A/N: Hey guys and thank you for clicking on the link. I truly hope you guys enjoy this and can't wait to see what you think of this story. Anyway enjoy! Also the first chapter is a little rushed (Sorry about that) I just really want this story to start off fast.

The first sensation Tsukune felt was the same he had been feeling for the past two years. Warmth. More specifically the warmth on his chest which gave him a big smile every day. He slowly opened his eyes and was met with the same dark blue eyes. "Good morning my love".

Tsukune placed a kiss on his lover's forehead, "Good morning Mizore". He gave her one of his signature smiles and almost immediately got a response. He felt her hips start to move around and a sneaky smirk came to the snow woman's face.

"You know Tsukune. You were amazing last night, as always. I think I'm ready for round three though". Tsukune smiled sheepishly and even though this was his life now he couldn't believe the way it turned out. Two years ago he was a senior at Yokai academy, with friends that were there for him every day. Eventually though graduation day came.

That day was the day his group of friends were going to disband. Head off into different directions including Tsukune most likely returning to the human world. Though the others didn't go down without a fight.

Moka, Kurumu and Yukari all pleaded and begged Tsukune to celebrate graduation with him at their respective houses. Tsukune noticed each of them had their own kind of devious smile on their faces, each of them having different ideas about said party.

Even through all the commotion the three teenage monster girls were causing, fighting over who was going to take Tsukune home. He had noticed that someone was missing from this and that person was none other than Mizore. He took a quick look around the environment, eying each tree, rock or crevice and knew that she was gone.

Not a moment ago the beautiful Mizore was standing there with the group and now she just upped and vanished. With one last look Tsukune looked at the fighting girls to see Yukari in a headlock from Kurumu and Moka was on the back of the succubus trying to break her grip of the young witch. He snuck away and blended himself in with the trees before heading out to his destination. If Mizore was indeed not watching from afar then there was only one other place she would be.

The 5 minute walk was brisk and when he came to the end of the tree line sure enough there she was. Standing at the edge of the cliff he had saved her from in freshman year. The snow woman was sitting on the ground with her knees pulled in towards her chest and her arms wrapped firmly around them.

Being confused at the scene Tsukune walked forward and knew there was no point in announcing his arrival. She had known he was approaching since he had left the podium with the other girls.

With a sit down, the human looked at her friend with his worried chocolate brown eyes. He was rather hurt when Mizore turned her gaze farther away from him. "Mizore" he called out softly which pulled on the snow woman's heart strings. "What is wrong? Is everything alright?"

She would have shut down any and all emotions but it was the day of Graduation and the last day she would ever see the love of her life. It was time to get her problem off her chest and then go on with life a little happier. But not as happy as she could've been, not by a long shot.

"Tsukune. I know that the other girls are asking for you to travel to their home and spend the graduation weekend with them. I would have asked you to celebrate with me back in the village, but-"small bits of anger entered her cold system. "It would have been a waste of my breath."

Tsukune felt hurt after his longtime friend said that to him. "I know you don't like me the way I want you to Tsukune. You're in love with Moka and no matter what I would have said wouldn't change your mind from going home with her."

Tears were slowly falling down her cheeks. The coldness of her skin almost turning them into small icicles. She had failed in her ability to find a mate on her own. Mizore was 17 now and if she returned without a Husband then she would be wed to a complete stranger just for the sake of giving birth to children. That was the last thing she wanted, it was what she wanted with Tsukune that made her see the world differently.

Her life wasn't just about birthing offspring to help her race continue. It was about what she wanted, her choice in life. Being able to actually fall in love with someone before marrying them instead of just having a random man thrust upon her.

For once she thought Tsukune was the one to complete her dream of having that kind of relationship. But she was too late. That vampire, Moka had captured his heart from day one and now here Mizore sat. Waiting for Tsukune to stand up and leave her to go join the pink haired girl, mentally preparing herself to be scolded by her mother and being told by the snow priestess that she was now being chosen for.

Then the unexpected happened and from that moment on Mizore felt as though she was the luckiest girl in the whole world. She felt a warm presence on her shoulder and almost immediately darted her eyes up. Tsukune's hand was placed firmly on her shoulder and the heat he was emanating was basically radiating all over her body.

"I could never leave you Mizore. I would never leave the woman I love".

If the hand Tsukune placed on her shoulder was able to have such a large effect on her, then this was blowing that feeling over the top of the moon. Mizore felt her breath hitch and her heartbeat started to beat twice as fast. She was trying her best to do anything or say something to Tsukune but she found herself frozen in place, oh the irony!

Seeing the shy Mizore stuck in place Tsukune decided to make sure things were clear for her. He placed a hand under her chin and lifted up. He slowly moved his lips down and once he felt the slightly cool lips of the woman he loved, then he knew everything would be alright.

