Happy New Year!!!
Sakura02: You know how Kaname is. One minute he hates a person and the next he loves them.
AidoRockz: You'll just have to keep reading to find out.
XxXxCowsEatGrassxXxX: Ha, I didn't notice that until you pointed it out.
Aurellis: Lol, thank you. I don't know if or when Senna will forgive Yuki. It all depends on if I forgive her or not. I currently can't stand the girl.
IAmABoredGirlWithNothingToDo: Hey, I tried to send you a message but you have message receiving disabled. If I were to write the one shot, it wouldn't be done until March. Is that okay?

"Aidou-senpai, where's Senna?" Yuki asked as she looked around the study where she and Senna usually had their lessons.
"Her majesty refuses to wake up." Aidou rolled his eyes.
"Kaname-onisama…" Yuki pouted.
Kaname snapped the book he had been reading shut and smiled at Yuki. "I'll go wake her up." He walked out of the study and to Senna's room. He leaned against the doorframe. "Senna, it's time to wake up."
"Don't wanna…"Senna mumbled. She was completely covered by her comforter and all Kaname could see of her was a large bump moving about.
"Now, Senna, you need to wake up." Kaname sat on the bed and pulled the comforter back so he could see her head. He smoothed her hair down and kissed her head. "Wake up, Pretty Princess."
"No…" Senna opened her eyes and glared half-heartedly up at Kaname. "Can't I just skip lessons today, Kaname?"
Kaname didn't bother pointing out that she had dropped the –san from his name. "On one condition."
Senna slowly sat up in the bed. Her white nightgown was slipping off her right shoulder and she rubbed the sleep from her silvery eyes. She threw her upper body over Kaname's lap and glanced at him through her curtain of hair. "What?"
Kaname flipped her over so she was laying on her back and looking up at him. He tapped her nose playfully. "Come into town with me and help me pick out a present for Yuki."
"Do I have to?" Senna whined.
"It's either that or you go to your lessons." Kaname almost laughed at how quickly Senna flew from the bed and to her closest. "Do you need help getting dressed?"
"No, I'm fine, Da—Kaname." She fixed herself as she pulled a pink long sleeved dress out of her closest.
As Kaname left her room, he lovingly ruffled her hair. "I'll be at the entrance when you're ready."
Senna dressed herself and pulled on a pair of black dress shoes. She combed her hair and left it loose since she really didn't know what else to do with it. She snuck passed the study and to the entrance where sure enough, Kaname was waiting.
Kaname held his hand out and was surprised when Senna actually took his hand. He smiled down at her. He led her to where their car was waiting. The ride was fairly silent. Kaname watched Senna as she stared intently out the window. "Is there something interesting out there?"
Senna looked back over towards Kaname. "Not really. I just haven't been outside since…you know." She really didn't wish to relive her time in captivity. She blinked as Kaname came and peered out the window with her.
"I'm sorry you haven't gotten to play outside in so long." Kaname said.
"It's okay." Senna tilted her head up to look at the Pureblood. "It's no fun playing outside without everyone anyways."
Kaname said nothing as they pulled up to the entrance of the town. He climbed out first before assisting Senna out. He held her hand in his as they began to wander around the town.
"What're you going to get her?" Senna asked as they paused outside a jewelry store.
"Something pretty." Kaname answered as he led the small girl into the jewelry store.
While Kaname spoke softly to the clerk, Senna wandered around. She would pause occasionally to press her hands and face against the display glass. There were so many pretty things glittering in the false lighting. Her eyes lingered for a moment on a diamond bracelet with diamond sakura blossom charms dangling from it.
"What is it, Senna?" Kaname asked as he went over to her.
"Huh? Oh, it's nothing." Senna smiled at him. "Did you find something for Yuki-neesan?" She didn't want to point out the bracelet to Kaname. She already had two fairly expensive pieces of jewelry; the necklace from Shizuka and the golden locket Mikiri had given her. Besides, they were here for Yuki, not her.
"What do you think of this?" Kaname asked as he held a diamond necklace with a with a diamond shaped like a flower dangling from it out to show Senna.
"It's really pretty." Senna said as she gently touched the pearl. "Yuki-neesan will like it."
"Excellent. Go wait in the car while I purchase this." Kaname kissed the top of her head and ushered her out.
Senna pouted but obediently went out to the car. She slouched down in the seat and kicked her legs back and forth while she waited for Kaname. She blinked when she heard a light tap on the window. She glared at the person as she rolled the window down. "What do you want?"
"Now, is that anyway to speak to a Pureblood?" Sara cooed.
"It's the way I speak to them. What do you want, hag?" Senna snarled at the Pureblood woman. She really couldn't stand her.
"It's just been so long since I've seen you, I wanted to see how you were doing." Sara smiled. She reached out to move a stray strand from Senna's face but quickly retracted her hand when Senna nearly bit her fingers off. Her smile never disappeared. "I see your manners haven't improved."
"Is there something you need, Sara?" Kaname asked as he walked up to the car.
Sara smiled wider. "I was simply checking in on little Senna."
"Well, if you'll excuse us then." Kaname opened the door and slammed it in Sara's face.
Senna crawled into Kaname's lap and hugged him. "Thanks for making her go away." She tucked her head under Kaname's chin.
Kaname smiled down at her. "Well, that's what daddies do for their little girls. They protect them."
Senna nodded absentmindedly. "Yeah…you'll be a good daddy someday. As long as you don't get mad and choke them at least…"
"I am very sorry for that." Kaname tilted Senna's head up. "I promise you, I won't ever hurt you again."
"I know." Senna yawned. "It's my naptime now…"
Kaname hummed to the sleeping child the rest of the ride. When they returned to the mansion, he carried her back to her room and tucked her in for her nap. He pulled a small gift wrapped box from his coat pocket and slipped it under the covers and into her tiny hand. He kissed her forehead. "Sleep well, Senna."
Senna waited until Kaname had left before sitting up. She was still exhausted but she had woken when he placed the box in her hand. Sitting up, she tore the paper off the box and opened it. She gasped and almost cried. The bracelet she had seen in the jewelry store was there. She put the bracelet on and snuggled back under the blankets. As she drifted back to sleep, she promised herself she'd thank Kaname when she woke up again.
