Sorry for not updating for a couple of weeks. Things have been hectic at school what with all my professors deciding to have tests and projects due now. Plus, I got my tattoo which is itching like crazy! Thank you for all being so patient with me :)
Sakura02: Why am I now picturing Aidou driving down I-35 screaming at people?
Nalondria: The dog is actually Kaname :)
i-heart-kaoru: Lol, yeah, the manga was only about three chapters ahead of where we were so we're doing a filler arc.

Zero grunted as Senna's tiny body collided with him. He patted the little vampire's head. "It's not like I haven't seen you in forever."
Senna sniffled as she snuggled closer to Zero. "But I miss you! I don't get to see you that much anymore! What are you guys doing here anyway?"
"I already told you; we've been ordered to come along and assist in the disposal of Jadoku." Toga couldn't help cracking a small smile when Senna latched onto him. He ruffled her hair. "It's good to see you too, Senna."
"Why don't you come in and talk." Kaname said softly, biting back a laugh as Aidou tried to pull himself from the floor with as much dignity as he could muster. "Senna, go explore the train while we discuss business."
Senna pouted, standing in the hallway as Kaname rounded everyone up and into his compartment. She would've protested but the firm look Kaname sent her before shutting the door silenced her. With a huff, Senna spun on her heel and stormed off down the hallway.
Despite her sour mood, Senna enjoyed exploring the train. She explored the different first class cars where no one was in the hallways though she could hear the voices of people in their compartments. She moved onto the dining cart where she found people eating a late lunch/early dinner. She managed to sneak a piece of cake off one of the carts. She smiled as she continued her exploration of the train, happily munching on the delicious cake.
Eventually, Senna grew bored and decided to go back. She frowned as she made her way back to the carts, unsure of which cart she belonged in. "Kaname? Yuki? Hello?"
"What do we have here?" A police officer knelt down in front of Senna, a warm smile on his face. "Are you lost?"
Senna sniffled and nodded her head. "I can't find my family."
The officer smiled. "Why don't you tell me their names and we'll go find them together, okay?"
"Well, there's Kaname and I guess he's kind of like my daddy. He and Yuki adopted me. They're brother and sister but they love each other. Like, really love each other. Except I think Kaname likes Zero-nichan. Zero-nichan acts like he doesn't like Kaname but I think he does. They bite each other sometime and one time, Kaname threw Zero-nichan through the bathroom wall. They're really rough with each other sometime but I think they both like it rough. I think that makes Aidou-nichan jealous sometimes 'cause he doesn't like Zero-nichan. Aidou-nichan lives with Kaname, Yuki, and I. He's my teacher but he's really mean and doesn't like playing with me. But that's okay, 'cause Senri-nichan and Rima-neechan came with us this time. Oh and Ruka-neechan and Akatsuki-nichan. And then Shuuchi and Mikiri came too. And Toga-darling is here too. He used to be my teacher but now he just beats up Aidou-nichan."
The officer's eyes grew wider and wider as Senna continued to ramble on.
"There you are, Senna." Kaname appeared suddenly, a scowl on his face.
The officer straightened. "Okay, who are you? Are you her father that isn't her real father or are you the one that her father that isn't her father likes to bite and throw through walls?"
Kaname's frown deepened as he looked at Senna. "I'm Kaname, her legal guardian."
"Sir, I don't think I can in good conscience release this child to you." The officer said firmly. "I don't think she's being raised in a healthy environment."
"What's going on?" Zero asked as he appeared.
"Who's this?" The officer asked.
"Zero-nichan!" Senna squealed. She spun around the officer and latched onto Zero's waist. "What are you guys doing here?"
"You were taking too long to get back and Yuki was getting worried." Zero muttered. He frowned as the officer suddenly got in his face. "Can I help you?" He snarled out.
"You're the one that likes being thrown through bathroom walls?" The officer asked.
Zero glared down at the small vampire child clinging to him. "What the hell have you been telling him?"
"Kiryuu, would you mind taking Senna back to the cart while I…straighten things out with the officer?"
"Sure." Zero muttered. He grabbed Senna's hand and tugged her through the compartments. "I don't even want to know what you said to that man or what goes on in that little mind of yours."
Senna giggled and squeezed Zero's hand. "Sorry. I talk a lot when I get nervous. I was really scared I wasn't going to find you guys."
Zero rolled his eyes. He stopped long enough to pick Senna up before he continued walking. "Did you think we wouldn't find you?"
Senna shrugged. She wrapped her arms around Zero's neck and fiddled with his hair. "I don't know. I know I annoy you guys a lot. Sometimes, I get scared that one day you guys will just leave me."
"Please, Yuki wouldn't ever let us do that. She'd throw a fit." Zero smirked as Senna giggled. "You aren't getting away from us that easy."
"Zero-nichan, do you think we'll find Jadoku?" Senna asked.
Before Zero could answer, they reached the compartment where Yuki was worriedly pacing the hallway. Yuki's eyes lit up as she rushed over and took Senna from Zero. "I was so worried, Senna! Are you okay?"
"I'm fine." Senna grinned. "There was a really nice officer that helped me."
"Senna," Kaname came up behind them, an eerie smile on his face. "We're going to have a long talk."
Senna couldn't help but shudder.
