"Is Yuki-neechan in there?"
Aidou jumped nearly a mile high. He whirled around and glared down at the little vampire girl. "Senna! You're supposed to be in your room doing your homework!"
Senna completely ignored Aidou. She went over to the closed door, but was stopped by Aidou grabbing her hand in his. "She's in there with the hag, isn't she?"
"Senna…" Aidou chastised patiently. He pulled Senna gently away from the door.
"Is Ichi-nichan in there with them?" Senna asked. Her answer was clear in Aidou's eyes. She couldn't help the small sniffle that managed to come out. Tears pricked in her eyes, and her vision became misted. "He doesn't talk to me anymore. He promised he would, but he doesn't. He's always with that stupid hag. I hate her. She took him away from me, and now she's trying to take away everyone else that I love. I know she is."
Aidou knelt down and stroked Senna's cheek. "She's not taking anyone away from you. I promise." He straightened up when Yuki stepped out of the room. "You're not injured. That's good. How did it go?"
Yuki was silent for a moment. She briefly glanced down when she felt Senna latch on to her waist. She absently stroked Senna's hair and held the little girl close to her. "I've never trusted Sara completely."
Aidou glanced worriedly over at the door. "You know they can probably hear you."
Yuki shrugged dismissively. She picked Senna up and smiled as the little girl rubbed noses with her. "I don't care. You know, I think I've disliked Sara since the party where I first saw her."
"I told you she's an evil hag." Senna muttered, glaring over at the door. She kept hoping that Ichijo would come out to see her, but he didn't. Her heart sank as Yuki began walking away with her, and Ichijo still hadn't come out. She buried her face against Yuki's shoulder, and willed her tears to stay at bay. "I hate her…"
Yuki took Senna back to her room and tucked the little girl in. She kissed Senna's forehead. "Get some sleep, Senna. I love you."
"Love you too, Yuki-neechan." Senna yawned and curled up on her side. She dreamed first of Rido that night. Then, Rido shifted to Sara, and then to Kaname. She woke up when the sun was still in the sky. Sleepily, Senna pulled on her uniform. She barely felt like she'd gotten any sleep at all. She walked out into the hallway just as Yuki swiftly walked by.
"Where're you going, Yuki-neechan?" Senna asked sleepily.
Yuki jumped, slightly startled. She turned and gave Senna a small smile. "I have some business to take care of. Why don't you go find Aidou-senpai?"
Senna shook her head, suddenly much more awake than she had been moments before. "I want to go too." She followed Yuki out of the dorm, despite Yuki's protest. She winced against the bright sunlight, and quickly moved into the nearby trees. She was relieved that wherever it was they were going, she didn't have to come out of the trees. She perked up when she smelled someone familiar nearby. "Zero-nichan!"
Zero caught the little vampire before she could tackle him. He held her up briefly before setting her back down on the ground. He didn't even make eye contact with Yuki.
Senna was curious as to where they were going. The silence was awkward and palatable. She was about to ask where they were going, when she saw two vampires stalking after Yori and the student council president. She hopped out of Zero's arms and stood between him and Yuki, while they placed themselves between the vampires and humans.
"Move out of our way." One of the vampires hissed coldly.
"Leave this to me, Zero." Yuki said, not making eye contact with the Hunter.
Zero shrugged his shoulders coolly. "Do what you want. Just hurry up."
Yuki finally looked at Zero. She hadn't been expecting that answer. Putting on a brave face, she stormed over to the two vampires. She grabbed one by his sleeve and yanked the blood tablets out of his hand. "Have you forgotten our rules?" She chastised. "If you can't follow the rules, you shouldn't be here." She swiftly moved passed the shell shocked vampire and took away the other vampire's blood tablets. "You've forgotten these important things just because of these blood tablets."
Senna grinned proudly. "Yuki-neechan can be kind of cool sometimes when she wants to be."
Zero was about to respond when he noticed the change in the two vampires. He moved protectively in front of Senna, keeping a snarl back.
"Give them back to me!" Both boys screamed, charging at Yuki.
"Zero!" Yuki tossed the blood tablet packets over to the Hunter. She winced as both vampires suddenly bit into her arms.
"Yuki-neechan!" Senna gasped out. Immediately, she bit her thumb and created a blood sword. She barely noticed Zero drawing Bloody Rose.
