Hello everyone. I'm back and I shall say this I am very sad :( I ask for only two nice reviews and I get none. Then I read the chapter again and I realize that it was less than a thousand words. Since it was a short chapter many of you probably have little to say about it but whatever. Here is the new chapter, this chapter was so hard to write! I was so tempted to have Kaname bite her but that would mess up the plot so no he will not bite her.

Chapter 10: Almost Bitten
Today Yori-chan and I were out on an errand for the chairman. Zero and Ichiru went on another mission so they could not come. Yori-chan offered to come with me since she did not want me to be alone and happened to be free. We had just about gotten all of the things on the list when I felt a tugging on my coat. I looked down to see a boy was crying and had one hand covering his right eye.
"Mama *sniff* take me to mema." He pleaded.
"Is he lost?" Yori-chan asked.
I crouched down to the boy's height, "Did you get separated from your mama?" He nodded, I got up and looked at Yori-chan, "Yori-chan, can you go back without me? I'm going to help this boy find his mother." She nodded and left. I took the boy's hand and he started leading me to where his mother was.
The boy led me to an old building, "We have gone pretty far from the market are you sure your mom is here?" I asked.
"Yeah thank you for coming with me, I was afraid of coming here on my own." He replied I was able to see now that unlike his left blue eye he had a reddish-brown right eye. The boy came over to my side and kissed my cheek l. My vision began to blur, "Thank you onee-chan." I heard him say, in a voice that sounded much more mature than earlier, right before I blacked out.
I slowly opened my eyes and started getting up as my vision cleared I saw that Kaname-senpai was sitting in an armchair beside me.
"So you have awakened?" He stated.
"Kaname-senpai!" I jolted up from the lounge that I was sitting on, but I instantly felt dizzy and my knees went weak.
"Yuki." I heard him say in a low tone as he helped me sit back down.
"Thank you Kaname-"
"I thought you were not speaking to me?" He questioned, cutting me off.
"That is because senpai was treating me like a child. If you stop doing that then…" I trailed off.
"Yuki I only treat that way to protect you, I never meant to insult you." He explained.
"I understand but-"
"You know Yuki, after you said that did you think I would not be angry at you?"
"Senpai was the one at fault because you-"
"Yuki, your reckless actions cause me to worry about you. So whose fault do you think it is that I treat you that way?" He cut me off once more. I felt my heart speed up, he reached out a hand and placed it over my heart, "your heart rate has sped up quite a bit, so you do understand a little bit." We was interrupted by the knocking of the door. After removing his hand, "It's fine you can come in." He stated and Ichijo-senpai came in.
"Yuki-chan, thank goodness you came to. We were so worried when we found you collapsed outside. What happened anyway?" He asked.
"While I was shopping in the market with Yori-chan we ran into this little boy who had gotten separated from his mother. I told him I would help and he lead me to an old building. As gratitude he kissed my cheek and after that I blacked out." I explained.
"I see, it must have been one of tonight's guests. Vampire children tend to feed off of human life energy."
"Eh? What do you mean?" I asked confused.
"We are in the basement of one of the Aido manors. There is a function being held tonight and all of tonight's party guests are vampires." He explained.
I nodded and Kaname-senpai got up from his chair. He headed for the door but before he left he said, "Do not leave this room before I come back." With that he left.
I sat in the room for a while and looked around. It was pretty bare not much in it other than the sofa I was on and the armchair senpai had been sitting in. The walls were adorned with some fine art and there was an elaborate ceiling design. One thing in particular that I noticed about the room was that it had no windows. No windows. I felt as if I had been in a room like this before, but when? And where?
As I tried to remember I saw a flash of a woman covered in blood. The image was blurred and I could not see her face. After I saw it, my head began to pound. After a while the pain subsided. What was that? I tried picturing the image again but every time I tried, I felt as if my head was being split in two.
The door suddenly opened, I looked up and saw it was the boy from earlier, "Human onee-chan, I'm sorry." He said.
I smiled at him and got up, "So you're a vampire huh? Did you manage to find your mama?" Before I could get an answer he shut the door.
I knew Kaname-senpai would be mad at me if I left the room but I only wanted to check on the boy, when I saw that he was okay I would go back and senpai would never know, simple right? Thus I exited the room quietly and looked down the hall to see a bright light, must be the ballroom. I followed the light and found myself peering over the railing of a large eccentric staircase.
I saw that Kaname-senpai had already descended the steps and the nobles were now bowing to him. Of course they would he is Pureblood royalty, I reminded myself.
"Excuse me, I did not mean to interrupt the festivities. Everyone please continue to enjoy your night." He apologized.
One man got up but was still in bowing position asked, "Kaname-sama, is it true that you defied the Council and defended the human that killed lady Shizuka Hio?" He asked.
