# CHAPTER 13
"Get away from me!" Zero growled ferally, aiming the Bloody Rose at himself. Now was perfectly a good time to end it all for himself – Shizuka Hio was long dead and dusted, he had killed his own brother by feeding off him, his relationship with Yuuki was over and done with. He owed nobody anything! Kaname Kuran's glorious pureblooded blood couldn't even save him from falling back to Level E! He was just so tired, he just wanted to sleep and never reawaken…
I just want to let go of everything…His amethyst eyes were glued on Seiran's face which was suppressing some emotions. It had to be fear and revulsion, he decided.
Seiran surely must hate me now. He's a hunter, whereas I, a monster hiding under the guise of a fucking vampire hunter. Look at him, just staring at me like the way…Yuuki looked at me when she found out about the beast in me. Full of pity for a pathetic person like me…
Seiran did not move. It's not your fault…Zero, don't you dare do anything stupid right now! Your look of self loathing…She kept her eyes on him and his Bloody Rose wearily. She knew what he wanted to do. She would have done it herself if not for Sensei Tamaji training her to be a hunter instead.
But she was waiting for the opportune moment…

"Aidou senpai!" gasped Yuuki, covering her mouth when Kain barged into Kaname's room with Aidou wrapped in his arms. Immediately Kaname motioned for him to be laid on the bed he and Yuuki shared.
Aidou's been hypnotized…"Kain, force his eyes open." The older Kuran placed his fingertips onto Aidou's forehead, locking his eyes into Aidou's unseeing ones as Kain's fingers pryed Aidou's eyelids apart.
Aidou blinked weakly and his head slumped to the side. "Kaname-sama, will he be alright?" demanded Kain, feeling as though he aged 500 human years. Hanabusa, I'll hunt down that bitch on your behalf!
"I've removed the hypnosis on him. His body is still unstable as he almost shut down all his bodily functions if not for you bringing him here in time. But he may be in a coma for awhile until his organs work again." Kaname removed the embedded Orchid Dart from Aidou's bloodied back. Hmm? Seiran's weapon?
Immediately Kain erupted. "She did it to him! She lured him out when he was dating Yori and then she hypnotized him! When I found him in this condition she ran away! Even Hanabusa said her name before he fainted! Kaname-sama, let me hunt her down and terminate her!"
"Eep!" squealed Yuuki as the velvet curtains caught fire. She ran to the fire extinguisher fixed on the wall and wrenched it off, spraying the windows and curtains with white foam.
"Control your emotions, Kain! I want you to find her and bring her to me, unharmed. I will question her. You will be present when it occurs." Kaname folded his arms, surveying the damage to Yuuki and his room. When all this is over, I need to teach Yuuki how to use her pureblood skills…Ever since the threat Rido Kuran had been killed, he decided to let Yuuki be mentally strong first after all the anguish she suffered and decided to let her be the same cute Yuuki she was. But now… I need a new room for us.
It wasn't that his powers couldn't fix the room to its normal condition, but he was rather displeased and Kain was really treading on the thin line of patience he had now.
Kain stormed out of the room, nearly slamming the door and causing cracks. Kaname's brow twitched. It's my room! Drat it, Kain! He wanted to make Kain's pathway cave in, at the moment but he didn't want Yuuki to see that not so sweet sight of him.

The minute Zero's grip on his Bloody Rose slacked a little, Seiran pounced onto him, wrenching the gun off his grasp. The trigger went off, a bullet slicing past Seiran's neck. Shit! She grunted at the sharp pain. Her grip on him weakened at the moment, as she tried to hold his body from shuddering more. Her blood was dripping on her shoulders and arms.
Oh God…the blood…I musn't…I must control myself… Zero was going delirious at the moment, seeing the red liquid trickle down Seiran's pale, creamy neck. I need…I need…He was too weak to fight back, after losing so much blood earlier. Seiran pulled her hair away, revealing more of her neck for him.
"Drink!" she ordered.
You're crazy! Zero shook his head. I'm not going to give in…No no no…He trashed at her, forcing her to completely pin him down and look into his fully crimsoned eyes. He stiffened at the sight of her icy gaze. Seiran lowered her head, giving him full access to her neck.
I must be mad to do this. If Sensei knew…Seiran closed her eyes, biting her lips slightly when Zero's fangs pierced her. She tasted her own coppery blood from her cut lips. Her heart was thudding in her chest as his lips applied slight pressure on that tender area. The feel of his lips and tongue on her neck… Oh my God, his ministrations… She felt Zero's Adam's apple bobbing up and down as he gulped down her blood in ecstasy, losing to his sinful need. And the warmth of his body pressed against hers…
I wonder…what it would be like to kiss Zero…? She felt herself flush and her fingers slowly removed her grip earlier. I can't be having such thoughts! It's wrong!
Bits of Zero's memories flashed in Seiran's mind. Toga losing an eye because of him and Ichiru…Being bitten by Shizuka Hio…Doing Prefect duty with Yuuki…Watching Yuuki agree to be Kaname's lover…Finding out Yuuki was actually a vampire, something Zero loathed…Ichiru forcing Zero to eat the last piece of life from him…Hating Yuuki because she was a pureblood and wanting to kill her.
So painful…Zero, you've suffered too much…
Zero's body shuddered against hers again and she forced herself to still remain calm.
But why was she able to see his painful secrets in her mind?
Neither one of them noticed her tattoo darkening for seconds before returning to its original colour.

'Master' pounded on the table in 'his' hideaway, seething in rage. The Princess had been here all along! To think 'he' wasted 16 bloody years on hunting for her around the world when she had been under 'his' nose all the time! Ancient vampire magic fused with hunter charms had been the barrier to his hunt.
Akiro and Tsukino thought that they could outsmart 'him' by tricking 'him' like that. They were the fools! Once 'he' obtained the third Princess' blood, 'he' was going to stage an upstart on all the purebloods around. Starting from the Kuran line…
'His' eyes glowered as 'he' made 'his' way to a very unwilling prisoner to satiate 'his' bloodlust. 'His' thoughts were busy strategizing on the next trap to spring.
*
What have I done? I gave in to my demonic needs! Zero, retaining his sanity, no, his rational, stared horrified at Seiran slumped in his arms. I…I didn't…kill him, did I? I…drank a lot… "Se-Seiran…?"
"Relax, I won't die that fast, if that's what you're worried about…Just a bit weak…I still have three to four litres of blood in me," quipped Seiran, slowly getting up from Zero but stumbling slightly. Her head was woozy. She clutched her head, getting her senses back in order.
"Why did you do it? I'm a parasite!" Zero's hands trembled as he recollected his bliss in taking her blood. It was so pure like ambrosia to his fuelling needs. It felt…purer than the male Kuran's blood…Sweeter than Yuuki's…It was just that moment he realized with deep dread…
If he ever lusted for blood…it wouldn't be Yuuki's any longer…
Lesson no. 14 : True friends are hard to find.
I hope you enjoyed the blood drinking scene (hopefully it was sensual enough...hehe). I'll be shifting to a new area this week so I'm not sure if I'm able to update the next chapter next week, but I'll do my best! See you all! :D
