His heart.

Chapter three
Pawn
Merely a pawn in that game you call love.
Half the people in this world didn't realize how they were being played, the people in particular that got involved. We were all being led along the same line he wanted us to. He was most likely chipping my life away bit by bit. For if the piece goes untouched, one remains undead, caught half way between immortality and death. The finest line separates love from hate, now my love for that boy, had turned to an everlasting, burning hatred.
"Kaname-senpai!" Now it was my turn to play him, calling his name in that shrill joyous way, like nothing had happened. Luring him in with the same voice every day, the cheerful part of me was dying, and it needed to be regained. It's my turn to break him; I was tired of him breaking me. I didn't wait for a reply; with the design of the building so memorized I invited myself in, and found my way to his room.
My eyes flickered to the forever unfinished game of chess sitting on his desk. A variety of black and white marble crumbled among the still standing pieces. I watched the damaged, glossy black knight, as his fingers hovered over it, mind crying for his hand to back away. "Zero's piece." I clamped my hand over my mouth, those words slipping from my lips before I could think otherwise.
Kaname smiled that sick sweet smile. "Correct." That look he gave me was intoxicating. "You have one too." My teeth clenched, but to him it was unnoticeable, and I walked over to inspect the chess game.
"I'm that pawn; aren't I?" I fingered the glossy pallid pawn, perched on a black tile at the near edge of the board. It was covered in nicks, small flaws all over, but I pretended I didn't understand what they meant.
"And the queen." His eyes followed my hands, probably making sure I didn't interfere with anything important.
"And?" I didn't expect him to answer. The queen was absolutely flawless, polished in black finish. It didn't even sit upon the board yet, being held off to the side. Like, another half of me undiscovered. I pushed aside my curiosity and got ready to say goodbye. I've had the words planned in my head, now it was time to put them to the test.
He stood and I propped myself up on my toes. My lips hovered over his, senses immediately shutting down, and I couldn't help but wonder if this is what I needed to do. "This innocence is killing me." My breath lingered on his skin and silence invaded the words.
"What are you trying to say?" He knew what I meant, he was able to read me like a book, but his voice had that cold warning tone. I pressed my lips against his, allowing him to savor it. But instead he took it as an opening, pushing me against the couch, and pinning me there, strong hands repelling me from escape. I struggled to get away, but he held me there, face remaining calm, serene, as he came in closer. His crimson eyes reflected against my pale skin.
"Kaname-senpai!" I shrieked, while he remained unbothered.
"What do you want that I can't give you?" He hissed, breath tickling the skin at me neck.
I didn't care about what he said anymore, all I focused on now was what Zero told me if one was bitten by a pureblood. For if one is bitten by a pureblood, their blood either becomes toxic to them, and they die; or they transform into a monster, eventually being crushed down to a level where the bloodlust is too powerful for control. Beasts trapped in human form, now even Kaname fell under that category; there were few who didn't.
I screamed his name one last time, as his tongue wet my skin. Immediately after, the faint click of a chain rang in my ear, the weight being was flung from my body, and the shrill cry of a gunshot echoed though the room. I bolted to a sitting position, opening my eyes. Revealing the silver tint of the gun reflected against the moonlight flooding into the area, and Zero standing before Kaname. His 'Bloody Rose' aimed at the spot where the bullet had pierced into the wall.
"Kiryuu." Kaname rasped, glaring at him with the hatred he always gave. I watched them unmoving, Kaname crushed against the wall and Zero holding him in place.
"What'd you think that was going to fix?" He lowered the boy to the floor. "And next time, I'll make sure it kills you." He held the pistol to his head. "I guarantee it."
"Zero!" I leapt from where I sat and plunged into him. He froze at the abruptness, but quickly softened, arm declining from Kaname and gun falling from his hand. I could feel my eyes gloss over, and tears slide down my face. I made my gasps for air just loud enough for Kaname to hear, naturally breaking his heart with his own faults.
Zero held me closer, making his glare on Kaname harder, colder. "And to think you used to make her happy." The unspoken words hung in the air, and he brought me to my feet.
We looked like one of a kind, standing there so perfect. I smirked down at Kaname with a kind of triumph. He'd always thought Zero and I were like trying to mix oil and water, who said it was impossible?
"I don't think you understand." Kaname stood. "You're opening yourself up to death, Kiryuu."
Zero stepped up, pressing his hand against Kaname's jaw, tilting his head back. "If you ever really loved her you'd let her leave without harm." Zero whispered harshly into his ear. Kaname swatted his hand away and walked off to his desk. Eyes darting though the placement of the chess game, he leered, preparing to chip off another part of the knight.
I swiftly got the pistol into my fingers and aimed it at the pureblood. He merely turned around, holding the piece between two fingers, like a man would a cigar. "This is your life, Kiryuu. Let it shatter and your existence goes with it."
Zero didn't take the event as a charity. "Murderer." He hissed to Kaname, before he dragged me from the room; keeping the silence to focus to the possible sound of following steps.
