Hola, everyone! My hair is like super red now. Like, Gaara red.

Sakura02: Closet Pervert! Lol, it's okay, I still love you. Hooray for me!!!

akiharu-chan: It's okay, I usually don't read author's notes either.

hisanachan: Senna is Senri's clone. I think it's in chapter 11 that she gets told that.

Totally CRAZY and Hyper: she's currently a child right now. These are all flashbacks to her pre-being turned into a teenager by Rido time.

Sara-haters of the world UNITE!!!!

It was cold. The metal table burned Senna's back with its coldness. Arms held her down as she struggled and screamed. Something pierced her skin. Needles. She was scared. Where was her mommy? Why would no one help her? She wanted to die. She wanted it all to end. There was nothing for her.

No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't die. No matter how many times she slit her wrist or starved herself, they wouldn't let her die. Why was she alive? What did she live for? She had no one to love and no one to love her.

All she knew was darkness. There was no light in her world. No sun. No moon.

There were no windows in her small cell. They never turned the light on for her. Why wouldn't it end? Why…

"Senna?"

Senna's silver eyes shot open and she looked into the concerned eyes of Ichijo. She reached up to him and sighed in relief when he embraced her. The dream was already fading from her memory. All that mattered to her now was the warmth of her Ichi-nichan.

"Did you have another bad dream?" He asked softly.

Senna nodded her head and wiped her stray tears away. "Will you stay with me? It's too dark. I'm scared."

Ichijo curled up beside the small child and smiled. "I've never heard of a vampire afraid of the dark before."

Senna pouted up at him. "It was always dark in the little room. I never got to see the stars, the moon, or the sun. There weren't any windows or lights. They always came and took me in the dark."

Ichijo frowned and held her closer to him. "They won't hurt you anymore. I won't let them."

Senna smiled and snuggled into Ichijo's chest. "I know. Ichi-nichan brought me out of the darkness. Ichi-nichan is the brightest light in my world. Ichi-nichan is my sun that makes the darkness go away." She yawned.

Ichijo smiled and kissed the top of the small child's head. "Aren't you the little poet when you get sleepy."

Senna stuck her tongue out. "Don't make fun of me." She closed her eyes. "Goodnight, Ichi-nichan."

Ichijo smiled. "Goodnight, Senna-chan."

Senna began to cry. She was all alone. Kaname had forbidden her to go to classes that night because she had a little cold. All the lights had been turned off when the other students left. Senna had been left alone in the dark.

Now, she was sitting on the edge of the fountain. She felt a little better being outside since there was a full moon out. It was brighter outside then it was in the dorm. Nevertheless, the tears continued to fall from her eyes. She was all alone again. Everyone had left her alone. She felt abandoned and scared. She hated being alone.

"What are you doing out here, Senna?"

Zero was startled when the small girl attached herself to him. He frowned when he heard her crying. "What's wrong? Why aren't you in class?"

Senna sniffled and looked up. "I wasn't feeling very good so Kaname-san told me to stay in the dorm. It was really dark and I got scared so I came outside."

Zero raised an eyebrow. "You're a vampire. How can you possibly be scared of the dark? Besides, what you said makes no sense. If you're afraid of the dark, why'd you come outside?"

Senna buried her face in Zero's shirt. Her small arms were wrapped tightly around the Vampire Hunter's waist. "The dark reminds me of the bad place. It reminds me of how alone I was. When I came outside, the moon lighted up the dark. Just like Zero-nichan!"

Zero raised an eyebrow. He picked the small girl up and sat down on the fountain edge with her in his lap. "How so?"

Senna smiled and hugged Zero. "Because I was all alone out here and I was scared. But Zero-nichan appeared and I wasn't alone anymore. Zero-nichan is like my moon. He lights up the darkness when I'm alone and scared."

Zero chuckled. "Did you get that out of a book?"

Senna puffed her cheeks out. "Ichi-nichan made fun of me too when I told him he was my sun! You guys are mean!"

Zero ruffled her hair. "I'm just kidding. No need to get so cranky." He almost smiled at Senna's pouty face. "So, I'm your moon?"

Senna nodded her head vigorously. "And Ichi-nichan is my sun. Ichi-nichan and Zero-nichan are my most precious people in the whole world!" She threw her arms out for emphasis. "Because you two make me feel safe, I decided that I would do anything to make the two of you happy. Even if it means me dying, as long as you two are happy, then it's okay."

Zero frowned and flicked her forehead. "Well, you better not die then. I don't think Ichijo would be thrilled with you being gone. I…" He averted his gaze from Senna's wide silver eyes. "…it'd be pretty boring without you around."

