Chapter 7: Secrets...

Naomi pulled her lips from Zero and she opened her blue eyes and looked right into Zero's purple-like ones. For once in her life, she felt loved, she felt wanted. Just looking at Zero and how soft his expression was toward her was enough to tell her that he truely cared for her. The more she stared at him, the faster her eyes filled with tears before burying her face into his chest, crying. Zero seemed to be shocked at the sudden emotion that came over her. From what he knew, she never showed her emotions, let alone crying in front of him. Inside, Naomi was happy, repaired, no longer broken.

"I-I'm sorry Zero..." she said, her voice cracking as she spoke.

Zero held her, not letting her go "Dont be sorry. Theres nothing to be sorry about."

"I'm getting your shirt wet with my tears."

"Its just water." he looked at her "Its not going to hurt anyone."

Slowly, a smile creeped up on Naomi's lips, causing her to look happy. Never has she been kissed with the way she acted around guys. Being in a room with only Zero didnt make things awkward, it brought them together. She watched as Zero grabbed her hand and intertwined her fingers with his. Naomi found it weird that he was so romantic dispite how stubbern he was. Then again, he was able to be calm around her because they understood one-another. Knew how it felt to lose their parents and block all emotions. But, there was a rule about being in love with someone for Legendaries. It was pretty much taboo. Want to know why its taboo? Because it lower's the Hunter's guard around their loved ones and this could cause them to be killed, Even if they are a hunter too.

Remembering this, Naomi lowered her eyes "Zero we cant..."

Zero looked at her with a confused expression on his face "What?"

"We..We cant be together...its Taboo for Legendaries to be in love like this..."

His eyes widen "What do you mean its taboo? This is how the hunters get bigger and bigger"

"I know..but..Legendaries cant because we'd keep our guard down around our lovers..."

Zero seemed shocked by this rule "Who made this rule up?"

"The boss, Zero. No one can change that no matter what."

Naomi felt guilty by this and what cought her attention was Zero cupping her face in his hands, making her look at him. His face was serious and cold. Seeing this, she knew he would do anything to keep both her and himself together.

"We can keep this a secret. We wont tell anyone. Naomi, you understand me more then anyone has. And I understand you."

Naomi shook her head "Zero I-"

"No, Naomi." he cut her off.


Naomi sat in her room, holding the gun in her hand as her expression went blank again and her normal self surfacing. "I vowed to kill every vampire and that what I'll do." she said to herself, getting up from her bed and looking out the window towards the dark sky. Days have gone by fast and so have the nights. As she stood there, the window suddenly broke, glass going into her eyes as a Level-E landed in. Instantly, Naomi used her hearing this time rather then her eyes. She had a fare fight with this Level-E. She didnt give up untill another had came up behind her, instantly biting into her neck.


SHe shot up from bed, drenched in sweat as she looked around her room. Clearly keeping secrets would only give her nightmares "Wow..." her heart raced as she sat there. Deciding she would take a shower, she noticed someone sleeping on the floor next to her bed. From the color of his hair and his uniform, it was Zero. She smiled softly and managed to get over him and leave the room to get a shower.

The shower was nice and warm and she loved it. Her nerves were calmed from the warm water that hit her skin. Instantly, she opened her eyes, looking around the shower, feeling very uncomfortable at the moment. "What the.." she peeked out and seen no one. So she continued her shower before walking out and drying off, getting into clean clothes before going into her room where Zero still was. But he was staring out the window.

"You finished.." he turned to her.

Naomi nodded "Yeah, I had a nightmare.." she walked over

"I woke up cause I heard the shower"

"Oh, sorry I woke you." she hugged him softly.

Zero hugged her back and kissed her head softly "Naomi.."

Naomi studied him "Yeah?"

"..Nothing, nevermind."

Naomi felt as if he was hiding something..maybe his love for her..it was late at night and it was a beautiful night. Plus, everyone was sleeping. Maybe they could...No! She wasnt going to do that but to find out if its what he wanted, she would undo a few buttons on his shirt, and thats what she did.

"N-Naomi..."

A blush covered her face "Did you...want me?"

Zero looked off "But not now..."

"Alright." she said, going to her bed and changing her sheets from soaked to dry since her sweat had ruined them for the night. Suddenly, something made her uncomfortable again and she wondered what was going on.
