Vampire Knight: Bite My Heart
It's no lie that I don't own Vampire Knight. Yes. Matsuri Hino is the only one worthy owner!!
Chapter Nine
Revealed! The Kiriyuu Twins' Past!
"You are to only understand life through pain and cruelty."
Is that true?
"You and your brother are bounded to this place. Even if you were ever to escape...you are not allowed happiness."
Yes...suffering...pain...loss.
"Anyone who you go near will suffer."
Yuuki appeared suddenly...tears in her eyes. Zero tried to reach out to her...the minute he touched her...she faded away.
Zero's eyes snapped open and he shot up from his bed.
"Yuuki!"
Sweat trickled down his forehead...he was panting harshly. Clutching his head tightly, Zero growled frustratingly. "Dammit...the dreams are coming back." He laughed bitterly. "I guess, I really can't escape. Especially if they can catch me even when I'm asleep."
Throwing back the thin, white covers, Zero swung his legs over the bed and looked around at his room. It was dark and somewhat small. Those things didn't bother him. Never did. He walked over to his dresser and, beneath all the folded clothing, Zero pulled out a rectangular box. There was a silver keyhole located in the middle side. Yes...the thing he locked away. Zero locked away his feelings...his desires...and his past.
"Anyone who you go near will suffer."
The image of Yuuki flashed in his mind sharply.
"Dammit," he growled, clutching the box tightly. "Dammit it all."
A hand waved in her face, the image not really registering in her mind.
Her midnight blue eyes remained blank as she stared into nothing.
"Hey...Rima...Rima...Rima!" came Ruka's voice.
Rima glanced up sharply and realized that she was in Ruka's cabin. How...did she get here again?
"If you're wondering how you ended up here," said Ruka sardonically. "I'll remind you that I found you crouching in a dazed stupor outside the main lounge. I made you come here...but it seems the dazed stupor had followed as well." The last part was said pointedly.
Rima murmured distractedly, "Ah...gomen."
"Tch, nevermind that," said Ruka, handing Rima a cup of mint tea. "Drink it. You obviously need to calm down. You're tensed all over."
It took a moment for Rima to realize that she was indeed tense. Her shoulders were hunched and her arms and legs wouldn't move. She quickly drank the hot tea and was grateful for the instant effect of loosen muscles.
"Now," said Ruka, looking at Rima expectantly.
'Oh, no...this is why I don't spend too much time with other females,' thought Rima with a droopy-eyed expression. 'They read too much into a situation.'
A vein popped out of Ruka's forehead. 'Hey! What's with that expression? I'm not going to interrogate her or anything...much.'
A loud knock on the door disrupted the conversation (or, flow of thoughts, rather) and Ruka got up. She opened the door and was slightly surprised to see Kain and Aidou. Kain looked laid-back as ever, though there was a slightly sheepish look on his face. Aidou, on the other hand, was grinning stupidly.
"What's there to be so happy about, stupid?" asked Ruka, smirking at Aidou, her arms crossed.
Aidou's grin disappeared as he said, "Oi! You're the stupid one!"
"Say that again! I'll knock your teeth out!"
"Yeah right...Stupid!"
"Why I oughta--"
Kain said warningly, "Hanabusa...stop being immature."
He entered as Aidou pouted, thinking, 'Of course. Tell me off. Ruka's never wrong. Cough.'
Ruka stuck her tongue out at Aidou, who looked surprised at the childish display on her part. Perhaps because it was something Ruka wasn't accustomed to doing. Actually, she has been less tense lately and more relaxed. "Well, I'll get you two some tea," she said, rolling her eyes.
"Hey, Rima!" said Aidou cheerfully. Rima merely stared at the cup of tea in her hands. Sweat-dropping, Aidou sat on the small couch, looking around aimlessly. Kain sat on a chair, furtively looking outside the window. Kaname had disappeared off somewhere and has not returned yet. How does Ruka feel about this?
He glanced at the honey-blond-haired beauty and saw her worried eyes looking outside as well.
Kain sighed and turned his attention towards Rima.
The Touya girl looked worried about something, which was rare.
"Oi, Touya-san, " began Kain when the sound of breaking glass and gasp of pain reached his ears. He turned and saw that Ruka had let go of the teacup, which shattered in the sink. Her hand was a throbbing red.
