OK, so when you read the beginning of this you will probably be very confused but, don't worry I know what I'm doing so don't get too sad. That's as much of a spoiler as your getting BTW.
It's been a long 3,000 years Rido had done what he dreamed about and so had I. Rido's dream was cars he wanted to create the best car he could think of he wanted everyone to want one of his cars. I wanted to make my own fashion line, I wanted everyone to be wearing my clothes. So, for about 100 years we both went into a kind of seclusion. We didn't see each other in that time and just made when we came out and had our shops opened everything was great. Everyone wanted one and we were still the top of the world.
900 years later and I was so angry I wanted to kill someone. I can still remember the words I heard.
Flashback
Rido and I had forgotten a condom so many times but, I was never pregnant. So, we went to a doctor so he could tell us if something was wrong. What he said just made it worse.
"We're sorry Mr. and Mrs. Kuran but, there is nothing medically wrong with either of you. But, for some reason you can't have kids."
For about 20 years I was depressed. I screamed, I cried, I raged at the world but, I knew nothing could fix it. Eventually I got over it. I would always remember it but, Rido's promise calmed me down I still remember what he said.
"Reika, don't worry we have an eternity if you want kids we can adopt. Who would dare refuse us. I don't want kids if your not their mother so stop worrying."
Flashback End
We got over it together because, just like he said I didn't want kids if he wasn't the father.
But, it's not like I was sad. I just hated the choice being taken away from me. If I really wanted a kid I would've been depressed much longer than a measly 20 years we have an entire eternity to a human that's less than a week. I still pass mothers with their children every day and I don't feel angry or jealous. I pass orphanages and I don't have the need to go in and adopt a kid.
Juri on the other hand. Without Rido to chase after her my sister led Haruka on. She made him chase her he became somewhat of a laughingstock to all pure bloods. Because, what pure blood should have to chase after his fiance? I didn't exactly like her in the story but, I absolutely hate her now.
Right now Rido and I are waiting for the news of their first child. I of course, know that they are going to have a boy but, I still wait. We came to their mansion to wait on the news of the child.
After Rido and I got married we moved out of our parents home into one of our own estates. Our siblings follow our example. Right now Rido, me, our parents, and Haruka are waiting in the siting room Haruka and Juri's home.
Of course, Rido had confided in me his plan to use their child to awaken the ancestor but, he did tell me he didn't want the kid to die. When he found out we couldn't have kids he saw the importance of them and didn't want to race away our siblings child.
So, I studied the ritual and found a way for everyone to be happy. The ritual actually does need the blood of a newborn Koran but, the child doesn't have to die.
While I was thinking about that a maid ran in shouting, "the lady had a son." Of course that derailed my train of thought but, just like everyone else I get up to go and see the child.
Instead of paying attention to him being a boy like everyone else. Or listening to our parents make subtle jabs about us not having kids, Juri 'innocently' saying he could be heir, or Rido defending saying we're still alive and we don't need the next generations heir yet.
I just stare at him. I though maybe I should feel jealousy because, I can't have kids. But, yet again I feel nothing and all I think is, 'maybe I don't want kids.'
We had left Haruka and Juri's house in a awful mood because, our parents kept implying that we needed kids. While Juri kept 'innocently' saying that her son could become the heir for the next generation.
In a pureblood household there needs to be an heir and heiress every generation. The heiress can be chosen at any time she can just be born. However, the heir needs to be chosen within a year that the first male is born. Usually the first choice is the child of teh first heir or heiress if they marry both, as long as they have him first or within a year of the first boy being born.
It's why even when we were kidnapped our parents couldn't name Haruka as the heir because, Rido was not confirmed dead and it had been over a year since he had been born.
It's been three weeks after that one disastrous visit we came to Haruka and Juri's home and practically kidnapped their child. Right now we are in the place to awaken the ancestor.
As we give him the blood of the child we can see he is starting to awaken. It doesn't seem like my brother is paying attention so, I take the baby back and wrap up his cut. While I was not very attached to the child I didn't want him to die.
As Kaname's body slowly changes to regress into a baby's body before I can truly get a look at it Haruka and Juri barge in. Before we can even explain they yuck their child back to check if he is alive.
"Thank God," Haruka says when he hears a pulse. Then he turns on us and asks, "What the fuck were you doing?"
Before I could think of anything Rido said, "We were awakening the ancestor brother."
