Chapter 9

Yuuki's P.O.V

"I can't believe Kaname got me a ring, Oh well it's Kaname so I can believe it, but still I never would have thought it would be this soon. Then again it would make me realize we do need to talk about our situation we had been put in by my parents and his father" As Kaname returned a few moments later without his chocolates, it brought my earlier frustration back so I went back to deflowering the roses I was given by the Day Class students.

"I hope Aido likes these chocolates. I didn't even want them but to decline them completely seem counterproductive to our goal to co-existing" Kaname said as he took a seat at the desk.

"Kaname we really need to talk about our engagement and our lives" I said as I looked down at the ring on my finger and the roses on my lap.

"Well we're going to be Wed someday, as for when I guess when we decide we can handle such a relationship as ours is going to need to be. I think we could be a moderately a happy family and all if we truly tried we umm...just need to get to know each other more intimately I suppose" Kaname suggested seeming nervous and unsure.

"I agree mostly but umm...I don't think we could ever get our relationship comfortable enough to umm..you know a be in a situation where creating an heir would be possible" I said in a stuttering and mumbling my words knowing he would hear but wishing he couldn't, my face must be bright red by now.

"Yes, well ahh...I don't think we're ever going to be truly comfortable in that regards but I suppose getting used to the others touch would help" Kaname said as he then looked up towards me as he had turned his chair around to face me and I hop off from my perch on the window seal. I looked up to see his face just as red as mine, I approached him to only stopped in front of him. My gaze following his as he took a seat on the couch looking up at me as he grabbed my hand bringing it to his face. I was stunned when I felt the skin of his cheek against my hand. I watched him with blank thoughts watching Kaname closed his eyes, burying his face into my hand. I stutter when I felt and hearing Kaname's breathing in the fragrance smell on my wrist that caused my cheeks to go redder than before. I couldn't bring myself to get a word out to say something until Kaname spoke instead breaking the awkward embarrassing silence between us.

"We can do things like these so we may start to getting used to each others touch, hopefully" Kaname continued burying his face into my hand.

"I guess...we could so that" I replied feeling my face really warm still and as I stare at Kaname's face that looks peaceful which caused me to smile a little at his expression I watched.

Ichijou's P.O.V

We arrived at Kaname's and Yuuki-sama's office with Aido and Kain. Aido approached closer towards the door and I waited for Aido to open the door so Kain and I can walk inside after him. While holding some paper works that need to be signed, Aido had finally opened the door to the office after he had walked into the office Kain and I followed Aido behind entering into the office. Upon entering into the office looking down at the files in my arms I sensed Aido had stopped right in front of me after entering into the office, I looked up to see Aido with a frozen like expression or shock on his face. I raised an eyebrow wondering why all of a sudden he had stopped looking shocked. I pushed the thoughts aside because this wasn't the time to worry about the boy so I just walked around him to tell both Kaname-sama and Yuuki-sama about the paper works need signing. But when I was about to opened my mouth standing beside Aido, lifted my head up with my mouth opened to say something when I suddenly no words came out instead other words had slipped out of my lips.

"Aww! So cute. Where is the camera!? I need to take a pic…" I didn't finished my sentences when I saw something flew straight past my face only to have my fringe slightly trimmed at the tips, whatever flew past my face hit the wall near by. I looked over to the wall slowly to see an envelope opener stabbed in the wall. I stared at it for a few moments before looking back at Yuuki and Kaname to only end up seeing Kaname who has his hand extended still from after he had thrown the object.

"Please stop being annoying Ichijou…" Kaname said before leaning back in his chair as Yuuki turned to the window sill leaning against it and started ripping up roses which that would have been the roses she received by the Day Class students. I blinked a couple of times returning my gaze back to Kaname and spoke.

"Sorry for disturbing you" Kain said from behind us before he had grabbed both me and Aido by the back of our collars, dragging us out of the office before putting a sign on the door after closing the door after we had gotten out of the office.

Once we had left the office and we stood outside of the office I pouted and looked up towards Kain then let out a silent sigh to myself.

"Lets give them some privacy" Kain said in a bored voice returning his hands into his pockets of his school pants. We were just about to leave when suddenly I just remember about the paperworks.

