Author's Note: Hey guys, I'm back and here's the chapter you've been waiting for. I need to explain a couple of things before I even continue. In the anime of Vampire Knight, Juuri gives up her life to make Yuuki a human. I'm not adding that part. In this story, there are two ways to make a pureblood human (you will understand later in the story though.)
Anyway, shout-out time! First, UchihaBlossom15 your review made me cry & I was also seriously happy for the entire day. Thank you for your reviews, they brighten up my day. I never knew someone could be so nice. Also much love to Shisakurasinger and the guest who reviewed. –Hands you a red velvet cupcake- Anyway, here is chapter 9 of Secret Past!
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or Naruto. If I did I would change plethora things and add many things. Oh, the possibilities…
Chapter 9: Goodbye Part II
Almost everyone has something that is considered beautiful to them. For a simple weak human, it could be something trivial and stupid. If anyone had asked Rido Kuran what he considered beautiful in his twisted world, he would say nothing and laugh in their pitiful faces. But after giving it some thought, he guessed that he did consider some things to be beautiful.
Like snow for example. It was so peaceful, so white and pure. Snow could make anyone's day bright up in an instant. Snow could make little children happy and content by having playful snowball fights on a cold afternoon, and because of this, regular people considered this beyond beautiful. But he didn't.
The only reason why he even considered snow to be beautiful was because of the pain it caused. People do not consider the fact that snow can be so deadly, so horrid,and so cold.
He also thought that snow looked its best when there was blood splattered all of over it.
He was used to this horrific site though, because he had caused it one hundred percent of the time. He felt no remorse for the people he killed. In fact he could care less.
So here he was, standing in front of the Kuran Mansion with about thirty dead bodies around him. Each one of the weak guards tried to fight him off, but eventually they were killed and their faces soon became unrecognizable.
Soon, he was faced with about fifteen more human guards, each one of them throwing countless punches and kicks. Although, he could merely just snap his fingers to have them die he wanted to see the fear in their faces. He wanted them to beg for their pitiful lives, so he decides to use his blood whip.
He smiled cruelly as one of the guards head were severed by his whip. Blood covered his entire body as he slowly licked the red liquid off his hands. The other human guards had started to tremble in front of him. 'Excellent' he thought. Although, he did not mind killing innocent humans, he was getting rather bored of it.
'How long do they plan to take? Waiting & Hiding won't change or solve anything. In fact, my hands are shaking from anticipation to see them and their new daughter.'
Although, he was growing bored he would wait for them to make the first move. He had a well thought out plan and he would be damned if his dear siblings got in the way of that.
'Soon, I'll get what I want.'
All three purebloods heard the rather loud screams of the guards and because of that Haruhi had woken up. They were deciding what to do next, since Rido came when they had least expected it.
"Someone has to be here to watch Haruhi while we fight." Haruka said as he was already getting out his anti-vampire sword. Before he could get another sentence in, Kaname cut him off.
"I'll do it Otou-san."Everyone had looked at the young pureblood in shock. He was one of the people who had wanted to slaughter Rido more than anyone and he was giving up the opportunity to do it?
"The whole point of even fighting Rido was to protect Haruhi, so I'll gladly do it. She means more to me then my whole life." Kaname exclaimed. Juuri, who was looking at Kaname with affection, admired his determination and for the first time decided to speak.
"I'll stay with you then." Juuri announced and before the others could voice their thoughts she had said to Kaname, "I'll be your back-up if something happens."
The voices outside were getting louder and louder by the minute. Haruka and Kaien both needed to go before Rido killed anymore guards.
"Are you sure this is want you want to do? I know how much you wanted to get your revenge on him." Haruka said and Juuri responded "I'm positive." She gave him a quick kiss, silently telling him to be careful and to come back alive. She had also given Kaien a hug and a silent thank you.
