Chapter 2

Emotional Pureblood Boys

Kaname was in a state of utter distress. He didn't know why he was so affected by the ungrateful ass hole's comments. It was like his rejection hurt. Kaname was about to say something when Aidou said the same thing.

Aidou," Kaname, are you okay?"

Kaname smiled at them. Both the boys were taken aback. It was such a sad smile. For a moment, they both wanted to slap Zero for making Kaname like this. It was true Kaname didn't interact with people much but this doesn't give anyone the right to hurt such a kind person.

Aidou," I'll beat the hell out of him."

Kain," all the more reason for me to dislike him."

Kaname," no. He may not be feeling well, leave him be. So Hanabusa what gift you got for my dear Yuki."

Aidou was blushing. He was very excited to see Yuki even more than to see his mother.

Aidou," it's a secret. But I can tell you both its going to be a good dinner. I have booked a dinner for our family but mom and dad will be at a different table and me and my dear on another."

Aidou had a dreamy expression on his face, Kaname looked at him and started laughing. His mood was finally being lifted up. They arrived at the airport. Seems like Mrs Aidou and Yuki weren't waiting long. Aidou saw Yuki the short petite brunette with shoulder length hair and Aidou had arms open and ran toward Yuki.

Aidou," Yuki you have finally" he stopped. As he was running towards Yuki she had ran off and embraced Kaname then Kain. Yuki hugged Kaname again and said," I missed you Kaname and you too Kain. The studies were so hard, I was sometimes in danger of failing badly."

Aidou was left standing alone with arms open seemingly embracing wind. His mother was laughing at him. The passers-by were giggling seeing a boy with hands open. Aidou was embarrassed like hell. He went back to car without waiting for others. They followed him.

Yuki," Aidou nee what's the matter."

Aidou," I'll tell you the matter brat, I was coming to you and you left me hanging there like a freak."

Kaname and Kain were laughing from front seat. The adopted siblings continued to bicker.

At Cross Kaien's place.

Kaitou," hey a letter has come for you."

Cross," oh yeah, from whom."

Kaitou," from Haruka Kuran."

Cross stood up and snatched the letter from him. Kaitou stood with a weird expression which said what the heck old man.

Cross read its content and was immediately filled with warmth at the sight of his love's handwriting. Even his handwriting was so beautiful. Cross immediately sent Kaitou to go and get a good quality handmade paper with ornate designs. Kaitou left mumbling about really being adults and no shame, blushing like girls.

Cross ran through the contents. It was disturbing. When the hunters heard of supposed killing of Asato they weren't very bothered but he has to tell Haruka whatever he could to help. Cross went and checked the files. There were some reports of death of vampires, high nobles, usually once during a month, mostly during the full moon. It was said in sightings that it seemed like a vampire quarrel since victim was usually drained dry and his corpse was left behind.

The vampire council knew of this but were not very concerned since none of the families reported the cases. Cross was sure there was no connection between these deaths and recent murder but he still got the files scanned from his scanner and piled them up and placed in a folder. Cross had placed Haruka's letter on the glass table and had gone to fetch his treasure box where he kept his and Haruka's pictures. This letter was truly a treasure.

Kaitou came back with very bad temper since he had to go through every fucking shop to find the right paper. Cross wanted to write a letter of thanks to haruka. Kaitou dumped the blasted paper on sofa and went to drink some cold coffee. When he came back cross was nowhere around. He drank some coffee and switched on TV to watch some movie. Just his luck it was Godzilla coming. Oh Kaitou loved this film, in his haste to get his coffee he spilled it on table and the paper lying was drenched in it. Kaitou didn't bother seeing it and watched the film. Cross came happily with his treasure box and suddenly a horrific shriek came from house. Kaitou spilled his coffee over his pants and cursed the wretched old fool for making him wet his pants.

Suddenly Kaitou felt a bump on his head. Kaitou looked up and saw an old leather book in Cross's hands and his expression murderous.

Kaitou," what the hell are you doing you old fart, have you completely lost it?"

