Senna giggled as she ran breathlessly through the underground mansion. Kaname had volunteered to be it first. Senna wasn't sure where Yuki and Aidou had hidden. She heard footsteps coming down the hallway. Without thinking, she jumped up onto the ceiling and clung tightly to one of the corners.

Kaname walked down the hallway a moment later. He looked around for a moment. "Now, where could little Senna be?" He peered into one of the rooms. "Not there." He already knew where she was but he decided to prolong finding her for just a few moments. He knew she was enjoying herself by the quiet giggling he heard. He looked up and smiled. "There's my little Senna." He held his arms out.

"You're good at hide and seek." Senna grinned as she leapt from the ceiling and into Kaname's arms. She wrapped her arms around his neck and he held her tightly. She wondered vaguely if this was how a daughter should feel when her father was hugging her. Her "father" wasn't exactly the kindness person in the world and had most certainly never held her like Kaname was.

"Are you all right, Senna?" Kaname asked softly. She hadn't let go of him and was in fact playing with his hair which was something she had never done before.

"You're a good daddy, Kaname-san." Senna said. She looked up and kissed his cheek. "Let's go find Yuki and Aidou-nichan."

Kaname gently sat her on the ground and took her hand in his. The two walked around hand in hand to find the other two vampires. Kaname hid a smile at how Senna's hand would occasionally squeeze his before she dragged him down another hallway.

The two found Yuki easily enough as she was hiding in the kitchen pantry. It was Senna who found Aidou. She promptly tackled Aidou from his hiding place behind the sitting room's sofa.

Senna grinned and ran over to Kaname. She hugged him tightly around the waist. "We won, Daddy!" She faltered for a moment when she realized what she said. "I mean, Kaname-san….I'm it! You all have to go hide now!" Senna shouted, wanting to hide her red face.

As Kaname walked by to go hide, he gently patted her on the head. "Count to twenty, Senna."

"Okay…" Senna covered her eyes and counted to twenty. She looked around the room for a moment. "Ready or not, here I come!" Senna ran out of the room and peered down the hallway, trying to decide which way to go. Finally, she decided to head down the right hallway. She hadn't walked very far when she heard a strange noise coming from the room next to her. "Aidou-nichan?" She asked hesitantly.

"Senna…"

Senna stumbled backwards away from the door. That most certainly wasn't Aidou. Taking a deep breath, she opened the door, steeling herself for the worst. The room was empty. At least, that's what it appeared at first.

The ghostly figure of a woman shimmered on the bed in front of Senna. The woman smiled sadly at the shocked vampire child. "Senna…"

Cautiously, Senna approached the ghostly woman. "You're Shizuka-mama. What are you doing here?"

Shizuka's sad smile remained. "Senna, you're still in danger. He's still alive. He'll come for you again."

"Who?" Senna asked. A shudder went through her and the piercing look Shizuka gave her.

"Senna, who're you talking to?" Kaname asked. He frowned when he saw how shaken Senna was. He knelt on the ground. "Senna?"

Senna said nothing but ran over to Kaname and hugged him tightly. "Kaname-san, you won't let anyone take me away, will you?"

Kaname held Senna and kissed the top of her head. "Of course not. You're part of my family. I won't let anyone take you away. Did something happen?"

"No, it's nothing." Senna put on a bright smile. "I'm hungry, Kaname-san. Can we eat?"

"Of course. After we find Yuki and Aidou." Kaname watched Senna thoughtfully as she ran down the hallway in search of Yuki and Aidou. Something had upset the young girl and he planned to find out what exactly had upset Senna.


Bah, it's a little short, I know. Please review though and let me know!
