~Kaien Cross's P.O.V~
I had just put Yuki to bed when a knock came at the door. I was momentarily confused since it was too late for human visitors and Kaname wouldn't come unless I'd trick him. I glanced at Yuki to see she was fast asleep. I smiled by how cute she was before rushing to the door as the knock came again.
"I'm coming, I'm coming. Hello?" I asked as I opened my front door. Outside my door stood Kaname, who was holding a small bag, and another vampire boy.
The blond boy resembled that Asato vampire from the vampire council. I did hear he had a grandson, Takuma. Could this be him? I noticed that this vampire held a sleeping girl and a kitten in his arms. Once I closed my door, the kitten jumped off the young girl and sat on the floor, seeming to look up at us all. I looked away to talk to Kaname.
"Oh, Kaname-Kun, what brings you here? Yuki is sleeping." I smiled and gestured for both of them to come inside. I stood away from the door as both boys walked in.
I lead the two, the three since the kitten followed as well, to my living room so we could sit as we talked. I sat on my chair and the two vampires sat beside one another on the couch. Kaname placed the small bag on the ground at his feet
"I'm not here about Yuki, Cross, I'm here since we found here in the middle of the road." He pointed to the girl that was sleeping in the other's arms.
"We don't know what happened to her but she seems hurt." The other boy seemed to finish what Kaname was probably going to say. He suddenly smiled at me so I smiled back. "I'm Takuma Ichijo, by the way. It's nice to meet you, Kaien Cross-San." He greeted himself.
So that boy was the grandson of Asato Ichio. This boy didn't seem to take after his grandfather at all. Unlike Asato, this boy seemed really friendly and kind. Maybe I'd invite him for tea one day. I took my attention off Ichijo-San to look at the girl again. She only looked to be six or seven years old so why would she be all alone and outside at this time of night?
"We were wondering if you can take care of this girl, Cross-San." Ichijo-San announced as he also gazed down at the girl. I smiled suddenly, feeling pleased. I had always wanted a family of my own and now I can have two daughters. Now all I need is a wife.
"She's so cute. Yes, of course. She can stay here, Kaname-Kun, Ichijo-San." I agreed and chuckled lightly when the girl suddenly shifted in Ichijo-San's arms, hugging onto the front of his shirt.
"Well, it's looks like she is waking up now." I pointed out, smiling at the young girl's cuteness. I was wondering how she'd react when she saw where she was now.
~Normal P.O.V~
I could hear faint voices, so far away from me yet so close to me. A heard a groan, so loud compared to the other sounds. Was I the one that made the groan? Where was I and who was talking? Who was I, what was my name? Why couldn't I remember anything?
I heard another escape my own lips as I felt my sore body shift into something that was gripping me. I felt something soft warm so I gripped it, trying to get more of the warmth.
"Kanojo wa kawaii. Hai mochiron. Kanojo wa koko ni todomaru koto ga dekiru, Kaname-Kun, Ichijo-Kun."(1) . The voice of a man got louder and more clear.
Somehow the words were so confusing yet I could understand them at the same time. I clutched tighter onto the thing I was holding onto, sudden feeling frightened.
"Kanojo wa genzai,-me o samasute iru yō mā, sore wa mieru."(2) The same voice repeated and I batted my eyes open to be met with brightness and a blurry vision of greyish green.
When my vision cleared I realized I was looking at someone's shirt, and not only looking but gripping onto it. Not only that, someone was wearing that same shirt.
"Huh?" I asked myself and tilted my head up and met up with two green orbs staring down at me. OK, at least that is something I can remember.
I remember how to tell the difference between different colors. I strange sound came from the boy I was sitting on, who I could not remember at all, then again I couldn't remember my own name let alone who this boy was.
I looked away from this unfamiliar boy to look around the rest of my surroundings. I saw another boy sitting next to the one that was holding me. I felt scared of him so I tightened my grip on the boy I was sitting on. I forced myself to look away to see a long haired woman, smiling at me.
