Icy blue eyes slowly fluttered open, vision hazy as a small groan slipped from parted rose pink lips; as a small tapping caught Aikuras attention, and causing her to glance towards her bedroom door. Sighing deeply while stretching her arms above her head, Aikura slowly climbed out of her bed, with a small yawn being covered by her small hand, while her other hand rubbed at her sleepy eyes. Stepping closer to the bedroom door, Aikura reached out her right hand to grasp at the door handle as she heard the voice of Kaname
"Aikura-Chan, are you awake yet?" Kanames voice sounded, causing Aikura to groan lowly before opening her bedroom door, "Ah, good morning"
"Morning..." Aikura murmured, as she glanced up, only to sigh, "Is something wrong? It still light out" Aikura enquired, as she yawned again while covering her mouth with her left hand
"Nothing is wrong, Rima was wandering if you wanted your hair done by her, for this evening" Kaname explained, causing Aikura to raise a curious brow
"W-What for? Are we going somewhere?" Aikura questioned, while tilting her head to the side
"Aikura-Chan, please don't play the stupid card" Kaname stated in exasperation, while running his left hand through his brown locks, "The Dance is tonight"
"Oh... I said I wouldn't be going" Aikura explained, as she crossed her arms over her chest with a small pout lacing her lips
"No, you said you would think about it" Kaname replied, as he narrowed his eyes towards his young cousin, "However, you never gave your answer, so I am answering it for you, you will be attending. End of discussion" Kaname stated before glancing down the hallway when the sound of footsteps could be heard walking closer, to catch Senri carrying a long black dress bag
"Why do you have to decide if I am or am not going? You are horrible!" Aikura exclaimed, growling lowly watching as Kaname glanced down the hallway, which caused Aikura to lean forward to see what her cousin was looking at, when a light push caused her to stumble backwards, "What was that for!?"
"You shouldn't be so keen to see what the others are doing" Kaname stated, as he turned his attention back to the shorter female, "Yes or no Aikura? Do you want Rima to do your hair?"
"Fine... Yes I would like Rima to do my hair" Aikura hissed, before closing her bedroom door, and storming back towards her bed where she flopped down, with a low groan, "Stupid pureblood"

Staring up at the ceiling, Aikura sighed deeply as she heard her fellow class-men going about getting changed and sorted for the Annual dance, causing Aikura to sigh deeply before pulling herself to sit up and stare at her closed bedroom door; just as a small knocking echoed into her room. Raising a curious brow, Aikura jumped off her bed while stumbling towards her wardrobe as she called out
"Come in!"
"Aikura?" Rimas voice sounded, causing Aikura to sigh deeply, before peeking out from behind one of her now opened wardrobe doors, "Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah... I was just seeing if I had anything decent to wear" Aikura replied, before glancing back at the contents of her wardrobe with a groan
"Don't you have a dress for tonight?" Rima enquired, as she walked over to Aikura and peaked into the young Pure Bloods wardrobe with a chuckle, seeing several different summer dresses, which Aikura grabbed and threw onto her bed
"Not really, maybe one of these will do" Aikura stated lowly, while glancing her icy blue eyes over the six different styled summer dresses, before sighing and turning back to her wardrobe, "Maybe... nope, don't have anything"
"How about this, you go have a shower and get washed, and I will see if I have anything that would fit you, okay?" Rima asked softly, glancing her own bright blue eyes towards Aikura who sighed and nodded
"Okay Rima-Chan" Aikura whispered, before sauntering past her best friend, and headed straight into her bathroom where she closed the door; leaving Rima standing by her bed with a devious smirk tugging at her lips.
Once Rima was certain that Aikura was actually in the shower, she quickly grabbed for Aikuras laid out dresses and put them back into the wardrobe, when a small knocking caught her attention. Smiling brightly, Rima quickly walked towards the door, to see Akatsuki smiling down at her
"What is it, Akatsuki?" Rima asked, tilting her head to the side
"I am dropping these off" Akatsuki stated, handing Rima a black bag with a chuckle, "Oh, Aikura-Chan should have a brand new pair of lilac heels in her wardrobe, which will match the dress Senri brought her"
"Okay, this saves me some time" Rima stated glancing into the bag and chuckled, "Roses?"
