Lavander eyes looked up at the crystal clear blue sky. The warm weather always spiked the hunter into a good mood. A silver-haired male walked out of his house, wearing a straw hat on his head along with shorts and a top. Slowly and carefully Zero made his way through his garden that he had spent so much time working on and headed to the beautiful red tomatoes. Grabbing the watering can that was already full of fresh, clean water Zero fed the plants their supply of water for the day.

Loud knocks echoed from the front door. Zero looked behind himself before looking back at the plants. Zero quickly put the watering can to the side and turned around to head back inside until he stopped. Peering over the only neck high wooden fence that led to the front of his house he could see Yuki, Aido and...Kaname.

'What are they doing here?' Zero wondered as he quickly rushed inside and unlocked the door. Yuki looked at him with a great big smile. She looked very different since high school. She had longer hair that curled around the waist, she had some kind of glow to her skin. Zero knew that Kaname had changed her into a pureblood so it was no surprise to the hunter when he saw fangs providing out from under her lips.

Kaname looked the exact same, still looked young and healthy as did Aido who had slightly longer hair than high school.

"What are you guys doing here?" Zero asked curiously. He needed to fight off his upcoming excitement that boiled inside him. He hadn't seen his childhood friend in 20 years.

"Well, Cross is holding a reunion and told us where you lived so that we could give you the invitation," Yuki said and handed Zero a pink letter with the details on the party.

"Thanks, Yuki but I don't really do parties." Zero stated.

Yuki rolled her brown eyes before grabbing one of Zero's cold hands. "Well, can you at least come to this one, please? It's not just a random get together this part is special." Yuki stated. Zero sighed heavily before looking at her.

"I'll think about it." Zero stated and watched as Yuki jumped up and down in joy.

"Thank you!" Yuki stated.

"Do you guys want to come in?" Zero asked curiously as he looked up at Aido. Zero purposely avoided the pureblood for a good reason. He didn't want to feel his heart beat loudly in his chest like 20 years ago. In fact, that was exactly what Zero was worried about. He didn't want his long forgotten feelings coming back.

It always caused him heartache knowing Yuki would only be the one for Kaname.

"Sure," Aido replied to the hunter's offer. Zero stepped to the side quickly and allowed the three into his small house.

"Do you guys want tea or something to eat?" Zero asked as he closed the door and looked at the small group that stood awkwardly.

"No thank you," Yuki replied with a soft shake of her head.

Aido shook his head, his mouth not bothering to say words.

Lavender eyes then made their way to Kaname.

Please don't beat.

Please don't go out of rhythm.

Please don't have feelings for him.

Badum Badum

The pace of his heart got faster and faster making the hunter on the inside groan. He still had feelings for the pureblood, even after twenty years.

Kaname shook his head and continued to stare at the hunter.

'Why is he staring at me like that? Is he afraid I still have feelings for Yuki? If only I could have told him how I feel before he left with Yuki.' Zero thought in his head sadly and looked away from the pureblood.

"I have good news Zero," Yuki said as she stepped forwards. Zero looked up at the girl with curious eyes. "I'm Pregnant," Yuki said with a beautiful smile.

Zero's eyes widened as his heart stopped beating. He should be happy that he'll be an uncle. But he wasn't. Pulling on a fake smile Zero walked over to Yuki and hugged her gently.

"Congratulations. You'll be great parents." Zero said referring to both Yuki and Kaname.

"Thank you," Yuki replied and kissed him on the cheek.

Zero backed away from the Yuki slowly. "Well, we best be off. The reunion is in two days." Yuki informed as she walked over to the door with Aido and Kaname.

"Sorry, we didn't stay for longer Kiryu," Aido stated almost in a snickering tone. Zero narrowed his lavender eyes and watched as the three left quietly.

'Whats his problem?' Zero wondered but shrugged it off as he returned back to his garden, as he walked he looked down the pink paper that was decorated in blue shapes.

Sighing Zero discarded it on the bench he was about to walk past. Should he even go? It's not like he misses the academy. But it had been twenty years since he has seen Cross.

Maybe he should go.
