25:Rumor has it…
I don't own V.K and it belongs to its rightful owners anything else belongs to NR13
The sun wakes me up and I groan as I squint under the brightness. I roll onto my side, cover my eyes with my hair. He shakes my shoulders making me groan in protest.
"Akahanna," he whispers.
"What?" I snap back wanting to go and answer the call of sleep awaiting me.
"Well you know how you brought up about you getting the taming tattoo?" that wakes me up. I look at him
"What about it? I only mentioned that once like what when I was nearly dead?" he smirks, "What are you laughing at?"
"You're so cranky in the mornings and well I talked to Toga about it and he said it was fine only if you want to. Also that you need to talk to your parents about it." I put my head down then make a noise in protest. "What's wrong?" he attempts to look at me but I don't budge. "Akahanna…" he says in a singsong voice. I laugh then I look at him stretching my back.
"Zero I need to tell you something." I answer seriously, his eyes grow big.
"Ohmigod you're pregnant." I sit up right then punch him on the shoulder.
"NO! I mean we haven't even done THAT but it wouldn't have happened unless-" we stare at each other then like in the movie "White Chicks" we press our bodies together
and say in unison
"WE DID IT IN A TREE!" we laugh hysterically then we laugh quietly.
"No okay Akahanna Ceil what are you going to tell me." I confess about my dad's offer and he stays quiet. "What are you going to do?"
"I don't know, well what about that taming tattoo?" he nods then we climb down head our separate ways then agree to meet up back at his room.
I open the door to my room and it's Sakura. "Oh I didn't think I'd see you here." I say as she rises from my bed.
"You know you always had had that habit of having your room an 'organized mess'." She attempts to joke but she looks away. I hug her hard then I mumble
"I'm so sorry Mom." She pets my hair then hugs me back.
"I should have told you sooner I'm sorry I didn't want you to find about your mother and I'm sorry."
"It's okay, I understand but I want to know why?" she wipes her eyes with the heel of her palm.
"So are you coming back to the Estate?" she changes the subject then I pull away.
"I don't know honestly." She plays with my lock
"What did you do sleep in a tree?" she pulls a leaf out of my hair. I snicker, "I missed you so much and you're in love aren't you?" I look at her then she giggles. "I knew it."
"Knew what?" I ask; does she know what I've done already with Zero?
"That's why you don't want to go home because you got a boyfriend!" she teases me poking me motherly. I blush
"Do NOT."
"What's his name? I bet it's something sexy like Isamu,(means bravery) Keigo, (respect), or even Keizo (wise keep)-" she's out off by the sound of my door opening
"Nope, none at all Aunt." Aunt? I look to see who it is and Ohmigod.
"It's been awhile Kaname." Sakura smiles.
"Wait what?" I ask dumbfounded.
"Akahanna Kaname's my nephew." I stare at her,
"So you're a Kuran?!" she nods
"Yes but I know I don't like one but my father's genes were a bit different then the rest of the family's."
"So you marry your arch enemy for centuries and raise his daughter that wasn't yours?" I slam my hand over my mouth because her face softens like if she's going to die.
"Anyways so I heard you two got in a bloodbath." She changes the subject giving a hard gaze at Kaname who I'm assuming is my technically "cousin".
"Ah Aunt Sakura you're always so demanding well I guess it's like daughter like mother." He smiles but I want to barf. I dated my cousin did some things with him that's TABOO for families and he knew about it but continued! I shake my hands in the air at my theory and they stare at me.
"Mom we need to TALK." I pull her out of the room and into the Night Class's buildings into our library so we can be alone. "Mom how did you let me date Kaname if he was your nephew?!" I demand
"He technically isn't your cousin he isn't related to you so I thought there was nothing wrong about it and when his parents were alive they wanted you to carry on the family's name."
I run my fingers in my hair "Yeah but I mean it's taboo well anyways how did you fall in love with Dad if Ceil and Kuran were/are arch enemies?" she smiles
"I'm not going to lie when we were younger we hated each other I mean I couldn't stand him the way how he could just forgive people so easily and how he can always find a reason to smile despite what Amber was doing to him; but I always wished that I could be like that because things weren't going too hot for me either with my fiancé but opposites attract." She smiles looking out of the window. "So who is your knight in shining armor?" I smirk because he is the knight in Kaname's game.
"Zero Kiryu." I smile but her eyes flicker darkly.
"The Vampire Hunter? The son of the Kiryu Dou?" I nod then she sighs, "Does he know you're a vampire because I don't want him to make you turn him when he finds out."
"He's a vampire…" I mumble.
"What?! That means he's a Level E!" I explain about what happened and about how he got the Hunter's Sigil (taming tattoo) and how I want to get it.
"It's your life Akahanna I can't tell you how to live it so it's fine with just promise me something." She cups my cheek with the palm of her hand.
"What?"
She swallows then continues "My brother Rido is awakening from his blood prison in one of the facilities and I want you to help stop him so learn how to use the Hunter's magic to save yourself when Rido acts again."