Mizore felt her insides melt and just like Tsukune, she knew from now on everything would be alright

That was two long years ago and since that day when they shared their first kiss life had flown by. They were both married at age 17 at a private wedding and even though they despised what was happening Yukari, Kurumu and Moka had attended. It was then that for the first time in snow people history a human had become one of their villagers.

It was rather mixed emotions at first. More than half of the population were all for letting Tsukune stay with them. It was the snow people's way to be respectful and always have the best intentions at heart for the fellow snow men and women. The other percentage unfortunately were more than displeased about a human living there. Most of them had grudges against the damage mankind had created, sending monsters into the shadows without really getting to know them.

Tsukune was a little scared around those people. They might talk about how humans could easily burn down an entire field. But they always kept out one major component out. The fact that if it was just one person then they could have easily stopped him from doing something he would regret. Humans alone were weak but it seemed as though the average snow boy and snow girl thought of him as a one man wrecking machine.

'Maybe it could work out better for me if people thought I could burn down entire fields by myself Tsukune thought to himself.

(Back to present)

Mizore kissed her husband passionately and started to slowly slide her hand down his naked chest and to the main objective. She was about to start but stopped when she heard something out of the ordinary. Someone was running and it sounded like tiny feet.

She stopped kissing her husband and quickly rolled off the top of him. Tsukune felt disappointment at first and then confusion. Once Mizore started she never ever ended before both of them had been pleased. Was she just teasing him with the kiss? It most certainly wouldn't have been the first.

Then with the sound of the bed room door creaking open Tsukune knew the reason. He laughed slightly and sat up in his bed to see the interrupter.

"Daddy?"

A small adorable 2 year old girl stood in his doorway. Her purple hair that reached down to her shoulder had an extreme case of bed head. Tsukune could easily see the bags underneath her dark blue eyes. She was like a clone of Mizore, people would look at his daughter and be surprised to learn that he was her father.

"Yes my little snow girl?" Tsukune looked over to his wife and gave him a knowing smile. Which she returned. He grabbed a pair of boxers that were sitting on the nightstand and put them on underneath the sheets.

His daughter brought her left hand up to her face and started to rub her tired eyes. Tsukune smiled and saw her teddy bear dangling from the same hand. The same white teddy bear that he had given to her when she was born and now never went anywhere without.

Tsukune got out of his bed and walked over to his daughter. He got on his knee in front of her. "Had another bad dream huh?" Tsukune said answering his own question.

"Ye-Yes" she answered with a small yawn.

"Oh Ayaka" Tsukune hugged his beautiful daughter. He could feel his daughter snuggle into his chest and sigh with content.

"You're always so warm daddy. It makes me feel happy." Tsukune smiled.

"Well I'm glad to hear there is someone else who likes that as well". Tsukune heard the giggle come from behind him. "You know what? I feel like making some pancakes today. How does that sound Ayaka?"

"Yes! Yes! Yes!" she jumped away from her father and started to jump around in joy. She absolutely loved her father's pancakes, they were the best thing to eat in the whole village. Especially since it was a food that was only served in the human world.

"Alright lucky for us I picked up some more pancake mix from the human world last week". Tsukune rustled his daughter's hair more and then walked to the closet next to his door and picked out a pair of black shorts and a black t-shirt.

Tsukune knew that he lived in a winter snow village and it would be insane to just be wearing these clothes. Much to his approval though after 1 year of living in the frozen tundra the cold no longer seemed to bother him as much. Without that he would be wearing a snow suit inside his own house while the rest of his family moved around without anything to keep them warm.

When Tsukune was finished getting dressed he surprised his daughter by picking her up. Earning a squeal from Ayaka. "I love you daddy" Ayaka said and placed a big wet kiss on her father's forehead. Tsukune laughed.

"I love you my little snow princess". Tsukune placed a kiss on Ayaka's cheek.

A loud horn invaded the calm morning air and all three of them stopped what they were doing and listened. "What is that?"

Tsukune faced his wife and saw utter confusion etched on her face. "I haven't heard that sound since I was a child. When the North slope was overrun by the Yeti's". The horn sounded again and Tsukune knew it was time to investigate.

"Stay with your mother Ayaka" Tsukune dropped her on his shared bed and quickly ran out of the room.

"Tsukune wait!" He was already running out of the front door of the house and out of ear shot. He was immediately met with people running. They were all headed in the same direction, to the entrance of the village. He followed in suite and was worried. The village was always peaceful nothing ever broke through the calm demeanor. Was someone hurt? Did a Yeti slip by the Rangers? Whatever it was it was causing a commotion.

