Author's note: Wha-? This is one of the fastest update that ever happened in the history of my life! *is shot* But don't get used to it, because I'm going to be buried under piles of assignment starting next day. So, please be patient with me!

Rating: T for now (Might migrate to M, depending on the review responses and my inspirations.)

Warning: Nothing much in this chapter, warning from chapter one applies for the rest of this story! Oh.. And much much Kaname and Yuuki interaction in this chapter. I don't want to write it, but it's essential for the plot.. so. *sniffs*

Plus this chapter is short and lack of Zerorin. Go on, shoot me with your rotten tomato guns, I surrender! T^T

Chapter un-betaed. But please, enjoy?


I'm sorry..

I'm sorry that I love you so much, that I can't let go..

I'm sorry for loving you..

I'm sorry.


Rido contemplated for a second, finding the weakness in those eyes belonged to the 7-year-old petite girl. He wouldn't risk failing his own plan just because of one dense girl, and a grin plastered on his face, a couple of minute after.

"Listen, Yuuki..." He scooped the girl up in his arms, making his way to the secluded library in the manor, leaving Kaname and Zero to themselves, his mismatched eyes flickered with a pinch of wicked fire.

Fate 1: Doubts

A day after...

Kaname closed the main entrance's double door with a loud click as his keen vampire hearing sense noted the slightly loud tick of his pocket watch, indicating that it was approximately 6 o'clock in the evening.

He audibly sighed in frustration while shrugging off his rain-coat and hung it neatly by the wooden coat-hanger at his side. It was raining mercilessly outside, that he had to cut off his usual meeting time with his beloved silver-haired hunter.

They'd often hang out together until it was in the nick of time and no one would forbid them from doing so. He had asked Zero to spend his time with him in the Kuran Manor rather than heading back to his home. But the petite boy had refused, saying that Kaname should give more attention to Yuuki instead of him while making an excuse of him wanting to take care of the sickly Ichiru back at the Kiryuu household.

The idea of tailing after Zero towards the Kiryuu household had crossed his mind, but he refrained himself from doing so, not because Zero didn't approve of the idea (the silver-haired petite had even considered it for a second), but because of the occupants of that house.

Ever since the Kiryuu twins lost their parents, they were put under the care of Yagari Touga who served his task as the twins' temporary guardian as well as training the older twin towards becoming a Vampire Hunter. But Yagari Touga wasn't Kaname's concern, the one who irked him the most was another occupant of the house, a certain ash-brown hunter, namely Kaito Takamiya who was currently residing at Zero's house.

If Kaito Takamiya's overflowing hatred towards vampire wasn't obvious enough, the teen had an irritating aura surrounding him. And the fact that Takamiya had an unbidden attachment toward his Zero made Kaname's blood boiled in rage.

Kaname would have entertained the other hunter and indulged himself in a fight or two with him, but he was raised better than that. And the last thing that Kaname wanted to do was to make Zero upset. After all, the silver-haired hunter considered Kaito Takamiya as his dear friend too.

An insistent tug at his shirt cut his mind away from his current thought as Kaname glanced down to attend to the source of the tugging.

"Kaname-oniisama!"

A petite brunette beamed herself to the towering figure of Kaname, wrapping her arms around Kaname's waist.

"... Yuuki."

The brunet turned around attentively as he knelt to level himself with his sister's gaze, the girl was smiling sheepishly at him.

"Look, Kaname-oniisama!"

Kaname was startled for a second when the petite brunette suddenly fished out something from her flowery blouse's pocket and showed the item eagerly at him.

There, in Yuuki's small grasp was a small bottle with an intricate classic design. Inside the bottle was a rose bud which bloomed only for every ten years hardened with raisins. It was the gift that he had given Yuuki about three months ago, when he stumbled across the rose on his way back from a journey.

"... And what's with this special rose of yours, Yuuki? I see no such abnormality upon it."

"Of course it's normal! But look, oniisama! Rido-ojisama taught me how to polish this bottle, isn't it shiny and beautiful now?"

Kaname cast a smile at his dear sister as he gracefully took the bottle from her grasp. Scrutinizing it with the keen claret eyes of his as he saw his own image reflected from the surface of the vessel.

