Another chapter! *gasp* Don't get too used to it, though xD These are chapters I had already written, I just needed to tweak them a bit.
My writing is so messy o.o and right now I'm feeling so inspired to write because of all your wonderful comments x333

This is a short one, and it kind of reveals some things that will be coming in next chapters. As I said at the beginning, this is an AU but still with most part of the manga (until chapter 23). Kaname was born from Haruka and Juri and Yuuki was born from a human family. I will also be writing a different version of Yuuki's lost past.

Chapter Three

Yuuki tilted her head to the side as she watched her room. Gifts were lying everywhere, covering most part of the floor and some were still stuffed in her closet.

There is always a part in every person that loves being the center of attention, some are stronger than others, and right now that part inside of Yuuki was practically bouncing all around her head and having a party that made the girl smile and blush as she kept looking at all the presents, most of which were still wrapped up.

Her room smelled beautifully thanks to the abundant flowers decorating it. She loved how they brought life to her room. All those colors and shapes were truly beautiful.

Next to her bed laid a mountain of little boxes of sweets, a couple of which were already empty. After a few days, she just hadn't resisted the tempting sight of them just sitting there screaming for her to eat them. She had shared them with the chairman and Yori, and she had offered some to Zero, but he refused to eat them.

On top of those boxes, there were three even smaller boxes that contained a necklace, a pair of earrings and a bracelet.

Inside her closet, there were another three boxes, one had a beautiful white dress, and the other two boxes contained a pair of shoes and a small purse.

A beautiful complete outfit was the result of putting all of them together, and the small note in the girl's hands said that she were to wear it tonight.

Yuuki sighed as she brushed her still damp hair from the shower. She had intended to return these gifts back, but she didn't want to seem ungrateful and just show up tonight wearing something else, and it worried her that she could hurt the guy's feelings if she just threw back to him this wonderful outfit that he had chosen for her, or at least she guessed he had been the one to choose it. Besides, he wanted her to wear it tonight, so she might as well use it for the purpose it had been bought for.

Some months ago she had worn the dress Kaname had given her for the ball, and she hadn't had a problem with it, well, mostly because she had been too busy trying to get Kaname to talk about his possible knowledge about her past -which she still intended to keep on after all this passed- but this didn't feel the same and it made her a little bit uneasy.

Yuuki walked towards her bed and pulled a small black box from underneath it, holding it with care as she opened it.

Shortly after Kaname had been informed of the gifts that were being brought to her, the pureblood had shown up at her doorstep with a gift of his own. A beautiful and unique rose hardened in resin. He said it was a really rare kind of flower that only bloomed once every ten years. Yuuki could have fainted of happiness at that moment, and had thanked Kaname several times before inviting him in for some tea and another round of thanking.

Kaname could shower Yuuki with tons of gifts if he wanted to, and he wanted to, but Yuuki had insisted that it wasn't necessary and that she was deeply touched with him just suggesting it. And then Zero had warned him not to start anything with this guy, not until they knew for sure who he was or what his intentions were. If this guy wanted to win Yuuki's heart, knowing that Kaname had started giving her presents as well, it would start a war. They would both start sending gift after gift to Yuuki and neither would stop until they had drowned the poor girl in chocolate boxes and flowers. Of course, he knew Yuuki's heart wouldn't be won over like that, she wasn't that kind of girl, and so it would really be a waste of time and money.

There was a soft knocking and Yuuki quickly placed the flower back on the box and rushed to the door. She opened it a few inches and peeked outside to see who it was before opening it completely. Yuuki was surprised to see one of the guards of the gates of the school but not so surprised as he handed her an envelope with a rose carefully tied around it.

"I found it at the gates a moment ago with instructions of bringing it to you," the guard said after respectfully greeting her.

"Oh, thank you very much," Yuuki replied as she bowed to the man, "I'm sorry if it caused you any trouble."

"Not at all, miss" the guard said, softly smiling at her before tipping his hat to her "I'll be leaving now, have a nice day," he added before walking off.

