This chapter is dedicated to: DarkSmile, xxdarkvampireangelxx, RaunchyRonnie & charming nightmares. Thank you all so much for reviewing/adding this story to your favourites list/alerting or doing all three for this story than you soooo much.
A/N: I am soory that this s out late...Unfortunately I will not be updating for a little while, because my laptop has/is being sent in for repairs. (My profile explains why.)I do however have a desk top so I will be trying to update it but seeing as it goes less than a mile a minute and how it is already being used by 2 people 24/7 seven I most likely not get the chance, so sorry about that. However I do have good news. Because of the fact that I won't have a laptop to occupy me I'll have more time to write (even if I have to do it on paper first [pouts] LOL)... So if you're lucky (and you review) there might be two chapters when I get my laptop back. KK...on with the second chapter...
All reviews are welcome...even anonymous reviews. Constructive criticism is welcome but NO flames.
KK I hope you like the chapter...

"I've been doing some research." Aidou said
"Research on what?" Asked Yori
"Kaname-sama's [A/N...not sure if he uses the formal title when Kaname's not there so I decided to us it.^-^] been hiding something...something about his parents, something about his past, and I've been doing some research on it." Aidou said shrugging his shoulders.
"And did you find any thing?" Yori asked the prestigious blond vampire Aidou.
"Nothing...other than the fact that everything I come across that could be or is a clue set in on fire- right in front of my eyes- and not damaging anything other than the 'clue' its really frustrating" he said
"That's strange." She whispered
"Yes it is, but not as strange as the fact that we are never caught sneaking around in the night to see each other. You would think that after so many years of sneaking around every night someone would find out." He said with a silly grin on his face.
A soft bell like laugh quickly filled the area...it was Yori.
XxOoOxXxOoOxX
They were almost at the lake, when Yori stopped dead in her tracks. Aidou stopped not even a step ahead of Yori.
"What's wrong hun?" he asked while taking in her facial expression.
It seemed that she was lost in space. So lost in the space deep inside her thoughts that for a moment he thought that she wasn't going to answer, but only for the briefest fraction of a second. She did though, almost immediately. Just not in the way he expected.
"Hababusa when a human gets pregnant with a vampire noble or the other way around. How many parts vampire and how many parts human would then child-have- to be?"
Aidou was slightly confused why would Yori ask about the...nature...of a child born of a human and a vampire? He also couldn't help but notice the way Yori added have to the sentnce. He didn't seem to be thinking of the happenings of the other night, because the happenings wouldn't make his way to the front of his mind.
"The child would be ½ vampire and ½ human, it would be inevitable" He shrugged as he said this, though he seriously wanted to ask the simple yet complex question Why but thought better of it, sensing that Yori was about to say something he stayed quit until she spoke.
"I that case Hanabusa, I have to tell you something , but you have to swear you will not get over excited and freeze the forest or even freak-in a good- way throughout out any means." She said this dully with a simple shrug. If she was talking to anybody else they would have thought that she didn't mean any thing by it, that she was kidding and that anything she is going to say doesn't have much importance. But having known her for years now (about six) I could pinpoint pretty much every (make that every) single one of her emotions, and honestly it could be very, very hard to pinpoint her emotions because she is very, very good at hiding her emotions.
"I swear, so what is it?" he asked
She took one quick gulp of air (a very silent gulp at that) than spat it out...
"I'm pregnant, and the child is your's-" she was cut short by Aidou.
"REALLY...WOW! THAT'S AWESOME CAN YOU BELIVE IT, DID YOU TAKE A TEST? WAIT HOW DO YOU KNOW SO SOON IT'S ONLY BEEN THREE DAY'S!" he said so fast that to some it would be nothing but gibberish, so much for swearing.
Yori blushed as the happenings of three nights ago flooded her head. That night with out a doubt made it onto her top 10 list of the best things in her life actually it made her top five. However she quickly composed herself and pushed the thoughts to the back of her mind.
"WILL YOU JUST BE QUITE FOR A SECOND, I'm not done..."
Aidou abruptly stopped, he knew she wasn't mad (the blush on her face was evidence of that) but he knew what she had to say was important, he also knew that she raised her voice to make sure that he actually didn't freeze the forest, however that was only a fraction of the reason. So he nodded for her to continue.
"before I continue I will however answer your questions...Number 1- No I didn't take a test, that would be impossible, seeing as that technology does not work that fast –it takes a hell of a lot more days than just three days for that stupid piece of technology to be even useful...Number 2- do you really have to ask? How do I always know the answers for test's without studying, how did I know you weren't human before you did that spectacular ice show on the hottest day of spring?"
