So this idea came to me today while I was on my walk. This story is still a Black Butler tale but I decided to bring some Vampire Knight in. I know Haruka and Juri Kuran had a child named Kaname who was murdered by Rido. But the Kaname in this chapter is the current one in the sequel. Yuki hasn't been conceived yet at this point. All Vampire Knight characters belong to their creator now on with the chapter!
Catherine's POV
Sometimes fate was a bitch. After we returned from visiting Joker, Beast, and Doll there was a letter from the false queen.
"What does her majesty want?" I asked Ciel.
Sebastian was driving the carriage since Snake was going to be staying on the circus grounds while his friends were in town. Undertaker no doubt would have information with this new case.
"From what her majesty writes she suspects a rogue vampire is making London their hunting ground" Ciel explained. "They found a badly torn up body this morning and the throat was torn to shreds"
Yep it sure sounded like a vampire on the loose. If I were to guess it had to be a newly turned vamp. Newborn vampire were dangerous and they needed a mentor so they could learn how to control their thirst for blood.
Undertaker would be happy to see Esme which was why she was coming with us to the funeral parlor. Sebastian stopped the carriage and he helped me out of it first before assisting Ciel.
"Hey can you take her love?" I asked my husband.
The demon smiled before taking Esme out of my arms. I swear the bigger my daughter got my arms tired faster.
"I had a feeling you four would be coming to see me" Undertaker greeted.
The retired grim reaper was coming out of a nearby coffin.
"You really need to quit giving people heart attacks" Sebastian reprimanded the mortician.
Undertaker giggled and immediately his attention want to Esme. Sebastian sighed before giving our daughter to her mate so he could hold her. Esme laughed before she began to purr.
"She no longer nurses thank god" I informed the silver haired reaper.
"I bet your relieved" the mortician stated.
"Hell yeah I am her fangs are sharp"
Undertaker giggled at my remark before we got down to business. Ciel gave a recap of the false queen's letter to Undertaker.
"Do you know anything that could help us?" Ciel wondered.
"Well my lord I don't have the body from this recent murder due to it well being torn apart but I have a theory"
"Do you assume a rogue vampire? Because I immediately thought of that" Sebastian suggested.
"That was what I was suspecting too" Undertaker confirmed.
"The council will want this to be resolved as soon as possible" Ciel added.
That was a fact. The supernatural council in London were very strict after Ash decided to try and destroy London with fire. Sebastian decided Undertaker earned a good joke so I blocked Ciel's ears when my husband told it. The former grim reaper laughed his ass off. Undertaker said goodbye to Esme before Sebastian took her from the mortician.
Before I stepped into the carriage something felt off to me. I couldn't explain what or why but I grabbed my swords that I carried around from the carriage and ran off in the direction where I felt unease. And it was a good thing I did because a little boy no more than five years old was being cornered by a group of vampires I never seen before in an alleyway.
One of them turned to me and it smirked. It then charged and I drew my blades out. The vampire shrieked when I cut off its head. Soon the whole cavalry was attacking me but thanks to my sword fighting skills I disposed of each rogue with ease. Once I made sure the rogues were dead did I approach the little boy.
He had dark brown shoulder length hair and light brown eyes. What surprised me was that also was a vampire but not one I crossed paths with before. I bent down to the boy's level so he wouldn't be afraid of me.
"Are you alright sweetheart?"
"Yes my lady I am"
Awww! This young one was so cute and polite!
"Where are you parents? They must be worried sick about you"
The young vampire blushed before answering.
"I wanted to see some toys in a store window and got lost from them" he confessed. "Your a dhampir aren't you?"
This child continued to surprise me.
"I am my name is Catherine" I introduced myself.
"It's nice to meet you Lady Catherine my name is Kaname Kuran"
He then took my hand and kissed it.
If I were to guess Kaname's nationality he had to be Japanese. I sure wasn't going to let this young vampire roam around the dangerous streets of London while rogue vampires were loose.
"Until we find your parents Kaname I want you to come with me okay?"
"Yes ma'am"
Kaname took my hand and I led him back to where the carriage was.
"Catherine love what happened?" Sebastian demanded when I found him and Ciel.