""AH! The paperworks!" I reacted when I looked to notice I'm still holding the paperworks that were meant to be signed.

"Why is everyone gathered out here?" A familiar voice was heard. We all turned to the direction the voice was coming from. We saw in the distance both Shiki and Rima who are coming towards us.

"Ah! Shiki-sama and Rima-sama. Well we were actually here to hand the paperworks to be signed when suddenly…"

"You got thrown out by my brother didn't you?" Shiki jokingly said. I blinked a couple of times then gave a nervous laugh as a sweat runs down the side of my temple of my forehead.

"You really got thrown out?" Asked Rima.

"Who got thrown out?" Asked Ruka as she had appeared behind Aido and I.

"Well you see I have these papers that need to be signed and when we walked into the office we found Kaname-sama and yuuki-sama…" "CRACK" I was going to continue when we suddenly heard the sound of a cracking noise of the window cracking threateningly.

"Hmm maybe you should stop talking.." Kain said.

"Hmm yes, maybe he should" Said Yuuki-sama from behind me by the door of the office.

"Ah! Yuuki-sama I was just about to tell everyone…"

"Papers" Said Yuuki-sama as I had been cut off from what I was going to say the rest of my sentences.

"Huh?" I said at a lost for a few moments.

"You said you had papers that need signing" She explained taking the papers from my grasp and then leaving the hall entering back into the office.

~Time Skip - Next Night~

Yuuki's P.O.V

No classes tonight just studying as all the night class sitting outside in the Dorm garden reading or writing. My books held little interest to me since having to have completed my works. No, I found the strokes of my pencil across my sketch book page fascinating as it formed an image of a tall, dark proud and handsome figure dressed in the white Night Class uniform. Dark looks falling around the face, his face so content, relaxed yet absorbed in what he is reading. The drawing was of my cous...I mean Fiance. With his red wine eyes that held so many secrets, long fingers supporting the book he is reading, face never moving to show his thoughts of what's on the page.

"Yuuki" Zero called as he entered the moon dorms court yard from the gates along with his twin following behind him but having to run towards me in full speed.

"Yuuki! We came to hang out since no school tomorrow" Said Ichiru laid down beside me resting his head in my lap instead of the grass as Zero stood leaning against the tree. Ichiru looked up to his twin brother "Zero come lay down with me on the other side of Yuuki's lap, her lap makes the best pillow" Ichiru tried convincing him to join while as I pat the empty space for Zero to join us on the ground as I turned the page over to start a new. Zero gave a reluctant sigh when suddenly Ichiru grabbed onto his wrist and pulled him down ending up sprawled on the ground his hair in his face as he glared at the branches above him. He turned his head glaring at his brother and me before he moved his head onto my lap giving in to his brother's whims.

Once Zero had settled down I taken my pencil in hand and started sketching an image of three faces started to form eyes closed in sleep as the hair started to spread around their heads. One pale, short another pale but longer and lastly dark, curls almost reaching shoulder like the ones before me. My hand moving over the page as the wind blows through my hair, so quiet, so peaceful.

"What are you drawing Yuuki?" I heard Ichiru asking what I'm drawing in my sketchbook. I didn't want to stop drawing because I want to keep drawing while I have it still pictured in my mind not to mention the way I have it positioned it on the page, so I didn't want to lose it.

"I'm not done yet.." I responded to him not taking my eyes away, continued sketching. I can tell Ichiru is quite curious and really want to know what I have been drawing for the past hour or so. All of a sudden it makes me remember of the day when Kaname tried to get my sketch book to see the sketchbook when I did a sketch of him as he was reading his book. Remembering that day caused me to feel a sense of warm feeling inside but I tried to shake the thoughts off to continue with my sketching of the trio.

Closing the sketchbook i stared down at zero and Ichiru one peaceful the other tense, running my fingers through zero's hair causing him to relax slowly after placing my sketchbook on top of my bag beside me. I sat there taking in the peaceful atmosphere around us in front of the Night Dorm with all the other students from the Night Dorm.

