Chapter 7

The Scarlet Maze

Yuuki and I were in the gun room watching Zero shooting his target. Yuuki plugged her ears while I was listening to the gun shooting, but somewhere my mind wonders the night with Kaname.

'When did you stop...? I hope that what you are trying to protect...does not end up hurting you.' I sighed leaning against the door touching the bandages that was over my neck. I felt eyes on me as I looked at Zero staring at me. I tilted my head at him calmly.

"How long are you going to stand there?" Zero ask getting rid of the empty can of bullets to put in new ones.

"Excuse me for being worried about you." I replied closing my eyes and crossing my arms. "You feeling all right now."

"Must be hard being my guardian." Zero ask loading his gun. I open my eyes standing up straight looking at him.

'Geez...' I sighed once more not wanting to argue with him. "Are you okay?" I asked him. Zero didn't answer me as he shoot his gun creating a line splitting the paper. "I'll take that as yes."

"Stop wearing that neck bandage." Zero says looking at his gun. I looked from the paper to him. "You make it look so obvious." Yuuki was looking at me and Zero.

"It's like I want to put this around me neck either. It's the only thing I can think of so no one can peel off like Aidou-senpai did." I replied touching the bandage. "If someone were to see..."

"Like Kuran Kaname?" Zero asked. Yuuki's eyes and my eyes were wide as we looked at Zero. "I guess if you had choice of who sucks your blood... you'd have preferred Kuran Kaname to me, wouldn't you?" My mouth continue to open and close until I finally spoke.

"W-What gives you that idea?!" I asked not realizing I shouted at Zero. Yuuki was surprised from my shouting but not Zero as he glances at me.

"I could tell from your blood." Zero replied. My eyes widen even more as my calm expression broke. Zero touched his lips remembering the taste of my blood. "It had that taste." My bangs covered my eyes as I walked towards Zero grabbing Bloody Rose from him.

"Vict-" He was cut off as I fired the target on the heart. Yuuki's and Zero's eyes were wide seeing my shoulders shaking.

"That's so cruel..." I put the gun down looking angry at Zero. "Why did you had to bring him up?! I hate you!" I walked pass shocked Zero and surprised Yuuki walking out of the room. 'Why...? Why does he continue to hurt me by thinking of Kaname-senpai?!'


I kept on running and running until I stopped into a room from the Headmaster. I looked down sadly at the floor. 'He didn't have to say it like that...' I shook my head walking to the coach laying my head on the pillow. 'I know better than anyone just what Kaname-senpai means to me...And it hurts just thinking about it...Yet me...Kaname-senpai...'

My heart was beating fast as my eyes were wide siting up. 'This feeling...'

Are you going to betray him? Will you avert your eyes?

'This woman's voice...'

Are you going to consign everything to oblivion?

I shook my head left and right putting my hands to my ears. 'Stop it...'

I'm scared...

My eyes widen as I looked around seeing a little me pass me.

Scary vampires will eat us...!

Purity is evil... Turn your eyes from the truth...

I put my hands back on my ears shaking my head left and right. 'Stop it...'

I'm scared...

Not even realizing the foolishness of that...

I'm scared...

My heart was beating even faster and my eyes widen hearing these voices.

I'm scared...

'No...No...Stop it!' I closed my eyes.


Flashback

I open my eyes to see the headmaster talking in front of me. "I understand. I'll take this child in." I looked down to see pudding in my hands not paying attention to his talk. "Since you're the son left by my friends to whom I was indebted." I giggle the pudding poking at with my small finger. I noticed the Headmaster looking at me sighing. "This child doesn't even seem to understand the pudding is something you eat."

"Yes." I heard voice beside me to see a young Kaname looking at the Headmaster. On the other side of Kaname is Yuuki staring at him also. "It seems they lost all of their memory." I tilt my head a little at the young Kaname. Kaname glanced at me with wide eyes before moving to take the spoon. "You scoop it up with a spoon." He shows me taking the food and spoon in front of him. "Here. Now open wide." My eyes widen slightly to see sharp teeth in his mouth.

The truth cannot be changed.

I calmly looked at him as I put slightly sit up. "What's the matter? Open your mouth." I looked at his mouth not hesitating to put my hand on his mouth. Kaname open his mouth wide for me to touch and look at his fangs.

