Chapter 13

Rose walked towards the woods for a short time until she saw a figure in the distance. She approached it when she felt it. Shizuka's blood mixing with her's. She started to become light headed and everything around her started to spin. The one word she could make out before falling to the ground was "help."

Ichiru kneed by his master and wept. He knew she was dying but he didn't want to believe it. "Please, take my blood Shizuka."

Shizuka closed her eyes and put a hand on his cheek. "No, I won't turn you into a vampire. Besides, it's too late."

Before he could say anything else she broke into a million pieces, almost like glass. He whiped his eyes and turn to find his big brother staring at him. "You're too late.I wanted to give her my blood but even in the end she refused."

Zero gazed at his brother in sadness when Shizuka's blood filled his senses as he fell to the floor, everything was burning as he grasped his throat, hoping for some comfort but finding none. "She cared about you, she didn't want you to turn into a vampire. Even I have people I don't want to see turned into a vampire."

Zero gasped once more as another wave of desire hit him. He needed Rose, needed her blood to calm him, but she was nowhere to be seen. Ichiru looked at his brother in pity. "I won't kill you, it seems you have already fallen to level E."

Then his younger brother stepped over him and let Zero fall to the fall. He gasped in pain and the waves of intensity were growing to strong. He was starting to lose himself.

Yuki ran past through the halls and stopped when she saw the door open, she rushed in and only found the Headmaster staring at her. Yuki looked around in confusion and worry. "Where is Zero?"

The Headmaster looked down in sadness and sighed "He got hurt Yuki, but we are taking care of him, just a precaution.

Yuki gazed at her adoptive father and was unsure about his news.

The next day Yuki went about class like usual but Rose and Zero where no where to be seen. No one would tell her what had happened to them, not even her adoptive father. She was starting to get worried.

Kain, Hanabusa and Takuma gathered around Kaname as they discussed the news of last night. Kain gave his report of the situation. "The disintegrated body of Shuzika Hio was all that remained. And the Headmaster told us that he had taken care of Zero,That's it that's what I witnessed.."

Kaname put his hand up to his chin and sighed. "I see, Kiryu has enough reason to kill that woman, but I don't think that he would do something so rash….However it can't be helped if it appeared that he had in fact, killed her."

Hanabusa looked down in fear, in which Kaname sensed. "What's wrong, Adiou?"

Adiou lifted his head and tried to even his tone. "No, nothing."

Kaname nodded his head and continued his speech. "In any case, I must report all of this to the senate. It's a fact that someone has committed the greatest taboo. He have killed a pureblood. It's tragic. I wonder if anyone understood her."

Hanabusa and Kain walked outside and Kain noticed that Hanabusa wasn't acting like himself. "I can by the way that you're acting, Hanabusa that something is bothering you."

Hanabusa looked down in uncertainty and questioned. "How much do you know about Rose Belcourt?"

Kain looked surprised at this. "Not much, she's the highest level hunter of her age and has a record for some pretty gruesome kills of Level E's and that's about it. Why are you asking about a hunter?"

Hanabusa gulped at Kain's description. Pretty gruesome kills. A day ago his would've looked at him like he was crazy but now, he knew more. "Do you know anything about her having any relation to Shuzika Hio?"

Kain turned his head in confusion. "What? No, she's just a human Hanabusa. The Hio family liked to keep to themselves. Why? You think Rose knew Shuzika?"

Hanabusa opened his mouth and then shut it again. "No of course not, never mind."

Kain dropped the topic but Hanabusa's mind kept running. He needed to learn more about Rose.

Kaname pulled up to the old abandoned mansion that Rose and him had visited a couple months back and walked inside. He was immediately met with Takuma. "How is she?"

Takuma turned head toward the room behind him and sighed. "Not good. I don't know if she will survive this."

Kananme pushed past him and opened the door. He was instantly hit with a strong powerful aura. He walked over and found Rose chained to the bedpost. She was sweating as her breaths came out in heavy raspy gasps. Kanme shook his head at the scene and his heart broke. "You shouldn't have drank her blood. You know you're body can't handle it."