Cross," Kaitou if you don't want me to kill you just shut up and let me beat you."

Kaitou," what have I done?" He looked at Kaien and saw him crying.

Cross," you ruined it you stupid brat, my dear letter from Haruka and believe me you will pay big time for this. You will write the letter of forgiveness to Haruka as I say and you will do all the cleaning duties of house from now."

Kaitou was horrified. He started writing the letter as Cross said and Kaitou was inwardly cursing. He will never tell a living soul that he wrote something so embarrassing. Kaitou was blushing while writing and could only imagine what Juri will do. Kaitou then went out and was told by Cross to personally go to Kuran mansion with folders and letter and also to buy a big bouquet of flowers on way. Cross had barred himself in his room. He was utterly distraught. Even after giving Kaitou a black eye, two bumps on head still Cross was not satisfied. Yagari was laughing at Kaitou when he was asked to drive him to Kurans. Kaitou had used all possible abuses for Cross. He was fed up with the blasted love life of a well-known hunter.

Kaname was sitting and watching animal planet seeing lions and predators. He was very excited. The bell rang and Kaname went out. He saw Kaitou with a complete pissed off expression and Yagari smirking at Kaitou. Kaname was very surprised to see a very large bouquet of lilies and roses.

Kaname," well come in, what do we owe this pleasure?"

Juri suddenly walked in holding a bowl of vegetables and a knife and was horrified to see the hunters. Her eyes roamed to see the accursed Cross but he wasn't anywhere around. Haruka came after Juri and politely smiled at the hunters.

Kaitou," hello there Haruka San and please take this all and say I delivered everything when Cross talks to you. I am so outta here." As Kaitou was about to leave Juri stopped him. The three Kurans were watching Kaitou with pity since he was bruised.

Juri," are you alright child?"

Kaitou," I am fine. Thank you." He smiled and went outside.

Yagari," well this finishes our business here. "He nodded to Kurans and went off. Now Juri blasted.

Juri," Haruka what is the meaning of those freaky flowers and that rose tucked envelope."

Haruka," Juri its nothing."

Kaname picked up the letter and saw the envelope was covered with dried rose petals. Kaname raised his eyebrows and saw it. His mother was glowering looking at the cursed letter. Haruka was just smiling sheepishly. Kaname opened the letter and blushed real red after going through the contents of the letter. That man Kaname wondered where he learnt such romantic lines. He saw the exquisite handmade sheet which was a fine sheet yellowish in colour and the pen used for writing was bright red.

Juri," what's written in that blasted letter and why in blazes are you blushing Kaname, have you lost it?"

Kaname, "mother well I can't help it, it's what is written is making me embarrassed."

Juri threw a dirty glance at Haruka and said, "oh do read it, I very much want to hear what the hunter has written to his dear Haruka."

Haruka," Juri I really don't think."

Kaname opened the letter and started reading.

"Dear Haruka

Finally my eyes are smoothened and red colour of my lips returned. My hands holding this precious letter of yours. My face gleaming with extraordinary smile which only you can bring to enrich my beauty. So you do remember me even if it's because of some creep's death.

But to my dismay the day was cursed by the fallen angels when thou letter was tainted by an inexperienced, low life named Kaitou [remember Kaitou himself wrote this letter]. I can never express my sadness when your priceless letter written by your beautiful sculpted hands was turned to a sodden mass by an inanimate thing called coffee, which a freak called Kaitou was drinking and laughing at a blasted movie. I am so sorry this had to happen. It broke my heart to see the page in that state. Rest assured I will forever keep that page with me even though it's in a bad state.

My love for you will never lessen it will only remain same and strong till the end of time. Please I beg you forgive me for this insolence. The question to your answer is sent by me, I hope it will help you and cause your worry to fade from your gentle beautiful face so that you have your charming smile back which reciprocates mine. I'll see you soon.

Give my regards to your wife Juri and your

Cute kid Kaname.

From your faithful

Cross Kaien."

A loud crash was heard and Kaname and Haruka looked at Juri. The large bowl of vegetables was on floor and the knife was held by her as if it was a sword. She was beyond pissed.

