Hello an update! At long last an update! Did you think I was going to abandon this? Naaah, school just got in the way, and since I'm on semester break until febuary I will be trying to update as much as I can. I hope you enjoy this chapter, which I consider kinda short, so sorry about that!

Thank you all for the kind reviews! I really love reading your reviews, they were the ones that actually motivate me to write. So anyways enjoy!


Life seemed so lonely now without her children at her side. But, the Academy was also right next door, not like she couldn't come and go as she pleased. Yuuki could do what she wanted but decided not to. Instead she chose to stay home, and call them every day, and have them come home to dinner every weekend. That was their agreement.

This coming weekend would be their first weekend together; dinner as a family. Her adoptive father was thrilled when she told him of the news. He kept reminding her all week about it. To the point where it was irritating her to no end. He had the maids clean up the house, and add new decorations which she had ordered. The house was undergoing an interior design change, by her orders.

Kaien of course said nothing against her. Because a man could never interfere with a woman's decision; was his first and foremost rule, even if it was his beloved and precious Yuuki.

The phone rang, and Yuuki was quick to pick up.

"Mama, I'm here to report to you." Aoi said in a bored voice. Yuuki frowned a little. "Manners, Aoi. Manners." She lightly scolded over the phone, in a firm voice. Aoi felt a shudder go down her spine. "Mama, I want to go home." She said. "You'll be home this weekend." Yuuki said with a light chuckle.

"Are you and your brother behaving yourselves? I do hope your not giving your teachers any trouble?" Aoi nodded. "We're fine Mama, but...Kaoru is being annoying."

"Oh?"

"He ruined my favorite pajamas." Yuuki chuckled a bit. "The one Uncle Shiki bought for me." Yuuki held back her laughter at her children's antics. "Tell your brother if he doesn't behave himself, I'll be sure to appear in school tonight. Speaking of which, where is he?"

"Playing a card game with Aidou." She said flatly, almost as if seeming annoyed, by the tone of voice she had. But Yuuki understood that they pretty much didn't allow her to play along with them. It was something normal between children. But then again, she remembered that her children were also a bit too mature for their age. They were also sneaky, deceptive little brats.

"Aoi, don't you dare." Yuuki warned, and Aoi bit her lip at her mother's tone of voice. "Dare what?"

"I know that you're up to something, and if I find out that you've done something, it wont be pretty for you little Missy. I have eyes everywhere sweetheart. Don't you forget it."

"...Uhh, bye mama. I have to start going to class soon." With that, her child hung up. Yuuki smirked at herself. She knew her children better than anyone else in the world.

"Yuuki-sama, do we throw these flowers out?" Yuuki shook her head. "No, please don't. Such beautiful things should not be thrown away, instead... plant them in the garden." She directed, and the maids bowed their head and carried off with their work.

"Also, I want you to change the colors in the guest room. The furniture stays as is, but change the the curtains, and the carpet to something red. I want the walls painted beige." She said giving out more orders to the maids.


"Aidou." Hanabusa seemed so nervous by the arrival of his dear friend Kaname. "Y-Yes? Kaname-sama?" Kaname did not look so pleased with him.

"I've come to discuss urgent matters with you."

"Ahh, right! Please, have a seat Kaname-sama!"

There was an awkward silence in the air, and there was a heavy atmosphere that surrounded Kaname. Hanabusa was more than scared, he was ready to piss on himself.

"Did you send your child to a boarding school, perhaps?" Came the million dollar question he was waiting for. Hanabusa knew it had to be something related to that.

"W-Well...yes...yes I did."

"And...what kind of boarding school, may I ask?"

He was stuck there. There was the option of lying to Kaname, and the option of not lying to him, as the man could see through his lies so easily. There was also the part where Kaname could make him say it. So instead by the truth being let out by force, Hanabusa took a deep sigh. "She started school at Cross Academy."

"How many others are attending?"

He really didn't want to say it, but had no choice in the matter either. "Well, just about most of families with children from ages 8-17" He heard shattering glass, and Hanabusa literally let out a whimper.

"K-Kaname-sama?"

Kaname was almost quite literally head of the council, well what was left of it, because the council was pretty much non existent. He had been for the past ten years, because no one else wanted the position, so he had no other option but to take it. "I was informed that there was a decision that was made without my consent. By someone who doesn't even take part in council affairs. May I ask, just as in to why this was done?"

Hanabusa literally almost cried when he saw the deadly look Kaname was giving him. The man was beyond angry.

"Well, it was at Yuuki-sama's request. She rounded us up, and requested this. Because she wanted to start a coexistence between vampires and humans. I believe in her ideals, and the ones whom allowed their kids to go to Cross Academy, also believed in her ideals."

"Coexistence.." Kaname sighed, calming himself down. "That's the same reason You and I went to school years back Kaname-sama. Your parents wanted us to live by these same ideals."

"Regardless, its dangerous. You should not have been persuaded so easily by her words." Kaname knew she lived by Kaien's ideal. Yuuki was a gentle person and It was so hard to believe she was a vampire. How he wished he could see her again.

Kaname let out an exasperated sigh. "Hanabusa, forget it. You don't even need to speak for an apology. I will go speak to her personally."

