"So how are you here now?" I questioned him.

"You're uncle. Rido. Stole your brother when he was a baby and used him to bring me back," the pure hatred in his voice shocked me, "Juuri and Haraku were crushed, but treated me as their son. Conveniently, the child and I had the same name." My eyes widened as the memory during feeding came to me.

'Blood everywhere….the same coffin…' At that thought, the cold marble my hand rested on seemed to become colder. My heart began pounding harder and my mouth fell open.

"So…I'm engaged to the ancestor of the Kuran family…the most powerful Kuran…ever born…" He looked impressed for a brief moment at my knowledge, "Why keep this from me?" I questioned, "Why did everyone keep this from me?"

"We were going to tell you at this age anyway. Before Rido killed you're parents…and Juuri placed you in my care. I would have cared for you regardless of her wishes or not. I was so attached to you…so much in love with you…" He rambled. I smiled at him.

"This doesn't change who you are." I told him, slipping my hands out from underneath his and up to his face. "To me, you are still Kaname. The man I love and want to spend forever with." I kissed him lips gently.

'So technically,' the voice whispered, 'there was a woman before you. The mother ancestor of the Kuran family.'

I shut the voice out and focused on the hurting man in front of me. I pulled away from his lips and slid my hands down to his chest. Then I laid my head on his chest. The beats of his heart gave me the courage to say what I knew I must.

"Poor Kaname…keeping this to yourself all these years…I was rather cruel to you, wasn't I?" I pulled away from his chest to look at his face.

"Yes." Kaname answered without hesitation. I laughed lightly at his boldness.

Tilting my head to the side and running my finger over his chest, I declared, "I'm going to spend forever trying to heal you're battered soul. I'm going to spend forever, making you smile and feeling my love over and over again. Each time you will feel it, I hope that it takes you're breathe away."

'I hope that I will be only one in your heart and on your mind.' I added silently. I looked up at him as his hands closed over mine on his chest.

"You already do that, Yuki," he informed. Leaning down, he gently nuzzled my neck. "I can taste your devotion in your blood stream. You're blood weaves a tale of love, devotion, and pain. All of which I have caused."

"I will not deny it. My heart, soul, and blood is yours," as if to test my statement he lifted my wrist to his mouth. And bit down.

'It has been a while since either of us fed. For me three days…him a week.' Guilt ran through me at that thought. 'I'd fed off Zero only three days ago…Kaname hasn't fed on me in a week…' I knew that he could hear my thoughts through my blood and I couldn't help but add, 'take all you want Kaname…make me weak…it's only fair…I've hurt you so much…why do you still want me…love me…' He bit down harder. 'Ah!' Pain coursed through my wrist. I looked down at him only to see him looking back at me. Once more I got that silly image of Kaname in suspenders hitting my hand with a ruler saying "Bad Yuki." and I giggled. Kaname's eyes flicked from scolding to amused. He pulled free from my wrist and looked at me.

"I love you because you give me peace of mind. I love you because I need you. I need you because I love you. You're my world, life, and the reason I breathe. I love you for everything you do. Now what exactly was that image about?" He asked.

"Well…." I blushed, "my thought process was getting a little to…" I fished for the appropriate word, one that wouldn't make me sound like a pervert, "graphic…and that image just came into my head…afterwards…" I knew my growing blush was giving me away. He threw an arm around my shoulders.

"Come on, let's leave this room behind." He offered. I nodded and leaned into him. Still I took one last look at his once upon a time resting place and wondered:

'Is that what he'll wish to be buried in now?'

I turned my head to look at Kaname briefly as we walked.

"I love you…" I breathed. He turned his head and smiled at me.

"I love you too."

"So does the fact that you're my ancestor mean that you know how to change a diaper?" I questioned. He laughed.

"I suppose it does."

"You know I'm a little jealous," I pointed out, "you caught a huge head start on knowledge. That and you know all the little secret powers. I've just found that we have an odd amount of strength when stressed…" He looked at me confused and I slapped my hand over my mouth.

"How did you figure this out?" He questioned.

"Go look at the basement door.." I groaned. He nodded and I followed him downstairs.

"You…ripped…off…the doorknob…" He said slowly. I blushed.

"Um…yeah…well you see what happened was…" I started. "I went down the basement…to clean…and…memories…led me to running out and yeah…broken doorknob. Sorry you've got to fix it though…." I blushed.

'Maybe I should've said the other….I'm sure the sarcastic conversation I imagined in my head would have worked all the more better…because what I just said made me feel like an idiot...' I thought as I watched him look between the door and me. He shook his head then laughed.

"I do suppose it's time to educate you on some of the finer points of being a Pureblood. The first thing I will teach you will come in handy when dealing with nobles, but can also become handy in the bedroom." I blushed that. He smirked. "Control."

"Control?" I repeated slowly.

"Yes. For instance," he paused, "Kiss me." His voice became powerful and I felt my feet moving forward. Against my will, I found my lips on his. He deepened the kiss and I found my thought process floating away. Suddenly, it didn't matter if he'd forced me to do it or not, I was just happy to have his lips on mine again. He pulled away from me finally.

"Control…" I said, dazed, "is amazing…" He laughed.

"You haven't even controlled anyone yet," Kaname said, "it was just the kiss."

I drew in a deep breathe and copied the exact tone he had, "Kaname, kiss me." I demanded, pushing all the authority I had in my voice. He leaned forward and kissed my lips before pulling away.

"Good job," before I knew what he was doing, I found myself thrown over his shoulder and carried upstairs. "Now, let's practice some more." I blushed powerfully as he opened our bedroom door and kicked it shut. A splintering crack filled the room followed by a low groan and giggle.

"Mm…really sexy, Kaname. Kicking a hole in our door…you'll just have to fix it…" I teased.

"Hmm…you're right. But right now I have more important matters to attend too," Kaname's voice was pure sensuality. Before I could shut down, I reminded myself:

'He said that he had something to teach me. This is purely for practice. Don't let him distract you from it.'