Juri," Explain. What. Does. That. Mean."

Haruka, "it means nothing, ha ha it's his way of writing." Haruka was sweating and didn't know what to say. Juri snapped and was shouting at top of her voice.

Juri," beautiful he thinks of himself has he lost it, who in their right minds would call a creep like him wearing glasses good looking and what's with my love will remain till end of time."

Juri was in tears," Haruka whom do you love me or him?" She ran to her bedroom her dress flowing. Haruka got a look from Kaname saying I don't know anything. Kaname went to his room to read some manga. Kaname was absolutely sad. He had missed his favourite programme. The folder containing details what Haruka asked for was taken by Haruka and he told Kaname tomorrow they could see them.

Haruka went after his wife to woo her and make her happy. He didn't know why she took it seriously.

Next day in morning Aidou came bounding into Kaname's room and found it empty, he then went to back garden behind the house full of flowers and trees. Kaname was watering the plants in garden, Aidou saw him there.

Aidou," Kaname I need your help it's very important."

Kaname looked up and saw his friend. "Aidou what is it?"

Aidou," its Yuki birthday tomorrow I have prepared everything and its perfect. She'll love it Kaname. I need your help to give invitations at college."

Kaname," it's that time of year already hah. Yeah sure there is an hour left we'll go then."

Aidou, "sweet I'll call Kain as well."

Aidou went back and Kaname's mind wandered to that faithful birthday years ago of the silver haired boy. Kaname quickly snapped, he wasn't going to remember that bastard who treated him so coldly and is so loving towards everyone else.

Kaname and Aidou went to college. There at the gate was a commotion. Kaname had a feeling it had something to do with mister I am indifferent to Kaname [Zero]. Kaname was so very right. Zero and his fiancée were having a loud talk. Kain was standing behind and looking longingly at Ruca. Aidou and Kaname went to see and what they saw at closer had both of them clasping a hand to their mouths to stifle their laughter.

Zero was standing at one corner smirking with three girls and two boys by his side. The boy was tugging Zero's right hand. The two girls were tugging Zero's other hand fighting.

Zero," come on Ruca darling I know you are my fiancée, I am just helping them by picking them up from near station. I am too nice." He smiled at all of his fan club. Then Zero went to Ruca and kissed her full in lips. He did it to shut Ruca up.

Ruca," you never help me my dear Zero. I wait for you every day, you never come and every day I have to come with Kain."

Zero," oh I'll come for you as well then and thank Kain for helping you. You should treasure him. [Zero's thoughts Kain take Ruca and don't come back. she is annoying.]

Kaname and Aidou started laughing. It was way too funny. But Kaname wasn't that amused he wanted to slaughter that bitch Ruca and all others who were clinging to Zero. Zero is loved by him not by these fuckers. Shiki was throwing daggers at Zero since Rima was one of the girls. Zero's attention went to one particular voice and he knew it belonged to the beautiful angel with dark brown hair and red eyes: Kaname. Zero looked at Kaname and Kaname saw Zero. They looked at each other. Zero smirked at Kaname, then winked at him and left. Kaname looked at Zero and thought did that ass hole just smirked at me. What did that wink mean, he is a wretch. He had the nerve after their last fiasco and kissing bitches in front of him.

Ruca was in tears and Kain was consoling her. After sometime they all went inside. In break Aidou and Kaname went to where zero was usually. Kaname had absolutely refused but agreed after Aidou said they had to since he is Rido's son and his parents were good people, why he had a rotten personality they were left to wonder. They found Zero on a tree trunk eating a green apple. He didn't notice the two people standing there. Aidou observed Zero. Zero looked thin than usual and was looking different from what they saw two days back.

Aidou," oi Zero Kiryu come down for a second."

Zero saw Kaname and his eyes filled with warmth and mischief at seeing this guy who kept on invading his mind. Zero and Ichiru were arguing at home since Zero refused to eat food and whenever saw Sara his anger flared to 100 degrees. Honestly the hag was after their father. At day he has to deal with pretending to be freak then at night Shizuka's dream kept on coming. Zero was in distress.

