Normal POV

Zero Kiyruu stood in front of his mirror, silently buttoning his shirt up, leaving the first two unbuttoned creating a V-shape across his neck line. He was wearing a midnight blue buttoned shirt with the sleeves rolled up just past his elbows. He wore ripped jeans and black dress shoes. He sighed and prepared himself for the cold night.

Yuuki cross was wearing a black satin dress with a red ribbon around her waist, she also wore black heels with a red rose both perched at the toe of the shoe. She was currently fiddling over her hair, until she decided to leave it down.

Kaito was impatiently waiting for his small friend to quicken her pace. He was wearing a black T-shirt with red words imprinted, saying 'Let all hell Loose'. He wore light blue jeans and a leather jacket.

"Yuuki, we might not make it in time if you don't hurry." Complained Kaito, arms crossed against his chest. He was really looking forward to tonight.

"Okay Kaito, I'm finished now, I think we'll go get Ichiru and Zero then we'll head off." Yuuki took another glimpse of herself in the mirror, before walking out of the room, accompanied by Kaito.

Ichiru was waiting in the lounge area, he was also the fastest of the teens to get ready. He wore a white dress shirt with the sleeves rolled up and a black vest. He wore simple black slacks and dress shoes as well.

"'Bout time you came out, what took you guys so long?" Kaito rolled his eyes and pointed at Yuuki, so was pouting at Kaito's gesture of blame.

"Well sor-ry! I don't see you wearing make-up or wearing a dress now do I?" Yuuki huffed like an arrogant child.

"Where's Zero?" asked Ichiru. As soon as those words left his mouth, a figure behind them stood at the doorway.

"Present…" Zero tried to smile to his friends, but the tensity and fear showed too clearly through his friend's eyes.

"Relax Zero, the night hasn't even started and you're already freaking out, let's just hurry up and go before he changes his mind." And with that Yuuki lead the way out of the apartment, until Zero halted everyone up.

"Wait, do you guys have your weapons?" They had all packed weapons in case of an emergency, besides, the joint was owned by a pureblood.

Yuuki rolled her eyes. "Got mine tucked safely right here…" she patted her thigh, gesturing that she had her Artemis secured safely in a strap on her thigh. Her Artemis was an anti-vampire tool that whenever touched by a vampire will sting them, it could also turn into a scythe if Yuuki was ever in deep trouble.

Ichiru and Kaito both had anti-vampire daggers tucked beneath their vest or jacket, although, it was rather uncomfortable for a sharp object to be poking around inside you, even if it had a leather cover of it.

Zero couldn't bring his gun Bloody Rose with him so her brought an anti-vampire knife tucked in the waist of his jean.

"It'll be alright Zero, we'll all be okay, even if we did get attacked it wouldn't be lethal with what we have on us." Yuuki smiled gently and reached out to Zero's arm, rubbing it gently.

She then griped onto his arm and decided to drag him out herself, if he didn't leave the apartment sooner or later, he might have had second thoughts. "Honestly Zero we'll be late!"

As soon as they left the apartment they got into Ichiru's car, where Ichiru sat at the driver's seat, Zero sat at the front passenger's seat while Kaito and Yuuki sat at the back. And with that, the engine roared and they drove off into the night with Ichiru's dangerous driving.

At Tainted Beat

The four teens had finally arrived at the club, Kaito was revved up for the night while Ichiru was looking forward to some fun. Yuuki was so excited she was squeezing onto Zero's arm a little too tight. Zero was relaxed and collected during the ride, he was looking forward to the night a little more now.

Ichiru had parked somewhere further from the club, so they had to walk until they reached an entrance with neon lights flashing: "Tainted Beats". There was a bouncer and a woman in a suit, who was holding onto a clipboard.

There was also a very long line waiting to get in, but luckily for them, they just had to walk right up and enter.

"Excuse me, I'm Cross Yuuki, I had a reserved V.I.P pass…" The woman with the clipboard scanned her list and nodded.

