..Rawr. Sakura02 pointed something interesting out to me. Senna means "bramble of destruction". A bramble is a prickly shrub. So basically, Senna is a prickly shrub of destruction. Just thought everyone might want to know that.

Kaname nodded towards Ichijo. "What did you find out?"

Ichijo bit his lip. "It seems that Senna-chan…."

"Ichijo, Senna's crying again!" Rima shouted, bounding into the room.

Ichijo looked helplessly at Kaname. "I'll be right back, Kaname-san." Ichijo ran out of the room and went straight to Senna's room.

Senna was sitting up in her bed, sobbing. She was scratching furiously at her arms, blood dripping from the wounds. "I don't wanna do it! Please don't hurt me! Please save me, Ichi-nichan!"

Ichijo sat on the bed and quickly scooped Senna up into his arms. He tried to ignore the scent of Senna's blood and smoothed her hair down. "Senna-chan, please calm down. You're hurting yourself. I'm right here."

Senna continued hiccupping and sobbing hysterically. "I don't want Mommy to come back! I don't want to get taken away!"

Akatsuki and the others had run in, drawn by Senna's screams and the scent of blood. Senri was the first to react. He sat beside Ichijo, taking Senna away from him. He licked the blood from her arm and stroked her hair soothingly. Once all the blood was gone, he hugged her tightly. "Calm down, Senna."

Senna hiccupped but her crying stopped. She snuggled against Senri's chest and immediately fell asleep.

Ichijo took Senna back and tucked her back in. He rested next to Senna, hugging her close to him. He gave the other vampires a look and watched them all leave, except for Senri. "You can leave, Senri."

Senri shook his head. "I want to make sure she doesn't get upset again."

Ichijo sighed. "I'll make sure she's fine."

Senri snuggled up against Senna's back. "I'm not leaving."

The next evening, Senna awoke, feeling uncomfortably warm. She looked up and saw Ichijo in front of her. She glanced over her shoulder and saw Senri. She groaned and attempted to wriggle away from the two boys but it was useless. "Senri-nichan, Ichijo-nichan, we've gotta get ready for school."

Ichijo groaned and slowly got up. He smiled down at Senna. "Did you sleep well, Senna-chan?"

Senna gazed at Ichijo curiously. "Why are you and Senri-nichan in my bed?"

Ichijo blinked. "You don't remember?"

Senri slowly got up. "We need to get ready for class."

Senna shooed the two boys from her room. She slowly got dressed in her school uniform. Finally, she emerged from her room and skipped down the stairs. She went and stood beside Akatsuki, holding his hand in hers. "Good morning, Akatsuki-nichan."

Akatsuki picked her up and kissed her cheek. "Are you feeling better?"

Senna frowned. "What are you talking about? Did something happen last night?"

"She doesn't remember." Senri said, coming to stand beside Akatsuki.

The group made its way outside, with Senna perched on Akatsuki shoulder's. Senna waved happily at Zero and beamed when Zero gave her a short nod. She barely noticed when they finally reached the school building and the doors were shut behind them. What she did notice, was that Yuki was inside. She squealed and climbed down from Akatsuki's shoulders. She ran over and hugged Yuki tightly. "Good morning, Yuki-neechan!"

Kaname sighed. "Senna, let go of Yuki."

Senna squealed when Zero opened the door. She released Yuki and ran over to Zero. She hugged him tightly. "Hi, Zero-nichan!"

Zero patted her head absentmindedly and quickly grabbed Yuki. "See you around, Senna."

Senna pouted as Yuki and Zero disappeared outside and the door closed. She looked up at Kaname. "Can I go play with Yuki-neechan and Zero-nichan instead of going to class?"

Kaname stooped down to Senna's level and ruffled her hair. "Nice try, Senna, but no. You need to go to class."

Senna reluctantly followed the Night Class into the classroom. She sat on top of one of the desks, kicking her legs idly. She smiled when Senri held a piece of pocky out to her. She munched on it happily, ignoring Aidou's furious screams. She broke off half of the pocky stick and held it out to Aidou. She giggled as Aidou picked her up, kissing her cheek affectionately.

Aidou munched happily on the half of the pocky stick. "Thank you for sharing, Senna-chan."

Before Senna could reply, there was a noise from the front of the room. She tilted her head to the side to see what was going on.

There was a strange girl standing in the front of the classroom, giggling. "This seems like a fun class."

Senna tilted her head to the side and stared at the girl. She blinked when she realized the girl was in front of her and Aidou. She hissed when the girl placed her hands on Aidou's cheeks.

The girl stared down at Senna and smiled. She reached out to stroke Senna's cheek. She quickly withdrew her hand when Senna snarled at her. "My, what a rude child. Didn't your mother teach you any manners."

Kaname came over. "You should introduce yourself, Kurenai Maria."

Senna gagged as she watched Maria squeal and drool over Kaname. "Stupid fangirl."

Maria blinked. "It seems I've upset the class. I'll excuse myself."

Senna watched Maria leave, snarling until the girl was out of sight. She buried her face in Aidou's neck. "She's weird, Aidou-nichan. I don't like her."

Kaname came over and took Senna from Aidou. He gave her a gentle whap on the head. "That's a very rude and unkind thing to say, Senna. You're much nicer than that."

Senna huffed and puffed her cheeks out at Kaname. "I don't like how she tried to touch me. Only people I like can touch me."

Kaname chuckled. "So, you like me, Senna?"

Senna shrugged. "Yeah, you're okay. Besides, if I told you no, Ruka would have and aneurism."

Ruka shrieked. "How do you even know that word!?"

Senna stuck her tongue out. "It's called reading. You should try it sometimes."

After class, Senna was sitting on her bed, kicking her legs on the side. She didn't like Maria being on the campus at all. She tried to fall asleep but it was useless. Finally, she climbed out of bed, her white nightgown was almost too long for her and touched the tops of her tiny feet. She walked down the hallway and went straight to Kaname's door. She knocked lightly.

Kaname opened the door and smiled down at her. "Is something wrong, Senna?"

Senna shuffled her feet on the ground. "Can I talk to you, Kaname-san?"

Kaname ushered Senna into his room. He picked her up and placed her on the couch, sitting beside her. "What is it?"

Senna fiddled with the hem of her nightgown. "I really don't trust that Maria girl. She gives off a really bad vibe."

Kaname put a hand on each of Senna's cheeks, forcing her to look up at him. He smiled warmly down at her. "I wonder if they gave you her last name?"

Senna tilted her head to the side. "What are you talking about, Kaname-san?"

Kaname moved his hands down to Senna's neck, beginning to squeeze her neck. "You should know exactly what I'm talking about, Hiou Senna."

Mwahaha, that's all for this week. You'll have to wait until next week to find out what Kaname-chan is talking about. Please review and let me know what you thought!
