Chapter -11-
Kiryuu Zero is a good Hunter
"Uugh…" Zero groaned, a lot of feelings washing threw him; angry at himself for allowing it to be in this miserable state, and angry at the Noble that stood stupidly, arrogantly in front of him; what an idiot! Could she not tell that he was out on a hunt? 'Stupid Vampires'
He, of course, also felt hurt and numb all over; his body was sore and felt very heavy and non-responsive, his head throbbed and ached painfully, causing his vision to lose its focus now and then. But most importantly Zero was restrained, wary, and cautious; for he knew that any minute now the three hiding level Es are not going to be hiding anymore. He could sense them so dangerously close; they were probably just four meters away from where he and the Noble were, hiding in the nearby, abandoned buildings.
Zero was finally on his feet standing partially straight, glancing everywhere but at the Noble in front of him. That seemed to irritate her, and she scowled at him in anger.
"Well, Hunter, I really don't like to waste time, do you know why I'm attacking you?" Ruka bellowed placing a hand on her elegant hip arrogantly.
"…" Zero just raised a delicate, silver eye brow at the Noble Vampire, seriously? He didn't careless why she would attack him, he just wished he could attack her back, but unfortunately for him, and especially him, he had to abide and follow the Hunter Association rules fully. It was for obvious reasons, he was a Vampire and no matter how much they tried to, they could never treat him the same as a Hunter, betrayal was expected from him and also not tolerated at all. And one of these rules is to not lay a hand on a Vampire that has not been placed on the list, that's not all, but the Hunters are also expected to protect the Vampires as much as the Vampires are to protect the Hunters; It's how they have been living for centuries now.
In Zero's own opinion, this did not work at all; his parents were good Hunters, they went by the rules, they protected Vampires, they killed the ones only on the list, and they were one of the best Hunting families on Earth. Zero scoffed bitterly at the thought, look where that has gotten them, butchered by the "girlfriend" of the "listed" Vampire. But Zero still was not about to break the rules not only because of the Hunter Association, but also, mostly, because he wanted to honor the memory of his parents and their believes.
"Hey, level-D, are you listening to what I'm saying?" Ruka waved her hand in front of the dazed off hunter.
Amethyst eyes finally looked up at her questioningly, but still not so interested, his hand moving to the inside of his pocket. Ruka's frown deepened.
"I think you know that…"
Zero wasn't hearing the Noble's voice anymore; he could only hear the rasped panting that was getting closer and higher…
"…And Kaname-sama has already…"
'…Huff…huh..hah…'
"…Everyone else think you…"
'…Humph…hmm…arghhh…'
"…Don't think they are in their righ…WOOAH!" Ruka screeched gasping and cutting her sentence when the Hunter raised his left hand suddenly grasping her left shoulder tightly before throwing her aside, and pulling his Bloody Rose swiftly, aiming straight ahead and…
BANG! BANG! BANG!
Three shots pierced the night sky but, more importantly, the level-E that was now in the exact same spot the Noble was in a second ago.
"Wha…" The question was not completely phrased as the Noble stared at the level-E that was turning to ashes now. She was in total shock, so the Hunter was actually on a Hunt!?
"I-I thought you wouldn't…be allowed to hunt anymore…" Ruka stuttered in confusion looking at the hunter then back at the ashes, fear flashed in her eyes, what a sad ending a vampire has.
"Well…I…huf…am" Zero replied panting heavily, the sudden, quick movements causing his fatigued body to suffer more. He sighed tiredly and looked up at the two vampires that have obviously been looking for a meal, and they were probably interested in the Noble blood to Zero's left.
Zero was shocked to see the Noble move in a fast movement, dashing towards the level –E in front of her; she delivered quick strikes and engaged herself in a stirring fight with the other Vampire.
Zero just accepted the help with no commentary before moving toward his prey.
-~~~LINE~~~-
Takuma glanced behind him making sure that the two Nobles were still following him. Shiki and Rima were both moving fast, but Takuma was still moving faster; he was very worried although he didn't show it. 'Why? Why did Ruka have to ruin everything?' How arrogant of her to think that she was helping Kaname when she was absolutely not, but in fact she was ruining his plans completely by trying to murder a very important fragment.
Takuma's thoughts were interrupted; he faintly could sense the familiar scents of the Noble and the Hunter and… other vampires? Takuma glanced back at his two friends giving them a meaningful node; they returned it back, level-Es.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG! BANG!
Zero's gunshots pierced the level-E harshly, turning the level-E into ashes. He was standing on top of the roof of one of the ruined buildings; he had ended up there after the long chase encounter between him and the level-E. Zero frowned sensing the Fourth level-E finally getting closer; he glanced up looking for the Noble and the level-E.