He playfully hit his forehead then said-
"I should have guessed as much, I rarely ever see you rely on technology for your personal uses, in place of the modern technology of the humans you've learned to/use and trust your intuition. Strange for a human though." He muttered the last sentence under his breath. She still heard him but didn't bother pointing it out.
She smiled...
"Good now that that's settled, there is something of more importance, something else about the baby-" again she was cut short, even with Aidou this was odd at least it was when he was around her.
"WHAT, what's wrong with the baby!"
"SHIT, sorry continue!" he said.
She giggled...
"Nothing's wrong with the baby, except for the fact that it's not half vampire it's ¾ vampire and ¼ human and seems to be...changing, which should be impossible due to the fact that I am full human and you full vampire, and as you said it's inevitable that it be ½ and ½, and here it is ¾ vampire and seeming to be changing...rapidly."
Aidou walked into a tree-which was completely ironic because neither could remember when they started walking again, up until a second ago they were not even aware that the had started walking again, they still thought the were standing in the same spot where Yori and he stopped before her question on the nature of a vampire's and a humans child. The both burst out laughing, because a noble vampire walking into a tree unintended was next to impossible due to their heightened senses, so the fact that he a noble vampire literally walked into a tree was hilarious. Yori nearly toppled over laughing but quickly composed herself. Her expression changing from one of hilarity to one of seriousness in a matter of seconds. The reality of it scared him but he pushed it off.
"Yori, we should head back." He said mater-of-factly
"Awww come on, it's early." She whined
Aidou laughed...
"Yori, by any chance are you wearing a watch? Because I am and I honestly should tell you that it's less then 2 hours till dawn, in other words day class period 1 starts in little more than 3 ½ hours and that Yuuki is due to arrive back at your dorm in less than 10 minutes...what would she think Yori, if you weren't in bed when she got back?" Aidou stated matter-of-factly.
"Damnit, why the hell does time have to go so fast!" She scolded
Aidou laughed.
"Shit I'm not going to make it back in less than 10 minutes, Yuuki's going to kill me!" she spat.
"Hey, give your self some credit Yori, your boyfriend is a vampire-a fast one at that- and you are worried about being late for getting back to your dorm...honestly Yori with me you could be back at your dorm in less than five minutes" he said.
She laughed-
"Fine, but on one condition, no running into trees." She said trying to suppress her ever growing laughing fit.
Aidou playfully scowled but halfway through his scowl he also burst out laughing. With that Yori jumped onto his back and he took off running.
XxOoOxXxOoOxX
As promised he got her back in less than 5 minutes (4minutes: 35seconds: 10miliseconds to be exact). He even jumped up to her 3rd floor dorm room window (which she conveniently always leaves unlocked). After making sure she was safely in her room he went in after her. Before she even got to move a muscle toward her dressers. Aidou was already there, he quickly went to her P.J drawer and grabbed the first pair he saw and rushed back to Yori, and quickly and silently led her to the bathroom in less than 5 seconds.
She came out less than 3 minutes later with her teeth brushed, and fully dressed in 100% silk pyjamas the colour of lavender. The top had intricately exotic and elegant vines & leaves in a lighter purple than the lavender color of the rest of the P.J's, the exotic designs all branched out from single flower (lavender) embroidered on the upper reaches of her chest (on her right breast). The pants were just a simple lavender, they had no designs what so ever but it complimented her all the more. The were a gift from Aidou.
He quickly rushed over to her whisked her up "bridal style" and the gently put her in her bed. After a quick make out session, he whispered sweet dreams. Then not seconds after Yuuki walked through the main floor door, did Yori whisper good night and he jump out the window. The second he landed he sprinted back to the moon dorms without being seen.
All the way there he had but one thing on his mind. I have to talk Kaname-sama and see if he might know anything about this. He unconsciously squeezed the book he had in his hand- Yori's family tree. He snuck it out of Yori's dorm room. He took it out while she was changing (she told him that he could borrow it not a week before, but at the time he was to busy with her to let it cross his mind.) He also knew that with this new urgency she wouldn't mind if he borrowed it (she honestly didn't mind if he borrowed any thing from her). He decided to sneak it out anyway, he didn't want to worry her with the sudden urgency to see it based on the child's "culture". So he successfully snuck it out unnoticed...at least he thought he did, Yori saw it in his hand before he jumped out the window, but instead of it worrying her it left the opposite effect she smiled instead she honestly found nothing wrong with him borrowing it but that was only because she didn't know what he was worrying about...but she would soon find out.
