Chapter -10-
(Kiryuu Zero is a Hunter)
'Two months, one week, four days, nineteen hours, and twenty seven minutes' Zero stared at the ceiling of his crimson walled bedroom; that's how long he has been living in this "Vampire" dorm. He sighed softly thinking, a couple of things kept him sane and in place: 'Yuuki, Hunt, and…' Zero chuckled slightly "oh dear White Lily."
Zero took a deep breath before getting up and making his way to the shower. The hot water felt so refreshing and relaxing on his pale skin, he had just finished classes ten minutes ago, for it was 10:10PM, and Zero needed this shower to relax and prepare for what he was about to encounter. The cursive transcript of the letter he received from the Hunter Association this morning flashed in his mind; Four Level-Es have been roaming the city for three days, killing and sucking innocent people dry, Zero clinched his fists tight, he really wanted to go immediately; his Vampire side wanting to put those beasts out of their miseries, and his Hunter side wanting to stop the killing of the innocent people, but he knew that it was useless to go in day light. Day light didn't affect him, but still he was way stronger at night, and besides those level-Es won't strike in the middle of the Day, they were stupid beasts, yes, but they were not that stupid. 'But wow! Four? Really? And it took them three days to notice them!' Zero thought annoyed.
Finally finishing off rinsing his body, Zero stepped out of the shower, pulled a towel, wrapped it around his waist and went back to his room; he glanced at the digital clock by his bed, which read 10:38PM. The Hunter started getting dressed; putting on his dark grey slacks, his long sleeved, white dress shirt, finally he put on his grey and black plaid vest, and fixed his shirt collar above it. He shuffled a smaller towel over his head, merely drying his Silver locks before pulling his arms in his long trench coat and heaving it over his fit shoulders; he shrugged slightly adjusting the coat over his toned body, and then reached for the metal chain laying on the nightstand ,next to Bloody Rose, he secured one end to the back of his exquisite gun, and the other end to the small metal chain placed at the back of his Vest, he placed his Bloody Rose in the inside pocket of his coat. The Hunter tugged his coat firmly, buttoning it up and slightly hiding a certain Tattoo on the left side of his neck , after putting on his black dress lace-up shoes, Zero was finally ready to go on some Vampire Hunting.

The Noble beauty strolled through the Night dorms' hallways, her long, shiny, honey, wavy strands trailing behind her gracefully. She huffed in annoyance, she was really bored; classes finished about fifteen minutes ago, and it was free time, she knew that she was supposed to work on some of her home works, but she couldn't care less what that vampire hunter/teacher thought of her if she didn't do it. Ruka snarled when she suddenly remembered a silver hair and a pair of violet, rude, arrogant eyes. She huffed again walking faster and thinking wildly.' I can't believe that everyone has actually accepted the fact that he lives as one of us, and breathes the same air, and eats the same food! I can never forget the looks, the insults that low life always seemed to project towards Kaname-sama! He makes me really angry! The way he thinks he is actually something more than a low level vampire! Humph! Bragging about being a hunter, and waving that bloody gun around every time he had the chance! Who does he think he is? And that's not it! He doesn't just wave his gun around, he waves it around…No! He points it at Kaname-sama! At Kaname-sama!' Ruka shook her head in frustration and disbelieve, clinching her fists, she really wanted to kill that bastard, to hurt him, the way he hurt her when he attacked and insulted her precious Lord, Kaname.
Ruka suddenly jerked her head up, she could sense someone near, someone familiar, and she slid and hid behind a corner waiting. Soon enough the hunter appeared, he was all dressed up and ready to leave, apparently. The Kiryuu looked around before jumping out of the opened window and into the night. Ruka smirked, 'this should be interesting' she thought. 'Let's see where you are going Kiryuu Zero, and who knows it might just be my chance.'
The blonde jumped out of the window before she masked her scent, and started following the hunter carefully; going into the thick forest and walking down a road towards the City.
-~~~LINE~~~-
'Two hours' Ruka thought, 'he has been roaming the city for two hours!' until now she hadn't had the chance to jump at the Hunter, who was walking down another public street. He would just walk around the city without glancing at anything, like he was supposed to meet someone 'or maybe looking for someone?' Ruka huffed in annoyance, and just when she was about to turn back to the Academy, she glimpsed the silver hair disappear into a small, narrow alley. The Noble's lips stretched into a victory smirk.
Zero walked down the alley carefully, with his hunter instincts full force, trying to detect any Level-Es. They were not total weaklings, they had the ability to mask their scents, but that would work only against Vampires like themselves, and that's where Zero's Hunter blood plays its most vital part.
