Chapter 7

Ruka stared as Kain tried to get Aidou to calm down. He sat in the position he was put in and cried. His silent tears of anguish were reeking havoc on her system. The Hana she thought she knew was carefree, outgoing and most of all fearless. He did whatever he wanted when he wanted and dealt with the consequences when they came. This was not her Hana, who did this to him. Ruka truly wished at this moment that she had paid more attention to the two of them instead of someone who was never going to want her.

Kain was already sitting in front of his cousin when he felt the bed dip beside him. He had completely forgot Ruka was even in the room with him. Only Hana could ever make him do that, if Ruka was there Kain knew for sure he would have fell in love with his cousin. Aidou was a child like vampire with strong morals and had a unmatched intelligence to match. He was like a child prodigy with sportingly cute disposition.

"Hanabusa, we just want to know what's wrong. Is it wrong for us to want to help you?" Ruka asked. They watched as Aidou's tears subside slowly.
"It's a problem, then again when this is over I'll just have to delete your memories again. I would rather if you just let me be an act like nothing happen." Aidou said, he was tired. So tired of the bullshit. Of having to put up with the beatings. Dealing with the sexual attractions of brutes who used him not only to upgrade there books but to use his body as well. Everything happened to him because he didn't want his sisters or Ruka, for he as a child had liked Ruka to go through what he did now.

Aidou laughed surprising the two of them. He couldn't contained it, the two he would've given anything for were now noticing him. The real him. How could he tell them. He gave his body and mind just they wouldn't know. He didn't want them involve in the family's affairs. He could just picture how disgusted they would be if they found out.

He was a whore. A dirty fucking whore used to help them gain standing with the council and make money because everyone in their family were spending so far over the limit that if tomorrow his eldest sister was to get married they wouldn't have a dowry to give the man to take her. Pitiful but Hana he saved money he made from unknown side jobs for them just in case. How would Ruka feel if she knew that all their families were basically broke and their servants were not leaving for better jobs but because they couldn't get paid.

"Ah the shit I do for family," Hanabusa said out loud completely for getting what had started his slight trip down the only road he hated to go.
"What for family?" Kain said not quite understanding what his cousin was saying.

"Nothing, I'm just going to sit here until you get bored of trying to get an answer and when I'm free I'm going to delete your memories." Aidou said.
Kain thinking over all his cousin said stopped Ruka from what she was about to say. "If your just going to delete our memories again as you say, why can't you just tell us?"

"Why should I go through the hassle? Let alone I can't move so if you decided that you wanted to beat me also I very much couldn't curl into ball to at least shield myself from the attack now could I?" Aidou said. They could very well feel the smirk in Hana's words. The only thing they really registered from what he said is that he allowed someone to beat him.

"If I remove the spell will you tell us?" Kain asked. Kain whispered to Ruka who nodded her head and got up to put many spells around the room so Hanabusa would not be able to escape them. Aidou thinking about it replied yes. Kain was quick to remove the spell. They needed to know, it wasn't a want now, it was a need. The one they thought they protected from everything was the one protecting them. And their protection came at such a high price that he was suffering. For hell long, they didn't know but Hanabusa was in pain. To them that's all they needed in order to start helping him.

"What to tell?" Aidou said with a smile that was sadistically sinful that Ruka and Kain could only stare at him in awe. Kain knew everything they learned was going to hurt them and Aidou was going to enjoy every moment of their pain.

"Hana, I would like to know why you think your disgusting?" Ruka questioned, "And full details please."

"If you hadn't said that at the end I would have left it at I've been told so many times." Hana smirked, "Are you sure you still want to know? Although it be nice to get some of this off my chest it's just going to hurt me more when you lose it. Oh that's it isn't it? You just want to hurt me."

"Hanabusa stop avoiding the question," Kain said stopped Aidou from continuing. He could already feel Ruka distress at his words.

