Chapter Three

Senri's Point of View

Senri, was related to the Kurans. His father, Rido Kuran, who Senri never honored, or paid mind to. He had killed his Lord's parents. Jurri and Haruka Kuran were benevolent Purebloods. It was a sad day, noticing the changes that his cousin, Kaname, had gone through. Senri hated who his father was and he never thought, he would see him again.

Through the years, Kaname had changed what Aristocrats believed. HIs Lord Kaname had created a place where vampires could peacefully exist with humans. The vampire world was in distress, never believing that humans could coexist with vampires. But, it was because of his Lord, that he was here today. Living among humans, and for once in his dull, immortal life, that he believed his past wouldn't be a problem. That he could achieve new goals, and dreams. But even he knew that dreams were just dreams, and no matter how hard he wished. It would always come crashing down.

The Aidou family was holding a gathering, all vampires of high blood were invited. Even high-paying celebrities, to famous politicians were invited. Including Senri's uncle, and mother. Senri hated parties only going for Rima's benefit. He loved Rima, and would do anything for her. Rima and him had become professional models, so a party for them was only a bore, and only came for the food. He chuckled, and that was when he saw his Uncle, and his loyal followers of the clan.

"Senri, you should stop by your Mothers. She's been asking for weeks for you to return home."

"Yes, Uncle." Senri said. While, popping a piece of candy that Rima had given him, before the party. After, a few rather short conversations with other family members, and his Lord. Senri, had headed out and said to Rima, that he would return to Cross Academy the next night. Rima, had looked at him with eyes of worry. Worry, that Senri had resolved with a chaste-kiss upon her red lips.

Senri, had entered his mom's home, followed by his Uncle and his loyal followers. Giving his mother a hug, as she curled up to him into his neck. Commenting on how he was the spinning image of his father, which Senri cringed at. After, spending time with his mother, he had followed his uncle down to the lower half of the estate. Going down levels upon levels of stairs, he stopped. There laid a coffin in-front of him, as a little boy around the age of six sat. Senri, had noticed that this child was a vampire, his eyes glowing half blue, and red. The same as his father's, as the boy fainted and instantly a hand came forward and now Senri couldn't see anything. His mind wasn't his anymore, but his mind was Rido Kurans.

Yuki's Point of View

Numbers seemed to go from one end of her head to the other. Sitting in class listening to her new teacher's lesson, Yuki was stunned that her new teacher, was Zero's formal mentor. His name was Yaguri, and he was a vampire hunter, he knew of Zero's dark past. A past that intertwined with her own. How Yuki's maddened Aunt had murdered his whole family and tortured Zero's twin brother, all because she couldn't marry a mortal, that loved her. How Shizuka, was also connected to my psychotic Uncle, who had killed both of her parents. Everything in her life was connected, Yuki didn't like it, not one bit.

Yuki was just about to dose off, when Zero abruptly walked out. Yuki followed, saying that Zero was just tired due to their Guardian business. Yuki, was only a few feet away from him, but Yuki noticed what was really effecting him to act like this.

His status as a level-E vampire, Shizuka had bit him. Only a bite from a Pureblood, would create another vampire. But, Zero hadn't even took a sip of her blood, therefore, his slow process to the lowest class of the vampire race. His eyes had glowed red with lust and hunger, flashes of that Red night spiraling in and out of focus. Yuki thought, 'if my brother knew' Yuki closed her eyes, and before she could utter a single word Zero had bit savagely into her neck.

Yuki cringed, but didn't make any sort of whimper, at the raw force Zero was drinking from her. If Zero only knew her past, he would be spitting out her life's blood. If Kaname knew, he would feel betrayal. Yuki loved her brother. Wishing that every moment was with him. Yuki knew what Kaname was planning, she was two-steps ahead every time Kaname made a move. That's why she had him have full-reign over her. She knew that both she and Kaname couldn't defeat her Uncle by themselves, they needed help. No matter, how hard it was to ask out right for other's help.

Zero looked at Yuki, regretting what he had done to her. He couldn't see fear in her eyes, her blood always asking for Kanames'. Instead of his. He was angered, but held down the part of him that hungered for more of her blood. Yuki covered her neck with her hand, and looked at Zero thoughtfully in his eyes. Zero looked down towards the floor, and sidestepped Yuki and continued down the hallway. Leaving an all- knowing Yuki behind, as Yuki went down the other.

Stopping by her dorm room, and stopping in-front of her mirror. Taking out a band-aide from behind her mirror. Cleaning the wound first, then covered it, she knew what she was doing. As she noticed, the tips of her hair had blood on them. She just hoped that it worked, and it wasn't for nothing. Yuki knew that Zero will become to hate her despite all she did to try and help him move on from his past. She knew that Kaname was planning something huge, and she would be two-steps ahead. She finished cleaning the tips of her hair, and walked out of her bathroom.

