DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

I woke up to my phone going off and I groaned. Why can't the council just leave me alone for one day?! I decided to just ignore the phone, however I realized I wasn't alone in my bed. When I noticed there was an arm wrapped around my torso and a warm body behind me. I racked my brain to figure out who was in my bed and why.

Oh yeah! Zero was about to head back home and get some rest, however I wasn't ready for him to leave. Call me paranoid but Zero just got his memories back and I was afraid Suki would somehow manage to get into his apartment and redo her spells on him.

Once the phone stopped ringing I sighed in relief and closed my eyes. The phone started ringing again and Zero groaned, no doubt was just as frustrated as I was with the damn phone for interrupting sleep. "Just answer the phone, Iris, it's probably important." He grumbled. I sighed in defeat and leaned over to grab my phone to see it was actually from Yuuki. My eyes widened in shock and I quickly answered the phone as I tried to rub the sleep out of my eyes. "Yuuki, what's wrong? Did something happen to the baby? Are you okay?" I asked hurriedly. "I need you to get to the Academy, it's urgent!" She told me. "The Academy? Why what's-" Yuuki hanged up before I could finish my question. I leapt out of bed and headed towards my closet. "What's wrong?" Zero asked. I glanced over to see him slipping his boots on. "I don't know but Yuuki promised she wouldn't call me unless it was important or something regarding the baby. The fact she said to go the Academy is worrisome enough!" I answered as I grabbed my clothes I was going to wear and rushed into my bathroom then closed and locked the door behind me.

I quickly changed into a pair of black skinny jeans, a dark brown v neck shirt, and my black leather vest. I slipped on my combat boots and brushed my hair and teeth. I put my hair in a ponytail real quick and headed out of the bathroom. Zero got off his phone and looked at me worriedly. "That was Kaien, Suki broke out somehow. I need to head there and help them find her." He told me as he fastened his gun holster. I walked over to him and looked at him worriedly. "Are you sure that is a good idea? What if you do find her and she tampers your memories again?" I asked.

Zero's eyes softened and he cradled my cheek gently. I leaned into his palm and held his hand that was on my face. "I won't let it happen again." He assured me. "Just be safe please! I just got you back, and I would be really upset if something bad happened to you." I pleaded. He kissed me passionately at first then it slowly turned to a soft and tender kiss. He pulled away gently and stared at me intensely. "I'll be safe as long as you promise me the same thing." He told me. I nodded and brought his hand to my lips and placed a gentle kiss on his palm. "I will." I assured him.

He playfully pulled at my ponytail and I pouted. "Meanie." I grumbled. He chuckled and kissed my forehead. "I love you, Iris." He told me. I couldn't help but grin when he said that. I had missed hearing those words coming out of his mouth as well as his kisses and his embrace.

"I love you too, Zero." I told him. He smirked and pulled away. "I'll text you when I'm done." He assured me. "You better!" I growled as I headed to my nightstand and dug out Ravek's and Silver Iris's holsters from the drawer in my nightstand. I yelped when I felt another playful tug on my ponytail and I glared at Zero playfully. "Remind me not to wear a ponytail around you."

I growled. He snickered and kissed my forehead before farting out of my room. I rolled my eyes and smiled, happy that we were able to be pick right back where we left off in our relationship. I fastened my holsters on me and put my weapons in their appropriate locations.

Hopefully Yuuki is okay.

XxX

When I reached the Academy I noticed a few figures by the gate and my eyes narrowed when I recognized Kaname. I sprinted towards and leapt over the gate. I landed next to Yuuki, who had Artemis in its scythe form and was wearing her trench coat . I stood up and pulled Ravek out and had it morph into its sword form. "Now I know what was so important that you called me at two in the morning and asking me to come to the school I dropped out at." I grumbled as I glared at Kaname.

Yuuki nodded and looked over at me. "Sorry for waking you though, I know you have been very busy." She told me. I waved her off and smiled reassuringly. "Hey like I told you before, us Kuran girls need to stick together." I reminded her. She smiled and nodded then looked over at Kaname. I saw her jaw clenched and I almost felt sorry for him for angering a pregnant vampire woman.

Almost.

"You really piss me off right now." She hissed at him. "That's because I'm a cruel guy who abounded you." He told her solemnly. "I never avoided you though! Do you remember, if you had to let me go you would rather kill me with your hands or have me kill you? That's what you told me in front of the coffin room, right?" She asked him. "That kind of sounds very unhealthy there," I looked over at Kaname in disbelief," and you literally said that to her? Are you sure you're our brother?" I asked.

"I'm not your brother, Iris, nor am I Yuuki's. I'm the ancestor of the Kuran family." He explained. I stiffened and looked at him confused. "W-what? But we grew up together!" I argued. Yuuki grimaced and sighed heavily. "He's telling the truth, Iris. Apparently before we were born, Rido killed our real brother, whom was also named Kaname, in order to awaken our ancestor for his own personal reasons. Our ancestor saw what Rido did after he was awaken and since he was still very weak he allowed his body to generate back to that of an infant." Yuuki explained.

