Kuran Kaname, he who's heart has been abused recklessly over the centuries. He is the one who has the power to change everything.
He is the one, who was always the one, for her.
The first and her last.
Kuran Yuuki, she who changed the vampire world and his.
She is his other half, his love, his sister…
And, maybe, his death.
They are the people this dark, sinful world revolves around, and yet, they share the most innocent feeling for each other.
Will love light there darkened path, or burn out both of there flames faster than anyone could of thought?
This is a confusing game of Chess, one that must be played very carefully.
One he mustn't lose.
Now, all that must be done is for him to assemble his Chess Pieces.
She must help him without knowing,
For he just may lose his queen.
To the disrespectful, old, disgraced knight.
For every tear,
His skin will tare,
As will the Bluebirds heart.
Lavender VS. Burgundy,
Heart VS. mind,
And mind VS Blood.
When she wakes, she will be hooded,
When insanity burns out he will be left with only burns,
Now them must forgive each other, or face extinction.
Or will the King and Queen throw the Game?
Plans, Plans.
What will they be?
But most importantly, who is she?
~I'll show you a dark dream…tonight, my love~
~Present, Yuuki~
Kuran Yuuki's head throbbed, but she opened her eyes anyway, dreading the light she would more that likely see. When she did, she was surprised to see herself sitting at a table, the white of the table cloth not hurting her sensitive eyes, the only thing illuminating the evening was the moonlight, shrouded by a black cloud.
"My precious Yuuki, have you come to visit us?" A familiar and shocking voce sounded to her right, where out of no where her own Mother had appeared.
"O-o-Okaa*-san?" Yuuki blinked, astounded by the sigh before her. There, to her right, in a red oak chair just like she sat in was her beautiful mother, her long and slightly curly hair blowing the breeze.
"Did you forget about your Otou*-san too, Yuuki?" Yuuki turned her head to the right as fast as she dared; meeting the eyes so much like her brother it frightened her. Her Fathers also curly hair was unruly, but still stylish, both, she could to see, where wearing the same clothes as when they had been murdered.
"Otou-san? Okaa-san?" Yuuki slowly cried, but she blinked the tears away as fast as she could, not daring to miss a single moment of time with her family. "Where is Onii-san?" Yuuki felt like a small child again as her Mother stood and hugged Yuuki close, lifting Yuuki out of her chair while her Father embracing both of them.
"My Dear Yuuki, neither you nor Kaname belong here, in the Land of Sleep. At least not yet."
Yuuki stared up at her Mother in confusion. "Land of Sleep?"
This time it was her Father who answered her. "The Land of Sleep is place for beings that never truly die, vampires, who are waiting to go back to Earth. Or to just spend the rest of eternity in peace."
A land for the dead vampires, Yuuki realized, and she was here. So she is she dead?
"No, Kuran Yuuki. You have not passed on yet." This voice was new, but also slightly familiar, and came out from behind her. Standing there was the woman Kaname had loved before her, the woman's long blond hair and cloak blowing in the rustling, yet calm and cool breeze. Yuuki eyes widened, while her arms instantly held her Mother and Father tighter. "Jurri, Haruka, would you mind if I talked to her? Alone?" They nodded while the woman's words hit her like a ton of bricks.
"No! No! Don't leave me! Please!" They smiled down at Yuuki, untangling from her hands clutching desperately their clothes.
"Yuuki, Darling," Their voices mixed into one, as they leaned into each other gracefully, lovingly. "We have never left, and we never will."
"D-don't leave, Momma, Papa, I want you to come back!" Yuuki's tears where unstoppable, her heart and hands begging and reaching for them, but uselessly slipping right past them.
"My Baby, This is not a final goodbye, we will meet again." And with that they disappeared, fading like the night wind, and only their words staying, imprinting on her heart.
"Young Hime*, do not fret. Their words are true, and they will forever be." Yuuki whipped her eyes, turning her attention back to the woman sadly. (AN; Translations at bottom)
"Why am I here?" Yuuki stated, sounding more than a little heartbroken.
