A/N: OMG what is this...an update? Alright, I know I've seriously neglected this story oh so badly. I won't lie, I have no excuse for as to why but I haven't had internet for the past two/two and a half weeks, so I've been going through the chapters and fixing them. I got rid of my OC and replaced her with Sayori. So if this really is an update for you I would at the very least reread ch. 7 and up if not then don't worry about it c:

"Damn it." Zero cursed. He was out in town late at night with some weird smell that apparently attracted vampires. What Kaname was doing with such a thing, Zero didn't want to know, but this was not his idea of a relaxing late night. Kaname, Aido, and Yagari were hidden in the shadows, all vampire auras being covered, while the exorcists hid in an abandoned building with Kanda and Lenalee's golem flying around them. Timcanpy was trailing Zero in case the exorcists were needed. Zero continued to walk, occasionally having to take care of a rogue level E. Zero felt the hairs on the back of his neck rise and he stopped were he stood. There was a vampire...a powerful one and it was nearby. "My, my, to think you strayed out of your sanctuary and smelling so delicious." a shadowy figure jumped from a building and landed gracefully. Zero stayed silent has he grabbed Bloody Rose and pointed her at the man. "I hope you don't plan on shooting me with that. You obviously came looking for me if you're like that." out of the shadows with his hands up, stepped someone who looked no older than Zero. His black hair framed his face and just barely touched his shoulders, his eyes, the color of the ocean, seemed to glow in the moonlight and from the looks of it he was probably about as tall as Zero if not an inch or two taller. "What is it you want?" Zero kept his gun raised as the vampire stepped closer. "I thought we established that it was you." the vampire sniffed the air once he was closer to the silverette. Zero glared at the raven haired vampire in disgust. "Did your master already take you...that would be a bit disappointing." Zero gave the raven a questioning glare as the he pouted.

The group was more than ready to pounce and deal with the outrageous vampire but they needed him to let his guard down. Zero growled as the vampire used his speed to knock Bloody Rose out of his hand and invade his personal space. The hidden group, about to attack, were engulfed in bubble-like barriers and floated out of their hiding spot. They all struggled to break free. The exorcists heard the commotion through Timcanpy and made their way to Zero's location. The raven hadn't expected a giant hammer to land where he was just previously standing, inches away from Zero, nor did he expect a large silver clawed hand to come up from behind and grab him. The pureblood was forced to his knees with his hands behind his back in ice handcuffs."I find this to be a bit much." The pureblood complained. "Of course you do, your the one who got caught." Aido commented. "I just can't believe he's this young." Lavi bent down to examine the vampire's face. "You should know by now the a vampires appearance shows nothing of age, little one. By the way can I ask what was used to make the angel smell so good?" Lavi backed away as Zero growled and pointed Bloody Rose at the laughing vampire. "I say we just shoot him dead and solve the problem." Zero growled out. "Unfortunately we can't do that." Kaname sounded frustrated but kept it to himself. Allen and Aido escorted the vampire as Zero went so far as to use Kaname as a shield because every time he got too close to the creep he tried to do something to him.