Zero hopped down and looked at Kaname completely ignoring Aidou. Kaname saw his look and looked at some lone bird eating berries at another tree. Zero was checking out Kaname, he hadn't changed much. He was looking beautiful as usual. his beautiful brown hair, white as snow skin, thin seductive luscious lips which Zero wanted the first to kiss[Zero's wish comes true] ,tall slender, so beautiful, his red shining eyes which were so dangerous when angry but so innocent and hurt when Zero mocked him.

Aidou," Zero I am talking to you, please stop looking at my friend, he isn't one of your stupid admirers."

Zero," of course he isn't. [Zero thought he is much more, can never be compared]. So what you called me for Hana?"

Aidou," Hanabusa. Zero. It's my little sister well adopted sister's Yuuki's birthday tomorrow and my parents want you to come with your father and brother and yes your fiancée as well."

Zero was again smirking," oh and why would I come, I don't even know you."

Kaname," yeah you don't need to come stupid, we are the fools who even came to ask you and you know what we don't want an amnesiac person to come huh."

Kaname went away and Aidou was about to follow when he felt a tug at his shoulder and saw Zero smiling like a fox. Suddenly a hand was on Aidou's shirt collar and Zero's face was very close.

Zero," I will come don't tell him."

Aidou was a little shocked. "Him you mean Kaname?"

Zero nodded and left. Aidou was left to ponder at the strange demand of Kiryu.

At Kiryu mansion at night.

Mary was Kiryu's maid and was talking to Rido who was sitting with Miss Sara who had involuntarily came with him at home. She was Rido's secretory and was super annoying. Rido was extremely uncomfortable with her. He got up and called Mary along to get some drink for Sara so she will get out fast.

Mary," lord Rido I wish to share something to you."

Rido," yeah sure tell."

Mary," it's my daughter she gave birth to a boy."

Rido," that's good to hear. Congratulations." he smiled.

After this Rido went to check on some files and Mary went to take drinks to Sara.

Sara," ah hello Mary, how have you been doing, since you left my house a long time back. Yes be careful. You must have heard of Asato's death. He was a dear friend of mine but a little creepy. These days are dangerous...

Mary," yes but I think he deserved it."

Sara," you are right." she said in a carefree voice. Mary and Sara laughed at this.

At Yuki's party, Yuki was dressed in a dark blue dress which looked good on her. Aidou was dressed in a similar dark blue suit. Kaname was standing next to Aidou looking absolutely stunning and gorgeous with a white trench coat and white pants. They were standing with each other with Aidou looking sad since Kaname and Yuuki were chatting happily. Akatsuki was looking at door to see Zero and Ruca. He knew Zero wouldn't talk to her.

Rido walked in with a blonde hag called Sara since she was persistent to come, Rido was giving a foul aura as he was annoyed at the witch's antics. Zero came smiling at everyone wearing a black suit complete with a flower [red rose] in his pocket and looking very handsome enough to catch eyes of all young women and men. People had learned Kaname was aloof and gave aura leave me alone so they didn't bother with him and Aidou. Akatsuki was asked to dance seven times but he refused all the times.

Zero was immediately greeted by everyone. Ruca was thrown to the floor and Zero was again swept by everyone. Akatsuki came and helped Ruca and they sat at a table trying to find Zero. Zero had shoved off the crowd since he was not in the mood to see anyone. His mind wandered to his Kaname and his reaction.

Takuma was laughing with Shiki since the same happened at his party. Ichiru and Maria joined them and they started chatting. All young hunter and vampires both genders were making a group around a famous F 1 driver Rick who was number one in the world at the moment. He was very good looking and a very high noble and a strong competitor and his build up was strong as well.

