AN: I have a lot of ideas for this alternate universe but I don't think I can fit it in this story, so I will write it in a separate story. Btw, Kaname's familiar is not alive. They act like one and they probably forget that they are not alive anymore.

As usual, my eng is rusty. I haven't used it much. I'll try to improve though I'm actually learning Japanese now so all my languages will probably become bad.

The Present

2 years later, Zero is 13 years old.

A prime age of puberty.

From a naive and cuddly child, Zero became awkward. He talked less BUT he still smiled a lot. He became jumpy and tensed around Kaname. He was especially seen freezing up during skinship. One could see that he was starting to feel self conscious.

Zero was getting used to living with them. He also played less and always on his own, hiding in a corner or a room. Additionally, he was always in the library, reading books. The older he got, the less he tried to escape, although the time he was away grew longer once he tried to escape. Zero was better at getting away and hiding his presence from Kaname.

He ran away but he never tried to find his family anymore, he knew it was not safe. He ran randomly to a new city instead. Sometimes, it was more of an adventure than running away.

Zero arrived at an ice cream truck one day. He left home around 4 hours ago. Today's 'runaway' was not that hard, Kaname didn't follow him. It was still around noon, he was probably still asleep. Today's 'runaway' agenda was not an urgent matter.

Being together with Kaname for 3 years, Zero had figured out Kaname's pattern. If Zero ran away, Kaname wouldn't come after him right away. He did when Zero was little but since last year, Kaname changed.

Zero thought it was because the brunette was not interested in the cat and mouse game chase anymore but no, it was not related to interest. Kaname was observing him and he had come to a conclusion. What it was, Zero could only guess. He guessed that Kaname was testing him. As long as Zero was not running to his house, going back to his family, to leave Kaname for someone else, Kaname would let him have some freedom.

The vampire would let him roam around, as long as Zero was not to leave him.

Zero didn't know how Kaname knew his intention or how he measured Zero's reason for breaking out of the castle, but the vampire just knew.

Also to make sure he won't get injured or Kaname injuring anyone, Zero had to be mindful of Kaname's mood. His mood or his state of mind.

Zero just had to make sure Kaname was stable before he went out. With that condition, Zero would be left alone for some time. Then during that time, Zero would roam around places and experience new stuff.

Also, Kaname started giving him allowance. It was like he approved of Zero's little adventure. However, Kaname was a lonely guy so he would want Zero back at his side after some time. That was the vibe Zero got from the vampire. He didn't know if it was true, but for now that was what he thought Kaname's little action meant.

"Young lad, here is your pistachio mint ice-cream." the uncle behind the counter handed his ice cream. Zero thanked him then he walked away.

It's around noon right now, the sun was straight up above his head. Zero didn't bring an umbrella and it was hot today. Zero was sweating. He wore the wrong choice of clothes today. The morning in the forest was cold so Zero wore a white sweater but now he was in the city, the sun was right above his head, it was getting really hot.

Licking the ice -cream, Zero walked out the park. He walked along a street with heavy shade, it helped cool his body.

Today had some breeze, it was getting more comfortable. Zero stopped by a school next, a middle school. It was quiet. The students were still in school.

Suddenly, Zero heard the bell ring then a few minutes later it got noisier. Students poured out the school. Girls and boys, all in school uniform. Black sailor for girls and black gakuran for boys. They looked happy as they left school.

There were groups of friends, discussing games and foods. There were some girls and boys running after each other. There were some on bikes and some calmly having a chat. It looked fun. Today was supposed to be a month or so since the new semester started.

Zero then heard people running, shouting with spirit. They were probably the baseball club running as part of their training. 'Club activity, that sounded fun.'

Zero finished his ice cream and sneaked into school. He didn't go through the main entrance and instead jumped the wall. He let his feet take him through school. He saw the archery club next. The activity fascinated him, archery also looked fun.

He turned left next, going inside the school. He walked past the art club, students were getting ready for their club activity. They were putting up stuff, preparing canvas and the sketch modal, Zero was guessed.

Next, Zero visits a few more clubs. It was a new experience. Zero guessed if he was still in school, this type of thing would be how his daily day would be. It was a bit weird to have a life differently from others. Before, he thought he would go to middle school then high school, university and finally work.

He didn't expect his life to be so different from others.

