Groaning lowly, Senri carefully placed Aikura down, upon an old beaten up single bed, while glancing his dull blue eyes around. The room he had been standing in was his old bedroom, within the old abandoned, and run down Shiki mansion. The place was owned by his mothers' uncle; however, no one had lived in the mansion for almost 5 and half years now. Not since he had pointed out to his mother that they were being watched, which had, however, caused for Lady Shiki to panic and request her uncle to move them instantly.
Sighing deeply to himself, Senri glanced around his old room, as his eyes landed on the small vanity table that was now coated in layers of dust. Raising a curious brow, Senri glanced back towards Aikura before turning his attention back towards his old vanity table. Sauntering slowly over to the oak wooden vanity table, Senri noticed the mirror was cracked in several places, while covered in dust, however something small caught his eye.
A dusted blue envelope was sitting upon the dusty side, written upon the front of the envelope read: 'Rido Kurans Son' this caused Senri to raise a curious brow, before lifting the envelope up, and shaking of the dust before turning it over and ripping the envelope open. While he walked slowly back over to the bed he had placed Aikura, as he pulled the several pieces of paper from the envelope and glanced over the neatly hand written letter before taking a deep breath and reading quietly to himself, after he had glanced back at Aikura to see that she still seemed to be sleeping
"Dear son of that man,
You don't know me, nor do I know you. I do know that you are an Aristocratic Vampire. Your mother is very pretty, she seems like a very loving women. I have seen her in many films, I really idolize her. I wish I could remember if my mother was ever that loving towards me; however I have been left on my own for almost 10 years now.
I have once noticed you staring back at me, I didn't think you had seen me, or even knew I was there. Yet your eyes seemed troubled, did I scare you? I hope I didn't. I just haven't been around many people, except for Lord Kaname Kuran. He is so kind and caring to me, he told me you were the son of Rido Kuran, and it is really strange though. We have a father of the same name, I wonder if it the same person, and I wonder if we are somehow related.
You may have noticed that I had been watching you for a couple of weeks by now, I don't mean to seem like a stalker, it is just, I for some reason seem drawn to you. I know we are different; you have a loving mother who looks after you. While I don't have my mother, she left me when I was only young, and I have never met my father. I only know his name, and that somewhere out in this big scary world, a man by that same name has a son. I don't know his name; I wish I had asked Kaname-Sama for his name.
Anyway, I don't even remember why I started writing this. I know that this is your room that I am sitting in; I have seen you sleeping in here. Sorry. At the moment you and your beloved mother are out, so I took this chance to sneak in, so I could write this letter. I would really like to be able to actually talk to you face to face, if that is okay with you of course.
If you can meet with me, please, please meet me down by the small lake behind your home in three days. I will be waiting to finally meet you properly, and hopefully get to know you.
Anyway, I hope we can be friends.
