    This is just the preface of the story of Rose Kiryu, the daughter of Yuki and Zero Kiryu. It’s mostly her point of view and part of her letter is sent to Zero a few days ago prior to the start of this series. Yuki and Zero point of view of each other and Rose. Just read to find out more….

    **Most of this was strikethrough, so just imagine that they are there.**

    Preface

    I remember stories that my mother used to tell me about how much she has went though with my father and my uncle. She always said that her heart was full of memories, but also, heartache. Those times when I was little, I believed everything; I mean everything she said to me. I was about, maybe five years old at the time she started to tell me stories about her relationship with my father I have never seen. My mother Yuki said, he was on a long journey and wouldn’t come back for a few years. I didn’t believe her when she said that. But, as a five year old; I did trust her with what she told me at that time. I recall how much she mentioned father and never said his name to me…every time I asked her about his name, she would say, “You are a Kiryu.” Furthermore, I would just leave it as that. Sometimes, I wish she would tell me the truth and not the half of it. It seems somewhere between their love and my birth seem to have triggered something that my own father never gets to see me or get to know me. I remember my mother said also about the origin of my name. She looked at me and started to cry and said, “You were name after your father’s weapon called ‘Bloody Rose’ and he said it represent you as being a strong individual and setting you for a purpose…” The five-year-old me didn’t know what she meant at first, I thought that what she meant was totally different from the five-year-old me thought. “So, father really thinks I have the ability to become a mommy like you?” She laughed and stroked my strains of white-grey hair, “you are just like your father. Rose, you will turn out to be a fine young lady like I promise him you would be.” Wait a second. What did she mean ‘promise’? Did my mother make a promise to father that this would happen like this and that he knew he was never coming back? At that time, I didn’t question or even ask her, like I said, I believe in everything she said to me and moved on with life. But, this is still on my mind, even now as a teenager. A few days ago, I was training under my father’s master: Toga Yagari. He says a few things about my father and how he made common mistakes to him. He also told me the story about his eye and how my father really caused that to happen to him. Master Toga smiled and touched his damaged left eye and looked at me with his other eye and said, “You look just like your father and I hope...” I looked at him like ‘how am I anything like the person who left me alone.’ He looked at me still knowing what I have been though not seeing him in forever. “You’ll meet him someday. I think when I look at you sometimes; you have that same determination as your father.” I just wonder who my father is sometimes…he left me and my mother. Master Toga patted my head and laughed to get rid of the anguish. That day, I realized my father had a huge impact on the people that cared about him. They see me like a little replica of him. I sighed in complete insanity. Master Toga walked away from me that day and didn’t look back as if he knew I was like him. Like my mother Yuki and my father’s master Toga Yagari, I knew there was a huge connection between me and my father.

    But this is my letter that I am sending to my father tonight:

    I heard from sources that I cannot disclose, they told me you are President of the Vampire Hunter Association, I was really upset at the fact; you of all people would put his work before family. My father, Zero…what am I to you? Am I just something that you have throw on the side? My mother won’t tell me anything and same for Master Toga. I want to know about you, father. I do. I hope you understand that I have a deep hatred for you since forever. I am your daughter, but, I wish you could at least send me a letter to tell me that you were okay… I will not fret about it anymore. As you should know, I will be turning 16 in a few months and I just want you to be there for me on my birthday. Please make this up for me… Never mind…you might have other things to worry about. I just want you to make Mother happy as possible when you return back home to us. You might not ever come back. Just come back for everyone’s sake and please, whatever you are doing I want you to give up on being President. Okay? Just for mother and I? Consider into coming to celebrate my birthday too.

    Your Only Daughter,

    Rose Kiryu

    P.S. I am training under your Master and becoming a Vampire Hunter like you were around my age. It has been a long journey to be one under him. But, I realize it’s my own personal growth to become better than you father. I want to you to be proud of me and also for mother, if you forgot her name. Her name is Yuki Kiryu…or better Yuki Cross. I want you to stay here…I feel like the connection between the both of you have been lost in time. Please come home.
