The Return
Night 01
Dead Rising
"Zero! Ichiru!" A small girl giggled, pulling on the bed sheets of her elder brothers' bed. The two twin boys were soundlessly asleep, as well as the rest of the Kiryu family. Though this little girl was wide awake, now jumping onto the bed.
"Kat, go away." Zero groaned from his sleep.
Kat pouted, her blue eyes sparking with mischief. "But Zero, I wanna play! Please Zero? Ichiru! Tell Zero-kun to stop being such a poopie head!"
Ichiru, being the brother to bend to her will, opened his own lilac eyes and sighed. He was going to try to talk her down into going back to bed. "Katsumi-chan, please go to sleep. We can play tomorrow in the morning."
Kat shook her head smiling, "The women in white outside wants all three of us to play with her!"
Zero Kiryu's eyes snapped open, his mind pained from the memory he tried so hard to suppress. Glancing at the clock, he read it was about one in the morning- causing him to sigh. This was his one rare night that he or Yuki had a break from patrolling the school ground since the Night Class took a 'field trip'. They actually went to some vampire association party, one that Zero was grateful he didn't have to attend to this time. Yet a part of him would rather deal with vampires at a party than this reoccurring dream of a memory he so desperately wanted to forget.
Sighing he sat up, accepting the fact that he wasn't going to get any sleep tonight. Then in that moment he felt it, the vampire's on campus. Which meant they had returned earlier than expected. Grabbing Bloody Rose, Zero pulled on his uniform and perfect badge as he made his way out towards the beasts in human form.
"I still don't see what the point in of that party was." Hanabusa Aidou sighed as he walked up the steps of Cross Academy with the rest of the Night Class. It was early in the morning, the sun was still down but the vampires could feel the tingle sensation to go inside already, warning them about the oncoming sun rise.
"It was rather important that Lord Kaname made an appearance." Ruka insisted, scowling at the blonde haired vampire for being so vague.
Aidou sighed, "He sent us back early."
"Yes, now Takuma is temporarily in charge if the Night Dorm." Akatsuki Kain mumbled tiredly, yawning as he stumbled over the step.
A small groan escaped the lips of a girl who laid on the steps of the school with closed eyes. The Night Class halted in their steps, staring at the girl who laid before them, her arms tucked under head heard as support. Her white hair covered her face, but her steady breath let the vampires know she was in a deep sleep. Cautiously, Aidou squatted besides the girl- gently shaking her shoulder to earn no response. After a few more tried Aidou stood back up without any success in waking the girl up, causing the blonde haired vampire to sigh and turn to Takuma.
"She isn't waking up, what do we do?" Aidou asked.
"We take her to Headmaster Cross, we can't leave her out here in the cold." Takuma said, moving to pick up the shivering girl, but Aidou had already moved to pick her up. It surprised the blonde vampire when the girl nearly slipped from his arms, she was light- too light for a human to weight.
"She's skinny." Aidou voiced out loud.
Ruka scoffed, "It's utterly rude to point out a lady's weight Hanabusa."
Aidou sweat dropped, "I meant as in she hasn't ate in a while."
"Z-zero." The girl whispered, clutching onto Aidou rather tightly. The Night Class all looked amongst each other in surprise that this human girl would know the name to the vampire hunter here on campus.
"Hanabusa, take her to Headmaster Cross as I escort these students back to the Moon Dormitories. Can I trust you to do that Aidou?" Takuma asked, his green eyes watching Aidou's blue.
"Of course." Aidou nodded, tightening his grip on the girl in his arms- who refused to release him from her grip. Without further discussion bother parties went spate directions. Takuma and the Night Class towards the Moon Dormitories and Aidou with the girl towards the Headmaster's main building.
What is this I feel inside my chest? It's pounding- no it's called beating. My heart beat? What is a heart? Those sounds, I believe that's called voices. Who do they belong to? My parents? Zero? Ichiru? Where are Zero and Ichiru?
"You're saying that this girl in your arms was laying unconious on the steps of the Academy?" Kaien Cross asked, hands folded over in a serious manner.
Aidou had brought the girl into the office of Headmaster Cross, explaining the situation without a hesitation. The girl was a mystery herself that much was true. Her hair as white as the snow, skin a pale as porcelain- she looked like a ghost. Kaien had moved from behind his desk now to have a closer look at the girl, who looked so eerily familiar.
