Turned back

Chapter 2

Yuki and Cross both walked into the kitchen to see Zero with a baby attached to his shirt. Zero looked up at the two and stood up from the seat he was sitting in making the baby softly jolt awake.

"Uh Zero why do you have a baby?" Yuki asked tilting her head to the side curiously. Cross was jumping around everywhere and was just about ready to have a heart attack from how cute the baby was. Zero went to hand the baby of to Yuki but Kaname held a firm grip of Zero's shirt as a sign he didn't want to let go of him.

Zero looked down and held his pointed finger out to Kaname making Kaname look at it in curiosity and reached his tiny hand out and latched onto Zeros finger. Kaname brought his other small hand up so it was also latched onto Zero's finger. Yuki grabbed Kaname by his tiny waist and pulled him off of Zero making Kaname's small hands slip from Zero's finger.

"Oh your so cute! What's his name Zero?" Yuki asked and looked over at Zero with her wide eye's. "His name is Kaname....Kaname Kuran." Zero stated making Yuki and Cross freeze. "Wait so this is....Kaname?" Yuki asked, inspecting the baby closely. "Yeah Aido forced me to look after him. Apparently Aido turned Kaname back into a baby." Zero stated making Yuki giggle and Cross break out into happy tears.

"Zero can I keep him." Yuki asked curiously making Zero scratch the back of his head. "Well sure-" Zero was cut off from the loud crying coming from Kaname. Everyone turned towards the pureblood baby to see him crying at the top of his lungs. "There there Kaname mommy Yuki is gonna look after you." Yuki stated as she bounced the baby gently in her arms. This only made Kaname cry harder.

"Give him here." Zero said and then watched as Yuki handed Kaname back to him. "Why are you crying?" Zero asked as he looked down at the baby who was wailing loudly in his arms. Kaname opened his watery eye's to see Zero and his wailing turned into loud sniffs. Kaname once again clung to Zero's shirt with his tiny hands.

"Aww Kaname probably thinks your his mommy, Zero." Cross stated happily, Zero's left eye twitched in annoyance as he looked at the over happy Cross. "Well I'm not his mommy and I need to get to class soon, can you take him Cross?" Zero asked making Cross nod. "It's best if he is sleeping though, he'll start to cry and you wont hear the end of it." Cross stated making Zero nod in agreement. "I'm going to my room it's quiet there." Zero stated and walked off to his room leaving Cross and Yuki behind to eat their breakfast.

Zero stared at Kaname who was on his lap looking around his room curiously with his big crimson eyes. "Kaname." Zero called making the baby look at him with his big eye's. Zero raised his hand and stroked Kaname's short brown hair, it was so soft under his fingers and palm. Zero sighed and then looked at his alarm clock beside the him to see it was around 7:01am. Zero picked the baby up from his lap and stood up, Kaname snuggled into Zero's chest tiredly and looked up at Zero as if waiting for Zero to do something.

"Rock-a-bye, baby on the treetop. When the wind blows the cradle will rock. When the bough breaks, the cradle will fall, and down will come baby, cradle and all. Baby is drowsing, Cosy and fair. Mother sits near, in her rocking chair. Forward and back, the cradle she swings, and though the baby sleeps he hears what she sings." Zero sang and looked down to see Kaname sleeping yet again in his arms.

Zero stroked Kaname's hair again and walked out of the room and down to the kitchen where Yuki and Cross had just finished eating breakfast. Zero handed the sleeping baby peacefully over to Cross who gently took the baby into his own arms and rocked the baby gently. Cross then watched as Yuki and Zero both left for their classes.

--2 Hours later--

Zero looked down at his blank book. He couldn't think of anything other then how Kaname was going. Letting his worry for the baby get the best of him Zero accidentally snapped the pencil in his hand making Yuki who was sitting beside Zero look at him. "Zero are you okay you looked worried over something?" Yuki stated and tilted her head to the side.

"It's nothing I need to go." Zero said and then ran out of the classroom making all the students including the teacher look at him curiously as he left the classroom and took off down the hall to who knows where.

Zero made it to Crosses house to hear the sound of a baby crying at the top of it's lungs. Zero barged through the door and seen as Cross bounced the crying Kaname in his arms. Out of instinct Kaname turned his head to the door to see Zero and reached out to him with his tiny hands. Zero walked forwards somewhat quickly and took the baby out of Crosses arms. Kaname latched onto Zero's shirt and cried into his chest as he felt Zero protectively wrap his arms around him.

"What did you do to him?" Zero asked Cross and narrowed his eye's at him. "I swear I did nothing! I smiled at him and he started crying." Cross stated making Zero roll his eye's and look down at the baby who was crying in his chest. "Have you fed him yet?" Zero asked and got a no from Cross, sighing Zero walked into the kitchen and poured some milk into a plastic cup. "Kaname." Zero called making the baby look up at him with his teary eye's. Zero held the plastic cup up to Kaname's lips making the baby look at it as he sniffled loudly. "Drink, I got some baby food for you in the fridge you must be thirsty from all the crying you have been doing." Zero stated and the baby began to drink the milk slowly until finishing the cup and looking up at Zero.

Zero flashed a rare smile down at the baby pureblood in his arms as Zero seen milk dribbling down Kaname's chin. Zero wiped the milk away from the baby's chin and edges of his mouth and pulled out the baby food carefully. After setting Kaname on the bench gently with one hand on his waist to keep him there Zero grabbed a spoon and got a bit of baby food onto the spoon and help in to Kaname's lips. Kaname turned his head away from the spoon with a blank face as if telling Zero he didn't want to eat it. "Kaname eat your baby food or I will." At this Kaname looked at Zero with curiosity and watched as Zero put the spoon in his mouth and eat the baby food.

Zero got another spoon of baby food and was about to eat it until Kaname made whiny baby sounds. Zero chuckled before holding the spoon up to Kaname's lips making Kaname stare at Zero as Kaname opened his mouth to let the spoon in. "Good boy." Zero praised and took the empty spoon out of the pureblood's mouth before doing the actions over and over again until the baby food was all gone.

Zero picked Kaname up and pulled him to his chest so that Kaname's chin was resting gently on Zero's shoulder. With one hand under Kaname's bottom Zero raised his other hand and patted the baby's back making Kaname do a burp. Zero pulled Kaname away from his chest and looked at him. "You need a bath." Zero stated and then held the baby close to him as he exited the kitchen and headed to the bathroom where he was going to bath the baby pureblood.
