Chapter 11

~ X ~

The road vibrated as the black car traveled against the road as the sun began to set and the night began to rise. The two bodies remained quiet as the male drove and the female held a box in her lap quietly observing the road ahead of them.

The silver haired male gave the young woman a side glance as he turned around the corner continuing their drive to his adoptive father's home to have dinner as per usual every month.

Zero had been avoiding going over to the headmaster's home since Sayuri began living with him.

He wanted to keep her away from the male Kuran heir since he had noticed the male pureblood interest in the girl the last time he was at Kaien's home.

"Do you think they will like it?" She whispered lightly, this evening was very important to her, she would be meeting the people who were important to her care take known as President Kiryuu. She would also be in private of the Kuran pureblood family.

She must remain proper and polite in front of the Asian pureblood monarchs.

Tonight was important to the man sitting beside her.

"Don't worry yourself the Headmaster gets excited about everything." He answered her question as the car slowly came towards a home with two other cars parked in front of it a black limousine with a driver standing outside meant the Kuran family had already arrived and the other grey car indicated both Toga and Kaito had arrived as well.

Zero could see the light panic in Sayuri's eyes as she said "we are late"

As Zero stepped out of the car he walked towards the other side to open the door for Sayuri as she stepped out he noticed the light make up she was wearing with the extended eyelashes from the mascara to the pink lip-gloss on her lips.

"Thank you" as he took her hand into his own he could feel that light tingle he had felt a few days prior before Valentine's Day.

His mind wondering back to the day he had told her what they would have to do tonight to keep her safe and too many eyes were wondering about the young woman's presence in the infamous President Kiryuu's home.

He stopped his mind from wondering they walked up to the door as she held the box in one hand and the other in the male's hand feeling safe and assured as he stood beside her.

As he opened the door Zero could already smell the headmaster's cooking as well as the voices speaking and before it was too late for any harm to come to anyone he catched the bundle coming straight towards him.

"Zero-ji-san" Ai smiled brightly being a bit bigger now as the silver haired male smiled greeting the young child in his arm.

Sayuri smiled at the innocent scene in front of her, if she remembered correctly the child in Zero's arms was the daughter of the Kuran monarchs of Asia.

"Zero your late again" A bright voice came from around the corner as it had a slight scolding tone to it.

Sayuri observed as the female pureblood looked at the silver haired male, watching as his eyes softened as it fell on the young female pureblood.

"Oh Zero you're here my beloved son" The headmaster came beaming in the foyer as his eyes fell on the young woman beside Association President.

"Lady Ikeda, what a surprise" He looked at Zero a bit startled it was the first time his son had ever brought company with him and a female one at that.

"I..ugh…I made a cake for dessert" She extended her arms holding the box with a slight rosiness on her cheeks.

Zero did not want to say anything but simply observed as the young female gave his adoptive father the cake she had made earlier in the day well it was one cake she had made out of several since she was too nervous about this dinner she kept making mistakes with the cake's decoration.

"Yuuki" the male Kuran was calling for his wife as she excused herself.

"Come" He used his free hand that was not holding the Kuran Princess as he guided the young woman with his hand placed on her lower back.

He watched as Yuuki took a seat beside her brother and Toga sitting on one of the table end's and Kaito about to take his own seat.

"Ai its time to go with Seiren" Yuuki spoke has her daughter wiggled out of the silver haired male arm's and ran out the room.

"Well this is a first Zero bringing company" Kaito commented

Zero ignored his childhood friend and pulled the chair out for Sayuri, as she sat down he pushed her chair in being a gentlemen.

Kaname Kuran watched as young blonde haired female sat beside the male hunter not speaking a word yet. He recognized her from the soirée as well as somewhere else but he could not put his finger on it.

Where had he met her before?

As her eyes moved making contact with the male Kuran her golden eyes boring into his soul the recollection of the same sensation so many years ago reminded him once more where he had met her.

Well…well… Lord Del Luca you have hidden her well.

"Your being rude Zero you should introduce your …."

"Girlfriend" Zero stated without a second thought as the male pureblood seemed a bit a taken back like everyone else around the table.

"Girlfriend?" Kaien asked a bit shocked as he placed the baked ham onto the dining table.

A rosy hue adored the girl's cheek beside him, as the silver haired hunter continued speaking.

"Yes, Sayuri and I have been in a relationship for the past months." Toga was the most surprised as his ex-apprentice spoke about Councilor Ikeda's daughter, even addressing the young woman by her first name in public.

"Well congratulations are in order then" Kaien smiled brightly to the new found couple.

The footsteps of a hurried clicking sound filled the mansion as the woman with dark blue hair past her knees made her way towards her husband's office.

