.::Summery: Rima and Shiki's lives before they went to Cross Academy and joined the Night Class. How they met, How they were raised, why their so close and why they never say those three, powerful words.


She sat outside on the front porch, starring up at the sky. She wore comfy, black pants that were good for relaxing and a wool, long sleeved shirt what was a little to big, the ends of the sleeves reaching the middle of her small fingers. Beside her was an umbrella.

Her features were the same from when she was sixteen, only looking a bit more mature.

She had the same, yellow orange hair that she used to wear in pigtails all the time. It's grown out now, almost to her wait. The same, black ribbons holding her hair in lower pigtails that rested against her back.

Her mysterious eyes were the same. A strange shade of blue, never revealing what she was thinking. Only now the held a warmth that wasn't there before. It was the warmth that-

"Mama?"

The warmth that a mother could only have.

She turned to see five year old girl in a light nightgown come outside, a bright yellow blanket in her hand that had a pink bunny in the corner. Her red hair, that was a few shades lighter then her fathers, was in pigtails with dark blue ribbons.

"Rinri, you should go to bed, it'll be dawn soon," she said to her daughter.

"But I can't sleep," the little girl said. "Can I wait for daddy with you?"

"He might not be back till well after sunrise," Her mother said.

"That's why mommy has her umbrella," Rinri said. Her mother sighed and gestured her to come over. With a smile, the small girl sat in her mothers lap.

After a few minutes she asked, "Mama?"

"Hmm?"

"Why don't you and daddy say 'I love you'?"

"Why would you ask that?" Her mother asked, a bit caught off guard.

"Kain Hao's parents say it all the time. He gets embarrassed when they do. And Aidou Tsubasa and Yin's dad tells his wife it a lot. So why don't you and daddy? Don't you love each other?"

"Of course we do. I love your father more than anything, and I know his feels for me are the same."

"The why don't you tell him that?"

"Sometimes you don't need to tell the person you love that you love them," her mother said. "Sometimes, when a person loves someone so much, they can't put it into words. So their actions so how much they care for that person, because they can't put it into words."

"Really?"

"Yes really."

"But Oji-San says it's good to hear some say I love you. Even if they already know it."

"Well, there are doubts whether or not he's actually a vampire so I wouldn't listen to everything he says," he mother sighed. "Try to sleep. Your father will be upset if you don't go to bed on time."

Rinri pouted but still laid her head in her mother's lap.

Her mother took out her pigtails, stroking her head.

Shiki Rima looked up at the sky, where the stars were now starting to fade from sight. She could still remember that day. The day they met, and how they changed each others lives as they grew up…


That's the Prologue. This was gonna be a one-shot, with the next chapter as the story but the more I thought about it I wanted to do it as a long Fanfic! so R&R PLZ!