Lastly, Zero walked past a music room. Someone was in there, playing a violin and another was by the piano. Little sound escaped the room, Zero recognized the piece as Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy. He stood there, listening to the little piece. It was good.

"You like classical music, Zero?" suddenly a voice startled Zero into swirling around, and hitting his back against the door. A boy, almost the same height as him entered his vision. His pair of wine orbs sparkling with interest.

Zero's heartbeat was beating a bit fast as confusion entered his mind. A kid who looked like Kaname was talking to him, calling his name. Where did he come from? Zero didn't feel his presence. How did he know his name? Why does he look familiar?

"Kaname?" he tried. The beaming expression from the teen confirmed Zero's suspicion. Zero immediately grabbed the other's cheeks, checking him up and down. "You're a kid." he exclaimed.

Kaname nodded. "It's an illusion." He snapped his finger and a miniature Ruka appeared in his palm.

'Ah, so it was Ruka's power.'

Kaname's familiars were not all vampires, they were other creatures who made contact with Kaname. Ruka was a fairy and from what Kaname was saying, illusion could be her power. Mythical creatures can make contact with each other. They did so as a sign of trust or loyalty and some did it in exchange for favour.

Kaname has 6 familiars in total. They are Fairy, Dragon, Yuki-onna, Raiju, Vampire, and alchemist ghost. Zero found this out when he was reading in the library. He asked the servants about their identity. When he found out, he was intrigued because Zero couldn't see their identity. His sixth sense usually could see stuff like ghosts and other identities of the undead. However, undead like familiars were a bit hard to guess.

Kaname snapped his finger again and Ruka disappeared. He then took Zero's hand in his, linking their fingers together. They started walking down the corridor, leaving the music room.

"So, you like classical?" Kaname asked.

Zero nodded his head. "That piece, It sounded sad but lovely. I like it."

Kaname smiled and they continued to chat until they left school. Today was an uneventful chasing game so Zero managed to return back to the castle without injury, exhaustion or argument with Kaname.

Upon returning to the castle, Zero immediately went to the bathroom to take a bath. He felt sticky. Today was too humid for his liking. Then, after getting dressed in a pyjamas, Zero left his room. Right now, he felt the need to play an instrument.

Last time, Zero found a music room in the castle. It was left like an exhibition, it felt abandoned. Zero had asked if Kaname played an instrument and whose room was it. The adult just smiled but didn't say anything so Zero asked Takuma.

Takuma told him that Kaname didn't play any instruments. That room was not Kaname's nor was it a room of any servants.

"It was the room of the previous castle owner. This castle was given to Kaname as a gift."

A pale palm pulled down the door handle, pushing the big brown door as he entered the music room. 'A gift. Kaname sure has a rich friend. Do people usually just give a castle to other people?' The light was switched on . 'Or was it his parents?' The sight of a piano at the centre of the room entered his vision but Zero didn't go towards it.

He was delighted when he had discovered this room a few months ago. There was a piano and violins. By the walls, there were cupboards of music scores and theory books. Lately, there are also classical CDs and DVDs. Hanabusa by Kaname's order; bought a stereo system and installed it at the corner of the room. The room began to be filled with modern gadgets. When Zero first found the room, it really had this old feeling and fanciness. Zero was almost afraid of touching anything, scared if he was to break something priceless.

Zero took out his violin from its case. He prepared his bow and tuned the violin. Ichiru and him were interested in music and their parents did send them to music class. They learnt how to play the piano but unlike Ichiru who was only interested in piano, Zero changed to violin.

They had fun being a duet for each other. Ichiru, though, started to play more modern songs on the piano than classical pieces. He especially likes to play anime songs and Zero was no exception. It was fun, 'Ah~I missed Ichiru.'

Zero played something. The pieces at school just now remind Zero of something. He played it. Clair de Lune by Claude Debussy, it sounded so nostalgic. Zero couldn't put it into words but it was like he forgot about something and when he tried to recall it, he still couldn't remember.

The music changed. It was no longer the same piece. Zero frowned. What was it? What is this piece?

Zero was playing randomly. It was like composing a piece but somehow Zero felt like he played this before, he knew this piece though.

The teen continued to push himself. He was confused but at the same time felt like he played the piece a dozen times before. He never played it before and he was playing so well for something he didn't know about.

Kaname was taking a shower when he heard it. A slow, sad violin piece. Kaname laid back in the tub, listening to it. The music room was not sound proof but it was far enough that it won't cause problems for normal people. Kaname could hear it well.

