Sorry for the late update I'm on midwinter brake. Well same as always I do not own any part of Vampire Knight.
I shoot bolt up right. Scanning the paper again I still get nothing. There is no fucking way this is happening! This woman is dead and so is Ichiru! I begin pacing the room. If this is some kind of sick joke than who took Yuki. I abruptly stop and slam my fist into the wall. I will kill who ever sent this note. I punch again, my fist going threw the thin wall easily. "Zero are you alright?," someone calls from the hall. I spin around trying to hide the letter. Forgetting my hand was in the wall I pull out more dry wall swing my hand to my side. I come full circle to face Cross who had a key to my room. I let out a sigh of relief then let my hand with the note fall to my side. "Jumpy much zero?," he raises an eyebrow with the statement. I scowl, "Thought you were Kuran." His eyebrow goes down. His gaze travels to the whole in the wall then to my hand and note. "What ever that is must have made you very angry," he says gesturing to the paper. I hold it out to him and he hesitantly takes it. I don't normally share things. He sites on my bed and begins to read. I look at him for a second the move to close my bedroom door. I click the lock then turn to Cross. He was shaking his head, "Nonononononononono. This cant be." I sit next to him. I feel like a zombie as I stare straight ahead. I tune out his ramblings and fall into my own world. If this is really happening? will I go? Would Cross even take me? I will make him. Once they have me will I be able to get away? What will happen to me if I cant? I must go there is no other way.
"I'm going to do what it says." I look at Cross who must have been in mid sentence. "What?," he looks at me in disbelief. "I will do as the note says," I repeat calmly. "Zero…" I stand cutting him off. I grab a bag from my closet and throw it on the bed. "I am going and you are taking me end of story." I start packing some clothes. I leave the uniforms. If they do get me I don't want to be unprepared. Next I pack my tooth brush and comb. As I'm grabbing them I look in the mirror. This may be the last time I come here. I put them in the bag then zip it shut. I look at cross and he smiles weakly. He stands and pulls me into a hug. I don't move this could be the last time I see this old man. He puts me at arms length and glances me over, "You have to promise me you will come back." His worry penetrated my defenses. "I will. Believe it or not this is my home and I think its better than where I will end up." He smiles. I do to. It feels weird having a smile on my face but it brings light to Crosses eyes, "Well I must make the preparations. Come to my office at 11or when you're ready." He hugs me again and then walks out. As the door clicks shut I sit on my bed. My head falls into my hands. I let it set there before standing up and reopening my bag. I grab the small box with blood tablets and toss them in there even though they don't agree with me they might help if I'm on the run. I open the bedside drawer and grab out a note book and a pen. I tear out a page and replace the note book. As its going into the drawer I notice a photo. I pull it out and gaze longingly at the image. It is a photo of us at the beach. I hade been snoozing with my sunglass on when Cross and Yuki decided to cover me in sand. I open the other drawer and slide the bloody rose from my pocket. I don't linger with it and I put it in the empty drawer, if they do catch me I don't want them getting their hands on it. I stand and close the drawers. I zip my bag closed and sling it on my back. I walk slowly to Yukis' room. Kaname is gone and everything is a bigger mess than before. The snow must have been melted. As I push on one of the mattresses it confirms my thoughts by leaking. I right the room then check the window. I lock it the turn around. I step to the desk and put down the paper and pen. I sit and begin to write.
Yuki
If I don't come back, I love you. I couldn't have had a better sister and I would like to thank you. Don't ever trust Kuran. Tell your new boy friend that if he hurts you I will haunt him. Also if I am not back after year take my bloody rose. Its in my room, bottom drawer of the night stand. Keep safe and never forget who you are.
Zero
I stare at the small note a moment. I stand and push in the chair. I place the note in the middle of the desk then I place the Artamas rod on top. I glance once more around the room before stepping into the hall. I shut the door and head outside. Cold air fills my lungs. Oddly I feel lighter than air as I walk. I wander into the woods and soon find myself on the bank of a pond. The sun is low and elegantly reflected in the water. I stare, ensnared in its beauty. Running foot steps brakes my trance and I turn around. Kaname bursts from the trees at a full gallop. He barely stops in time or he just wanted to stop two inches from my face. I try to step back but he grabs my solders and slams his lips in to mine. I push at his chest causing me to fall backward. I thud hard on the ground and he lands on top of me. I try to stand but all I mange is getting him to stop kissing me. "What the hell are you doing!," I try shoving him again but he smiles. "I just had to say I love you before you go," he roles of and sites on the ground. I site up and realize that all the snow under us is gone. I cross my legs and stare at Kaname, "Cross just told me and I couldn't let you leave without telling you how I feel." Cross I am going to kill you. You went supposed to tell anyone let alone this bastered. "Well this is just something I have to do," I say blankly trying to avoid his awkward confession. "Really you sure you can just turn down this one mission," he says pleadingly. "What are you talking about?." He frowns confused, "The year long mission your going on." Good job cross but does he think something's up now I said something. "No. I can't. Well I better be going then." I stand and look at the horizon almost dark I need to go! Like now! I start to walk as but Kaname catches my arm, "I'll be waiting when you get back but take this," he shoves something into my hand but before I can see it my cell goes of. I run from his grip towards Crosses office.
My phone stops ringing some time along the way but it doesn't matter it was most likely Cross. I run into his office and glance at the clock. 11:30. "There you are!," Cross stands quickly and hands me a small first aid box before rushing me out the door. We climb in the car and I slide the box into my bag. He speeds down the street. I can't think of a thing to say so its just awkward silence the whole way there. We park in the ally facing the wall and I glance at the clock. 11:57. I look at Cross one last time, then step out of the car. I shut the door and walk to the green door. Cross roles his window down, "You have one year zero. Please come home." I nod and I hear the window roll up. I look around and find the red door. I point to it then wait for Cross to be beside it. He sits and waits. I turn back to my door. I knock three times. The red door fly's open and Yuki stumbles out. Before I can run the green door opens and strong arms pull me in. The door shuts and I'm plunged into darkness. The arms release me and I stumble to the ground. Then gentler arms help me up and drag me across the room. I try fighting but someone punches me in the gut knocking the wind out of me. A car door opens and I am pushed in. I look around the vehicle for an escape but find none. There was enough room in the back but I was quickly wedged between two vampires to prevent any escape. The car starts up and a fourth vampire gets into the passenger side. He looks back at me then motions for my back pack. I hand it over reluctantly and he turns around. "Lets go home." The car roars to life and darts forward. I wonder if they were speeding just to attract the cops but I don't say anything. They all leave me be so all I can do is sit and wonder where "home" is.
