Now the day has come
We

Yuuki ran along with Rido. Staring up at him in confusion, Yuuki ran beside her uncle. He said nothing to her, offering no sort of explanation. Paparazzi flashed their cameras, following them as they ran to their limo. As soon as they climbed in, Rido shut the door behind them. Yuuki stared at him in concern. He was leaning forward, his hands covering his face from her view.
"Rido?" she whispered. "Are you alright?" He didn't answer her. Yuuki bit her lip.
"Rido-kun... are you... are you.. thirsty?" she asked. Her question surprised. Throughout the ten years that they stayed together, Yuuki had point-bank refused to give him blood. She knew what he thirsted for, more than anything else. Her blood. It had been for that reason alone he had taken her so many years ago. But, he did not kill her, or drink her blood. He said he wanted her to give it to him willingly.
It was the only way he would be truly satisfied.
Rido stared at her with his different colored eyes. Confusion, anger, and anticipation clearly showed his feelings on the matter. Yuuki scooted closer to her uncle, hesitating. He merely watched her, not bothering to stop her. Yuuki leaned closer to him, reaching over to press a button to raise the screen between the drivers seat and them. They were isolated now.
Returning her attention to him, Yuuki stared into her uncle's eyes. Biting her lip, she moved closer to him, slowly sitting on his lap. She has never done this before. Usually, it was him who would advance on her. She wouldn't refuse him, of course. She... she loved her uncle. She simply couldn't deny him that.
Her blood was a different story, however.
Yuuki took Rido's face in her hands, leaned in and pressed her lips against his. It was slow, but passionate. Rido leaned back, breaking the his. His breathing was slightly heavy from the kiss. Slowly, but surely, he kissed her jaw line, tracing sweet kisses down her neck. He hesitated.
"Are you sure?" He asked. Yuuki could feel the words on her skin. She nodded, swallowing a hard lump in her throat. "Go... go ahead."
She was afraid. Who wouldn't be? No one has ever drank her blood before. She has drank Rido's blood, she knew of the secrets it told. When you drink some one's blood, it is considered an intimate moment, especially between two vampires. She was scared of what her own blood would reveal to her uncle.
She was also scared if he drink it all. She knew not of his true feelings for her, even though he said he did love her. She had a feeling it was a lie, but she was not sure. His blood had revealed nothing of that. Yuuki moaned as his fangs sinked into her skin. Rido released a throaty growl of pleasure as he tasted her blood.
Her blood poured like strawberry wine, so delicious and delectable. Yuuki sighed. Relaxing in his arms.
Rido could feel a strong wave of love in her blood, love for him. It also held sorrow, how she missed her parents, her brother. Yuuki slowly weakened as he drank more of her blood, growing tired. Rido, reluctantly, stopped. He licked up the remaining blood on her neck, and healed her wounds with a kiss.
Yuuki looked down at him, smiling slightly. She kissed his lips gently, licking her blood off of his own chin. Rido did not speak to her, but something.. Something was different about his eyes. She could not tell what. Yuuki leaned against his chest, and slowly fell asleep. Rido caressed his niece, kissing her forehead.
What a delicate child.
-
We lived our lives in
our paradise,
As gods we shaped the world around
No borderlines
we'd stay behind,
Though balance is something fragile
-
Yuuki woke in their bed. Rido sat across from her, watching her carefully as she sat up. She met his gaze, but never said anything. His hand held his chin up, as if he was thinking about something. He sat there, unmoving, even as she finally left the room to change. Something was different today. Something about his air, his aura. Something.. Did it have to do with her... allowing him to drink her blood?
Maybe... Maybe she shouldn't have done that. But, she had wanted him to drink her blood. Admittedly, she had wanted it for a long time. Yuuki combed her hair with her fingers in front of the mirror in their bathroom. She sighed. Slowly, she left the bathroom, wearing something much more simpler this time. A purple blouse, and skirt.
"Oji-sama... I'm sorry, I thought you were thirsty, so..." Yuuki faltered, meeting his gaze as she sat on their bed. Rido smirked slightly. It wasn't malicious, quite kind actually.
"Do not apologize. You have no reason to." he told her. Rido stood up, and walked toward her. He loomed over her, his brown curly locks tickling her skin. Yuuki bit her lip. Not for the first time in her life, she felt intimidated by him. But it has been a long time.
"Do you realize what you do to me?" he asked, whispering, his warm breath tickled her nose. She looked up into his multi colored eyes. Yuuki's breath hitched, and she tried to swallow that hard lump in her throat that never seemed to go away.
Rido quickly captured her lips with his, kissing her roughly. She let out a small moan, opening her mouth. Rido used this chance to slip his tongue into her mouth, and soon, they began to battle for dominance. Rido leaned forward, their lips still locked, Yuuki now flat on her back. She let out another moan, wrapping her legs around him.
