Blood Ties Chapter 4
Before the chapter begins, I just want to thank everyone who's reviewed and favourited this story, I couldn't ask for better readers. So, thank you! And, I hope you like this chapter.
Giggling could be heard from behind a tree and a voice spoke that also sounded close to laughter.
"Shhh, Yuki- Sama. He'll find us."
Kaname smiled to himself and silently climbed the tree to sit on one of the branches.
He looked down and saw Yuki leaning against the tree trunk, her tiny hand covering her mouth in a attempt to smother the giggles. Takuma was standing next to her, a big grin on his face as his eyes darted from side to side, as if he was looking for something.
"Found you." Kaname called as he jumped off the branch and landed in front of them.
Yuki squealed and started to run away, but her brother quickly grabbed her by the waist and pulled her against his chest.
"Got ya." He whispered before letting go and running away. This was the first time Kaname had actually played with the Noble children, and was surprised to find he was actually having fun.
'But that might just be because Yuki is here.' He thought to himself as Yuki giggled and started to chase after him, but she started a much easier target and began running after Aidou Hanabusa instead, she quickly caught up to him and grasped his arm.
"You're it!" She cried and ran towards her brother, who slowed down so she could catch up with him.
They continued playing until one of the Maids that worked for the Aidou household came out.
The maid bowed towards the children, and her body laungage showed that she was nervous being around the two purebloods.
"Kaname- Sama. Yuki- Sama, i'm sorry to disturb you." The level C maid spoke quickly, slightly stumbling over her words. "But, your parents have requested that you come inside. They said it was time to leave."
Kaname nodded towards the maid and took Yuki's hand as she smiled warmly at her new friends.
"Bye bye, Everyone." She said. "Thank you for letting me play with you."
The young vampies each slipped into a bow as the Kurans turned to walk away. Before she walked through the door to go inside, she turned around slightly so she could wave to the children who, in return, smiled at her.
The purebloods followed the maid back to the ballroom where their parents were waiting. Most of the vampires that had attended had already left, as it was close to sunrise, but the remaining vampires bowed as Kaname and Yuki walked in, and Yuki began to wonder if their backs didn't start hurting with all the bowing they did.
The siblings reached their parents who was talking to Lord Aidou, Lord Kain and Ichiou.
Yuki didn't like Ichiou. She didn't like the way he bowed towards her and her family, but the action seemed more sarcastic then respectful.
She hated the way his cold eyes watched her and Kaname, as if he wanted to eat them.
"Yuki?" Her Mothers voice snapped her out of her thoughts. "Did you have a nice time playing with the other children?"
Yuki smiled up at Juuri. "Yes, Mommy."
They left the Aidou manor, and Yuki was once again shocked by the beauty of the outside. Beautiful flowers were protruding up from the ground, despite the wintery conditions. Their colors clashed with the white of the snow, making it all seem even more stunning.
Yuki chatted to Kaname, whilst they were in the car on the way back to the Kuran mansion, talking about how beautiful the world was and how much fun she had playing with the other children.
But, as the sun began to rise, Yuki eventually slumped against her brother and closed her eyes. Kaname held her close as she slept, stroking her hair like he always did.
They eventually made it back to their home, and Haruka took Yuki off Kaname, so he could carry her to her room. Kaname followed behind his father, wanting to see Yuki off to bed as he usually did.
Haruka placed Yuki on her bed and walked out of the room, after patting Kaname's shoulder and whispering Goodnight.
Kaname walked over to Yuki and tucked the covers in around her. He would have called a maid in to change her, but she looked so peaceful that he didn't want to disturb her.
He placed a soft kiss on her forehead and turned around to leave, but before he could close the door behind him, he heard a soft whisper.
"Onii- Sama..Don't leave me."
Kaname turned back and looked at Yuki, she was still fast asleep, but her face was twisted, as if she was scared.
He hesitated for a moment, before shutting the door and walking back over to Yuki's bed, kicking off his shoes in the process and climbing into the bed next to her. He lied on his side so he could look at her and lifted his hand to brush the hair away from her face.
"I'll never leave you, My princess." He whispered as he closed his eyes.
