So, we might be doing fillers for a while…the website I go to for scanlations is closing down. Until I can find another website, we're going to be doing fillers. I hope they will all amuse you!

Kaname waited patiently for Senna's breathing to slow. Once he was certain the child was no longer crying, he lifted her face up. He wiped what little remained of the tear streaks from Senna's eyes and gave her half-smile. "It will be all right, Senna."
Senna shook her head. "No, Zero-nichan will hate me…" The thought of the Hunter never speaking to her again caused her chest to constrict painfully. She whimpered and buried her face in Kaname's chest.
Kaname sighed and picked the small girl up. He snapped the folder shut and threw it onto the couch before taking Senna over to the bed and letting her curl up in the middle. He laid beside her and patted her head until Senna once again calmed down. "Everything will be all right, Senna. I promise."
Senna nodded her head but said nothing. She didn't know how Kaname could make everything all right. Not with what was happening to her…what was going to. "At least he won't have to hate me for very long…"She finally said softly.
"Don't." Kaname said firmly, his hand pausing in patting her head. "I won't allow it."
"How long?" Senna whispered.
"A year…two years at most." Kaname answered finally. "If I have to wring the answers from Jadoku myself, I will find a way to save you."
Senna was quiet for a moment, content to snuggle with the Pureblood. Finally, she spoke again. "I'm scared, Kaname. I don't want to die."
Before Kaname could answer, Yuki walked into the room. Both Kaname and Senna glanced at each other and silently agreed not to tell Yuki anything that they had read in the folder. Senna could already see the first rays of dawn peeking through the slightly ajar curtains.
Yuki glided over to the windows and shut the curtains completely. She turned and smiled over at Kaname before disappearing into the bathroom to prepare for bed.
Kaname looked back at Senna to reassure her that everything all right but found the young girl was already curled up in a tight ball sound asleep. He sighed and kissed the top of Senna's head. "Sleep well, Senna."
Senna awoke to find herself sitting beneath the sakura tree. She frowned when she saw the mirror standing in front of her. She didn't want to see Rido; she was in no mood. Instead of walking over to the mirror to stare at her ever changing reflection, Senna decided to walk around to the other side of the tree.
"Hello, Senna."
"Shizuka-mama…" Senna said softly as she stared at the beautiful Pureblood. Despite the smile Shizuka gave her, Senna could see it didn't reach the Pureblood's eyes. "Why is this happening to me?"
Shizuka scooted over to allow Senna to sit beside her. When the young vampire was comfortable, Shizuka wrapped an arm around her. "I believe it's because I carried you." She said softly. "Are you frightened, Senna?"
"Yes." Senna answered. "I'm not scared of dying…I'm scared Zero-nichan will hate me when he sees what I'm becoming. I don't want him to look at me the way he did you." Senna suddenly felt herself being pulled awake. The dream world around her was fading.
"Why would you hide this from me?" Yuki's sharp voice cut through Senna's sleep.
Senna sat up and blearily looked around the room. Despite seeing how late it was by the fading sun outside, Senna felt like she had barely slept. She could see Yuki and Kaname already up and Yuki waving something in Kaname's face. "What's wrong, Yuki-neechan?"
Yuki paused in her tirade and lowered her hand that had been holding the folder. "Oh, Senna." She sat beside the child on the bed and hugged her tightly.
"She found the folder?" Senna asked Kaname. At the Pureblood's affirmative nod, Senna sighed and hugged Yuki back. "It's okay. I'm not really that scared."
"Why is this happening to her?" Yuki asked Kaname. "Why is she becoming a Pureblood? She's supposed to be Shiki's clone."
"Shizuka-mama said it's because she carried me in her tummy." Senna said, not seeing the looks Yuki and Kaname exchanged. "What does me being in Shizuka-mama's tummy have to do with anything?"
Kaname joined the two females on the bed. "I'm not completely done reading Jadoku's research, but, I believe that while you were growing inside Shizuka, her DNA attached to yours. For some reason, it has been lying dormant until now…" He sighed when he saw the clearly confused look on Senna's face. "Simply put, the blood of Shizuka and Rido is overpowering the blood of Shiki. It probably doesn't help that Rido is Shiki's father…"
Yuki continued clutching Senna to her. "What about the other part? Why did it say her expected lifespan was only another two years?"
"I don't know, Yuki." Kaname said softly. "I promise you, I will do everything in my power to find Jadoku and find a way to save Senna."
Senna stared out the now open window. She could see the snow falling gently. It was strange for it to be snowing so late in the season. A thought suddenly occurred to Senna. "Tomorrow is Valentine's Day." Senna's eyes widened and she turned to Yuki, clearly panicked. "We have to make chocolates for everyone!" She scrambled out of bed, seeming to forget the serious conversation that had just occurred. "I've got to make chocolates for everyone!"
Yuki couldn't help but to smile and shake her head. She looked at Kaname. "What are we going to do?"
"I'll contact the others." Kaname said. "I'll have them start looking for Jadoku. Mikiri's group is already looking as is Shuuchi's family. Don't worry, Yuki." He said, pulling Yuki to his side. "I won't allow our little girl to disappear."
