Author's Note: Okay people, last chapter! My first multi-chapter Black Blood Brothers fic complete. Hope you enjoyed it and it may even inspire some of you to write something similar to this.
Disclaimer: I do not own Black Blood Brothers. If I did then there would be alot more moments of Jiro's past seen by the viewers.
Jiro awakened and sighed. It had been weeks since Alice had died and the Hong Kong Crusade had ended and now he was being bombarded with memories from when Alice was alive and Cassa wasn't a traitor. Jiro felt his cheek and was surprized to find it wet. He normally didn't cry, not since becoming Alice's protector. Jiro heard a few small whimpers come from the wall closest to his bed. Jiro got up and walked over to said wall. There was a make-shift crin there because Jiro couldn't afford and actual one and inside was a little baby. Jiro gently picked up the crying infant and rocked it by shifting his weight slowly. Jiro looked down at the babe in his arms and sadly smiled.
'Alice, its hard to believe you were reincarnated as a little baby boy. I promise this time I will protect you, I will not fail,' Jiro thought as he watched the blonde boy yawn revealing a pair of very tiny fangs. Jiro chuckled to himself and shifted the baby to rest his head on Jiro's strong shoulder. Jiro walked back to his bed and sat down on it. The boy opened his eyes, revealing that they were a light blue color like Alice's were.
"Kotaro, you don't relialize how cute you are yet, and I bet one day you'll get the two of us into trouble," Jiro said to the blonde in his arms. Little Kotaro cooed at Jiro causing the latter to smile. Jiro laid back and placed Kotaro on his stomach. The babe yawned and fell back asleep on Jiro's warm stomach. Jiro sighed and carefully moved Kotaro to his chest. Once there Jiro hugged the much smaller vampire gently and felt a few tears slip down his face.
'I've always wanted to have a baby, but I wanted it to be with Alice. Not my Alice,' Jiro thought as he cried into Kotaro's thick blonde curls. Jiro knew that he had to let all his anguish out not bottle it away, but he knew he had to do so later on. He had to be the strong older brother who wipes away Kotaro's tears, and in order to do that Jiro had to sacrifice being able to cry so he could be strong for the both of them. He held back the tears for seventy years now, he could handle another twenty years. Just long enough to be strong enough to handle the fact that he'd die at the hands of his charge. Jiro had to keep this from Kotaro, he didn't want him to refuse the blood that's rightfully his. Kotaro would eventually become the Sage again all because of Jiro's blood. The blood that turned Jiro all those decades ago. The blood of Alice Eve.
Author's Note: Short I know, but it wraps the story up. For those of you who want some more moments in Kotaro's early childhood at the sanctuary you'll get that as soon as I get the time. That probably will be after The Adventures of Chibi Jiro is finished. Review~Bff#3
