Zero Kiryu never thought that he would ever find love again after Yuki left with Kaname. And to say he was shocked when he met a girl who loved him for him. This girl was not by any means human. No, she wasn't a Vampire but a Vampire Witch. A beautiful Vampire Witch with a loving heart that could forgive anyone and anything. Her name was Grace Marcius, the youngest daughter of the Wizard King.

Her hair was long and as black as night, her eyes were emerald green, a type of green that shines within moonlight, and she has egyptian skin which is rather odd since her family comes from England but Zero was told that her mother came from Egypt. Zero could clearly remember how they met.

They had met at a party in England that was being held by the Marcius family and Zero had been asked by the President to make sure that nothing happened at the party and to guard the Marcius Family. Like always, Zero would be found leaning against a wall in the ballroom, watching for anything suspicious with narrowed amethyst eyes.

That's when it happened. Zero's eyes met emerald green eyes filled with a type of kindness that Zero knew that Yuki could never possess. Realising that he was staring at the youngest Marcius child, Zero looked away in embarrassment while the girl quickly went back to talking with her sister before excusing herself from the party.

Zero watched her go into the gardens and his eyes narrowed when he noticed a shadow following her. Pushing himself off the wall, Zero made his way towards the young princess without looking making anyone think that something was up. When he got outside, he was boiling with rage at what he was seeing.

A Noble Vampire was trying to have his way with the girl and was currently trying to get her out of her kimono while kissing her as she struggled. A snarl left his lips and all he saw was red before he attacked. When Zero came back to himself, he was being hugged by the young princess and he was hugging her back protectively. When she looked up at him, Zero smiled at her and she smiled back.

"Thank you..."

"Zero Kiryu."

"Kiryu-san, thank you."The princess said."My name is Grace."

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Grace-hime. But we should get back to the party, it's much safer inside."

"I'll have to agree with you on that."Grace said and let Zero led her back to her family.

After that night, Zero realised that he was in love with Grace and had asked Grace's father if he could court her. Her father had agreed and Zero truly felt happy for the first time in two years since Yuki had left because Grace had said agreed to let Zero court her after her father asked her if she would let Zero court.

The two found out many things about one another like the fact that Grace was the only Pureblood Vampire Witch in her family while the rest of her siblings were just very powerful Wizards and Witches but Grace had sealed away her Vampire side because she wanted to be as normal as she could be. Zero told Grace about how he grew up with his family until he was thirteen and his parents were killed by a Pureblood and his brother went with her but he didn't know that until they met fours later at the Academy.

Zero told Grace everything about his days at the Academy and by the end of it, Grace was sad and angry but she was happy that at least he was treated with love by his adoptive sister and father. In return, Grace told him her life story. When they returned to Marcius Castle, Grace asked her mother if there was a way to turn a Level D into a Pureblood. Grace's mother, Cecilia, who knew just the spell for Zero.

The spell didn't even affect Zero's Hunter blood. After five months, Zero and Grace created a Blood Bond and a Binding Ritual or as Alexandra, Grace's father, called it 'The Blessing'. After a year of being together, Zero decided that it was time to ask Grace for her hand in marriage and she said yes.

They got married in the summer, right in front of the Tree of Beginning, at Marcius Castle and little did either of them know that Grace had become pregnant a month before. When they found out, they told Grace's parents at once. Alexandra and Cecilia were so happy that they were going to be grandparents and had started planning everything right away.

Cecilia and Grace's sister, Anna, helped Grace along with her pregnancy when Zero was out Hunting Level E's. Grace's brothers, Luke and Riku got the nursery room set up with Grace telling them what she and Zero wanted and what they didn't want. When Grace was ready to give birth, they gave birth to a little boy at home. Grace was crying tears of joy as she held her baby boy and Zero had the proudest smile on his face as he hugged Grace, looking down at their child with happiness. They named him Hari Yusei Marcius-Kiryu.

They had him for about three and a half months until one night, Hari was stolen from his room. Grace had been the first to wake up due to her motherly instincts going wild, saying that something wasn't right and she needed to check on her son and she did. She had rushed to her son's room only to freeze when she didn't feel her son's Magical aura, his heart beat or his presence at all in the room.

She slammed the door opened and flicked on the lights only to scream bloody murder as she sank to her knees. Zero had appeared right behind her and stared at their son's empty crib in anger and sorrow before a roar of rage filled the Manor of their home. The beastly roar had successfully awoken the servants and had sent them running to where their Master and Mistress was.

Zero sent out his guards, except a few to keep the Manor safe, to find his son before taking Grace back to their room where he stayed with her until she fell asleep before writing a letter to Alexandra and Cecilia, telling them what has happened.

All they had left of their son was his favourite animal, a Grim Wolf, and pictures of him. Zero did not stop searching for his son, even when he went to the Association for Missions, he did not stop. Grace meanwhile, had started using her personal spell book to look for her son but it was like he had just dropped off of the face of the Earth, never to be seen again.

It wasn't until Hari's fifth birthday did they realise that their son would never return to them. After realising that, Grace asked if she could join him at the Association and become a Huntress. The new Association President agreed and Grace joined Zero on all of his Missions and they were a pretty good team.
