I'm warping this part of the series to fit my story. Let's just go with it, yeah?
Disclaimer: you already know what goes here

Aya sat in Chairman Cross' office, gently cradling her left arm in her right. Her shoulder had been bandaged, the bullet removed, and she was on her way to recovery…which she learned would be a quick one, as she was a vampire.
Still, this gave her far too much time to think. Chairman Cross had been chattering to her for the past half hour, but she had heard none of it. The moment his ramblings paused, she spoke up.
"Zero…he'll fall to Level E soon, won't he…?"
Kaien looked up at her from his paperwork, his expression suddenly serious.
"Yes…" He began slowly, but Aya cut him off.
"Is there a way to save him?" Silence filled the room. Everyone else was in bed, but the two of them had stayed up. Truthfully, Aya was exhausted, but the question had been burning in the back of her mind for weeks now.
Kaien cleared his throat and sat back with a frown. "Yes, there is a way to save him." Surprised, Aya stood, walking quickly to stand before him. "There is? How?"
"If Zero were to drink the blood of the one who turned him into a vampire, he would never fall to Level E. It would stabilize him." She heard the hesitance in his voice.
"Shizuka Hio… she is the one whose blood Zero needs. But Aya…"
But she never heard what he had to say, as she was already gone.
