Senna hummed happily to herself as she made her way to the door. She was bundled up for the cold weather with a faux fur trimmed coat and hood (she had thrown a fit when Kaname tried to buy her a coat with real fur) and matching mittens. Clutched in her hand was a small basket filled with little packages of chocolate she had made herself. She was quite proud of the final result, especially since hers had come out better than Yuki's. Now, the only issue was how to get them to everyone. She had already given Aidou his but she hadn't been able to find Kaname. She simply left his chocolates at his study desk. She blinked slightly at the bright light of the fading sun as she stepped outside, only to find the black dog from before sitting there. "Oh, hi."

The dog tilted its head to the side and stared at her.

"I'm going to go find everyone and give them their chocolates for Valentine's Day." Senna explained as she began walking away from the mansion. "I'll be back soon so don't worry."

The dog walked beside her, nudging its head under Senna's hand.

Senna scratched the dog behind its ear and smiled. "You want to come with me? I promise I won't get lost this time." She swore the dog rolled its eyes but quickly shook it off. Dogs couldn't roll their eyes. "Let's see…we should go find Senri-nichan first." Having decided, Senna headed off in the direction of the town.

It didn't take very long for Senna to find the town with the help of the dog. She grinned as she saw people bustling around. "There's a lot of people around today."

"Senna, what are you doing here by yourself?" Akatsuki blinked as Senna spun around and hugged him. He smiled and patted the little vampire's head. "Does Kaname-sama know you're out here?" He frowned as Senna simply grinned up at him. "Senna…"

"It's okay!" Senna cut in. "I've got Fluffy with me!"

Akatsuki glanced at the black dog. He sighed. "What are you doing here?" He asked again.

"Oh!" Senna fished around in her basket before pulling out a small package with Akatsuki's name messily scribbled on it. "I made chocolates for everyone! These are for you!"

Akatsuki smiled as he took the package from Senna. He knelt down and kissed her on the head. "Thank you, Senna. Who else are you looking for?"

"Let's see…Senri-nichan, Rima-neechan, Ruka-neechan, Shuuchi, Mikiri, Touga darling, and…" Her voice trailed off as she thought of the last two. "Zero-nichan and Ichi-nichan."

"Well, I don't know about the last four, but I can at least help you with everyone else." Akatsuki looked up and frowned when he noticed the dog was gone. "Senna, your dog…"

Senna grinned up at Akatsuki as she took his hand. "It's okay. He does that sometimes. I think he just likes to make sure I'm okay before he leaves me. He must trust you, Akatsuki-nichan."

Akatsuki gave a half smile as he began leading Senna through the town. He looked down at the little vampire child happily skipping along beside him. It had been quite a while since he'd been able to see her. Seeing her bright smile as she hummed to herself, Akatsuki realized just how much he had missed the little troublemaker. "How's Aidou doing?"

"He's as mean as ever." Senna answered, puffing her cheeks out. "He's always yelling at me and telling me I'm doing my work wrong. I wish you and everyone else could come live with us. You'd play with me, right, Akatsuki-nichan?"

"Of course." Akatsuki pulled Senna to a stop just beside the fountain in the middle of the town. "I'm supposed to meet Ruka and the others here for…" He trailed off, wondering whether or not he should say anything to Senna.

Senna tilted her head to the side as she continued walking with Akatsuki. "Are you looking for Jadoku too? I read the folder." She said when she saw Akatsuki's surprised look. "I already know…I'm going to die soon."

Akatsuki squeezed her hand tightly. He would've said something had it not been for Ruka appearing around the corner, huffing and puffing, clearly annoyed.

"It's rude to leave a lady on her own like that." Ruka snapped. She stumbled back and nearly fell when Senna hugged her. "Oh. That explains everything. You must be miserable there if you're hugging me."

