Wahhh!! I didn't fall asleep until 6 this morning and then I had to get up at 9! But it's all good. It's good to be back to my writing and thank you all so much for your patience! You're all the best .

"Senri, she's coming your way!" Ruka shouted.

"No, she's changed course!" Rima cried out. "She's coming towards you, Akatsuki!"

"She's going for the door!" Ichijo shrieked.

"Don't let her get outside!" Aidou screamed. "That dress cost a lot of money!"

Akatsuki sighed and sprinted out the door after the fleeing vampire child. "Senna, get back here now!"

It was too late. Senna was gleefully rolling around in a giant mud puddle. Her once white dress was now an ugly brown. Her hair that had been carefully pulled into a bun was completely in disarray. She grinned broadly up at Akatsuki. "That was fun!"

Akatsuki rolled his eyes and scooped her up, keeping her away from his clothes. "You shouldn't have done that. Now, you're going to have to take another bath and get your hair done again."

Senna pouted. "I want to go play with Zero-nichan and Yuki-neechan."

"Not tonight. We have a very important guest coming tonight and you need to look your best."

Senna struggled as Akatsuki handed her over to Rima. She began screaming at the top of her lungs when Rima pulled the dress off of her and put her in the bathtub. She struggled as Rima scrubbed her hair furiously, getting all the mud out of it.

Rima sighed. "Why can't you just stay clean for tonight? If you behave, I'll make Senri take you to get ice cream."

Senna's face lighted up. "Promise?" When Rima gave her a positive nod, Senna beamed. "I'll be good for the rest of the night. I promise." She sat patiently as Rima redid her hair and put another white dress on her.

Senri peeked into the room. "He'll be here soon. You both need to come downstairs."

Senna ran over and grabbed Senri's hand, dragging him down the stairs. She blinked when she saw that the entire Night Class was downstairs. "Why is everyone so scared looking?"

Senri led her over to where Akatsuki and others were. "The man coming tonight is Ichijo's grandfather. He's a very important vampire so you need to be on your best behavior."

Senna blinked and looked at Ichijo. She gave him a funny look when she saw him hopping from foot to foot, anxiously. She let go of Senri and went over to Ichijo. She tugged on his hand and held her arms up to him. She smiled when he picked her up and she nuzzled his cheek lovingly. "Is your grandpa nice like you, Ichi-nichan?"

Ichijo laughed. "Not exactly, Senna-chan. He's a very important man and very serious."

"You look very cute tonight, Senna."

Ichijo ran up the stairs with Senna still in his arms. "You don't need to come down, Kaname-sama. Grandpa just wants to see me."

Kaname smiled and held his arms out to take Senna from Ichijo. "Nonsense. I haven't seen Ichiou so I just want to greet him." He cradled Senna close to him and smoothed some stray strands of hair away from her face. "Is that okay?"

Senna shifted nervously in Kaname's arms. This was the second time Kaname had ever held her except this time he wasn't scolding her for attacking Aidou with garlic. "You don't have to hold me, Kaname-san."

Kaname smiled at her. "I want to hold you. Besides," Kaname's face became very serious. "I think it would be safer for you to stay close to me for tonight."

Senna sighed and reluctantly placed her head on Kaname's shoulder. She watched curiously as an older man walked into the main area of the Moon Dorm. She frowned as Kaname shifted to hold her in his left arm.

The man walked over to Kaname. "It is good to see you again, Kuran-sama." The man took Kaname's hand and bent to kiss it. "It never ceases to amaze me how different purebloods are from nobles. Even if you are stained in blood, you will remain untainted, much like the fragrance of flowers. I hope that one day I'll be able to share in your incomparable blood."

Senna gasped as Kaname's grip on her tightened. Everything happened so fast, she wasn't sure what to think. Ruka was standing protectively in front of Kaname and Aidou had grabbed the strange vampire's hand and yanked him away from Kaname. She looked up at Kaname. "Is that Ichi-nichan's grandpa?"

The man finally seemed to notice Senna. A look of surprise crossed his face. "Who is this young lady?"

Senna hissed at Ichiou and buried her face in Kaname's neck. "I don't like him, Kaname-san. Make him go away."

Kaname gently whapped Senna on her head. "That's very rude, Senna. Please apologize to Ichiou-san."

"I'm sorry, Ichi-nichan's grandpa." Senna mumbled into Kaname's neck.

Ichiou chuckled. "Where did you acquire such a strange child, Kuran-sama?"

Kaname smiled. "We found her in a pile of Ichijo's clothes." He turned towards Senri. "Why don't you take Senna back up to her room?"

Senri nodded and quickly took Senna away from Kaname, making sure to keep himself between Senna and Ichiou. "Let's go, Senna-chan."

Ichiou watched Senri closely. "She looks so much like you. She's very similar to you, isn't she?"

Senri said nothing and quickly ran up the stairs with Senna. He carried Senna into her room and helped her out of her dress. He yanked bobby pins out of her hair and messed her hair up affectionately. "You can't go downstairs for the rest of the night."

Senna was about to agree when she sniffed the air. Her eyes widened. "Zero-nichan is downstairs!" She ran out of the room in only her underwear. Her hair looked like she had just rolled out of bed. She didn't care though and happily skipped down the stairs to where Zero and Yuki were. She ran past Ichiou and hugged Zero tightly. "I missed you, Zero-nichan!"

Zero blinked and picked Senna up. "You do realize you aren't wearing any clothes, don't you?"

Senna grinned. "So what?"

Ichiou stared incredulously at the scene before him. "You are friends with this Vampire Hunter?"

Senna rolled her eyes. "Of course. Zero-nichan is one of my best friends in the whole world!"

Zero sighed and handed Senna back over to an anxious Ichijo. "We'll be leaving now."

Senna waved at Zero and Yuki's retreating backs. She yawned and looked up at Ichijo. "I'm tired."

Ichijo smiled and carried Senna back to her room. He tucked her in and kissed her goodnight before making his way to Kaname's room. He knocked on Kaname's door and let himself in. He frowned. "I did what you asked. I found out where Senna came from."

Bum bum buuuuuuuuuuuum. I don't know why I like doing that. Again, thank you all so much for your patience last week. Please leave your reviews and let me know what you thought.
