A/n:

This is my first FF so please be tolerant with spelling and punctuation.

This is AU, major AU as Zero and Ichiru are not twins but triplets with a younger sister Misora and due to this none of them are weak so no reason for Ichiru to go with Shizuka.

Their parents were still killed by a pureblood and they were all bitten.

Everyone assumes this was Shizuka Hio who is still in hiding and neither she nor Maria has made an appearance at the school yet.

Rido Kuran has appeared and been defeated by Zero, Ichiru and Misora, Yuuki has been awakened, Takuma Ichijo has killed his grandfather but has not been captured by Sara Shirabuki .

Time frame is six months after Rido's defeat and the school has almost been rebuilt.

Chapter One:

The night sky was heavy with clouds, but what little moonlight did manage to break through glittered off the rooftops and towers and peeked through the empty windows of Cross Academy. It sparkled off the large lake and coloured the trees silver, while gentle gusts of air caused the tarpaulin on the remaining pieces of scaffolding to billow like sails on a ship.

It had been six months since the epic battle which had pretty much destroyed the school, six months since both the day and night classes had been sent home, well the day class at any rate. The night class had simply left vanished into the thick woods surrounding the academy, after all Kaname Kuran's little scheme, which he had put into motion the night of his parents death, was finally over and done with.

Yuuki was now a Pureblood again, returned to her rightful place at her brother's side and living the high life she had always wanted.

The rebuilding of the school and the Headmaster's dream was almost done; a new dorm had been built the Star Dorm and was situated between the rebuilt Day and Night Class dormitories. A little bit of added protection, funded by 'concerned' members of the Hunter Association and Vampire Council rivalling the Moon Dorm for luxury and elegance. It would be filled with handpicked hunter children, those whose memories hadn't or rather couldn't be wiped and the remaining school prefects.

Standing in front of the building with the last of their possessions Zero, Ichiru and Misora Kiryu and Sayori Wakaba sighed heavily.

The building too closely resembled the Moon Dorm for comfort.

"Remind me again why we agreed to move closer to the leeches?" Muttered Zero under his breath. Dropping his duffel bag to the floor Ichiru started ticking off on his fingers. "Bigger rooms, better furniture, private dining room with four star food, entertainment room… I could go on"

"And you will, but you missed the biggest benefit Ru." Chuckled Sora. Huffing in mock insult Ichiru picked up his bag and tossed it over his shoulder.

With a blossoming grin they looked at each other saying in unison "No Headmaster and no Headmaster's cooking."

Shaking her head at the triplets Yori walked towards the unlocked door and nudged it open with her hip. "Come on, this is the last of it and I for one am in need of what little sleep I can store up before everything goes to hell again."

Still muttering to each other Zero and Ichiru walked forward while their sister looked over her shoulder at the quiet academy grounds, a light fog was coiling round the trunks and branches of the trees giving their surrounding an almost unworldly feel. With another quieter sigh she rubbed the tattoo on her neck; she had a feeling this was going to be the last little bit of peace she and her small broken family would get for quite a while.

She dreaded the return of the 'demons in human form', as Ichiru liked to call the rabid female and handful of male fans, more than the return of the night class themselves. The Headmaster had been squealing since yesterday after receiving a phone call from 'his darling daughter' confirming that they would be returning, why was anyone's guess as it had been made pretty clear as to what Yuuki now thought of them, not that they really cared.

Smirking to herself Sora remembered the look of shock on the elder Kuran's face when he was first introduced to the triplets, he had turned up at the Headmaster's for one of his frequent visits to his 'Precious Person', Sora mentally shuddered at the syrupy sweet way he always referred to Yuuki.

Well the shock was for Zero and Ichiru, as they later found out he hadn't expected both of them to be alive. However, that shock had turned to pure fury when he was introduced to her, after all he had planned for one of the remaining Kiryu 'twins' to be Yuuki's white knight, for them to put her above their own life which they couldn't or rather wouldn't do if they had a sister of their own.

Needless to say her relationship with Kuran was worse than Zero and Ichiru's combined, well until they figured out his plan and who Yuuki really was.

After they discovered the full extent of his involvement in the murder of their parents, it had taken both her and Yori to stop her brothers from rushing over to the Moon Dorm and painfully ridding the earth of the Pureblood, not that any of them would have missed him.

Ichiru suddenly poked his head out of the open door. "Sora come on, you're letting all the cold air in, Ro's making a midnight snack, hot chocolate with triple chocolate cookies."

Sora grinned at the thought of Zero's cooking, he was a pure genius in the kitchen and was the only reason why none of them had died from 'mystery meat surprise', one of the many meals thought up by their foster parent. Hitching the bag more securely over her shoulder Sora walked up the steps and closed the door behind her.

Slowly the gates, which were so similar to those of the Moon Dorm started to close.

However if Sora had waited a little longer she would have caught sight of three figures stepping out from the trees cloaked in mist and moonlight.

"Found you, our beloved niece and nephews."