"Mommy! Can we go play with Takuma-Kun, again?" Yuki asked her Mother, bouncing up and down.
"I'm sorry, Yuki, not today." Juuri told her daughter, who's face fell slightly. "We have a visitor." She finished.
Before Yuki could ask, the door swung open, revealing Haruka and Kaien.
"Uncle Kaien!" Yuki screamed and ran towards him. Kaien scooped the giggling girl up and spun her around in a circle.
"Hello, Yuki." He said.
"Have you come to play?" She asked, excited.
"I'm afraid not, Yuki." He began, but felt bad when he saw her frown. "Maybe later, ok? If I have time, but for now, I need to speak with your parents."
Yuki nodded and smiled before dancing over to Kaname and sat next to him, who removed one hand from his book automatically, so he could wrap one arm over her shoulders.
The three adults sat in Haruka's office, each waiting for someone else to speak.
Eventually, Juuri broke the silence.
"Did you bring them, Kaien?" She asked and he nodded as he reached into his jacket pocket and pulled out a small black box.
"I'm not sure how much better they are from the ones that are currently he used." He said as he opened the box to reveal 50 odd small white tablets. He picked two up and dropped them into a empty wine glass that was on the table. He filled the glass with water from jug that was next to the glass and watched as the water started to fizz.
"You're the first people to try this batch." He carried on and pushed the glass towards the Kurans.
Juuri looked up at her husband with a pleading expression on her face. Haruka silently sighed before lifting the glass of water that had now turned a pink color and pressed it against his lips.
He frowned slightly as he tilted the glass back a bit and let some of the pink liquid slip into his mouth and swallowed.
"Hmm..." Haruka spoke as he placed the glass back on the table. "It's stronger then before. But, it's not strong enough. It needs to taste more like blood. They're not going to want to enroll if this is what they have to drink."
Kaien frowned and Juuri reached over to pat his arm.
"It's ok, My friend." She comferted him. "We still have quite a while to perfect them, they're not old enough, yet."
Kaien nodded. "There's a lot of work to do.."
Juuri sighed and leaned back into her chair. "I won't give up." She said. "I want this. For my children."
Haruka nodded in agreement with his wife.
"Kyaa! Onii-Sama, stop it!" Yuki screamed as her parents walked in the room.
Kaname was leaning over his sister, his hands at her waist and was tickling the little girl.
"Kaname- Onii- Sama!" She cried out in between giggles. "Stop it."
Kaname chuckled but stopped tickling her and sat up.
"Mommy. Daddy, where's Uncle Kaien?" She asked.
"He had to go, Yuki, i'm sorry." Haruka told his daughter. "How about we go build a snowman?"
The little girl nodded and jumped out of her seat.
"Come on, Onii- Sama." She shouted and ran towards the door, eager to go outside again. Before her brother could follow, Juuri spoke up.
"You and your Father go on, Yuki. Me and Kaname will follow out soon."
Yuki nodded and took her Fathers hand to drag him over to the door, and Haruka couldn't help but smile at her enthuasim.
When the door was firmly shut Juuri turned to Kaname and sat in one of the arm chairs.
"Kaname." She said. "I know it's early to tell you this, but I need for you to agree..It's not going to happen for a while, but we're hoping to establish a new class at Cross- San's academy. A night class. Which will consist of vampires. To promote pacifism. To prove that Vampires and Humans can co-exist peacefully."
"So, why do you need me to agree?" He asked, though he already knew the answer.
"Erm, well you, see." She took a deep breath before continuing, unsure of how her son would react. "We would like for you to attend...To keep the other vampires in check, and if a Kuran is attending, then the idea will go down more smoothly with the others, and encourage others to attend, too..." She trailed off.
"Is Yuki going to attend?" He questioned.
"Of course." Juuri replied.
"Then I have no problem with attending." Kaname told his Mother as he stood up and walked towards the door. "Well, come on. Yuki's waiting for us."
Juuri smiled and followed her son outside to where Haruka and Yuki were waiting.
A/N: The next chapter, will be when they go to the academy, I think. Or do you think I should more about when they're children?
Did you like the chapter? I absolutely love Kaname and Yuki when they're young. They are so cute!! They're just hot when they're older ;)
