Chapter 25

Zero and I stared at each other for some time now. He slowly lowered the gun watching my movements. I made no hesitation but to step forward.

"Zero," I called his name standing in front of him, "...Zero..."

I was reaching my hand to him ready to touch his cheek.

"What a welcome..."

My hand stop in thin air as I turn to see Kaname. He looked at us having Zero's thorny viens around his arm and hand. I looked at him with wide eyes as my eyes saw someone that made me completely lose myself.

"Yuuki-onee-sama!" I shouted running pass Zero looking down at Yuuki.

She was in Kaname's arms sleeping. I immediately felt regret and guilty in my heart as I put my arms around Yuuki. My legs gave way as I looked down at Yuuki.

"Onee-sama...I'm sorry..." I put my arms around her to see her not waking up at all.

Her heart was beating fast but she made no effort to open her eyes.

"Wake up. Please, wake up-"

"I've made up my mind," Zero cut me off. I turned to look at him seeing his eyes were on me, "I decided to exterminate all the pure bloods... Kuran... you're... next..."

"I must thank you for having severed those troublesome fetters... but I can't possibly forgive your existence any longer..." Kaname declared angrily, "...Because you have dared... to point that gun at her...!"

It was like a flash, something you never could have seen happen. All I saw was Kaname losing his hand and Zero's arm and cheek was bleeding. I looked at them with wide eyes but then I felt shifting from Yuuki. I looked down at her to see her squinting her eyes. I tighten my hold on her as I loosen it to let her lay on the ground. I stand up to stay in front of her gripping on Hope that suddenly...had another blade at the end of it.

"Even if... you had done so without real intent to kill her, I couldn't forgive such a thing..." Kaname declares, "Bloody Rose... If you have awakened that much, you must recognize my voice? ...As well as the taste of my blood..." I saw Zero's eyes widen as Bloody Rose has become different, "...Would you kindly take down those vines restraining me...?" Kaname turned his eyes to look at me. "There is someone I want to protect."

My eyes widen as I saw the viens going back to Zero. Zero looked at Kaname narrowing his eyes and confused.

"What...did you do?" Zero asked irritated.

Kaname's bloody hand suddenly turned into three scythe, "Thank you, Bloody Rose."

"Bloody Rose...! Don't forget who is the enemy," Zero called glaring at Kaname.

I didn't hesitate as I swung Hope hitting Kaname's three blade in half, and Zero's Bloody Rose getting cut.

"That is enough!" I glared at both of them.

"Victoria...!" Kaname shouted my name. "Victoria, you must step aside. He pointed at you a weapon that could kill even you... Even if it had been for a second, I couldn't possibly forgive that man after that. I won't forgive him... Even if for five hundred years, or even a thousand years, you were to hate me afterwards, I-"

"But you won't do it," I cut him off to see his eyes calm down. I shorten Hope to touch Kaname's bleeding hand licking the blood, "I don't want you to say... such sad words..." I looked up at him, "I'll make sure you won't have to say anything like that again."

Kaname used his other to touch my hair making me let go of his injured hand. He step back to walk over to Yuuki's sleeping form.

"...As you please... The two of you may take your time saying your farewell..." I looked at his back to see him pick up at Kaname. I touched my lips to taste blood that taste so good. "...Besides, you are already well aware...of the one and only...place where you must be, Victoria."

I watch Kaname walk off with Yuuki in his arms knowing my answer perfectly. I sighed to turn and look at Zero. I saw Zero crouch down hurt. I walked over to him calmly touching the vines.

"Bloody Rose...please stop..." On command, I didn't felt or see Bloody Rose drinking his blood anymore, "Release him." I command once again. Bloody Rose did exactly that showing Zero's arm and Bloody Rose falling on the floor.

I sit down looking at his glare to flick his forehead. He touched his forehead glaring even more at me.

"Well, you're okay, then..." I stand up feeling my heart in pain once again.

He's going to exterminate me too...

"If you're okay, then...that's good-"

I was cut off by Zero suddenly pulling my wrist to hit his chest and his other arm around my waist. The hand that was on my wrist put his arm around me. Without thinking or hesitation, I put my arms around him feeling my heart beat fast.

"The Yuuki I know... is she inside you?" Zero asked making me smirk.

"Idiot...she's never gone. Pureblood or not, I am me." Zero looked down at my eyes for his eyes to widen.

