The Evening Family News
"Zero…" Kaname inquired curiously. It had to be Zero. Who else would drink blood on site? He growled fiercely gnashing his teeth together.
Previously he had been making his way towards Yuki's post in hopes of quenching his thirst for Yoko by being with his bubbly girl. Yuki could always make him feel less stressed and peaceful. However, Yoko's scent caught his attention before he could even depart the courtyard. She was obviously losing a lot of blood. The aroma danced with the breeze and suffocated his nostrils. The only logical explanation he could come up with was Zero losing his control.
The boy had previously held her so close and tightly it was as though they were attached by the hip. Kaname was willing to overlook the comfort Yoko found in Zero's presence, but he couldn't ignore the possessiveness and smug attitude Zero emitted when clinging to her earlier. He was pleased to gain something Kaname could never truly obtain.
"Kaname Senpai!" Yuki called out urgently, "Kaname!" she dashed across the field to his side.
"What is it Yuki?" he asked absentmindedly, "Do you know where that Yoko girl has gotten to? I can smell her blood." His tone was serene and his expression, impassive.
"Oh, no!" Yuki gasped fearfully, "Aido and Kain sent me to get you and Zero! They said something about another night student." She hastily reported, tugging on his sleeve desperately.
"Go fetch Zero and tell him to meet with us by the forest edge. I'll go ahead and deal with this problem myself, but I need you to speak with Takuma and tell him to keep the students inside." He ordered gently while stroking her arm soothingly. She blushed at the affection and nodded furiously before rushing back into the night.
He turned from her fading silhouette to gaze into the woods afar, sniffing a little, "Here I was hoping I would have the privilege of putting that dog down..." He sighed and trotted towards the foliage, scraping his sharp finger nails against the bark of the trees as he went.
"What do you want?" she had stuttered. She had obviously been scared of him. He almost smirked into her neck, as he thought of her pain packed whimper. She was worth the punishment he'd receive. She was probably worth more. Being detained to his room for a month would be nothing with this memory in mind. The shredding of the flesh of her neck… The tears mingling with the blood that spilled over her paling cheeks and the shaking of her whole being... The ecstasy was almost too much for him and his legs buckled slightly from the richness of the iron taste.
"What are we going to do with him when we find them?" Kain asked his cousin, as they ran towards the strong fragrance of Yoko's blood.
"Well first we'll make sure she's alive. Otherwise Kaname will kill us." Aido stated seriously.
For Kain he seemed a little too serious to be taken lightly, "Would he really kill us for this?"
Aido didn't reply, as they spotted a hunched figure clutching to another. They held one another like desperate lovers entangled in the passions of love and lust. The cousins stopped a few feet away, trying to assess the situation.
He sank his fangs in deeper and was greeted with another low gasp. Her tight grip loosened and he closed his eyes with great delight. She was his. He had almost consumed her entirely now. He could foresee the end of her. A pale form splayed out on the finely cut grass. Discovered at dawn coated in dirty dried blood he had spilled in his crazed stupor for a drink. He could imagine the glassiness of her tearful eyes and the puffiness. Her cheeks would be tinged blue as well. His grin lengthened again, tugging at her body to get a firmer grip.
He was thrown back from the young girl.
Aido and Kain jumped in surprise, as Zero latched onto the vampire and shoved him away from her. Yoko fell to the ground on her hands and knees, attempting to breathe.
"What do you think you're doing?" Zero shouted at them. Aido flinched when he brought the bloody rose from his pocket and aimed for the blood-drenched vampire, "Both of you just stood there and watched!"
Yoko slowly raised her head from the grass and looked at them, "You were here with him?" she asked with a confused frown. Blood was smeared around her face and dripped to the muddy grass.
Aido cringed and turned from the delicious sight.
"We arrived shortly before Zero and were trying to think of what would have been the best course of action." Kain droned.
Yoko could not refrain from shaking. She wheezed loudly for air, gripping the punctures in her neck.
Zero lowered his gun, as Kaname entered the scene.
Ignoring Zero's thunderous glare, Kaname gripped the vampire on the floor and lifted him from the earth. The vampire shuddered, as Kaname fixed him with a deep stare and then suddenly smacked him. The vampire wailed, as Kaname's claws deeply embedded themselves into his left cheek and tore away not only fresh, muscle and blood, but also bone as the nails left his visage.
"If you touch her again, or any student, I will kill you." The vampire shivered, "Now what do you have to say to Yoko?"
With a sudden ounce of stupidity the dark haired vampire leered, "What's the matter Kaname? Is she worth something to you? What happened to little Yuki? I must admit though… you have great taste." He gloated, happily licking his lips clean from her blood despite the pain in his jaw from the slap. Kaname scowled and gritted his fangs together threateningly.
Yoko trembled with fright. The sight of Kaname easily tearing this student apart before her eyes was horrifying. Wither another slap the cheek bone cracked and the vampire that had not so long ago been burrowing into her throat could not speak, let alone eat.
Zero noticed her pale complexion and announced that he would take her to Chairman Cross. They weren't spared a glance, as they made their way to the main building.
"Zero!" Yoko wheezed. He glared at her and roughly pulled her along the pathway. She collapsed from fatigue. He grumbled and groaned, but eventually gave up on trying to raise her up onto her own feet and lifted her himself.
"What am I going to do with you Yoko? You couldn't even make it one night without being fed on." He muttered softly to himself. She had closed her eyes and quickly fell into a deep slumber.
Zero attempted to wake her, "Yoko you shouldn't sleep yet." Sighing, he took her to the infirmary and laid her to rest.
"What happened?" Yagari queried, whilst looking her over.
"The new leech had some fun." Zero grumbled. Yuki flinched, as the nurses hooked Yoko up to numerous machines.
"She'll be okay, right Zero?" She asked with a small childish voice. She tugged on his jacket and looked up to him with innocent eyes.
"...Yes, Yuki, she'll be fine." He whispered. Yagari left, as the nurses bustled around the three children.
"You drank from her." Kaname stated dully, "What was it like?" he paused for an answer, yet, received none.
The corpse stared up at him from the tiled floor tauntingly. He had taken the young vampire's blood in hopes that he would be able to taste her there, but it was nothing like her scent. It was useless to fight his instincts. The beast in him wanted her.
He closed his eyes and leaned his head against the glass window of his room, "I'm damned if I don't." They reopened, his maroon gaze staring out at the academy where the lights of the infirmary beamed, "I refuse to lose myself over something as silly as a girl."
He did not know how long he would be able to hold back.
"What to do?" He openly asked himself, "Should I restrain myself and lose my sanity... or shall I just take what should be mine in the first place?" The window cracked, as his fists clenched and his brows drew together. He unhappily scowled at the academy, "I made a deal though… Damn." He could still smell her on the vampire. Dried drops of brown speckled the student's once blindingly white jacket.
Kaname sighed, "Time to be rid of you." He told the corpse, moving towards it…
