Yuki's POV

"Yuki? Yuki?"

"Yuki! You haven't been out of your room in three days! Don't you think this little temper tantrum of yours has gone one long enough?!"

"Fine, be a baby for all I care." I heard Daddy stomp away from my room. He doesn't understand the pain and sorrow I'm feeling right now. I don't even know if Grell is still alive. Can demons kill reapers with bare fists alone? I'm sure Daddy is strong enough to do it. And that look in his eyes when he saw Grell on top of me. It was pure hatred. But to whom? Me or Grell? I'm guessing it's Grell because he's the one Daddy beat black and blue. But I don't blame Grell for kidnapping me. In fact, I thank him for it. Those days with Grell have been the happiest I've been since Mommy was alive. Mommy...What would you do if you were still alive. Would you be rage-filled like Daddy? Or would you make everything better like you used to do? I don't know what to do. I want to find Grell, but Daddy has me on complete lockdown. I can't leave the mansion without him knowing. I want to see him. I want to know that he's ok.
Knock. Knock.
"Yuki?" I heard Daddy's voice, "Can I come in?" I didn't say anything.
"I'll take that as a yes." I heard the door open and pulled the sheets over my head.
"Yuki, we need to talk," he said pulling the covers off of me.
"Go away," I groaned.
"Why are you acting like this?"
"You wouldn't understand."
"No, I don't understand," Daddy stated, "I mean, c'mon Yuki, you're wearing the same dress! You're acting like a human."
"I am half human."
"Don't remind me," he groaned.
"What the hell is that supposed to mean?!"
"Nothing."
"Does that mean you wish you never met mom?! And never had me?!" I yelled.
"NO! That's not what I mean at all! You know I love you and your mom very much!"
"But you wish you hadn't met mom and just had a full demon child with another demon?!"
"NO!"
"Then what?!"
"We can't help who we fall in love with!" That shut me up.
"Daddy..." I said.
"Do you think I wanted to fall in love with a human?" he said, "But there was just something about your mother that I couldn't resist. At first I thought I wanted her soul, so I made a contract with her." My eyes widened.
"Her wish was to find a man that truly loved her and for him to start a family with her. I never guessed that man would be me. She insisted that our contract be fulfilled, but I couldn't take the soul of the woman I loved." Daddy came and sat next to me on the bed.
"But, I knew me not taking her soul would break the rules of hell," he said grimly, "So I hid us. For seven years I managed to hide us from them. But on that dreadful day they found us and k-killed her."
"But I would've remembered something so horrible," I whispered.
"That's why I erased your memory."
"You what?!"
"You were too young to deal with the pain, so I had to wait until you were older."
"You waited fourteen years?!" I boomed, "I could've handled it!"
"No you couldn't. I don't even think you can handle it now," He wiped my cheek with his thumb, "Your cheeks are covered in tears."
"N-no they're not," I sniffled and cleaned my face.
"You can't fool me. I've been wiping tour tears since you were a baby."
"That's because you're my Daddy," I said happily.
"And you're my little girl," he said wrapping his arms around me. I giggled and hugged him back.
"Hey Daddy?" I finally spoke up.
"Hm?"
"I'm sorry for the way I acted."
"It's alright. Besides," he stood up, "I know now why you acted like that."
"Really? Then why?" I asked confused.
"I'm sorry, but I need to attend to the young master." He started to walk out my room.
"Wait Daddy!" I called to him, "You never answered my question!"
"You'll realize soon enough," He called back.
"Realize what?" but he was already out if sight. I slumped back down on my bed. No point in trying to argue with Daddy. I looked at my clothes and body. I finally noticed that I was giving off an odor. I sighed and got up to take a shower. I washed all the blood and dirt off of myself. I stepped out and wrapped my hair and body in a towel. I looked in the mirror and saw the hickey on my neck. Hopefully Daddy didn't notice this, but Daddy notices everything. I put the hickey out of my mind because it reminded me of Grell. I fixed my hair and put on a simple t-shirt and jeans. I put on a choker necklace to cover up my hickey. I walked out of my room and down the hallway. As soon as I rounds the corner, I was glomped my three bodies.
