Chapter 31
Victoria was still touching Kaname's cheek in front of the doors.
"...And here I was wondering...what you were going to say..." Said Kaname. Victoria pulled back her hand from Kaname's cheek, but Kaname pulled her wrist and put her hand over his cheek again. He put his hand over Victoria's hand that was on his cheek. "Victoria, I would never reject you because of something like that. Of course you can stay with me forever." Victoria's eyes were wide.
'Please don't look at me with those eyes.' Victoria thought.
"It's okay, Victoria..." Said Kaname. "I don't mind that there's one more person in your heart. A Victoria without a heart full of love and compassion wouldn't be the real you anyway." Kaname was getting close to her. "Even though you feel for him also you have still said you wanted to stay by my side forever...even though choosing only one would mean you would probably suffer forever..."
'No, don't.' Victoria thought. Kaname touched her cheek and was close to kiss her. 'No.'
"It's precisely because of this, the very proof that you truly love me in your heart, that..." Said Kaname.
'No!' Victoria thought pushing Kaname away. "I don't... I don't deserve to be kissed by you!"
"Vic-" Said Kaname. Victoria looked up at Kaname and turned around.
"...I'm sorry." Said Victoria walking away. She can hear Kaname's footsteps following her. 'Don't follow me.' Victoria started to run and Kaname moved faster. 'Please stop!' Before Victoria can walk to a moved to another corner Kaname embraced her, stopping her. Victoria looked at him with sad eyes.
"Victoria..." Said Kaname."What's wrong...? Just a moment ago, you've said you wanted to be next to me. ...And yet, you're the one pulling away...?" Victoria closed her eyes and her hands were in a fist. She looked at Kaname with confident eyes.
"That's because... a wish as cruel as mine couldn't possibly be forgiven or granted." Said Victoria.
"It's true that you... That you are... cruel, and a terrible fiancee, Victoria..." Said Kaname.
'Then...' Victoria can feel her heart being torn to pieces. She pushed Kaname but he had his hands on her arm's. "I know that's exactly what I was talking about! Which is why... which is why if you won't reject me for it yourself, then I must punish myself on my own..." Victoria was know struggling for him to let go of her. "If you really think I'm so bad, then just let go of me...!" She was going to turn around but Kaname pulled her arm to turn to him.
"I can't do that, Victoria." Said Kaname. "I can't possibly... let go of you..." Victoria's eyes were wide and Kaname tighten his hold on her wrist, and pulled her to his chest. "If the only option I had was to lose you, then I... I would prefer death instead, be it yours be my hand, or... or, could you please kill me then, Victoria...?"
"What?" Said Victoria. Her heart was beating.
"Oh, I know what we could do, Victoria... I could get Hope back at the upcoming meeting with the hunters, and..." Said Kaname.
'You are too cruel as well, Onii-sama.' Victoria thought. Kaname touched her cheek and closed the distance.
"...And then you could put an end to my life with it, by your own hands..." Said Kaname kissing her. Victoria's heart was beating and she can feel her face heat up. Kaname released the kiss and put his thumb on her lips to see her blush.
"That was too cruel." Said Victoria. "You can't be speaking seriously... anyway." Kaname smiled and embraced her again.
"You really... don't realize, do you Victoria...?" Said Kaname. "You know, Victoria, I... I receive with complete delight absolutely anything that is given to me by you. ...Even if it was a cruel demand, simply pain, or even the blade to take my life, I would welcome it, coming from you, Victoria... You are the only one who brings color into the dull grey of ashes that my heart is." Victoria was listening to his steady beats of his heart and the blood flowing through his body. She was also listening to her own heart beat.
"I didn't know that my onii-sama had such a masochistic streak." Said Victoria. Kaname looked down at Victoria to see her eyes close.
"...You're listening to the sound of the blood flowing in my veins aren't you, Victoria?" Said Kaname. "...It's fine, Victoria..." Victoria looked up at Kaname. "You must be thirsting my blood, aren't you...? If you are, then please... give me more pain, Victoria...?" Kaname was caressing her hair seeing her eyes go wide. "Take only my blood to prey upon... This will be... the punishment you wanted..." Kaname moved away a little.
Victoria unbutton his jacket so that she can see his neck clearly. "Onii-sama... I feel the same as you, I would welcome anything you felt like doing to me..." Said Victoria.
"I know..." Said Kaname. He was on his knees looking up at Victoria. Victoria cupped his face.
"...My onii-sama... so strong, and beautiful." Said Victoria reaching down to his neck and licking his neck. Kaname wrapped his arms around her. "...How is it possible that you are mine...?" Victoria pierced Kaname neck drinking his blood greedily.