"What happened?" asked Aidou as Kain walked over to her.
Ruka merely muttered, "It's nothing. I poured hot water on my hand."
"Because you weren't paying attention," murmured Kain, holding her hand under cold water. "Hanabusa, get some ice."
Hanabusa complied, whistling all the while. Ruka shot him a dirty look which he returned with a cheshire grin.
Kain placed the pack of ice on top of her hand. After awhile, the pain subsided, replaced by a numbing sensation. He removed the ice and held Ruka's hand gently, examining it carefully. Ruka didn't like the way her heart throbbed as his fingers delicately traced her hand. Snatching it back, Ruka cleared her throat and said, "I'm fine. I'll...uh, go make the tea now."
She busied herself immediately as Kain sighed heavily.
Aidou was laughing at Kain, tears coming out of his eyes because of the effort.
'Hahahahhaha! Revenge! Man, she was so freaked out. Hah!' thought the evil, blond-haired fellow.
"Hey," said Rima suddenly, catching everyone's attention. "Kain-senpai, Aidou-senpai, did you two see Shiki before?"
"Ano," began Aidou, his laughing fit gone, "Shiki looked to be in a foul mood, ne, didn't he, Akatsuki?"
Kain gave his cousin a look and said tactfully, "Well, Shiki is fine. He's in his room, sleeping as usual, Touya-san."
Rima nodded, staring at the liquid in her cup. It had cooled and lost its 'healing attributes'. Even if Shiki was fine...why did she feel so miserable? Something latched itself at her heart and his face flickered in her mind. Rima looked down, trying to remain cool-headed. 'Senri...what's wrong? I don't...understand why you are acting like this.'
The other three merely looked away thoughtfully, giving the girl a much appreciated moment of thought.
Ichiru walked aimlessly around the boys village as if he was on patrol.
It was dark and quiet all around him. The leaves rustled very faintly as an owl hooted quietly. The scurry of movement was very little; a sign of the night. However, the sounds of pond frogs and crickets produced the harmonious chime of the evening...of summer.
Ichiru looked around, staring at the night sky.
A dazzling flurry of stars decorated the sky, creating constellations.
This was something rarely seen in the city.
Which was why he loved going to Bakuei Kurosu...not as much as he loved being with Mari-
"Kuso," he cursed aloud, angry with himself. "Why did I let myself think of her?"
That was the whole point in joining Shizuka. To cut off emotional ties that led to pain, sorrow, and regret. Ichiru clenched his fists, his eyes closed tightly. Then his right hand dugged into the pocket of his jacket. He pulled out a key from it. It was small and silver, a red ribbon tied to the top of it. A single bell ended off at the ribbon.
"Hn," muttered Ichiru. "Wonder if Zero would ever need this thing...he probably will...very soon."
A bitter, angry smile played on his face.
"Dammit...why couldn't they just live us alone?" he said, falling onto his knees.
Ichiru began chuckling to himself...almost in an insane way.
"I'm pathetic...so damn pathetic...."
The next day was a particularly hot, blazing afternoon. Many campers had barely any energy left to move on. Sweating their backs out, everyone was in a bad mood, not helped by the constant outbreak of arguments that occurred. Even Yori, the calmest among them perhaps, found herself with a weary patience.
For some odd reason, she was avoiding Aidou.
Every time Yori spotted him, she found herself looking away.
It was just...frustrating and odd.
"Oi, Wakaba-san," said the Director. He was holding two cardboard boxes. "Are you still doing lunch duty?"
"Hai," answered Yori, unnerved by the sudden appearance of the exuberant man. He was smiling widely, looking like the weather was fine and handy-dandy.
"These are the new shipments of paper utensils and plates. Can you bring them the kitchen?" he asked.
Yori politely bowed and complied. The two boxes towered a little above her head by two inches as Yori walked away uneasily. "Oh! Aidou-kun!" said the Director's voice suddenly. "Can you help Yori-chan? I don't want her bumping into a tree or anything."
Yori felt herself cursing the Director out silently.
"Ano...it's okay, Director. I can take these in myself."
