The Rose That Bloomed In Pure Blood

by PhantomBlacke

The war has ended, but a new battle begins. Why does she reject his advances despite her love for him? And what's with her brother's deepening interest in him? He's already served his purpose; now they're opponents for her love, right? Confusion, frustration and bloodlust spirals wildly as he tries to make sense of why his thoughts are full of her, but his dreams are full of him.

1. Author's Note

Hello, my darling readers! I'm back with a new story, and I'm excited to be interacting with this site again!
How has everyone been?
I'm in college now, which is why there hasn't been any activity on this account in so long, but I'm going to be dedicating my free time to entertaining you wonderful folks from now on!
I just wanted to use this section to reconnect with everyone and tell you a bit about this story~

So, for the past few days, I've been doing extensive research on Vampire Knight (meaning, rewatching both seasons of the anime and reading the spark notes for the manga).
I am not AT ALL PLEASED WITH THE WAY IT ENDED. I won't give away any spoilers, but concerning the manga . . . wtf. Seriously. No. Back in the day, it was always my dream to see Yuki end up with whom she ended up with, but within these few days of research and reigniting my love for the series, I felt some seriously conflicting emotions. I had a newfound love and appreciation for the characters, and I was finally at peace with the way they ended things (in the anime). THEN, I go over to the manga, AND THEY THROW A GIGANTIC MONKEY WRENCH INTO THE WHOLE THING, and I'm just soooo angry with everything. No, that's not why I'm writing this fic. I just needed a refresher on the characters, but now I'm regretting that :):

So, the only things I want to point out here is that the main focus is KanamexZero, although I will be shedding some light on a host of other couples, because HOT DAMN, there's so much potential literally EVERYWHERE. This is AU, but following the events of season two, and to some extent, the manga: (*SPOILERS* where Yuki is a vampire, Zero retains the enhanced powers of the Bloody Rose, Kaname retains the powers he absorbed from Shizuka, and both he and Kaien have overthrown the vampire and hunter societies). Also, Ichiru is still alive. Besides those explicitly stated details, no parts of the anime or manga will have a bearing on this fic. This is just for pleasure and entertainment. Oh, and there will be lemon flavor almost everywhere, so brace yourselves! Don't worry; the rating will change before I post anything inappropriate!

If you have anything to express, have a request, or just want to say hi, please feel free to comment on this section! I hope you enjoy what's to come!
