░ Zero in diapers░

Zero Kiryuu was currently out on a mission from the council. Apparently there was a nest of Level-E's deep in the woods outside of a small town and the silver haired hunter just so happened to be the lucky guy to get the job. He pulled his heavy coat tighter around his body as he began to trudge through the darkened forest. It was just his luck to get a job in the middle of a gruesome winter and to make matters worse a light snow began to litter the ground.

The silverette grumbled something intelligible at the weather and gripped the handle of his Bloody Rose tighter. He wanted to get this mission over with quick and return to the Academy where he would have peace and quiet. Since it was winter break all of the Day Class and Night Class students went off to visit their families or somewhere fancy while Zero got to stay with Headmaster - insert unhappiness here- and enjoy nothing at all.

Yuki had invited him to go to her elder brother's mansion but obviously he declined. Firstly, why would he go and stay two weeks at his enemy's home, and Secondly, where there would undoubtedly be a surplus amount of vampires. The recently turned pure blood had told the silverette that even the nobles would be attending as well.

In all honesty, Zero declined Yuki because he didn't see her as a close friend or anything anymore ever since she became a vampire. Not only that she was a pureblood and Kuran's sister. He knew that it wasn't entirely the brunette girl's fault but he could not fully see past that. He felt guilty when he saw the hurt in Yuki's eyes after he'd given her a flat out no. To make matters worse, Kuran had been there to give him a disapproving look. Zero really disliked the guy and while Yuki was not close as she used to be, the silverette hoped that Kuran did not hurt her.

Zero really disliked the guy for reasons than one. There was a the sound of a branch snapping alerting the hunter and cutting his thought process short. Holding his Bloody Rose higher, Zero took stealthy footsteps deeper into the tree covered area. There was another snapping sound to his right causing him to turn his head slightly in that direction.

In a split second, the silvette was pushed to the frosty ground as a snarling inhuman thing lunged and clawed at him. Acting quick, Zero quickly fired two rounds into the Level-e's chest, effectively disintegrating the beast. Before the silverette could get to his feet, he heard growling somewhere behind him. Tilting his head up a bit, he saw another vampire.

The hunter twisted his body on the ground , aimed, and shot once to the middle of the Level-E's head. The vampire quickly fell to nothingness. Zero quickly got to his feet, not wasting anytime. He needed to gain some distance before the other vampires came. He could hear them at his feet as he ran and Zero prided himself with being fast. So caught up in running, the hunter failed to see the Level-E right behind him. The beast snarled and clawed at the silverette's back. Zero hissed from the searing pain but was not deterred as he turned, grabbed the vampire and pressed the gun into it's stomach. It was successfully killed.

Zero could feel a tiny hint of fear as he looked back at how many Level-E's were peering at him at the moment. He knew he had to fight or die. "Come on bloodsuckers" Zero beckoned them with his gun. They lunged at him and the hunter began firing.

It seemed like forever until the silverette had only piles of ash surrounding him. He wiped a small hint of blood from his lips and let himself fall to one knee as he was rather tired. Zero's head snapped up when he heard the distinct crunch of snow. "Who's there?" he called out to the intruder. This person did not have the putrid smell of a Level-E, whomever it was, was human. A shadowy figure appeared in between trees.

"Job well done, Zero Kiryuu but I am sorry to say that you have to die" Zero was faintly aware that the person pulled out a hunter's gun before he felt a hot pang in his chest. The boy fell to the ground clutching his chest, his eyes slowly closing.

The unknown figure walked closer to the fallen hunter. "I'm sorry Zero but you will ruin the plans of the association." They picked up the silverette's Bloody Rose and quickly vanished. Snow began to fall heavily covering up the red on the ground.

Zero Kiryuu felt too cold for comfort, actually he felt near hypothermia. He tried to sit up but his clothes felt too heavy on him and he tried to pay no attention to the fact that he could not feel his legs in his pants nor his feet in his socks and shoes. He was definitely unbearably code. The silvette opened his eyes to see only darkness. That was not right. All of sudden, memories flooded the hunter's mind. Him fighting the Level-E's then an unknown person shooting him in the chest.

He should be dead. Was he dead? No, Zero shook his head then he wouldn't be feeling the coldness or even be thinking at the moment; however nothing explained why he could not feel clothing covering his body. Zero crawled trying to find his way from the darkness.