Kind and gentle regards
Aikura"
Senri just stared at the words written upon the three small pieces of paper, before glancing his eyes back towards Aikura, who still hadn't seemed to stir, and was still out cold. Sighing deeply to himself Senri glanced back at the words written
"You tried telling me all those years ago, didn't you Aikura?" Senri asked, knowing he wouldn't get a response as he sighed deeply before glancing back at the sleeping Pure blood Princess, "But I never saw this letter, I left this house with my mother. She got scared after I told her I noticed someone watching us, She thought it was my father"
"And Aikura never even knew you left" Kanames voice sounded, causing Senri to snap his eyes up towards the door way of his old bedroom, "Aikura was really hurt, she waited for you to go see her, she began to hate and fear everything around her"
"Kaname-Sama" Senri whispered lowly, before glancing back at Aikura, "We moved from this place, mother thought HE had sent lackeys to watch us" Senri explained, as he sighed deeply
"Exactly, she had every right to be frightened. Lady Shiki was a gentle woman, she really loved you Senri, and wanted you away from Rido so he couldn't use you" Kaname explained before turning his eyes towards Aikura, "You need to return her back to the Academy Senri"
"NO! Not when you have that Hunter ready to kill her!" Senri shouted, causing a small groan to slip from Aikuras lips, "I won't let you take her back, I know I don't stand a chance against you, but I won't let you just take her"
"Senri, Yagari isn't going to kill her. He only wounded her, so she didn't kill you" Kaname stated, as said hunter entered the room with his hands raised in a surrendering motion
"It is true, Kaname asked me to leave her wounded, so she didn't do something she would definitely regret later on" Yagari explained, glancing towards both of his vampire students, "That girl really loves you, everyone at the Academy, the entire night class knew of who her parents were an-"
"WHAT!?" Senri shouted, jumping to his feet, "Then why was I the only one who didn't know!?" Senri shouted, as he felt a weak grab for his right hand, causing Senri to dart his dull blue eyes down to stare down into Aikuras own icy blue eyes
"B-Because... I... W-wanted... to t-tell... you" Aikura spoke weakly, her blue eyes beginning to water again, as she stared up at Senri with fear lacing her eyes while tightening her grip as much as her weakened body would allow her
"Why did you wait? I would of preferred it if you didn't keep this from me" Senri stated, glancing his eyes away from Aikuras, before sighing deeply and turned his attention towards Kaname and Toga Yagari, "Could you leave please, I want to talk to Aikura ALONE"
"Of course Senri, Yagari-Sensei" Kaname spoke calmly, as both himself and the vampire hunter left Senris old room, only to see Takuma standing beside the stair way, with Zero leaning against the wall, "Everything will be fine Takuma. Aikura is awake, and they are talking"
"That is good. But how is Shiki?" Takuma asked lowly, worried about his two best friends.

While in Senris old room, Aikura had managed to pull herself to sit up, while Senri sat at the end of his bed while staring towards his half-Sister. Dull blue eyes gazed into icier blues; the letter Senri had read over was laying between them, as Aikura glanced towards the letter then back to Senri
"I'm... r-really sorry... Senri" Aikura whispered weakly, as she turned her eyes down to her hands that were sitting within her lap
"Just forget it, I don't want to hear it anymore" Senri stated, he already felt bad about the fact he had shouted at her, and caused for her to be shot by a Vampire Hunter bullet, when it dawned on him, his Pure Blood Vampire half-Sister had been shoot with Vampire hunter bullet, "How's your leg?"
"It hurts a little, and I am not healing" Aikura stated lowly, staring at the bullet hole within her left thigh before sighing deeply, "Guess... I will be leaving the Academy"
"Why? I thought you had nowhere else to go?" Senri asked, clenching his fists while staring at his half-sister
"B-because... I am not wanted there... and I need fresh blood to heal" Aikura stated, before sighing deeply, as she weakly shifted so she could swing her legs over the side of the bed, "So I will leave the academy... That way I can...-"
"NO! I won't let you leave the Academy! The Hunters are still after you, you think you could survive out there on your own!?" Senri shouted, not liking the fact that Aikura was refusing to return to the Academy, and that she would leave it
"So? It isn't... it isn't as if anyone would care" Aikura stated sadly, before glancing back towards Senri, "Plus... If I do end up dead because of the hunters... I won't be forced to kill anyone..."
"What is that meant to mean!?" Senri shouted, grabbing for Aikuras wrist and pulling her harshly, and causing her to land in his lap, "You really think Kaname would let the hunters kill you?"
"He... T-that demon... If I die... he... he can't-" Aikura started, before she felt a hand cover her mouth, preventing her from talking
"I won't let him near you. I may not be able to fight him, because he is a Pure Blood, but I can still try to protect you" Senri stated, before sighing deeply, "You need fresh blood to heal, right?" Senri asked, causing Aikura to stare up at him, before nodding weakly, "Then... Drink some of mine" Senri stated, removing his hand from around Aikuras mouth, before pulling her closer
"I... S-Senri... I can't..." Aikura stated, tears forming within her eyes, as she clutched at Senris top, "I can't..."
