Binding you to me-Chapter5: Why I hate you
Akatsuki caught Zero before he hit the floor. He felt the blood seep out of Zero's wounds, try were closing, but very slowly for a reason he didn't know. He called for Hanabusa to get Takuma and Kaname as he pulled the unconscious ex-hunter up from the floor. They were wondering where he was when they got back, they knew he was hanging back from the group and they didn't think of it and started to wait, the minutes turned to an hour and a half, but then a scent of blood started to appear and grow with the seconds passing then sort of heavy THUMP hit the door and startled several of the vampires who weren't used to the noise. They found out pretty fast and tried to put the pieces together.
"Anyone see where he went?" Akatsuki asked the others, getting shakes of no from them. He walked up from the door, it closed by itself, and he went deeper to the dorm, and placed Zero on one of the chairs, all ignoring the blood as it didn't affect them if it was one of their own. Rima came down from her room and raced over to Zero, she was better at healing then most of the others besides Kaname, who was with Yuuki since they got out of class. Rima's eyes widened slightly and she looked at the others.
"He was attacked by a pure-blood and their power won't let him heal properly, he's in a world of pain" she spoke and continued to work out the poison-like pure-blood power from Zero's body. They waited for the sight of their leader to return with Hanabusa, but didn't hold their breath just yet as Rima called for Takuma for assistance. They all felt their hearts pound at the fact that one of their own, no matter what he was before, was probably tortured on school grounds and they didn't know about it. They just hoped that Zero would be fine afterwards.
Hanabusa ran through the early morning to the Cross house, knowing that Kaname would be there. He wasn't disappointed as he entered and saw Kaname sitting next to Yuuki, who still didn't show any signs of coming out of the coma yet. He waited for Kaname to address him, no matter the situation he would wait as it was part of their society to do so.
"Aido-San what's the matter?" Kaien asked, Hanabusa thought it was good enough.
"The level-D was attacked by a pure-blood and is bleeding. He's not healing fast enough like he should!" he all but screamed out. He wanted to grip his hair in frustration as he knew that he was partial to blame as he was one of the four who was supposed to watch Zero. Kaname stood up and Kaien did as well, they used the shadows, by Kaname's curious nature, and arrived at the Moon dorms rather quickly. Kaname forced the doors open with his powers and saw that the others breathed out in relief when they saw him. Rima and Takuma stepped back to let Kaname and Kaien to see Zero, they got Zero to stop bleeding at least and healed most of the cuts on him, but there were a few broken bones and a whole massive amount of bruises on him. Rima explained what she found from her healing and examination.
"He was bleeding profoundly, a large proportion of his body was covered in cuts, gashes and what looked like stab wounds, he couldn't heal right as whoever the pure-blood was made their power seep into him to make his healing decline to nearly nothing. He has a massive amount of bruising and quiet a few broken bones. Whoever did this went nearly all out to show their hatred to Kiryu(1)" she said while cleaning off the pod that got on her hands. Takuma went next as he somehow had the ability to sense what went on more accurately if was as if done to him.
"I couldn't see who did it, but it was female, she used physical and emotional abuse to harm Kiryu(2). He didn't fight back so I guessing that he either didn't want to or couldn't even if he wanted to" Takuma reported and waited for the others to reply. Their were murmuring all around them and silent gasps from the female vampires in the room. Kaname healed the rest of Zero and let Akatsuki take him to his room and Hanabusa followed him as he was to take care of Zero if he wasn't able to. Kaname turned to Kaien and saw him nod, he turned to the others, they saw anger in his eyes that weren't directed at them, but who ever did it to their coven mate(3). Ruka came in from outside and gave a report that Haruka had left the grounds for the evening and her room had a weird feeling to it.
The Night class got an idea on who it was and how, but they didn't know why they would attack Zero for no apparent reason other than he was a low turned vampire. Kaname dismisses everyone and headed up to his room to go see Zero, Kaien followed as he was being a worried parent on his foster son since now he was hurt. When they entered they saw Hanabusa and Akatsuki come out of Zero's room.
"Aido-San, Kain-San anything else we should know about?" Kaien asked. Akatsuki stepped forward.
"He was gone for a while after class got out, we thought he just wanted to be alone for a bit to get his emotions intact from his first day, but that turned to a slight worry when he didn't come back after a while so we sent Ruka out to go find him. It was a hour and a half later that he sowed up in a mess like he was forced through a grove of thorn bushes" Akatsuki told them, he had his jacket in his arms to get clean since Zero's blood was all over it nearly, if what Kaname saw on the front was indeed Zero's blood. Kaname dismissed the two cousins and both him and Kaien went into Zero's room.
Kaien went to the side of Zero's bed and sat down next to his foster son and ran his hand through his hair. Zero was under the covers fully and only the top half of his head was showing, everything from his lips down were covered. For some reason Kaname felt hostile towards Kaien for running his hand through Zero's hair like he did on Friday night/Saturday morning. He smashed the feeling down as he knew that it was a father, even if he was just a foster guardian, take a concern for his son if he was harmed. Kaien saw the emotion that ran through Kaname's eyes and had a feeling that his son and Kaname were tied together somehow, but wasn't sure how yet. He got up and let Kaname take over as he needed to get back to his house/office to check on Yuuki and see if any students were there for some odd reason.
Kaname waited till he heard Kaien go down the stairs before walking over to where Kaien had sat. He looked at Zero's face and wished that he was there before it happened instead of checking of Yuuki, if he did stay then this wouldn't have happened. His coven mate was injured and tormented for some reason, maybe non at all other than to get at Kaname himself, and it ate at him. He sat down next to Zero and placed at hand on his sleeping face. His face was smooth and soft, as if he was still a human, most vampires that were born to their kind didn't have this, but if turned they kept that feature. Kaname ran his hand up Zero's face to his hair and ran his fingers through it, chuckling softly as Zero turned to his hand in an unconscious action. He smiled and continued to do this before leaving Zero to rest and him to go over a few things.