Wait he crawled? Zero began to panic as he made his way to the openings of his shirt and coat. Oh no. Oh no. A small head popped out into the winter world. Zero was overcome with anxiety as he hesitantly pulled his hand out to look at it. Shit, I've been turned into a child. A baby no less. I cannot survive out here with this body. Shelter, the now young Zero thought. Making haste, the silverette tried to pull his coat to cover his small frame but it was too heavy for him. Baby Zero bit his lip from frustration. He would just have to take the shirt. It was thin but it would have to do.

The silverette quickly wrapped the shirt around his now tiny naked body. Zero looked up at the sky, everything seemed so big to him now and dark. Fear slowly crept into the boy. The sky was growing darker and snow was falling harder and faster. Zero began to run, his tiny feet quickly chilling from the snow.

As the hunter ran, it became harder for him to breath, his body was growing cold.

Curse this body.

Zero was ready to give up hope but then from among the trees he could faintly see bright lights from a large home. With more reason to go on, Zero began to run quicker pushing his little build. He would have smiled when he reached the gates of the mansion, if his tiny face had not been frozen stiff. The silverette was just big enough to fit through the gaps of the wrought iron gates.

He toddled up the long drive, he would have run but his tiny legs were not up for the exertion. The hunter made his way around the cars lined in the drive and made a beeline for the door. Zero had to take his time with the fairly large steps because his legs were both incredibly short now and cold. Once on the landing Zero looked up and gawked. The doors were gigantic and the doorbell was terribly high up.

My life is simply wonderful, Zero thought. Balling up a tiny fist, Zero pounded as hard as he could on the wood not enjoying the sting on his frost bitten hands. He should have surely died. He could liken this trip to hell. Zero wanted to say he waited patiently but he didn't.

He was freezing cold and the shirt he'd managed to carry was now soaked from the snow. His small frame was wracked with violent shivers and he was sure his skin was blue. Zero was not able to ball his fist again so he waited. It seemed like forever when someone opened the door. Heat immediately called to Zero but he was more focused on who answered.

"Hello?" Takuma Ichijo looked around into the cold night but saw no one. Tiny Zero rolled his eyes and pulled on the blonde's pants leg. Again, I hate really hate my life. Takuma immediately looked down and saw Zero. Green eyes widen with shock. "Oh my." he quickly picked Zero up and cuddled Zero to his chest. "What are you doing out here little guy? You are freezing."

Zero reluctantly snuggled into the blonde vampire's warm sweater. He vaguely heard the door being closed and felt Takuma clutch him tighter to his warmth. "Dear god, who would leave such a cute baby in the cold like this. You are on the brink of death." Worry laced the boy's voice. The hunter did not care since he had a small bit of warmth now. He could feel the blonde quicken his steps.

"Takuma is anyone out there?!" The silverette heard none other than Aido Hanabusa yell. "Shut it you idiot." a feminine voice reprimanded him. Zero guessed that it was Ruka. Gosh, he just had to stumble into Kuran's mansion of all places. The smell of food drifted to Zero's noise making his tummy growl.

"Oh seems as if someone is hungry. Don't worry we will get you food now. You're just in time for dinner" He whispered to the baby in his arms. A warm hand pressed to Zero's damp hair and slowly stroked it back and forth which Zero found soothing. If Takuma didn't notice it was the hunter, than the others wouldn't either. Babies had their own smell, they always smelled new and fresh.

Zero felt the heat grow as the blonde stepped into another room. The smell of food was also more prominent here. "Finally Takuma . . . wait, what's that?" came Aido's voice.

"Well I found this little guy at the door, Kaname-kun. It explained why the knocking was so low. I think he wandered here himself and he had nothing but this large shirt on. He's freezing but should be warming up a bit." Takuma explained. "What should we do with him?"

"Put him by the fireplace so he can warm up, I'll have the cook make something that he can eat. Surely he doesn't have many teeth yet." Kaname Kuran's strong voice floated over to Zero's small ears, making them perk up.

"Is he asleep?" Came Yuki's excited voice. Of course she would be happy to see a baby.

"Oh no! He's probably like this because he's cold. Hold on." Zero didn't have time to know what was happening before Takuma turned him around to face a table full of vampires. They all stared at him with curious expressions and Zero felt put on the spot so he did the only thing he knew how to do. He cried.

All the nobles started to go into a frenzy only managing to heighten the wails from Zero. Well it was mostly Aido but isn't always. Yuki rushed to Takuma's side and tried to say soothing words while said blonde tried to rock Zero back and forth. Nothing was working, and the tears kept falling.

One Kaname Kuran was not liking the situation at all so he said, "Enough" efficiently ceasing all the commotion even Zero's crying. All of the other vampires turned their attention to the older brunette, Zero turned his big watery eyes too.