"Yes, I see. You have other friends accompanying you tonight, Ichiru, Kaito and Zero, am I correct?" The teens nodded their acknowledgment. "Well then, since you're here, the boss requested that you visit him in his office if that's alright with you?"

"Absolutely." Replied Yuuki, and with that they were lead in through the entrance, where a elevator stood.

"It seems that this is an underground club, seems fun." Stated Kaito, as he pressed the button. The doors flew open immediately and the group of friends walked in.

After a while there was a ping and the doors slid open, revealing a cheery blond that stood before them.

"Evening to you, my name is Takuma Ichijou and I'm hear to escort you to Kaname-sama." Ichijou was a rather handsome young man with mature content and emerald green eyes. He started walking, gesturing for the teens to follow him.

"I do hope you guys enjoy yourselves tonight, this club has exceptional entertainment and the best drinks in the whole area." Explained Ichijou.

"This place is interesting…" whispered Ichiru, we was quietly observing the décor and paintings that hung in the hallway.

"Oh yes, it was all designed by Kaname-sama himself." Smiled Ichijou, Zero and Kaito couldn't help think what this Kaname guy was like.

They reached to halt in front a door. Ichijou knocked and walked in, without the need of permission.

"Here are the guest Kaname-sama…" Ichijou bowed and walked out, leaving the teens in the presence of a pureblood.

Zero had to admit that Kaname was quite the good-looking guy. He had dark-crimson eyes and wavy chocolate-brown hair that hung just above his shoulders. He was leaning against he edge of his desk smiling.

"Welcome, I'm glad to finally meet Yuuki's friends. It's a pleasure to meet you." Kaname walked up and brought up Yuuki's hand to kiss. Zero grimaced at the action.

Kaname looked up and saw a silver-haired youth with a slight scowl across his face. He smirked.

"Yeah, it's nice to meet you too, I'm Kiyruu Ichiru, this is my twin Kiyruu Zero and our friend Takamiya Kaito." Kaname nodded and smiled.

"I see, it's nice to know that Yuuki has lovely friends with her tonight, and I hope you all enjoy yourselves. The entrance though to the club is down the hall, just down the stairs."

The teens nodded while Yuuki bowed and exited the room, before Kaname took hold of Zero's wrist and pulled him in.

"Sorry for this but may I have a word?" Zero stared with a suspicious look across his face, he didn't understand what he needed to talk about. Zero stepped in and Kaname closed the door behind him.

"If I'm not mistaken, you are a vampire?" questioned Kaname.

Zero was only shocked for a split second before realising that Kaname was a pureblood like Yuuki had told him the night before. Zero nodded. "Unfortunately, yes."

"I see, you don't have the aura of a noble or level C, may you perhaps by a… level E?" Zero nodded, he didn't object the comment made and knew that he would be noticed sooner or later. Zero was although very ashamed of what he was and stared down at his feet.

Kaname observed him and became intrigued, he wanted to know more about this person for some reason. For a level E he seems quite stable…how does he manage?

"You might be thinking on how I sustain my…'needs', am I right?" Kaname smiled.

"You look quite normal, and not to mention quite handsome to look anything near a level E, so I was just making sure my sense told me correct." Zero lightly blushed and tilted his head to the side, averting eye contact, he never felt this way before about anyone, but he didn't hate it nor like it.

"Thanks, but it doesn't change the fact of what I am." Kaname raised an eyebrow, this is interesting, to be able to live like this and maintain sanity, he has the strength to go fight against it so much, this guy has a strong spirit…interesting. Kaname smirked.

"You are very strong form what I observe Zero, but how long have you been fighting this…urge?" asked Kaname.

Zero sighed, he was getting sick and suspicious of the questions. "If you really must know, four years." Kaname's eyes widened. "Now if you will excuse me, I'd like to join my friends now." Said Zero, as walked to leave the room.

"Of course, please enjoy yourself tonight."

Zero walked down the hallway and down a flight of black marble stairs. He entered through a door and walked into the huge club.

