Orchids

Prologue

Couldn't she tell that he loved her? It was obvious to anyone that he loved her. Yet, she seemed oblivious to his feelings. With each word that came out of her mouth was about that damn Kaname. Couldn't she see how the words tear at his heart?

He dropped so many hints of his affections toward the ditzy girl, but she never noticed. She was too infuriated with that blood sucker. He watched her with longing, lonely purple eyes. He is in love with her, yet she loved someone else. Would the feeling of rejection forever burn his being? Kiryu Zero sighed as he watched his most precious girl, Cross Yuki dot over Kuran Kaname.

A dark blanket fell over the sky, diamonds sparkled in the sky, and owls hooted. Near a large estate screams would shatter the silent atmosphere. Following the screams were soft, eerie laughter.

Mei-Lan huffed as she ran down the hall. Her long steel staff split into two revealing two sharp, bloody blades at the ends. Mei-Lan's hair barely grazed her slender porcelain shoulders. Her dark chocolate eyes shook with terror. Normally, she wouldn't be this terrified of killing the night creatures, but seeing as it was the one that killed her town so many years ago; it struck a nerve in the Chinese-American teen.

A cool hand as hard as steel enclosed around the chocolate hair girl's arm and pulled her down roughly on the tiled floor making her cry softly. Mei-Lan looked up and her eyes widen and she tensed. Standing over her with a cruel gleam in his eyes, a sadistic smile with long fangs poking out from his mouth was the vampire that tortured her dreams.

"Now, now, is that anyway to greet your master, Mei-Lan?" Shun-Yuan cooed with his husky voice. Mei-Lan glared at the beautiful man standing over her. He was full Chinese, unlike Mei-Lan, he stood at five foot six, his long black hair fell a little past his shoulders, his eyes an abnormal blazing red, his skin was a sickly pale color. His looks were seemed to be craved delicately.

"Burn in hell," Mei-Lan snarled spitting the vampire in the face. Shun-Yuan wiped the spit with the back of his hand and glared menacingly at the girl. Shun-Yuan placed a heavy boot on Mei-Lan's stomach and she groaned in utter pain.

"I ought to teach you some lessons again, Mei-Lan." Shun-Yuan pressed his foot deeper into the girl's abdomen. Mei-Lan gasped in pain and her small hands flew to the boot that assaulted her body. She tried to push the shoe off, but it was all in vain. Shun-Yuan laughed at her feeble attempt. Mei-Lan stopped trying to get the foot off and instead stretched toward her fallen weapon to her left. Her fingers grazed the steel, but it was suddenly kicked to the side. Mei-Lan's eyes went to Shun-Yuan who smirked at her. "Like I said, Mei-Lan, lessons," With that Shun-Yuan slammed his foot, which was recently on Mei-Lan's stomach, onto her wrist. A sickening crack echoed the empty halls followed by a scream. It took a moment for Mei-Lan to realize that it was her screaming. At first she didn't feel the broken bone until the pressure was removed from Mei-Lan's wrist than a burning sensation burned her wrist. She rolled to her side and curled into a ball. She held her wrist close to her chest, biting her lower lip to prevent unshed tears from falling. Shun-Yuan picked up Mei-Lan's weapon and put it back together from the blades. He twisted the two metals together and it formed into a long steel staff. He clicked a small symbol on the staff and a large blade slick though the end. "It's a shame you have to go like this Mei-Lan." He chuckled and with a sharp motion the blade went through the soft flesh of Mei-Lan's stomach. Mei-Lan arched her back with a shaky gasp. She lowered her body as blood pooled around her. She weakly gazed at the blood stealer and glared.

"I will have my revenge, Shun-Yuan." Mei-Lan choked as blood gurgled up her throat. Shun-Yuan kneeled down and leaned near her ear.

"Such empty words from a dieing human." He whispered. Standing words he walked away from the scene. A girl lying on the ground, blood pooling rapidly around her, a large steel pole stood from the ground through her abdomen holding her in place. Shun-Yuan stood near a window a leafless tree starching the window. "A shame really, you were such a good pet." He chuckled and disappeared into the darkness.

Mei-Lan coughed violently as blood filled her lungs and seeped through her mouth and abdomen. Her vision stirred and smeared. Her hearing slowly became hazy and the only thing that she seemed to hear was her dying heart beat. Mei-Lan suddenly heard vague mummers. Four silhouettes stood above her. Unconsciousness claimed her mind and the world spun, slowly fading.
