[Oh...

...hey.]

[Speaking of adorable children...]

... Yuuki.

You've grown.

[Still adorable, though.]

[D'aaaw.]

Yes. This place is a bit...strange.

I don't mind.

I'm happy to be able to see that you've grown into a cute young woman.

[Father...

Ah. It's heartbreaking. Bittersweet to see him again, just as it's always been with mother, too.]

Some places aren't-- [She doesn't want to say 'safe'. It'll only worry him.]

Ideal.

[But mother would be so relieved and happy to see him again. Yuuki, of course, too.]

[He knows when you kids are trying to hide something. Parents know everything.

Still, he smiles serenely.]

That is even more of a reason for me to be with all of you.

[But he's already sacrificed so much for them.]

Father doesn't think enough about himself.

That is what a father does.

[He does whatever he has to for his family.]

All that I need is for you to be safe and happy.

[And Juri hugs.]

[Father was always...always such a kind person. She smiles sadly.]

I've missed you.

[Her smile...]

Yuuki... please smile brightly. That is the future we wanted for you.

Yes. I know...

[And she could never ask for a better adoptive father. But it has been lonely without them, too.]

I am. I'm together with mother in one of my homes and with someone important to me. I am happy with the two of them.

Someone important to you?

[She didn't say Kaname. Father is intrigued.]

[A-Ahh, well about your son, presently... it's been quite a while since she's seen him. Even at home. Or when she has... he just slips away.]

His name is Zero Kiryuu. We grew up together. Around when I was eleven, the chairman took guardianship over him.

[Oh... he probably wouldn't realize who 'the chairman' is either.]

That is- The chairman, Kaien Kurosu, is who legally took custody over me.

[Kaname has always been a little distant. He's always worried about him.]

A vampire Hunter and that man.

[...]

You are very much like Juri.

They seem to have taken very good care of you.

I'm happy to hear it.

[Truly. Kaien is a good man, he knows. Juri only liked good people.]

One day you will have to tell me the stories of your life.

It sounds like mother kept strange company too.

[It's said with affection. All she can remember are the few stories she used to tell her as a child. They didn't get much company, considering Yuuki was a secret, after all.]

I would be happy to share with father.

[She'll simply spare him of current events. Undoubtedly...knowledge of Kaname would make both him and mother sad. And her plans to stop him...she could never look them in the eye and utter.

I'm sorry Mother, and Father...]

She kept good company.

[As much as he did not care for his first meeting with that man, he had proven himself quite well.]

Tell me of these homes of yours.

Well-- they...

[She has three. Two of which... they might not meet father's approval. She hesitates uncertainly.]

I have more than one. In one... everyone resides in an underwater [prison] dome, named Marina. In another... the city is called Anatole. The place is surrounded by a dangerous mist. People who wind up there are called the scorched. I'm still getting used to that place, to be honest.

As for the last one... [Ahh... how to describe the world of Zodion]

There's...gods. They like... worshiping, and things...

[But mentioning how to worship to her father is something she can't bring herself to do.]

Mother is there in that place with myself and Zero.

[He does not like the sound of any of these. What kind of places are these 'homes'?]

They don't sound much like 'homes' at all.

[Homes are nice and pretty and welcoming. Not underwater, not with dangerous mist and funny names and certainly no worshiping gods.]

T-They're a little atypical, I'll admit.

[Although she has to wonder just what sort of home her father would be approving of for her. Probably a place covered with pillows and full of fluffy puppies and kittens. And all you can eat parfaits.

....... Actually, she wouldn't mind a place like that either.]

Haruka...I'm selfish.

( juri sighs. )

I need you here with me in this game that my mun has placed me..

[Oh. His Juri says she needs him. That is especially serious!]

Your mun is being cruel to you?

Well not particularly...she has others in Zodion but...

( she goes to him and rests her shoulder upon his head. )

I'll be forced...to sleep with someone else.

( as strong as she wants to be...she just can't. tears begin to pour from her eyes. )

[Haruka's arms wrap around her protectively, lips pressed thin. She's upset, even without her tears, even if he were across the world, he would know.]

I won't allow it.

[He is very certain of this.]

You say it is a place called Zodion?

( she leans into him in return and looks up. )

Yes, Zodion. It isn't a bad place overall, I've made lots of friends, but that worshipping part is awful

[He is liking this place less and less. Worship?]

It is not a place you should be forced to remain.

[His lips press against the top of her head.]

I will take you from that place, Juri.

What about Yuuki, Haruka?

( she holds onto him gently, strong hands rubbing against his back. )

Tell me father

[It won't hurt to call him Father. Just this once]

Is it absolutely necessary for Yuuki and I to be involved in this?

A father should watch over and protect his children, Kaname.

[He likes the sound of 'father' very much.]

Even when they have grown.

I understand that. But what about Yuuki. It won't be safe for her.

...Haruka! ♥

[Her darling husband! She goes instantly to his side.]

Juri. ♥

[Beautiful Juri. He leans close while ~~stealthily~~ slipping an arm around her waist.]

I've missed you.

I've missed you, too. [She presses against him like particularly devoted velcro.]

It's been so long for me... I was starting to think I wouldn't ever see your face again.

[He likes this very much. A hand moves to brush hair behind her ear, his face pressing to the crown of her head.]

I'm sorry you've been alone for so long. Have you been well, Juri?

I'm doing much better now that you're here.

[That name should sound familiar to Yuuki, but it doesn't. Woops! Pre-vamp Yuuki is clueless about that. Nonetheless...]

That's a wonderful sentiment
