These two chapter updates came fast. Both chapters were already written and saved on my laptop. So here is chapter two!
VK is copy righted to Matsuri Hino.
PS: Do not flame. This is for my entertainment purposes only. If the characters seem OC, it's entirely my fault for trying to create a unique story. There is nothing wrong with trying to make Yuuki more motherly and mature.
Thank you and good bye.
She had been staying in France, up until now. It was her time to return back home, to Japan.
Yes, the trip from Europe to all the way back home to Japan was exhausting. She was exhausted. On the day of her arrival, Isaya had insisted on her staying with him, but she had declined the offer. Instead she chose to stay with her adoptive father. Kaoru, for one was excited he was going to see the ever so famous headmaster and Hunter association president. The boy was bright, intelligent, and alot of things piqued his curiosity. He hated to study, but he was always mischievous, always pulling pranks on his tutors. In turn, he always got a scolding from his mother.
The car had arrived at sunset, at Cross Academy. Yuuki put a hand to her son's shoulders. A soft sigh escaped her lips. "5.."She began to count. Kaoru looked up at his mother in confusion. Though Yuuki was counting because she knew something was going to happen. "4,3,2,1-"
"Yuuuuuuuuuuukiiiiiiiiiiiiiii i!" Kaoru looked up to see a man running towards his mother. Yuuki sighed, stepping to the side, letting the man fall down on the ground before hugging her. "Yuki! You're so mean, after all these years and I don't get a hug?"
"Chairman.."
"Yuuki! I'm your papa!" Kaoru looked at this man with interest. "Mama, is he always this weird?" Yuuki laughed softly. "Ah, don't worry about him, dear." Kaien straightened himself up and beamed at Kaoru. "Dear Kaoru-kun, I'm your grandpa!" Kaoru's eye twitched slightly. "You're an-" Yuuki pinched his shoulder slightly. Making Kaoru almost yell out in pain, but when he turned to look at his mother, she gave him a look of warning. He decided to play it safe. He rubbed his shoulder and bowed politely. "Nice to meet you grandfather." He quickly looked up at Yuuki with a pout on his face. She just smiled sweetly.
"Come inside Yuuki, Kaoru, we have to catch up on a lot of things." Yuuki smiled again, gesturing for the driver to take her things inside. Kaoru looked in awe as he walked further into campus grounds.
There he led them into his home. The house she used to live in was no longer small, as a matter of fact, it was a large home. No, it was a mansion. Kaien Cross had maids and a butler greeting them at the doorstep. Yuuki watched as the maids took off to resume their work.
Kaname had arrived to the Shirabuki residence. He knew Sara would be waiting for him. He had an expressionless look on his face. As the door opened before him and he was greeted by Sara herself. She was indeed beautiful. Long golden locks of hair, and a victorian era styled dress; Made Sara look so much more like a porcelin doll. Sara smiled at Kaname. Her smile didn't convince him to much. Kaname knew it was a fake smile. He in turn, gave her that same fake smile in return. "Ah, Kaname dear, I was expecting you. Did you come to feed?" She asked smiliing once more. Kaname shook his head. "Does that always have to be my reason for allowing myself to come here?' Amusement flickered in Sara's eyes. "No, but you do look thirsty." She said as she gestured for him to come inside.
As soon as Sara lead him inside to a more discrete place, Kaname embraced her from behind. Inhaling her sweet scent. He placed his lips near her neck. Breathing in her scent, once more. Kaname was thirsty. He opened his mouth, revealing his fangs. He brushed them softly against Sara's neck. Making her shiver slightly.
"If you're thirsty, please do drink up dear." Sara said softly. Kaname didn't need her permission, he went and sunk his fangs into her neck. Making Sara slightly whimper, though at the same time feeling pleasure from the bite. The warm crimson liquid went down his throat, it made him feel more at ease. He had been craving blood since he had come back from his meeting. Kaname wanted to keep on drinking her blood. But no matter how much he drank from Sara, it was not enough. Her blood was not enough to satiate his thirst. There was something missing in his life. Sara was not it. He licked the bite marks off of Sara's neck, then with his hand brushed away the blood left on his lips. He licked it off his hand. Of course, it wasn't polite for him to do so. But it made Sara want him even more.
"Kaname, it's not fair. I want some of your blood too." She smiled half heartedly. Kaname looked to her. "Unlike you, I come back exhausted from my duties. But don't worry, soon I will share with you some of my blood. " Sara smiled again. "Well, fine. I'm not impatient, so I'll wait."
