~Bloom's POV~

I was in the living room area of the mansion as I was laying down on the white couch watching TV. I decided to spend some quality time for myself, ever since I had my little Momo-chan. Momo-chan was such a precious treasure to me and my family. They wanted to spoil her rotten just like they did me and Yuie-chan.

I looked over to the bassinet as I hear my baby Momo-chan crying for attention. She was asleep for the forty five minutes, but now she wants to be hold once again. I sighed before dropped the TV remote on the coffee table as I slowly stood up from the couch and walked towards Momo-chan's white bassinet.

I cradle her close to my heart as I stopped crying look up at my loving eyes. Her blue eyes were staring at me, until she lifted up her arms and a cute little smile was placed on her cute face. My little Momo-chan was just only two months old now and she loves being in my arms more than anyone else.

"Aww, did you you have a good sleep, Momo-chan?" I asked her softly before walking back over to the couch and lie her down on his pillow that was perfect for babies to be rested on while breastfeeding.

Suddenly, I heard the phone ringing in the hallway that was close to the living room area. I slowly stood up until I heard Akira-chan yelling out to me that she will answer it, since she was outside the kitchen dusting off the family pictures.

"Bloom-sama," Akira-chan said my name's before I turned around to her with the phone in her left hand. "It's for you,"

"Who is it?" I asked.

She shook her head. "I can't say, Bloom-sama,"

Why she couldn't tell me the name of the person who was asking for me. So, I taken the phone from her hand and held close to my ear.

"Hello, Sakurakoji residence, Bloom Sakurakoji speaking," I greeted on the phone, until I hear someone breathing heavily on the other end. I taken the phone off my ear and looked at the caller ID and it showed my godfather's house number. I placed it back on my ear once more.

"Hello?"

"I miss you, my dear rose,"

It was Kaname's voice on the other end of the phone. I was shocked when I heard his voice. I almost dropped Momo-chan half empty bottle of honey milk on the floor, but I immediately grabbed it just in time, before my baby even had the chance to cry. He was calling me. My ex-fiancce and father of my child was calling me. But why?

I immediately hanged up the phone and handed back to Akira-chan.

"Might I ask who was it calling for you?" Akira-chan asked me.

"Kaname,"

"Well, what does he want, Bloom-sama?" Akira-chan asked me.

I sighed before looking back at my baby. "Nothing, I hanged up, before he had to say anything, Akira-chan." I looked up at the red haired maid, as she still held the phone in her hands. "If he calls back, tell him I'm not available to talk,"

"Yes, Bloom-sama," she bobbed her head before walking out of the living room area.


~Kaname's POV~

I was looking at the Headmaster's house phone when I heard the disconnected tone. Bloom hanged up on me. Was she still mad at me? Or was she… dating her brother known as Rido's first born? All of the anger was boiling in my skin as I crushed the phone into pieces, until all of the pieces were dropped on the floor. I looked down at the mess I made, until I decide to figure out what is going with Bloom myself.

I immediately ran down the hallway towards the stairs of Headmaster's house. I climbed down the stairs to reach the bottom of them, until I grabbed the door handle before I heard my dear Yuki calling for me.

"Kaname-onii-sama, where are you going?"

That was the question that she always asked me. Sometimes I wished that Yuki can mind her own business and stay out of my way, but I can't she's my sister that I love dearly. Just like I love Bloom dearly.

"I have to run an errand," I replied without looking at her. "I'll return soon,"

Once I turned the knob, she grabbed my wrist before I turned around to face her. Her concerned eyes were looking at me as she was worried about me.

"Are you going to see someone?" Yuki asked me.

"Maybe," I replied. "But I have to leave now,"

Yuki had that worried look on her face as she watched me leave out of Headmaster's house. But there was something wrong with my dear rose, so I just left Yuki there without saying goodbye. Now I was on my way to my dear rose's mansion in the Sakurakoji woods.


~Bloom's POV~

"What?! Kaname called us?" My father's voice was heard. I was still in the living room area since now my mother and father had returned from the small town not far from the woods. I watching Yuie-chan playing with Momo-chan, while she was holding her in her arms.

I heard footsteps coming closer to the living room area. It was my father Sora coming closer. I was nervous about what was he going to say about Kaname calling the Sakurakoji Manor. He specifically told Kaname to leave me alone for awhile, but somehow he didn't get the message.

He made it to the living room area and noticed me. He told me to follow him as he walked into the lounge room where my mother and Akira-chan was. I sat down on the couch in front of them and my father sat down on the other couch facing me.