The club inside was massive and the music played really loud. There were people dancing everywhere and the dance floor was lit up by multi-coloured lights. The ceiling had flashing white lights and on a stage there was a D.J working the music. A bar was situated on the far left and there were a couple seats for people to sit.

Zero quickly walked up towards the bar and ordered some beer. Zero spotted Kaito with a girl, she had faded-blonde hair and wore a black dress that fell onto the side of her shoulders. They seemed quite into each other, she was leaning onto Kaito while he was whispering into her ear, Zero thought it was best to leave them be.

Zero then spotted Yuuki sitting with Ichiru, so he walked over to them with his drink in his hands. Yuuki already seemed drunk, she was giggling and flushed, while Ichiru was flirting some girls nearby.

Zero sat down besides Yuuki, gulping down more of his drink.

"Zero! Glad you could finally make it! Where have you been anyway?" asked Yuuki, she was giggling randomly as she spoke.

Zero fidgeted with his drink a little before answering, "Nothing much, just chatting with that Kuran guy."

"Ohhhh…what were you up to eh?" Yuuki winked while jabbing her elbow into Zero's side. Zero blushed and gulped down more of his drink.

"Quit it Yuuki, we've only been here a while and you're already drunk." Chuckled Zero, he was slowly getting affected by his drink, so he decided to maybe slow down.

"Hey Zero, there you are, Have you seen Kaito with that chick over there, I gotta say he's got one with the ladies." This time Ichiru spoke, while drinking down his beverage. Ichiru could hold his alcohol a little better than most people but he was always over-confident when drunk.

"Yeah, I saw. She's alright I guess, not my type though, too clingy."

Yuuki giggled. "I went to talk to Kaito and her before, I heard her name's Souen Ruka, she's also a friend of Kaname."

"Is she, surprising, Kaname must have many friends scattered over the club, she's probably a vampire too, since she knows of Kuran anyway." Explained Ichiru, while draining down his drink. "Hey Zero, mind getting me a drink?"

"Sure, whatever." Zero drank down his beverage and went to the bar to order for more drinks; two more beers.

He leaned against the counter while waiting for his drinks, until two girls, who were both twins, approached Zero. They both looked identical, except one had blue hair while the other had red hair, which reached up to their elbows. There outfits were the same and matched their hair colour, which Zero thought was pretty cute.

They wore a strapless dress that reached above their knees and heels. Their accessories were a skull choker and gloves that covered their hands up to their wrists. He smiled at them, it seemed like they wanted his attention anyway.

"Hello, can we drink with you?" said the blue-haired girl. Zero nodded.

"Sure thing, what are your names anyway?" asked Zero, gesturing them to sit down beside him.

"You can call me Silver." Replied the blue-haired female.

"Call me Crystal." Answered the red-head.

"Cool, call me Zero then…your names are cute, you guys are twins right, funny, I have a twin brother, he's over there." Zero pointed over to where his brother sat, leaning close to a girl, obviously flirting with her. They nodded and giggled. "Unlike my brother and I, you guys seem to look identical." Chuckled Zero.

They giggled. "It's like our signature look, we like to be really close…" The twins closed in on Zero, basically clingy themselves onto Zero. "Wanna play?" purred the Silver.

Zero began to get nervous due to the twins basically grinding themselves against Zero. "Err…sure?" The twins smirked and pulled Zero onto the dance floor. They started to dance against Zero, riding on him up and down.

Zero smiled, since he was drunk, he began to loosen up and move along with the girls.

Ichiru noticed that Zero hadn't come back with his drink yet, so he looked around for a while before he spotted Zero smiling and dancing with a set of twins, practically clinging themselves against him.

"Well what do you know, hey Yuuki, check this out, Zero's got himself a pair of twins." Yuuki spun her head around to scan the room.

"Where-" Her eyes then landed on a silverette against twins, one with red-hair while the other with blue. "Oh, and Zero said he didn't like the clingy type." Giggled Yuuki.

"Probably because he's drunk, I can tell." Ichiru observed his brother's flushed face and happy expression.