She turned to look at Kaname again. "Kaname, you didn't come here just for that, did you?" Kaname gave her a knowing smile. "Perspective, as always, Sara. " He then added. "No, I only came to inform you that all of the pureblood families will attend the party." Sara raised an eyebrow at him. "Oh? All seven families?" Kaname nodded his head. "Eight, now."
"Eight? Oh, you must mean Yuuki Cross. Yes, I heard from Isaya-sama and Ouri-sama." Sara shifted her glance to the window. "I know, Kaname. I will behave myself. It saddens me to know that you don't trust me, even though we will be husband and wife soon." She said with amusement to her voice. Though Kaname didn't smile at this. "And as my wife, and a future Kuran you need to watch your tongue, and your actions, Sara." Kaname added in a warning tone. Sara didn't show it, but she was getting irritated. "Alright, I get it. You may leave now." Kaname nodded his head. "I'll see you tonight then."
"Ah, Yuuki, you've grown more beautiful." Yuuki laughed softly. "You remind me more of your mother." Kaien smiled gently at her. Yuuki smiled back. Kaoru watched as the two adults before him made conversation. He sighed boredly slumping slightly in his chair.
"Yuuki, are you going to the party tonight? You were invited after all." Yuuki looked away. "I don't know." She said softly. Kaoru perked up. "Party? Mom, can we go?" Yuuki turned to her son and caressed his cheeks, looking at him lovingly. "Not this time. " The boy looked away and pouted his cheeks. "Will the Chairman be going too?" Kaien smiled. "Of course." Kaoru sighed in frustration. "So, I'll be here all by myself. I get bored easily, you know."
"Nonsense, I've arranged for you to stay at the Aidou household." Kaoru looked up again. "Aidou household?" Yuuki nodded. "There will be other children there. You won't be bored." Kaoru didn't want to, but he had no choice in the matter. He sighed. "Fine."
"Ehh? So Yuuki, you made up your mind?" Yuuki silently nodded. "I'm afraid I can't turn down Isaya's offer. After all, he did go through all that trouble to buy me a gown in France. So I can't just refuse." Kaien laughed softly.
Kaoru puffed his cheeks lightly. "Mama, may I please go explore a little?" Yuuki turned to look at her son, wanting to give him no for an answer; But she gave in. She sighed. "Alright, but don't wander off to far, and I'm giving you thirty minutes to go around. After your time is up, you head straight back here. " She slightly narrowed her eyes. "And don't go giving me excuses that you've lost your way again. Do that and brace yourself for the consequences, understood?" Kaoru nodded his head. He puffed his cheeks again. "Ugh..Whatever" He mumbled. Yuuki arched an eyebrow at him. "What was that dear?" She smiled sweetly at him. But Kaoru knew that there was more to his mother's smile than just sweetness. He stood up straight. "Oui madame!" He blushed at his sudden outburst with his french. "I mean, yes mother." He said as he quickly ran out of the room.
Kaien saw the scene before him. Yuuki, and Kaoru. He never expected Yuuki to be such a frightning mother. He chuckled softly as Kaoru ran out of the room. "Yuuki, I was never that mean to you, how did you learn to be such a mean mommy?"
"He may look sweet and innocent, but he's always getting into trouble..that boy." She smiled faintly. Kaien laughed softly. "Ah, Yuuki your mother used to be that way." Yuuki turned to smile softly. "Ah, before I forget, you do know that the party is intended for Sara and Kaname?" Yuuki slightly frowned. Looking away from her adoptive father. "I am aware." She slowly whispered. "I am aware of their engagement." She added, a sad look crossing her features. Kaien couldn't bare to look at her in such a state. "But that's not the real purpose, Yuuki. It's meant to try and promote peace between Vampires and Humans. " Yuuki perked up her head. "Really? Then that's great." She smiled brightly as if nothing was wrong with her.
"But speaking of which, I was wondering, why don't you reinstate the night class?" Kaien shook his head. "Kaname wouldn't be to fond of that." Yuuki pouted slightly. "That man..." But an idea struck her. "Well, how about an elementary school? I would love for my son to attend here. Of course, separate classes for the vampire children and human, but nonetheless, when it comes to children, they don't care who's who. They all interact with each other, regardless of what family they come from. At that age, they begin to explore the world, and gain more knowledge of it, I for one, would be willing to send my son to Cross academy."
Kaien was surprised at Yuuki's suggestion. He had never thought of it. "Ahh, Yuuki, that sounds like a great idea.." Yuuki raised a finger to him. "I won't take no for an answer. I talked to Isaya about this. Both of us will be willing to lend a hand, if possible. He's the one the suggested it in the first place. If it's financially speaking, Both, Isaya and I will back you up." Kaien was stunned. For a minute he had forgotten that Yuuki was his adopted daughter. They way she had spoken and her mannerisms. Surely, in such a short time, she had matured. She knew what she was doing. Kaien smiled. "I like it. But..."
