AN: Here is the next part.
Rido's presence made everyone in the restaurant freeze, including the employees.
"Well hello there Tohsiro, Kaname. Is that Zero and Yuuki behind you?" The smirk on Rido's face made Toshiro and Kaname both bare their fangs and growl.
"Why are you here, Rido?" Toshiro was shaking with so much rage. "You destroyed my family enough! What do you want now?" The older Kiryu was trying to control his emotions in front of Zero. He didn't want Zero, Yuuki, and even Kaname to see the monster he could become if he had willed it.
Rido sat down at a table about 10 feet away with a small smile. "Well you know I was in the neighborhood when I sensed them," he said as he pointed towards Kaname and Yuuki. "They are my family, Toshiro. You would know how important it is to have a family. Oh, wait, you don't. Your first wife was taken by the council and I killed your human wife. Honestly Toshiro, a human who was a hunter? How could you stoop so low?"
Toshiro's eyes were a terrifying blood-red color. "If you know what is good for you, you will stop this nonsense and go away. You are not wanted by the Kuran siblings and I don't you near my son or me! Go away, Rido!"
Rido rose to his feet, as Kaname took a few feet back, as the children backed up with him. "That's so mean, Toshiro. I even brought you and Kaname a gift."
Kaname and Toshiro froze when he said that as a spell hit them both. With a moan, the two fell to the ground unconscious. "Nii-san!" Yuuki was at Kaname's side, trying desperately for him to wake up.
"Father!" Zero was no better, as he was at Toshiro's side. He shook his father, "Father, please open your eyes! Wake up!" Rido laughed menacingly, as the two young children looked at him, fear clearly on their faces. All Rido did was two fingers, as nobles surrounded the children, grabbing them.
"No! Let us go!" They both screamed, trying to squirm away. The two were knocked out as they were hit in the back of their necks, falling limp in the arms of the nobles.
"Yamachizo-san?" Rido called one of the fire users that was on his side. "Pull Toshiro and Kaname out of this establishment and burn it. Then send them to Cross Academy. I want Kaien Cross to know I am sending a message." With that, he walked away, smirking that he now held Yuuki and Zero's lives in his hands.
Kaien was busy feeling out paperwork when he sensed vampires nearby. Realizing it wasn't the Night class he grabbed his cloak and hurried outside. The presence of the unknown vampires began to fade, as he approached the gate. Laying on the ground were both Kaname and Toshiro. His eyes widen seeing Zero's father. not realizing he was back.
When he heard the sounds of running he turned and saw the night class students coming. They froze seeing Toshiro before they glanced at Kaien. "That man is Zero's father, the pureblood known as Toshiro." He didn't say anything else as they all nodded. He approached Toshiro and picked him up. Kain went up to Kaname and picked him up. "Follow me, we cannot allow others to see Toshiro." They follow Kaien silently into the Sun Dorm and a private room. Kaien laid Toshiro down and he watched as Kain placed Kaname down. He turned to the others. "Where are Yuuki and Zero?"
Takuma stepped forward. "A few hours ago, Kaname said he needed to investigate an issue and took the children with him." Kaien thought about it for a moment and he realized what happened.
Kaien went red with anger, "Damn it! That means Rido found him...Zero and Yuuki are both in danger!" The nobles gasped. "We need to find them now!"
"But Kaien-san, none of us are purebloods! We don't stay a chance against Rido-sama," Takuma exclaimed, staring at him. He then glanced down at Toshiro and Kaname. "If he is the one who did this to them both who are purebloods, we will all die!"
"But Zero and Yuuki can die," Kaien explained, on the verge of tears. "I cannot lose Zero and Yuuki is just as precious to me! Please help me save them!"
Takuma turned to the others, who looked at one another. Before anything was said, they all felt two presences approaching the Academy. Kaien rose to his feet, as he appeared dumbfounded. "No..."
"Do you know who they are?" Takuma asked. Their auras were deadly and they could all sense they were both purebloods.
"Yes," he whispered, closing his eyes. "It's Zero's twin brother and his baby sister, Ichiru and Kaiya."
The door flew open and standing in the doorway were the two siblings. Ichiru stepped in first followed by Kaiya. They both glanced down at Kaname and Toshiro. Ichiru frowned, as his eyes landed on Kaien. "Hello, Uncle..." Kaiya said nothing, as she stared at him. The nobles were frozen due to the amount of deadly aura they both had. "Isn't it strange that every time something happens to our family you're involved?"
"He didn't do anything wrong," Aido blurted out without thinking.
An instant later he was in the wall due to Ichiru's fierce expression alone. "I wasn't speaking to you, low-life vampire! How dare you speak in that matter to a pureblood! Do you wish to die?"
Kaiya placed a hand on her older brother's shoulder. "Nii-san, restraint. We didn't come here to fight or kill anyone. We came for answers." Ichiru growled softly, as he closed his eyes. She turned her attention to the nobles. "You have to forgive my brother, he got that attitude from our father. We can already tell you what happened to our father and to Kaname-sama."
Takuma looked at her and she nodded, allowing him to speak. "I was guessing some sort of sleep spell, I use to study them."
"Yes and it's a powerful one," Kaiya whispered. "It is not nearly as powerful as the one that was placed on Rido for the last 1,000 years. Unfortunately, he woke up recently, and now he wants revenge. He placed both Kaname and our father in a sleep that will last 10 years."
"Kaiya, is there a way to break it?" Kaien asked looking at her.
"The death of the caster and the one who ordered it,' Kaiya replied. "So I'm guessing Rido and one of his subordinates. I am merely afraid because if Ichiru and I fall victim to it, you won't be able to save Zero and Yuuki for at least 10 years."
"I won't fall victim to it," Ichiru mumbled, as he opened his eyes.
"Father said the same and look what happened, nii-san," Kaiya whispered, as she glanced down at her father. "We might need her help, Ichiru."
"No," he shouted, causing the nobles to jump back in fear and Kaien's eyes to widen. "I don't want Shizuka near any of us!"
"She is your and Zero's mother, Ichiru! We may not have a choice," she yelled at him. "She can help get them back! All we need to do is promise she won't go back to the Council!"
Ichiru narrowed his eyes at his sister, whose eyes glared back intensely. "Kaiya, we are not asking her anything! We are Vampire Hunters, we don't make deals with lowly humans!"
"My mother was human, Kaien is human and I'm half human," Kaiya spat out at him. "Watch what you say, brother! I might be the daughter of a pureblood who was my father, but my mother was a human hunter! Don't forget that!" Ichiru grunted as he crossed his arms. The nobles were dumbfounded and learned that Shizuka Hio was the mother to the pureblood brothers. That literally explained how Zero and Ichiru were literally both born purebloods. The only thing that disturbed them was Ichiru was literally an adult and Zero was a child. How did that happen? Kaiya looked at the nobles, I'm guessing you are members of Kaname's trusted circle?" They nodded. She looked at Ichiru, who growled a bit. However, he eventually relented and nodded. "Follow us, we have a lot to explain." Kaien led them all to a private meeting room, as the nobles sat with Kaien at the head of the table and them both across from them.
"Alright, whenever you're ready," Kaien said kindly. She managed to give him a smile before she cleared her throat.
"Okay then, this is a long story so I hope you're ready," Kaiya began before she closed her eyes. "It begins with my father, Toshiro, Toshiro Kiryu."
