Chapter One- How it all began for the Lavender and the Rain

Hi this is Random and this is my first fanfiction ever! I hope you enjoy my fanfiction and I do not Vampire Knight, Matsuri

Hino does. I only own Reina and perhaps a few ocs.

Zero: Wait, we are owned by someone else?

Random: Uhh...

Reina: I'M OWNED BY YOU?!

Random: Uhhhhhhh...

Kaname: I am Kaname Kuran, I am not owned by anyone

Random: o-O

Zero pulls out Bloody Rose, Reina takes out her sword and Kaname is powering up his vampire skills...

Random- Now hang on guys, uh, let's talk about this...

Random runs away while VK characters chase after her.

I was sitting with the two boys who I dearly loved, Zero and Ichiru. We were eating tomato soup and since Ichiru and I both know Zero absolutely loves it (though he'll never admit it), we like to give him ours. Because seriously, I hate tomato soup. It's disgusting and I'll never know why Zero likes it but as his sister I don't judge, cough maybe cough. This wasn't always the case though. I wasn't Ichiru and Zero's sister by birth. I was adopted.

It all began 5 years ago, when Zero and Ichiru were only eight. I was running, running away from something that I absolutely loathed, vampires. The most disgusting, vile and cruel beings on the planet. They killed my family at the orphanage. I may not have been related to any of the kids at the orphanage but we all stuck together, like a family.

But then the vampires swooped in like ravens preying on innocent mice, and killed them. George, the boy who would make all of us laugh at his stupid jokes, Jane, who cooked amazing food, Yui, only three years old but tried to help out, Ami, the girl who was in charge of looking after all the young children and the boy who was always with me, who always reassured everyone, Hiro. All dead. All because I wasn't strong enough to save them and because of the grotesque vampires. I was suppose to save them, my job was to protect everyone as the oldest girl in the group. But I didn't.

Instead, I watched in horror as my family was shredded to pieces. Only when I had over came the initial shock did I try to fight back. It was too late though. All dead, bloody like a butcher had tried to hack all of them to pieces. Hiro still had his face intact but it was left in a look of absolute terror and fear. I ran after that. I didn't want to remember the face that looked so broken and frightened. So I ran, with injuries of scratches and claw marks. Blood dripped from my wounds, as I ran from the hungry vampires. Only then did the Kiriyus killed them. I was taken back to their home and that was where I met Zero and Ichiru for the first time.

" Reina, Reina, REINA!"

I jumped in my seat and looked at Zero.

" What?" I grumbled, annoyed that he scared me. He looked at me with concern and brushed something from my cheek.

" You're crying," he answered, showing me the tear he brushed off. I held a hand up to my face and I felt the wet marks on my cheek. I tried to wipe them away and smile. I wasn't suppose to be weak, I was suppose to help my family right now. My duty now was to protect Zero and Ichiru.

" Sorry, just remembering my memories of that night," I whispered. The dinner table was silent. They all, remembered the night I came. Zero's hand clenched as a fist.

" I hate them, I hate how they injured Reina," he said, venom in his words.

" Zero," I mumbled. I was touched, to say the least. I placed my bowl in the sink and smirked at Zero.

" Come on Zero, Ichiru, we got to go to the market don't we?" Reina said, " and geez Zero, you're so slow eating some times."

Zero stared at me and then chuckled. We were competitive. It was always like this when we were younger. Who could train the hardest, who could eat the quickest, who could run the fastest. Zero was a quiet kid, but if you got to know him, he was competitive and if I might say, had quite a bit of attitude.

"Let's go then," Zero said, standing up and placing his bowl and Ichiru's in the sink. As Zero got his and Ichiru's matching jackets, I held my hands in my hoodie pocket. I never was cold, for some reason. I always wore a white dress, black leggings and dark blue sneakers. And over the dress I would wear an over sized, blue hoodie that reached my mid thighs. Heh, I was so weird sometimes, but damn was I proud of it! Instead of a coat, I took my favourite black scarf that Zero's mum knitted.

" Let's go!" I exclaimed, fist pumping the air. Zero just smirked while Ichiru smiled gently. We walked together, my arm around Zero's shoulders who was on my left and I my hand ruffling Ichiru's hair who was on my right. That's right world, try to take my family, try to take my friends, this time, I'll stop you, and no one will get in my way.

Zero's POV.

Reina was so weird sometimes. She was spinning around in circles, laughing like a weirdo. I tried my hardest to not laugh, trying to cover it up with a cough. Ichiru was chuckling at Reina's antics. She was pretty, not that I'd tell her that though. Her long hair was black, with a hint of blue. Her eyes though, they were a glistening crystal blue. They drew you in until you realise how much of a creep you were staring. At first glance, she was this some weird fashioned girl who was laughing. Then you get to know her and she's fierce, competitive, determined and enjoyable.

Some guy was trying to approach us one time and she punched him. Yeah, Reina just punched the obvious creep and started yelling a range of colourful language. It took all of my strength to stop her hurting and chasing after him. Only Ichiru's soothing words calmed her down.

" It was his fault not mine."

That was what she said to mum when mum was reprimanding her. She was banned from chocolate for a whole month.

" Come on Zero, you're such a slow coach!" Reina exclaimed.

" I'm sorry, who beat you last week at that race?" I asked. She flushed angrily and huffed off.

" That was just a fluke," she muttered. Ichiru laughed softly and I rolled my eyes at Reina. We went to the market and bought a few things that mum needed.