"Tsk, fine. I'm a disgusting whore who uses my body to pay for things. Is that a good enough answer for you?" Aidou asked he looked at Ruka who seemed shocked to hear his answer. He smiled more cruelly. "Oh, Ruka don't look like that, believe me when I say my first time was well paid for. I believe it was one of the recently deceased council members who first had me. After all who doesn't want to fuck a boy of eight before he even knows what lust really is?"

"I admit it was painful the first round and every time after that but hey better than you or my sisters right?" He laughed, "Ah, how stupidly naive I was back then. Who would want a genius for his intelligence only."

"How did it happen?" Kain asked. Ruka squeaked and jumped when she heard Kain voice break the small silence they had.

"Did I not say? My bad, I believe our families had a meeting discussing the amount of debts we've claimed from over spending. My father was against it all together, saying things like they shouldn't come to him for help if they couldn't even started to curb their urges for things they could no longer afford." Aidou said with a small smile. This smile wasn't cruel or evil, it was like the thought was the only reason he could still not hate his father. "Ah it was then purposed to use either me, you two or Tsukiko. I just happened to walk in and hear this. I asked for what and was told they needed someone to be the family sacrifice to get us back up. For as it was that day after being shown all our family's combined documents we were so far in debt that only a drastic change could help us."

"It was my fault for offering myself after hearing the plans for who ever was chosen. To think the youngest out of all would be the family protector. I can't remember all the things I've done for the family. Though now each family get a certain amount of money to spend each month for I am the only banker this family will ever need. Those who go over end up with less than half of the normal amount for next month." Aidou said positively, "No one has yet go over the limit since your parents did Ruka."

Kain sat there processing as Aidou said everything. Their family had done this to him. They went against their own blood. Kain was seething. Ruka was just as mad as him by the feeling in the air. They both stayed silent for Hana just seemed to speak more openly the more he continued to speak.

"Hm, how long have I been doing this?" Aidou questioned himself, "Ah that's right, since I was eight. Well eight was my first time but it wasn't when I started working over the family accounts to get us back in the ranks of nobles again. No, I was seven when that started. Of course I made our families make a blood contact with me."

"No one else was to get involved the same way as me. When proper age, which I deemed worthy you two or my sisters would be told. I have control over all family accounts. Once over the limit all accounts to that family are frozen, unless I deem otherwise." Hana said smirking again, "Beside that I really didn't care what happened. How stupid I was, then again I was seven."

"Hmm, let's see a yes, the person I hate being sold to the most gets to have me for the holidays. He likes to beat me until I can't move before fucking me dry. He really seems to enjoy screams of pain and tears." Aidou said as though he was talking about the weather. "Hmm, I'm can't wait until this blood contract is over, what just two more fucking idiots like the next one to fuck and I can be done. Then I get to abandon this family and be on my own. Of course I was willing to tell my sisters and you two a number to contact me with. Although I wouldn't help the family out any more. Ha, I'm just lucky that there aren't many hunters who like fucking me as much as Yamagushin does."

"Then again there aren't many hunters who get paid by both councils." Aidou relaxed in his chair, "This heart to heart was really helpful. To think by the time Kuran main nemesis is gone I'll be free. Ah, what a fuck happy thought for a like cunt like me to have. It's bloody glorious."

"Well, who's first to be deleted?" Aidou asked positively beaming a ray of utter false happiness towards them.

"What if we don't want to now?" Kain said angry that Hana went through all this pain alone, "Plus that's not everything."

"We had a deal," Hana hissed, "Aw did you want me to include my feelings too~!"

"Why would you go that far for us?" Ruka asked. "Yes were not done." Her eyes shone with resolve. She was disgusted by their family and hated the fact that Aidou didn't think he could trust them.

"Oh, don't be worried over why I don't trust you. It's that I trust you that I don't want you to know." Hanabusa said with a wave of his hand. Ruka had always been so easy to read. "If you want to know I love you two so much that when someone like Yamagushin chokes me till my eyes roll back in my head while fucking an almost limp body, I think it's worth it."