"Bloom, we heard about Kaname calling here," My mother stated as I wasn't looking at her emerald green eyes.

"And it seems that he wanted you back into his life, since you left him back at the academy with your godfather, your cousin Yuki, and your vampire hunter friend," My father stated as well, before I started looking up at both of my parents with clasped hands on my lap.

"Are you asking if I want him back in my life?" I asked my parents so suddenly, until I felt my brother Akihiko's presence at the door and I turned around to see him under the doorframe, before he walked in with cross arms.

"That better not be true," Akihiko said to me narrowing his green eyes towards me. "We don't want Kaname to know about Momo-chan. He could use his own child and kill her for her own blood."

"Akihiko Kuran," My mother stood up as she hissed at my older brother for criticizing my ex-fiancce. "How could you say that about him?"

"Because, I'm defending my family's name and I'm protecting Bloom and Momo-chan from him,"

"How are you defending our name, since you haven't done a good thing so far?" My father stood up as he asked his adopted son the question.

Somehow it turned out to be a heated battle against our parents. But I was caught in the middle of it as it sat down on the couch quietly hoping that someone could noticed me and stop arguing. So, I decided to leave along with Akira-chan leaving my parents and brother alone in the lounge room.

"I'm sorry, Bloom-sama, that you have to be in the middle of that," Akira-chan deeply apologized to me. She hasn't done anything wrong. Why would she apologized to me? I smiled at her, before speaking.

"Akira-chan, there is nothing to apologize about," I said to her as she looked at me confused. "Akihiko-onii-sama is always like this,"

Akira-chan had a small smile on her face, before she looked at me. Suddenly, I felt a strange but familiar presence coming closer. It was coming towards the mansion. Somehow, I recognize that presence from somewhere, but who was it?

Kaname…

My eyes widened as I ran towards the living room area leaving Akira-chan in the hallway. She followed me as I pulled out Kurai Hono from underneath the couch. It wasn't a good hiding place, but it was there for now.

"Bloom-sama, what is that matter?" Akira-chan asked me, since she finally catched up with me.

"Someone is coming to mansion and they were uninvited," I said as I slowly pulled out Kurai Hono and the blue flames surrounded my body once again. I missed this feeling of having father's deadly flames around my body again. I placed the sword back into it's strap, before putting it behind my back, leaving the living room area.

"Shall I inform your parents?" Akira-chan asked me, as I ran towards the foyer of the mansion, holding onto the doorknob.

"No, I want to be alone for now," I walked outside and ran into the woods to meet up with my ex-fiancce, or better known as my cousin and father to his two month old daughter, Momo-chan.


~Kaname's POV~

I started walking towards Sakurakoji woods. It's been so long since my dear rose and I walked in these woods together when we were just children. We always played in these woods whenever our parents weren't looking. So many memories have passed after walking around the woods. I knew that I was getting closer to Sakurakoji Manor, because I feel someone coming closer to me as I can hear footsteps running towards me.

"Who are you?" I heard a voice from afar. I looked to see a shadow and it was pureblood princess shadow, by the way that girl's long flowing hair dancing in the wind.

"I miss you," I said softly as I walked towards the shadow.

"Get back or taste the deadly flames of the Sakurakoji clan!" the shadow started walking towards me as I stopped to see her up close.

It was her. My dear rose. Bloom Rosalie Sakurakoji, my beautiful cousin and also my fiancee.

She suddenly stopped and looked at me.

"Bloom," I said surprised. She looked different after a whole year. Her long pink hair was knee length. Her skin was paler. And her body looked different like she was training with her father.

"Kana-" I suddenly stopped her as I wrapped my arms around her small body, burying my face into the crook of her neck, smelling the sweet cherry blossom and vanilla scent in her hair. She smelled so beautiful and I wanted her back in my life.

"Hey, get off me," She pushed me back as I was walk a few step back. She wasn't happy to see me after so long? Why my dear rose, why?

"You need to leave," she told me while narrowing her eyes at me.

"Why should I?" I asked. "I just wanted to see how were you doing,"

She crossed her arms while still looking at me. "I'm fine, but you're not welcome here, Kaname Kuran,"

"But, Bloom-"

"Why can't you understand, Kaname?!" She yelled at me. "I have been just fine for the past year. I have my wish now. I don't know if I want to be with you, after what happened last year at the academy. I never wanted you after that. I regret making love to you the second time, but the first time… was something else… Please… go away… don't come back… I don't want you anymore,"

I was shocked by her every word. She was still furious with me after revealing my true self to her. She didn't know what to say after that. She slowly back away from me and started running away from back to the Sakurakoji Manor. I can hear and smell her tears as she cried her beautiful blue eyes out. I was still devastated by the way she yelled at me, but I want to know what's been going on for the past year.

