Rose sighed as she closed the book in front of her. It had been a few days since her promise with Zero and she felt as if she was growing closer to him, if only just a little. She suddenly saw Yuki running towards the two of them in a hurry. Rose frowned at this and asked "Yuki? What's wrong?"
Yuki stopped at had to catch her breath for a second before she continued "I went...to the...night class...and..." Rose told her to take deep breaths and she continued "I went to the night class and Ichijo said that Kaname hasn't left his room for three straight days! What if he's sick? What if he's depressed? What if..."
Rose stopped Yuki by putting her hands on her shoulders. "Yuki calm down! I'm sure Kaname is fine..." But why was he in his room for that long? Was he sulking? Rose glanced at Zero and sighed "Yuki...would it make you feel better if I went and checked on him?" Yuki shook nodded her head so fast she thought it was going to fall off and Rose glanced at an unhappy Zero once more. Was he worried about her?
A little later Rose knocked on the familiar wooden doors of the moon dorm. The door opened to reveal Ichijo who looked rather surprised at the hunter. "Oh hello! I didn't expect you here Miss Day class president. what can I help with?" Rose smiled at the vampire, she already liked him better than Hanabusa that's for sure. "Hello Ichijo, I was wondering if I could speak to Kaname?"
Ichijo's smile faltered as he answered "I'm so sorry to say but Kaname isn't taking any visitors today plus we have a guest coming later tonight." Rose sighed as she realized this wouldn't be as easy as she thought "Please Ichijo, I only need to see him for a minute, and then I'll go away."
Ichijo, being the kind person he his, fell right into Rose's trap as he caved in "Alright fine...but if he doesn't want to see you then you will leave." Rose smiled in response, knowing she had won "Of course, thank you Ichijo, no...thank you Takuma."
Then she moved past him and decsented the stairs. She paused at the door at knocked loudly, there was no response and Rose knew he was ignoring her. She was becoming annoyed and shouted "Wow..and I thought a pureblood was better then this, stop sulking like a child and let me in." She turned to Takuma who had a look of horror. How she say something like that to Kaname? He stepped even further back when he saw the door open to reveal the king himself.
He looked at Rose and moved aside to let her enter, leaving Takuma outside. Rose stepped into the dimly lit room she knew so well and said "Why are you being like this? Yuki is worried about you."
Kaname sat down on the sofa in the center of the room and gestured her to sit next to him. Rose knew she wasn't going to get anywhere unless she compiled so she plopped herself down, feeling the heat radiate off of him. Then Rose tried to explain herself, "What I'm doing will help both of us in the long run, you told me to control his thirst and that's exactly what I'm doing."
Kaname refused to look at her like a child and this made Rose even anger "Why are you so angry? I'm doing what you wanted, is it because I told him about me, is that why?"
Just then she felt herself be thrown onto the sofa by Kaname who was hovering above her. "Why is it that he can touch you when I can't?" Rose refused to answer and Kaname continued "Is it because you are giving simply? That you pity him, is that why?"
Rose looked him in disgust at what he suggested "Of course not! I'm doing to help both of us."
Kaname stood still for a moment until he collapsed under her. She tired to struggle away but he grabbed onto her waist tightly. "I know this will benefit both of use but I just can't stand the thought of him touching you, biting you."
Then he hugged her waist tighter at whispered "Stay like this, even if its just for a short while."
Rose sighed and nodded her head in agreement as she felt Kaname's body relax under her. She bought one hand up and run it through him soft locks like she used to do. He relaxed even more as he felt the pounding in her chest, he was always at ease with her. The sound of his soft breathing made her eyes drift shut and forget about her worries.
Rose's eyes opened when she felt a threatening presence coming towards the dorms. She quickly moved to stand up when she realized that Kaname was still on top of her. He to felt the presence and climbed off of her.
She then realized the smell and shuttered. No it couldn't be...he was going to ruin her cover. Kaname realized this and grabbed her hand. "Don't worry, Just stay here." He then moved towards the door and left Rose on the now empty sofa.
After about a minute Rose got nervous and went closer to the door until she could her the conversation below. Honestly, it was absolutely sickening listen to a member of the high conical talk about purebloods, how they were pure and never tainted with blood. Like they were some kind of God's. Then her blood really boiled when she heard him ask for blood. It was absolutely disgraceful. She realized she had enough and made her way to stop what was happening. She heard him say "I hope one day that I was be able to partake in the beauty that is through your veins." and Rose moved to the top of the stairs and shouted "That's enough!"
Everyone turned to the hunter in shock, why was she here and what was she thinking?! Ichijo's grandfather looked practically interested at the new arrival. "And who might you be?"
Rose descended the stairs when her hand on her bow. "My name is Rose Belcourt from the hunter association and what you have asked just now is against your code."
Ichijo's grandfather smirked at this information "The Rose Belcourt? I one who slaughtered thousands of our kind?"
Rose gave a crooked grin and answered "Yes, and since you have heard of me I ask you to restrain such behavior."
Ichijo's grandfather laughed at this and nodded "I see,very well, I only came to visit my dear grandson anyway, I will leave for now."
He as he turned to leave he stopped right in front of Rose and whispered "You remind me of someone else I know." Rose flinched and looked him dead in the eyes "I don't know what you mean."
