Senna glared down at the homework before her. Sara was now staying with the Night Class, along with her group of human slaves. Senna had seen Ichijo briefly when he'd come with her. Something about him seemed different. When the two had made eye contact, Senna ran off to her room.

"Senna, can I come in?" Ichijo called worriedly. When he didn't receive an answer, he slowly opened the door. He received a whack to the face from the Anti-Sara stick for his troubles. He yelped and rubbed his nose. "Senna!"

"Get away from me!" Senna yelled, wielding her stick in front of her. "I'm mad at you! I don't want to see you right now, or ever!"

Ichijo didn't take another step into the room, but he didn't retreat. He smiled sadly at Senna. "Please don't be like that, Senna. It's really complicated right now…"

"That's what you said the last time I saw you!" Senna shouted, though she did lower the stick ever so slightly. "I hate that stupid hag! Why'd she have to come here with her little pets. It's weird and creepy! How can you stay with someone like her?" She blinked as Ichijo was no longer at the door.

Ichijo knelt down and hugged Senna tightly. "I've missed you so much. I know it was unfair of me to leave with no explanation. I know this past year has been very difficult for you, and I wasn't there for you."

Senna sniffled, trying her best not to cry. She wanted to stay angry at Ichijo for leaving her. She wrapped her arms around his back and hugged him. "I'm gonna die soon, Ichi-nichan."

"No you aren't." Ichijo whispered, stroking Senna's hair. "I won't allow it." He wiped a stray tear that had begun rolling down Senna's cheeks. He played with a loose strand of her brown hair. He looked at her puffy pink eyes and smiled. "You're still as cute as I remember."

Senna shook her head and pouted. "No I'm not. I'm turning into a stupid Pureblood. Jadoku's master took the cure from him. I'm going to turn into a Pureblood, and then I'm going to die."

"You aren't going to die, and you are still the cutest girl I know." Ichijo responded.

Senna finally cracked a small smile. "I missed you, Ichi-nichan. I love you so much, and I was really lonely when you weren't here."

"How could you have been lonely?" Ichijo laughed. "You had Kaname-sama and the others."

"Yeah, but I don't love them as much as I love you." Senna said bluntly. "The only other people I love as much as I love you, is Senri-nichan and Zero-nichan."

Ichijo smiled and kissed Senna's nose. "I love you too, Senna."

"Hey, Senna, want to work on our homework together." Shuuchi came to screeching halt in the doorway when he saw Ichijo in the room. "Um, who are you?"

Senna got up, a wide grin on her face. She took Ichijo's hand in hers and tugged him over to the doorway. "Shuuchi, this Ichi-nichan. Ichi-nichan, this is Shuuchi. He's my friend. I met him and Mikiri when I was in my big body and they were really nice to me. Mikiri is a Hunter like Zero-nichan."

Ichijo smiled tightly at the nervous vampire boy standing in front of him. He held his hand out to Shuuchi. "It's nice to meet you, Shuuchi-kun. Thank you for taking care of Senna."

Shuuchi nodded hesitantly. He shook Ichijo's hand, trying to keep the wince off of his face when Ichijo began squeezing his hand rather painfully. "Nice to meet you, Ichijo-senpai. Senna's told me a lot about you."

"I'll see you later, Senna." Ichijo said, releasing Shuuchi from his grip and turning to the little girl. He kissed her forehead before straightening up. "I need to speak with Yuki-sama about a few important things." He smiled eerily at Shuuchi. "I trust you will take care of my little Senna."

Shuuchi nodded rapidly. "Yes sir." As soon as Ichijo was out of the room, Shuuchi breathed out. "He's scary…"

"Shuuchi, help me with my history homework." Senna said, tugging Shuuchi over to the table where she had been doing her homework. She scooted over so Shuuchi could sit by her. "Hey, is Mikiri going to come to school here? I haven't seen him in a long time. I miss him."

"He has some things to finish up at the Hunter's Association, but he'll enroll here soon." Shuuchi said reluctantly. He blinked as Senna suddenly leapt up and ran out of the room. "Hey! Senna!"

Senna rushed passed Yuki on the stairs and leapt into Zero's arms. "Zero-nichan!"

Zero caught her easily enough. He looked down at her and tugged on strand of her brown hair. "Any fainting attacks?"

Senna shook her head, a wide grin on her face. "Nope. I think I'm getting better!" She didn't bother mentioning to Zero that she hadn't been eating much lately, or that she felt nauseous almost every day. She rubbed her nose against Zero's. "Why are you here? I thought you didn't like having to come over here."

Zero shrugged. He put Senna down and patted her head. "I need to speak with your Dorm President." He said, motioning to Yuki. "I'll see you later, okay?"

Senna pouted, but nodded. She walked up the stairs, giving Yuki's hand a reassuring squeeze as she walked by.

Yuki smiled down at her. "Finish your homework and then get ready for class. I'll be back shortly."

"Okay…" Senna watched the two walk out of the dorm from the top of the stairs. She sighed and tugged on her hair. Why did everything have to be so complicated?

xXx

Senna breathed a sigh of relief once the Economics class ended. She hated that class even more than she did History. She looked over and noticed Aidou, Senri, and Rima all talking quietly together. She ran over to them. "What's going on?"

"Nothing." Aidou said quickly. "Go to your next class."

Senna huffed and placed her hands on her hips. "Liar! You better tell me right now or I'm going to tell Yuki-neechan you're up to something."

Senri scooped Senna up. "Hanabusa-san wants us to try and get some inside information."

"Can I help?" Senna asked excitedly.

"No way!" Aidou said, poking Senna in the nose. "It's too dangerous. Besides, I promised Kaname-sama I wouldn't let anything happen to you or Yuki-sama. Now be a good girl for once and go to class."

Senri nuzzled his nose against Senna's cheek. "You keep an eye on Yuki. That's how you can help, okay?"

Senna reluctantly nodded. "Fine…but you guys better tell me what's going on."

"We will once we know." Rima promised. "Now, get to class." She plucked Senna away from Senri and put the little girl on the ground. She nudged the little girl away from them.

Senna pouted, but began walking away. She found Yuki sitting on the ground a few yards away. "Yuki-neechan, what's wrong? Did you and Zero-nichan get into another fight?"

Yuki quickly shook her head and smiled. "No! No…it's nothing like that. Come on, Senna. We need to get to class."

Senna wasn't really sure what prompted the vote, but somehow, the entire class began voting on whether or not Sara or Yuki should be the class president. Senna and one other person voted for Yuki, while the rest voted for Sara.

Sara smiled good naturedly as Senri and Rima walked into the class. "I think I will pass the responsibility on to Yuki-san. It's too much for me." She blinked as a stick was suddenly inches from her face. Her smile returned when she saw Senna glaring hatefully at her. "Can I help you, little one?"

"I don't like you, you stupid hag." Senna hissed, causing quite of few of the students to gasp in shock in horror. "I know you're up to something. If you hurt any of the people I love, I'll…"

"Senna, bad girl." Senri scooped the little girl up and shoved a piece of pocky in her mouth. He nodded over at Rima, who had a look of relief on her face.

The teacher called the class to order. Senna glared at Sara the entire time. Aidou may not want her to know what exactly what was going on, but if it involved dealing with Sara, then Senna was going to make sure she got to help.
