The end of the semester is growing closer and closer for me. I can't wait for it to finally be summer.

Sakura02: That eyelash curler is evil! It's out to get me, I swear it is! At least while they're at the ball, Shuuchi and the others will show up. You better get the joke of this chapter's title by the way.

xXKaminari-TsubasaXx:…maybe….:P

IAmABoredGirlWithNothingToDo: Lol, the reason I ask the questions is more just because it's kind of like the old DBZ episodes and stuff. You know, where they'd ask all the questions and tell you to tune in next week. I'm sorry about your dog! I hope you find him and that you had a Happy Easter! Don't worry! Shuuchi and Mikiri are going to show up this week.

lovelyanimeangel: You'll just have to keep reading to find out who was calling to Senna.

"No ma'am." Kaname scolded softly to Senna when she attempted to slip away.

Senna huffed. "But, Zero-nichan is over there." She whined. She had seen Zero when they had first entered the ballroom and she wanted desperately to go over and see the Vampire Hunter.

"Patience, Senna." Kaname smiled down at her. "You can go see him shortly."

Senna shuffled closer to Kaname's side as vampires began closing in on them from all sides. She could practically smell the blood lust radiating from the vampires as they approached Kaname, Yuki, and herself. "Kaname, I don't like them."

A vampire close by crouched down and smiled eerily at her. "There's no need to be frightened, Senna-sama. We would never harm you, or Yuki-sama, or Kaname-sama. You are the purebloods precious daughter now."

Senna had to bite her lip to keep from pointing out she was only their adopted daughter. She perked up when she noticed a very familiar vampire enter the room. She tugged impatiently on Kaname's hand. "Can I go?"

Kaname glanced up and saw who it was that had gotten Senna so excited. With a resigned sigh, he nodded. "Be a good girl."

With a grin, Senna wove through the vampires and towards the familiar messy brown hair. "Shuuchi!" She squealed as she leapt into the unsuspecting vampire's arms.

Shuuchi smiled and hugged Senna tightly. "Senna, are you all right? It's been so long since I last saw you." He blinked and blushed as Senna kissed his cheek.

Senna beamed up at him and nestled her head in the crook of his neck. "I missed you, Shuuchi. It's been so boring being stuck with Kaname and Yuki. Where's Carine and Jiro and Kijuu?"

"Oh, they're around." Shuuchi smiled affectionately down at Senna. "You look beautiful."

Senna grinned and rubbed her cheek against Shuuchi's. "Ruka made me all pretty for the ball."

"Are you just going to cling to him all night or are you going to say hello to me?" A familiar voice asked from beside Shuuchi.

"Mikiri!" Senna leapt from Shuuchi to Mikiri's arms. She kissed the Vampire Hunter on the cheek before snuggling close to him. "I missed you too. Have you been a good boy while I was gone?" She asked.

Mikiri's cheeks were a light pink but he nodded his head. "Of course."

"Good Vampire Hunter." Senna patted his head affectionately. She looked around the room and saw that Zero was staring over at her. "I have to go see Zero-nichan."

"Will you dance with me later!?" The two boys shouted in unison as Mikiri put Senna back on the ground.

Senna giggled. "I will. I promise." She once again wove through the throng of people to the opposite end of the ballroom. "Zero-nichan!" She screamed as she tackled Zero.

Zero grunted but hoisted Senna up into the air. He allowed a small smile to crack on his face. "I told you we'd see each other soon."

"One year isn't soon." Senna huffed out. She pulled on Zero's cheeks. "I missed you and I was really bored."

"I'm sorry." Zero said softly. He held Senna in his arms and tapped her nose. "You haven't bitten anybody, have you?"

Senna shook her head. "Well…I bit Mikiri 'cause I got hurt and he told me to but that's it! I'm waiting until I find my true love!" She tilted her head slightly and observed Zero. "Hey, Zero-nichan, what if you're my true love?"

A man next to Zero scoffed. "That would be hilarious."

