Chapter 11: "I'm playing the game..."

Kaname woke up on the porch to find the sun rise, he was sad to know that last night was the last night he'll see the moon. But he pulled himself together as he stood up and flashed to the forest, he needed to find the band of 7, if that was what they were called. He stopped and thought about what he thought about last night, was it really a good idea?

Flashback: to when Yuki left to go back to bed.

Yuki walked in and saw everyone "Asleep" and sighed in relief. She didn't want them to see Kaname at his time in weakness. His time of need, and insecurity. She laid back down in her sleeping bag and went to sleep. Her thoughts only on Kaname.

Kaname was still standing thinking

'I'll be myself Yuki, but will you still love me...?'

He sighed as he looked at the moon, wishing he saw all of this coming from the Headmaster, but... one thing bothered him, how did he find out? Kaname stood there thinking as he looked at the moon, Miroku came out and said

"Lord Kaname, what is it that has you so riled up?"

Kaname didn't look at him as he said

"My problems are to interposer to human minds, but if you wish to know, my deepest secret, the one no one knew about, is out in the open to the Headmaster Cross and Kagome's mother. They are in great danger knowing it..."

"Who are they in danger from? And how do they know?" Miroku asked worried, suddenly understanding why Kaname was second guessing himself. His deepest secret was found out some how, and he didn't know how.

Kaname looked at him and said, narrowing his eyes.

'They are in danger from me, and a... friend of mine. And how they know is a mystery to me."

Miroku flinched at how Kaname was looking at him, he was warning him to stay away from his matters, effectively blocking his heart from Miroku. But something hit Miroku in the head and he thought

'Wait? From him?'

He was about to ask why, but Kaname's eye's turned red in anger as he said

"Do not get in my way when it comes to protecting Yuki and from killing who ever needs to die... Understood?"

Miroku gulped and nodded as Kaname walked away from him and he felt his cold aura.

'Why is he pushing us away from him?' Miroku thought as he followed Kaname.

Kaname stopped and sat down on the porch again as Miroku went inside, to find Kagome, Shippo and Sango trembling fearfully and Inuyasha holding them in his lap, trying to calm them by saying, he and Kaname were friends and that they shouldn't worry. But Miroku couldn't help but feel afraid of the powerful Pureblood as well. He only seemed to care for Yuki, and that was the only reason why he was here in the first place. He sighed and went to sleep with the fear of being watched.

Kaname sensed their fear but he didn't care, he was protecting them and he knew now, that it was Naraku who was watching them with that bug, as he sensed its presence.

'So he watches with the Band of 7? I'll play the game Naraku, and I'll win.'

He stood up and whispered heatedly and with red eye's, playing the role of an unhappy camper.

"If they get in my way, then I'll kill them all if only to protect my secret and Yuki..."

He spun around with an evil aura that EVERYONE in the village felt, either asleep or wake. Kaname walked to the woods and stopped at the well. He knew that the bug had followed and he smiled mentally, thinking

'Fall in my trap, the spider said to the fly...'

Kaname made it look like he was thinking of destroying the well but thought better of it and whispered

"If I do this, then... no, I can't-!"

He turned around fearfully as he as he thought

'I was really thinking of destroying it!' But he calmed himself as he thought 'Play the part Naraku wants to see.'

He straightened his clothes and walked back to the house calmly when he got back he sat on the porch and thought

'Need to find the band of 7, and convince them I'm on their side.'

With Naraku and Bankotsu, they have been watching the whole time, but not seeing Kaname's kindness with Yuki, but only seeing his coldness towards Miroku and what he had just done.

Bankotsu smiled and said

"He struggles with his evil side, even though he wishing to kill Inuyasha and his group. I think he'll be a great addition don't you think Naraku?"

Naraku smiled and said

"I do, very much. We need someone with his power."

They laughed evilly as they watched Kaname sleep restlessly.

End of flashback:

Kaname sighed and said to himself and without Naraku or Bankotsu knowing it, to them.

"If I find Inuyasha's enemy's, the Band of 7 and this Naraku fellow, I'll be able to protect Yuki..."

He felt a sharp pain hit him in his heart and stomach and he bent over groaning in pain. He closed his eye's and whispered calmly but with hints of pain.

"What is this? *Maon of pain* Is this pain blood thirst? No. Can't be I had blood tables yesterday-" he stopped himself and his eye's widened as he said heatedly

"Narizona's village is in danger! And I gave my word to help only because of Yuki, now I'm feeling the pain from yesterday! Fuck..." he said as he held his head and fell on his side, he vision was filled with blood and he couldn't think clearly.

He tried to get up but he couldn't move any more than his fingers.

"Whats happening to me?" he asked himself as he felt a strong pain hit his head.

He took a deep breath until it went away, but suddenly he felt hands gently touch him and people ask worriedly

"Lord Kaname are you all right?" (Sango)

"Kaname you fool!" (Inuyasha)

"Kaname!" (Shippo)

"What happened?" (Miroku)

But someone whispered gently in his ear,

"Kaname, you haven't healed have you? Silly... you are better than this Kaname, you know it and I know it. Now drink." Yuki whispered lovingly as he cut her wrist veins and placed her wrist next to his mouth. Kaname didn't think as he sucked the blood on her wrist, everyone was confused as Yuki laid her head on Kaname's gently, humming a gentle tone as she held him to her with her right hand. Kaname stopped when it felt right and just closed his eyes as he laid his head on the ground and went into a healing sleep.