"Yuki, why did you refuse to leave your room?!"
"We missed you, yes we did!"
"Were you sick?"
"Um...What Finny said! I-I was sick, but I'm better now."
"Oh," they said in unison, "It's good you're better."
"Yeah...Now, as my father would say, get back to work!"
"Yes ma'am," they giggled and ran off.
"Hello Miss. Yuki." I jumped when real-Tanaka appeared behind me.
"Oh, hey Tanaka,"I said smiling.
"Have you made a full recovery?" he asked.
"Recovery? Oh yeah, I was sick...Yes, I feel better now."
"Well, I think you still seem a little sick."
"What do you mean? I feel perfectly healthy," I said confused.
"You have a special," he said smiling, "I've had it, your father has had it, and a million other people around the world have had it. It's a sickness that can be cured by only one person."
"Tanaka, I have no idea what you're talking about."
"Miss Yuki, I'm talking about the sickness called lov-" He reverted back to his smaller self.
"Wait! What's the sickness called?!"
"Ho, ho, ho."
"Sigh...I'll see you later Tanaka," I said and walked to the kitchen. I wonder what kind of 'sickness' he was talking about.
"Oh Yuki." I looked up to see Daddy.
"Hey Daddy."
"Will you take this glass of water to the young master?"
"Sure." I took the glass and walked to Ceil's room. I entered to see Ceil reading a book.
"Hey Ceil," I said setting the glass on his nightstand and sitting on the bed, "Shouldn't you be sleeping?" He didn't say anything.
"Can't sleep?"
"Yes," he sighed closing his book.
"Do you want me to read you the story?"
"Yes," he sighed again. I smiled and grabbed a version of William Shakespeare's Hamlet.
"Act 1..."
~~~One Story Later~~~
I closed the book and placed it on his nightstand. Ceil fell asleep halfway through the story, but I knew he would wake up again if I didn't finish the whole story. I kissed his forehead and tip-toed out of the room. I walked to my room to go to bed. I changed into a silk red pajama dress that came to my fingertips. Red...I crawled into bed and turned off the lights. Seconds later I heard a knock on my door.
"Come in," I sighed. I saw Daddy walk in.
"Hey Daddy," I yawned, "What's up?"
"Coming to say goodnight to my little girl," he said kissing my forehead.
"Daddy, I'm not a little girl anymore!" I giggled.
"You're right judging by the hickey on your neck."
"Oh...um...I forgot about that..."
"It's ok," he smiled, "Just don't go too far."
"Didn't we have this extremely awkward conversation when I was thirteen?"
"I know, but I want to tell yo-" I put my hands over my ears.
"Lalala! I'm not listening!" I said.
"Ok, ok," whispered Daddy, "We don't want to wake the young lord."
"Fine," I giggled, "Goodnight Daddy."
"Goodnight my little girl." He walked out of my room and shut the door. I yawned and laid my head back down on the pillow.
"Well wasn't that cutest father, daughter moment I've ever seen! ~3" My head shot up. I knew that voice anywhere.
"Over here my darling demon." I turned to see the red, flaming, grim reaper kneeling at the side of my bed.
"G-Grell!" I squealed and glomped him.
"Y-you're ok!" I cried, "I-I was s-so worried."
"I missed you too Yuki, but why are you crying?"
"B-Because my Daddy hit y-you and forced me to l-leave you there!"
"Oh that," Grell said, "Nobody can kill a reaper with bare fists. I was fine."
"B-but-"
"Shhh...Calm down," he said wiping my tears, "I'm ok. See, beautiful as ever!" He started striking various poses. I giggled.
"Then if you were perfectly fine," I pondered, "Why didn't you come see me sooner?"
"Oh, I was preparing."
"Preparing for what?" Out of nowhere, Grell was holding a bouquet of roses and a box of chocolates. He took a deep breath and said:
"Yuki, will you go out on a date with me?"
