I am sorry this took forever to write and get up here. I've been a little busy with job hunting, person stuff and other writings.

And I am sorry that this chapter is a little rushed...and not so good (_)

But I will do my best to make the next one better, it actually begins to be more Kaname/Nene stuff..hehe.

Please read and review afterwards, telling me how much you like the story and if you have any ideas for plot/romance with Kaname and Nene.

Chapter Eight

[Nene's P.O.V]

Running my fingers over the keys of the piano that sat neatly in one of the few music rooms I pondered the thought of playing a song or two. I was supposed to be on patrol but with the Night students in class and the Day students fast asleep in their warm beds I chose to take a break. It was going on for two in the morning and strangely I wasn't all that tired, bored yes but not tired. Sitting at the piano I thought over the song I wished to play. After a few minutes I decided to just forget the song and play whatever comes to my mind, in other words improvise. I played numerous keys, some that didn't even sound that good with others. But before long I began to play something reasonably good for the ears.

"Interesting composing, are you even trying?" came an all too familiar voice, which seemed to hold a joking manner.

My playing abruptly stopped as my head turned towards the room's door. Standing by the door was Kaname. He had mostly a blank look upon his face yet his eyes seemed to be full of amusement. So maybe I didn't have to go looking for him after all, he came to me in stead. Moving around on the bench I watched him closely. Slowly he moved into the room before closing the door. It really was now or never.

"Kaname-sempai-"

"Just Kaname…remember".

I nodded, "of course Kaname…I think we need to talk".

He nodded, agreeing with me entirely. So moving from the bench we both moved over to sit at a table, this way we could be eye to eye. I told him I knew about the Night Classes secret and he told me he of course knew about my family. He further discussed his role and that of the other Night Students; I was rather surprised they wished for there to be peace between the Vampires and all the other races. The way he spoke was amazing.

"Chairman Cross tells me that you aren't going to be during the break, ne?" Kaname questioned.

I sighed, "yes…I'm being forced to go to the Gypsy council, supposedly to learn more about it all".

He nodded, "I think that is a good thing. You will learn more about your history and culture" he smiled softly, making my heart beat pick up.

I don't know why but whenever Kaname shows even a little bit of emotion or interest I start to feel a little funny. My heart rate picks up, I blush more, I can never look him in the eyes and I fidget. When I was younger my mother told me that it was a sign that I liked a person. But if I was on love the person of interest would never leave my mind. And if that's the case, I know I don't love Kaname…right?

"Nene, is something wrong?" he asked after some moments of silence.

"Huh? Oh, I'm fine…just thinking" I replied blushing lightly.

"I guess you don't like what is to come of you, right?"

I shook my head slowly, "no…I don't really. I guess my Grandmother pushed me so much when I was growing up that I hate the thought of being the person people look to for help and advice, to command and be admired".

It was the truth. I always wondered what made me so special that would have people talk about me, worship me and seek my guidance. I'm still a teenager! Sure I wont take the so called thrown till I am eighteen, and even then I'm still too young. How can so many people rely on the word of an inexperienced girl? As if feeling my uncertainty and fear, Kaname slid closer to me, wrapping his arms around me in a secure and reassuring embrace.

"Nene…you need to believe in yourself, and those around you. The council wouldn't just throw you into everything, they would advise you and explain all in detail" Kaname stated matter-o-factly, "you have a choice in all this. You don't have to take the responsibility of the Gypsy's. But if you do, you have a chance to change everything for all races".

His voice was soft and tender. Why was Kaname being like this? He was never like this before. But, strangely, I liked it. No one in my life – other then my Grandmother you could say – showed so much attention and affection for me. Yet here was Kaname, someone who hasn't known me for long, giving me that attention and affection.

"Kaname…" I said softly looking him in the eyes; I knew what was coming now.

Slowly he began to lean in, our lips set on a course to meet. But sadly it never had a chance to happen as the door slowly opened, the sound of a voice calling Kaname's name.

"Kaname-sempai, are you in here? You are needed in the-"

Ichijo came into the room, his speech halting once seeing myself and Kaname together so closely. With a stammered apology he left us in a hurry. I'm guessing Kaname had a look of displease upon his face. But Ichijo did ruin a good moment for us both. I know now about the night students, and that explained the kiss those nights ago. I didn't help with making my lip bleed, so I was half to blame.

[End Of P.O.V]

Over the next month both Nene and Kaname spent most nights talking. He spent some of that time educating Nene on some of the matters that she would have to deal with if she became the head of the Gypsy's. She didn't find it all that interesting but did her best to listen and show vague interest. But Kaname soon discovered that she wasn't fond of learning those matters, and dropped it to just spend the time talking about literature, music and other enlightening topics.

But not all time was spent inside talking, and occasionally getting close. They moved outside while Nene patrolled Kaname would join her for a walk. Being outside was a little more romantic then being stuck inside in a music room. Though Kaname rather enjoyed her piano playing, he said it reminded him of the old performers with her passion and skill.

Yet both knew that when the winter break came a long that it would be a while before they would see one and other. Kaname was off to the Kuran house hold to spend time with nobles and other matters. And Nene was off to the Gypsy council to begin to learn more about her role and the history of her family.

Sitting outside by the old fountain the pair basked in the beauty of the night. Time seemed to be going at a normal pace, leaving neither to complain unlike before. Nene was thinking about how to say what she wished to Kaname. He, on the other hand, was watching her, studying her really.

"Kaname…" Nene finally said softly turning to look at him, "there is something I wish to say to you…"

He nodded, "go on".

Taking a deep breath she knew it was now or never.

"Kaname, I am glad that we talked everything out a month ago because the nights have been enjoyable since we talk so much" she smiled looking down at her feet, "but I think I may…have gain deeper feelings for you then just friendship".

Now it was Kaname's turn to be surprised. Nene had just openly admitted to harbouring deep feelings for the Vampire. He knew that before they had spent so much time with Nene that he felt something for her, but now after the time they haven't spent he knew that feeling was getting stronger.

Feeling that his voice was going to fail him Kaname placed a hand under Nene's chin, lifting and turning her face their eyes met as he wore a light smile. Slowly he leant in and captured her lips in a tender kiss. This time it was completely different to their first kiss. He was blood crazed then, but now it was telling her how he felt. Slowly it deepened, the pair taking pleasure from something that they knew wouldn't last. Nene was only here for another two or so years, and then she would be leaving to take her place as the head of the council. And that meant whatever they had would have to die, for good.
