Whaat? Did you honestly think I abandoned this fic? Naaaaah. I had a massive writers block, and every time I looked down on it, I knew I had to update and write the chapter out some day, but this fic is back on track and so am I. So this is probably the longest I've gone without updating, but here I am again with a new chapter.
One warning, Yuuki may seem a bit OOC, but my Yuuki in this story is a mature strong Yuuki, who has had no choice but to grow up because she has children, and not only that, but because she has things to protect. ;D So, I hope you don't mind her-and Kaname is still Kaname so no worries here!
I do not own Vampire Knight.
Kaoru and Aoi sat together on a small bench outside in the gardens. The moon shone brightly over them. The twins held each other's hand, looking up to the night sky. Excitedly, Aoi was pointing out to each star she saw in the sky.
"And that one, I'm going to name that star!"
Kaoru tilted his head slightly. "But what if it already has a name?" Aoi shook her head. "No, I won't let them name it. I'm naming it...Kaoru!" She giggled.
"Eh? What?" Kaoru lightly blushed, he puffed his cheeks up lightly. "Fine, then that one. " He pointed out. "Will be called, Aoi." He grinned back at his sister. Aoi stared at him for a while, but she smiled brightly. "They're right next to each other, see?" He added. "And...the stars they'll stay together for an eternity."
"Like us." Aoi quickly added.
"Yeah...like us...-We'll be together forever, right Aoi-chan?" The girl quickly nodded her head.
"Yeah, forever and ever."
Yuuki stared at the moon, her eyes still continued to show the same kind of lonliness they had showed before.
"Truth is, I don't want them to know..." She whispered softly.
"Yuuki sama, this school you speak of..."
"I have spoken to the council, and yes...I did somewhat force them to keep this a secret from Kaname." She smiled a bit deviously. To which Aidou shuddered at that smile. It had been the same smile Kaname would put on when he was planning something.
"I want to try this for the children, this way they will learn to grow even better. I know the night class still exists, but I want to expand this peace further. I want the children to learn now, so that when they are older they will make good decisions in their life. I want Kaoru, and Aoi to learn on their own, to feel like normal children for once, even if just for a while." She trailed off, sighing.
"I see your point. Then if that is the case...I accept, and my children will go to school then. I will also carry out the invitations to the other families. Discretely as you would want, so that Kaname doesn't know of this."
"Yes, that man would never allow this. He barely allowed the night class when it was proposed." She smiled. "He's afraid that something would happen, but that's fine." She nodded her head, standing up, she tilted her head slightly. "Well then, I must be off. Good luck in sending out those invitations, Aidou-san."
She didn't want Kaname to meet Kaoru and Aoi. It was too risky. Kaname would instantly know something would be up, and her children were no fools either. They were intelligent, and they would also figure something was up. Yuuki continued to dwell on these thoughts, until the sound of a car pulling up infront of the gates, distracted her. She looked out her window to see a very familiar car parked outside. She gasped lightly, and pulled back, closing her curtain.
Yuuki called over the maid to her. "Please, do not let Kaoru or Aoi go down stairs. Tell them these are my orders-"
"Maman?" Aoi called out, with Kaoru standing at her side. Inseperable they were as always, which was another thing Yuuki adored about them. She sighed in relief, and gave them a small smile.
"I want you two to stay up here. We shall be receiving visitors from the council, and It is an important matter. Do not come down unless I tell you to, understand?" She gave them a stern look, which indicated to them; that if they did happen to disobey her, they would be in for it.
"Yes mama." They both said in unision
Yuuki smiled, leaning down to kiss their foreheads. She waved them off, as she walked down the stairs to greet the new guest. Just as soon as she had reached the bottom half of the stairs, the door bell rung; and one of the maids had rushed to open the door.
"Ah, Kuran-sama." The maid bowed. "Please come in, my lord."
"Ah, Sherry. Thats enough, I will take it from here." Yuuki said from where she was standing. The maid excused herself, leaving Yuuki alone with Kaname.
"Hello, Kaname-san." A smile was brought to her face. A true sincere smile, that she would only ever show to her beloved before.
"Ahh, Yuuki-san. What a pleasure seeing you here."
"Likewise, and I didn't expect to see you here."
She smiled again. Feeling a slight pain inside, at the sight of him. She wanted to run into his arms and embrace him, and hold onto him. But she couldn't do that. She cast her eyes away from him; and she turned her back towards him.
"Please follow me." She said in a soft voice.
