Author's Note: So, I'm terribly sorry for not updating Red Night for such a long time. Truly, I had lost interest with the Vampire Knight fandom and had no idea where I wanted to take this story. But, I've been watching the anime once again and have the fortunate luck of reuniting with my muse for the story. So I should be updating soon. As you can see I've updated and I'm planning on going a different direction than the anime and manga. Since, as of last chapter this is not following cannon. On a different note though, don't forget to favorite and follow and leave a comment/ review at the bottom. Truly, I can't express my general gratitude for all of the attention that Red Night has gotten. So, I want to thank each one of you from the bottom of my heart. Thanks, again and hope you enjoy this chapter.

Chapter Five
Previously on Red Night…
"We'll see about that." His eyes left Shizuka's only to be met with Yuki's. "You look so much like Jurri. I will have you one day." Rido exited the classroom. Stopping beside Kaname for a moment and proceeding on his way.
"We'll Yuki looks like you have some explaining to do." Maria chided.
"Looks like you too, Maria. Or, should I call you by your real name? Shizuka Hio?" Kaname elegantly countered.

-Third Person-
The tension within the air was difficult for Yuki to breathe in. She struggled against Shizuka's grasp on her arm.
"Please, Maria. Let me go!"
"I think I like holding onto you, Yuki." Her penetrating eyes sent cold chills down her spine. Yet, the firm grasp of Shizuka's cold hands were instantly replaced by Kaname's.
"She has nothing to do with this. So, I will ask you nicely to leave her out of it."
"Of course, Dorm President Kuran. Though…it's curious as to what Rido previously mentioned. This girl…" Shizuka eyed Yuki and continued, "Is something to watch out for."
"I can assure you. Yuki is nothing special."
Yuki could hear the utter lie escape from her brother's enticing lips. It made her mad that she couldn't rescue herself or counter back to Shizuka, or even Rido the estranged Uncle that she had been looking forward to killing in revenge of her beloved parent's deaths.
"I will be staying close by." The night class transfer student expressed. "Zero, come. You and I need to catch up."
"Wai-"Yuki wanted to reach out to Zero, yet Kaname laid a finger to her mouth, along with the harshness of the slamming door. Yuki's shoulder slumped in exhaustion.
"Yuki, I'm sure you must be tired. So I'll accompany you to the Day class dorm."
Brunette curls glisten in the moonlight. Warm chocolate eyes blink once than twice. Soft patters along the cement of walking footsteps, and the gentle creaks of the night's white noise blended into the chilled night.
Why couldn't she be a vampire, already? Distorted images swirl within her mind like a dance she had long forgotten. Her day-class uniform bellowed in the midnight wind. However, Yuki wasn't bothered by the night chill, or the darkness that clouded over the sky. Images more like repressed memories from the time her parents' deaths resurfaced.
She clutched her head. A pain-like jolt rushed through her head. Making her falter in step. Before she could meet the ground Kaname had balanced her, holding her within his strong embrace.
"Yuki, are you alright? Yuki?"
Her hands clutched the ends of his white, night class coat. She pulled herself in deeper, letting go of his coat and wrapping both arms around him. She wanted to cry, so that's what she did. Knowing full-well Kaname wouldn't fault her for being weak, for being a coward in the midst of all this turmoil. She was supposed to be playing the fragile human part, after all. Although, she was a bit tired acting and being strong all the time.
"Yuki. I'm sorry for all the pain I'm causing you." She heard his elegant voice express. She wanted to say something in return.
She then felt a calming feeling drifting slowly into her body. The feeling of numbness and comfort overloaded her thoughts, until her brown eyes slowly to drift closed.
She felt slick arms around her body, her head meeting a hard surface. Then all she knew was blackness.
"Yuki." An angelic voiced murmured. Awakening her small eyes to open and gaze upon a beautiful women. "My dear, Yuki it's time to wake up."
"Mother." The beautiful Jurri smiled at her cute sleepy daughter. "You do know what today is don't you?" Knowing full-well that Yuki wouldn't forget this day.
"It's brother's birthday!" Yuki joyfully cheered. Rushing to get ready for her brother's special day.
"Happy Birthday, Brother Kaname." Yuki happily expressed running into her brother's room without knocking. Immediately going in for a hug. "Thank you, Yuki." She liked it when he did this. It had a calming effect whenever Yuki felt his tender fingers brushing through her hair. She smiled into his shirt.
"Yuki, you must knock before you enter your brother's room." Jurri reminded her daughter. Although, she couldn't fault Yuki. Yuki loved her brother. "Happy Birthday, son." A male voice muttered. "Thank you, Haruka." Kaname returned.
"Father!"
"My precious princess. Daddy loves you."
"I love you too."
"So what shall we do today?" Haruka happily expressed.
She didn't know she was crying when she awoke from her dream. Maybe, it was because it was the first time in forever since she had a dream about her parents. With all the stuff that happened earlier she was surprised that more memories didn't tackle her head on. She was happy for the happy memory. It made her able to bear all the turmoil that her life would soon take on.
She sighed and got dressed for the day. Having a feeling that it would be a long one.
