I'm sorry for being gone so long. Hope you'll all enjoy this chapter!

L1L Lynn: Yuki's name can either be spelled with one 'u' or two. I just prefer to spell it with one.

Sakura02: Lol, Senri is going to have to give her an updated version of her anti stick so she can just beat all the Purebloods.

LittleSparkle: I think Kaname was actually the one that broke the window. Yuki was just kind of upset and confused at that point.

"Senna, how can you sit here so calmly?" Aidou shrieked, waving his arms around frantically. "You realize we are being arrested and taken in for questioning!"

Senna looked curiously at Aidou from her spot on the bench beside Zero. They were currently in the back of a barred carriage which the Hunters usually used for carting around arrested vampires. "I'm not the one that made Zero-nichan mad. You shouldn't have said anything about Yuki-neechan's blood being on him."

"Both of you be quiet or I'm going to taser you again, Aidou." Zero said coolly.

"Why not her?" Aidou wailed.

Senna stuck her tongue out at Aidou. "Zero-nichan won't hurt me because I'm adorable."

Zero looked down at her. "Don't push your luck."

Aidou huffed and plopped down on the seat opposite Zero and Senna. He glared at Zero in pure annoyance. "Neither I nor Senna have done anything that goes against regulations. I trust Senna and I will be treated as guests."

Zero had to bite back a smirk. "Senna will. Not you, though. Any trumped up charges will do for you."

"That's not very nice, Zero-nichan." Senna chastised. She quickly shut her mouth when Zero shot her with a look. She hadn't been tased like Aidou had, but it didn't look very pleasant.

Zero gave Senna a quick nod before glancing back over at Aidou. "Stop looking at me like you have something to say."

Aidou pouted. "If I were you, I'd fight to take her back, no matter how many times it took."

The rest of the ride to the Hunter's Society was silent. Senna snuggled against Zero's side and dozed. She knew that despite all his threats, Zero wouldn't really hurt Aidou…not too badly anyways. She played with Zero's hand and hummed quietly to entertain herself.

As soon as they entered the Hunter Society, Zero scooped her up under one arm and pointed the Bloody Rose at Aidou's back with his other. Senna shuddered and hugged Zero's arm tightly. "Zero-nichan, I don't like it here. This place makes my tummy hurt."

"Could you put the gun down and give her to me?" Aidou asked impatiently.

Zero hesitated for a minute before complying. He had to struggle with Senna for a moment to get her to release her grip on his arm. Once he'd handed her over to Aidou, he put his gun away. "This place is full of weapons that can kill vampires."

Aidou smoothed Senna's hair down and nodded. "It's making my skin crawl and apparently making Senna sick."

"That's because the source of our weapons, the 'ancestor metal', is housed here." Zero explained.

Senna tilted her head to the side. "What's 'ancestor metal'? It doesn't sound very nice."

"It's not for us." Aidou answered coolly. "It's not something you need to worry about, Senna."

Zero frowned and ignored Aidou. He focused his attention completely on the curious vampire child. "A long time ago, there was a woman who came to the humans to give us a countermeasure against the vampires. She was one of the first vampires. The humans were powerless against the former-human vampires. The female gave her own blood to a small number of humans. It was enough to act as a deadly poison."

Aidou sighed impatiently. "The ones who survived became the ancestors of the vampire hunters. I already knew that."

Senna pouted and waved her finger impatiently at Aidou. "Well, I didn't. Be quiet so I can hear Zero-nichan."

Zero gave Aidou a smirk before continuing. "That woman's last act was tear out her own heart and throw it into a furnace of molten metal."

"That's so sad…" Senna said quietly, earning her an annoyed look from Aidou and a barely there smile from Zero.

"At least she's able to mourn that woman's sacrifice." Zero said with a small sense of pride seeping through. "Her blood whispers at us to never forgive the vampires for being inhuman."

Aidou rolled his eyes and adjusted Senna in his arms. "I think the inhuman one here is the person pointing a gun at a perfectly innocent person."

Senna looked down to see that Zero was indeed still pointing his gun at Aidou. She fixed both boys with a stern scowl. "Both of you play nice. We're all friends here."

"You're friends with everyone." Aidou corrected. "The rest of us can barely tolerate each other."

"Zero!" Kaito came suddenly around the corner, a scowl on his face. "Weren't you supposed to be resting?"

Zero stared blankly at Kaito for a moment. He picked both Aidou and Senna up by the scruffs of their necks. "I caught one of Kuran's lackeys and his adopted daughter. I thought I would ask the lackey a few questions."

Kaito nodded slowly. "What about the kid?"

Zero looked down at Senna's wide eyes and shrugged. "I doubt she knows much of anything."

Senna waved sheepishly at Kaito. It'd been a while since she'd seen the Hunter. She still didn't know much about the man other than that he looked a lot like Senri. "I don't know anything, honest. Kaname doesn't tell me anything."

Kaito smirked eerily. "That's fine. Follow me."

Zero handed Senna back over to Aidou and remained behind the two vampires while Kaito led the way. Senna wriggled around impatiently until Aidou put her down on the ground. She held the irritated vampire's hand and skipped along. "Hey, Kaito-san, why do want to question Aidou-nichan?"

Kaito glanced over his shoulder at the curious little vampire. "Tell me, do you know if Kuran-san is going to be opposing us in the future."

Aidou slapped a hand over Senna's mouth and glared at Kaito. "Where did you get information like that?"

Kaito shrugged casually. "Nowhere special. Now then, Zero, why don't you take Senna somewhere else while I have a…talk with our friend here."

Senna grinned and took Zero's hand, completely missing the terrified look on Aidou's face as Kaito led him away.
