WORDS OF A MISTAKEN LIAR
Chapter One
Fate of the Damned
"West wing's clear!" the ear-communicator resounded loudly in my ear. I groaned as I shot 3 vampires consecutively in one blow, blood splattered around the stained walls as they disintegrated.
"Well, that's the last of them." Ichiru muttered slashing one female Level E, "Main Hall, clear." He spoke through his communicator as he swung his sword to get rid of the blood. He held his minor injury on his shoulder, "Just look around. I'll wrap this up." He said sitting on the empty chair as he got out his bandage from his coat pocket.
I nodded and looked at the walls, my eyes evenly trailed the paintings and other furniture left. I touched the dried blood stains following its shape with my finger.
"Nostalgic, isn't it?" Ichiru muttered from behind.
I removed my hand from the wall and glared at him, "Let's go." I walked towards the entrance door as he followed from behind. We walked out and walked around the old mansion, the others were already there—only 4 members left inside the mansion, sadly, the three were all rookies.
"Zero! Ichiru!" Someone called out; it was a voice that no one in the Kiryu family would dare forget. He then placed his arms around me, "You were a bit late this time, what happened?"
I shrugged and moved away, "Stay away from me, gay."
Kaito moved away acting hurt, "Really now?" I ignored him as I drank water from my duffle bag placed in one of the vans. He seemed to give up and turned to Ichiru, "What happened to you?" He eyed the bandage around his shoulder.
Ichiru laughed and threw me a towel; he then turned to Kaito stretching his arms, "Just more meaningless Vampire attacks."
The light-haired brunette nodded his face turning serious, "True, their race seems to have been increasing in number these past few months… Sadly, there was no evidence tracking on who created them." He sighed and patted my head, "Well, as long as we have you two here. I doubt we'd have any problems."
I swatted his hand away, "Go die." I snarled.
Then someone spoke from behind, "Zero, Ichiru, Kaito," we turned around looking at an eye-patched male, "we'll be leaving now."
"What about the others?" Kaito demanded, "Where are they?"
My sensei sighed and lit his cigar, "They have all the time they want, the others will still be staying." Every word he spoke made smoke leave from his mouth, "We'll be meeting with an old acquaintance."
I hesitated, "Where would we be going?" I asked.
There was a short silence, "…you'll know when we get there…"
The three of us entered the car; Kaito was seated in the passenger seat beside my sensei who was driving, while me and Ichiru stayed at the back cleaning our weapons.
"What exactly do you need us for, sensei?" Ichiru asked as he ran the cloth over his katana's base.
I looked in front and saw him looking at us through the rear-view mirror, "I won't promise you that it would be easy or anything…"
"Seriously?" Kaito asked.
My sensei hesitated for a moment then sighed heavily, "As I said earlier, you'll know when we get there."
After a couple of hours of restless tension in the car, we finally reached a huge… school?
The ebony gates opened for the car to enter, we walked out and stared at how huge the area was. I could feel something wrong, something's here… I looked at one of the buildings; one person was looking at us from the window. I glared and a low snarl erupted from my mouth, the person dropped the curtains while I trailed my eyes on the said window wanting to break it.
"What's wrong, Z?" Ichiru asked me looking to where I was staring.
I clenched my fists, "Vampires…"
"Zero, Ichiru, over here." Kaito spoke calmly.
I groaned and Ichiru sighed, he pulled me to where they were headed. The closer we seem to get to the said place, the more my head ached… the more I wanted to run out… I breathed slowly as my heart raced. My senses screamed to take my gun and shoot everything dead, but my sensei seemed so calm that made my senses wreck me.
Ichiru noticed my uneasiness and smirked, "Don't worry, Z." he said calmly placing an arm over my shoulder, "I'll protect you." He whispered smugly in my ear.
With that, I snapped, I threw him away and groaned. He laughed against the ground loudly, "O-ow my shoulder…" he muttered through his endless laugh. I was choosing between shooting him right here and stepping on his wounded shoulder. But being his oh-so-kind brother, I decided not to.
"Go ahead and die." I muttered leaving him behind.
He immediately stood up and jumped to me, "Kaito, Zero-chan's being mean…"
Kaito laughed, "Whatever you two."
My sensei looked at me seriously as I dropped Ichiru on his feet, "What?" I asked
"Just… whatever…" He walked towards a house-like building and opened the door. We were greeted by… really, an acquaintance.
"Zerorin, Ichirin!" the blonde haired freak yelled lunging towards us, I could practically remember the first time I met this immature hunter... I shook my head from the memory.
Ichiru moved away from him and pulled me along; he dropped directly to the floor, "T-that was mean, Ichirin!"
I sighed and rubbed the bridge of my nose, "What the hell are we doing here, sensei?" I muttered in disgust to this disgraceful hunter.
He merely sighed, "Cross, you better start talking to them… it's almost their time."
The blonde nodded, "Well, actually, we have two guests today. They'll be a little late." He smiled brightly at us, "But I'm sure you'd like to meet them."
[Kaname's POV]
Seiren bowed before me, she was talking about something… I wasn't actually listening to her; I was doing paperwork and what-not in the afternoon. So I was definitely displeased by this and not only that, I never knew there were two late comers for the Moon Dormitory. They never went through the interview nor do I even know who they are. And yet now I had to fix the room attendance to fit them in, since there is only one single room left in the whole male dormitory.
I dropped my pen when I heard the words that barely processed through my brain, "What did you say, Seiren?" I asked coldly getting my pen and placing it aside.