However, the sound changed. It went from sad and beautiful to something more glassy and whistling. Kaname's eyes widened. He stood up, water splashing everywhere.

That sound, that piece.

'Impossible'

Kaname arrived at the room in no time and the room was rudely pushed open. Kaname rushed into the room and looked around. Zero's little figure entered his line of vision.

Zero too noticed his figure. His eyes roamed at him, sharp and a small frown grazed his features. His little fingers were still stringing the violin and the bow moved slowly. The crystal sound emphasized Zero's eyes gleaming at him.

'Bathump'

Kaname couldn't help himself from grabbing the child's arm, stopping the violin playing instantly.

He could only hear his own breathing in the quietness of the room. Zero lifted his face, his eyes looking at him impassively.

"Ze--ro?"

The air was hard to breathe in. 'What is this? The atmosphere felt different. Zero too… he looked different.'

"You'll catch a cold." His voice was deep and cold, surprising the vampire. "Kaname."

'Bathump'

"Zero?" Kaname stooped down. His hand released Zero's wrist and cupped the child's cheek. Is it another illusion? He wanted to make sure but Zero felt real. Zero is warm.

However, the next minute he was out cold.

Except for that one time at Zero's house when Kaname took him, old Zero had never appeared again.

'Not enough. Zero is still dormant.' Kaname frowned.

'What was it that triggered his awakening?' Kaname questioned. His eyes moved towards an old book on the table. It was a really old book, hard covered and brown, the paper was yellow. It also had a burn side to it. It looked beat.

Kaname took it in his hand and opened it. It was Zero's journal. He didn't write much but he wrote about what he experienced, who he met and what he liked. There was nothing much about his anger. He was content with his life.

Under the moonlight, Kaname traced the entry. It was the day before Zero was killed. The plague didn't worry Zero but he was worried about Ichiru. Kaname was sick too and he was recovering. The kingdom was in a state of half fear and half unconcerned. The plague only affected the vampires so humans were still living their life like usual. Kaname crossed his legs, then resting his cheek on his knuckle. He stared at the last entry. Not much was written.

Kaname flipped through the journal and stopped randomly.

He traced the paper. "Why do Zero like school so much?" the vampire chuckled.

That night, after tucking Zero in bed, Kaname called his servants over. At first he was talking to Takuma and after reaching an agreement, he called the other.

"I want to enrol Zero into middle school," he said right away. Takuma refilled his tea cup. Today tea is strawberry tea. It was a bit sweet.

"A middle school, master?" Akatsuki questioned. His eyebrow just rose higher than ever.

"Yes and let's make it next week." Kaname sipped some tea. "Mugen middle school. It's in the next city, north."

Hanabusa took his phone out and used the map apps. He found out Mugen middle school was around an hour by foot, 20 minutes by car.

"Takuma will handle the paperwork to enter school, Ruka will make the uniform and buy any school requirement. Senri, Rima and Hanabusa, you three will enter school with Zero."

Takuma said okay, Ruka accepted her work excitedly, Rima and Senri just nodded their head after giving each other a look and Hanabusa was standing in stupor.

"Going to school??? But I don't like school." Hanabusa whined, looking white. The last time he was schooled, he didn't like one bit of it. His school was too rigid.

"Don't worry. It's not like you need to be good in that school. You only need to watch over Zero during his time there." Kaname assured him.

That reassured Hanabusa a bit. He thought about it more, "Aren't you going there too, Kaname-sama?"

Kaname shook his head. "I don't like school either," he smiled.

Zero was 13 and things had been different. This year is a bit different. This year, Kaname had enrolled Zero into middle school.

Suspicious…

It was suspicious.

Zero narrowed his eyes towards the pureblood when he was told about it.

For almost 3 years, Kaname was adamant of keeping him by his side all the time, playing games like cat and mouse if Zero ever managed to escape the manors. Always, no matter how good he got in running away and hiding, Kaname would manage to find him somehow. Even using the magic he learnt in the library, Zero still hadn't managed to hide for long from the vampire.

'What is he planning?'

Zero observed the vampire. His wine orbs were looking at him, his expression unreadable.

"Why? How about the entrance exam?" In fact, it was already a month since school started.

There was a smile as Kaname lazily leaned into the couch. "No need to worry." He opened his arms, beckoning Zero towards him.

"Come here."

