Chapter 32
Victoria was walking through the halls. Trying to practice on how to be elegant but each time she tried going down stairs she would always fall in the end.
"Man I hate this!" Screamed Victoria. "Why the hell do I have to do this? I'm done with this book on the head it's so annoying!" Victoria can hear a chuckle and looked behind her to see...
"Onee-sama." Said Victoria.
"I expected my cute twin little sister to actually pull this off." Said Yuuki taking the book that was on the floor. "Plus are you really wearing that to the party." Victoria wasn't wearing anything fancy. She was wearing a skirt and a comfortable black and white t-shirt.
"Of course not, Onee-sama." Said Victoria standing up from the ground. "Plus these high heels are really stupid." Victoria can feel someone embracing from behind.
"You need to keep practicing." Said the person. Victoria and Yuuki looked behind Victoria to see Kaname.
"Onii-sama." Said Victoria pouting. "No matter how hard I try I just can't do it. I'm not elegant like mother or Onee-sama." Victoria was released from Kaname's hold and took the book from Yuuki. Victoria sighed.
"You don't need to be like me or mother, Victoria." Said Yuuki. Victoria stopped and looked at Yuuki. "You just need to be you." Victoria didn't know what to say as she remembered something from the other world with her other parents.
Flashback
Victoria POV
I was only 8 years old when I was crying in a corner. I kept crying in my room not even paying attention to the knocking or the people calling my name, until someone realized that I didn't look the door.
"What's a matter, Victoria?" Said someone. I looked up to see Father.
"Father..." I said.
"Why are you crying?" Said Father.
"I can't do it!" I screamed.
"Can't do what?" Said Father.
"I can't do anything. I tried to help Mother with the dishes but they all broke. I try to help Big sis with her paintings but in the end they were all must up. I even tried to help you with your work. And I keep getting the way of your work." I said looking down. "I know I get your guys way. I know it. I just want to be like you guys." Father was starring at me for long time. It was just silence, so silent you can hear the smallest thing drop to the floor or hear something from distance and it make a huge echo in the room. Before I knew it I felt something really warm. I looked up at Father to see he has his arms around me and kissed my forehead.
"Victoria, we really do appreciate you are helping us. We don't think you are in the way. We will never think that." Said Father. "And you don't have to be like us."
"I don't." I said.
"No." Said Father shacking his head left and right. "We only want you to be you. Remember Victoria is their no one better than being yourself." I nodded and smiled hugging my father.
Flashback end
Nobody's POV
'Remember Victoria their is no one better than being yourself.' Victoria remembered her adopted father's words even that long ago. "I know."
"Victoria?" Said Yuuki.
"I can't be you. I can't be mother. I can only be me." Said Victoria with a smile. Kaname walked up to her and patted her head.
"You remembered something from your time at the other world." Said Kaname.
"You always know what it's in my head onii-sama." Said Victoria looking up at Kaname. Kaname gave her peck on the cheek.
"What did you remember?" Said Kaname.
"Something about just being yourself." Said Victoria giving him a kiss on the cheek but letting her lingering it only for couple of seconds. Kaname can feel softness and the warmth that was from her lips. Kaname smiled and looked down at Victoria. Kaname looked down at her hands and smiled. "Onii-sama?" Victoria tilted her head.
"It's nothing." Said Kaname.
"Yuuki-sama, Victoria-sama." Said someone. They turned around to see Mimi coming down. "Have you seen Kaoru he should be here by now?"
"I think he went outside again." Said Yuuki. Victoria looked at Kaname.
"You knew that Kaoru was going to the meeting with you so he went ahead and is going to wait for you, right?" Said Victoria. Kaname raised a brow and was surprised, but he was smiling.
"You really are a smart girl, Victoria." Said Kaname. "Yes. Kaoru is waiting for me in the place where the meeting is being held. While Mimi will help you with the party at the Aidou residence." Victoria looked at Mimi but Mimi can see that Victoria was worried.
"And Zero..." Said Victoria in whisper. Everyone looked at Victoria.
