Chapter 4
Yuki's Point of View
Three years later, Yuki is 15 years old, Kaname is 18 years old.
Yuki's Journal:
Its Saturday, December 17. Two days after my birthday. I came home from a walk, and, as usual, no one was home, except for the maids and the butlers. I still live with Kaname and, his mother, Rosetta. They have been very kind to me. Although they made me feel part of the family, I don't even know their last name, but I still have mine, Cross. Yuki Cross.
I handle most of the cooking now, since Kaname and Rosetta are mostly gone. It never bothered me, that they never told me where they went. I know a few things about them, like Rosetta is thirty-eight years old, Kaname is seventeen years old, and that they are very rich, which may explains the big house, and all the expensive things, like a few plasma TV's., grand piano, a Porsche (not to mention, its new.) Well, I could name many more things, but that will waste the next few pages.
Since my birthday was two days ago, I'd ask Rosetta and Kaname not to get me anything, because I was happy with what I had, which was a little more than the necessities. Well, anyways, they ignored my wish. Rosetta gave me a 400,000 gift card for a shopping spree. Kaname got me two things. One was a really expensive make-up box with all the name brand make-up inside. The other thing was a new cell phone. This phone was nothing like I've seen before. I don't think its even out yet.
Its not that I don't like the gifts, I think there are great, but I really didn't need all of this. The things I do around the house is cooking, and make sure my room is clean. We have maids and butlers to do most of the other stuff.
Oh! I almost forgot to mention, the last gift from both Rosetta and Kaname, was a teacup yorkie. She was so small, she could fit inside my hands. I was a little surprise to get a puppy, since I told them last year that I missed my old puppy, Bonnie. I guess they decided to get me one. I decided to name the teacup yorkie Twinkie. Not because of the color of her fur, but how small she was. Her fur was black with a white smug on her nose.
I think Kaname and Rosetta are home..
End of Yuki's Journal.
I ran downstairs to greet Kaname and Rosetta. "Welcome home!" I called from the top of the grand staircase. They both looked up at me with smiles on their faces. I ran down the stairs and gave Kaname a big hug, and gave one to Rosetta one too.
"Hey there, Yuki. How long have you been home alone?" asked Kaname. He seemed concerned with me being alone.
"About an hour and thirty minutes... Not that long." I answer. Kaname gave me a worried look.
"It is a long time. I feel bad leaving you here alone." Kaname kept flickering his eyes to me and then to Rosetta. I glanced back to Rosetta, she gave Kaname a nod. I was a little confused by their silent conversation.
A minute passed with silence in the air, and Rosetta left the room. I watched her leave. Her foot steps were on beat.. Tap.. Tap.. Tap.. I look back to Kaname. He too a deep sigh, "Yuki. I know you don't like to remember the night your parents died-" I winced at the though. "But, there's something you need to know. You may not like it but, I'm going to have to tell you anyways. It for your own protection. You may not like vampires, but..." He took a deep breath, and Rosetta entered back into the room with different, comfortable, around the house, clothes. She stood by my side with her hands on my shoulders. "Yuki... I'm a... vampire." Kaname said finally. I was shocked when he said this. My mouth dropped and my eyes got wide. At that moment, I felt like I was about to fall over, but Rosetta's hands kept me from doing so.
"Yuki.. honey. Are you alright?" asked Rosetta. I didn't speak. I couldn't. How could I, when Kaname just told me he was a vampire?!
"How..." I said quietly, trying to get the question out. Kaname didn't answer, he just stared at me. Tears started to fill my eyes, and I just had to get away from them. I needed to be alone. And with that, I broke away from Rosetta's hands holding me, and ran upstairs.
"Yuki!" Rosetta called after me. I looked over my shoulder, and I saw Rosetta calling after me, and Kaname staring at the ground. As if he was hitting himself on the inside. I ran down the hall to the second stair case, and ran to my room. I bang the door shut, so hard, it woke up Twinkie, who was sleeping on my bed. I locked the door, and took my computer chair and put it under the handle, to help keep it lock. By now, I couldn't hold back the tears.