" Ne Zero?" asked Ichiru. I turned around and smiled softly.

" Yes?"

" Do you think all vampires are bad?"

Reina and I froze at the question. We looked at each other nervously before turning back to Ichiru.

" Yes, I do think all vampires are bad."

Ichiru flinched and nodded, staring at his feet. Reina immediately swung her arm around Ichiru grinning.

" Don't worry Ichi, Zero's just on his time of month," she reassured. I looked at Reina with a stare that if looks could kill, Reina would've been dead. It's good that she comforted Ichiru but seriously….. SHE DIDN'T HAVE TO SAY THAT!

" Whoops," she said, covering her mouth in a mocking manner, " I forgot that was your secret Zero."

" Why you little…"

She stuck her tongue out and skipped off, humming an innocent tune. I sighed, at least she broke the tension.

Reina's POV.

We were moving. AGAIN.

" Are we moving again?" Ichiru asked. Zero's mum was packing our things in boxes, wrapping them in tape.

" Yes, we don't want vampires to know where we live," she answered. Ichiru had a cold, stony look, which made Zero and I look at him in worry. He had been acting weirdly, going out for periods of time, and faking his smiles.

" Ichiru?" Zero asked in concern.

" Not all vampires are evil," Ichiru proclaimed, " you're too cautious."

Zero and I looked in shock at him. He never said that, not to my face. He knew I had a bad past with them, so he would usually never say anything about them. I felt betrayed, that he didn't think what I thought. I felt like I was stabbed, with a dagger of venom. Zero and I hastily chased Ichiru as he was walking out of the door. But he was putting his coat on as Zero and I managed to catch up to him.

" Ichiru, you've been acting strangely lately," Zero said.

" Yeah, you don't even have time to play with me," I added, trying to see behind Ichiru's eyes. He looked away, a grim expression on his face.

" I just need fresh air, don't follow me," he said, ignoring our pleas.

" Ichiru!" Zero and I exclaimed, grabbing Ichiru's hand.

" Zero, Reina, just what am I ?"

I felt something that I never thought I would feel towards Ichiru. Fear. The bitter look in his eyes scared me, it scared me so much that I stepped back. As he exited the door, I tried one last time to catch him, hoping there was a chance for me to stop him. But he slipped right out of my hands.

As Zero and I quietly and miserably walked back to Zero's mum, we sensed something. Something sinister, something evil. A vampire. Not just a vampire, a vampire baring its fangs. We looked at each other in fear and worry, both dreading what might've happened.

" Ichiru!"

We rushed quickly outside, ignoring the calls from Zero's mother. Oh god, please, oh god. Ichiru can't be…. No, he's stronger than that, right?

As Zero and I opened the door, we saw the vampire we saw near the cherry blossom tree. She was crying, and her beautiful silver swaying in the night. Her kimono drifting with the snow. She was stunning, but I was not fooled.

" You're…" Zero gasped, remembering our encounter with her.

" You both have good senses, you both knew I was here, even before you're parents knew," she mused. I stiffened, scared about what might happen.

" Oh look here, it's Reina Izumo, daughter of the famous Izumo hunter clan," she said, smiling cruelly. I narrowed my eyes at the title.

" That's a lie, I was abandoned. Those people are not my parents," I countered, " and besides, Zero and Ichiru are my family now."

" Acting all tough now are we?" she laughed. I growled, angry that she was mocking family. She looked at Zero, her face dropping the cruel smile.

" The twin children of the hunters, it all comes down to you're sinful blood," she hissed. Zero looked at her in confusion, stepping back.

In a second her hand was around Zero's waist and on his neck.

" I shall curse your fate."

"ZERO!" I yelled, reaching out to rip the vile hand of the vampire off Zero. In a flash, she jumped out of reach and held Zero in the snow.

" Give him back!" I shouted, angrily. I felt my emotions coursing through my veins as I growled like an animal at the vampire.

" Shizuka Hio?"

Zero's parents were behind me, holding their weapons. Shizuka Hio? A pureblood? Why would someone so powerful come to our doorstep? I didn't care about those facts right now though. All I could see was Zero and possible Ichiru in danger. Oh no you don't world, I won't let you rule my life so easily. I ran to Shizuka Hio, yelling a war cry. But as I tried to punch Shizuka Hio, she bit down on Zero's neck and all I saw was black.

Zero's POV.

As I saw blood and Reina, I screamed in agony when I felt something pierce my skin. Blood, blood everywhere. I watched in absolute horror as I saw Shizuka Hio murder my parents, ripping them to shreds. Is this what Reina saw when she was only seven? Blood, the absolute terror of seeing your loved ones die, seeing your childhood best friend being punched while trying to save you. As I slumped to the floor, I saw Ichiru stare at the scene infront of him.

" Ichiru, run!" I yelled, wincing at the pain in my neck. I clenched Hio's dress and glared at her.

" If you do anything to Ichiru, I will kill you," I hissed venomously.

" Don't worry, I won't," she mused. She held Reina in her arms and my glare intensified. She wouldn't dare do anything to Reina, I'd kill her, I'd kill her.

" Poor Reina doesn't know," she said, caressing Reina's cheek, " that she has the choice to save the world or destroy it."

I gaped at her, trying to imagine Reina destroy the world. Reina, the girl with an over hyper personality, a weird taste for things, the girl who gave light to my world.

" Let's go Ichiru," Shizuka said, walking out of the door. As I looked at the backs of the two, I lost conscious.

That was the beginning of the Lavender and the Rain