In Zero's eyes, seeing her smirk like that. He saw the human Victoria that was standing next to her having that same look. He couldn't help but smirk feeling relief in his heart.

"Zero..." I start talking, "My memories has come in. I know who I am at last," I started chuckling. "A Kuran, Zero. I'm a Kuran, can you believe that?" He tighten his hold on me, "I realized... that I can't go back to the person I was anymore. I desire Onii-sama's blood desperately...and..."

Zero leaned down towards me having his face at the crook of my neck, "Victoria, I...I only desired your blood, Victoria... I want it so much that it's unbearable... to the point that unless I drank from you until the very limits of your life, I wouldn't be satisfied... such a disgusting, gluttonous greed... That is... the type of creature I am, isn't it...?"

Zero closed his eyes biting into my neck making me close my eyes and shudder. I put my hand in his hair.

"Zero... every vampire is like that... if they..." My eyes widen as I looked at him, "Zero..."

How can I have been such an idiot?

A few of my blood drop to the floor and Zero released his fangs from my neck. I looked at him feeling guilty as my own heart beats as I finally realized...

"Zero, I...I-"

Zero cut me off by putting his lips on mine. I can taste my own blood from his lips. I couldn't help but close my eyes feeling his lips. He released my lips to make me look at him. He looked down at me putting his hand on my head and around my waist.

"...I want to ask you one last question. Now that you regained your memories... Are you rid of all your worries and fears...?" Zero asked.

"Worried and fears, huh? No matter what, their will always be worried and fears for me. I will have them no matter what." I looked at Zero to pull him to my lips again.

His eyes widen looking at me. I released his lips one more time as I looked at him sadly.

"I'm such an idiot. I can't believe that I didn't realize my own feelings. I..." I looked down stepping back. "I... also love you." Zero's eyes were wide as he took a step forward but I stepped back, "Don't..." Zero step to look at me. "I've hurt you more than enough. I can't let the second most important person to me get hurt anymore."

I faced my back on him for his feet to become soft on the ground and having his arms around me, "Then go be with him," I looked down hearing his voice to my ears. "But... I will find you." My eyes widen, "I've find you no matter what."

"I'll keep running..." I replied making his eyes tighten around me.

"Then, you... one more..." My eyes widen as I looked at him to see his eyes were serious. "I want to see her one more time..."

Zero let me go as I faced him breathing deep. I faced him having a calm expression on my face having my hand on my hip, and smirking like a devil.

"Zero. Don't slack off when I'm gone, got it? If you do, then I'm going to beat you until you get your head straight, baka." I spoke calmly like my old self.

In some ways, I really did miss my old self. The calm, devilish, and serious me that was human. I looked at him that was still me.

"Find me Zero," Zero's eyes were wide, "I'll keep running from the hunter. Find me." Zero smirk nodding his head as I faced my back on him waving to him, "See you soon, hunter-san."

"See you soon, Kuran Princess," Zero called.

I smirked as I walked away from Zero having this little game of ours. As soon as I was in the forest and felt his presence gone. My hand was to my side as I looked down. I had my hand in a fist hitting the tree trunk. I felt something wet going down my cheek as more and more was coming down.

"You better find me, you idiot," I put my hand on my chest feeling it tighten as I knell down to the ground. "I don't want to run from you. But... Find me, Zero. Find me."

I touched my lips feeling the warmth of his lips as I couldn't help my heart beat. Then, Kaname suddenly came into mind as his lips were on mine as well.

I can't believe... I fell in love... with two people... How greedy can I be?

"Victoria-chan..."

"Victoria..."

I looked up to see Mimi and Karou looking down at me smiling.

I hurt Zero so many times... In ways, I feel like I deserve this... For being so oblivious towards his feelings... For hurting him this far...

I stand up having the tears dry up and the tightening of my heart gone.

This is my punish... I will not change on who I am anymore... I will keep fighting this...

I looked at Mimi and Karou smiling at them, "We better get packing," I said walking pass them.

I smirked looking at the building ahead of me to where Yuuki and Kaname is.

That's right... The vampire will run away from the hunter... I... I will run and he will find me...

I entered the building to see Yuuki looking at pictures smiling at me. I couldn't help but smile back at her. She had my coat in her hands to allow me to hang on to it. I grabbed the coat to put it around me looking at the picture. She was looking at the picture with Zero, her, and I on our first day of high school.

"He...He confess his feelings to me... sorta..." I spoke up facing my back on her.

