Season 2

Chapter 1

Yuki pushed the students back like any usual day but they started to overpower her. She realized that she was nothing without Zero and Rose.

Weeks had gone by and she hadn't heard anything about the two of them. She was starting to become worried once more for her friends. The doors began to open and she bumped into a student behind her. Assuming it was Kaname she bowed. "I'm so sorry Kaname.."

But when she looked up it wasn't Kaname but rather Zero that looked at her. "Watch where you're going."

Yuki's eyes grew wide as she gazed at Zero for the first time in weeks. There was so many things she wanted to ask him, how was he? Where did he go? But before she heard say anything Zero walked past her. The rest of the day class was less than thrilled that he was back.

Zero looked around the area and Yuki questioned his actions. Then her heart dropped when she realized what or rather who he was looking for. "She's been gone for weeks Zero, like you."

Zero turned to Yuki in shock. "Where did she go?"

She hung her head in regret knowing that she didn't have an answer "I don't know. They didn't tell me anything."

Zero saw Kaname looking at the scene and stomped up to him. He would know where she was. "Where is Rose? I know you know."

Kaname smirked at his annoyance and just walked past him. He still had ill feelings towards the almost Level E. "She will be back soon."

He wanted to ask more but the night class started to walk away from him.

Later that night Yuki was walking through the corridor when she saw a tall familiar figure. She ran up to him and slapped him on the back.

Zero turned around in annoyance and Yuki pointed a finger at him "Where have you been? I worked really hard without you or Rose around so you better work twice as hard tonight."

Zero was about to fire back when he saw Yuki lift up her hair. "Come on, aren't you craving it? You didn't have any at the medical clinic so for today only I'll give you an extra helping."

He immediately turned away from her and cried "Don't be stupid."

Honestly he was feeling the best he's been. It must've been Kaname's blood that had done it. But whatever it was he wasn't feeling any cravings or attacks.

Yuki was walking alone when she thought she heard a rustle over the fence. She quickly jumped other it and was met with a tall man with glasses. "Good evening Miss, this is Cross Academy correct?"

Yuki felt the ominous presence behind her and knew what he was. "You're a vampire."

The man chuckled and brought his hand up to his face "Yes, and you are a guardian. Now,"

Suddenly his hands became claws and rushed towards Yuki. "Where is the other guardian!"

The man lunged towards her but instead was stopped by Zero. "What do you want with me?"

The man smiled at her prey and pushed against Zero's his hand. "Zero Kiryu, The senate, the highest governing of vampires has given an order, and I am here to execute you for the murder of the pureblood vampire, Shizuka Hio."

Suddenly a voice could be heard in the tree's that sounded sarcastic. "Oh, here we go with the senate, making assumptions again."

Everyone turned to find a familiar blonde haired girl smirking back and them. Zero's heart stopped when they connected eyes. There was so much he wanted to say to her, to ask her. Where had she been these past weeks?

The man wasn't enjoying her tone to much as he turned to her. "And who might you be that you can accuse the senate of such things."

Rose walked forward and placed her hand on her bow, tapping it lightly "Me? Aww well it's so nice of you to ask, my name is Rose Belcourt."

The man back away a bit when he heard her name. "Rose Belcourt? The Rose Belcourt?"

Rose smirked and pulled out an arrow from her back. "Yep. And I have to tell you that I've grown attached to this academy so I would appreciate if we didn't spill blood on school grounds, very messy you know."

The man was growing tired of her games and scoffed. "What makes you think I would listen to you? We protect our pureblood masters and the only way Zero can atone for his crime, is to sacrifice himself.

The man went towards Zero again but he had other plans. His eyes turned glowing red and bend the man's hand so far back that it broke. Both Yuki and Rose were shocked at this. Then Zero lifted the man above the ground and slammed him into the dirt. He pointed his bloody rose at the man and before he shot him, the man spoke "Even if you kill me, more of us will just keep coming."

Zero didn't listen to the man's threatened and shot the vampire, turning him into dust. Suddenly a hundred more vampires appeared from behind the trees.

Rose moved close to the group and readied her bow. "Well, he wasn't wrong about that."

The air stopped when Rose saw the night class students gather around them. Kaname emerged from the shadows and she looked away from his gaze. The rest of the senate noticed Kaname's aura and bowed. "Lord Kaname."

Kaname stepped forward and spoke evenly "It was inevitable for Shizuka to be hunted down by Zero. Tell me, why to you all feel so strongly about Zero's execution?"

Hanabusa locked eyes with Rose and felt a chill run down his spine. Why was she back?

The Senate bowed their heads and answered Kaname's question "Lord Kaname, if a pureblood such as yourself stands in the way, we can not complete our mission."

Kaname looked at the Senate in question. "Perhaps you don't realize how dear this academy is to me? I don't want it to be spoiled by foolish acts of vengeance, formed by the senate's henchman."

