Well, I'M BACK! Here's chapter 3, and I hope you all like it. Thank you to those of you who have added my story to your alert list, and those of you who have actually read my story. Now, onward to the story!
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight; I only own my OC and parts of the plot in this story. :]
Last time: There was a slight pause before either of use broke the silence. "Come with me, we should discuss these sorts of things with more privacy for your sake."
I shyly nodded, "Okay..." He smiled and put his arm around my waist and led me through the house-slash-mansion and up some stairs to the next level of his home. I was finally going to get my answers. There wasn't a doubt in my mind.
Kaname led me to this huge room with two sofas and a couple of beautiful dark cherry wood tables with wine glasses on top. The first thing that came to my mind was 'Wow, I didn't think vampires would be alcoholics'. Thankfully, I didn't say that out loud. I mean, the last thing I would need was to piss of a vampire. I had enough enemies at school and they were human. I couldn't imagine having a powerful vampire as an enemy.
We both sat down on the sofa, and he pulled me to him like he did on the first night I met him, only this time he was more relaxed. He put his arm around my shoulders and looked at me with a serious face. "Miyako, I want you to know that this is the safest place for you now that you've been reintroduced to vampires. No one will hurt you as long as I am with you."
As he said that he tightened his grasp around me, pulling me tighter to him. He seemed totally at ease, but I had an underlying feeling that he wasn't as carefree feeling as he appeared. "You said you had questions for me," he reminded. At some point, I had gotten lost in his voice and the warm cozy feeling of safety, "Oh, yes…"
I tried to unscramble my thoughts, and he seemed amused, "Or, was there another reason you came to see me?" To my ears, he sounded somewhat hopeful, but there was an after tone of regret or guilt. "Well," I started slowly, "I did want to see you again, in more ways than one." I had tensed slightly, afraid of what his reaction might be, but he only tightened his grip on me even more. I winced; he was holding me a little too tight.
Almost as if he had seen my discomfort, he finally loosened his grasp to a light gentle squeeze, "I'm sorry, I'm just glad you're here. Do you know about your origins?" I was a little surprised of the sudden subject change, but I decided to just go with the flow. "No, as a matter of fact, that was the one thing my parents always kept from me. I always wondered why, and I guess I know why now. Why do you ask; do you know about my origins?"
He had truly gotten me curious now, but he didn't seem as enthused as I was. "Well, it seems that you have been kept in the dark as well." My eyes darted to him, "What do you mean by 'as well'?" The more we got into this subject, the more he became less happy about it.
"It seems that someone had lead me to believe that you were dead, but against my better judgment I actually believed him. Instead of looking into it to see if it was true, I just lost all the hope I had left in life." My eyes grew wide.
I just stared him in the eye, and I could see the despair that still lingered in his eyes when he thought back on that time. I was getting lost in his eyes, and they really proved that old saying 'A person's eyes lead to their soul' true. I never broke eye contact, "How do you know all these things about me? Things that I don't even know about myself, and why can't I remember who you are? I wish I could remember you, but I just can't. I can't place you with anyone I've seen in my life. I'm sorry, Kaname."
I jumped when the door was slammed open abruptly finally making me break the spell his eyes put me under. I turned to see a girl, no doubt a vampire, with long curly blonde hair. She was beautiful in her own way, but I thought her face ruined her beauty. She had a 'hard' face, one where you just know they're a little stuck up.
I finally noticed that Kaname wasn't by my side anymore, but he was restraining the girl who seemed to want to rip me to shreds. Kaname spoke in a cold voice, "What are you doing here? Didn't I ask not to be interrupted?" She growled, "But she's just a human! She shouldn't even be allowed in this house, much less to speak with you so privately!" "Ruka! That's enough, I invited her here and she's my honored guest. She will be welcome here always, and she's to be treated with the same respect that I receive." I've never heard his voice so cold before, and I was silently glad his anger was directed at me. She stopped growling at me, but she still looked at me with glowering hatred.