However, Haruka wasn't OK with that, "What if you had hurt my son? What would you do then?"
Rido in his usually uncaring, condescending manner simply said, "Then it would be fate and such a sad one at that, To die so young."
When it looked like they were about to fight I steeped in, "Haruka, Juri," I addressed both of them, "I took all the steps of that spell to make sure your son would be alive."
As I explain to them everything that happened and the ancestor that awakened.
The next person to speak is Juri, "Well since you used our son to awaken him then he's ours obviously."
When she said it like that it kind of pissed me off but, I didn't exactly want to take care of a kid anyway. However when she picked him up and was about to claim him(vampire parents have to claim a child as theirs to be their father and mother even ones that they gave birth to). When his eyes looked at me something in me snapped. The next words I said sealed fate Rido, mine, and the ancestors.
"Mine," I growled, and before I was fully conscious of what I was doing I was ripping the ancestor away from her and cradling him to my chest.
We all froze. I don't really know why they froze but, I know why I did. Just now I felt it I was jealous. I didn't care about other children but, this one was mine. I knew as soon as I looked into his eyes from over her shoulder he was mine.
Before anything can happen our parents barge and demand an explanation. We oblige because, in the end they are still the heads of the Kuran household.
They look fairly surprised but, surprisingly my mother says what we needed to hear. "You know the traditions when two people want to claim you have to fight for it."
That is how I got here five hours later in the Kuran family arena across from my sister about to fight for the right of what I know deep in my soul is 'Mine.'
After we both assure we are ready our mother simply says, "Start."
I don't move an inch and wait for Juri to come at me. I know not to underestimate my opponents that stuff could get me significantly hurt. While this isn't a death match and you can give up at any time. We even have normal weapons not ones that can hurt a vampire but, a vampire especially a pureblood can hurt another very easily. To have someone give up we have to press the weapon to the throat or the heart.
Like I predicted Juri didn't wait she came straight at me with her sword raised high above her head. It was a stupid mistake that's the stance of an executioner not someone fighting someone who can move. I haven't even drawn my sword yet(it's a crude imitation of my real anti-vampire katana and not even a quarter as dangerous).
All of us seeing as we were heirs to the throne got training. However, while Rido and I implemented into real life and put our training into our reflexes and bled them for real life situations. Our siblings only know how to fight in textbook stances.
So, when she raised he sword I simply sidestepped it, while it only missed me by a millimeter it obviously pissed her off because, I didn't make a big show of blocking or dodging like textbook stances. So, when she came to me again she was sloppy and unstable on her feet.
However, even though she fought like that she was a vampire so, I couldn't win that easily. After three times of me simply side stepping her sloppy hits. I see she's angry and anger clouds judgement. Seeing as I have honor I decided to at least give her the sword defeat. She should be honored I have enemies that have never even seen a flash of any sword in my hand.
As I draw my sword she just seems to get angrier because, she seems to just realized I just drew it. In vampire culture drawing your sword means you get serious which means that through this entire fight before this moment I wasn't. What she doesn't know is if I didn't actually want the ancestor I would just play with her until I get bored.
However, even just messing with her head took a lot out of me because, all I'm thinking is 'he's mine how dare she try to take what's mine.' She raises her sword above her head again to bring it down. This time however, when I side step it I go straight for her throat. By the time she realizes the point of my blade is at her throat and I know from the way she looks wide eyed she knows I could've killed her.
Before my inner monster can over power me because, all I can hear are the voices.
'Kill Her'
'She's a threat'
'She tries to steal from us'
'Just a tiny push and you can end it all'
My mother(the referee) thankfully calls me the winner before the voices can get to me. So, I go back to the side where Rido is waiting with my real sword. Instead of this cheap imitation.
I don't know what drew me in but, I don't even look at Rido I just actually rip the ancestor away from the maid holding him and before I can even think about it I'm claiming him seeing as Rido is bonded to me he became him Sire. As Rido's holds me and I hold who is actually our child now all I can think is this is it 'My Family'.

So guys what do you think?
Oh and do you have a name for the kid, something with an R preferably because, of the tradition of R names they have?
The reason Kaname wouldn't work is because, he was named that because, they wanted him to replace their dead son but, that's not his actual name. So, give me some options please. Preferably more than one please.
I have something an option anyway if no one does though but, I'd like some more options so I can choose.
Oh, and introducing the voices that was kind of off the top of my head she just seemed kind of normal son't you think?
