Rido hated himself for letting her go but he had no choice. If he fought to keep her, he would risk Ran getting hurt. He didn't care if he got hurt or killed Haruka or Juri but he knew Ran would try to stop him. She was too caring in that way but he never saw it as a weakness. She cared about who she loved and he knew she would think that he would hate himself if he hurt Juri or Haruka. But the truth was he hated Haruka for taking Juri from him when they were younger. His hate grew the day they took Kaname in, he couldn't stand the both of them by this point. He hated them even more now that he was taking Ran away from him. He hated Juri for choosing Haruka over him and now that hate was strengthened by her helping Haruka. But what made it worse was they were doing this for Kaname. Rido wanted to keep Ran safe.
He had a plan to get her back, a plan where she would be safe while he killed them. She wouldn't have to see him do what he had to do, she would still love him. He had to bring his followers together, together they would attack the mansion that Haruka and Juri called home. He knew that if he stepped close enough for them to sense him they would hide Ran. Hide her to keep her 'safe' when the real threat was their precious Kaname.
Rido never understood them. Kaname was flesh and blood but he was not their son. That man had lived long enough to be on his own and find a bride. But they took him in and kept him in their home and now he was stealing his Ran. Kaname was poisoning their minds, turning them against their own brother. Betraying their own brother. Enough was enough. He would have Ran back no matter what. It was time to call on his followers.
A few days later Ran was sat on a stone bench in the gardens, Yuki was sat next to her.
"Why do you dress so formally?" Yuki inquired as she eyed Ran's black high-collared knee length dress and heels. Always she seemed to wear was black, Yuki wondered if that was the only colour her clothes were in.
"I am staying with the royal family, I have to be formal." Ran answered and Yuki sighed.
"Mother said you would be staying for a while, why don't you relax?" Yuki then asked and Ran looked at her confused. "How about I give you make over!" Yuki shouted happily and pulled Ran up to her feet before she could say no.
Yuki took Ran up to her room before going straight to the closet. Ran sighed and sat down on the bed, watching Yuki going through her clothes. She hoped Yuki wouldn't leave them in a mess. By the end, Ran was wearing a pair of light blue demin ripped jeans, a grey hoodie with a diagonal zip which still showed off her body but was still slightly baggy and black combat heeled boots. Ran looked in the floor length mirror, unsure if it was right to be so casual. Yuki then pulled Ran over to her dresser. "Now for hair and makeup!" Yuki said happily. Yuki finished and Ran now had a twisted ponytail, winged eyeliner and a little bit of lip gloss. "What do you think?" Yuki asked with a smile and Ran looked nervous.
"Are you sure it'll be ok to be casual like this?" Ran asked her worry was clear in her voice and Yuki nodded with a smile.
"Come on, let's show mother." Yuki said excited and Ran was dragged off again.
Ran had finally escaped Yuki and was now sat in the library, reading. She hadn't heard the door open, she was too engrossed in the book. Kaname spotted Ran across the room. He was surprised to see her dressed so casually. He smiled to himself, she still looked as beautiful there as she was in a gown.
He walked up to her and cleared his throat. Ran jumped and looked up at him.
"I'm sorry about thinking you needed to be looked after." Kaname spoke softly.
"It's ok, I shouldn't have lashed out at you, I'm sorry Kaname-sama." She replied and Kaname shook his head.
"Don't call me that." He told her and she blushed.
"I'm sorry Kaname." Kaname smiled and sat down next to her.
"Here." He passed her the bracelet he had given her. "You dropped it when you turned into bats." He told her and watched as she put it on. "It's an impressive ability." He added and watched her blush again.
"Thank you." She smiled.
"I'm glad to see you've settled in now." He said trying to make conversation. Ran looked confused and then down at her outfit.
"Oh, this? Yuki wanted to give me a makeover." She told him. "She wanted me to be more casual." She explained and Kaname smiled.
"Good, you don't need to be formal with us anymore. Mother wants you to feel at home here." He told her and she looked down at the book.
Her home was with Rido. She had been wondering about his plan since she had come here. She wanted to know what was going and when he was going to take her back. Kaname sensed her sadness. "What's wrong Ran?" He asked her. "I'm sorry if I reminded you of your parents." He added quickly. Ran nodded, he must have thought that she felt home was where her parents were.