"Rose Hair clips, once you see the dress you will understand" Akatsuki stated, with a shrug before turning on his heel, "Just make sure; she doesn't see the dress till after you have done her hair"
"Sure thing, we will probably be about a couple of hours anyway" Rima replied as she caught Kaname walking towards her, "Dorm President Kuran"
"Where is Aikura-Chan?" Kaname questioned, as Akatsuki headed off back to his own room
"In the bathroom, did you need her?" Rima enquired with a worried smile touching her lips
"No, I was just dropping this off to you, for her to wear. Please make sure she wears everything that was brought for her, I have to go deliver Yukis dress" Kaname explained, as he turned on his heel and walked off back down the hallway, after Rima had taken the long pale blue necklace styled box.
Chuckling lightly, Rima rolled her eyes as she closed the bedroom door before raising a curious brow
"Wait, everyone brought her what was needed?" Rima questioned herself, while walking towards Aikuras wardrobe, noticing a shoe box at the bottom, raising a curious brow she kneeled down and opened the box, to see a pair of Lilac ribbon tie styled strappy shoes, "Ah, I see, these are her shoes. Now I have to wait for the dress"
"Hey Rima!" Aikuras voice sounded from the bathroom, causing Rima to be startled as she glanced over her shoulder
"Yeah Aikura?" Rima replied, as she grabbed the show box, and placed it upon Aikuras bed, next to the pale blue necklace box and black bag containing the rose clips
"Could you possibly grab me something to eat? And a drink please?" Aikura called out, causing Rima to chuckle
"Yeah I will ask Takuma to go get it for you" Rima stated, as she shook her head, before walking to the bedroom door, just as it was knocked; opening the door slowly, Rima glanced out to see Takuma holding up a long black dress bag with a bright smile, making him seem to almost sparkle
"This is from Senri, it for the Princess" Takuma explained, handing Rima the long dress bag
"Brilliant, thank you Takuma, though could you do me a little favour?" Rima enquired, as she carefully hung the bag up on the back of Aikuras bedroom door
"Sure, what do you need?"
"Aikura would like something to eat and drink, and the Dorm president doesn't want me leaving Aikuras bedroom until she is ready" Rima explained lowly, while glancing up into Takumas emerald green eyes
"Sure, I will be back in a bit" Takuma replied cheerfully, before turning on his heel and sauntering along the hallway, just as Rima closed the door.
Once the door was closed, Rima glanced up at the black dress bag, as she carefully unzipped the front, opening it enough for her to glance over the Lilac coloured princess styled dress. A faint pink tinged across Rimas cheeks, noticing how the dress looked as if it was made of silk, as she remembered Senris mother once wearing a dress similar to the one she now gazed at, however, it had been more of a faded pale pink colour.
Sighing softly, Rima zipped the bag back up, before turning around to saunter back over to Aikuras bed, where she carefully unboxed the young Purebloods shoes, before grabbing for the small black bag Akatsuki gave her, and walked over to the vanity table as the bathroom door slowly opened. Glancing towards the small creak in the bathroom door, Rima chuckled softly
"Your food should be up here soon" Rima said softly, causing Aikura to peek her head out from behind the door
"Yeah? Cool" Aikura said softly, before slowly stepped out of the bathroom, her long hair pulled up and hidden beneath one of her hair wrap towels, while her slim form was hidden behind a soft touching silk dressing gown
"Yeah, I asked Takuma to grab something for you" Rima explained softly, as she patted the seat at Aikuras vanity table, "Come on, I will make a start on your hair"
"Yeah... Thank you Rima-Chan" Aikura whispered softly, glancing up as she caught sight of the black dress bag hanging upon the back of her bedroom door, "Is that the dress you picked?"
"You could say that, come on sit down, we only have two hours to get ready" Rima explained softly
"Okay, I am coming" Aikura replied, as she walked over to Rima who was standing beside her Vanity table, as she sat down and allowed Rima to do what she did best.

Exactly two and half hours later, Rima sighed deeply as she gazed over Aikuras slim form with a bright smile. Aikura looked her part, a Pureblood Princess, one that would catch almost all attention. Aikuras long flowing platinum hair was lightly curled, and tied back fixed with six large Rose clips in shades of Lilac and Lavender, while several tendrils of her bangs were also curled and framed her face with four smaller rose clips. Aikuras pale pink lips were now a soft lavender colour, as while upon her closed eye lids was a soft lilac/lavender mix.
