Thanks for the r+r guys! It means a lot to me. I hope this isn't to long... but i just had a thrill writing this chapter! This next chapter might be the one everyone's waiting for! *hint*hint* lol.


The next day I was eager to see Hiroaki, but unfortunately, I knew no place to contact him. While we were in the dinning room having breakfast, someone knocks on the door.

"I'll get it…" Father announces.
"I'll bet its Max" Rosalie gushes.
"Hello my dear son how are you?"
"Great father, I hope I didn't come too early"
"Not at all, we were just having breakfast. Would you like some?" My father asks.
"No… I have already eaten. I just came to say hello to Rosalie and to see if Vivien's coming today to the clinic," Max says.
"She is, why do you ask"
"I just want to apologize to her, I snapped at her when I shouldn't have"
"She understands you my dear son," My father tells him.
"She may but I still wish to apologize" Max responds.
"Aw how sweet my Max wants to apologize" Rosalie says as she walks into the living room.
"Rosalie darling… how are you?" He says, pulling her into a hug.
"Sad, you left so suddenly that I thought you weren't coming back," She says in a glum tone.
"How could you think that, you know I can't stay a day without talking to you" Reluctantly, I walk into the living room with a smile on my face.
"She's lying, she knew you were coming" I half joke.
"Vivien, I'm so glad to see that you're not angry with me"
"I told you last night Max that I wasn't. You left so sudden that you made me feel bad" I respond.
"Aw… now why don't you two hug?" Rosalie suggests. I could not be mad at Max, because in a way, he was correct for getting upset. He loves Rosalie, so of course anything Rosalie cares for, he will care for. I slowly walk up to him and hug him.
"I apologize for my harsh behavior yesterday my dear Vivien," He mumbles, hugging me with much affection.
"No need to apologize Max" I reply with a sincere smile on my face.
"Did you finish breakfast girls?" My father asks.
"Yes daddy…" Both Rosalie and I respond at the same time.
"Well why don't we leave with Max Vivien?"
"That's sounds like a good idea daddy" I reply.
"Are you sure you don't want to come with us Rosalie?" Father asks.
"No… I rather stay and clean up the place. I'll stop by in the afternoon"
"Very well Rosalie dear… see you later" I say.
"Sure thing Vivien darling" She says with her cheery smile. As Max and father talk with Rosalie, I decide to wait for them outside. Suddenly, a carriage stops right next to our house.

"Now who could that be?" My father suddenly says. The carriage door opens and to my surprise, Hiroaki steps out of the carriage. I couldn't help but smile as soon as my eyes saw him!
"Hiroaki… what brings you here?" I said with glee. Suddenly, father steps back into the house.
"I just had to see you Vivien… do you mind my presence?" He asks.
"Not at all, as a matter of fact, I was just dieing to see you" I said with all sincerity.
"Really… why do you wish to see me?" He shyly asks. I open my purse and give him a small bag Rosalie gave me to keep the little marble inside.
"Open it…" I said, since he gave me a confused look. He opens the bag and takes out the marble.
"Vivien… why give me this?" He asks in astonishment.
"It reminded me of you, of your sweet personality… but especially the color of your eyes" I respond.
"You don't know how much this means to me" He says ever so sweetly.
"Do I smell a marriage here?" My father suddenly teases.
"Father please don't scare Mr. Aido away" I giggle nervously.
"Nothing could keep you away from you Vivien" Hiroaki responds, making me blush.
"Hey why don't you come with us to the clinic? If you have the time of course"
"I'd be honored Mr. Tsukino, Vivien has told me a lot about your contributions to the society and I admire you" Hiroaki comments.
"You flatter me Mr. Aido now may we get going?" He asks.
"But of course… may I offer my carriage?" Hiroaki asks.
"It's okay; Vivien and I like to walk to the clinic" Father Responds.
"Oh but father, won't Max be walking with us?" I ask.
"He says he'll come to work later, I told him it was okay since he'll be with Rosalie. They still have things to arrange for the wedding"
"Okay, well shall we get going?" I ask.


As Kaname was in the living room, playing Vivien's melody on the violin, Ken walks in.

"Is that a new piece lord Kuran?" He asks.
"Yes it is Ken" Kaname responds.
"I was wondering if you've seen Hiroaki, he left early this morning" Ken informs Kaname. The least thing he wanted to hear was Hiroaki's name. Despite him not committed anything wrong, Kaname wished him dead.
"He went to visit Vivien Tsukino, I'm sure you are familiar with her" Kaname says. Though he did not know Vivien personally, he disliked her. He disliked her because he felt that she would bring his cousin nothing but trouble.
"I am… May I ask Lord Kuran, are you interested in that mortal as well?" Ken dares himself to ask.
"You are not one to ask me anything Ken, now has Zero given you any news on Kyrie?" He snaps, making Ken regret asking.
"No Lord Kuran, but I will let you know at once if he does"
"You may leave Ken" Kaname says coldly. When Ken leaves, Kaname throws the violin at the burning fire, along with the music sheet. He couldn't believe the jealousy he was feeling at the moment. Hiroaki also wanted her heart, and there was nothing Kaname could do to prevent him from seeing her.
"Lord Kuran… is everything well?" Takashi says as he runs into the living room. Instead of answering, Kaname storms out the living room and heads outside. Takashi follows him…
"Lord Kuran I have never seen you so furious, tell me what's wrong" Takashi asks. Kaname stops walking and turns his gaze towards Takashi.
"This is something stronger than me… I cannot help but feel this great joy and sadness within my heart" He responds.
"It's the mortal am I not correct?" Takashi mumbles.
"Yes, I am breaking my own rules I know, Vivien is forbidden to me, yet I cannot bare being away from her" Takashi spoke harsh words yesterday with Hiroaki and Rowena, but seeing his Lord like this made him realize that this was more than simple lust. This was far more than that…
"Lord Kuran I am not one to judge, and whatever choice you make, know that I will be faithful to you always" He lightly bows.
"I thank you Ichijo" He responds.
"Are you to see the mortal today?"
"I must, Hiroaki doesn't know that Mr. Kobayashi still has his eyes set on Vivien, Kyrie must have brought back his memory" Before Takashi could speak, Kaname disappears.


"Well what do you think? Nothing fancy I know but we manage" My father says to Hiroaki. Hiroaki walks around the clinic and analyzes it.
"It's very welcoming for a clinic; it doesn't need to be fancy" Hiroaki comments.
"I'm glad you like it Hiroaki" I say.
"You're welcome here anytime Mr. Aido" My father adds.
"Please Mr. Tsukino… call me Hiroaki" He lightly chuckles. Suddenly an injured man barges into the clinic.
"Please help me…" He pleads, collapsing to the floor.
"Vivien stay away from him" Hiroaki says.
"But Hiroaki the poor man is ill" I said. I walk up to the injured man and suddenly he turns his gaze towards me. I jump when I see the weird color in his eyes.
"Why are his eyes red?" I ask nervously. Father pulls me by my arm closer to him. Suddenly the front door slams shut. I hug my father in fear…
