georgisakura: Don't worry! Senna won't die…yet
IAmABoredGirlWithNothingToDo: Aw, I've been sick the past couple of weeks too! It sucks!
Sakura02: I guess it would be Kuran right now since Kaname and Yuki are her legal guardians. I think I would cry and hide if I ever saw Kaname running towards me. You gave me nightmares after I read your review!
Shiki and Ichijo Forever: She's not dying anytime soon! Don't worry :)
Princesa de la Luna: Thank you.
Shifuni: Thanks :)
InsaneArtist96: Yeah, Zero's a bit of a cranky pants right now. He just wants to go home and be emo.
rockbabyval: Thank you for being so patient for this chapter.
Glass Rose-Yuri Ziako-Lone Sol: Lol, Zero doesn't have much patience for small children running on roofs apparently.
SolitaryNyght: Thank you
ChristiVKnight: She's not dying…yet. Although, you do have a point about it adding drama…hmmm….
VK Luver: That question will be answered later in the story :)
guardianranger: Nope. It's never good when small children get that pale…
Cuttlefish Shiz: She'll be fine…eventually :)
XeniaKunoichi: Don't worry! She's not dying right now! Maybe later, but not now!
01Shadow Angel: She'll be fine! :)
Fangferret: Ha, Senri probably figures since she's his clone, she likes pocky just as much as him. Yeah, I'm not a huge fan of Kaname either so I try and make him a little more bearable in the story.
christian: Thank you :)
Senna whined as she slowly came to. She blinked as she tried to reorient herself. She didn't remember much, just that she'd been racing Kaname and then Zero had yanked her back into the train. Everything after that was nothing but darkness.
"Hey, Senna." Yuki said softly when she saw the little girl opening her eyes. Senna's head had been using Yuki's lap as a pillow while Yuki had given Senna her heavy jacket as a blanket. "How are you feeling?"
"Okay…" Senna mumbled. She didn't want to move. She was rather comfortable where she was. "Where are we? Where is everyone?"
Yuki smiled as the light that was usually in Senna's eyes began to return. "We've stopped at a station and the others went to stretch their legs. They should be back shortly."
Senna nodded and rolled onto her back, staring blankly up at the ceiling. "Yuki, what if Jadoku doesn't have my cure? What if he's destroyed it? What if I die?"
"Don't say things like that." Yuki said softly, stroking Senna's hair soothingly. "We'll find your cure. You aren't going to die. Not if we have anything to say about it."
Senna cracked a small smile. "Hey, Yuki, can you tell me a story about when you were little. How'd you meet Zero-nichan and Kaname?"
Yuki chewed her lip thoughtfully, unsure of where to begin. "Well, it all started on a snowy night…"
Senna listened with wide eyes and bated breath as Yuki launched into her story. She had never heard the story of Yuki's childhood before. When Yuki was finished talking, Senna simply stared at the teenage girl. "Why'd you pick Kaname over Zero-nichan?"
Yuki was baffled by the question. "Well…because I love Kaname-onisama."
"So, you don't love Zero-nichan?" Senna asked, frowning. She found the idea completely ridiculous. If she had to pick between Kaname or Zero, she'd would've picked Zero any day. Zero may have a tough exterior, but she knew he was kind deep down inside. As for Kaname, she had grown fairly attached to the Pureblood, but there was still something about him that troubled her. It always seemed like he was hiding something, even when he smiled.
"No…I mean…" Yuki fumbled for words, trying to pick them as carefully as possible. "I did love Zero…I still do even…I just…I love Kaname-onisama more."
"Oh…that's silly." Senna finally said. "That's not very fair to Kaname."
"What do you mean?" Yuki asked as Senna sat up.
Senna readjusted the jacket back around her so she was wrapped in a warm cocoon. "Well, if you still love Zero-nichan, then you haven't given your heart completely to Kaname. That's not fair to him. He's given you his heart…as much as Kaname can anyways."
Yuki opened her mouth to say something more when the others came back. Kaname, Senri, and Rima all entered the compartment and Yuki quickly plastered a smile to her face. "Did you all have fun?"
Senri scooped Senna up and sat her in his lap, jacket and all. "It was all right. How are you feeling?"
Senna smiled as she snuggled into Senri as the train began moving. "Good."
"What did you two do while we were gone?" Kaname asked, reaching over and ruffling Senna's hair.
Senna and Yuki looked at each other for a moment. "Oh…we just talked." Yuki finally said. She blinked as Senna hopped out of Senri's lap and back into hers. She smiled as Senna cuddled against her. "So, you aren't mad at me?"
"No." Senna looked up at Yuki with a wide smile. "I just think you teenagers are silly when it comes to stuff like that."
Yuki and Senna both giggled while Senri and Kaname looked each other and simply shrugged, not quite sure what was going on.