As if to completely prove her point wrong, Sayori walked into a tree with the boxes. "Gah!" she said just as the box on top toppled. Aidou ran forward and caught it with his arms just in time. "Obviously you can't," said Aidou with a cheeky grin. Yori looked away, bristling in annoyance and mostly self-anger. How idiotic can she be?
"I trust that you two will deliver these goods safe and soundly," said the Director, skipping away.
"Eh--but...ugh," muttered Yori, the weather not doing much good at the moment.
The two walked towards the mess hall, Yori deliberately walking ahead. She kept her eyes averted from him, concentrating more than necessary on the journey to her destination. Aidou watched her with curious blue eyes. 'Wakaba...is she deliberately avoiding me? Why?' thought Aidou irritably. 'Gosh...and I saved her life too. You think people would be more appreciative...society today.'
"Oi, Sayori-chan," said Aidou, catching up with her. His eye twitched as she noticeably walked faster.
She said coldly,"What is it?"
'Ouch. Ice queen much? I got shivers,' thought Aidou, sweat-dropping. Clearing his throat, he said, "What's with the cold attitude? I saved your life, you know. Some respect or gratitude would be nice."
Yori bit her lip and said, "I already thanked you yesterday."
Annoyed, Aidou reached forward and grabbed her shoulder. Yori turned and there was a slightly bewildered look on her face. An electrifying current seemed to travel throughout their bodies. Sayori practically jumped away. She disliked that feeling...yes...disliked it very much.
Aidou let go at the same moment, staring at his hand for a minute.
"I...uh, gomen," he said, walking ahead.
Yori sighed and followed him, noting to stay at least one step behind the whole time.
Ichijo generally loved eating lunch.
Mainly because the Tsuki Zankon members got together at this point for carefree moments.
Usually, Kaname would drink whatever special tea Ichijo brought. Rima and Shiki would eat their coveted pocky. Ichijo would joke around and eat happily. Kain and Aidou would have odd debates, Ruka watching with amusement. Even Seiren tended to be less tense and would seem at ease with all of them.
Today was different.
Kaname refused to eat and drink, staring out the window. Shiki and Rima sat far away from each other, not looking at one another. Neither of them seemed to be in the mood for pocky that day. Kain was deep in thought, almost down-hearted about something. Aidou was annoyed, stabbing the cheese cake he bought with much irritation. Ruka and Seiren were both distant and did not talk at all. Even the usual Seiren would say a word or two. Today...was silence.
Ichijo watched, his eyes traveling back and forth. He was trying to act normal but the effort was killing him. Remaining cheerful while everyone was in a bad mood was practically impossible. "You people...sigh," muttered Ichijo, placing his drink down. He got up and stretched. "Well, since I'm not in a grouchy mood, I will disengage myself away from this table to avoid being infected with the virus."
Several of the Tsuki Zankon members shot him a dirty look.
"Not our fault you're so carefree, Ichijo-san," grumbled Aidou, the cheese cake a poor victim underneath his fork.
Ichijo smiled grimly and said, "Yeah...carefree." Kaname looked sharply up at him, an unreadable expression in his eyes. "Well, ja ne!"
He wallked away, whistling a tune no one understood.
Dish-washing again.
Aidou was more experienced now and no longer complained constantly. Maybe a grimace or two, but still. An effort was an effort. The problem is, this time, the atmosphere was crackling with tension. Yori scrubbed the dishes with a force that made Aidou wince.
'It's like she's scrubbing MY face off.'
Not really a joyful prospect to be honest.
Aidou sighed and began washing the pile as well. There was two sinks, a huge space in the middle to place dirty dishes. The two worked diligently without talking. Normally, Aidou would think, 'Less talk, more work done.' This time, he knew better than to think that. There was more to it. He grumbled and placed a dish aside, reaching over for another dirty one immediately.
Yori's hands came, reaching for the same exact one.
Their fingers brushed, hands almost colliding gently.
'It's that feeling again,' thought Aidou with annoyance. He yanked his fingers away and said, "Um. I'll take this half. You take the other."
"Okay," said Yori shortly, continuing to work as if nothing happened.
Both of them knew, however, that it wasn't nothing.