"...'How'... You ask..." Said Kaname.
Yuuki and Mimi were in library when they smelled Kaname's blood.
"Lord Kaname is home." Said Mimi.
"So it seems. Victoria is drinking his blood." Said Yuuki. Mimi nodded. "Say Mimi..." Mimi turned to face Yuuki who was still reading her book. "...Where is Kaoru?"
"He went outside somewhere." Said Mimi.
Kaoru was in the forest when he heard a woman scream something about her lord slumbers and he shall not be disturbed. Then woman asked of the two people to leave.
Kaoru looked at the two people who the woman was talking to. He sees Ruka and Akatsuki, he heard Ruka saying something about the Kuran clan. Kaoru decided it was time for him to reveal himself.
"I don't think that Hanadagi family wants to get involve with Kuran Clan, Ruka, Akatsuki." Said Kaoru. The woman looked at Kaoru pointing her staff at him.
"Kaoru." Said Ruka.
"I presume you are the guardian of this place." Said Kaoru talking to the woman.
"Yes I am." Said the woman. "..And you?"
"I am the butler that served Kuran family for generation. My name is Kaoru." The woman lowered her staff.
"Then you must know that my lord and his family has chosen to sleep for five hundred years...and that there are still four hundred years left before the time for them to awaken comes, so please...have your former king use his influence to forbid the vermin from coming here to disturb my lords' slumber... For those who journey through eternity, moments of rest like these are sometime necessary to regain their spirits..."
'Whatever reason they decided to sleep this long must have been something horrifying.' Kaoru thought.
"...When they are so worn out that... everything seems to turn brittle and fall apart in their hands..." Said the woman.
Victoria was still drinking Kaname's blood when she sees something. A man who was a vampire with a broken mirror crying and screaming.
"Everything...shatters to pieces and crumbles away... slipping between fingertips...and when I noticed...I was completely alone..."
Victoria didn't know it but she was crying and she didn't why.
"Huh?" Said Victoria touching her tears. Victoria stopped drinking blood from Kaname and looked up at the doors behind Kaname were she thought she smelled Kaname. The tears in her eyes was falling down to her cheek. There was blood on her chin.
"...What's behind that door...?" Said Victoria. Victoria can feel Kaname tighten his hold on Victoria to him. Victoria looks at Kaname and hugs him back. Her hands tangled in his hair. Victoria looked at the doors.
'Onii-sama... do you know something behind that door?' Victoria thought
Yuuki was done with her book and looked through the library.
"I know you are worried about Zero as well, Yuuki-sama." Said Mimi. Yuuki walked to shelf where it held her favorite books.
"I won't say that I am not worried, but what I am worried is how Victoria is going act when she sees him at the meeting." Said Yuuki. They heard a knock and looks to see Kaoru.
"Kaoru." Said Mimi. Kaoru smiled at Mimi and Yuuki.
"Are you alright?" Said Yuuki.
"I'm fine Yuuki-sama. I smell Kaname-sama's blood." Said Kaoru.
"Yes, Victoria-sama was drinking from Lord Kaname." Said Mimi.
"Did she tell him about half of her heart that belongs to Zero?" Mimi and Yuuki nodded.
"But..." Said Yuuki. Mimi and Kaoru looked at Yuuki. "You seem to tell us something else, Kaoru?"
"Yes." Said Kaoru. "I found Takuma Ichijou and he is with a pureblood named Sara Shirabuki."
Victoria was walking down stairs with a book on her head.
"Oh man...I really don't like this. I never whore high heels it's way to hard with the high heels. Especially with the book on my head." Said Victoria. Victoria missed placed her step and was going to fall. "Oh no!" Victoria jumped and held a perfect landing. "Okay that was a way to perfect landing." Victoria chuckle she sees a hand reach to her and look up to see Kaname smiling at her.
"Victoria... you're really working hard on those exercises Ruka gave you." Said Kaname. Victoria blushed.
"Yeah... we'll Onee-sama is better at this elegant stuff than I am. I don't really get or do I like it." Said Victoria blushing and smiling. Victoria reached Kaname's hand to help her stand up. "But it's fine. I'm confident enough that I can at least avoid doing any blunders that might get people laughing at you at the party, Onii-sama. I don't even want to make Onee-sama embarrassed as well." Victoria walked to the stairs. "By the way... I wanted to apologize to you... for all those things..." Victoria looked at Kaname. "Now, I can finally see clearly... the path I'll be walking on."
