Hello, this is the first chapter of the story Miko. I hope you enjoy it. This is my second story. It is quite different from my first one. It may seem similar but it is not. I would really love some comments or feedback. Thank you in advance.

CHAPTER ONE-RAINING BLOOD

Zero always had the same dream recently. He kept seeing a woman in his dreams. She had long fair hair and soft eyes. She sometimes smiled at him and she talked to him. Except, he couldn't hear her so to him her lips worded out silent words. Then the sky started to rain. It rained red. It rained blood. He stopped seeing her. Now when he dreamed, it was dark. But, he could hear her scream for him. He would scream something back but he did not know what.

Zero woke up. He looked at his alarm clock. It was time to work. It was summer. Therefore, he was in summer vacation. He rolled out of bed and changed. He threw on his trench coat and got out of his room. He put his gun, Bloody Rose, into its holster. Someone whacked him on the chest. He looked at the person reproachfully.

"Zero! You're late." She said pursing her small lips.

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I oversleep, yeesh."

She grabbed his hand and pulled him out of his apartment. They hit the streets. It was night. They headed to the Headquarters. Zero looked around as they walked. She was busy putting her long brown hair into a ponytail. He rubbed his eyes sleepily.

"You're tired. Well so am I! We have to work hard today!" She said smiling and she began to hum a tune.

"I keep telling you that you don't have to hunt. Leave that to the vampire hunters. "

She gave him a cross look and she stuck out her tongue at him. "I want to help you. You can't tell me what to do."

"I'm not telling you to do anything. I'm just telling you to consider something. " He said to her.

She opened the big doors of the Hunter Society. She waited until he got inside to run ahead. A person waited. He held a scribe and a quill in one hand. He looked at them and opened the door immediately.

"Zero Kiryu and Yuki Cross, it's a pleasure seeing you two tonight."

"Evening Morio," Yuki said smiling to the black-haired man.

Zero nodded to him and went inside. Kaito walked immediately to him.

"Where were you! I had to stall the old goats. Just because you are the next Society President it doesn't mean you can slack off."

"I wasn't slacking off. I was resting. Besides Cross said that I had to take a day off."

Kaito walked to the meeting room. Zero followed and Yuki ran to catch up to them. She kept biting her lip.

"It's going to be okay, Yuki." Zero whispered to her.

She only nodded. She looked on nervously. The doors opened. There was Cross, Yagari and other hunters sitting at the table. On one of the chairs sat HIM.

Kaname Kuran.

Zero had to look away so that he wouldn't kill him. He was still necessary to make a deal with the vampire society. To secure the peace. Zero stood at the back.

"Hello, I hope we can start this meeting now that Kiryu is here." Kaname said, as he laid down some papers.

Zero glared at Kaname and was about to say something when Yuki dug her elbow into his stomach. He glared at her. He looked back and saw Kaname look at him. A dull headache began in him. Zero closed his eyes. He felt dizzy. Yuki looked at him.

"Are you okay?" She whispered to him.

"I'm . . . ugh, ow." He felt the pain intensify. He got a flash of the woman from him dreams.

It's time. You have to awaken. It's time.

Wake up now!

Zero rushed out of the room. Yuki shouted his name alarmed. He gripped his head with both hands. It hurt. He ran outside. He began to sweat. He ran into an alley. He stopped. He looked around wild-eyed.

Please, wake up. I need your help.

We don't have much time.

You must awaken son of Kiryu.

It's time.