"I wonder..." He looked at her, wondering once more. He wondered why she looked at him with such sad eyes. She had a smile that he liked to look at. Deep down, he wanted that smile to be only for him, and him alone.
And he knew that this would be a sin.
Betraying Sara for Yuuki.
That is something only a beast would do.
But then again, weren't they all beasts? Beasts, disguised as beautiful humans?
Without realizing it, they had reached the den; where Yuuki turned to him with that same smile. "I'm not sure that Headmaster Cross is in, but I will go check and see."
"Before you leave, Miss Yuuki. I have a question for you."
Yuuki felt a bit nervous, but she was well composed, in hiding any of her emotions and smiled once more. "Yes, Kaname-san?"
"Why do you look so sad when you look at me?"
She was taken back by this question. She had no other way, and didn't know how to respond to that one. Instantly, she came up with a good lie. Her lips formed a smile again. "You remind me of my deceased husband."
"Oh? " Yuuki looked down. "Yes, you have that same gentle look in your eyes, as he did. You actually care about the people around you. Yet you hide your emotions because of your status. Yet, you really are gentle." Kaname, smiled faintly. "I'm not so gentle as you think, my dear Yuuki."
My dear Yuuki
Yuuki quickly cast her eyes away from him. She felt sorrow overtake her again. Kaname would always say that to her, when he was showing extra affection for her, than he normally would. When he would want her to not worry, or care about little insignificant things.
Kaname, didn't know where that came from. He called her that, without even knowing her properly, yet it felt just right. It shouldn't feel right, but it did. He sighed, realizing how awkward Yuuki must have felt. He coughed slightly, and changed the subject.
"Ah, and how is Kaoru?"
"He is doing well." Yuuki nearly bit her lip out of nervousness. "I would like to meet him sometime."
"Yes sometime but not tonight. Kaoru is enjoying time with his sister. Which I wouldn't like to disturb them at all."
Kaname raised an eyebrow at her. "Sister?"
Yuuki mentally cursed herself for that revelation.
"Yes, the two of them are twins, in fact. Kaoru, and Aoi; When they're together the world that revolves around them means nothing." Her eyes were overcome with more sadness as she said this. "They were made for each other." She found herself adding.
Like you and I, were always meant to be with each other.
But fate is cruel.
"Pureblood twins. How unheard of. I never thought of it to be possible." Yuuki found herself nodding. "But it is. Unlike the hunters, these twin purebloods are just like any other pureblood. Neither of the two; are frail, or sickly. For that I am grateful."
Yuuki smiled, feeling a sense of pride in her children.
"Siblings that were made for each other. A love that is stronger than any."
Kaname smiled back at Yuuki, making her faintly blush. She coughed slightly. "Ahh, Kaname-san, would you like something to drink?"
Your delicious blood, which would be the only one to satiate my thirst.
Kaname found himself thinking. But he shook his head. "No, nothing at all, I only came here to speak with you, not the headmaster-I was curious, if I dare say. But you seem gentle, Yuuki. I've never seen such a gentle creature such as yourself. You were a prefect at Cross Academy, and you were always so admirable."
Yuuki smiled at the compliment. "Gentle? Hah. I think not, we are only beasts in the form of humans after all, I can never be gentle." She responded quickly. To which Kaname added "Ah, but, even the wildest, and viscious of beasts can be tamed and become gentle. Rare is a sight, but possible. In this case, you are a rare beast among us all."
Yuuki let out a small chuckle. "Yes, why thank you for the compliment, Kaname-san." She turned around, ready to leave him. "I shall go get us something to drink then."
No, he wouldn't let her leave. Kaname felt that she needed to stay near him, so he grabbed her wrist, without thought. Yuuki gasped lightly, turning around and feeling her heart tug at her again. "Yuuki...the young girl I saved that night, years ago. Who would have thought you were someone like me." Kaname stared into her own chocolate brown eyes. His need for her blood growing greater. "You are unguarded against me. The me, who is thirsty."
As if out of reflex, Yuuki removed any strands of hair from around her neck. "Then...drink." She said this; entranced by him, a soft command to him. Yuuki knew what she was doing. The problem was, that she began to feel her throat getting warm, a tingling sensation, once Kaname was near her. Readying himself to sink his fangs into her neck. She took in Kaname's scent.
His neck looked really inviting.
His blood...one she hadn't tasted in such a long time. Yuuki knew that his blood was the only one who could satiate her thirst.
