(Here is chapter 7 enjoy! P.s. I don't own any rights to VK I just love writing about them!PLEASE REVIEW if you want to !)

When I woke up I was alone. Ayame must have left some time ago her scent was fading from my room. I went to the window and opened the curtains expecting to find the hot sunshine in my face only to find it pitch black out.

"I slept through the whole day?" I thought to myself

After I showered and got dressed I noticed that the whole school was empty of students. I went to the chairman's office to ask why. But before I got there I seen a poster on the wall that stated it was winter break. "That explains it!" I thought as I turned and walked back towards the front gate.

I walked around the school for hours before finding Ayame and a few of the night class students hanging out in the courtyard. They were watching Ayame training with another hunter named Jake. She looked truly beautiful in her tight short jean shorts and a gothic tank top. I noticed how much faster and stronger she had become since I first met her. She had dodged all of Jake's attacks and before long Jake had to give up from exhaustion; he asked if any of the night class wanted to participate which made me a little nervous, I didn't want to see Ayame get hurt.

"Um, thanks for putting the offer out Jake; but I think I'm done for the evening." Ayame said before she walked up beside me and gave me a peck on the cheek.

"What a shame." came a voice from behind Ayame "I was hoping to play."

We all turned to see a tall man who seemed to be about Kaname's height with long black hair and deep blue eyes. Ayame pulled her gun out and said "Vampires are restricted from this area unless they have permission to be here."

"Permission? I don't need permission to go anywhere, I'm a pureblood." said the man

"I don't care who or what you are! I won't allow you to harm any students at my school!" said Yuki from behind me, with Artemis fully extended.

"Ah the Kuran princess! It's a pleasure to meet you, my name is Hiko Kurayami." said the man bowing towards Yuki.

"Please; don't cause trouble here, this is a peaceful school coexisting with humans and we want to keep it that way." Yuki said to the vampire.

The pureblood disappeared only to reappear behind Ayame he wrapped one arm around her waist and the other he placed under her chin; he pulled her head back slightly and said "The only humans I sense here are this lovely girl and the other hunter over there."

He licked Ayame's neck before saying "My, your blood smells so delicious."

I pulled my gun from my jacket and pointed it at the vampires head and said "Let her go before I turn you into a thousand tiny pieces."

He let go of Ayame and backed away. I grabbed her and pulled her behind me before shouting "Touch her again and I won't hesitate in pulling the trigger vampire!

"How disrespectful of you Level D!" said Hiko; his eyes turned to red and before I knew what was happening I was flying through the air; blood flew from my mouth as I hit a tree hard and fell to the ground.

"Zero!" I heard Ayame and Yuki yell at the same time.

"How dare you touch him!" screamed Ayame as she pulled her daggers out of her pockets and threw them at the pureblood, while running towards me.

He jumped out of the way and laughed "Now this is more like it!" he screamed as he conjured up his own weapons. Luckily he missed Ayame every time he threw a crystal like dagger at her. Yuki attacked but missed the pureblood and he knocked her to the ground. The rest of the night class came to her rescue but were all beaten by the pureblood. He was about to hurt Yuki but Ayame and the other hunter blocked him. His eyes grew to a deep crimson as he threw the pair of hunters into a tree. He then picked Ayame off of the ground and began choking her. I managed to pull my gun up from the ground a pull the trigger; shooting the pureblood in the shoulder. He dropped Ayame and screamed out in pain.

"You'll pay for that Vampire hunter!" he screamed before disappearing into thin air.

I smirked and dropped my gun unable to hold it any longer. Ayame ran to help me up but I swatted her hand away and said "I don't need your help." "Why did I just do that?" I thought to myself as I looked at her. I could see that her emotions went from shocked to hurt as she turned away from me and walked towards the gun range.

I slowly picked myself up from the ground and made my way back to my room; once there I went to my sink and stuck my head under the tap before downing a few blood tablets. When I looked up at the mirror a few seconds later my reflection moved on its own. It smiled at me and said "Ready for your punishment vampire hunter?"

