A boy with silver hair, pale skin and amethyst eyes looked across the clearing and found a woman standing in front of the furnace.

"Mother?"The silver haired boy, Zero, whispered. His mother, Yume or as people knew her as The Hooded Woman looked up, from staring into the furnace, when she heard Zero's soft and weak voice in front of her.

Zero's voice was obviously to far away from her to hear but with her sensitive ears, she could hear him just fine. The Hooded Woman smiled when she saw Zero at the entrance of the clearing, far away from her to stop her. Zero's eyes were filled with tears at seeing his mother looking at him with a sad but determined smile on her face. Zero shook his head and started to run to towards his mother, hoping to stop her before it was too late, as she lifted her hands to her chest, digging her fingers into her chest and ripped out her heart, without even screaming in pain, and in one swift movement, she threw her heart into the furnace.

"NOOO!"Zero screamed and watched as his mother started to fall but was caught by Kaname who held her as he sat down on the ground, looking down at her sadly.

"Yume, why?"Kaname whispered softly and sadly."Why would you take my place, Yume? You had so much to live for! What about Zero!? Your own son! You're leaving him alone in this cruel world, Yume..."Yume shook her head gently as she smiled brightly up at the brunette.

"Because Zero needs you, Kaname... I'm not leaving at all... I'll always be with him and you..."The silver haired boy, Zero came to a stop in front of his mother and Kaname."He has you, Kaname... promise me... promise you'll look after him... please...?"Kaname could only nod as Zero broke down into tears.

"No! Mama! Please, don't leave me..."Zero cried as Yume's body started to crack.

"Forgive me, my son, my little Zero... But this is the only way... for it seems the only thing that can kill us, is ourselves..."Yume rasped as her body started to shatter into a million shards of glass.

Kaname watched as the shards went with the wind before looking at Zero then at the new weapons and his eyes narrowed. Getting up, Kaname reached for Zero, picked him up and held him on his hip, hushing him as he started to walk away before the Hunters got there.


1000 Years Later

White, pure white. It fell from the sky but a five year old, silver haired boy could only stare helplessly at the the woman in front of him. His amethyst eyes held tears in them as a woman with long silver hair held onto him while his twin stood next to her.

"So beautiful."The woman whispered and let the boy in her arms drop to the ground.

He turned to look up at her but froze in fear as he saw fangs appear.'Monster... a monster in human form...'He thought.

The amethyst eyed boy screamed in agony and fear as the woman's fangs buried themselves into his twin's neck. Darkness started to crawl at his vision as the woman let go of his twin while he fell face first into the ground. He managed to turn his head to watch them leave.

"Ichi...Ichiru..."He choked out before they disappeared.

Sitting up in the snow, the boy was suddenly dimly aware of a new presence. Turning around, the boy's eyes widened in fear as he saw another monster. The new monster launched at him but before the monster could attack him, it screamed as a hand had pierced through it's chest. A boy only a few years older then him had his hand through the monster's chest."You're a disgrace to all Vampires."Pure white was splashed with red. The older boy pulled his hand out as the monster turned to dust. The silver haired boy could only watch as the older boy licked the blood off, his eyes like the woman who had taken his brother.

'He's a monster too...'The younger boy thought as the older boy walked over to him. He felt arms pick him up, and warmth filled his body. He was no longer able to keep his eyes open, so he let blissful sleep take it's hold.


When he awoke, they were in front of a house. His savior knocked on the door and it wasn't long before a man opened said door."Ah Kaname, come in!"The man said in a cheerful voice causing the silver haired boy to wince and bury himself further in the warmth his savior emitted. The man quieted down when he caught sight of the silver haired boy in Kaname's arms and gasped."Is that...?"

Kaname nodded before the man let them before heading upstairs while Kaname sat down on the couch with the child in his arms, threading his hand through his silver hair."Everything is going to be alright, Zero."Kaname whispered and held him to his chest.

Later on, Zero fell asleep in Kaname's arms while Kaname and Kaien talked."Did you want to save Zero?"Kaien asked with a raised eyebrow.

"I...At the time, no, I didn't want to save him but then he screamed and I..."Kaname trailed off in a whispered.

Kaien gave Kaname a sad smile."You became stuck in the past..."Kaien was the only one, other then Juri and Haruka, who knew the truth about who Kaname really was.

Kaname sighed and got up, placing Zero on the couch."I'll be back to check up on him."Kaien only nodded.