"It's not that bad." Senna said slowly as she began to rummage through her basket. "It's just boring. The only time I have fun is when Kaname tells everyone to play with me. Otherwise, Aidou-nichan's always whining or Yuki-neechan is climbing all over Kaname. I wonder if it's weird that I call her Yuki-neechan since she's supposed to be my mom. I don't wanna call her mom though. That'd be even weirder. Here's your chocolate, Ruka-neechan."

"You haven't changed a bit." Ruka muttered as she took the chocolate, patting Senna on the head absentmindedly.

"Ah, Senna, what are you doing here?" Rima asked as she watched Senna tackle the unsuspecting Senri to the ground.

Senri sat up and rubbed his head. He frowned as he looked at Senna's eyes that were turning a strange pink silver color. "So, it's really true."

"Don't be sad, Senri-nichan!" Senna wailed as she flung her arms around his neck. "I don't wanna be a Pureblood! I wanna be your clone!"

"Oi, don't cry." Senri sighed as he stood up and held Senna. "You still look cute."

Senna sniffled and looked up at him with watery eyes. "You'll still be my Senri-nichan, right?"

"Of course." Senri blinked as a small package was shoved into his face. He took it and sniffed it. "I smell chocolate."

"I made them all by myself. Kaname said they're yummy." Senna said as she handed Rima her package. "So, why are all of you meeting up? Did you guys find Jadoku already?"

Before anyone could respond, Shuuchi came running up. His eyes lit up when he saw Senna. "Senna, what are you doing here?"

"She got loose." Ruka rolled her eyes as Senna held up the chocolates she had made for Shuuchi to the overly excited vampire boy. "Honestly, does Kaname even know you're out here." At Senna's silence, Ruka let out an incredulous shriek. "You march yourself back to the mansion right now!"

"I don't wanna!" Senna stomped her foot for emphasis. "I still have to find Mikiri and…well…a few other people."

Rima raised an eyebrow as she attempted to swat Senri's hand away from her box of chocolates. "You aren't going to look for that hunter and Ichijo, are you."

Senna was silent for a moment before pointing towards the entrance of the town. "Naked Kaname!" While all the other vampires' heads whipped around to the entrance, Senna made a mad dash for the opposite direction. She finally stopped after she had zigzagged through multiple alleyways. She rested against the side of building to catch her breath.

"Hey, kid, you've got a lot of nice stuff." A man leered down at Senna, holding his hand out. "Why don't you be a good girl and hand it all over."

Senna looked at the man blankly. "Do you know where Kiryuu Zero lives? I'm looking for him."

The man was slightly taken aback for a moment before glaring down at Senna. He grabbed her shoulder roughly. "Didn't you hear me, kid? I said give me your stuff."

"Let go." Senna said, trying to shake the man's arm off. "I don't have time to play with you."

"You little…" The man brought his hand up but froze when he felt the cold barrel of a gun against the back of his head and heard the click of said gun being cocked.

"Step away from Senna right now."

"Mikiri!" Senna squealed in delight. She grinned as the man scurried away before latching onto the young vampire hunter. "Are you here to talk to Shuuchi and the others too? Akatsuki-nichan said you guys were looking for Jadoku too."

"We're not working with them." Mikiri said. He blinked as Senna shoved a small pink package into his hand. "What are these?"

"They're chocolates for Valentine's Day." Senna stated, missing the blush on Mikiri's face. "Hey, Mikiri, do you know where Zero-nichan and Touga-darling are? I still need to give them their chocolates."

"Oh, um," Mikiri shook himself from his stupor and smiled at Senna. "I was actually on my way to meet up with Zero-san….did you just call Touga 'darling'?"

"Yup." Senna grinned as she took Mikiri's hand. She looked around as Mikiri led her towards a dilapidated looking building. She stayed close to Mikiri as he led her into the building and up to the topmost floor. She rocked on her heels as Mikiri knocked on the door.

Zero didn't even have time to prepare himself as he suddenly was tackled to the ground (much like Senri). He frantically began looking around from Bloody Rose when a box was suddenly shoved in his face. Crossing his eyes, he finally saw who his attacker was. "Senna?"

