Please Enjoy and Review!
Chapter 11: The Broken Belief
The dance was going well. As expected by everyone, everyone was having fun or eating…in Aidou's case trying to do both. To say that Kaname was surprised when Maria descended the stairs in a black short dress and walked directly toward HIS Zero whom elegantly offered his arm to her which she took gladly, was an understanding. He was completely shocked, he had never imagined that the person Zero said was taking to the dance was this girl…this pureblood, yes he knew who the girl was, but as long as she didn't interfered beforehand he was fine with it. But Zero was never added in that mix.
After that the only incident that occurred in the dance was small confrontation between Ichiru and Shizuka, which caused the silver-haired hunter to leave the room. He was probably thirsty already and Shizuka's presence wasn't helping, those pills wouldn't help him much longer.
After the incident between Ichiru and Maria had occurred Yuki had manage to get a better understanding on what's was going on, somehow Maria wasn't Maria…well her body was, but not her mind. After that she had keep close attention to Ichiru until he left that room, in where she turned her attention the small silver-haired vampire. She saw how around midnight Mari started to walk in her direction; she appeared relaxed as she sat next to her.
"So how is Ichiru doing? From your point of view." She asked.
"He normally looks fine, but a while back he started having difficulties with…the thirst." She replied quietly not really knowing why she replied.
"Hmm, so I've heard." She replied amused.
"Please you have to help him." Yuki found herself almost begging, but for Ichiru…for him….
"Why should I?" Shizuka asked. "What do I win from these?"
"We-well I…" Yuki couldn't find any coherent comment to say.
"You know…" Shizuka said casually a few minutes later. "Let's can make a deal: your blood, in exchange of the salvation your hunter friend." She said in a whisper next to Yuki´s ear. Yuki felt a shiver run down her back at the proposal, but she wanted to help Ichiru and this was the only way, so she merely nodded. A pleased Maria/Shizuka smiled, stood up and started walking towards the rooms motioning for her to follow.
"We shall not be disturbed in here." Maria said as she sat on a chair located in the left side of the room. Yuki followed her silently and waited. A few seconds later someone entered the door carrying the body of a beautiful silver haired woman and deposited her on the couch on the center of the room. Taking a better look at the man Yuki notice he was wearing a mask, but she didn't need to see his face to know who that person was, she only knew two guys who had silver hair but only one of them would serve a vampire willingly.
"Shizuka-sama, everything is ready for you to transfer the moment you wish too." He said sounding so much like Ichiru that she knew she would have confused them in another moment.
'Zero' She thought with a small frown but didn't comment. She wouldn't know what to say.
"Very well, you know what to do after wards." She said and received a nod in response. After that she closed her eyes and rested her back on the chair, a few moments later the head fell down to her chest and Yuki the sound of clothe moving from the center of the room. She turned around to see Shizuka pulling herself up from her laying down position to a sitting position before she looked at her and made a sing to her to make her come nearer.
"You are aware of the whole deal, correct?" Shizuka asked Yuki who nodded.
"You will give Ichiru your blood to stabilize him in exchange for my blood." Yuki said, remembering the agreement.
"And how will I take your blood?" Shizuka asked with a small, almost imperceptible smirk. Yuki gulped.
"By biting me." Yuki said, the nervousness taking over her body.
"Then why don't you come nearer and show me that pretty neck of yours?" Shizuka said and Yuki, slowly came nearer and nearer baring her neck. Suddenly the doors were forcefully open and Ichiru appeared on the door. He pointed his gun at Shizuka and shot but before the bullet could reach half of the way it was deviated by Zero who stepped almost on front of the bullet and hit it with his sword changing its direction far from Shizuka.
"You!" Ichiru muttered through clenched teeth. Zero merely smiled. Ichiru lunged at Zeroready too shot only to have him successfully blocking or dodging all of his bullets. It soon turned into a full battle between the Kyriu twins that they almost didn't notice when Shizuka stood up and headed to the door completely forgetting Yuki.
Ichiru once again tried to attack her before she left the room but was stopped by Zero starting the fight once again. Yuki observed the fight, her body was frozen, she couldn't move. She was so worried by the outcome of this fight that she couldn't tear her eyes away nor move any muscle. She was as Zeor and Ichiru fought against each other, Ichiru using the Bloody Rose and zero using a sword.
Suddenly Zero's head snapped to the side of the door. He could feel it. He could feel her. She was in danger... Kaname was putting her in danger and he couldn't allow that. He would never let anyone hurt her, even if it meant going against Kaname he would do it. She had saved him, from himself, from his family, from everyone else and had given him everything he could ever need. She had given him a place to stay, the time to heal, the family he dreamed for. Even if it meant to give up his life for her, as long as she was alive and happy…
And now the time had come, he had to protect her at any price. Without thinking he forgot about his brother and ran out of the room, who looked surprised at the sudden changed in zero before he too ran out of the room to follow him. Yuki stood still in the room unsure of what to do, just a few moments later she decided to run out of the room to look for the disappeared twins. She never noticed that as she left the room another figure appeared and took Maria's body before disappearing.
Kaname watched Shizuka silently as she gazed out of the window to the forest. Giving her back to him, almost ignoring him, except when she talked to him. She didn't look at him, she didn't move, she didn't threaten him, she didn't replied to his questions unless she wanted too. She seems harmless, but he knew better. This woman was anything but harmless. She was dangerous, very dangerous, but so was him.
She was a threat to him, to Zero. She had to disappear. He wouldn't let her interfere anymore. He wasn't sure what she had done to Zero, aside from killing his family, but that didn't seem to affect Zero so much. But he would be damned if he let her take Zero away from him again, even if it meant killing her.
Without to many thought he raised his arm and lunged at her aiming for her heart and didn't stop until he felt his arm sink on her skin…or so he thought. Kaname watched wide eyes as in between him at Shizuka Zero had appeared and his arm had not reached Shizuka, no, it had reached Zero, who now had his arm incrusted on the right side of his chest, one of his eyes closed and his body trembling from the pain.
He removed his eyes from zero to look at Shizuka, who looked at Zero with eyes as wide with shock as his, he couldn't even see a glint of…fear? But suddenly her eyes changed as she reacted, she took a hold on his arm and pulls it out, placing her hand in where his arm had been sank minutes before as he watched, shocked, unmoving at the scene in front of him.
"Zero…Zero?" she called the platinum haired teen who was now panting and leaning on her. She hated seeing Zero like this, so weak so helpless. She hadn't seen him like this since the day when they meet and he was merely a child crying on the shadow of that Sakura tree. She couldn't lose him now, not her baby, not her Zero. Tightening her hold on him she disappeared leaving a shocked Kaname behind.
Kaname remained paralyzed, shocked, eyes wide staring at the place where Shizuka and Zero had been just a seconds prior. He didn't react even after Shizuka had disappeared with an injured Zero. Kaname didn't know what to be more shocked at, at the fact that Zero had appeared of nowhere and had intervened with his attack, by taking it with his own body to protect Shizuka. Or that Zero…that Zero's blood….
Smelled like that of a pureblood.
Finally here is chapter 11. Im very happy on how this chapter ended up with, I hope you agree with me, as you noticed in the end, there is a major twist to the story…I wonder if people expected it or not xD. You may also notice that the scenes are not exactly like in the anime, well its king of irrelevant here I just acted it out similar to what I remember of the anime, it's been a while since I watched the whole series. Anyway with anything left to say:
Thanks for reading and reviewing!
Seeya next chapter!