"Yes Kaname-sama." He wanted to prevent Kaname from doing so, because he was afraid of what an encounter with Yuuki might come to trigger. Aidou didn't want Yuuki's hard work to go to such waste, instead; once Kaname had left, he rushed over to the phone to make some quick important calls.


"According to history, Aoi-sama." The teacher had picked on her to answer. "Which kind of government was once established upon our kind?" Aoi stood up to give her answer. "Before the Council was established, there was a Monarchy that ruled over every single one of us, purebloods, and nobles alike."

"Correct." The teacher nodded and continued to write on the board. "Meaning, that like the Humans, there was once a Royal family that ruled over us for centuries. These Royals were the Kurans. The Kuran family, were the ones who had been established as the Kings to rule over our kind. They were our rulers. But, thousands of years ago, the last Kuran King, established what we know today as the Council of Elders."

"The Council of Elders was tasked with protecting the last remaining pureblood families, and they were tasked with protecting, and making sure all goes well in our society. They worked well together withe The Hunters."

The teacher turned around after giving his explanation. "Yes, Kaoru-sama?" The young Kuran child had his hand raised. "So..."He stood up. "Wasn't the last Kuran King, Grandfather to Kuran Kaname?"

"You forgot to mention that the Council of Elders was also abolished by a Kaname Kuran. Once he saw how corrupt they had become. They don't really exist anymore, but in a way they kinda do, since Kaname Kuran is the leader of our kind again. What he runs is somewhat like...a democracy." He ended up saying. Very proud of himself for that little private lesson his mother gave him. Kaoru had a bored look on his face, but deep down inside, he was somewhat proud of himself.

The teacher seemed annoyed. "Yes, of course, I had forgotten to mention this Kaoru-sama, class is nearly over. But, to the rest of you. " He paused.
"You may ask your parents about this."

Just as he had said, class had ended. Leaving Kaoru with a somewhat smug look on his face. But, nonetheless, there was the weekend. He would later then, ask his mother more about Kaname Kuran. The young boy was rather intrigued by this whole monarchy system. If he had the chance, he would be sure to ask Kaname himself.

"Kaoru, hurry up, we'll be late for our next class." The young Kuran boy snapped back to reality, smiled at his sister, and followed right after her.

"Those two Cross children..." The teacher sat back down on his desk, and watched them leave his classroom.

"They look like Kurans, the Kuran traits are all over them, and Kaoru-sama is like a spitting image of Kaname-sama. The resemblance is far too coincidential." The older man lightly tapped his chin, and perked up upon seeing his other class enter.

"Welcome, to your first day of class, students."


"Kaname-sama, our next destination?" The driver asked.

"Cross Academy."

He either abolished the plans, or something had to happen, but he needed to stop this nonsense that Yuuki was going on about.

Its not that he hated what her ideals were. He just had some kind of fear within him, that something could happen to those kids. He knew of course, that many of them were capable vampires, but there were also t he younger vampire children among them. Kaname sighed, wondering what Yuuki had in mind. Her children were obviously at that school, but despite the dangers, s he sent her children there. A mother would never do such a thing; send their child off into an unknown world so easily.

But t hen again, this was her fathers school. Yuuki grew up here, this was her entire life, and she knew the what the real idea of the school was.

Did Cross finally convince her to do such a thing?

This was also a matter that plagued his mind, aside from the fact that Yuuki drank from him. The sensation of her fangs gently grazing his neck was unforgettable. Kaname unconsciously touched his neck, right where Yuuki had bitten. He really yearned to do the same to her. He wanted her blood. Controlling himself around that woman was so hard.

He could honestly care less about his fiancee. He drank from her o ut of necessity, but never because he loved her. Sara's blood never satiated his thirst. Her blood wasn't thirst quenching, nor was it like the sweet delicious wine he imagined Yuuki's to be.

He really needed to stop thinking about Yuuki in such a way. It was wrong, what he felt was wrong. If she even felt something for him, it would be wrong. Not even beasts themselves would cheat on their own mate.

Kaname pulled out a blood tablet and popped it into his mouth. Nearly wincing at the horrible taste, as he chewed on it. He hoped it would be enough to calm his thirst, as he neared the academy. Because if he saw Yuuki, he wasn't sure of himself.

He wasn't even sure if he would control the beast within. Kaname hated how just meeting her, would make her feel this way. Just by looking at her, made him want her with an intense desire.

He chewed on another blood tablet.

He honestly didn't know how much more he could take.


Dohohoho, I saw that Kaname-so anyways, I hope you loved this juicy chapter! Again so sorry for the short chapter, I'll try to make the next one longer! So anyways, doesn't anyone love Kaname's conflicting emotions with himself?

Sorry for so much focus on our two little twin Kuran OC's. But there's a reason I'm focusing on them, a little more than I should. Remember, these are Pureblood children. Vampires no less, and they grow different than normal humans. They might be 8 years old in Human years, but they have the minds of 10-12 year olds already. Just remember child Kaname. His kids take after him a lot. Specially when it comes to being perceptive.

Haha, I've said to much already, enjoy and review!
