fact that the maddening blood of Shirabuki family streams in her.

The brunette marched towards where that cursed anti-vampire swords kept. He picked up the weapon ignoring the electricity that encircled his hand.

The decision has been made; Hanadagi Aiyora too will be graced by a visit from him, just like her brothers were.

a.n. that was all for the first chapter of this new version of Ultimate Betrayal. the next chapter will focus on Kaname and Aiyora's first meeting.
