Trail 22: "Waiting is a trap. There will always be reasons to wait.
The truth is, there are only two things in life, reasons
and results, and reasons simply don't count."
'Winter has come can spring be far behind?'
"What?! You mean to tell me that Yuuki-sama found her brother?" Aidou said in an earsplitting voice.
"Shhh!!" Takuma shushed the blue-eyed blonde noble and looked if anyone else heard them.
"When? Where? And How?" Aidou asked one after another. His eyes became wider after each question. Takuma couldn't help wonder if they would pop out of his sockets any minute.
"Earlier at Sara-hime's mansion, it seems Yuuki-chan has remembered her past." He answered.
"That's impossible!" The blue eyed blond blurted out loudly.
"What's impossible?" A voice interrupted the two blonde.
The two men cocked their head to side and saw two couples going inside the Aidou mansion. They were currently residing in the mansion since the pureblood decided to dwell there.
Takuma understood why the pureblood wanted to stay at the noble's mansion. He knew that going back to the house where memories of Yuuki, would haunt him. He felt really sorry for the pureblood. He knew how shocking it must have been to the pureblood. Not only did he felt that Yuuki left him because she went to look for her brother alone. But the fact that he knew what consequences may occur, disturbed him. Many speculations and gossips about the couple would arise and that would mean more troubles would surface.
He sighed and looked at Aidou. 'Looks like I need to take the cat out of the bag.'He told himself and prepared to retell the story to the new couple when the door opened wide and two new faces faced them.
"Yuuki-sama." The two couple, Rima, Senri, Ruka and Kain, said in unison as they recognized her.
"Where the hell were you?" Ruka inquired immediately after the shock of seeing the pureblood. "Did you know that Kaname-sama was looking for you?"
"Ruka." Takuma called the ashen haired female and caught her attention. He looked at her sadly and signaled her not to say anything anymore. He looked at the pureblood princess.
Yuuki felt the odd stares of her friends. She gulped and felt agitated. How was she going to tell them about what she found out about herself? Where would she start? Would they accept her as whom she is? What about her brother? Would they accept him as well? And what about Kaname, what would he think of her now? Many thoughts came rushing into Yuuki's head and she couldn't help feel angry at herself.
She felt a hand held hers and she looked at the man beside her. She looked at him and he smiled at her. She felt somewhat warm and odd at the same time. Yes, she had no more doubts anymore. This was her brother. The brother she had always loved the one she had long lost but she has found again.
She looked at her friends and looked down. "I'm sorry for troubling you. It's just that I—" Her voice trailed off. She swallowed again and tried to continue her sentence. "I want to know who I am. I know what I did was wrong but then taking such risks were okay since I've found the thing I've been looking for." She looked at her brother and grinned. "This is my long lost brother Daichi. Oniisan these are my friends, they are—"
"Are you kidding me?!" Ruka cut Yuuki's sentence and glared at the brunette menacingly. "You suddenly left us without saying a word and then you come back here with a person who you are claiming as your brother. Do you know how ridiculous you sound Yuuki?" Ruka snapped and looked at Yuuki. There was rage mixed with tears and worry in her eyes.
"I'm sorry." Yuuki said sadly and stared at the ashen haired vampire. "I didn't mean to make you guys worry. I just…"
"And now what? What do you expect from us Yuuki-sama? That we should treat you differently, now you know who you are? And what about Kaname-sama? What do you expect him to say to you—" Ruka blurted out without thinking.
"Ruka." Kain stopped her by placing a hand on her shoulder. "Stop this." He noticed that Ruka's shoulders were shaking.
Ruka slapped his hand and looked at Kain with distain. "No, she has to know how selfish she has become. Aren't we her friends? Should she have trusted us? I'm sure Kaname-sama is really sad right now because of this."
Kain looked sad at the mention of the pureblood. "So even until now, he's still the person who holds your heart." He said in a bitter tone and clenched his fist. "I see." He pulled his hand away from her shoulder and turned around. He walked towards Yuuki and looked at her sadly. "I'm glad you found who you really are Yuuki-sama. We only wish for your happiness." Then he bowed and passed by her.
Ruka bit her lower lip as she figured the reason of Kain's walking out. She bit her lower lip. She turned around and walked towards her room. She didn't even dared to excuse herself from the group.
"Ruka." Yuuki called but the noble vampire just ignored her and continued walking.
