(Dream)

"Yuu slow down. I'm your family, don't leave me behind." A voice called out to him.

"I don't have a family. Leave me alone." Yuu grunted back.

"Yes you do. The director said that everyone at the Hyakuya orphanage is family." The voice said back.

Yuu finally woke up from his dream confused. If he had a family now, he wouldn't want to leave them. Why would he want to leave them then?

Yuu was interrupted from his thoughts by a girl walking up to his cell. "Is that you Yuichiro?"

He looked up to her to see it was Akane. "It's you." He said surprised.

"Excuse me?" She asked. Mika had told her that he had no memory of them. So she was surprised and more than a little happy that he seemed to recognize her.

"You're the girl from my dreams." Yuu said with excitement. He had several dreams where he was human and he had a family and the girl in front of him was in them, only much younger. The only thing is since he always dismissed them as dreams, he didn't think that she was an actual person until now.

"What do you mean?" Akane asked hoping so much that she was somewhere in his memories.

"I must have seen you somewhere before. Were you ever in the Vampire city?" Yuu asked. At this point he started to think that they had meet before. That it was the only explanation for seeing her in his dreams.

"Yes. I was there as a kid because Vampires took me with the rest of my family." Akane said. Mika had already explained that they couldn't just walk up and say 'Oh hi, we're your long lost foster family' so for now she could only tell him half-truths. And though she didn't let it appear on her face or in her voice, she was disappointed that all she was to him was some girl with a familiar face.

"I must have seen you there. Congratulations on getting out." Yuu said smiling at her. "By the way, why did you want to know if I was Yuichiro?"

She smiled back at him. "Well I'm friends with Mikaela, the one who helped you out yesterday."

"I guess that makes sense. But he said he was nice to me because I reminded him of an old friend. Why are you being nice?" He pressed on.

"Well, you don't really seem like most Vampires. The rest of the Vampires here spend there time calling everyone livestock and saying they'll break free. But not you." Akane explained. She was really hoping that his time with the Vampires hadn't changed him too much. That even though he couldn't remember them, he would still be the same hot-headed idiot.

"Most of those Vampires have been like that for centuries. I was only turned a couple of years ago and became a full Vampire about two months ago." Yuu explained to her, trying to be friendly. "To be honest, back in Sanguinem I even smuggle food in for the kids."

"That's incredible!" Akane exclaimed. That settled it. This was their Yuu. He wasn't some blood sucker like Ferid. Even if he wasn't Human, he was the same person.

"Thanks." Yuichiro said right before she reached through the bars and gave him a hug with a few stray tears of joy coming from her eye. "Um...are you okay?" He asked awkwardly.

Then she released him from the hug and wiped away the tears. "Yeah you just remind me of an old friend."

"Mikaela said that to me too. Is it the same person?" Yuu questioned.

Akane thought it was a little weird that Yuu was talking about himself but he was none the wiser. "Yeah. You two are practically mirror images of each other." She said ironically.

"No kidding? I'd like to meet him." Yuu said.

"You can't. Vampires took him from us a long time ago." Akane said which in her mind was completely true.

"I'm sorry. I swear I had nothing to do with that." Yuu defended.

"Oh I wasn't accusing you. I'm sorry." She apologized.

"It's fine." Yuu said.

"Thank you Yuu." She said smiling. Then she saw him get a confused look on his face. "What did you call me?" He asked.

"I called you Yuu. Ya know, your name." She said confused as to why he didn't seem to like her using his nickname.

"No what I mean is how did you know my nickname is Yuu. I never told you or Mikaela that." Yuu explained.

At that moment she felt like an idiot for not thinking of that. She had to think for a second before responding. "Oh, are you sure? You must have said it without noticing it."

"Yeah I guess that makes sense." Yuu said.

Akane was thankful Yuu was still his dull self. "Sorry I have to get going. It was nice to meet you."

"Yeah you too." Yuu said as she walked away before he stopped her. "Hey I never got your name."

"My name's Akane." She called.

"It was nice to meet you Akane." He called back as she finally exited the building. He felt like there was more to the fact that she and Mikaela were so nice, but for now, he thought it was better not to pry.


(Hyakuya Apartment)

Mika was sitting down, helping Ako with with her homework when Akane came in.

"So how was it?" "Is Yuu doing okay?" Ako and Mika said at the same time.

Akane laughed. "He was great. He even recognized me a little."

"Really?" Mikaela asked. He was a bit jealous that Yuu didn't recognize him even a little but he did know Akane. He was happy for her to though.

Then Ako looked up to Mika. "When do the rest of us get to see big brother?"

"In a while. You don't have security clearance so it's going to be harder to get you in there." Mika sighed.

"It's okay. We've waited for years. We can all wait a bit longer." Ako said smiling.

"Thanks. Now why don't you go to bed." Akane suggested so she and Mika could talk. Ako then went to sleep.

"So what do we do next?" Akane asked sitting down.

"I guess we start to research how to make Vampires Human again." Mika suggested.

"That will be a lot of reading." Akane complained.

"Thank you for volunteering." Mikaela said smiling before she started scowling at him. "Just joking."

"That much research is for tomorrow." She said walking over to the bedroom.

Mika sighed. He wondered if there even a way to turn Yuu back into Human at all. But even if he couldn't be Human,he was alive. And that was enough for him.

Sorry that this chapter took longer than than others.
