It's almost Halloween and I'm super excited! I get to have a movie night at my house with all my friends (you better come BriBri-chan!) and then I have the house all to myself on Saturday!!!!!!

"Why me, Kaname-sama? Doesn't Aidou deserve the punishment more than me?" Senri muttered to himself. He leaned back against the leather seats of the car and took a deep breath. "Can you not just sit still for five minutes, Senna?"

Senna looked over her shoulder, pausing in her joyous leaping from one side of the car to the other. "Why?"

"It's annoying and you're giving me a headache." He breathed a sigh of relief when Senna plopped down beside him. "So, any ideas why my family would want to meet you?"

Senna giggled nervously. "I have no idea." She leaned against Senri and closed her eyes. "They're not gonna kill me, are they?"

Senri blinked. "Why would they kill you? Sure you're annoying, you never listen to authority, and you have an affinity for either messing up or losing your clothes but I don't think that warrants you dying."

Senna looked up at Senri, awe sparkling in her eyes. "That's the longest sentence you've ever said, Senri-nichan!"

Senri rolled his eyes and looked out the window. "We're here."

Senna climbed into Senri's lap so she could get a better view. She gasped. "Senri-nichan's house is huge!"

Senri shrugged. Once the car had stopped, he picked Senna up in his arms and got out. He pulled her luggage out of the trunk and carried her into the house. "I'm home."

A woman sat on the steps. She looked like she could be Senri's twin. She looked up when Senri entered. "Welcome home, Senri." She glanced nonchalantly at Senna. "Is this little Senna? I've heard so much about her."

Senri nodded and put Senna down. He handed Senna her luggage. "Your room is up the stairs, fifth door on the right. Go get settled in."

Senna looked nervously at the strange woman on the steps. She quickly ran past the woman and up the stairs. "Thank you for letting me stay!" She shouted over her shoulder as she ran. She located her room easily enough and frowned.

The walls were white and bare. It looked as though no one had ever lived in this room. Everything was perfectly clean and nothing was out of place. Senna dropped her bag on the ground.

"I'm sorry if this room isn't as nice as your other one."

Senna screamed and quickly spun around. She tensed when she saw that it was the strange woman. Her eyes narrowed when she saw blood on the woman's chin. "Did you hurt Senri-nichan!?"

The woman said nothing and kneeled down, holding her arms open to Senna. "I'm Senri's mother. It's nice to meet you finally, Senna. That bastard would always go on and on about his beautiful weapon that he had created and now, I can finally meet you."

"Mother," Senri's voice called from downstairs. "hurry up and get Senna ready. We need to leave."

The woman stood up and went over to Senna's bag. She began rummaging through it, frowning at each outfit she threw onto the ground. "You have too much white. Why is there so much white in here?"

Senna shrugged. "Ichi-nichan says I look cute in white. I'm not wearing white now though." Senna tugged on her green dress. "Where are Senri-nichan and me going?"

Senri's mother stood up and walked out of the room. She returned a few minutes later with a dark red dress. The dress had short sleeves that were trimmed with black lace as well as the bottom of the dress. The dress had a scoop neckline that was also trimmed with the black lace and the black lace circled the waist of the dress. Two black straps crisscrossed in the front, forming a black 'x' and were held in place around the neck. "Put this on. I'll get you some shoes."

Senna reluctantly put on the dark dress, frowning the whole time. When Senri's mother returned, she pouted. "I don't like this dress."

Senri's mother tossed a pair of black dress shoes to Senna. "Someone like you doesn't deserve to wear white. Go downstairs. Senri is waiting for you."

Senna quickly slipped the shoes on and ran out of the room and down the stairs to Senri. She hugged him tightly around his knees, looking up at him. "Where are we going?"

Senri led her back outside and to the car. "My uncle wants to see us."

"Thank you for coming on such short notice."

Senna frowned at the strange man that greeted them. She held Senri's hand tighter. "Who is this weirdo."

"Senna-chan, please be more respectful of your elders."

