DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
The next day Zero wasn't at work which was weird especially since last time I checked vampires can't get sick. I learned that when I tried to fake being sick because I wanted to control my thirst-Zero explained how he knew I was faking it. I knocked on the Kaien's door before I poked my head inside. "President Cross, Zero hasn't showed up yet. Do you want me to go and check on him?" I asked. Kaien looked over from the mountain of books on his desk and nodded. "Please do, Iris~chan, that's very unlike him." He told me. I eyed him worriedly when I spotted the dark circles under his eyes and wondered if he has been here all night and has gotten little sleep. "Have Kaito take you there just in case." He added.
I nodded and shot him one more concerned look before I closed the door. I searched around the Association for Kaito till I found him in the shooting range firing at one e of the targets. I waited till he was reloading to get his attention.
"Oi, Kaito, I need you to take me to Zero's apartment! He hasn't showed up to work yet!" I called. He took off his ear muffs and looked at me puzzled. "What?!" He called. Right...he doesn't have sensitive hearing like vampires. "I need you to take me to Zero's apartment. He hasn't showed up to work yet." I repeated. "Yeah no problem, we'll take the van in case Suki is there so we can nab her." He told me.
I couldn't stop the evil smirk forming on my face. In that case I hope she is there so I can personally escort her to the van.
"Heel, Iris, heel! We don't know if she is there so don't get too excited." Kaito warned as he escorted me out. I shot him a withering look for commanding me to heel like I was a dog.
XxX
Once we reached Zero's apartment we got out of the van and made sure to keep our hands near our weapons as we reached his door. I knocked on the door and waited a moment.
Silence.
Kaito and I shared a nervous glance and I knocked on the door again. "Zero, it's me! You haven't showed up to work and we're worried!" Kaito called before I could say anything. I glanced over at him puzzled. "Just in case she is here." He whispered. I nodded and motioned him to stand in front of me. "In that case you should be the first one they see if they open the door." I informed him. He nodded and stood between me and the door. "Knock one more time while I go search for the spare key." I mumbled as I headed to the base of fake flowers where we kept the spare key, hopefully he didn't change the location of it.
I found the spare key as Kaito pounded on the door again. "Zero, open the damn door! I know you're in there!" Kaito barked. "Found it!" I announced and handed him the spare key. He waited a couple minutes and unlocked the door. "Be ready for anything." He warned. I nodded and pulled out Ravek from his holder. I morphed him into his sword form and followed Kaito inside. I stiffened when I smelt a mixture of Zero's blood and Suki's scent. "He's either injured or she's here for a drink." I warned quietly.
Kaito nodded and cocked his gun. "You check the living room and kitchen, I'll check the bedrooms." He whispered. I nodded and poked my head in the kitchen. Well the kitchen looks untouched and still clean. I stepped further into the kitchen to check the pantry and washroom just in case.
Nope nothing.
I went into the living room and I froze when I saw Suki drinking Zero's blood. "Get away from him now." I hissed. She pulled away and she looked over at me in surprised though it quickly changed into anger. "What are you doing here?!" She snapped. "Kaito, get in here!" I called. "You have no business being in his home!" Suki continued to snap. "And you do?" I asked. She shot me a withering look and I glanced over at Zero to see he had that blank stare on his face.
So she has to compel him in order to get some blood from him?
Now that's just sad...and funny.
Suki was about to lunge at me but she stopped and glanced over at Zero then smirked. "What's the...oh." Kaito sighed heavily when he saw the scene in the living room as he approached from behind me. Suki's eyes flowed red and Zero blinked and narrowed his eyes at us.
"Fuck." Kaito and I groaned in unison.
"Soo who wants to take on Zero?" I asked. "If I fight him, he's going to be in the hospital for a while." Kaito warned. "Fine but if I take it to extreme measures, I better not be in a cell." I growled and pounced on Zero and used my vampire strength to throw off his balance. He fell back and stared up at me in shock for a brief moment.
I yelped when I was suddenly kicked off and I landed into the wall. I glanced over to make sure there wasn't a hole and sighed in relief. I could hear the landlord already screaming and losing his mind if there was a hole
I got into my feet and glared at Zero as he started coming at me. "Zero, stop before you make me do something I'll hate myself for later." I warned as I readied Ravek for a defensive attack. He was almost near me and I growled in frustration. "I'm sorry about this, Zero!" I apologized as I hit him in the head with the pummel before driving Ravek into his shoulder.
He screamed in pain and I grimaced. I heard a loud thud and Zero collapsed on me, forcing me to dig my heels to anchor myself before I fell on the floor. I looked over to see Kaito holding an encyclopedia in his hand I looked at him in shock. "Did you seriously hit him with that?!" I asked in disbelief. "It was there closest thing that wouldn't break." He said defensively. I looked around and noticed Suki was gone. "Where's Suki?" I asked.
"She used that mind trick she used on the day class to make them like statues." He grumbled.
Dammit!
