"Yume..."

I didn't answer. "Yume!"

I looked over at Kaname, standing above me as I say on his sofa. "Why would you do this to yourself? Why would you get upset?"

I looked away, ashamed of myself. I felt some of the blood rub of on the sofa, my dry blood. "It's the only thing I can feel. Or at least, the only thing I'll be able to feel."

He looked away as well. "What are you talking about?"

"You know what I'm talking about."

There was a long pause. "That may not be the only case-"

"What the fuck are you talking about?!" He flinched. I realized that I had pushed the table in front of me over in my haste to get up an yell, to pent out my feelings. "What are you..." Another pause, until I spoke up again. "Oi, do you love Yuuki?"

"She's my great-grandchild, my 'sister'. Of course I do."

"Do you want to bed her?"

He gulped. "Why do you want to know?"

I chuckled humorlessly. "Why do you think?" I sighed. "Everyone around me, has some sort of secret they don't want people to know. And when it gets out, something unexpected happens. Everyone has the secret that makes a small monster inside. For me, the secret is merely a story. I am the monster. Everyone thinks that since I'm so irregular, my secret, they have to shun me, make me feel pain. So if that's all I'll ever feel, why not embrace it?"

I smelled a bit of his blood. He was gripping his hands too hard. "But what does that have to do with Yuuki?"

"I'm a child. How could anyone love me comfortably? Not even a Middle Schooler would be able to stand me. You always tell me, when Nini gives me trouble, that I have to ignore her, my secret. Myself. But if I ignore her, who else will I have? You? You'll be married to Yuuki, having two children running around a place I used to call home. I'll probably be in some insane asylum."

I looked down, and there was yet another silence. But it was broken by the sound footsteps. I felt Kaname wrap his arms around me, and sit on the sofa while situating my so I was locked in his lap. "Don't say that."

"Wha-"

"Don't say that!"

I gasped.

"You're the only one I have. I wouldn't lose you. You're the one thing that I can take care of without breaking it. You love me for what and who I am."

"What...? Then, what about today?"

His voice was very apologetic. "I got jealous, I guess. I took my prank to far."

Silence. I didn't speak for a while, not sure what to say, so I just buried my head into his chest. I felt the silent tears soak into his cloths, while I chuckled. What kind of drama are we in? If I had to choose, I'd say an idiotic and typic fanfiction.

I realized that I hadn't gotten the chance to give him my special chocolates. I wriggled out of his hold. "Stay here."

I ran into the bedroom, and looked on my vanity. There was the small box I wanted to give him.

I picked it up and brought it back. I held it out in front of him shyly. "Here. I didn't want to give it to you in front of the Day Class."

He chuckled and took it into his hands.

"That's nice. But, tell me in advance, please?"

I opened the wooden drawer, only to find blood stained empty packages. I groaned and looked over at the sleeping Kaname. Guess I need a refill.

I slammed the drawer closed. He didn't wake up.

Damnit! He needs to wake up at somepoint. Sure, it's the weekend and all, but I'm getting a bit hungry, which isn't good. I stomped over to him in my tank top and shorts, attempting to get him closer to being awake.

I started to shake him around roughly, yelling out his name.

I heard him mumble. "Yume..." I could tell he wasn't awake, but he grabbed my waist and pulled me to him, practically laying on my body. "Yume..."

"Kaname, I'll eat you instead!" I tried a different tactic to bring him out of his sleep.

It didn't work. "Cute..." I blushed.

I raised my hand up to slap him on the face. "What does that mean?!"

"How annoying. Surprise dorm inspection?"

Seiren replied to me. "Yes, correct."

Kaname was sitting next to me on the couch, rubbing his cheek. Without looking at him, I poked said cheek. "I hope your happy that it's now and not later, Kaname." I laced his name with venom. See, he had neglected to tell me that we were out of food, so now I have to go without it until the evening and live with a horrible chest pain and a throbbing head from keeping it under control.

"It's your job to tell me, so in my humble opinion, you have no one but yourself to blame."

I sighed. There was no other point in arguing with Kaname, since Aidou might join in at any time. "Does the headmaster think we have anything to hide? It's not like anyone has a human locked in the closet, right?"

Shiki calmly looked back at Ichijou. "What about those briefs you keep neglecting to pick up?"

"Those are the finest briefs sewn by a top tailor. It's like your asking me if I'd be ashamed about leaving manga everywhere."

I chuckled. "You sure all those volumes are age appropriate?"

"Hime-sama! That's mean!"

Touya suddenly spoke up with her robotic and smooth voice. "Hey, wheres Hanabusa and Akastuki?"

Takuma looked around. "Now that you mention it, they aren't here." And they were right. The spots they were in before were now empty. But it isn't much of a surprise, since Aidou seems like the type that wouldn't have a clean room, no matter how 'noble' he was. So, Kain probably dragged him off somewhere. I looked over at Kaname, who was now walking off, probably thinking the same about Aidou and Kain. I decided to ask him. "Where are you going?"

He didn't respond with much, except a sideways glance at me and the others and one word.

"Punishment."

Currently, I was carrying a giant box filed with an abundance of broken stuff that Kaname had once looked upon as something that may not have been broken at one point. So apparently at some point, Aidou decided he would be undercover as a maid and cleaned every one of Kaname's messes created by his powers. I'm glad I don't get angry like a certain pureblood, or else I have a chance of being his new obsession.

I set the box down next to the doorway, seeing the other few boxes slightly open with bulbs and glasses broken and starting to stick a few holes in the thin boxes.

I looked out the slightly opened door, and caught sight of Yuki leaving, chasing after who I believe is Zero. After all, Kaname is with me, in this building, and he's the only other person she might chase after.

