Chapter 1
Zero Kiryu stood before the gates that led to the building that would change his life forever. The building loomed before him like a death sentence, something Zero would rather face at the moment instead of walking through those doors. If he could help it he would have never stepped foot in the building, but fate had taken that decision out of his hands just like it had his parents.
The building itself was fairly innocent, yet upscale. It was made out of beige bricks with large windows covering the expanse, which to some seemed elegant. At three stories tall and over a football field in length, it was quite the imposing site. There were also three other grandiose buildings, two of them probably dorms while the other would have to be the headmaster's home. The entire building, and its immaculately kept grounds, had an air of superiority about them. It was a highly expensive private academy that most people would feel lucky to be able to attend it. The golden plaque above the gates proudly declared the school to be 'Cross Academy, A School Founded on Coexistence'.
"Zero?" a smooth voice brought him out of his inner musings.
Glancing to his side, he stared at the mirror image of himself, "What is it Ichiru?"
"Are you alright?" Ichiru gazed at his older twin in concern.
Zero huffed, "Not particularly, not like I have a choice though."
Ichiru understood his twin's hesitance at entering the school. There were many things housed in the school that reminded Zero of the memories he would rather forget. However, as his twin had stated, they had no choice.
"After four years, I've finally come back to the one place that I hate the most," Zero growled.
Ichiru threw his arm around Zero's shoulder as he tried to lighten the mood, "Don't worry Zero-chan, I'll protect you."
Zero chuckled softly, "I feel so much better." Then his expression flattened, "Best get it over with."
The two twins walked onto the school grounds, shoulders brushing as they moved. They ignored the stares they were getting from the other students as they whispered amongst themselves. It wasn't like it was anything new, it happened wherever they went. Their unusual appearance was one thing, but being twins was another.
"Zero! Ichi!" a voice screamed across the campus, causing both boys to freeze in their tracks.
Turning slowly they saw a man with glasses and long blonde hair tied in pony tail running towards them. He was nearly prancing as he made his way across the grounds, arms thrown wide. They both took a step back but he was already upon them.
"Zero! Ichi!" he screamed again, tears flowing from his eyes as he went to jump on them.
His actions were halted as a fist smashed into the side of his face. Zero stood above the man on the floor his fist out as his shoulders shook. Ichiru stood back, irritation and amusement on his face.
"Damn it Uncle Kaien! Act your age!" Zero shouted shaking his fist.
Kaien sat on the ground, holding his cheek as he pouted up at the two twins, "So mean Zero-rin!"
"Don't call me that!" Zero yelled as he stepped toward the man, raising his fist again.
Ichiru rushed into action, grabbing his twin's arm, "Come on Z, he's just happy to see us! Cut him some slack."
"Oh Ichi!" Kain gushed as he went to glomp the younger twin.
His hopes were soon crushed as a foot stomped him back down to the ground as Zero growled, "Hands off."
Ichiru sighed, even after all these years Zero was still so over protective. No matter how much he tried to prove to the other that he wasn't the frail sickly youth he had been, Zero had still designated himself Ichiru's protector. While it was sweet, it sometimes got on his nerves.
"You two have certainly changed," Kaien stated, standing with a serious look on his face.
Zero snorted, "Astute observation."
Ichiru smacked Zero in the back on the head as he ordered sternly, "Behave!"
The older twin rubbed the back of his head, "Tch, he started it."
"Oh yeah, that speaks of maturity right there," Ichiru replied sarcastically, rolling his eyes.
Zero ignored him in favor of addressing their uncle, "So we're here."
Kaien nodded, "Of course, let's continue this in my office."
The two silently followed their uncle into the main building of the school, contemplating the reason why they were there in the first place. All of their known relatives were either deceased or didn't want the two cursed twins. Luckily their uncle Kaien had agreed to take them in.
Zero sighed as he was lead into an elaborately decorated office. The man obviously had the tendency to over decorate. It was also obvious that the man had way too much money that he didn't know what to do with.
Kaien seated himself behind the desk and waved his hand at the seats before the desk, "Please, sit."
Zero went to protest but Ichiru shoved him into the chair with a smile, "Thanks."
Zero grunted but offered no other protest. Ichiru grinned at his twin before swiftly plopping himself on his brother's lap. Zero sighed but didn't react other than to put an arm around the younger twin's waist to steady him. Kaien observed the two with calculating eyes before dismissing their odd tendencies.
