Its been 3 years since my last entry, just after Yagari took Kira, the twins and I to our respective homes. I'm thirteen now, so are the twins. Not much happened between my last entry and now, other than my finishing school and Toga dropping me off at Kaien's place a few weeks ago.

'I'll be back soon, Suki.' He said. 'You'll only be there a couple of days.'

Its been 3 weeks. I'm beginning to worry. Even more so now. Kaien had gotten a phone call. He said he had hunter business to attend to, that he'll be back in a few hours and that Yuuki's babysitter will take care of us. I have a feeling I know what this business is, and its beginning to make me cry. I want to save them, but I can't. I'm only 13, and I need to NOT royally screw up the plot beyond repair. My simply knowing the many characters I do probably already has, come to think of it. Ugh, my brains hurting and Yuuki wants to dance with me. Better go.

I laugh as I dance around the room with Yuuki to one of Kagamine Rin's songs. Suddenly the door is slammed open and a chilling winter wind whips through the room before the door is shut again. Yuuki and I exchange glances before running to the door. Standing there is Kaien Cross, his hand on a young silver-haired, violet-eyed boy's shoulder.

'Yuuki, Sakura, this is-'

'Zero. Zero Kiryu.' I breath, cutting of Kaien and staring wide-eyed. Kaien looks at me in shock. He must have forgotten the incident three years ago in which he met the twins briefly. It was the only time he had ever seen them before, as far as my knowledge goes.

'Yes, do you know him?' He questions. I nod numbly.

'Zero. What happened?' I ask, staring at his blood covered form. He responds by collapsing into my arms. I stumble but hold him up. Kaien looks at us and answers my question.

'His parents were killed by a bad vampire. Please, take care of him.' I nod emotionlessly and pull him up, taking him to the bathroom upstairs. As we walk I look anywhere but him, knowing he is looking at me. Eventually I run out of paintings to admire and look at him. We lock eyes and I nearly break at what I see in his amethyst orbs. Emptiness. They are void of all emotion, and I can't help but feel like its my fault.

We finally reach the bathroom after a walk that seemed like hours as silence and despair weighed heavily on us. I open the door and push Zero in gently. Inside the bathtub is steaming hot water that had been run by Yuuki's nanny originally for her use, but she had left to Zero once he arrived. On the basin across from the tub is a cloth. I turn to Zero.

'Zero, do you mind?' I ask hesitantly, picking up some material on the shoulder of his shirt to let him know what I meant. He didn't respond, as expected. I shake my head sadly and look up at him with wide eyes. I gently peel off his clothes and help him into the steaming tub of water and bubbles, to upset to be uncomfortable. I grab the cloth I saw earlier off the basin and dip it into the water. I lift it up and wring it out, before gently wiping the blood away at his neck. I gasp softly when I see his bite, even though I expected it. I had been friend with this boy for 3 years, and seeing him like this was distressing.

When I'm finished cleaning him I run and grab some of Kaien's old clothes and a towel before returning. I help him out of the bath and dry him. Once dry I leave him to dress. After he dresses, I lead him downstairs. Kaien tells Yuuki to take him to a guest room and the two leave Kaien and myself alone. I sink to my knees and begin to cry.

I'm lying in my bed with Zero curled into my side, his silent warm tears wetting my mint coloured nighty and the sheets. I'm stroking his silky smooth hair with my left hand while I balance this journal on my knees and write with my right hand. Zero makes not a sound. Not much happened since my earlier entry. I cried and Kaien calmed me and sent me, as well as Yuuki,to bed early. Later, Zero snuck into my bed to sleep with me. That was over an hour ago now. I suppose since there is nothing more to write, I will see if I can get Zero to calm down and sleep. Goodnight.

Rest in peace,

Yakama and Sakai Kiryu.

Loving mother and father, daughter and son, sister and brother.

You'll forever be in our memory.

A:/N: A pretty dark and morbid chapter. Short as well. The next chapter will be wayyy longer than normal though. And the next chap will also be our last long time skip. From then on, it will either be a few days, or just a few hours.