Later, after they were done, Aidou went to put the silverware away while Sayori mopped the kitchen up. As she did so, she found herself thinking, 'Baka...why are you acting like this? It's completely absurd. More than that, I should know there isn't anything to be awkward about. Why am I behaving like this in the first place? Just because of some weird electrifying feeling? It's probably...something indicating for me to stay away or I'll get sick.'
Yori knew that her excuses were thinning and becoming more pathetic than ever.
She wasn't sure, but something, something....was telling her that it was more than that.
Placing the mop aside, Yori closed her eyes tightly, bringing a hand to massage her temples.
Lovely. She now had a headache to top off this beautiful, wonderful day.
"Sayori-chan?!" asked Aidou's alarmed voice. Before Yori could open her eyes properly, the hyperactive partner of hers began grabbing her by both shoulders. "Daijobu? Are you okay? Is it the snake bite?"
"No...I got...a damn headache...which you're not making better!" said Sayori testily. "And who said you can call me Sayori-chan?"
Aidou ignored that comment and merely stared at her with worried, unconvinced eyes.
Yori would normally look away from his gaze. Now, she found it almost...impossible. After the initial shock of finding her in pain, Aidou felt THAT feeling again. This time...his fingers and body froze.
As the tense energy surrounded them, the two barely thought about it at the moment.
Neither could tear away this time...something...something unknown held them in place.
Ichijo walked away from the main lounge with a mixed air of emotions.
He sighed and wondered vaguely about many things. What's wrong with Senri and Rima? What's Zero and Ichiru's connection with Shizuka? Was Seiren and Kaname hiding something? Is Aidou actually changing? Does Ruka possibly like Kain now?
The thoughts flooded his mind and Ichijo nearly went swirly-eyed because of it.
"How's everything, Yagari?" asked a serious voice.
Ichijo froze and processed the words. Odd. That was the Director's voice, only in a more serious tone than ever. To listen or not to listen. Ichijo shrugged and decided not to waltz by them. So he stood carefully still, hidden in the shadows, his back against the building.
Yagari spoke, "Shizuka has something planned. Whatever it is, she's very close to completing it."
"I see," said the Director ominously. Kaien didn't like the sound of this. "How disturbing."
"What's more disturbing," interjected Yagari carefully, "is Ichijo Takuma eavesdropping shamelessly."
Ichijo winced sheepishly as Kaien made a loud, "EH?!", sound. Stepping out and into view, Ichijo murmured, "Ehehe. Gomenasai. Sensei. Well...I'll be going now!"
He turned to run when Kaien said, "Wait, Ichijo-kun."
Ichijo fell over when he stopped suddenly. "Hai?" He braced himself. Hopefully these two adults will shed some mercy on him today.
"You...and the other Tsuki Zankon members...must be wondering about Kiriyuu Zero and Kiriyuu Ichiru's past. After all, I assume that Kuran-kun has ordered you all to understand what Shizuka is doing."
Ichijo listened carefully, looking for any signs of hidden motives. When he found none, Ichijo answered, "Yes...Kaname is assigning us to do so."
Kaien sighed thoughtfully and said, "I guess you all have the right to know why you're even investigating then."
"Nani?" asked Yagari, staring at the Director in disbelief. "Can you actually trust these kids with something so important?" He shot Ichijo a contemptuous look, suspicion evident in his eye. Ichijo sweat-dropped and said nothing.
Kaien pushed his glasses up and said seriously, "Yes...I can. I believe they should know." Yagari saw the look in Kaien's eyes, tched, but made no further complaint. "Kiriyuu Zero and Ichiru are both orphans."
This much Ichijo already knew, so he merely looked at the Director politely.
"They are...or rather, were, part of a yakuza."
"Nani?!" exclaimed Ichijo in a low whisper, eyes wide. Yakuza? He didn't hear about this from Kaname. Wait...did Kaname even know?
Kaien continued, "Not only that...they weren't part of any normal yakuza. They were part of one of the head Yakuza organizations. The leader of that 'gang' controlled a total of 59 other yakuza gangs."
Ichijo's jaw was pretty much hanging as he processed these words. Worse, Ichijo knew of the organization the Director spoke of. Ketsueki no Omonpakari. Fears of Blood, translated roughly in English. The Ichijo family were successors of a police force and academy so Takuma knew how dangerous and deadly this organization was.