But one thing was for sure, Yori was more than human (unknown to her) and because of that the baby was to changing. He also knew that he had to talk to Kaname immediately, for Kaname was the only vampire he knew that was familiar of every vampire clan in history. Kaname was also the only vampire inside and out side of cross academy (save for his cousin, who just happened to have walked in on him and Yori previously [Aidou smiled at the memory it was hilarious]) that knew about his and Yori's relationship. He was the only one who knew (save for Kain [because Kain not only got used to it but also cared too much for his cousin to question his happieness]) who wouldn't find it weird that Aidou's girl friend (and love of his life) was and is a human- at least he thought she was- because Kaname is also in love with a human girl. That girl just so happens to be Yori's best friend and room mate Yuuki Cross.

Aidou's POV
-
I ran all the way back to the moon dorms. The second I got to the door I didn't even bother to turn the handle and sneak in as I usually did. No instead I literally kicked the door open and ran. Ran up the elegant stair case, 100% aware of the fact that whole student body of the moon dorms had their eyes on me, and I could honestly care less. All I know is that something strange is happening, some thing that could just so happen to change every thing. Another thing was clear as well this "changing" baby just may end up being the least of their problems, and at thee same time it may also play a huge role in everything. Weather the child held the least or the most important role in this chain of weird and unexplainable events, I honestly had no clue.
Due to this I had to get to Kaname fast. I had to see if he could spot any names that belonged to vampires of the present and previous generations that might have something (anything) to do with the current events. And yes I said vampires. The only possible explanation- in my eyes-for this is the slight (oh...ever so slight) possibility is not entirely human. But at the same time I some how knew that was a lie. But what aspect of that statement was/is a lie? That I honestly don't know, nut I plan to find out.
Before I made it to the top of the stair case, I was preparing to stop. But before I even got the chance Kaname's door opened, as if he knew I was coming Who am I kidding, of course he knew I was coming.
"Hurry in Aidou." Said Kaname lazily
I nodded and the second I stepped into the room the door started closing behind me, and the silent click of a lock could be heard. I bowed (at least I tried to) when Kaname stopped me by saying-
"Aidou there is no time for such formalities, you and I both know what you are here for, so why don't you come over here so we can discuss the...uh...situation."
"Yes Kaname-sama, thank you." I replied.
Then I quickly walked over to where he was sitting by the window sill. The second I reached the window sill he said-
"So Yori's pregnant."
It wasn't a question but I knew that I had to answer.
"Yes" I said smiling, the fact that I was going to be a father of the child born of the girl I love was/is invigorating. It made me so happy. So what bothered me? It was the fact that Yori was going through a change- just like the baby (but not as fast) - and this change was defiantly not one classified by the changes that occur from the bite of a pure blooded vampire's bite but by something entirely different. This change was being caused by her own blood, and that fact alone scared me (Wow, tonight there seems to be alot of things/facts that are scaring me...how funny, and rare.). Even thought this scared me, none of it was really processing through my head.
I handed the book (that I just realized I have been holding tightly in my hand as if my life depended on this single book.) over to Kaname.
"It's Yori's family tree-"
"I know" Kaname said cutting me off.
He stood up and walked over to his desk, over by the book shelf, and place the book on top of it. He sat down.
"Take a seat Aidou, we have much to discuss and only a little time." He said
I nodded, and sat across from him.
When I sat down Kaname nodded, and quickly glances at the cover of Yori's family tree. Imprinted in the genuine (black) leather was the title, "The Wakaba's family tree, presented to Sayori Wakaba, on her first day at cross academy." This was imprinted in gold leaf. On the bottom corner of the book there was a single small leaf (also imprinted in gold leaf).
"If am correct you want to know of Yori's ancestry."
I nodded.
Kaname just smiled (a smile that did not reach his eyes).
"First things first Sayori's surname- Wakaba, means Young leaves. Her last name has a great significance to what you are looking for. Understanding that is the first aspect. Second aspect is the history."
He looked at me to make sure I was following.
I nodded.
"Am I correct to understand that you are familiar of the Ochiba pure blooded vampire clan...or what's left of it."
I nodded again, recalling that there were only three true pure blood left in that clan because all married lower level vampires (nobles). Of the three remaining two were really, really old (like on their death bed old) and the other (a girl) about ten her parents were killed a couple of years ago while in battle.
"Good, so on with the history, Ochiba means fallen leaves. Ochiba however was not their original last name."
He looked at me again
"Ok, then what was their original last name?" I asked
Kaname smiled.
"Only a few know this, and those who do rarely talk about it, especially those of the Ochiba clan. However judging by the current...situations. It is quite critical that you under stand this. The Ochiba's last name was originally Wakaba."
My eyes widened slightly at this.
Kaname just nodded.'