My husband and brother eyed Kaname in interest. I explained about what happened and Ciel agreed that Kaname was safer with his until we found his parents. It was a short ride back to the townhouse and Kaname had fallen asleep during the ride there.
"Sebastian put him in one of the guest rooms" Ciel ordered my beloved. "I'll call Annemarie so word can be spread about our guest"
"Yes my lord"
Sebastian then took the sleeping Kaname into his arms and entered the townhouse. I put Esme down for her afternoon nap and had a quick shower. I found Ciel and my husband in Ciel's office after I changed clothes.
"That boy is a vampire" Sebastian notified me and Ciel. "But one I never seen before"
"I felt power coming from Kaname" I interjected. "I wouldn't be surprised if he and his parents are part of some hierarchy"
Kaname slept for a few hours before he woke up. The young vampire took an immediate liking to Sebastian and Ciel. When Kaname saw one of Ciel's chess boards he got excited and Ciel decided to see how well the young vampire could play.
For amusement Sebastian and I watched the match. Kaname surprised us with how well he played and Ciel was impressed. The match ended up in a draw which rarely happened when my brother played. Before dinner there was a knock at the door and Sebastian went to answer it.
A few minutes later my husband led a young couple into the sitting room. Kaname immediately ran to them and I knew these people were his parents.
"I'm glad to see you two reunited with your son" Ciel told Kaname's parents.
"You have our gratitude Lord Phantomhive" the man who I assumed was Kaname's father answered. "And that of your sister"
I blushed and Kaname's mother suddenly hugged me. The embrace was brief but I didn't mind. It was then the married couple introduced themselves as Haruka and Juri Kuran. And as I suspected they were indeed from Japan. They were in England on holiday with their son.
The Kuran family ended up having dinner with us. All three vampires were impressed with Sebastian's cooking. Without being rude I asked our guests what sort of vampires they were since I wasn't familiar with their kind. Thankfully they weren't offended and they explained they were Pureblood Vampires.
Pureblood Vampires were the top ranking vampires in their society. Purebloods had all sorts of powers which explained the aura I felt from young Kaname. Noble vampires or aristocrats were a rank below Purebloods. Then the ranks went to C and D.
"From your description of the vampires you fought earlier Catherine it would seem they were Level E's"
"What are Level E's?" Sebastian asked.
"Humans who are bitten by a Pureblood and turn into vampires, eventually they lose their humanity and become a blood thirsty being" Juri informed us.
"So there has to be a Pureblood who has gone rogue or these Level E's decided London would be their hunting grounds, there's already been one fatality" Ciel added.
Haruka and Juri looked saddened by this news.
"Excuse me" Sebastian interrupted and my husband excused himself. Esme had woken up and the demon went to get her.
"Sebastian is a demon isn't he?" Haruka suddenly asked.
My eyes went wide as did Ciel's.
"Uh yes he is" I replied. "He's also my mate and currently contracted to my brother"
"We've heard of demons but never seen one until now" Juri continued. "From what I sensed he fed almost a year ago"
I told the Kuran family how Sebastian came to be. Of how the contract formed between him and Ciel. When I fed from the demon's blood, etc.
"Sebastian took part of my mother's soul in exchange for Ciel's, he won't have to feed until a few more centuries"
"Boring our guests about me Little Dhampir?" my husband teased as he rejoined us with Esme in tow. Juri stood up and walked over to Sebastian so she could get a good look at Esme.
"She's beautiful" the female vampire complimented. The Pureblood carefully stroked Esme on the cheek and my daughter emitted a low hum.
Sebastian then let Juri hold Esme and the Pureblood became smitten over her. Kaname decided to take a closer look at our daughter while Haruka stated.
"We recently had a miscarriage, we want to give Kaname a sibling but so far we haven't been lucky"
The Kuran family eventually had to leave but before they did they promised Ciel they would try and aide the council to stop the Level E's causing chaos. Kaname kissed my hand goodbye which touched me.
"I must say I enjoyed being around different vampires for once" Ciel admired after the Kurans left.
"They are certainly intriguing" Sebastian agreed. He had Esme back in his arms. Our daughter was currently biting on one of her teething toys. My husband looked at me with a smirk. "Young Kaname seems to have gained affection for you my love"
"Oh shut it" I growled turning red.
Ciel chuckled but he soon went silent when I flashed him a glare.
