Summary: he had cheated on her with someone else. Broken inside, she fled, never wanting to see him again. A year later, everything changed, but is it for the better or for the worse? Two child bore from two mothers but had the same father. A story on how they had their daily lives.

A/N: hello, everyone! Another story for you. Though i like Yuuki, i wouldn't want her to be the bad girl either. Anyways, i hope you like it! Juri and Haruka aren't dead here even Ichiru isn't. Okay, some of the characters who died in the anime are alive here, am i clear?

Disclaimer: i do not own vampire knight.

Warning/s: some ooc-ness! Some bashings here and there, bad language, etc. oh, and zero is a girl!

Brief summary of what happened: zero and Kaname were happile married for three years now. They do have some rocky downsides but they would always fix it up. They had been having their best days until after a few months later just after their marriage. She didn't know what it was until after a few years later. Ichiru would always come by and visit, not that he cannot. And her relationship with Kaname's inner circle had been going good since they started to accept her with their leader. They all knew something that Zero doesn't especially that it concerns Kaname. But, that didn't mean that she'll never know of it.

So, without further a do...

Start!

It all started on our anniversary day... Our third anniversary, too...

Zero

I had been quite happy today. This day is a special day. I had a small smile on my face, thinking all about this.

Kring... Kring...

I blinked a bit as I looked at my phone. It was from Ichiru!

To: nee-chan

From: Ichiru

Subject: greeting

Hello, nee-chan! Happy anniversary!

-End-

I had a smile on my face as he greeted me. Later on, greeting of different kinds had been sent to me from the others. I then looked at the small wrapped box in my bedside table. My gift for him. I do hope he likes it.

Getting out of bed, I went to the bathroom to wash up.

After fixing up, she immediately went out, greeting along the maids and butlers on her way. Arriving at the dining table, I saw okaa-sama and outo-sama (Juri and Haruka) there, eating contentedly while having light conversations along. They suddenly stopped when they saw me.

"Good morning, okaa-sama, outo-sama." She greeted, bowing. The two greeted her just the same. Taking her seat, she thanked the maid who had served her breakfast.

"Anyways, happy anniversary dear. Why isn't Kaname with you?" Juri suddenly asked, looking at her. Zero just smiled at them.

"He must probably in his room, okaa-sama. He did have a tiring day at work recently." She said as she continued to eat her food. Finishing it up, she looked at them, thanked them for the meal before leaving the room, not seeing the sad glances the couple were giving her.

She stretched up high, as she went to the gardens, her favorite place. The gardens were one of her sanctuaries especially when she was stressed out all this times. She would always go here and admire the flowers, like it was keeping her away from her worries.

But, there was always the small place here that she really goes on, that no one other than her knew off, her very own special place.

Admiring the beautiful plants around, she couldn't help but think about Kaname. Would he not remember? Like he always does? Ever since they married, it was as if she was not in any way needed anymore especially after a few months after their marriage. She frowned at that. It was like she had just been used as a tool. But, he wouldn't do that, right?

She shook her head, not wanting anything to think about negative thoughts. Slowly, feeling a little bit chilly outside, she made her way in.

I had always thought that today was not like the other times, but I was wrong...

Zero sat there patiently, waiting for her husband to come. In her side was the gift she'd give him for their anniversary. It might not mean much, but it is so much for her. She knew it was a big surprise for him, even to her.

She had been very thankful enough for everyone in the mansion for preparing this special dinner just for him and her. She couldn't thank them enough. So, she waited... And waited... And waited.

She then frowned as she looked at her time. It had been an hour and he still wasn't here. Could it be that he forgot this day once again?

She continued waiting… and waiting… and waiting. She then looked at the time and was a bit shocked to see it was almost midnight.

She smiled sadly, tears falling down from her eyes. Who she was kidding, of course he wouldn't remember. He didn't remember last year. Heck, he didn't remember their first anniversary! She clenched her hands into fists wanting to punch his face like what she did once. She was tempted to do that, but she knew she couldn't. She sighed as she grabbed the gift and went out of the room. Seeing the concerned looks they were giving her, she then mustered a small smile, though it turned out bitter. Assuring them she was okay, she immediately went towards her room, locking it in the process. And they knew, she wanted nothing but to be alone.

"He didn't come this time as well, didn't he?" Juri said as she just saw Zero walking past her and into her room. Haruka just nodded at her, obviously disappointed at their son. If he knew better, he might have punched his son already.