"So as you know, you two will be staying here until you are old enough to move out on your own. However, you are welcome to stay and finish your education here. I will provide all I can for you as your guardian. Are there any questions you have for me?" Kaien asked softly.
"Why are there vampires here?" Zero growled out, feeling several nobles and a pureblood tickling his hunter senses.
Ichiru smacked Zero again, "I said behave."
Zero glared at his twin, "I can always dump your ass on the floor."
Ichiru grinned at him, "Nah, you wouldn't, you love me too much."
Zero grumbled but said nothing. Ichiru had a point; he wouldn't shove his twin on the floor. He could hurt the other if he wasn't careful.
Kaien coughed slightly, getting the attention of the two silverettes, "As for the vampires, I'm sure you noticed the sign when you came in. This is an academy founded on the belief that humans and vampires can live together peacefully."
Zero shoved Ichiru from him lap, standing and slamming his hands down on the desk before him, "Are you insane!"
"Now Zero, I know how you feel-," Kaien started.
"You don't know shit! Don't talk like you know me!" Zero shouted, shoulders trembling.
"Zero," Ichiru whispered, touching Zero's shoulder with a soft hand.
Kaien's eyes hardened slightly, "I know what happened Zero, with your parents and Shizuka Hio. I also know what you are."
"You don't know anything! You weren't there! That bitch murdered our parents in cold blood right in front of us! Then you know what! She turned me! Right in front of Ichiru! She made him watch!" Zero shouted, tears glistening on his lashes for the pain his brother had to endure.
Kaien's eyes widened at that, he hadn't know that part. He had read what happened in the report from the hunters that had arrived on scene. When the hunters had gotten there, the Kiryu twins were gone.
"Zero," Ichiru murmured, pulling Zero into his arms as he glared at Kaien over the other's shoulder.
"I'm sorry… I didn't mean to pull up bad memories… But I do have to ask, where have you been the last four years?" Kaien asked softly, knowing it would only bring up worse memories.
Ichiru answered, "She took us and kept us as her own personal toys."
Kaien knew that there was more behind the story but decided not to ask, instead he questioned, "What happened to Shizuka?"
Zero chuckled into his brother's shoulder, "She had an accident."
"What kind of accident?" Kaien asked with a frown.
"The fatal kind," Ichiru deadpanned, giving nothing else away.
Again, Kaien decided not to ask any further questions, "Alright… Please, sit down." Once the twins were situated as before, he continued, "You two will be students here. As Zero is… what he is, he will be in the Night Class while you Ichiru will be in the Day Class."
"Night Class? Day Class?" Ichiru asked as his brother remained pensive.
"The Day Class is for the humans… While the Night Class consists of the vampires," Kaien explained, waiting for the outburst.
"You can't put Zero in with those bloodsuckers!" Ichiru protested.
"It cannot be helped, he has to be with his own kind Ichiru," Kaien spoke, leaving no room for argument.
"Then I want to be in the Night Class as well," Ichiru demanded.
"No, it's fine. I don't want you anywhere near those leeches," Zero growled, tightening his grip on his twin.
"But Zero!" Ichiru protested.
"My decision is final Ichiru," Zero spoke with finality.
Ichiru knew that he had lost; Zero hardly ever used his full name, "Fine… But you can come and visit me."
"I'm sorry but Night Class students are forbidden from entering the Sun Dorms… However, given the special circumstances, I will allow visitations to the Moon Dorm for you Ichiru," Kaien relented.
Ichiru pouted, "Fine."
Kaien clapped his hands then, "Alright! Then we should continue!" A soft knock on the door interrupted their conversation, "Oh, come in!"
The door opened and someone walked in, "You wanted to see me Chairman?"
Zero froze at the sound of that voice. Ichiru also recognized the voice as he laced his fingers with Zero's. They had only been on campus for less than an hour and of course they had to run into him.
"Oh Kaname-kun! I wanted to introduce you to the new students," Kaien beamed at the new person.
Kaname turned to the two people occupying one chair and his eyes visibly widened. After all these years, they were finally back.
"Zero?"
END
A/N: Alright, there is the first chapter. As you noticed there is no prologue to this story. I just kind of jumped right into the main plot. I hope no one has any complaints. We got a little insight into Zero and Ichiru and what has happened in their past. Also, Kaname has showed up on the scene. Please let me know if you think I should continue.