Ruka was on the roof of the opposite building, she was standing as gracefully as ever like she didn't just have a fight, which she technically didn't; the Noble was obviously using her powers, for the level-E was on the floor writhing in pain. But she hadn't killed him yet; she could not, not without a Hunter weapon. The Noble looked at the Hunter, gesturing, pointing with her head towards the squirming level-E.
Zero frowned at her; he then looked at the level-E, so many emotions washed through him, anger, despair, sympathy, understanding and then…determination. The Hunter raised the arm holding the gun slowly.
BANG! BANG! BANG!
One day it will be him. Zero closed his eyes, and turned from the view of the flying ashes.
Ruka was looking at him all this time. 'Is that sadness I see in his eyes?' The Noble wondered studying the Hunter carefully.
The two Vampires descended gracefully from the buildings into the narrow alley; both in deep thought and not bothering to chat. Zero glanced up first and suddenly! The level-E has gotten too close to them and Zero was in such deep thoughts that he didn't notice it.
" So, back to our previous conve…Aaaugh…" Ruka's speech was cut for the second time that night, and for the same reason too; Zero had pushed her out of the way, one thing was different this time though; neither Zero nor his gun were ready, plus his muscles were fatigued from the events tonight, and he could only move fast enough to push the talkative Noble out of the way.
"…Uuugghh…" Zero groaned in pain; he was pinned to a wall, the level-E's claws piercing through him; the level-E's right hand penetrated his left shoulder pinning him to the wall, while his abdomen was stabbed by the level-E's other hand.
"…Haah…" Zero gasped at the different, painful, burning sensations running up and down his body, but he didn't have to release the air he just inhaled before gasping again in both pain and surprise.
The level-E just pierced his neck savagely, ripping his dedicate, soft skin apart before feeding eagerly on the Hunter. Zero shut his eyes tightly and tried to ignore the pain, scratch that, the pains, the different pains that ran through him as the beast started drawing large amounts of his blood and gulping it down selfishly. The Hunter tried to focus on his shaking hand that was moving toward his gun's location.
Zero's eyes shut open when he felt a thin, light hand going past his jacket and into his inner pocket, grabbing and pulling Bloody Rose. Ruka.
The level-E was so lost in his meal that he didn't notice the Noble getting closer; he only felt hard circular metal on the back of his head, and…
BANG!
Ashes.
Thump!
Ruka threw the gun in disgust after shooting the mad level-E in the head. She glanced at the Hunter. He was a complete mess; he had slid down now sitting on the floor, dazed, supporting his back against the wall. The smell of his unique blood was everywhere, Ruka sniffed it, you can't describe it as delicious, but it was definitely different, exciting, thrilling; it was a mixture of everything, Human blood, Hunter blood, Vampire blood, maybe even pureblood? And there was something else unique about it that she couldn't quite put her finger on it. It had something to do with his Hunter scents, his Hunter blood was boiling with so much more than any other red cell in his body.
Zero gasped and clutched his middle where the level-E had stabbed him, he groaned and threw his head back to the wall, his eyes shutting tightly as the pain increased quickly, searing from his middle to all parts of his body, his fingers loosened its grip around his middle; he was starting to daze off, his eyes fluttered and his body shivered slightly as the crimson blood seeped out of him freely and in large amounts. He tried to fight the hollowness and blackness that was trying to seep through him, but his strength was leaving him gradually. Finally, his eyelids covered his blurry vision, his body went limp, and he passed out.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG!
The three Noble heads bolted upward following the sound of the gun shut, it was the Hunter's gun shut, and they all recognized it very well, but that's not it! Blood, lots of blood was being spelled. Takuma increased his speed if possible, and the two Nobles followed. Kiryuu Zero's blood was filling the atmosphere with its heavy smell.
Finally they reached a long, narrow alley that seemed pretty abandoned, but they could feel the presence of the Noble, and smell of the other's blood getting stronger. They were getting closer, and it actually scared the blonde of what they were about to discover.
"There are no more level –Es" Rima stated in confusion.
"Kiryuu-kun was on a hunting mission after all," Takuma said reminding her.
"Uggh…damn it!"
The Three heads turned to where the familiar sound of the fourth noble came from.
"Ruka!" Takuma yelled as he dashed to her presence, Rima and Shiki right behind him.
They were half way through the narrow alley when they saw the horrific scene that was placed in front of them; Ruka, covered in crimson blood was partially standing as she supported the Hunter, obviously, trying to make him stand, the Hunter in the other hand was actually trying to stand, his eyes seemed unfocused and fluttering, his arm was draped around Ruka's shoulder while her hand went around his waist gripping it firmly, but not too firmly because…
The three Nobles gasped in horror as their eyes fell on the huge gap in the Hunter's middle, and finally knew where all that blood came from, his shoulder seemed to be ruined too, but not as horrible as his stomach; it was impossible for the Hunter to even be conscious right now, and he was actually trying to walk? Takuma and the others knew how much that must hurt, so they hurried towards the bloody Vampire helping Ruka in supporting him.
