Summary: A near care crash on an wet road brings out wonderful changes in Yori's and Hanabusa's lives.
Chapter three
After that, she closed her eyes and simply thought it all through. Hanabusa saw in her look a short while later aimed at him, that Yori had come to the same conclusions as he had. Both exchanged a grim look. "So, that was why father suddenly urged me to take him as my fiancée even I never met him in my live… he is a Vampire who tried to use me to get to my father, am I right?"
Hanabusa nodded.
"Yeah, looks like it a lot. Don't worry, Kaname Sama currently looks after your family. That will not happen again, I assure you." He scrolled down the message block until he reached a new message to read it together with Yori and the fuming Ryutaka on her lap. Sighing Hanabusa wrote a short note back to his father.
"We had the right suspicion then, that message just cleared it up."
The other two nodded too. The message had confirmed their hunch fully. The man was arrested and currently in custody of the Vampire Council of elders until Ryutaka and Kaname San had decided what to do with him. his conspirators had been found out and currently were targeted from the dogs of the council.
The reason for the helpfulness of the council was a sound one.
Her father was a growing asset to them and her getting hurt and turned because of doing a rescue of one of their esteemed Pure Blood rulers was a massive trouble and hassle to deal with. It was also a big chance for the Nobles to get a hold on her Father if this was solved right. He was a known silent supporter of Cross school and knew about them.
That all could make him a vital asset or foe in the future for the council elders and their clans.
He was too valuable already to loose him to the hunter side and they knew it. So, there was no wonder here to thank for their help. They simply looked after their assets in the future here. Hanabusa figured that out too and Yori did also comprehend that fully. It was only logical and she was aware of it that they would try to use her in the future too.
"Don't worry, Yori Chan. I will not let them try to use you in the future. And if I have to ask that blasted Kuran for help to get my way!" Ryutaka looked really mad at the screen while he spoke that in an eerily soft voice. Hanabusa felt chills run down his spine hearing it. So, he thought, he got that too, eh? Yori simply nodded and hugged the boy close.
How had Yori managed to win over the little hellcat? Hanabusa shook his head in wonderment and choose wisely to not mention that aloud. He knew to what that harmless into Yori snuggling boy Vampire was capable of and heard some nasty rumors about the Touma head in the past already. This boy, could kill and had done so already from what he knew.
Shaking his head again he looked down at the boys alert red eyes to fix them with his icy blue ones.
"Don't we all?" He just told the boy cryptically. He confused Yori with his words but not Ryutaka. The young head of his clan understood fully the implication and grinned a rather wicked smile back at Hanabusa. "Indeed!" Was all he said before he simply snuggled deeper into Yori's hug. He began to like that Noble. Hanabusa san did not beat around the bush with what he had in mind and yet the Aido heir managed it still to conceal the most at the same moment. That was a skill not many possessed.
Plus that he wasn't scared of Ryutaka.
He had taken care of him but had kept being respectful and in rank without to loose his face or to command Ryutaka around. Neither had Hanabusa taken advantage of his state of mind or had tried to get a better standing out of the situation so far. Instead he had cared for him and kept them all safe.
Hanabusa was seemingly quite fond of Yori Chan too.
Ryutaka really began to thank those bastards who had accidentally made this possible wordlessly; they had grazed him with the extraordinary opportunity to find people that were worth for once to be kept around! Now he only had to figure out a way how he could keep Yori with him and how to transfer the seemingly high loyalty of Hanabusa Kun away from the Kuran clan leader and over to him and he was set.
Humming the little Pure Blood happily plotted busily away in his little Machiavellian mind while Yori carried him to the kitchen to have some food.
Hanabusa who walked behind the two felt a chill run down his mind seeing the all too happy grin on the angelic looking face. Somehow he just did know it that the little pain in the neck currently hatched out something wicked and he was somehow certain that it involved Yori and him in a way. Shuddering slightly he tortured his brain what that could be. He had to find that out to counteract the little wanabe mastermind before he got out of hand here.
He missed the sly grin on Ryutaka's face that way, who had watched Hanabusa secretly and now laughed inside of his mind seeing the Nobles wary looks directed at him.
Yup! He really began to like the thought of keeping the heir of Lord Nakamichi with him!
That Noble line was known for their faithfulness to the ruling houses as well as to the monarchy. Ryutaka knew this too and that alone was already something he respected. After all he was of said royalty himself, a member of the true Vampires under the Vampire race, a true Pure Blood. A prince if want to give the child a name.
To have such a family with such influence on his clans side would do his house much good and despite his young age, Ryutaka had already understood political schemes a while ago. He had to, or he would have been taken advantage of. Now, at an age of ten and a half years, he was already a little mastermind in his own right. True, he was still careful concealing away his much more dangerous capacity of scheming from the most but he made certain that others knew already enough to no longer bother him too much.
Too much was at stake for Ryutaka to loose with one false step and the child knew this well himself.
He had fooled the council into believing that he was just another a spoiled brat. They had all too happily taken the bait and left him in peace.
The truth was, Ryutaka knew a lot more of what was going on behind the closed doors as they would ever have believed him to recognize. He had used his natural abilities well and had already made allies under his own kin and the Nobles alike. Like Hanabusa, Ryutaka was a child genius but almost no one knew of it and he kept it silent and under wraps.
What others didn't know could not be used against him was his credo.
He loved to read books about Machiavelli and other famous tactically geniuses of the past and loved to play chess. Politics and such also had his attention. The boy Vampire had already a fast knowledge of it and used it brilliantly to his and his clans advantages. That Kuran Kaname was one of the very few, that seem to have looked through his carefully made mask so far. He didn't like it but currently lived with it, grudgingly respecting another magnificent mind that way.
Hanabusa also had such a capacity for becoming a marvelous strategic mind with time, if he was it not already.
In Ryutaka's mind he just needed a little polishing and he would be easily in the same class as he and Kaname san where it by now. He liked the idea of having someone around for once, who could match his fickle mind. It was boring for him to have almost no one around to that he could talk to on a level that the most just simply did not have a handle on. It made his life difficult and often tedious since he needed constantly to lower himself to a level so that they got what he had in mind.
Seeing Hanabusa give him more calculating looks all the way to the kitchen had the boy giddy with excitement.
Yori silently noticed the silent communication between the two behind her instinctually but choose not to comment on it but rather to watch them for now.
She too had the awful feeling that the boy in her arms was up to something. Fine, she thought finally after a while observing them, let the two scheme away and keep them in the eyes. If I do this right, I will be the one laughing in the end and hopefully not have to sweep up the shards they will leave in their wake when they get out of control. Better is it to redirect their little plans in secret, before they get out of control and hurt themselves in the end.
Men, she thought; no matter what species or age, the most simply shouldn't be left unobserved for longer as two minutes!
Or else they get in trouble fast. She shook her head softly. Her mother had been right when she had told Yori that once in the past. Looking slightly hidden away from her bangs at the at each other now glaring two geniuses, she sighed softly. And knowing these two already as good as Yori did it in such a short while, she plainly recognized easily that their masterminds would soon clash in the future.
Why males always did underestimate the capacity of the brainpower and instincts of the female part of their species, was an never-ending miracle to her.
