Chapter 3: Yearning for warmth
Kaname:
Staring at nothing I sat there. I have an awful feeling I fear something bad is upon me.
"What is it with you lately? You look so gloomy" Takuma exclaimed and stared at me concerned.
"Are you feeling well Lord Kaname?" all the nobles as if woke up from a dazed rushed to my side and started blabbering on some news they heard.
Socialize…that's my purpose! I left Yuuki home because being with her would've distracted me from showing affection to other people.
If I was not going to socialize I would have brought her with me and then I had something to do.
I can't shake this bad feeling off…I think I'll get home early, yeah I should check out on Yuuki anyways. She's probably hungry by now.
"Takuma…can you get me a car ready?" I stated. Takuma nodded and rushed off as I enjoyed my last glass of blood.
I bid farewell to a group of some powerful nobles and walked away.
Outside the air was cool and my skin gave a little twitch of distain…it was the same chilling coolness of the night when Yuuki forgot herself and her parents died.
I entered the car and leaned against the window. What a boring party that was, but I need to regain my name in high society…it's important I stand out and take over as king.
Being so deep in though, I didn't notice the feeling of emptiness and the lonely mansion in front of me.
Something is lacking from the air…what is it? Yuuki…I can't feel her presence but I can smell her blood.
Deep crimson drops of blood covered the snow by the mansion. I tried keeping my composure but before I even had time to think my body acted on its own and ran into the mansion.
When I reached the interior of our living room I heard worried voices. "I don't understand…why would anyone try to kidnap her from her own room? Why go to this extreme?" Souen Ruka said.
"What I want to know is how they got in! And why you were in the parlor eating cake and not guarding the Kuran princess, Eh?" Akatsuki Kain hissed angrily.
I took a wary step towards them "Lord Kaname!" they all gasped. "Is what I heard true? Was Yuuki abducted?" Anger climbed into my voice and I knew my eyes were turning red…so much for my composure.
"I'm sorry Lord Kaname, It happened on my watch Cross Y…Err, I mean Lady Yuuki told me I could go to the parlor so I overlooked the possibility of danger and stupidly agreed" Hanabusa Aido stepped fourth eyes falling to the ground.
How could he value cake over Yuuki? Is he sane? She's my sister…daughter of Kuran's of course she'd be targeted.
I felt the urge to slap him…no kill him twist his heart out with my bare hands but he seemed to feel bad enough alone so I left him be.
"Have you found any clues leading to the culprit?" I clenched my fists and stared at all of my most trusted people…I cannot lose my composure, I have to plan my moves well.
"No…that's the mystery of it all they left us nothing not even an essence of their presence" Aido muttered nervously staring at me occasionally to see how angry I am with him.
Anger…I could feel it taking over me, before I even had a chance to calm it down three glass vases exploded with a piercing sound Aido and Ruka shrunk with fear of me.
I turned around to them and smiled holding all my anger with everything I've got. "I fear I need your help in tracking my sister and destroying who ever had the guts to challenge me…Kuran Kaname."
