As Yuki packed her few belongings she sighed to herself. Now that she had her memories back she was a pureblood vampire once again. She had been wishing to know her past for so many years but now that she remembered she almost wished she could have remained oblivious and happy as a human.

A lot had happened since the night Kaname awakened her three months ago. The vampire council had been killed, the long lost purebloods had emerged from hiding and Rido, her parents' murderer had been killed at last. Also, the headmaster had rejoined the hunters association while still running the academy and Zero refused to even see her. The latest most shocking incident though was that Yuki had found out that her best friend, Yori had been secretly dating Hanabusa Aidou, the playboy idol night class noble vampire and it turned out they were in love, which was forbidden between a human and a vampire noble. Yuki was the one to discover them when she caught Aidou sneaking out during the day.

She may not know much about vampire society but she knew that they would not look kindly on a relationship between a vampire noble and a human. So, wanting happiness for them both Yuki had made a rash decision and approved of their loving relationship and had turned Yori in to a level D vampire when her best friend had begged her. Because of this Yori would forever be Yuki's servant and in her debt but Yuki still saw her as her best friend. This way at least Aidou and Yori could be together because of Yuki's blessing.

She had made two people she cared about very happy, but her actions had upset Kaname. He didn't want her to be making such rash decisions when she was still only a young reawakened pureblood. Yuki had accepted her punishment but Kaname loved her too much to ever stay angry with her for long.

Currently, he was still mad at her and was remaining cold towards her as punishment. Yuki loved him as he loved her and he hated doing this to her but he knew this was the only way he would get through to her. He had made Takuma tell Yuki that they were leaving cross academy, so she could not even fight back about it. She hated defying Kaname as she had done of several occasions and she knew it hurt him deeply when she did not put her trust in him but she sometimes felt like he treated her with too much care, as if she were a fragile thing made of glass which could easily break. When his message arrived about them leaving cross academy by the end of the week Yuki was upset at first but she did not wish to fight with him and knew whatever his reasons were they were for the best. He seemed to only ever think of her safety and she trusted that he would ensure no harm came to her. Even when the students had accepted that they were vampires and were still unafraid of them Kaname had insisted that it wasn't safe here and they were to retreat to the Kuran mansion for the time being. Yuki longed for home, to see it again after these years of forgetting it, so she reluctantly agreed as long as the other noble vampires came with them, along with Yori of course. Kaname had agreed to her conditions and that was why she was calmly packing her possessions now. She had few things from her human life, just clothes, photographs, her Artemis rod of course and cherished knickknacks from the headmaster and her friends.

So here Yuki was now, in her room silently packing her belongings in to her case to take to her new – well, actually old – home; for the first time since her parents died.

A sharp knock on her door interrupted her deep thoughts and she called to the person to enter as she shook herself out of her reverie and finally finished her task at hand.

Yuki assumed that the person knocking would be someone sent to escort her down to the car so that they could leave for the Kuran mansion, therefore she didn't bother to check the feeling of their presence. But when she turned around she didn't see anyone she recognised, instead a level D vampire man stood before her and he had a gun in his hand, pointed right at her. Yuki gasped slightly in shock as she realised that this person was a threat to her as the gun he held was an anti-vampire weapon. Even with her enhanced speed she couldn't dodge a bullet from a hunter's gun from this close. She would be shot, it's impossible not to be.

Being newly awakened Yuki didn't know much about the vampire world yet but she instantly recognised this man as an assassin sent to kill her, she could feel his emotions of pure hatred towards her that completely consumed him. This was no ordinary assassin, from his deep emotions she could tell that he may be a professional killer but this task was for himself. For personal reasons a trained killer wanted to kill her and Yuki just couldn't understand why. Not quite knowing what to do she tried to find out what he wanted.

"What are you doing? What do you want?" She asked the stranger.

Unfortunately that didn't give her many answers as the man just smirked at her. "Sorry 'Princess' but you aren't in any position to defy me right now. So, as for what I am doing, I am kidnapping you and you will come with me quietly if you know what's good for you. And with what I want, well you will find out soon enough. All will be revealed shortly."

He moved till he was behind her and jabbed the gun in her back pointedly, making it clear that she was to start walking, now.

"We are going to walk out of here quietly and without any fuss, princess. You will do exactly as I say or I will shoot you. Do you understand?" The crazed vampire ordered her.

Yuki nodded her head and he smiled and continued.

"While everyone is now busy packing we will slip out unnoticed down the back way without any problems. Am I clear princess?"

Seeing no other option Yuki had to comply with this mad man's demands. There was no way she could struggle against him and therefore let the others see that she had been taken, for he had a deadly weapon in his hands. "Yes. That's clear enough. I understand, I will make no noise to alert anyone and will come calmly with you, on one condition."

"You are in no position to be making deals with me right now princess. However, I will listen to what you have to say. What is it?"

"I do not know what you want because you refuse to tell me yet but I want your reassurance that you will not harm any of the other vampires here. If you do not agree with that then I will make it very difficult for you to get out of here and even if you shoot me you will most certainly be killed. So, do we have an agreement?" Yuki asked blankly, as if she didn't care what happened when really she was in turmoil inside right now.

The man laughed at an inside joke and agreed to her condition.

This was turning out to be easier than he thought, he had expected her to fight back or complain at least. But she wasn't even demanding an explanation form him, she was being complacent and it seemed like her time as a human had changed her pureblood attitude. She honestly cared more about the other vampires than her own life. Such foolishness could only come from a human.

With the smirk still plastered across his face he hooked one arm on to the pureblood princess's shoulder to make sure she didn't escape and the man jabbed Yuki in the back with the gun and signalled for her to start with the plan. With their enhanced speed they easily and quickly get out of the night class dorms.

