"Why can't I play with Mikiri-kun?" Senna pouted as she looked up at Rima.

"Don't give me that face. It didn't work on me when you were little and it's not going to work now." Rima gently pushed Senna's head down.

Aidou walked over and hugged Senna from behind. He placed his chin on Senna's lowered head. "Senna, he's a Vampire Hunter. Someday, you'll be on his list and he'll come and kill you. We just don't want you to get hurt."

Mikiri glanced over at the group of protective vampires surrounding Senna. He smiled nervously at the group glaring at him. "Um, is Senna-san okay?"

Senna managed to wriggle out of the group surrounding her and tackle Mikiri to the ground. "I'm okay! What about Mikiri-kun? Are you okay?"

Mikiri was bright red as he gently pushed Senna off of him. "I-I'm fine." His face looked like it was on fire when Senna wrapped her arms around his neck and hugged him.

Senna glared over at her family. "Mikiri-kun is my friend! I don't care if he's a Vampire Hunter. Zero-nichan is a Vampire Hunter and he's my friend." She looked up at Mikiri. "You want to be my friend, right? You won't hurt me."

Mikiri looked up at his family and glared at them. They were all laughing at him! He hesitantly wrapped an arm around Senna's waist. He made sure to keep an eye on her family to make sure they didn't attack him. He smiled at Senna. "Of course I want to be your friend. I won't ever hurt you, Senna-san."

Senna squealed happily and kissed his cheek. She glared back over at her family. "See!? Mikiri-kun is a nice boy! He just wants to be my friend! He wasn't thinking all those bad thoughts you said he was!"

Aidou was about to say something but Rima put her hand on his arm. She shook her head. "Let her be friends with him for now. The more we try and tell her they can't be together, the more she'll fight to be with him. If we just let it run it's course, she'll grow bored of him and leave him alone."

Akatsuki raised an eyebrow. "How do you know that?"

"I read it in a book about raising teenagers." Rima nibbled on a piece of pocky and handed a piece to Senri.

"Senna," Kaname smiled "why don't you and Mikiri-kun go tie up those guys in the hallway. We'll take care of the ones in here." He handed her some rope.

"Okay!" Senna leapt up and grabbed Mikiri's hand. She led him out into the hallway where the two men were still unconscious. She handed some of the rope to Mikiri before skipping into the room and beginning to tie up the man.

"You're not like other girls, Senna-san." Mikiri said quietly as he tied up the guy in the hallway.

Senna paused in wrapping the rope around the man to look at Mikiri. "What do you mean?"

Mikiri blushed as he busied himself with wrapping the rope more tightly around the man. "You seem much more naïve, like all of this is new to you."

Senna tilted her head to the side. "Is that bad?"

Mikiri smiled at her. "No. I think it's really cute. Here." Mikiri pulled a pretty golden locket out of his pocket. "You can have this."

Senna reached out and took the locket from Mikiri. She frowned. "Why are you giving this to me?

Mikiri looked away as he blushed. "One of our clients gave it to us in gratitude for saving her child. I don't wear jewelry but I thought you might like it because it's so pretty." He smiled as he watched Senna happily put the locket on. His eyes widened. "Senna-san, watch out!"

Senna gasped as the man she had been tying up grabbed her in a headlock. He pointed a gun at her head which made Senna freeze.

The man stood up with Senna, keeping the gun pointed at her head. "This is a Hunter's gun." He snarled at Mikiri. "If you take one step closer to me, I'll blow this little vampire's head off." He leered down at Senna. "I remember you now. It took me a while since you seem to be all grown up. You were the boss's favorite toy. He's gonna be real happy with me for bringing you back."

Mikiri drew his gun and pointed it at the man. "Don't move! Release Senna-san now!"

Senna was shaking. She remembered what it felt like to be shot with one of the Hunter's bullets. Tears fell from her eyes and the man dug the gun into her skull. "Please let me go."

"Senna!" Aidou ran out of the room at that moment. Aidou screamed as he was shot in the leg by the Hunter's gun.

The man leered down at Senna. "If you don't come quietly with me, I'll make sure every single one of those Vampires suffers. I'll shoot them in their legs first so they can't move. I'll take my time killing them. Do you understand?"

