Hey, this idea just came to me right now! Anyways, um, I'm sorry if I haven't been updating in my story Change of Heart, but right now, I just have no idea how to put Juri into the works. So, here's a short story, maybe novel, that won't be finished until summer…. Change of Heart will continue next month…And pray for Japan… :(

I don't own Vampire Knight.(And neither do I own Infinite Stratos…..you'll see, if you know it.)

Illegitimate Son

Kaname peered over Yuuki's body, looking at the sleeping baby in her arms, she was smiling but a mess as the birth of her boy left her tired. Kaname in the other hand was not smiling, however, he couldn't help but feel the urge to protect the baby, as soon as he was born. So unfortunate that the baby was not his, however, it was still Yuuki's child and he vowed to himself that no matter what, he would protect both of them, and to not end up like Rido.

The baby boy stirred in his mother's arms, as his lavender eyes opened to the new world, he drank in the sight of his mother cooing, then unknowingly, he turned to his "father", the baby reached out to him, and Yuuki just giggled.

"Kaname, I think he wants you to carry him." Kaname just smiled and nodded his head, carefully taking the baby out of his mother's arms.

"What should we name him?" Kaname asked, trying to lull the baby back to sleep.

"I haven't thought about it, there is a name I wanted to use, but….I don't know." Yuuki explained, now comically trying to think of other names, Kaname just chuckled.

"How about…Ichika?" He suggested.

"Ichika, that sounds perfect." Yuuki gently replied, now taking the baby back into her arms. Although it was little, the baby's brown hair could be seen from outside the cap that was placed on his tiny head and his lavender eyes were turning crimson as the thirst for blood has shown…..much similarly like his father, however, this was one was much more controlled.

"Seems like he's hungry, guess it's time to feed." Yuuki sighed, about to sink her fangs into her wrist, until Kaname stopped her, he already had a bloodied wrist ready, she looked back in gratitude.

The baby latched on, almost like a human baby would latch on to its mother, and suck until the baby boy was content. The Kuran ancestor smiled, even if he's not mine, I'll treat him like I would my own child, and speaking of child, it seems Yuuki has another one along, and this time, it's my child. With that thought he smiled, and started to tease Yuuki, who was now looking the opposite way with a blush on her face.

"Yuuki, is there something you want to tell me?" He asked, teasingly.

"Well…you see, um, it seems that we're going to have a child!" She exclaimed so suddenly, now trying to cover her face, but that shout seemed to have waken Ichika Kuran up.

"Oh, he just got back to sleep!" Yuuki was now nervously trying to calm the baby down, but Kaname just looked at him and the baby fell back asleep. "You know, I really don't like it when you use your powers for that."

"I'm sorry, but it seemed that you were uncomfortable. Although, it makes me happy to know that we're expecting a child." Kaname said, leaning down to hug Yuuki, and they were both looking at Ichika who was now going back to a dozy stage. He buried his face in Yuuki's hair, taking in her scent, which drove him mad, but only just to the point where he has control.

"Yuuki, I want to know just one thing…Does he know?"

Yuuki stiffened at the question, but didn't answer. "I never told him, I thought it would be best if he doesn't know."

"Yes, but, eventually, sometime in the future, he will know, I can guarantee you that." Yuuki looked down at her son.

"I know that, but the problem is not about him knowing, it's about his reaction to a Vampire son, you know how he is…."

"I understand Yuuki, but I promise you, that no matter what, I will protect you and Ichika." Kaname promised, as hugged Yuuki and the baby tightly. Tears were falling down her face, but she leaned against her fiancée's touch. "Thank you, Kaname…..thank you."

"Although, I still think 17 was a bit young to have a child, and I meant 17 human years, it would've been fine had it been a century later and you still look 17." Kaname said, killing the good mood earlier, and was now smiling, with Yuuki forming a dark aura. "Ah, I don't think I should've said that."

And the Kuran couple were arguing for the rest of the night, with Ichika sleeping soundly through it all.

Zero shot another one bullet, and this time it went straight through the Level E's head, he sighed and put the gun back inside his trench coat. He sensed the birth of her child long time again, he knew that she was with child. It made him mad to think of that, that child, knowing that it was all Kuran's child, part of him wished that it was his child, but that just drove him even crazier, thinking it was an absurd idea to have a child with her. The last time he saw her was nine months ago, during the start of the new year, it led up to an intimate time spent together, one that led him to regret, confusion, and turmoil.

Without thinking, he punched the decaying wall next to him, luckily the building didn't collapse, and his wound quickly closed up. Ever since that day, he swore to never associate himself with the Kurans ever again, not even his thirst to kill would go near them, any other vampires are fine, just not them.