Yuki raped her wrist up in a banged as Kagome asked her

"How did you know that'll help him?"

"I've been around Vampire's my whole life, and since Kaname stayed up most of the night, he never healed. And so his head never had the chance to think about healing since he was so riled up last night."

Inuyasha and Miroku looked at each other and thought the same thing as they thought about his evil aura last night.

'He was frightening some we didn't sense...'

"Is vampire's this fragile?" Sango asked her and Yuki smiled

"Yes and no. You see, weaker vampires when they touch the sun die and turn to ash. Some can stay out in the light for a period of time and not die but get sun burned. It just depends on how strong they are. The only reason Kaname is weak right now is because he hit his head yesterday when fighting that mole demon. The only thing that can kill a vampire is when you decenergrat their body beyond their capability to heal, or if you servilely hurt their head, or if you cut their heart beyond repair.

"If they are a Pureblood like Kaname, he can regenerate his body over a period of time and still live. Normally he doesn't get hurt, this isn't the Kaname I know right now, but give him time to get used to things and he'll be the Kaname we all know and love in the future."

They all nodded as they rolled over the information, Naraku smiled as he thought

'This Kaname is strong, and that girl loves him very much, just like he does her. If I can recruit him then I'll be unstoppable.'

Narizona walked over to them and asked

"When can we go and save my village?"

Before anyone could say anything, Kaname opened his eyes and groaned as he looked straight up in the sun. He wanted to sleep, but hearing Narizona woke him up. He sat up and looked at where Naraku's bug was, he made it looked like he didn't see it as he said to Narizona

"We'll go when I say we can."

Inuyasha growled and said

"I'm the leader here Kaname! Watch it!"

Kaname smiled as the girls seemed to notice his acting with Miroku. Kaname sighed and said to Inuyasha while he unsteadily stood up.

"Inuyasha, I'm not poaching on your territory, but I think it would be better if I tell you when I'm fit for travel. That's all I meant, nothing else."

When he said that he felt back on his knees and hands as he gripped his head, groaning in the sharp pain. Yuki was rubbing his back as he thought

'It's not my head, but it seems the memories of Yuki's vampire side is hurting me. If I don't turn her back, then her vampire side will come out by itself, and my inner beast is warning me.'

"Kaname, are you alright?" Narizona asked as she bent down in front of him, having missed him drinking blood.

Kaname looked up at her and said

"I'm not answering that. If I'm in pain, am I alright? It's common sense!" he yelled and Narizona gaped in horror, as Yuki just held Kaname to her, trying to calm him.

Not one of them knew Kaname was auditioning to be Naraku's new play toy as they argued with the Pureblood on why he was acting so strange, but Yuki as she was about to give Kaname her opinion when she realized something.

'Kaname... your playing chess... but with who? What are you getting at? Is there something I'm missing?'

"See Kaname? Even Yuki-Chun is speechless to your behaver." Miroku said to him as he put his arm around her shoulder, pulling her on their side, leaving Kaname alone.

Sudden anger rushed through Yuki, as she saw a flash of red in her vision. She hissed and pulled Miroku's face down to meet her right knee. Yuki then kicked him where it hurt, when he was on the ground coughing, Yuki hissed down at him like a vampire.

"I don't ever recall being on your side... I'm here for one reason and one reason only... to figure out what to do when I get back to my time, and how I go back home... *Hiss* I'm helping you guys with Naraku and this Band of 7 because it's the right thing to do. BUT! I will NEVER join your side when it comes to dissing Kaname. So what he's acting funny. He has every right to have bad days! *Hiss*..."

Everyone's eye's widened as they saw Yuki's eyes turn red but before they could tell her, she turned and stomped off towards Kaname's side. They all watched as Kaname quickly reached out and cupped Yuki's right cheek. They watched as her eye's turned brown again and she fell unconscious next to Kaname.

"What just happened?" Sang asked Kaname, but Kaname, still auditioning for Naraku, just looked at her, and then at Yuki's face.

"None of your business." he snapped.

Sango gasped and got angry, as Inuyasha smelled something in Kaname's scent, it wasn't hate like it should be, but it was more along the lines of sadness, regret, and worry. Then it hit him as he thought

'He must know, just doesn't think we should know. Like last night, he's trying to push us away.'

Kaname sighed as he got up with Yuki in his arms, he was going to have to turn her into her vampire self. Soon your else it'll come out by itself and kill everyone she sees. Kaname walked deeper into the forest and said to them

"I must help her, do not follow for your own safety."

When they disappeared, Miroku asked

"Why did Kaname-Kun get better when Yuki-Chun was unconscious?"

"It must be something with her getting red eyes..." Kagome said as she picked up her bow and a bow. She then quickly raised it up and shot Naraku's bug down as it tried to fly after them.

"He was watching us this whole time?" Sango asked and Inuyasha said

"It'll explain why Kaname was acting weird."

They all nodded and went back to the village to fine Narizona.