I can't believe it! Three years! And he couldn't tell me when I first came here! I'm so mad at him, and also at myself. I started to like him. Liked him more than I friend. I know he's older than me, and I tried to stop myself from liking him, but its hard for me to. I was getting so mad, that I had to grab my pillow and scream into it. I crawled on top of my bed and pulled my legs up to my chest and wrapped my arms around them. I couldn't stop the tears from falling down my cheeks. They were like a river, with a rapid current.
One hour passed, and I calmed down. Twinkie sat next to me, to give me comfort. She never made a bark or a crying sound, just silently sitting next to me. A sudden knock on my door made me jump. I didn't answer to the knock, but it talked. It was Kaname. "Yuki... Look. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, or scare you. I just thought it was the right time to tell you. I felt bad, to keep this from you, and not telling you where Rose and I go, which is on an assignment. Besides that, I thought I should tell you, because last year, you told me that your family are vampire hunters..." He voice trailed off.
A long paused went by, and I wasn't sure he was still there. "Can you answer me this?" I asked to see if he was still there.
"Of course. When do I not answer your questions?" He laughed. Which, as always, made my heart skip a beat. I could see him smiling even though the door was closed.
I went off on him with questions. "Why are you a vampire? Were you once human? If so, how did you become one? Why do you hunt vampires when you are one? AND why didn't you tell me until now?!" You can hear the anger in my voice when I asked the last question.
Kaname made a laugh to himself and took a deep breath, and started to answer all my questions. "I'm not sure why I am a vampire. Yes, I was once human, when I was young. I say when I was about ten years old. Its a long story to tell you how I became one, but later I will tell you. I hunt vampires because I try to keep peace, and a secret about their existence from the public. The government wants to keep it that way till the public is ready for it. Some vampires are like me, who won't even hurt a human. The friendly kind. And I'm not sure why I didn't tell you until now. I guess I thought it was the right time. By the way, are you going to keep me locked out, and keep yourself locked in?"
"Maybe... Besides I still have more questions to ask you." I stated.
"I'll only answer them, if you let me in. I promise I won't hurt you." He sounded as if he means it. I didn't say anything, but I got up and pulled the chair from under the door handle and unlocked the door and let Kaname in. I looked up at his eyes. They seemed to be filled with concern and worry. I headed back to my spot on my bed, next to Twinkie. Kaname came in, and took a seat on the computer chair.
" Okay, I'm ready for more questions." said Kaname.
I had to think what question I should ask him. "Is Rosetta a vampire?"
"No, she isn't." replied Kaname.
I didn't want to bomb him with more questions, so I asked the question that suddenly popped in my head. "Do vampires have any special powers?"
Kaname started to laugh. Not his usual quiet one, but a big, loud one, and smiled my favorite smile. It took him a few minutes to calm himself down. "You have a good imagination, Yuki. Well to answer question, surprisingly, yes. Not all vampires, but some. I have a few, but not too many."
"Can you tell me what they are?" I asked the question so fast, it was kinda hard for me to understand what I just said.
"Sure. But you must promise, not to tell anyone what I've told you okay?" He seemed more serious when he asked this question.
"I promise." And I meant it.
"Okay, my first thing, or special power, is that I can hear people's thoughts. I could only hear them if I'm concentrating on that person, and they are thinking it. I've tried to listen to your thoughts, but some reason, I can't. Anyways, the other one, is that is someone had a cut or something that inflicts pain to the person, I can take the pain away from them."
"Really? That's cool." I said in amazement. I was just messing around with the whole 'Do you have powers' thing. But now I feel more comfortable with Kaname. I used to feel a wall between us, but now, it feels like its gone. Now that I know Kaname is a vampire, I just realize, that I'm in love with a vampire.
