Prologue
Yuki Kuran.
This is the name of the Pureblood who was unlike other Purebloods. She wasn't cold and stoic, she was kind and caring. The reason for this was because she was raised as a human for ten years of her life. She was at many times compared to the sun for her warm personality. Due to her special charm she was able to capture the heart of the most powerful Pureblood to ever live,
Kaname Kuran.
Depending on who you asked you would get a different answer describing him. The first King of the Kuran clan, the ruthless ruler of vampire society, puppet master, evil, twisted, and so many more. He was mostly known for a certain achievement, sacrificing his heart to the furnace to keep it burning. The furnace had been burning for 10,000 years after an ancestress known as the hooded woman threw her heart into the flames. Since then it has kept burning and creating new anti-vampire weapons, until it needed a new heart to replenish it. That heart was Kaname's.
After throwing his heart in the furnace he left Yuki alone in the world to fend for herself. He was frozen in an ice coffin so his body would remain untouched by time. This was how the story ended. Now most stories have a beginning and an end, but this ending was only the beginning.
Chapter 1: Revival of the King
As Yuki stood in front of the ice coffin she started to wonder how he could do this to her. Why did he think she loved Zero? If he wanted her to be happy he should have just stayed with her! A crack formed in the nearby wall.
"Why?" She whimpered, "Why did you do this to me?" She cried out in anguish, "You're the one who awakened me! You said you loved me! That I could stay with you forever! So why? Why did you leave me?" She crumpled to the ground bawling her eyes out with her hands covering her face.
Yuki then felt another presence enter the room, one she was very familiar with, Zero.
"Yuki, you have to stop, you can't keep doing this to yourself." He said trying to reason with her.
However in seconds she was in front of him, her eyes blazing red. Before he could react she tackled him and knocked him to the ground. She bit into his arm and it was then he realized what was wrong with her.
"Yuki you're-" She pushed him away and held her stomach.
Tears gathered in her eyes once more as she turned to look at Kaname.
Zero turned her to face him, "What did he do to you Yuki?" He asked in a low tone.
"We…" She couldn't even begin to explain what had happened that night.
"You let him touch you." He concluded, "You let him take away something that can never be restored." She could feel his anger rising.
"I wanted him to! It was my choice!"
"You're pregnant because of that choice!" Yuki said nothing, "A monster is growing inside of you now."
These words angered her even further, "My child is not a monster!" The entire wall was now in rubles and Yuki ran out of the chamber.
Zero chased after her, "Where you going?" He called out to her.
She frowned, "Somewhere where my child and I can live in peace. Goodbye, Zero." With that she morphed into a colony of golden butterflies and disappeared. That was the last time anyone saw Yuki Kuran.
1 Year Later
Zero had not seen Yuki since that day and with his training to become the next Association President taking up most of his time he could not go out and look for her. Suddenly Kaito burst into the room.
"Yuki Kuran, we found her." In seconds he was out the door with Kaito hot on his heels.
"Where is she?" Zero asked.
"Last seen at a hospital three months ago, we traced the records to her location."
"Where are they?" Zero asked as soon as he was outside and in the car.
"The address is in the file, we already sent a team to the location but they want you to be there." Kaito explained. Zero nodded and drove off.
When he was out of sight Kaito's body began to reshape itself into a different person. His hair became long and the color became a light brown. His brown eyes became green and finally the body structure became that of a woman's. The imposter chuckled, "You really are dumb aren't you Kiryu? Kaito is on a mission in Siberia. Were you too preoccupied with with finding Yuki that you forgot that?" She chuckled again before turning around and leaping into the air. She landed on the roof of a store and began jumping from rooftop to rooftop heading in the direction of the Hunters Association Headquarters.
When Zero arrived at his destination, he found it was a quiet cottage in the middle of a forest. It was hidden from the outside world so it was a perfect place to hide. However as he stopped in front of the cottage he saw there was no team and the house was empty. He stepped out of the car to get a better look but as soon as his foot touched the ground a bright light shone, blinding him. When it faded he saw he was in a anti-vampire cage. He gritted his teeth remembering something very important, Kaito was in Siberia. The cottage may have been a good place to hide but it was also a good place to set a trap. He'd been had.
The Kaito imposter stood in front of the Hunters Association waiting for her companion to arrive. Moments later he was standing right next to her.
"So what's the plan, Chihiro?" He asked her.
"Simple," She focused her power on the wall and it instantly blew apart, "we go in, get the heart, you put your heart in the furnace and I go to the Academy and give Kuran his heart back." Chihiro jumped through the hole she had made and her hooded companion followed her.
"I only agreed to this so they could be happy, but why are you doing this?" He asked as he followed her in.
"My motives are not important." Chihiro cryptically replied as she froze all the hunters charging at them in place.
"That's not what I asked Chihiro Hanadagi, why would you, whose father was killed by him, want to make them happy?" He interrogated as they walked passed more paralyzed hunters.
Chihiro chuckled, "I hated my father, he was me a favor by killing him." She explained as they entered the building.
They may have been surrounded but Chihiro easily paralyzed them and they effortlessly made it to the furnace room where they found the furnace with Kaname's heart keeping it burning.
