Hello, all.

It's been a while, huh… Well, I couldn't find my flash drive, which happens to have most of the stories you await on it. And they aren't on any other computer or flashdrive I own, so they don't get done that way…

So I worked on others, like this drabble about parenthood.

And now that I found my flashdrive, I'm gonna type it anyway so I feel better, lol. No one enjoys them when they sit in notebooks.

So enjoy!

Any man can be a father, but it takes a special man to be a dad.

I've never been the most traditional parent, but it still killed me inside to see my children at each other's throats, especially in the literal sense.

My foster son declared that he would kill my adopted daughter and her blood brother. Obviously, I can't let that happen, considering how much the two of them love and care for each other.


Little Yuuki had come to me with nothing, not even a name. So I got to give her one, got to teach her all those little things a parent teaches their child. That's why, I believe, she grasped my pacifism so tightly. Either that, or it was her memory of Kaname saving her from a Level E.

When Yagari brought Zero to us, Yuuk took him inside and took care of him, cleaning his wounds and calming his fears. He sort of became her shadow, waiting to protect her and help her as she'd helped him. When he realized the extent of her feelings for Kaname, he closed himself off from her more. After all, she loved a Pureblood, and it had been a Pureblood that had attacked him.

Watching the blood slowly transform Zero was painful. The little boy who had everything else stolen from him was slowly losing his humanity –and his sanity. He fought valiantly to stay out of the Night Class, even though he was a vampire. And the only thing Zero hated more that vampires was himself and his craving for human blood.

His body rejected the blood tablets. With the vampire within him craving sustenance it was not receiving, he attacked Yuuki at the scent of her blood, thereby revealing the secret he had kept for years. Yuuki wasn't angry at Zero. She was angry at herself for not seeing his pain. So she began to feed him, hiding it as best she could from the Night Class and trying to keep him sane.

When the Hunter's Association sent Yagari, she gave Zero the strength to keep on fighting, rather than let his Shishou kill him. Yagari himself appreciated this gesture, because he'd practically raised him before the attack. A "parent" should never have to kill their "child".

For a while, life complicated and simplified itself. Shizuka died and Zero was blamed. Kaname made the Council back off. Off and on, complication and resolution. Until Rido took over the body of his son, Senri, and came to Cross Academy. That caused a certain complication that could never be resolved again, not with the limited number of Purebloods/

Kaname woke Yuuki, his blood sister. Their mother, Juri, had given her life to protect Yuuki and hide her as a human. But things were breaking through. Kaname had to act fast to maintain her sanity, but in the process, destroyed her relationship with Zero.


Now, Zero is pained at every mention of her name, at every thought of her. To think he loved and protected a Pureblood seems to make him sick.

Yuuki is with Kaname again, but I know she misses the violet-eyed Zero. I can tell by the way her eyes seek him out in a crowded room: first hopeful, then resigned to his hatred, and finally accepting it and hating herself for causing him pain.

I don't think he realizes that he destroys her slowly, with every averted glance and stony silence. He'll never have to kill her: his hatred with do the job for him.

So irony rules. The girl Zero would never allow to be turned was the long-hidden Pureblood Princess.

He thinks the Fates are laughing at him.

I know they laugh at me. when all I ever wanted was my children to be happy, one is miserable with her true brother and the other wants to kill her.

The only problem with being a Dad is knowing that you can't always protect your children. All you can do is love them, help them when they ask, and pray.


I hope you enjoyed this little drabble. It took me a while to write it, but I liked how it turned out. Hope you do, too!

You know what to do!

R & R!

Also, don't forget to look for chapter two! It's fatherhood from Yagari's prospective!
