Zero walked up the drive way to the Kuran Household. He would keep his promise, even if it was to himself. His gun was loaded and he was ready to kill Yuki Kuran. He walked through the house and found Yuki and Kaname's bedroom. It was early in the morning and the sun was beginning to rise. He thought it'd be easier on himself if it were early in the morning. He walked up to Yuki's bedside and pointed the gun at her. Something started to stir in her arms though. She moved slightly and Zero saw it. It was a baby. He froze and noticed Kaname was awake, with his arm around her. He had one eye open and he was looking right at Zero.

"Can you do it?" he asked.

Zero was silent as he looked at the tiny baby in Yuki's arms. It looked a few months old. It peeked out over the blanket it was wrapped in and Zero saw those eyes. They were so innocent and Zero realized he couldn't do it. He looked down and his arm fell down at his side.

"How could I kill a mother in front of her child?" he asked.

"I'm sure Yuki would like to see you in the afternoon. Do you want to wait?" Kaname asked.

"How can you offer that after I almost killed her?"

"Because I know she didn't want to lose you as a friend."

"What's its name?"

"Her name is Ayame."

"She's beautiful."

"I know."

"I'll be back," he said, "Next time, I won't stop."

Kaname nodded and Zero put his gun away. Kaname watched him leave and went to sleep when he was sure Zero was gone. Ayame was their first child. Her eyes were the same color as her parents. Dark brown almost red. She had brown hair and it was just growing. She was beautiful already and Kaname smiled. His family was safe still.


Sorry for the short chapter. They'll get longer.
