this is a rather short chapter. granted, I'm trying my hardest to squeeze in time to even do these new(er) chapters from episode six of the first 'Vampire Knight' anime. I miss this anime. the way it ended does it no justice whatsoever. I won't spoil anything, but I hated the anime's final ending with every bone in my body. I would break them all just to get on Viz Media's case about extending the anime all the way to the end of the manga and further into it with the chapters of the new sequel to the manga, 'Vampire Knight Memories'. I won't spoil anything from that either, but I will say that I'd liked the premise of it, at least.

disclamation: I don't own 'Vampire Knight' in the manga or in the anime. I can do nothing except write this fanfiction as I hate on Viz Media for the way they ended the 'Vampire Knight' anime. I hate Kaname Kuuran so much, I would kill him if I was in the series, myself, especially with what he does just to get the mindless followers that are the Night Class students off of his back. anyway, Matsuri Hino-san owns the manga and its sequel 'Vampire Knight Memories'. I haven't read much of the manga, but then again, I notice an insane amount of resemblance towards 'Vampire Knight' and my one true manga, 'Fruits Basket'. if you ask me, those are both far better love stories than 'Twilight' could have ever even hoped to be.


I suddenly remembered when Master first had to rescue my brother and me from a level E vampire. I flashed back to the aftermath of our grade school's own head nurse attacking us when she succumbed to her vampiric instincts. It was a terrifying memory.

In my flashback, Master lay on the ground with my own figure watching him while standing up. I wanted to apologize to Master for not understanding that I had to run.

Yours Truly, as a child: It was my fault, your eye. I'm sorry, Master. You told me to run, and I didn't.

Master only looked at me like he was about to get angry with me over not running away when he told me to.

Master, in the past: Huh?

Then, Master arose from his position of lying down on the ground like a dog.

Master, in the past (continued): Keep looking at me like that, and I'm gonna regret the fact that I risked my life to save your neck.

Then, he raised his hand towards my head and gave me a slight nudge in and about from within my hair. While the gesture always made me feel loved whenever my parents were away on vampire hunters' business, it did sort of always feel a little embarrassing, especially if such a gesture were to be seen by a girl.

Master, in the past (continued): Now, come on, I didn't save your life just so you could look at me like that.

That left one question on my mind.

Yours Truly, as a child: Master, why are vampires like that? Why do they try and hurt people?

Of course, even then, Master had an answer for me.

Master, in the past: Because they are pitiful beings who live only by instinct, and it is for that simple reason why we hunt them. That's why hunters like the Kiryuu Family and I exist. Zero, do you understand now? Vampires can only be our enemies.

With those last several words from Master from within my flashback, it finally came to an end and back within the present day, I continued to see Master staring at me with a gun in his hand.
