(This is the story of Mizuki, the daughter of Yuki Cross and Zero Kiryu if they had been together in the end.)
1. MISS YOU
It all began with who my father was.
I had no idea who he really was when I was a child for he was the brooding man with silver eyes that smiled when once around me. He trained me to be who he once was, my mother even helped with that part because they were the best and the best parents a child could ask for.
My mother was a very smart a shrewd woman who had hid her identity well alongside my father. I had no clue as to who they truly were, even if my mother had been around plenty as a child, making mud-pies with me and picking flowers in the garden outside or my father, who had trained me to be stronger and more determined in life. But I loved them despite whatever or whoever they were, they were my parents, and they were always there.
When I had matured in age, my father and mother's old friend Toga Yagari, a retired vampire hunter that used to train my father as a small boy, arrived at our peaceful home and immediately started training me with more advanced techniques than before and became my master quickly. I like the old, uncouth, blunt man that was resistant but trained someone as stubborn as me anyway. About one year later and I found out…they said to me;
"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry, Mizuki." my mother snatched me up in her arms and squeezed me until my blunt father pulled her away then said while my mother wiped away her beautiful tears,
"Mizuki, you're old enough to stay behind on your own now, Yagari will be here with you until you became an official adult but for now we have to leave you. Grandfather Kaien Cross will be here to also protect you and enroll you in his academy." he could barely look me in the eye, his eyes full of hurt.
I began to cry, out of confusion and my mother tried to comfort me along with her own tears and open arms but my father prevented it. "But I don't understand," I sobbed. "don't you want me?"
My father had to look at me now, I could see how hard it was for him to say all this and repress tears at the same time. "Mizuki…"
I swiped away his gentle but cold hand then used the same hand to wipe my dripping eyes. "Why are you doing this? I thought you loved me."
My mother Yuki bypassed Zero who no longer bothered to restrain her and kneeled beside me. "Mizuki…of course we love you, we're your parents and we would never let anything happen to you and that is why we must leave--"
"But," I knew I was making it harder for them but I was just a child, and what they were doing hurt me too. "You can't leave me, no, please don't--" I fell into my mother's arms, sobbing loudly while my father Zero could only look away.
The next day was the day that they revealed to me why they had to leave me at the age of 10 alone, with master Yagari and my grandfather the headmaster. They told me…that they were vampires.
I remember a man that used to come around when I was a young child who seemed to have a threatening edge to his glare and gestures but they were also warm and harmless. I remember him well, he was my uncle; Kaname Kuran. He was very beautiful and had the most charming voice and he used to play with me as a child, no matter how possessive I became. I loved him very much, but…I haven't seen him in seven years. I miss him so much but no one else seemed to care about his absence but me. Why? I would ask my parents and their same typical answer would be; "he'll be back. Just watch." but nothing came, not a letter or word so I became angry and flourished with anguish without his return.
I hoped and prayed that after my parents departure from me forever, Kaname would come back to me and take me away but it never happened, at least, not yet.
When my parents first left, the day of, I had thoughts racing through my mind. I knew that I was different in some way, I knew that I had a lust and yearning for something I could not touch, I had no idea what it was, until I figured what I might be. What was the most logical thing for me to think when I was 10 years old?; I thought I was a vampire too. Just like my parents. I knew that pictures of Kaname and my parents looked nearly the same from when they were in high school except my mother had long hair and they all looked more mature from age but nothing more, like they hadn't aged over the 18 years from when in freshman year. I knew it; the lust I was seeking was what I'm meant to consume; blood. It was all as plain as day to me but Yagari told me straight up and a bit ruthlessly,
"I don't want you ever being the vampire your instincts tell you to be. Do you understand me, Mizuki?"
Of course I nodded my head 'yes' and carried on.
After my parents left, they made an effort to send me pictures of themselves sometimes whenever they weren't being tracked which I was always grateful for. Zero always looked his usual reserved, scary self, the part of him that wasn't like that around me. It was like the side of him that used to smile had stayed behind with me. Next to my beautiful, blithe, mother Yuki, he seemed like a glum gray cloud next to the shining rays of the sun. I loved their chemistry together; they were my parents.
Today I am 15 and my journey is just about to begin at my first year at Cross academy…