No one could ever catch one of their members, or rather, ketsumei. Blood pledges.
"Ano matte, Director. I'm sorry for interrupting, but...you say they were part of this organization. How on earth did they leave? I heard that if a ketsumei wishes to leave, the only way is through death," said Ichijo, perplexed. No person can leave. No one.
"That is correct," answered Yagari shockingly. He flicked his cigarette away and said gruffly, "However, the story is much more complicated. The Kiriyuu twins were adopted into the Ketsueki no Omonpakari. At a young age, already, they were trained to become true ketsumei. I," said Yagari softly, " was friends with their dead parents. So it was my job to take them out of that hellhole."
"And I did," said the man with a smile of relish. Ichijo shuddered inwardly. "I...tricked one of the most well-known, deadliest ketsumei there into falling in love with me." There was almost a look of longing and regret on Yagari's face. Kaien didn't say anything, looking away pointedly. "I was able to snatch Zero and Ichiru out and brought them to this baka here." The Director pouted and started yelling at Yagari.
Ichijo ignored the two, going over the conversation.
Deadliest ketsumei...fallen in love...no way.
A page from one of the books in the police academy flashed in Ichjo's mind.
Hiou Shizuka
Crime: Ketsumei of Ketsueki no Omonpakari.
Rank: 6
Whereabouts: Unknown
"Wait," asked Ichijo carefully. The two older men stopped their argument and looked at Ichijo curiously. "So...Shizuka-san is here to get revenge on you, Yagari-sensei?"
"It's not only that," answered Kaien as Yagari looked away grimly.
"Zero...was supposed to be the next successor."
"Wait," exclaimed Ichijo, "if that's the case, Shizuka's going to try and target him at all costs!"
Yagari scoffed bitterly.
"Exactly."
Yori and Aidou were later found in the main lounge with the rest of Tsuki Zankon and Zero. However, the two stood on opposite sides of the room, avoiding each other gazes.
In fact, everyone avoided everyone's gazes.
Kaname, however, was glaring directly at Zero, who felt the hostility and returned it with equal intensity.
Just when everyone was about to drown in silence, Kaname said coldly, "It's time you told Yuuki, Kiriyuu."
"You don't have the right to tell me what to do, Kuran," growled Zero.
The two glared at each, the air of an old rivalry, cursed dislike, and stunningly powerful negative force surrounding them. Tsuki Zankon stood up, Ichijo more wary than the rest. He could tell, at Kaname's statement, that his childhood friend had known about Zero's past all along.
And he didn't tell any of the Tsuki Zankon members.
Zero said, "Yuuki's been avoiding everyone for the past few days. What did you do to her that night?"
"Me?" asked Kaname, his tone hinting contempt. "Kiriyuu, maybe you might have forgotten but you told her to avoid you."
Zero tched and stepped forward to Kaname. Seiren stood closer to the Kuran, practically hissing at Zero. The tension was thick and horrible and then...the doors of the lounge opened.
"Ohay...," drifted off the voice of Yuuki. She glanced at the scene shockingly and her cheerful nature was faltered by the sight of Zero. "Um...I'll be going." She deliberately avoided Kaname's gaze...and ran out the doors.
"Yuuki!" shouted Zero and Yori at the same time.
Maria was sitting behind the tree, lost in thought.
Never would she have found herself in this particular situation.
Kurosu Yuuki had suddenly ran out and was sobbing. Maria, worried, got up and followed the usually energetic girl to the forest. At night, however, things were much harder to distinguish. "Yuuki? Yuuki-chan?" asked Maria tentatively, looking around. The distinct sound of sniffles reached Maria's ears but she couldn't tell where they were coming from.
"Yuu-"
A short shriek, scuffling, and the sound of people grumbling cut off Maria's call. The Kurenai girl pushed back the shrubs and crouched down. Fear clutched at her heart as she saw Yuuki unconscious. A group of people stood around her. Maria couldn't see who they were since it was so dark.
"What should we do with her, Shizuka-sama?" asked a voice.
Shizuka? She's behind this?
Maria bit her lip and considered her options. If she confronted them...she stood no chance.
Zero...Zero-kun can do something!
