A/N: Thank you everyone for reviewing! I'm going to estimate that by the next chapter the story is going to be finally on the right track. Which is good.
Chapter 5
Ichiru's eyes widened at what Ivory just told him. 'She can't be serious...'
"Ivory..."
"What?"
"Don't joke around like that."
"I'm not! Someone named Toga Yagari is coming here to meet you. Do you know him or something?" Ichiru sighed, closing his eyes at the same time.
"Yes." Ivory narrowed her eyes and turned her head to the side.
"How?"
"He trained me to be a vampire hunter...me and my twin brother Zero."
"You have a twin? You see! This is what I was talking about yesterday! I would never have known you had a twin unless you told me."
"Ivory, its not that simple."
"How is it not simple?"
"You know how four years ago was when I was made a vampire?"
"Yes. What about it?" Ichiru sighed again.
"There's more behind it. My family is actually among one of the best of the vampire hunters in all of Japan, and on that night a pureblood named Shizuka Hio was going to attack us. I still remember it clearly. I had glanced out the window in Zero's room and I saw the vampire approaching. So I went running to go find our parents, but by the time I had gotten outside, the vampire had Zero in her arms and was biting him."
~Flashback~
Picking up a stick, Ichiru went running towards the vampire.
"Akahanna, come get Zero! Ichiru? What're you doing? Get away from her!" Ignoring his father, Ichiru charged at the vampire and threw the stick at her.
"That's for Zero!" Shizuka looked down at Ichiru and smirked, tears still going down her cheeks.
"Both the Kiryuu twins..." Moving faster than Ichiru could follow, Shizuka grabbed him. Yuudai looked up and paled visibly.
"No!" Ichiru was about to move when he felt the vampire's fangs pierce his neck, but he couldn't make any sounds. It was like being trapped in some sort of dimension that he could never describe.
~End Flashback~
"You tried to attack a pureblood with a stick?" Ichiru made a funny face.
"I was young and foolish then. All I had seen was the vampire biting my twin brother, who had gone unconsious." Ivory groaned and put her hands on the table.
"Back to the matter at hand, what is going to happen when your old master comes?" Ichiru sighed and pulled her into a hug.
"I do not know Ivory. I don't even know how he found me."
"What?" She pulled out from his grasp and looked at him. "What do you mean?"
"I mean that for these past four years, my parents had no idea that I was still alive. All they saw was that Shizuka, after biting me, took me with her. They still had Zero though." Ivory raised her hand and caressed his cheek.
"Oh Ichiru..." Someone knocked on the door and Ivory moved away from Ichiru, who cleared his throat.
"Who is it?" The door opened and Ichiru's eyes widened.
"So you really were here Ichiru." Yagari looked at Ichiru with raised eyebrows, and Ichiru narrowed his eyes.
"What are you doing here master?"
"Your mother and father would love for you to come back."
"Why? They still have Zero if I remember correctly. I'm perfectly fine here."
"Ichiru, Zero ran off." Ichiru paled, even though he normally is pale.
"What?"
"Yes. A few nights ago, we think him and his partner got into a big disagreement, and Zero was angered, so he left. We haven't found him yet."
"And I am needed because...?"
"We believe since you are his twin, you'll be able to find him." Ichiru groaned and turned away from Yagari. Ivory wrung her hands together nervously, before waving.
"Hi! I'm Ivory Evergreen, Ichiru's partner and girlfriend." Yagari nodded to her.
"Toga Yagari, Ichiru's old mentor." Ivory smiled and walked over to Yagari.
"So, since Ichiru won't tell me, can you tell me anything about him?" Yagari chuckled.
"That is Ichiru's job, not mine." Ivory snorted and walked over to Ichiru again, who was glaring at her.
"I told you I will tell you eventually."
"Well, if we're going to Japan, I would love to know your background history first."
"Who said we were going to Japan?" Yagari narrowed his eyes.
"Your father would love it if you came back so your mother is no longer hysterical." Ivory nodded, agreeing with Yagari.
"You see? You're parents are going insane because you aren't there! And since I heard that your twin has disappeared, they really need you right now." Ichiru rolled his eyes and crossed his arms.
"Yeah, and when I get there, they won't let me out of their sight for the rest of my life. They probably don't even know that I'm a vampire!" Yagari sighed.
"No, none of us did. To tell the truth, when you didn't show back up after Shizuka took you with her, we thought you died of bloodloss." Ichiru closed his eyes.
"Then how did you find me here?"
"I don't know how your father found you. Maybe he had Kaien find you." Ivory put her hands on Ichiru's shoulders and rubbed her hands over his shoulders soothingly.
"Ichiru...if you do go, I'll come with you." Sighing again, Ichiru stood up and looked at Yagari.
"Fine. I'll go back with you, but only until you find Zero. Then I'm coming straight back here, got it?" Yagari nodded as Ichiru and Ivory left to go pack.
~With Zero~
He had known Yuuki now for at least two weeks, and he could tell he was falling in love with her. Right now he was watching her chase butterflies. 'This is wrong...I'm a vampire hunter and she's a pureblood.' Right when he was getting up, Zero felt the familiar twinge that he got whenever a vampire was near. But this one he could tell was a pureblood.
"Yuuki, someone is coming." Leaving the butterflies alone, Yuuki came over by him and waited until the vampire appeared. When he appeared he had shoulder length dark brown hair, and burgandy eyes. Not to mention he looked like he was related to Yuuki.
"Kaname!" Running forward, Yuuki hugged Kaname and smiled at Zero. "Takei this is my older brother, Kaname." Kaname looked at 'Takei' and his eyes widened.
"Yuuki obviously this 'Takei' has been lying to you."
"What?" Zero lowered his gaze and thought, 'He must have seen my picture...'
"This is Zero Kiryuu, one of the vampire hunters." Yuuki's eyes widened. She had not told Takei, who know she knew was actually Zero, that he father had told her that they had found out who the vampire spy was for the Hunters: Zero Kiryuu.
"Takei...is that true?" Zero noticed that she looked completely broken now.
"Yes." Approaching him, Yuuki slapped him across the cheek, tears flowing down her own.
"How could you? How could you lie to me all this time since I met you? I can't believe I actually fell for it. I'm such a fool." Turning away from him, Yuuki looked at her brother. "Let's go home Kaname." Without looking to see if he was following, Yuuki walked off. Turning to Zero, Kaname sighed.
"You really should not have lied to her. Now she's going to hate you." Glaring, Zero made a motion to grab the Bloody Rose.
"I was going to tell her eventually."
"Oh? Let me guess, once you had her completely at your mercy that she would be just be bowing at your feet!" Yelling in anger, Zero pulled the Bloody Rose out and fired at Kaname, but at the same moment Kaname appeared in front of him and lashed out with his hand. Before he had pulled the trigger back, he heard someone scream.
"ZERO!"
All right review! Yes now I bring in the hatred between Zero and Kaname. Also don't even ask who is screaming Zero's name at the end (yes I actually know this time lol), but I'll say it isn't two people: Yuuki OR Ichiru. It is not one of them. But who gets injured? Zero or Kaname? You'll only find out...ONCE YOU REVIEW! And only when you review...or else you'll never know!
