Chapter Five: Kaien Cross
It's warm. Where does this warmth come from? I tried to open my eyes but my eyelids feel heavy. I tried to open my eyes with all the strength I have and i saw a boy and man. The boy have brown hair and maroon eyes and the man has the same feature as the boy. Although the man looks mature and older. I tried to sit up and look around. It seems like I am in a house. Where am I? Who am I? Why do I not remember anything? How did I get here? I clutched my head as I try to remember what happened but I could not remember anything. Not even my name. I looked at the two people and they smiled at me when they caught me staring at them. I blushed for being caught staring. The boy and man walked to the side of the bed and sat down on one chair. They introduced themselves as Kuran Kaname and Haruka. They asked me why I was out on the snow. I shook my head trying to tell them that I do not know.
"Do you know who your parents are? Do you have any sibling?" They looked at me gently and smiled. I shook my head.
They look thoughtful for a moment. Before they could say anything, the door to the room opened. In came a man with blonde hair tied down. He wears eyeglasses as well. I look at him and suddenly he charged towards me trying to hug me. Kaname then took me into his arms and prevented the blonde hair man to launch anymore "attacks" at me. I clutched onto Kaname's shirt and laid my head onto his chest. I feel safe with Kaname and Haruka. Why do I feel that way? I think I do not know them at all but why I do feel safe with them? Also why do I feel so nostalgic being in Kaname's arms as if he did this before to me. Kaname then placed me back on the bed when he thinks it is safe to do so. The blonde haired man then sat on the chair that Kaname sat on a while ago and started to talk to me. I answered his questions with a nod or a shake of my head. Then I could hear Kaname and Haruka talking to the blonde haired man to adopt me. I am now sitting on a chair and something was placed in front of me. I do not know what it is and is curious so I used something to poke at it. It's soft. What is this? Kaname, Haruka and the blonde haired man seem to have finished talking and walked over to me. They saw me playing with the soft thing poking at it. They smiled at that.
"It seems like she does not remember. She does not even though that pudding is food." The blonde haired man said while looking at me. Kaname sat beside on the chair and feed me. He tried to feed me the soft thing but I did not open my mouth. He opened his mouth trying to make me imitate what he is doing. When I see fangs in his mouth, I flinched away from him. I hid behind the blond haired man. Kaname then looked sad and he prepared to leave. Haruka was also preparing to leave. For some reason I do not want them to leave even though I saw something sharp and scary in Kaname's mouth. They are nice to me. I do not want them to leave. Then without thinking, I ran to Haruka and Kaname and clutched onto their shirt not letting go. They look back at me in awe. Then they stood in front of me and took my hand in theirs. I look up at them with a sad look.
"It's okay. We will be back. I promise you that we would visit you when we can. Believe in me. Okay?" I nodded at them. Then they ruffled my hair. I smiled back at them. Then they embraced me. I return them back with a hug and rubbed my face in their chest. I remember them smiling at me before they left. The blonde haired man then brought me back inside the house. We sat at the living room with him talking to me. I nodded or shook my head at what he said. Then came the part where he decides a name for me. He said that my name would be Yume meaning dream. He want my life to be full of dreams and happiness. That is what he said. I am now officially this man, Kaien Cross's daughter, Yume Cross.
