DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

Zero and I were both silent for a moment, on the ride to the warehouse and I sighed heavily. Do I have to start the small talk and the topic is going to be really uncomfortable for me.

Looks like it!

"Sooo um how are things with you and Suki, right?" I asked timidly. "Things are okay. It's kind of annoying I have to constantly refill my tablets every week because I can't let her know I'm a vampire." He admitted. I did a double take and looked at him confused. "What do you mean you have to hide the fact you're a vampire to her? She is an aristocrat vampire." I told him. "No she's human." He argued.

Why would he think she's human unless...

A fuzzy memory came to me when I was patrolling and I remember it was the the night My memories were tampered. A dark masked female appeared before me and she took off her mask to reveal it was none other than Suki.

Holy shit it all of this makes sense!

The reason the masked lunatic had such an obsession with Zero as well as Suki, why the masked lunatic was desperate to get in between Zero and I! It's also why when Suki left the academy the masked lunatic hasn't made an appearance. Suki is the one who knows the mentalism spells and she has been tampering everyone's memories or control them like her damn puppets! That's why Zero has no memory of me and why he broke up with me, and that is also why he thinks she is a human! She wanted to make sure all suspicions Zero might have started having were off her!

"I thought you hunters are able to tell who is human who is not?" I asked. Zero gave me a warning glare and I sighed heavily. "Alright I'll drop it. Guess there's another Suki Kuro running around out there that isn't a vampire." I grumbled under my breath. "So are you and Kaito dating?" He asked suddenly, no doubt trying to change the subject.

I nearly balked at the very thought of that. It's nothing against Kaito it's just I have strong feelings for Zero and Kaito and I just started to develop a friendship. "Why do you ask?" I asked as I eyed him curiously. I recognized that burning look of jealousy in his eyes and I smirked inwardly.

Oh I have to mess with him.

"Just answer the question." He growled. "Why so hostile about my lack of answer?" I asked innocently. "Iris." He growled warningly.

Ha! He might have no memory of me, but that didn't get rid of his feelings for me! Take that Suki!

"Zero, I'm fucking with you. No, Kaito and I are not dating. We just became friends." I assured him. He seemed a bit relieved but then he seemed very puzzled about something. Poor Zero doesn't even know why he's acting like this! I almost feel bad for messing with him.

Almost.

"Is that the warehouse?" I asked when we approached a foreboding looking building. Zero looked at the GPS and pulled into an alley so no one would see us. "According to the GPS this is the place." He told me.

"Right. Of course it would be at a shady looking building that screams danger." I groaned. "If you're that uncomfortable about it, why don't you use a familiar to go in for you?" He asked. I rubbed my neck sheepishly and he stared at me surprised. "You don't know how to make a familiar?" He asked. I nodded as I blushed from embarrassment. "I never exactly attended 'How to be a Pureblood Vampire 101' till now and since it's Aidou-senpi teaching me, I won't be getting the 'How to Make a Familiar' lesson." I told him.

"Well I guess you're going inside with me whether you like it or not apparently." He told me. "I was just whining about the fact it looks shady, not about the fact I have to go in." I pointed out as we both climbed out of the Association's van. "So how should we do this?" He asked. "Well the reason Kaien wanted me to tag along is because it's on the Kuran clan's territory, so maybe if I go in and act professional while you follow and I don't know act as my bodyguard?" I suggested. "Fine, just don't get far into the role." He grumbled.

I have to act like we never dated since that cunt really went above and beyond on tampering with your memories don't I?, I thought bitterly.

I placed one hand on my heart and the other one was held up. "I, Iris Kuran, solemnly swear not to get too caught up in our act." I vowed. He rolled his eyes though I did see a small smile on his lips.

XxX

Zero and I walked over towards the warehouse and a man dressed in a black duster coat that was buttoned all the way up approached us and held his hand up to signal us to halt. "No trespassing. Turn around and head back." He ordered gruffly.

I cocked an eyebrow at him and tisked him. "Actually you and your friends are the ones who are trespassing for this warehouse is on my territory and I know for a fact I didn't authorize any activity in any of the warehouses." I informed him. He stiffened as he studied me carefully and bowed his head. "My apologies, Iris~sama, however we were given permission to work here though we were not informed that this was the Kuran family's land." He admitted. Zero and I glanced at each other confusedly, and I cocked my head to the side. "Whomever told you that you are allowed to operate here was gravely mistaken. Only the head of the Kuran family can do that, and that will be me and I know I have not arranged for such things to take place." I informed him.

He groaned and pinched the bridge of his nose. "I'll take you to my boss so you can explain this to him, however your hunter friend here is to remain here." He informed me. I shook my head. "No can do, he is my personal bodyguard." I informed him. "But he is-" I allowed my eyes to glow red and he cleared his throat. "R-Right! May you two please follow me." He stuttered.