"Let us start with why I am here. And why Kaname is not." The woman seemed to look past Yuuki, her sad eyes seeming to be in the past. "I am nothing but a memory, only kept alive by 'Kaname', the instigator of the Kuran clan. When the time comes for you and him to be here, I will not. The Purebloods and other vampires here are merely memories, and fading ones at that. Everyday fading more unto the past.
"Some have chosen to go back to Earth, and some have seeked eternal paradise here, like Shizuka Hio," The woman nodded, and the landscape changed to a land seeming to be filled with nothing but flowers, on a cherry blossom tree was sitting a beaming Shizuka and below her a man. "The man is her lover, and she and he have decided to live here forever, being one." The landscape changed again, this time to a large mansion, inside paintings and marvelous furniture, the walls light beige. On a couch in the middle of the room, decorated with gold stitching was Hanabusa's Father.
"And some, like this man, have decided to wait and comeback to Earth when the time is right," She paused to look over at Yuuki "And some like I, have decided to fade into nothingness as the sands of times shift and turn." She reached down, picking up white sand, off the floor of the mansion and blowing it; it twisted and surrounded them, and when it cleared Yuuki and the lady where in another place. Yuuki could remember this being the sandy desert space of the past.
Yuuki stared at her in shock for a moment, blinking away more of her tears. "Why do you want that? To fade and leave no trace of your existence? What about Kaname? Don't you want to see him again?"
The woman eyes where sad, but she smiled at Yuuki. "I have left one thing, one thing for myself and Kaname." She reached out and gently stroked Yuuki's face. "You."
"Me?" Yuuki looked at the woman carefully. "Kaname once said 'No one can be a substitute for another person, that is why farewells are always difficult.'" The woman smiled, her face looking found at the mention of his name.
"That sounds like Kaname, and he is right. Your are not a substitute for me, you are merely someone who I made sure would be put in the right place. To do that I had to touch your soul and every touch leaves finger prints, young Hime." The woman looked away again, still smiling.
"What do you mean 'someone I made sure would be put in the right place'?"
"All souls can be manipulated, with the right amount of power. I made sure you where on the right path, the path to Kaname."
A small flicker of anger ignited in Yuuki. "You used me?"
"No," the woman seemed amused. "Many times you would get mad at Kaname, I just helped to ease your annoyance, I merely speeded up a process in which you where already completing. Now, enough about me, we now focus on Kaname."
Yuuki nodded, her annoyance fading slightly.
"Kaname is a good boy, he always was. He was the most powerful being, he still is. He is also very easily saddened, so you must watch him carefully. And know this: In life or death, he will never leave you." The woman looked away, her shoulder where stiff and sad. "So never leave him, Futatsu no kao no purinsesu*. No matter what he dose, it will always be for you, and don't think he doesn't know something. Also never try to outsmart him, for you will not, but most importantly; never, ever, think he would put himself before you." The woman straightened, her hood falling off her face, and her long blond hair blowing out, her braids seemed to float.
"You where so brave and I see why Kaname loved, loves, you. And I also realize I need to go back, but first may I say goodbye to my parents?" Yuuki started crying again, her cheeks felt soaked, and she longed for the familiar sent of her parents.
"I'm afraid there are not many farewells in The Land of Sleep, and your parents will not bid you a farewell. But I must, Futatsu no kao no purinsesu, goodbye. And tell Kaname this for me;
Anata wa watashi o aishita yō ni torejā kanojo wa, subete no jikan no ōji-sama to, kanojo o aishite iru."
Yuuki nodded, crying harder. "Goodbye, Suna no joō."
The woman smiled, and the sand blew, the fading outline of the woman was the last thing she saw before she re-awoke to the taste of warm blood in her mouth, the feel of his lips, the smell of Kaname, and someone arms tightly around her.
She was home.