Kaname knew what he was doing. He wanted Yuuki's blood, but as soon as he was about to sink his fangs into her neck. He stopped himself and pulled back. Yuuki quickly snapped out of her trance. His scent lingering in the air, and her thirst for him was strong. She had been able to control her hunger for these past years because well...Isaya was there once or a few times to feed her, even if against her own will.
Yuuki unconciously grabbed onto the collar of his shirt. Unbuttoning it a little. Kaname did not stop her though. He let her do as she pleased. "How long has it been since you last fed?" Yuuki paused for a second. "..It's been a while..." She said softly.
"Has Isaya not fed you?"
"He does...he often forces me...but I refuse."
"Is it your husband's blood you miss? I am aware that only your most precious person's blood can truly satiate your thirst..." Kaname closed his eyes. Yuuki said nothing at this, but in a sense; Kaname was right. Her previous husband; meaning, him. Was the only one who could satisfy her.
"You were never meant for this life Yuuki. I always thought you to be to pure, to live the life of a sinful beast...it doesn't suit you."
I am not so pure...
I am just like you, Kaname.
Yuuki hesitated when he said that to her. "Why are you not stopping me?" She asked, feeling guilty that she was going to take his blood. His blood no longer belonged to her, it belong to Sara. "Some things in this life, are better left un answered." He replied back to Yuuki as she brushed her fangs along his neck.
His beautiful neck, how wonderful it smelled. Yuuki loved his scent so much. It was like a drug to her. She opened her mouth up wide, and finally pierced the skin, and sunk her fangs in. Letting the beastly side of her take over. She fed on his blood. His blood tasted so sweet to her. The warm liquid that went down her throat was like no other. Not even Isaya could make satisfy her like this.
Aoi turned her head towards the door, walking up towards it. She placed her hand on the door knob, but was shocked as soon as she did. She yelped, and quickly pulled her hand back. "Ow..."
Kaoru ran quickly towards his sister. "Aoi!" He said, trying to get a look at her hand, but Aoi shook her head. "I'm fine." Kaoru sighed in relief.
"So...Mama had a barrier be put around us. She really doesn't want us to meet the council members.." Aoi nodded quietly in agreement. "Whatever is happening-Kaoru, I smell...blood." Kaoru raised his head up, and looked towards the door. "Mama?..." Kaoru questioned, but furrowed his eyebrows and shook his head.
"No..but it smells...kinda like hers...really familiar...too." He said. But he couldn't sneak out. Neither could Aoi. The room had a special barrier put up around it, to keep them in. The barrier that was used, was anti-vampire. Their mother was really serious about not letting them outside.
The twins were young, but they were smart enough to know that their mother was hiding something from them for sure.
Yuuki could drain all of his blood if she wanted too. But, she knew how to control herself. So she quickly pulled away, and wiped the last drop that was on her lips. She sighed, looking down a bit.
"...Forgive me. That wasn't like me at all..." She mumbled. "I promise you it won't happen again." Kaname looked at her with a smile on his face. "I hope it doesn't. You realize that you have children. I'm afraid that they need you to be strong. You must feed when Isaya offers you his blood, Yuuki. You are no longer a child, and so you must feed when need be. I won't be there to save you next time."
Yuuki nearly frowned, but instead she smiled. "No no, of course. It won't happen. I assure you it won't. " She coughed, clearing her throat. "So, to what do I owe your visit today?"
You...
Was what Kaname wanted to reply, instead, he shook his head. "I needed to know who you exactly where, considering we only briefly met at the party, and I only briefly found out that the girl I saved was also a pureblood." He faintly smiled. "I was curious."
Kaname knew he had lied. He really did have a desire to see Yuuki, and see if he could quench his thirst, but in the end-it was Yuuki that drank from him. It was wrong, yet it had felt just right to him. Kaname smiled back at Yukki, and kissed a strand of her hair.
"I do hope we meet again soon, Miss Yuuki."
Yuuki was slightly startled by his actions, and she watched the man she loved leave.
As soon as Kaname exited, Yuuki had ordered the house maids to lift the barriers to the room the two children were in. Exhausted, Yuuki retreated into her own room, to lay down and re collect her own thoughts. Her emotions were draining the energy out of her, and whats more. She drank from a man who no longer belonged to her.
She really needed time to herself.
As for the Kuran pair, these two lovely children were anxious, and they really wanted to know why the person whom had entered, had a scent similar to that of their mother's. A familiar scent that felt so calm, and just right to them, but they would not dare question her. Though, no one said investigating on their own would hurt anyone.