Senna stared blankly at the man for a moment. At first, she thought it was Senri but on closer inspection and a sniff of the air around him, revealed him not to be. "Who are you?" She asked.

Zero sighed. "Senna, this is Kaito Takamiya. Don't listen to anything that comes out of this idiot's mouth."

Kaito frowned. "You wound me, Zero. Really, you do."

Senna giggled. "You sound like Senri-nichan." She tensed when a familiar and unwelcome scent pervaded the air. She looked over her shoulder to see who it was and bristled. "I hate her." She hissed to Zero.

Zero nodded as Sara glided through the ballroom. He frowned when he realized she was heading towards Yori. "Stay." He ordered Senna as he put her down.

Kaito looked down at the clearly upset vampire child. "You aren't going to stay, are you?"

"Nope." Senna was off after Zero, weaving easily through the throng of vampires. She reached Zero just as he grabbed Sara's hand. "What are you doing here?" Senna huffed out at the Pureblood.

Sara smiled down at her. "Oh, if it isn't the darling little Senna. You're still alive, Dear?"

Senna snarled and pulled out her Anti-Sara stick she had hidden in the ribbon around her waist. She began smacking Sara in her side. "Go away."

"Now, Senna, that's no way to treat our guest." Yuki appeared and with one hand scooped Senna off of the ground and with the other gently touched Zero's arm. "Please do not harm her."

Zero glared down at Yuki's hand. "Don't touch me." He hissed out.

Senna continued attempting to whap Sara with the stick. She yelped as another pair of arms took her from Yuki. She was about to throttle the person but relaxed when she saw it was just Shuuchi. As he walked away with her, she waved to Zero. "I'll see you later, Zero-nichan!"

Shuuchi sighed as rested against a wall with Senna still in his arms. "Senna, why would you do something like that? Sara-sama is a Pureblood."

"I don't care." Senna puffed her cheeks out and crossed her arms. "I hate that woman. She looks at my Ichi-nichan all creepy like and she smells like she just ate." Senna wrinkled her nose in distaste.

"You really love Ichijo." Shuuchi smiled sadly down at the now thoughtful looking child.

Senna tilted her head up and smiled at him. "I love Ichi-nichan with all my heart!"

Shuuchi rested his head on top of hers. "I wonder if there's any room left in your heart for me?"

"Don't be sad, Shuuchi." Senna leaned up and gave him a peck on the lips. "I love you too."

Mikiri appeared at her side and held his arms out. "What about me?"

Senna leapt into his arms and kissed him too. "I love you too, Mikiri! And, I love Zero-nichan, and Senri-nichan, and Touga Darling, and Kaname, and Aidou-nichan, and Akatsuki-nichan, and Yuki-neechan, and Rima-neechan, and Ruka-neechan!"

"Well, I suppose I don't mind sharing you for now." Mikiri sighed out.

"Nor I." Shuuchi piped up.

Senna squeaked as the two boys began glaring at each other. She perked up when she saw Kaname approaching. She smiled and waved to the Pureblood. "Hi, Kaname!"

Kaname held his hand out patiently. "Stick. Now."

Senna handed it over and yelped as she was whapped over the head with said stick. "Ouch! You're mean, Kaname!"

"Yes, yes. I know I am." He looked pointedly at the two boys and waited patiently for them to hand Senna over. "Thank you two for watching her."

Senna waved over Kaname's shoulder at the two sulking boys. "Bye!" She tensed as Kaname was approached by Sara. "Make her go away, Kaname." She yelped as her bottom was swatted.

Kaname inclined his head to Sara. "I do apologize for my daughter's behavior."

Sara waved her hand dismissively and smiled. "Children will be children."

"Kaname-sama." Seiren appeared at his side and though she tried to whisper that the other Pureblood had died so that Senna wouldn't hear, she still did.

Senna glowered at Sara whom continued to simply smile. She knew the Pureblood had something to do with it. She liked the woman less and less each time she saw her. Now, if only she could reach her stick that was in Kaname's pocket and whap that smile off the Pureblood's face.


Time to stop. Review please!
