Fourth chapter yay! Sorry it took so long to update this, been really busy. Thank you xXxXMomoXxXx for always reviewing!


I woke up blearily to find myself in the comforts of my bed instead of the tree branch. I sat up; someone had found me sleeping in the trees and brought me back. My uniform was on but my white jacket was taken off and at the end of my bed was Hinako sitting still. The pale moon hit my window reflecting a spotlight where I sat, it was sad. I wrapped my arms around my legs and tried not to cry.

After years of living with Father and his family, I learned quickly where my place was and to only rely on myself. I learned to stop believing in fairytales and not to show emotion, because it was weak. I tried leaving many times but every time I was caught my punishment became more and more severe with every attempted escape.

It's been years since I've seen my mother, if it wasn't for Onii-sama I would have never gotten Hinako on my birthday when I was fourteen. Mother's pastime was making dolls, she had made me a doll when I was six that looked exactly like me and then she made me one of what she thought I would look like at fourteen. It surprisingly looked exactly like me, even down to the short hair.

I missed her more than anything. For the longest time it was just me and her and I was content with that; I never cared that I didn't have a father present and that every child in town had one. It never bothered me. I did ask her once about whom my father was and why I didn't have one. I saw the expression on her face when I asked and I never wanted to see that expression ever again, it broke my heart. Mother never really got over father, I knew deep down she still loved him and refused to let him go.

I could never really understand why she still loved him, getting to know him now he wasn't the best father. Sure he never partook in Chiyo-sama and Onee-sama's constant jeering and insults, by he was always cold to me and didn't care about what happened to me.

"Mother…" I whispered silently and buried my head on my folded knees and let out a few tears.

The dorm was strangely empty but then again it was early in the morning, so they could have been all sleeping. I finally made my way out of my room, checking the mirror before I left. Carefully, I closed the door hoping not to disturb anyone. I was hoping to be alone; I didn't want anyone giving my strange looks because of yesterday. I quickly made my way down the two way staircase finally noticing another presence.

"K-Konoe-sama, I didn't think anyone would be awake," the chairman's adopted daughter said bowing at me.

"If you didn't think so, then what are you doing here? Kaname-sama perhaps?" I stopped descending midway down the stairs and jumped the rest of the way down, landing gracefully in front of her. "You're blood smells so good," I commented, inching my face closer to her. My body had been rejecting the blood tablets mainly because I wasn't use to the pseudo blood and keeping Hinako animated took a lot of strength. It started to become more and more difficult to keep Hinako in control.

Yuuki stared at me stunned at my sudden forwardness, her eyes wide open. "I-I…" she stammered out. I was loosing control of my bloodlust and these were the times I wish I kept Hinako animated to keep me in check and to control me when something went wrong. It also didn't help that Yuuki's blood was oddly enticing.

I sighed, remembering I couldn't get away with drinking her blood because then I would have to kill her or else she would turn into a Level E vampire. That and Kaname seemed to have an affinity to her if I tried anything with her, he would most likely kill me on the spot. "Your blood is as appealing as a pureblood's. I wonder why?" I said eerily as I played with her hair. She still had the same scared/shocked explression.

"Miyako-sama!" Yuuki instantly snapped out of her trance and stared behind me. I sighed and dropped her hair and turned around to look at Takuma.

"Ichijo-Sempai!" Yuuki bowed to the vice-president and my fiancée. "I-I was just looking for Kaname-sama," she stuttered out.

"He should be in his room," he said with a friendly smile playing on his lips. I got annoyed with the intrusion and walked away.

Yuuki bowed again, a blush strewn across her face. "Th-thank you!" she said and ran up the stairs.

I made my way past the sitting room when I felt a presence land behind me. "Miyako-sama, we should talk," he said seriously.

I stopped walking and paused letting a few seconds pass between us. "What's there to talk about?" I asked my voice and face void of all emotion.

"About yesterday-"

"You were telling your friends the truth." I cut him off and turned around to look at him, meeting his kind green eyes. "They're your friends; they have the right to know the truth about you."

"If you have no desire to marry me, you should tell me. I don't want to force you into anything you don't want to do. Especially because you're a pureblood and as one you must maintain that status," he said seriously with an obvious hint of sadness. Takuma was never one to hide his emotions.

I started to laugh in a contained manner, placing the back of my right hand over my mouth to cover my mouth. "You really think that we have a choice? Can you really deny Ichio-sama and I that witch? I'm bound by that witch, she will always have me by the chains," I spat out angrily, my Grandmother is the reason I was never able to be fully happy or happy at all.

Takuma was familiar with my relationship with Grandmother, but he didn't know half the things she had done to me or that I hated her with every fiber of my being. He had spent enough summers at the Konoe manor to know how Onee-sama and Chiyo-sama treated me, but what he didn't know was it was also father. He had tried once to stand up for me, but his help quickly fell to deaf ears. Grandmother and Ichio-sama dismissed him and commanded that he never speak of it again.

"Miyako-sama that isn't true," he tried to say but I ignored it.

I turned away from him, my bangs covering the front of my small face, "Besides, my blood is whore blood coming from a whore," I said and continued walking to my destination.

"Miyako-sama…" he called out sadly.
