Hey guyz. This is going to be my next story about Kaname-sama and our dear Zerorin. :3 I hope you like it just as much as my 2 other stories. (:D) Enjoy~! BTW, if you're wondering why I make more stories even though I still have others to complete, the reason is that I simply can't stick to one story. So, more stories means more inspiration for me. Hehe. I hope you guyz understand what I mean. This is a shorter story than Boys Over Bishounen and A Space in Your Heart for Me.


His life was no less than perfect. Well, being a prince of the Vampire Hunters stated no flaw, so he was no exception. Zero Kiryu, the eldest son of King and Queen Kiryu, was said to be the finest being on the faces of the planet. Fierce yet kind, tough but soft, leadership evident in every action and word he made, he was stated to become one of the legends in history. Skill and beauty, everything, it was all in this one person. However, no one ever knew that this ideal prince would face something unexpected in his perfect life.

One spring morning, Zero was doing what he would usually do on a fine day like this. In fact, he even made a schedule for such days. In the morning, he would satisfy himself with the books of the grand library, finding the sections of literature and history the most favored. In the afternoon, he would self-train himself in their royal courtyard, polishing his gunship which has already surpassed the greatest. Lastly, in the evening, he would give time to his younger brother, the Second Prince, Ichiru whom he loved so dearly and took care of. Only at nightfall does he solely devote himself to his frail brother, but when he has the time during the day, he brings him tea, not letting the servants take the task at hand.

So, as said in the given schedule, our dear prince is in the palace's library.

Zero read what was said in the book he engrossed himself on. It was a book he had read over a few times before but seemed to never get tired of it. The so called book was about the history of the 2 most powerful races on the planet, the vampires and the hunters. He had learned quite a hefty amount of information regarding his kingdom and the vampire kingdom through these small pages with barely readable writings in them.

A knock was then heard at the double-doors before a creak followed, signalling the silverette that someone had intruded in his leisure time.

"Is it something urgent?" Zero went directly to the point. Usually, a person in their household would disrupt his library time when an emergency happens, since the silverette specifically ordered, slash pleaded, that no one should disrupt his time in the library. However, when he inquired such a question without looking up from the book he was reading, he wouldn't see or identify the person whom entered. That was until he heard the person speak.

"Am I considered something urgent?" An identical silverette on crutches made his presence to Zero.

"I-ichiru!" Zero placed the book down and hurried to his brother's side. "What are you doing out of bed?" Helping his brother to a nearby window sill, Zero placed his hands on Ichiru's shoulders. "Why are you here? Shouldn't you be resting?" His tone was full of concern. His brother usually spends almost everyday in his room since his legs were suffering ever since he was a child, making him unable to stand without support. Nobody knows why this is so, but despite such, Zero does his utter best to try and help Ichiru to regain his legs again.

"Haha... I just wanted to see my favorite brother." Zero felt a small twinge of guilt in his chest. It had always brought him to tears, the mere thought that his fragile brother went out of his way to just see him.

"Oh, Ichiru." Zero muffled his twin's hair in a loving manner with one hand, earning a small blush to heat up on Ichiru's cheeks. "If you wanted to see me that badly then you could have just sent for me." Zero smiled, pulling his brother into his chest and hugging him tightly like any older brother would who treasures the younger so dearly.

"No. If I would do that... I would feel even more guilty for disturbing you..." Ichiru laughed lightly, placing his cheek onto his older brother's shoulder, enjoying the all too familiar warmth he can never forget.

"Ichiru..." Zero pulled away from the embrace to place both his hands on his brother's slightly tinted cheeks before putting their foreheads together. "Why would you feel guilty? You're the most important thing to me, Ichiru... I'd do anything for your sake.." He smiled as he wiped a small tear that strayed beyond the corner of Ichiru's left eye.

Silence gave way between the two brothers before a small knock was heard on the door again. Zero permitted the person to enter and the twins bowed to honor the presence of their mother. She looked like she had something to say to the two of them so they broke apart from their brace and kept quiet, waiting for what she was going to say.

I have a weird feeling about this... Zero thought to himself.


His life was just as perfect. He grew up full of intelligence and full of talents. This is simply how a person would describe a prince of the Vampires. Kaname is his name, son of King and Queen Kuran, a pure blood. He is known for his leadership and sense of responsibility, not to mention his looks that surpasses the goddess of beauty herself.

It was the same spring day, and Kaname was out in the royal garden, sitting under a tree and sipping at his Earl Grey tea. The morning breeze was fragrant of lavenders and he found it soothing to his senses. He hardly had any leisure time like this. So, that's why he enjoys his breaks to the fullest before going back into fulfilling his responsibilities as the first prince and eldest sibling. He is a busy man after all.

"Kaname nii-sama~!" A young girl with brunette hair ran towards where he was with a small smile plastered on her face. This young girl was Kaname's younger sister, Yuki Kuran, and she was like his little sunshine during some gloomy days of his.