Zero tensed, pursing his lips as he obeyed. It was not like he disliked the skinship. However, he doesn't know why lately, he felt awfully embarrassed being near the vampire when he asked for it. It usually wasn't that noticeable but once he was conscious about it, he sometimes wanted to rebel. He didn't want to listen. He wanted to go against Kaname.

'Was it puberty?' Zero didn't know. He never felt like this before.

Zero climbed onto Kaname's lap. Puffing and crossing his arms against his chest, he leaned his head against Kaname's chest. Kaname proceeded to hug him and Zero was surrounded by warmth instantly. He mewed, getting comfortable, leaning into the hugs. It's so comfortable. He soon forgot his little trouble.

Peeking by the door were Takuma and Hanabusa.

"Hm… to think that Zero-sama was like this before he grew into that cranky sadist."

Takuma spurted, he too agreed. Old Zero's personality was really the opposite of the sweet child in their care although he sometimes showed Old Zero's quality.

"He was not that bad." Takuma tried to be considerate.

They exchanged glances. It was ridiculous. Old Zero was an adventurer pureblood together with his twin, Ichiru. They had no family obligation or status like Kaname, who was a royal and a king. They were free roaming individuals. Ichiru was a true adventurer, going everywhere looking for mystery and treasure meanwhile Old Zero; instead of being an adventurer, he was more of Ichiru's guardian. In other words, he was Ichiru's bodyguard. Unlike Zero; a high level vampire, Ichiru didn't develop his vampirism to a high level. He was comfortable with staying as he was; resilient enough not to die easily like humans but not that strong that people would chase after him and challenge him.

Those times when only humans and vampires were famously known, Ichiru found it fascinating to discover other living things. Animals, plants, mermaid, fairy, ghost, dragon and treasure, he would be interested in anything. His interest however lies in legends and chimera, a rare creature. They would travel to places with bad rumour or death, just to find out what it was about. Sometimes, he stuck his head in criminal shady business and had to have Zero rescuing him.

He also had bad luck too so Zero was always worried about his twin. He was so involved in his brother's life that people started to say he had a brother complex. He didn't deny it. They had nothing in their life and Ichiru was his only blood relative.

Anyway, it was actually Ichiru's tendency to travel around and stuck his nose in other people's business that they all had the chance to meet Old Zero and Kaname. Wherever there was Zero, Kaname would be there.

Shiki was already by Kanmae's side from birth since they were cousins and from his story; Kaname met Zero around the age 13. Zero accidentally entered the castle ground when he was looking for his brother. Kaname, like usual, was being bullied by Rido, his uncle and Zero kicked Rido in the head, rescuing Kaname. Since then, Kaname had been fascinated with the older vampire.

Takuma met Zero when Ichiru found his abandoned laboratory. Takuma was an alchemist, something went wrong during one of his experiments and he died. He was eaten by his chimera. It was unfortunate, Takuma thought. At that time, Takuma had just died so his soul was lingering around there. Zero caught him and wanted to give him to Ichiru. Ichiru said he wanted to talk. However, because Ichiru was not strong enough, he couldn't see Takuma. Zero gave Takuma the dirtiest look because he had died too early.

He thought of turning Takuma into a familiar by making a contract. With a contract, he could make Takuma materialized into something visible to the naked eyes. However, Zero didn't like being followed, so he pushed Takuma to Kaname. Kaname at that time was around 17 years old. He had a contract with Senri and Takuma was the second. It was a coincidence that Kaname was there. Zero saw him and pulled him into the abandoned laboratory. Kaname didn't fuss, he just followed Zero and let Zero do whatever.

At that time, Takuma wondered if Kaname was really his King.

Meanwhile, for Hanabusa, he was beaten, caught and tied up by Zero because he was making too much snow that his brother was getting sick. Ichiru at that time heard about the male Yuki-onna (snow lady). It was said that male Yuki-onna was rare. It was not that they were not born but the only one with ice power in the bloodline was female. Therefore, male with ice power were rare. It was like male calico cat. It was that rare and Ichiru couldn't pass the opportunity to meet with one.

However, Hanabusa was sulking about something at that time and he had made the city an ice city. He was unlucky because at that time, the Kiryuu twins were already in the city. Ichiru was healthy but it was too cold and it was too long, many of the inhibitors of the city had turned into ice. Ichiru suddenly fell sick because he couldn't stand the cold and Zero was angry. He went out and hunted Hanabusa.

