"I would complain about the room however since we are just staying here to figure out what kind of mess Kiryu got himself into, I'll tolerate it." Kaito grumbled as he sat down on the couch. "Well, Misfit, did manage to find the room those two are in." Yagari grumbled as he blew smoke from his cigarette out the open window. Kaito sighed heavily and looked over at me. "Do you remember the room number?" He asked.
"302." I answered.
Kaito chuckled and looked at me in disbelief. "What did you do? Convince the receptionist to have us on the same floor they're on?" He snickered. I shook my head and shrugged. "I'm just very lucky today it looks like." I told him. "We'll stay here and keep an eye out for any changes in that room. You go on ahead and handle this hunt for us." Yagari instructed as he tossed his cigarette out the window and walked over to me. He handed me a piece of paper and I took it. "There is a vampire just a block away that has been kidnapping small children and we're supposed to find it and the children, and dispose of the vampire." Yagari informed me. I took the picture of the vampire and handed him the paper. "I'll go take care of it." I assured him. He nodded and I slipped the picture of the vampire into my coat pocket. I slipped out of the room and closed the door behind me. I headed towards the elevator and pressed the button to go do downstairs. I heard a door open from one of the other rooms as the elevator doors open. I stepped inside and pressed the button for the lobby floor. "Hold the door!" Zero called. I placed my hand over the door and looked over my shoulder to see him sprinting for the elevator.
Once he stepped inside the elevator I stepped back and leaned against the wall. The atmosphere was thick with tension and I was praying he wouldn't recognize me. "I take it you're not from here?" He asked. I looked over at him puzzled then remembered I am using a fake accent for my disguise! "Yes I'm just here on business." I answered while going back to my fake British accent. He nodded and the doors opened to the lobby. I hurried out of the elevator, eager to get away from the tension that was forming in there and stepped outside. I headed down the streets and looked around for anything suspicious. I headed down an alley, knowing that seems to be where most vampires like to do some illegal activities for some odd reason.
Want to catch a criminal vampire? Go to an alley at night!
I heard footsteps coming up from behind me and I reached for Silver Iris, once I felt a hand on my shoulder I spun around and pointed it at the person's throat while at the same time I felt a barrel against my forehead. My eyes widen when I realized it was Zero and sighed heavily, should have known he wouldn't be fooled by my disguise. "What are you doing running around with that disguise, Kuran?" He demanded. I inwardly cringed when he used my last name in the same tone he uses when talking to Kaname.
Lovely he ranked me to the same level as Kaname, now that's a new kind of low.
"Why should you care?" I asked. "Because you strongly resemble the woman who has been taking over the Association's hunts." He growled. I sighed heavily and lowered my weapon. "It's a long story and honestly right now you might not understand it. I swear to you on my life I will explain everything, and I will accept the consequences. However, right now I'm trying to find a vampire that's targeting-" I was interrupted by a little girl's scream of terror. Zero and I both looked at each other and darted towards where we heard the scream to see a hooded figure trying to carry a struggling little girl with curly strawberry blonde hair. "Let the girl go!" Zero and I both shouted in unison as we both aimed our guns at the figure. The figure just looked over at us and my eyes narrowed at the vampire.
It was the vampire I was looking for.
"Zero, that vampire is a target for the Association." I whispered to him. Zero nodded and the vampire snickered and made a dash down the alley. Zero and I ran after the vampire and I glanced over at Zero. "I take it this is a temporary alliance right now?" I asked him. "It seems so." He answered. The vampire turned a corner and once we neared the corner we skidded to a stop when we saw he was gone.
"Shit." Zero hissed.
I looked up to see if maybe the vampire tried climbing the wall to see he didn't. "There must be for or something considering this is a dead end." I told him. "I think we would have seen a door by now." Zero grumbled. I sighed heavily and looked over at him in disbelief. Wasn't he the one that introduced me into secret doors?
Just how much was his memory tampered?
"Just feel along the walls and floor for something off or look for a brick that doesn't match. This might be where his hideout is." I pointed out. Zero nodded and we started feeling along the walls. I looked down and noticed a window no doubt leading to a basement. "Zero, I found a window to a basement." I called over. I peeked through the window and my eyes widened in horror to see a large group of small children huddled in a corner shaking in terror as the vampire sat the girl down. "And the vampire is in the basement with at least a dozen small children." I added as I heard Zero come over to me. The vampire headed up some stairs and I saw this my chance to sneak inside. "Alright it's all clear for now. I'm climbing in to free the children first." I told him. "Good idea." He told me.
I looked over at him and smiled. He stiffened a bit and I raised an eyebrow. I shrugged and opened the window then slipped inside the basement. "Oh no it's feeding time!" One of the children sobbed. My heart broke at the sight of the pure terror in their eyes as they looked at me with panic. "Shh. I'm not here to hurt you, my friend and I are here to save you from the mean man." I whispered. The strawberry blonde girl I saw earlier shook her head and kept the other children away from me. "You both are vampires, just like the one who kidnapped us." She argued.
I cocked an eyebrow and studied the girl closely and realization hit me.
She was a vampire child.
I took the contacts out and put them in their case I carry in my pockets in case they irritate my eyes and undid the spell that disguised my appearance. Maybe she might recognize me a bit better. "You are correct we are both vampires, however unlike your kidnapper we don't like mean people who hurt children." I assured her. Her eyes widen and she stared at me in awe. "Y-you're, Iris Kuran!" She stuttered in surprise. I grinned and nodded. "Then you really are trying to help us!" She gasped. I nodded again and held a finger to my lips. "But we need to be very quiet. I'm going to help you guys out the window one at a time, and my friend will collect each of you. I will get my other two friends who are a block away from here to come over and help you guys find your families. However, you all need to be quiet and follow my friends and I's instructions." I told them.
I headed over to the window and saw Zero was still there. "Zero, are you ready to help the kids out the window?" I whispered.
Nothing.
Ugh what is wrong with him? I just gave him a friendly smile and now he is unresponsive! "Earth to Zero! I need assistance over here!" I hissed.
Still nothing.
I let out a frustrated growl and grabbed a pebble off the floor. I tossed it at him and he jerked out of his weird unresponsive state when it hit his leg. He looked over and shot me a disbelieving look. "You were ignoring me and I'm not shouting to blow our cover, so get your butt over here and help me get these children out of here!" I hissed. He grimaced and hurried over to me. I looked over at the children and cocked my head to the side. "So who wants to climb out of a window first?"
