Alas, another chapter for my dear readers. Have any of you read any of the latest chapters of the real Vampire Knight? I heard there might be another season of the anime, hopefully.

Enjoy. Sorry this is late.

Chapter 26

Rebirth

~Reincarnation only exists for human souls, I my dear am not. ~

* Kaname *

The body before me wasted away, I watched as the remains of Shizuka Hio disappear. All according to plan.

The bitch was finally dead. What she wanted was utter domination of the human world. By capturing me in her grasps then she would control the world. She had someone learned of my properties in the East India Company.

Those humans would eventually waylay for a path to destruction, little did they know that their work would eventually corrupt them. The native people would eventually arise against them, if they kept trying to assimilate with the people.

It was time for me to retreat, and I knew just the place. Not everyone would expect a noble and grand duke, such as I, to leave the lovely homeland of Great Britain.

This move I would make would disrupt the whole chessboard, knocking over each and every one of my pawns.

Tonight my dear princess would be dead.

Or so they thought.

Now, I wonder what the Purebloods would do.

~ Yuki ~

I could only watch as my body transcended through time. But this time was different, as if I was behind some fogged up looking glass. No matter how hard I tried I could not get close up and actually react as I used to. I could see a version of me, almost like a twin dance happily with each of the Kiryuu twins.

Then I noticed the look within what seemed to be my eyes. Instead of their normal dark chocolate brown, they were tinged an odd maroon color.

A red color like that could only mean one thing.

Vampire.

"What would you like to do today?" The other version of me asked, kissing Ichiru on the forehead, while holding Zero's smaller hand in the other hand.

"Go inside, Master Yagari noticed the dealings of nearby vampires. He told us to be careful when playing in the garden today." Ichiru answered informatively.

"Really?" My vampire-self asked the child sweetly.

"Don't worry we'll protect you." Zero vowed holding up what seemed to be a small child version of a vampire weapon.

It was hard to imagine a cute, adorable Zero ever asking someone this question.

"You promise?" the vampire doppelganger asked sincerely.

"Yes." Both Ichiru and Zero answered.

Looking up I could see thunder clouds above us, a storm was brewing. I could almost sense the ghostly winds picking up speed. Yet somehow I didn't feel a thing, it was like I was under some shield.

"Let's hurry." My voice came out of the twin's body and urged the children out of the brushes, flowers and trees.

I tried to follow them but something held me back rooted to that spot. As if something didn't want me to watch over the children in the first place.

The next second I felt it, a disturbance in the atmosphere. I could almost feel the lightning cackle behind me.

Turning around I sense a great feeling of dread and horror, something quite dangerous. There within the shadows of the dark oak tree was a vampiress. One with silver hair long and silky, almost caressing the ground. She was clothed in the finest looking silks of what looked like China or was it Japan?

Her eyes were blood red, almost as if she were possessed by a demon.

A child's giggle was heard nearby, I froze permanently. The vampiress's eyes widened then grew smaller. A scary looking smirk crossed her face.

Suddenly I realized what was going to happen.

She was going to kill the children.

+ Zero +

I held her warm supple body close to mine, just to hear her faint steady heartbeat. Blood leaked down her mouth, I couldn't resist dabbed at it gently with my finger.

Only to realize in rage that the vampire in me only wanted another little taste of her blood.

Just one more little drop…

Suddenly her heart froze, causing me to stop breathing all together.

Seconds ticked by, still I waited until the tenth second when her body finally moved again under my hands.

For a few seconds I feared that she wouldn't die but turn into a vampire all together.

^ Yagari ^

Dust.

More specifically vampire dust.

A Hunter had to have been nearby. No one else knew who to kill them besides vampires themselves.

But why would they kill a vampire at a party for humans? It just didn't add up.

Looking up I stared at the moon, noticing the light as it cast shadows in the garden. There in front of me lay a drop of blood. I dipped my finger in it to sniff it.

My hunch was correct, it was human.

"Well, well, what do we have here?" a familiar voice spoke from behind.

I knew that voice from since I was a child.

"What are you doing here, Headmaster Cross?" The man smirked, of course he would know what exactly was going on.

~ Yuki ~

I heard the screams before I saw what would happen.

"Get away from them, you, you- you monster!" a voice cried out, it must have been that of a maid.

"She's no monster, you are!" a little boy's voice answered.

"How did a demon get onto the property, there were spells set up?" another voice asked.

Somewhere a dog barked, there was a rush of angry servants yelling and shouting.

"I'll protect you, Lady Yuki." another little boy answered trying to be brave.

That second I felt the barrier break away, and suddenly I was in the garden holding my hand was none other than Ichiru. Zero only held onto the edges of my skirt.

What had happened?

Then I remember the vampiress with the silk dresses. She was no dream or premonition.

That's when I heard it, a woman's sweet voice fill the air above the noise of the angry servants.

It was too late. We were doomed.

…

I awoke to pain; blood seemed to cover my body. Sitting up I looked around.

This house, this garden, this place. I was still in the past.

"How nice of you to wake up Miss Pureblood vampire, but what are you doing here?" this voice was familiar but I knew I never heard it before.

"Wha-?" I tried to touch my head only to feel the wound there.

But what did the voice mean by that, surely I was no vampire.

"You should not be here!" the voice hissed, I felt pressure against my leg. I heard the snap before I felt it. I screamed.

"Who are you?" I spat, blood came out along with saliva. Then I saw her, the evil woman from before in the corner of my vision.

"You don't need to know, Miss Vampire, because in a matter of seconds you will be dead." The voice replied. That's when I realized something important.

"What did you do to the children?" I fought for consciousness; my blood loss was great every second I grew even weaker.

"Don't worry they are in a safe place." She gestured behind her; I fought to see the dead corpses laying there.

"Zero! Ichiru! What did you do to them?" I pushed against the darkness trying to control my mind.

"Only what they deserve." A sword came out of nowhere and suddenly I felt it hit my heart.

I was dead.

+ Zero +

Her eyelids flutter for a second before she turned to look at me.

"Zero?" her voice sounded weary and weak.

"Yuki, are you okay?" I asked caressing her bleeding body.

"I thought, I lost you. Please stay with me." She whimpered in her delirium.

"Yuki, I-I, I'm sor-" I was about to apologize when she cut me off, with her own lips covering my own.

Something I thought would never happen, shouldn't happen between a lady and her bodyguard.

"Don't worry Zero, I love you…" with those mere words it became my undoing.

I couldn't help but take her there, bare, bleeding on the soft parts of the grass. Her white silky body still held scars of her other misfortunes.

The next chapter will be the last one of this series.

But the continuation will be coming soon and it will be called Maid For You. Yuki will become a vampire, Kaname's evil idea will come out, Ichiru's body will be found, Zero will return. But no one will expect what's coming next. Yuki, Yuki, a maid's work is never done.