She stayed inside her room for a few more hours before getting out, wanting to wash her face off of the tears she had cried out. Passing by her husband room, she momentarily stopped when she heard sounds coming out from there. She was wondering what it might be ignoring the dreaded feeling coming from thinking over it.

.

All those time, I thought I had given him everything, but I was wrong...

It seems everything I do is wrong...

.

Seeing the small opening from the door, she was surprised at what she saw. Her own husband... Cheating on her? How? Why? She couldn't believe it, but it was all happening in front of her. There he was, his husband inside with another woman. And he dare do it on their own anniversary. She clenched her fists, ignoring the stinging in her eyes. She had always hated being weak, but ever since... She immediately fled the sight, wanting to block everything away. From what she'd seen, she'd heard, everything. This must be just a dream! A horrible dream! But, everything else seemed real.

But, it is reality.

She froze at her thought. She was angry, livid even. From Kaname, to the woman, and to herself. But, does everyone else knew about it? She gritted her teeth. Of course they knew, how else? She had been getting softer then for not knowing all of this, and she hated that. Suddenly, she went to her cabinet, bringing out her bags and placing everything she owned there. For now, it must be best to leave, to clear her thoughts. Checking everything she had, looking if she had missed anything, she nodded to herself seeing none.

Suddenly, she grabbed her phone, calling someone.

"Hey."

"Hey, Ichiru! Mind coming over today?"

She looked at her room one last time, looking if ever she had misplaced anything before her eyes landed on the wrapped gift in her bedside table. She could only look at it before grabbing her things.

"Are you sure you're leaving today?" Juri asked, hugging the silverette. Zero could only nod as she hugged Haruka as well.

"I wanted to clear of my head, just for a while. And I'd hope for another time to come back. I promise." She said but all of them knew that might not be it. Haruka could only look at her daughter in law in sadness, clearly pissed off at his son.

"Well, you could always visit us or we could to you." He said earning himself a solemn laugh from the girl.

"Anyways, i need to go. Thank you for everything okaa-sama, outo-sama. I'll be going then."

Seeing ichiru inside the car, she placed her bags at the back before getting in the passenger's seat, smiling and waving at the old couple. With a last wave, they sped off, getting far away from the place she once called home.

A few weeks later...

.

The inner circle of Kaname came, wanting to visit the couple. Juri and Haruka told them what had happened, and though they respect him as their leader, they also couldn't help but be disappointed at him. It's been a few weeks already since she left but it seems that he didn't mind it. Not even one bit.

Hanabusa Aidou, was one of the few who admired Kaname to the point that they could call him obsessed with him. Though, a few of the ones that had not easily accepted Zero, but it only took a few before him then. But, he frowned as he looked at Kaname. Being a doctor, he knew a lot, especially for his patients. Suddenly, he could only look at him in contemplation.

"Kaname-sama, where is Zero by the way?" He suddenly asked, wondering where she was. Kaname looked at him.

"Ah, she went into another mission it seems. Though, she hadn't come back but then when i contacted her superiors they've told me it was classified and that it might take a long time to finish it." He answered and he could only look at disbelief. Had he not known?! Was he reckless?!

Then, suddenly he paused. Had she not told him about it?

Hanabusa then looked at Kaname, a bit pissed off. He wouldn't show it outwardly but his eyes tell it all. He could also feel the same to the others. Takuma merely shook his head in disappointment and even Shiki, with his now wife Rima, who was in her late pregnancy as well had been saddened and angered. Heck, even Ruka, who was carrying their first born child with Akatsuki, was clenching her fists. All of them knew apparently.

"Ah, is that so? Then, we might as well leave now Kaname-sama. I do have some important things to do. And Yuuki said hi." He said as he walked out. Kaname merely nodded.

'Oh, Kaname-sama, you don't know what you're missing on.' Mumbled Aidou as he and the others left the mansion.

-end of chapter 1-

A/N: hello, everyone! I am here again today to post a new fic for all of you! Yay! I do am very sorry if I haven't been attentive to my stories lately as I am quite busy with school and stuff. Do hope you forgive me. Gomen, ne. anyways, this idea suddenly popped out of my mind when I had been reading a very short one shot and I told myself 'hey, why don't I write something similar to this.' And I did. I was so disappointed at that one shot as it was very short and that it was a major cliffhanger. Anyways, sorry for the rant. Do review, onegai?
