The ball which was held in Kaname's honor, to celebrate the coming of age of the only heir to the powerful Kuron family was the most magnificent celebration that Yuki had ever seen in her life.

It was held in the largest ballroom in the nearest city near the college which Yuki attended. Kaname and the other vampires didn't want to hold it in the vampire hunter town in which the Academy was held. That was too risky.

Instead it was held in an incredibly beautiful and ornate room which held several tables that were completely laden with expensive foods and drinks. There were marble statues and famous paintings lining the walls of the ballroom, and a stage in which an entire orchestra played classical dance music.

There were waiters in tuxedos that were serving guests with canapés, and caviar, and champagne and truffles from France. Yuki felt awkward here as she watched the beautifully dressed vampire couples glide along on the dance floor, she spotted some famous people she didn't even know were vampires.

The richest person in the country was here! And several politicians and movie stars, Yuki knew that these were the most powerful people in the country and yet they had all attended the gathering for Kaname.

Yuki gulped nervously, she had just realized how out of her depth she was and how important Kaname was. She was extremely nervous.

She felt Kanames hand on her waist and he whispered in her ear, "relax Yuki, no one hear will eat, not while you're with me anyway".

This didn't help Yuki calm down and Kaname chuckled as he looked into Yuki's large frightened eyes, "I'm only kidding, Yuki, just stay with me tonight and I'll guide you around. Just act naturally".

Yuki nodded and gulped nervously, she hadn't said a word the entire time she was here, she was too nervous. Just then, a distinguished older gentleman with silver blonde hair and piercing silver eyes introduced himself to Kaname.

He was Kaname's uncle and congratulated him on the party being held here, "Kaname, so nice to see you tonight, are you pleased with the party being held here?" "Yes, uncle, I would like to introduce you to Yuki, she is my guest for the night".

Kaname's uncle looked confused, "Kaname, what do you mean this young girl is your guest, you should be well aware that the entire purpose of this party is to find you an appropriate vampire girl to be your wife"

Yuki almost fainted at those words, she looked around the room, and noted that all the important people had brought young teenage girls to the party, there were hundreds of incredibly beautiful girls, all of whom wanted to be Kanames wife!

Yuki had to remind herself to breath, suddenly she wanted to be anywhere but here, and she saw some of the gorgeous vampire girls looking at her like she was a snake. She felt like running back to her school, this was far worse than when Kaname asked her to go here in front of the day class students, these vampires hated her and they could easily kill Yuki's fragile human body. Yuki started trembling and Kaname realized Yuki was extremely frightened.

"Please calm down Yuki, no one is going to hurt you. And uncle, I've said multiple times that the only reason that I attended this party is out of politeness. I have no interest in the vapid spoiled teenage daughters of rich men, who only care about me because of my bloodline."

Yuki suddenly realized why Kaname had wanted to bring her here. He had just wanted to show these women (and their fathers) that HE WASN'T AVALIABLE. He only wanted Yuki as a distraction so that he wouldn't be forced to date these vampire women. Suddenly Yuki felt faint, she had thought that Kaname had actually cared about her, she felt so stupid.

Kaname was talking to his uncle when he noticed Yuki was walking away, "hey Yuki, where are you going?" he shouted after her, but she either didn't hear him or was deliberately ignoring him, his uncle tugged on his arm and showed him over to another vampire family who were interested in marrying their daughter to Kaname, "wait uncle, I have to find Yuki".

Kaname's uncle seemed uninterested, "you mean that human girl? She'll be fine; she's probably just going to the toilet. Now this family is the Kusanagi family and their daughter is very interested in meeting you, don't you think she's beautiful?" he said directing Kaname's attention to a smallish but very cute teenage daughter who had round lips and dark green eyes, small nose and short straight dark hair. Kaname wasn't really paying attention to his uncle, but he wasn't allowed to leave yet, he still had his duties to attend to.

YUKI'S POV

Yuki had just left the large extravagant ballroom and started walking quickly away from the ballroom, she didn't know where she was, the building the ballroom was held in was huge and she forgot where the exit was, and she didn't want to go back to Kaname after the way he acted.

She should've known that Kaname wasn't interested in her, why would he be interested in just a normal human girl like her; she should've known it was too good to be true. She walked down a long and elegant hallway and passed many empty rooms, she didn't know where she was.

She kept walking aimlessly but she knew she was just getting lost, she didn't want to have to come crawling back to Kaname though.

Finally Yuki found a bathroom, it was an elegant and large bathroom that had a marble floor and huge mirrors that were lined with pearls, Yuki had never seen such a magnificent bathroom, but she wasn't that surprised.

This whole place was way more expensive then she was used too. She turned the tap on and started washing her face with the cool water, and finally felt refreshed. Then she heard some people walking down the hall, she could hear them talking, they sounded like ordinary teenage girls, but Yuki knew that they were probably vampires.

She could overhear them, "I can't believe our Lord Kaname is here tonight. He looks so handsome"; "I can't believe that he brought a pathetic little human girl with him though, what was he thinking?" "I don't know, maybe he was playing hard to get, but I hate that stupid little brat, did you see the way she looked at Lord Kaname, if I find her I'm going to teach her a lesson she'll never forget". The three vampires girls started laughing and were about to enter the bathroom when Yuki turned and saw them, all the color left her cheeks and she felt like she was going to throw up.

Three beautiful vampire girls walked into the bathroom, they were all beautiful and cheerful but Yuki could sense that they were still incredibly dangerous, as were all vampires, and the way that they talked about her she really didn't want to be in the room right now.

"Well, what do we have here?" the first vampire girl asked as she spotted Yuki standing in front of a mirror, the young girl looked incredibly frightened and had probably overheard their conversation.

The three vampire girls started laughing, "she looks like a mouse that's been trapped by a cat", the middle vampire girl laughed, "more like a rat". The third vampire girl said.

"I think she's more of a dog", the first vampire girl spoke up again and the other two started laughing, "Especially the way that she follows Lord Kaname around, isn't that right little girl? You're just a stupid little pet that Lord Kaname allows to follow him around, aren't you?" She walked up to Yuki and grabbed her face with her hands, "I honestly don't see what Lord Kaname sees in you" she said looking at Yuki's face, "you're not even that pretty".

"Please stop, I haven't done anything to you", Yuki begged, she was getting really scared now, she wondered where Kaname was, she wished she hadn't run away from him, she should have realized how stupid that was ,especially when there were vampires walking around.

"Aww, is the little pet going to cry? That might be cute to Lord Kaname, but I think it's pathetic", the first vampire girl slapped Yuki's face hard and Yuki flew against the back of the sink and hit the back of her head on the mirror, she screamed and fell to the floor, she put her head to the back of her head and felt something damp, she knew it was blood.

The three vampire girls inhaled deeply, "hmm, do you smell that, she smells incredible, I think I know why Lord Kaname keeps her around now", the middle one said while the other two stood over Yuki, Yuki looked up and saw the two vampire girls standing at her side she gasped as they both pulled her up and stood her on her feet, the first vampire girl took her face in her hands, Yuki had no idea what she was going to do to her, but when the third vampire girl started licking the blood at the back of her head she knew. She started screaming as the vampire girls started to feast on her blood.
