Vampire Knight (Kaname Kuran X OC X Senri)

Chapter 3 Life in the Shiki Household

Two years later:

"Kaname-sama," The said pureblood looked up from the book he was reading while seated on a secluded corner of the Ichijo mansion library.

"What is the matter Miyu?" it was not Kaname Kuran that questioned, it was Takuma Ichijo, the heir to the Ichijo family who had occupied the seat beside the Kuran pureblood.

"Master Takuma, we received a phone call for Kaname-sama?"

That got the pureblood's attention right away. His eyes moved from the book only to focus on the red head female. "Is it from a man by the name of Kaien Cross?" that is the only phone call that concerns him.

"No milord, it's from the Shiki household."

Kaname's interest on the matter was killed instantly!

Takuma faced his friend to find him sighing out of relief. He fully understood Kaname's reason because phone calls from Kaien Cross only came bearing bad news regarding Yuki. Though it was painfully obvious that majority of the time the man lied but Kaname however never took the chance to brush it away as some sort of silly banter; not when it involved Yuki.

"Thank you Miyu, I will take it from here." Takuma personally got up to take the cordless receiver from the maid, marched back towards his friend and passed it on to him.

Kaname took the phone without even looking up from his book. There was slight hint of annoyance in his eyes that he did not bother to hide. He placed the device next to his ear and started in an already exhausted voice in hopes that the conversation would end soon.

"...Yes Aiyora...!" His exhausted tone however had no effect on the person on the other side.

"Onii-sama!"

Her loud chirpy voice almost exploded out of the receiver reaching Takuma's ear in the process as well. Making the blonde wonder if his friend has already gone deaf. He looked in Kaname's direction again to see that he was growling in silence while pinching the bridge of his nose.

Sadly Aiyora was still too young to understand that her onii-sama wasn't interested in talking to her in this hour. Or in Takuma's observation ever! Like Kaname would never bother to call her once, not even in weeks or months. Words about Aiyora he had been collecting from the head of the Shiki house whereas the poor girl calls him on a daily basis.

It is quite clear to all that Kaname Kuran actually wants nothing to do with her. But when it comes to Yuki, it's a whole different story. The pureblood personally would call Kaien Cross every other day to inquire about her. There are times when Cross would give the phone to Yuki, and Kaname no doubt would usually spend the next few hours just listening to her.

"Onii-sama... I miss you so much. Why do I never see you? When will I see you next? Aiyora wants to see her Onii-sama!" the last part was more of a combination of demand and request.

"I am not so sure Ai, after all I happen to be quite busy in the recent times."

"Onii-sama I had a bad dream, a monster was trying to eat me. I was so scared that I woke up crying... When you come visit me will you help me go to sleep by cuddling with me?... Onii-sama can you also bring a picture of yourself... I will keep it next to my bed so that I don't feel scared."

Kaname was resting his head over his palm. Aiyora was actually saying so many thing at the same time that it was sort of hard to catch up. But what to do? The girl deep down understood by now that her brother does not have much time in hand so she tried to fit everything within his given timeline.
