Sakura02: It probably sounded like cops because I was watching a Cops marathon while I was writing. XD

Akiko Kashikoi: I think Kaname doesn't mind Senna wanting a boyfriend. Him allowing her to have one is another matter entirely.

elie: I update when I can and that's all I can promise. I'm a full time college student, I have a job, and I'm writing my own novel. All of that comes before my fanfics, so I can only update when I have a free moment.

"Wake up, little one."

Senna groaned and curled herself into an tight ball beneath her soft down blankets. It had been a week since they had returned from finding Jadoku. She hadn't seen or heard from Zero or anyone else since. Her hair was now the exact same as Kaname's and Yuki's and her eyes were a soft pink much like Shizuka's had been.

She hoped that whoever was trying to gently shake her awake would just give up. It seemed that her wish was not to be granted. The person was sitting on the bed now and playing with her long brown hair. Senna rolled onto her back and slowly opened her eyes. She rubbed the sleep from her eyes and frowned sleepily up at Kaname. "What's wrong, Kaname?"

Kaname smiled and kissed Senna's forehead. "I'm going to be leaving for a bit. I just wanted to say goodbye to my cute little daughter."

Senna's glare was dampened by her sleepiness. "You had to wake me up for that?" She held her arms out and allowed Kaname to pick her up from her warm bed. She glanced over Kaname's shoulder at her window and could just make out the sun. "The sun hasn't even set yet…"

"I know." Kaname sighed, smoothing Senna's bed hair down. "I'm sorry I woke you so early. How are you feeling?"

"Tired…" Senna mumbled, her arms wrapped loosely around Kaname's neck. "I think I'm starting to get stronger, though. I don't feel as weak anymore."

Kaname nodded absently, patting Senna's back. He walked towards his and Yuki's room. "That's good. You must make sure to continue eating. It will help you keep your strength up until we can find a permanent solution."

Senna wiggled out of Kaname's arms and opened the door to the room. She rushed over to the bed where Yuki was still sound asleep. She climbed up onto the bed and snuggled against Yuki. "Wake up, Yuki. Kaname is leaving."

Yuki hugged Senna close to her and let out a reluctant sigh. She groggily sat up with Senna still in her arms. "Just give me a minute."

Kaname chuckled and left the room. He didn't bother mentioning how both girls looked equally disoriented when they were woken up before they were ready. He didn't want to get glared at by both girls.

Senna sat on the bed and waited patiently for Yuki to slip on her robe. "Can we go outside and play today, Yuki?"

Yuki smiled sadly and picked the little girl up. She rubbed their noses together affectionately. "I don't think Kaname would want us to do that."

"Kaname is no fun." Senna pouted. She wrapped her arms around Yuki's neck and allowed the teenager to carry her out of the room.

Kaname smiled at the two girls and hugged them. "I'm sorry you think I'm not fun, Senna." Kaname took Senna from Yuki and kissed the little girl's nose. "Please behave yourself while I'm gone."

"Yes sir." Senna mumbled reluctantly. She gagged when Yuki and Kaname kissed each other.

Kaname smiled at Yuki and ruffled Senna's hair. "I'm sorry I woke the both of you up so early. Be good girls and stay inside." He gave Yuki one more kiss and Senna another hug before heading towards the door. "Oh, I left something on your desk for you, Yuki. I wasn't sure if I should give it to you, but I meant everything I said to you earlier. You may use it however you wish. Senna, there's something there for you too."

Senna blinked and watched the door shut behind Kaname. She looked up curiously at Yuki. "What is Kaname talking about?"

Yuki shook her head and took Senna's hand. "Nothing for you to worry about, Senna. Let's go see what Kaname left us." Yuki dragged Senna back up the stairs and to her room. She absently handed Senna a small wooden box.

"My stick!" Senna squealed with delight and hugged the silver stick tightly to her chest. "What'd Kaname leave you, Yuki?" She frowned when Yuki said nothing. "What's wrong, Yuki?"

Yuki clutched Artemis tightly in her hands and frowned. "Senna, I'm going out for a bit. You stay here and study."

Senna rolled her eyes, already heading towards the door and back towards her room. "That's not happening. You better not leave me." She skipped to her room and quickly changed into a simple blue dress. She tugged on her heaviest coat and tugged on her leather boots that Kaname insisted she wear when it was cold outside.

