Author's Note: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. Things have been a little hectic and I haven't had too much time. I know I added some new stories but I've had writer's block on others.

Boston slid to a stop outside the Sun Dorm. Yuki Cross, Kuran or whatever her name was now was in her room. The light was the indicator.

Yuki was the only person she could talk to that would tell Kaname whatever and get away with it. She was his sister/lover so it would be better to talk to her. The only problem was getting her attention.

"You could fly." She wasn't surprised Akatsuki had followed her. He probably knew every thought that had passed through her head.

She turned to look at him. "How am I supposed to do that exactly?"

"Use your energy. It might wear you out but it's worth a shot."

He was right. It was worth a shot.

Boston gathered the energy of the earth to her. It flowed through her as a song would a piano. She focused on the image of her rising to the window in her mind. The hem of her shirt rose as the wind whipped around her. When she opened her eyes, she was three stories off the ground. Before she could chicken out, she tapped on Yuki's window. The other girl opened the window and blanched.

"Get in here! That's extremely dangerous!" she wailed.

Boston moved back as she reached for her. Come outside. I need to talk to you."

"Will you be on the ground?" Boston nodded. "Give me a minute."

When she closed the window, the other girl slowly moved down the building. Akatsuki caught her once her feet landed on the ground but she stumbled. Boston pulled her nose from his armpit and looked up at him. He didn't look mad but then again why would he? It was his idea.

Akatsuki still didn't let go when she steadied herself. They stood toe to toe staring at each other. He could see the fatigue that suddenly came over her but she wasn't going to move as long as he held her. It was then it hit him.

He had fallen in love with this girl in a month's time and he didn't want her to go.

He sank down against a tree. As he went down, she went with him, landing between his upraised knees. Neither said a word as they continued to stare at each other.

Boston's mind raced as she looked Akatsuki in the eye. She had no idea what was going on. There was something about this young man that was drawing her to him. When she was with him, everything else fell away as if it didn't matter.

She tore her gaze away from his only to have it land on a patch of skin just above his pants line. She couldn't tell what it was so she hiked his shirt up a little higher. Akatsuki hissed at the chill when she drew her hand away.

"Am I interrupting something?"

Boston jumped away from him, much to his displeasure. "No, not at all."

Yuki looked between the two before saying, "What did you want to talk to me about?"

"Your controlling jerk of a brother."

The Pureblood princess sighed. "What did he do now?"

"It's not what he's done; it's what I'm afraid he's going to do."

"Tell me."

So Boston launched into the tale.

Ash ground his teeth together at the woman who stood in the foyer of the Moon Dorm. She just had to come, of course. It was her daughter. Always conniving. She probably bewitched his sword or something.

Puck was just as surprised. Standing before him was his own king. The Lord of the Summer Fae looked as if he was angry. About what, Puck had no idea. It was scary that the two rulers had come together to find one girl.

Kaname looked normal but he was smug. This saved him the time and effort it would have taken to find he passages the Faeryland. These two had come to take him because of Boston. The girl had done something great.

"I have a right to see her," the woman said.

"I said she's not here," Hanabusa ground out for the third time.

"I can sense her glamour."

The blond put a hand to his head. "Of course you do. She lives here!"

"With vampires?" the man asked.

Kaname lifted an elegant eyebrow. "So you know what we are?"

"It's hard to miss. Now where is she?"

"It's as Aido said. She's not here at the moment."

"Then we'll wait."

They didn't have to wait long. Boston and Akatsuki returned a few moments later. This time with Yuki. Kaname frowned at the older girl, knowing exactly what she had done. Yuki stepped in front of him, drawing his attention.

"Whatever you're planning, don't." she said matter of factly.

He tilted his head. "You don't know what you're talking about."

"Leave Boston alone. And the Fae as well."

Kaname looked at Boston. ""Nice play, using Yuki as your pawn."

"She's not my pawn but I don't want you to do anything. I don't know what I am and if you do something to them, I may never know." she replied.

The vampire lord watched as his underling put his arm around her. Akatsuki was obviously falling hard. He looked down at Yuki as she clutched at his arm. There was no way he could get away with this if Yuki was on Boston's side.

"I won't bother them." he said. Yuki tugged on his arm appreciatively. Boston smiled slightly. He turned to the others gathered in the room. "Oberon of the Summer Fae, this is Boston Saunders, Queen Mab's daughter. Mab, this is your daughter."

Boston looked over at the rulers across from her, mainly at Mab. The woman was dark headed with pale skin. Her eyes were nearly as black as her hair. She stared at Boston as the girl looked her over.

"Why is the daughter of Mab cavorting with a vampire?" Oberon asked. He was watching the interaction between Boston and Akatsuki closely. Akatsuki lifted his head and looked at him, a challenge in his eye.

"You have grown, my daughter." Mab said as she walked forward. Boston backtracked, her bottom colliding with Akatsuki's groin causing the vampire to wince minutely. Mab stopped. "Of course. I'm too forward. You barely know me."

"On the contrary, I don't know you at all." Boston replied. She wanted to back up further but Akatsuki refused to move, one arm slung around her neck.

Mab nodded. "I understand. I am Mab, Queen of the Unseelie Court and also your birth mother."

"Be careful," Akatsuki whispered close to her ear. "Ash says she's deceitful."

"Get me out of here, please," she begged.

His hair rubbed against her cheek as he shook his head. "I wish I could, but I can't. You have to do this." He gasped when she grabbed his hand.

"Akatsuki." Kaname called. Both looked at him. "Return to your room. Boston will do this alone." He met Boston's somewhat terrified gaze as all the vampires made their way upstairs.

When they were all gone, Boston looked around the room. She was left with Oberon, Mab, Puck and Ash. Grimalkin was purring happily in the corner. This was awkward. Boston had been happy in the knowledge that she knew the people who raised her as her parents. Now, her world was turned upside down. These people were here to take her away.

She glanced up at the stairs, knowing Akatsuki was angry about being sent away. She felt alone, more alone than she had ever been. She refused to look at anyone for fear they would see the sudden loneliness in her eyes. Ash said it would be bad for her emotions to show, that emotions would be the death of her.

"Boston?" She looked up at Puck. "It's okay." When he smiled at her, she had feeling it would be.

For a time.