She slammed the door open as the servants that were coming moved and went into the opposite direction.

"YOU LIED!" She stood there furious her dark orbs glaring into the man's soul cursing him to his death.

"Lower your voice, my son is asleep" The dark haired man hissed threatening her, they were both pureblood's but this man was on a completely different level.

"What do you want woman" his dark blue eyes bore into her own as he lifted his eyes from the paper work he had been looking at.

"I am your wife! Show me the respect that belongs to my title husband" she was ready for a fight because she had enough she had given him her all and he just used her and threw her away.

As he rose from his seat she could feel the chill running down her spine as the room's air became thin and ice cold.

"You seem to be confused cousin, do not presume that because you are my wife I hold you to that status" He came awfully close to her entrapping her as his powers shut the door behind her.

"Do not believe me ignorant and a fool in love, that I am not aware of who you have been speaking too." He took her chin in his hand gripping it so tightly it was hard for the woman to breath.

"I am not blind to your attempts to kill Sayuri." His nails dug into her cheeks making her bleed, "The only reason you are alive is because of my son, Clara" as her blood turned his hand red his eyes turned from their dark royal blue into the bright red making the woman more terrified she had chosen the wrong time to address him.

Her eyes spilled with tears as she spoke, "All I wanted was your love Leon"

The dark hair male pureblood became irritated with her nonsense of her feelings towards him. He removed his claws from her face walking back towards his desk.

The dark haired female was about to step out of her husband's office but the male pureblood spoke once more.

"Clara do give Kaname Kuran my regards"

He had known, Leon knew all this time.

As Clara left the dark haired male to himself, his eyes moved towards the picture on his desk of himself holding a young child in his arms. A bright smile on her face as she wrapped her arms around him her golden eyes shining brightly as the sun.

Leon took the frame into his hands rubbing his thumb over the young girl's face his little sunshine, his light within his darkness.

He raised the frame towards his face placing a gentle kiss as he took a seat within his chair whispering as he spoke, "My beloved light, my beloved Sayuri"

Sayuri felt a bit unconformable during the dinner with the male pureblood gaze upon her. She tried to continue to eat her serving of a piece of chocolate ganache cake.

As his eyes fell upon her once more she could not help but to reach for safety.

Zero said nothing as he noticed Kaname's gaze upon Sayuri well everyone was looking at her since he made the announcement of them being in a relationship. Yuuki spoke the most with his adoptive father asking her questions and telling her stories about himself.

But he watched silently as she ate the cake Kaien had served which was the cake she made for the dinner tonight.

He felt an odd sensation take over him as he felt something gripping his leg. His lavender eyes moved from the table down towards his leg. Sayuri had placed her hand upon his leg extremely close to his waist, he wanted to ask her what she was doing but her grip tightened and shaked at the same time. Zero looked up to see Kaname Kuran starring at her.

"Why do you keep starring at Sayuri, Kaname?" Yuuki asked, it wasn't even a half an hour into the dinner and Sayuri had informed everyone they could address her by her first name.

"I believe we have meet before the soirée" his eyes watching observing if her body would do something but it did not giving him any indication of her memories of their first meeting.

"Oh did you meet her before Kaname-kun?" Kaien asked the question was intended to be light and casual but it was much worse when a question like that was directed towards the male pureblood.

"I could not seem to remember earlier in the evening but now…" Kaname hesitated and watched as her golden eyes looked at him directly.

"I believe we have met during my stay in the Del Luca mansion." Sayuri felt this odd sensation crawl up on her something she did not like.

Zero tried to ensure Sayuri that she was safe there was nothing to be worried about he even placed his own hand upon her own but she did not even notice his touch.

"You must have me mistaken for someone else Lord Kuran" she tried to play ignorant and unaware but as she kept her eyes on him she could not help herself from remembering that night so long ago.

"No, I can never forget such a pretty face as yours lady Sayuri. I am sure of it you are Lord Del Luca's beloved light as he called you."

"Kuran enough" Zero spoke in a defensive tone

"The human girl, he had changed."

As they entered their home Zero helped Sayuri take off her coat but she remained silent as she took off her shoes. Since their departure from the headmaster's home she had not said a word, she looked like a lifeless doll walking without meaning.

He was going to help her but she entered her room and the silver haired hunter believed it would be best to leave her be for the night.

As Zero entered his room he slowly began to undress when he took off his shirt a light knocking sound was made on his room door.

Before he could even say anything the door opened to reveal Sayuri standing there in the doorway soaked in a white towel wrapped around her form as she held it to her chest tightly her golden eyes did not have that glow to them that she always carried.

"Zero-san may I….stay with you tonight?"
