~Rido's Flash Back~

Rido smiled at his seventeen year old sister. She was beautiful in that long pink dress she was wearing, while her hair had been pulled down into a pony tail. The only off thing Rido saw was that Juri was frowning and playing with her hair.

"Why is mother making me dress up for this? Aren't I beautiful without a dress? I don't like this pony tail." She complained and got a snicker from her oldest brother.

"You aren't the only one that has to dress up, Juri. Haruka and I have to wear a dress suit." Rido smiled, spreading out his arms as if to prove his point. The young purblood girl sided and smiled.

"A tux is easier to wear than a dress; you can't run in it. Plus mother didn't make you do up your hair, Rido oinnsama." Juri pointed out and playfully poked her brother on his chest. The boy laughed softly and gently took the finger off of him.

"Don't complain, Juri. You look very beautiful tonight and it is only for one night." Rido pointed out with a light smile on his face.

"He's right, Juri. So stop complaining and just enjoy this night, OK?" Haruka Kuran, the middle Kuran child and now twenty two years old, smiled as he walked towards them, trying to fix his tie.

"Haruka." Juri said happily and rushed her youngest brother in a hug. The younger boy laughed and hugged back with a cheerful smile. Rido didn't bother holding in a glare with his mismatched eyes.

Ever since Juri had turned two years old, Rido had loved her and watched over her. He would try to spend as much time with her as he could. When she was still a baby he would help feed her and when she got her fangs, Rido let her drink from him when no one else was around.

Yet, after all he had done for her, she seemed to like Haruka better than me. Rido didn't understand why she didn't love him like she did his brother. His mother had once told him that ether he or Haruka would marry Juri one day and Rido wanted it to be him. Yet the chance of that was dim unless he was to make her love him.

"Haruka, you look handsome tonight." Juri commented with a wide smile, pulling herself away from the hug so she could look into her brother's face. Rido felt his jealousy swell deeper inside him.

'Why won't she tell me the same? Instead she complains to me how she looks. She takes his word over mine.' He thought to himself before faking a smile as his sister and brother looked his way.

"Well, should we get going; everyone is waiting for us." Rido asked his younger siblings. Juri and Haruka smiled and Juri took hold of Haruka's arm.

"Indeed they are; let's go now." Rido's younger brother agreed with him and started to walk away with Juri holding onto him.

With their backs against him Rido was about to scowl. Seeing them like this made him feel sick and angry. He felt amazed with himself that he had the control not to kill his brother out of jealousy. He had killed his own father after all so what was different about his brother? Nothing except that Haruka showed that he cared for Rido as children.

~Later~

Rido smirked to himself as he got an idea to get his sister away from his brother. To make this work he'd have to put on an act; make sure no one sees what he was really planning.

"Juri, there is something I need to tell you; privately." He informed his sister, who just finished a dance with a random noble boy. Haruka was dancing with a random noble girl; just to be nice. Juri nodded and excused herself from the noble.

"What do you want, Rido- Oinnsama?" Juri asked once she was alone with her brother in the garden.

"So seem pretty close with Haruka. It's sickening." Rido said, a hint of harshness in his voice as his back was turned to Juri.

"Rido? What are you talking about?" Juri asked, her confused voice sounding a bit frightened. Before she could even blink, Rido was gone and standing behind his sister, wrapping his arms tightly around her waist.

"Why do you never treat me the way you treat Haruka? What have I not done to make you happy?" Rido asked, his voice angry but also a hint of sadness in it. Juri was confused but it turned into shocked fear once she felt her oldest brother's fangs enter her neck.

"Rido, what are you doing?! Get off of me, stop it!" Juri shouted as she struggled, yet Rido only tightened his grip and continued to drink the blood he had been giving for years.

'Juri......' Rido thought as images of his brother came to his mind; images of the man Juri was in love with. 'Why...... why can't that be me? Why doesn't she love me the way I love her. WHY!' thoughts rolled through Rido's mind as he continued to drink.

"Haruka, Haruka, Haruka!!!" Juri started to call for the name of her true lover and it make Rido wince unnoticeable.

"Rido, what are you doing to Juri?! Stop!" Haruka shouted as he suddenly appeared in the garden with them. Without hesitation, Haruka yanked his older brother off his sister, his brown red eyes glowing a angry blood red.

"Haruka, Haruka!" Juri cried into her other brother's chest, obviously really frightened. Haruka and Rido glared at each other with the same red eyes.

"How dare you, Rido. Why hurt Juri like this; what has she ever done to you?" Haruka demanded as he watched the hatred grow in Rido's eyes.

"Besides loving you? Nothing of any sorts. I just wanted some satisfaction is all. She is just not yours to have." Rido growled as a evil smirk started to appear on his face. Haruka glared angrily and hugged Juri closer to him.

"Rido you bastard. Even if you are my older brother I will not let you hurt Juri again." Haruka stated threateningly. Rido smirked as he turned his back on his siblings swiftly.

"Enjoy your lives while you can, Haruka, Juri. I'll see you around." Rido through his head back to smirk evilly at the two, showing just how black his heart really was. Without another word, Rido walked away, leaving his sister crying and his brother glaring.

~End of Flash Back~

As Rido drank blood from his dear Asurin, he couldn't help but remember the night he ran away from home; the night he drank Juri's blood. She had been so scared and kept calling for Haruka. It had annoyed and hurt Rido a lot; hearing the woman you love crying out for another man. It wasn't what he had wanted her to do; what he wanted was to show Juri how much he loved her. Taking her blood was the first thing to come to his mind.

Yet, at this derect moment, Rido also couldn't help notice how Asurin moaned instead of cried out for someone else. It made the pureblood happy and able to drink a lot more calmly than he did to Juri. Rido Kuran, now eldest of the Kuran clan, never thought he'd of all vampires, would fall in love with a human. Even if that human really was a witch turned vampire.

"Asurin." Rido mumbled her name once he pulled his face away from her neck, licking it clean before his own lips.

"Yes, Rido?" The girl answered him and he looked into her face.

"Promise me you'll never leave me." He whispered, almost begged the girl as he lowered his face again, though this time to Asurin's lips. She didn't refuse his soft peck as she moan softly.

"I promise, Rido." The girl whispered back before Rido kissed her again. This time it was longer, deeper and full of passion.
