They were agape.

On the ground lay a shattered vase filled with a red substance, which caused a dry feeling in Yuuki's throat.

It was blood that was stained on the carpet allowing, once more, for Yuuki to become thirsty again. Averting her gaze she tried to distract herself from the scent that made her burn all over.

"Kaname-sama," The boy said again as though in shock. "…Is that really you?" Quickly getting over the shock he spread his arms wide about to embrace the oldest pureblood but ended up tripping over his own feet.

….

Staring down at him Yuuki blinked at his sudden change of aura, as he was just about to embrace Kaname – her Kaname-sama.

"Nani wo shite iru?" She questioned her eyes half glaring in jokingly annoyance.

May the truth be told that she was quite irked by his sudden appearance just as she and Kaname were 'Bonding.' Plus she was still extremely hungry despite how much of Kanames' blood she had thieved.

Silence.

Suddenly remembering like she'd been hit with a ton of bricks, Yuuki exclaimed loudly, "Aido-senpai!"

Freeing herself out of Kanames' bridal style carrier she began to run forward but froze before she could reach her destination.

Yuuki and Kaname sat on the sofa; he was cradling her in his embrace.

"Mother is really angry…" Yuuki complained into Kanames' chest in fear. "Dad too…"

A jolt when through her body as she suddenly smelt the scent of blood that had made her hunger for it.

"I can smell lots of blood…" Tightening her hold on his shirt she began to sob, "Besides, something scary is coming."

Without looking at his younger sister he gave her reassuring words.

"It's OK because… I'm here, OK.

"But…!"

With shocked wide eyes Yuuki gripped even harder onto Kanames' shirt, the smell of the persons' blood was one she loved.

"The smell of Father's blood…"

Petting the top of her head Kaname hug her close and she began to get more and more scared.

"I'm sorry for giving you scary thoughts…"

Burying his head into Yuuki's ' he murmured;

"When I'm happy, I may get a little intoxicated …but I've already decided I'm definitely going to make sure so that when Yuuki is scared I will always be there wherever you are."

"Kaname, Yuuki."

Turning there heads both Yuuki and Kaname came to find Juuri standing in the doorframe.

"Mother…!" They both exclaimed.

Jumping up and out of Kanames' embrace Yuuki tugged at her mother's dress as though impatient.

"Mother!" Yuuki moaned as though she were spelling out the letters. "Where's Father?!"

Ignoring her youngest child Juuri looked at her son.

"Take care of Yuuki…"

With his gaze averted from Juuri, Kaname spoke in a mere quiet tone.

"Excuse me, about Rido… If I won't be able to finish him off, it couldn't be helped…"

"Kaname."

Without heeding a warning Juuri kissed her son on the cheek in which returned had surprised him.

Staring at him with soft eyes that looked as though they were about to well up with tears Juuri smiled.

"Please take care of Yuuki from now on, OK…"

Leaning herself away she finished with, "Thank you…"

Turning her back on Kaname, Juuri walked back into the room she had entered out of in which she had Yuuki in hand, too.

Holding her hand out to Kaname Yuuki cried with tears in her eyes, "Kaname… Onii-sama…!"

Hovering above Yuuki, Juuri began her "Spell."

"Yuuki…I'm going to put the part of you that has anything to do with Vampires, asleep. You'll be just a normal "Human."

Struggling against the hold of her mother Yuuki still tried to reach out to Kaname in the next room.

"Mother, Onii-sama is!"

Sobbing in Juuri's embrace Yuuki remained to struggle to free herself.

"Something scary is coming from outside."

Beginning to talk to herself Juuri brushed aside what Yuuki had said.

"I'll have to put an end to this technique to make up for the fact that I can't be with you any longer, but your mother, you've made me extremely happy."

Holding back her tears Juuri continued.

"You can do whatever you decide to do. I don't resent that. I would like to be able to do that but…"

Blood fell on her face as Yuuki widened her eyes.

"Mo…ther…?"

The blood continued to pour.

"Yes…but the next time you wake up, you won't remember anything."

"Mo…ther?" Yuuki whispered as hand covered her mouth.

Kaname remained emotionless despite the fact that he knew how much pain she felt at this moment in time.

A scream entered out of her mouth just as her eyes lost their colour and she collapsed only to be supported by the hands of Hanabusa Aido.

With a saddened gaze he looked at Kaname.

"That memory was too much for her to handle."

Kaname walked forward, ignoring the new comer and sighed in sadness.

"Clearly."

The night came at long last as Kaname sat next to Yuuki in her unconscious state. Indeed she looked traumatized exactly as it should be. Although, seeing Yuuki like this made him remember the times he came to visit her when she was bound by her cursed human form.

The door knocked.

"Come in," Kaname said, allowing access.

Yukito entered with a neutral expression plastered on his face, staring down at Yuuki.

"It's been a while." He muttered.

Kaname remained staring at Yuuki.

"It was a one time thing, Yukito." Kaname replied in an even tone.

"Of course." Yukito mumbled to himself sarcastically.

Before the two could finish there conversation Yuuki's eyes fluttered open, closed and then opened again. The first person she saw hovering over her was Kaname.

"Onii-sama." Yuuki smiled at just seeing the sight of him. "I had the most scariest dream."

As she turned her head she saw another presence.

"Who, may I ask, are you?" Yuuki asked, her brow half furrowed.

With a bow, Yukito smiled at her; it did not, in any way, make her swoon as he expected it to.

"Pardon my intrusion but I am Yukito. Yukito Hito. So you are the treasured beauty that has been hiding from all of us?"

Ignoring his attempt at flattery Yuuki nodded her head.

"You could say that."

With a grin Yukito cleared his throat.

"Well, I hope you are feeling better because I shall be hoping to see you at dinner in about an hour. Be ready or punishment will be heading your way."

And with that he left.

What's he up to?