"If it's about Kaname, then forget it. Remember, by birthright, I am also a Kuran. Besides, if Kaname doesn't approve, I will. We have spoken of the matter with the families in Europe, and they have agreed to it. They are willing to send their children overseas, to this school." Again, Kaien was left speechless. He sighed again. "Once Kaname finds out, he won't be too pleased that I've taken a descision that includes the vampire race. But, like you said, I won't worry to much about it. I will only inform certain families. " Yuuki clasped her hands together.
"That's great! I'm glad.." She trailed off. "I want my children to experience many things in his life. I want him to be carefree, without a worry in the world. I want him to make good friends, friends that will love him for who he is. I want him to love his friends for who they are. I want him to live, love, and laugh.." She trailed off. Kaien simply smiled.
"That's the same thing Juuri said years ago. She wanted the same thing for you. Though I'm sure he's happy enough already, Yuuki. So far, you've raised him well."
"Maman!" Kaoru burst through the door. "Kaoru, what did I tell you about running indoors?" He straightened himself up. "Only animals run around mindlessly "He sighed a little in irritation. Yuuki laughed softly. Kaoru blushed in embarrassment. "I'm going to go get ready. We leave soon..right?" Yuuki had lost track of time. She stood up from where she sat. "Yes, it's almost time. I have to go ready myself."
"See ya later, dad.." She grinned. Kaien's heart fluttered as he watched Yuuki leave. "She called me dad~" He repeated to himself happily.
All of the higher class had attended the Soiree, along with the hunters of course. Many were chattering amongst themselves, . The last purebloods had arrived and out stepped Yuuki Cross, along her escort, Isaya Shouto. She latched on to his arm, wearing an elegant dress. She climbed down the stairs, by his side. Many of the chattering ceased, and Kuran Kaname turned to look at the two vampires who had disappeared from the country. Yes, Yuuki looked beautiful. Even more so than any other woman he had ever laid eyes upon. Of course, those who had already known the young female, had already known that her beauty was due to the strong Kuran blood running through her veins. Isaya smiled gently at the others.
"Isaya-sama, what a pleasure to see you." Most would say to him.
"Isaya-sama, I hope you had a good slumber" Others would say. Yuuki wanted to roll her eyes at those who found themselves trying to get close to them.
"Ah, our Pureblood princess, may we have your name?" Yuuki wanted to refuse, but Isaya only chuckled at her actions, Yuuki sighed and turned her head towards them. "Yuuki, It's Yuuki." She smiled. A fake smile she had put on her face.
"Ah, Yuuki-sama." They would tell her. "We heard that we now have younger purebloods." Yuuki wanted to tell them off. "Yes, our children, and they are far too young to be amongst us, do you think not?" Anger radiated her, that's when they backed off. Isaya laughed softly. "Ah, Yuuki dear, don't be so mean." Yuuki puffed her cheeks. "It's none of their business what my personal life is like." She calmed herself down. "I am aware that I will introduce them to society soon, but I often think that I don't want him to be around them. Nasty things." She said with edge to her voice at the lasts words that slipped out of her mouth. Isaya laughed again. " Very much so like Juuri." Yuuki smiled. "I am nothing like her. My mother was far the meaner one." She said playfully.
"Isaya-san, and..you must be Yuuki Cross." Both of them turned around. Yuuki froze at the voice she had heard behind herself. That voice could only belong to him. Her Kaname. "Greetings." She smiled, trying to hide away all the pain she felt. Her eyes shifted over to Sara.
"Yuuki-san, what a beautiful name. Who was it that gave you a beautiful name? Your mother? Or your human father?" Yuuki knew Sara was tempting her. She wanted to grab her by the throat and kill her but, she did not. Yuuki only smiled. "My parents gave me that lovely name. " The way Sara latched on to her beloved Kaname's arms made her want to rip her throat out even more. Yuuki was feeling Jealous, the type of Jealousy that made he want to kill the woman before her. But, she remained calm and composed, despite the fact that deep down she was feeling very furious.
"And your parents, who were they?" Yuuki was about to say something to her but, Kaname intervened. "Sara, such an impolite question you're asking." Sara smiled. "Why, yes of course, forgive me then." She bowed and walked off. Yuuki narrowed her eyes at Sara. "Miss Yuuki." Yuuki turned her attention back to Kaname. Her eyes giving him a soft, yet pained look. In all, she looked at him with sorrow in her eyes. Kaname took notice of this. His heart began to tug at him.