"Takuma bring the baby to me." Kaname ordered. "Are you sure Ka-"

"Now"

"Okay." The blonde quickly deposited Zero into the pureblood's arms. The silverette sent a seemingly lethal glare to Takuma but the blonde only found it cute and pinched Zero's cheeks then went to take his seat by Shiki Senri. Yuki pranced back to the table and sat at her seat next to Kaname. She started making googly eyes at baby Zero and the hunter was almost thankful when Kuran turned Zero to face him.

" Now, you will sit here, be quiet, and warm up then you will eat something. Understood." Zero thought Kaname would be a scary father so he gave a small head tilt which the brunette took as a yes.

"Ne, oniichan that is not the way to talk to a baby . Did you speak with me that way?" Yuki wondered. Probably not, Zero thought.

"Of course not." he answered. Totally knew it.

"Well, Yuki-chan is right. You are supposed to speak with the baby more affectionately." Aido butted in, knowingly. Everyone at the table nodded, even Shiki and Rima agreed. Who knew?

Yuki clapped her hands together causing everyone to look at her. "Right! We have to give him a name."

Kaname sighed and looked at his sister. "And what do you suggest Yuki? Although he probably will not be staying long if his parents are looking for hi-"

"That does not matter for now he will be with us so I vote to call him little Zero." Everyone gave the girl and incredulous look. "What? you guys cannot say he doesn't look just like him only in adorable baby form." Everyone turned their attention back to the baby that was actually Zero and studied him. Kaname had turned him back to face the nobles.

"Well he does have silver hair" Takuma pointed out.

"And lilac eyes" This was from Ruka.

" Don't forget that cute little scowl of his." Everyone looked at Aido, even Zero. The blonde blushed and sank into his seat. "Not that I was looking or anything."

"Besides Aido's crush on Zero, are we sure that it isn't Zero's lovechild or something." Rima spoke up. Zero watched as she tried to sneak the mahogany haired vampire a pocky stick. He tried hard not to roll his eyes at her comment. There's no way I would copulate with the opposite gender, not that they know that.

"No, this baby is definitely fully human and doesn't even have hunter's blood running through his veins." Kaname replied, easily burying her statement. "And don't spoil your appetite Shiki. Speaking of which, we should all began eating and it is agreed upon that the child shall be called Little Zero for the time being."

All of the nobles agreed with a shake of their heads. Kaname looked down at the baby in his arms. The child did in fact look like the hunter and he was quite cute. If this had been actually Zero, there was no way he would willingly sit in Kaname's lap this long. Although the pureblood fancied the idea of the older silverette sitting in his lap, he would never admit it to the hunter who still despised him with a passion.

The pureblood's thoughts were interrupted when a maid came and sat a steaming bowl of chicken broth in front of Kaname. "The soup Lord Kaname" the girl bowed low then left when the brunette dismissed her. Zero stared at the soup that smelled delicious and could not suppress the growl of his stomach. All of the vampires stared at him causing the hunter to blush , warming up his still cold cheeks.

"Awww, that was the cutest stomach growl ever!" Yuki shouted out. She reached out her arms to Zero. "Oh, oniichan please let me feed Little Zero. He's just too adorable."

Zero felt his eye began to twitch at the girl. There was no way he would let Yuki feed him. The silverette began shaking his head from side to side at the long haired brunette. Chuckles surrounded the table at the cute action. " It looks like Zero-chan does not wish for you to feed him." Kaname told her although secretly happy that the child didn't want to go to his sister.

" You act just like big Zero." The female pureblood pouted. And you act younger than me, the hunter would have remarked if it wouldn't have come from his mouth in baby talk. He had the body of a one year old for Kami's sake.

" Even so Yuki. you should drink your water then eat your dinner and stop acting like a child."

" Sure sure" The brown haired grumbled to her brother but she followed his orders anyway. Zero watched as she dropped the blood tablets into the clear liquid which slowly turned to red. Lilac eyes saw all of the rest of the nobles do the same.

"It's time to eat for you as well Little Zero." A tiny shiver wracked the small body from the deep voice near his ear. Zero turned to look at Kaname with wide eyes but was bemused when he saw the worried expression upon the pureblood's face. "Hmm. It seems that you are still cold. Hurry and eat this soup."

Zero warily eyed the spoonful of soup hovering in front of his face. He really did not wish to be fed by the Kuran male either but the broth smelled delicious so slowly he leaned forward and ate. Then the messy dinner began.