Smiling at her handy work, Rima took a hold of Aikuras hand and walked her towards her bedroom door
"Now listen, you are not allowed to open your eyes, until Kaname says your name" Rima explained, while carefully guiding Aikura out of her bedroom
"I don't see why I am not allowed to look, it is just a dress" Aikura stated with a pout, but allowed Rima to escort her towards the top of the stairs.
However, waiting for Rima and Aikura was Takuma, Hanabusa, Akatsuki, Senri, Ruka, Seiren and Kaname himself, while Ichiru was standing beside the moon dorms. Every head turned simultaneously as Rima walked down the stairs with Aikura, who had been adorned in the long lilac coloured dress Senri had brought for her, the chocker collar Akatsuki had brought on behalf of Kaname, along with lavender coloured silken gloves that reached just past her elbow, that Hanabusa himself had brought for the young Pureblood to entice her to go to the Annual dance.
Reaching the bottom step, Rima slowly released Aikuras hand, before smiling brightly just as Kaname stepped closer to Aikura, noticing she still had her eyes closed. Smiling, Kaname dropped down elegantly to one knee and spoke softly
"This is how you should grace us every day, Princess Aikura" Kaname stated, as he noticed Aikuras eyes slowly flutter open, just in time to catch her pureblood cousin kiss her hand softly, "You look beautiful"
"I... I do?" Aikura questioned, before glancing down to stare at the dress she was wearing, to notice it was the same knee to ankle length slit, comfortable yet form hugging, lilac floor touching dress she had tried on when herself and Akatsuki had gone shopping, "I... Akatsuki?"
"Nope, I just took it from the one who brought it for you" Akatsuki stated, nudging Senri, who was staring wide eyed towards Aikura, "And he has gone"
"S-Senri?" Aikura whispered, stepping slowly forward, as Kaname released her hand, and allowing her to walk towards her half brother, as she leaned up and kissed Senris cheek, "Thank you"
"Y-Your welcome... Aikura-Chan" Senri spoke lowly, after blinking several times to gaze down at his sister, and the one female he truly wanted to spend his life with, "Shall we?"
"I don't know..." Aikura murmured, when she felt a reassuring hand upon her bare shoulder
"Come on, we are the only ones who are not yet at the dance" Kaname stated softly, before walking forward, with Ichiru, as the all left the moon dormitories.

Arriving at the Cross Academy Auditorium, the last Night class Students were greeted by Yuki, Zero and the head master, who all smiled before indicating for the students to enter. However, as soon as they did, they were practically hounded by the day class girls, causing Ruka, Rima and Aikura to sigh deeply. Rima then walked off with Ruka, while Aikura slowly walked over towards the far back wall, when a young day class male student approached her nervously, while a bright pink dusted his cheeks
"Er... W-Would... you l-like to d-dance... with me?" The young brown haired male asked, holding out his right hand to Aikura, who blinked at the unknown male
"I... I'm sorry, but... I c-can't dance" Aikura whispered sadly, giving the young day class male an apologetic smile
"Oh... P-please... no need to a-apologise, it w-was... entirely my fault" The young male replied, gazing into Aikuras icy blue eyes, "Y-you do look ever so beautiful. I h-hope you know t-that" The male stated, before bowing towards the young Pureblood before walking back through the crowds of people.
Aikura however, only sighed deeply as her icy blue eyes gazed over the throngs of students dancing, Night class males with day class females, some even dancing with their own kind, while several of the female night class students danced with several day class male students. Giving another deep sigh, Aikura turned her gaze towards the entrance of the Auditorium, seeing Zero standing with Yuki, which caused Aikura to growl lowly under her breath
"You shouldn't be growling, Princess" Akatsukis voice sounded, causing Aikura to gasp and jump, as she turned her icy blue eyes up into orange brown eyes
"A-Akatsuki... you scared me" Aikura whimpered lowly, before turning her gaze down to the floor, "I thought you would have been dancing with one of your human fans"
"Nah, I am not too bothered with them" Akatsuki stated with a shrug, as he leaned against the wall beside the young Pureblood, "What about you? You already had one of the day class boys ask you to dance, why didn't you accept his offer?" Akatsuki enquired, as he glanced his eyes down at the Pureblood princess
"I... D-don't know... how to... dance" Aikura whispered lowly, as she began fidgeting beside Akatsuki
"Really? I didn't know" Akatsuki said softly, as he pushed himself off of the wall, only to stand before Aikura, as he bowed to her with his right hand held out to her, "Would you permit me, to teach you, your highness?"