"Aidou-nichan!" Senna cried. She looked to her side and saw Mikiri still pointing his gun at the man. She looked in front of her and saw Aidou writhing on the ground in pain. She wanted so badly to go and help him. "Okay." She whispered.

"Good girl." The man wrapped his arm that held the gun around Senna's shoulders while he pulled something out of his pockets.

Mikiri's eyes widened and he moved forward to try and grab Senna. "Senna-san!"

The other's came out in time to see the man throw the smoke bombs. Senri snarled and ran into the smoke, reaching his hand out to try and find his little clone. When the smoke cleared, she was gone.

Akatsuki knelt down at Aidou's side. "He's been shot."

"We'll take care of him." Yusuke said. "We can get the bullet out."

Yuki grabbed Kaname's arm. "He took Senna! He's going to take her back to that place!" Tears were in her eyes. "I told her nothing bad was going to happen to her! I promised her she wouldn't get hurt!"

"Calm down, Yuki." Kaname wrapped an arm around Yuki's shoulders. "We'll get her back. That man is going to pay for stealing her from us." He looked over at Yusuke. "Your group should stay here and take care of interrogation."

Hiei grinned. "Sounds fun." He glanced over at the vampires. "What will your group do?"

"We'll go and save Senna, of course." Kaname said.

"I'm coming too." Mikiri said. Before anyone could protest, he fixed them with a determined look. "It's my fault she was distracted. I want to save Senna-san from those people."

"Well," Aidou groaned out. "then I'm coming too. There's no way I'm letting a little human show me up."

"Aidou," Kaname sighed. "you're injured. You need to stay here."

"Please, Kaname-sama," Aidou whispered. "she's like family to me. Would you be able to lie down while Yuki was in danger?"

Kaname sighed. "Very well. We leave in an hour."


"Ah, she's waking up!" A feminine voice squeaked.

"Thank goodness you're here, Carine." A male voice muttered. "I don't think any of us could tell."

"Shut up, Kijuu!" Carine hissed.

"Guys, keep it down." A soft male voice whispered. "She's probably hurt and you shouting isn't helping anything."

Senna groaned and opened her eyes. Her head was on something warm. Her silver eyes connected with the prettiest brown eyes she had ever seen. She realized that her head was in the lap of the owner of the brown eyes. Slowly, she sat up with the help of the brown eyed person. She realized that once she had sat up, that the person was a boy close to her age (body wise anyways). He had brown hair that was held back in a very small ponytail.

The boy smiled at her. "How are you feeling?"

Senna rubbed her throat. "My throat hurts."

"Here," A teenage girl with short blonde hair and violet eyes walked over with a cup. "It's only blood tablet water but it's all they'll give us." She smiled. "I'm Carine."

Another teenage boy hopped down and wrapped an arm protectively around Carine. He had wild black hair and friendly black eyes. "I'm Jiro."

Another boy walked out of the corner of the cell. He had very short brown hair and mischievous black eyes. "I'm Kijuu. Welcome to our family."

Senna glanced over at the boy that she had apparently been sleeping on. "Who are you?"

The boy smiled. "I'm Shuuchi. What's your name?"

"Senna." She spoke slowly.

Carine's eyes widened before she squealed excitedly. "You're the girl that escaped from here a few months ago! The creeps that run this place are always talking about you! Is it true that you're Rido-sama and Shizuka-sama's child!?"

Senna looked at the small group and decided she felt safer beside Shuuchi's side. She scooted closer to him. "No. I'm Senri-nichan's clone. You guys are all vampires, right?"

Shuuchi wrapped a comforting arm around Senna's shoulder and smiled reassuringly at her. "Yes, we're all vampires. Don't worry about Carine. She's always like that."

"Well, well," a voice that Senna had wished to never hear again hissed from outside the cell. "look who's finally come home."

Senna yelped as Shuuchi abruptly stood up and placed Senna behind him. She looked behind her and saw Jiro stand protectively in front of Carine while Kijuu snarled at the man outside the cell. Senna whimpered and buried her face in the back of Shuuchi's black shirt. She hoped the man would just disappear like he always did in her dreams.

The man wore a white lab coat. He was balding and the little hair that he still had on the sides were silver. Blue eyes glinted behind his glasses. He smirked. "Welcome home, Senna."


Dun Dun Duuuuun! It was really cool while I was writing this because all the songs that came on matched the scene that I was writing at that point. Review and let me know what you thought!
