Chapter 1: Shattered Glass
He starred at his freshly broken mirror. All of his cuts had already healed. However his shirt wasn't so lucky, it's long white sleeves hung in bloody tatters.
"Look at the freak," he murmured "Zero Kiryu; The Monster. The blood sucker that attacked his best friend because he was thirsty. The terrified child that couldn't save his own family from one vampire."
Smash. A fresh cut on his fist.
"Couldn't save Okaa-san."
Another punch.
"Couldn't help Oto-san."
Another .
"Couldn't rescue Ichiru."
A broken knuckle.
"Couldn't kill that woman."
Shards of glass were cutting deep into his hands.
"My weak body rejected the blood tablets."
His right arm was impossible to lift now, he switched to the other arm.
"Couldn't resist Yuuki's blood."
The mirror fall away, he punched the wall.
"Couldn't protect her from the monster."
The stucco was caving in beneath his furious onslaught.
"COULDN'T DO ANYTHING!!"
He was out of energy and both arms were numb, he could barely stand. The tears fell on his batterd hands he wasn't sure when he started crying.
"Why did she protect me from Sensei? I am his responsibility--she should have just let me die. Now here we are, the only thing keeping me from falling to Level E is Yuuki's blood.
Zero's knees finally gave way and his arms hung uselessly at his side. The glass crunched beneath his pant legs, diging into his skin.
"The only time I can touch her," he whispered to the empty bathroom "is when I drink her blood. Pathetic."
As the fatigue over came him he didn't hear the door open or the gasp.
"Zero?"