"I hope you're happy now Yuuki-sama." Aidou said and turned around as well. He walked up the stairs and headed towards the library. He loudly shut the door as he walked inside the room.
Yuuki knew the blonde noble was angry at her like Ruka. Those two were Kaname's followers and they understood the pureblood very well. She couldn't help sigh at the thought. Then she looked at the remaining three people in front of her.
"Rima… Shiki… I—" Yuuki started as she looked at her close friends.
"Please don't say anything Yuuki… Please." Rima said as if pleading.
Yuuki noticed that her hands were trembling. She looked at her friend's sapphire eyes and perceived that her gaze that used to be warm was now cold.
"I don't want to say anything right now. I know I can't judge you but… I have to let you know I'm quite…" Rima gulped and looked down. "Disappointed." Her usual poker face held a very sad expression.
Senri held Rima's hands and hugged her. Then he looked at Yuuki and said, "Sorry Yuuki. Rima's not really in mood to talk. Maybe we could talk about this some other time." After that he turned around and walked towards the kitchen with Rima.
Before the couple disappeared, Senri's silver eyes met hers and she discerned what he thought of her. 'Rima's hurt because of your news Yuuki.'
She bit her lower lip and looked down. It seems that all her friends were angry and sad at her decision. Was it wrong for her to choose to find who she was by herself? Was knowing who she was, a wrong decision? Why didn't they understand her reason? Why didn't they even try to know her reason? Why didn't they even listen to what she had to say?
"Yuuki." Takuma's gentle voice called out to her and interrupted her thoughts. She cocked her head and looked at him. His face showed no emotions as he stared at her but his green orbs told Yuuki everything.
"I want to talk to Kaname."
Takuma sighed and shook his head. "I'm sorry but I don't think he'll be entertaining anyone right now."
"But I need to. I really need to." She insisted and walked towards the noble. "Takuma, I want to see Kaname. I want to talk to him. I knew he feels that I've betrayed everyone but I was just trying to find out who I was. I already told him that and I'm sure he would understand if you would let me talk with him."
Takuma looked at her sadly and shook his head once more. "I'm sorry Yuuki. I can't."
"I'm begging you." Yuuki pleaded and tried to hold Takuma's hands but he took a few steps backward.
"I'm sorry. It's best if you leave." The blonde told her and closed his eyes. He couldn't bear to see Yuuki's face now but he can't grant her request. He knew that speaking with the person who brought you so much sadness wouldn't make you feel better. Even though Kaname haven't told him not let her in, he felt he had the privileged to do so.
"I won't go until I speak to Kaname!" Yuuki yelled and tried to pass through Takuma but two pair of hands stopped her; One was Takuma's and the other was Daichi's. "Don't stop me, I want to see Kaname! I know that Kaname thinks I've betrayed him but I didn't! I wouldn't want to see him sad. I didn't intend him to feel this way, to make anyone sad or angry at me! I only wanted to know!" Yuuki glared at the two. Tears were already forming in her face but then she tried to be strong. This was not the time to cry and be weak but she couldn't help when the tears fell on her cheeks. She wiped her tears and looked away. She didn't want anyone to see her cry, to see her in such a vulnerable state, and to see in their eyes her pitiful image.
Takuma looked away. He couldn't bear to see the person whom he cherished shed tears. He couldn't help himself pity the Yuuki. He had known her as someone strong and yet now, she was completely vulnerable. He couldn't bear it.
"Yuuki…" Daichi spoke and tried to stop her from sobbing. He glared at the blonde and added. "Are you really Yuuki's friends? Because this is a cruel and cold way to treat your friend."
Takuma looked at Daichi and looked down afterwards. "We don't mean to be this cold or cruel to you Yuuki-chan but then you can't expect people to accept everything that easily. We're very sorry if we offended you. But then, I think it's just as Shiki said. Maybe, tonight is not the best time to talk this over. Everyone is shocked at the news and it would take some time to take this all in." He said calmly and looked up once more at the siblings.
"And how long do you think you guys will need to think this matter over?" Daichi said impatiently.
"That I cannot say…"
After that sentence something passed Takuma and he heard the vase crashed. Takuma was surprised at the fast assault and looked at Daichi with fear.
Yuuki stopped sobbing and looked at Takuma. Just like the broken vase, his face was surprised at the sudden impact.
