Taken Ch. 14

Side Note: The dream that Sakura has is when she's about four or five. It explains a little bit on how Kaname knows who she actually is. It also kind of shows that Rido has protected her from the outside world. Rido does love Sakura to death. He does have a feeling of who she is.

      What is this place? And why does it look so familiar? I asked myself. Is this where I grew up with my father? It must be.
     'Daddy, I'm scared,' A young girl said. 'Can I stay in here with you?'
     'Sure thing princess. Did you have another nightmare?' My father asked.
     I nodded. Tears were streaming down my face. My dad picked me up. 'I want mommy.'
    'I know you do sweetheart. I wish she was here too. But there's nothing I can do. I miss her. I don't know what I would do if I lost you as well.'
    'Onii-san?' A woman asked.
    'Auntie,' I choked. My eyes were red.
    'Come here sweetie,' Juuri said.
    My father let me down. I ran over to her. I hugged her. I only came up to her knees.
    'Sakura-chan are you all right?' A gentle voice asked.
    I looked to see my cousin. 'Kaname,' I said. I left my aunt's side to go to his. I hugged him. 'No I'm not.'
   'Honey why don't go play with him while I talk to my sister?' My father asked.
   I nodded.
   I guess I was really close to Kaname when I was younger. He must of been my only friend when we were kids. Wait if I was four or five when I was taken, Kaname had to be six or so.

     'Kaname-sama?' I, well the youngest version of me, said. 'Why does daddy want to keep me protected?'
     'I'm not sure,' He answered. He hugged me. 'I care for you too. I love you.'
     'Kaname-sama.' I wrapped my arms around him. 'I'm scared. Stay with me?' I asked.
     'I will princess.'
     'Sakura Kuran?' Someone asked.
     'What do you want with a Sakura Kuran?' Kaname asked him.
    'She's in danger. She needs to be protected. Her father killed a rare vampire. He will go after her as well. Sakura can't remember who she actually is. She might try to come back.'
    'Sakura's a rare vampire? What happened to her mother? What will happen to her? I won't let her go. Let me go with her.'
   'She is. Her mother was one, and she was killed by her father. I can't allow you to go with her.'
   'Get away from my daughter,' A voice said. 'You're not taking her from me.'
   'Daddy is he telling the truth?' I asked not leaving Kaname's side.
   Nothing was said. People came out of nowhere.
   'Kaname what's going?' I asked freaked.
   'I don't know. Don't take her. Please don't take her,' Kaname begged.
    I felt arms pull me away from him. 'Kaname-sama!' I screamed. 'Kaname-sama!' I tried to get away. 'Let me go. I don't want to leave. Please let me go.' Whoever pulled me away from Kaname covered my mouth.
    'Sakura-chan!' Kaname hollered. 'Sakura-chan! Sakura-chan!' But it was no use. I saw Kaname get knocked out. Tears ran down my face.
   'Take her away and arrest Rido Kuran.'
   With that I was taken away from Kaname and knocked unconscious.
   I shot up. I noticed that I was soaked in sweat. I was ripped away Kaname. I was really close to him. I must have really liked him. Kaname really wanted to protect me. Am I really a rare vampire? Is Aidou telling me the truth? I started to cry.
   "Sakura-chan?" A voice asked me.
   I looked up to see Aidou sitting down next to me on the bed. I wiped my eyes. "What is it Aidou?"
   "Are you all right? I've been really worried about you. Why did you run away from me earlier? Please tell me. I know that something's bothering you. Please tell me. I want to help. I don't want to be helpless. Please Sakura-chan," Aidou begged me.
   "I-I can't Aidou. I'm sorry. I wish I could," I whispered.
   "Yes you can. You can tell me anything. I won't hate, or ignore you if that's what you're worried about."
   I looked at him in shock. "How did yo-"
   "How did I know that you were worried? I know you. Even before I met you, I was able to tell some of what you were feeling. Mainly if you were feeling sad, depressed, worried, or if you were badly injured."
   "I see. I really don't want you to hate me."
   "I won't ever hate you princess." Aidou tried to kiss me, but I backed away. "Did I do something princess?"
   "Please don't call me princess. It brings back some painful memories." I gulped. "Before I was taken from my father, I spent most of my time with Kaname. He was the only person, well kid, that I knew. Kaname would call me princess whenever I was with him. I wasn't able to tell who ordered the people to take me away, and hide me somewhere safe."
   "You poor the thing." Aidou pulled me into him. "It's all right. Is there anything else my dear, sweet, precious princess?"
   I giggled. "It's just that I don't know how I feel. I have conflicting feelings towards you and Kaname. I guess the only way Kaname knew who I was, was because he knew me back then."
   "You're just scared. It's still a little new to isn't it?"
    I nodded. "You're not mad at me are you? I still want you to be by my side when I need you."
     He shook his head. "I'm not. It's understandable. I mean it might take awhile to get use to being a vampire. Even if they were a vampire and lost their memory of being one. I'll still love you no matter what. You're my princess. Always have been, and always will be my princess."
    "I am?" I asked. "You mean it Aidou-chan?"
    "I do," He whispered. Aidou leaned over me. "I'll always be here when you need me. Don't forget that angel."
    I blushed. "I won't." I still melt under his gaze. Maybe I do truly like him. Kaname I have a healthy fear for yet I care for him, but not in the same way I that I care for Aidou.
   "I love you princess," Aidou whispered.
   Aidou tilted my head back a little, and kissed me. Gently. Passionately. Aidou pushed me down on the bed.
   I pushed Aidou up a little. "Aidou-sempai," I whispered. "What are you doing?" I asked out of breath. My heart is racing.
     "Sorry princess," Aidou said. "I didn't mean to get carried away." He sat up.
     I shook my head. I pecked his cheek. "It's all right. Just warn me next time. Or at least try to. I love you too."
    "Does Kaname-sama believe that you might be his relative?" Aidou inquired.
     I shrugged. "I don't think he does. He might. Aidou I think, when I woke up here not remembering what exactly happened, Kaname must have blocked my memory or something. Kaname must have known who I was and tried to get me to remember. But he scared me. I-I don't think he wanted me to be afraid of him."
    "This could be true. At least you know you have family."
    "True. But I still don't know that much about my mother's side of the family. Isn't there documents we could look at, or something?" I asked sheepishly.
    "Sakura, Aidou isn't bothering you is he?" Someone asked.
    We looked up to see Kaname standing a few feet away.
    I freaked a little. "Kaname-sama, how long have you been standing there?" I asked.
    No answer.
    Aidou stood up. "What did you do to her memory, Kaname-sama?" Aidou asked respectively.
   "Both of you need to come down. There's a guest coming."
   "I'll meet you downstairs Sakura," Aidou said. He glared at Kaname before he left.
   "Who's coming?" I asked once Aidou left.
   "Someone you might want to meet. He might be able to help with some blocked memories that you still have," Kaname explained.
    "Right. Thanks. Why won't you answer my original question?"
    "Long enough." Kaname smiled a genuine smile.
    So he really does know who I am. I guess he didn't want me to be scared of him, and not be able to trust him when the time came where I absolutely had to.
   "You'll be fine Sakura," Kaname whispered. "Don't worry I'll be there." Kaname wrapped his arms around me.
    "Thanks Kaname-sama." I hugged him back. "I should probably change."
    "I'll wait." Kaname pecked my cheek.
    I nodded. I gave him a smile.
