this is a chapter where Yuuki actually comes into Zero's point of view and tries to stop a fight between him and the night class students.
disclamation: I do not own Vampire Knight. I wish I did, but I don't. Viz Media regrettably owns the anime. the rights of ownership with the manga are reserved for Matsuri Hino-san.
I was still trying to catch my breath after leaving the safety I always felt at the horse stables with White Lily when I sensed something or someone trying to pick a fight with me. This time, it really was the Night Class students mad at me about what I had done earlier, more specifically it was Hanabusa, Ruka, Rima, Senri, and Akatsuki encircling me.
I did not hesitate to pull out my Bloody Rose anti-vampire gun from my school uniform jacket. I was not about to let them try to strike me.
Yours Truly: Hello, Night Class. What do you want?
Hanabusa was the first of the leeches who spoke to me.
Hanabusa Aido: You know, you're a little cocky, Zero Kiryuu.
Ruka spoke to me next.
Ruka Souen: You're just a human, and the way you treat Lord Kaname.
Excuse me, I did not even like him, especially considering that he was the exact same kind of vampire as the one that attacked and killed my family.
Rima spoke up after Ruka.
Rima Toya: We really doing this?
Senri spoke up about the subject after Rima.
Senri Shiki: Yeah, but Takuma said we should leave it alone.
Finally, Akatsuki spoke up about the subject with his own input.
Akatsuki Kain: Look, he's right. Hanabusa, Ruka, if Lord Kaname finds out, he'll tear you apart. Zero, come on. Just put that thing a_
He actually tried to discourage me from my anger towards them all by putting his hand on me? Was Akatsuki, of all vampires, out of his mind? Of course, I flipped the orange-haired vampire over my shoulder before he could get the chance to even try to stop my rage. Rima and Senri looked down at him with disappointment.
Rima Toya and Senri Shiki: So uncool.
Of course, Akatsuki responded to them by merely telling them to…
Akatsuki Kain: Shut up.
I just smirked angrily at all of the beasts in human form that had encircled me.
Yours Truly: Interesting. Come on then, vampires. Go ahead. I'm in a bad mood, anyway.
Hanabusa was the only one who responded to that little reverse challenge of mine.
Hanabusa Aido: See, it's that kind of attitude that makes people think you're cocky.
Hanabusa then created an ice path between himself and me which led to the on-campus lake.
Then, Akatsuki rose up from me having flipped him over my shoulder and was the next to talk about what they had planned to do to me.
Akatsuki Kain: Well, I did the best I could to play the good guy here.
Then, the orange-haired vampire used his own vampire powers to ignite a few of the leaves in the tree next to him.
Akatsuki Kain: I'm not to blame for what's next.
It did not even matter because I was ready to take them all on, at the same time if I had to even. I would have, too, if it were not for Yuuki showing up right then and there.
Yuuki: Hold it right there!
My Yuuki had then pole-vaulted herself into our fight using her Artemis Rod. She landed on her feet between them and me like a cat just to remind them of the rules at Cross Academy.
Yuuki: Fighting is forbidden. Didn't any of you read the student handbook? If you refuse to back down, then as a Disciplinary Committee prefect, you'll have to come through me first.
The Night Class seemed to lose interest in fighting me after having been reminded that it was against the rules. Akatsuki even put out his own flaming leaves.
Akatsuki Kain: Now that she's here…
Hanabusa Aido: I'm over it!
Ruka Souen: Yes, the mood is completely ruined. Let's go back to class.
With that, Ruka turned around and they all headed back to the school building where the Night Class was still in session. My Yuuki turned to face me afterwards and began to ask me…
Yuuki: What are you doing, Zero? This isn't like you. Why would you do this?
Of course, my Yuuki thought that I was the one who instigated the fight because she practically worshipped the Night Class just like the rest of the Day Class girls. I had had enough of the blame for others' actions being pushed onto me. I just wanted to go back to the Sun Dorm at that point, so I began to walk away from Yuuki without so much as an explanation as to why because my reasons for it should have been obvious. She tried to grab onto me, anyway.
Yuuki: Zero.
But, I just pushed my Yuuki aside with my own arm, the one of which she had tried to grab as I walked away.
Yours Truly: Just leave me alone.
I continued to walk away from my Yuuki afterwards. I did not want to see her anymore that night.
