Yuki:

"What did you do while you've been away?" I gushed holding tightly to his arm and feeling ten times better being around all these people.

"Lady Yuki" someone I didn't recognize stopped us and bowed to me. "Thank you for attending, I'm glad to see you could make it" I smiled like I'd been taught and kept walking.

"It was boring mostly, remind me not to bring Shiki and Rima when I go somewhere fun. I'll steal you instead." I laughed and it felt fantastic.

I saw him, his back turned to me. Orange hair stood out and I relaxed fully, they were all here. All the people I cared for. Except 'daddy' and he was at school. I made a mental note to steal him soon.

He turned around, I focused in on his face

"Okay, pick one. Any of them. You won't kill them so don't worry. You're going to pick five tonight. Hunt, pounce, feed, release. It's simple" I nodded to a business guy who I overheard yelling at his wife.

Stalking him might have been the best part, adrenaline racing as I waited for my opportunity to attack. I followed him for an hour, picking my perfect moment. Finally I found it.

He turned down an alley still on the phone and paying no attention. I cornered him, pretending to be hitting on him. "Up for a good time? I know I am" my vampire was doing what she was made to all too well.

"Pretty women shouldn't wander around places like this all alone." The smile of a wolf.

Clearly his intentions were anything but pure as he approached me quickly, almost threateningly. He backed me up against a brick wall. "How about $50? You look more than worth it." I scoffed, having a good time playing with this guy. "You're right, I'm worth way more, that's an offer I can't accept" I heard his displeasure in the warning "It would be a shame if something happened to you just because you didn't do your job little girl" Laughter as bitter as I'd ever tasted came from deep within my chest. "I'd be more concerned about yourself if I were you." I teased feeling my eyes begin glowing.

He gasped, and the throbbing in my mouth made me aware of my extended canines. "You should consider this a life changing experience." I bore my teeth and bit quickly, feeling hot blood pour down my throat, closing my eyes in ecstasy. I might have had an orgasm except Kain was there right after.

"Yuki! Look at me, you have to open your eyes. You can't pretend you're somewhere else doing something different. Focus on the task at hand."

My eyes popped open and locked on to his face. I growled lowly, barely able to contain myself. To stop from snapping this mans neck.

"Good girl, just like that. Focus on the taste, on how full you are." He coached me through the whole thing, I just wanted to feed though and his voice was becoming annoying.

"Let go, he'll die. You don't need any more. We're going to hunt again." This was the first real time I'd experienced blood lust on this level and I couldn't I lost it, threw the guy at the brick wall behind me and went after Kain.

He didn't try to stop me or move against me at all. I bit him, right on his collarbone and he stood still for it. Rage tore through me, ate away at who I thought myself to be. My subconscious screaming at me that he was lowly, that I should end him. I must have bitten and drank from ten different spots before I broke.

Anger faded, no longer consuming me, looking at what I'd done I was shocked. He was bleeding from spots on his neck, shoulders, even chest. Kain stood still though and waited silently, watching me.

I cried for hurting him, for who I was, I shattered and he picked me up. "We're going home. You did much better than I thought you would" cradled to his chest. "I'm...so...sorry...sorry… hurt you" I sobbed and I knew who and what I was.

In that moment I understood Zero and his quest to end his own life. No wonder, feeling like this was worse than I could have imagined.

"Yuki?" Kain asked standing in front of me now. "Sorry" I said and threw myself in his arms. My brother, my friend.

He hugged me back though he usually wouldn't and I was grateful. "Where is Lord Kaname?" he said, looking pointedly at Aido. "He went to go talk to the elders. He'll be around I'm sure."

As if on cue he was there, one hand on my back and the other extended to Kain.

"Kain it's nice to see you" Kaname did look honestly pleased to see that we were all here but something seemed to be troubling him as well. I held on to him tightly, doing my best to be supportive.

"Yuki and I are going to have a dance, I'm sure we'll see you soon." He pulled me off on to the dance floor. We were in the main room of our home. Granite floors and luxurious couches, beautiful paintings, and the large oak dining table. French doors led onto a balcony and I thought of how beautiful my home was.

He was pulling me in the direction of the balcony. We stepped out and he cleared his throat, all conversation stopping immediately. "Please excuse us for just a few moments" he was charming as ever.

They left without a word and then irritation spread over his features. "They want to see him." Kaname paced back and forth staring at the ground. He seemed overwhelmed which did not happen often. "What are you talking about?"

He whirled around and growled. "They want to observe him. He's the longest living that they've ever had with the exception of those who drank from their master."

"No, he's not an experiment to be played with. He's a person, they can't just demand to study him." Kaname shook his head. "We might be in trouble with this Yuki, I know you don't want to but standing against the entire senate..."

"I refuse. That is my space, not yours or theirs. I will not allow it and the elders can take it up with me if they have such a huge problem. I'll inform them but I will not put him on display like a show dog!" I was livid and I wasn't even sure who deserved the anger I was feeling.

One of the senate walked out smiling as if he thought nothing of the conversation we were having. He nodded to Kaname who growled just a little.

"After the party is over we'll be down." I stepped forward with my most mesmerizing smile, manipulation coming easier than it should.

"You must understand the danger, we can't allow just anyone down there." He looked down his nose at me and I almost lost it. "It's not a female's job to have input, why don't you let us handle this Lady Yuki." Some of the older council members doubted the vampire women, but me in particular.

Kaname stepped around me before I was able to lunge. "She's right. This is Yuki's project and I can't allow you to do something that she wishes you wouldn't, especially in her own home." He was matter of fact.

"Kaname, I urge you to reconsider. You will show him to us eventually." His face hardened, all politeness vanished.

"Are you trying to force my hand?" Wind picked up and the lights flickered on the balcony. "I am a Kuran, a pureblood, do you think you can order me to do your bidding?" his face went pale, he backed down right away.

"No, I won't try to force anything from you. We can discuss this later, with some drinks and a cigar."

"I sincerely hope so, I don't want to have to remind anyone of why it is purebloods are so feared. You should show some respect! Take your leave from my home." The man walked from our balcony without a second thought and Kaname calmed.

"This will not stop them Yuki."
