"I WILL KILL YOU"

Uwa! I opened my eyes and shivered.

Kaname…I thought, I quickly ran out of bed and went out into the hallway. There was a distant light in the living room. Silently I walked to the room and threw open the door.

KANAME!! My heart swelled. He was safe. He looked startled. Yuuki, what's the matter?

I didn't reply. All I could do was run and fall beside his feet. I clutched his legs.

"Thank God you're alright, kaname, thank God!" without meaning to, I started to cry.

"Yuuki, what has happened that upsets you so? Kaname asked worried, putting a gentle and protective hand on my head. "Yuuki, tell me now"

I just continued to sob. After a moment, kaname let out a soft sigh and pulled me up into his arms and cradled me.

Just stay like this for a while. I'll be ok…I barely whispered.

Silence

"I'm sorry Aido, lets talk tomorrow."

I gasped and whipped my head around. Hanabusa Aido was sitting on the crouch across from us with a bemused expression. I jumped up, feeling my face turning red.

"I'm so sorry Aido sempai! I didn't meant to interrupt, I said, leaping into a deep bow.

I'll take my leave now!"

"No-yuuki…sama it's nothing like that! You don't have to-

"It's fine Aido-sempai! Good night!"

I scrambled to reach for the door knob.

"Yuuki, no matter what happens, don't worry, I will protect you." kaname said, looking me in the eye.I gave him a pathetically fake smile.

I'm not the one who's going to need protecting kaname oni-sama, I thought as I walked out of the room.