"I... o-okay" Aikura whispered lowly, slipping her left hand into Akatsukis, as he carefully guided the young female towards where the others were dancing, as he carefully turned Aikura to face him,
"Just follow my lead, okay?" Akatsuki said lowly, as he pulled Aikura closer, while placing his left hand at the small of the purebloods back
"O-Okay" Aikura replied lightly, a faint blush dusting upon her cheeks.
XxxxX
Around an hour later, Aikura was dancing around the hall with Takuma, a bright blush upon her cheeks; while several of the day class girls who all swooned over Takuma raged to each other about Aikura being way to close to any of the Night class males. Hearing their words, Aikura sighed just as the song she and Takuma were dancing to slowly came to an end. Which, as soon as it did, Takuma slowly released Aikura before bowing respectfully to her with a bright smile
"You dance how you look, Princess" Takuma stated softly, while guiding Aikura back of to the side, with a small chuckle
"H-How is that? Clumsy?" Aikura replied, with a gentle chuckle as she was handed a drink by Rima who smiled at her
"Of course not Aikura-Chan, I meant, that you dance elegantly, just like a princess" Takuma explained softly, before chuckling
"Ohh... Well then... I think I will go get some fresh air, I feel ever so stuffy" Aikura stated softly, earning a small nod from Takuma, as Aikura slowly walked off towards the balcony doors, that lead out to the balcony.
Once she was certain that she was alone, Aikura sighed deeply as she walked towards the stone balcony, and rested her arms upon the railing while her chest rested against her arms. Her icy blue eyes gazing up into the skies, as another sigh slipped from her lips; she had noticed she had been doing that just a little too much lately, when something suddenly caught her attention from deep within the forestry of the Academy grounds. Raising a curious brow, Aikura glanced her icy blue eyes towards where she saw something move, however, there was nothing there that looked any different than any other day; that was until she felt a dark ominous presence beside her, and causing her to spin on her heel only to gasp loudly when a hand shot out and covered her mouth
"Now, now my Princess. I can't have you screaming now can I?" A dark voice spoke, causing Aikura to attempt to push back against the male before her, "Struggle all you want, Aikura Kuran-Hio. Pureblood Princess of both Kuran and Hio families" The voice stated, causing Aikuras eyes to widen
"Mmph!" Aikura attempted to scream, however it was severely muffled by the others hand, when the male before her leaned down, revealing mixed coloured eyes, one of icy blue, while the other was a reddish brown colour; while maroon coloured shoulder length hair fell into those eyes
"Finally we meet, Daughter" Was the only thing the male stated, before Aikura suddenly collapsed within the other males arms, "Good girl" The maroon haired, mixed colour eyed male stated before vanishing with Aikura within his arms, causing for two of her rose clips to fall to the floor.

As the evening slowly came to an end, Kaname and Senri, along with Rima and Takuma were looking over the Academy grounds for Aikura. None of them had seen her for almost two hours, causing Senri and Kaname to panic for the young purebloods safety
"We have to find her, Ichijo go and inform the headmaster that the Princess is missing, and that I want Zero and Ichiru to aid in looking for her now" Kaname stated as calmly as he possibly could, causing Takuma to nod, before running off to find the headmaster
"Where could she have gone?" Senri questioned, his dull blue eyes glimmered with worry, as he looked for his half sister with Kaname
"I don't know, but something doesn't feel right" Kaname explained when the two cousins heard feet rushing towards them, only for them to turn around to see Akatsuki and Ruka running towards them, "Have you found her?"
"No Lord Kaname, but..." Ruka began, as Akatsuki held his hand out, holding two of the rose clips from Aikuras hair
"They were on the balcony of the Auditorium, a few of the day class students, recall seeing Aikura out on the balcony. But they haven't seen her since" Akatsuki explained, as Senri snatched the rose clips from Akatsukis hand and held them tightly
"Okay, thank you Akatsuki. Senri we should check the balcony, where Aikura was last seen" Kaname explained, as he glanced towards Senri to see that said aristocratic vampire was no longer standing beside him but running back towards the Auditorium
"Lord Kaname, If Aikura is a Pureblood, then no one could have gotten near her" Ruka began explaining before she sighed, "She seemed to have a form of barrier surrounding her during the night; surely any vampire wouldn't have gotten close to her"
"No, but a human, a hunter, or another Pureblo-" Kaname stopped suddenly, before something occurred to him, "Rido"
"Lord Kaname?" Ruka questioned lowly, as Kaname suddenly ran past her, "Who is Rido? Haven't we heard that name before?"
