DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
Once we reached the manor and were inside Zero lingered at the door. I looked over at him confused and motioned him to follow. He seemed a bit hesitant but followed me up the stairs. I led him to the guest bathroom and opened the door for him. "Alright this is the guest bathroom," I walked inside and pointed where the shampoos, body wash, and conditioners are located. "Use whatever soap you want and the towels are in that cabinet behind you." I informed him. He nodded and I started to head out of the bathroom. I felt a hand grab my arm and I looked over Zero confused.
His lavender eyes stared intensely into mine and I failed miserably to fight the light blush that was threatening to come. I recognized the intense warm emotion in them. Well that's not going to help my blushing problem. "W-What is it?" I asked sheepishly. He blinked and cleared his throat, the emotion was gone and I couldn't help but feel disappointed even though I knew I shouldn't have expected something since he's with Suki at the moment and she had tampered with his memories. "It's nothing. Sorry. Um thank you for your hospitality." He mumbled. I smiled and nodded. "Don't worry about, just leave your clothes outside the door and I'll get them cleaned. When they're clean I'll just place them outside the door in a bag for you." I told him as I headed out the door.
Once I closed the door behind me and headed towards my room. Once I was in my room I slumped down to the floor and groaned. Ugh this is so hard! I better find a way to undo whatever the hell Suki did to him and fast!
A week later...
Zero's POV
I was grateful to be at the Association, and away from Suki. She was getting under my skin with her constant questions on where I was at these past two weeks. I can't exactly tell her I work in a vampire hunting organization and my now partner is a female pureblood vampire whom I actually enjoyed having in my company which was kind of troubling because I was having extremely strong feelings towards her.
I stepped into Kaien's office to see Iris sitting in a chair with her knees pulled to her chest with her head buried in her arms. I could hear a few soft sobs coming from her. It was a complete change from the cheerful, goofy, and sometimes sassy Iris.
What happened to her? Shit I hope it has nothing to do with her siblings!
Kaien looked over at me and he sighed in relief. "Zero, thank heavens you're here. I told Iris we discovered what those vampires were doing in that warehouse. We found out they were keeping young and middle age women to supply Sara some blood. However, one of the victims was someone Iris had saved before from being a blood slave for her late ex fiancé and you can see how she's taking this news." He explained as he nodded his head to Iris.
I glanced back over at Iris to see she was still miserably failing at trying to cry silently. I had never seen a pureblood vampire openly cry in front of people, but again Iris isn't like the others.
Iris's POV
I saved that woman's life to only end it!
I felt a hand gentle hand on my head and I looked up to see it was Zero. When did he get here? I tried to quickly wipe away any tears that were still on my face, but I failed as new stream of tears came pouring down. "Kaien told me about what they found in that warehouse." Zero told me. "I shouldn't have demanded they close up shop till we saw what they were doing." I mumbled.
"Iris, you don't know if you could have saved anyone this time. For all you know maybe their holding cells were rigged to explode if someone without authorization tried to come down there." Zero pointed out. "She has two little girls she adopted and a husband and I took those little girls' mother away! I'm a fucking monster." I sobbed. "Iris, you're not a monster." Zero and Kaien growled in unison which startled me a bit. Zero cupped my face and looked at me sternly. "You're not a monster and you never will be one! If I hear those three words coming out of your mouth again, I'll make your life a living hell, understand?" He growled. I nodded woodenly and roughly dried my face. "Sorry." I mumbled and took a deep breath. I looked over at Kaien and cocked my head. "So do you have anything for us or am I stuck behind a desk doing paperwork again?" I asked.
Sorry the chapter is short! My brain is a but fried from work