A scene of the vampire that was going to drink my blood came in my vision. My eyes were wide with terror and fear. I hear something drop on the floor to see Yuuki covering her mouth looking at Kaname with fear. I drop my pudding on the floor and walked slowly and calmly to Yuuki. Yuuki looked at me as he put her arms around waist hiding her head on my chest shaking. I patted her head and back shaking a little as well.

"I think I should disappear from their sight, after all." I hear the young Kaname spoke standing up. "I'm going home." Kaname looks at the Headmaster.

"Going home? To that place?" The Headmaster asked. "That place is a den of demons waiting to take advantage of you, since you lost your parents." Yuuki looked up at Kaname and we stopped shaking still having our arms wrapped around each other.

"But I must return..." We looked to see his hands were in fist and him slowly facing his back on us. Kaname walked to the door but looked at us with a soft yet sad smile and eyes. "Good bye." Our eyes were wide as we looked at him walk away.

"That person told me. 'Girls are born princesses.'" I hear the Headmaster say from the fire place. It was night and I retrieve my memories thanks to Mimi. Yuuki and I were looking outside in the cold. "And that's why I'm thinking of giving you both the name, Yuuki, as in 'gentle princess.' And Victoria for... lets see, 'little princess'."

I glanced at the Headmaster a little confused. The Headmaster must have noticed my confusion as he continues to explain. "Victoria was the name of Queen Victoria in England. You are still too small so I thought young princess would be cute for you." I looked at the Headmaster then looked to see Yuuki watching outside.

I couldn't talk with the Headmaster when other people were around. It was confusing on why I couldn't. I stopped looking outside to poke the Headmaster. The Headmaster turned to look at me as I was pointing to another room. The Headmaster nodded his head smiling at Yuuki. "I'll be right Yuuki. I'm going to take Victoria to another room real quick."

Yuuki stopped looking outside to look at me. She was walking to me and hugged me tightly to her. The Headmaster notice the hesitant release on letting me go. "She'll be fine Yuuki. She will come back before you know it." Yuuki didn't say or do anything as we looked at each other. Yuuki put her hands to the side walking back to the window as the Headmaster and I walked to other room.

The Headmaster shut the door so no one can hear or see us. "Is something wrong?" Mimi returned to her little puff ball self flying next to the smiling Headmaster.

"The...Queen of England." I hesitant to speak. "If you didn't know my real name would you have actually called me Victoria." I looked at the smiling Headmaster. He walks towards me patting my head.

"Yes. The young princess Victoria sounds cute, don't you think?" He smiled making me blush a little. I hid my blush looking down at the floor. "Victoria..." I looked up at the concern Headmaster. "Why don't you speak with Yuuki when I'm around?" I looked down.

"I don't know. I already told you that Yuuki was one of the main girls and I know who Yuuki truly was. I told you about me and I think... my mind is starting to remember when I first met mother and father." I replied placing my hand on my head.

"It took time for you to talk to them and seeing something again must have made you refused to talk to anyone besides me." The Headmaster explains a little more for me. I shrug as Mimi flies over to me.

"I guess. I think my mind can trust you. I just hope that I will be able to talk to Yuuki soon." My eyes drop sadly as I held onto Mimi tightly to me.

"Victoria..." Mimi looks up at me with sad blue eyes. The Headmaster wraps his arms around me.

"I'm sure you will soon." The Headmaster reassures me. It took a few minutes to calm down as Mimi turned back into necklace and we walked back to Yuuki. My mind completely shut down not talking anymore at all. Yuuki looked at me stretching her hand towards me. I walked towards her slowly and put my hand on her's as we wrap our arms to each other.


"Yuuki, Victoria, I filed all the papers to legally adopt you both!" The Headmaster shouts happy making a fest on the table. Yuuki and I were wearing a dress as we both looked outside. "From today, I'm your father. All right now, try calling me, 'Dad'" He says having his hands besides his ear with a huge grin. We didn't glance at him or answer him as we looked outside. "A week's passed and you both haven't said a word to me! I'm starting to lose confidence!" Tears starting pouring from the Headmaster eyes. "What should I do...?!"

Yuuki tighten her hold on my hand and I did the same. "Huh? Yuuki? Victoria?"


I open my eyes getting up from my the couch. I looked around to see a blanket was gone and Yuuki wasn't around at all. I jumped up from the sudden laugh and the Headmaster was shouting worried. I walked out of the room to see the young Kaname on the floor laughing and the Headmaster panicking. I looked in the room to see Yuuki having a blanket over her head messing her clothes up.