Before anyone else could speak, they heard a loud crash and bang and that's when they smelt it. The tremendous amount of blood coming from outside the Kuran mansion was overwhelming.
"Go" Kaname had said and in a second Haruka and Kaien vanished.
Rido could sense their presence coming closer to him. 'Good.' He thought. He was getting his blood whips ready. As he was about to attack another guard out of boredom, he was face to face with his younger brother and the president of the Hunter's Association.
Rido had quickly scanned his brother to see if he had changed the past thousand years and after he felt satisfied with his observation he spoke.
"Well, isn't this a surprise! You finally decided to make an appearance in this horror show my little brother." You could clearly see the disgust in Haruka's eyes as Rido said brother.
"After all the terrible things you have done these past years, I sure as hell do not consider you my brother at all."
Rido sneered at his comment but decided to direct his anger at the vampire hunter beside him. "It's funny how low you stooped now, since you need to ask this thrash for help, how pitiful."
Kaien, who had decided to speak, said "Words are useless, unless you got the skills to back it up." Rido gave him a cold look but then smiled at him cruelly. "Your right. Shall we begin this horror show?"
He did not give either of the men a chance to respond as he quickly disappeared. Kaien and Haruka both got in there stances as they tried to detect his presence. Before they could turn their heads, Kaien felt a hard blow come to contact with his cheek while he was knocked back 5 ft. He felt all the power that was behind that punch and he had trouble standing up after that. He saw the tiny drops of blood come out from his wound.
Before he could get to Haruka, who was watching him with worry in his eyes, he saw a huge barrier that separated the two.
"Did you really think that I would actually fight the two of you together?" Rido had said as he smiled cruelly. "Just sit back and watch the show, thrash."
Kaien did not believe it. He had spent months preparing for this fight and now he was in the sidelines watching. It seemed that all he did was watch. He watched as Haruka stole the only girl he had ever loved.
'No!' he thought angrily.
'I won't give up without a fight!' he thought with new founded determination. As he stood on two feet, he walked up to the barrier. 'Maybe if I attack this barrier it could come down, but still, this is something I have never seen before so I have to be careful.'
Kaien took his anti-vampire sword and swung at the barrier. What happened next completely shocked him, literally.
As his sword came in contact with the barrier it cracked and broke into tiny pieces. His skin accidently touched the barrier and soon he felt pain all over his body.
'What the hell is going on?'
His entire body was beginning to get shocked. The pain was too unbearable. His vision started to fade and the last thing he saw was Haruka's worried face.
"Kaien!" exclaimed Haruka. He started to run to his unprotected friend. As he was running, an anti-vampire sword came at him but Haruka who was quick on reflexes dodged it just in time. He realized that it was his brother who threw it.
"Now it's just you and me brother. After I kill you, and believe me when I say I will, I will slaughter Kaname and take Juuri and you're precious baby daughter too."
Haruka's entire body tensed. He would not allow that to happen at all. "I think you're mistaken Rido. You're the one that is going to be slaughtered." Thank Kami for his patience, because if he did not have it then everything would be a mess.
Rido sneered at Haruka. "Enough waiting, my hands are trembling with excitement of killing you."
He had then started to attack him using his blood-whips. He had lunged at Haruka with the intent to kill but Haruka, who had trained with Kaien for month's disappeared from his sight.
'Where the hell did he-'
He did not have time to react or turn his head as he felt a punch get in contact with his face. He flew back, his entire body almost touching the barrier. He did an elegant back flip and soon his feet touched the snowy ground.
He scanned the battle field, trying to locate his foolish brother, when he felt a kick to his chest. This time he did not have time to do a back flip and went flying into the barrier.
Rido tried to hold his cry of pain as he felt the pain of being shocked. He found Haruka, who was smirking at him, thinking that he won this fight. 'No chance in hell.'
He forced his body to stand up, coughing up a plethora of blood. He used his back palm to wipe off the blood from his lips. He was getting angrier by the second.