She looked at me and bowed low again, "About the two late comers, they aren't vampires." She spoke slowly, "The Chairman said they are twin hunters which you were once acquainted with."
"Don't tell me…" I stared at her as she spoke.
"It's the Kiryu Twins, my Lord"
It took me a while to actually react, I nodded. I clenched and unclenched my fists from the annoyance; why… I stood up and walked around. Seiren looked at me, "When will they arrive?" I asked.
"Later, my Lord," she said, "and the Chairman said he would want you, my Lord, and Yuki-sama's presence."
I dismissed her and sat on the chair, I closed my eyes in anxiety. I didn't know what to do… I'd never expect to actually see them again. I've already heard about them, I already knew where they were… I've seen them grow in pictures, and I've read their records. But I never expected to talk, more over look at them face to face.
It's been 7 years since that day, and there are times when it continued to haunt me. But the worse problem is that… I sighed… "I just don't care anymore." I thought running my fingers through my hair…
I didn't know what time it was, I didn't care about my paperwork. I wasn't doing anything, I was simply staring at the ceiling… waiting for God knows what. I eventually closed my eyes in this peace…
Suddenly the door slammed open, "What is it, Yuki?" I muttered, my eyes remain closed, and then something heavy weighed to my stomach. I opened my eyes looking at Yuki who was sitting on me with a happy smile on her face.
She stood up and jumped happily, "Zero's back!" She yelled, "Ichiru's back! They're both back!"
I sat up hearing the news, I looked out the window… it was already midday. Then I noticed that Yuki was still jumping but her voice sounded weird, "They're… back…"
I turned towards her, tears was streaming down her face. Her eyes were dull… and she muttered the same thing again and again, "They're here…" She looked at me, "And I don't know what to do…"
She was crying now, "I'm happy… I'm so happy…" she was smiling at me like I granted her the wish she forever dreamed off, "Oh… thank the heavens…"
I nodded and hugged her, "I know, Yuki."
She was still crying when she asked, "W-What will we do?"
I looked down at her, "What do you mean?"
"It's been 7 years, Nii-sama!" She said as she cried, "I don't know how I could face them… I don't know if they'll forgive me… I don't know…"
"Yuki, surely…" I spoke, but my voice trailed off. In my heart, I didn't know… I didn't know… what I would do…
[Normal POV]
Everything was practically being explained on Zero's side, but the two silverettes seem to dislike the idea.
"You're saying we're here to survey the school?" Zero repeated, his voice interlaced with venom and annoyance, "This school where humans and vampires co-exist?"
"Yes, Zero," the chairman spoke calmly not wanting to fan the fire, "I understand that this wasn't the best decision made, but I needed to find a way to show the VHA and the Senate that Vampires and Humans can co-exist peacefully without war."
"Peacefully?" Zero groaned, "Do you have any idea that one small snap within the Moon dormitory and all those humans would die? You're meaninglessly trying to save lives by making them your very own guinea pigs."
"I have to agree with Zero, Cross-san." Ichiru said briefly, "This might not be the best decision."
"But really, isn't this better than mercilessly loosing live of vampires and humans altogether?" Kaien defended calmly, "There are things that we have to measure for the good of all, we cannot spare both lives without co-existence, Kiryu."
"Co-existence is another way for surprise attacks!" the older silverette demanded, "Everyone would act as if they'd weaken their defences, but one small mistake could lead to another War. Think about how many lives would be wasted on just the stupid idea of co-existence."
"We've tried it once before, Cross-san," Ichiru added, "and truthfully, it wasn't the best idea… It just led to bigger problems."
Before Kaien could talk Kaito moved before the twins, "Then again you two, this school's been staying strong for 4 years. I doubt your opinions would matter anyway. And besides, what could happen. You two are the best trained hunters within the VHA. What could happen?"
Zero glared at Kaito, "That makes no difference, no matter how strong we are. The possibilities of actually stopping everyone are low-slung."
Ichiru sighed, "But no matter how much we complain, we're still going to do it are we?"
My sensei nodded, "Though I dislike the idea of this school, we have no choice. You were the ones the President picked, that's why it's up to you to check every possible detail within it. Surely… you'd make this school stronger." He looked at us seriously, "If you want to stop the war, and then stop complaining and start working on co-existence… But I still hate the idea."
Kaien walked to the silverettes and smiled, "It's all up to you two, Zero-kun, Ichiru-kun." The chairman said kindly, "Just work together and live normally in this school. We won't let you bear the trouble of getting into meaningless arguments. All the vampires here are under the contract of co-existence. So don't worry."
Zero glared at Kaien, he hated the idea. It was stupid; sure… there would be co-existence but then again… Ignorance is temporary. Once the last leaf has fallen another war would begin, there would be no point for peace. There was no point for sympathy. There is only hell in this world… Blessings were for the blind and the weak. Those who can stand and walk know the true pain for reality…
Ichiru agreed and looked at Zero. His eyes still reflected hate and annoyance, "If something were to happen, don't blame me if someone dies." Zero muttered as the papers were given.
Kaien shook his head, "Killing and drinking blood is forbidden within the school campus."
The silverette looked at the chairman and sighed, "Tch,"
The twins signed the letter quickly, Zero finished his last stroke. Then they were greeted by a brief knock on the door. Everyone stared at the door half expecting one crazed vampire to come it…
The Chairman simply stood up and walked to the mahogany doors of the house, he had a soft smile over his lips, "The others have arrived." He opened the door revealing two familiar brunettes enter, "Everyone, this is Haruka and Juri Kuran."
By the mention of their names the twins stood up…
…Damn fate…