"Rido Kuran, Senris and Aikuras father." Akatsuki explained, "Meaning, the only one who could know where she is, is Rido Kuran"
"Then that means, he has been here" Ruka exclaimed, before running off in the same direction as Kaname
"This will be one hard fight" Akatsuki mused, before following after Kaname and Ruka.

Elsewhere, Icy blue eyes slowly fluttered opened, with a low pained groan slipping from lavender painted lips. Slowly lifting her head, Aikura glanced around to find that all she could see was what looked like a brick walled basement without any form of window anywhere within her sight, her arms held above her head, as she glanced up to see that both her wrists were held together with a vampire hunter device, which caused Aikura to whimper when the sound of footsteps echoed around her
"Have you woken up yet, Princess?" The dark voice Aikura remembered hearing before she saw the face of her father
"R-Rido... K-Kuran..." Aikura whispered lowly, as she stared towards what looked like a shadow against the wall opposite her, "W-What do you want with me!?" Aikura suddenly screamed, however, the only answer she got was a dark sadistic sounding laugh
"That should be obvious, Daughter of mine" Rido stated as he stepped closer to Aikura, revealing himself completely, and causing Aikura to gasp loudly, "I want you"
"W-Why?" Aikura asked, as she attempted to take a step back, only then to realize that she was at least a foot or so off of the floor below her
"I want your blood, you have Shizukas blood, and the Kuran blood running through your veins, and I want it" Rido stated simply, as his mixed coloured eyes flashed red, causing Aikura to stare wide eyed in panic towards the man that she now knew as her father
"Y-You can't... I won't let you!" Aikura shouted, only to hear Rido laugh once more
"How will you stop me?" Rido questioned, as he stepped closer to Aikura, until he was practically nose to nose with her, "You can't move, and all the time your wrists are bound, you are unable to fight back" Rido Explained simply, causing Aikura to gasp out
"You monster!" Aikura shouted, before gasping loudly when she felt fingers trail over one bare thigh, causing her to glance down to see she was still wearing the Lilac dress Senri had brought for her to wear that night; only to see that the knee to ankle slit had been made bigger, as it now stopped just beneath her hip, "Don't touch me!"
"Oh, and what will do, Aikura? Kill me?" Rido asked, with a sadistic smirk touching his lips, as he once again trailed his fingers up Aikuras thigh, "You look so much like Shizuka, yet you have the temperament of a Kuran" Rido explained, before allowing one hand to trail up and over Aikuras small form
"GET OF ME!" Aikura shouted, attempting to move away from Ridos sick touches; however only allowing said male to touch her more
"So feisty, I will have to change that about you, my dearest Daughter" Rido explained, as he gripped Aikuras chin to force her to stare directly into his eyes, "Now be quiet, and be a good, obedient little girl" Rido purred out, before putting the young pureblood to sleep.

While back at the Academy, Kaname had his most trusted followers standing before himself and Senri, as the Pureblood Vampire explained that he had an idea of who had Aikura; however, he didn't know where she was, causing the others to stare at each other, before Kaname sighed deeply
"There is a possibility, that she is at the Senates underground dungeon, Where Rido was once kept captured. Getting inside will be easy enough, but finding the Princess will be the hard part, I cannot risk us all going there, Senri has Volunteered to go, but I would also like you, Ichijo to accompany him" Kaname explained causing Takuma to nod, before Rima stepped forward
"You can't let Senri do this, what if something happens to Senri and Takuma?" Rima questioned, before sighing, "What if their presence will have Rido react and kill Aikura?"
