DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
Zero's POV
Suki took advantage of my state of shock as I tried to wrap my head around what just happened as she dropped Bloody Rose, and broke free from me. "I take it that means we're over then." She hissed before she ran off. I didn't care that my prisoner was escaping, Iris could be at death's bed for all I know! I ran straight towards Iris and grimaced at the sight to see she was bleeding heavily from her shit wound in her chest. I quickly dialed Kaien's number while I tore off the hem of my shirt to press on her wound.
It took a couple rings for him to answer his phone. "Zero, what's wrong? As much as I don't mind getting a call from you-" "Suki shot Iris! Are you anywhere near my apartment?" I interrupted. "What?! N-no but Yagari and Kaito are on their way there, I sent them to come pick up your prisoner." He told me. "Well the prisoner got away. Just call them to let them know what's going on, I need to put pressure on her wound." I told him. I heard him sigh in relief, no doubt grateful Suki didn't get Iris where it would kill her. I hung up on him and used both hands to put pressure on the wound.
"Come on, Iris, stay with me here." I begged her even though she was unconscious. Yagari and Kaito finally showed up with the van and Kaito opened the back for me. "How the hell did she shoot her?!" Yagari demanded. "Suki managed to get Bloody Rose from me while I was trying to restrain her while Iris was trying to put the shackles on." I explained. "I'd ask why you didn't call the paramedics but knowing our luck it wouldn't be the type that know how to handle a vampire being shot." Kaito grumbled. "Not like I can request the paramedics to know how to help vampires, we don't need humans knowing."
I pointed out.
He nodded and pulled out a wooden board from the back of the van. He laid it down next to Iris and cradled her head with his hands. Yagari got on the other side of Iris and slipped an arm under her back. "On three we're going to carefully lift her and put her on the board." He instructed. I nodded and slipped an arm under her knees while I kept a hand on the press. Once he counted to three we carefully moved her onto the board then lifted the board and slid her into the van. "You and Kaito stay in there and keep doing what you've been doing." He told me.
Kaito and I both nodded and climbed into the van. Yagari closed the doors behind us and climbed into the driver seat. "So you guys were going to arrest Suki? I take it then you know the truth then?" He asked. "Yes I realize what Iris was trying to get through my thick skull and no my memories are not back." I told him. "Well at least you know the truth now." He grumbled.
Iris's eyes opened a little as she moaned in pain. "Zero?" She called softly. "I'm here, just don't move. You've been shot in the chest and bleeding a lot. We're taking you to hospital." I informed her. She nodded woodenly though her eyebrows furrowed. "We?" She repeated in confusion. "Kaito and Yagari are here." I pointed out. She nodded slowly and her eyes closed again.
Once we reached the hospital that helps vampires they acted quickly and pulled a stretcher out for us to put Iris on. They helped us carefully transition her into the stretcher and rushed her inside. I was about to follow then into the room but one of the nurses stopped me. "I'm sorry, unless you're her family or husband we can't let you inside at this moment." She told me. "She's my partner!" I snapped. "It's okay, let him in." A doctor that looked familiar instructed the nurse. The nurse looked conflicted on what to do. "But she's our princess, and he's just an ex human vampire hunter." She argued. "I said it's fine, just go back to your duties." He said sternly.
She nodded and walked away. "Right this way, Mr. Kiryu, and explain what happened while we work on saving her." He told me.
XxX
They had me leave the room once they had to take Iris for x-rays to see if they could find the bullet since they couldn't spot it with their keen eyes. It must have felt like years when they the doctor whom apparently has seen Iris and I a couple of times from injuries-if I didn't believe Iris when she explained everything before I sure as hell do now-came into the waiting room and I looked up at him. "We transferred her into a room in the hospital. We couldn't find the bullet, but it seems she lost too much blood and she slipped into a coma so we gave her more blood. We don't know when she will wake from it but her vitals are excellent considering what she just went through and you are free to visit her." He told me. I nodded and got up from my seat. "Can I see her right now?" I asked. He nodded and looked at the nurse who wasn't going to let me inside earlier. "Can you take Kiryu Zero to see Lady Iris?" He asked. She looked up from her paperwork, looked at him and I baffled, but nodded woodenly.
"Right this way." She told me.
Iris's POV
I always heard about out of body experiences and what it's like and thought it was interesting, but to actually be experiencing it is a whole other story! Zero was sitting at my bedside, holding my hand and I could see many emotions flickering on his face though mostly concern.
I walked over to him and tried to put my hand on his head, but my hand went through his head. I jerked my hand away and stared at my hand in shock. So I can see what's going on around me probably, but I can't touch anyone? I sighed heavily and and sat down on the edge of my bed, sooo am I supposed to just sit here and watch everything going on around me till I wake up?
Well this is going to be fun...not!