It was late afternoon when Zero woke again, Kaname had left again for a student counsel meeting, he was still the president no matter his status as a vampire, and Zero was alone. He felt a little stiff, but not in pain like yesterday, he guessed that someone healed him as on Kaien's orders 'cause no one would do it willingly and he'd be damned if Kaname ordered them to do it. He got up and went to take a shower, stumbling as he couldn't get his feet just yet. He stayed in the near scalding shower till he felt everything was numb on him and his body was just one colour, flushed red. He sighed and looked at the bathroom mirror, seeing that his eyes were a little dull then before 'guess Haruka's words really to my' he thought and let out a dry laugh, those words were true and he knew it all to well.
Few minutes later, Zero found himself dry, dressed and ready for class, though all he wanted to do was sleep again. He headed out of his room and through Kaname's to the main corridor again just like yesterday. He heard the voices going hushed and everyone looked at him, man did that make him feel so out of place with the Night class. They went back to talking again, only more hush-hush like then before. Zero stood near the stairs, hiding near the shadows of the stairs and waited for them to go to class. Kaname showed up a little later and they headed out to the school grounds, again Zero stayed in the back.
"He looks defeated, I've never seen him like this Akatsuki" Hanabusa spoke with his cousin. The taller blonde vampire nodded his head and looked back a little to see Zero farther back then yesterday.
"He's retreating in on himself" Akatsuki said lowly, though most of the vampires heard it and they looked back to the silver haired teenage vampire. Kaname felt that Zero's will and determination, the stuff that made Zero, Zero, wasn't there really, almost like he was a hollow form of himself and that made his heart squeeze slightly.
The group made their way through the crowd, without the perfects the were more tempted to come forward to them, though they were still hesitant with Zero in the back, wondering if he would snap at them so they still kept their distance. It was rather funny if you thought about it, them keeping away though wanting to touch something that was dangerous to them. Humans were rather interesting creatures that could be so naive at times to things that would harm them or even kill them.
"Chatty little girls aren't they?" The vampires in the front heard and they looked up to see Haruka walking towards the school building with a small evil smirk on her face. They wondered what it was for when they heard a girl scream at the top of her lungs. They turned and saw a young Day class girl hanging upside down from one of the trees and a dog it seemed was trying to get her. The vampires were getting annoyed with the noise when they saw Zero go over to the girl and dog.
The dog turned and barked at Zero. He saw that it was irritated because of it's foot that it was limping on. He got closer, ignoring the girls cries and leaned down, putting his hand out. The dog barked then went forward and sniffed his hand, it calmed down and licked his hand for acceptance then sat on it's haunches. Zero then went up and got the girl down from the tree, she was shaken mostly, but fine non the less and ran off after thanking Zero. He picked up the dog, since it was small enough to be picked up and walked away from the group to Cross's home to put the dog there so it didn't run around after he left, not noticing that he was being followed by a few of the Night class.
After putting the dog inside his old room and a note on the door, he knew that Kaien was out from the lack of noise, and went on his way, hurrying to class. The two Night students that followed him were glad that he didn't go in farther or he would of saw Yuuki who was still in Kaien's office, Kaien wanted to keep an eye on her while he worked. They also headed back, taking a shorter route to get back before Zero as to not make it suspicious. The bell rang for class to begin and all were in their respective areas, including Zero who made it on time, and Haruka began her lesson.
"Kiryu-San please stay after for a bit I have something from Kaien-San" Haruka said as the bell rang. A few of the Night class students were on edge by her and the ones who were put as Zero's watchers stayed behind to wait for him, though in the shadows. Zero was in a shaken position, fear of yesterday returned. Haruka smiled at this and handed a note to him that said 'You're being followed hunter spawn follow me before the others come in' and she went to a door that Zero didn't notice before that was hidden by a coat rack. She opened it and went in, pulling Zero in as well the silently closed the door. There was a platform then a bunch of stairs that lead downward, Zero was shoved down those stairs and he hit nearly every single one till he hit the bottom where he began coughing to get some air in his lungs. He coughed up blood as well and he felt that some of his ribs were cracked and one was dangerously close to his lung. Haruka laughed as she
appeared out of the shadows.
"Ah that was fun ne?" she asked and pulled Zero up from the floor by his hair like yesterday and began dragging him towards a small area that had a chair and a light. Haruka put Zero in the chair and tied him to it, so he wouldn't move.
"I'm gonna take a crack at your mind and say that you're wondering why I hate you right? Well it's not really you, but really your father as he killed my mate. He killed her in cold blood just because she was a vampire and nothing more. I hate you because you're his blood and I can't go and torture your father since Shizuka got him and your mother. I can't go after your brother, he's Shizuka's pet and so I take my anger out on you. Plus your blood does taint our line, a hunter as the thing he hunts that's rich, it's a tragedy waiting to happen!" she rambled. Zero heard her and said nothing.
"Ah, but I do say this for all our kind when I say that you're better off dead" she finished and went over to a corner that Zero couldn't see into for the light and came back carrying a small Katana. It had symbols on it that Zero couldn't read. She had a sadistic and psychotic smile that freaked him out. A thought ran through his head. 'Women are psycho whores...and for something To-San did I'm going to be killed for...well isn't life a bitch?'
"Nice knowing you Kiryu Zero" she said before she rammed her Katana through Zero's stomach and went upwards to his heart.