"Well done, my dear Yuuki. And what do you request for in return of this hard work of yours?" The older vampire offered to his sister.

At times, Kaname wondered if he pampered his little sister a tad bit too much. But if that was the fact, then so be it. Because he wanted to shower Yuuki with those loves that she didn't get from their parents. It worked almost the same as how his dear Zero wanted to do his best for his twin brother.

The brunet shook his head a little, realizing that the thought of Zero had just invaded his mind while his little sister was right here in front of him.

"Kaname-oniisama!" The little girl beamed enthusiastically at him yet again.

"Yes, Yuuki?" Kaname kept on with the smile plastered on his face as he entertained his sister's antic.

"Will you give me the same gift as this rose in another ten years?" The petite brunette requested, as her big brown eyes fixated on his brother's claret ones.

One of Kaname's fine eyebrows raised upon his sister's request.

"But why so, Yuuki? Isn't this one enough for you?" He inquired.

"Yes, Kaname-oniisama! But I want to give one of them to Zero-kun!" She stated suddenly, receiving a startled look from his brother.

"Zero? But why, Yuuki?"

The petite brunette shifted her gaze downwards, looking as if she was contemplating about something. As Kaname noticed it, he brought his fingers underneath her rounded chin and lifted up here head.

"Tell me, why? Yuuki."

"I... I think Zero-kun wants the same gift as mine too!" The girl blurted out, the expression on her face was one of a troubled child.

"Zero did? That's hardly possible Yuuki... Zero isn't one who wished for another person's possession." Kaname stated firmly, his heart was telling him that Zero won't wish for something like that. Because he knew Zero more than anyone else.

"Are you doubting me, oniisama? The other day, I showed this rose to Zero-kun and he was looking at it with a pair of yearning eyes."

Yuuki had a hurtful look on her face as his brother remained silent upon her statement.

"So, Kaname-oniisama no longer trust me..." She said those words with the strain voice of her as she directed her gaze to the floor, looking as if she was about to cry when suddenly a pair of comforting arms wrapped around her shoulder.

"Of course not, Yuuki. You know I trust you. But the next time this rose blooms, I'm the one who's going to give it straightly to Zero, alright?"

"No... Let me give it to him, oniisama!" She uttered the words with a voice filled with excitement.

"And what's your reason for that, Yuuki?"

"I want Zero-kun to open up to me, Kaname-oniisama! Because he hardly talk to me and always give me those scary glares of his!" Yuuki shrieked with her girly voice at the last part, earning a confused look from her brother yet again.

For a second, Kaname wondered if his sister was telling the truth. Because Zero never sent those hateful glares of his to anyone else, except during the beginning of their relationship. And he out of all people knew it too well that Zero was just too passive and perhaps shy to start any conversation with unfamiliar people.

After all the silver-haired hunter had once voiced out his problem about being a socially awkward person. And Kaname was actually grateful for Zero's problem, because that only meant that he would get less rival to compete for his Zero's heart.

Kaname was too keen to change the direction of their conversation, or else his mind might ended up with bundle of questions and uncertainty waiting to be answered. And hence he tried to start a new conversation with his sister.

"That aside Yuuki. Do you have any other request aside from that?" He inquired gently, hoping that the girl's request won't be something that would mess with his head yet again.

"Let's play hide-and-seek for this weekend, Kaname-oniisama!" The girl suggested, bumping her body into her brother's chest as she snuggled to him like a little puppy. Kaname only chuckled upon such gesture from his dear sister.

"Just the two of us, Yuuki? That would be boring. And where to? Because you know I have memorized your every hiding spot in this manor, Yuuki."

"You can ask Zero-kun to play with us if you want to! And let's play at the garden near the cliff! There is some pretty good hiding spot there!" The girl looked up to her brother with her hopeful eyes.

"As long as you promise me not to get near the cliff, then it's a deal, Yuuki." Kaname reached out his hand to stroke the silky brown locks of his dear sister, his eyes telling her that his warning was serious.

"I promise! But on one condition, you have to be the first person to search us! That means Kaname-oniisama will become 'the ghost' first!"

Kaname contemplated for a second before he replied.

"It's a deal then, Yuuki."

Never did he know, that it was the deal that sealed the fate of his entire life, along with his love one.
