Yuki was utterly delighted and took his hand. "I was hoping you would ask. Yes, please." She and he went to the middle of the room and started to move to the music in a waltz. "I never asked for your name sir."
He held on to her firmly. "My name is Cedric. I'm from the Okami clan and I'm only twenty-five years old." He had answered her while they danced. "What is your name, little vampire princess?"
'He's actually younger than me.' She smiled. "My name is Yuki and I am seventy-five years old but the last party I was not able to attend for personal reasons."
The song ended and Cedric leads her back to her parents. "I'm going to take her back to her room. I will leave after that." He bowed to Luna and Ryan and then guided Yuki to her room. He opened the door and closed it when he entered. He undid his suit coat and hung it on the handle of the door and then undid his shirt and pulled it down exposing his neck. He watched as Yuki excitedly walked up to him. Her fangs were showing. She kissed his neck and the sank her fangs in. He could feel his blood leaving his body but he held her gently. Running his hands down her back. She stopped drinking and sealed the wound up. When she got off of him he did up the buttons on his suit and put his coat back on. "I hope we can meet again Yuki." He said then left the room and left the house.
That memory faded and Cedric started to come to. Yuki had moved Cedric to the bedroom when he was out cold from his memories. She was laying beside him. 'It's almost dawn.' She yawned as Cedric's eyes fluttered open. She looked into his eyes. "Are you okay Master Cedric?"
Cedric blinked a few times. He was a bit dazed as Yuki still looked the same as she did in his memories. "Yuki, do you remember your past…...with me?" Cedric brought his hand to her cheek. 'I worried her so much.' He blinked a few times and looked at his surroundings. "How did we get back to the room?"
Yuki blinked at Cedric's question. "Your memories were blocked. I broke the spell on them but I don't know if that'll unblock my memories. I don't know what you are talking about…" She stops and her head starts hurts but nothing comes back to her. "I can't force myself to remember." Her hands were supporting her weight but the pain was immense. "I carried you back to the room. I'm not weak, especially after I drank so much blood." She stopped talking and lowered her body to be next to him. "I am not able to stay awake anymore." She had put her head on his chest before passing out.
Cedric looked at the time. 'I was out for a lot longer than I expected.' He patted her cheek and held her body close to his. 'She unlocked my missing memories. I hope that she will remember our past soon.' He thought this then fell asleep with her in his arms. Cedric didn't have any more dreams and slept deeply. He woke up at noon and untangled himself from the sleeping Yuki. He got up, yawned and got dressed for the day. He left the room and headed to the kitchen. He didn't think to shackle her before leaving the room. Cedric got to the kitchen and took the sandwich from the counter and walked to his study. Sitting down he ate the sandwich while opening his laptop up. The emails were the usual work emails. Cedric answered and sent off the finished projects from his translating job. Cedric finished his meal and finished sending off all the emails. He got up and walked over to the side table and opened all the mail and work packages. 'They really like to work me to the bone.' He shook his head and left the study heading to the room he had taken Yuki to last night. He pulled out a package that was hidden behind one of the bookcases and brought it to the bedroom. He sat down in the chair with the package in his lap and waited for Yuki to awaken.
