"Nothing at all Max, Hiroaki just stopped by to say hello and to catch up. We haven't seen each other in a long time," I said, trying to sound cool. I could not help but feel uneasy. For one thing, Hiroaki mentioning Kaname, and for the other, Max.
"Well that's very nice of you Mr. Aido, but Vivien and I were just on our way to lunch," Max says.
"That's no way to talk to Mr. Aido Max, after all, he has been nothing but kind to my family, and for that I will always be grateful" I respond in a sharp tone. Despite my knowing Max for years, I did not like the tone of voice he was using on Hiroaki. What was he…my husband?
"Forgive me Vivien, it's just that he's associated with Mr. Watanabe, and frankly I'm not that fond of him" Max says to my astonishment.
"But Max… yo-"
"I liked him for Rosalie's sake, nothing more. Forgive me for being rude Vivien, Mr. Aido but that's the way I feel" Max says in a serious tone.
"No need to apologize Mr. Kobayashi, after all my master tends to get that a lot from gentlemen such as yourself," Hiroaki says with a smirk on his face. This conversation had me nervous. There was something I was oblivious to, but what?
"Boys will be boys I guess, well if you two don't mind, I rather walk around town on my own" I said, hoping they would not say a word.
"Vivien, what about our lunch date?" Max asks.
"Don't worry, I was just leaving… but I will be back another day to see you Vivien, if you don't mind that as" Hiroaki says, taking my hand in his.
"Not at all Hiroaki, you're welcome here and at our home anytime," I said with a smile. He lightly kisses my hand and bows.
"Good day to you both" He says. As soon as Hiroaki leaves in his carriage, I looked back at Max in fury.
"I understand that you may dislike Watanabe, but that doesn't mean you should dislike Hiroaki," I snap.
"Vivien… forgive me, it's just that, Mr. Watanabe and his people are str-ange. I fi-nd something odd in them" He stutters to say.
"Max, if there's one person that should forgive, is you. I have been unfair to you. After all, you feel that way… so you feel that way. Can't make you change that," I giggle shyly. Kaname and his people… are so strange that I must keep away from them. For my father's sake,
"Is something wrong Vivien?" He asks. I could not help but turn my gaze towards the floor.
"Why would you say that…?" I mutter.
"You always look down at the floor whenever something upsets you… I know you well" He chuckles. I turn my gaze towards him, trying my best not to cry. I had to tell somebody…


All Kaname could do was play the piano… not seeing Vivien was agony to him. Not hearing her voice… was death itself. What was he to do? Why was Vivien angry with him? Couldn't she see that all he was trying to do was protect her?

"Did you talk to her Aido…?" Kaname asks as soon as Hiroaki stepped into the living room.
"I did… but she refused to come" Hiroaki responds. Kaname stops playing the piano and turns his gaze towards Hiroaki.
"Why did she refuse to come?" Kaname snaps.
"She's still upset with you my lord," Hiroaki answers.
"Where did you see her and with whom...?" Kaname asks. He gets up and lights the fireplace.
"She was with Sir Kobayashi… and if I were you my lord, I'd keep a close eye on him and Vivien" Hiroaki dares himself to say. When the fire was set, Kaname walks towards Hiroaki and places his hand on Hiroaki's shoulder.
"I didn't ask for advice yet you give me advice… why Aido?" Kaname asks in a calm tone, a tone Hiroaki did not expect.
"As we both know, Max is interested in Vivien… and Vivien believes in him. She is angry with you, and I find her capable of doing something stupid," Hiroaki says, mumbling the last word.
"Do you really…? What a stupid woman she is!" Kaname says, walking towards the front door.
"Kaname…! Where are you going!" Yuri yells from the upstairs. Kaname turns his gaze towards Yuri, who looked at Kaname with fury in her eyes.
"Outside my Yuri, what does it look like?" Kaname says in a calm tone.
"To see her right…! We are still engaged and yet you have the audacity to see your mortal lover! How dare you Kaname Kuran!" Yuri yells. Hiroaki walks over to Kaname and looks at Yuri.
"My lady… Lord Kuran was just telling me that he was going out to buy you a dress. He has really tried his best to prove his love to you" Hiroaki tells her in an attempt to calm her. She walks downstairs and analyzes Hiroaki. Fortunately, for Kaname, Yuri did not intimidate him as Kaname did.

"Is that really true my husband to be…?" Yuri asks in an ashamed tone.
"Of course it is my sweet Yuri, but I can see that you are still upset with me after all this time. As much as I understand you, I cannot help but feel angry at your lack of trust," Kaname says in a firm tone.
"Kaname please forgive me, it's just that I'm afraid," Yuri cries, collapsing into Kaname's arms. Hiroaki leaves to find his cousin Ken.
"Afraid of what my Yuri…?" Kaname says.
"That that evil mortal will be the end of us," Yuri whispers.
"I think that we both should be careful, right my Yuri?" Kaname says. Yuri turns her gaze towards him and looks at him in confusion, and nervousness.
"Why do you say both my husband to be…?"


"Max I just don't know what to do… I'm so broken, and I just want Matsu out of my life," I cried. Max looks at me in astonishment. How could I blame him?
"I think I know of a way, yet-" Suddenly, my world disappears…
"VIVIEN...!"
