DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
I hated the feeling of helplessness that was creeping into me, a feeling that once was familiar when I was human and with Akito that is now foreign and bitter to me, as Zero continued to fight off the parent metal that kept coming towards us.
Kaname was oddly very calm with the fact the parent metal that was made from his maybe former lover was wrapped around him and his sword. "You have done your best during the past ten thousand years is sufficient enough so rest in peace for I will succeed you." Kaname told it.
Oh I'm going to kick his ass, he abandons my sister right before they both discovered she was with child, now they both know she is carrying his child...he's going to sacrifice himself to help his dead former lover's dying wishes?!
The metal suddenly stopped and broke into millions of pieces.
I moved out of Zero's arms and lunged at Kaname. "You fucking jackass!" I screeched, though before so could land a single punch he disappeared into thousands of bats. I felt the ground beneath me shake and Zero helped me back onto my feet. "We need to get out of here, the building is collapsing." He told me. "If you say we're jumping off this roof, you're out of your damned mind." I hissed. "Just land on your feet." He told me as he led me to edge of the roof.
I groaned and jumped off the roof. I did as Zero suggested and landed on my feet. I hissed as I felt pain shot from my feet to my knees, and I looked behind me when I heard a soft thud only to see it was just Zero. We ran from the crumbling building where the hunters were before the building collapsed into itself, and we shielded our faces from the flying dust a flying pebbles coming at us.
"Just when my work schedule couldn't get more chaotic, now I need to make sure no one takes advantage of this situation and track down that bastard again." I grumbled under my breath once the air cleared. "Worry about that mess later, let's look for any survivors that may have been the building." Zero told me. I nodded as I let out a small 'mmph', and rolled my sleeves up.
XxX
"For the last time just because the hunters are defenseless does not mean vampires should take advantage of the situation and attack them!" I barked as I glared at a council member. "But, Iris~sama, they have hunted our kind with-" My eyes glowed red which caused the elderly vampire that was speaking to become silent. "And those hunts were called for considering most of the time when they killed it was because one of our own was terrifying the humans and would have brought our existence to light! If I hear word that anyone from the other houses attack the hunters, they will pay for breaking our attempt of making peace with the Association, or have we forgotten that?" I asked coldly.
"Let's be honest here, the reason she is so protective of the hunters is because their future president warms her bed." Shizuku Toma sneered. I clenched my jaw and I glared at the pureblood brat. "Shizuku~sama!" A few members of the Association gasped in horror. "Toma-kun, since when did the meetings become a place to spread rumors and gossip like childish school girls?" I asked. He smirked and crossed his arms over his chest.
"Considering one of my spies spotted that ex human hunter coming with you inside-" "And may I ask why you felt the need to have a spy on my territory let alone at my home?"
I asked innocently, interrupting him. He cleared his throat and I smirked a little as he fidgeted in his seat as all the eyes went onto him.
"And if you must know why the hunter's future president was inside my home was because we were discussing how to find Kuran Kaname." I lied, though they didn't need to know that. I'm trying to defend Zero here...that and I don't need Yuuki to deal with them freaking out on her about who is my boyfriend.
Toma grimaced as he realized his mistake and the elderly vampire sighed heavily. "Lady Iris, we will be sure to follow your wishes and not attack the hunters and we will do our best to insure everyone follows through with these wishes as long as the hunters don't attack first, however from what you told us that possibility is very unlikely." He assured me. Toma glared at me and stormed out of the room. I looked at the remaining members of the meeting and bowed my head. "Thank you." I told them.
"No thank you for granting us your presence, Iris~sama, it always brightens our day to see our precious princess." A member told me. "With that being said, the meeting is now over." The elderly vampire announced and everyone nodded. We all stood up from our seats and headed out of the room. I headed towards the exit and shot a withering look at that brat Toma as he glared at me as I passed him.
"All of you Kurans think you're better than the rest of us purebloods because you were once our Kings and Queens before your grandfather ended the monarchy." He called after me. I stopped and looked over at him. "Toma-kun, if you're judging me based on your two experiences with me, then let me remind you both times I had spoken against you was from me protecting my honor against your accusations. You would be doing the same if the roles were reversed, would you not?" I asked.
"I'm referring to that tone you all use when talking to us." He hissed. "What the 'I mean business because we're discussing something serious' tone? Everyone but you uses that tone but again you seem to be the type to start picking fights with girls." I commented. "I.." He trailed off and growled in anger. I stepped outside and pinched the bridge of my nose...either one or four more years of this crap.
I looked up and when I heard some footsteps running up to me from behind and I looked over to see a servant girl for the council. "Iris~sama, can I talk to you for a moment?" She asked. I nodded and gave her a halfhearted smile. "What's on your mind?" I asked her. "Even though the hunters have wronged us and your family, you want to protect them? That doesn't make any sense!" She told me.
"And we have been trying to make some form of peace with them for a couple years now, and what better way to show we are earnest in this by not attacking? Even the students in the night class at Cross Academy do not wish to attack the hunters, and disapprove what Kaname did." I pointed out. "But they've been no doubt-" "They were taught to never trust hunters. I should know this, I was once in that class." I informed her.
"But isn't your boyfriend their future president?" She asked. I blushed brightly when she said that, how did she know that?!
"Um...yes but...how did you know that?"
I whispered. "From the soirée. I saw how you were around him and how you would look at some people silently challenging them to make a comment about him. I don't disapprove of your choice of partner, I just don't understand why you want to protect the hunters so badly." She admitted. "In a weird way they have been protecting us, and we have been trying to make peace with them. I'm not going to discuss this anymore, we're not attacking them and that is the end of story." I said firmly and headed out the gates.
"Feel like you're a broken record?" Zero asked, causing me to jump and look over at him to see him leaning against a brick column. "Don't sneak up like that yesh! How long have been standing there?" I asked. "Ten minutes, I was almost tempted to go
In there and grab you." He told me. I rolled my eyes and smiled at him. "I appreciate it, but at some point the meeting ended and turned into me chewing out Shizuku Toma." I assured him. He chuckled and shrugged off the wall. "He's still causing you issues?" He asked.
"Nothing I can't handle. He's just trying to be the playground bully."