And walking out of her dorm room, and stepping into the hallway she stopped. In-front of her stood her brother. Wearing his usual white- uniform, and looked rather attractive and the spinning image of their father. As he walked towards Yuki, as her heart pumped at an alarming rate. Yuki knew that she betraying him, but she couldn't run to him. No matter, how hard she wanted, and she wanted him to know that she knew. But this was for the best. At least she hoped it was.

Kaname sauntered towards his sister, who was completely oblivious towards their relation between each other. Kaname could hear the increase of her pumping heart, wishing that he could turn her, after all these years he needed his sister back. He could smell her delectable blood, fresh and just spilt. She tried to hide it from him, which worried him. This wasn't like Yuki, Kaname knew his sister inside and out, and it wasn't like her to hide things from him.

"Yuki, what are you doing?"

"I should be asking you the same Kaname." Kaname narrowed his eyes, and replied.

"I had some free time. Even though it's during the daytime, I had the sudden rush to see you." Kaname instantly wrapped his arms around her. Noticing the tips of her hair, and the bandage that had recently been added. "Why are the tips of your hair, wet, Yuki?" Kaname, noticed the missed beat of her heart signifying a secret that Yuki didn't want him to know.

Kaname didn't fault her for her secrets, Yuki could end up betraying him, and he would still love her, since the day she was born into the precious, Kuran family.

"Oh… Well, during class I sort of nicked my neck with something sharp, so that's why I was in my dorm room, applying a patch." Kaname, could obviously detect that her explanation was false, but overlooked it, and replied," Well, Yuki I hope you feel better. I always worry for you well-being."

Yuki blushed, she knew her brother was a charmer. Remembering, how her Mother and Father would always play with each other to get a blush out of her Mother. Her Father thought it was hilarious, when Mother would go red all over the face. She wanted to kiss him in this moment, thinking that if she was still Pureblood, that this situation would be completely different, and that this school would probably be still a dream.

"I saw Zero earlier, hopefully his hunger for blood is being controlled. Even if he is tamed by the bracelet around your wrist that, Headmaster Cross gave you, I wouldn't want him to transfer over to the night class. Since it's my dear Yuki's wish to have him remain in Day class. Yuki, you should know if Zero does anything. I mean anything that gets you hurt, or anyone of the day class hurt; I will have no choice, but to transfer him."

Yuki nodded, as a vampire instantly appeared from behind Kaname. "Seiran, what's the matter." Kaname asked. All emotion replaced with indifference. Yuki knew that face, and whatever Seiran had to say probably wouldn't be good.

"It seems that he is awake." Kaname's form went from relaxed to rigid.

Looking, down to his sister's worried eyes, he excused himself away from her. Kaname had kissed her forehead, and said a gentle good-bye and would see her later tonight. Promising her to talk more. Yuki agreed and nodded in understanding. Since she literally understood what Seiran had said. By him, she meant Rido. Zero wasn't ready yet, she knew, but soon he would be.

Knowing for a fact, that Shizuka would be on her way to the Academy. Thanks to spending time with her adoptive father, he had let it leak that another night class student would be joining Cross Academy. She had looked at the papers and instantly knew that it was her Aunt. She hid her reactions relatively well, and hadn't had any suspicions arouse around her. Thanking whatever gods around her for letting her keep her secrets hidden, and on the down low.

The game pieces were set. All there was to do was wait for the inevitable to happen. Yuki wasn't worried, no. She was excited now more than ever. At last, her parents would be avenged, for what her Uncle did. Yuki knew she was slowly turning back into her Pureblood status, by the many visions of blood that had scared her at the beginning. It seemed like all she ever knew was blood, and no matter how many times she might not want to have this life. Yuki had no choice or say in the matter. She would help her brother, even if it meant keeping secrets from him. He was doing it to her, so she thought,

'Game on."

Rima's Point of View

Rima had laid down on the couch in the center of the Moon Dormitory. She worried about Senri, how he always let his guard down, and was easily pushed around by his many family members. He needed to trust himself more, and learn to enjoy his life. Rima closed her eyes, enjoying the peace and quiet that the dorm provided.

Suddenly, the double doors of the dorm opened. Letting in the cool draft of iced air and little flurries of snow. It had been a surprise, when her friends informed her that it would be snowing, and Rima hated anything that had included any type of wet substance that fell from the sky. Since she could control lightening, an extra power, that all Aristocratic vampires possessed. Rima had peaked under her arm, and noticed that Senri was there. She was surprised to see him there, remembering that Senri said that he would return the night of tomorrow.

"Senri, is that you?" Rima took a couple steps closer, but she stopped noticing his eyes were of different origin. Glowing red and blue, she added, "You're not Senri, so who are you?"

Senri smirked and was slowly walking towards Rima. Every bone in her body went cold, and the only thought that ran through her mind was, 'What happened Senri?'