"Not you too!" Aidou protested when he saw Senna skipping down the stairs towards him and Yuki.

Yuki smiled over at Senna and held her hand out. "Let's go, Senna. We'll be back soon."

Senna's eyes lit up when she saw the dog sitting outside, waiting expectantly for them. Senna ran over and threw her arms around the dog's neck. "Fluffy!"

Aidou flinched at the two girls that were busy snuggling the giant dog. "Um…you two do know that's…" He trailed off when he realized the two girls weren't even listening to him. "You two are hopeless."

"I know it's Kaname-sama's familiar." Yuki said softly.

Senna yelped and stumbled back when the giant dog turned into thousands of bats. She watched the bats wrap tightly around Yuki and capture the girl. "Yuki!"

"Please forgive me, Kaname-sama." Yuki said just before punching the swirling bats away.

"That was so cool, Yuki!" Senna cheered. She ran over and latched onto Yuki's hand. "So, where are we going?"

Yuki smiled down at the little girl and quickly set off at a run. "Just stay close to me, okay?"

The two ran and ran until they finally reached the town at the bottom of the mountain. Senna looked over her shoulder and grinned. "Hi, Aidou-nichan! You sure can run fast."

Aidou glared at the two girls. "Do you know how worried Kaname-sama is going to be about the two of you?"

Yuki simply blinked blankly at Aidou. "Hey, how do I buy train tickets? I want to go to this place on the roster, but I've never bought a train ticket by myself before."

Aidou stared between the two girls. "Do you have any idea what she's trying to do?" Aidou asked Senna.

Senna shook her head, her grin still in place. "Nope, but I bet it's more fun than staying at the house. Are you gonna help us buy tickets or not?"

Aidou sighed and reluctantly nodded his head. "Fine. Will you at least tell me what it is you're planning?"

Yuki finally explained what she was planning to both Aidou and Senna. Senna's eyes widened with each word that came out of Yuki's mouth. They remained silent while they purchased their tickets and boarded the train.

Senna's stomach growled just as the food cart rolled by their cabin. "Yuki, I'm hungry."

Yuki smiled at the little girl. "Hold on."

Senna sat beside Aidou and leaned against the irritated vampire's side. "You didn't have come with us, Aidou-nichan."

Aidou rolled his eyes and smacked Senna upside the head. "Yes I did. Kaname-sama left me in charge of the two of you."

Yuki came back over with food for both herself and Senna. Senna squealed gleefully and took the sandwich from Yuki's outstretched hand. "So, why didn't Kaname stop us from going? I mean, if he really didn't want us to go, he should've stopped us."

"He probably wanted to see what I would do." Yuki said softly. Nobody said anything after that until they got off the train and reached their destination.

Senna looked up at the giant mansion with wide eyes. "We're going to get eaten, aren't we." A soft chuckle startled Senna, though Aidou and Yuki didn't seem surprised by the man standing at the gate of the mansion.

The Pureblood smiled politely at the three. "I am the master of this house, Shoto Isaya. I just woke up recently only to find myself two thousand years older. I'm rather old, even for a Pureblood."

Yuki bowed politely. "I'm Kuran Yuki. I'm seventeen." She looked pointedly at Senna.

Senna quickly bowed. "I'm Kuran Senna. I'm…" She looked curiously up at Aidou. "How old am I?"

Yuki smiled. "We'll go with seven." She turned back to Isaya and gave him an apologetic smile. "I'm sorry that we could not meet at the soiree."

Isaya inclined his head. "I heard Ouri and a Hunter lost their lives there. By the way, what is it you have in your bag?"

Yuki's face turned serious. "This is Artemis." She said, pulling the weapon from her purse. She released Artemis into its true form and looked Isaya straight in the eye. "Have you ever wanted to die?"

"We're gonna get eaten…" Senna mumbled, scooting closer to Aidou.

Isaya frowned. "Are you referring to what happened with Ouri? Whether he took an active roll in what happened or not, I find the act of desiring death to be rather distasteful. Now, why are you here with something like that in your hand?"

Yuki smiled reassuringly over at Senna. "I decided I don't want something like that to ever happen again. I don't want Purebloods to create victims to fulfill their urge to die. I will bear the responsibility of ending your life for you. Whenever you're in need, please think of me."

Senna groaned at the mildly irritated look on Isaya's face. For once, she wished she had listened to Kaname and just stayed home.