His eyes turned a deep crimson as one of members fell to the ground in pain. "Leave now."

The senate looked at each other and muttered "You're choice to protect Zero Kiryu will be reported back to the senate, Lord Kaname."

Then they disappeared from sight. Rose stretched her arms and yawned once she knew the scene was over. "Ahh man. First day back and we already got the senate on our tail."

She then turned to Kaname and stated. "Could you have shown up a little faster?"

The night class growed at the hunter for using such language to a pureblood. Kaname just responded by answering. "I suppose I could have, my apologies. It's good to have you back Rose."

Rose lightly smiled in his direction which caught the attention of the entire class. "Good to be back."

Suddenly Yuki pushed past her and cried "Why are you saying that Zero killed Shizuka when you know she didn't."

Kaname turned at her and deflected the question "Zero had plenty of reason to."

This went about for about five minutes before Yuki realized that Kaname wasn't going to defend Zero.

Rose looked away at the altercation when she felt a hand on her arm, dragging her away. "We need to talk."

She let Zero lead her through the woods until they were alone. Then he asked her the question he had been waiting to ask since he saw her. "Where were you?"

Rose looked away and smiled. "Ahh The Headmaster had me go to some presidential summit or something. Honestly it was so boring, I wished I was here."

Zero didn't believe her story but he didn't want to pry right after she met up with her. Suddenly Zero noticed that Rose was starting to look pale. He grabbed her shoulders and questioned "Rose? Are you ok?"

Rose was about to nod her head when she felt a strong pain in her stomach. She crouched down and felt Zero's blood running through his veins. She wasn't allowed to drink any blood during her time at the mansion because it would've corrupt the process and just realized that she was absolutely starving. Her eyes turned red as she tried to calm the attacks. "It's okay, it'll pass. It always does."

Zero noticed her fumble in her jacket for something and then noticed her pull out a box of blood tablets. She shakily brought a few to her mouth and then immediately started to cough. Zero noticed this. "The blood tablets, you can't take them either?"

Rose put her hand out and then shoveled a few more, forcing them to stay down. "I used to not be able to, I've learned to force them."

His looked at her in sadness and pushed her hand away from her mouth. "You don't have to take those, here."

Then he moved in closer to her so they were only inches apart. Rose felt the warm blood coursing through his veins as she moved closer, then she stopped herself. "I can't. Look I know you don't really want to do this soo…"

He stopped her words by placing his lips onto her's. She gasped at the impact and turned to pull away but the feeling was indescribable. She separated herself and quickly moved down to his neck, her tongue slowly licking the spot and then sinking her sharp fangs into his skin. His honey scented blood filled her as she tried to ignore the things going around her. This was wrong, so wrong. After all, she murdered Shuzika Hio and then blamed him. She promised herself that when she returned she wouldn't get involved but then his lips connected with hers. Then everything she had told herself melted away and she forgot her problems.

When she had enough she slowly lifted her face and rested it on his chest. Then she whispered. "We can't do this."

Zero looked down and her and questioned. "What do you mean?"

Rose lifted her head to look into his eyes. "Whatever this is, we can't do it."

She slowly stood up and he grabbed her arm. "But what if I want to?"

She looked around and sighed "Zero, I am the thing you hate most. I am not human, I am beast in human form. A vampire."

His tightened the hold on her arm. "I don't care, you're different. You're not a beast in human form. You are just Rose."

She heart skipped a beat when she heard those words. All her life she had told herself that she was a beast, a monster but here was someone telling her that she mattered. Sure Kaname had said that numerous times but she alway felt like he had to, for reasons. This felt like his choice.

Rose turned her head, trying to hide a blush "Look, I'm saving you the trouble later."

Zero wasn't having it as she tried to walk away. He grabbed onto her wrist once more "Just think about it."

Then he let her go and walked the other direction. Once he was gone she rested her head on a tree and sighed. "What have you gotten yourself into?"

Kaname was walking up the step to the moon dorm when he felt an annoying presence behind him. "What do you want?"

Zero stepped out from behind a tree and crossed his arms. "You did it. It was you who killed Shizuka after I shot her, I heard purebloods have special powers, so you took them?"

Kaname didn't even bother to look in his direction. "I heard? So you have no idea. You realize my blood won't save you forever, it's only temporary. I pity you Zero."

Zero narrowed his eyes in annoyance and turned his head. "Where was Rose these past weeks?"

Kaname chuckled a bit and finally turned to him. "She is no longer your concern. The job has been completed."

Zero stepped away from the tree and grabbed Kaname's collar. "What do you mean?"

Kaname narrowed his eyes at him and pushed his hands off "Listen Zero, I am tolerating you for two reasons. I suggest that you give up on Rose because in the end she will turn to me."

Then he started to walked away but stopped suddenly "Wait. I just thought of something. My blood is running through your vains. So that means that it's really me protecting the ones I love."
