Vampire Knight FF: Zero Kiryuu X Kaname Kuran

This is my first attempt at writing a story, any story at all by completely typing it. I'm kind of afraid, so let's see how it goes.

Here is the Jeweler series I've been trying to get myself to work on.


Say Yes Chapter 1:

Ding Dong

"Welcome to the Kiryuu Family Jewelers, is there something I can help you with?" The light ginger desk worker asked as the tall, brunette pureblood came in.

"Yes, I'd like to order a custom wedding ring," Kaname Kuran told the man at the desk. He was quite excited for this occasion. In a month, at her favorite dessert shop, he was going to ask Yuki Cross, the love of his life, to marry him. He was mentally bouncing off the walls, ecstatic to make the perfect ring for his perfect lover.

"Of course, right this way. Zero Kiryuu, our head jeweler." The young man lead him to an office at the back of the store.

"Kiryuu sir, you have a customer. He is looking to make a custom piece purchase."He said to the teen working intently over a pair of silver earrings. The light glinted off the teen's similar hair shining like the gems he polished.

"Thank you, Kaito. Please, sit sir," Zero said, proffering his hand for shaking in a polite manner. The vampire sat down across from the surprisingly young head of the business.

"Nice to meet you, Kiryuu. I assume this is a family business that was passed to you?" Kaname said, taking the offered hand and sitting down across the desk of the silverette.

"Yes. My grandfather started the business in 1889 as a young lad. He died a few years ago, leaving me, his apprentice, the whole thing. Were you curious because of the name or because of the age?" Zero said, a slight smile crossing his lips for a moment.

"Well yes, on both accounts. I was surprised to see such a young man working a top job like this. I almost expected a cripple, little old man with arthritic hands working meticulously over his little gems."Kaname said in jest, but he was serious that he was surprised about the one he was now talking to.

"Sorry to disappoint." Zero chuckled aloud. "Now, what are you here for? Let me guess, a custom wedding ring? Who's the lucky lady?"

"Hmm? Oh right, yes I'll be proposing to Miss Yuki Cross in a month. I'd like to give her the perfect ring." Kaname smiled fondly, day dreaming about the event.

"Very good. I'm sure you're very excited. Would you like to start off looking at samples?" Zero said in a casual business manner.

"Sure, what are these here?" Kaname asked picking up the sterling silver earrings Zero had set down. He started, dropping the things back onto the desk after they lightly burned his fingers. A little bit put out, he glared at the crumple objects. The red marks on his finger tips quickly faded, but he was mad none the less.

"Oh, sorry. Probably should have given you a heads up. Those, all though they appear to be normal earrings, they are actually hunter charms. Good thing you're a pureblood, those could have blown your whole hand off otherwise."Zero looked apologetic, picking up the adornments and storing them away. It struck Kaname as odd that the now obviously hunter would carry the things with gloves on himself. What did he have to worry about?

"So I can also assume, you're not just any jeweler?"Kaname said wearily.

"You would be right, again. We specialize in hunter charms, all privately ordered of course. But do not worry, your product will contain no such charm. It will be safe, guaranteed." Zero explained, worrying about the pitch he was making to the pureblood.

It was obvious to Kaname now, if he had just looked for the signs. The odd earrings adorning the top lob of his ear. The strange tattoo covering most of the left side of his neck. And the slight hunter aura the young man gave off. But there was something else there too. Almost vampire like. He dismissed it as the close lineage hunters tended to have with powerful pureblood families.

"May I ask what lineage your clan hails from? If I'm not being too rude." Kaname was curious now, he wanted to know.

"I see no reason why not. I'm no longer an active duty hunter. I take a freelance mission when it's convenient but I'm no longer part of the association. The Kiryuus were created by a Hiou five or six generations ago. Up until the last two generations, the families still kept relations with each other, but my grandfather broke off all connections when he became head of the house. Shizuka, highly offended, killed him and the rest of the family off a few years ago. The clan has almost died off. Only I and my brother are left of the once proud Kiryuus." Zero explained the whole story. He seemed to be reciting the last part. He didn't much care for the "pride" of the family clan.

"Quite a story. I've heard of the story from within the vampire world. Shikuza Hiou was to be tried by the council, but I'm afraid she's been rouge since that event. I'm sorry."Kaname empathized.

"No need. I'm not worried about her anymore." He shrugged his shoulders. "Now, I was going to show you those samples wasn't I?"


Okay, I haven't really proof read it yet. I'm just glad I made an attempt at writing this in the first place.

I do intend to make this a series. It WILL be ZxK, so sorry Yuki haters, I promise she'll so away soon. :)

Reviews would be apprcieated (ugh can't spell this evening XP) so please give me your imput.
