Yuuki peered out of the tinted windows at the approaching academy. It had been restored since the final battle with Rido, and looked better than ever. Kaname sat next to her, giving soft orders to the chauffer. Aidou, Ruka, and Kain were riding in the car behind them, leaving Kaname all to herself.

She had to admit she liked being alone with him. The way his red-brown eyes focused all their attention on her made her skin tingle with excitement. His hand rested on her knee and the gesture was both protective and possessive. She wanted to take his hand in hers so badly. Her hand twitched as she tried to work up the nerve.

Kaname sat back from giving the chauffeur directions. He was surprised to feel Yuuki's small hand slide to gently grip his. His heart leapt in his throat as her fingers laced through his. He turned to see her heart shaped face turned up to his, a bright smile on her face.

"Thank you, Onii-sama, for bringing me." She said. Kaname gripped her hand, a soft smile gracing his elegant features. Hearing her call him her brother meant so much to him, and it brought him more happiness then he expected.

"You don't have to thank me, Yuuki." He said softly. The car slowed to a halt, and their moment was over. The chauffeur opened the door and Kaname slid out. He held out his hand for Yuuki and she climbed out as well. They were joined by the three noble vampires as they climbed the stairs.

Above them, the sky filled with dark, heavy clouds. Thunder boomed in the distance, and Yuuki clasped Kaname's arm. She never liked thunderstorms. They were dark and scary. She felt Kaname's arm encircle her waist and her fingers gripped his coat.

She was nervous about being here. She wondered if Zero were here, and if so, would he really kill her? She wasn't ready to die. She had so much to do in her life. She wanted to be married and possibly have kids. She snuck a peek at Kaname. Her face heated and she quickly looked ahead, embarrassed that she had such thoughts about her onii-sama.

"Yuuki-chan!" Came a distant cry. The vampires paused, confused. Suddenly, the chairman appeared, tears streaming down his face.

He latched onto Yuuki. "Yuuki-chan! It's been so long since you've come to see me! I was beginning to think you'd forgotten about me!" he wailed.

Yuuki pushed him off of her with a small smile. "Headmaster." She greeted. Kaien stood and cleared his throat, turning to Kaname.

"Kaname-sama. Your rooms have been prepared. Please, have dinner with me before you retire for the day." Kaien offered graciously.

"Thank you for the rooms, Chairman. We unfortunately cannot have dinner with you tonight for Yuuki is tired and must rest. Perhaps tomorrow though," Kaname negotiated with a small smile. Kaien nodded understandingly.

"Very well. Kaname-sama, I must speak with you after you have settled in. Please come to my office once you are ready." Cross-san said. Kaname nodded and the troop headed for their rooms.

"I wonder if I'll have my old room," Ruka said thoughtfully. Aidou and Kain nodded, following along behind.

"I hope so." Aidou said. "I liked my room."

Kain opened the doors for the royal couple and they entered the empty foyer. It was as grand as it had been when it was occupied by the night class.

They parted ways in the Moon Dorms. Yuuki was surprised to learn she was to share a room with her onii-sama.

"For your protection, Yuuki." Kaname explained gently. Their luggage was already in the room, so Yuuki set about unpacking.

The room was large, with a king four poster bed in the corner. A large fireplace sat nestled against the wall and a desk sat next to a large window. It was luxurious and comfortable, but had yet to be homey. Yuuki would be sure to make it so.

Kaname watched his little sister closely as she busied herself. Outside, lightning cracked and it made her jump. He could sense her unease at the storm, and looked forward to soothing her as they rested during the day.

She flitted over to the fireplace, glancing around curiously.

"Onii-sama," Yuuki said, turning to look at him. "It's rather cold in here. Is there any firewood?"

Kaname came forth and pulled some from underneath a tarp next to the fireplace. He began preparing the fire, Yuuki standing nearby.

"I could do it." Yuuki offered. "You have to go meet with the headmaster, Onii-sama." She reached out and gently took the firewood from his hands. She smiled at him and shooed him away.

Holding back a laugh, he let his sister take over and left to meet with Cross-san.

The headmaster was looking out his large window when Kaname entered. Outside rain poured mercilessly down onto the academy.

"Kaname-sama. I'm glad to see you and Yuuki arrive safely." Kaien turned around to face him. "However, a bigger threat now poses itself against the Kuran family."

Kaname arched a dark eye brow. He was surprised to find out Kaien knew more than him. He let him continue.

Kaien sat down heavily in his chair and rubbed his eyes. "Unfortunately, Rido was not killed as you thought he was."

Kaname's eyes widened and he gasped sharply. "What do you mean?" he demanded.

Kaien looked at him with sad eyes. "Zero was unable to deliver the finishing blow. He was able to deliver a blow much like the one you gave Rido when Yuuki was five."