Yuki looked over at both of them and quickly shook her head. "It's okay." She looked down at the two vampires. Their fangs dug painfully into her arms, and she had to hold back another wince. "It's okay." She spoke softly to the two, almost like a mother speaking to her upset children. "Get yourselves back. Remember why you came to this school."
The two vampires seemed to regain their senses at the same time. They both leapt back in horror, blood still dripping on their chins. They both knelt before Yuki. "We're so sorry. We will accept any punishment!"
Yuki laid a comforting hand on both of their shoulders. "There's no need for that. Both of you, go back to the dorms." She simply smiled at them when they tried to protest. She was shocked that both had returned to normal after drinking her blood. A plan was forming in her mind, though she wasn't quite ready to voice it.
Senna noticed something moving on one of the boys shoulder. She rushed forward, dissipating her blood sword before she reached him. She ignored the way he flinched, and yanked the spider off the boy's shoulder. She held it up to Yuki.
"Disappear." Yuki said softly, and touched the spider. As the spider disappeared, a frown marred her face. "Sara…" She quickly turned back to Zero, ignoring the boys rushing away. She gave him a smile and took Senna's hand. "Thank you, Zero."
Zero glared at her as she took a step forward. "Don't come near me." He ignored Yuki's hurt face, and glanced over at Senna. He could see the confusion and uncertainty on her face. "Bye, Senna."
Senna waved to Zero's retreating back. She looked up at Yuki. "Are you okay, Yuki-neechan? That looks painful."
Yuki quickly smiled down at her. "I'm all right. Come on. Let's go back to the dorm."
That night, before class started, Yuki stood up in front of the entire class. She had her Disciplinary Committee armband on, and her hands on her hips. "If you don't want to be searched head to toe, hand over your blood tablets!"
The reaction was immediate and violent. Yuki managed to retrieve all the blood tablet packages from the students, which resulted in shouts of anger and her being chased out of the room. Senna helped Rima and Maria hold down a few of the students. Senna had to sit on top of Shuuchi. She stroked his hair and kissed his forehead. "Calm down, Shuuchi."
Aidou noticed one of the male students had torn a hole into the door and was biting Yuki's arm. He roughly yanked him off and scowled. "Do you know who she is?"
The boy immediately came to his senses. A look of horror crossed his face. "Oh no…what have I done?"
Yuki poked her head through the hole in the door. "Aidou, have everyone drink my blood! That's the only way to cure them!"
Senna watched each person bite Yuki, and how they all came to their senses. She led a crazed Shuuchi over to Yuki and waited for him to come to his senses. "Are you okay, Shuuchi?"
Shuuchi's hands trembled once he'd realized what he'd done. "I'm so sorry, Yuki-sama!"
Yuki smiled, exhausted from all the blood loss. "It's all right."
"I'm glad you're okay now." Senna hugged Shuuchi briefly before turning to Yuki. "What do we do now?"
"We need to manufacture our own blood tablets!" Yuki exclaimed.
"Wait!" Aidou protested. "We have no idea how much we'll need. You could be drained of blood."
Yuki immediately stopped in her tracks. "You're right…" She stroked Senna's hair absently. "What should we do then?"
"We do need to sell our own blood tablets since our enemy is doing it as well." Aidou muttered absently, trying to figure out what they could do. He glanced coldly over at the now open door. "You've been watching us quietly this whole time. Aren't these blood tablets being manufactured from your company?"
Ichijo didn't say anything. He didn't even make contact with Senna's hopeful eyes. He turned and left the room with a few of Sara's followers.
"Senna, are you okay?" Rima asked quietly. She could see the hurt and confusion in Senna's eyes.
"He's not my Ichi-nichan anymore." Senna whispered, a tear managing to slip down her cheek. "He doesn't love me anymore." She looked around, quickly wiping the other tears away before they could escape. "Where's Shiki-nichan?"
Rima looked quietly around. "I don't know. I'm worried about him. I want him to drink some of Yuki-sama's blood. He ate those blood tablets without knowing what they were." She took Senna's hand in hers. "Come on. Let's go find him."
The two ran all over the place, trying to find Shiki. Senna suddenly stopped as a very familiar scent hit her nose. "Rima…"
"Senna, you probably shouldn't meddle…" Rima sighed when she saw the determined look on Senna's face. "Just be careful. I'll keep looking for Shiki."
Senna ran back the way they'd just come. "Kaname-san…why are you here?"
