As Charles and Mr. Tsukino slept, Hiroaki couldn't help but gaze at them, especially at Vivien's son, Charles.

"Thinking about Vivien, am I not correct…?" Ken said, breaking his thoughts.
"I am… I swore to Vivien that I would protect them at all costs. But I'm afraid I'll fail her and lord Kuran" Hiroaki responds, turning his gaze away from Ken.
"You're doing all that you can my cousin, and I am sure both Vivien and lord Kuran know of this…" Ken answers, lightly patting Hiroaki on the shoulder.
"As soon as we get to the palace, we must take Mr. Tsukino else place, you know mortals are easily detected among us vampires…" Hiroaki says, changing the subject.
"What about Charles…?" Ken asked.
"As long as no one notices he is a Kuran, everything should be fine…" Hiroaki replies.
"Hiroaki… I just remembered something…" Ken interrupts.
"What did you remember…?" Hiroaki asked in concern.
"Remember that woman that was bitten not to long ago, well I have a pretty good idea on who our victims predator was…" Ken answered. Hiroaki looks at Ken, and then looks back at Charles and Mr. Tsukino.
"Max…" Hiroaki whispered in anger.


"You're adapting quite rapidly to your new life Max… or should I say Alexander…" Kyrie chuckles. Chuckling, Alexander drinks off the neck of his victim, who pleaded him to let her go.
"Please leave me be…" She mumbled.
"I would darling…" He chuckles, lightly stroking his victim's hair of her chest. "But I have needs…" He mumbles, licking the blood off her neck.
"Poor little dame… she reminds me of someone, someone I haven't seen in a while, don't you think so Alexander?" Kyrie says in a teasing tone.
"Oh you just love playing games don't you Kyrie ol' boy" Alexander says in a serious tone, throwing his victim to the ground.
"I let you have you're little fun, now its time to get serious… if you want to win her from him that is" Kyrie snaps, grabbing Alexander from his throat in a tight grip.
"Don't interrupt me when I'm having my dinner Kyrie…" Alexander mutters with anger. A small smile forms on Kyrie's face,
"Standing up to me huh…? I respect that, but just know this, if you keep on acting this idiotic, I wont be the one to squeeze that throat of yours" Kyrie chuckles.
"Don't worry Kyrie… I have a plan that I'm sure won't fail, you'll have the throne, and I'll have Vivien by my side" Alexander responds.


"My prince… I'm frightened for you" Vivien suddenly says, pulling Kaname into a tight embrace. It had been nothing but silence throughout the remaining hours. Nothing could match the happiness she felt when being in his arms, yet… the feeling of fear would always wrap around it.
"You have nothing to fear my princess… I will always be here" He softly whispered, softly caressing her neck with the palm of his hand.
"You, and Charles alike mean the world to me, and I would go mad if something would happen to either of you…" Vivien responded, as tears fell down her cheeks.
"I sometimes underestimate you my princess… here you are, worrying about me, when I should be the one asking you for forgiveness" Kaname responds, kissing the tears from her cheeks.
"Why do you say that Kaname…?" She asked, confused by his words.
"I've put your life in danger from the very beginning, I've always known this, yet… my love for you blinds me…"
"Kaname…"
"I've broken my own rules, and because of this, I have set other people in danger as well…" Kaname whispered, pulling her in a tighter embrace.
"Do you regret loving me Kaname…?" She asked.
"Never that… you're the most beautiful thing that's ever happened to me, yet… I put you and so many others in danger…" Kaname responds.
"What's meant to be will be my love…" Vivien mutters, looking at the carriage window. Suddenly, the carriage stops.
"Lord Kuran… we have arrived…" The driver announced, opening the carriage door.
"Do you think they have arrived yet…?" Vivien asked, eager to see if Hiroaki had arrived with her son and father.
"I doubt it… but you know what to do when they do arrive" Kaname whispers in her ear. Vivien nods in agreement.


"Ruka… Ruka, are you alright…?" Ruka slowly opens her eyes and finds herself in her room. She turns her gaze to see Lady Yuri sitting next to her.
"My lady… what happened…?" Ruka stuttered.
"You and I were having a conversation, about my brother, when you suddenly fainted… I'm guessing you haven't been feeding enough lately…?" Yuri responds with concern.
"I guess so… but I don't remember anything my lady…" Ruka says as she tries to get up from bed.
"Don't get up my darling; you need your rest…" Yuri quickly responds. Suddenly, Rowena walks into the room.
"Lady Yuri…" She whispers cautiously. She looks at Ruka who was awake, and smiles.
"Yes Rowena…?" Yuri asked.
"Lord Kuran has just arrived…" Rowena happily announces.
"Oh wonderful… I can't wait to see my brother…" Yuri says.

"Finally… he's back, and surely he has that mortal girl with him…"
