Chapter 1- Welcome back!

Kaname Kuran stood at the gates of Cross Academy thinking back to the last time he was at the academy. It had been almost 2 years ago that he left with Yuki, thinking he had finally achieved all of his goals. Yuki was a vampire, Rido was dead, the counsel destroyed, he was reinstalling the monarchy and Yuki was to be his queen. But it didn't turn out like that. Yuki and Kaname discovered they were not in love but that they simply wanted what they could not have. Upon finding this out, Yuki became determined to prove herself and left to go to America for college. That was a year ago and it shattered all of Kaname's plans for the future. Rather than reinstalling the monarchy without a queen, he decided to put it off until he found a suitable mate. Kaname smiled fondly remembering that conversation… Yuki was right; he should fall in love with the real person who was in front of him rather than seeing how that person will be beneficial in the future.

Taking a deep breath, he noticed that his inner circle was not all present which was very odd. He received a call from the chairman about 10 months ago asking for the nobles back so that they could look after the night class. Kaname was reluctant at first, since Yuki had left only months before, but agreed for the benefit of coexistence with the exception of Seiren who refused to leave the purebloods side. That had become his main focus after Yuki left and he reestablished a council that agreed with his view on the matter. Kaname stretched his scenes out to investigate who was on campus finding that all were present with the exception of Aido and Takuma.

That was odd and Kaname made a mental note to look into the reason for the two to be off campus, but what startled him the most was Zero. He knew the hunter was still here for future president training but was shocked by his aura. It usually had a very strong hunter aura and a suppressed vampire aura but what surprised him was not only had his hunter aura increased drastically, so had his vampire side. He emitted the aura of a high level noble plus he was in the moon dormitory. Odd, Zero never went to the moon dormitory unless it was a task from the chairman. It seems like there have been several changes since he left. Taking another deep breath, Kaname decided it was time to visit the chairman's office to get some answers. After all, he was moving back and did not like to be out of the loop.

Walking up to the chairman's office, Kaname paused before knocking. Nostalgia overwhelming his scenes a moment, he allowed himself a brief smile before slipping on his mask of indifference. Two quick knocks on the door followed by a squeal behind the door and the sound of papers falling occurred before the door was yanked open by the charismatic chairman.

"Kaname-san! You're baaaaaccccckkkkkkk!" The chairman, exuberant as ever, shouted as he tried to jump into the purebloods arms. Without blinking Kaname had the chairman suspended in mid-air before he could lay a finger on him.

"Chairman, you had not changed I see."

"Awwww, Kaname! It's been 1 year, 10 months and 13 days since you left with my precious Yuki and at least she visited before she left the country!" Big crocodile tears forming in the chairman's eyes as he was gently placed several feet away from the pureblood.

"Well Kaien, I suppose you will be pleased to hear that I will be coming back until further notice then."

"Oh? You'll be staying then?" Zero questions nonchalantly as a way to announce his arrival. Neither Kaname nor the chairman had noticed his arrival and glanced behind where Kaname was still standing in the doorway. Both the hunter and the pureblood were taking a visual inspection of each other in silence.

Zero had changed some in these 2 years; he was about an inch taller and had more defined muscle showing in his upper arms but he still had his shaggy silver hair, sharp jawline and piercing amethyst eyes. He was dressed in faded jeans and a fitted grey t-shirt. The odd thing to Kaname wasn't the outward changed to the hunter but rather his attitude. He was not scowling but rather had a calm, almost neutral face. His eyes held no anger or resentment, but rather had a glint of something that Kaname could not place.

Zero took in the purebloods appearance as well. The pureblood was almost exactly the same. He aged a little but that was to be expected. Vampires keep aging at an almost human rate until the age of 25 then age 1 year in appearance every 50 years. It's even slower for purebloods with their long, almost immortal lives. But Zero noticed something wrong with Kaname's eyes. They weren't as smug and condescending as before.

"Kuran" Zero nodded his acknowledgment of the pureblood. That startled Kaname because it too held no resentment like previous encounters with the hunter. This only intrigued him further. What had happened to make such a drastic change in the hunter?

"Kiryu" Kaname nodded in reply.

"Sorry to interrupt your meeting but I got the phone call. I sent Hanabusa ahead and Master, Takuma and Ichiru went with him. I put Akatsuki in charge until we get back along with Kaito so hurry up. This is if you still want to come." Zero said over Kaname's shoulder. As if hearing Zero's words the chairman become ecstatic and began flinting around the room grabbing various things and unceremoniously shoving them into a bag.

"Zerooooo! Of course I'm coming! I can't believe this day is already here!" The chairman was still gathering random knickknacks and cramming them into another bag.

"We don't need all that, if you keep this up we'll miss it." The calm hunter stated.

"Not to interrupt whatever this is, but can I inquire as to what is happening that involves 2 members of the night class and 2 hunters?" Kaname asked as he looked between the hunter and exhunter.

Kaname was completely blown away when he saw Zero smile; the kind of smile that reached his eyes and made his entire face light up. It was then that Kaname could distinguish the emotion he saw playing in the ex-human hunters eyes; excitement.

"Well," Zero started looking directly into the purebloods eyes, "We are about to go welcome my son into the world. Want to come along?"
