Vampire's Assistant

Eleven

"Yami!"

I turned. It was Hanabusa. "Oh, hello Nabu. What are you doing up this late while being awake during the day?"

"I was going to ask you the same thing."

"I went to talk to Kaname."

"How did that go?"

I sighed, looking down. "Do you think there's a place we can talk? Without anyone listening?"

"The moon dorm is empty. Shall I make you something to drink?"

"That would be great."

Getting to the moon dormitory, I noticed that Hanabusa seemed to be acting a bit jumpy. He made drinks, but he didn't have the same as mine. I got a hot cocoa, but he was drinking a cup of blood replacements.

"Are you hungry?"

"I already ate."

I put my hand on his arm. "That's not what I meant. There's nobody around for days and you can't take anything from humans. If you are, I can help."

"No, I'm okay..."

"Just because I'm a pureblood, doesnt mean I don't want to help. Please don't be as stubborn as Akatsuki. If you need some, take mine."

His eyes went wide. "Are you sure?"

"If we're getting married one day, we should be comfortable with each other."

"Alright."

He leaned in, but before he could take a bite, I stopped him. "Wait, there's something I need to ask you."

"I'll answer anything honestly, Yami."

"Do you know your heritage?"

"Heritage? Yeah, I'm an aristocrat vampire from the Aido Family."

"Do you know where the Aido family comes from?"

"From what I remember, the first Aido showed up centuries ago. From what I heard, the first Aido was from the child of a child of an original vampire."

"Rei, right?"

"Rei's daughter married a man with the Aido name, yeah. Why do you ask?"

"So you don't know... I guess that's fair, since I didn't even know until Kaname told me."

He looked worried. "What is it?"

"Back when I was an original vampire, I was with the very first Kuran vampire. We were in love and we're suppose to be married, but a week before the wedding, I was killed."

"Kuran? Oh, I think I know where this is going..."

"I didn't know it, but there was a child. Rei. Kuran took care of him."

He looked shocked, but also sad. "I knew we came from a branch of the Kuran family, but the Hio family too?"

"I guess it wasn't wanted to be known. But Nabu, this is my second chance. This is my chance to fix things for my life. I really do love you, and I hope you love me the same even after hearing that."

He put a hand on my cheek. "Of course I do. I love you more than Lord Kaname."

"You love me more than you love him, or more than he loves me?"

"There's a difference?"

I sighed. "There is still things he won't let me say. I wish I could, but right now I'm still in shock that I even had a child in what seems like another life. This is something called rebirth, a miracle I didn't ask for. Kaname had this planned out from the moment he knew about me, I'm sure of it. I bet he planned everything right down to Akatsuki finding me."