For Two hours he hasn't been lucky but now he could sense a presence in this narrow alley, 'three probably' Zero thought, reaching for his gun.' Where was the Fourth one?' Zero wondered, 'And what is this weird feeling?' He felt his Hunter senses trying to break through something, trying to tell him something, Zero ignored them though, thinking that it was probably just natural for his sense to act up; there were three vampires lurking around after all. He listened carefully and sensed fully, the alley was very long, dark, and full of dirt and dust; it looked like no one ever comes here, he surveyed the tall, ruined buildings on either side, they looked like they have been abandoned for quite sometime, and a satisfied smile appeared on his elegant features, this was the perfect place to kill Vampires.
Just when Zero started to move towards the presence of the first Level-E, a hideous pain shot through his chest, 'What the hell!' Zero clinched his teeth, shutting his eyes tightly, and hissing agonizingly as he clutched at his chest rigidly. He couldn't breathe normally any more, he started panting and heaving as he felt the foreign pain spreading to the rest of his body slowly, excruciatingly. Zero's heart was beating rapidly, irregularly; Zero thought it was going to eventually burst out of his chest. He was starting to panic; he didn't understand how this new type of pain worked; every inch of his body burned, tingled, and prickled. His skin was extremely sensitive; he could feel the slightest blow of wind; his insides clenched and writhed overwhelmingly as he felt the urge to through up, or pass out or just die!
Finally, the burning sensation, extreme sensitiveness, and the writhe in his insides stopped all together, really suddenly! Zero gasped hoarsely as the old pain was replaced with utter numbness, he felt light headed, his muscles were fatigued, completely exhausted, his senses all worn out, the Vampire and Hunter ones. He let his eye lids close slowly and groaned in pain as he felt his knees hit the ground.
'What was going on?' Zero thought as he was bent twisting in pain on all fours, his hair fell on his clenched eyes, and his arms barely held him; shaking endlessly. His sweat tickled irritatingly as it trickled down his face and body. His arms finally gave away as he fell on his back, hugging his shaking form and turning to his left. 'I must get up!' Zero thought panicking; the level-Es where getting closer, for he could sense them now. He snarled at the urge to pass out which brushed his consciousness.
Zero's eyes suddenly shut open wide, as the presence of a certain Noble which he recognized very well downed on him. His shock was even greater when his eyes met graceful legs that undoubtedly belonged to the same Noble beast. Zero turned his head slightly up and violet eyes were met back with death glaring honeys.
"Hello Hunter" Ruka greeted sarcastically.

Kuran Kaname stood loosely in front of his bedroom window watching the view outside; A calm lake surrounded by a couple of small trees that eventually got thicker and bigger, forming a forest at the other end of the same, lit by the moon light lake.
He turned, tilted his head slightly to the back glancing at the door.
"Come in Takuma." Kaname ordered, turning fully.
The door creaked, and the blonde noble appeared, slightly looking apologetic. The pureblood sighed inwardly, he was sure something bad and probably stupid had happened. Kaname noticed that the noble was not talking.
"What seems to be the problem?" He encouraged the fidgeting vampire.
"k-Kaname-sama…I think something bad might happen, I take it that you're aware that kiryuu-kun has a hunting duty tonight?" Takuma started getting nervous again.
"Yes, I am aware of that fact, the Cross Chairman told me something about it. What of it?" Kaname asked bluntly, 'Where was this going?' he thought irritated.
"Eeto…You see, I don't know if I should be worried, but I kind of saw Ruka-san leave after him." Takuma finally said. "And I don't want to start something or accuse anyone of anything…but…well, let's just say that there might be a fight tonight between a Hunter and a Noble." Takuma finished smiling troublingly, and putting his hands up in defeat.
Kaname sighed frustratingly, not noticing the noble flinch in front of him; he turned back to his window. 'This foolish Noble, did she think she was doing him a favor? But then again he can't blame her, she knows nothing of his plans, she knows not the Kiryuu boy's importance. The hunter must live, must survive, and it was already hard doing so with him being a level-D and all, now he has to deal with people trying to kill him!' Kaname sighed yet again, and without turning back to look at the waiting blonde, ordered.
"Takuma, I will leave it to you, you can take Shiki and Rima with you if you like. Seek that no harm befalls the boy, he is still an important player in my game." Kaname smirked.
Takuma recoiled slightly, before bowing and answering. "As you wish Kaname-sama."
And with that the blonde stormed out to see to his task immediately.
