DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
I skidded to a halt once I reached the Association and darted to the gates. "Open the gate!" I shouted as I charged at it. The gates opened and I rushed inside before they were closed again. "What kept you from getting here, Misfit?" Yagari asked as I stopped to catch my breath. "Yuuki needed assistance on kicking Kaname's ass. He got away before I could deliver the killing blow thanks to Ruka's illusion spell. Once I got out of it I ran here as fast as I could, Yuuki said he seemed to be heading this way." I warned.
He cursed under his breath and sighed heavily. "Just what we need...more trouble here. It's already bad enough Suki Kuro escaped and the old man is worried about the furnace." He growled. "Where's Zero?" I asked. He chuckled a little and ruffled my hair. "Don't worry we made sure he isn't part of the search for her. Though he was a bit stubborn on not assisting so we agreed to let him be in the main hall to make sure she doesn't escape through the front door with some other hunters." He assured me and I sighed in relief.
"Now get inside. I now need to get some more hunters out here to guard the exterior since Kuran Kaname is on his way here."
He grumbled. I nodded and headed inside. My eyes scanned the main hall for Zero and spotted him leaning against a post with his eyes closed. I headed over to him and was about to flick his forehead but he grabbed my hand gently. He opened his eyes and cocked an eyebrow at me. "You're lucky I love you." He grumbled though I could see a smirk forming on his lips which told me he wasn't as annoyed as his tone implied.
"I'd love to have a comeback for that but unfortunately I need to warn you that Kaname is on his way here and it's not for a friendly chat over tea." I warned. He sighed heavily and shook his head. "Did everyone decided once it was two in the morning to
start raising hell?" He growled. I shrugged and sighed. "You know what they say, 'No rest for the wicked'." I quoted.
"Kaname Kuran is inside the Association!" A hunter shouted from upstairs. "Why is he here any way?" Zero asked. "I don't know, he didn't exactly stay and chat to explain his whole master plan like most stereotypical villains do in the spy movies." I told him. "That's usually when the spy gets caught in their trap." Zero grumbled. I was about to say I was but I decided not to. Last thing Zero needs to here was my very disturbing experience in one of Ruka's illusions. I'm even trying hard to forget about that!
"You stay here and make sure Suki doesn't escape, I'll face him." Zero instructed. I balked and shook my head. "Like hell I am! This is personal between me and him! He messed with you and Yuuki." I argued. He shook his head and I growled in frustration. "Then let me go with you!" I suggested. He kissed my forehead and frowned. "Just stay here, please! I don't want to accidentally hurt you when I awaken Bloody Rose." He told me. I looked at him confusedly. "Wait...there's more to Bloody Rose then just being a gun?" I asked. "It's as deceiving as Ravek and Artemis." He admitted.
"It's not going to morph into a bazooka is it?" I asked curiously. He rolled his eyes and shook his head. "No but it's pretty chaotic when it's awaken." He warned. I sighed in defeat and nodded. "Just don't do anything stupid." I begged. "I won't." He assured me and kissed me deeply as he pulled me into his arms tightly. I could hear a few of the hunters whistling and calling out at us to get a room as I returned the kiss.
Zero pulled away and shot them one of his infamous death glares before running up the stairs to find Kaname. I took a deep breath and looked at all the hunters that were staring at me. I shot them a withering look and crossed my arms over my chest. "All of you stop staring and keep a damn eye out for Suki!" I barked. They jumped and looked away. "Shit! The Vice President's girlfriend can be scary like him!" One of them grumbled. "I think either she's been around him to long maybe or she is that scary when she needs to be." Another one mumbled.
Bakas...
My heightened hearing overheard some commotion going on out the doors and I went over to them and looked at the hunters. "Stay inside and keep an eye out. I'm going to check whatever is going on outside." I told them and slipped through the door to see on the other side of the gate, Yuuki trying to get inside but Ruka and a man with brownish orange hair hair trying to hold her back. "Akatsuki, stop her!" Ruka begged. I sighed heavily and shook my head.
I knew Yuuki wasn't going to listen to me...when she's this determined and stubborn especially. I leapt over to the wall and landed behind the man named Akatsuki. Ruka's eyes widen in shock when she saw me, no doubt surprised I wasn't under the illusion anymore. "I have no qualms with you, Ruka, but please don't you ever use THAT illusion on me again!" I growled and looked at Yuuki who was struggling to get past Akatsuki.
Yuuki froze when she saw me and I stepped around Akatsuki, whom decided I have a control on the situation now. "Akatsuki-kun, thank you for stopping my sister from endangering her baby." I told him and narrowed my eyes at Yuuki. "I need to get to hi-" "I'm going to stop you right there. You're not going on there and putting your baby in danger! We literally just had this discussion at the Academy!" I hissed. "But I need to-" there was a loud crash explosion from above us and I moved Yuuki away from the falling rubble. I looked up and my eyes widened in horror to see Zero, surrounded by a large amount of vines as well as bats with Kaname holding onto Zero as they both feel down. The two landed on the ground and I saw Kaname was ready to deliver a killing blow to Zero with his sword.
Kaname is going to kill Zero!
I bolted toward them and leaped in between the two and but I didn't feel a sword but I did smell that blood was spilt. I realized there was a head on my back and I glanced over to see it was Ruka.
She took the blow for Zero? I thought she wanted to serve Kaname unless she was tired of going down this path he was going, but she took the blow?! Why?!
