We were finishing up our final course of blue berries and ice cream when I remembered to ask "how was the meeting?"

The room suddenly filled with a tense atmosphere. Kaname looked at me seriously. He got up and came over to m y side of the table. I looked up at him. What happened Kaname?" I whispered.

He took my hand, brung it to his face. Yuuki, h said, closing his yes. We need to talk.

He led me out to the living room. Ohh nooo. I thought. He doesn't love me anymore. He wants me to g away. He stood silently looking at the fire. I took this opportunity to put my two bits in.

"I'm sorry Kaname! I didn't mean to upset you! Please don't get rid of me. Please let me stay here and love you! I wont-"

"Yuuki!" Kaname said alarmed.

"I never meant anything like that. Calm down," He said as he gently pushed me into a couch by the fireplace. "Now listen to me completely before you make any weird presumptions again ok?"

I nodded.

"Yuuki…I know you're not used to these kind of things, but the senate…he trailed of, looking down at his feet.

When he didn't finish, I prodded: "The senate what Kaname?"

He let out a tortured sigh before continuing, "the senate wants you to lead the next meeting."

I jumped up. "WAIT WHAT! Kaname! You're much more suitable for that than I? I never-"He put a hand to silence me. "As I said, let me finish Yuuki, sit down."

I took a seat, and he continued.

"As you know, I'm sure, many people revere you as the lost Kuran-clan princess. This is fine and all, but they wonder why you are not taking a stand to lead. The Senate is starting to wonder whether you really are part of the Kuran Clan and not an imposter. So they want you to lead their next meeting."

"Well ok that makes sense, Kaname, but that still doesn't change the fact that I DON'T KNOW HOW."

"Relax Yuuki, I've hired two mentors to teach you the ropes. No one is expecting something amazing out of you immediately. Think of this as a test of your early abilities. You don't have to be the best right now. Plus you have me to teach you. Don't worry."

"Easier said than done" Yuuki said irritably.

He smiled. "the meeting will be next month. You're mentor will start coming tomorrow.

"Who are they?" Yuuki inquired.

Kaname gave Yuuki a mysterious smile. "That you will see tomorrow my dear. Now go to bed. It'll be a tiring day for you tomorrow.""And how about you Kaname oni-sama, won't it be tiring for you as well? Asked Yuuki, annoyed at being treated like a child.

"Yes, but I've still got some paperwork to read and sign. The usual"

"When I learn how to run things, I'll definitely help oni-sama. Then you'll be able to go to bed early too." Said Yuuki, feeling slightly guilty. "I'm sorry I'm off no help right now. But just wait. I'll definitely learn quickly Kaname.""I'm sure you will Yuuki, and I'm looking forward to the day we can do this work together. But for now you aren't ready. So go to bed."

"Fineeee," Yuuki sighed in defeat.