Senna spun around and squealed. She let go of Senri's hand and ran over to the person standing by the door. "Ichi-nichan!" She hugged him tightly, smiling when he picked her up. "What are you doing here?"

Ichijo smiled and held Senna close to him. "I was also asked to come here." He frowned at Senna's attire. "Why are you wearing a dress like that?"

Senna pouted over at Senri. "Senri's mama doesn't like me. She said I didn't deserve to wear white."

Senri's uncle smiled and motioned for the group to follow him. "I would like to show the two of you something, Senri, Senna."

Senna frowned as Senri's uncle led them down many flights of stairs. Her frown deepened when he led them into a basement with what looked like a stone coffin in the center of the room and a giant funnel with blood suspended above the coffin. Blood slowly dripped into the coffin. Senna buried her face in Ichijo's neck. "I don't like this place, Ichi-nichan. Can we leave?"

Ichijo hugged her tightly before placing her on the ground. "Go to Senri."

Senri's uncle nodded to Ichijo. "Please leave, Ichijo-san. Your grandfather is waiting for your return."

Senna reluctantly walked over to Senri, holding his hand tightly and looking nervously at Ichijo's retreating figure. "What's going on, Senri-nichan?"

Senri's uncle looked at the two identical vampires. "This is the Shiki families darkest secret. I've been protecting your father for years now, Senri." He glanced over at Senna. "This man is your creator. You should be grateful to him."

Senri frowned and tightened his grip on Senna's hand, pulling her close to him. "How disgusting. He hasn't died."

"You shouldn't say such cruel things about your father."

Senna whipped her head around and gasped. "You're that weird kid from the party!"

The young vampire boy smiled at both Senri and Senna. "I wanted to see you when you were all grown up, Senri. Senna-chan, you've gotten so much cuter since I first laid eyes on you." The boy suddenly collapsed.

Senna let out a scream of horror as a bloody hand gripped the edge of the coffin, spraying blood everywhere. She tried to pull Senri away, but he wouldn't budge. "Senri-nichan, let's get out of here!"

A bloody figure slowly sat up, extending a decaying hand out to Senri. "My cute son, will you lend me your power?"

Senna struggled when she felt arms grab her from behind and pull her away from Senri. Her eyes were covered by unfamiliar hands. "Let me go, bastard! Why are you doing this? Why are you hurting me and Senri-nichan!?"

Senri's uncle tightened his grip on Senna, ignoring the tears he felt on his hand. "You should be honored, little one."

Senna blinked as the man's hand was removed from her eyes. She looked up and saw that Senri was standing before her, only, it wasn't the Senri she knew anymore. His eyes were different colors, like the eyes of the young vampire boy that had just collapsed. "Who are you?"

'Senri' knelt down in front of Senna and pulled her into a tight hug. "It's been so long since I saw you, my beautiful little weapon." He stroked her hair affectionately. "Have you been a good girl while Papa was sleeping."

Senna tensed in his arms, looking around for an escape route. "Who are you?" She repeated, her voice trembling.

'Senri' smiled at her, tilting her face up so she was looking into his mismatched eyes. "I'm your creator, the person who gave you life. Don't you remember me, Senna-chan?"

Senna shook her head, attempting to wriggle away from his strong grip. She looked back around again, tears of fear spilling from her eyes and rolling down her cheeks. "Please let me go." A small whimper escaped her throat and she screamed loudly, hoping Ichijo would hear her voice. "You're a liar, Ichi-nichan! You said you'd protect me! You said you'd never let anything bad happen to me!" As she spoke, she felt her head being tilted to the side. She cried out as she felt fangs pierce her neck and then, her world disappeared into nothingness.

Once again, this is a slightly shorter chapter but…I'm still a little behind on the manga so I'm kinda reading and writing at the same time. Poor Senna-chan and Senri! What will happen to Senna now? Will she still be the adorable brat that we have all come to know and love? Will Ichijo feel guilty for his actions? Review and you shall find out!
