I'm happy cos chapter 88 of Vampire Knight is coming out in 15 days YAY! I'm counting down! :DDD
Zero leaned against a tree boredly, he had been patrolling the grounds all night, and he didn't really have the energy to do another round, he raised his eyes to a series of high-pitched squeaks, a black bat perched underneath a tree branch above him returned his tired gaze with alert red eyes
how long has it been?
He wondered almost mindlessly
Almost a year now…
whispered a small voice in the back of his mind, he was afraid he was going crazy, ever since that time, a year ago, when he had last seen Koshka in the flesh, he had been hearing things, things which nobody else heard, well, a thing, a voice. He had been hearing a voice in his mind, wizening his decisions, whispering to him, guiding him. The voice helped when he was lusting for blood; it calmed him, making him less dangerous. The bat opened its leathery wings and emitted a high pitched squeak, almost conversationally, Zero sighed, not caring about the razor-sharp fangs which the bat had flashed, his own fangs were bigger and sharper, the thought of his fangs brought a rush of unwelcome memories to the front of his mind, he remembered how it felt to drive his fangs into the soft flesh of a human neck, the rush he felt when blood filled his mouth, he dropped to his knees, groaning and clutching his neck, the pain in his throat was unbearable, his fangs pierced his bottom lip and he licked up the blood beginning to ooze out, grimacing at the craving for Koshka's rich blood, full of flavour, full of demonic power, he groaned again, he simply refused to take Yuuki's blood, it wasn't her tainted Kuran blood he wanted, he wanted the pure sweet liquid which ran through Koshka's body
Why do you do this to yourself?
The voice whispered
"I won't hurt anyone else" Zero growled, he didn't care that he was crazy, sometimes he just needed some company, and the voice was kind, wise, as much as he questioned it, insulted it, it was never more than the tiniest whisper, a very stubborn and argumentative whisper, but a whisper nonetheless
Koshka wouldn't want you to torture yourself like this
The voice said, Zero growled, running his tongue over his bottom lip, where more blood had gathered from his fangs
"Koshka wouldn't want me to hurt anyone more than I already do" a voice came from the building next to him
"Who are you talking to?" Zero spun to see the pureblood princess Yuuki Kuran, a small child similar to her holding her hand
"No-one" he growled, turning away from them, Yuuki stepped closer
"I'd know your voice anywhere Zero" he growled lightly as he felt the weight of a pureblood command
"It won't work on me" Yuuki tilted her head innocently
"What won't-"
"Don't bother" Zero snapped, Yuuki flinched, closing her eyes, when she opened them again, tears were brewing in them, when she spoke, her voice broke
"I didn't ask to be this Zero" Zero's breathing was slowly getting louder, he was beginning to find it harder to stand up straight
"It doesn't matter" Yuuki didn't listen, she let go of the child's hand and ran to hold Zero's arm
"Zero?!" she asked worriedly, Zero snarled, yanking his arm out of her grasp, she saw the flash of his glowing red eyes and held her hands to her heart
"Zero?" she said quietly "how long has it been since you last drank from someone?" she was answered by a wordless growl, she approached cautiously and reached out to touch him
"Zero, have you been starving yourself?" he whirled around with an inhuman snarl
"Stop saying my name!" he yelled
don't take your anger out on her, it isn't her fault, she cares about you
the voice said, Zero calmed a little, obediently turning away
"Just leave me alone and don't talk to me, you monster" he spat, stumbling as he moved away, and unaware of the bat which had scuttled along the branch to watch him, when the bat screeched he looked up at it, and growled, baring his fangs, what he would give to sink his fangs into it…he shook his head, clutching at his temple
I'm not going to sink so low as to take blood from animals
he thought, the voice came again, quiet as always, and reasoning, it helped him regain his bearings
I wonder what a vampire bat is doing here
it said, Zero frowned, nothing the voice ever said was without reason, but what was so important about a bat? He looked at it; the voice was directing his attention to a little flying rat-like creature, nothing special, except the tiny sharp fangs poking from its open mouth
"What's so special about a bat?" he muttered, the voice laughed a little
don't you think it's ironic for a vampire bat to show up here?
"No, I think you're not telling me something"
call it over
the voice requested simply, Zero sighed, the voice never led him wrong
"What if it bites me?"
