A/N: Thank you again for all those who read and reviewed my first story again I don't own Vampire Knight and I'm not the best writer, never claim to be.

Chapter One

Zero was now a junior in high school. He and Kaname were almost inseparable and they had so much trust in each other some found it very intense. Kaname was very protective of Zero and because of his past Zero welcomed the protection. Zero could often be found wrapped within Kaname's arms. Zero found comfort with Kaname because now that he was older the scars of his past were now being triggered. Zero's most common triggers were known to the night class and they were…

Number one, when ever Zero slept he had nightmares about Shizuka Hio or Yuki so Kaname had to be there when he woke to comfort him. Number two, surprises, mostly because of Yuki but also because of Zero's training as a hunter. Zero hated when someone walked up behind him unexpectedly or when he was suddenly surrounded by a big group. Number three was being left alone; because of his time locked in the little room after Shizuka Hio's attack. Zero was afraid to be alone because he feared no one would come back and that he would be forgotten and die with no one to care or miss him.

Zero was not weak by any means dispute his triggers. Zero had been a hunter at one time so he did know how to fight and defend himself. Kaname and Hanabusa Aido trained him to know how to hold his own in a battle. Zero was also very smart and quick on his feet; he could come up with a good idea or sarcastic comment in no time flat.

Kaname had now been mated with Zero for nine years. In those nine years Kaname had come to love Zero more and more every day. He knew Zero so well it was almost as if Kaname could read his mind. All Zero would have to do was say his name or look at him and Kaname would know what he wanted or what to do to make Zero happy.

Yuki had stayed in America after finishing her schooling and now worked as a fashion designer; because of her history with the family she rarely visited but kept in constant contact. Kaname had just gotten word that Yuki was coming for a visit for her father's birthday. Anything Yuki related seemed to be a trigger for Zero so now Kaname had to go tell Zero of her visit. *This should be fun* Kaname thought to himself as he walked up to his and Zero's room.
