My father calling me home from school was rare, so I was a little worried. However when I was told I would be attending the upcoming soiree with him, I became ecstatic.

"Yay!" I began jumping around. However my breasts were still a little sore from the earlier encounter with Zero so I had to stop.

"Meyome, you need to know that it is Kaname who is hosting the event. This means 9 times out of 10 Yuki will be there as well."

I lit up I'd finally be seeing my baby twin again.

"But you have to remember to stay composed even when you see her. Also you must be cautious; the vampire hunter's society will also be there over seeing the festivities."

"Okay," something was off; Papa gave off a very melancholy vibe. "Papa, is there something wrong?"

He chuckled, "You haven't called me 'Papa' since that day a year ago."

"Something is wrong. I can feel it."

"Don't worry; everything is going to be fine."

I didn't believe him, but I nodded anyway.

"Your tutor will go over the proper mannerisms for the soirees, afterwards you are to shower, and then the maids will help dress and groom you."

'Groom? What am I? A dog?'

My tutor showed me again ALL the mannerisms, bows how to hold my drink, we even went back over which utensils to use for which dish. Afterwards I was forcibly stripped by the maids, but they froze, their gaze fixed between my breasts, as well as at Zero's bite marks on my neck.

"What's wr-!" I was frozen, scared stiff. Because between my breasts, there was a very dark kiss mark.

'I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!' I screamed inside my head. However outside my head I played dumb. "How is there a bruise?!" I made sure I sounded scared.

"My lady did you fall?"

"No not that I can remember." I put my hand up to my mouth. "I don't know where this could have come from. Can we just not tell my father? He'll worry if he learns I have this big of a bruise."

"My lady are you sure you haven't been with any men?"

"Of course! There are a lot of men in my class! They're all very nice!" I played it off.

The maids brought me in for a hug, at the same time they cooed, "Of course you haven't, you're so innocent. Just be careful from now on."

"I'll try." I giggled.

"But what about those bitemarks? They're not your fathers."

"Well one of my friends nearly passed out, and he was out of blood tablets, so I gave him some until he could get some more."

Well next time my Lady, do not allow your friend to pierce your neck."

"Have him do your wrist, or just cut yourself and let him drink from the cut. So that no piercing is involved."

"I'll try, I'm sorry, I just freaked out in the spur of the moment."

They looked at each other, they seemed to believe it.

'Safe, at least for now.' I inwardly sighed.
