Heeeeey guys. Finally able to have my own free time and WRITE. Yard sales & such. Ugh. But, I just wanted to let you guys know that I update my profile often with ideas for stories. You can see what I have in mind. (: Also, if I'm updating often, then you guys have the relief to know that I haven't given up on the stories or forgotten about them. Oh, and the last volume for Vampire Knight (Volume 19) has been released in book stores if you didn't know. Just letting you know. It's amazing. (: I don't know about any of you, but.. I liked the ending. What about you guys?

Anyways, enjoy~!

Kaname's POV (Point Of View)

January 7, 1995 (Monday) 4:12 AM

Kuran Mansion

*THUMP*

*CRASH*

"HEEHEE."

An abundant amount of giggles erupted from down the hallway, not too far from Haruka's office. The soft thuds of a pair of feet that I knew quite well, for a matter of 2 months now ever since she's started to do this. Yuuki, has found a new fascination. Tripping over her feet, going head first into nearby walls, and repeating the same process over again a lot more than two times a day. She'll do this all day if I allowed her to.

*TUMBLE*

"HEHEHEHEHEHEE~"

I felt the tension in my chest tighten and become heavier as she skidded across the wooden floors outside my bedroom. I felt her try to put a stop to her rapid motion as she neared a wall, but failed miserably as she slammed into it.. my desk lightly shaking a bit from the impact. My "mountain high" pile of papers sliding to the side in an unorganized fashion.

"Never fails." I whispered under my breath, as I sensed her get up and start running down the opposite side of the hallway again.

I let out that heavy feeling in my chest with a sigh, my right hand trailing up to my dark tresses for a brief moment of comfort. My eyes rolled over to the clock on the wall, reading 4:19.. in the morning.

Daytime will make itself known in an hour or two. Juri and Haruka will soon be back from the Soiree as well.. it's time to get her into bed. They shouldn't need to come home to her running about while they have nothing else in mind but to rest.

My hand, tangled in the mess that is my hair, lingered there for a moment or so more before the door to my bedroom busted open without warning.

*RIIIIP*

..And I, startled as I was, ripped a clump of hair from my scalp. How did I not sense her coming? I thought to myself.

"Niiiiiiii~" Yuuki started as she galloped through the entrance of my bedroom, launching herself onto the leg of the chair I was resting myself on.

I ruffled my dark locks slightly, rubbing the place where I ripped a large amount of hair from my head gently..

I glance over at her, as she stare back at me with large and dilated pupils.. her large, white shirt rising right above her knees and revealing careless, unneeded scratches that flaw her fair skin.

I took in her disheveled appearance; a result of the activities she's been investing her time into for the past few months. Her plump, child-like cheeks were flushed.. her hair was knotted and badly needed attention.. there was light, bluish-purplish bruises that plagued her skin and had a sore touch to it.. a few cuts blemishing her forehead, but fading away rather quickly.. she was an absolute mess.

Taking a restrained breath, I pick myself up from the chair I've been sitting in for the last two hours.. to tower over Yuuki. I casted a threatening, gloomy shadow over her as she unlatched herself from the leg of my chair.. she, staring up at me intently with her reddish-chestnut hues..

We both stared at each other with a glare, her gaze never ceasing to move away from my gaze.

"Yuuki.." I began, never letting my gaze fall from hers so she feels what I want her to feel..

Before I can open my mouth again to say the next collection of words, I hear a burst of childish laughter before me.

I look down to find that she's on the ground, on her side.. her small, miniature body jerking with violent laughter that shook her from the inside.

"HEHEHEHEEEE~ Niiii, you'z fuuuunny~!" She gasped, clutching the sides of her cheeks as she giggles.

I sighed, my frustration getting the best of me.

She's just too damn cute. I thought to myself.

"It's rather late, Yuuki.." I said, my eyes drooping from her activeness. She has lots of traits.. of the sun. A flame that never burns out.
She seems to radiate.. getting brighter each and every passing day. She doesn't know how much her existence puts me in awe.

People would say that the way she acts is exactly how a child her age would act and that there's nothing that separates her from other toddlers.. but, I beg to differ. Every toddler.. is different and special in their own way. But.. not like Yuuki.

Yuuki is just.. a mystery.

She clumsily crawled back up to her own two feet to be in a stance. Her famous, toothy smile spread across her face with half-lidded eyes.

She means.. everything to me.

The corners of my mouth slightly turned up into a smile..

Everything. I repeated in my head.

Once she laid eyes on me.. she halted every movement she made to stare up at me.. mesmerized.

..

I paused as well, unsure of what I did to catch her attention. Her gaze was kind of.. startling, considering how she usually is.

..

Her eyes glinted with an unknown light.. her lips no longer formed in a grin but.. were slightly parted, to show her awe.

I stretched my hand out to touch her plump, flushed cheek.. as she stared up at me in wonder.

.. Suddenly, she reached up and grabbed the rim of my shirt gently.. pulling on it.

A sweet, shy smile crept onto her face as she eyed me with her chocolate pools.. expressing some type of feeling that made me feel.. some type of sensation.

"Niii-sama..?" She quietly inquired..

"Howz comez you dun smile like dat a lot..?"

I stared down at her, my eyebrows furrowing in confusion. "..What was that..?" I questioned..

"..I-It makes me feelz.. warn.." she confessed, her small hands crawling up her arms to represent the warmth she felt.

"You mean.. warm?" I asked, correcting her cute little mispronunciation.

"Y-yeah.." She replied, taking little steps towards me.. closing the distance between her and my legs.. and hugging herself to them.

We stood there for a few moments.. relishing in each others presence and closeness.. her eyes glazed over and a tear forming at the corners of each eye.

I stood there a moment more, before silently kneeling down to her height.. causing her to back up and cover her eyes from my sight with the oversized, long sleeves of her shirt to shield her tears. She hiccupped and panted softly as steamy tears rolled down her cheeks.. but, to my surprise.. still revealing a sweet smile. A never faltering smile..

"Yuuki.." I said, her name rolling off my tongue like silk..

I wrapped a single arm around her waist and pulled her closer to me.. making her feel the warmth of my embrace, as she snuggled closer into my chest.. reveling in my touch.

She shuddered slightly, feeling my hot breath on her neck..

"Niii, that tickles~" She said, starting to snicker as I pulled her in tighter.. earning a "Umph!~" from her.

I wasn't playing around right now.. I just wanted to feel her right up against me.. so I can feel like I'm really a part of her.

I wanted to know how she felt at such a age.. I wanted to know if.. I make her feel such a way. I want her to be thinking about my touch and what it exactly means and feels to her..

How do you feel, Yuuki..?