"I heard both of you were living in France." Isaya nodded his head. "Tell me Isaya, how are you? My parents were very good friends with you, I heard." Isaya smiled. "They were. Haruka and Juuri always ended up protecting my slumber. Silly parents of yours, Kaname. That Juuri was a full ray of sunshine. Such a darling woman. They were my closest friends, and the people I could trust the most." Kaname nodded his head. Then averted his gaze back to Yuuki. "I heard, you and Yuuki had children?" Yuuki smiled gently. "Yes, Kaoru and Aoi " Kuran-She thought to herself, but instead she said trying to hold her ground. This was not a place to cry at.
"Please, send my regards to them" Your children. The words rung in her head. Kaoru and Aoi were proof of their love together. She wanted to yell at him, cry to him, and run into his arms and tell him everything. Instead she only smiled, as if she was going to cry. Kaname noticed this in her facial expressions. He questioned himself, why did she look so sad when talking to him? Kaname averted his eyes. "I hope to see you again soon, I must attend to the other guests." Yuuki and Isaya both nodded.
"Yuuki, if you want, we can leave." He felt her tremble slightly. Yuuki looked up to him. She was so small compared to him. She shook her head. "No, we're here to support Kaname." Her expression changed once more.
"I see."
"Yuuki-sama!"
Yuuki turned around to see Hanabusa, Kain, Ruka, and Seiren by her side. She smiled cheerfuly at them. "It's nice to see you all!" Isaya took Yuuki's hand and kissed it. Yuuki blushed. "I'll leave to your friends." Yuuki nodded. "O-okay." She slightly stuttered.
Kaname watched the scene from far off. In truth, he felt slightly jealous. He wasn't happy with the fact that Isaya and Yuuki were together. He took a sip of his wine, while Kaien spoke to him. Though Kaien took notice of the scene and grinned mischievously. "Ah? Kaname-kun, feeling jealous of my beautiful daughter and my beautiful son-" He stopped himself, Kaname looked at him in anger. "Isaya...my son...in law..." Realization hit him. That man, his son in law. He nearly fainted.
"No...I wont allow it!"
In a way, it was a come back for Kaname. Amusement flickered in his eyes when he saw Kaien looking so gloomy.
"Hanabusa has been giddy all day because he was going to see you today." Ruka said teasingly. Hanabusa jumped up. "Excuse me! You were the one who was getting excited over the fact that you were going to see Kaoru-sama." Ruka flared up in anger, but Yuuki stopped the both of them. "I dropped Kaoru off at your household, Aidou." Hanabusa jumped up with a grin on his face. "Yes, you can all go see him. I'm sure he'll be thrilled to meet you all." Yuuki laughed softly.
"Yuuki-sama, it's nice to see you smiling.." Aidou trailed off. Yuuki nodded her head. "I have to, for our son. He is the light of my world. " Yuuki gave them a warm motherly smile. They were all slightly shocked. "I will be excusing myself, but, I need you all to come along. Especially you Seiren." Seiren seemed hesitant at first. "Seiren, don't hesitate, when Kaname is not near, you know it's my orders you are to follow."
"Yuuki-sama, but Kaname-sama will be angry." Yuuki smiled mischievously. "Not to worry, I will handle that myself."
Kaname narrowed his eyes at the sight he saw before him. All of his followers followed Yuuki, as she led them away from the party. Even Seiren. Kaname decided to follow along.
"Now that your all here, ask away." She smiled at them.
"When can we meet Kaoru-sama?"
"Today actually, as soon as the party is over, you can all go meet him. I've told him alot about you guys, and he's anxious. So anxious that he wanted to tag along." She giggled softly. "Well, we can't wait to meet him. I'm sure Riku and Sakura are having fun as we speak." Sakura was an Aidou, and Riku was the son of Akatsuki Kain, and Souen Ruka.
"What of Aoi-sama?"
"She's on vacation with her uncle Shiki."
Kaname stepped in, making all of his loyal followers slightly tremble. "Kaname..sama?" Aidou spoke up. The chandelier in the room shattered, making them all look even more nervous. "Seiren, you are to be at my side always. I never gave you the orders to-"
"Kaname-san. I brought them all here. As a pureblood they cannot disobey me." She stated as a matter of fact. He looked at her in anger. "Seiren is my loyal servant, not yours." Yuuki narrowed her eyes.
