Pale lids slid open to expose a pair of sleepy brown- red eyes and a silent yawn fell from the girls full lips as she sat up, the sheets pooling around her waist as she ran her fingers through her long hair, pulling the tangled locks away from her face. She looked around the familiar room that belonged to her brother, searching for the owner of the room and sighed when she found that the only person in the room was herself. Yuki pulled the red silk sheets from her lower body, swinging her pale legs over the edge of the bed and stood up, her white nightdress falling to cover her knees. She walked over to pull the dark curtains open, squinting in the sudden light from the sun, indicating that it was still day. She sat down on the cushioned window seat, leaning the side of her face against the chilled glass as she waited for her eyes to adjust. She examined the school grounds in a failed attempt to find her fiance, her eyes narrowing at the sight of the Dorms that Maria was using, her memories going back to last night when she saw Kaname there. The brunette couldn't help but be suspicious of what was going on, she knew that her brother was hiding something from her, and she also knew that it had to be very important for him to keep it secret from even her. Her thoughts were interrupted as her eyes spotted a strange sight; Kiryuu Zero storming out of Maria's Dorm, his uniform stained in dry blood and his hair wild. She watched the prefect walk, the grass squishing under his violent steps as he took a shortcut through the small fields surrounding the school. From the corner of her eye Yuki could see a longer pile of silver hair, and she knew that a pair of gray eyes would be doing the same thing as her and the Pureblood could almost hear the giggling that was surely passing from Maria's lips.

Yuki was so wrapped up in her observations of the Hunter that she didn't notice the bedroom door opening and she was only brought back into awareness of her own surroundings when a arm snaked around her slim waist and a set of lips planted themselves against her ear and the familiar scent of her brother wafted through her nostrils, bringing along a sense of security along with the scent.

"You'll hurt your eyes sitting in the sun like that." Kaname whispered in her ear, his small breaths causing shivers to run through her.

"I couldn't sleep. Where have you been?" She asked, leaning into his embrace and a small smile graced her features as she heard him chuckle.

"I was getting you this." He nodded towards where a white box sat at the bottom of the bed, a cream bow tied elegantly at the top. He gave her a little push, encouraging her to open the package. Yuki stood up from her seat, giving Kaname a quick peck on his cheek before dancing excitedly towards the box, a full grin on her now child-like face. She stood at the foot of the bed, holding the two ends of the bow, pulling at them very lightly, as not to damage the soft fabric. She lifted the lid of the box and took out the white pieces of tissue paper, exposing a pile of white material. The tissue paper crinkled under her hands as she placed it on the bed so she could reach for the white item still left in the box, her fingers lightly grasped the top part and lifted it up, her hands holding it so gently as if it was something precious, the bottom of the white fabric fell down swiftly. The dress in her hands was beautiful, the silk fabric was long, designed to cover the back of her legs, but stopped at the knees at the front, it was long sleeved that flared out at the hands. Close- fitting, to hug all her curves but high at the chest to only show a small cleavage. The girl stared at the dress in awe, surprised that something so simple could be so stunning.

"I thought you could wear it to the dance tonight." Kaname said softly and Yuki looked to see her brother lounging casually on the window seat, his back pressed against the window with a small smile on his face as he watched her. The girl placed the dress over the bed carefully as not to wrinkle the material and, giving the dress a final glance, ran towards her brother, launching herself into his lap and wrapping her slim arms around his neck as she nuzzled her face into his shoulder.

"Thank you." She whispered as his fingers came to hook under her chin, lifting her face up to look in her eyes.

"Anything for you, my love." Kaname pressed his lips on hers, sliding his hand over the back of her neck, stroking the sensitive skin there, her arms tightened around her brothers shoulders, bringing their bodies closer as his free hand trailed down her arm and back again. Their lips moved together perfectly and the siblings breathing spiked as the kiss deepend more, his tongue running over his lips like an erotic dance, slipping it through her lips when they parted, enticing her own out to play. They pulled each other closer still, their arms molding around the other. Gasps exited the couples lips as the need for oxygen grew, eventually driving their lips apart, but their bodies never quit contact and the Pureblood male rested his forehead against his sisters, enjoying the out of focus gaze she was giving him.

"Yuki? Are you ready?" Kaname called, knocking on his sisters door lightly.

"Just a minute! I'm trying to find the perfect shoes." She replied, causing the male to laugh a little.

Knowing that his sister would be considerably longer then a minute, he decided to take a seat as he waited. He leaned across the armrest of the sofa, resting his chin on his palm as he closed his eyes.

The Pureblood was wearing his school uniform, the clothing clinging to his body immaculately with a red rose placed on his chest. His hair was in it's usual messy state, swinging down to his shoulders and clinging to his long face.

