Notice: This story is an offshoot of 'Vampire Knight written by Matsuri Hino'. I do not own any rights to Vampire Knight. I only own this offshoot story under the right of creative freedom.

*Warning: There is adult content in this story that is soft and gently mentioned but is graphic enough to hint to acts that children should not read. I would give my own material an M rating for mature audiences.

~A Father's Little Secret~

Junichi sat in the seat and his father's first question was, "Do you love Akiko Hai?"

Junichi replied, "Yes, Father, I have loved her since we were children, and I fell in-love with her in high school. I broke things off with her to save her from the heartache this day would bring but I had no idea I gave her a child, she never said a word to me even though she promised she would."

Junichi's father turned to his grandson and asked, "Young man, does your mother know you are here?"

The boy responds, "No sir, she thinks I am out with Uncle Daisuke".

The boy points to the man who brought him there, who was now leaning against the wall.

The old man says to everyone in the room, "I need everyone to wait outside except for Uncle Daisuke."

The boy and his father head out and silently wait outside while the old man prods Uncle Daisuke to see if he is using the boy to blackmail for money and threatens Daisuke to be truthful or the old man would tell Daisuke's mother what her no good son was up to. Uncle Daisuke tells the old man to go ahead and call his mother and rat him out because he has nothing to hide and he isn't there for blackmail, but he really just wants the boy to have his father in his life. The two leave the office and the old man asks Uncle Daisuke and the child to wait a few and called his son into his office.

"Son, I have decided that enough generations have suffered for the sake of money and died with only the happiness that children can bring. Arranged marriages are a daily chore of chess games, and I do not want that for you now that I know you have found true love. I will not stand in your way. Instead, I will defend, support, and protect your decision if you choose the path that leads you to the kind of happiness that only true love can bring. Call me a fool for good endings, but this is what I want for you. Oh, one more thing my son, since the child bears his mother's maiden name, you will have to adopt your own child. Isn't that irony at its core?" The old man laughs as Junichi sits there holding his mouth shut.

The old man continues, "I should warn you, your mother is a greedy old geezer who will cut you off from the family funds to spite you for depriving her of the fortune you would have brought if you married for money. I just wanted to forewarn you so you are prepared but do not worry, I have kept a distant eye on you through the parents of other students and my sister Michi. I have known about your love with Akiko and the deep affection you two have oddly shared since you two first met in kindergarten. When I heard about this, I hoped today would come to be and began piling money away that now rivals the family funds. Do not let your mother intimidate you because I am giving you this money as your wedding present. I will not let anything stand in the way of my son's happiness. I will not let another Kuran heir fall prey to a money hungry hag. I do not mind this at all, that school would have ended up in this family's pockets eventually because when the Headmaster dies, my sister will use an old will to take the school even though Mister Hai clearly stated it should go to his daughter when she became an adult. I know my sister well enough to know she will not let that happen and she will take the school right out from under them. With you marrying the Headmaster's daughter, your aunt will have to comply or face our side of the family for her greedy nose."

The two men got up and the old man patted his son on the back and told him to get moving and marry Akiko Hai before his wife found out or they both will have to do clever footwork to keep her from stopping them.