Rounding another house was when Tsukune got first glimpse. People were circling around something in the main courtyard. A scream of pain broke through the whispering of the crowd and Tsukune knew he was needed.

He ran forward and pushed through people, "Move it!" he yelled out. People noticed who was trying to break through them. They made a clear path for the human to get to the center, knowing well he would help out the most.

An older looking snow man was lying on the ground holding his chest. Blood was seeping past his shaking hand and getting all over his blue uniform, he was wearing a Ranger uniform. Other Rangers were on their knees trying to stop the bleeding.

A female Ranger looked up and saw Tsukune standing there, a smile replaced her grim mood. "Doc you're here he's not looking good".

Tsukune nodded and got on the other side of the man. "Hey I told you here he is" the female Ranger cooed the injured man. "Our best Doctor in the village, Tsukune Aono, will help you get better".

The injured man heard half of the sentence and merely nodded along. "What's the damage?" Tsukune slowly removed the man's hand from covering the wound, a slight pain filled moan made Tsukune nervous. Whatever happened it had really hit this guy hard.

Tsukune felt his grip on the man's hand weaken immensely. It wasn't a wound or anything he had seen before while living in the snow village. It was a gunshot wound. What the hell? He felt his body go cold. The only ones who had rifles were the Rangers, was this guy attacked by other Rangers?

"Doc what's wrong?" Tsukune felt himself return back to normal as he looked to the female Ranger again. "Why are you looking at me like that?"

"This man was shot with a standard issue Ranger expedition rifle". The female Ranger quickly stood to her feet. She had a look of confusion and a mixture of shock. The thought of a Ranger opening fire on a fellow Ranger made her sick. Maybe the Doc was just confused with the wound, maybe it was just a weird claw wound from a Yeti.

"You think a Ranger shot one of his brothers?" One of the Rangers who was in the background commented. He looked angrily at Tsukune for even suggesting such a thing.

"No!" Tsukune said more forcefully then he would've liked, "All I'm saying is he was shot by a rifle. I'm not pinning this on any one in the Ranger core. Alright?" The Ranger that spoke out backed off, slightly pleased by the answer from the Human.

"Private! I need you to tell me what happened". The Ranger said nothing just kept staring into the sky and continuously shaking. Tsukune asked the same question again and unfortunately got the same result.

"It's no use Doc, he says he will only report to Captain Nori". Tsukune took his black t-shirt off, much to the liking of most of the girls in the crowd, then proceeded to place it over the wound.

"Then where the hell is he!?" Tsukune pushed down hard on the seeping wound and earned an earth shattering scream. "I need one of you to get to my office and get a few things, I can't help him without it". The Ranger continued to scream and the people in the crowd felt extremely bad for the man. Tsukune kept muttering a 'sorry' in hopes that it would ease the man's pain.

Tsukune heard the female Ranger order one of the other men to head for the hospital. "Hey don't worry you'll be fine". Tsukune looked behind him to see a Ranger running from the group towards the Hospital. Then all of a sudden Tsukune felt a warm presence on top of the hand that was holding the shirt down.

Looking back, it was one of the injured Rangers hand. "Please" he spoke slowly, a small dribble of blood fell out of his lower lip. "I need to tell the Captain what happened".

"Then go ahead". Tsukune noticed a small amount of snow fly into the air and looked to the new person. Captain Nori stood there for a moment taking in the injured man's appearance and then got down on her knees. Her dark blue uniform had ice forming on the sides and her purple eyes bore into the soul of the man in front of her. Tsukune noticed her blue hair tied into a ponytail which was showing off the little mark she had on her face. Usually she wore her hair down so people didn't see the claw mark left behind by a Yeti. The 3 claw mark line traveled from the top left of her face and ended at the bottom right of her lip. Tsukune of course being the person that tended to the wound.

"It's good to see you Doctor Aono". She commented as she quickly glanced in his direction. Tsukune knew she never was the kind of person to talk unless absolutely necessary, like disciplining some lower ranked men and woman or while talking to her commanders.

"Captain Nori" the man sounded relieved as finally his message was to be delivered. "I come with a message".

Nori didn't say anything and merely nodded. Tsukune took a look behind him, hoping the Ranger would be back soon. This man was losing a lot of blood and his healing wasn't helping him at all. "The 75th, 77th and 81st Ranger outposts have been totally decimated". Tsukune and Captain Nori felt the air around them still. "I'm the only survivor of the attack" the man started to cry and felt his body start to go cold, colder than usual. "They're were too many of them Captain. We tried but they outnumbered us 200 to 1. Everyone died trying to protect the outposts and I- I couldn't do it". He looked directly into Captain Nori's eyes. "I hid!" he screamed out for everyone to hear.