Hanabusa trembled at the memory. "I like this Zero more than the old Zero."

Takuma and Hanabusa walked away. Then Hanabusa remembered his new mission. "Senri, Rima and I are going to school with Zero in a week." he mulled. "Do you know why Kaname-sama is suddenly being lenient?" For almost 3 years, their master had been keeping Zero on a tight leash. Not only that, some people were injured if Zero disappeared during one of their master's bad times.

Takuma blinked. "You do know, it wasn't like Kaname wanted to lock Zero-kun in here right?"

Hanabusa gave him a look of 'It doesn't look like it though.'

The taller blond sighed, agreeing. "I don't know if this is a good idea." Takuma scratched his head. "Kaname isn't stable. You and I know that very well. Lately, he seemed really reasonable though… as long as there is no trigger, he will be alright."

Hanabusa's sharp eyes caught Takuma's. "There will be a big accident." Just like Zero's parents' incident. No one talked about it in the castle but everyone knew. Kaname and Zero came back with blood all over them; too much to consider minor injury and non-lethal. They smelt strongly of something similar to Zero.

Senri, who is a vampire, could guess right away whose blood it was. Those time; a few years ago were bad. Kaname and Zero didn't talk for 2 months. Zero had nightmares almost everyday until Kaname did something. Zero stopped having nightmares and the two slowly went back to normal.

He couldn't deny it. Takuma awkwardly tried to lift the air, "Then I guess you guys are there to make sure it doesn't happen."

Omake

The Past

Zero sighed the umpteen times, 'that little shit of a brother. Where has he gone now?'

Pushing aside a branch, Zero glanced around the area. He was in a tree-densed area but it wasn't a forest. The surrounding was cared for. There were no weeds and no animals sound too. The birds were chirping though and it smelt sweet. There probably is a flowers garden around here.

Suddenly he heard some people talking and felt a familiar aura. Zero dreaded, 'why is that man here?'

Zero wanted to leave. That person was someone he did not not have a great time dealing with and they had some bad blood with each other. However, he could sense a distressed aura from one of the duo.

Zero swirled back and he approached the two high level vampires. Rido's dark brown locks appeared in sight and his back was towards Zero. He was preoccupied with the other. Approaching them, Zero could hear the quiet sob from the other person.

'Ah, damn.' Rido was bullying someone again. Zero felt irritated, he still hasn't forgiven that heterochromia vampire since the last time they crossed paths. He picked up his pace and soon, he started to run, then he jumped and round-kicked Rido's head.

The older vampire didn't notice him thus it was late to dodge Zero's foot, when it connected to his temple. Rido crashed into the surrounding trees causing the area to be destroyed.

He landed on the ground and he turned sharpy to the bully victim, Zero coughed. A big pair of brown orbs decorated with tears looked up at Zero and Zero swore he choked on his breath.

A pretty brunette, that's what the boy was. Rido was already ridiculously good looking but this boy was pretty and good looking. Is this boy another Kuran? Brown locks, wine orbs and that good looking gene, the boy had to be a Kuran.

'Haruka and Juri had a boy, is this kid Kaname? He sure grew up good.'

"Than--k!" the child wanted to say.

"Fucking Zero!!!" Rido kicked his way in, Zero dodged. "Why are you here?"

"Still a bully like always, Rido." Zero stood 2 feet away from the fuming heterochromia vampire.

"I'm not." Rido looked smug. "Where's your twin? Croaked already?"

Zero frowned. He moved his hand and Rido was flung away. He whispered a spell and Rido was tied up with a binding spell as he flew into a distance.

"I told you not to talk about my twin like that." he sighed. "That guy never learnt." Zero then turned and almost jumped when the big pair of wine orbs were looking up at him again. His small knuckle was grabbing at Zero's clothes.

"Thank you." The small teen said and Zero nodded in reply. He then waited for that kid to let go of his clothes but he just stayed silently there, looking up at him.

Zero sweat dropped. "Let go of my clothes, child."

The teen did as he was told and Zero walked away. He walked 10 steps before he stopped again. He whirled around and saw the little dude was following him. Zero raised an eyebrow before he disappeared in a blink of an eye.

Kaname flinched but he couldn't follow Zero. He was left alone in the palace's garden and his eyes were tearing again.

Ichiru noticed something. He glanced back again, he didn't see him but from Zero's twitching eye, Ichiru knew they were being followed.