"Oniisan." Yuuki cried out and looked at her brother. "Why did you do that? You almost hurt Takuma-kun!" There was mixed worry and irritation at her tone.
Daichi looked away from Takuma to Yuuki. His face relaxed and his gaze soften. "I'm sorry. I lost myself. I couldn't help get angry at the fact that they bullied you."
"Oniisan." She couldn't help be happy that her brother was worried about her. He understood her the way her friends didn't. She couldn't help be a little saddened that her friends would do that to her.
"Excuse me." A cold voice entered the conversation as she walked down the stairs. "I have orders from Kaname-sama." The light blue haired female bowed and looked at the three vampires alternately.
"Seiren-san." Yuuki mouthed and looked at the new comer.
"First, he wanted to tell Yuuki-san and her company that he is sorry for not being able to welcome his guests. He realized that he was being rude not to come down but he wasn't feeling very well at this moment. He wanted to tell Yuuki-sama that he can't have a conversation with you right now. He has other matters to attend to. He apologized and hoped you would understand, Yuuki-sama." Seiren stated with a poker face at the brunette.
Yuuki felt her heart being gripped at Kaname's words. It was like a knife was being pushed through her flesh. He didn't want to talk to her and would rather attend to other matters. Was she unimportant to Kaname now? She thought that she was his priority. But most importantly if he wasn't feeling very well, should he rest? Doesn't he need her at such situation? Couldn't she at least check if he was okay?
"Seiren-san, maybe I could help him. If he's sick, he should need someone to care for—"
"There is no need Yuuki-sama. Kaname-sama told me to tell you that if ever you wish to still see him. He said that he wants to be alone for now and only that will cure him. I'm sorry for my rude words but it is his orders." Seiren cut Yuuki's sentence and bowed.
"I see." Yuuki sadly said and decided not to push herself on seeing him. 'He doesn't want to see me.' She thought and looked down. "We should go now, oniisama." She told her brother and walked towards the exit.
Daichi followed Yuuki in silence. As he passed by Takuma, he glared at him. Takuma felt as if he was hanging by a thread as Daichi glared at him. Then as the two purebloods left, Takuma took out a deep breath and grabbed hold on a chair.
"I thought I was going to die…" Takuma stated and sighed.
Seiren stared at Takuma and said, "Kaname-sama wishes to see you Ichijou-san. He said you should go and see him when you're ready. That's all. I'll be going now." After that she bowed and walked away.
Takuma stared at Seiren as she left and sighed once more. 'Everything is topsy-turvy now. Ruka and Kain fighting, Aidou throwing tantrums, Rima trembling in shock and Shiki showing a face as if his pet goldfish died.' He looked at the door where Yuuki left and shook his head. 'Not to mention seeing the side I never thought Yuuki would show. I didn't think that it would end up this way. I wonder if I was to blame for everything that has happened now. If I didn't told Yuuki that Sara-hime might know of the person she was looking for, then she might…' He closed his eyes. '…I'm sorry everyone. I am partly to blame for all of this.' As he opened his eyes, he decided on one thing. He was going to do something to make everything right.
…n…o…s…e…b…l…e…e…d…f…r…o…m…s…u…c…h…a…l…o…n…g…s…c…e…n…e……a…n…d…a…l…s…o…a…t…t…h…e…t…h…o…u…g…h…t…o…f…t…a…k…u…m…a…a…l…m…o…s…t…g…e…t…t…i…n…g…k…i…l…l…e…d...
Daichi looked at the sleeping princess beside him and stroked her head gently. He noticed that her eyes were puffy from crying and the tears that dried in her cheeks.
He couldn't help remembering her, his sister. She too was crying like this. She cried until she thought she couldn't cry anymore.
'I don't understand oniisama.' He could still hear her plea. 'Why can't they understand my point?'
He closed his eyes and stopped stroking Yuuki's hair. His hands clenched to a fist at the memory.
'Damn… I was this close.' He cursed inside his head and opened his eyes with fury. He looked at Yuuki with such distaste. 'I thought that I could steal you easily away from that egoistic and proud pureblood. But it seems I have looked down on him too much. I didn't think he could turn you down like that.'
Then he relaxed and looked away. He stood up and walked towards the door. Before he left the room, he took one last glance at her. 'But I know, soon… he would give you up and then…'
He walked along the corridor and passed by a shadow in the dark.
