Aw...sad...I feel so bad for Kaname

This was a really powerful piece of writing, dear! You were obviously bitten very hard by that little angsty bunny!

It's impossible not to feel sorry for poor little Kaname but I like what you've done here - showed the inner steel strength he has. So young yet already aware of the Council members - how loathsome and deceitful they were yet knowing he just HAD to play his part if it could mean Yuuki's (who else) safety and his own 'freedom' as it were... ouch! *massages her aching chest*

Of course he didn't mean to kill them but still... he could not help it and we do not blame Kaname in the least for draining those two girls' blood! And how awful that they meant for him to iingest the drugs in their blood...

Ichijo was magnificently loathsome and if I could, I'd stab him myself!

Thank goodness for Takuma... even if Kaname didn't know how true a friend and ally he would prove to be (in your AU world) *weak giggle at the giant purple elephant*

Poor Kaname, having one more thing to add to his ever growing list of nightmares. Well, at least those nobles are there for him...

Oh, and Zero too, one day! *could not resist adding in the hunter*

Aw. Poor Kaname. I really love these stories of his past. They do so much in explaining his character, and shaping the man he becomes. Really fantastic story, as always. Hope you write more soon!

Waw that was a really good story :)

It makes me hate Ichiou even more lol.
And how dare the council to do such a thing to Kaname ! *glares at all of them*

I liked the epilogue too. Takuma is such a good friend, Kaname don't know it yet that's all ;) *hugs Takuma*

Well, I don't have anything more to say :) Your writing is as wondeful as usual... You always seem to have excellent plots for fanfiction, huh ? /\/\

Thanks a lot for this lovely oneshot =)

See you

OMG, Crap! I don't have time to leave you a long review, but I nearly cried with this one-shot!! That scene of the manga left me so shocked, trying to imagine the psycological torture that had endured Kaname, that I was almost to the point of tears when I started reading your fic. Oh, poor boy!! He had grown up repressing all emotions: laugh, smile, fear, disgust, anger... having to look as an ice cub for his sake and Yuuki's. No wonder it's so difficult for him now to show his feelings *cries again like a silly*.

And, of course, he can't trust anybody. ANYBODY, not even Takuma, despite how badly he desires love and comfort. That glimpse of the relation between him and Takuma was priceless: we're used to see a loyal Takuma and Kaname more or less trusting him, but what if he distrusts him a bit? even after so many years? What would have thought Kaname when Takuma chosed to protect Rido (even if it was only for Senri's sake)? *hugs Kaname with vampiric strengh*.

Poor Kaname, he can't even trust his own mind, with all this mental manipulation from Ichijo... Add that to the confusing flashbacks of the ancestor thing and you have and even more poor, confused and lonely soul. An all that, keeping Yuuki's sake in mind. No wonder he nearly lost control when he found her asleep.

I'm rambling, I know, but righ now I'm lost in Kaname's tenderness.

I loved the way you explained Kaname's behaviour, why he's entangled in the council conspirations and the bad things they could do to him if he shows any weakness *cries like an ocean again* No wonder he killed them all, they deserve that!.

And Ichiou was DISGUSTING, totally DISGUSTING!! I hate you!! *waves fist at him while hugging Kaname*

"After all, you should remember the lives you destroy". How many nightmares could have Kaname, after of those years in the darkness?

*finish reading your fic still crying like an idiot* ah, how (masochistic) happy you made me!

I... I am speechless...really...

Somehow reading the manga didn't make me this sad but after reading your story, my heart sort of sank deeper. T_T Kaname's life is full of unfairness and everything bad that happens seemed to happen on him alone. And when he is suffering so lonely, Yuki is living happily (at least, for that moment) with the Chairman and all. Aww...

Thanks for your story though! :D

Another fantastic piece. I gotta say, after reading the last chapter of the manga, my heart hurt so freaking much for Kaname.

He's so very broken, and it made me wonder just what exactly Ichiou and the stupid council did to him. I'm willing to bet money that Ichiou nasty Uncle Diddles.

I wonder if Yuuki will realize eventually just how damaged that Kaname is and how he really needs her to just hug him without asking anything. Hino is really gona have to delve into their relationship...*totally nothing to do with the fact that I would not mind more Kana/Yuuki scenes*

I really liked how vulnerable that you made Kaname here. I loved the line about the fly and the spiders that he thought while drinking from the girls. And you definantly made his sorrow ring through in the story.

I LOVED how in the end Takuma came in all sunny and just like "Hey what's up?! *moves around the giant elephant* I BROUGHT COOKIES!" which is how it's always been with him and Takuma. They really do have that silent reassuring friendship that is so overlooked but so heartfelt.

Bravo!

Very riveting.

Your words held me from start to finish. Young Kaname's plight was so well described, I felt like I was there and so sorry for him.

Thank you!

I wanna strangle those guys. Kaname kinda reminds me a bit of Itachi, in a way.

I wonder, what was Takuma's reaction when he first found out that humans weren't simply food?

that was depressing but good, as always
i think i'd be dopeass if you made a story centring around the girl(s) but maybe not, cause there'd be no yaoi xD
