Hi guys! Sorry for such a long pause in the story! I hope that you all had a wonderful Christmas/holiday season and happy new year. I have been looking for jobs and celebrated my birthday two weeks ago. (26 if you're curious) :) Thank you all so much for the lovely comments, I love reading them. I am now writing chapter 13. Anyway, here is chapter 12!

Yuki would have sworn that when she entered the bed chamber, it had been empty, and yet her elder brother stood a few feet from her, leaning against the wall. His dark hair hanging in his eyes, eyes that were entirely focused on her. He wore black dress pants and shoes while a white dress shirt covered his upper frame. The buttons close to his collar were undone, exposing his pale neck to her and she couldn't help but stare while frozen in place. She hadn't sensed him in the room when she entered moments ago. Was she too tired perhaps? Or was her mind focused on other things...other people.

"Kaname." She barely squeaked his name, her gaze locked with his.

"How was your weekend, Yuki?" His voice was soft and sensual.

"Oh, it was...good, thank you." She tried to smile but couldn't, shock still on her face.

His eyes were glued to hers and she couldn't break the staring contest they were having, goosebumps breaking out over her skin.

"Did you stay out of trouble?" He questioned her in a slightly lower tone while his eyes pierced her.

"I, I did..." She stuttered.

Kaname remained serious as he stood up straight, his back parting from the wall. Yuki felt her heart race under his stare, almost wishing that he would look away.

"On top of all the danger you got yourself in to yesterday, you still feel it appropriate to lie to me, Yuki."

Her heart was racing in her chest, beating savagely against her ribcage while her mouth went dry. He knew. Of course he would know. Now she would have to endure his decided punishment. She decided to try and explain what had happened, but just as her lips parted, her luggage on the bed behind her flew against the far wall, spilling its contents on the floor. She jumped, absolutely terrified by his expression, her eyes wide.

"Onii-sama, I..."

A force threw her backwards on to the bed before she could respond any further and she cried out. Her arms laid at each side of her head while her hair spread out around her face on the sheets under her. She attempted to sit up but remained pinned down on the bed by the force, her chest rising and falling as her lungs tried to feed air to her hammering heart. He walked over to the bed and slowly crawled on top of her, lowering his mouth to her right ear.

"You played detective, tried to save the day by facing a deadly stranger, and..." His eyes shut for a moment and when they opened again, glowed a fierce shade of red, "Gave the hunter a gift."

She couldn't speak, even if she wanted to, her mouth was too dry. Her lips parted slightly as her terrified eyes stared in to her brother's. She heard him inhale deeply, taking in her sweet scent, his nose making its way down her neck to her shoulder. He sighed before raising himself slightly to undo the top buttons on her blouse, exposing her smooth alabaster neck to him. She was completely defenseless, glued to the bed by the force he imposed on her. His head lowered once again to her neck, his warm tongue licking its length. She gasped as his tongue made its way down to where her neck met her shoulders and then, without warning, he sunk his sharp fangs into the spot. She inhaled sharply, pain initially overwhelming her while still unable to move. He drank deeply, gulping her lifesource without restraint, his adam's apple steadily moving as he swallowed.

"Kaname..." She whispered at last, weakness overcoming her.

His fangs parted from her neck as he raised himself above her to gaze at her beauty. She was extremely tired, he could see that clearly. The attack had greatly reduced her strength and his indulgance wasn't reviving it at all. He stared at her cheek, a mark barely visible ran across it. It had hurt her so much in that moment during the attack, she had screamed out. He had seen it. He softly ran his fingertips along the mark and when they parted again from her skin, the mark was gone. At the same time, the red glow within his eyes vanished, revealing a soft and concerned stare. He then turned to her right arm, which had also been injured. He pulled up the sleeve of her dress and brushed his pale fingertips along her arm, erasing the injury, before his beautiful gaze made their way down to her flat abdomen concealed beneath the mauve dress. Her hips curved slightly and he admired this shape greatly. He reached down and slid the bottom of her dress slowly up her legs and theighs, exposing her slender milky legs to him. Her expression seemed surprised, but she was too weak to protest. He slid her dress higher still, up her waist to her stomach, and then stopped. With her hips exposed to him, his face fell deadly serious as his eyes locked on to her worst injury. Her right side was extremely bruised and healing slowly while looking extremely painful. She confirmed the pain when he brushed his fingers over her bruises by wincing. His heart broke at the sight of her suffering and he quickly healed the injury.

Upon realising what he had done, Yuki smiled softly and breathed a soft thank you to her brother. No sooner had she spoke when she felt the force that was pinning her so forcefully to the bed disappear, leaving her to only feel Kaname's weight upon her. She moved her fingers lightly before bringing her arms up around his neck, pulling him softly to her.

"Yuki." He spoke her name in the softest tone, "Take what you need."

She didn't need to be told twice, and instantly her fangs pierced her brother's neck, taking as much of his addictive blood as she could. To taste him once again was sheer bliss, his blood was strong and sweet with a slight undertone of rich spices. It mercifully quenched her parched throat before being absorbed by her starving body. She could taste his concern and worry for her, along with an undying love and...jealously? Why would that emotion be present? Her fangs slowly parted from his neck as she directed a curious glance at him.

"Kaname?"

His weight shifted on her as he brought his lips to hers, sealing his mouth over hers in a hungry kiss. Her eyes widened as his tongue parted her lips to gain entry to her mouth, their tongues performing a desperate dance. Her kiss tasted exquisite and he wanted more, deepening their kiss while his left hand rose to her head and threaded his long fingers through her hair. The need to drown himself in her was nearly overwhelming as he continued his passionate kiss, he noticed that she wasn't protesting at all. But would she protest? He wondered. She would probably allow him to do whatever he wished to do to her, even if she didn't feel comfortable with it. His lovely and submissive Yuki, beautiful yet fragile, and curious and innocent. His mind wandered back to shortly before she had left to visit Cross Academy and what had taken place. His hands steadying himself against the wall while watching her mouth move along his arousal. The feeling had been extraordinary, and he craved it again. During that moment, she had been curious and he had allowed her to explore, only to feel horrible guilt afterwards. Yuki however, seemed extremely pleased that she had made him experience pleasant feelings.

Their kiss broke and they parted for air, his left hand sill in her soft hair. She was aroused now, he could detect it on a variety of levels; her breathing had become more laboured while her cheeks were deeply flushed. She looked irresistable in that moment and he had to force restraint on himself. He could taste the arousal in her kiss and see it on her face. He could smell it as well and the scent threatened to drive him mad. He wanted to give in this time, completely let go and sucumb to his desires. He could see it in his mind clearly, sinking himself in to her depths, the two of them finally becoming one. His dark tangled tresses hung in his eyes that were now glowing red once again while his hot breath touched her face.

"Yuki..." He breathed her name with desperation.

Her large eyes gazed in to his as she lay perfectly still beneath him, daring not to move under his gaze. She could sense a conflict within him, but was unsure of how to respond to this realisation. Suddenly, his lips crashed down upon hers once more, deeply and desperately, tasting as much of her as he could. Then, as quickly as the kiss had begun, it ended as he lifted himself from her and left the room. This time, she wasn't clouded in confusion, but surrounded with clarity. She knew what he wanted and why he was probably holding back. Now all she had to do was show her brother that she wanted the same thing. She sighed softly as his name delicately escaped her swollen lips.

"Kaname..."