"As you should know it is VERY rare for a pure blood clan-for any high class clan-to change their last name. A vampire's family name, is usually their title, their pride and their joy and they always bore it proudly. However, circumstances changed this for the Ochiba's. They became so devastated that they changed their name to not only hide their past but also the truth. This all happened about four maybe five generations-in vampire time-ago. The head of the clan Ochiba's- at that time Wakaba- only male heir betrayed them. He fell in love with a human. He didn't want to change the female because it would only make her his servant and it would have been really hard for their love to remain. But he didn't want to watch her grow old as he- as a vampire-aged very, very slowly. So he picked the next and final option. He changed him self into a human. His family was furious and disowned him, but he wouldn't give up his surname. He wanted at least on thing to be given to his future generations. Something that held deep secrets, secrets that dealt with his vampire past, heritage and history. Because his clan was so ashamed to of had their only male heir betray them. They changed their last name to Ochiba and altered all those of lower level's memories to make it seem that Ochiba was their original family name. They picked that last name as a symbolism of that "betrayal", the fall of their original pride, and the devastation that befell them...hence the reason why the name Ochiba means fallen leaves..."
"Are you still following?" he asked
Again I just nodded.
Kaname nodded in return and then resumed his story.
"As a result of changing himself into a human, the pure blood that flowed through his veins as a youth, remained, just locked away, hidden, hidden so well only a few were able to sense his pure blooded aura. For the many generations that followed his blood still remained strong in their veins. Always strong but never awakening, and getting stronger. Waiting, waiting for the day a Wakaba-Yori in this case-was reintroduced to the world of the vampire."
Kaname paused, looking at me to see if I was any bit lost. Then he continued.
"In reality-Aidou-Yori began changing 6 years ago. The day she met you, the day she was first introduced to the world of vampires."
"Any questions before I continue?"
"Um...yes actually, why is it that she started changing 6 years ago but isn`t changed yet?"
"I was just getting to that. The reason why she hasn`t changed yet was in order to keep it as inconspicuous as possible and cause her the least pain, the changes have been going at a really, really slow rate. However since the minute she got pregnant the changes have been going faster. Due to this she could be fully changed in between the next week and the next month, and no she won`t feel any pain trough this. The baby will sustain it, keep her unaware of the changes until she is almost or fully changed. One thing will be different than the ordinary change though. When her body has undergone all changes she and the baby will be pure blooded vampires. Even thought throughout all the human generations that past since Wakaba changed himself, the power stored in his original pure blood remained stored with his original blood, through out his numerous descendants. The baby is acting as a filter for her body. The baby being a vampire is drinking Yori`s human blood while her pure blood is replacing that human blood at the same pace. While Yori`s human blood is being replaced so is the baby`s."
"When Yori has fully changed she maybe more powerful than me because her family natural powers have been compressed for so long it will burst at first then will slow. When her power`s stabilized she will almost be as powerful as me. There may be a few other after effect`s from the power surge, but nothing bad, just makes sure she doesn`t bite any humans. Make sense? Any questions?"
My brain processed this surprisingly well and I felt calm, as if it were just any ordinary day...
"Make`s sense. Thank you Kaname-sama."
"`No problem, but Aidou, she must NOT find out until she becomes at least ¾ vampire, because I honestly have no idea what would happen if she accidently panics over this information before that point of her transformation, because at that point she will need (and be aware of her lust for) blood."
He slid Yori`s family tree back to me and told me that I should read it. Then with his permission I left. Before I got to the door he said-
"And Aidou if any of the night class gives you a hard time for damaging the main door and your behaviour after running in and up to my room, tell them to answer to me if they have any problems, and do NOT let any of them know about Yori`s situation. It would be so much better if Yori`s situation remains a secret for now."
I nodded and left the room. But instead of going down stairs to the main room/lounge (A/N I am not sure of what that room is called in the story so I`m sticking with main room or lounge for know) I went straight to my room, with the intention of reading Yori`s family tree and pondering over what I just learned, and it seemed I was right earlier some thing told in me was trying to tell me I was lying about Yori wasn`t entirely human, because Yori isn`t human but a pure blooded vampire undergoing the unusual changes from a human to its original state.

A/N. Wowthat took forever. But I'm glad it's out (can you believe it I over 4000 words [16 pages on word] for this chapter and that's including the A/N's). Now I can send my laptop in for repairs. So was it to much? Was it to romantic or anything along those lines? Did I have any one OOC (if so I hope it wasn't too much OC? Just so you know not all my chapter`s will be this long, some may even be really, really short. But because I did the prologue really long I felt obliged to do a long chapter, but I guess I got a little too over . I would really, really like for more people to review this time, and thought I hate to do this but I will most likely not update my next chapter until I get any feedback,. For those of you that did review/alert this story/or put it in their favourites list thank you so, so much. It was highly appreciated. And just so you know, I will be putting a this chapter is dedicated to list in most of my chapters as I did above, so if you do review or add it to your fav's or alert you will most likely find your Pen Name in that list. Until next time...hope you enjoyed the chapter.