Senna grinned as she sat on Zero's chest and held out the box of chocolates. "Happy Valentine's Day, Zero-nichan!"

Zero sat up with Senna sliding into his lap. He rubbed the back of his head. "Kaname let you come all the way out here just to give me chocolates?" At Senna's nervous silence, he couldn't help but to smirk. "I've taught you well."

Mikiri stood uncomfortably in the doorway as he watched Zero stand up with Senna in his arms. "Um, we didn't find any clues at the old lab."

Zero nodded. "I expected as much." He frowned when he noticed a wisp of Senna's hair sticking out from her hood. He shoved the hood off of her head, his frown deepening at how much darker her hair was, not to mention her eyes…and her scent… "What happened to you?"

Senna immediately lowered her eyes and squeezed them shut tightly. "Nothing…"

Mikiri frowned. "Didn't you get a copy of the folder?" He didn't notice the panicked look on Senna's face. "Senna's DNA is changing. It seems Rido and Shizuka's DNA is overpowering Senri's."

Senna flinched as Zero immediately sat her on the ground and clenched his fists at his side. "Please don't hate me, Zero-nichan! I don't wanna become a Pureblood! I'm really scared, Zero-nichan! I'm changing and I don't feel good all the time and I'm going to die really soon and I'm really scared! So please, please don't hate me! I don't…I can't…" Her voice broke up as she began crying.

Zero stood there for a moment, watching the small vampire child cry. "Mikiri, go find Shuuchi and the others. They're probably looking for her."

Mikiri hesitated, worried to leave Senna with the unreadable Hunter. At the nasty glare he received, however, he quickly bolted out of the room.

Senna rubbed at her eyes with her still mitten covered hands. She knew Zero would hate her. Even though she had known it, it didn't make it any less painful. She blinked through her teary eyes as both of Zero's hands trapped her head between them. Was he going to kill her?

Zero leaned forward and rested his forehead against Senna's. "Why are you crying?"

Senna sniffled as she looked into Zero's eyes. "Because you hate me now."

Zero shook his head and wiped the little girl's tears away. "No, I don't. Calm down. Tell me everything." He led Senna over to the bed and sat on the edge with her beside him.

Senna took a deep breath to calm herself before she launched into everything that had happened since the ball. She even told Zero her dreams. She looked at his face, waiting for the hatred to appear. When she finished, Senna waited with bated breath for Zero to speak.

Zero stared at the wall for a moment, his face unreadable. Finally he looked down at Senna and placed a hand on her head. "You aren't going to die. We'll figure something out. Don't be scared."

Senna finally relaxed. She leaned against Zero's side and wrapped her arms around his waist and buried her face in his side. "I'm sorry."

"For what?" Zero asked.

"I have her eyes now…or…I will anyways. I'm becoming a Pureblood. I'm going to be what you hate the most." Senna whispered.

Zero sad nothing for a moment. He glanced over at Senna's basket that still had two packages left. "Who are those for?"

"Touga-darling and Ichi-nichan." Senna answered. She hopped off the bed and grabbed one of the packages before returning to Zero. "Can you give Touga-darling his chocolate?"

Before Zero could respond, Mikiri appeared with a clearly distressed Shuuchi and apathetic Senri behind him. "Looks like your friends are here."

Senna rushed over to Senri and Shuuchi, a sheepish grin on her face. "Sorry."

"Ruka's going to kill you." Senri stated plainly while Shuuchi fussed over Senna. "We better get you home before Aidou gets beat up for losing you again. Oh, we found your dog."

"Fluffy!" Senna threw her arms around the big black dog. "Did you have fun today."

The dog simply picked up Senna's basket and trotted off with Senna close behind him. Shuuchi and Mikiri were close on their heels to make sure Senna didn't run off again. Senri stared at the two packages of chocolate in Zero's hands. "Are those both yours?"

"No. One's for Touga." Zero answered.

Senri looked at the pink package with the red ribbon on it and then back at Zero. "You aren't going to give that to him, are you?"

"Hell no."