"Kiryuu-kun!... Ruka! What happened?" Takuma yelped as he pushed Zero's trembling shoulders up, while Shiki held him from the other side, placing his limp arm around his own shoulder gently.
Ruka looked really terrible too, but more on the emotional side, her eyes where wide, and she was in some kind of a shock. 'What the hell have she done!'
"…L-lev…el…E..s…" Zero panted heavily answering Takuma's question.
"….Uugggh…" The hunter groaned in pain.
"Shh, Kiryuu-kun, please don't speak anymore you're in a very critical condition." The blonde said in a worried voice.
"…wh..why..dd..do…yo..ou…ca..care…." Zero wheezed out ignoring the blonde's earlier advise.
Takuma was a little bit hurt, but he didn't take it personally, he did, after all, know all about Kaname's plans and he didn't do anything about it. For now he had to make sure the Hunter stays alive.
"Rima! Take care of Ruka. Shiki and I will take Kiryuu-kun back to the academy, and you will follow us." Takuma ordered, the two Nobles nodded their heads obediently; Rima advanced to Ruka and took her by the arm, while Shiki and Takuma supported the injured Hunter standing each on one side next to him making there way to the academy.
They were moving really slowly due to the fact the Hunter was barely moving; he looked like he was struggling not to pass out any minute now, he was too stubborn that he didn't allow to be carried, if only he would pass out they would carry him easily to the Moon dorms.
Zero felt very tired, his vision was blurry, and he didn't know where he was or with who, he couldn't recognize anything anymore, he only knew that no matter what he could not close his eyes, no, not yet. Every now and then a throbbing would sear through him coming from his middle section and his legs would give away under his pained weight, but he would not pass out, he would, every time, be aware of the two hands tugging gently at his arms urging him to get up and continue the walk. He didn't know who it was, but he was sure that at some point he did know, anyways, he was really grateful that these hands were there each time he thought he wouldn't be able to keep going.
" He…He helped me." The silence that took place among the conscious Nobles was cut by one of them, Ruka.
None of them said a word, and her sentence kept hanging in the air for five minutes, each of them pondering what it meant.
"…I…wanted…to…hurt him, but he…" Ruka said again with a broken voice, she sounded so different, so guilty, surprised, and maybe afraid too. No one commented, all still waiting for her to finish her explanation.
"…I was supposed to…b-but…he pushed me away, and now he's…" Ruka choked out sounding guiltier and like she was about to cry.
Rima comforted her and whispered some reassuring words before everyone started moving silently again. They were getting closer to their destination.
-~~~LINE~~~-
Kaname's head shut up in total confusion and surprise when he felt the presence of the five vampires getting closer, what made him jerk though wasn't their presence, it was the smell of blood. Lots and lots of blood, it was definitely the Hunter's blood, he had smelled it before, and he couldn't mistake it for anyone else's, but this time the amount of blood was incredible, it was impossible that a drop was left inside the Hunter's body.
Kaname roared in anger, 'Ruka! What have you done!' now how the hell was he supposed to succeed, it's not that the Hunter was the main piece in his game, but he was a vital piece, a piece he couldn't replace, not easily. He can't wait centuries for another Twin hunters to be born! It was ridiculously absurd. Kaname chuckled slightly in disbelieve, everything was ridiculous, he had planned this for a long time, and then a simple rage from a "friend" would end it all?
The smell of blood got closer and finally the pureblood climbed his bedroom window before gracefully descending, deciding to welcome the vampires. He walked through the thick trees of the moon dorm's garden almost reaching the huge fence, which he knew the five Vampires would climb over soon. Kaname turned his head slightly backwards sensing the two cousins.
"I see you two have sensed it too, or should I say…smelled it?" The pureblood said coolly to the two figures that appeared behind him, Kain and Aido.
"K-Kaname-sama…" Aido started sounding worried " the smell of…of his blood is unbelievable…its too much…there's no way he's a live!"
"Oh he is, he better be…" Kaname muttered more to himself than to the blonde.
"Kaname-sama, may I ask what happened?" Kain requested his hands in his pocket with a serious tone in his voice.
"Our little Hunter had a mission" the pureblood answered casually " but apparently, due to some reasons, it didn't go well" he continued more firmly.
"A-and what about the rest, I don't feel their presence!" Aido hesitantly asked.
"I sent them after him." Kaname sighed turning his back to the Nobles, who understood that it meant no more questions are to be asked.
"They're going to arrive any minute now, Kain, I want you to let Chairman Cross that his son is badly injured. Aido, you know what you need to do."
"Yes Kaname-sama" the two vampires said in one voice before one storming back to the moon dorms, and the other to the outside.