The door creaked open, soft taps hitting off the wooden floor as Yuki walked in the living room and Kaname's eyes slipped open, locating his lover and widened slightly at the sight of her. The dress fitted her perfectly, the silk bringing out the whiteness in her skin and his eyes slid down the dress where it stopped at her knees, exposing her milky legs which were partially concealed by the straps of her heeled shoes decorated by roses. The males intense gaze climbed up again, watching the few strands of hair that was visible against her arm as it curled slightly at the moment. The rest of her hair was pulled up in a loose bun, the ends of her long brown- red hair tickling against her neck that bore a simple chain with a rose pendant colored with red diamonds.

Kaname's eyes seemed to be glued on her as he rose from his seat and crossed the room towards her in just a few strides, capturing her lips with his own.

"You look beautiful." He whispered as he separated their mouths but wrapped an arm around her waist to keep her against him as his other hand stroked the blush at her cheeks, his thumb massaging her bottom lip gently.

Laughter and chatter echoed around the hall in different tones and pitches as the Kuran couple entered hand in hand, a huge smile on the females face as she walked alongside her brother and taking in the sight of everyone having fun. She was oblivious to the way heads turned to gawk at the couple, too wrapped up in concentrating on hearing the music over the sounds the students were making.

The Purebloods reached their friends who was sitting at one of the large round tables that was placed on the furthest side of the hall, and Kaname nodded towards Hanabusa in gratitude as the Noble moved to a seat next to his orange haired cousin so there would be enough room for the couple to sit beside each other. A chuckle came from Takuma as he looked over his best friends shoulder as they sat down, causing Yuki to look behind her in an attempt to find out what was so funny.

"Yuki- Chan looks so preety!" Kaien exclaimed as he ran over to the table of friends, narrowly avoiding collision with a group of Day students in his rush.

"Thank you, Chairman."

"It's Uncle! But, as it's a special occasion, I'll let it slip just this once as long as you promise to save me a dance." The blonde man took Yuki's hand in his own and stared down at the girl with wide eyes that she found impossible to resist.

"Um, Okay..just for a little while, though." The brunette quickly added the last part, knowing that if she didn't, she'd be forced to dance with him all night.

"Yay! Later then!" Cross squealed with delight as he departed.

"I wonder where he gets all his energy from.." Takuma laughed as he watched the elder man dance through the crowd.

"You have plenty of energy yourself, Takuma." Yuki joked.

"Hey, Hanabusa. Shouldn't you be off dancing with one of your dates?" Akatsuki asked, masked humor in his voice. "I'm sure they're all dying for a dance with their 'Idol- Senpai."

"I told them I'd dance with them later." The blue eyed male responded, waving to a line of girls waiting at the wall a few feet away from them.

"You shouldn't leave them waiting too long, Hanabusa. They might get bored." Yuki jumped in the conversation, giggling at his shocked expression as he spoke.

"You're right! Thank you, Yuki- Sama!" He dove up from his chair, crossing the space between him and his admires in two long steps. "Okay, girls! Who wants the first dance?"

Takuma and Yuki chuckled at the screaming reaction of the humans until a nervous looking Day Class student dressed in a knee length light blue dress approached the Noble.

"Um, excuse me, Ichijou- Senpai. Will you dance with me?"

The vampire smiled at the human as he stood up and took the girls hand. "It'd be a pleasure."

The remaining vampired began their own conversation, laughing amongst each other as Yuki sighed in happiness, her free hand playing with the vase that was placed on top of the white table cloth covering the table as her eyes searched the crowd again, a soft smile on her lips as she watched the different colors of the students dresses move around them as they danced with their partners in practices steps.

Her eyes stopped as they came across lilac ones, staring into the cold orbs that belonged to the school's prefect who was leaning against one of the stone pillars near the main entrance, and Yuki was surprised that he didn't turn his head in disgust as he usually did, instead he held her gaze. Wine and lilac staring into each other.

"Yuki?" A silky voice distracted the girl and she turned towards her brother. "Would you like to dance?"

Yuki nodded and smiled as Kaname stood up, raising their entwined hands to press a kiss on her knuckles as she rose from her seat swiftly and began walking towards the dance floor, seeing, from the corner of her eye, the silver haired boy still staring at her which, if she was being honest with herself, made her feel slightly uncomfortable.

The brunettes glided along the floor effortlessly in each others arms, each of their moves graceful and precise under the bright lights, causing some of the other couples stop and stare in amazement as the Kurans dances, joined shortly after by Kain with Ruka, Shiki with Rima and Aidou with a blonde haired Day Class girl.

Kaien walked over to his fostered son, raising a hand to ruffle the silver hair as he watched over the dance floor with a soft smile.

"I knew that safe co-existence was possible." The blonde boasted before turning his gaze to Zero. "Kiryuu- Kun, I know you think it's impossible, but I want you to, someday, understand my way of thinking."

"It is impossible. The past can never be erased." The Hunter turned and walked out of the door, shoving his hands into his pockets as the cold air hit them, his mouth set in a hard line as he walked towards the old test Dorms.