"Yes, one of us accidently tripped over her. She hasn't woken up yet, but she did utter out a name in her state." Aidou muttered, hesitantly for a second.
Kaien's interest spiked, "Who's name did she say? She might have come far looking for someone. It looks as if she passed out due to exhaustion."
"That's where it gets interesting." Aidou replied. "She called for Zero Kiryu."
Kaien's eyes widen a fraction. That wasn't something he was expecting to hear. This girl just got more mysterious by the second. "Zero? She couldn't possibly know him, and even if she did it would have to be before he came to live under my roof."
"Which would cause another question, why show up now?" Aidou asked, watching the girl squirm in his arms.
"Zero-kun! Look, it made you a snowman!"
Zero's lips twitched in a smile, "You should make one for Ichiru, Kat. I'm sure that would make him feel much better."
"Really!? Okay!" Kat beamed.
"I-ichiru."
Kaien's eyes narrowed on the girl, who squirmed a bit more. Motioning for Aidou to set her down, Kaien hurried towards the office's doors. "I'm going to retrieve Zero. Stay here with her and make sure she wakes up."
"I can't wake her up!" Aidou cried out, hanging his head when Kaien shut the door on his complaints.
As Aidou stayed a paced, the girl's eyes opened to reveal a pair of electric blue. For a second they seemed to glow brightly before fading into a solid blue. Her eyes scanned the room as she laid perfectly still, trying to figure out where she was exactly. This wasn't her room, this wasn't her house. Off to the side a blonde male caught her eyes, causing her to abruptly sit up and grab ahold of a candle holder from the table besides her.
"Where am I?" She asks, causing Aidou to pivot on her swiftly with unnatural speed. This in return caused the girl to flinch.
"Calm down." Aidou put his hands up, analyzing the situation that was unfolding. The girl was scared, he could tell by her frantically beating heart. Her fear was causing her to act out in the simplest nature, self-defense. "Can you tell me your name? My name is Hanabusa Aidou."
"I didn't ask for your name." The girl snapped. "Where the hell am I, Hanabusa Aidou?"
Aidou made the mistake of taking a step closer, causing the girl to swing the candle holder with a great force. Even if he was a vampire, Aidou didn't appreciate getting hit, so he managed to dodge the swing. Giving her space, Aidou took a step back and answered her question. "You're at Cross Academy."
"Cross Academy?" The girl tilted her head to the side like a questioning puppy, her white hair swaying to one side. "Never heard of it."
"That is where you are." Aidou answered carefully. "Now can you please tell me who you are? Why are you looking for Zero Kiryu?"
The girl's eyes narrowed into a blue glare, "Don't say his name with so much animosity. You have no right."
Aidou's eyes narrowed as well, the temperature in the room dropping, "Who the hell are you and what do you have to do with Zero Kiryu!?"
During Aidou's yells the girl caught sight of Aidou's fangs, and everything seemed to be tuned out. She was able to focus on those sharp canines as something in her mind suddenly seemed to flip like a switch. Her grip on the candle holder tightened, and with great speed she whipped the heavy candle holder up in the air and aimed it at Aidou's head, successfully landing a hit. Scowling, but biting his tongue to refrain from a snappy comment- Aidou glared her way.
"What is wrong with you? Here I am trying to be nice and explain to you and you throw a candle holder at me! What is your problem lady!?" Aidou cried out, rubbing the sore spot on his forehead.
"You're my problem!" The girl exclaimed, throwing her hands in the air. "You're one of them. The other creatures, the beasts in human form!"
Aidou glared, watching the girl with a perplexed expression. This girl, sounded so much like Zero Kiryu that it had the blonde vampire's wheels in his head turning- but before he could say or ask anything, the door slammed open and Zero's Bloody Rose was pointed right at Aidou's head. Kaien quickly tried to defuse the situation, but it was all thrown off when the girl threw herself into Zero's arms.
"Zero-kun!" The girl cried out happily, causing the silver haired vampire's eyes to widen.
Carefully pushing her back, Zero nearly dropped his gun from surprise- something so uncharacteristic of him. The girl in front of him shouldn't have been there, but yet it was the same smile and blue eyes that haunted his dreams. There stood Katsumi Kiryu- Zero's dead little sister, smiling as if she was never gone.