"Is this a part of your plan, Daichi-sama? I'm surprised that to see what maelstrom you have brewed beneath that calm façade. Tell me, what other cards have you set for Kaname?" The shadow spoke as he passed by.
He stopped and didn't even try to glance at her. "Do you want to know, Sara-hime?" He coaxed her.
Sara frowned at his tone. "It seems as if your cards don't seem effective enough."
This time he faced her with a sadistic grin. "Yes, but with your help. I'm sure it'll be successful."
Sara crossed her arms in front of her chest and grinned. "Will this ensure my throne as queen?"
Daichi irked at the title she addressed herself. But nevertheless, he tried to smile back at her. "Of course. And I'm sure that this time, even Kaname can't say no to you."
Sara grinned at the thought and giggled with excitement. "I can hardly wait to help you in your plan, Daichi-sama." Then she whispered something near his ear. "I will prepare a feast for you and your sister if that happens. A feast Yuuki would never forget."
Daichi's lips crooked to a smile at the thought.
…………………………………o…m…g…w…h…a…t…t…h…e…h…e…l…l…a…r…e…t…h…e…y…p…l…a…n…n…i…n…g………………o…h…n…o……………………….………………………
"I'm sorry Kaname." Takuma apologized and looked down. "This is my entire fault. If I knew this would have happened, then I wouldn't—"
"Don't blame yourself Takuma." Kaname said and sighed. "I understood why Yuuki did this and I'm not angry as you think I am nor am I sad at her decision. I knew this was coming, I had felt that she would choose her past rather than me." He closed his eyes and stood up. He walked towards the window and looked at the scenery outside.
"But… I know how it must have shocked you. I know that you would expect at some point that she would still choose you in the end." Takuma added and looked at the pureblood.
"I did and I can't help be disappointed at that mishap." Kaname uttered sadly and closed his eyes.
Takuma scolded himself at what he just said. 'I shouldn't have said that. I should have told him that there's a chance that Yuuki would change her mind. Yes, that's right.'
"Kaname I think there's a chance that Yuuki will—" The blonde tried to be positive.
"No. I know Yuuki; she's a hard metal to mold. The more you tell her not to do something rash, the more she does it." The pureblood glanced at the noble and wryly smiled.
"But… something feels not right Kaname-kun. It seems unbelievable to think that what happened was just a mere coincidence. Seeing Yuuki, then bringing her to Sara-hime's mansion and then… reuniting with her brother. Do you think this is what fate has written for her?" Takuma spoke out his mind and looked at Kaname with curiosity. "Was this all a mere coincidence?"
Kaname sighed and shook his head. "That I cannot explain, Takuma-kun." Then he walked towards his seat and sat. He interlaced his fingers and looked at his friend. "I cannot jump easily to conclusions."
"I know. But… I believe that something is wrong Kaname. I will try to find out what's going on Kaname. I won't easily accept that guy as Yuuki's brother because…" Takuma looked down and sadly added, "because… if he was her real brother then that would mean." He looked away and stopped. 'He has the right to take Yuuki away from us, especially from you—Kaname.'
Silence enveloped the two for a while.
Then suddenly, Kaname spoke up. "Ruka, how long are you going to stand there?"
The noble vampire outside twitched. Somehow, it sounded like dejávu to her. Didn't the same sentence before to her? She wanted to laugh at herself. She was back to square one again. No wonder, he told her that. She hesitated at first if she would leave or enter, but the latter won. She opened the door and walked inside.
She bowed at the pureblood and excused herself, "I'm sorry to disturb your conversation with Ichijou-san, Kaname-sama."
"Ruka…" Takuma whispered and looked her sadly. He noticed that her eyes were red and puffy. He couldn't help wonder if she and Kain had patched up.
"And I'm sorry as well for over hearing your conversation." She guiltily added and looked down.
Kaname simply looked at her and sat there in silence.
"I had said some cruel words to Yuuki-sama… I'm really sorry Kaname-sama. It's just that I felt she betrayed you and everyone. We were worried and yet it seems she didn't care about it. But at the same time, I also felt sad that she didn't even try to ask help from us and I—" She bit her lower lip and tried to held back the tears slowly forming in her eyes. "I didn't even try to listen to her." She interlaced her fingers and looked down as she continued, "And to think that she considered me as a friend. I feel awful. I should have tried to understand her…"
Takuma walked towards Ruka and patted her shoulder. He wryly smiled as if telling her that what she felt was only proper and he too felt that way.