"Anyways, what happened to that girl with the pink hair, she was here just a while ago with you." It was true that Ichiru was with a girl just a while ago, Yuuki though she wasn't Ichiru's type though.

"She went to throw up…" muttered Ichiru. Yuuki laughed.

"C'mon. Let's go get some drinks!" suggested Yuuki, she shot up from her seat and grabbed Ichiru's arm to drag him to the bar. She ordered for some strong shots of tequila.

Zero was getting tired and asked to be excused to the bar, where he sat next to Yuuki and Ichiru. Zero grabbed Ichiru's and gulped it down. Ichiru gave Zero a scowl.

"What you up to with those girls, eh Zero?" winked Yuuki. She was now very flushed and her speech was rather slurred.

"Those girls want to take me outside, said something about privacy…" mumbled Zero, he couldn't tell wether Yuuki was now blushing or just plain surprised. Ichiru patted Zero on the back.

"Good for you Zero, now go and have some fun like you're supposed to." Zero stared wide-eyed at his twin.

"You're crazy! I've only met the girls!" protested Zero.

"So what, loosen up some more." Ichiru handed a shot of tequila to Zero. Zero reluctantly took the glass before draining its contents within one mouthful. "That's my boy, now go get 'em." Ichiru gave Zero a little shove towards Zero, causing him to stumble and nearly trip.

Zero saw the girls leaning across a wall, they looked like they were secretly planning something sinister, but Zero merely shrugged it off walked towards the twins. He knew himself that he needed to loosen up a bit, so perhaps these girls would do. "Hey girls."

Crystal and Silver both looked up at him, smirking at the same time. They both reached out to cling themselves onto Zero's arm. "Let's have some fun, we know just the place…" purred the twins, dragging Zero out into a secluded corridor. I never knew there was a place here.

Both twins pinned down the hunter against the wall, leaning in close and licking both his earlobes at the same time.

"Whoa girls, hold on, I don't think we should do something like this…here." Zero tired to gently push the twins off, but only received a deathly glare from the blue and red heads.

Within an instance, an invisible force had suddenly slammed Zero against the wall, knocking the air out of his lungs. Zero tried to gasp in air, before staring at the twins, whose eyes both flooded with a bright red mist. "W-What?..." He didn't understand, they were…vampires?

Even though they were vampires, he wasn't surprised, he more shocked from the fact of what was going to happen to him if he didn't escape. First, he must find out what they want from him.

"What do you want from me?..." panted Zero, he was still recovering for air after that sudden attack. He didn't know who these girls were since tonight, they didn't quite seem similar to him, he was sure that he hasn't met them before. Did he owe them something? Maybe someone sent them…

"It's simple Kiyruu-san, if you come with us like a good little boy, you and your friends shall be spared…sound fair?" Silver threatened, she displayed a murderous aura that Zero thought was the complete opposite of what he thought she was like.

Her twin was no different though, her eyes were covered in a dreaded lust for hurt and pain. "You might not know us Kiyruu, but we know you very well…" Both twins then removed their gloves, to reveal that the back of their hands had a tattoo of an eye, which had a scar running along the pupil…

"Y-You..." stuttered Zero, he couldn't believe his eyes, these people were the part of the group that attacked Kaito. Zero started to struggle, he started to fear what would happen to himself, and also to his beloved friends who right now were vulnerable due to their alcohol levels. "I'll ask again, what do you want from me?..." repeated Zero.

"What we want from you is partly from our master, Kiyruu, but it does not mean that we want nothing either…" This time Crystal spoke, her face displayed an expression of disgust. "You are the lowest form of a vampire we have ever seen Kiyruu. You are even lower than a level E…you hunt vampires, even though you are solely one yourself…"

Zero wanted to block the words that left her mouth, he never wanted to hear them, not tonight, not ever, but deep down inside he knew she was right, he was the lowest, he had to purely survive on his friend's blood with the help of blood tablets, which unfortunately, were rejected from his body.

"This is because I attacked your clan, isn't it. Ironic, you call me low, when all you do is feed on the lives of innocent people-" Zero was interrupted when an invisible force slashed across his torso. He gasped at the pain, trying to suppress a cry of pain.

