DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

Once all except for the vampire little girl-named Sally apparently-whom I assigned as my look out since she had sensitive hearing were out of the basement. "Sally, is it still clear?" I whispered. She started to give me the all clear signal but stopped. She ran towards me with fear in her eyes. "He's coming!" She cried softly. I knelt down in front of her and wiped away a couple stray tears. "It's going to be okay. I'll hold him off after I get you at least in my friend's reach." I assured her. She nodded and I picked her up. "Okay, Zero, last child." I announced. Zero reached out for us and Sally looked at me hesitantly. "You'll be safe with him don't worry. He might seem scary but he has a big heart especially for children." I reassured her. She nodded and took Zero's hands. I let her go the moment Zero had her halfway out and pulled out Ravek. I morphed it into its sword form and got in a fighting stance as I eyed the stairs. "Iris, what are you doing?" Zero hissed. "Just standing here trying to look cool. I'm buying time for you to get the children somewhere safe!" I hissed back.

The vampire stepped into the room and looked around puzzled then his blood red eyes landed on me. "You're-" "Yes I know. 'Oh my gosh you're a Kuran! Have mercy on me, Princess! Blah blah blah'. I heard this a thousand times." I informed him and charged at the vampire. I drove Ravek into his shoulder and forced him to back into a wooden beam. I twisted Ravek as I forced it further through the vampire's shoulder and the vampire screamed in agony. The smell of blood hit me and I forced myself to not lunge at him and drink him dry. I set my phone to voice memo so I could record his confession. "Why are you kidnapping children?" I demanded. He scoffed at me and I twisted Ravek more, causing him to scream more. "Al-Alright! A member of the Kuro household gave me permission." He confessed.

Kuro? Like as in Suki Kuro? Oh that woman is in even more deep shit!

"The Kuros are not purebloods, and have no right to give you such permission since it's forbidden and frowned upon by both the Hunter Association and the Vampire Society. Whomever thought they could do such things is out of his damn mind!" I hissed while intentionally saying the member of the Kuro family that did this was a man just so I can have a confession in case he corrects me because there is only one female Kuro in that family and that is Suki.

"She is out of her damn mind you mean." He groaned.

Got her! However I rather he said her name so I can have a solid proof against her.

"Oh you mean Yuuka Kuro?" I asked. "No! There isn't a Yuuka Kuro in that family! Her name is fucking Suki Kuro!" He snapped. I smirked darkly and his eyes widen in horror. "You were recording this?!" He gasped. I pulled out my phone and stopped it from recording then slipped it back into my pocket. "That woman is working with someone who used some power to not only wipe the man I love's memories of me but is controlling him like a damn puppet, and until the day I am tired of living or I disappear into dust, I will do everything in my power to save him from them." I hissed.

I grunted when I received a powerful kick in my stomach and was sent flying back into a wall. I could feel my ribs that apparently broke slowly trying to heal and I whimpered in pain from how painful it was. I looked up to see the vampire trying to yank Ravek out of his shoulder even though it kept zapping him. He let out a frustrated growl and with one hard yank managed to pull Ravek out. I started to get up but the excruciating pain brought me back down. He trudged over to me and I glared up at him. "Any moment now my partner from the Association is going to burst in and kill you." I warned.

"Guess they can clean up your remains." He said flatly. I tried to reach for silver Iris before he drove my sword in me, however I wasn't fast enough but at least thanks to my reaching I managed to have him not hit any important organs and instead have Ravek shoved into my shoulder. I screamed loudly in pain from the stinging and burning pain in my shoulder.

"Z-Zero!" I cried as tears started to roll down my face from the extreme pain I was in. I don't know why I called for him, maybe it was out of habit from whenever I need help badly.

I heard glass shattering and a soft thud. No way...did Zero actually came? Maybe because of our little alliance we made to catch this guy. I looked up to see it was indeed the silver haired hunter. The vampire looked over at Zero in shock to see my help did indeed come. "Step away from her...now." Zero growled. The vampire looked at me and then at Zero and quickly stepped away from me. Zero aimed bloody rose at him and pulled the trigger and with that the vampire crumbled into dust.

Zero glanced over at me and he put bloody rose away. He rushed over to me and knelt down next to me. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Peachy." I hissed. He placed his hand on my shoulder and I looked over at him confused. "I'm going to remove the sword out of your arm." He warned. I nodded and took a deep breath. He pulled Ravek out of and tossed it aside. "That must really suck to have your own sword used against you." Zero commented. "Could be worse." I pointed out.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. "Besides feeling my bones try to mend themselves in me and my skin trying to close a wound but not able to?" I asked. "I meant on thirst." He groaned. I blinked and looked at him curiously. Did he remember everything now? "What did you never here that injured vampires are extremely thirsty because they need to drink blood to help heal?" He demanded.

Never mind.

Though I won't deny I was thirsty, but I have been for the past few months. I've been trying to calm my thirst by taking tablets even though I know it won't work and sometimes I might drink the blood of the vampires I hunt although I know nothing was going to calm the inferno in my throat until I drink Zero's blood, because I only desire only his blood.

"Do you have any tablets?" I asked, knowing very well he wasn't going to offer any blood. He nodded and handed me a few. I plopped them in my mouth and I silently prayed I will be able to take them today.

I felt the all to familiar feeling of my body churning at the taste of the tablets and hunched forward-which was very painful since my bones are still healing-and started coughing and gagging them out. "Dammit." I huffed once the fits were over. "You...can't take them?" Zero asked in surprise. "Unfortunately." I grumbled. "But you're a pureblood vampire!" He said in surprise. I straightened myself up and leaned against the wall. He was staring at me in utter surprise and I couldn't help but giggle because the look on his face was the same one he had when he was trying to figure out how I was human but from a pureblood family.

"It's a long story that might not want to be told at this moment maybe when we're back at the Association?" I offered. He nodded and held his wrist out to me. I cocked an eyebrow and looked at him confused. "You need blood right? I'm not going to take you out of here when you might unintentionally attack someone for their blood." He told me.

I gently took his arm and looked at him unsurely. When I saw he was being serious I took a deep breath and gently sank my fangs into his wrist. My mind spun when the familiar taste of Zero's blood spilled into my mouth. I thought I heard a familiar soft moan that sounded like Zero's, and I blushed brightly when I realized it was indeed his moan. I took a few more gulps and carefully detached my fangs. I wiped my mouth clean and Zero looked at me curiously. "Are you good?" He asked. I nodded and he stood up. He held out his hand and I took it. He started to help me up, but I hissed in pain as my ribs that were healing sped up a bit more from the healing process. I sat back down and held my sides. "Bad idea." I groaned. I yelped when I was suddenly scooped up and I looked over at Zero surprised.

"Clearly you're more injured than you thought." He told me. Okay why doe this seem…oh yeah that's right! The time my shoulder blade broke during my little fight with that masked lunatic!

Why is it everytime I have a broken bone either Zero or I are being messed with by someone with our memory?