I was shaking as I was holding my stomach chuckling before going to full blown laughter like Kaname. Kaname stopped laughing to look at me and the Headmaster was panicking over me.

"What should I do?! Victoria-chan never laughed like this before!" I continue laughing until my stomach was starting to hurt. "Victoria-chan, do you want me to get you so water?!" I didn't answer him trying hard not to laugh anymore.

'I've always did like this scene. It made me laugh so much but in real life it's too funny.' I finally was able to slow my laughter looking at Yuuki. I had soft smile on my face as I walked over to Yuuki, passing the Headmaster and Kaname. I grabbed the blanket that was over he head to look at her eyes.

Yuuki looked at me with wide eyes as I continue to chuckle trying to look more into her eyes. I smile at her as she smiles back at me. "Vict...oria..." My eyes widen to look in front of me. Yuuki had a huge smile on her face looking at me. "Victoria...Victoria..."

"Ah! Yuuki said Victoria's name." The Headmaster shouted surprised and happy. Kaname and the Headmaster was looking at me to see if I was going to say anything. My mind didn't register at all yet as I continue to smile nodding my head to Yuuki.

"I'll be leaving now." I hear Kaname say. Yuuki and I looked up at him surprised. Kaname turned to us with a soft smile. "Bye-bye."

'No...' I looked at Yuuki to see her not saying anything at all. I watch Kaname slowly walking out the door and I quickly ran grabbing his coat. "Kana...me." I looked back at Yuuki. "Yuu...ki." My eyes widen as I finally spoke up. I looked at Kaname and Yuuki. "Kaname! Yuuki!" I had a big smile on my face as I say their names.

Peaceful...gentle moments. That is the hope. And the sin.

Yuuki and I were in our coats as we waiting patiently for Kaname. We were holding hands wearing our gloves. We kept looking forward ignoring the cold weather and snow falling.

"Yuuki! Victoria!" We looked behind us to see the Headmaster in the house. "It's cold outside, come back inside." We heard footsteps as we looked in front of to see Kaname. Yuuki and I smiled looking at each other as we ran to Kaname.

"Kaname-sama!" We shouted hugging him.

"Kaname...sama..." Kaname says slowly having his arms around us. Yuuki and I looked up at him with a smile.

"Today is our birthday." Yuuki says.

"The day that you saved us a year ago!" I smiled at him. Yuuki and I looked at each other nodding as we looked back at him.

"Congratulations, Kaname-sama!" We shouted looking at him with smile. Kaname looked at us with wide eyes before his soften with smile.

"No, Yuuki, Victoria. Today is the day I congratulate you both." He says hugging us tightly to him. "But I thank you both anyway." He kisses as our forehead as we smiled at each other.

A falso heart. Kindness filled to the brim. And sin atop...sin.

Yuuki was looking outside with her middle school uniform. We were in middle school with our short hair and my calm expression on. I was siting on a chair reading a book about vampires.

"Kaname-sama is a vampire, isn't he?" Yuuki asked the headmaster, who was preparing hot chocolate.

"Yes. But the government doesn't look favorably upon them. So you both must keep it a secret too, all right, Yuuki, Victoria?" The Headmaster replies looking at me. I looked up at him nodding my head returning to my book.

"A secret?" Yuuki repeats. "It's a secret, but Kaname-sama showed me his vampire fangs." Yuuki says looking down. I looked up slowly looking at Yuuki. "Kaname-sama is completely different from that scary vampire, isn't he?" I closed my book standing up helping the Headmaster with the drinks.

"It all depends on you, Yuuki." I replied instead the Headmaster. Yuuki looks at me surprised as I stir the hot chocolate with a spoon. "Kaname-sama has done nothing that we didn't like, Yuuki." Yuuki's eyes were wide before nodding her head in agreement. I grabbed the other drink walking over to Yuuki. "There will be vampires that will be friendly like Kaname-sama, but their are vampires that we might never get along with." I drink the hot chocolate for Yuuki to look at me confused.

"Victoria..." I looked up at Yuuki calmly. "How do you know so much?" Yuuki asked me. I had a minute to think before my bangs hid my eyes and a smirk plastered on my face.

"I read." I spoke quietly drinking the hot chocolate.

A special day of the season.

I had my long hair as I continue running in town with a coat and bag over my shoulder.

A rendezvous...approved, but with limits. A moment of happiness. The fading truth...

