Silence.
What had he said?
That question...
What should I say?
I...I think I do remember something.
A little bit of what he asked about...
But, it's not pleasant.
I don't really want to remember that.
The snow.
It was red.
Red like...
No.
I won't say it.
I won't let myself say that word.
Or think it.
Or even...
Just no.
They're looking at me again.
Expectant.
As if everything else they were planning to tell me is dependent on this one answer.
I look at Kaien, probably because he looks the most normal.
The other two were two intense.
"I do...remember...a lot." I told him.
I chose my words carefully.
I didn't want him to instantly jump to conclusions that I knew why this was so important.
I couldn't remember exactly how significant this...myth was in my life.
I guessed at very, otherwise he wouldn't have asked.
I shuffled a little on the bed.
Kaien looked delighted.
"Oh! My innocent daughter is still able to fight for my dream of pacifism! I shall praise the day she came to me! What a brilliant, amazing, cute daughter I have!" He exclaimed.
I simply blinked.
I seemed un-phased by his definitely abnormal behaviour.
As if I'd seen it before.
I guessed I had.
He did say I was his daughter after all.
I snuck a glance at Zero.
He had his eyes closed and looked bored.
Kaname looked calm and serene.
He leant casually against the wall, next to where Zero was sitting.
He almost caught me looking at him.
But I looked away in time.
"Alright Yuki. Do you wanna come back with us? Or stay for a bit?" Zero was looking right at me.
His eyes were so intense, it made me blush.
I seemed to blush a lot.
"Oh...Um...Well, hospitals give me the creeps, so, I'd prefer to go back home." I told him, and then added quietly, "Wherever that is..."
"Oh! Brilliant! Fantastic! My little daughter already wants to spend quality time remembering her father!" Kaien was beginning to bug me.
But I paid him no mind.
Kaname looked straight at me then.
"Are you sure? You haven't yet regained your memories. It could be, odd for you to return now." He spoke softly; I couldn't help but lap up every word.
I nodded vigorously.
"I'm sure! Really sure! I want to leave!" I exclaimed, trying my very best not to falter.
Kaname smiled at me.
It was a small smile.
But it still made my stomach churn.
"Ugh. Typical Yuki. Acting as if nothing has happened." Zero spoke up next and I glared at him.
He only pouted and looked away.
My stomach churned again.
Kaien came very close to me then, his index finger raised as if he were a teacher making a very important point.
"Make sure of one thing Yuki!" He said, his voice was serious, but playful.
I nodded, and became serious myself.
"Don't let Kiryuu drink your blood again!"
My heart stopped.
What?
Drink my blood?
Zero?
Why?
Why would I do that?
Zero...me...blood?
Blood.
My...blood?
Wait!
Zero's...a vampire?
I could remember.
He wasn't always a vampire...
But Kaname...Kaname was a...
Pureblood vampire...
Blood.
Me?
Oh...Oh no...