"It's alright Ruka. You were only being verbal to your feelings." Takuma tried to calm her down. "I'm sure Yuuki would understand why you said those words."
"B-but—I was so mean to her." Ruka spoke and glanced at Takuma and Kaname. She felt guilty and looked down afterwards.
Then a hand patted Ruka's head. Takuma was surprised to see who the owner was. He took his hand away from Ruka's shoulder and smiled.
Ruka glanced at the owner of the hand and saw another person she felt guilty to. "Akatsuki… I'm sorry. I'm sorry. I'm sorry…" She sobbed and hugged her lover. She let the tears that formulated in her eyes fall down.
"You should be saying that to Yuuki-sama not to me Ruka." Kain stated and hugged the ashen haired female back. Then he looked behind him and added, "Right, Hanabusa?"
A blonde behind the Kain sighed and nodded. "Yeah, yeah..."
Takuma couldn't help tease Aidou at his statement. "Then why are you pouting? Hmmm… could it be you're jealous that Kaname-kun noticed Ruka-san when she stayed there at the door but then when it was you, he didn't even notice you?" Afterwards, he laughed and tried to evade Aidou's death glare.
"Ichijou-san, you're teasing Aidou-san again?" A sleepy voice entered the room together with a cherry blonde female.
Aidou looked at Senri and was surprised to see him. "What happened to your face?"
Senri glanced at Rima before looking back at Aidou. "None of your business."
"Could it be Rima-chan kissed you till it turned out like that?" Takuma guessed and teased. It was too bad though that Rima didn't even express a feeling of embarrassment.
Rima merely looked at Takuma and replied, "I hit him. This was his entire fault anyway; if he didn't even try to play go fish with Aidou-kun then maybe Yuuki wouldn't be in this predicament."
Takuma, Ruka, Kain and Aidou were surprised to hear that Rima was guilty about what they did to Yuuki.
"She had been like that ever since Yuuki-err—Yuuki-sama left." Senri stated and looked at the four nobles. Then he looked at his cousin and added, "Kaname-sama… we all heard what you and Ichijou-san had talked about and- Rima and I believe that we shouldn't easily give up on Yuuki-sama. We believed that something is amiss as well."
Kaname looked at his cousin and then replied, "So what do you suggest we do, Shiki?"
Senri looked at Rima before answering, "We need investigate. Yesterday, in the Shirabuki manor while following Ichijou-san we discovered something."
"Something?" Kaname repeated.
"Yes." Rima answered in behalf of Senri. She took out something from his pocket and showed it to the group.
"That is a pendant." Aidou mouthed as he looked at what Rima was holding.
"Anyone can see that Einstein." Ruka scoffed and rolled his eyes at the blue-eyed blonde.
"I'm just saying, ice queen." Aidou barked back and glared at the ashen haired female.
"Ruka, Hanabusa…" Kain warned the two.
Ruka and Aidou stopped their glaring competition and looked away from one another.
"I recognized that pendant." Takuma suddenly spoke and went closer to Rima.
Kaname eyed on Takuma and wait for his next sentence.
"I saw that pendant from one of the painting in the Shirabuki manor." The blonde blurted out and examined the necklace.
"Are you sure?" Aidou inquired.
"I am sure. This is definitely the pendant I saw." Takuma said with guarantee.
"Takuma is right." Kaname agreed and stood up from his seat. "That is the pendant of a known pureblood clan. And if my memory serves me right… that pendant is not a good sign for us." He frowned and looked at Takuma.
Takuma nodded at Kaname and said, "I'll go to the Shirabuki manor and spy on Sara and this guy called Daichi. I'm sure I can find some clues there."
"Wouldn't that be dangerous Ichijou-san?" Ruka asked with a hint of worry.
"I'll be fine. This is the least I can do for Kaname and Yuki's sakes." The blonde smiled genuinely at his friends.
Rima and Senri looked at one another and nodded. "We'll come with you Ichijou-san." Senri uttered.
"Thank you, you two." Takuma stated and then closed his eyes. "But… I think it would better if you didn't come with me."
"Ichijou-san." Rima said in a whisper and looked at the noble.
Takuma smiled at Rima gently and sighed. "I'll be fine. I know what Sara is capable of…"
"Somehow, what you said doesn't assure your safety, Ichijou-san." Aidou gulped and frowned at the thought.
