Chapter 101

Kaname and Yuki leave the party together, acting as if both of them agree to these terms. Kaname puts up a front, as if everything Yuki has said here, he knew about and has no problems with. As Zero stays guarding in the corner like he has nothing to do with either of them. All playing the parts they were handed, even if they didn't want to.

The car ride home is pretty quiet, Kaname doesn't know what to say to her, he knows she wasn't going to change her mind on this. She has been trying to get away from him for years. She finally did it the right way, with him knowing. He just didn't want it to happen. He was furious deep down, just sitting on it. Knowing the last time, he let out his true self, it created this big mess. One she never forgave him for. He wasn't looking to do that again, he learned from his mistakes.

Once home, Yuki goes up to her room to gather her suitcases. Seeing Ai outside of her door.

"Everything ok Ai?" Yuki asks.

"Yes, I see you kept your word, you are leaving," Ai says.

"Yes, my offer still stands if you want to come with us. Ren is staying here so she won't even be in your way. It will just be you and Ichiru." Yuki comments.

"I think, I will take you up on the offer. I have been thinking about what you have said. I want to see what it's like to be free of this place. Why you were so determined to leave here. Is a life with Zero that wonderful?" Ai replies.

"Life with him is normal. Its everything I wanted it to be. You will have to take these pills to mask your pureblood form. We don't want anyone to know we are purebloods. It will only make more trouble. We don't need that. To be truly free, that need to be hidden." Yuki responds.

"Ok, I don't know what it's like not to be a pureblood. I have been it all my life, I never hid it or really ever wanted to." Ai answers.

"I got to experience life both ways, and now you will as well. Whichever life you choose is fine with me. I will honor it, it's just a good thing that you will get to see what it's like to be free. "Yuki replies.

"Ok, I will give you this chance." Ai states.

"Thank you, I appreciate that you are willing to." Yuki answers.

Ai gets her bags and goes downstairs, where Kaname is just sitting watching and waiting for Yuki. Never imaging he would see Ai ready to go with her. Yuki walks downstairs behind her ready to leave.

"Where are you going Ai?" Kaname barks.

"I am going with Yuki, I want to see what she has to offer. A queen should know all sides of things. Which I am sure now, your beloved Ren will be queen instead of me. Won't she father?" Ai states.

"I am still thinking of a replacement. Do you want it?" Kaname asks.

"I am not sure, to be honest. Its why I want to see what is out there. What I have been missing or if I haven't been missing a thing. I will stay the summer with Yuki and let you know." Ai says.

"You know if you want to be with Ichiru Queen isn't in your future. It's bad enough to be a pureblood. You will have the same problem your mother has with the Level E she insists on being with." Kaname growls.

"I am also going to see how that progresses father. To see if the relationship can grow if it does I have no need for queen. I will always be your daughter which makes me Princess anyway. I still have the power to rule all others. It might not be a bad thing to give up the title. Your Dear Ren is the more powerful one right? Let her rain see how she likes it." Ai comments.

"Are you ok with all this Ai? I never thought you would leave me." Kaname answers.

"I am not leaving you, father, Its just for summer. I will return." Ai says heading out the door to the limo.

"Why are you taking her with you?" Kaname snaps.

"Because I want to get closer to her, I want her to see the world as I do. Not just as you do." Yuki snaps.

"She is a princess, a pureblood. If anything happens to her...." Kaname says.

"For ten years I have taken care of myself and Ren. The most powerful pureblood there is in this world. You don't think I would do the same for my other child? You really don't see me for what I am Kaname. I am more then you think. You are just slow at seeing it." Yuki answers her eyes glowing red.

"I see it more than you know. I think I prefer the innocent girl I use to know over this. Whatever it is." Kaname growls.

"You can't always get what you want Kaname. Haven't you learned that already?" Yuki smirks

Kaname just looks at her as she walks out the door, heading to the limo that will take her back to China. Back to the home she shares with Zero. Back to the family, she wants.
