Chapter 4 – The Messiah of Silence leaves Cross Academy

So yeah I finally managed to edit this chapter once again. This time I actually watched the last episode of the anime and actually paid attention to what they were saying so the majority of the dialogue from when they are talking on the rooftop is canon but I'm going to fully diverge from the story when she leaves the academy. Also the Kingdom Hearts mentions are going to come into play in another story that I'm writing that will be up soon. Also according to most pictures

Disclaimer: I have never owned Sailor Moon, Vampire Knight, Kingdom Hearts, Pandora Hearts and Percy Jackson and the Olympians and never will

Yuki stood on the roof overlooking the academy staring as the sun slowly began its daily trek across the sky. The academy had not come out of the battle unscathed, not so far from where she stood she saw that the entrance gate to the academy had been destroyed in the chaos and she could still see swirling lingering bits of dust, the remains of vampires drifting over the grounds. She was thankful that the night class hadn't suffered any casualties and the day class had been protected in the hall. Although most of them would now have to be subjected to memory wipes to protect the night class. The steel kiss of her Artemis Rod against the outside of her thigh penetrated her thoughts and she desperately tried to ignore the dried crusty flakes of blood that still covered her hands. She tried to calm down, adrenaline still pumping through her veins even though the battle was all over, her uncle the bogeyman that had stalked her for so long was finally gone.

Now that the battle was over however her she could not stop thinking of what occurred whilst in the vile clutches of her deranged uncle. Her attempts to escape had been futile at the time with the rest of the night class that had been charged with protecting her paralysed by the very presence of the insane pureblood vampire. A part of her was angry with herself at having been forced to scream for help, a veritable damsel in distress. Yet what happened in response to her cries kept on replaying in her head over and over. It was Zero who had come to her aid again, just like he always did when she was human. Even though she had turned out to be just another ravenous beast with an insatiable thirst for blood he still kept his promise that he would do anything to keep her safe even if it killed him to do so. And in return for his help she did the same which led to the sticky coating of blood mingling with the coating of sweat that covered her pale palms.

She let out another sigh as she realised that she would have to acknowledge the presence of the silver haired young man next to her sooner or later.

"So bright" she murmured softly.

"Yes it was bright. I used to watch you from up here' he said his gaze never leaving the sorry state of the remains of the school before them.

"I'd watch you as you watched Kaname Kuran." he continued slowly turning his face towards her "Whether you were with him or anybody else you always had a smile on your face. Even when I did something that was unforgiveable. I was perfectly willing to sacrifice my whole life for you. That's what I was prepared to do. To give up everything…".

Sighing once more he asked.

"So you're going to leave now aren't you".

Her warm wine coloured eyes stubbornly averted his gaze as she admitted it.

"Yes I am".

But not for the reasons you think she implored silently. I have to leave, I can't stay here anymore Zero. This monster that you think I've become is only a fraction of the vile demon that I truly am even without the thirst for blood.

"I thought so" he said still watching her face carefully as struggled to mask her emotions.

Breaking the silence once more she said "You once asked me to kill you if you become a vampire remember?"

"I do"

"But what if I become a vampire?" she questioned softly.

"Well I'm still not sure if I believe you really are a vampire" he admitted looking up at the sky once more "there's no proof."

At this she swiftly turned to face him eyes wide with disbelief.

"But Zero come on that's just…" she cried.

He turned towards her once more and with a few strides he reached out and pulled her close to him in desperate embrace.

"Alright, if you really are a vampire Yuki then drink my blood. If you truly are a vampire that I should hate then go on" he challenged her breathing in the familiar scent of the sweet strawberry and vanilla shampoo that she always wore stubbornly choosing to disregard the slight sickly metallic scent of blood that adorned her just like all vampires.

"Zero" the short brunette vampire trailed off as she realised that this was the only way that she would be able to

"I am so sorry Zero" she whispered softly before she plunged her pointed fangs into his neck closing her eyes in sorrow as felt him tense as she began to drink the crimson liquid.

'I can taste Zero. It's like what he once said'.

'Your blood had that taste'

'I understand now. Zero's feelings are flowing into me' silent tears began to flow down her cheeks as she was bombarded with so many images and feelings, oh god the strong feelings that he had tried so long to keep hidden from her. She stubbornly continued to drink knowing that this was for the best. Zero needed to accept that she was no longer the innocent naïve girl that he had always protected. Once she had her fill she quickly retracted her fangs from his neck, ignoring the thin trail of blood that ran down her chin as she sadly smiled at him and took a few steps back to give him space.

"You're, right…. You are a vampire" he said brokenly the image of the familiar warm smile that she directed at him distorted by the blood red eyes of a monster staring at him.

Yuki continued to stare at her best friend with regretful eyes and before she could chicken out she forced herself one step at a time quickly strode over to him. Before he even realised what she was doing she took hold of the front of his shirt and pulled him down as she went on tip toe and closing her eyes she kissed him softly. It wasn't the most romantic kiss; it was one of desperation and the silent admission of untold secrets. His lips were dry, chapped and the kiss itself was rough and it hurt but the pain itself made it all the more real. Before she could stop herself she winced as she bit down on her own lip with her sharp fangs and opened her mouth once more allowing the taste of her tainted blood to flow into his mouth pouring all of her feelings and emotions towards him into this final kiss. She let out a small moan at the sensation of him sucking at her bottom lip drinking the crimson liquid before just as quickly as the kiss started it stopped once more and she forced herself to once more step away from him her head dropping to the ground as she averted his gaze again. As he began to speak once more she gazed into his lavender eyes with sorrow.