Yuuki went back into the house and closed the door before quickly opening the envelope. This was the same kind of envelopes her secret admirer used on every letter he sent to her, so she had already guessed who it was from. It was pretty exciting every time she received something written, and it had become very fun, like a game where she received clues she needed to decipher.

'A car will pick you up at 19:30 and take you to The Red Carpet for our date. Be ready by then. I am really excited to see you.'

"But what if it takes you somewhere else? What if it's a trap?" Zero worried after reading the note. He had just gotten home and Yuuki had shown the note to him to let him know about it. Meeting at a restaurant with a lot of people around to watch them was one thing, but getting into a car with no guaranty that it would drive to the place it was supposed to, well that was different. Kaname was right behind him reading the short text over the hunter's shoulder.

Yuuki really enjoyed seeing these two standing so close without them pointing guns and throwing threats at each other. If nothing of this worked, she hoped that at least this would stay the same. She liked having her two favorite men finally realize that being near the other wasn't as bad as they always made it seem.

"Are you sure you want to do this, Yuuki?" Kaname asked her, a sweet and concerned tone in his voice. He was worried this could be some twisted plot to get to him, and he didn't want Yuuki to get hurt because of him. It was already becoming common knowledge that the pureblood held some affection for this girl and he didn't doubt someone could use it against him. If this was the case, Kaname would make sure heads rolled. "I could go in your place if you don't feel sure about this."

"That won't be necessary, Kaname-senpai" Yuuki assured him, a little blush painted across her cheeks at having both men hovering over her in worry. "I'll be fine, I actually came up with a plan if I see anything odd" She was not going to walk just like that into some stranger's car without precautions, especially not when these two's paranoia had rubbed a little on her.

"You are both on my speed dial, I'll have my phone in my hand the whole time I am in the car, if I see something is not going right, I will give you a call to let you know there is something suspicious," she explained as she held her phone to them.

"But what if there is no signal?" Kaname asked, trying not to voice the several possible flaws of Yuuki's little plan.

"Oh…I don't see any reason it would lose signal but…it's a good point" Yuuki sighed, sad that her idea hadn't stirred some calm on these two as she had hoped.

"We could go with you," Zero suggested "I mean, in the car, once we get there, we can escort you to the door and…go in with you, or wait outside…or leave if you don't want us there" The hunter would sill get in there and watch over Yuuki, but if there was a way to do it without going behind her back, it would make things a lot easier.

"We can drive right behind the car, just to know for sure it takes you where it should," Kaname added.

"Well… as long as it isn't a problem with you, Kaname-senpai," Yuuki brought her palms together in a pleading way and bowed a little to the pureblood, "If you drive behind the car that picks me up, that would be very reassuring" She thought it was a good idea and it would make her feel safe until she got to the restaurant.

"It would be my pleasure, after all, I'm just looking after my precious Yuuki," Kaname said, showing the girl a dazzling smile that would make any of the day class girls swoon. He was letting the guy have a date with her, but he wasn't letting him win her over. No matter who he was, he was not giving Yuuki to him. "We can also wait for you until you leave the place, so we know your return will also be a safe one." He didn't suggest going in with her because he knew she would be uncomfortable if she knew they were watching her, of course they were going to watch her, but she didn't know that.

Yuuki smiled shyly, "Thank you, Kaname-senpai, really. I will make it up to you afterwards," she assured him. She caught his gaze and almost bit her lip. She was going out with someone while she obviously still felt very strongly about this vampire, but she had no chance with him. Even if the pureblood showed interest in her, he couldn't be with a human. She knew everyone in the vampire society expected him to marry another pureblood, and being with a human wouldn't do him good. She had accepted that during these past days, and maybe this was the chance life had given her to follow a more possible and less painful path for her and for Kaname.

She took a deep breath, holding back a small tear that had started forming in her eye. She suddenly felt as if she was saying goodbye to her hopes with Kaname. And maybe she was, maybe this was where it all ended for them, when she finally accepted this beautiful pureblood was completely out of her reach. This was the time when she would stop trying to reach for his love and would only continue to hold unto him as a dear, dear friend.

