Sakura02: I know! I missed him!
Pandora Destiny: I'm sure Senna's older form will make another appearance before the end of this series :). I just recently got into Kuroshitsuji, so we'll have to see.

"Yuki-neechan, I look fine. Can we go now?" Senna asked impatiently, tapping her foot while Yuki finished adjusting the little girl's pink skirt. Senna tugged on her side ponytail. "Don't worry, Yuki-neechan. You've got me, Senri-nichan, Aidou-nichan, and Rima-neechan. We'll help you keep the others in line."

Yuki smiled at Senna. She hugged Senna to her and kissed Senna's cheek. "Thank you, Senna. You have no idea how much that means to me." She looked up at the light sound of knocking on the doorframe.

"Everyone is assembled." Aidou said.

Senna grinned and spun around, showing off her pink dress. "Don't I look pretty, Aidou-nichan?"

"You look like a pink nightmare." Aidou said, smiling indulgently at the little girl.

Yuki giggled and straightened up. She smoothed her skirt out, and took Senna's hand. "Well, let's go greet everyone." Yuki led Senna down the stairs and into the main area of the dormitory where all the vampires were assembled. Yuki inclined her head politely to everyone. "I thank you all for coming here. I know a great many of you might be confused since this is your first time in the dormitories or the classroom, so if you have any problems, then please count on me as the errand girl!"

Senna laughed. "I don't think that's what you were supposed to say, Yuki-neechan."

Yuki blinked curiously, looking between Senna's laughing face and Aidou's annoyed one. "It's not?"

"You should tell them to look up to you as a role model." Aidou sighed out irritably. "Or tell them you'll listen to their problems! You stupid pureblood!"

"I think what Yuki-neechan is trying to say is that we should all get along." She looked expectantly at all the assembled vampires. When she received no response, she took a hesitant step behind Yuki. "…or not."

"We came because we heard a pureblood was having problems." One female vampire said, motioning to a male vampire that was standing beside her.

Another female vampire spoke up. "I came because my brother and I have different views about the current situation. I thought that all purebloods were okay with letting dangerous vampires roam around and attack humans. I'm glad I came."

Yuki smiled, regaining her composure. "I would like to talk to each of you one at a time next time. I hope that there will come a day where we won't have to make such promises, but I'm sure you all came here acknowledging that promise; please do not touch any humans while in school. If a time comes where any of you break this promise, I will be the one to deal with you. I will do it before Hunter-san outside the door deals with you."

Zero didn't look up at any of the vampires that walked out. He glanced over when he felt Senna holding onto his hand and swinging herself back and forth. He pulled her up and held her in the crook of his arm. "…you're taller."

Senna flipped her ponytail over her shoulder. "I'm a growing girl."

"I'll say…" Zero would've cracked a smile if it weren't for Yuki walking out at that moment. He put Senna on the ground.

Yuki took Senna's hand back in hers. "I know what you're going to say; that there's no point in this game of school. After all, vampires are just beast in human form. They can't be trusted. Our viewpoints don't match up. Just like always…" She looked up when the sound of heels clacking got closer.

"I'm sorry I'm late." Maria smiled nervously at the group. "I hesitated on whether or not I should come, but I'd really like to make friends…" She watched Zero walk away without a word. "Is Ichiru-chan's brother working here as a prefect still?"

"It's not that simple." Yuki said softly. "He's simply here as the Hunter that can take us down at any time."

Maria noticed Senna looking nervously at her for the first time. She smiled and crouched down so she and Senna were eye to eye. "Hello, Senna-chan. It's been a while since we last saw each other. I hope we'll get along better this time."

Senna managed a small smile. She held her hand out for Maria to shake. "I think I'd like that. You seem nicer now."

As the dawn drew closer, Yuki helped Senna into her nightgown. She ran her fingers through Senna's hair and smiled at the little girl. "Are you excited for school tomorrow?"

Senna climbed into her bed and buried herself under the covers. She popped her head back up and looked at Yuki. "I guess so." She scooted over to give Yuki room on the bed. "Are you ready?"

