To answer your question Scarlett, she does love both in a way... but nothing compares to her love for Matsu (Kaname). Lol... well who would you want Vivien to stay with?


"Why do you tell me such beautiful yet heartbreaking words?" I ask.
"Vivien… I don't mean to pressure you, or confuse you, but I just want you to know that my heart loves you, and I'll always be by your side, even if your love does not belong to me" He says.
"Hiroaki I do not wish to play with your heart, so I will tell you that I indeed love Matsu, yet some place in my heart, I wish that you would be the keeper of my heart"
"Don't say things you don't mean"
"Aren't you listening to my words? I mean everything I'm saying right now. You've been there for me since day one, and you've giving my life a beautiful light. A light that I will always be thankful for" I tip toe and lightly kiss him on the lips.
"I know I am harming you by kissing you, yet I cannot help but do so" I whisper.
"Vivien knowing that I exist in your heart is all I ask. I do not ask for more" He says. Such sweet selfless words…
"Hiroaki you can be so childish yet so mature… you're one of a kind" I said with tears in my eyes.
"Why do you cry my sweet Vivien?" He asks as he kisses my tears away.
"I don't deserve your heart Hiroaki…"
"My Vivien enough talk, I just hope that my words of Lord Kuran will give you a different view towards him" He says.
"But why do you call him Lord… is he superior to you?" I ask, confused by his words.
"He's our king, the king of the undead he's known to most" I was shocked by his words.
"King of the vampires… so that's why he-"
"That's why he wishes to stay away from you, because he has many enemies, if they would know that he has affection towards you, they will do anything to not only put you, but your family in danger"
"Why didn't he tell me anything…?" I ask.
"I will not lie to you Vivien… yet I do not wish you to view Lord Kuran negatively. He is engaged to his sister, Yuri. To explain better he is a pureblood Vampire, and they marry within family"
"Sort of like the Pharaoh's in Egyptian times"
"It doesn't surprise me that you know your history" He chuckles.
"Well I don't like to brag but I love to read" I giggle.
"Silly Vivien…"
"So this means that Matsu… Kaname is set to marry?" I ask in sadness.
"Yes and he cannot break the engagement. If he would then chaos could occur… I tell you this so that you could understand Lord Kuran more"
"You're so selfless my Hiroaki… I don't deserve you indeed, nor I deserve Kaname's love" I said in sadness. I had acted cruel, immature and selfish. I was oblivious to everything, yet in a way, knew so much.


"Brother, why do you seem so different with me lately?" Yuri asks as they walk through the Garden of Hope. Kaname couldn't help but think of Vivien as they walked through the garden. This was the place where he confessed his love to her, where he first held her in his arms and kissed her. Oh, what a beautiful, tender moment it was. Yet Vivien's last words hurt him deeply. He understood that she did not know that he was not just any vampire, but the king of vampires. The most feared...the most envied. He only wanted to protect her, yet he was hurting her.
"Brother did you hear what I was saying?" She asks.
"Oh… I'm sorry I just-"
"Kaname… if you have something to tell me then just tell me" She says in a serious tone. How could he tell her that he fell in love with a mortal? Would she even accept such thing?
"I have nothing to tell you my Yuri" He lies.
"Kaname I know you well, if you have something to tell me then you must tell me before this thing goes any further" She says.
"Before what goes any further my dear...?" He asks.
"Our marriage Kaname, what else… I overheard some of our people talking. Rowena and Ken were talking about you and this mortal girl" She says.
"And you like to here other people's conversation?" I ask.
"Kaname don't try to turn the tables against me" She snaps.
"I'm not trying to do anything, I am only answering your question with another answer" I reply.
"If you are betraying me then answer me right now Kaname!" She snaps.
"Believe what you wish my dear sister" I respond.
"Kaname I do not want to be seen a fool among our people" She exclaims.
"You shouldn't be talking about something you know well of my dear" I said, leaving her in the garden. I didn't want to be cruel to Yuri, but if I had to, I will.


It was nighttime, Rosalie and Max were with their guests. Father was gleeful and talking to Max's mother while Max and Rosalie were talking to their friends. As for I, all I could think about were Hiroaki's words this afternoon. He opened my eyes, and despite my not wanting to hurt him or anybody I would do so in the end. All I wanted was to be good and righteous, but in the end I was bad.

"All that matters to me my Vivien, is your happiness"

Hiroaki's words filled my heart up with joy yet sorrow. Could I ever truly be happy? Will Kaname be determined to fight for our love? I knew the consequences I was running, but in a way… I would be willing to give my all for him.

"Vivien are you alright my dear, Dr. Lovett was talking to you and you did not respond" Rosalie says.
"I just need some fresh air… I apologize for being rude Dr. Lovett" I said.
"Please call me Laurence and you're not being rude Vivien, I understand you've been ill lately" He says with a smile.
"Thank you for being so understanding Dr… I mean Laurence" I said with a light smile. I walk upstairs and open the balcony doors. I look up at the beautiful moon and couldn't help but be reminded of him… Matsu, Kaname Kuran.

He is the king of beasts that everyone despises, fears and yet somehow without them admitting it, held deep respect for him. I never knew how empty my life really was until he appeared in it.

Through our conversations, his knowledge of the world, his love for life I feel deeply in love with him without realizing it. As each day passed by I found myself empty without him. I wanted him, I needed him. He was my everything and without him, I'd go mad.

How could I hope for though… that he'd love me truly? You Vivien… a mere human…?

Please don't make me love you unless you love me…

Suddenly, wind lightly flows on my cheek. It felt as if someone were cherishing my cheek with the palm of their hand. So lovingly... so affectionately, this felt very familiar to me. I close my eyes, and with a tear falling down my cheek I mumble…

"Kaname" I open my eyes and there he was.

"Vivien… I can't stay away from you another moment" He said with pain inflicted in his voice.
"Then why do you my love… this only makes me think that you don't love me the way I do you" He wraps his arms around my waist and mumbles in my ear,
"Don't ever doubt my love for you Vivien"
"But I have every reason… ever since you told me what you are, you've kept your distance, you are the king of vampires and I am nothing but a mere human Kaname"
"To most you may be a mere human, but to me-" He looks at me in the eyes and adds "you are everything… my everything" Tears of happiness flowed down my face.

"I'm yours Kaname… only yours. I love you" He lightly pulls me into a loving kiss.

"And I yours my love" He mumbles...
