Chapter 97

After a while, Yuki decides to go talk to Ai, not knowing what she is going to find. Just knowing she doesn't respect her or want to talk to her. She just wanted to make it clear to her, that she did care about her. That this had nothing to do with her.

"Ai May I talk to you?" Yuki asks.

"Why, What would you have to say that would interest me?" Ai says.

"We are sending Ichiru home for his own safety. I know you like him, and thats fine. Your welcome to visit him anytime you feel like it. He just needs to be away from here to be safe." Yuki answers.

"Because of your choices he has to hide. Way to go mother." Ai responds.

"I also wanted you to know that I will be saying true things at the party. I don't want to hurt you, I wish our relationship could grow, that you would give me a chance. At the same time, I need you to understand, I can't be here or under your father's thumb. I need to be me." Yuki states.

" Your planning on leaving again aren't you? Wow, I do see father has a way of making you want to leave as fast as you can. Why is that? I mean yea you two had that night but it has to be more. Scared you might go against your lovely Zero?" Ai responds.

"I moved on from your father's grip years ago. I do not want to fall back into it. I don't hate your father, I just don't want to be under his rule. I am free with Zero. I have a normal life. It's wonderful. You need to see what being normal is Ai. Not only the pureblood side of you, you have so much more. If you come to visit us and see what our life is. You will understand it more. I know you hate me for leaving. Everyone tells me that if I leave again you will hate me more. I am just hoping thats not true. That you see what is best for all of us. I am not leaving you, You can come with me at any time." Yuki says.

"You are taking Ren with you? You won't leave them behind." Ai asks.

"I am going to ask Ren what she wants. If she wants to stay with your father for awhile thats fine with me. They have a closeness I don't want to break that. I just don't want to be here. Think about coming with us. To really get to know me. The real me, not the pureblood I have to be while I am here. I know you don't believe this. But I love you. I always have. To leave you was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I left letters, cards, and videos for every special occasion I thought you would need to hear from me. Piece of my heart has always been here with you. I couldn't take you with me. First, your father would have killed himself, he wouldn't have anyone and I didn't want that. Second, I would have to lie to you, change your life just to make mine work. So I left you were I thought you would be safe." Yuki admits.

"I did get your letters and all that. It didn't make things any better. I will think about what you're saying. I can't promise that I will come there. We will see. I do like Ichiru, are you going to stand in the way of that?" Ai asks.

"No, i will never stand in the way of your happiness. If he feels the same I wish you the best of luck. You both just need to grow up a bit before taking this on." Yuki says.

"Fine, I agree to that," Ai responds. Looking at Yuki a bit differently.

Ai isn't sure what to believe, she did know Yuki was up to something but she was making her be aware of it. Which she found a bit odd. Why tell her? Didn't she know she would run to Kaname? She couldn't see why she would trust her with.

She was a bit thrown off about being invited to stay with her also. Did she go? See what she was all about for real? Or just let it go? Ai wasnt sure at the moment what to do. She needed time to think.

Yuki on the other hand, was glad to be honest with Ai, hoping in time that would make her a bit closer to her. Hoping that she would go with them, so they could spend time together and she could let her see what she really was. Yuki wanted a relationship with her, she just wasnt willing to sacrifice herself for it. She wasnt going to let Kaname have any leverage over her. He already had two big things, Zero and Ichiru. She didn't need to add anything else.