"Zero will be attending the meeting and the party." Said Kaname. Victoria flinched at hearing this.
"I see." Said Victoria. Victoria tried to hide her nervous with a smile. "Oh well...It can't be help that he is going right, Onee-sama?"
"Victoria." Said Yuuki. Victoria turned around to the stairs.
"I know." Said Victoria. Kaname and Yuuki looked at her, but Mimi just looked somewhere else. She knew what she is going to say. "I decided that I would stay here with Onii-sama and Onee-sama. I decided to leave the world that I was raised and lived in my original world." Victoria's hands were in a fist. She turned her head to Kaname and Yuuki trying to give them a smile. "I know that part of heart belongs to Zero, yet..." Victoria couldn't finish her sentence. 'I don't understand. This path I chosen really is difficult.' Victoria was out of her thoughts she when she feels someone's chest on her back.
"I know it hurts to see Zero." Said soft voice. Victoria knew very well that it was Kaname. "You made a lot of sacrifice to stay here with us. Everything is going to be alright. You will soon see Zero again."
"But you must remember the promise you and Zero kept." Said Yuuki. Victoria nodded her head and hugged Kaname back.
'That's right I made the decision to stay here. I want to stay here with Onii-sama and Onee-sama.' Victoria thought. Victoria released the hug from Kaname and looked at him. This time Victoria truly did smile at him. "You need to be going to the meeting soon Onii-sama." Kaname nodded and turned to Yuuki.
"Be safe." Said Yuuki. Kaname walked to the doors wearing his jacket and saying see you soon before he head out. Victoria sighed.
"If only I can do something stupid as to keep this book on my head." Said Victoria. Yuuki sighed and grabbed the book from Victoria's hand. "Onee-sama!" Yuuki just kept walking.
"We must go to the Aidou's residence. You didn't think Onii-sama was going outside alone did you?" Said Yuuki smiling. Victoria's eyes were wide and once she opened the door she can see Kaname waiting for them. Kaname smiled.
"You already told her Yuuki. I wanted to see her reaction when I was still here, but I guess it's like this." Said Kaname. Victoria's eyes were wide and she looked at Yuuki and Mimi. Mimi already had Yuuki's and Victoria's stuff ready for the Aidou's house. Victoria sighed.
"You guys really like to tease me." Said Victoria. Kaname and Yuuki laughed looking at Victoria's pouting face. They were walking to the limo when Kaname, Victoria, Yuuki, and Mimi wnet the Aidou's residence. They can see Ruka waiting for them and Akatsuki.
"I'll be back. I'm going to meeting." Said Kaname. Victoria kissed his cheek.
"Good luck." Said Victoria.
Ruka showed Yuuki and Victoria to their rooms. Yuuki was already ready waiting for her sister inside with Ruka and the maids.
"Well then, shall we start?" Said Ruka.
"Come one, Victoria you need to get ready." Said Yuuki.
"Onee-sama, Ruka... I'm not so sure about this after all... It might be dangerous... I'm worrying more and more..." Said Victoria. Yuuki sighed and Ruka went berserk telling her that maids of the Aidou family can hear her. Ruka turned to the maids.
"Do not mind that. You can preceed!" Said Ruka. Victoria looked behind her to see the maids coming towards her taking off her clothes.
"I can do it myself! Onee-sama help me! Gyaah!" Screamed Victoria. Once the Maids were done Ruka grabbed Victoria's hand.
"Well then... let's start with the manicure. I'll do your nails for you so that they're just right." Said Ruka.
"Um...Uh..." Said Victoria. Yuuki looked at Victoria's nails.
"Huh? They are already better than before. They're so well done that we can leave it." Said Yuuki. Yuuki and Ruka looked at Victoria to see her blushing.
"I see." Said Ruka.
"Onii-sama did you nails didn't he, Victoria?" Said Yuuki.
"I told him there was no need for it and the he could stop, but... he wouldn't stop in fact he didn't want to stop. He said that 'This is far too much fun. I just can't stop now, no matter what you say of it...' He even did my feet too. He was so good at it too. It's amazing." Said Victoria.