So I decided to stay behind and wait until nightfall.

I watched Bloom's bedroom light turned off as I walked towards the vine to climb up to her balcony. It was hard for me to climb up the vines, since they were close to the mansion walls. As I finally made it to the balcony without the vines alerting Bloom that I was climbing onto them.

I slowly opened the balcony doors to her bedroom as it let in a cool night breeze. I watched her from afar covering herself with the white comforter. I walked towards her bed, before sitting down next to sleeping form. I gazed at her beauty before touching her long pink lock. I placed one of them under my nose as I smelled her beautiful scent.

Oh, my dear rose. I missed you so much.

Then I suddenly heard something from behind me. I turned around to see a crib. I was confused for a second, as I slowly stood up from the bed and walked towards it. Once I looked inside the crib, I noticed a small baby covered with a blue blanket. Was it a real baby, I wonder? I reached my hand out to touch the baby's forehead and suddenly it opened it's eyes.

I couldn't believe it. It was real baby. Bloom had a baby without me knowing. But there was one question, was it my child?

I looked down at the baby once more until it started looking at me confused before squinting its eyes, as it slowly started to cry out loud. The baby was crying out for Bloom. I was wide-eyed for a second until I turn my head around to see Bloom slowly getting up out of the bed and I immediately left out of the bedroom, still on her balcony hiding away from her.


~Bloom's POV~

I was slowly getting up out of my bed as I was having a peaceful sleep. I heard my baby crying out for help. Once I open my eyes, I can see that the balcony doors were wide open, so walked towards them and closed them. Maybe she was cold.

I looked into the crib to see her still crying as I reached out for her small body and lifted her up. I walked towards the rocking chair and sat down in it, as I looked down at my Momo-chan.

"Aww, what's wrong, Momo-chan?"

"Momo," I heard a voice from outside, as I turned around to see who it was. Maybe it was just my mind playing with me or maybe the wind. I looked down at my crying baby. How can I get this baby to fall asleep once more, until morning?

I know the answer. I'll sing to her a soft lullaby from the heart.

I started rocking my baby slowly while looking down at her.

Haru ni saku hana
Natsu hirogaru sora yo
Kokoro no naka ni
Kizamarete kirameku

Asa ni furu ame
Mado o tozasu hi ni mo
Mune ni afureru hikari wa
Kumo no ue

My baby stopped crying and she looked at me.

Yorokobi kanashimi
Subete idaite aruite iru
Watashi no te to
Kimi no te o
Tsuyoku tsunagu mono

Aki wa mizube ni
Fuyu kozue ni hisomu
Sekai no oku no
Kagirinai yasashisa

Yoru ga kuru tabi
Inori o sasageyou
Ashita kuru hi o
Shizuka ni mukaeyou

My baby's big blue eyes started to slowly close as she loved the soft melody that she's hearing.

Watashi o michibiku
Tooi tooi yobigoe yo
Hohoemu you ni
Utau you ni
Hibiku kaze no oto

Yorokobi kanashimi
Subete idaite aruite iru
Watashi no te to
Kimi no te o
Tsuyoku tsunagu mono

My baby was snuggled against me as she finally went to sleep. She loved the song. I remember that song when my grandmother Shizuka Hio sang it to me when I was a baby and I still remember it as I grow. I love my sweet little baby so much. There was so many memories that I have kept to my heart. It was mostly bittersweet to me. But my little baby was a Bittersweet Blessing.


~Kaname's POV~

That beautiful voice. That sweet beautiful voice was her. Bloom was singing to that little baby. Momo, was that her name? My own cousin had a baby and she never told me about her… But there was a question running through my mind. Is she mine or Rido's son, Akihiko which I hate so much.

My beautiful rose has finally moved on and left me behind. Looking at her, was so sweet but it was also melancholy to me.

This was bittersweet to me.

It was her Bittersweet Blessing.

Her baby Momo is her Bittersweet Blessing.

END


Finally! I haven't forgotten about this story, but it was hard for me to think about the last chapter. But somehow I managed to finished it. The lullaby song that Bloom was singing came from an anime called Kobato and I will be using it again in the original story.