Senna's face broke into a grin. "Then I won't die! I'll stay alive so that you two will always be happy!"

Zero absentmindedly stroked her auburn hair. "What about Kuran and the others?"

Senna smiled. "I love them too but, as long as I have Ichi-nichan and Zero-nichan that's all that really matters to me. If everyone else hated me and abandoned me, as long as I had the two of you, I'd be happy."

"Well, you're pretty easy to please." Zero stood up with Senna still in his arms. "Let's get you to class."

"But Kaname-san said I couldn't go." Senna protested.

Zero shrugged. "I have to go on patrol but I don't want to leave you alone. He can deal with it."

He carried her all the way to the classroom and opened the door without knocking. He ignored the stares of the vampire teacher and all the vampire students. "That's irresponsible parenting to leave a child alone, Kuran."

Ichijo leapt out of his seat and took Senna from Zero. He practically cooed to the small girl. "I'm sorry, Senna. You don't like being alone and I left you there." He gave Zero a small smile. "Thank you for bringing her."

Zero shrugged as he ruffled Senna's hair. "Hope you feel better, Little Leech."

Senna grabbed Zero's hand off her head and kissed it. "Will you play with me tomorrow, Zero-nichan?"

"We'll see." Zero left the room.

Ichijo gave Senna a reprimanding look. "You shouldn't have left the dorm."

Senna pouted up at him. "It was dark and I was scared."

Ichijo sighed and went back to his seat. He sat down with Senna in his lap. He tore a piece of paper out of his notebook for her so she could doodle while the teacher spoke.

For her part, Senna was the happiest little girl in the world. In one night, she had gotten to spend time with both her moon and sun. She idly doodled a sun and a moon on her paper.

"Senna, did you hear a word I just said?" Ruka asked with a hint of irritation in her voice.

Senna looked around. She must have dozed off. She looked down at her hands that were hers but still so unfamiliar. They were long and elegant, like those of an adult, not a child. She was still trapped inside this teenage body with her child mind. She smiled apologetically at Ruka. "I'm sorry, Ruka-neesan. What were you saying?"

Kaname smiled sadly at her. "You're worried about them." Kaname knew how important both Zero and Ichijo were to Senna.

Senna nodded absentmindedly. "I…I want to go find Ichi-nichan! I don't care what the rest of you do! I'm going to find him even if I have to do it alone!"

Kaname frowned at her. "How do you plan to do that? You have no money, Senna. Even though you have an older body, you still have the mind of a child. You can't just go wandering off by yourself."

Tears were filling in at the corner of Senna's eyes. "I don't care! Both of my most precious people are hurt right now! I swore I would do anything to make them happy, even if it cost me my life! Zero-nichan is suffering because of Yuki-neesan! I hurt Ichi-nichan! I have to make them both happy again! I have to save Ichi-nichan and Zero-nichan!" She began to sob.

Kaname held the distraught girl in his arms, murmuring softly to her. "Hush. We'll find Ichijo. You just have to be patient. As for Kiryuu, I don't know how much there is that you can do for him."

Senna buried her face in Kaname's jacket. It wasn't the same though. She knew Kaname cared for her but it wasn't the same as Ichijo or Zero. "Kaname-san, my chest hurts."

Kaname kissed the top of Senna's head. "I know. We'll go find Ichijo soon, I promise. First, there are a few things we have to do."

Senna blinked up at him, the tears still falling from her eyes. "What?"

Kaname smiled at her as he wiped the tears from her eyes. "First, we need to get you a new wardrobe. I don't think your old clothes will fit you anymore. Second, there is something Rido said that I would like to look into."

Senna tensed at the mention of Rido's name. "What did he say?"

"He spoke of the lab you came from. It's still there and their still conducting experiments. Senna," he fixed her with a serious look. "there are children that are being hurt just like you were. They're different from you though. They were taken from their parents. I want to find this lab and destroy it."

Senna's eyes widened. He wanted her to go back to that horrible place. She trembled in Kaname's arms. "Are we gonna save those kids?"

Kaname nodded at her. "Yes."

"And after that, we'll go find Ichi-nichan?"

"Yes."

Senna bit her lip. She didn't want to go back there. There were so many painful memories there. She wouldn't have her sun and moon to shine their light on that dark place. But, there were children suffering there. She didn't want anyone else to go through what she had. Besides, this would make her stronger for Ichijo and Zero. She would be able to make them happy if she was stronger. She could save them both…

"Okay."

Next week will begin our filler arc that will delve more into Senna's past. I hope you all liked this weeks chapter! Review and let me know, please!