It knows its own kind, besides, you aren't sleeping
Zero growled a little at the thought of being a parasite, but it was true, wasn't it? He held his hand out and the bat landed on it almost immediately, the sharp claws on its "thumbs" pricking his skin like thorns, it began to crawl up Zero's arm while he eyed it suspiciously
You don't need to be so tense, it won't hurt you
the voice chuckled
"That isn't why I'm tense" Zero muttered back "it could be one of those damn purebloods in disguise" the voice was silent, almost pondering
you are more powerful now than before, you would sense it
Zero grunted a little, he didn't care enough to continue arguing, the bat perched on his bicep and the blood red eyes were fixed on lavender purple ones, giving up on sense, Zero nipped the tip of his finger, holding the droplet of blood up to the little creature, it lapped the red liquid up with its pink tongue until it healed over, it gave a high pitched shriek and dug its claws deeper into his arm, Zero sighed and let his knees bend, he dropped to the ground and the bat screeched in protest
"Shut up" he mumbled, beginning to fall asleep, a crack and puff of black smoke made him leap up again, eyes wide with hope, the bat flew up to a tree branch with an enraged screech and when the smoke cleared it was another man in front of him, with long white hair and twilight blue eyes, his huge wings were folded behind his back, Zero scowled
"What do you want?" Henrī narrowed his eyes
"I know that mortals have short attention spans, so I'll make this as fast as possible- what is your connection with Koshka Polnoch'?" Zero growled
"I don't want to tell you" Henrī clenched a fist
"I don't have time for this; you are a vampire, correct?" Zero bared his fangs in a threatening scowl
"What do you think?" Henrī put a hand to his head in exasperation
"Did you drink the blood of Koshka Polnoch'?!" Zero stubbornly stayed silent, Henrī lashed out suddenly, sinking his fangs into the vampire's shoulder, Zero cried out in pain and flinched away, drawing the hellrock dagger Koshka had given him for Valentine's day hundreds of years ago, Henrī didn't advance, instead, he licked the blood from his lips, as his tongue gathered up the blood, his eyes went wide, Zero held his dagger at the ready, Henrī narrowed his eyes and began his advancement, growling and spreading his wings, before Zero had time to prepare, Henrī jumped, landing on Zero and snarling, panicking, Zero swung his dagger arm blindly, a wet thud told him that the demonic weapon hit home, spraying Zero's face and upper body with hot blood, a sudden burst of energy hit Zero, seeming to flow from the dagger, he growled again and threw the body off him, getting up and preparing to attack again, he lost his footing almost immediately
why is there always so much fucking blood?!
He thought, unable to see properly, his eyes were drawn directly to the sweet red liquid, he grabbed his throat, tearing bloody lines in his neck and moaned in pain, he glanced over to Henrī, he wasn't moving, but he could just see the demon's chest rise and fall rapidly, his breath came as a wheeze
"You, mortal, come" Zero stumbled over, brandishing the hellrock dagger and knowing full well that the demon wouldn't last another attack, Henrī glared at him from the ground
"Where did you get that?" his eyes were on the dagger, Zero clenched it tighter, refusing to answer, Henrī growled
"Hellrock is the rarest substance in the entire world, that amount of hellrock takes millions of years to acquire, where did you get it?" Zero still didn't answer, plunging the dagger once more into the demon and using the burst of power to forget his need for blood, until his eyes fell onto the blade at his side, without thinking, he raised it to his lips, inhaling the bitter scent of Henrī's blood, he snarled and threw the dagger away, it landed in a tree, leaving only the hilt showing
You should have taken his blood
the voice said, Zero growled
"I'm not going to, I am never drinking blood again" but he still walked over to the tree to grab the dagger and pull it out with that energy from the dagger, cleaning it off as carefully as he could with his sleeve and replacing it in its sheath, hidden away in his jacket, he looked back over to Henrī's dead body, all that remained was a mound of dark dust, and a few small bones arranged into the devil's symbol with the skull sitting above it, Zero bowed his head briefly-he was raised to respect the dead, he then left.
Meanwhile, deep in the fiery depths of hell, a demon awoke, she walked over to a lava pool with indescribable grace, she dropped to one knee and looked through to the overworld, a figure materialized behind her, bowing
"My lady, I'm sorry, I tried to get more information, but he killed me" the demon didn't look away from the pool
"He is very strong; I can see why Koshka was so fond of him" she murmured, smiling at the image of the bloody vampire which she saw in the lava
"My lady, I have news you may find…interesting" the demon lady looked over her shoulder
"Don't waste my time with games, what is it?" she barked impatiently, Henrī bowed again
"The mortal is in possession of a hellrock dagger" the demon stood
"What?"
"The tool of my demise was a hellrock dagger; I believe that it was given to him by Koshka, she is the only one besides Lord Satan who has lived long enough to acquire enough hellrock to make a dagger" the demon lady looked thoughtful
"We don't need to worry; the mortal has no idea of what it can do" Henrī nodded
"What do we do?" the lady sighed
"I'm not really sure…have you located Koshka yet?"
"No, Lord Satan won't say a word, and my demons have been scouring the underworld ever since you commanded us to" she sighed again
"Why must you make things so difficult?" she muttered under her breath "keep looking, and as for the mortal, wait. Word will spread quickly of the tool in his possession, this can work very nicely in our favour" Henrī bowed again, leaving to continue the search for Koshka.
Zero looked up at the starry night sky
"Where are you Koshka? Why can't you be here? Why can't you stay with me?"
And somewhere, in a place of nothingness, Koshka Polnoch' smiled.