"I hid while my brothers and sisters fought to their deaths. I did nothing, except for hiding in the castle. They found me and that's when I knew that the enemy attacking us was our own kind!"

The whispering from the crowd ended. All eyes and ears were now pointed towards the dying Ranger on the ground. Tsukune felt like pinching himself right now. Was he dreaming again? That had to be it right? The idea of the peaceful snow people race attacking each other and killing each other in cold blood was frightening. He looked over to the Captain and saw she had the same stoic expression on her face as always, she was good at hiding her emotions but Tsukune knew she was battling with herself on the inside after hearing the news.

"They dragged me through the courtyard, making me look at the dead bodies of my allies and friends. They brought me up to the wall and I gazed out into the surrounding area, there were thousands of them. Wielding rifles, their monster forms showing". Tsukune found he couldn't take his eyes off of the man, what he heard made him sweat. Thousands of them? Where had these snow men and women come from?

The private chuckled and again blood came out of his mouth. "They made a demonstration out of me. Questioning how weaklings like me had come to protect the snow people's way of life. He shot me and said I deserved to die a coward's death. They tossed me in the snow and said if I didn't walk they would kill me on the spot. I'm sorry Captain".

"Private. You have nothing to be sorry about". She gave the wounded a Ranger a genuine smile, putting him at ease. Tsukune noticed the man's eyes were drooping slightly. 'Where the hell is that Ranger with my medical supplies?' he thought.

The man, with what little strength he had, took out a piece of parchment from his uniform. "The man who shot me gave me this and told me to give it to you". Captain Niro swiped it out of his hand quickly and opened the folded piece of paper.

Tsukune saw the man's eyelids close shut, "No, no, no, no, no hey private stay with me". No answer. "No don't do this you gotta stay awake for me Private". Again there was no answer, Tsukune cursed to himself and placed his index and middle finger to the Rangers neck. He waited, waited and hoped that he was just taking a nap from the blood loss. Then it hit Tsukune like a train, there was no pulse, the man was dead.

He looked down at his shirt and saw it was swamped with the life juices of this innocent man. With a furious yell, Tsukune threw the shirt onto the ground, "God-Damn-it! You-son-of-a-bitch" he yelled while punching the ground, each punch resonating with each syllable.

With one last look at the Ranger he fell back off of his knees and onto his back side. He ran his blood soaked hand through his hair and started to feel tears prick at the side of his eyes.

It was his first one. Since he started working as a Doctor in the hospital a year ago, no one had died on his watch. He thoroughly enjoyed the anatomy classes back at Yokai academy and then earning his way into the hearts of these people. It turned out he had a real knack for medicine and fixing people up. The one thing he was best at in this world was being a Doctor for these people. They called him the best Doctor they had in decades.

Now, looking at the Rangers bloodied body Tsukune wanted to never work with another patient ever again. A single tear slid down his cheek as he looked up to see Captain Niro walking out of the crowd. "I need to report this Doctor. Have a nice day".

Tsukune didn't respond, he didn't need to. The crowd that was still standing around him looked at both him and the Rangers body, sympathy covering their faces.

"Move it! Get out of my way!" Tsukune knew that voice, he couldn't face her right now after what happened. But he also didn't have the energy to get up let alone run. A few seconds later Mizore pushed her way by the last pedestrian. "Tsukune!"

He watched her run over to him and get down on her knees. "Tsukune are you alright?" she looked more closely at the tears running down his face "Why are you crying? Are you hurt?"

Tsukune knew how easily worried his wife could get and without a word he looked over at the body. She followed his gaze and just now noticed the dead Ranger. Then her gaze went down to the bloodied shirt on the ground. She put 2 and 2 together, "Oh Tsukune I'm so sorry".

She wrapped her arms around the love of her life and felt the heat of his chest. He returned the gesture and now let the tears he was holding in fall freely. "It's all my fault" he kept repeating into Mizore's shoulder, sounding like a mantra. Tsukune stared at the body, making his brain remember this image. From now on he would never let anyone else die on him.

"Come on Tsukune. I think we should go home". He nodded and was able to stand without any help from Mizore. Tsukune looked down at the bloodied shirt and bent down to pick it up.

Mizore inspected the crowd around her and saw a few Teenage girls eyeing up Tsukune as he bent down. She was able to spot one licking her lips and that's when Mizore knew it was time to get her man back home before another body joined the chambers of death.

Tsukune walked away from the dead Ranger and watched as the crowd of people once again cleared out of the way for him. He risked a glance behind him and saw the man's Ranger brothers and sisters surrounding his body. Then the crowd encircled around the center again blocking his view off.

Tsukune hoped that would be the last time he saw somebody die like that. Little did he know that this was just the beginning.
