Chapter 58 Old friends

Zero gets in his car and heads to the venue where the charity is going to be held. Some large old castle like home. One of the rich vampires owned. Letting them use it for these types of events. Zero just looks at the place, it looks old and creepy from outside. Never expecting a big party inside for all the richest of vampires. The house filled with gorgeous old expensive things. Looks were surely misleading.

Zero heads in, taking a look around. Most of the heads already there. Mingling among themselves. He spots Hanabusa right off the bat.

"Hey, how are you?" Zero asks. "Zero, it's great to see you. I'm good and yourself?" Hanabusa asks. "I'm well thank you. Where is your crew?" Zero asks. "They couldn't make it. Really none wanted to come. Kaname asked me to come for him to bring the check. It's the only reason, I am here." Hanabusa states. "Oh, I am so glad the rest isn't coming. I wasn't looking forward to them being here." Zero answers. "They really have no need to come to China. All our work is in Japan." Hanabusa remarks. "Thats good to know. He let you come here so he still trusts you." Zero states. "Yes, very much. I don't work for him like before though. I don't live there anymore either. I moved out. I have gotten married and my own life now. I even have a son. I heard you got married as well and had twins?" Hanabusa says giving him a look. "Why yes. I have. Congratulations to you. Who did you marry?" Zero asks. "Yori. I was always in love with her, just not sure if I should of went for it. When I saw someone else do it. I figured what the hell. Twins eh? Not only one but two. That would have been something." Hanabusa replies. "Good for you. I am glad you got what you wanted. And yes twins. They both look like me. My son, you would think is my twin. We named him Ichiru after my brother." Zero says proudly. "Thats very nice. I am very happy for you both. I am sure Ichiru would be proud also." Hanabusa answers. "Me too." Zero responds.

Zero walks off going into the corner feeling relieved.

"Hey babe, he didn't come. None of them did except for Hanabusa. We are in the clear." Zero says. "Great. I love you." Yuki replies. "Love you too." Zero answers.

Yuki is also relieved when she hears they didn't come. She hurries upstairs and finds a dress that is black with all sequins. It's long with spaghetti straps, that hug each and every curve she has. She hurries and puts it on, putting on a pair of black high heels. Curling her blonde hair and adding makeup going as fast as she could. She asks the neighbor to check on the kids to make sure everything is ok.

Then she gets into her car and drives the house as fast as she could.

Zero is at the charity event when Maria comes up to him, wanting to talk and spend the evening with him. She is still very taken in by him. He reminded her of Ichiru in every way. She just wanted to be around her love. While they are standing there talking. Zero just happens to look up at the door. Seeing his angel walk through it wearing the long flowing sequin black dress. Her hair up in the back and hanging in the front with all curls. He can't take his eyes off of her. He leaves Maria standing there, Walking to wear Yuki is.

"Babe, what are you doing here? You look amazing." Zero says. "Thank you. I figured since he wasn't here, I would come. I want to be with you." Yuki answers. " I am glad your here," Zero says. Taking her by the hand to dance.

"I see she found you? I thought she would. She never misses a trick." Yuki states. "She just wants to be around me because of Ichiru. It's sad in a way if you really think about it. I am not what she really wants. I am just holding the vessel she wants." Zero answers. "I never thought of it that way. When I do it is very sad." Yuki replies. Just looking into Zero's eyes. Not able to imagine loving someone so much, and watching his twin live life. When he was gone. It bothered her, and she didn't see Maria as a threat any longer.