"For when it comes done to it. The rest of the family beside you two my sisters and my father hate me. I'm too smart for my age. Too cute and outgoing for our normal family traits. Hell, since were having so much fun, the only reason I'm so smart is that bitch I call a mother didn't like my test scores." Aidou said with spite, "She decided to take it upon herself to through breed me to think if I don't get a ninety five or above I was worthless. She beat until I got an answer right for her lessons."

"If I for some reason got below her lovely number of ninety five I would be locked in the basement with nothing but book to read, for days on end until I produced the wanted result." Aidou said said his eyes glazing over, "I remember the abuse for the pages I ate to stop myself from biting myself. Although that never really stopped the ending result. Fuck what I life, no wonder I volunteered myself."

Kain watched as his cousin laughed once again, claiming something about being doomed from the start. Kain grabbed Ruka's hand said a spell and wrote in blood on them before going over to gather Aidou in his arms. Ruka followed suit. Aidou sighed and smiled at them both happily.

"You know I was really happy every time you two would notice that I existed." Hana said with tears before whispering, "To bad good things have to end."

Aidou was quick to use there closeness as a way to put his hands at the back of their necks and press their foreheads together. With a smile he did the one thing he hated doing to them. Always when they got to close he was the one force to delete and take their pain away. Too bad they never remembered that it was this position he always did it in. After all if it weren't for them making contact with him he wouldn't touch them.

"Why touch something so clean with dirty hands. Tainting it would be a waste." He didn't realise he was talking aloud.

"I consecrate and clear this space. Let nothing but joy linger here. Give nothing but satisfied memories. I replace and pure this mind." Hanbusa said with tears as he once again deleted memories.

Both Kain and Ruka slumped to the floor with him, their weight was too much for his weakened body to handle anymore. He moved them into Kain's bed, he was sure the to would blush in the morning a be awkward for the next few days. Once he was sure they were sleeping, he broke down crying. Pure anguish didn't not come close describing the feelings of self hatred, disgust and loneliness he gave himself by once again being unable to tell the two he loved the most what broken toy he truly was.

Little did Aidou know that Kain cast a reversal spell on them so when Aidou tried to delete their newly discovered family facts, they would get back all the images and information they gained over the years. The images were quick to be released from the spell. They could feel themselves being moved, hear the cries of pain and smell the sent of blood being shed but they couldn't move.

Blood poured from the wounds Hana had given himself between his fits of screams and cries of pain, Hanabusa got off the floor and moved to his bed calming down a little. Getting up he stood over the two bodies of what he treasured the most. "If you two leave me, I won't have a reason to live anymore." With that said Hanabusa kissed their foreheads like he had so many times before and went to sleep in his own bed.

Zero and Kaname sat next to each other on Kuran's bed in silence. The laughed the shared a moment ago only relieved some of the tension between them. Kaname was glad that Zero told him the truth. Now when the true battle began he wouldn't be completely in the dark. Although he still had a few questions for the silver haired beauty, that could wait until after they got some yawned, his emotions had gotten the best of him and now he was tired for it even though it was still somewhat early.
"Oh, your tired? I'll be going then Kuran." Zero said beginning to stand up before being pulled back down.

"It's Kaname, Zero and stay here." Kaname said with Zero next to him on his bed. He liked the thought of Zero in his bed.

"U-umm, n-no it's okay I can walk back," Zero stated trying to leave. Kaname let go of Zero hand so the boy could pick up his cape. Kaname drew the covers back from the bed as Zero went to put his cape back on but before he could fully do so Kuran snatched it and threw it over a chair on the other side of the room.

"Ku-Ka-Kaname!" Zero said his voice slightly raised. Kaname grabbed Zero by the waist and brought him down to the bed. He used his powers to take off his and Zero's shoes. Not caring that they were still dressed, Kaname covered them with his blankets and snuggled into Zero. Kiryuu of course resisted back gave in once his realized the pure blood had him in a death grip and wasn't going to let go.

"Fine but I'm mad at you." Zero said with a huff before getting comfortable and falling asleep quicker than they both expected.