"I'll get it and as soon as I grab it you will toss your heart in the furnace." Chihiro stated and he nodded.
Chihiro reached her hand into the furnace, wincing at the pain, she grabbed the heart and quickly pulled it out. Quickly Isaya pulled his heart out and threw it in the furnace before its flames could go out.
He collapsed to the ground, his body beginning to crystallize, "Go, Chihiro, bring Kaname back to her." These were the last words Isaya Shoto spoke before completely disappearing from this world.
Chihiro nodded and turned to leave but found herself surrounded by hunters. She frowned, taking the heart out must have disabled her paralyzation on them. Wait, if they were no longer paralyzed then the anti-vampire cage she had set up to trap Zero would…
As Zero sat in the cage trying to figure a way out it began to glow before shattering. He had no idea what had just happened but he was going to make whoever did this to him pay. He hopped into his car and drove to the Association.
Chihiro gulped but knew as long as he didn't catch her Zero wouldn't be able to harm her. She had enough power left to escape so she made her get away and teleported to Cross Academy. Now that she was there she would just need to bring the heart to Kaname and everything would be over.
When Zero arrived at the Association he knew whoever had trapped him had been here. The hole in the wall was a dead give away. He was avoided by most since he looked really pissed off. He entered the President's office to find his teacher, Touga Yagari, and Kaien Cross substitute President waiting for him there.
"Mind telling us where you've been?" Yagari asked, clearly annoyed.
"And imposter disguised as Kaito told me that we had found Yuki and I rushed to the location only to find that it was a trap. I was stuck in an anti-vampire cage for over an hour until it suddenly broke." Zero explained as he sat down on the couch across from Yagari. "What happened here?"
"The Senshi, is what, that Kaito imposter was none other than the Shapeshifter herself. We don't know what her real name is but she is the daughter of the late lord of the Hanadagi clan. She blew up the wall paralyzed everyone and stole Kuran's heart from the furnace." Yagari explained.
Zero's eyes widened, "What?!"
"With her was Isaya Shoto who threw his heart in after she took Kuran's. Then she teleported out, we don't know where she is now." Yagari concluded.
"We have to find her." Zero stated.
"How? The Senshi has been able to evade our radars for years this is the first time in the past twenty years that she's been spotted. We actually thought she was dead until now."
"He's right, Kiryu-kun, the urgency of the situation is high but what are we going to do if we don't know where she is?" Kaien asked.
"We'll find her, have every hunter we have available searching."
"Alright, I'll go do that." Yagari said as he began to leave the office but he stopped as a thought dawned him, "What do you think she wants to do with Kuran's heart anyway? If she wanted to devour it for power then she would have done that on the spot and not had Isaya with her to throw his heart in." This also stuck Zero and Kaien as odd, what would she do with the heart now that she had it if it wasn't to gain power?
Finding the secret chamber that they had hidden Kaname in was not easy, but Chihiro had found it. Now she was staring at the ice coffin that held him. She walked towards it and placed her hand on the ice. Cracks formed before it shattered, releasing Kaname's body.
Hanabusa Aido awoke with a jolt. Something had happened to the ice coffin. He was the one who created it so he would know when something happened every time. He felt another shiver go down his spine before the tingling feeling disappeared all together, the ice coffin had been broken. His eyes became red, how dare anyone disturb the slumber of their King! He got out of bed quickly and got dressed, he had a few calls he needed to make.
Chihiro placed Kaname's heart in his empty chest and watched as the blood vessels reattached themselves and the hole closed up. She waited for a moment before his eyes shot open. His blazing red eyes bore into her own green ones. His claw was around her neck and he was bearing his fangs at her. He was clearly angry.
"Well someone doesn't like being woken up." She choked out but she could tell he didn't want jokes, he wanted answers. "Good morning, Kuran. Let's cut to the chase, Isaya threw his heart in the furnace to replace yours, he is dead now. I brought your heart back with me so I could wake you up."
"Why?" He asked still angry.
"How long has it been since Yuki came to see you? A while right?" He said nothing, "I know you could still sense what happened around you while you were in there. The last time you sensed Yuki she had an argument with Kiryu and never came back right?" Kaname said nothing but nodded, "The reason for that argument was that they found out she was pregnant, with your child."
Kaname's eyes widened and he let go of Chihiro's neck, "My child?" He repeated in disbelief.
"Yes, if I recall he called the child a monster and that made her really mad."
"How dare that insolent ex-human call my child a monster!" Kaname growled.
Chihiro nodded, "Well I have to go. If Kiryu catches me he'll kill me for tricking him and making a mess of the Association. I didn't really have permission to take your heart."
"I see, well will you enlighten me with the information as to why you helped me, Chihiro Hanadagi?" Kaname asked.
"I hated my father, you killing him isn't something I will hold against you."
"Very well, then where is Yuki?" He asked.
"Kuran mansion, she cast a spell on the mansion creating the illusion that it wasn't in use, so they never looked there for her."
Kaname nodded and stood. The he morphed into an army of bats and flew away. She felt the presence of hunters and vampires coming so Chihiro took that as her cue to leave and teleported out of there.
