Yay, two chapters of In This World Of Secrets in one day! Well, I hope you enjoy.
"Kaname, this is pointless. I can't get hold of him. His cell phone is off and has been for God knows how many years!" Yuuki yelled at her husband, she was sick of him telling her that she should keep ringing Zero and their daughter, even though the calls kept going to voice mail. "Why don't we just get out there and find Naomi and Zero?! It seems like a better idea, no?"
"Yuuki, darling. Please calm down, your shouting isn't going to help." Kaname sighed.
"Don't 'Yuuki darling' me! Why can't we just go?!"
"Yuuki, I told you we just can't go and do something rash. We've got to think this through, we don't know who Kiryuu's enemies are or, where they are. Then if we pressure Naomi, being like she is, will do something rash and the whole situation will be a lot worst than it is now."
"But I can't stand here and do nothing! She could be out there getting killed right now!" Yuuki choked a sob. She couldn't bear the idea that her baby girl was out in the world all alone with no one to look after her. Yuuki always knew that Naomi was good at looking after herself and the people around her, but she had never been away from her parents before.
"I know, I know. It's horrible, I hate it too, but it's the only thing we can do right now." Kaname wrapped his arms around his wife and started to caress her hair, he couldn't stand to watch her cry again.
Kaname's cell phone began to ring, he pulled it out of his trouser pocket with one hand while the other stayed around his lover, he recognised the caller, it was Seiren.
"Hello?" He spoke into his phone.
"Kaname sama have you been missing car?" The woman at the other end of the line asked.
"No, I don't think so. Why do you ask me?"
"Because I've just found one of your cars, it's the blue Porsche 911."
"Seiren, where is it?" Kaname new all to well that was Naomi's favourite car. Maybe this would give him some idea where she was or where she was heading.
"Outside Kiryuu Zero's house, it's been dumped. I'm there now, the engine is still slightly warm Naomi sama must be close to here."
"Thank you Seiren."
"No problem. What do you want to do with the car?"
"Can you tow it back over here?"
"Yes, of course."
"Thanks." The pureblood hung up on the other vampire.
Yuuki looked up to face her lover. "What is it?" She asked him.
"You know that Porsche Naomi is so attracted to? Well Seiren just found outside Kiryuu's house." Kaname answered.
"So, she does know." Yuuki choked another sob.
"Looks like it. Yuuki, I want to stay here, okay?"
"Why, what's happening?"
"I'm going to go after her. The engine is still warm, she's not faraway."
"I'm not staying here! And wasn't it you that said we shouldn't do anything rash?!"
"I know what I said, and I'm being a hypocrite. But she's so close. I have to find her. But you have got to stay here, I can't have the two of you in danger, can I?"
"No, but-" She was cut of by her husband.
"No 'buts' Yuuki, promise me you will stay here."
"Fine I'll stay here, okay? But you have to keep me informed about what's going on."
"It's a deal." Kaname pulled her closer into his chest and whispered in her ear. "I love you."
Yuuki broke the hug they were sharing and kissed her lover on the lips lightly, then said. "I love you too. Take care."
Kaname put on his coat and began to walk out of their home, he turned to around and took a look at his wife. "I will." He gave her a short sad smile, then grabbed the piece of paper that was pinned to the door. "Isn't that what we were looking for earlier?" He handed her the note that he had wrote on only several hours ago, it was the one with his name written on. Next Kaname shut the door behind him.
Quickly, Yuuki started to punch it Zero's cell phone number into her phone, hoping that he would answer. Please, please pick up! She thought.

She sat on the bench on the train station, it was cold and beginning to rain. Naomi had already bought a map at the station, she new where she was going. There would have to be a hour long train ride, then she would have to catch another train that would last around two and a half hours if everything went well, she would have to walk the rest as taxi's were to expensive and there was no buses heading were she wanted to go.
Naomi tied her long sliver hair back in a bun to make her self even less inconspicuous. Though she still looked like a teenager trying to run away from home due to the size of her large rucksack she was carrying, it contained: a spare set of clothes with a few extra pairs of socks and underwear, some painkillers, band aids, bandages, a small glass bottle of antiseptic enough canned food to last her a few days, a steel spoon, fork and pan, a sleeping bag and small one man tent.
There was blond human young man a few years older then her sitting next to her alone, he too, looked like he was running away from home.
"Where's your parents?" The blond asked Naomi nicely.
"At home." She replied.
"Ah, you're running away, aren't you?"
"Not quite."
"Then what are you doing here looking like you sucked a lemon?"
"It's complicated. Why are you here anyway?"
"Running away, sort of." The boy shrugged.
"How can you sort of runaway?"
"Well, I've lived with my dad most of my life, but now he has a new girlfriend and I really don't like her. The my dad spends all his time on her. So I'm moving in with my mum who lives just out of town."
"So your parents are divorced?"
"No they were never married, they just simply split up." He made it sound so easy.
"Does your mum know that your coming to live with her?"
"Not yet." The blond laughed.
"Wouldn't your dad be upset if you just disappeared and lived with you mum?
"Doubt it. He has her now." He changed the subject to a different matter. "Hay, you still haven't told me why your here."
"It really is complicated."
"Come on then, I like a good story. We've got plenty of time to burn anyway."
"I lived with my mum and dad, but last night they had an argument about my real dad, and I over heard."
"So the person you thought was your dad, isn't you real dad."
"Yeah. Anyway I found out who my real dad was, and I'm going after him now."
"Does he know about you?"
"No, I don't think so."
"Ouch. So your parents lied to you all this time and didn't tell him?"
"I suppose so."
"But wouldn't they be upset if you just disappeared and lived with your biological dad?"
"Yeah they will get upset, and I don't know if I will live with my biological dad – I'll just have to wait and see how things turn out." Really, she had no plan of what she would do after she had met Zero, I suppose it was really one of those things were you had to see what happened next to make the next move.
"Sorry, I never introduced myself, I'm Kirihara Tamaki."
"I'm Kiryuu Naomi. Pleased to meet you." She didn't know which of her family names were less conspicuous.
"Isn't Kiryuu that guy that's real, but all those writers who write spy-actions about him?"
"That's Kiryuu Zero. There's no way I'm related to him." She lied out of her teeth.
"Anyway, it is a cool name."
Naomi watched as the train she needed to catch stopped at the platform. "Thanks. Well, this is my train. It was nice to meet you."
"It was nice meeting you too, and good luck."
"Good luck to you too."
Naomi took a seat next to a window and watched the blond boy she had been talking to just a moment ago. He was one of the first ever people she talked to part from her parents. When the train set off, Tamaki waved her good bye, she smiled and waved back at him.

By the time Kaname had reached the train station it was too late the train which was carrying Naomi had already gone. He had 'felt' her here only moments ago, though he picked up her scent on a bench where a blond school boy was sitting. Slowly, he went up to the boy and asked him. "Did you see a girl, she's very pretty, long sliver hair and lavender eyes?"
"She just left on that train." Tamaki answered.
Shit. "Do you know where she going?"
"No, she never said. But I'll tell you what."
"What?"
"You shouldn't of lied to her."
"I know." The pureblood turned and started to walk away. I know...