Now at the moon dorms, they had the vampire on the couch as they surrounded him. "Could you take these off. I think they're giving me frost bite." Zero growled and Kaname glared. "He's quite the complainer." Lavi whispered to Allen who nodded in return."Who are you?" Aido asked. "Hishigia Raven." Raven smirked. "I still say you let me shoot him and be done with it. That's the only thing he's answered since we got him here." Zero was still staying away from Raven. He wouldn't say anything but just about everyone could figure out that Zero was more then disturbed by this vampire. "I would be more than happy to help you buuuuut, I'm also more then a bit uncomfortable. Trust me I have no reason to escape. What I want is already here and I know I stand no chance if I were to take him and run. He'd either blow my head off first or his owner would make sure I had pieces in every country." Raven explained as though it was more than obvious. "Why do you keep insisting that I have some kind of master. I've never had one." Zero growled from across the room. "Well, excuse me, I had assumed seeing as Mr. insists-on-keeping-me-handcuffed here is the only pureblood in the room...other then myself and Yuuki-hime of course. That and you smell of-" before Raven could finish Kaname used his mind to throw Raven into the wall behind the couch. The cuffs broke and he groaned as he slid to the floor. "Now talk." The room temperature dropped and everyone could feel the malice in Kaname's voice and aura, yet Raven took his sweet time getting back to his seat. He sat down and made himself comfortable before saying anything. "The Earl wanted a way to get rid of whitey over here," Raven pointed to Allen, "and I wanted a way to get Zero. So we helped each other. I told him if he used a vampire's corpse his precious abominations would be harder to kill. He of course didn't believe me at first. You know he could bring back the dead and turn them into weapons but vampires can't exists. Its not like we are a completely different species, we only came to be because of spontaneous genetic oddity born from humans ten thousand years ago as a result of climate change but whatever. He had one of his creepy beast shoot at me and stayed to watch the pentacle spread. They did, slowly, and then they disappeared. I got up and explained to him how a vampire's healing works. I may have had to manipulate the vampires into calling for their loved ones of course. Our species isn't stupid enough to trust this guy. Plus it's hard since we just turn to ash when were dead..." Raven trailed off. "Wow...you're a horrible ally, you just spilled with no problem." Aido remarked."You haven't had to stay in the same place as him. He talks but his mouth doesn't move, granted I'm pretty sure it's a mask, but its freaking disturbing...have you ever woke up with that thing staring you in the face? Not cool, plus Rhode won't leave me alone and she's always with this weird talking umbrella. The guy's a total creep." Raven finished and the exorcists shuddered. "That...does sound...disturbing." Aido agreed as Lavi whispered to Allen. "Told ya he was a creep." Allen nodded. "That's it?" Raven nodded to Kaname. "We didn't exactly trust each other I can only tell you what he told me." Raven crossed his arms over his chest and brought his feet onto the couch. Kaname nodded and began to think to himself.

"So I just have say this as it's in my personality to do so but...you're pretty weird," Raven raised an questioning brow, "childish and freakishly obsessed with Zero." Lavi pointed out. "Well that was mean." Raven pouted. "Why are you after Zero?" Yuuki piped in from the other side of the couch. Everyone looked to the petite girl having forgotten she was there. "Well one of the Kiryūs married a daughter from one of the Hishigia branches and in return they were to give there first born to the girl's parents so that it my take her place in the Hishigia family. However, they never did because at the time most of the Kiryūs were beginning to separate themselves from other vampires. That means that the Kiryūs still owe us and with Zero being the only one left- oof." Lenalee threw a couch pillow at Raven and stomped her way over to him. Her expression was frightening as she grabbed Raven by the front of his shirt. "So you mean to tell me that all of this was because of some stupid agreement formed forever ago." Lenalee growled and Raven nodded. Not sure why he was defending the man, Aido butted in. "Vampires actually take deals quite seriously especially pureblood families and even more so an agreement of such a nature." Aido got softer and softer as he came to an end and Lenalee glared at him. The blond yelped and hid behind his fiery haired cousin.

Now normally Lenalee wasn't a violet person to anyone other than akuma but this was just unacceptable. Especially over something so ridiculous. "So you mean to tell me that you gave the Earl a new weapon and endangered my family and friends for a DEAL!" Raven flinched as Lenalee got louder and louder but never-the-less nodded.. Never in his recent years had the pureblood felt like the child he acted as, but having this pigtailed girl reprimand him reminded him of the times his mother would do the same. At Raven's confirmation she drew her hand back and slapped him across the face. Hard. The pureblood was an enemy but she couldn't kill him, he wasn't an akuma but someone who was very much alive...or alive as a vampire could get, she wasn't quite sure how that worked but either way she couldn't, in good conscious kill the man but the slap had left her pretty damn satisfied as she walked back over to the other exorcist. "Wow." Lavi whispered. The others nodded. Even Kanda was surprised by Lenalee's actions.

A/N: So I just feel like I need to say this

Raven is a bit...childish and a pretty pathetic pureblood, that's the point.

Also Lenalee may seem a bit OOC at the end but...I dunno, she thinks of those of the order as family and they're all very important people to her so I can kinda see her going all Mama Lenalee lol
