Eight Years Later...
"Ai and Ren Kuran get out of there now! Your mother is going to kill me if she found out you two were in there!" I called after my nieces when I opened the door to find them in the closet where I keep my weapons. Sure there is only two weapons in there but since there are two little ones running around the manor, I felt it would be best if they were somewhere they can't find them, so Yuuki agreed it would be best if the coat closet was also where I kept my weapons so little vampires won't hurt themselves with them.
However, I didn't anticipate when playing hide and seek with them that they would hide in the damn closet! I'll need to put a lock on there without Yuuki noticing.
"But it's the best hiding spot ever, Auntie~sama!" Ren whined. I sighed heavily and knelt down as I held my arms out for them. They both ran to me and I yelped as I fell back from the weight of two toddlers slamming into me. "Are we in trouble?" Ai asked sheepishly.
"No you're not in trouble, I just don't want you to get hurt in there. I have somethings in there that can hurt you both and I would feel miserable if somehow either one of you or both of you got hurt on my watch." I assured them as I managed to sit back up and hold my nieces close.
"You won't tell Mother will you?" Ren asked. I giggled and kissed her head. "I won't say anything to her as long as you both don't." I assured her as they got off me. I got back up and brushed myself off. "Alright, sooo who wants ice cream?" I asked as there was a knock on the door. "Let me get the door first." I told them and headed over to the door, though I already have an idea who it is.
I opened the door to see Zero and I smirked as I leaned against the door. "Can I help you Vice President of the Hunter's Association?" I asked innocently. "UNCLE ZERO!" Ai and Ren squealed as they bolted towards the door. Zero knelt down and scooped both little girls up in his arms and smirked. "I'm not your uncle." He corrected them gently.
"But you are!" Ren whined as she whispered something in Zero's ear while Ai blushed about something. I cocked an eyebrow, not liking that lately my nieces and my boyfriend have been secretive with each other. "Well it's a good thing you came by, Zero, I'm about to dish out some ice cream." I announced.
The reminder of the sweet treat I promised gained both girls' attention and desire to be put back down. Zero sighed and shook his head as he sat them down. "Why must you insist on giving them sugar before your sister comes home? Especially when Ruka and your sister will be home soon to get these two ready for their first soirée?" He asked.
"Don't good little girls deserve ice cream? Isn't that right, Ai and Ren?" I asked innocently as I knelt next to both girls. "Do the puppy pout. He can't resist if we both do it." I whispered in their ears. They both rested their heads on my shoulder as we all looked upat him with pleading eyes.
Zero groaned and shook his head in disbelief. "Fine but I don't want to hear it about how your sister is now making you babysit Ai and Ren at my place in an attempt to stop giving them sweets." He groaned.
I wanted to point out I wouldn't complain about being at his place but I decided not to. After Yuuki felt she was ready to accept her duties as head of our family, she discovered she was a little overwhelmed with being a single mother and trying to handle her duties as head, so I offered to be her assistant and help her out with the twins. However, that meant I would have to continue staying at the manor till at least Ai and Ren was older though one would think now that both girls are eight she has a handle of things but she still struggles.
Zero wasn't upset with me on it or anything because he understood my reasons, it just doesn't help I miss living with him and spending a lot of time with him I know he feels the same way considering he makes visits like this one to see me before he goes to work or after he leaves from the University since when I do show up to work we both are busy.
"YAY! ICE CREAM!" They squealed as they wiggled in my arms to be released. "I'll let you go but no running." I told them both sternly as I released my hold on them.
Ai skipped towards while Ren speed walked to the kitchen and I sighed heavily. Well they found a loop hole. I yelped as I felt an arm around my waist and was turned around to be greeted by warm lavender orbs. "And I'm insulted you didn't give me a proper greeting." He teased. I childishly stuck my tongue out at him and eyed him curiously. "I don't know wouldn't it be inappropriate for me to be kissing-!" I let out a muffled surprise gasp as he kissed me passionately.
I was about to return the kiss when the sound of little feet coming towards our direction forced us to pull away. "Auntie, come on!" Ren whined as she poke her head out to look at us in disbelief. "Alright we're coming." I told her as Zero let me go. "Do you want some ice cream as well?" I asked Zero. He shook his head and I pouted a little. "Unfortunately, it's a short visit. I have some last minute things to handle at the University but I wanted to stop by and see you, and make sure you're okay." He told me though I knew what he meant by if I'm okay.
Even though I don't live with him at the moment, Zero still makes sure I'm not going mad from thirst just like I make sure the same thing when he comes by to visit.
"I'll be fine, but when you swing by to take Yuuki and the girls to the soirée and me to work I'll probably need it." I told him. He nodded and glanced over to where Ren was. "I should get going before two little girls start a riot for not getting their promised treat." He told me.
I groaned and looked over at Ren. "I'll be there just go wait in the kitchen with your sister while I say bye to Zero before he goes to school." I told her. Ren rolled her eyes at me and shook her head. "You mean kiss each other even though you will see each other later." Ren teased before heading back to the kitchen. I rolled my eyes at her and Zero chuckled.
"I swear if I think I'm turning into a bad influence on that child." I grumbled before looking over at Zero and kiss his cheek. "Alright I'll see you later." I told him. "Don't give them too much ice cream." He told me sternly as he ruffled my hair playfully and I childishly stuck my tongue out at him.
"AUNTIE IRIS! COME ON!"