"O-Oji-sama.." she breathed. Rido, in response bit down on her lip with his fangs, causing her to bleed. Yuuki smirked slightly, then, with her own fangs, bit Rido on his lips, a little rougher than usual. Rido growled, pleased with her response. Their blood mingled as they licked it all up in a furry of passionate kisses. Yuuki moaned again. Rido, after many minutes of making out with his niece, broke away from her. Yuuki panted, staring at him.
"Do you love me?" he asked. Yuuki raised an eyebrow. He knew she did. He had drank her blood, which sang for him, and told him of her true feelings. Yuuki nodded.
"Juuri... my sweet, sweet Juuri..." Yuuki growled at him. Using her legs, and flipped her uncle over. Now, being on top, Yuuki smirked at him as he stared at her with slight surprise. She leaned in, her breath tickling his ear.
"I am not my mother, Oji-sama." Yuuki whispered. It frustrated her how much her uncle loved her mother. But she also found it a little sad. She wanted her uncle Rido to think of Yuuki as Yuuki. Not of Yuuki as Juuri. She was not her mother, no matter how much she looked like her.
-
Now the day has
come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will
pass us by,
We are forsaken,
We're the last of our kind
-
Yuuki kissed her uncle more as she began to unbutton his shirt. Rido, realizing her intentions, began to pull off her shirt with equal fervor. It was then they both heard something. Yuuki's ears picked up faint calling of her name. Whoever it was was in her home, and they were searching for her. But who could it be?
As Yuuki stopped and got off of him, smoothing her skirt, she glanced at him, and then toward their door. Rido sat up, running his hand through his hair.
"Rido?" she asked, whispering. She recognized those voices. She recognized them. Yuuki opened the door with Rido behind her. As she raced down the stairs, Rido leisurely followed. They both knew who was in the main hall. They didn't need to be told. Yuuki opened the door to the main hall, and gasped.
There they were. Her family. Her family. Juuri smiled as she viewed her already grown up daughter, who was an exact image of herself. Haruka smiled. He couldn't believe how grown up she was, and how long she had been gone.
Kaname was not un-affected. He broke out smiling. He had not smiled in ten years, ever since they had found her missing. He did not care how he looked. He smiled, wildly. You would too, if you had found the one person who was more important to you than life itself, after being gone for so many years.
Yuuki smiled too. She ran toward them, her arms outstretched. She hugged each and every one o them, but not for long. Kaname was reluctant to let her go, but he could see something different about her. She was not the Yuuki he had known.
It was to be expected, of course, after being away from her for ten long and dreary years. Rido watched the touching moment from the stairs, a smirk on his lips.
-
The sacrifice was much
too high,
Our greed just made us all go blind
We tried to hide
what we feared inside
Today is the end of tomorrow
-
"How did you know I was here?" Yuuki asked her mother, holding her hands.
Juuri smiled. "Your father and I watched your movie. And we saw you there, and followed you here."
Yuuki raised an eyebrow. "Really?" she asked. Juuri nodded.
"We would have approached you sooner, but we had promised Kaname that we would tell him immediately if we found you. We did, and he came on our jet."
Yuuki smiled. "I.. I thought you guys were..." As soon as the thought crossed her mind, she turned to her uncle, who they had not noticed.
"Rido! You lied to me! You told me they were dead!" she said. She was upset, any one would be, but she wasn't truly angry. She couldn't, because she understood why he did it. So she would forget about them.
Rido walked down the stairs, hair over his eyes like always, his arms folded across his chest. Yuuki noticed that his shirt was still unbuttoned, and his lips were still bloody. It was only then she realized that her own lips were bloody from both her and Rido's blood, and her hair was a little disheveled from their previous activities. Yuuki blushed, then wiped her lips. Kaname noticed that her lips were pierced from his uncles fangs. He glared at the man he had to call his uncle.
"How dare you defile her." he said coolly. Anger radiated from him like the sun warming the earth on a hot summer's day.
Rido shrugged. "It was her idea." Yuuki, who had before only been the shade of a pink tulip, was now as red as a tomato.
"Oji-sama!" she said. Yuuki stared at her family, taking them all in, as Rido snaked his arms around her, and kissed her on her head. Yuuki was embarrassed about their display of affection in front of her family. A crowd of strangers was one thing, but... in front of her family? Who she has not seen in ten years? It was an entirely different story altogether.
"To what do I owe the visit?" Rido asked.
Kaname glared at him. He was incredibly hurt, and jealous. His Yuuki, his beloved sister, his dear girl, was in the arms of the very man whom he hated. It was just.. wrong. But Yuuki.. Yuuki did not seemed bothered by this little detail. In fact, she seemed quite used to it. She also seemed a bit... worried. She grasped one of Rido's hands, and squeezed it tightly.
"We are here to take our daughter back." Juuri told him angrily. Rido chuckled maliciously.
"It does not look like she wants to go, now does it?" Yuuki bit her lip. How long has she wanted to see her family again, even for one day? To just spend on day with them, it would be great. Her was her chance to go with them, but it wouldn't be for a day. It would be for forever. They had no intentions of letting her go. Especially Kaname. She knew that. She looked down, at her small petite hand, holding onto Rido's large and calloused one. She has held his hand since she was a little girl...