As she walked out of the night dorms with the vampire she glanced back at her room and used what little of her power she had learned to use. She created a small gust confined inside her room so that it would mess things up enough to look like a struggle.

With that done in a split second she returned her eyes forward and did as the rogue vampire told her too.

Sooner or later someone would notice she was missing and seeing the state of her room they would come to the simple conclusion that she had been taken from it against her will and that they must track her, using their enhanced senses to find her.

Now the vampire moves them in to the woods. Keeping the pace fast enough that within a few minutes of running through the trees they are certainly miles away from the cross academy campus. Yuki doesn't know what is going on or where he is taking her but at least she knows that they are far enough away from people, so they cannot be harmed.

Finally when they are quite far from the academy grounds and in a snow filled clearing surrounded by the tress of the forest he motions for her to stop.

He moves around to face her and stands barely inches away from her, with the gun resting on her heart, ready to pull the trigger.

"Now that I have done what you asked, will you tell me what you want?" Yuki asked her captor.

"Of course, princess." The man replies with a mocking grin, which soon turns grim as he begins his story.

"I am a servant of Rido. He was my beloved master who saved me from being a human in return for my servitude. I was eagerly awaiting his return when I felt a stabbing pain go through me and the next thing I knew, I heard that he had been killed and it was the fault of the newly awakened pureblood vampire, the Kuran Princess. Rido made me powerful with his own pure blood, so that in case of such an unthinkable event as his death I would make sure of his revenge. His specific orders were to kill the one responsible for his death by a bullet through the heart using an anti-vampire gun. A painful and symbolic death that would surely start a feud between the vampires and the hunters, over who is responsible. He was so sure only a powerful vampire would ever be able to kill him. And he was unfortunately right. It is your fault my beloved master is dead for eternity. You killed him and now I am going to kill you with this effective anti-vampire weapon I stole from a hunter I killed. Your death will start a war between the humans and vampires, the opposite of what you have been fighting for. There will be no peace from this day forth."

Yuki was shocked by what she heard; this vampire was a powerful servant of Rido, out for revenge for his maker's death. Even though Yuuki had expected he would kill her, her suspicions being confirmed didn't help her. There was nothing she could do. She was newly awakened from being a human and so she wasn't powerful yet, in fact she was almost as weak as a human and vulnerable right now. She could only hope that the vampires and hunters would realise what really happened and will work together instead of against each other from now on. Her death should at least mean something good for the world and she found happiness in the knowledge that her loved ones would be safe. She had known this man's intentions to shoot her from the start, but had still chosen to lead him away from the others to spare their lives. It had all gone according to plan, for both her and the rogue vampire.

But now that she was faced with imminent death, Yuki was afraid. She knew pureblood vampires shouldn't fear death -they shouldn't fear anything- but her time as a human had softened her stone heart. She wished she had had more time with her love, Kaname. She had hoped she would have mended the rift between her and Zero, in time. Yuki had wondered if she would still be able to spend time with the headmaster when she lived in the Kuran mansion. She had known she would practically be a prisoner in her own home until she was safe, but she had also known that she would have her beloved friends beside her, teaching her about the vampire world. Everyone would be safe.

Now none of that would happen and her biggest regret was that she couldn't be with her love, Kaname for eternity as they had planned. She would leave this life and him behind on such bad terms and there was nothing she could do about it. Soon she would be robbed of life and would join her parents in an untimely demise of death.

"Any last words, Bitch?" The vampire asks, now dropping all pretences of politeness and substituting the title of Princess for Bitch. He smiled joyfully at her; finally he would have vengeance for his master's demise.

She feels shock, anger, hatred and fear, all masked by an emotionless façade she puts on. She is being brave, she will not cry and she will not allow this man to see her weak, she is a pureblood and if she dies then it must be her time.

Inside, Yuki was facing emotional turmoil, but she kept her stony expression in place and simply spoke her peace, knowing she did so practically with her dying breath.

"All I have to say to you is that you master was an evil creature and he deserved to die and my beloved Kaname will not stop till he finds and kills you for this."

Before he shoots her, her last thoughts are of her Kaname and how she wished she could kiss him goodbye and tell him that she loved him so much.

With that said the rogue vampire smiles once more at the calm and collected pureblood Kuran princess and shoots her straight through the heart with the anti-vampire gun.

The bullet rips through her delicate frame, tearing apart her heart and creating a gaping hole through her chest. The bullet passes straight through and finally hits a tree in the distance, lodging itself in the bark. The strange symbol created when an anti-vampire gun is fired lingers in the air over where Yuki's heart previously beat.

Her beautiful small body falls to the ground, marred only by the obvious bullet hole through her now broken heart as her pure blood seeps out on to the clear snow beneath her body. Her eyes go dim, no light left in them and with a last sigh from her lips, she slips in to the darkness masked by pain and what lies beyond.

The rogue vampire looks on in delight at what he has done and leaving her where she fell he flicks a single blood red rose next to her body onto the still falling snow – Rido's calling card- and throws the hunter's gun down along with it. For a moment he stares at the beautiful vision he has created, before he collects himself and knowing the vampires would be here any minute since her blood has been spilled he spirits away, faster than ever and blending with the whispering wind as he makes his escape.

So, that was the first chapter of my new Vampire Knight story, 'Killing a pureblood vampire isn't that easy'.

Sorry if I changed tenses a little in it, its one of my bad habits.

I hope you liked it and will continue to read my story.

Also as my story goes on it will become more obvious why I am unsure if this story should be rated T.

The next chapter will be up shortly, probably within the next week.

Thanks for reading and please review
