DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies :3
I thrusted Ravek's staff blade into a pureblood whom was about to attack a hunter from behind and heard an angry roar. I glanced over to see a servant-no doubt this was her master-and quickly removed Ravek from the pureblood so I can use the scythe end to slice off the oncoming level e's head. The hunter looked over at me in shock for a second but it then morphed into a look of gratitude. "You can go on about how I saved your life and you are eternally grateful later, there's still more vampires to kill." I told him.
"The gate is broken!" Yagari shouted. I darted through the battlefield to reach the gate knowing that means Zero is going to need backup, even if he did manage to convince Kaname to help protect the Academy. I saw a large group charging towards where there was two figures standing. I caught sight of silver hair on one of the figures which means Zero did manage to convince Kaname and they were extremely outnumbered. I used my telekinesis powers to lift a small handful of the hoard and forced them to collide into their comrades. I darted over towards Zero and Kaname and stood in front of them. "Looks like you could use a hand." I told them.
"How did they get through?!" Zero demanded as he shot a few vampires. "We decided to invite them over for tea! Can't you tell with our hospitality?" I retorted sarcastically as I sliced off the heads of some vampires that were sneaking up on Kaname whom was busy using his powers to explode the vampires that were leaping into the air to attack us.
I quickly morphed Ravek into it's rod form and placed it in it's holder while grabbing Silver Iris.
"Don't falter! Keep attacking the-" I shot the pureblood whom was giving the orders and used my powers to send the group we were fighting off to slam into the group that was charging in. I staggered a little and shook my head to gather my bearings. Okay that was a bad idea. "Don't over do it with your powers!" Zero scolded.
"Don't have to tell me twice..." I grumbled. The hunters managed to draw the attention of the group back on them and I was about to thank Kaname for giving us a hand when I noticed he was gone and Yuuki was darting towards me. "Where's Kaname?" We both asked each other in unison.
"You don't know?" We demanded each other. "I thought he was at the gate! Why isn't he here!" She demanded. "He was-" I stopped when I smelt Kaname's blood and judging by Yuuki's reaction, I wasn't the only one.
"Kaname!" Yuuki called out as she darted towards where the scent was coming from. Zero and I looked over at each other in shock though our attention was diverted towards a servant chasing after Yuuki.
"Craaaaaap!" I growled and chased after them. I tackled the servant down and pinned him down as I dug my knee hard into his back. I placed Silver Iris at his temple as he stared at me in shock. I pulled the trigger and got up as I dusted myself off from his remains.
I chased after Yuuki into a building and bolted down the stairs. I heard Yuuki's chocked up voice crying out Kaname's name in the room close to me and I charged inside. I froze at the sight of Yuuki cradling Kaname's cheek as he sat on his knees in front of the furnace. Judging by the look on his face I had a pretty good idea what's going on. He went through with his plan and placed his heart in the furnace and he is barely hanging onto whatever life he has left inside him.
I rushed over to them and knelt down next Yuuki. "Kaname, you jackass, you weren't supposed to...this shouldn't be happening right now dammit!" I hissed at him as I fought back the tears that were threatening to come out. "This shouldn't be happening." Zero hissed.
Dammit...as much as I hated Kaname and I always fought with him, and even though he has explained he's not actually my brother, I didn't want to lose my brother!
"Your heart..." Yuuki whispered. "It's inside...it's melting and then regenerating again and again in the furnace, so it will no longer regenerate inside me." Kaname whispered. "We have to get it out!" Yuuki gasped as she reached for the furnace. "YUUKI!" Kaname and I both screamed in unison as we reached for her. Kaname managed to get his arms around her and restrained her as he pulled her into his chest.
"It's too late...the core of my life has been shifted to within the furnace. Before long this body will stop moving and "I" will loose my consciousness and love as the many weapons that will be created." He told her.
"I was just making sure she didn't stick her bloody hands in there and get hurt...there was no need to get all morbid on us." I choked out.
"I don't want you to become like this! I-If only I wasn't born...if I never existed, the you "today" would definitely be a lot more different." Yuuki sobbed. My already breaking heart broke even more from hearing my sister wishing such things. "Don't say it as though I haven't received any happiness, Yuuki, do you know what you gave me when you were born? 'This time I will protect you till the end.', those were the feelings you gave me. And as the memories of my long and lonely past gradually resurfaced...you were the day of sunlight which showed me the way, the only warmth I felt. When it was time to let you go, I thought it'd be enough if I could watch over you, but you who lived as a human everyday became a radiant existence to me. How you desperately tried to help a young boy who was hurt, and how you cut your hair when you first entered high school to put away your affection for me...I love them all." He told her.
Something tells me this is where he talks morbid again...he can't seem to go five minutes without any morbid depressing talk.
"And I lost myself to my desires. Everything that came after killing the senate who had become parasites. Yuuki, they were supposed to happen after turning you into a human completely. I made a mistake, but I couldn't stop myself...to shake off those contradictions, I imposed many unreasonable demands on you-" "Try a shit ton on her." I interrupted bitterly. "Iris, not now." Yuuki begged between sobs.
"No she's right, Yuuki. I imposed so much of them upon you, I took away the smile that radiated from the bottom of your heart. At the very end I revealed my past to you, to gamble if you would reject me or not." Kaname confessed.
Ah we're starting to get morbid again...
"Don't say that it was all a mistake!" She cried. "The fact that I decided to protect you and the fact I made these mistakes...they were my choice, not yours and I don't regret them." He told her and he looked over at me. "You make me cry more, I'll punch you." I choked out bitterly. He chuckled a little and reached out and pulled me into his side. "I'm actually surprised at you, Iris, crying over me when we have fought so much." He told me. "Yes we fought a lot and I don't give a damn about your real identity...you're my brother!" I choked out.
I didn't think I would be upset when this happened, but here I am crying as this bastard's life slips away. The same man who had a hand in making my life miserable but also destroying everything Zero cared for.