"You call us low? How dare you!" Silver's eyes narrowed down to slits. More slashes began to cut through his torso and arms.

Suddenly, two men, a blond and a ginger appeared down the hallway, running towards the twin. The twins immediately took caution of the men and started to run.

"Shit, let's go sis. We'll take care of him next time." Crystal took hold of Silver's hand and ran, dodging the 'ice' attacks that the blonde threw at them.

"Crap, Kain! Go after them! Quick!" The fiery-haired man nodded and began to run after the twins, with a blonde trailing behind him.

Zero collapsed to the ground the instant the twins released him from their grasp. He coughed and twitched at the pain. Dammit, I let my guard down and this is what happens, I knew this was a bad idea…

Zero's wound were healing too slow, whatever attacks the girls planted on him, it caused his healing abilities to slow down, perhaps even stop working all together. He panted heavily, wincing at the at the pain.

Suddenly, out of no where, a woman with short faded-grey hair appeared before Zero. He reacted on reflex and drew out the knife from his waistband and pointed it at the figure.

"My name is Seiren. I'm Kuran Kaname's assistant, I'm here to help you, please bare with me, I'll escort you to his office safely." Zero didn't bother with anyone anymore, he stood up and tired to exit the premises himself, or at least go to a secluded area to clean up.

He staggered for an awhile, before pushing aside Seiren's hand she lent to him. A scowl grew across her face. "You're making this difficult for me Kiyruu-san. It was requested of me to bring you to Kaname-sama, your friends are unaware of the current situation but close friends of Kaname-sama are watching over them for the time being, please come with me if you wish to seek answers."

Zero hesitated, should he have followed her or run away? He cautiously stared at her for a while before answering. "Fine…"

Seiren nodded and went to help Zero by placing one hand on the side and wrapping one of his arm around her neck, carefully assisting the ex-human towards a corridor, up a flight of stairs and through a door leading into Kaname's office.

"Ah, Seiren, thank you for your help, I'll take care of it from here." Kaname walked forward to wave a hand of dismissal to Seiren and focus on the young boy in front of him.

"Always a pleasure Kaname-sama." She bowed and left in a flash. Kaname leaned forward and inspected Zero's torn shirt and wounds, he noticed that they weren't healing. His thoughts drifted of into the scent of Zero's blood that lingered within the air. For a mere level E, his smell was alluring Kaname into a dangerous state, but luckily Kaname just barely controlled himself and returned back to his 'controlled' self.

"Hmmm…how exactly were you attacked? Was it by some sort of anti-vampire weapon?" questioned Kaname, eyes filled with concern.

"I don't know, they did use any weapons though…" replied Zero. He was still panting heavily, mainly due to the reason that he was just previously attacked, not to mention his cuts were not getting any better.

"I see, then there must be some sort of charm situated around this area…I guess it'll have to be inspected later on, but for now, you should try and rest…" Kaname gestured towards a sofa on the side of the room.

Zero limped his ways towards the sofa and sat down, clenching his teeth due to the pain he was enduring. His cuts were starting to heal and cleanse a bit, but only at a slow rate. He placed his feet onto the sofa to fully rest his body.

"Seiren." Called Kaname, and within seconds a slender figure with short hair appeared behind Kaname, bowing down to her superior.

"You called, Kaname-sama." Said Seiren in her monotone voice and expressionless face.

"I need you to do a quick search for any charms or triggers that may be planted within the area, possible start from where Zero as first attacked." Seiren bowed with one arm crossed against her chest and left in an instant, leaving not even the sound of her departure.

Kaname sighed as he glanced at the sleeping Zero, who seemed to started sweating quite feverishly over the past minutes. Kaname's browed knitted together as he started to feel concerned about the ex-human. He shook his head to clear his mind, why should I care so much.

He walked over to his desk and rested his elbows on the desk while resting his head on his hands. Immediately, two young men walked into the room. Hanabusa Aidou and Akatsuki Kain, they were both panting and disappointed.