I heard footsteps running toward us and I was a little frustrated I couldn't see who but I didn't want to move, in fear of making Ruka's injury worse. I felt someone taking gingerly off Zero and I, and I got off Zero to see it was Akatsuki cradling Ruka in his arms.
"Kaname~sama, please don't do that...it's too much." Ruka panted. I looked over to see Kaname standing in a distance and I narrowed my eyes at him. I looked over at Zero when I heard him hiss in pain and helped him sit up. "Once this is over, you're getting an earful for trying to sacrifice yourself for me." Zero groaned. "Oh like you wouldn't do the same if the roles were reversed." I retorted and frowned as I saw him holding his head.
I felt a tap on my shoulder and I looked over to see it was Akatsuki. The look in his eyes as they flowed red told me he was furious, and I had a feeling from the way he was automatically at Ruka's side why. "Hold her." He told me through clenched teeth. I nodded and held my arms open as he gingerly moved the injured woman into my arms. He stood up and my eyes widen in surprise to see a ball of fire form in his hand before he launched it at Kaname.
"Dorm President Kuran, Ruka won't get angry with you for something like that, but I'm different." Akatsuki growled. Ruka wearily managed to get up only to throw herself at Akatsuki as he readied another fire attack at Kaname. "Stop! I was the one in the wrong because I acted impulsively so..." She lost what little strength she had left to stay standing and Akatsuki immediately addressed the crumbling woman as his feet. He cradled her into his arms as he held her closely to her.
Kaname looked at Zero and I then back at Ruka. I started to stand up to protect them but Zero grabbed my arm. I looked over at him worriedly and held his shoulders as he hissed from his wounds healing. "Ruka, you shielded him and his beloved who was willing to do the same you did and betrayed me, so it's over between us." Kaname told her. "I understand." Ruka mumbled. "Take care of Ruka, Yuuki." Kaname instructed.
Zero glanced over at something behind me and groaned. "Iris, you're sister is acting impulsively." He groaned.
Do I have to slap her again?!
I got up and turned around only to see Yuuki holding Artemis in front of Kaname. Oh? Is she going to finish him off? "What is 'Her Will' That has compelled you to go this far to accomplish it?!" Yuuki demanded. Nope...she's holding him for a quick interrogation. "No matter what that would be, it's wrong to be doing something like this." Yuuki scolded. "After catching me like this then what would you do, Yuuki?" Kaname asked.
I looked up to see the hunters getting ready to drop a chain net on top of the two and my eyes widen in horror. Yuuki is going to get hurt!
Before I could run over to the two to pull Yuuki away Kaname pushed Yuuki aside and the net fell on top of him. Yuuki's eyes widened in shock and I rushed over to her and pulled her away from the chains to see Kaname wasn't there. Damn was that a familiar?! "Why did he protect me?!" Yuuki choked out. "Probably for the same reason everyone else has been. You're pregnant and you seem to be forgetting that a lot lately." I scolded.
"Ruka!" Akatsuki panicked. I released Yuuki when I could tell her attention was on the two now and not on Kaname. She rushed to them and I looked over to see Zero was standing on his feet and fully healed. "Ruka-san, are you alright?" Yuuki asked. I headed over to the two and knelt down beside Ruka. "She got hurt by an anti vampire weapon. We won't be able to stop the bleeding so easily." Akatsuki explained to Yuuki. I grimaced remembering my own personal experience from being hurt by an anti vampire weapon.
"Ruka, try to muster some strength and drink my blood." I offered as I pulled my sleeve up so I could bare my wrist for her as I made a cut with my nail so it would be easy on her. She nodded wearily and Akatsuki grabbed my wrist suddenly. I looked at him bewildered but then realized what he was going to do. He brought my bleeding wrist to his mouth and allowed it to spill into her mouth. He brought his lips down to her and Yuuki and I both looked away as we got up to offer the two some privacy.
"I think that was their first kiss." I whispered to Yuuki as a stifled a giggle. She giggled and nodded. She then frowned and shrank Artemis down to its rod form. She handed it to me and I looked at her puzzled. "If it wasn't for Kaname I would have lost my baby. You're right, I shouldn't be here when this is no place for a pregnant woman. I just wanted answers but instead I have more questions. Just do me a favor, get answers out of Kaname and use Artemis to end him." She requested. I nodded and took Artemis from her.
"I will." I promised. She nodded and hugged me tightly. "Be safe." She pleaded and ran away from the scene. I looked down at the Artemis rod and slipped it into my inner coat pocket. Hopefully I will be able to use it, I don't know if it will morph into its awaken form for me or only the current master can.
I yelped as I felt someone ruffle my hair and I looked over to see Zero looking at me. "I know you're worried about her, but I think it finally got through to her head what you've been trying to tell her." Zero assured me. I fixed my ponytail and nodded.
"He wanted to get rid of me, didn't he?" Zero growled to himself as he walked towards the gate. He sighed heavily as he approached the gate and looked over at me. "The door trap is still active." He warned and I yelped as he scooped me up into his arms and carried me through the gate. "Zero, I can get through the gate without assistance!" I argued as I pointed to the bracelet Kaien gave me when I started working for the Association. He figured it would be easier for me if I could come in and out as I please but he wasn't going to use the taming ritual on me so he managed to make me a bracelet from one of the shackles that allow their prisoners to come in with ease.
"Your bracelet won't work when the defenses are activated." He explained as he set me down on my feet once we were back in the main hall. I noticed everyone was scrambling around and Yagari was trying to get some volunteers to go with him. "You guys come with me! He's above us!" He ordered.
This Just gets better and better...not!
