Chapter 3
Asato Ichijou was a perfectionist and a type of a vampire that plans for tomorrow.
Being the head of the Council was all a part of his plan. Every decision he made was carefully decided and for the past two centuries of his life, he already anticipated the 'expect the unexpected' situation. But this situation was far from what he expected. No, he didn't expect for this to happen.
Asato Ichijou; an aristocrat, and grandfather of Takuma Ichijou along with being the head of the Vampire Council was standing in front of their precious pureblood's blood tablet.
He was in a secret cave that no one but the higher ranks of vampires knew about, a secret base where things that were too precious for them to reveal are secretly hidden.
He wants to confirm it for himself, if the letter that he received a short time ago was true. Because, for the first time in a long time, Asato didn't know how to react on this situation.
His eyes were wide, he was sweating tremendously and his legs were shaking. There, in front of him, written on the tablet of a family name that was not supposed to be there. A family name that was famous for not being purebloods but hunters instead.
The Kiryuu's name was there between the families of Shirabuki's and Kuran's. So the letter was true.
The Kiryuu's are supposed to be purebloods and not hunters. But how? Why now? He'd double check again the name again to see if they are the same Kiryuu's that he knows.
When his eyes lands on the name of the last of the Kiryuu's and he freezes. Zero Kiryuu.
There were thousands of questions that Asato would like to ask him. But he knows, that he can't question the Kiryuu's being pureblood's because whatever is written on the tablet was final and accurate and he also knows that from that day, he will serve yet another pureblood that he surely despises.
'I smell trouble and I know that neither the Council nor the Hunters will like it'
He moaned from ecstasy.
The pleasure was too much to bear.
Wondering hands were touching him everywhere.
Lips were sucking the most sensitive place of his neck.
His lover was on top of him while he writhes under from pleasure.
His moans were getting louder when his lover thrust hard against his prostrate.
"Zero" his lover moaned with love and lust mixed together as they moved together.
Their eyes met and he could see the love and care reflected in those chocolate eyes behind the heavy lust.
The movement was getting aggressive and with every second that have passed but neither of them pay attention.
The only thing on their mind was to be like this forever.
He can feel a nipped on his shoulder, a sign that he was being mark by the other.
"Zero… I love…." And with one final thrust. The dream ended
"KANAME" Zero bolted up fromthe bed; he was breathing heavily, his skin was flushed and was sweating a lot.
"What? A Dream?" he sighed after he regain his breathing.
"Kaname wouldn't see me like that, he's getting married, he chose Yuuki over you so get over it, Zero" he scolded himself.
He wanted to forget about everything in the dream, and sighed again as he found himself studying the place he was currently in.
He didn't recognize the place, it felt familiar but not. The room was lavish and elegant; he was sitting on a king size bed with beddings as soft as silk, and he was wearing the softest pair of pajamas and all of the things of the room look more expensive than he had ever seen. The place was quiet and the only thing that he could hear was the sounds of the birds and the blowing of the wind.
"Where…?" he never finished his question as the door opens. His hunter senses immediately on guard as he frantically searched for his gun but he couldn't find it anywhere and he was still feeling faint.
"Zero-sama, I'm glad you're up" a cool voice greeted on him. Zero looked up at the man.
The man standing in front of him was tall, pale, with emerald eyes, a shaggy brunette and a bit masculine; all in all, the man was extremely handsome except for his pointy ears.
He was wearing a butler suit and he was holding a tray that filled with tea, pancakes, apple and biscuit.
Zero stared at him and finally asked "Who are you?"
The man laid the tray on Zero's bedside table then turned to him and bow.
"I'm one of your humble servants, Zero-sama"
Zero blinked once. Twice."Eh?" was the only thing he could muster.
"My name is Laurent, one of the faithful servants of the Kiryuu's" Laurent said with a calm tone.
"We been waiting for you for a long time, Lucas-sama and Eloi-sama will be here for two hours"
"Wait a sec…"
"Zero-kun, you're up" a familiar voice greeted him and he turned to the side to see the boy standing in the far corner of the room.
"What…"
"Just like Laurent-kun said, he is one of the loyal servants of your predecessors and about Lucas-kun and Eloi-kun; they are a few of the aristocrats who follows the Kiryuu's"
Zero was feeling dizzy.
'So there are vampires that followed us' He thought dizzily.
"Laurent-kun, Let me talk to Zero-kun alone."
The butler bowed and excuses himself. "How long was I out?" Zero asked after a minute.