Kaname felt eyes on him and saw at the bar corner a beautiful silverette sitting and eyeing him. Kaname was beyond shocked. What was Zero doing here. Didn't he refuse to come? Zero saw Kaname and was a little surprised. Kaname looked so beautiful it was unearthly. The white clothing hung close to his body. He looked so slender. Zero smiled at Kaname then got a sly grin. He winked at Kaname then ordered a drink. Kaname realised he was blushing. What was about Zero that drew Kaname? Kaname saw Zero: his silver hair were very unique, Kaname again wanted to touch them , they looked so soft, his sexy black suit hung close to his lithe, slender, curvy body.

Kaname realised why some females also didn't like him, males were attracted to him. His pale white skin in perfect contrast with his suit and that sly grin ,beautiful purple eyes which had so many mysteries in them, his sweet delicious lips which were rosy and inviting and had kissed that bitch and who knows who else. Kaname got angry at this and the glass broke in front of him. He saw his own reflection in broken shards, he was surprised his eyes were angry red, was he so jealous?

Aidou," Zero came Kaname look ha ha ha." Aidou was laughing stupidly.

Kaname," why, didn't he refuse?" Kaname's voice was still angry, cracking, he was absolutely ticked at the recent event. He controlled himself.

Aidou had vanished after hearing the question and was talking to Yuki. Suddenly Mrs Aidou came with Mr Aidou and the celebrations began. Yuuki cut the cake and everyone sang happy birthday. Yuuki cut a small piece out of a very large elaborate 5 story cake and moved. Aidou was smiling bashfully as Yuuki came to him, he opened his mouth and saw Yuki walk over him to Kaname and told him to eat. Kaname took the piece from her and ate it. He then kissed Yuuki on her forehead and gave her a large package of dresses and pirates of Caribbean deluxe edition movie set.

Yuuki," thanks so much Kaname nii. You are wonderful."

Kaname," my pleasure sweet Yuuki. My god bless you happy birthday." Kaname smiled and whispered something in her ear. Yuuki blushed and said she'll try nii Sama. Kaname said he will help her.

What Kaname said," Yuki Aidou really loves you please don't hurt him. He worked very hard."

What they were not aware was Zero was glowering at Yuuki and throwing daggers at Yuuki. He wanted to take Kaname away from that girl, Kaname had kissed her. His Kaname. Kaname the aloof, irritated person had kissed that little girl. Who was this Yuuki wench? Zero hated the girl. He himself was surprised for what he felt.

Aidou was left standing again and some people were laughing at him openly, his parents were giggling. Aidou was so very sad he could dive off a cliff. Ruca was beyond angry she was crying she had spotted Zero and followed his looks. She saw three people Kaname, Yuuki and Aidou. She didn't know who Zero's affection was since. She settled on Aidou since the two brunettes were for each other it seemed to her. She was cursing Blondie. Akatsuki was trying to get her attention and was hurt she didn't even bother talking to him.

After eating all people started dancing. Kaname told Yuuki something. She complied. Yuki, Kaname, Aidou, Shiki, Takuma, Seiren were sitting at same table. They were eating and drinking. Suddenly they saw many couples dancing. Takuma took Shiki. It was normal. Seiren went to the crowd who was lining for dance with rick.

Aidou," Yuuki may I have your hand for the dance."

Yuuki smiled at Aidou with eyes full of love," yes sure it will be my pleasure."

Aidou Hanabusa was the happiest person. He quickly looked at Kaname who gave him a nod and smiled slyly which meant go for it.

Akatsuki," please Ruca dance with me it's a friendly dance."

Ruca liked Akatsuki that's why she didn't want to be near him, he was a good friend, because then Zero was being ignored. She said no but later complied and they were dancing. Zero looked at them and was happy. Good that's what Zero thought.

Zero looked at Kaname and saw him looking at his parents. He followed his gaze and saw he was looking at his parents Haruka and Juri who were standing with hunter cross and his friends Yagari and Kaitou. The lady was looking annoyed and was throwing filthy looks at Cross. Zero got up and went to sit by Kaname. Kaname noticed this and hmphed and looked away. He was still angry that he was absolutely possessive over Zero who was treating him like some freak.

Zero," come on you are still not angry are you, I don't remember okay, I am sorry I was rude." Zero smiled gently.