On second thought, her shyness might take over her senses. Typical Yuuki.

Kaname came up behind me and put his hand on my shoulder, looking over in the distance. "Kaien had told me to keep and eye on the town, so I sent a few familiars to look around. I found two Level E's, which haven't been sent into the association, I assume. They are currently running wild out in the village, but have done a good job of inky harming one person." He looked over at me, a dark expression written all over his face. "Shall we play Knights?"

I looked over my shoulder at him, and faced him. I sighed. "I'll go get emo, you go get princess. Bye." With the few words said, I walked away, and we went our separate paths, me getting wrong colored emo, and Kaname getting the princess locked in a tower.

I walked around finally seeing Zero, ordering food. Man at a time like this?! What the hell?

I walked into the little shop, and heard the cook shout over to me. "Ah, you must be this lonely man's companion, what should I get you?" I glared at Zero silently when he looked over to see what the man was talking about. He looked surprised for moment, before looking away both awkwardly and defeatedly. I shook my head at the man and grabbed Zero's shoulder, quickly running out with him behind me while, also, shouting away at the man.

"I'm here to take the knight in shining armor to a dazzling princess, locked away in a dungeon guarded by a dragon!"

"What?!"

Zero finally started to run more on his own after realizing who the princess was.

I started to fill him in. "There's a Level E, or two, in the town, and Yuuki came after you, so you're going to kill 'em so I can go get my food!"

"What are you saying?!"

I came to a halt when I saw the Level E standing there.

"Where the fuck is Yuuki?!" His question was answered when we heard a scream from the tower. The other Level E must be up there. I ran past the woman, Level E woman, and went through the clock tower to the top. Pushing the board away, and putting it back into place, I looked over at Yuuki, who was in a corner while the Level E practically scream at her, except more in a laughing, 'yo-gonna-die-tanight' kind of way.

"Yume...-san?" I looked over at the cowering Yuuki, and the poor child. How tragic, to be turned into insane monster at that age. No, it's more tragic, that the child is dead, and has only a broken soul left.

I summoned the sword and walked towards the frightened child. I felt Kaname's presence only a few moments after, and heard him say to Yuuki, "You shouldn't see this." He probably covered her eyes.

"You don't need these for where you're going." It was to easy, but gruesome. The blade was only a bit more heavy with my strength, as it cut through his arm to the other side, only to be quickly pulled back and turned slight to crush through the other one, feel only a slight pressure. I through the sword in a random direction and made sure it never hit something, by un-summoning it. Using my feet, I crushed his ankles while holding his neck to make sure he didn't fall over. For the amount of blood he most likely hasn't taken and his status as a Level E, it shouldn't heal for about a day.

"Yume, I'll meet up with you, so you go ahead, to the usual place."

Still holding his neck, I responded by running out the window, the food in hand.

I sat down across from the child, who sat in place since he had no where to go, and wouldn't dare defy a pureblood. We had a staring contest for a few minutes, until I felt the serious hunger start getting to me.

First a small headache, then a small nauseating stomach ache, the horrible pains that felt like my stomach had collapsed in on itself and was currently turning itself around, while hitting all my other organs, which tried forming a conga line. But as painful as it was, it felt surreal. There was a side thinking rationally, and another doubling over in pain. So much pain. Before now, today, it hadn't hurt this much, it was only small and very bearable, so perhaps staring at something like this for so long wasn't the greatest idea.

It wasn't like I thought of the little boy as only food. It's just what I'm used to. Hunting down Level E's, and eating corpses that had died over an hour ago. For us, it was putting these people out of there misery while gaining something that is essential for my body to function correctly. No matter how gruesome it is, it's still a win-win situation, because that is the face of nature. When you look under the mask of beauty, all you will find is truth covered in blood: beauty is only beauty when created by ugliness, and beauty is used to fuel such ugliness to create beauty and keep such a cycle going. I've lived with this knowledge, and accept it. But never willingly.

"Yume, I apologize. I never meant to take so long." I groaned in response, and heard the child whimper across from me.

That sound, had gotten to me. Eating someone alive, must be excruciating for the victims, and is painful for me. But, it's hard to control myself. I can't keep eating and eating without ever being eaten. To take without giving. To kill means to be prepared to be killed. I've lived with that knowledge ever since that damn Takuma made me watch Code Geass. It's so true, yet so sad. And I can't stop that guilt from piling down on me, because I can't be killed. Many what am I even thinking anymore? My thoughts are so jumbled and mushed together that I'm thinking two different things at the same time.

"Sorry, sorry, sorry..." I can't stop anymore.

I'm hungry.

Yay! I have gotten around to uploading! This lazy ass person is still alive! And that person is me. Also, if any of you are wondering, in the last chapter Yuuki never came to 'Zero's Rescue', so she never saw the bullet hole or Zero shooting her. And yes, Nini did eat the flesh and kill the kid, I'll probably explain a little more in the next chapter. I didn't want to show you my horrible writing skills of more actiony scenes too.

Also, hmmm, I think I was going to say something important... (3 minutes later of slapping my head) oh oh! I got it! No, wait, I got it! So, I realize that this chapter was super cliche fanfiction stuff, with the blushing and the gasping and crying and what not, so I apologize. I am also sorry about Kaname acting out of character, but I'm trying to make it seem like he has let himself go around Yume over the years, and is actually more open.

think about it like the end of a romance novel, where pretty boy has finally said to the heroine, "I got feelings, bro. Give me some sugar so we can end this already." Except without the romance. But, I'm trying my best to make him seem like normal Kaname around others.

So sorryfor the long wait and author's note, bye bye!