"Good morning, Yuki." He set down his cup of tea and opened his arms to her, letting her embrace him tightly. "Why are you out and about? You'll get a sunburn if you stay out in the sun too long." A caring tone of an elder brother was what he used. Well, it was always the tone he had used to Yuki since he cherished her so much.

"Nii-sama, don't worry about that." She smiled. "A little sunlight can't hurt me."

"Heh. You've grown up Yuki."

"Hey! What does that mean..." Yuki pulled away from the embrace, pouted, and Kaname just smiled even more. He knew that what he said would make her react like that. He always found it adorable. "Nii-sama, mother asked me to tell you something."

"What may that be?"


"What?!" Zero exclaimed in shock at what his mother had said. He rarely reacts like this to the previous things she said but this completely caught him off-guard. Just awhile ago he was having a moment with his dear brother and now he was wide eyed because of what his mother told them. "The Vampire Royalty are coming to visit today?!" Currently, the twins and their mother were out in the corridors of the palace since the library where they were once in did not permit any talking.

"Yes dear." Queen Kiryu said, tucking a stray strand of long silver hair behind her ear. She did not expect her son to react this way but well, considering his discomfort towards vampires due to childhood experiences, it was to be one of the given choices.

"Why on such a short notice, mother?" Ichiru intervened since he stayed the most silent because he just listened. To be honest, he was actually excited to have visitors. He never stepped out of his room much when people visit their palace because he was always too weak to even hurt a fly. At least now he felt more energetic. Now, he'll be able to assist his dear brother with the guests. Now I won't feel so useless.

"They've been in truce with is for many years Zero, Ichiru. It's been 16 years since we last saw the Vampire King and Queen. Both of you were still infants that time and so was their eldest son. Now that both of you have grown up to almost claim the throne, we must at least establish a sense of trust in each other. Specifically you and Kaname."

"Kaname?" Zero asked at the sudden pronunciation of another name.

"Kaname's the son I've been talking about."

"Oh great..."


"I see. Alright, I'm going to start packing some necessities that I'll be taking." Kaname said before he stood from where he sat, patted Yuki on the head while saying a brief thank you for the information, and left to go to his room to do what he just said, pack.

As he walked swiftly to his quarters, he thought back to what his younger sister told him. A message from his mother was something he always gets from Yuki. That would just mean that his mother was too busy to even tell him herself. Oh mother... soon... I'll give you the leisure time you never get like me.

His parents were busy people and he himself was as well. Yuki had said to him earlier that he would pack and go to the Vampire Hunter kingdom before them. He won't complain about that since he knew they will follow eventually. He had remembered that his father said to establish trust with the other kingdom's heirs like how Haruka and Juri did with King and Queen Kiryu. I guess it's like I was given time off my duty as the prince to accomplish a mission? Hah. I don't feel so relieved of this so called "small break".

Arriving at his room, he looked over at its simple display. It wasn't something expected to be for a blue blood pure blood. (:3) But, Kaname always thought that simplicity was beauty. There wasn't anything extravagant in the room save for the fire place and chandelier at the ceiling's center. He walked further into his room and unbuttoned a few buttons of his hot dress shirt. He was supposed to look over some stuff regarding the royal barracks but of course he won't be able to because he's going to the Kingdom of Vampire Hunters.

Sigh.. I guess I better start with getting a bag to put some clothes in.


"I can't believe this." Zero walked back and forth with a troubled look on his features. Ichiru just sat on his bed and watched his brother pace restlessly, pouting at the troubled aura the silverette was giving off. "A family of vampires are coming here today. What do I do?"

"Zero.." Ichiru called out but it wasn't enough to catch his older brother's attention. Zero was still pacing around like crazy. "Zero!"

"W-what is it, Ichiru?" Zero suddenly snapped his head to the direction where he heard his younger brother call out to him. He had stopped dead in his tracks because when things come down to Ichiru, he would give all his attention to him.

"Zero, come sit with me." Ichiru patted the empty space of the bed beside him, and Zero sat down there.

"Is something wrong Ichiru? Does your legs hurt?" In came the usual worried questions of the older twin and Ichiru sighed.

"Does it always mean I'm in pain whenever I call you?" Ichiru gave a sad smile and Zero felt stupid right then and there.

"O-of course not- It's just- I care for you Ichiru. You know that." The older silverette hadn't expected for his over worrisome attitude towards his brother to have that kind of impression on Ichiru.

"Haha... I know." Ichiru leaned onto his brother's shoulder. "Zero."

"Yes?"

"You'll be fine. I'll be there for you this time." Ichiru reassured, giving Zero a small loving smile. To this, the said silverette who was distressed before relaxed and grew soft. Only his brother can make him this way.

"Thanks Ichiru."

On the other hand, the Vampire Prince obliges himself to make good relations with the Vampire hunter heir. What will become of their first meeting?

Stay tuned for the next chapter and don't forget to REVIEW.
