I am so very sorry for the late update. It's almost three months since the last I update this story, don't I? I got a writer block so I can't write. And I am a little bit busy with my job right now. But anyway, I already finished this chapter. Hope you like it. I will update the next chapter soon. And one more thing, I no longer have a beta so sorry for the bad grammar. And, if you have time to comment about my poor grammar, why don't you be my beta? So, please enjoy the story for now. :)
Chapter 9
All the Night Class students sit in the class quietly. Kaname's order is absolute and they don't want to face Kaname's wrath. Everyone is silent except for one noble vampire, Hanabusa Aidou. He can't keep quiet for long. He still confused about what have happen earlier. He still can't believe it when he saw Mr. Perfect, Zero Kiryuu fall to the ground and coughing blood in front of his blue eyes.
"Hey, tell me Akatsuki, did I dreaming? I am not kick some weird stone when I am on my way to class and fall to the ground and then passed out, right? This is not a dream, right?" ask Aidou for the fifth times already.
Akatsuki Kain feels like he want to roll his eyes in annoyed.
"Yeah, this is the truth and you are not dreaming you idiot," say Kain annoyed with his cousin stupidity. Hanabusa Aidou is a genius and yet an idiot.
Aidou smile widely. "Wow, I can't believe it. Zero Kiryuu, the perfect passed out and coughed blood? It's like a dream. But… I am confused. He is a vampire to say it out loud and the vampire won't get sick easily. But why him? It is because he is a level D?" say Aidou while he rubs his head. Weird. Really, really weird.
"Maybe, I don't know," say Kain not interested. He lean on his chair lazily. He really don't want to know or he will get in trouble.
Suddenly Aidou smile widely. "But… hey, hey, don't you smell his blood earlier? I never smell something like that in my life. His blood smells sweet and delicious. Never once in my life I smell something like that. Even the Cross girl's blood don't smell and taste like that. His blood is something else. Maybe it taste like that because of Kaname-sama's blood or maybe because he is an ex-human," say Aidou again. He still can smell it. Zero's sweet blood.
Kain a little bit stiffened when he hear Aidou talk about Zero's blood. He admit it that Zero's blood smells good and sweet. But to say it out loud, he is not that bold. "Maybe. I never taste any ex-human blood before so I don't know."
"I really want to taste it. His blood," say Aidou suddenly. He will give anything so he can taste that blood on his tongue. He never taste Kaname's blood but he have smell it before when Zero drinks from the pureblood. And the smell is really different from Kaname. When the pureblood's blood smell rich and powerful meanwhile Zero's blood smell sweet, pleasant and there is something else that he doesn't know. There is something weird with Zero's blood.
"What did you say you want to taste, Aidou?" say Kaname suddenly make Aidou's body stiff and shiver in fear. His voice is so cold and death. Without waiting Aidou's answer, Kaname slap Aidou's cheek, hard.
"I… I am so sorry, Kaname-sama." Aidou say in fear. He bow in front of Kaname. He doesn't dare to see Kaname in his eyes.
"Don't ever say that again. I will not forgive anyone who breaks the school regulation. Especially you Aidou. You already drink Yuuki's blood once and are you trying to drink Kiryuu's blood next?" Kaname's voice is so cold. He doesn't know why but he feels so mad when he hear Aidou want to taste Zero's blood. He won't allow it. No one will taste Zero's blood except him. Him? What his privilege to drinks Zero's blood?
"I am sorry, Kaname-sama. It will never happen again," say Aidou slowly. Damn! If he can control his tongue and don't say anything weird when Kaname is around. Why doesn't he sense Kaname's presence before?
"I expect better from you, Aidou. And Kain," Kaname call Kain's name suddenly. He glance at Kain who sit not far from there.
"Yes, Kaname-sama," Kain who is now lying lazily behind the class quickly get up when he hear Kaname call his name.
"I want you to watch your cousin. And make sure he won't do anything stupid again. If you don't, you too will get the same punishment," say Kaname before he walk and take a seat at his usual place beside the window. He look outside. Today, he won't see anyone because Yuuki and Zero won't be there tonight.
Kain just sighed. He glare at his cousin. Why must Aidou always give him a trouble? Ruka smile widely. She hide her chuckled but Aidou can hear her laugh at him. Damn! He doesn't know who he should put the blame this times. The others or himself?
xoxoxoxo
The next day, Zero already regains his consciousness. As usual, the doctor who come to check on him say that he is stressing too much. And he admit it. He is too stress when he think about Kaname and Yuuki and then his new problem, vampire hunter. He feel like he want to run away. Far, far away from here to the place that nobody will know him. He will start his new life there as new Zero Kiryuu.
"You want some soup?" ask Yuuki. She put the bowl on the small table next to Zero's bed.
"I will drink it later," say Zero. He glance at Yuuki who sit next to him in his bed. "You don't go to class today?" ask Zero. It would be awkward if he and Yuuki just sit there in silent.
"No. Dad gives me a break and I really want to take a good care of you, Zero. Have you take your medicine yet?" ask Yuuki. She will make sure that Zero always take his medicine after this. She doesn't want Zero to get sick anymore.
"I already take it. Don't worry. This time I passed out not because I don't take my medicine. You just like to nag. What are you? My mom?" Zero smile a little. He push Yuuki's shoulder gently.
Yuuki just smile a little. "Yeah. I just feel like that I want to be your mom today. So, don't forget to drink your soup and take your medicine, okay. I will take my leave now. Rest," say Yuuki before she go away. Zero just smile a little. Yuuki is so funny. When he saw Yuuki is now gone, the smile quickly disappear from his lips. Stress.
