Chapter 17: Family

-With Zero-

The water have risen up to half of Zero's body. Thank goodness he can stand, or else he would have been long gone. Zero tried to break the chains, but everytime he touches it, it burns his hands.

'Kaname...'

-With Kaname-

"Father?!" Kaname said surprised as Haruka showed up behind Rido. "Ha... Ru... Ka..." Rido said as tears were falling from his eyes. "Where's mom?" Kaname asked as Rido moved clutching his head.

"Family are met,

Time to end the fight,

Try to get,

The soon frozen fruit,

with all your might."

Shizuka's voice came out of Rido's mouth. Haruka sighed. "Son, go get your beloved, before going to Shizuka. He's in danger. Your mom is already fighting with Shizuka. I'll deal with your uncle." Haruka said as Rido froze. "But, Father! Uncle Rido is innocent!" "I know... but the only way to... free him is... to kill him... and I know... you can't do that..." "Is that what happened years ago?" Kaname asked as the air became cold. "Sadly yes." Haruka said as he passed the frozen Rido.

"I'll tell you the details about everything later. Right now, is you don't make a move. You'll never see Zero-kun again." Haruka said as Kaname moved then stopped. "How did you know Zero?" Kaname asked as Rido moved to attack Haruka. "As I said earlier, I'll tell you the details later." Haruka said as he blocked Rido's blood whip. Kaname looked for one more second before moving.

"Oh, dear brother. Do you remember what I said to you before you died, years ago?"

-With Juri-

Juri panted as she blocked one more of Shizuka's attacks. The fight is going on for hours already. "Oh, dear Juri. You are still the same as before." Shizuka said as she drew back for a while. "You became stonger it seems." Juri panted as she healed her wounds.

"MOM!" Kaname shouted as Juri blocked another attack. "GO GET ZERO!" Juri shouted as her face sported a wound. "No! You go get Zero, and get out. I'll fight her!" Kaname said as Shizuka stopped. "Good, move woman. I'll be having my next fight." Shizuka said as Juri weighed her options. "Fine." 'It will be lucky of me if she also drowned!' Shizuka thought as she smirked. Kaname saw this and doubted his decision.

"Be careful Kaname!" Juri shouted as she ran towards the dungeon. Kaname stood in front of Shizuka who held the hunter weapon she used on Zero. Kaname's eyes went blood red with anger as he recognized the owner of the blood on the sword. "Finally noticed did you?" Shizuka said as she licked the blood. "It seems that his blood is... much more delicious than that of a pureblood." Shizuka laughed maniacly.

"WHAT DID YOU DO TO HIM?!" Kaname snapped as his fangs were bared. "Ohh~ Scary~" Shizuka mocked. "What about you ask what will happen to them?" Shizuka said as she readied the hunter weapon.

"That is if you can beat me."

-With Haruka-

"Brother, I'm sorry..." Haruka said as he pierced through Rido's chest. Rido slumped on him. "It's... all right... I... *cough... understand..." Rido said as he smiled with tears. "I have... *cough... always... loved... yo..." Rido wasn't able to finish his sentence, because he dissapeared, leaving his clothes.

"Bother... I... too... love you..." Haruka hugged Rido's clothes with tears falling from his face. "... Even when... I married our... younger sister..." Haruka said as he remembered the past.

-Haruka's Past-

"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 they both left.

"Now, explain." "I didn't love you." Haruka said as Juri's eyes went wide, before tears were starting to form. "Sorry, I thought that my feelings would change if I married and have kids with yo-" "So you used me?!" "No, it's not like that... I love you only as a sister..." "So... who's the lucky girl?" Juri asked as she clutched on her clothes.

"It's not a girl." "WHAT?!" Juri screamed surprised. "A boy?!" Juri said surprised. "And... it's our brother... I lied earlier, so that he won't notice a thing..." Haruka said as Juri processed everything. "You... love our... older brother..." Juri whispered before smiling like an idiot.

"YAAAY! YAOI!" Haruka fell down as he heard that. "What?!" Haruka paled as he heard what Juri screamed happily. "Yaoi! BL! Boy x Boy! Seme x Uke! That kind of thing!" Juri shouted as her eyes were practically shining. "O-okay... So... you're not angry?" Haruka asked as Juri shook her head no. "Nope! Actually I've been writing stories about you two for a while now." Juri smiled innocently while Haruka backed away, and it seems that Juri is the first ever fujoshi shipping Haruka and Rido.

Kuro: A clarification. Haruka and Juri aren't reincarnated. Therefore which is why they know of the past. And Updates may happen every Friday, Saturday and Sunday or when I can post, but mostly during Friday, Saturday and Sunday. I have been busy so Updates would be hard.