Ichiru was separated from his twin for an hour. They were heading to the castle to greet the new King and finishing some other business but on the way there, Ichiru followed a little red hair into a forest. That kid had something interesting in their arms, a pet or some sort. A wavy fur dog like animal with 3 small horns. Its soft looking tail was swaying with electric spark.

Ichiru didn't say anything and followed the kid. He thought his brother would notice and follow him like usual but Zero didn't, that was how Zero lost him near the castle. They also didn't see the new King today. It was already late and the attendance couldn't find their king. They thought they'll come again tomorrow.

"Nii-san."

"It's Juri's brat."

"Eh, Kaname? He knew us?" Ichiru was confused. The last time they visited Haruka and Juri was when Kaname was born. He was an infant at that time, there was no way that kid knew them.

"No, we met earlier." Zero answered shortly but then remembered something. "But isn't he the king?"

Ichiru nodded. "Yeah, Kaname is the new King and Rido is still the general."

Zero stopped, jumped back and picked someone out of the bushes. The teen didn't move and Zero held him by the back of his shirt like a cat. For a growing teen, Kaname was still small and light. He still hasn't hit his growth spurt.

"Don't you have work to do? Why are you following us?" Zero put him down and the child turned to the adult, his eyes were beaming.

"What's your name, Mister? It was so cool when you beat Uncle Rido."

Compared to the incident that just happened, Kaname's personality was brighter. He smiled so big that Zero was afraid the child was going to strain something.

"Uncle Rido is strong. I never saw anyone stronger than him! You're strong, mister! Be my master, please!"

A jumble of words left the child and Ichiru was laughing his ass off, Zero was surprised. The pure respect and admiration in the child's eyes were so genuine, Zero couldn't look away.

"You're funny, kid!" Ichiru continued to laugh. He was rolling on the ground. "Master." It was too abrupt. It was funny. They heard about Kaname from Juri because they had been exchanging letters for a few years now. From the letter, Juri spoke about how quiet and soft Kaname was but right now, Kaname was really bold and ridiculous… and loud too.

How can a King ask a stranger to be his master? What kind of master too? A teacher or does Kaname want to be his familiar?

"I refused." Zero objected. But actually he came to the kingdom because of a request from the former King and Queen. Zero had agreed to be the royal tutor when Kaname was born. The duration of being a royal tutor was not discussed but Zero thought he would just teach Kaname a few things, travel and come back if he had more things to teach.

It was a friendly request, and Zero had agreed to it but he hadn't had time until now. Ichiru decided to take a break too from his adventure to write about what he found. He hadn't had time to complete his writing of his discovery. These situations have led them both to take a break. However, this arrangement would happen only if Kaname agreed to accept him as the royal tutor. Zero would mostly teach spells and combat ability.

Kaname flinched, his eyes brimming with tears. Ah, this crybaby. Juri had told them about this too. Apparently, it was because Rido's constant pranks and teasing since he was little, had made Kaname a bit sensitive. Juri and Haruka's constant spoiling and babying him didn't help either. The only good thing about the child that was King worthy was his soft heart and bright head. Kaname was a great strategist and diplomat.

Zero and Ichiru exchanged glances. "Hey, don't go crying yet." Ichiru spoke in concern. "Nii-san was just kidding."

Kaname blinked, the tears pooling in his big brown eyes fell down his cheeks. His innocent side was glaring at them. Zero felt like he had to look away. How did this kid survive being a king; and in this big Kingdom too? Won't the ministries already chew him off the throne?

Zero had seen many kingdoms and their king already. The naive and innocent usually get used or break. It was distasteful to watch.

Stopping his train of thought, Zero spoke next. "Good thing you are here though… we came here to see you. We have something to relay to you." Zero gave Kaname a letter with the royal crest.

Kaname took it and read through it. His face quickly gained colour and he was brimming so bright, he could rival the sun. Zero and Ichiru comically shielded their eyes.

"I agree!" The enthusiasm was clear.

Zero smiled. He knelt, Ichiru too and they lowered their head. "I'm glad to hear that, your highness. I'll be in your care," the older twin politely claimed.

And that was how they met and Zero became Kaname's teacher.

To be continued…

Review please…

AN: Idk much about classical stuff but I watched Twosetviolin (two professional violin youtubers). Ruka liked to sew, I found out so I will be using that fact.