"It's ok Kaname." She said with a soft sigh. He gave her a small smile and gently placed his hand on hers. She looked up at him.
"Ran I won't lie to you." Kaname started. "I am in love with you." He told and she looked at him a little shocked, she knew he was interested her but she didn't know he was in love with her. "But I won't rush you into anything. However, I would like to get to know you better, maybe take you a date?" He asked her. Ran started at him, she didn't want to because of Rido but he told her to play along. "I would like to take you out tomorrow night for dinner." He carried on.
"I think that would be nice." She replied after a short pause. "What will be the dress code?" She asked nervously and Kaname smiled happily.
"Elegant." He told her and the kissed the back of her hand, making her blush. "I will be waiting for you at seven in the hall." He added before standing up. "Goodbye." He added and left. Ran sat there trying to take in what happened, she hoped Rido would be able to forgive her.
The next day she spent the whole day trying to find something to wear. She had asked Yuki what Kaname's favourite colour was, red. She managed to find a floor length, off the shoulder carmine dress. The maids pulled the corset back as tight as they could, she wondered how she could still breathe. She put her hair in a half up, half down style, letting her curls fall free. She put some ruby earrings in before she put on some silver eyeshadow and black eyeliner. She quickly put some light pink lip gloss and slipped into her dark red heels. She took a deep breath and picked up her red lace clutch bag that matched the red lace that covered the dress.
When she entered the hall she saw Kaname waiting for her in a black dinner suit. She blushed and smiled when she saw his eyes widen.
"Is this ok?" She asked looking nervous.
"You look magnificent." He told her and gently took her arm. "Shall we go?" He then asked and she nodded, with a small smile.
They arrived at a restaurant, a very expensive restaurant. She felt a little out of place, of course, she was a pureblood and lived a life of luxury, but she hadn't been out many places before. A lot of the staff and customers looked over at them and bowed their heads at Kaname. She couldn't help noticing the glares from some of the surrounding women. Kaname seemed the sense her unease and gently squeezed her hand. He led her to a candlelit table by the window which looked out onto the ocean. She smiled as she sat, she loved the view. Her smile grew as she saw the menu, it did world foods, she missed trying all different types of food. Her father was Spanish, he was always making different Spanish foods. Her mother was the same, she made Greek dishes, mostly ones she ate as a child. She loved it. Kaname smiled slightly at the large smile that adorned her features. He had finally made her smile, a true smile.
Kaname ordered them champagne as they decided on their food. Ran chose the paella while Kaname chose takoyaki. "Being adventurous." Kaname commented.
"My parents weren't Japanese, my father was Spanish and my mother was Greek so I got try a lot of different foods." She told him with a small smile.
"Interesting." He said as he took a sip of champagne. He wondered why they had a Japanese last name. May be they changed it when they moved? Or maybe her family were Japanese but her parents happened to be born and raised in Europe? He made a mental note to ask her about it some other time.
"I see you're a fan of seafood." She spoke up after a short silence.
"I'll eat most things but I do enjoy trying Yuki's creations in the kitchen. She enjoys cooking but sometimes she isn't that good." He told and Ran nodded in understanding. "I'm glad you went with red." He then added as he looked her up and down. Ran blushed.
"I asked Yuki what your favourite colour was." She admitted with a sheepish smile. She noticed how Kaname remained many stoic, not showing much emotion. It annoyed her to no end. If you love someone you should always show your emotions to them. You don't shut them out.
"Is something wrong?" Kaname suddenly asked her.
"It's nothing." Ran answered quickly. Kaname frowned and his hand reached out to touch hers. She looked at him confused.
"Ran you can tell me anything." He encouraged her.
"Well, you don't seem to be as open anymore." She admitted looking down at her hands. Kaname moved his hand quickly as their food arrived. Ran let out a small sigh before she started eating.
"Ran I'll explain when we get home, ok?" He told and she nodded, not wanting cause a scene.
For the rest of the evening, they didn't speak very much, mostly small talk. Kaname wondered if it was a good idea taking her out not long after what happened. He had hoped she would be flirting with him after he went to all the effort but all he could feel from her was anger. He couldn't work out why. He was glad she was wearing the bracelet or he wouldn't have an idea how she was feeling.
