Chapter 3: Understand
The day…. Well technically the night ends smoothly besides the continuously flirt from Hayate, the glares that she receives from the female vampires except Yuuki and the strange stare or glance from Kaname and Aidou... Besides that, it was running normal as always…
Zero stands in front to the full length mirror, she was wearing a lavender pajama that matches her eyes; she was in her new bedroom and she didn't like it a bit. All of the things in her room are way to girly for her taste. When she says 'girly', she meant that her bed is pink, her cabinet is pink, her walls are pink and to her pure horror, her personal bathroom is all color peach. If killing a human isn't a sin, she choked the chairman to death by now.
She let out a heavy sighed and look at her new appearance even she sees her new reflection for more than a year, she thinks she will never get used to it… she missed her original body, the lean but muscled body, the height and the private part of course… tsk… Being a girl is troublesome, very troublesome. She felt small 'Thank God, I'm a little taller than Yuuki' she thought but suddenly frowned 'But I'm still small when it compares to that bitch Ruka'. She touched carefully her now luscious lips then feel her smooth and creamy cheek, her eyebrows that belongs only to girls, her chin and then she cupped her Type C boobs and moan a little 'It's sensitive' she blushed at the thought, then she look at her hands, her hands from before a calloused, now it's smooth and fragile looking. 'Fragile? Huh?' she chuckled at herself. Never in her life had that she will describe at herself as fragile. 'Small? Yes… but never fragile… I'm different than those girls' she encourages herself.
She opened her mouth, stared at her fangs and closed right away.
"Tsk… even that bloody sorcerer turns me into girl… she can't remove the beast within me…" she cursed.
She felt worse when she knew that she was still a blood sucking beast; 'A Vampire' but she was a little thankful when she can drink Blood Tablets again. She felt the strange power within her veins but she never tried anything unusual because she was afraid to try it so she pretends that it was perfectly normal.
She looked again at her reflection and looked at her tattoo even though her body is for female, the tattoo didn't leave her. She thinks it is a reminder that she is still Kiryuu Zero 'the exhuman and the vampire hunter'. Thankfully, she got a long hair that can cover the tattoo.
"It's a matter of time when the Day class idiots notices it" she muttered at herself 'Well, I'm sure I can handle the questions' she added confidently.
"And there's no way in hell they think that Kiryuu Zero and Yagari Zero are the same person" she paced back and forth.
"And think about it, what mind they would have if they think that a boy can change into a girl so suddenly" she chuckled at herself and stopped "Oh man, I'm doomed if they know" she cradled her head with her hands and raffled her long and silky lavender hair.
Then she walks to her bed, sat down and lay down.
'Enough of this nonsense thoughts, I'm going to sleep' she thought soberly and find a good spot to sleep.
A few moments later… Zero slept and dream.
In the dream
Zero was still in a male form, he walks to a secluded area; doing his job as a hunter and finding a Level E to kill.
He stops when he sees an old hag troubling in handling her things so he decided to help her.
"Ummm… Oba-san… I'll help you with that"
"Oh… Thank you so much; young lad" answered the grateful old lady while handling her stuff to Zero.
"Where to?"
"Just follow me lad"
They walk silently and when they reach in their destination, Zero looked at his surrounding and found out that there are no other people around but them and he turn quizzically to the old lady and asked.
"If I remember correctly, there's no one living here. Are you sure this is your place?" he observed the vacant place, no house or apartment can be found; only trees and grasses then the old lady turn to Zero with an unreadable expression and said.
"You have sorrowful eyes young lad" she began.
Zero was about to open his mouth when the lady spoke again.
"Your suffering because you feel alone, You don't trust anyone not even yourself, You hate the vampires because of your lost family and you hate yourself the most because you are one of them" her voice where filled with sympathy but cold… Zero can't speak, his body feels numb, he thinks his going to be sick so he let the lady continue and think 'who the hell is she?'
"Who am I? That's what you thought right?" she asked and smiled when she noticed Zero widen his eyes.
"I'm a sorcerer and I know who you are, Kiryuu Zero-kun… Everything about you"
"You feel betrayed to the person you cherished and the only one reason, that kept you going is that you think all those beast must die first and then you" she looked at him and sighed.
"You're blinded by hatred and because of that you didn't see what's missing…" she gave him a strange smile and spoke yet again.
"I feel sorry for you; you are pitiful enough that I can't stop myself in helping you; to see what's best for you"
"Therefore" she started "Use this opportunity to understand what you really want"
"From this day forward, I'll give you a gift that you will never forget, a gift that will remain with you forever and never be broken" the sorcerer spoke calmly and added calmly.
"The he will become a she and can never be broken" then the sorcerer in question vanished into thin air.
Zero was knocked into slumber.
End of the dream
The current Zero let a huge gasps, her eyes are wide and there were tear stains on her flushed cheeks.
She grasps her head with her right hand and muttered "I'll still don't understand"
Then the sunrise comes…
