Chapter- 6


I don't want to think about you or our time together.

But you are all I want to remember.


Previously:

She loved them both dearly, she really did but Kaname, even though she loved him, she hated him too. Kaname was cruel towards everyone but her, he would sacrifice anything, any life if it meant she was safe and beside him. Just like what he had done to the Kiryuu's, what he did to Zero and Ichiru.

No, she needs to go. She has leave.

'Shiki…'


Yuki was running. From her brother, she didn't want to see his face right now. All she could think of was getting away from there.

She didn't remember where Shiki or Rima's room was and had no time to look for them, so her next best option was Cross-san. She took a quick look back, see if Kaname was following or not, she hoped not really. She almost sighed in relief to see that he wasn't there. Her actions must have surprised him too much to have him rooted in one place. She needs to get to Cross-san before he comes for her. She didn't want explain any of her actions or behavior to him just yet.

'Hurry! I need to be faster!'

She was going at a pace slightly faster than a human's pace. No, this wouldn't do; she growled and tried to tap into her newly awakened her powers to find something anything. She searched her memories to try and replicate one of her mother's and Kaname's ability, even Rido's; that weird misty travel thingy.

'Can I really do it? I have never tried something like this, not even as a child did I try using my abilities.' She pondered over her inexperience in using her powers. She really wanted to go back into past and punch her younger self for neglecting her mother's teaching. Did she really have to be such a lousy student even as a vampire!?

She stopped in the long hallway and concentrated, trying to awaken her power, her instincts as a pureblooded vampire.

WHY is it so hard!? She sighed before trying once again.

This time she felt a pull towards her…core…? It was strange, red and cold. Typical…

She gasped suddenly at the sensation of something seeping through her core to her veins and then all around her. It lasted only for a moment before that connection was cut and she snapped her eyes open. Her mouth opened in surprise and eyes widened, she was standing right in front of Cross-san's house!

She got over her surprise and quickly covered the distance between her and the front door. Her hands grabbed the knob and turned, it was unlocked.

'Will he ever learn to lock the door?' she sighed in exasperation. 'Hold a minute! Is he even home?' fantastic Yuki!

She stepped inside and tried to sense him out. Thanking her luck because she felt two present in the house. Walking towards the kitchen and the dining area, she found Cross-san hunched over the table with a cup of tea in his hands and Yagari-sensei stood beside him, arms found, both looking tired and worn out.

"Cross-san!" she called out instantly making the ex-hunter and hunter turn their head up so fast, she was surprised they didn't break their necks. "Yuki!?"


What is she doing here? Shouldn't she be getting ready to leave? "What are you doing here, Yuki-chan? Shouldn't you be preparing to leave with Kaname-kun" Cross voiced his thoughts, sneaking a glance towards the hunter besides him.

Yuki straightened her back, not straying her eyes from either of them and said, "I have to tell you both something."


Even in the dark, his vision remained perfect. He easily navigated through the dark hallway to the main wing of the manor, the masters' dwelling. As he walked he was careful not to jolt the slumbering body in his arms, the boy seriously needed to rest so that his body and new powers could adapt and his mind could adjust to any necessary changes that may occur. His powers were out of control and were flowing out and around his body because of his rashness. Running out to take on an aged pureblood was utterly foolish of him and the reason for his weapon turning against him. His powers awakened his weapon's consciousness and lead to the gun's spirit attacking its wielder to stop him from getting himself anymore injured than needed or worse killed.

'Idiot child' he thought amusedly. Not like he would have killed the little hunter, injure him yes but certainly not kill when his main objective tonight was to get him in his clutches. His niece and not-so-nephew would be dealt with later, once he has a better plan than last time.

While his desires for his niece have been quelled, he may still require her blood. Well, it looks like he will have to delay his plans of killing them both off.

"Wait a minute…" his voice lowly enough to escape human ears, his eyes took in the hall he was walking in and stared dumbly for a good minute or two. He chuckled little in nervousness, embarrassment and worry, 'did I just get lost in my own house!?'


Takuma had been trying to find something incredibly important in his desk when he heard the door open and felt the presence of his dorm mate entering. He turned around to look at the younger boy whose face was grim. "Senri?"