"Headmaster, the rest is yours." Zero said tiredly, pointing at the humans that were passed out from the trauma, they were a couple…..which didn't help his aggravation. "Their memories have already been erased, but it seemed that they suffered blood loss, as they were a little dizzy running away. The vampire's finished along with his friend. That's all for the night."

"Good, now about the Kurans, don't give me that look." Zero was glaring icily at the Association President, but said nothing. "As you've heard, Yuuki already gave birth to a new child, so everyone is to be on alert for the next few decades or so. Although it was disapproving that she had a child so young, I can't help but feel so old! I can't believe I'm a grandfather already, oh, I can't wait to see my grandson or granddaughter."

Zero sighed, putting his hand in his face, shaking his head. "How do you know if they'll let you see them?"

"It's easy, I'm the first on the list to go check up on them, after all, I am the President! So for the next decade, I'll be helping my daughter and future son-in-law raise their child." Kaien jumped around in his office, with flowers surrounding him and the room, Zero was suffocating. "I'm a grandfather! Whoopee!" Kaien continued jumping and dancing around at the idea, occasionally stopping, telling himself that Yuuki was still too young.

"Hey, I'm going, I'm also taking the next night off, so don't expect me to do anything else." Zero walked out of the office, going the long path to the town in his apartment. He refused to sleep in the Boys Dorms, or his room…..he hadn't stepped in it since that time; he blushed a little thinking about it, but just kept on moving. Two other Day Class students were wondering around the night, but they were the current guardians, and they know about the Night Class. The girl, Sayori Wakaba, was one of them, and the best friend of Yuuki, walked up to Zero.

"I heard about some news…that she gave birth, is that true?" Zero sighed, and looked up.

"That's classified information, if you want to keep your memories, you better stop with the questions. But of course, you've got that warning several times already I'm losing count."

"She's my friend, of course I'd be worried. I wonder how they are, but I guess you're right." Yori sighed, walking back into the woods, Zero stared at as she walked back, instead of Yori, he saw Yuuki, just before she was awakened. His throat burned up, but he held it back and pulled out a box of tablets, scarfing them down. It dulled the ache, but it was still there, he walked past the passing cars down the streets. Stores were closing already, parents were ushering their children back into their houses, teenagers were either rebelling, and some people were out taking a stroll, each with their own personal stories, just like him.

He walked in his room, and plopped down, face planted into the mattress. He turned his head sideways for a little air, and stared at the wall that he blasted about two years ago, of course, now it was fixed. He closed his eyes, not wanting to sleep, but at the same time, with the same urge to see her face in his dreams again.

After a while, he drifted off into a dreamless sleep, something he's been waiting for, for quite some time.

Meanwhile, Kaname was just finished changing the diaper and putting the baby to sleep. He looked closely at the baby, studying him, the baby had Kuran features, which was good, in order to mask his true heritage, however, the eyes and the scent might affect Ichika's status as a pureblood, even though he was really just a Level B. He would have to treat Ichika like a Kuran, of course, he would be the step-father he was meant to be, acting kind, but treating him like he has the blood of any Kurans. Of course, the Senate's been dealt with, although, there's the problem with Senri, who was their blood relative of course, blood relatives in pureblood families can be felt, even if the person is not a pureblood, however if the father was not related to any of the family except for his child, he wouldn't have felt it, just the birth. Kaname sighed, he need to speak with Senri and tell him that this was a very confidential matter.

Yuuki was in their bedroom, lying down, she was more comfortable now than she was earlier, the pain has fully gone away, one of the many beneficial quirks of a vampire. She was tossing and turning, not being able to bring herself to sleep. She looked up at the portrait of the previous generation of the Kuran Family, hanging just above the fireplace in their room. They were all teenagers, the girl who resembled Yuuki was in the middle sitting down, the two boys were on opposite sides, all were wearing old fashioned style clothing but they were smiling, their eyes were painted with a warm feeling.

However, looking at the taller boy, it didn't make her feel any good at all, Rido Kuran. The picture dated back to about 2,000 years ago, but it was almost like it was just painted yesterday, they were probably in the best terms back then. Her parents in the picture were the only one who gave comfort, but she wondered if her children would end up like that. With best hope, she doesn't want that to happen, especially with her oldest child.

"I'm sorry, Ichika." Yuuki was silently crying, sending an apology to her child. "You won't know your real father for a while, and I know you'll be mad at me, but please, I'm sorry."

Kaname continued staring at the baby, but finally left the room, muttering only a name.

"Ichika Kiryuu."