The pureblood clenched his hands. "How do you know this?"

"Zero told me when he was having a blood craving. Also, rumors are floating around that people have been behaving oddly in the big cities. And their eyes are changing colors. To red and blue."

Kaname cursed inwardly. How could Zero have failed so miserably? Now Rido was back and from the sound of it, possessing people again.

"Any news of his body regenerating?" Kaname asked. Kaien shook his head.

"No. Zero has left to go searching for him, or any news of him." Cross said. Kaname sighed, his hopes of a peaceful life being pushed further away.

"Contact me when he has returned. Keep him away from Yuuki." Kaname said quietly. Kaien agreed.

"Does Yuuki know? About you not really being her older brother?" Kaien asked cautiously. Kaname paused.

"Yes." He answered softly.

Flashback

"Wh-what do you mean, Kaname-senpai?" Yuuki asked, tears quivering in her eyes. They were tearing at Kaname. He felt helpless, torn. He couldn't believe he was once again the cause of Yuuki's pain.

"I'm not your true brother. I was awakened by Rido so he could devour me and gain more power. I am one of the ancestors of the Kuran clan. But our parents took me in when I was young and raised me as their own. They raised me as your older brother. And I wish more than anything I was your real brother." He fell to his knees before her, clasping her hands in his. She's going to leave me, he thought. She's going to leave me alone again.

Yuuki knelt in front of him, placing his hands next to her cheek. How strong Kaname-senpai is, she wondered. To overcome years of loneliness and hardships and still be the most amazing person she knew made him perfect in her eyes.

Kaname looked at Yuuki, shocked. "You are my onii-sama. No matter what anyone else says."

End Flashback

Cross nodded, pleased. "Good. Sleep well, Kaname-sama."


Yuuki smiled triumphantly, the fire roaring to life. She stood and stretched her long legs. Walking over to the dresser, she began stripping. Laying her travel clothes over the back of a chair, she slipped a small nightgown over her head. She flipped her long brown hair out and grabbed her brush.

Suddenly, her senses went on red alert. She felt like she wasn't alone. Goosebumps broke out on her skin. She slowly turned towards the window, walking forward. Outside was pitch black and rain made it even harder to see.

Lightning flashed, illuminating the outdoor balcony. But no one was there. She relaxed and told herself to stop acting paranoid. Grabbing her favorite book, she settled into a large chair next to the fireplace and waited for her onii-sama.


Zero cursed, leaping into the night. He knew Yuuki arrived at the academy today and he told himself he would leave before she got there.

But the Kurans got there earlier than he expected. So he went, for what reason he didn't know, to see Yuuki. She was making a fire when he arrived. When she stood and turned, he was caught by her beauty. Other than her long hair, she still looked like the Yuuki he loved. Her eyes were kind and warm, though a bit sad and worried. Selfishly, he wondered if it were because of him.

He remembered their last conversation. She said she would be waiting for the moment when he would kill her. But as he gazed at the pureblood, he wondered if he would really be able to. Seeing her again trudged up so many emotions. Anger, love, sadness, hate, envy. He gripped his gun, Bloody Rose, but paused.

She began to undress. He told himself to look away, yet he couldn't. Each article of clothing she took off was almost like a tease. Her movements were slow and deliberate, and he found himself trapped. Her body had developed over the past years and she was no longer the little girl he always thought she was. She had curves. The perfect amount of curves. His face heated as his eyes raked over her naked body. Then she put a nightgown on and the moment was broken. Cursing himself, he turned and leapt away.


Kaname entered the room, still brooding over his conversation with Cross. But when he caught sight of Yuuki, all his worried melted away temporarily.

She sat reading a book next to the fire. The flickering orange light doused her in a warm glow. She looked up and smiled brightly when she saw who it was. Setting down the book, she unfolded herself from the chair and came to greet him. He was mesmerized by her movements. The light from the fire shone through her nightgown and he could see the silhouette of her curves. His manhood twitched at the sight.

"Onii-sama. How was it?" Yuuki asked. He was snapped out of the trance by her voice.

"Let's talk about it some other time. I am tired." Kaname said. Yuuki's brow furrowed in concern.

"Well come on. Let's go to bed." She took his hand and led him to the bed. Kaname inwardly groaned. How he wanted her to utter those words under different circumstances.

She slipped into bed and waited for him, leaning on one elbow. Nimbly, his fingers undid his buttons to his shirt and it slipped effortlessly to the floor. He could see Yuuki's eyes widen a fraction and a blush tint her cheeks. He kicked off his shoes and climbed in after her.

Gathering her into his arms, Kaname relaxed. He loved the way her body fit to his perfectly. He felt her muscles loosen and her breathing even out. Soon, she was asleep, her fingers curled into his hair.

Satisfied, Kaname too fell into a light sleep.
