Rychan: Hey guys, here's another story idea that's been in my head for a while.

Zero: *Glare* At least you didn't change my gender.

Rychan: *sweat drops* No, I like the idea of living.

Hiccup: Rychan doesn't own any of the material in use.

Prelude

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

It was a depressing day at Cross Academy. Rain was pouring down on the ground and there was no sound other than the water pouring down around them. That is, until a figure was walking out of the building and heading towards the gate. His lavender eyes now dull and void of emotion.

Zero Kiryu has finally broken.

Ever since Yuki became a pureblood, her personality took a total 180. She became cruel and snotty, always calling Zero a worthless Level D and that he should lose what little of grip he has on humanity. It didn't take long to start believing in what she said.

He's no longer needed at the academy; he already served his purpose of protecting Yuki. But that wasn't the only reason for his state. It was because he could no longer stand the sight of Kaname with Yuki anymore.

Yeah, that's right.

Zero Kiryu, the most temperamental and stubborn hunter in the world, is in love with Kaname Kuran, the Prince of the Vampires. It hurt seeing him with Yuki every time. So here he is, in the cold rain, with nothing but a backpack and Bloody Rose.

"I'm sorry Cross," he whispered, "but I can't stay here anymore."

Zero reached the fence and was about to climb over it when the wind suddenly picked up around him. He paused, knowing only one person that could control the wind.

"It's okay," a soft voice called out, "I'll help you."

Zero turned around found himself starring into a pair of very familiar eyes. "You?"

The figure smiled at the bewildered face Zero had. "You need a real friend, so here I am."

Zero looked down, too ashamed to look at his old friend's face. Not having any of that, the figure cupped Zero's cheeks into his hands.

"I'm going to help you find someone who will stand by your side no matter what the cost, but you can't leave yet. For if you do, you'll be proving everyone right on what they said about you. Start living for yourself and no one else."

Zero leaned into those sweet soft hand, how he missed the comforting warmth the brought him.

"Do you promise to stay with me?"

The figure smiled softly and gave Zero a much needed loving hug, "I promise."

The walked back towards the academy, the rain stopping and the sun rising behind them.