"That monster... He wants me and Aikura together, he wouldn't kill her until I was there" Senri stated lowly, before running his hands through his hair, "The letter Aikura received, stated she would have to make the choice... Kill our father, kill me, or herself. He needs her, as a bargaining chip against me" Senri stated lowly
"Senri and Takuma will not be going alone, as Rido is a Pureblood, neither will get near him, or our Princess. So Zero and Ichiru have stated they will go with them, because they can hurt Rido" Kaname explained before sighing, "I to will also be going with them, I would like the rest of you to keep Yuki from leaving this academy, and to be on your guard in case for any reason; Rido release Aikura before we reach her"
"Okay, Just be careful Senri, your mother will only worry about you" Rima explained, before turning on her heel, "We will keep Yuki safe, as well as keeping an eye open for Aikura, if she returns"
"Thank you, Senri, Ichijo, we should leave now" Kaname stated lowly, before walking away from the remaining vampires, as they headed towards Zero and Ichiru who were waiting at the academies gates.

Icy blue eyes suddenly snapped open, as a loud painful cry ripped from Aikuras throat. Standing literally dead in front of her, with blood dripping down his chin, was Rido Kuran with a dark sinister smirk; which caused Aikura to shudder
"Your blood is definitely worth you fighting to prevent me from drinking it, Aikura" Rido purred against Aikuras cheek, as the pureblood princess shuddered once more, tears forming at the corners of her eyes, "Wont you cry out for him, for Senri?" Rido questioned, causing Aikura to stare at her father wide eyed
"You are... sick!" Aikura hissed between clenched teeth, before smirking darkly, "Except you forgot whose daughter I am!" Aikura shouted, as several blood like ropes raised from the ground, before flying towards Rido as several wrapped around him, "I got this power from YOU!"
"So you did, it seems you both inherited this ability" Rido mused, before smirking, allowing his own blood to be manipulated to form his own blood like rope whips, as each of the six visible like whips lashed out against Aikura
"AHH!" Aikura cried out, as three of the blood whips, whipped at her front, slashing open her dress, and causing for it to drop to the floor like cherry blossom petals falling out of season, "You'll regret that!"
"Will I?" Rido enquired with a dark laugh, easily breaking free from Aikuras own blood rope like whips, as he moved to behind Aikura and trailing his hands over Aikuras stomach, "You flesh it is so perfect, all for that vampire hunter bullet wound within your left thigh, and yet you are untouched by anyone"
"Get away from me!" Aikura shouted, as she attempted to free herself, for the millionth time, only to cry out in pain as the vampire hunter device that cuffed her wrists burned into her flesh, "Take these off of me!"
"If you behave yourself, I may just release you, but you are not nearly as obedient as I want you to be quite yet, my dearest Daughter" Rido stated darkly, as he wrapped his fingers around Aikuras throat, and forcing her head to the side, allowing the sadistic pureblood male to once again sink his fangs deep into Aikuras neck
"Ahhh!" Aikura cried out, tears falling down her cheeks, as images of her friends flashed before her eyes, however, when Senris face appeared before her, she almost called out for him, but she bit back her tongue; knowing that was what her father wanted her to do, to cry out for Senri to help her, "S-Stop it... Please..."
"Oh, have you dropped down to begging me, how pathetic" Rido hissed, as he used his free hand, to drag his nails down over Aikuras stomach, "I am not quite finished with you, I think I will keep you alive, just so I can have some fun with you"
"Please... just let me go already... you sick fucking bastard!" Aikura cried out, when a loud crashing sound caught her attention
"Hmph, it seems we have guest, such a shame they won't find you down here" Rido hissed, before licking up the length of Aikuras neck, cleaning the bite wound he had just caused, "Now be quiet, if I hear a single sound escape that mouth of yours, I will be forced to shut it"
"You think I am scared of you?" Aikura spat, though deep down, she was petrified. She feared this man, the man who was her father, someone she had never wanted to meet, and yet now she was captured by him
"I mean it, Aikura" Rido hissed, as he walked around to stand in front of Aikura once again, as he gripped the young pureblood princess's chin and smirked, "I guess I will have to shut that mouth of yours"
"Try it you sic-mmmph!" Aikuras hissed words vanished as Rido pulled her face closer to his own, and closed his own lips over Aikuras; forcing Aikura to begin to squirm against her restraints, tears falling once again down her cheeks, as she felt her fathers, Ridos tongue slip into her mouth, licking over her fangs before retracting, as her fear laced eyes began to slowly close, just as Rido broke away and smirked
"I prefer you sleeping, you are so quiet" Rido purred lowly, before turning and leaving the room in which he kept his daughter strung up, and unable to fight.
