Chapter 90
Later in the day, its time for dinner everyone heading to the dining room. Ai spending most of the day with Ichiru not letting him out of her sight.
She walks in with him, into the dining room, Kaname just looking at both of them. His eyes stare up and down Ichiru. Seeing Zero all over again. It makes him sick to his stomach. He knew this child was his, but this was something.
"Well, you must be Ichiru," Kaname says.
"Yes, You must be my uncle Kaname?" Ichiru asks.
Kaname never expected to hear that, never even thought about it. Now hearing it made it all too real.
"Yes, I would be. How are you enjoying your stay here? I see my Daughter has spent a lot of time with you today? I Hope she hasn't done or said anything out of place." Kaname replies.
"Not at all, I have enjoyed my time with her. It's very nice here. I didn't know my mother had any family. It's nice to meet you." Ichiru responds.
"I am sure there is a lot your mother hasn't told you. This will take time for all of us to get used to, but you are right. We are family." Kaname answers.
"Is everything ok? You keep staring at me." Ichiru asks.
"Sorry, I know staring isn't polite. I just can't get over how much you look like your father. It's uncanny. Yuki you have no doing in this?" Kaname asks.
"No, that is his true nature in every way. He is gorgeous isn't he?" Yuki gloats.
Kaname just giving her a dirty look.
"He is quite something. That is for sure. I do sense the strength in him as well. I think Ren and Ichiru should start training here. Not only for being Hunters. I think both of them possess the same powers." Kaname reveals.
"He isn't a true pureblood." Zero states.
"I know that, but he was in the same womb so I am sure the way Ren has gotten your powers, He has gotten mine. We need to see just how much. I would also like to talk to both of you after dinner." Kaname comments.
"Sure." Zero answers.
They all sit at the dinner table, talking and trying to get to know each other. Kaname seeing that Ai has come to life. Wanting to talk to Ichiru. He sees something in her he hasn't seen before. In a way, he is glad to see her happy. In another way, he isn't happy with who it is. Another Kiryu? A Hunter? He didn't want her to follow the same steps her mother did and is. He knew the consequences.
He also saw how polite Ren and Ichiru both were. How happy and normal they were. They showed respect and love for Zero and Yuki, even for Kaname who they just met. They grew up out of this life. Where things were normal for both of them. Kaname was glad for that, even saw that maybe it was a good thing Yuki took them away from here. He saw the difference from Ai to them. Ai could also be polite, respectful and ladylike. She also held resentment and coldness. He wondered if that was all towards Yuki, or just how she was because she stayed here.
Watching Yuki and Zero communicate with each other didn't help him either. He saw how much love they had for each other. How Zero let Yuki be herself. No matter what it meant. That was something Kaname couldn't do.
In a way now he wished she was really dead. It was so much easier for him to move on, then to see the truth in front of him.
