I'm so sorry that I just disappeared for a few weeks! You see, I've been writing this original novel for…three years now. I finally had the story down and knew exactly what I wanted to do with it. I, being the crazy person that I am, decided I wanted to complete the novel before school started in one week. I wrote thirteen chapters in one week guys! I finished the first draft! I was so happy, I cried like a baby.
School and work started back up and it has been way too crazy to try and write anything. Now that I've got my schedule down, I'm going to get back to updating! Thank you all for being so patient with me!
Midnightxwolfx: She's about 6. As for her size, she's a very small child. Trust me, I've seen kids come in all sizes. I worked with a 1st grade class last year and had a few kids that looked like they should be only 4 while I also had one that looked like he should be in 3rd grade. I work with kindergarteners this year and there's a little girl in my class that is only 4 and looks like she should be 7. It ultimately depends upon genetics and what parents feed their kids. The gas changed her back and Jadoku did that because he's a jerk…and for his plans later on…
i-love-naruhina: Senna is physically about 6 years old.

Senna blinked, absorbing her surroundings. She looked up at the shocked looks on Shuuchi and Mikiri's faces. She looked down at her hands, her eyes widening at the small fingers on her hands. A grin split across her face. "I'm back to normal! No more bras!" She crowed excitedly.
Mikiri opened and closed his mouth a few times. He looked at Shuuchi for answers but found Shuuchi's face mirroring his own.
"Oh, Senna!" Yuki cried out as she ran over to the small girl. She picked the fabric of Senna's old dress up and wrapped it around Senna's naked body. She hugged the little vampire tightly to her. "I'm so glad you're back to normal."
"Yuki-neesan, let me go!" Senna whined. She wriggled away from the ecstatic vampire only to be scooped up by Aidou. She huffed in annoyance.
Aidou cooed down at her and smoothed her hair down. "I missed you too." He grinned over at the flabbergasted looks on Mikiri and Shuuchi. "What, didn't you know that Senna's a little girl?"
Shuuchi shook his head mutely. "She…never told us." He sounded almost hurt.
Senna struggled out of Aidou's grasp and skipped over to Shuuchi and Mikiri. She looked pleadingly at them. "I'm sorry, I really am. I was scared you wouldn't want to be my friends if you knew I was a kid. I was gonna tell you, though, once we got out." She stuck her lower lip out, her chin quivering. "Please don't be mad at me."
Shuuchi was the first to react, wrapping Senna into a tight hug. "No, no…we aren't mad at you. Just…surprised. Right, Mikiri?"
"Uh…" was all Mikiri could mutter out. Of all the girls he could possibly get a crush on, it had to be not only a vampire, but a child vampire. He snapped out of his stupor when he saw the tears welling up in Senna's eyes. He reached his hand out and smiled when she took it. "No, I'm not mad. It's just really surprising to see you so…tiny." Oh, Hiei was going to have a field day with this.
Shuuchi grinned over Senna's head. "You know what this means; I win."
Mikiri pulled Senna closer to him. "How do you figure?"
"Well," Shuuchi tugged Senna back to him. "I'm a vampire. I'll live much longer than you and age much more slowly. I can wait for her to grow up."
"So?" Mikiri pulled her back towards him. "I'm a Vampire Hunter, therefore, I'm not a normal human. I can wait for her too."
Senna blinked as she was tugged back and forth between the two. "Shuuchi-kun? Mikiri-kun?" She blinked as she was yanked away from the both of them. She looked up. "Kaname-san?"
Kaname smiled at the two boys that froze at the mention of his name. "I am very grateful to the two of you for being so worried about our precious Senna-chan. However, if either of you wishes to court Senna-chan, you'll have to wait until she's much older and gain my approval seeing as I am her legal guardian."
Senna huffed up at Kaname. "Since when are you my guardian?"
"Since I adopted you." Kaname stated plainly.
Senna up and closed her mouth, shock and disbelief plastered all over her face. "When'd you do that!?"
"I put the papers in a few months ago." Kaname answered, smiling at the flabbergasted looks on everyone's faces.
"So, I'm a Kuran now?" Senna stuck her tongue out distastefully. "Kuran Senna doesn't sound cool."
Kijuu and the others arrived at that moment. Kijuu raised a slight eyebrow at the sight of Senna. "I always thought she was too dumb to be a teenager." He bowed respectfully to Kaname. "Sir, what are we supposed to do now?"
"We've…taken care of all the doctors." Senri said, nibbling on a stick of pocky. "Jadoku got away."
Kaname nodded slowly. He looked at where Carine, Jiro, and Kijuu were shuffling nervously in the doorway and down at the floor where Mikiri and Shuuchi were still having a glaring contest. "All of the captives will come with us to the town. We've sent word to your guardians of your whereabouts."
Kijuu perked up. "Even mine?"
"Yes." Kaname said as he attempted to hold Senna tighter to him as she wriggled about. "A…Mr. H I believe said he would get your other guardians together and retrieve you."
"Mr. H!?" Kijuu fist pumped the air for a moment before pouting. "He's the whole reason I got caught in the first place!"
Carine sighed as she patted her distraught friend on the back. "What about mine, Jiro's, and Shuuchi's? Is my stupid onichan coming to get me?"
"No," Kaname sighed as he finally released Senna, shaking his head as he watched her attach herself to Shuuchi and Mikiri. "Hibari-san will come to pick you and your friends up."
Jiro's eyes lit up. "I haven't seen Kyoya-nichan in ages! Isn't that great, Carine?"
Carine patted her boyfriend on the head. "Yes, yes. It's wonderful."
Senna looked nervously at the two teenage boys in front of her. "So, you aren't mad at me?"
Mikiri chuckled. "No. I don't think I could ever be mad at you, Senna."
"Me neither!" Shuuchi added, not to be outdone.
Senna's eyes lit up and bright smile spread across her face. "Thank you."
"All right, everyone." Kaname called everyone to order. "Let's head out."
Little short. Next update should be the last of this filler arc. Review please!
