Chapter 104

Yuki takes Ai to one of the safehouses and disguises them both. Yuki going back to what she looked like while she lived in China and now giving Ai, a different appearance. Both of them taking the pill to take their pureblood aura over. Yuki knows this will be a bit different for both of them. She just hopes that it also gives them a chance to get closer.

They both head to the airport getting on the plane that will change their lives forever. Yuki just hoping its for the best. As they are on the plane she thinks about Zero, hoping that he is on the plane, also. Knowing they couldn't sit together or even be seen together. It would be for the best. She was happy to be going home to the place that made her the happiest in her whole life. Back in her life, she shared with Zero, back to her son. Yet, leaving Ren behind bothered her, she was still one child down. Always having to give one up, to save the other. Even though it was just for a summer, she wished they all could go back together.

She also sits there and thinks if Kaname will really even give her a divorce? She might have asked for it, and the council won't be looking for her now, but him actually signing the papers and going through with it was a whole new story. She knew he was pissed. That he wanted to hurt her, it's why he always kept throwing the death of Zero at her. She hated that he could use that against her, and it seemed anytime he wanted to hurt her, he would say it over and over again.

Zero sits in second class, feeling a relief leaving Japan. He knows that at least now they don't have to look over their shoulders for Kaname to come and find them. He also knows in a way, Kaname will never truly be gone. He knows Yuki means well with her intentions, he also knows Kaname will never let go in many ways. Now even having Ren, both children being his, made things even more complicated. Would Ai be happy here in China or make their life hell while she was staying with them? Zero saw a lot of Kaname in her, just Kaname knew how to be polite even though he was shoving it up your ass. Where she wasn't, she just said things the way they were. Zero saw the hate and coldness running through her. He just hoped for this summer things would go well. He also knew she Ichiru, now she would be with him for a few months, things could grow even more. Living in the same house, Ai wasn't anything like Yuki, she would go after what she wanted, not holding back or caring what anyone else thought. She was going on sixteen, where Ichiru was only going on eleven. He was still a child. Zero didn't want him rushed into this, he wanted him to want her as she wanted him. He just thought they both needed to be older for this.

Things worried him, in many ways. He would just have to watch and see what was to come, hoping it would all go back to normal and he wouldn't regret his choice in making Ren know Kaname was her real father. He just knew things were way different from when they left China, and now returning.

The plane lands and they all go to get their luggage, all going separate ways, so no one would know the better.

Yuki gets into a car with Ai and drives home, while Katio is waiting to drive Zero home.

"Hey man, how was it? And what was with sending Ichiru back and forth? Katio asks.

"There aren't any secrets anymore, everything is let out. Kaname isn't very happy with how this ended. I don't see him really giving Yuki what she asked for." Zero replies.

"It's everywhere, with what she said at the party. Everyone is talking about it. Asking even more questions, like why doesn't she want to be married to him? Is this why she left in the first place. They know they are hiding things, just not why and all of it. The council is still very unsure, why Yuki left the first time and now again. Also why Kaname, knowing she was alive would let everyone think his wife was dead. They only thing that really helped with was getting him off of death row." Katio states.

"Did I ever come up in any of the conversations?" Zero asks.

"No, none. No one ever even thought about you, they are not sure if she had an affair or not now. Her having another child with him, confused them even more about everything. I can't see Kaname letting this all just go. He isn't he type, and he seems back to his normal self. Even the council has seen that, and even though they have questions, they rather not get in his way. They are back to be scared of him, and any orders he would give they would run with it. You know what that means right?" Katio asks.

"He can't kill me, not only because of Yuki but because of Ren. She is his daughter. He wants to get her closer to him and promised her no harm would come to me or her brother. He is a lot of things but he will keep his word. Not to mention how it would make him look that his wife messed around with me. He has a lot to cover up as well, anything he is planning on doing will have to be between us. Like not give her the divorce she so wants.  Or dragging her back there for some reason." Zero answers.

"So you do see him being a pain in the ass?" Katio responds.

"Of course, when wasn't he? He let her walk out because he had to, I am sure he will think of something. He was majorly pissed that she took Ai. He never saw that coming. The child resents us so he thought she would never want to come here and be with her mother. It just seems she likes Ichiru. I just wish she didn't." Zero comments.

"That's good and bad in a way. I guess it's how you look at it. It keeps your son safe, he has purebloods around him to guard him. In another way, being with him, puts a target on his back, just like you have one. Also, that must be a smack to Kaname, not only his wife wants a Kiryu but now even his daughter." Katio laughs.

"I am more worried about his safety than anything else. He is just a child." Zero answers.

"You were a child when you met Yuki, she took care of you and your love grew. I can see the same happening to them. What is Kaname going to do about Ren's last name? She is Kiryu, not Kuran. I am sure that is another thing to burn his ass." Katio states.

"I don't know, he will have to be careful with that, not making anyone know or see her real birth certificate. I am sure he will have it changed, even though it should be Ren Kiryu Kuran. She has both of us in her, we are both her fathers. It just wouldn't benefit her to have my name." Zero admits.

"I can see why you're worried about your son. To be honest, I don't know how you do it. How can you keep so many secrets? Even without Kaname, you two are not free in any way. There is nothing wrong with your name, you are one of the strongest vampire hunters. Your heritage is meaningful, special, and you can't even be proud to give that to your children. That would piss me off." Katio announces.

"It some ways it does me to, I just knew this is how things would be. I took it on, I accepted it. I just hope things go well with Ai here this summer. I also hope things go back to what they were." Zero replies.