Rose thrashed again the chain and gasped. "I need it, to destroy him."

Takuma walked over to Kaname and whispered. "Shuzuki's blood is pushing into her system which wouldn't be a problem normally but… No matter how much she acts like a vampire,her soul is human. Shuzika's blood is crushing her humanity until there is nothing left. I don't know how long it will take to settle, if it will."

Kaname sighed as he looked at Rose. She almost looked like a Level E and made him dispear.

The amount of pain Rose was experiencing was indescribable. She could barely make out the words of the two blurry figures next to her. She heard them talk about her death but she knew one thing, she was not going to die. She couldn't die until that monster's head was on a silver platter, she didn't care what it took. Another rush of pain went through her as she screamed out in agony. She felt a strong hand reach out to her but she pushed it away, causing the stranger to fly across the room.

Kaname landed in the wall behind him as Takuma ran over to him "Kaname! Are you ok?!"

Kaname stood up and brushed himself off. "It's okay Takuma. She didn't know what she's doing. She can't control her new powers yet."

Takuma sighed and looked at Rose "What happened to Zero?"

At the sound for Zero's name Rose's senses cleared for just a moment as she pulled against her chain. "Zero! I have to save him, he's probably dying somewhere I have to…."

She was stopped by another wave of pain and fell backwards. Kaname carefully approached her and stated. "Rose, you can't go anywhere,you're arua is still too strong."

Rose didn't like this idea and pulled at her chains "I have to! He's my responsibility! I have to!"

She could feel her anxiety rising and suddenly the glass window behind her shattered in a million pieces. She realized what she had done and started to cry. "I'm a monster can I can't even save him."

Kaname ignored Takuma's shouts and wrapped his arms around her, rubbing her head to give her comfort. He then whispered into her ear. "Shh it's okay. I'll make everything alright. You just stay here and calm down ok?"

Then before she could blink, he was gone from her sight.

In another part of town, The Headmaster and Yagari opened the door to where Zero was kept. He was also chained up, lying on the floor with a anti vampire seal binding him. Yagari looked at the floor is sadness. "I tried everything, but it's no use."

Suddenly Zero sprung to life and lunged at the two. He gasped in pain as he looked at the Headmaster. "Kill me...please."

Yagari reached for his gun but Cross stopped him. "You can't give up Zero, Yuki is waiting for you, Rose is waiting for you."

Zero's eyes widened at the thought of the blonde hunter. He missed her. "Rose…."

Then another wave hit him and he grunted in pain. The Headmaster sighed and began to walk away.

Once they were gone Zero heard a voice in the corner say "I'm amazed that you haven't completely lost yourself yet."

Zero gazed into the furious eyes of Kaname Kuran. Kaname stepped closer and continued "Rose is worried about you, you know. Begged me to come check up on you."

Zero shook at the purebloods wrath and placed his head in his hands. He was letting down both Rose and Yuki. He was the disgrace.

Kaname bit into her hand and brought it up to Zero's mouth, only to have him push it away. "That thirst is more painful than death and still you try to fight it."

Suddenly Kaname grabbed the corner of Zero's collar and forced him to look at him. "My blood is the purest blood that runs through a vampire's veins. It will prolong your life and cause the shadows of madness to stay away.

Zero tried to look away but Kaname grabbed his face and forced him to meet his eyes once more. "Understand one thing. I am not doing this for you. I am doing it for the ones I hold most dear. Rose and Yuki."

Kaname then forced Zero head towards his neck and spoke with comand. "Now drink my blood."

Zero was shocked by his command and tried to ignore the pull, but slowly found himself giving in as he bit into the pureblood's skin.

HAHA I AM DONE WITH SEASON 1!

DECIDED TO CARRY ON INTO SEASON 2 BECAUSE THERE ARE SOME SECRETS I HAVEN'T TOLD YET.

So Rose has a human soul? I wonder what that means…..she does like to keep secrets.
