Hey there everyone! I'm not new on fanfiction but I am new to Vampire Knight. I just started reading the series a few months ago and thought it was one of the greatest anime's I've read for a long time!
I know I'm a terrible speller so please do ignore. Also, I'm new to this story so if there is anything you find wrong I'd appreciate if you let me know. Constructive criticism is welcomed but flames will be ignored or flamed back. I'm not too positive about the level of Vampires or how they change so again, sorry if I screw that up also.
I do not own Vampire Knight, I only wish I did
Zero walked quietly down the corridor with his hands stuffed into his pockets. Why would the chairman want to talk to him? He was already tired enough with his guardian duties, his classes and his obsessive teasing with Yuuki. To give up his precocious time to have a heart to heart with the man who calls himself Zero's father was not Zero's idea of fun.
He sighed as he stopped in front of the Chairman's door and knocked lightly. "Come in!" The Chairman called in somewhat less of his cheerful voice. Zero obeyed, opening the door and stepping into the room. "Zero! You came!"
"What is it that you want?" Zero asked annoyed. The chairman frowned at him then smiled.
"I need to ask you for a favor."
"What favor?" Zero asked, getting more annoyed and bored at the moment.
"It's about the night class." Chairman warned. Zero stiffened noticeably and inhaled at the words.
"What about the night class?"
"I'm expecting a visitor-"
"No. I have nothing to do with them or your visitors. Get Yuuki if you want a welcoming committee." Zero was turned to the door, ready to walk out when the Chairman spoke again.
"There's a problem, and she isn't a vampire. Not yet."
"What?" Zero hissed dangerously.
"Kaname is bringing her here. It seems that you and this girl have much in common."
"What are you talking about?" Zero demanded.
"We got news of a Vampire attack just outside the limits of the school. A family was murdered, all except for a young woman." Zero shook his head against the thought, remembering his own family and the same fate they had faced. Then he remembered what had befallen over him when that had happened.
"What do you mean that she isn't a Vampire yet?" Zero asked.
"I'm not sure if she was bitten or not. The message wasn't clear. If she was, Kaname can handle it well enough, if she wasn't I will be in need of your assistance."
"Why me?" Zero asked angrily.
"It sounds that either way, you can relate to her misfortune. Perhaps you can help her get through it. Just as Yuuki helped you through that first night." It was an unfair blow. Zero couldn't help but remember that night he had first came to Cross Academy. If it hadn't been for Yuuki he would have been lost completely and both he and the Chairman knew it.
Before he could reply however, the door to the room was flung open and Kaname ran in cradling a frail figure in his arms. The girls long hair draped over the Vampire's ghostly arm, her dark green eyes, wide in fear and her thin body shaking violently. Her blood was pulsing in adrenaline, Zero turned his head sideways and began to breathe through his mouth. At least she was still human.
"Put me down!" The girl demanded in a weak voice. "Let me go!" It was clear she was trying to wiggle free from his arms and by his torn coat she had fought pretty hard. Kaname ignored her and carried her to the chair in front of the Chairman's desk. She beat weak fists against his solid chest as silent tears ran down her red face. Zero watched silently, unsure what to do at the moment.
He couldn't look away from those frighten eyes. He was sure that on his terrible night he had looked the same. He was sure that her expression mirrored his at one point and for the first time he actually understood the sympathy he would constantly see in Yuuki's face.
"She's turning." Kaname warned. Zero's head shot up towards him, so she had been bit. He straightened and then looked at the Vampire before him.
"Kill her." The room fell silent except for the girls sobs as they all turned to look at Zero.
"Kill her?" Kaname demanded.
"Do it! You wanted my help Chairman. This is the only relief you can give her. Kill her before it's to late. She's still human enough. Don't allow her to change fully." Zero said firmly.
"She's still a person! There's no reason to murder her!" Kename snapped, shaking now in anger.
"She won't be a person for long!" Zero countered. "You're willing to damn her to our fate instead of saving her!"
"Please. . . " The girl whispered, gasping for breathe as the venom began to slowly make her way through her blood. ". . . Don't let me turn into one of them." Zero looked at the Chairman, expecting an agreement.
"You don't know what you ask." Kaname said soothingly to her as he leaned closer. She pushed him back from herself and looked at the chairman also.
"I know. . . who they are! I know what happened! Please, let me die!" Zero ached in sympathy, she was the same age as him, perhaps a year younger. He had been so little when it had happened to him. The differences was that he was still too young to understand. She wasn't.
"Do it." Zero repeated but the Chairman shook his head.
"It's not right to kill an innocent creature."
"You idiot!" Zero yelled. "Look at her! Will she honestly live a innocent life if she does turn?"
"It's not right Zero. Perhaps I was wrong, I should have realized that this could have triggered your own memories. I'm sorry for not thinking clearly."
"You never think clearly!" Zero hissed. "Let her die."
"I'm sorry my son. I can't." The Chairman replied solemnly. Zero then turned to Kaname, inwardly wincing with the knowledge of what he was about to do.
"Do let her go through it. We've never gotten along but don't let your hatred of me cloud your judgment of her." Kaname looked at the girl and then sadly up at Zero.
"I can not do what you ask me to do." He sounded sincere but Zero growled.
"Then I'll do it!" Zero yelled and reached for the gun at his side. Before he could pull out the barrel Kaname ran over and grabbed his arm.
"No! You can't!" Zero tried pushing him back but Kaname wouldn't budge. Their strengths were evenly matched which meant neither could move the other.
"Zero, that's enough." The chairman demanded. Zero finally released his hold on the gun so Kanametook a stepback.
"Fine!" He hissed. "But this sin is on you. I'll have no part in it!" He spun towards the door. The girl was crying more then before, with sweat gleaming down her face and her body trembling. She took a rattling breathe and Zero could see her fangs fall into place with the edges as sharp as a blade. He sighed then walked out the door before he could hear the screams.
Please Review and tell me if it really sucked.Thanks for reading!
