A/N: Hey guys! I'm sooooo sorry for the long update, I have been super busy with everything and graduate school…I haven't had any time to write recently! On top of that, my mind has been racing because there are so many ways I can take my stories! Look forward to more (and hopefully quicker) updates! XOXO

Chapter 6:

~~~~~~Later that Night~~~~

"What do you mean you have a daughter?" A shocked Kain asked.

"It means what it means, I have a daughter…and she's named after my mother."

Kaname fell on the couch covering his face with his hands. Why did she keep this a secret from me? I am Juri's father, I had every right to know.

"How old is she?"

"Seven…"

"Well, it does add up. It's been about seven years…."

"I know!" Kaname growled.

Nothing irritated Kaname more than being reminded of the fateful night where he watched Yuki slowly leave the Night Class Dormitory. He never received any news on Yuki, he didn't know if she was alive or dead, but to find out seven years later that he had a daughter, he was happy and upset at the same time. Why didn't Yuki tell him when he ran into that night? Was she ashamed?

"What now, Master Kaname?" Kain asked.

He sat up and walked to the window and looked across campus to the Day Class Dormitory where his wife and daughter lived.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~WITH YUKI~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"How was the lecture Juri?"

"It was alright, I met a new friend!"

"Really, who?" Yuki asked, as she finished putting away the clean dishes.

"Her name was….um…." Juri thought to herself, "Oh yeah! Matsuki!"

Chairman Cross entered the room and smiled as he saw his niece at the table.

"Sorry, for running late. I had a meeting with Kain."

Yuki dropped a plate hearing the familiar name; hoping that Kaien kept Juri a secret. She turned around and looked at him; all he did was smile. With that smile, Yuki knew that he didn't tell Kaien.

"Mom, are you ok?" Juri asked from the table.

"Yes." Yuki cleared her throat, "Go wash up for dinner now."

Juri smiled and walked over to the sink to wash up for dinner, just like she was told. Yuki continued to clean up the shattered plate, thinking back to the night when she left Kaname. These past seven years have been the greatest time of her life, being given a daughter; watching her grow up and achieve at everything her mind was put to.

"Mom, the person who gave the meeting today…he kept looking at me more than other students…." Juri mumbled.

Yuki turned away from the sink and began to pour Juri's dinner in her bowl, wondering who it could've been. Walking into the dining room, she placed her dinner in front of Juri and joined her at the table, as did Kain.

"Do you remember what he looked like?" Kain asked, as he pulled himself into the table.

Juri took a bite of her soup and thought for a while.

"Hmmmm, he was tall and very, very, very skinny. Long brown hair to his shoulders."

Yuki and Kain immediately looked to each other, the only man they knew that resembled her brief description was her father.

"Juri, hun. How about you go watch T.V while you eat…?" Kain suggested.

"Can I, mom?"

Yuki nodded with a smile.

"Yay!" Juri cheered as she took her bowl of soup to the other room, and resumed eating her dinner.

Kain looked over his shoulder to make sure Juri was distracted well enough to where she wouldn't eavesdrop into the conversation.

"Could it be, Kain?" Yuki asked worriedly.

"Well…he is one of the oldest vampires here…and one of two progenies…" Kain whispered, "If it wasn't you at the meeting, it has to be Kaname."

Yuki clenched her hand into a fist, slamming it down onto the table.

"Fuck!"

"Yuki?"

"I didn't want him to find out," Yuki said.

"You knew he was going to find out sometime soon, it just unfortunate that he found out this way and things may only get worse from here. Now that he knows, and he knows you kept her a secret this long…things are going to get much worse."

Yuki grasped the glass next to her and shattered it with one tight squeeze. Now that Kaname knows about Juri, he may try to take her away from me… Yuki shook her head to erase that thought from her mind.

~~~~~~~In Juri's Room~~~~~~~~

"Mom…?"

"Yes, Juri." Yuki responded as she locked and closed the windows in Juri's room.

"Are you okay?"

"Of course, sweetie…why would you ask?" Yuki responded as she pulled down all the drapes to darken her daughters' room from the outside.

She shrugged as she jumped into bed, watching her mothers' movements; worrying about her constant pacing. Yuki walked over to her daughters' bed and tucked her in her sheets as she kissed her forehead.

"Ready for classes tomorrow?"

"Sure…I guess…" Juri mumbled.

"First day jitters, you'll get over them soon…just remember who you are."

Juri smiled as she let out a yawn before closing her eyes. Yuki kissed her forehead again, and walked to the door.

Looking back at Juri, Yuki mumbled, "I won't let any harm come to you."

Yuki then closed the door to her daughters' room, locked it and tucked the key into her jacket before she proceeded down the hall to think of ways to protect her daughter from the man she used to love.
