Chapter 2: The Cubs

Present

"Yuuki.. he breathed. The slip of a brunette stood as tall as she can. Arms pulling the chocolate haired prince down her slips took his and then...

"Ahh! thud, the tree thrummed with the resonate beating fist slamming in harder with each hit. He didn't know who hurt him worse. "That bitch!"

He sighed in deep, his chest pushed out then depressed as he let his head rest on the bruising timber. He smiled sadly. " But he kissed her too... " He grabbed his head, hair tight in his fist, looking up the day was about to go. The sky was lit a glow orange fading into that purple clouds passing easily through. Another heavy sigh and he began walking again. The way into town was empty, not a car in sight. He had meant to patrol but Cross Academy was too suffocating. He hadn't even noticed he'd left campus until the tight coil in his chest loosened just enough for him to breath again. The thick woods continued on the town and the Academy were cut out of the valley, the mountain tops were hazy and almost out of view. Tonight was sure to be foggy, he rubbed his hands together, but the friction was only a brief answer to the cold.

Crack!

Eagle eyes scouted the area, empty from first glance, but revealed now, a small thin arm receding into the bush.

He stalked silently, moving aside the foliage, the arm had already moved away and now he saw a socked foot. He reached out and snatched it, raising a girl with short black hair that fanned out towards the ground. She gave a mewling yelp and twisted around in a three-sixty, thrashing about in the air as the hunter held her high until feeling a slap of..something to the side of his head, he released the golden eyed child. Gaping as she fleeted away on all fours, ducking under bushes and branches like a forest animal, a fox he thought. He followed admittedly a bit more clumsy but still with all the grace and speed of a hunter or vampire could possess,.

Eyes trained on the glimpses he could get of the girl. Finally they burst into a clearing. She was still running; now on two swift feet.

"Wait! Come back!" he kept chase "I won't hurt you!"

She was following the little creek up stream, that's when he notice a boy about her age with short shaggy green hair and tan skin. He was just laying with his legs in the water letting the current carry them, his body holding him down on the bank. The hunter got closer and closer, watching the little kit skip across the water like a skipping stone towards the boy. She then was kneeling down next to him when he looked to his face, the boy's features were calm for few seconds as he regarded the hunter with a cool gaze until the boy's eyes widened, an alertness stiffened his posture and he rose from the creek crouching down. An arm around the girls shoulders, she turned to him, going rigid herself before turning to stare across the water. The boy was starring right through him,he felt an uncomfortable tingle, like a flash of lightning. He knew, the boy was looking through him and at the beast behind him. The silver haired prefect turned, pulling Bloody Rose from his jacket, chain hanging down between the two as he aimed at the creature before him.

A man, now a monster stood before the hunter, fangs bared as he snarled,blood dribbling down from his own cut and bitten lips, his tongue gnawed and thick with from saturated blood that was oozing out of his mouth as he licked those torn up lips spreading more blood around his mouth.

"Lookie, lookie what I has found! Ha ha!" his insane laughter rang out. "A little hunter and a couple ah' blood packs." Crimson eyes narrowed and all three parties frowned in silent anger.

Resolutely he aimed and fired, the first round scathed him, enraging the looney beast. Enraged it charged. Another shot slowing him down in the leg as the silverette ran to the Level E. With only two feet apart he jumped slamming his fist and gun into the side of its head, another shot rang out.

This time straight through the E's head, turning it to ash, spraying the ground and his white pristine uniform. He lowered his gun only slightly searching with his senses for any others.

'Two more?'

It felt like it, he raised his gun eyes still closed and listening to his right, firing right into the approaching Level E's chest, turning him to ash. The other one was...with the children! His eyes flew open, the beast was already poised to attack. The kids stood defensively next to each other. He shot at the level E only interrupting her attack, she fell off to the side, rounding on the children once again, none of the three let there eyes wonder from her. The hunter ran toward them jumping the creek in one long leap, landing in it in a splash just barely in the water. He charged the beast slamming his shoulder into its side, she scratched out ripping his jacket whilst blinding his view for a second before she stumbled away from him, as he was thrown on his back, head in the water. The silver haired hunter sputtered, spitting out muddy water, arms out instinctively holding the surprised level E at bay and away from his throat. It thrashed in his hold,claws swiping out as Zero struggled to stand.

"Gahh!" He yelled in pain when he felt the level E bite into his side, blood sloshed out from the beast mouth as he pulled her from his now bleeding side falling on to her face. Bloody Rose held out, eyes squinted trying to see through the veil of blood covering his face.

Three shots rang out. A gust of wind and ash hit his face. Sitting up he looked around wiping his blood from his face to see clearly, eyes searching for the two kids and the other level E. Relief flooded him when he saw the pile of ash next to the bruised and battered but not bitten children.