How could he, Rido Kuran, king of all purebloods, let his guard down to his incompetent little brother. He probably thought he was better than him now.
'No!' he would put that fool in his place, brother or not. His plan would take effect in a minute; he just needed to stall him for that got in his fighting stance and lunged forward. Both of them putting up a good fight but not getting any hits through. After a few seconds passed, he put his plan into action.
Haruka, who looked determined to end this fight quickly so he could help Kaien and get back to his family threw a powerful punch at Rido. The older pureblood did not get away in time and fell to the ground. When he fell, he did not get up.
Haruka, who was staring at Rido, who was lying flat on the snowy ground thought something, was off. Rido wouldn't go down with just a single punch. Everything that happened next completely surprised him.
Rido disintegrated in thin air. That wasn't supposed to happen. Usually, when a pureblood died they would crack and then turn into shards of glass. When a pureblood disintegrated into thin air it meant that the body was a fake.
Haruka's eye went big before he sprinted towards the mansion. 'How the hell did I not realize this earlier?' He thought. His anger rising by the second, forget Kaien, forget the thirty dead bodies around his house; he needed to protect his family and fast too. He ran even faster with the intent to kill.
Kaname who was watching Haruhi had two goals in mind. First, he had to protect his sister with his life. Second, he had to make sure that his mother did not do anything out of emotion. She had smelt Kaien's blood and she almost went into the battlefield.
Now she was trying to control her anger before she broke anything important. She could hear the fighting that was coming from outside and prayed that Haruka was alright.
'No! I have to trust that Kaien and Haruka can handle this.' She thought. Trying to get her mind off the subject she reached for her baby girl and started to tickle her. Haruhi, who was oblivious to her mother's distress, had starting giggling. Juuri & Kaname both smiled.
Kaname was having a very bad feeling. He felt like someone was watching them and he didn't like it. He gave Juuri a look, their eyes having a silent conversation. 'I guess that she feels it too.' Kaname thought. Juuri silently put up a protective barrier around Haruhi and stood next to Kaname.
"We know you're hiding. Why don't you come out?" Kaname said. The intruder waited a moment and soon came out to where they were hiding from.
Juuri froze as she saw the person she did not want to see again in her life.
"Rido" she whispered quietly.
"Juuri, I've missed you so much. How long has it been since we last seen each other? Two thousand years?"
She couldn't say anything. A part of her was happy that he was here, so she could rip him to shreds. Another part of her had wanted to take her kids and Haruka and leave.
She then realized what he was in here for. She had found the courage and then spoke to him. "I cannot believe this! You're targeting my child again!"
"Well, now I wouldn't call it targeting. I just wanted to see my beautiful niece with my own eyes. She really is your daughter Juuri; her blood smells amazing; even better than yours.
His eyes turned a blood red color, and soon he lunged for the little baby.
Rido made two mistakes in this situation. One of the mistakes was that he forgot that he was lunging at a pureblood. His pride thinking that he would win blinded him. Another mistake was that he forgot there was another pureblood in the room.
Kaname, who acted quick on his feet decided to make a move. He ran towards Rido, who was about to attack his Okaa-san and stabbed him on the right side of his chest. Rido was literally an inch away before he realized the pain and blood coming out of his chest.
Juuri, who was frozen in place started to back away slowly and tried to comfort Haruhi as she was crying.
All three purebloods in the room heard a noise and a bang and soon they were face to face with an angry pureblood. Haruka scanned the room to make sure that none of his family members were harmed. He saw Rido who was on his knee's coughing.
"What the hell did you do to me?" Rido yelled. "The blade I used to attack you with was filled with a type of poison that makes the victim go to sleep for a long period of time." Kaname said as Rido coughed up blood.
Juuri ran toward her husband as he hugged her. He was relieved that his family was okay. He kissed her forehead.