The said boy shook his head at the blonde, a gesture for 'not now' before beckoning him closer. Takuma followed, confusion visible as his head tilted slightly in question and was suddenly pulled into his roommate's arms, almost tipping his balance. "Sen-Senri, what are you doing?" he lightly placed his hands on Senri's back before trying to take a step back from the embrace, only to have the arms around him tighten their hold.

Senri buried his face in the older boy's neck to take in his scent, something he found himself addicted to. "How long do you think can keep me and Rima at the arms length? For how long will you run from us?"

His words had Takuma's eyes widening. No, he couldn't have noticed. No..no..no! His form trembled slightly in the constricting hold before trying to forcibly breaking away. "Senri! Let go! Let me go!" he cried out, shoving at the boy's shoulders when he was unexpectedly and swiftly pushed down on the floor beneath Senri; his wrists held above his head, a leg forced between his and taking all weight of the boy over him didn't leave him a chance to break free.

"I know you can see my and Rima's feelings for you. Our actions towards you and yet you act if you are so unaware of it. How long can you keep up? Does your grandfather still work as an excuse? Tell me senpai."

Takuma tried to answer him but his voice shook at the startling display of anger in Senri's voice and face.

Yes, he wanted to say, I know about your feelings, both of yours. I see it all. I am sorry but please…

He wanted to say it, all of it but he couldn't. He felt his eyes water and opened his mouth to say something, anything but then all of a sudden, he found himself free of the hold and weight pressing him down, he blinked in surprise before daringly taking a glance towards the maroon haired boy who was already walking towards his bed and pulling an already packed bag from underneath the bed.

Takuma hastily stood up from where he was lying on the floor and stared at the other boy whose face still held the angry lines. He was so unsure of what to do or say, he never meant to hurt him or Rima but it was still dangerous for them to be with him. He was snapped out of his thoughts when he heard Senri try to suppress a growl; he almost flinched but held himself. He had never seen the other boy like this, it instantly made him put his guard up because Senri was the most unpredictable and dangerous noble among them and also one of the strongest of the nobles thanks to his father's blood.

"Senpai, Rima and I are leaving and out of reach. I am not sure when we will be back but I am giving you a week's time starting now. Think of what you will decide carefully. I will come to you once your time is up." Senri placed the bag in his down and quickly covered the distance between him and Takuma who locked quite shocked. He raised his hand up to the blonde's head and pulled him down slighty to whisper in his ear, "And let me tell you, senpai if you don't have an answer for us, we will forcibly claim you. But we would hate to hurt you…" he slowly traced Takuma's pale cheeks with his other hand, the action had Takuma take in a shuddering breathe. "So you better have an answer ready." He said and pulled back, leaving the blonde faintly scared at his words.

Senri was already out the door with his bag by the time Takuma gathered himself. And as the door closed quietly behind the maroon head, Takuma was left alone with his muddled thoughts.


Rima was already waiting for him when Senri walked into the common room of their dormitory. She had her bags placed by her legs and in her hands were Senri's ever favorite sweets, pocky sticks. He extended a hand towards her and she placed one in his hand which he quickly bit into. He nearly purred at the sweetness exploding in his mouth. The two then without a word made their journey outside the dorm towards the gates. Though they were both rather surprised that they didn't bump into any one of the vampires.

Once they were out the gate, Rima broke the silence, "What took you so long?" she asked in a quiet mumble, just loud enough to be heard by him only. "I was talking to Ichijou-senpai" was the immediate reply. She nodded her head understandingly. She didn't question any further because she knew what they talked about, both of them had decide of giving him one week's time before taking him as theirs. Turning her head towards Senri who was already looking at her and both had the same thought in their mind. 'Like we'll take 'no' for an answer.'


"Ah, Rima! Did you call for a car to come and pick us up?"

She sighed heavily in disappointed and shook her head before saying, "Of course I did. I knew you would forget." And the boy let out a small nervous smile directed at the girl.


"Sometimes you get the best light from a burning bridge."


Yosh! An update!

*KYAAAAAA* did you people watch the new yaoi anime, 'Dakaretai Otoko'!?

Ah… not what I wanted to ask first but anyways,

First, who do you think Yuki should end up with? There's a poll on my profile.

Second, a little challenge, can you people guess the rest of the pairs? Whoever gets them all right will have their ONE questions answered about the fic.

Third, I have been thinking of killing off either Rido or Kaname in the end. Should I?
