Chapter 55   Time

Five years go by, Yuki and Zero have grown into being married very nicely. They are still very happy with each other. Both always looking forward to being together. The twins are now six. Ichiru is still the spitting image of his father. He is sweet and kind, always wanting to help others. Ren is still daddy's little girl, looking a bit like Zero but still has those eyes that reminder Zero of Kaname, every time he looks at her. She has a lot of Kaname in her, she can be emotionless at times. Not letting you see how she feels. Yet Zero figures she could get that from him as well. She is always very kind. She is extremely close to her brother and would do anything for him. Their bond is strong and doesn't compare to anything else. They are now in Kindergarten. Yuki taking them to school, every day. Just like a regular mom. Helping with homework, getting them ready in the morning. Zero will even help on days driving them to school when he can. They are your regular everyday parents. Which Yuki never thought she would ever get to be.

With Ai, Hanabusa had to teach her, train her how to be the best. How to do everything. She is a pureblood. There was no going out to a regular school. Kaname wanted her home where he could watch over her. Where here, Yuki and Zero were raising these two as regular children. They didn't have their fangs yet so there was no concern. They didn't have to worry about that till they were teenagers.

Yuki didn't think they would have to then either. She knew deep down. They found the person they would want to drink from all their lives. She saw it, from when they were very little. How they look at each other as she looks at Zero. She also knew this would cause a lot of problems for them. Even more so than, Zero and her relationship. Ichiru was half vampire hunter/half pureblood. It would be hard for others to accept him with a pureblood. They would never truly recognize his pureblood side. Ren was too powerful, it would lead to a lot of problems. Ones that at the moment, Zero and Yuki didn't have to deal with. Everyone thought she was dead. They had no idea they were together so they didn't have to deal with any of that. She was just a regular woman.

Now the association knew that Zero was with someone. They never met her, but he put his ring on. He felt it has been enough time. He has even taken the kids to work with him. They would never know, they were Yuki's since they resemble Zero. People at work were very surprised. Zero just saying he would like to keep his personal life just that. personal. But he wanted them to know he was married with children since most of them are. Always coming in telling stories of what their kids did. Zero wanted that also. For the first time, in his life, he wanted to be just like everyone else. Normal. Here he had that. No one judged him for being a vampire, not like back home. Marcus saw that he was a good man, one to do his job. Not letting the vampire side change him. Thats all he needed. Moving here was the best choice Zero ever made.
