36. Getting To Know You

The night dragged on for the four guardians, all kicking their feet and looking around on a very quiet night. It was a little chillier than normal, so it scared all the Day Class girls into their common room for some cocoa and movies. Sukui, being her usual obnoxious self (in Zero's well-founded opinion sometimes) let out a groan, "Sooooo bored!"

"Well what're we supposed to do?" Yuuki called from further down the terrace just above. "Yeah!" Amaya interceded from the grounds to the left of her, "We've got to pay attention or the Day Class girls might make their move." Sukui sighed, "I know, but we can at least do something to pass the time."

"What do you suggest?" Zero asked from the opposite end from Yuuki of the terrace. "How bout. . . Well, how bout questions. I'm kind of wondering about Master's daughter here. I haven't seen her in a good ten years."

"Well, I'll be willing to answer almost anything. Almost." Amaya called, and Sukui tapped her chin as she paced. She knew that Amaya had been placed with either the Kiryu's or a watcher family while Toga was out hunting, and she seemed really intelligent. She also knew, from hours earlier, that she was a hunter herself. So, she decided to go with the basic question, well for Hunters of course.

"What weapon do you carry Amaya?"

"My small black pistol, the Black Rose!"

"Hey, that's the sister weapon to your Bloody Rose right Zero?"

"Yeah." Zero responded curtly.

"What about you Sukui?" Amaya threw back afterwards.

"Oh," Sukui was a little thrown off guard, not many people asked. "Erm, well it's the Crossing Silver Angel. A dagger."

"That's interesting, how do you use such a short weapon for Level E's?"

"I either throw it or use it like I'm doing hand to hand combat, I'm more of an agility and pressure point sort of person." Sukui drawled, twiddling aforementioned dagger in her thumbs.

"Not many hunters I've met with that sort of technique."

Sukui nods, "I've only met people with guns, no one seems brave enough to use knives or katana." Except Ichiru. . . But I haven't seen him since we was sobbing over Shizuka's body.

Silence cast over the group again, and Sukui rolled her eyes at her failed attempt to create any sort of atmosphere. "Sukui." the aforementioned girl turned around and looked into Amaya's blue eyes with her monochrome-lavender eyes. "Hey, Amaya, what is it?" The taller girl sat next to Sukui, swinging her legs at the same timing she did after a few seconds of silence, "I have some information for you." she whispered.

Sukui's heart almost ceased beating. "About what?"

"Kaname and I are fairly close, and he's told me something interesting about the letters he gave you concerning your father, Cross."

"What about it?"

"Yuri? The person having mentioning "sealing" something within you is a pureblood vampire, and Juri Kuran's twin sister."

Sukui blinked in awe and shock at Amaya quickness to deliver the information, no softening, just blunt. That flash of amber . . . From when she'd read the letters blared to life in her vision again, and gave her a shredding headache. She sputtered, but breathed in and pretended that nothing had happened, even as Amaya looked at her in concern.

"What would Kaname's aunt want with me?"

Amaya sighed, "So much I wish I could say, but I am bound not too, I'm afraid." Sukui was near frustrated, but let in a deep breath. "What did Yuri seal within me? How'd she do it?"

"With her powers of course, her life. It's a risky spell. They wanted to keep your blood, the blood of the Hooded Woman, Cross, and your mother hidden from people like Shizuka, and other purebloods who wanted more power."

"Who is my mother, anyway." Sukui began slowly, "You know, don't you?"

"Proof of her is much closer than you think Sukui, all you have to do it look."