"Anata ga tadashikute i masu, on'nanoko?" (3) The voice came out as a man's, but he looked almost womanish with that long hair of his long hair. I was still scared so I tightened my grip on the boy I was sitting on, who just seemed to laugh at me.
"Riyū wa nai kowagaru koto wa na ." (4) he laughed and I turned my head to see him smiling kindly at me. I gazed up at him, frowning as I looked at the other boy again, who was looking back now.
"Anata no o namae wa nani desu ka?" (5) he asked but since I couldn't remember at the time, I whimpered and hugged the boy I was sitting on. He seemed so much kinder than the boy beside me.
~Kaname's P.O.V~
I sighed silently as the girl pushed herself more towards Ichijo's chest, looking frightened. He seemed to be the only one she was trusting. Besides fear, I could also notice confusion in her eyes, like she had no idea what was going on.
"I will not hurt you. Please don't be afraid." I told the girl as I leaned in to get a closer look at her. I had a strange feeling she may have lost all her memories, like Yuki did.
She whimpered again I caught her eyes in mine so I could stare into them. I tried to use one of my pureblood powers to look into her past. This body was only nine so, even if I was actually a lot older than that, the powers were weaker than I wanted them to be. Yet I focused harder but only saw very fuzzy images and blackness. This girl indeed had her memories locked up.
"Her memories were locked up by someone." I informed the others and released the girl from my stare.
~Takuma's P.O.V~
I frowned sadly down at the frightened girl that was hugging against me. It was sad how she had lost her memories, just like Yuki had. Was it just like Yuki though or was she some human his amnesia? I also didn't really understand why out of everyone here, she seemed to trust me the most. I was the only one she didn't look scared of. It was a little confusing but it also made the young girl cuter.
~Kaien Cross's P.O.V~
So, another girl with locked up memories huh? It's just like what Juri did to Yuki so could this girl be the same as her; a pureblood turned human? Or was she a normal human with amnesia? While ether way it was a very good chance I'd get to keep her.
"Well it's really late and, even if vampires, you boys are still young. Ichijo-San, your grandfather would be wondering where you are by now, wouldn't he?" I smiled as I already knew the answer, his eyes widening in realization already.
"Oh, yes he would. Thank you for reminding me, Cross-San." He thanked and tried to remove the girl from his lap.
~Normal P.O.V~
The three men continued to talk after the boy looked away from my eyes. That had really scared me; I felt as if he could see right through me. It frightened and startled me even more when the green eyed boy tried to remove me from his lap.
"NO!" I found myself forming a word and shouting it. I didn't want the boy to leave me alone with these people.
"Oh, so you speak English. That could be why you didn't respond before." The older, womanish, man said and I looked at him to see him smiling but I frowned back.
"You don't have to be scared. This man will take good care of you. There is another little girl living here as well. I have to go home now. You'll be safe now." Green eyes, or Ichijo as the other man has called him. I frowned and looked at the other man nervously before nodding, deciding to trust this man since this boy did.
I crawled off him and onto the floor since I didn't want to get near the other boy; he still scared me. Once I was sitting on the floor a silver furry thing jumped into my lap and licked my cheek. A kitten! A cute kitten. I stroked it's fur twice before hugging it twice. I pulled my attention away from it when I noticed the two boys walking past me.
"Bye bye." The green eyed blond waved to me before both of them disappeared from my sight.
I frowned since I was now all alone with a grown man I didn't know. Then again I had very few memories so I would know no one I guess.
"You must be tired now, follow me and I'll take you to the room you'll stay in for a few nights. You'll share with my Yuki after a while, OK?" I didn't really understand what he was talking about but he held out a hand that I guessed he wanted me to take. I hesitated for a moment before taking my small hand into his.
The man smiled kindly at me as he began to walk so I walked after him. I may have not understand anything at the time but I had a feeling everything would become clear soon enough.
The real story will begin after this chapter ^^
(1): She's so cute. Yes, of course. She can stay here, Kaname-Kun, Ichijo-Kun (She is so cute. Yes, of course. She can stay here, my need, my Ichijo)
