Chapter 75 The Manor

The car pulls up to the Kuran mansion. Yuki's nerves eating away at her. Kaname just sitting there, doing his best to keep his composer and going back to the old him. Trying to wrap all this around his mind. Knowing deep down Kiryu had to do with this somehow. There was no way, she would run away alone. She wasn't that smart back then, or brave. Someone or something had to put all this into her head. Now she was back and was nothing like her old self. She had matured a lot in the ten years. More than Kaname ever thought possible.  She was holding herself together very well. Hiding any emotion, which was the total opposite of her.

Yuki gets out of the car and just stands there looking at the house. Nothing has changed. It looked the same. The memories of that night come rushing back to her, entering the house and being beaten by Kaname. She quickly shakes herself out of it, not wanting him to have that control over her anymore. She had to stay strong. She wouldn't be that little girl that he could control any longer in any way.

She walks into the foyer, seeing Ai come down the stairs. This beautiful young woman, A mixture of her and Kaname. She was breathtaking.

"Father your home. I am so glad everything went well." Ai states. Running to her father's side. "Me too. I am sorry to have worried you so. Everything is taken cared of. They shouldn't bother us again." Kaname says. Kissing Ai on her head. "Well, I guess its welcome back, Mother. " Ai says. Looking hastily to Yuki. "Thank you. You're beautiful." Yuki says. "Will she be staying long father? I am sure. She wants to get back to whatever rock she crawled up from." Ai states. "Ai, she is your mother please behave," Kaname says. "Why? She left us. Threw us away like we were trash. Now we are supposed to welcome her back with open arms?" Ai says. "She didn't have to come to my aid. She could of let me rot." Kaname answers. Ai just gives Yuki a dirty look.

"I didn't throw you away like trash. I loved you and your father. I needed freedom. Space. SOmething your father wouldn't give me." Yuki comments. "You know thats part of being a pureblood. ITs not that hard. Me and father do it just fine. What's your problem?" Ai replies. I was raised a human, I knew what it was like to been free. I longed for it." Yuki answers.

"What about your boy toy?" Ai asks. "What do you mean?" Yuki asks. "Father told me everything. I know you did cheat on him." Ai responds. "That is between your father and me." Yuki answers. "If you want to keep it that way, Fine," Ai says walking away. "Dinner will be served soon father." Ai states.

"Why would you ever tell her that? Are you that insecure about Zero, you had to even tell our child?" Yuki shouts. "My daughter and I have no secrets. I did learn from our relationship to be more honest. I told her everything that happened. Even me losing control." Kaname says. "And she is fine with it because you did it? Is that how this goes?" Yuki shouts. "no, it matters. I just didn't want any of this to come out and hurt her. So I told her everything. I do not keep secrets from her." Kaname admits. "But me you did. You always kept me in the dark." Yuki says." I did it to protect you. You were not as strong as she is." Kaname admits. " You never gave me a chance to see otherwise. I was strong today to come to save your ass." Yuki replies. " I see this. Maybe we can start over?" Kaname says. "I am not looking to go back to that. I just came here to make sure they didn't hurt you." Yuki answers. "Because you still care for me. I know you had to be with him Yuki. Even if you don't want to admit it. I know better. Just think, you were with him, supposedly happy, and yet you still came back for me. That had to burn him."Kaname smirks.

"I am only staying a short time. I would like to try to see if I can work on a relationship with Ai. " Yuki answers. "Thats fine with me. You're not going to be able to run and hide so fast anyway. The council will be watching you. So you're stuck here with me for a while. Kiryu will just have to wait. If you run to him, they will see you were with him the whole while. I bet they will love that you were shacked up with a hunter. "Kaname responds.

Yuki just rolls her eyes at him. Not giving anything away. She knew he was smart though. It was hard to hide things from him. She just had a bigger secret from him. One he would never expect.