"A week and don't worry I called the academy to let them know you'll extend your so called trip for another two weeks or so"
"I see" He then notices that his hair grown longer that it uses to be.
He was too dizzy to stand up so he can't tell how long.
All he knew was that his hair was hanging off the bed.
He was still curious to what else about him had changed.
He jumped when the kid started to talk.
"This is the Kiryuu's Mansion, everything in it is yours. You have servants here and they are lots of them. They are elves, not vampires, and they are waiting for the Kiryuu heir to lead them and order them."
"So that means…"
"It means they have been waiting for you for five centuries, don't worry they take good care of your belongings and wealth. The Kiryuu's were the only pureblood families that have elves as their servants"
"I see" Zero looked down at his hands as if he was observing and he caught a mark on his right palm that was not there before.
"What is this?" he asked and raise his palm so that the boy can see.
The mark was a lotus; a lotus with thorns surrounding it.
The boy look at it for a few seconds then answered "Oh that… That was the mark of the Kiryuu, it means you are a pureblood; you can let the council and hunters see that for you to be consider as true heir of the Kiryuu's"
"The council and the hunters? Do they know?" Zero asked nervously.
"Ah… yes… I called and ordered Lucas-kun to send them letters regarding of your standing to the vampire society"
Zero's eyes went wide.
Kaname was nervous although he would never admit it.
This is the day that he will finally make a decision for himself and not for others.
This is the day where he'll dissolve the engagement between him and his beloved sister.
He was one of the meetings that the head of the council had called for.
They are in the Ichijou's Mansion.
He was sitting elegantly on one of the most expensive couches.
He sipped his wine while observing his surroundings.
Yuuki was chatting happily with Aidio and Ruka.
The poor girl didn't have a clue that her beloved brother was canceling a dream that she had been waiting for a long time.
Surprisingly, all of the aristocrats and remaining purebloods were present.
"I wonder what grandfather wants" Takuma was beside him and smiling cheerfully at him.
Kaname frowned; it was unusual for a meeting to have all high ranking members in the vampire society there, but he doesn't want to think about it, all he wants is to get rid of the engagement and be with his love.
"Ne Takuma? I changed my mind; I want to wait to cancel the engagement." Takuma's eyes went wide and before he could open his mouth, his grandfather stood up to greet everyone.
"Good days my fellow vampires" He smiled then his eyes went cold and his face hardened.
From his expression, they all know that whatever Asato would announce to them, it was bad news.
"I have some surprise news for you, two days ago I have receive a letter from our ally the Rousseau family from France, It's quite disturbing and unbelievable at first but I've found it intriguing so I investigate it myself and found it's real and validated" Asato took a moment to study everyone who are present and found different kinds of expression, some of them are intrigue, curious, frowns and indifferent.
"I've found out that the Kiryuu's are not Hunters but Purebloods" and for that sentence only.
Chaos erupted from the Mansion.
Some of them are shouting not believing the words that Asato just uttered.
Some of are questioning harshly and impatiently.
But none of them notices the wine glass that Kaname just held a few moments ago shattered into tiny pieces.
None of them noticed the wide eyed shocked expression on his face. Kaname was in turmoil, he didn't know what to say or do for that moment. He just sat there stunned while the others are protesting openly.
Yuuki was also shock, she had her hands cupped her mouth.
"It's ridiculous" Hanabusa Aidio shouted fiercely and gained everyone's attention.
"Asato-sama it's impossible; the Kiryuu's are hunters. They can't be purebloods from all this time. It's absurd, they are the scum of our society, a species that can be crushed anytime" he explained.
"They are…" he never got to finish the words that he wants to utter when Asato interrupted him.
"Hanabusa-kun, I wouldn't say that if I were you." He said calmly but there was a hidden threat in there.
"Like I said a while ago; I've confirmed it for myself, I checked the pureblood's blood tablet and the name of the Kiryuu's are there"
"But…."
"No buts" he shouted and then sighed "The only thing that we can do is to accept the only remaining heir of the Kiryuu's and that is no other than; Zero Kiryuu"
Then the room was full of gasped and denials.
"I won't believe it" Kaito Takamiya shouted and he slammed his hands on the long table.
He couldn't believe it. He refused to believe it. There was no way he would believe the lies that were being presented at the meeting. Zero can't be a pureblood.
"Kaito, calm down" Touga suggested when he sees Kaito was running out of patience.
"Calm down? How can I calm down? When meetings that are ridiculous as this are presented?" He shouted again and walked out from the meeting room.
Touga just sighed while the others kept arguing about what to do.
'This is bad'
Shall be continue?