"It was about time." Yuuki suddenly said making me look at her shock.

"Huh?" I titled my head looking at her calmly but also mad.

"I knew he was in love with you for a while now." Yuuki replied bluntly making me look at her pissed.

"And you didn't tell me because..." I walked over to her looking piss.

"I wanted you to figure it out yourself," Yuuki replied smiling calmly.

"Why you...!" She smiled holding out the present that Kaname gave me.

My eyes widen as I took that away from her. She smirked looking at me blushing.

"Victoria is blushing." Yuuki stated making me hit her head, "Ouch."

I hmph walking out the room gripping on the present to walk out of the building. I walked out to see Kaname's back, Yagari-sensei, and other vampires.

"I spent all these years investigating what happened to make the two active duty Kiryuu Hunters end up... killed by a Pure blood..." Yagari explains, "And when I found out that there were corrupted liaisons between the high hierarchy of the hunter association and the vampire council, I was finally certain... that what happened four years ago was no a pure blood losing their mind as it was said... and that there was someone... in the shadows, corrupting the relations between the council and the association,"

"That man was after my little sister's youthful and thick blood... but Zero has already care of him for us..." Kaname spoke up. "He was a man that was under the council's surveillance... and who had, in the past... been banished from our family tree..."

"Kaname-sama..." Ruka called him.

"It's okay now... Ruka, everybody." Kaname reassures them, "Because the council of elders... no longer exists."

Yagari turned to look at him as I stand behind him. I put my arms around him closing my eyes.

"Onii-sama, good job. ...Thank you... for still remembering the promsie you made us..." I spoke softly opening my eyes to look at him.

"...Well... the council was sure hateful, but..." Yagari point his gun at Kaname, "...Even if those were mostly just appearance of public order, the council was still the institution keeping things from turning into chaos. Without them, unnecessary conflicts will arise one after the other other from now on. And it's all your fault, you-"

I let go of Kaname to stand in front of Kaname narrowing my eyes at him. Yagari's eyes were wide as he lowered his gun.

"What...?"

Kaname put his hand on my shoulder having his arm wrapped around me.

"I did it so that the precious future ahead wouldn't be destroyed and lost... and it would otherwise have been, eaten away by their greedy hunger," Kaname explain looking at Yagari. "I do intend to take responsibility for my acts. I worked hard for this moment to come..."

"Responsibility... what..." Yagari questioned.

"Let's go, Victoria, Yuuki..." Kaname says looking at Karou and Mimi. They nodded their heads having Kaname put his hand on Yuuki's to pull to his side, "We can no longer remain here... Thank you, everybody..." Kaname looks at everybody one more time then we disappear.

We walked down stairs as I watch Kaname's and Yuuki's back.

"I'll find you."

My eyes turned to look outside the window to see Zero holding Ichiru in his arms. He looked at me for me to look away from him.

"Oi! Idiot Kuran Princess!"

I stop to feel Kaname's and Yuuki's eyes on me as I looked out of the window irritated.

"What is it?! Idiot Hunter!" I shouted back at him.

"I'll find you!" My eyes widen and so did Yuuki's, "I'll find you no matter what!"

I smirked looking down at him, "I'll keep running away! No matter what!"

Zero smirked back walking away with Ichiru in his arms. I looked at Kaname to see him staring back at me. I noticed the jealous in his eyes as I hit his shoulder trying to make him stop having that expression.

"I decided to stay here in this world by the way." I spoke up making Yuuki and Kaname look at me with wide eyes. I turn to look at them smirking, "This is where I belong. This is home."

Yuuki smiled running down to me having her arm around my shoulders walking down.

"Hey, Onee-sama! Don't pull me, baka! Ouch! That hurts! Onee-sama!" I complained.

I'm staying in this world with everyone. This is my home and this is where I belong. Sorry, mom, dad, Sarah. Please forgive me. I'll miss you, but... I can't leave them.

Hey guys! Sorry about this really short chapter.

I just wanted make things clear that Victoria have feelings for Zero, and that if I didn't make it like it was now. Then the adventure she would be having will be pointless. I want to continue the manga but in a whole new completely way.

Also, there are extra's in the manga that I'm not sure if you want me to add or some memories that I can add as well. Well, it will be a lot of work and I just want to see if you guys want me to.

If you guys have any other questions then please PM about the next few chapter that is coming up soon.

I'll answer them as the chapters go on.

Please review.