Kaname was surprised when Yuuki suddenly threw herself to him in a tight hug, but he remained calm as he hugged her back, almost cradling her. He wasn't sure what had brought this up, but he was glad. It had been quite long since she had hugged him like this and it had made him wonder if he had done something wrong, but now it seemed everything was okay and he was very happy.

Zero was getting really uncomfortable now. These two had been hugging each other for what felt like hours.

He had seen something flicker in Yuuki's eyes before she had embraced the pureblood and he was a little worried, so he had given them their private moment and let her hold the vampire, as much as that bothered him. But now…

"Yeah, I'm still here," he finally mumbled, breaking the silence that had fallen over the house.

Kaname almost groaned when Yuuki pulled back, taking all the warmth of the hug with her but leaving just a faint scent of her in his shirt. He was not going to wash it until her scent disappeared completely from it. Was that crazy?

"Sorry," Yuuki apologized, a shy smile and a blush adorning her face.

"It's alright," Kaname smiled, reaching for a small strand of Yuuki's hair and curling I around his finger before letting it fall back in place, earning another little blush from the girl.

"That's it, then," Zero said, trying to avoid another awkward scene, "We'll drive right behind you and wait for you outside the place."

"Yes," Kaname nodded, "We'll be right there if you need us, Yuuki."

"Thank you," Yuuki smiled at them, really appreciating what they were doing but wishing they wouldn't be taking such bother for her sake, after all, she knew well how to defend herself.

"Well, I better go, I have some matters to attend to before leaving tonight," Kaname said, opening the door and stepping outside, "I'll be here at 7, and Yuuki…I think it would be good if you take Artemis with you" She easily carried it under her uniform skirt, she could carry it under whatever she wore tonight and it would be even more reassuring for him, even when he was going to be watching over her himself.

"I will," Yuuki nodded, it was more to reassure the pureblood that she would be alright, but it would actually be a nice idea. You never knew.

"Right, I'll be going now," Kaname bowed his head at them both before walking off. Once he was at a safe distance from the house, he called Seiren and the vampire was suddenly quietly following him. "Have you got the reservations?"

"Yes, Kaname-sama," Seiren answered, her steps making no sound as she followed the pureblood.

"Thank you, Seiren" Kaname smiled, finally reaching the Mood Dorms. "Have the car ready for tonight, and I want you to be the one driving, I might need your assistance." His drivers were excellent, but he much preferred Seiren drive this time, her perfect efficiency would be perfect for tonight. If everything went well, once Yuuki left the restaurant, both he and Zero had to rush back to the car and make it seem like they had been outside all along. Seiren already knew this and she would have everything in order and well planned out, even if things went differently from the original plan.

Kaname entered his room and closed the curtains, making the whole room turn dark. Everyone was asleep right now, and he felt a little tired for being the only one not doing so, but he hadn't been able to sleep lately. Too many things filled his mind when he tried to sleep.

One of them was that just a few days ago, Yuuki had started asking questions about her past.

Kaname knew well this day would come and he feared it, because it wouldn't only bring bad memories back to her, but would definitely change the way she saw him.

She had always thought that the person who had saved her from that Level E years ago had been him, but he hadn't. He had been in his mother's arms that night, oblivious to what was happening outside. He had been just a small child who knew nothing of the outside world.

Yuuki had been brought home that day, all covered in blood and peacefully sleeping in the man's arms. Yuuki's memories had been affected years after that and they would constantly try to resurface, but in the wrong order. Kaname had never saved her from an E, it had been another person, and that person was now dead.

Kaname fetched his phone out of his pocket and quickly scanned the screen until the name he was looking for showed up. He hesitated. It had been months since he last called her, and he wanted so much to visit her, but he had decided some time ago not to get near her for her sake, not until her mind was at complete ease from her loss. He was extremely thankful that Cross took the time to visit her everyday when he couldn't.

He had meant to call her some weeks ago but recent events had prevented him to do so, and now he was excited. He loved talking to her, he always had, and he missed her so terribly much.

Finally, Kaname pressed the call button. It rang a couple of times before a happy female voice chimed at the other end of the line. The voice of Juri Kuran.
