I'm so mean to my sister's boyfriend...but it's all good! Now, if only certain parents at work would get their act together, life would be amazing.

hisanachan: Well, there will be more scenes with them eventually but unfortunately they won't get to see each other for a while.

Sayuri x3: She wants to run away to go find Ichijo and because she wants to see Zero again.

Bonds of Hatred: Aw, you're so sweet! You get a cookie!! –gives cookies-

"Senna, would you just go to sleep?" Aidou groaned in frustration. He was beginning to regret his decision to stay with the Kaname in order to tutor Yuki and…supervise Senna.

Senna peeked out from under her covers. "But, I saw it! I really did!"

Aidou rolled his eyes. "For the last time, Senna, there's no such thing as ghost. Now go to sleep!"

"Don't turn off the lights!" Senna cried as Aidou didn't listen to her. She waited a few minutes to be sure he was gone and she ran out of her room. She clutched Z-chan close to her chest. Her long white nightgown was rather thin and she shuddered at the cold air that wafted around the underground Kuran household. She eventually made her way into the small living room. She curled up on the leather couch and cuddled with Z-chan.

She felt so alone. If they were back at Cross Academy, she would've gone to Ichijo or Senri's room if she was scared. Here, she only had Yuki, Kaname, and Aidou. Aidou was irritated with her right now and she wanted nothing to do with Yuki at the moment. She was still weary of Kaname since she could never really tell what he thought of her. Idly, she looked at her small fingers. She was glad to be back in her small body again. She sniffled as her thoughts drifted to Zero. "I miss you, Zero-nichan."

Kaname wandered into the living area a few hours later. He had gone to check on Senna and wasn't surprised when she hadn't been in her room. He knew she hadn't been sleeping well the past week. This was all very strenuous on the small vampire child and it didn't help that she swore she saw ghosts. He sighed when he saw Senna curled up on the couch. Tenderly, he picked her up and smiled as her grip on Z-chan tightened. He carried her back to her room and tucked her in.

"Zero-nichan…Ichi-nichan…" Senna mumbled sadly in her sleep.

"Sleep well, Senna." Kaname kissed her forehead and walked out of the room. He made sure to leave her door open a crack so that a small sliver of light fell into Senna's room.


"Senna, what are you doing?" Yuki walked into Senna's room and raised an eyebrow when she saw Senna peeking under her bed.

"I'm looking for the ghost." Senna answered plainly. She sat up and looked at Yuki. "Wanna help me find it?"

Yuki fiddled with her hair nervously. "You really think this place is haunted?"

"Yup." Senna wandered out of her room. She frowned down at her long green dress that matched Yuki's. She didn't like how long it was. "Where are the flashlights?"

"Oh," Yuki took Senna's hand in hers, ignoring as the small girl tried to pull her hand away. "There in Kaname-onisama's study."

Senna looked around the study. "Where is Kaname-san?"

"He left for business." Yuki said offhandedly as she rummaged through Kaname's desk looking for the flashlights. She grinned in triumph as she pulled two flashlights out. She handed one to Senna. "So, where should we look first?"

Senna tapped her chin with the flashlight. "Let's look in the hallways first. I always see it outside my door in the hallway."

Neither girl had turned their flashlight on until the lights suddenly went off. Senna screamed and clutched at Yuki's leg. "The ghost is gonna eat us!"

"What are you two doing?" Aidou rolled his eyes when he found the two girls cowering in the middle of the hallway. "You've got flashlights, use them."

"Aidou-nichan, the ghost is mad at us!" Senna cried as she reattached herself to Aidou.

"Senna, there is no such thing as ghost." Aidou said in exasperation. He looked incredulously at where Yuki was still cowering. "You don't believe her, do you?"

"W-well," Yuki stuttered. "The lights didn't turn off until we started looking for the ghost."

"There's a storm outside." Aidou said patiently. "The lights will be on soon."

All three of them screamed when they heard a loud banging. Aidou hoisted Senna up into his arms and stole her flashlight. With trembling hands, Aidou turned the flashlight on and turned the beam of light down the hallway. Nothing was there.

Senna whimpered as she clutched tightly to Aidou. "It's the ghost! It's angry at us!"

"It sounded like the noise came from the living room." Yuki whispered, also turning her light on.

"Ladies first." Aidou grinned nervously.

Yuki hesitated before making her way down the hallway with Aidou close behind her. The trio peeked around the corner of the doorway. There wasn't anything there.

Another bang led them to the Kaname's study. The terrified trio went around and around the Kuran house as the bangs led them from one place to another. They were becoming less and less terrified of the banging. It was when they heard evil laughter that they became terrified again.

All three of them were hiding under Senna's bed. Senna huddled in between the two. "What're we gonna do?" Senna whispered.

"We'll just wait here until Kaname-sama returns." Aidou whispered.

They didn't have to wait long before they heard Kaname's laughter. "I'm sorry, you three." The lights turned back on and Kaname smiled at the three from Senna's doorway. "I couldn't resist."

Senna was the first to climb out from under the bed and run over to Kaname. She hit his hand repeatedly. "That wasn't funny, Kaname-san! You're mean!"

Aidou came out next, his laugh wavering. "I knew it was Kaname-sama all along."

Yuki came out next, giving Kaname a hurtful look. "That wasn't nice, Kaname-onisama."

Kaname smiled as he picked Senna up and hugged Yuki. "Please forgive me. It was just too good of a trick to pass up."

Senna pouted. "So, there really isn't a ghost?"

"No." Kaname answered.

That night, Senna tucked herself into bed. Aidou had to go see his family for a while and she refused to let Yuki or Kaname tuck her in. She curled up in her feather down bed and played with the necklace Shizuka had left for her. She sighed and buried her face in her pillow. She felt so alone without everyone. She closed her eyes and finally fell asleep.

The ghostly figure of a woman appeared in her doorway. The pale woman went over to the bed, her white kimono brushing the ground. The woman sat on the edge of the bed and ran her translucent hand over Senna's face. A sad smile flitted across the woman's face. "Sleep well, my little one."


My poor Senna is all alone! Review please!