"Hey," his voice cracked horribly but he kept on. "you two okay?" They gave a slight nod in acknowledgment. He gripped his side the adrenaline finally receding letting the pain flow in. He gritted his teeth as he stood his free arm reached out towards them."Will you come with me to make sure?"

Two pairs of eyes, one golden and the other crimson he realized, though unlike a vampire's crimson eyes in blood lust, regarded him with extreme scrutiny and suspicion that made him want to fidget but he refused to squirm under their piercing gaze. Slowly they nodded taking careful and slow steps towards him. The dark haired girl was the first to take his open hand, resting her smaller one in his. The boy came around laying his hand over the one holding the bleeding gash closed, slowly with his other hand he removed Zero's replacing it with his own. Somehow the two managed to maneuver him between there bodies taking pressure off his wounded side. The three meandered there way through the woods, with surprising grace for their condition until the Academy's gleaming gates came into view. Zero pushed it open with one hand, the ever bright girl beside him seemed to almost skip, as the prefects weight shifted more so on the boy, with her in the lead somehow. Zero guided them to the infirmary his side no longer bleeding but still aching painfully with his pulse as he breathed. The daylight had long since left as he flicked on the lights. They glowed dimly flickering then brightly encasing the room in a buzzing glow.

"Go ahead and sit down." he gestured to the row of beds, four in that were visible.

They sat together on one as Zero went to the cabinet reaching up he pulled a first aid kit out wincing as his wound throbbed with pain. Shedding his jacket and torn bloody shirt, they were ruined, but it wouldn't be the first pair, and definitely not the last. Zero cleaned his wound then wrapped the gash tight in gauze and bandages. Finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, he focused back on the children, only now fully taking in there state. The first being the tattered rags that hung from the beaten frame of the green haired boy, neither child could be older than 8 he thought as he trailed his eyes down the green haired child's body, his eyes widening in at what he saw. 'The boy is barefoot!'

Picking up his foot, Zero paid no heed to caution as he inspected the boy's feet ignoring the squawk of surprise from the boy and the giggling from the girl. First he inspected the left foot, then the right, neither had scratches and didn't seem injured at all. He let them drop to dangle down towards the floor below. Then the silverette turned his sights on the girl he first met. Her hair was messy but untangled, shirt worn out and ripped at the binds, it had seem the jeans weren't much better either, no blood was visible from her either. Some scratches and a couple of bruises, that had to hurt, but like the boy she was fine. Zero turned back to the medical kit removing a jar of solvent twisting the lid off and dipping his fingers in.

"This is to help heal your bruises and scratches." He said gently then proceeded to rub the light green goop over there faces, arms, and legs. His lilac eyes ever warm, regarded the two children as the sticky solve began to set in and disappear from sight. "Would you rather I do your backs and chests or would you rather do it yourselves?"

"We can do it!" The ebony haired one chirped out, a smile spreading across her face as she raised her hand enthusiastically.

"Alright." he chuckled a bit giving the jar over to her.

The girl lifted the boys shirt and taking a great big handful of solvent, slung the cold goo on his back rubbing it in with vigor, the boy merely blinked, used to the treatment and her actions, he then held his hand out, the girl pouted but relinquished the jar over to him. He took a generous handful,rubbing it between his palms. The raven haired child threw her shirt off to the floor as he rubbed her down until she had a fine shine of solve covering her.

"So what are your names?" Zero asked watching the boy slide from the bed to retrieving her shirt folding it over his arm.

"I'm Simone'!"The raven her girl pointed to herself then the greened haired boy. "and this is Fin!"

Zero smiled at them."Well Simone' and Fin, I'm Zero."

"I like your name Zero-chan, it's pretty" Simone stated smiling happily.

"I think so too, Simone', though your names are interesting as well." He smiled gently, eyes warm while watching them.

Simone' grinned and proudly said, "Yeah, our mamas made'em up especially for us!"

Zero tilted his head, curiosity and worry clouding his eyes. "So where are your mothers now?" He hoped he'd be able reunite the little families back together soon, after all their mothers must be frantic with kids as young as-

Her smile became small and sad. "They're gone..." She smiled when Fin wrap her hand in his squeezing in comfort.

He blinked dumbly for a second then realized what she must of meant. "I'm sorry, that must have been really hard for you two."

Simone' gave a reassuring smile. "It's okay, we have each other and...hahhh," she yawned mouth opened wide while rubbing at the sleepiness in her eyes with a cute little fist as she leaned against Fin.

Zero chuckled and he stood up. "Alright, I think it's about bedtime for you too."