"You are not the boss of me. As the star of the party, you should go stay with your guests. It's rude to keep them waiting. Especially your fiancee' " Everyone in the room shuddered. No pureblood was ever brave enough to go against Kaname. But Yuuki had done it. The atmosphere around them was heavy, and dark. Kaname was angry, but Yuuki didn't care. "Go on, King Kuran, what I do, is none of your business. Now, if you'll excuse me.."
Yuuki wasn't scared of him. She knew Kaname was angry. She almost giggled at the thought that he looked so angry. He looked so cute, and it was fun to tease him that way. She walked out of their sight.
Kaname watched her leave, and as soon as she was gone, he turned to his loyal followers. "And so, I wonder why you're all so friendly with her." Her, referring to Yuuki. Kaname was still feeling angry. Takuma entered with a cheerful smile plastered on his face. "Hey everyone! I just saw Yuuki-sama outside. She looks as beautiful as ever! Much more than Sara-sama" Takuma failed to see the shaking of heads between his friends, and an angry Kaname stood before him. "Oh, and we could go see Kaoru-sama tonight!" Oblivious he was to his surroundings. He heard the shattering of glass in the room, when he finally noticed, Takuma smiled nervously. "Ah...I think I heard Yuuki-sama call for help. See you!" Hanabusa's mouth dropped open. "Traitor!" Kaname turned his head towards Aidou. "Ah..Kaname-sama, I think It's time I went home. Sakura must be feeling lonely without her daddy!"
"I haven't given you permission to leave, Aidou." The young noble vampire laughed again. "Of course, Kaname-sama."
The silver haired vampire hunter frowned as he laid eyes upon the pure blood princess; Yuuki Kuran. . He was hoping she wouldn't stop, but she did. Yuuki stopped and turned her body around, giving Zero a small smile. "Zero, it's nice to see you again." Zero just looked at her. "What do you want?"
Yuuki puffed her cheeks a bit. "Why I'm fine thank you, glad you asked." She said sarcastically. Zero frowned. "Still a klutz?" He asked with an amused look on his face. Yuuki turned her head. "I'm far beyond that now."
"So I heard you have brats."
"Those brats are your nephew and niece." She corrected him. "You too, I got a call earlier this morning with a chirpy voice that said 'Yay! My grandson is coming to visit!'" Zero had an expresionless look on his face. Yuuki giggled. "Yeah, he hasn't changed has he?" Zero shook his head.
"I'm sure your raising them well." Yuuki smiled. "They're both trouble makers. Always getting into trouble, those two. Always with a spunky attitude, always speaking their mind, sometimes they can be rude, and no matter how much I punish them, they will never change. " Yuuki sighed. Zero shook his head. "They better change their attitude soon. Remember I deal with trouble makers for a living." Yuuki sighed. "I know, I know."
"It looks like you're doing okay." Zero said softly, looking at her with gentle eyes. Yuuki cast her eyes down. "I have too smile for Kaoru." She replied. "Yuuki.." He said gently.
She looked up at Zero and smiled brightly again. "Well, It was nice seeing you again, Zero. Do come by sometime during the week. I'm staying with the chairman. Maybe you can meet Kaoru."
"Yeah, I just might, but don't tell that idiot." He looked away, watching Kaien cheerfully mingle with the other guests. He glared at him. '
"See you again soon."
Yuuki said her farewells and dismissed herself from the party.
Kaname looked down at his loyal followers. "I hope none of you are hiding things from me. I don't like secrets." Kaname added with warning in his voice. All three of them smiled at Kaname. "Nothing at all!"
"Kaname-sama, Yuuki wanted to know a little more about what has been happening here. After all, she was living in France for a pretty long time. " Seiren added. Aidou perked up. "Yes, that's true! We were only updating her on the things that have been going around here. Of course, we haven't said too much either, we know what we must talk about and what we mustn't say." Aidou sighed.
Kaname looked at him, still angry as before, but decided he would let them be.
"Very well then. But, If I find that you are hiding something. I will punish you." He turned around.
"You are free to leave the party."
All three sighed of them sighed in relief.
"That Takuma!" Aidou gritted his teeth in annoyance. "Well I have to go. Sakura-chan is probably missing her amazing papa!" Kain and Ruka looked at each other annoyed by Aidou. But soon decided to follow him as well. After all, their son was over at his house as well
Yay! A longer chapter! This is the normal length for me. If it seems less next time, it's entirely due to the fact that I didn't know what to write anymore.
Also My FF13 and Versus Crossover fic will be updated sometime this week. I'm still trying to finish that up. But I had some writers block but its gone now. Anyways. Goodbye!.