"Of course you can, you have done it several times now" Senri stated, with a small smile touching his lips, as he pressed his lips lightly to Aikuras forehead as he murmured, "Just do it, big sister"
"S-Senri..." Aikura gasped out, staring up at her half brother, before slipping her arms up and around Senris neck, before allowing her fangs to lengthen before swiftly pushing Senri down, and sinking her fangs deep into her brothers neck.

Almost two hours later, Senri carried Aikura out of the old abandoned Shiki Mansion, to see Kaname waiting for them along with Zero, Toga Yagari and Takuma. Sighing deeply, Senri handed Aikura over to Kaname, who swiftly and elegantly took the sleeping Pure Blood Princess into his own arms as he smiled towards Senri
"Good boy, now shall we return to the Academy? I am sure Rima is worrying about you both" Kaname stated softly, glancing his wine red eyes down towards his pure blood cousins sleeping face
"Yeah sure" Senri replied before sighing deeply, "Sorry for making everyone worry... But... I won't let you harm my sister" Senri stated, staring towards Zero and Toga Yagari
"I am not here to hurt her, Senri Shiki. I was only here in case she needed controlling" Toga Yagari stated, while raising his hands, before Zero groaned lowly causing Yagari to elbow him
"What?" Zero hissed, glaring at his master, before turning to Senri, "I won't hurt her, I was forced to follow"
"Hmph" Senri huffed, before turning to face Kaname and walked off with him and Takuma, as he glanced over his shoulder, "Just leave her alone"
"Whatever Vampire" Zero hissed out, following behind the three Vampires, and walking beside his Master with a low sigh.

Upon reaching Cross Academy, Yuki along with Kaien Cross and Kanames most trusted Night Class Vampires were stood waiting for them. As soon as Yuki laid eyes upon Kaname carrying Aikura, she gasped and ran over to them
"Is Aikura-Chan okay" Yuki asked worriedly before glancing up and seeing Senri walk past them all and head over to Rima
"Aikura is fine, she is just sleeping, but I should get her back to her room as soon as possible" Kaname stated, receiving nods from the Headmaster and Yuki, as Kaname turned to glance towards Rima, "Rima. Could you please keep an eye on Aikura for the rest of the night?"
"Of course Lord Kaname" Rima replied softly, turning her blue eyes back to Senri, "You should go back to your room and head to bed Senri"
"Yeah okay, Rima" Senri stated lowly, before walking off with Takuma, while Akatsuki had taken Aikura from Kanames arms, and carried her back to the moon dorms with Rima.
This left Kaname, along with Aidou Hanabusa, Ruka Souen, Yuki Cross, Kaien Cross, Zero Kiryu, and Toga Yagari. Sighing in exasperation, Kaname glanced his red wine eyes towards Yuki, before explaining that she should head off to bed, as it was getting late and she needed all her strength for the Annual Dance that was taking place the following night. Receiving a small nod, Yuki ran off after bidding the remaining night class students a good night, as Zero walked off stating he would go to bed also.
Sighing deeply, Kaname sent Hanabusa along with Ruka back to the moon dorms, while he himself went with Yagari and the Headmaster, back to the Kaien Cross's office where they could talk, and discuss what they could do to keep Aikura safe.

While back at the Dormitories, Hanabusa was sat on one of the two couches talking with Takuma, Akatsuki and Ruka. The three sat talking about Aikura, and Senri. Well they had been when they all glanced towards the stairs to see Senri leaning on the railing
"Hmph" Senri huffed, stretching his arms behind his head, before glancing down at his fellow night class men, "So, talking about me when I am not around?" Senri enquired, glancing his dull blue eyes around the faces of his class men
"Shiki, won't you come join us?" Takuma asked with a bright smile, "We were just talking about how worried we were about Aikura-Chan"
"Hmm, I am sure I heard you say my name also" Senri stated, with a shrug as he headed towards the top of the stairs, and began down them, "So..."
