Chapter 16: Rido's Past

-With Rido-Before Everything Started-

"Haruka!" Rido called for his brother. "What is it?" Haruka asked as Juri came in the room. "Can I be the godfather of Kana-chan?" Rido asked as he jumped up and down. Haruka and Juri stared at him before laughing. "Sure!" Juri said with a smile. Rido danced around. "Have you found your son?" Haruka asked with a tinged of sadness. Rido froze for a moment. "No... Not yet..." Rido said with sadness. "Rido, you can find him. I know it." Haruka smiled. Rido turned around to hide a blush.

Why? Because he's in love with his brother, but his brother loves their sister Juri. "Thank you, and I do hope that... Shiki is in a fine place." Rido said while looking at the sky. "Anyways, I still have a meeting with my Kingdom. So see you guys when Kaname is out of the womb!" Rido waved at the two. Haruka sighed as Juri looked worried. "There's something bad that's gonna happen isn't?" Haruka asked as Juri nodded her head.

-9months later-

"Haruka! Juri! Can I see Kana-chan?" Rido asked as Juri let Rido hold Kaname. "Uwaaa! He's so cute!" Rido said as his eyes shone. Rido pinched Kaname's cheek. Kaname teared up but isn't crying. "Oh! I'm sorry..." Rido said quite sadly as he gave Kaname to Haruka. "Rido, it's all right-" "No it isn't... I hurt Kana-chan... I'm bad..." Rido said as he sat down. Suddenly Kaname looked at him. Soon Kaname tried to reach for Rido, making baby sounds. "Gaaahh... bu... baaaahuuu..." Kaname tried to reach for Rido. Haruka smiled. "It looks like Kaname knows how to cheer up someone." Juri said while Haruka gave Rido his son.

"Kana-chan..." Rido teared up as Kaname touched his cheeks. "Baaabu... gaahhuu..." Kaname said as he pat Rido's head, soon he is playing with Rido's hair. "Aww..." Juri said at the cute display while Haruka sat beside Rido. Rido cheered up and hugged Kaname.

-A few years later-

"WHAT?! YOU WENT TO A PARTY AND FELL FOR SOMEONE?!" Juri and Rido shouted at Haruka, for two different reasons. Juri is shouting because her husband cheated on her while Rido is angry because of Haruka could love somebody else but never him. "Look! I'm sorry! She's just very kind and beautiful!" Haruka shouted. Now, that's a first. Haruka never shouts at them. After realizing what he did he stuttered.

"Look... I-I didn't mean to-" "Dad? Mom? Uncle Wido?" A toddler came i the room. Kaname is wearing his pj's and is clutching the teddy bear Rido gave him. "Come with me Kana-chan. Your parents are talking with each other." Rido said while taking Kaname's hand, then thye both left.

-A few more years later-

A silver haired woman asked for an appointment with Rido. "Rido-sama... I need help..." The silver haired woman said. "What is your name?" Rido asked as he could agree that, she's very beautiful. "My name is Shizuka Hiou, and... my lover was killed..." Shizuka appeared to Rido's life. "Who might be the one who killed him?" Rido asked as the topic is getting serious.

"The Kiryuu Family..."

Rido frowned at the name. He knows the family. He knows that they wouldn't kill for no apparent reason. They're too kind. "I'm sorry I can't help you..." "... always..." Shizuka mumbled something then Rido fell to the ground writhing in pain.

"Your body shall be mine,

Until my revenge have been justified,

Their blood will be good to dine,

And all single blood shall be erased from existence."

Rido then fainted. Shizuka smiled evilly. "I'll use you... Since you also disagreed with me... I'll curse your family.

"A pure bloodline of vampires,

sitting at their throne,

the people in that mansion shall be objects,

and the prince shall become a beast in the morning,

This curse shall break when the prince suffer the pains of love!"

Shizuka laughed then left. When Rido woke up he is never the same.

-Back to Present-

Kaname looked shocked as Rido finished his story. Rido is crying. He couldn't find his son because of Shizuka. Rido can never forgive himself for not being able to protect those who are close to him. He thinks of himself as pathetic. "Uncle, move, I'll kill Shizuka and end all of this nonsense." Kaname said as Rido stared blankly. "Please tell my son, I love him." Rido said as tears fell from his face.

"Brother, why don't you be the one to say that to him?"