"Now, apologize to Miyako and then get out," when he said that her face had even more despise and distaste for me. "I apologize, Miyako. I shall now take my leave of you." She strutted out the door with a flick of her long hair. Even after she left Kaname's eyes still had some lingering rage, and I would almost say he may be plotting her death, but somehow I knew he was just very displeased with her.
After some comforting actions from me he returned to his old self and continued where he left off. "Your origins are rare; in fact, they're one of a kind. You came from a family of purebloods." I had to interrupt, "Purebloods?" He smiled at how naïve I was about my supposed own kind.
"Yes, Purebloods are vampires who have the power to turn humans into vampires. Though you were born from a Pureblood family, you somehow turned out human. You had no characteristics of a vampire, yet you were conceived by vampires. The elders in the clan saw it as a sin to keep you alive." My intake of breath clearly showed my sadness and surprise. "Why?" my voice cracked, and I found myself feeling sad for the parents I never knew.
Kaname took my hand and held it as he continued his tale. "The elders saw it as a sin and a bad omen. They thought it best to kill you on spot. So, that night I took you away from there where you were only five years old. I could tell what they were planning to do to you. When I got you away safely I took you memories, but I only took away your memory that vampires exist. Other than that you should still remember other things about your old home. I also took away all of your painful memories, but all the happy ones you should be able to remember. The only way for you to forget everything is if someone else wiped your memory clean."
His expression was the same as the night he saw Kiryu, blank and empty. "How do you and Kiryu know each other?" I watched his expression change from blank to furious. "Kiryu is not one to be trusted now. He knows I'm here, and now he knows what will eventually become of you." He looked down with an unusual face. He looked sad with a touch of excitement.
That small bit of excitement was enough to make me think. I thought about how dangerous this really was, I mean being alone in a house full of vampires wasn't exactly the safest thing. "How dangerous is this?" I asked in a controlled voice, "I mean being here. The fact that I'm human doesn't seem to affect you at all, but Ruka doesn't seem that controlled around me and then there's Aidou. Why is it that only you seem to be alright around me?"
He answered me back in the same controlled voice, "This is the safest place for you, by my side. As long as you are with me no harm from any vampire will come to you." I can really say that I do feel safe around him, almost like nothing in the world could hurt me. I leaned into Kaname's side and his arm automatically found itself around my waist.
"Miyako, it's time for you to go home. Your parents will be up in a little while. I don't want you to be in trouble for sneaking out if they find out, and then you wouldn't be able to come see me again." He smiled playfully. "I have one more question before I go," I said. "Yes?" I paused while I tried to find the right words. "What did you mean when you said 'what will eventually become of me'?
He sighed, "I tell you tomorrow when we have more privacy." I looked at him with confusion as he picked up a wine glass and threw it toward the window. I never heard it break, and instead it was caught by Aidou. Aidou looked ashamed at being caught eavesdropping on us. Then I noticed that window was open; I hadn't even heard him open it.
"Aidou," Kaname glared at him, "go find Ruka and both of you wait for me in the library." Aidou was gone in a flash, and Kaname escorted me out. I was far more relaxed now than I was when I first came. As we came out of the last door to get to the living area, I was surprised to find it very occupied. It was full of vampires, and although I was human no one seemed bothered by my presence.
I suddenly remembered Kaname saying I was safest by his side, and that was when I knew I was truly safe. He led me to my car, "Goodnight, Miyako," he said as he gently killed my cheek. I smiled and he started back to his house, and I started back to my own house. Once I was home I tried to go to sleep, but everything that had happened kept replaying in my mind. My fingers came up to my cheek he kissed, and finally I fell asleep with a smile planted firmly on my face.

Alright, and that's the end of chapter 3! Now you all know a little bit more about Miyako's past, and even more will be revealed in the next chapter! Thank you for reading, and I hope you liked it! It was slightly longer, but later chapters will be even longer hopefully. I'm half asleep, so I'm sorry if there are some errors.
