The Kuran Twins

RW Chapter One

Haruka's POV five years earlier

I, surprisingly, survived the attack Rido blowed on me. Luckily, the vampire hunter's sword missed my heart, but only by a little. The only problem is, Kaname believes I have died. I don't know whether or not I should let him know I'm still alive.

Instead of telling him, I allow myself to find Juri, my sweet little sister and my beloved wife. I walk back into the Manor, following the scent of blood. I reach the hallway in the basement and notice the blood stained floor. The body in the middle of the blood makes my blood run cold and I reach it. Kneeling down, I pick up Juri and bring her close to me.

I brush the strands of her light brown hair out of her pale face and sigh in dismay.

"Oh, Juri." I whisper, wiping some of the blood away from her face.

Her eyes open slowly and weakly, staring up at me dully. A small smile split her face and her hand reached shakily up to my face.

"Haru... ka..." She whispered up to me.

"Yes, what is it?" I ask and put my forehead on hers.

"I did it." She replied. "She's... human now. She should be... safe." She smiled in gratitude and closed her eyes in content.

"Yes, you did do it. But... at the cost of your life." I say and the tears began to fall down my face. "Please don't go Juri. I don't know what I'd do without you."

She brushed the tears from my face and leaned up for a kiss. Her lips captured mine and I could feel what she felt. It was a final kiss goodbye. She pulled away and looked at me with half lidded eyes.

"Don't worry, Haruka." She started. "I'm sure you'll be okay. Make yourself a new life out there. I'm not telling you to forget me, but you should move on, please... make me proud... big brother."

"Wait, Juri," I state, making sure her eyes are open. "Where is Yuki?"

"I... don't know... she probably left the Manor already." She replied, her eyes slowly closing. "I love you, big brother." She said and fell limp in my arms.

I kiss the top of her forehead. "I love you too, little sis." I say before her body explodes into particles of dust.

Whith one last goodbye, I stood up and exited the Manor in search of Yuki and Kaname. The blizzard has gotten worse than before, covering up the blood in the snow from prying eyes.

When I do spot them, I notice that Yuki was alone at first and a level E vampire was making its way over to her. I was about to interfere when Kaname killed the vampire himself. He helped Yuki up from the ground and smiled down at her, walking in the opposite direction.

I smile at the scene, knowing that the two of them would be alright. Maybe now, I'll be able to mourn over the loss of my dear sister. So that's exactly what I begin to do.

Begining to walk south, I walk for days, mulling over the life that I lived. Remembering the day that Juri was born. The day that we found that we'd be married just like our mother and father had. That awful day when our big brother turned evil and killed our parents. The day that mine and Juri's eldest was stolen from us, and most likely killed by our brother. The day we reawakened Kaname, an ancestor of our blood who is like my own child. I remember the day that Yuki was born, and mine and Juri's plan to protect her. To not allow her into the outside world. Then, the recollection of what happened today. All of it, pounding on the inside of my skull like their was no tomorrow.

My feet began to hurt, and I couldn't figure out what it was I was supposed to be doing with my life anymore. How long have I been walking? Where am I? What happened to all the snow? Why is it so warm?

I soon began to sense the things around me and felt a pureblood nearby. Focusing my eyes, I take a look around, trying to locate the source. When I finally do, I notice that it was a female, and she began to walk towards me.

She had long, silver hair that flowed in the wind. She had bright blue eyes that seem to capture everything and everyone. She looked curious, but worried at the same time. Almost generally... concerned.

"I never thought I'd see another Pureblood," she started in a light voice. "Especially one that seems so lost."

"I'm not... lost." I said, my voice slightly scratching after not using it in a while. She smiled sadly my way.

"Don't worry, I think I know what you're going through." She brought me into a big hug, her height causing her head to only reach my collarbone. She laid her head on my chest and sighed. "The loss of a loved one, yeah? I just lost the love of my life to some rouge vampires. I... can't remember how long ago it was. But it feels good to talk about it to someone. Even a complete stranger."

Tear stains began to stain my shirt, but I couldn't move. My own tears began to fall down my face, and I cried silently. She looked up and noticed me crying, wiping my tears away. Just like Juri did.

"D-Don't be sad." She said. "M-Maybe... I can take care of you, yeah? You could take care of me as well."

"I-I... don't know..." I say, staring off into the distance.

"We can get through this together. Only, if you don't mind." She took a step away from me and bowed. "Sorry for not introducing myself when we met. My name is Natalia Utsukushii, it's nice to meet you."

"I'm... Haruka Kuran. The pleasure is all mine." I reply and bow as well.

"So... do you... maybe... want to come live with me?" She asks, slightly nervous. "I mean, you look like you don't have a home, so I just thought I would..."

"No, it's alright." I say, setting a hand on her shoulder. "No need to be nervous. I... think that I'll take you up on that offer."

"Really?" She asked, then smiled a little. "Uh, okay! I'll take you there!" She then grabbed my hand and began to lead me to her house.

Once we arrived, I noticed that it was a bit similar to the Kuran Manor. It had the same layout, but the color scheme and furniture were different. Navy blue and gold with a little bit of silver.

Natalia made me feel at home, more so than I first had originally thought. We sat in her room, talking about what we had experienced. Her situation was very similar to my own. It was almost identical. She was currently crying on my chest again, and I felt like I had to do something. I tilted her head upwards and saw her tear filled eyes and knew what I had to do.

I kissed her.

She seemed surprised, but accepted it. And soon, it turned into something much more. More than it should have, but we were both comforted. We both, did something that slightly shamed me since I had only done such things with Juri. But, it felt nice. Maybe I could start something new.

With Natalia.

After that night, we became lovers. Slowly, my life became a little more lively, and I was able to move on. I of course still mourned over the loss of my sister, as did Natalia her husband, but I'm making a new life for myself. Just as she wished.

It had been a couple of months since I met Natalia and we were cuddling on the sofa. She sat in my lap, her head resting on my chest and my arms wrapped around her in a hug.

"Haruka?" She asks me, looking up at my face.

"What is it, Natalia?" I ask with a smile.

"I just found out that I'm pregnant. With twins."

This is really happening. A new life. A new family. A new chance at happiness.

This is it, and it's happening to me.

This is so much better than the original chapter one! Much longer and gets rid of a little bit of confusion some of you may have had. I hope you guys like the revised version of the story so far.

Peace out!