Once out of the basement room, in which Aikura was strung up, Rido smirked as he began walking up the long winding stone stairway, just as the sound of several panicked voices screamed out in pain. This caused Rido to have to stifle a small chuckle as he made his way up the last several steps, before pushing open the only entrance to see the Kiryu twins, alongside Kaname, Senri and Takuma
"Where is Aikura!?" Senri shouted, his fists clenched as he glared his dull blue eyes towards his father
"Ah, Senri my adorable son" Rido began as he stepped closer to the four vampires and lone human, "You think I would give you that information? She is mine now"
"What have you done to her, Rido?" Kaname asked, stepping between Rido and Senri
"What does it matter to you, dear nephew?" Rido enquired, a dirty smirk tugging at his lips, as Zero cocked his bloody rose gun, while Ichiru unsheathed his twin blades, "Oh, bringing hunters, thinking they can get rid of me for you?"
"They will, if you have harmed the Princess of our clan!" Kaname hissed, "Now where is she!?"
"Heh, my Daughter, is sleeping. Losing that much blood caused her to pass out" Rido stated, glancing his eyes towards his sons fear laced wide eyes
"What did you do her!?" Senri shouted, anger beginning to build within his veins
"That is none of your business, All you need to know is that her blood and body belong to me, and you will never have her" Rido hissed out, before laughing darkly, just as Zero fired of a round from his gun into Ridos shoulder, "Heh, that actually hurt a bit, but that will not stop me, not now that I have a stronger and purer blood running through my veins"
"You monster!" Senri and Takuma shouted together, causing Rido to howl with laughter
"Aikura shouted those same words at me, when I sank my fangs into her pale neck, over and over again" Rido explained before once again laughing, as he vanished from sight and reappeared behind them all, "If you want her, you will have to find her" Rido stated, before smirking as he vanished from sight again.
"That bastard!" Senri shouted, clenching his fists, and running past Kaname
"Senri wait!" Kaname called after Senri, causing the young aristocratic vampire to stop in his tracks, "It could be a trap, and she may not even be down there"
"I can smell her..." Senri murmured, "I know the smell of my sisters blood, from when that hunter shot her in the thigh, the arousing smell of her blood really got to me... I wanted to drink it all, so no one else could taste her sweet, yet arousing smelling blood" Senri stated lowly, "This is her blood, she is down there, and I am going to get her back!" Senri shouted, before running down the stairs, as Kaname along with Takuma and the Kiryu twins followed after him.
XxxxX
Reaching the lone door at the bottom of the stairs, all five bodies stopped dead in their tracks, as Zero stated lowly that there was more than one person on the other side of the door, which caused Kaname to agree with the Level D Vampire
"However, only one of them is asleep" Kaname stated in a low whisper, causing Senri to growl lowly, "Senri, you cannot just barge in, and you know that"
"He has my sister" Senri hissed lowly, as a loud scream echoed all around them,
"Scream as loud as you want, no one can save you now, Princess" Ridos voice spoke up, before he was heard laughing sadistically,
"Let me go! I'll kill! You sick bastard!" Aikuras voice sounded, causing the five bodies outside of the door, to glance at each other, before Zero and Ichiru walked forward, and kicked the large wooden doors in.
This allowed Takuma, Senri and Kaname to follow them in, however, as soon as they entered the room, all five sets of eyes stare wide eyed at the sight before them all. Aikura with wrist bound above her head, while dangling at least a foot in the air, her Princess styled Lilac dress shredded with its pieces scattering the floor below her feet, while her pale flesh was littered with several whip like scars; while two different bite marks adorned her pale neck, one on each side. Her icy blue eyes, turning a frenzied red, her fangs bared.
All that the young Pureblood Princess now wore was literally her shoes, plus her bra and panties, which the boys noticed were also in a lilac colour, as Kaname growled darkly before glancing towards Zero
"Shot the bastard, get him away from her!" Kaname hissed out, causing Zero to nod
"Only because she is a Student at Cross Academy!" Zero hissed, aiming bloody rose towards Rido, who at that moment had his hands rested upon Aikuras slim waist, "You deserve so much worse than this gun can cause you!" Zero shouted, firing off four consecutive bullets directly at Rido, however, only one managed to graze his shoulder, while the other three were forced to ricochet back towards Kaname, Senri and Takuma, which Caused Aikura to cry out
"NO!" Aikura screamed, as she tried to break her wrists free, even though they now burned, just as a bright blue light surrounded the entire room
"Step away from that Student!" A young females voice sounded, causing the boys to stare into the light, only to see three Vampire Hunter bullets upon the floor, "As Guardian at Cross Academy, we are to protect not just the Day class students, but the night class as well!"