They both bowed. "Kaname-sama, I'm sorry but we lost them." Apologized Aidou, he had tried to chase the twins and avoid using any on his powers in a public crowd, but they were extremely fast and quick on their feet. Kain on the other hand, nearly got hold of them in his grasp, unfortunately they were armed with their own type of powers.

"Do not worry, at least we know what they look like, we can easily capture them." We waved a hand of dismissal and both men left. The reason why Kaname was trying to capture these twins were because they were part of a anti-hunter clan that are currently listed on the hunter's and vampire's bounty list. They were a disgrace to the vampire race and disgusting to the hunters.

What they did was quite unknown but enough for them to be noticed by the association and council. They were repeatedly kidnapping innocent human beings and killing them for god knows what reason, but Kaname was aware they had a motive behind it all.

There was a sound of quick movement, as Seiren entered into the room, bowing down to the pureblood.

"Kaname-sama, I'm afraid there appears to be no sign of any charms or hazardous items placed within this whole area." Kaname slightly frowned, if there were no charms or any signs of the place being bugged, then what caused the ex-human's healing abilities to falter like this?

There was a small groan as heads turned to look at the hunter in distress. Seiren observed the sight and had a realisation.

"It seems that Kiyruu-san has been infected by some sort of poison…not only that but I believe it's designed purely for vampires." Declared Seiren as she stared at the pureblood with cold emotionless eyes.

Kaname started worry even more, was he going to die? Was there a cure? Kaname shook away his thoughts, why did this level E concern him so much, no one made him feel so…out of place. He got up and stood next to the ex-human, who was still sweating and in agony. His eyes were shut closed as if the pain was treacherous.

"Is there any possible way to help him?" asked Kaname, Seiren slightly frowned at the question.

"There…is a way…but…" Seiren was going over her words as if she had to choose then carefully. "I'm afraid there are only five different types of anti-vampire poisons known in whole world. All which have different methods of cure and dangers." Kaname shifted slightly, he was starting to feel uncomfortable with the information he was given.

"So we need to analyse what poison is in his body, so that we can gain information on his cure?" replied Kaname, Seiren nodded and frowned alight again. She already had a clue to what poison ran through Zero's vein, and she was pretty sure Kaname would not like to hear it.

"I'm afraid there might be a possibility to what the poison is, Kaname-sama." Kaname raised an eyebrow. "The anti-hunter clan that targeted Zero had recently got hold of only one particular anti-vampire poison, or so I have been informed…" Kaname frowned, so she's aware of what poison it is…but why is she so hesitant of telling me this?

(A/N: I made this name us completely from the top of my head, so I don't know if its real or not, but I'm pretty sure its made up so yeah, sorry for crappy fake title .)

"It's called paralysicita, a particularly unique type of poison that guarantees death within 24 hours…" Kaname's heart sank as the news, he felt so much pity for this youth that it almost crushed him…

Kaname stared at the boy with saddened eyes, Seiren noticed this affection and bit on her lower lip. "Kaname-sama, there is only one known way of curing a person poisoned by paralystica…" Kaname looked up to her with a curious expression.

"But the cure has two possible outcomes, it can either help Kiyruu-san recover successfully from this illness or…depending on the situation, could possible kill him instantly…" Seiren stared at her lord with cold eyes.

"The only way to cure him now is to offer him you're the blood of a pureblood…"

Kaname's eyes widened, he never expected that Zero would need the blood of a pureblood, and judging by their current situation, he was the only candidate. That is, if he was willing to help save this ex-human from death or just dig the hole faster.

"Kaname-sama, I am aware that you have never given your blood to any one in your whole life before…would you be willing for the first time to save this…level E?" Kaname stared into her challenging eyes, but it was true that he had never given his blood to anyone in his life before, and to offer it to a level E would rather be…unreasonable to many people. He sighed and stared down to the struggling youth, what choice did he have? It was obvious that he had loving friends that cared deeply for him.

Kaname grabbed hold of Zero's shirt and pulled him towards himself.

"You owe me for this Zero."
