Setsuna huffed as she prance across the Kuran halls, turning her head every once and then. The portraits of the Kuran ancestor poured into her view. Usually, she would have admired every one of them slowly, but today, she was too irritated to stop. In anger, she yank open the door of her husband's office, "disrespectful child..." she muttered.

Originally, she had plan to have a nice long chat with Kaname, explaining the hardship of being a king. And, what happens? He started making nasty comments. She walked up to the burgundy desk, eyeing the paperwork that needs to be done. She ran her hand through the papers. Suddenly, she narrowed her eyes when a paper captured her interest. She gasped after reading it, and bared her fangs. She threw down the papers harshly. Surprisingly she couldn't sense nor see her husband anywhere...

She sighed as she realized that her husband is at another council meeting, meaning; he isn't home. Closing the large doors, "how sweet..." She mumbled bitterly. The maids whisperings stopped as they passed by the angry pureblood. Setsuna curled her finger, telling them to come. The maids ran to her and curtsied. "Clean up the mess in.." Pausing, "His majesty's room." She ordered. They nodded and scurried away.

"Kaname..."

Kaname was laying on the sofa, his left leg dangling, his arm over his head.

"King.." he whispered as he thought of what his mother told him. He was not a person to blow out a his mother every time they talked, but he couldn't help but to feel annoyed at her constant smile. Her smile made her appear weak.

He got up and walked to the balcony. Admiring the outside's landscape. The sky was still dark, of course; it was midnight after all. Staring down, he saw something, no, someone.

He knitted his eyebrows together, there appears a girl. She was nervously turning her head, finally looking up for once, she realized that he was staring at her. It wasn't sure to him if she is a vampire or not. She is masking her presence. Kaname was sure he saw her cheeks turn crimson. The female quickly walked away. He scratched the glass as she disappeared from his view.

"Interesting..."

Sadly, even as a vampire, and one of high class: she still manages to get lost. Yuuki stared at her unfamiliar surrounding. There was a huge mansion in front of her, and she wasn't sure what to do. She sensed that there were purebloods in the mansion and felt glad that she knows how to mask her presence.

She puffed her cheeks in a not-so-elegant way. She brought her hand to her mouth, sucking it lightly. It was something she always do when she is scare and nervous. She walked around, hoping she wouldn't be seen. She wondered how big this mansion is. Because, no matter which direction she turn, the mansion always seems to be in front of her.

Yuuki came to a halt when she saw the red roses which decorated the mansion's garden.

"How pretty..." She whispered to herself. As she was about to lean in for a closer look, she heard chatters. Quickly, she hide behind the huge tree in front of her.

She peeked out as she saw several Level C vampires walked in groups. Judging by their attire, she inferred that they were the maids. "Do you know? It was a rumor that our prince, Kaname sama will..." The voice died down, she could hear footsteps turning away. She walked out from her hiding spot and cocked her head to one side in curiosity.

She indeed heard of Kuran Kaname, he was the son of Kuran Kurou, who is the current monarch of the vampire race, and Kuran Setsuna. They were a the most powerful pureblood family, reason why the monarchy was in their hands. But, she wondered what are they talking about? Suddenly, she became nervous, realizing that this mansion belongs to the Kurans. She turned her head in all directions, checking if anybody is lurking around. She was about to look down, before realizing how stupid she was acting. But, again, purebloods are the highest rank vampires, it would make sense if one just appear below her. She blushed at this thought, because it would mean they can see her undergarments. Slightly disappointed that she was wearing a dress, a fluffy red one that is. It was rather cold out and she could feel her cold legs began to shiver.

Finally, she realized someone staring at her, looking up, she was meet looking at a inhumanly handsome vampire. She knew, from the strong aura omitting from him, he was a pureblood. The lights were off, well it did make sense; after all, they were vampires. She saw his piercing garnet eyes staring at her. His dark mahogany hair framing his perfect face. Wearing a silk sweater and black pants, he was unbelievably beautiful.

She realized her cheeks turning rogue as she scanned his handsome features. Then, she understood, he was Kuran Kaname. Embarrassed of being caught by the prince, she turned away. Walking away quickly. Now, she became worried. Really worried. Just where is she? Yes, she did know that she was near the Kuran territory, so her home is? Deciding it was useless, she ran with all her might. She thought of her parents, are they worrying now? They are probably ordering people to find her. This time, she is really frightened.

The scene before her was scary and different. Old trees surround the place, she felt trapped. It was dark, even with her vampire eyesight, she couldn't see much, it was thanks to the moon that she can see the trees.

Deciding whether she should just run back to the Kuran mansion and ask them to let her stay there for the night or continue walking. Both paths seems to be frightening, purebloods are even more dangerous than some old trees. She gathered her courage and continued walking.

Just how did she got here? That time, she was too happy being able to go outside; she wasn't aware of her surroundings. And now, she is lost... Pouting, she knew she was too big of a chicken. She flopped down on the ground, not caring if her dress was going to get dirtier. Maybe she should just wait...

"Oh please, Hanabusa! You are saying that Yuuki sama is here?" A pink hair girl screeched. She sneered at the blond hair boy, who was frowning.

"Who knows... Yuuki sama is aways so fond of outside. She could be here... Besides, Ruka, even if we don't find her here, we will search another place!" The blond hair boy known as Hanabusa retorted. Ruka snorted, "Oh yeah? Well, I don't th-," before she can finish, a fiery hair boy stopped her by pushing them aside.

The boy seems wild and cool with his intense gaze. "Stop fighting. We got to focus on finding Yuuki sama." He remained as the neutral one, preventing any agues. Hanabusa sighed.

When they realized Yuuki sama was missing, they had freaked out. Promising Haruka and Juuri sama that they will find her. Now, they are just walking, everywhere, there are dead trees. Ruka, the elegant girl she is, manages to prevent her face from looking scared. And she was doing a good job, so is the boy with the fiery hair.

Hanabusa gulped, even though it was his choice to search here, he was a little freaked out. And he is shivering. Yes, and the mighty vampire he claim he is... "This is pointless..." Ruka murmured, sighing. Hanabusa narrowed his eyes, "just f-follow m-me.." He said.

"You're shaking."

"Stop!" he whined. Ruka rolled her eyes. "Akatsuki, aren't you scared?" Akatsuki shook his head.

"Wait- Isn't that Yuuki sama over there?" Akatsuki exclaimed. Hanabusa shot up, "where? Where?"

Ruka squinted, gasped, then rush over. Hanabusa and Akatsuki followed. "Yuuki sama!" she shook the other girl's shoulders. Yuuki stared at her, "ehh.. Ruka chan?"

Ruka embraced her, "I'm so glad I found you!" Yuuki hugged her back, "I was so scared..." she shivered.

Hanabusa twitched, "Ne.. Ruka... I'm the one who found Yuuki sama, it was me who told you to search here!" He stamped his foot. Akatsuki sighed. "Well, Yuuki sama. We have to bring you home."

Yuuki froze. She looked at her friends nervously.

"H-home?"