I recognized the voice right away and stared at the mirror in shock as the back ground behind him changed into the outside of the gun range. He opened the door to the room and standing inside was Ayame. She had just finished off a clip and was reloading another one. She turned and said "Oh hey Zero." The monster taking on my form smiled at her before stepping closer. I gripped the edge of my sink and yelled "Stay away from her Hiko!"

He smiled and stepped even closer to her taking the gun out of her hand and placing it on the table before hugging her. Then before she had time to react he pinned her against the wall and held both of her hands above her head with one of his hands. She squirmed to get free and shouted "Zero! What are you doing? Stop you're hurting me!"

He began running his hand up her shirt which then caused her to kick him across the room and shout "Seriously Zero what has gotten into you!"

Hiko glared at her his eyes becoming crimson again as he lunged at her knocking her to the floor he pinned her down again only this time he used his legs to pin hers down. She screamed at him several time to get off her; but he just wasn't listening. I had to stand there unable to stop him from savagely beating and raping my love; I had to stand there and listen to her screaming for him to stop. When he was done he stood up with a smirk on his face and said to me "Now you've received your punishment hunter."

Ayame looked up at him and said "Who are you?"

He smiled before saying "Your worst nightmare." he then changed back into his normal appearance, knelt down beside Ayame and said "I think I'll punish your boyfriend a little more." he then grabbed her and pulled her on to his lap, she struggled to get away from him but he was stronger. He then sunk his fangs deep into her neck and drank from her until she stopped moving and her arms fell to his sides. I screamed out in anger and smashed the mirror with both my hands several times, before sliding down to the floor and crying.

It was only the third time in my life that I cried. The first was when my parents were killed and the second was when my brother died in my arms and now I was crying for the love of my life that was probably dead by now I closed my eyes and let the tears fall down my cheeks.

When I opened my eyes it was pitch black in the room and I was lying down on a soft bed. "How did I get here?" I wondered as I pulled the sheets off of me and felt the pain coming from my back. I reached over and flicked on a lamp only to find that I was in the infirmary. Curled up in the chair next to my bed was Ayame. She looked unharmed; I jumped to my feet and ran to her being cautious not to wake her. "It was a Dream! It was just a dream!" I told myself as I realized she was fine. "Just a dream!" I repeated over and over again before sliding down to the floor in front of her and laying my head on her leg. She looked down at me and said "Zero you're finally awake." before wrapping her arms around my neck and kissing the top of my head.

I pulled her down on to my lap and hugged her as tight as I could. I was shaking like crazy and tears began to fall from my eyes but I didn't care. I only care that Ayame was safe and that everything that happened was a dream; a horrible; horrible dream.

"Zero, what's wrong?" she asked as I buried my face in her long dark hair.

"It was all a dream." I whispered

We stayed that way until my thirst got the better of me and I bit into Ayame's neck. She didn't seem to mind; in fact I thought I heard her moan, as she tangled her fingers through my hair and pulled me closer to her. All I could feel was the warmth and love coming from her as her warm loving blood slid down the inside of my throat. I pushed her away after a few minutes and laid my head in her lap. She stared down at me with love in her eyes as she brushed her fingers through my hair.

It reminded me of the way Shizuka brushed my hair as I laid in her lap, after she had attacked my family; so I stood up and got a bandage from the supply closet and placed it on the bite wound on Ayame's neck.

"I'm going to go change my clothes." she said while getting up "You should get some more rest."

She kissed me on the forehead before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. I laid back down on the bed and I was just about to fall asleep when out of nowhere a voice said "She's quite the beauty isn't she?"

"Shut up Hiko." I replied

"It's a shame really." he said

"What is?" I asked looking around the room.

"That she won't be herself much longer." he replied while laughing

After he said that last sentence I heard a loud crash coming from the hallway. I jumped to my feet and ran out of the room with the horrible pureblood still laughing behind me. About half way down the hallway I found Ayame laying on the floor; her face was as white as snow and she was in a great deal of pain, she was gasping for air and tears were running down her face. I picked her up in my arms bride style and ran to her room.

Once there I laid her down in her bed before going to her sink and getting her pills. I handed her a few pills and a few minutes after she took them the color came back to her face and her breathing went back to normal. She hugged me until she fell asleep in my arms.

"What's wrong with her?" I wondered "Why is she going through this? What's happening to her? What can I do to help her?"
