Chapter 11

Yuki walked up the steps to the old dormitory. Shizuka wanted her to kill Kananme to save Zero but she couldn't bring herself to do it. But luckily there was another way to save him.

She opened the doors in front of her and her Maria sitting, waiting for her. "Have you decided."

Yuki stepped closer and kneeled before her. "If I can help Zero by offering myself to you, then I will."

Shizuka looked down at the human and smiled. Then she grabbed Yuki's hand and brought her finger towards her mouth. She stopped when Yuki continued to stare at her. "What is it?"

Yuki looked away in response. "I'm just happy that vampires find my blood so delicious. Because now I can save Zero"

Shizuka laughed at this. Then she grabbed Yuki's arm and slammed her into the sofa. "It was me who twisted his world and drove Zero to disappear."

Suddenly the sound of bells could be heard and Yuki looked up to see the masked man from a few nights ago, holding a body. Shizuka stood up and started to walk other to him. "That is my real body. It's easy to save Zero. All he his to do is drink the blood of his master, my blood."

The body sprung to life and smiled. Yuki shook with fear as she felt the aura of a pureblood princess. Maria's body fell to the ground lifeless as Yuki stared into the eyes of the true Shizuka. "After he drinks it, then Zero will not fall to a level E. Now you will offer yourself to me, I need more power. For I am being hunted."

Shizuka sat down beside Yuki. "You're being hunted? By the vampire hunters? I understand you need power but if you then decide to attack the students at the other academy I…"

The Pureblood cut Yuki off and leaned in closer. "All I need is your blood. You so understand what happens when a pureblood bites a human?"

Yuki nodded her head in understanding as Shizuka leaned in closer to her neck. She closed her eyes but Suddenly she heard Zero burst into the room. "Shizuka, let Yuki go!"

Yuki immediately stood up and stood in front of the pureblood "No Zero! You don't understand! The only way you can control those urges and stop from being a level E is to drink her blood!"

Zero drew back for only a moment at Yuki's words. "Even if what Yuki says is true, I can still beat you from an inch of your life."

Shizuka smiled at his threat and answered. "She girl has tamed you."

Zero felt a shock of electricity up his spine when she spoke. Shizuka noticed. "Are you happy to finally hear you're master's voice? You can not help but obey me Zero. Now that I'm back in my own body, my voice has the power to bind you. Now, keep holding Yuki"

Zero found that he couldn't let go of her arm. He could even speak anymore. Everything in his body told him to please his master and it made him struggled against him but her protests were not getting through to him.

Shizuka walked closer to Yuki and narrowed her eyes. "And you, you think you're blood would be enough? This body has been ravinesh for years."

Yuki's eyes widened at the pureblood's betrayal as Shizuka bit into Zero. "I'm punishing him for being too attached to you. Oh...and little Rose also. You're blood tells me you think so highly of her. What if I asked you to kill her? I know you would do it, because you can't disobey me. Do you remember the song I sang before I murdered your family?" She then started to sing a quiet tune, cause Zero to become more entranced with her, even Yuki was powerless.

Zero tried to struggle against the pull that was suggesting to kill Rose. He would not let that happen. He was able to get control of himself once more and grabbed the purebloods neck. He tried to squeeze his hand but he was unable to. Even his finger on his gun wouldn't move. "You can't do it Zero. You can't even bring yourself to pull the trigger.

He struggled until he was able to shoot his gun into his leg. The shock brought him out of his trance and was able to shoot three bullets into Shizuka's body. Blood slowly dripped from each of them as Shizuka laughed. "This is not enough to kill me. Those eyes say so much. He doesn't even need to think. He knows he wants to destroy himself with me."

Suddenly a sword flew across the room and landed in Zero's arm. The masked man questioned her. "Shizuka, why are you playing these game? I will not have you die."

Shizuka smiled at her servant and moved to walk out the door. "Don't interfere." then she left the room.

Shizuka entered a quiet room and felt a presence in shadows. "Ah, I alway knew it would be you, Rose."

Rose stepped out of the darkness, still wearing her ball dress from Kaname. The time of games is over Shizuka."

The pureblood smiled and walked closer. "That's funny coming from you. You and Kaname do nothing but make games. And I assume I am also a piece?"

She turned and realized that Rose was in longer in front of her. Then she felt a small hand grip her back and realized it was her. "Not at first no. You are not my end goal. But lately, you've gotten in the way."

Rose leaned in closer and bit Shizuka's neck which cause her to chuckle. "You have everyone fooled. Thinking you are a sweet innocent human. Only a few know that you are a cold hearted killer."

Rose lifted her head up, her eyes crimson from Shizuka's blood. "Call it what you may, but nothing will stop me from destroying him."

Suddenly Rose pulled her hand through Shizuka's chest and grabbed onto her heart. "You know, Kaname originally wanted to do this but I decided I shouldn't run away anymore. I shouldn't run from the darkness that is approaching."

Shizuka gasped at the impact and smiled "You truly aren't Isabelle anymore. It seems you have completely devoured what was left of her."

Rose smirked and ripped Shizuka's head out of her chest. The pureblood fell to the ground gracefully. "I never wanted to do this Shiz, we used to be close."

Shizuka coughed and smiled at the memory. "Almost like sisters." She then looked out the window as Rose crouched down next to her. "Will you sing the song we used to sing as children, one last time?"

Rose smiled and nodded her head.

Meanwhile everyone noticed the change in atmosphere and realized that a pureblood was dying. Zero noticed this also and ran to the strong smell of blood. Suddenly he heard a soft melody, the song he always hated. It was the song Shizuka sang that day when she murdered his family.

The melody made him slump to the ground in an attack. He craved her blood and was slowly going insane because of it. He stumbled across the hall as the song grew louder, then another voice joined in. He gasped as standing was becoming a problem. This was it. He was descending into a Level E.

Rose smiled as she finished her song. Shizuka was starting to disappear and Rose whipped away a single tear going down her face. Shizuka smiled. "You know, now that you have drunk the blood of a pureblood you have gained new powers, but also a darkness will follow you."

Rose closed her eyes and began to stand up. "I knew that before."

Then she heard a presence approach and decided to was time to leave. Before she disappeared Rose turned to her and gave her a sad smile. "Good Night, Shizuka."

Unnoticed, Hanabusa covered his mouth in shock at what he just witnessed. Rose murdered Shizuka Hio.

Ichiru slowly walked into the room to see his master lying on the floor. His eyes dropped as he whispered. "What did they do to you?"
