Kaname's POV (Sneak peek into the pureblood's mind!)
I didn't understand why the Senate always insisted I write reports like this. It was a tiring and highly time consuming task. As I set down my pen and exhaled, I laid my head on the desk. All I really wanted right now was to see my dear Yuki, to see her beautiful, sweet, carefree smile and her adorable blush.
Earlier in the day she'd claimed to have a headache and had to skip the activities Kaien had arranged. I'd tried to go alone, but it felt pointless since I was only exchanging glares with Kiryu and ignoring the day class fan girls, who were all fawning and 'kyah kyah' ing. Everything felt so meaningless without Yuki, and I couldn't help worrying out of my mind. The last time she was sick was years ago. Having sudden headaches, especially at this critical stage made me a little on edge, which was why I'd decided to return to the cabin to watch over her. In case…in case…
I sighed, and yawned, exposing my fangs. Running around during the day really tired me out. I eyed the door, wanting to leave the room. My bed was uncomfortable, and I didn't like it much. It was over loaded with pillows, which were taking up way too much space. They were beginning to get on my nerves... Earlier I'd been sharpening my nails with them, but the feathers got too annoying so I incinerated them without thinking, burning the bed to the ground too, in my frustration. Ahhhh, if only Yuki was a little child…then I'd still be able to share the bed with her…
Shaking my head at my own dirty thoughts, I stood up and stretched my cramped arms, wondering if Yuki was still sleeping and if she was having a good dream. As for me…well, the sofa in the lounge did look quite inviting, like the one back in my dorm. I'll crash there for the night, I decided silently. As I reached for the door handle, a sudden creak made me pause. It sounded like a window opening from Yuki's room.
The sleeping princess awakes, I mused. Hopefully I wasn't the one that woke her up. Dropping my hand, I turned and quietly strode to the window instead, gazing at the moon. I couldn't help but wonder what Yuki was thinking about. Maybe about sweets and food. My lips tugged up slightly, as I recalled her staring at the resin rose I'd offered her a while back. She'd gawked at it so intently I'd thought she was thinking, Is this food? Why isn't this food!?
Achoo!
I bit my lip, trying to stop the chuckle from escaping my lips. She's so cute, even her sneeze is adorable. Oh, Yuki…
I heard the bed creak a few times before the room settled back into silence once more. I shut my eyes, wanting to relax, but tensed as a sudden, steady stream of pain and sorrow begin to erode out of Yuki room.
"Yuki…" I whispered. My heart tightened uncomfortably, my throat constricting. Just what could possibly make her that sad? My cheerful, happy Yuki needed to stay that way. If I could, I'd try to make all her troubles disappear, but this is her life, so her problems were hers to deal with. Not mine.
Could it be Kiryu? No, he seemed happy lately so that couldn't be the reason Yuki was unhappy. So then just why-
Then it hit me, full on. My chest suddenly felt hollowed. It was…loneliness, like all vampires have to endure through the long flow of time. To think Yuki have had to deal with this, so early on in her life…I felt, well, worthless that I couldn't do a thing about it…the last person she's want to see right now would be me. She's always been afraid of me, and I mustn't mistake her friendly demeanor, the one she had with everyone else, with feeling for me. The blood sucking monster which she no doubtly hates…
My gaze lowered to the ground slowly. I hated the feeling of being useless. The powers of a pureblood coursed through me, battling and raging to be let out. I took a deep breath and forcefully held it down.
Somewhere in the dark, unknown night, an owl hooted.
Oh, Yuki…if only…