Ichijo's grandfather laughed and said "Of course, my apologies, it was foolish of me to think you were that person."
Then as he opened the door they were greeted by Zero and Yuki. Zero glared at Kaname as Yuki explained that they were instructed by the headmaster to escort Ichijo's grandfather to his office.
Before they turned to leave Zero grabbed Rose's arm and stated "The headmaster wants us to, something about a job." And then he pulled her out of the dormitory all while glaring at an angry pureblood.
As Zero and Rose moved into the dimly lit office, they found the headmaster himself sitting at his desk. They walked up to the table and he slid a envelope in there direction "This is an order from the hunter's association to dispose of a level E vampire, and it's for you Zero."
Zero quickly grabbed the envelope and looked at the contents, it seemed like this vampire had just recently fallen to Level E status. The headmaster looked above his eyes and gestured to Rose "This will be your first assignment as a vampire hunter so I'm going to have Rose go with you, for protection."
Zero's head snapped back to Rose and she looked down. He didn't really want her to come with him since he was perfectly able to take care of himself, but on the other hand she was a level S hunter. In the end Zero agreed and followed Rose out of the academy gates.
They approached the abandoned building with caution as they looked around at the dust and decay. Rose sighed to herself and said "You take the inside and I'll go around the back to corner it." Zero nodded his head and stepped inside the building, descending the old stair case in front of him. He pulled out his gun and heard a loud chuckling coming from the corner. He stepped closer to find a figure hunched in the corner, drinking a teenage human girl dry.
He pointed the gun towards the creature and stated "As an order from the hunter's association you are to be executed, Level E." The vampire shook with laugher and held the young girl close to him. "You don't know how good it feels, when you pierce your fangs in a young human girl, it's like no other feeling in the world." Zero was beginning to be sucked in by his words that the vampire was able to dodge his gun and run towards him.
Suddenly something zoomed through the air and the vampire screamed in agony, before quickly running down the opposite hall. Zero turned to find Rose standing there with her bow out and ready to aim. She ran to Zero and scolded "You would've been dead. You have to clear your mind of what they say, don't get distracted, that's rule one."
Zero nodded his head in response and the both of them went after the vampire, that is until Rose stopped when she smelled a familiar scent. "Yuki..."
Zero looked over at her and then they heard a blood curdling scream come from the opposite end of the building. They both raced toward the scream and found Yuki being held by the Level E. Zero ran in front of Rose and shot the vampire in the shoulder releasing Yuki while shouting "Let go of her!"
The vampire backed away and found Rose standing in the corner "Ohhh it must be my lucky day, so many beautiful girls to drink from." Rose gave a sarcastic laugh and answered "Sorry but I don't think I'm on the menu."
Then the vampire lunged at her but Rose dogged him easily. She shot an arrow at him but missed her target. He lunged at her again and was able to grab her arm. Thinking he had won, Rose used this advantage to use her other hand to release her, and twisted it behind his back.
Rose looked over at Yuki and wished she didn't have to see any of this, in fact she was already shaking from being attacked. But she knew that this was her job so she twisted his arm back even tighter until they heard a loud crack.
The level E screamed in agony as he slummed to the floor and Rose put her foot of his chest. "The fact that you kidnapped and killed four young girls is unforgiving." The vampire looked up at her and shuttered at her eyes, they had a strong intent to kill. But even so the vampire held on to his pride. "You should have been there when I sunk my teeth into them, how they cried in agony.. and how they.."
The vampire was interrupted when Rose stomped her foot down on his right leg and another crack was heard throughout the house. The vampire screamed once more and Rose smirked at his pain, this is what he deserves. Then she glanced at Zero and pointed "Finish him, this was your job after all."
Zero slowly nodded and raised his gun to the level E before shooting a bullet into its skull. The vampire turned to dust around them and then he was gone. Rose put away her weapon and placed at Yuki who was absolutely terrified of her. Well, it made sense, she did just break a vampire's bones in font of her.
She paused when she heard movement and saw Rima and Senri in the corner watching them. Zero could tell they were feeling a little uneasy with Rose after what they had just witnessed. "Wow that was quite a show Miss Hunter, but you took our prey."
Rose shrugged and began to walk past them " Then you should've been there sooner, It's not my problem." Then she turned to Zero and asked. "Well, are you with me or do you wanna sleep in this place?"
Zero and Yuki looked at each other and all of a sudden realized that they just witnessed another side of Rose, a darker side. Now it all made sense when Yagari accused her of helping murder thousands of vampires. In that moment she had no sympathy and compassion, just intent. Truthfully it kind of scared Zero to think she had become like this, so terrifying. But in another way he wanted to learn more about the hunter that was a vampire so he followed her out of that abandoned house.
A long ways away sat a little girl listening to the hunter's confrontation and she giggled with joy "Haha! I found Zero! Oh, and Rose to, now I can kill two birds with one stone!"
Then she looked over and her silver haired companion in the corner. "And look how strong she's gotten, so much hatred...it's absolutely wonderful!"
She then placed her white hands on the arms of the sofa and gave a twisted smirk revealing her sharp fangs. "It's decided! I wanna go to Cross Academy to!"