"This means we can no longer live in the same world. But someday in the future" he paused "I will come after you to kill you."

At his promise of their next meeting Yuki smiled. It was bitter thing, jagged and wrong that would never have belonged on the face of the innocent human Yuki. Her smile is a scar left behind by the wounds of the memories of her past.

"I'll be waiting Zero... but know this. You… you once told me that you would try to stay alive so that you could rid the world of the monstrosity is all vampire kind. So I promise you this Zero, I will keep on fighting Zero so that you can stay alive" she vowed "because…. Because when I was human I was your entire world and even though I didn't always show it you will always be an integral part of mine…. I am so sorry."

With that the silent spell that seemed to have been cast over them was broken and with one more sorrowful glance she silently left. As the sound of her soft footsteps slowly faded the reality of what just happened came crashing down upon both of them and almost in sync they absent-mindedly touched their still slightly swollen lips.

"Zero…"

"Yuki"

"…I will keep running so that you will live…"

"…I will free you of your bloodstained existence…"

A couple of hours later….

Kaname had tried to get her to leave the academy as soon as possible. Now that she had awoken they needed to find a new safe place for her to hide. Luckily she was able to convince him that the events of the night had drained her and she needed one more day of rest before they departed. Quietly with the help of a couple of simple spells she shrunk what remained of her belongings and placed them into her subspace pocket. Silent as a mouse, she found it surprisingly easy to slip past the figures of Aido and Kain standing bodyguard outside her room as a shadow. Reaching the familiar rooftop once more she sighed in contentment. It had felt so stifling in her room and the fresh air calmed her down as well as the healing light of the serene full moon hanging in the sky washing over her.

Biting her lip again, a bad habit from her past life she remembered the duty that she had neglected for so long. Time passed differently in different galaxies and planets however she still had some time before the rise of Crystal Tokyo. Her neck began to hurt as she gazed up at the night sky bedecked with millions of twinkling lights Each star in the dazzling night sky was another planet, another world to explore, to learn about, and to create new memories and as another one blinked out of existence so quickly it seemed like it was never there in the first place it became apparent that with every passing day more and more worlds were falling to the darkness. She needed to fulfil her duties as a planetary guardian, something that she couldn't do cooped up in another underground mansion like a good little girl.

She herself did not have a keyblade but it was well known that her silence glaive worked just as well a weapon against the heartless and nobodies however her duties as a planetary princess and guardian to Princess Serenity came first and thus tried to not interfere in any of the previous keyblade wars. That did not mean however she could not help and guide some of the keyblade wielders at times. As the crown princess of Saturnia she was the eldest child. A younger brother and two younger twin sisters from what she could barely remember of them. Thinking back to her last memories of her younger siblings she closed her eyes in sorrow. Perhaps it was better that she hasn't found them….

As she ran her left hand run through her hair she released the glamour hiding the changed colours of her hair and eyes watching as the colour faded from a rich chocolate brown to a dark purple. Hotaru knew it was time to return home to her sisters-in-arms. With a single finger she caressed her newly acquired sharp fangs gently, a reminder of what she has become. The purple haired girl hoped that Ami would be able to create more blood tablets to help combat this demonic thirst. Although Kaname had warned her that as a pureblood the tablets would not be as effective on her she still managed to secretly acquire a small container just in case. She needed to leave now before Kaname and his followers caught wind of her actions. If she stayed she would never be able to leave, under guard 24/7 and thought of further participating in anymore incestual acts made her nauseous.

'I'm so sorry'

'I'm a monster aren't I'

'It wasn't meant to happen this way. I didn't mean to do it'

'It was my fault isn't it'

She shook her head refusing to drown herself in memories knowing that now was not the time. Later on she could properly sort through three lifetimes worth of accumulated memories. Reaching into her subspace pocket once more she summoned her transformation wand to her hand once more, looking down at the small stick in her hand it looked like a toy. Tracing the familiar insignia of her guardian planet with her thumb she gazed at it, Saturn, the planet of silence and rebirth. For a brief moment she hesitated, the small part of her that wanted to stay with those that she had grown to love in this academy full of secrets. Did she really wish to return to those that dubbed her the Messiah of Silence and Angel of Death?

Gripping her transformation wand in her fist tightly she began to repeat an old mantra that Mars had taught her keep hold of who she really was when she felt like she was drowning in the memories of her many different lives.

I am Princess Hotaru Persephone Saturnia, the crown Princess of the planet of rebirth Saturn and sworn guardian to Princess Serenity Lunaria.

Softly she whispered the familiar transformation.

"Saturn Eternal Power Make-up "

Immediately a soft violet power surrounded her and her cross academy uniform disappeared to be replaced with her fuku when the light dimmed slightly. The dark shadows formed her dark coloured sailor collar and skirt. Her knee high boots laced themselves up on her feet and as she held out her gloved hand firmly gripping the silence glaive as it appeared and the symbol of the planet Saturn appeared glowing brightly on her brow instead of her old tiara. On her back were large feathered black angelic wings. She knew that it was time to leave and began to beat her strong feathered wings and began to rise unsteadily into the air, gradually her movements became more confident as became more used to peculiar feeling of flight. A split second of hesitation allowed her to lament the fact that she didn't leave a note as she hung in mid-air staring at the remnants of her home for so many years.

"Goodbye" she whispered a few tears falling from her dark eyes but she chose to ignore them.

Once more staring up at the full moon she never saw the quickly growing smaller figures of those that she was leaving behind running across the ground in search of her as gathering her powers she disappeared in a soft lavender light leaving behind no trace that she was ever there.