"Yuki, what are you doing here?" Kaname asked, as the bright light faded, only to reveal Yuki standing in front of all three vampires, with her Artemis rod, that now looked like a death Scythe
"When Aidou tried to keep me at the academy, Ruka slipped up that you five had come here to get Aikura" Yuki explained, not once glancing back, "Aikura is a loved Student at Cross Academy, every student including the Day class girls and boys are hunting the Academy for her"
"AHh!" Aikura screamed suddenly, as Senri ran towards her, only to be forced into a standstill, when Rido raised his hand, to seal his Aristocratic vampire powers
"Let her go!" Senri hissed, staring directly at his half sister,
"And why would I do that, Senri? Unlike you, Aikura is a Pureblood" Rido began to explain, while trailing his hands down over Aikuras stomach, "Meaning her blood is more addictive, and more wanted than any other Vampire"
"Rido" Kaname spoke up, walking towards Senri, before speaking once again, "That maybe true, Aikura has the Purest of Pureblood blood, except you forgot one little detail"
"And what would that be, Kaname?" Rido asked, as he placed his lips against Aikuras throat, while baring his fangs once again
"Aikura is unable to be retained by Vampire Hunter devices" Kaname stated, causing Senri to glance up at his sisters wrists, just as Zero fired off a bullet directly through the center of her wrists, and destroying the bounding cuffs
"What!?" Rido hissed, as Aikura dropped to the floor, "You think freeing her will stop me, from draining her dry?"
"No, but freeing me, allows me to release Senri!" Aikura hissed, as she sent an invisible shock wave directly towards Senri shattering the black bindings that prevented him from using his powers, "All the time you attack them, I attack you!"
"Aikura!" Senri shouted, rushing to her side, as he pulled off his school jacket and draped it around her half naked body, "You need to get out of here"
"Not until he is dead" Aikura stated lowly, as she pushed Senri back, just as Rido used his manipulated blood to whip towards them, "Pathetic move, Father!" Aikura shouted, as she dragged her weakened form to stand up
"Oh really? Who said I was aiming for you or Senri?" Rido questioned before laughing, as Aikura glanced over her shoulder to see if everyone was safe, as she screamed out, when Rido grabbed her and sank his fangs back into her neck
"Leave her alone!" Senri shouted, clenching his fists
"Why you... Leave Aikura alone this instant! You bastard!" Zero hissed, aiming his gun for Ridos head, as Ichiru and Yuki stood either side of him
"As guardians of Cross Academy, we will not let you harm any of the students!" All three shouted, as Ichiru and Yuki ran forward, while Zero fired off several bullets, as Aikura was ripped from Ridos grasp
"Ahh!" Aikura screamed, before falling limp as strong arms wrapped around her small form
"Senri, you and Takuma take Aikura away from here!" Kaname hissed, as he picked Aikura up, before handing her carefully to Takuma; who took her carefully before turning to leave
"Takuma wait, I need to say something first" Senri stated lowly, as he walked towards his best friend, before glancing towards his father, "Don't think you will ever get your hands upon Aikura again! I claimed her before YOU!" Senri shouted, causing Rido to take more notice of his son, just as Zero shot a bullet through his chest, and Yuki along with Ichiru sent their weapons directly through the Purebloods stomach and shoulder
"She will never be yours, Senri. She will belong to me in the end" Rido hissed, before a choked gasp slipped from his throat, when his body had shattered into a thousand pieces
"That should hold him, for at least another 10 years" Kaname stated, "However, we should get out of here"
"Of course Kaname" Takuma stated, as himself and Senri ran out of the room, Takuma being careful to keep a tight hold upon the Pureblood Princess, while Kaname followed behind them with the two vampire hunters and Yuki, taking out any Vampire attempting to get in their way
"Out of our way!" Senri shouted, as he bit into his hand, before manipulating his blood to become like whips, as he lashed them out, killing off several of the Senates henchmen giving Takuma a chance to leave the building before Senri followed behind them with Kaname, along with the three Cross Academy Guardians.