Rido, who was still in pain, was sick of the sight of them holding each other and decided to speak. "You all think this is over but it's not. You all know that her being here isn't safe at all. You would be risking her life and causing her pain. When I wake up from this sleep, I WILL come back and take what's mine."
Before any of them could grasp what he had told them, Rido had disappeared from there sight. All three of them held a worried expression on their faces.
"Where's Kaien" Kaname had said noticing that the vampire hunter was not with them and before Juuri could panic, Haruka said "Don't worry, I have the maids checking on him now. He should be fine." Juuri let out a sigh of relief.
"I never wanted this you know, ever since Haruhi was born all I wanted was for her to live and grow up normally like we had. I did not want her to worry about her role as the Kuran princess." Juuri had said as her burgundy eyes held sadness.
"None of us did. The only way for her to actually live normally is to either lock her up from the world or to turn her into a human and send her off somewhere." Haruka said.
"Do you really want Haruhi to live secluded from the rest of the world? Even I know she would be unhappy." Kaname said.
They all knew the answer to this hard question. But they did not want to say it. Juuri and Haruka's eyes met. They were having a silent conversation. After a few minutes they knew what they had to do.
"We need to make her a human and seal off her vampire side." Kaname looked shocked that they were even considering this. Before he could convey his thoughts, Haruka spoke "Like you said Kaname, she would be unhappy living secluded. If she's a human she could grow up happy and live peacefully, plus Rido could never find her."
"In order to make a vampire a human they would need to give up their life." Kaname said with sorrow.
"I have a solution to this. Before you were born Kaname, Kaien and I had been studying it. All we need to do is bite her neck too seal her vampire side." Juuri had said.
"And it won't be forever. As soon as Rido awakes from his slumber we can kill him and track down Haruhi again and then we will be a family again." Haruka had said.
Kaname, who was considering this finally, spoke up. As much as he loved Haruhi, he wanted to keep her safe and if this was the best way possible then he would agree to it.
"Just do it before I start to regret it." Kaname said. His voice was filled with sadness and a lot of emotion.
Juuri who was holding Haruhi had decided to say something to her. "Haruhi, I know you will not remember this but please grow up big and strong. Eat lots of vegetables and fruits and make sure to have real friends that you can count on. No drinking until your 21 and stay away from people who are considered bad. Remember to focus on school and pass your tests because school is important. I wish I could be here for you for all of these things, but I can't." Juuri had started to cry.
Haruka had decided to speak "And remember that no matter what, we will always love you."
Kaname had also decided to say something too. "Although I can't do much about the situation now, I hope you find happiness and know that I will wait for you.
Haruhi, who was staring at her family, was confused as to why they looked upset. Her mother looked like she was about to cry so she tried to scramble out words. What happened next completely shocked everyone.
She took her small hands and held it to her mother's face and said "mama"Juuri took the necklace she was wearing and put it into Haruhi's pocket hoping that the insignificant jewelry would be enough for her.
Juuri then brought her face to Haruhi and bit her neck. She felt the blood coming from the wound. She then did a spell to close off her vampire side. Juuri wiped the blood from her mouth, surprised at how good it tasted.
Haruhi's vision was starting to fade and the last thing she saw was her mother's tears and her brother's burgundy eyes. The heartbroken mother then placed an appearance spell on her daughter to change her appearance into something unusual.
Haruhi's appearance was completely different now. Her long red-brown hair was turned light pink. Her skin held a pale complexion and her face was round.
Haruka then said "Where will she be going now?" Juuri responded "I am going to use my teleportation spell to send her into another universe. I have a friend who owes me a favor and has always wanted children. So I'll be back."
She teleported from the Kuran Mansion to another universe. When she was there, she spotted an old cottage and quickly speed walked towards it. She knocked at the door three times before an old woman named Ayame answered. Juuri explained the situation to her and soon the woman agreed. Juuri gave the small baby to Ayame. She kissed her forehead one last time and walked away silently, never looking back once.
