A.N. Thank you everyone who reviewed, faved, and alerted. I hate to say that I am having a bit of a writers block (insert the female scream from horror movies). If any of you writers out there have any suggestions about killing my writers block, please tell me!!!! WARING: Both parings are in this story, so this is for everyone. Anyway, here is the next chapter also inspired by the holiday…

A large tree sat surrounded by packages wrapped in pretty paper and colorful ribbons. At the strike of 7 am, a young girl opens her eyes, and smiles widely, she knows what day it is. Its Christmas Day… the day of giving, but mostly receiving, the day of wonder for all little children. A few minutes three small faces peek around the corner, their eyes sparkling with joy. While the two twin boys stay behind, the youngest child, a little girl named Ichigo, runs to the hallway. Starting at the beginning of the hallway, running to the ending up the stairs to the next hallway. She took a deep breathe and started to yell.

"It's Christmas! It's Christmas! Wake up! Wake up!" But before she could get to the stairs, the fourth door on the left opened quickly. Yuki flew out and clamped her hands around her younger cousin's mouth.

"Are you two stupid?! You'll wake Zero!! Are you trying to get killed?!" She spat, trying to be as quiet as she could.

"But cousin Yuki, it's Christmas!" the little red haired girl asked enthusiastically.

"Yes, I know what day it is, but keep it down. Zero is still sleeping." Little Ichigo looked up at Yuki with her big soft eyes and pouted her lips. Yuki tried to look away, but she gave in.

"We'll wake up Zero last. I'll help you." Ichigo gasped with delight. She took Yuki by the hand and the two of them proceeded to wake the household. Within fifteen minutes the two of them had waken everyone but Zero and Kaname.

How you turned my world, you precious thing
You starve and near exhaust me

"I'll wake the other two, you go and open some presents." That was invitation enough for the little girl. She tore down the hall to the living room. Yuki laughed quietly and turned to the door of the room that Zero and Kaname were sharing. Maybe it wasn't the best idea for the two of them to share the same room. Yuki took a deep breath, and knocked. No one answered. She knocked again, and no answer again. Gathering up her courage, she turned the door knob and braced herself.

Everything I've done I've done for you
I move the stars for no one
You've run so long
You've run so far

The shades were pulled down so no light could enter the room, so her eyes had to adjust to the darkness. When she could finally see, she saw that one of the two twin beds was unoccupied. When she got closer, she saw that it was Zero who was in his bed. 'So where is Kaname?' She thought. She turned to the bathroom, and at that moment Kaname walked out drying his hair with a towel. He looked up at her like he wasn't surprised. She blushed furiously and spun around.

"I'm sorry for coming in. I was coming in to wake up you two. I didn't realize that you were in the shower," She said in a hurry.

"It's all right, It's not like I'm out in the open." He said cheerfully. She blushed scarlet and gulped.

"Well, since you're already up, will you wake Zero up and tell him to come down." She shuffled towards the door, but she stopped when Kaname's hand came and put on her shoulder. He turned her around and kissed her softly on the mouth. She closed her eyes and sighed quietly, she could get used to this.

Your eyes can be so cruel
Just as I can be so cruel

"I'll tell him," he said when they broke apart. She smiled at him and slipped out. Kaname's smile fell off his face when Zero spoke up.

"Well, well, well-- Merry Christmas to you too." Zero smirked.

"Go get dressed and come down. They're waiting for you." Kaname walked out of the room leaving Zero to his thoughts. Zero slowly trudged out of his bed towards the bathroom glowering. 'What does Yuki see in that selfish, spoiled, Vampire prince?' Zero thought.

Though I do believe in you
Yes, I do
Live without your sunlight
Love without your heartbeat

Yuki had been with him, from the beginning. She was the star in his dark life. She was his little sister. She was the one he looked forward to seeing in the morning. Did he feel something for her? Was this brotherly affection, or something more?

When he had bitten her, he knew that their relationship would never be the same. He had sullied (a.n. I can't believe that I am using that word, but it works) her. As Kaname had put it; 'had bitten his dear girl'. Zero walked out of his room, down the hallways, down the many flights of stairs to the living room where the family was.

I… I… I can live within you…

A small boy in glasses, around the age of 5, ran towards him in dinosaur pajamas. The boy, Haru, tugged on Zero's sleeve to get his attention. Zero looked down at him, and the little boy held a present wrapped in a sparkly silver ribbon. Zero knelt down to the little boy's height and took the present. When he opened the package, silly string flew all over his face. Haru laughed pointing at him. Zero's face went a dark shade of purple and he chased the little boy around the house.

Haru's twin brother, Toshi, went towards Kaname who was in the kitchen. He was drinking a mug full of water-turned-blood-from-blood-tablets. It looked like he was drinking coffee from the child's perspective. Toshi tugged on Zero's sleve, just like Haru had to Zero. He whispered into Kaname's ear. Kaname nodded smiling. He handed a long thin box to the little boy that was wrapped in a bright red ribbon. Kaname motioned over to Yuki. The little boy nodded and headed towards his older cousin.

Yuki sat next to her aunt Kiri and her uncle Daku. They were arguing about how long the snow was going to fall. Yuki laughed at the silliness of the argument. Then little Toshi came and sat next to Yuki with Kaname's present in his hands.

"For Me?" Yuki asked smiling. Toshi nodded. Yuki gently opened the present, and found a charm bracelet. It had a rose charm, a moon charm, a star charm, and a small cherry blossom charm. She looked at Toshi.

"Thank you, but what is?" She asked the little boy. But the little girl did not answer; she just smiled and looked at Kaname, who had been watching the entire time. Yuki and Kaname's eyes met and she mouthed the words 'Thank You'. She looked back at Toshi, but he was sitting on the headmaster's lap playing with the top that the headmaster had given him.