Zero take a long breath. Forget. He just need to forget. He want to forget about everything. He doesn't want to think about anything. Especially about the future. Zero sighed. He close his eyes and about to fall asleep when he hear Yuuki's voice from the door. He glance at Yuuki for a while.
"Zero, I will go out for a while. So please do take care," say Yuuki before she go away. Zero just sighed and close his eyes. This time, he really did fall asleep.
xoxoxoxo
Yuuki walk slowly into the forest. She need to meet with Kaname there. She has something to ask Kaname about Zero's condition. She just afraid if Zero's condition has anything to do with his level right now. Zero is just a level D and an ex-human so he has so many disadvantages. Maybe this is the side effect for Zero as level D? Who knows? So Yuuki want to go and meets Kaname tonight and ask him about Zero's condition. Kaname is a pureblood and he must know something that she doesn't know.
Just a few minutes' walking around the school, she already arrived at the old lab where the Night Class students do their experiments in creating the new blood tablet. She look at the window and she saw Kaname at behind the class. She makes a gesture to signal Kaname that she want to meet him for a while. In private of course.
She doesn't have to wait for long. Just a few minutes later, Kaname already arrived there with a sweet smile on his lips.
"Why did you want to meet me, Yuuki? You have something you want to ask me?" ask Kaname. He already can guess what Yuuki want to ask him.
Yuuki look at Kaname. She sighed a little. She just want to straight to the point. No need to go around the bush. "I want to know the truth about Zero's condition. Did the really sick or what? I don't believe it when the doctor says that it's all because of stress. There must be another reason. It is because of he is just a mere level D and he will fall to level E later?" ask Yuuki. She really want to know the truth. She can't accept it when she feels like everyone just seems like they want to hide something from her.
Kaname sighed. Just like he guess. Yuuki really will ask him this question.
"Yuuki, I believe what the doctor says is true. The vampire can't get sick. Even you know that. I don't really sure it is because he will fall to the next level or else. Why don't you ask him?" say Kaname. He hate it when Yuuki went to meet him just to ask about Zero.
"I can try but he won't answer me. If he really is going to fall, there is anything I can do to help? Can you help him?" ask Yuuki. Zero is like her brother. Of course she want to help Zero. He don't want to lost Zero. When she saw Zero now, it seems like she saw Zero a few years ago.
"Sorry, Yuuki but I really can't help. If he really will fall to level E, there is no other choice other than to kill him," say Kaname quietly but Yuuki still can hear him.
Yuuki look at Kaname with a wide eyes. No! Not that! She won't let anyone kill Zero. Zero is her family and she will protect him. Yuuki shake her head a few times before she run a way. Imposible! She can't accept this. She must find a way to help Zero. Just when she run into the forest, suddenly she feels like someone jump behind her and she lost his consciousness before she can do anything. That dark figure smirked and he takes Yuuki away with him.
Zero just fall asleep when suddenly he hear the window in his room is opened and there is something fall into his room. Chibi who sleep not far from the couch run in shocked when he hear the same noise. He run quickly into the bathroom. Zero just smile a little and he frowned when he look at the window. The wind tonight is not that strong and there's nothing near the window to drop even if the window in his room is opened on its own. Zero's lilac eyes saw something on the floor and he slowly walk toward that thing. He frowned when he saw a paper bound in small stone. Hesitantly, he bend down to pick that paper. Slowly he open the paper and his hand trembled when he read its content.
Zero let the paper fall to the floor. His heart is beating so fast and his mind become blank. Scare. He is so scare. He knows whose handwriting it is. Vampire Hunter's leader. Just like he thought, he's really coming for him and he can't run away this time because they got Yuuki with them this time.
Come and meet us at the old bell tower in town tonight at 11 o'clock. Come alone and don't tell anyone. Don't try to run away if you want your friend, Cross's daughter died or worst, she will replace your honorable place.
~ You Know Who
Zero fall to the floor. What should he do now? Did he should go there? No, no, no! First thing first, he need to make sure that they really got Yuuki. He don't want them lie to him. Quickly Zero run to Yuuki's room and without knocking the door, he slam the door open. Empty. The room in empty. He once again runs to Chairman Cross's study room to find chairman. He need to know where Yuuki is. Without knocked the door, Zero slam the door open and make Cross Kaien who is busy with his work startled.
"What are you doing, Zero? You startled me so badly and you should knock first." Chairman Cross shakes his head but he doesn't chase Zero away. Maybe Zero has something to say to him. "Do you want something from me?" ask Chairman Cross. He put his work away. He just finished his last work for that day.
"Have you seen Yuuki?" ask Zero quickly. He doesn't have time for Cross Kaien drama now.
"No. The last time I saw him was when she is with you. Oh yeah, I almost forgot. I saw her walk outside. Maybe she is going somewhere. Let's just wait for her," say Cross Kaien with a bright smile. "Are you okay now, Zero?" ask Cross Kaien curiously. Zero looks pale. Maybe he is still sick.
"I… I am… fine. I am fine," say Zero slowly. Without another word, he walks away. Damn! What should he do now? They surely got Yuuki now. Zero walk and enter his own room that no longer can be his safest place. Just in few minutes, he need to leave this room. He will go back to hell. Zero's body fall to the ground. There are tears on his face. Damn!
Why? Why must all of this happen to him? Why! Why him? Why must they come and get him now? Why don't they just leave him alone? He just want to live freely like a normal person and this life is really not fair. He's not even allowed to live freely. Zero look at the clock. He just has 2 hours before his life is ended. It's better to die than go back in that hell. But if he doesn't go, then Yuuki will….
