"Senna!" Yuki cried out as Senna appeared on the doorstep. She scooped the little vampire up and hugged her tightly. "Don't you ever wander off like that again! I was so worried!"
"Sorry." Senna muttered softly. She blinked when she saw the large number of suitcases in the entryway. "What's going on? Are we going on a trip?"
"Something like that." Yuki said with a nervous smile. She frowned as Kaname appeared in the entryway with Seiren and Aidou close behind him. "I don't like this. We shouldn't bring her with us."
Kaname raised an eyebrow, his arms folded across his chest. "You think it would be better to leave her here all alone?"
"Well, no, but…" Yuki huffed in frustration, stomping her foot on the ground. "It's too dangerous!"
"I'd like to know what's going on." Senna chimed in. "If that's not too much trouble."
"You and I are going to have a long talk in the car about running off." Kaname said, fixing Senna with a level look. "As for where we are going, Rima may have found a lead as to where Jadoku is. We're going to hunt him down and find your cure."
"Oh." Was all Senna could think to say. She wriggled out of Yuki's grasp. "Well, let's go." She frowned as she looked around the front yard. "Where's Fluffy?"
"Fluffy?" Yuki questioned.
Senna nodded her head. "The pretty black dog that always follows me. He's really nice." She missed the mortified look on Aidou's face and Kaname biting back his laughter.
As soon as all the luggage was loaded, the group piled into the car. Senna was squished between Yuki and Kaname while Aidou drove and Seiren rode in the front. Senna looked up at Kaname. "Is it just us going?"
Kaname glanced down at her and patted her head. "No. Akatsuki and the others will be there, including Shuuchi." He didn't miss how Senna's eyes lit up in pure delight. He made a note to have a…talk with the young vampire boy about Senna. "Mikiri and the other hunters will be doing their own separate search."
Senna's happy face fell away. She had been hoping to see not only Mikiri, but Zero and Touga as well. She drifted off into her own world at that point. She hadn't realized just how long she had been daydreaming before they pulled up to the train station.
"Hold my hand, Senna." Yuki said as they stepped out of the car. She gripped Senna's hand firmly in hers while Kaname took Senna's other free hand.
The train seemed much bigger to Senna this time around. She realized it was probably due to the fact that she was no longer in a teenage body. Her eyes lit up when she saw the rather large group standing on the platform while other people paused to stare at them. She tugged Yuki and Kaname along impatiently, leaving Aidou and Seiren to deal with the luggage. "Senri!"
Senri was able to prepare himself for the tackle this time. He scooped Senna up into his arms. "Hello again, Senna. Did you get in trouble?"
"Not really." Senna grinned proudly. She yelped as someone smacked her on the head. She turned around to shout at them but quickly shut her mouth when she saw it was Kaname.
"Don't think you're off the hook." Kaname said with an eerie smile. "I will deal with you shortly. Shall we go then?"
Senna whimpered and clung desperately to Senri. She smiled at Shuuchi and waved at him. "Where's Jiro, Carine, and Kijuu?"
Shuuchi walked alongside Senri, not missing the way Senri tightened his grip on Senna. "They're working with their families to try and find more information about Jadoku."
The group was escorted to their car. Ruka, Rima, Senri, and Akatsuki went into one compartment while Yuki and Kaname led Senna into another followed closely by Shuuchi and Seiren. Poor Aidou was left alone with the luggage.
"I want the window seat!" Senna shouted as she rushed into the compartment. She climbed up onto the seat and pressed her face to the window, excited for the train to start. She wasn't even fazed when Kaname lifted her up long enough for him to sit down before allowing her to stand on his legs. "We're really high up." Senna whispered in awe.
"Please don't climb out the window again." Yuki pleaded.
Senna was about to retort back when the sound of a crash and struggle in the compartment next to theirs shut her up. She was the first out the door. She rushed into the hallway and blinked, taking a moment to register the sight before her.
Aidou was laying face first in the carpeted floor, a shotgun barrel against his head.
"Ah, Senna, there you are." Touga nodded to the shocked little girl. "Do you happen to know where Kaname is?"
Senna nodded and pointed to the compartment as the door opened.
Kaname looked down at Aidou and then back to Touga. "What's the meaning of this?"
Touga lifted the barrel of his gun off of Aidou's head and allowed the vampire to stand up. "Our boss has ordered us to come with you."
"Us?" Senna asked. She walked past Touga into the compartment Aidou had once occupied. Her eyes widened when she saw two very familiar people sitting in the compartment. "Zero-nichan! Mikiri!"
I know, I know, it's short. I've got to outline this little filler arc so please bear with me! Reviews are loved and appreciated!
