AN: This is my first story in fanfiction. So as usual creative criticism is welcomed. And please don't flame for I am still a beginner in writing. And that English is not my mother tongue.

Disclaimer: Vampire Knight is not mine, it belongs to Matsuri Hino. But I wish that Kaname and Zero were mine hehe…😊

Prologue:

It was just your typical night at the Kiryu household. Rain poured endlessly outside as the couple inside ate their dinner silently,

A handsome man that looks to be in his mid-thirties with hair like mercury and cerulean eyes gaze worriedly at his pretty wife that had striking auburn hair and soft lilac eyes.

"Stop staring." The woman chastised with a deadpan voice. A chuckle was heard from the man because of his wife's observation.

"Sorry Ichika, I can't help it." Kia look at him and frowned. "Why?"

"I-, I'm worried." He revealed, his smiling face turn into anguish, "Damn the Association for their beliefs!"

Ichika quickly stood and put a reassuring hand on his shoulder, "I know, I know. Reo."

Reo gaze at his wife's hand on his shoulder and sigh. "I must have look weak for you to comfort me." He joked yet the dread on his family's safety was clear in his eyes.

Seeing this, Ichika took hold of Reo's face and kissed him lovingly on his lips. "You are far stronger than any man I've ever known don't ever doubt that." She proclaimed, directly looking at his eyes.

With another sigh of content, he took one of his wife's hand then kiss its wrist, cerulean eyes meeting soft lilac ones. "Oh Ichika, what would I ever do if you're not here."

"You would be stuck on a hollow state, silly husband." She jested, a smile on her face. The moment ended for them once they soft footsteps that broke them apart and look at the pair of cute intruders.

It was none other than their own children both in their sleepwear and absolutely a combination of the couple.

"Hello, boys." Reo greeted.

"Can't sleep?" Ichika asked.

Twin pair of amethyst eyes look at them the difference would be the former is confident while the latter is shy and wary.

"I couldn't sleep." The younger twin stated his hand intertwined with the older twin.

"I wanted to make him calm down but- "said the older twin looking at his younger twin.

"I see, want me to make some milk then? It's the least I can do since we are sometimes not around." Ichika asked with a smile. To which the older twin merely shook his head as a form of answer.

"No need, okaa-san . I'll be the one to do it." Said the older twin tugging at his younger brother's hand as he guides his twin to a seat in the dining room." Just sit there, Ichiru don't stress yourself, onii-san will be right back with the milk." The elder twin requested with a smile.

"Hai, onii-san" Ichiru agreed with a smile as he took a seat and watch as his older twin brother goes to kitchen.

Ichika sighed. "Can't he depend on me sometimes? He's starting to make me feel useless." She complained to which Reo and Ichiru laugh at her sentiments. She then glared at her husband." I blame you, stubbornness is clearly on your family's side."

Reo only grinned at his wife's antics. Ichiru chuckled then revealed to his mother. "Okaa-san, onii-san doesn't want to bother you cause the two have been going on and on to your hunter missions and for him it is already a burden that we interrupted your dinner date." Ichiru said with a teasing tone that made his mother blushed.

Ichika pipe her blush down and gaze at where her elder son went. "He's always putting us first instead of himself." Reo could only nod at what his wife said.

"Oh!" Ichiru exclaimed, that got the adult's attention.

"What is it?" Ichika stated worry in her eyes.

"Where does it hurt, do we need to take you to the clinic?" Reo asked, panic clearly in his voice.

"No, okaa-san and otou-san. I just remembered something." Ichiru said looking at his parents. "While me and onii-san was at school I overheard one of the kids call his sister as onee-chan, why can't I?"

Both Reo and Ichika look at each other having what it looks like a silent agreement, then with a nod to each other they faced the questioning gaze of Ichiru.

"Because Zero is a boy, Ichiru. Remember that, Zero is a boy and always will be a boy." Ichika said with a smile yet with sadness in her eyes.

Let's just say after that answer Ichiru never asked again. And that the Kiryus never knew that night was the last day that they would have a normal life. Because the next year came the missions and misinterpret words that cause Ichiru to be envious and feel unloved that started what made the Kiryus' household become nothing but just a memory of the past and the nearby field of snow be covered in hunter's blood.