Takuma laughed and bid goodbye to his friends. "See you." He said and waved farewell.
The group looked at Takuma, remains of worry still on their faces as he left.
Then after a few minutes, Kaname called Rima and Senri's attention. "I need you two to spy on Takuma."
Rima and Senri looked at the pureblood with confusion. Without saying anything, the two understood his thoughts. The couple nodded at him and said, "As you wish Kuran-sama." After that the two turned around and left.
Aidou looked at Kaname after the couple had left. "Why did you order them to do that Kaname-sama?" The clueless blonde asked.
Kaname looked at Aidou and replied, "I cannot say my intentions on doing that for now, Aidou. But what I can tell you is that those three know what they are doing and they can take care of themselves. So you don't need to worry about them." Then his face turned grim at his next sentence, "But then I cannot assure that the next days will be appealing to us."
"What do you mean Kaname-sama?" Ruka asked with worry. "Are you initiating that there's going to be new problems?"
"If that is the case, shouldn't we get ready Kaname-sama?" Aidou added.
"I fear that we can't escape the storm we're going to face, for it has already begun." Kaname answered and looked at the three. "Can I count on you three? I know I've put too much load on your shoulders and I would understand if you would reject my request."
"You should know by now where our loyalty stands Kaname-sama." Kain stated and spoke in behalf of his lover and cousin.
"Thank you." Kaname wryly smiled at the three. Then he felt Seiren's presence, he looked at where she entered and awaited her report.
"Kaname-sama… I fear that they have started to move." Seiren bowed and informed the pureblood.
"They?" Aidou curiously repeated and raised a brow at Seiren.
Kaname looked at the window and sighed. "I have feared this would happen."
"Kaname-sama, what's going on?" Ruka fidgeted and looked at the pureblood with worry.
Kaname looked at the three sadly and said, "Starting today, Yuuki is no longer under my care."
Ruka covered her mouth with her hands while Aidou cursed and Kain closed his eyes with disappointment.
"But why?" Aidou asked. "How could that have happened?" He looked at Seiren. He waited for her answer.
"The elder vampires have heard of the news of Yuuki's origin and decided without any consent from Kaname-sama to abolish their marriage." Seiren told them with a poker face. Although no expressions could be seen in her face, the three knew that she was also surprised and displeased with the sudden turn of events.
"How is that possible Kaname-sama? Shouldn't you go talk to the Vampire Council and make them change their mind?" Aidou questioned the pureblood with respect. He knew he shouldn't tell the pureblood what he should do but he couldn't help asking his stillness over the current situation. It seems only proper that he react violently at the decision made by the council.
Silence was the only answer Kaname gave him. He was about to speak up when he heard his cousin's voice.
"If he did that Hanabusa, then he would lose their loyalty. They would think that the pureblood doesn't trust them. At the same time, they would think that Kaname-sama disregards their position as council of the vampire race." Kain answered his cousin and sighed. "And I believe that is what they expect Kaname-sama to do."
"Drats… they have planned this all along." Ruka cursed and bit her thumb lightly. "They knew that Kaname would do anything to stay with Yuuki-sama."
"Are you saying that they're doing this to get rid of Kaname-sama?" Aidou angrily stated at the thought.
"You are really slow Hanabusa… Kaname-sama is not their target." Kain scolded his cousin and stared at him.
"You mean…" Aidou slowly grasped the situation and gasped. His blue eyes widened at the realization.
"Kaname-sama…" Ruka looked at the pureblood with worry. She knew that Kaname was furious at the sudden turn of events. She wanted to help him, she wanted to help Yuuki and yet she felt hopeless that she could not do anything to relieve them.
"Yuuki is in danger and yet I cannot do anything to help her." Kaname stated and clenched his hand to a fist.
Ruka could see the whiteness in his hands as he clenched. 'I'm sure Kaname-sama feels a lot worse than me.' She thought and bit her lower lip. After a while, she realized what she should do. She looked at Kaname and spoke, "I think I have an idea Kaname-sama."
Kaname glanced at the ashen haired female and let her speak her thoughts to them.
…xoxo…to be continued.
A/N: What could Ruka be planning? What will Kaname do? Will Yuuki be forever separated from Kaname, hope not… And who was behind the treachery in the Vampire Council? Read it on the next chapter…