"It is true." He stated.
The hall broke out in murmurs,
"As expected of Kaname-sama. Going as far to defend a human." One said.
"Well it is all for our future with the humans." Another added.
My eyes wandered to the corner and spotted Zero and Ichiru with some black haired guy that I did not know. So this was the job they had been talking about. My gaze went back to senpai after the nobles had stopped bowing. He was talking to an old man behind the man were Aido-senpai and a girl who was blushing.
"Thank you for inviting me here tonight Aido-dono." He said.
"No, no, I am glad you came Kaname-sama. There is actually a favor I would like to ask of you," he turned to the girl behind him, "Tsukiko," the girl stepped forward.
"Father!" Aido-senpai began.
Paying no mind to his son Aido senior said, "This is my daughter Tsukiko, it is the hope of our entire clan that you one day find her appealing."
"Please stop Otou-sama! Kaname-sama this is not what I wished for!" Aido-senpai stated.
"I do not know what the future will hold but I will remember her." He said.
Then more nobles started approaching him with their daughters,
"Please meet my daughter as well."
"My daughter too."
"My daughter will do anything you ask of her Kaname-sama."
"Kaname-sama for you my daughter has…"
I did not want to hear anymore but one conversation two ladies below caught my attention, "Kaname-sama has changed, before he would always ignore such requests."
"He must have finally realized his duty as one of the few remaining Purebloods."
I fled after that no longer being able to take it. I entered the room from earlier and shut the door. My knees buckled and I slid down on the door. I had always known he was out of my league but I wish I had not seen that.
I felt the door open, "Will you let me in?" I heard senpai ask from the other side.
"O-okay." I got up and he came in.
He shut the door and turned his attention to me, "Didn't I tell you not to leave this room?" He asked.
"I-I'm sorry." I looked down to the ground.
He came closer to me and wrapped his arms around me, "No. This time Yuki I will not forgive you with just an apology." He picked me up and layed me down on the couch. He sat down at my feet and asked, "Why did you leave the room?"
"The child, I wanted to see if the lost boy from earlier was okay." I replied blushing as I looked away.
He lay his head on my chest and said, "Until I forgive you please let me stay like this for a little while longer. I am very tired." He closed his eyes and I smiled.
I hugged his head and said, "Of course, I would do anything for your sake, Kaname-sama." We stayed like that for a while before I realized what I had just called him and removed my hands to wipe away my tears.
Sensing my change he looked up at me, "Yuki?"
"I promised myself I would stop calling you 'sama' to your face anymore. That way I could leave behind my childish dreams but even so I-" During the entire time I was talking I did not notice him get closer to my neck and when I did, "senpai?" He licked my neck.
I arched back slightly as he continued to lick my neck. His grip on the pillow beside me. He stopped and changed positions so he was now hovering above me, his eyes were a blazing red filled with hunger, "You humans are fleeting beings, living lives that feel like a moment to us vampires. Do you want to become a vampire?" He asked taking me by surprise. "will you become a monster who drinks blood and live the long flow of time with me Yuki?"
He had gotten closer to my neck and all I could say was, "I will."
His fangs were now less than a centimeter from my neck but then I remembered what happened with Shizuka, she had bitten me but I did not change. Her words echoed in my mind, 'You are human yet you are not, my bite will not change you.' If that was true then senpai's bite would not affect me. Then we could never be together for eternity, this revelation caused tears to fall from my eyes.
Senpai stopped that moment and wiped away my tears. He sat up and pulled me up with him.
"I'm sorry I took my punishment too far. I won't do anything to you." He kissed my forehead.
"Senpai I-"
"Why do you have that sort of face. From now on please refrain from coming to dangerous places like this again." He smiled at me with a tender smile but that smile only made me feel worse, in his eyes I could tell he was hurt, hurt by my rejection. "I have readied a car for you to return in, take care now."
He escorted me to the car after that and I arrived at the Academy less than an hour later. Yori-chan had been worried and I apologized. I went to bed as usual and the next day went by in a flash. Before I knew it I was out doing crowd control in front of the Moon Dorm. When the night class came out they all stopped when Kaname-senpai halted in place a few feet away from me.
"Yuki, I know what you said to me last night was not a lie so don't worry about it." They continued on and after they were gone I ran. I ran and I ran and I ran until I was in the heart of the forest.
Tears were falling from my eyes now and I was sobbing uncontrollably. Oh senpai, even if they were not lies it could never happen. You and are too different and even if I wanted to be with you, even if I wanted to be a vampire, I would never be able to. Fate was a cruel thing making me this way. What was I anyway? I knew I was not human, I had powers and a Pureblood's bite could not effect me so what exactly was I? Who am I?