Kaname felt really happy, all his irritation went off. He looked at Zero so innocently and lovingly Zero forgot to breathe for a second.

Zero: dammit, this look it will make me do him one day.

Kaname," well fine. So why are you sitting alone where is your fan club today?"

Zero," oh didn't feel like it, you are not happy I am talking to you." Zero was still not sure but he wanted Kaname to know him, understand him, he just wanted Kaname's attention.

Kaname," oh. Well yeah but I would be happy if you didn't gave me that fake smile Zero. Give me the smile you once gave me on your birthday." Zero blushed and looked away saying I don't know what you are saying.

Later Zero was getting agitated and wanted to touch Kaname. He was so beautiful. He went to Kaname and sat on one knee and grabbed his hand and kissed those long fingers. Kaname was so soft, fragile, as if one knock could break him. Kaname blushed and drew his hand away. Zero took out his rose and gave it to Kaname.

Zero," this is for you. Accept it as a gesture of forgiveness for what I did that day."

Kaname was getting redder by the second. It was the first time he was touched like that. He himself only kissed Yuuki on forehead or Aidou on forehead seldom. He stopped after Aidou got 12 years old when he used to cry if Yuki ignored him. He himself was never kissed by anyone except for Haruka and Juri who loved their little angel Kaname.

Kaname," Zero I can't you shouldn't."

Zero," why not, you want it from that girl whom you kissed right now, is that it but she loves Aidou can't you see."

Zero was real angry and his voice got rough.

Kaname,"eh, what are you talking about, she is like my sister. She is Aidou's love."

Zero didn't know the truth he just randomly said in jealousy and found the great piece of news. They don't like each other. Excellent. I will have him. Kaname is mine. Eh wait wait what the hell, who am I saying is mine. Man what is he doing to me?

Zero, "please take this."

He then ran away and disappeared with Ichiru, Maria and Takuma.

Kaname was stunned and happy. He kissed the rose inhaling its unique fresh scent and liveliness and said," I accept Zero." Kaname liked the way Zero got jealous of Yuki and Aidou.

The party was over. It was at midnight that sounds of struggling was heard. Rick was strolling on forest road when rick was pounded into a tree and someone drank his blood. He was left as a drained corpse. The beautiful full moon was looking at the scene which no one saw.

Next day Haruka was reading the daily mail again when his eyes went wide. The clipping said Rick the famous F 1 driver who won Grand Prix two days back was found dead yesterday in forest. His body was drained of blood and there was no shock on his face only slight smile but there were traces of struggle seen. It was the same as rest of the bodies of high vampires found in past year which had a smile on their faces but no shock or horror. There were signs of struggle though.

Kaname came down with a happy expression on his face remembering zero from yesterday.

Haruka," Kaname I think we should discuss this. You saw Rick yesterday right, he is dead."

Kaname was shocked," what, father I mean how so sudden?"

Haruka," I don't know must be some jealous F 1 driver who wanted him out of picture. Kaname I think we should discuss what Cross sent us, the folder is there on my table."

Kaname," got it daddy. Later we'll see to it."

Kaname and Aidou went to college. Aidou was jumping, Yuuki had kissed him on the cheek as a thanks. Aidou was so happy. Kaname was glad they were progressing. Kaname had put his own rose in a water glass to preserve it longer. They attended their classes. Kaname was sitting on his favourite spot when someone hugged him from behind. Kaname was scared and hit his elbow to whomever it was. How dare them whoever they were.

Zero," ow that hurt Kaname, why'd you do that."

Kaname turned around and saw Zero clutching his stomach. So it was Zero only.

Kaname, "oh sorry, I didn't realised it was you. Sorry."

Zero," it's cool so I was right you like this place huh."

Kaname, "yeah I do, so you need anything."

Zero stepped closer to Kaname and looked at his face. He knew what he felt very well now however much he denied it and said it was only his mother, father and Ichiru he cared for he couldn't. He loved Kaname. His eyes, his face, his nature, his way of talking, he wanted Kaname to be his only. Most of all he loved Kaname because he loved Zero for who he was really, he didn't need to pretend, he was free with him just like Kaname was.