"As ready as I'll ever be." Yuki answered. She reached out and placed her hand on Senna's cheek. "Are you sure you're okay?"

Senna shrugged. "Yes…no…I wish Ichijo were here…"

Yuki leaned forward and kissed Senna's forehead. She rubbed her thumb over Senna's cheek. "Everything is going to be okay. You'll see."

Senna nodded, but didn't say anything. The two girls fell asleep just before the sun rose. Senna's dreams were troubled by visions of a mysterious woman in a hooded cloak. When she woke up, Senna barely felt like she'd gotten any sleep at all.

Yuki and Senna dressed in silence. Senna sat patiently while Yuki brushed out her hair and pulled it into two pigtails. By the time the two walked downstairs, the rest of the vampires were already assembled. Senna ran over to Senri and threw her arms around his waist.

Senri picked her up and nuzzled their noses together. "Hello again, Little Me. Be a good girl at school today?" He held up a piece of poky and poked Senna in the corner of her mouth with it.

Senna took the poky from Senri and nibbled on it. "Deal."

The day went by quickly enough. Senna was on her best behavior, just like she'd promised Senri she would be. She stared blankly out the window in the hallway after classes were over. She tugged on Yuki's skirt when she saw Kaito and Zero standing outside talking. "Yuki-neechan, they're talking about something."

Yuki opened the window. "Has something happened?"

Kaito looked up at the two vampire girls casually. "…it's nothing of importance. Go back to your business."

Yuki looked back at the vampires that were milling about in the hallway. She cleared her throat to get their attention. There seems to be a group of our own stirring up trouble in town. Will those of you that want to stop it, go with me?"

One vampire hesitantly spoke up. "Is that an order?"

"No." Yuki answered.

A few hands slowly came up into the air, Maria's being one of them. A majority of the vampires left to go back to the dorms. Senna looked up at Yuki. "You aren't good at getting people to listen to you, Yuki-neechan."

"It's called charisma." Senri said, tugging on one of Senna's ponytails. "You don't exactly have it either, Little Me."

The group went back to the dorms to change. Yuki glanced over at Senna when she saw the little girl was changing into her street clothes. "Senna, I'd like for you to stay here. Do your homework and then go to bed."

Senna stuck her tongue out. "That's not happening. I want to help."

After a few minutes of arguing back and forth, which drew the attention of the others. Yuki walked out of the room a moment later with a smug looking Senna behind her. Senri took both of Senna's hands in each of his. He walked behind her. "You are such a brat."

"I learned from the best." Senna piped up.

Once they reached town, Yuki quickly assigned everyone to a different post. Senna pouted when she was saddled with Maria as her partner. The two took their place atop a roof overlooking a rundown building. The two stayed silent for a long time.

"You're still angry at me…about what happened." Maria said softly.

Senna looked at Maria. "I'm not…it's just hard to forget about what happened. I know you aren't Shizuka-mama…" The two sat up as vampires began pouring out of the building. None of the vampires ran towards Maria and Senna. Senna pouted as she and Maria landed on the ground. "That was a waste of time."

Maria giggled. "Come on. Let's go find Yuki-san."

The two walked around the building, only to find Yuki and Zero talking to each other. Senna ran forward to give Zero a hug, but he turned his back on her. He focused completely on Yuki.

Senna couldn't tell what the two were saying to each other. She went to take a step towards them, but Maria held her back. Senna pouted when Zero walked away without another word.

Yuki sighed tiredly and took Senna back to the dorms. She got Senna ready for bed and tucked the little girl in. "I have to go talk to Cross. Sara-san is here."

"Don't let her into the Night Class." Senna hissed out. "I hate her."

"Don't say that, Senna." Yuki said softly. "Are you thirsty?"

Senna shook her head. "No. If she's here, I'm going to beat her up." Senna declared, already trying to remember where she'd put her stick.

Yuki smiled and kissed Senna's forehead. "Good night, Senna."

"Night…" Senna mumbled, falling into yet another troubled sleep.
