~Chapter 5: Eggs and Bacon~

Yuuki woke up with a splitting headache, her fingers freezing cold from the winter chill as she felt the space beside her on the bed.

Empty.

Of course, Zero was always up early for missions but these days, she couldn't even feel his body heat or presence on the sheets anymore even with her vampire senses because he never slept there to begin with, of course, why would he? He's a cat...well not anymore...he's something else now..a gibbon? a midget? a Shrimp? ...no Yuuki can't call him that because now her husband had the power to actually hold his gun, of course he can, he has hands now...but still it's not the same.

'It's been one month since he was turned into a cat and now I'm drinking from packets', Yuuki thought as she rolled from her side and laid flat on her belly. She now took over his missions and meetings since her husband was declared 'unable' to do his duties as president and of course it had to be passed to her unless she wanted to pass it to Mr. Yagari which was very unlikely to happen since Zero said it would mean the death of him and the society.

Yuuki was tired, she didn't know being president was this hard and it was unbelievable that Zero could still come home from work and flash her his beautiful white smile. All she could do when she got home from being president was scowl, raid the fridge, whine or just glomp Ichiru and Zero and tell them how much she loved them and asked them to prepare an early grave because she might just evaporate from the stress.

Life was hard, her husband's life was hard.

She went downstairs and looked around the empty living room, her vision still foggy from last night's mission and Mr. Kaito's excessive parkour as they chased the level E's around town, Yuuki couldn't catch up to the human even if she was a vampire...it's crazy how he can jump ledges.

"Call yourself a hunter, Kiriyu?~", Mr. Kaito said as he held his prize catch of the night by the collar.

All Yuuki do was say sorry and that she'll do better next time in between pants, "it had been a long time since I last went hunting", Yuuki laughed as she rubbed the back of her head, Kaito narrowed his eyes and frowned.

" if a gun would be pointed at Zero's head, I'm not sure if I could ask you to be the one to save him, Yuuki-san", Kaito said making Yuuki's heart sink, her palms sweaty and a thousand words of confidence stuck in her dry throat but the next words shattered her existence.

"You'll just get him killed if you tried".

"No mister Kaito, I won't even let the gun touch point his way..", Yuuki said it in a low and somewhat responsible military lady voice with hands on her hips on the foot of the stairs then she broke it flailing, "if only I said that! –and not just bow my head down like what he said was true! I can save Zero because A WORLD WITHOUT ZERO IS A WORLD WITHOUT MEANING!", Yuuki shouted to the heavens with puffed cheeks and adorably furrowed brows, nodding her head every now and then, many would think she wasn't serious oh but she was.

" I love you too", a soft young voice said as Yuuki looked over at the young face.

A face that seemed unreal even if she had gazed at it for almost a month.

Zero stood there in human flesh, silver misty eyes and snowy gray locks, big fluffy bent cat ears on either side of his head and a snowy gray cat tail sticking out from his back but this was not the man Yuuki loved, it was him but not physically. Zero was reverted into his younger self, about the ages of eight to ten..an age wherein Yuuki did not exist...this Zero was a stranger.

He wanted to talk to them again, he missed being human, he wanted to be human again.

He had to be human again.

Zero's wish was granted but it was incomplete, a weird twist in the small prayer being prayed back seat of the car almost a month ago and until now, Zero showed no signs of turning back.

Yuuki had to prepare for the worst, Zero being this adorably cute humanoid kid kitty forever. Fan service to the max level, if you ask me, just something to keep the author's sanity going, poor Zero had to suffer this abusive explosion of creativity as the author promised him to turn back into a human in this chapter...she lied of course to get him to agree to turning him into a human.

(What a filler don't you agree? *looks up* but I'm so good at fillers mwhahahaha :D)

Yuuki flashed him a half-hearted grin and jumped off the foot of the stairs, glomping her kid-husband, Hope this doesn't make me a cougar.., Yuuki thought squeezing him to the point that he started complaining that the surface underneath them would break from her elephant weight which ended in Zero receiving a weak right hook from his weight conscious wife.

"I'm only fat because of the food you cook, Zero!", Yuuki said angrily patting her stomach resulting in making Zero chuckle –well giggle since the poor kid hasn't even hit puberty yet, Zero cocked his eyebrows and crossed his arms smirking, "at least that means my food is good, right?", he said leaning against the side of the wood staircase.

Yuuki shook her head violently, "Your food is god but I worship Ichiru's food! My baby has talent!"

"—which he obviously didn't inherit from you"

"Hey, I can cook decent food, Zero!"

"Decent? Don't you mean barely edible food, baka?"

"I am not a baka! You're the baka!"

"Oi if I didn't help you review in senior year, you would've pulled down the class average again so be thankful, Yuuki", Zero pouted, his mood turning sour quicker than he usually did and he took jokes to his pride more seriously he was a kid so you can't blame him.

Yuuki just giggled and admitted defeat, he was too cute and at least now he could reply to her unlike when he was a cat but those ears and that tail...Yuuki could just melt from the adorableness.

After a laugh here and there, Ichiru emerged from the backdoor, covered in snow, it was morning but the temperature was freezing and Yuuki didn't like it one bit, she was a summer person, the warm welcoming air, the crispy yet fresh scent, the sound of everything so active and alive. She was a vampire who bathed in sunlight after all and it was her signature scent.

