"Senna-neechan, up!" A tiny toddler that looked almost identical to Yuki and Kaname looked up at the teenage girl with wide eyes and pouting lips. Her tiny arms stretched up in the air and she stood on her tip toes.
"Come here." Senna giggled and scooped the little girl up. She spun around with the little girl in her arms, causing the tiny vampire child to squeal in delight. Senna couldn't believe she had once been so small. She didn't think she smiled like this when he was a toddler, though.
The years had been kind to Senna as she grew. Now finally a teenager, an age she thought she would never see, Senna was a sight to behold. Her hair fell to her mid back with light waves going through it. She was taller than Yuki now, even if it was only be an inch or two.
The toddler glared at the crib in the middle of the room when a loud wail came from it. "He's loud."
"Well, yeah," Senna put the toddler down. "He's a baby. That's what babies do. You were really loud when you were a baby." Senna went over to the crib, giggling at the toddler's cry of protest. "What's wrong?" Senna cooed as she picked the silver haired baby up. She rocked him back and forth until he finally drifted back off to sleep. Gently, she put him back down in his crib. She stroked his silver hair and smiled. "You look just like your daddy."
"Senna-neechan!" The toddler began fussing, tugging insistently at the hem of the green dress Senna was wearing.
"Hush," Senna soothed and picked the toddler up. She walked out of the baby's room and took the little girl to her own room. "It's time for your nap."
"No," the little girl huffed out as Senna tucked her under the covers.
Senna frowned down at the little girl and tapped her nose. "If you don't go to sleep, I'll tell your daddy."
"Sleep now!" The toddler shut her eyes tight. She fell asleep a few minutes later, soothed by Senna stroking her hair.
Senna crept out of the room, careful not to wake the little girl. She smoothed out the wrinkles in her sundress and skipped down the stairs. She looked impatiently at the clock as she walked into the main sitting area to wait for the adults to return. They'd had important business to take care of and had asked her to babysit the little ones while they were gone. That wouldn't have been a problem if she hadn't already made plans.
The sound of the front door opening brought Senna to her feet. She rushed to the door before Yuki and the others were even all through the door. "How did it go?"
Shiki walked through the group and went to Senna. He wrapped his arms around her and rested his head on top of hers. "Sleepy…"
"It didn't go as well as we had hoped," Yuki said, "but it wasn't as bad as we thought it would be. The other vampires are starting to grudgingly work with the Hunters. Isn't that right, Hunter Association President." Yuki nudged Zero playfully in the side, earning her a half-hearted glare from the man.
Kaname chuckled at the anxious look on Senna's face as the teenager attempted to wriggle out of Shiki's grasp. "Eager to head out, Senna-chan?"
Senna grinned as she finally was able to disentangle herself from Shiki's arms. "Yes. I'm going to be late if I don't leave right now."
Aidou frowned suspiciously at her. "Where is it you're going again?"
"Um," Senna giggled nervously. She looked pleadingly over to Yuki, Rima, and Ruka for help.
"Seriously, Aidou?" Ruka huffed. "She's going to meet with her study group like she does every Saturday night." She winked over at Senna when the teenager shot her a grateful look.
"Yup, that's right," Senna said. She skirted around the group and rushed out the door. "I'll see you all later!"
"Be back before sunrise!" Yuki shouted as Senna sprinted off. She sighed when all she received in response was a waving hand.
Senna ran all the way into the town. She hoped they hadn't been waiting for her for too long. By the time she reached the fountain where they always met. She paused for a moment to catch her breath and saw that Mikiri and Shuuchi were both already waiting for her. The two boys hadn't physically aged much over the years. They both looked just like that had when Senna first met the two of them. "Shuuchi! Mikiri!"
The two boys were barely able to open their arms up and steel themselves for Senna throwing herself at them. Senna kissed both of them lightly on the lips, causing the two boys to blush profusely. Despite her growing up, Senna's desire to show affection had not lessened in the slightest.
Mikiri tugged Senna out of Shuuchi's grasp and rested his forehead against Senna's. "Hi, Senna. How'd everything go?" He glared at Shuuchi as the vampire tugged Senna from him.
Shuuchi placed a light kiss on Senna's forehead. "Is everyone working together?"
Senna rolled her eyes as Mikiri attempted to pull her back away from Shuuchi. She gently nudged the two boys to sit down on the edge of the fountain. She wiggled in between them and linked her arms with theirs. She rested her head on Mikiri's shoulder and then Shuuchi's. "Not exactly. Things are getting better, but it's taking forever."
Mikiri was about to say something when he suddenly heard someone clearing their throat. He looked up and his face instantly paled. "Ichijo-san."
Ichijo stood over the three, an eerie smile on his face. "This doesn't look like studying to me, Senna."
Senna smiled sheepishly up at Ichijo. "Busted."
"Do you really think Kaname-sama and the others don't know that you've been meeting up with these two every Saturday?" Ichijo huffed. He shooed Mikiri and Shuuchi away and took Senna's hand. "Let's get you home, Senna."
"I'll see you two later," Senna giggled. She strained against Ichijo's hand to plant a kiss on both Shuuchi and Mikiri's lips. She waved as Ichijo tugged her away from the vampire and the hunter. "Takuma, you can let go now. I don't know why you and the other guys make such a big deal about me hanging out with Mikiri and Shuuchi."
Ichijo sighed and stopped walking. He turned to face Senna and moved a stray strand of hair from the teenage girl's face. "You're not a little girl anymore, Senna. Boys at that age are only after one thing and they won't be getting it from you."
Senna rolled her eyes. "Shuuchi and Mikiri aren't like that. They're my friends."
"You just don't understand how boys minds work," Ichijo protested.
"Senna," Shiki appeared from the nearby trees. "let's go home." He pulled Senna into his arms and nuzzled his cheek against hers. He frowned and hugged her closer. "Your cheeks aren't chubby anymore."
"Of course they aren't," Senna protested. "I'm not a little girl anymore. They're still kind of chubby, though. Like yours." She pulled on Shiki's cheek lightly to prove her point. She smiled as Shiki attempted to nip at her fingers.
Ichijo couldn't help smiling at the two. Things had been awkward at the beginning when Ichijo returned. None of them had been sure what to say to each other and how to act. Over the years, they'd all slowly fallen back to how they'd been before everything. Before Sara. Before Rido. "Come on. I'm sure you're both hungry by now."
Senna linked her arms with Shiki and Ichijo, just like she had done with Mikiri and Shuuchi. "Nah," she said. "I already drank from Mikiri and Shuuchi." She couldn't help laughing at the horrified look on Ichijo's face. "I'm just kidding. I'm only going to drink from my true love. Who know, maybe one of them is my true love. Or both even. Like Yuki, Kaname, and Zero."
"Absolutely not!" Ichijo protested.
Senna smiled and kissed both Ichijo and Shiki's cheeks before they resumed walking back to the mansion. Back home. The smile on Senna's face grew. It was nice to finally be able to have a permanent home. A place where she could be with all the people she loved. "Let's go home!"