I looked over at her surprised. "Wait...how long did you know about this?!" I asked in disbelief. "Almost a year." She admitted. "And you slept with him?! Oh gosh...and I thought it was bad enough you were in love with our brother but to find out it's actually our many greats grandfather?!" I groaned. Yuuki shot me a withering look and I rubbed the back of my neck sheepishly. "Sorry! Um...back to to the morbid stuff!" I said nervously.

She rolled her eyes and shook her head in disbelief.

Kaname shook his head and looked at us sternly. "Both of your weapons that you hold in your hands is used to strike down vampires." He told us. Yuuki and I charged at him at the same time. "That's right and we'll do it with our weapons and will take advantage of the time you need to regenerate and move quicker!" Yuuki snapped as she leapt into the air to strike his head though Kaname was quick to block her blow. I readied my sword as I charged to run through his heart. I yelped as he kicked me hard in the stomach and I landed on my bum.

I got up quickly and clenched my jaw. "We're not going stand aside and let you do this! Even if we have to tear you apart!" I snapped. I'm not sure what Yuuki was thinking to get that close to him while she's pregnant but clearly she was so angry at him she forgot to keep in mind she's with child.

I charged at them again but only so Yuuki can move away from him. "Yuuki, move out of the way!" I shouted. She looked over and moved Artemis away and moved back from Kaname. Kaname blocked my attack and I decided to repay him for the lovely kick in the stomach by kicking him just as hard in his stomach. He flew back and used his sword to stop him from falling on his back.

"How troublesome." He hissed.

Yuuki ran over to me and looked at me worriedly. "Are you okay?" She asked. I shot her a disbelieving look and she blushed brightly no doubt from embarrassment. "You're asking me when you're the one pregnant here and you are trying to play hero. Don't get close to him and use my gun." I ordered as I handed her Silver Iris.

"But-" "But nothing! I don't care if you two have that weird morbid promise that one of you two will kill the other, for crying out loud think about your child, Yuuki!" I barked. Her hand flew to her protruding bulge where the baby is and she frowned. "I shouldn't have allowed my anger to control my actions, I'm sorry." She apologized. I sighed and shook my head. "Just be careful and don't get close." I repeated. She nodded and her eyes widened in fear. "Iris, wh-" I reacted quickly when I realized there was someone behind me, by quickly spinning around and raising Ravek over my head as I blocked Kaname's downward strike at me. I gritted my teeth as he tried to force all his weight on me and I used my vampire strength to force him back.

He staggered back and I twirled Ravek a bit in my hand then stood in a defensive stance. "You asked me what was the reason behind my actions, and I'll answer your question before your consciousness drowns in a pool of your blood. Can't you both feel it as you wield those weapons?" Kaname asked. "The only thing I'm feeling is the need to kick your fucking ass for abandoning my sister and her unborn child." I hissed.

"Killing purebloods is "Her" desire, and if I have to slay those standing in my way then I will." He explained. "That female ancestor?!" Yuuki demanded.

Ooo is this a former lover of his? No wonder Yuuki sounds really pissed. I charged at Kaname and leapt into the air as I readied my sword to slice his head off. "Abandon me as a lunatic." Was the last thing I heard before he disappeared and I yelped when I landed on the ground a little hard.

I morphed Ravek back into its rod form and slipped it into its holder.

I stood back up and I raised an eyebrow when I noticed something wet was on my hands. I looked down to see my hands were covered in blood and Zero's body was lying at my feet. Panic ran through me and I dropped down beside him to see he had been almost drained dry. I then noticed he had a wound on his shoulder that looked serious and was no doubt made by from an ant vampire sword.

"Zero?!" I cried. His almost lifeless lavender orbs looked at me with anger. "Why did you attack me like this?" He whispered. My eyes watered and I shook my head. "I didn't!" I sobbed. "You really are a monster." He hissed before he turned to dust. My heart shattered into millions of pieces and I clung to what little remains of Zero laid before me. "I'm so sorry!" I sobbed.

"Iris, snap out of it! It was an illusion!" Yuuki called as she grabbed my shoulder. My eyes widened as the dust and blood disappeared and I looked around startled.

It was an illusion?

I looked over to see Yuuki looking at me worriedly and my blood ran cold. Oh god...did I hurt her?! She knelt down next to me and cupped my face. "Sis, it's okay. Zero is still alive. I'm angry that Kaname no doubt told Ruka your deepest fear." She growled as she helped me dry my face.

"I should have known something was off but the moment I saw Zero near the brink of death...I don't ever want that to become a reality!" I choked out. Yuuki pulled me into her arms and held me closely. "You're stronger than you give yourself credit for, Iris. That day will never happen." She assured me. I took a deep breath and nodded before pulling away. "Where did they go?" I asked as I wiped away a few stray tears.

"They left but I think they're heading to the Association." She told me and handed me Silver Iris back. "Yuuki, I appreciate all your help today but I'm going to have to ask that you go back to where you were staying at. This might be getting too dangerous and I would hate myself if something bad happens to you and your baby." I told her. She looked torn and I grabbed her hand and squeezed it reassuringly. "Don't worry I'll be fine. Besides when I get to the Association I got all the back up I might need, especially since Zero and the Headmaster is there." I told her.

"But isn't Zero-" "As of yesterday he got out of her control and his memories are back." I interrupted. She nodded and gave me another hug. "Be safe." She told me.
