Welcome to my world in the darkness.

It is a a great honor to meet any young woman who would like to be my friend.
My heart is perhaps more hidden, but maybe I have not seen all the world can offer in my long years of living.

Happy Valentines Day

Good evening, ladies. *runs hand through dripping hair* I must leave again soon, but I hope this painting is acceptable. *leaves on table and leaves again*

Another moment

Kaname sipped the rose tea quietly, watching the fire hissing in the fireplace. A log slipped, but still Kaname could hear the light footsteps of someone drawing back.

He chuckled. "Yuuki, you don't have to stay over there."

He didn't turn from the fire as she tiptoed over to his chair. "You didn't wake me," she whispered.

"No, I didn't, I thought I'd let-"

Yuuki's arm slipped around his neck, silencing his reason. Chin on his shoulder, her words drifted over to her ear. "You don't have to be alone, Kaname. I want to start over, but that doesn't mean you have to stay away. I- I want to help." Kaname set his tea down in silence, face unreadable. "Kaname.."

He touched her hand. "Thank you, Yuuki..." He felt her soft smile embrace him, warming his skin, as he ran his fingers through a long lock of her hair. Her efforts were still so innocent, even after seeing his past. He stood up, lacing his hand with hers, and moved to the sofa, tugging Yuuki over to it. "Now, you have a place to sit, in case you get tired again."

"What about you?"

A slow smile formed as he ghosted his lips over Yuuki's. "I will watch over you." Until the game is won...

With much gratitude for this lady

I wish to extend congratulations and heartfelt gratitude to Lady Kira. Demoness, you have been a true friend from the beginning and have always been quite giving and understanding with me. You deserve the new rank of Close Friend.

Just a small thank you for three ladies who have waited patiently for their promotions.

Kita and Kira,you are now my friends. It is always peaceful to talk to you both.

Also, Lady Blood, I am glad we have had those talks in the lonely nights. You've earned the rank of #1 Fan.

I hope to continue spending such lovely times with all of my fans.

I have returned from my travels, and since the meetings have finally dwindled, I will appear here more often. It will quite a change from my last month. *chuckles quietly* For one, I won't be locked in that many chess matches. Second, I will be able to see the moon more frequently.
