It was a snowy winter day for three young children. Two were young boys no older than twelve and the third was a young girl no older than 8. They all head the same silver hair and white skin but the young girl had the color of the ocean in her eyes while the boys had the color of Lavender in theirs.

"Catch me Zero." the young girl giggled running around and smiling.

"Be careful Jasmine. Don't run to fast" one of the young boys yelled. He was different than then the others. He wasn't as strong and he had softness in his eyes when he looked at the girl.

"Ok Ichiru."The young girl now known as Jasmine said to the young boy and went to hug him. "I love you."

"Hey what about me?" the last boy asked them. He had a spirit in him that showed he cared for his family and would do anything for them.

"You know we love you Zero. You're our brother." She giggled and was suddenly in the middle of a group hug.

"We love you too little Jasmine."the boys said at the same time.

After an hour they all went home and got cleaned up.

"Zero, Ichiru, Jasmine. Supper time." Their mother called for them and they all went downstairs to enjoy their meal with their family. When they finished the kids starting cleaning the kitchen. Zero washed the dishes while Ichiru helped their younger sister put away the food that they ate that night. When the two younger ones were finished they started to rinse, dry and put away the dishes Zero washed. When they all were finished they went to their room and laid in bed.

"Can someone please read a bedtime story please." the young girl asked her brothers as she curled up into them. Zero nodded and looked at his siblings with much love in his eyes. He read them a story but he never got to the ending because his siblings were asleep and soon so was he.

Hours later when the moon was high in the sky the young of the twins woke up from his slumber and left the room that held his siblings and soon left the house to follow the smell of sakura's. He followed it until he was looking upon a full bloom sakura tree in the dead of winter.

"How?" he looked up to meet the eyes of a beautiful woman in the tree who was crying. " Why are you crying?" he yelled at the woman thoughtfully.

"I am not the only one sad." the woman said softly. "Why are you sad young one?"

"I'm not sad." Ichiru said.

"Then why do you shed tears" the woman pointed out. Ichiru felt his face to find tears falling from his eyes.

They talked for what seemed like hours when the woman asked "Do you want me to help you be free from your source of sadness" he nodded. She grabbed him and started speeding to his home.

"Why are we here?"

"They are the reasons for our sadness." This confused the boy to no end. Yes he was sad that he was too weak to rough house with his brother and sister but he only found happiness when he was near his sister because she would always make sure he could still play with her. He was brought out of his thoughts when an alarm ringed. It was his family vampire system.

"Why are you here Hio?" His parent were in their fighting stance with their weapons ready for anything when they saw him. " Ichiru get away from her. She's a killer."

In the room upstairs that held his siblings the youngest of the three was awake and looked outside to see her brother and parents on opposite sides of the yard. What shocked the poor girl was that her brother was protecting a vampire. She ran back to her brother Zero and start shaking him.

"Zero wake up. Wake up Zero please." she kept shaking her brother until he woke up with an angry groan.

"What?"

"We have to hide. Ichiru is protecting a bad lady. It's a vampire." with that the oldest of the three jumped out of the bed and ran downstairs. But before he could even make it down the stairs he heard the screams of his parents. Even though he wanted to save them one person went through his head. His little sister.

"Jasmine." he ran upstairs but as he was running he felt a gust of wind up the stairs. "JASMINE!" he yelled running up the stairs faster to find Ichiru and Hio holding Jasmine.

"What a beautiful flower. Don't think so, little boy?" Hio said caressing Jasmine's shaky cheek?

"Let her go vampire. She's innocent."Zero glared at the woman then looked at his brother. "Ichiru why are you doing this?"

"You two always leave me behind. You pity me that's why you hang out with me." Ichiru snapped.

"But why hurt Jasmine? She is innocent."

"Nii-Chan please stop." Jasmine begged Ichiru as she started to cry. Hio walked up to Zero and knelt down.

"You could take her place."