"So why was the house empty when I came down? Did you guys go somewhere?", Yuuki said in between bites of honey bacon and scrambled eggs, she sipped her coffee and looked at the two from across the table, Ichiru and Zero shared a small glance before Ichiru took over and answered.

"Oh it's nothing Mother", he said giving his best fake smile, Yuuki could see the moulds of plastic on her son's face, she frowned and looked at Zero, a kid couldn't lie right?

"Sooooooooo Zero where did you guys-"

"-it's none of your business", Zero replied with words that slashed through the air.

"heyyyyyyyyy come on, tell me!", Yuuki frowned and looked at her bacon angrily as if the bacon had wronged her in the most devastating way then suddenly an idea that wasn't worth it popped it's way into the brunette's head.

"tell me or else, Zero", Yuuki smirked er-uhm in the most OOC way which oddly scared her son, was this a side of Yuuki that had never been revealed to Ichiru before? Spoiler, it's a no.

"or else what?", Zero flatly said, not paying the slightest bit of attention to Yuuki or her son and focused on how to equalize the intake of the eggs and bacon, how he hated it when there was more bacon than eggs or vice versa, all of them should have to perish together within the pit called Zero's stomach, that is how the world should perish, how human and vampires should die and end together...like eggs and bacon.

"—Zero? Are you alright?", a voice said as Zero snapped out of his trace and looked up from his plate with furrowed brows, "I'm busy, what is it?".

Invisible facepalms flew across the room from one brunette to the other.

"—alright since you boys won't tell me, I'll share a story...from Mister Yagari...about a certain silver haired president", Yuuki said bouncing back to the topic, smiling as she looked at Ichiru, "want to hear this story Ichiru?".

Ichiru cocked his head and sighed, "if this is about that story where father volunteered to go undercover but he was wearing thin clothes so Uncle Kaito taped the recorder to his crotch..then no I don't want to hear it again".

A mad red blush spread through Zero's face like wild fire as he stood up and snapped his head at Ichiru, "Who told you that?", Zero said in a strained voice, face tomato red.

"Yeah who told you?", Yuuki followed, the story wasn't as embarrassing as the one she was about to tell but Ichiru's story had perked her up a bit and plus it was rare to see Zero in a lovely shade of red.

"Uncle Yagari when he visited last Christmas", Ichiru deadpanned and did not even bother to try to save the soul he had just sold out to Zero and his bloody rose, it may be a vampire weapon but the intention of murder was still evident in the silver hair's eyes.

Zero looked at Yuuki, "if you say that then that means your story is different?".

"it is, Shiki told me when you asked him to hunt down one of his models who turned level E under shizuka...ppfft...you cosplayed.. ", Yuuki bursted out into a fit of giggles upon remembering the said story, she fell to the ground and laughed like there was no tomorrow.

"looks like everyone has their own story about father ", Ichiru cocked his eyebrows.

Zero just pouted, he didn't know how to react, so instead he braved the embarrassment and hoped that tomorrow would be a better day.

~.~.~.~

Yuuki raced up the steps said good morning to everyone that she pasted by. Yuuki was partly useless to the vampire association but nobody could deny that the halls would light up every time she came, she was a beautiful ball of sunshine after all, the younger hunters would always ask themselves how Zero managed to get her, kidnapping or hypnotism were often brought up since Zero was capable of anything..except a good joke and flirting.

"Morning! Sai-kun!", Yuuki fell into a stop right at the feet of one of the best and most attractive hunters in the business, Kaito's son, Saito Takamiya, seventeen years old with hazel eyes and ash brown hair, the kid had a soft facial structure much like his mother's, Sayori, who was Yuuki's best friend in high school.

"Morning Auntie Yuuki", Saito said with a soft smile as he helped Yuuki up, "your late you know?".

"I know! But it's alright I took my time driving this time!", Yuuki chirped receiving a soft chuckle from Saito.

The two headed towards the library where Yagari said to meet them for the next mission. books wasn't something Yuuki favoured so she always tried to avoid that place as much as she could sadly libraries were Yagari's fortress and if he didn't smell of cancer sticks, he'd smell like an old library book. (I don't mean to character bash XD)

"Kiriyu! Your late again!" Yagari said with a cigarette in his mouth, "How many times do I have to tell ya' to get up early?".

"s-sorry Mr. Yagari", Yuuki bowed as she looked up at the ancient 52 year old cowboy who could still snag a girl if he wanted to which was disturbing since he was so old but he didn't look his age, he looked 30 or so but his wrinkles and oldless seep out of his skin when he shouted. He smelled like a museum artefact just waiting to be restored too.

"alright! Now go get ya' gear and we are going after the Kuran murderers, we've tracked them down and since Kaito's on a mission, you two will have to do", Yagari said pulling out his gun as Yuuki straightened up, "Yuuki, we know they're after you a so bring them a show of the best powers you can muster, got that? We need to lure out as much of them as we can".

Yuuki nodded as Saito smiled.

"-and Saito..wipe that smile off your face! That pisses me off!"

"uhm question uncle Yagari, Why did we meet up in the library?"

"excellent question, answer is nothing, I just like it here, now let's move ".