"Just bring her to where Chimidoro-sama chose," came Shizuka's voice. Maria shivered as the tone felt like ice. Then someone else spoke...someone Maria missed all too much. If only she had known that her words to protect him would only push him to Shizuka in the end.
"Shizuka-sama," said Ichiru politely. Maria swallowed back the bile threatening to rise up her throat. "Are...are you sure about this?"
"Yes, I am, Ichiru. Are you backing out now? After all those pledges and promises?"
"No," said Ichiru firmly and coldly. Shizuka could be seen smirking in pleasure at the obedience Ichiru displayed.
"Let's go," said Shizuka. They all left, one lingering behind. Maria waited for the person to leave before she could react. To her shock, the person whispered softly, "Give this to Zero." The figure bent down and placed something on the ground.
Then he left, silence replacing his footsteps.
Maria stood up slowly and walked carefully over to where Ichiru stood before. She bent down as something glimmered. A small, silver key with a bell attached. Why would Zero need this?
Then, as if she had an important mission, Maria clenched the key tightly and ran back to the camp grounds.
It's time everything was set right.
The air was thick with tension.
Kaname and Zero glared at each other with a dislike...a hatred, even, that could not be described in words.
Not much could be said however, for at that moment, an unexpected person arrived.
"Everyone! Stop!" shouted Maria, barging through the doors.
Zero glared at her coldly. Maria flinched for she knew why. The thought of Ichiru saddened her but a more pressing matter was at hand.
"There's something I need to tell you all!"
"Why should we listen?" asked Zero darkly.
Yori glanced at Maria's sincere yet desperate expression and said, "Hang on. What's wrong? What happened, Maria?"
Maria took a haggard breath and then broke into a sob.
"Yuuki...Yuuki's been captured by Shizuka and the others!"
Everyone stared at her incredulously. "Is that a joke?" asked Aidou, trying to laugh it off nervously. "You're insane, Kurenai."
Zero, however, knew that Shizuka would very well kidnap Yuuki. "Kuso!" said Zero. "Where did they head off?"
"I...I don't know," said Maria. Zero grabbed the girl by her shoulders and said, "Maria, where the fuck is Yuuki? How can you not-" A hand grabbed Zero's arm. He looked up and spotted Yori's calm yet worried eyes.
"Let go of her, Zero-senpai. Maria, tell us what happened calmly."
Zero let go and Maria repeated everything. At the mention of Chimidoro-sama, Zero realized where they went.
"We need to get to the top of Hikitsuri Mountain," said Zero.
Ruka said sharply, "Chotto matte, Kiriyuu. It's going to rain soon and Hikitsuri Mountain? How the hell are you going to get there in time? From where we are, it'll take an hour and a half...if it's not raining!"
Ichijo said, "I'll call for help. We'll have to take the shortcut."
"Fine. However, we need to be careful of Shizuka's traps," said Ruka.
Aidou pointed out, "Not to mention, we should all spilt up into groups. If we move as one, things would only be more difficult." Zero listened to the plan. The others understood the gravity of the situation and soon, a temporary unity was formed among everyone. "Let's go," said Aidou determinedly.
Each and every person looked at each other with a desperate hope and profound feeling. Yori met Aidou's eyes, and he nodded encouragingly to her. She took a deep breath as she followed the others out the door.
Zero trailed afterwards but Maria stopped him.
"Ichiru told me to give this to you."
Zero opened his palm and a key fell into his hand, the bell ringing slightly. His eyes widened and Zero said, "Arigatou, Maria." He ran out and towards the main building where his room was located. Swinging the door open, Zero spotted the box he took out a few nights before.
With a deep breath, he placed the key in and turned it. The box opened and Zero pulled the object inside out.
In the moonlight, the words engraved glimmered noticeably.
Bloody Rose.
Aidou: Ohayho! Aidou Hanabusa here. Next time on VK: Bite My Heart, things get serious. Yuuki is kidnapped and the others aren't sure if they can make it in time. It seems only Kiriyuu has the chance to save her. However, the Ketsueki no Omonpakari gang are more vicious than they sound! In a battle of blood, tears, and the pain of the past, what exactly will unfold in what MAY be the FINAL battle between the Kiriyuu Twins and Ketsueki no Omonpakari?
