The morning of Yuuki's first birthday was coming up, and the Kurans were ecstatic about throwing a party for their daughter. "Kaname, dear. Can you help me with something?" Juuri asked her son one day, while Yuuki was engrossed in a book that Haruka was reading to her in the living room. "Yes, mother?" Kaname asked, coming into the hallway. Juuri motioned for Kaname to sit down in one of the chairs that sat against the wall, listened for a moment at her husband reading to their daughter, and turned her attention to Kaname. "Since Yuuki's birthday is coming up, i was wondering if you would help me with the party plans." Juuri said, already dreaming about the party and her daughter's reaction. "That's a wonderful idea. Although, we'd have to limit the guest list..." Kaname trailed off, thinking of Rido or any other Kuran family member that would dare try to hurt Yuuki. "Of course, dear. We'll keep it small, just in case. Would you help me shop for decorations and stationary for the invitations?" Juuri asked her son, ecstatic about the party. Kaname nodded enthusiastically, already on board with the idea, and when Juuri grabbed her keys to the black Mercedes, Juuri called to her husband "Haruka dear, you'll have to watch Yuuki for awhile. Me and Kaname are going shopping." *Time Skip* The day had come. Yuuki's birthday was officially on the rise, and as the sun descended over the horizon, Juuri, Haruka, and Kaname got to work while Yuuki slept tranquilly. Streamers hung from the rafters of the Kuran mansion, balloons were drifting in the air all around the Kuran's, and a cake with presents surrounding the dining room table was in its place. "It's perfect. Kaname, i think the Hanabusa's are here." Haruka called to his son, who showed up a few minutes later, already opening the door. "Aidou, it's great to see you again." Kaname greeted his friend, smiling a warmhearted smile as the Hanabusa's stepped into his home. When the Kuran estate was filled with guests, and Yuuki was about to wake up, Haruka and Juuri played hosts while Kaname went upstairs to help Yuuki get dressed. "What's going on, Kana- me?" A sleepy Yuuki asked, rubbing the sleep from her eyes as Kaname picked her up and whispered in her ear "Happy birthday, my dearest Yuuki."