"Hmmm..." Said Yuuki. Victoria had a blank face.
"Though I'm still wondering how he was so good at doing manicure or why he even learn to do that?" Said Victoria.
"Tell me about it...He's completely hopeless, isn't he...but well..I'm so glad that you two are getting along well..." Said Ruka.
"Ruka..." Said Victoria.
"Oh by the way... the meeting with the hunters is being held in the last floor of this same building isn't it?" Said Ruka. Victoria's eyes were wide.
"Victoria, at the ball you meet many people at the ball." Said Yuuki. "You might feel nostalgic because of that, but please don't forget to remain ladylike, okay?"
"I will be care, Onee-sama." Said Victoria.
Kaoru was in the meeting behind Kaname listening to the conversation. Kaoru had no interested in listening to this. It did not concern him at all. But what really surprised was seeing Zero and what Kaname was saying to Kaien.
"Chairman... No Mr. President... Victoria and Yuuki are doing well. She'sll be at the party later, so you'll able to calmly spend time with them."
"I wil,l thank you." Said Kaien. Kaien was going to say something but someone interrupted him. Someone that Kaoru knew very well.
"Wow. I'm surprised you didn't tell me about Victoria, president." Said a man's voice. Kaoru looked up to see...
"Kai." Said Kaien.
"She is our daughter too, president." Said a woman's voice.
"Nancy, you know your suppose wait outside." Said Kai. Nancy chuckled.
"Well when I heard about Victoria I couldn't help but listen." Said Nancy looking at Kaname. "It's been a long time, Kuran-san." Nancy looked up to see Kaoru. "Kaoru-san. Or should I say prince Kaoru." Everyone looked at Kaoru.
"Nancy, Kai what are you doing here? Don't tell me you asked Jake to bring you to this world." Said Kaoru saying. Kaoru looked at everyone. "I'm sorry everyone. I'll take these two out. Please continue on your meeting." Kaoru, Nancy, and Kai all head out of the meeting and were now in the hallway.
"What are you two doing here?" Said Kaoru.
"We came to see our daughter, Kaoru." Said Kai.
"Alright, but was that really necessary to say Prince Kaoru, Nancy?" Said Kaoru.
"Of course it was. You are the prince of your planet. After all you're Kaoru III feather." Said Nancy.
"Yes, I'm aware of that. But if you wish to see Victoria you must wait like everyone else to see. Wait at the ball and you will see Victoria." Said Kaoru. The parents nodded their heads and went to the direction of the ball. Kaoru was in front of the doors at the meeting when the doors open behind him to see Kaname was first heading out. Kaname and Kaoru were walking to the direction were Victoria's room was.
"Prince Kaoru?" Said Kaname with a smile.
"Shut up. You know I am the prince of my planet Kaname-sama. Don't try and act like you don't know." Said Kaoru.
"Yes I know everything. Besides I was the one that helped you and Mimi become lovers." Said Kaname.
"Kaname-sama!" Said Kaoru yelling at him but Kaname just smiled. Kaname and Kaoru saw Akatsuki. Kaoru waited outside and Kaname was heading inside the room. Kaname knocked on the door.
"Victoria, may I enter?" Said Kaname. Victoria was siting on the bed with Yuuki siting on the chair.
"Onii-sama." Said Yuuki.
"Onii-sama..." Said Victoria.
"Yuuki you look amazing." Said Kaname. Kaname looked at Victoria. "That won't do... you had promised that tonight you'd exceptionally spend the night calling me simply 'Kaname' hadn't you? Well...Victoria." Kaname stretched his hand towards her."Let's go."
Victoria took Kaname's hand and was knowing heading to the ball. She can hear people whispering. Everyone was looking at Yuuki and Victoria. Victoria's hair was up a little and had a jewels around her neck. She was wearing a Caribbean blue dress with a white ribbon below her chest and the dress reached all the way to the floor. Kaname was whispering something in her ear. Victoria's eyes were wide. She looked to see her left but her face was still straight ahead. Victoria's eyes were now even wider.
