Setsumi walks towards the Moon Dorm, her head held high. She enters the building and walks to the roof. 'Yuuki!' She stared at her sister's prone form in shock. The man holding her licked Yuuki's neck. Setsumi growled and took her whip out.
"Let go of her!" the razor sharp chord covered in ice slashes the man on his arm.
"How dare you," the man snarled as he let go of Yuuki and turned to her. The man's unmatching eyes stared at her in surprise. "Setsumi."
"Rido Kuran," she replied. "You see, I am a guardian," she told the man. "And no matter what, I will protect this Academy, and not just the Day class students," she stood in front of her sister and the other vampires, her icy whip ready.
"I am here to protect the Night class students as well," Rido smirks at his daughter's spunk.
"So defiant, just like your mother," he muttered. Setsumi sneers then turned to Rido's followers.
"And as for the rest of you, step away from those students right now," she ordered. The lowly vampires quickly did as she said in fear.
"You seem to have a lot more pluck then she did though," Rido chuckled. "She was a lot more docile than you are. Indeed, the very first time I had a taste of her blood," Red whips shot out of the ground and wrapped themselves around her arms and legs. They lifted her into the air slightly.
"Let go of her!" Aidou shouted. Setsumi struggled in the hold, trying to get free. "This has gone far enough. I won't-" A red whip snaps Aidou in the face sending him flying. Rido steps up to his struggling daughter.
"Come on, cry out for help. It's alright," he whispered in her ear. "Your mother did it. So did Juuri."
"She begged for someone to save her when I first drank her blood. Muffled by her tears, she pleaded for Haruka to save her," Rido told her. "It was absolutely brilliant."
"You monster!" Setsumi shouted at him. Rido glares intensifies. A few more of the red whips wrap around her throat, baring her neck.
"Give it a try. Call out the name of the one you love," he said. 'The one I love?' Setsumi's eyes widen at the sound of gunfire. She turned her head to look over her shoulder.
"Zero!" she called as she stares at him.
"Get your filthy hands off of her right now," he ordered. Setsumi drops to the ground as the red whips recede from her.
"Zero," she makes to move towards him but stops at the power flowing of him.
"So dangerous," Setsumi glances at her father.
"You monster," Zero hisses out and raises his gun at him again. He groans and shouts in pain as his shoulder begins to grow.
"Zero?" Setsumi shouts in worry.
"What's wrong?" Souen asked.
"I don't think he has any idea how to control his power," Kain answered. Zero begins to scream as he lifts his enlarged arm into the air and slams it on the ground. Setsumi gasps in surprise as she's knocked to the ground. She looks up to see Kain on top of her.
"Zero!" she cries in alarm as his sobs of pain reaches her ears.
"This is what happens when a former human devors his twin," Rido said as he walked towards Zero. Setsumi pushes Kain off of her and follows after him.
"Rido," her father sends her annoyed glance.
"There is far more power in your human vessel than it is able to contain," he explained to Zero. "You can't master all that strength so quickly."
"Zero," she whispered as he slowly stood up.
"Setsumi," He grunts in pain.
"What are you-"
"Use your Khione and cut me," he told her. She stared at him with wide eyes.
"Are you out of your mind?" Aidou inquired.
"There isn't any other option right now. His power is out of control. It's the only way to stop it," Zero replied.
"But Zero, if I use the Khione whip on you, then-"
"Don't worry, Sumi. That isn't a weapon that can kill me," Setsumi gasps as tears filled her eyes. Zero gave her a tiny smile. "Remember our promise."
"Zero!" she rushes him and slashes him in the shoulder. Zero kneels down to the ground and grabs the Bloody Rose. It began to glow brightly in his hand. Rido begins to chuckle like a mad man.
"Interesting," he said. "Alright, fine. If you want to play, I'm game. Kill me as often as you want. And I will resurrect every time," Zero raises his gun and aims it at Rido.
"I choose to keep on living!"
