Sakura02: Sorry about the emoness! You know that's what I'm best at writing, though :)

Thanks: Tailsdoll123, rockbabyval, perfectpanda37, Shifuni, MikaUchiha666, starred, petiteshima, Jestie Uchiha, Phoenix, Nuzu-baka, Midnight Blue Cross, and Princesa de la Luna for reviewing.


Senna frowned and blew a strand of brown hair from her face. She glared hatefully at her reflection in the window. Her hair was almost completely brown now, save for a few auburn highlights scattered throughout her hair. Her once silvery-grey eyes were now predominately pink, with only flecks of grey in them. She didn't mind her eyes as much as her hair. The pink matched the cherry blossom necklace that Shizuka had given her. It was her hair that disgusted her more than anything. It was becoming curly and wavy, just like Kaname's…just like Rido's.

"If you keep glaring at yourself like that, you'll break the window."

Senna whipped around and blushed. "Touga-sensei. Why aren't you with everyone else in town?"

Touga shrugged and plopped himself casually down in the seat across from Senna. He pushed his hat up so he could watch the little girl closely. "Someone needed to stay behind and keep an eye on you. Stop yanking on your hair like that."

"I don't like it." Senna pouted as she tried in vain to yank her hair straight. "I look like a dirty mop with this icky hair." She blinked as Touga chuckled. "I'm serious! I don't want to be Dirty Mop Jr. Jr."

Touga raised an eyebrow. "If you're Jr. Jr., who is Senior and who is the original junior?"

With a completely straight face, Senna said, "Rido is Dirty Mop Sr. and Kaname is Dirty Mop Jr."

Touga had to bite back a full blown laugh. He didn't think he'd be able to look at Kaname with a straight face for a while now. He quickly sobered up and watched as Senna resumed trying to yank her hair out of her skull. "Would you come here and knock it off?" He watched as Senna cautiously hopped off of her seat to stand in front of him, a strand of hair still clutched in her hand. He turned her around and pulled her hair back. He took a ponytail holder from his pocket and tied Senna's hair back. "There; now you don't look like a dirty mop."

Senna blinked and looked in the mirror. She'd never thought of just simply pulling her hair back. She rather liked the way a few strands of hair fell loose and curled against her cheeks. She grinned over at Touga. "Thanks! Now I…"

Touga frowned as Senna suddenly went rather pale. "What's wrong?" His eyes widened as Senna suddenly began coughing violently, bright red blood dripping from her mouth and down her chin. He moved forward and caught her as her face paled and she began falling forward. He pulled the tiny vampire child into his lap and carefully wiped the blood from her face.

Senna wasn't sure what had happened. One minute, she'd been talking to Touga, the next she woke up in his lap and was staring up into his stern face. She looked blearily around in confusion. "What happened?"

"You fainted." Touga grunted simply. "You haven't been out for long." He assured when he saw Senna's wide eyes. "Can you stand on your own?" When Senna nodded, he gently sat her on her own two feet and stood up. "Come on, we're going to meet the others at the hotel in town."

Senna blinked as Touga held his hand out to her. Slowly, she took his hand and allowed him to tug her out of the car. "Why are we staying at a hotel?"

Touga looked down at Senna's wide, curious eyes. He spoke slowly, watching as Senna's eyes widened in shock as he spoke. "We found Jadoku. He's somewhere here in this town."