I stopped to look around town. 'Yuuki should be here somewhere.' I sighed running my hand in my hair. 'I can't believe she was going alone into town. Kaname-sama isn't going to like this.' I continue to walk in town but stopped looking down. 'Kaname-sama must have already found her. There is no use in me staying... Kaname-sama is here for Yuuki not me.'

I looked up to see a young man with blood hair, black shades, and wearing all black. 'Vampire...' The vampire removed his shades to show me his red eyes.

I'm scared

Scary Vampires will eat us...

The blonde vampire stopped in front of me as I looked at him calmly. I didn't notice that Kaname was behind me glaring at the vampire with his red eyes. The vampire slowly bowed down making my eyes wide as I know only know one reason why that vampire did that. I looked behind me to see a closed eye smile Kaname.

"Victoria..." Kaname says smiling.

"Kaname-sama..." I slowly said his name. Kaname put his hand on my cheek wrapping his other arm around me.

"I thought you were afraid to walk around town alone?" Kaname says looking down at me. I looked at him about to reply but stopped to realize someone was missing from this group. I looked around Kaname to see brown hair hiding from me. I hear a soft little chuckle as I looked up at Kaname. I notice Kaname was chuckling as well but smiled down at me trying to ignore it.

I quiet my footsteps around Kaname to see a small back of that missing person. I walked slowly to her as I put my arms around her. "Got you." I spoke in her ear tickling her.

"Ah! No! Victoria, that tickles! Haha!" Yuuki keeps laughing and Kaname looks at us with warmth. I stop tickling her as I flicked her forehead.

"That's for going to town alone." Yuuki looked at me with regret in her eyes looking down.

"I'm sorry Victoria. I didn't mean to make worry. Where you scared?" Yuuki struggles with her coat looking down pouting. I sighed before patting her head with a smile and back away to look at Kaname and Yuuki.

"If Kaname-sama and Yuuki are with me, I'm not scared of anything." I replied to Kaname's and Yuuki's question. Kaname's eyes were wide but Yuuki smiled hugging me. Yuuki let go of me as I looked at Kaname. Kaname patted my head pulling me into his arms.

"Neither am I." Kaname says softly in my ear. I didn't have to look up to see Kaname's expression since I already know what it is. He was in deep thought holding me in his arms.

Purity is a sin. The truth cannot be changed. Time does not permit things from unchanging.

Yuuki and I were setting up the fire place when we heard the Headmaster was calling our names.

"Yuuki! Victoria! Sorry I'm late." The Headmaster yells. We walked out of the room to look at the entrance. The Headmaster was there but he wasn't alone. "His name is Zero Kiryuu. His family was killed by a bad vampire." I looked at the anger in his eyes.

BLOOD

I was walking in the hallway to see a door open and Yuuki looking at the open door.

BLOODSTAINED

I looked inside the room opening the door a little.

TRIGGER

I looked in the room slowly next to the fire place.

SLOWLY

Zero was there next to the fire place touching his neck. I tilted my head a little confused. "Zero?"

SLOWLY

His eyes were blank and I notice lines of blood on his neck.

STARTS PULLING


Gun Room

Zero placing Bloody Rose down siting in the chair next to him. He was touching his neck remembering something.

Zero's flashback

"Zero?" I hear Victoria spoke from the door calmly. She was standing next to Yuuki and her eyes shown worried. "What are you doing?"

"It's disgusting... I can still feel that woman's touch." I had blood on my head remembering that woman's fangs on my neck. I kept scratching until blood was showing. Victoria walked further into room looking at my neck.

"Zero...stop. Your hurting yourself." She spoke calmly like she doesn't care, but...hearing her voice and looking at her eyes says different. She grips on my hand that has blood on it. She was looking down at my hands and I was looking at her.

"'That woman' is the one who did terrible things to you and your family. She did awful things to you too." She placed the back of my head on her cheek closing her eyes. "It's all right now." She opened her eyes to look at my wounds. Her other moved to the wounds I made on my neck. "It's okay."

I was surprised to see her smile at me. "I won't let anything happen to you. I'll always be here for you, Zero." She smiled softly at me holding my head and running her hands through my hair.

End Flashback

'Always.' Zero recalled that moment then he touched his lips. 'Why did you had to bring that up?! I hate you!' He closed his eyes in regret hearing Victoria say that.