"How are we meant to talk about that topic now, Takuma?" Ruka asked, glaring towards said male, causing Takuma to chuckle lightly
"Hmm? You mean the one about my Half-Sister?" Senri questioned, sitting next to Takuma while glancing up to stare at Ruka
"H-How did you find out?" Ruka questioned, as she glanced towards Takuma
"You see Ruka, this was what started everything" Takuma began to explain, with a small sigh, "After Aikura-Chan left the dormitories, myself and Rima found her over by the fountain. When we got there she attacked us, but in a defensive manner"
"I followed after them, because I was worried about Aikura; I don't like seeing her upset, however I heard Aikura mention my fathers' name, so I questioned her" Senri spoke up, sighing deeply, "That was when Zero stated that Aikura is the daughter of Shizuka Hio and my father Rido Kuran" Senri stated, clenching his hands into fists
"So you refusing to come out of your room, was because you wanted to ask Kaname himself, and I let Aikura try to calm you down" Ruka stated, feeling sorry as she gave Senri a small apologetic look
"Don't worry about it, I took Aikura away from here because... because HE may try and hurt her" Senri stated before relaxing back into the couch, his dull blue eyes closed, while he breathed lightly, "I won't let anyone hurt her... She maybe my Half-Sister... But" Senri paused what he was saying, as he fluttered his long black lashes open, "She is still someone I care about, and someone I will protect"
"Senri..." Takuma said lightly, before grinning brightly, "So, you won't let the fact you and her have the same father stop you, from loving her?" Takuma asked softly, receiving a small nervous yet embarrassed nod from said maroon haired male just as Kaname entered the dormitories, "Ah, Kaname. Have things been sorted?"
"It has, Zero and Ichiru Kiryu will both take it in shifts to keep Aikura out of harm's way, and when they are unable to, I would like for the rest of you to protect her" Kaname stated simply, before heading towards the stairs after he noticed those present all nodded, "Anyway, off to bed, the sun will be rising soon"
"Of course Kaname" Takuma spoke up softly, before yawning and stretching his arms above his head, "Come on everyone, back to your own rooms"
"Sure... Takuma" Senri murmured lowly, before dragging himself to stand up, with another stretch of his arms above his head as he sauntered tiredly towards the stairs, as he bid everyone a good night.
Once Ruka said her good nights, along with Akatsuki and Hanabusa, Takuma went straight up to Kanames own room, as he sighed deeply, while knocking upon the rose wood door
"Kaname?" Takuma called out softly
"Come in, Takuma" Kaname responded tiredly, as he slouched down upon his old fashioned sleep couch, "What is it Takuma?"
"Is it really wise, to have Zero Kiryu look out for Aikura? I mean it is because of him, that Senri could of been killed, or Aikura being killed" Takuma enquired worriedly, not wanting to deal with his best friends fighting again
"Zero has already been spoken to; he has no choice but to protect her. It was why he was made a Guardian at this school to begin with; to protect both the day class and the Night class" Kaname explained, before yawning, "Now, off to bed"
"Of course, good night Kaname" Takuma whispered lowly, before bowing his head, and leaving Kanames personal bedroom and headed off down the hallway towards his own and Senris room.
Upon reaching their shared room, Takuma noticed Senri was curled up sound asleep; however the maroon haired model had not been sleeping alone within his bed. Raising a curious brow, Takuma crept over to Senris bed, before gasping lowly, as his emerald green eyes landed upon the long white haired Pure Blood Princess curled up within Senris arms. Smiling softly with a shake of his head, Takuma decided to just leave them to sleep, as he got himself ready for bed, before glancing back over towards the half-siblings and chuckled softly as he climbed into his own bed, and fell asleep instantly.