When suddenly I heard a slight groaning of unpleasantry coming from Kaname. I lifted my hand up looking away from the twins to see Kaname slam his book shut and just sat there quietly, still with an unpleasant facial expression on his face. I somewhat want to just reach out towards him and place my hand against his cheek to calm him down just like when we were alone together in the president's office. But when I felt one of the twins move I looked down towards the twins once more smiling lightly, withdrawing my hand from reaching to Kaname's face.

Kaname's P.O.V

I continued sitting beside Yuuki but it didn't last long until the two twins had come over having to interrupt us. I had sensed the night students feeling quite restless the fact that the two of them had come to our area even a time when we aren't doing anything wrong. I looked over from the twins to the rest of the student motioning them that everything is alright and so they continued or try to relax again. Watching her draw was fascinating her eyes narrowed in concentration the way her hand flew over the page if only i could see what she is drawing now maybe the twins. I don't like the thought of her drawing anyone else but me, it just seems to irritate me at the thought of it.

I tried to peek over but I seem to not be able to see what is it that she has come to draw so far. I looked away from what she is doing until she had stopped drawing assuming she had finished her sketch since she had closed the sketchbook shut and started stroking the hair of that infernal twin. My hand slowly made its way to Yuuki's sketchbook which she had placed it on top of her bag beside her. My hand has made it to the book, grabbing a hold of the book i slowly and quietly pulled the book, bringing it towards me. Once i has it in my grasp i placed it beside me against my side hoping it's out of her sight while she's distracted by the insolent twins that I don't want to think about...

I waited for the moment she was closing her eyes to be sure she couldn't see me opening the book, as i flipped through looking for her new sketch, i came across the one she did that night while we were at the fountain as I have been reading a book and she was drawing of me. I stared at the drawing, the image seemed to exclude a sense of peace and contentment, the detail she put into my eyes as they scan across a page, the piece of hair stuck behind my ear or as it falls into my eyes. I couldn't help but stop at the picture, as i continued through the pages i came across her latest creation, it almost made me want to close my eyes and rest my head on something soft preferably yuuki's lap as well but when I had turned my head to look to those that had taken my place i felt an almost uncontrollable need to push them off or at least over so that i too may rest my head upon her lap.

I do wonder to myself why Yuuki would give them a lot of attention especially when they are Vampire hunters, a possibility that one day they could turn against them if any Vampire that is not of their own might mess with them and would want to take revenge. How would she feel if they ever turn against her…Betrayed no doubt, but would she protect herself against them or would she be powerless to raise a hand against them from her own feelings for them, for certain I would never allow them to even contemplate harming her…

"Mm Yuuki why did you stop...it's relaxing having you play with our hair. I was almost asleep" Ichiru mumbled breaking my line of thoughts with his whining. For now the Kiryu twins attachment to Yuuki runs deep enough to be of no concern at the present or in the near future "Hmm soo comfy don't you think Zero?" Ichiru mumbles asking the other brother, having to remind me that both still resting on Yuuki's lap. The thought of pushing them off her soft thighs and resting my head instead was becoming most compelling and interesting idea. To see the moment of shock for a second on Zero's face as it shift to an almost curdling glare as his head hits the grass instead of flesh. As he then reaches for his gun while Ichiru would probably exclaim in shock before throwing a small tantrum at his pillow being stolen while Yuuki would be maybe amused or concerned about such a thing occurring.

"Mmm shhh Ichiru" Zero mumbled half asleep snuggling into Yuuki's hand as she brushes his hair from his face. I raise my hand with a surge of desire to shove them off of her lap.

"Oni-sama" I stopped in shock with my actions flinching and look up at Shiki looking down at me with his bored expression "What are you doing with Yuuki's sketchbook?" he asks. While I look up towards my dear brother, slowly my hand glides back to the book turning the pages of the book when suddenly.

"WHAT!" Yuuki shouts turning her head to look at me with shock in her expression. I stare at her with a shy twitch of a grin. The next thing we know I quickly push myself off the ground, still the sketch in my hand to make a break for it with the book. I made it to my hands and feet before suddenly as I am bracing myself from falling to my face first and can't move my left leg, looking over my shoulder to see Yuuki's hand gripping my ankle.