Simone' blinked sleepy golden eyes at him. "We're not tired Ze-chan."

Zero smiled. "Well I'm sure after you lay down for a while, you'll be singing a different tune."

"Singing?"She inquired with a curious happiness in a sleepy tone.

"Figure of speech Simi-chan." Fin said amused, speaking for the first time.

"Oh," she said drowsily curling up beside her 'brother'.

Fin was trying to pull her up, with her shirt in one hand, going for her head, every time he got it up though she was down holding on to the fluff that was the mattress with invisible claws.

Zero lifted her of with ease, holding his hand out expectantly for the shirt."How 'bout we get you dressed first?" he joked.

"Okay," she nodded. "sounds good." she finished in a mumble.

Arms up and a quick arm movement later, a lavender long sleeve shirt was on her, the sleeves longer than her hands. Simone' hung by his neck, nuzzling the warm crevice between it and his shoulder, arms refusing to let go but Zero managed to pry them off gently. Laying her down, head on the pillow. He watched with a fond smile as she rubbed her cheek along the fine fabric of the pillow case until she got comfortable enough to curl back up, going to sleep mumbling 'thank you'.

He turned his attention back to the ever silent Fin."Come on, we have another bed over here," he took Fin's hand before he could do anything taking him to the bed beside his sister's. Fin laid down with no argument, crimson eyes watching Zero warily and steadily until they began to drooped close, he blinked them open and blinked again until they fell closed, finally asleep. The last thing he saw was Zero's fond smile.

Zero pulled the covers over both children then he sighed audibly, watching the two sleeping kids, trying to figure out what had just happened, what to do next and mostly how to explain this to the headmaster.

Slam!

The door swooshed open banging on the wall loudly.

Zero stood in an instant. "Shhh," Marching over to the rude intruder, "can't you see they're sleeping!" He hissed quietly and angrily. He felt his anger rising at the sight of the pureblood remembering instantly what happen between the prince and Yuuki.

"Who's asleep?" The chocolate haired male gave the room a once over, excusing the blobs in the beds from a second thought to instead surveying Zero closely. "What happened to you?!"

Zero's face became sour when Kaname came to close, scowling he said, "Nothing, I just got into a skirmish with a small group of level E's in the forest outside of town," Even with his airy tone the anger in them was visible. "That's all." he finished with finality.

Kaname narrowed his at the hunter."That's all?"his tone dark. "Your chest is covered in bandages." he showcased this with a swing of his arm. "Your face is bruised, and god only knows how far you walked before coming here to clean yourself up!" The calmness in his voice broke with the second pause."So tell me how that's alright! You could have called and asked for help."

"Well sorry," The prefect hissed. "But there really isn't any time for that in a middle of a fight for my fucking life! Now shut-up before you wake the damned children!" He pointed a long willow finger at the snoozing bundles.

"Children?" Kaname arched one perfect eyebrow before looking past the hunter at the children. "Wh-Why?" He was stunned to say the least, bewildered to top it off.

The silverette sighed, calming himself down. "I found them in the woods, well more precisely I followed that one," he pointed to Simone' over his shoulder with his thumb. "and found the other one lounging in a nearby creek."

Kaname narrowed his eyes at the sleeping kids. "Followed you say, then it-"

Zero blocked the pureblood's view of the children, glaring at the pureblood. "No Kuran," he replied hotly. "You. Are. Not. Going." he bit out every word with a hard jab with his index finger to the pureblood's broad chest. "To blame a fucking level E attack on children!"

Kaname sighed. "I'm not blaming anyone," the pureblood removed the finger still pressed harshly to his chest blinking when Zero snatched his hand back as if he was burned, Kaname sighed in response, eyes softening to take in the silver haired boy standing before him. "I was merely stating a possibility as it put your," he emphasized. "life in danger."

Zero turned his head snorting. "I can handle myself just fine Kaname."

"I know Zero, but that doesn't make you immortal." He spoke exasperating, concern clearly in his face.

Zero sighed deciding this chat about his well being would last all night. "It's late, lets not talk about this right now...okay?"

"Alright," Kaname nodded his brunette lock brushing his ears. Sitting back down, Zero rubbed his face peeking over his hands at the two sleeping on the the beds.

"Who are they?"

Zero gave the pureblood a suspicious look but when he found nothing but genuine curiosity he answered."Simone and Fin, I don't know much more than that, but when I found them they were already beat up wearing rags." Zero was gazing at the little ones fondly.

Kaname's face was one of concentration, the gears in his head already turning. "I will provide sufficient clothing for them."

"Thank-you." The hunter managed a small smile of gratitude. He already had come to care for the two little imps, who had supported him all the way to the school and he had already decided to help them anyway he could.