-
As the sea started
rising,
The land that we conquered just washed away
Although we
all have tried to turn back the tide,
It was all in vain
-
"Yuuki?" Kaname asked.
She looked up at him and smiled. Who knew her the best? Who held her close? Who loved her more than any one else?
Kaname.
But who did she want to be with? The person who had did his best to make her happy no matter what, even when she was completely miserable, and was crying for her brother, for her family? He had watched her grow up,taught her how to be an actress, and he was the man she fell in love with.
Rido.
"I'm so sorry.. I'm sorry I disobeyed you, and left the house... I'm sorry I was outside. I'm sorry. But I don't regret it and... " she bit her lip as she closed her eyes. When she opened them, tears poured.
"I'm not leaving."
-
Now the day has
come,
We are forsaken,
There's no time anymore
Life will
pass us by, we are forsaken,
Only ruins stay behind
-
Rido growled in approval as she said this. He looked up at Kaname, smirking. Kaname was angry. More than angry. He did his best to control it, but it was hard. The woman he loved wanted to stay with the man he hated. He was angry. But, he was furious at himself for leaving with his parents. If he had never done that, she would be in his arms, not his uncles's.
"I'm sorry Kaname.. I know.. I know you promised that we would be like mother and father.. but.. you don;t even know me. I'm not the same, Kaname-niisama. I'm just.. not. And I can't help that."
Yuuki took in a deep breath. "The truth of the matter is, you don't know me anymore. And Rido isn't like you said he was.. He can be... but he doesn't treat me badly. I love him, mother. I do... I really do." Yuuki laughed sadly. "Unfortunately, he keeps on thinking I'm you."
Juuri watched her daughter as she spoke. She spoke like a woman in love. Juuri trembled. She loved her daughter. And she was so angry at her older brother that he would take yet another child away from them. She did not want to cause her darling and beautiful daughter sadness, but she could not forgive him for what he has done.
Haruka stared at his older brother. How dare he take another child from them. Did he not realize how this is breaking Juuri's heart? If he loved her as much as he said he did, he would stop, and let them be. He would have never taken Kaname, and he would never have taken Yuuki. In fact, if it wasn't for his older brother, they would have never had to raise Yuuki in hiding.
"Yuuki, he is the very reason we had to raise you in hiding! He took your brother like he did you. He is dangerous!" her father protested.
Yuuki laughed slightly. "I know, Otou-sama.. but, so are you and mother, and Kaname-nii even. And so am I, since we're all vampires. It doesn't matter to me any more. I love him, nothing you can do will change that."
-
Now the day has come
We
are forsaken this time
-
It happened so fast Yuuki never knew it began. Kaname had become angry, something she found un-characteristic of him, even though she has not seen him in so long, he attacked Rido. Rido let go of her and pushed her aside as he quickly bit his finger and whipped Kaname using his blood.
Yuuki let out a scream in horror. Kaname kept on pounding Rido with an unseen force, beating him down. Rido didn't make it easy for him, but... he wasn't winning.
"Kaname!! Kaname please stop it!" Tears of complete sadness escaped Yuuki's eyes as her pleas were ignored.
"Kaa-san! Tou-san! Please stop him, I beg of you!" But even they ignored her as they watched their older brother be destroyed by their son. Yuuki whimpered as she fell to the floor. Every blow to Rido was like a blow to her heart. She knew the outcome of this battle, she knew what would happen.
She watched as their home, the home that they had made together, as if they were husband and wife, get destroyed. She watched as Rido fought valiantly, but it was all for naught.
Yuuki stood up and ran, tears running down her cheeks. Everything was in slow motion for every one. Kaname, with a wave of his hand, hit Rido with a fatal blow. Or he would have, if Yuuki had not run between them. Kaname's eyes widened as he realized what he had done. Rido, shocked, only stared.
She stood before them, her eyes closed, as she clutched her stomach. She was alright. Wounded badly, but alright. Lifting her head, she smiled at Kaname.
"Please stop this, Onii-sama. Please, I beg of you.. stop it."
But he didn't. He raised his hand for the final blow, and that was when Rido shoved her aside, and for one final time, he sent her a wicked smile. His eyes showed sadness, but a strange sense of peace washed over her as she looked into his yes.
With the final strike, Rido Kuran fell. He was barely recognizable. Yuuki crawled over to her defeated lover, wanting to hold and cradle him in her arms, but Juuri and Haruka had pulled her away with Kaname, who barely had a scratch.
She glanced back only once, leaving her almost destroyed home, and she never saw the crystals fall.

A/n: Are you guys made at me? Probably, probably not. If you are a true VK fan (not insulting you, dear reader) you will know if something is wrong. Or, you could think that Yuuki simply missed something. You'll just have to figure it out, wont you? Internet cookie for the one who guesses correctly!
Oh, and it'll have little bits of KanaYu, not too much though, methinks.