Zero," I wanted to see your face."

Kaname," Zero if you are doing this for fun then I suggest you leave, to how many people you said this and kissed them."

Zero," well a lot of them I say this."

Zero suddenly realised what he said and had a horrified expression on his face. Kaname looked so hurt, his eyes were again looking as if a rose was crushed and left alone. He wasn't like Zero. Kaname ran away from that place. Zero was again cursing his stupid self. Why didn't he said he never meant any of those words he told others and okay well he did kiss Ruca a lot but it was out of her noisy persistence.

Zero was reduced to tears. He forgot that Kaname had seen Zero with his damned fan club and Ruca. Again he hurt Kaname.

Zero," why, why me, the one I love is always always." Zero fell on the garden with tears pouring down.

Aidou was playing with Shiki. Shiki was confiding in Aidou maybe he never loved Rima after all and the one he loves may not ever realised it because he is stupid. Aidou tried to find who that is but Shiki would not tell.

At night

Mary had gone to forest to gather a rare herb which only grew at night for her grandson, suddenly she was hit by something. She looked back and was roughly pushed against a tree. Mary was shouting and screaming then someone roughly grabbed her mouth and paralyzed her by making her drink poison. Her eyeballs were coming out, she was rooted to the same spot. Then long fingers drew out a whip and slashed her.

Her scream was gone. Again the whip was slashed at her, on her back, on her legs, on her feet. There was blood splattered everywhere on surrounding sakura [cherry blossoms] trees which seemed to be living up to their legend. She was slapped with long nails across her face. She was kicked and after more beating the same hand with long nails ripped out her heart and crushed it in front of her. Then someone laughed and everything was silent. The bloody cherry blossoms were witness again to a brutal kill.

Aidou read the newspaper and splashed the juice all over the table. The paper said: another killing shakes up people. A maid by name of Mary was killed in southern forest. Her heart was missing and she was tortured before death by a whip and poisoned which is a deadly poison which can render anyone paralysed within seconds. The place was a bloody mess, the surrounding cherry blossoms were a witness to this scene just like the last time Asato Ichjou was killed. Condolences are offered to the family.

Yuuki came running and saw Aidou.

Yuuki," what what happened?"

Aidou immediately hugged Yuki.

"Yuuki you will not go outside at all, nowhere near forests nowhere."

Yuuki," okay but what." she was silenced as Aidou kissed her hair. Aidou's thoughts he will not allow anyone to harm Yuuki. He will tell his parents and Kurans also to be careful and get their shopping done in day time at all cost. He will make Kaname promise no more nature walk. Hell with them.

Rido was worried since two days Mary had not come. He went to Ichiru's room and decided to ask him. Zero and Ichiru were playing with pillows. Rido smiled seeing this scene. Rido thought how I wish Shizuka was with me. Shizuka why did you leave me. I loved you more than anyone can love someone. You are my everything and will always be. A tear slid down his face. He saw today's paper lying down and went to grab it.

Ichiru," hey daddy what's up."

Zero," hello daddy and good morning."

Rido," good morning my sweeties. So Ichiru did Mary call at home, why isn't she coming."

Both the twins shook their heads.

Rido suddenly remembered something," Ichiru where did you go yesterday night, you weren't in your room when I came to check."

Ichiru just shrugged," no I was here on couch didn't you see me."

Rido was sure he wasn't anywhere but decided to let go." okay well let me join you."

The three members of family played happily.

Sara was reading the newspaper and choked on her drink and vomited all out. She saw the news of death of Mary. She was just left thinking who is killing these people. Her mind started racing in all directions why these two, who could be doing this. This is not good at all.

Author's note

Rick is my own character. Purely fictitious.

The chap's title is for Zero and Kaname.

I would appreciate if you review, if you liked. No flames.

Cherry blossoms legend is that the colour of blossoms is pink

Because of the dead bodies blood they absorbed. I saw this in

X/1999 so I took this from there.