"Kiryuu-kun, you should find out with your own eyes..." The Headmaster says to the young Zero as we sit in the dinning table. Yuuki sits up from the table walking out. "Because I think you would understand."

"What do you mean?" Zero asked. I looked at Zero then the Headmaster narrowing my eyes little. The Headmaster was giving me a reassuring smile saying it will be okay.

"Hurry! Hurry and come in." I hear Yuuki shout to someone. I looked at the entrance to see Yuuki pulling on someone. "Wasn't it cold?" I looked to see a familiar hand patting Yuuki making her smile and putting his hand on her cheek. I quickly stand up knowing who it is.

"Kaname...sama..." I spoke slowly walking around the table.

"Kaname-sama, guess what?" Yuuki says pulling on his hand.

"I'd like to see Victoria before I come in." Kaname says making me smile a little. I walk towards the door to see him smile at me. "Victoria..." He pats me head.

"Kaname-sama." I smile at him as he walks forward in Zero's vision. He continue to look down at me not aware of Zero's presence. He puts his arm around me as we smile at each other. "Kaname-sama, I want you to meet..." I turned to look at Zero who was standing up. Kaname loosen his arms around me to look at Zero. Zero looked at him with wide eyes and fear. I knew exactly what was going to happen. "Zero..." I walked calmly towards me as he looks down at me.

I looked down at his hand to see him searching for the knife. At the same time, he was searching I quickly grabbed his hand. "Stop it, Zero! He isn't the one your looking for!" I shouted at me. Zero was gripping on the knife in his hand trying to get me out of his grasp.

"Let me go Victoria! He smells just like her!" Zero yells back at me. His eyes widen looking at my serious expression.

"So, why stab him?" I asked my eyes narrowed. Zero's eyes continue to widen but narrows.

"Let me go." Zero tighten his hold on the knife looking at me angry.

"If I do." I slowly begin to let go of him. "It will be meaningless to what you think of doing." Zero's eyes widen as he slowly drops the knife into the floor.

"You were going to stab like that...You're not very nice." Kaname says knowing exactly what Zero was thinking. Zero glares harshly at Kaname filled with rage in his eyes.

"Shut up, vampire! Your just grateful that Victoria stopped me!" Zero shouts at Kaname then looks at me. "I won't hesitate the second time."

"I know." I glanced at Zero as we were staring at each other the whole time. I stretched my hand out to him to take. "Come on. You don't like the smell, right?" I teased him a little. Zero glared at me a little before taking my hand. I was walking to the door to look at up at Kaname smiling softly. "Gomen..." I whispered softly so he only hear.

I pass Kaname patting his shoulder and smiled at Yuuki. I was holding onto Zero has he tries to break free from my touch. "I know you hate being touch by the likes of him." I opened the door to his room as I looked at his wide eyes. "Regardless of you hating my touch, it will not change the fact that I will be by your side." I let go his wrist to walk into his closet grabbing some pajamas for him.

"Kaname-sama saved me and Yuuki from a blood thirsty vampire." I placed the pajamas on his bed. "I know you won't accept Kaname-sama like Yuuki, the Headmaster, and I do. But...it's okay." Zero continue to look at me with wide eyes.

"You're all crazy." Zero says narrowing his eyes and his hands in a fist. I looked at him with a soft smile.

"Your right." Zero look up at with wide eyes. I walked pass him before whispering "Good night Zero." I closed the door giving him some privacy.


"A Night Class will be established at the Academy from now on." The Headmaster says. I was sitting in the couch next to Zero looking at his book. Between me and Zero is getting better now as we finally come close to being friends. Yuuki was holding a tray putting the cups on the table looking up at the Headmaster.

"You mean night classes for the high school?" Yuuki ask.

"No, it's not for high school or the university." The Headmaster replies. "The classes will run throughout the night for high-level research. And that's because those nocturnal ones all live much longer lives than we do." I looked up at him. The Headmaster looks at me nodding his head for me to say it.

"The Night Class will be full of vampires, right?" I asked. Zero and Yuuki looked at me surprised before looking back the Headmaster.

"Yes." The Headmaster nodded his head. Zero's eyes widen standing up dropping his book.

"What are you planning to do? Letting things like them in here?" Zero asked his hands in a fist.

"In order to promote" Our eyes widen to another persons voice. We looked at the door to see none other than Kaname. "a peaceful co-existence of vampires and humans...young vampires shall be educated to become 'moderates.' So I understand..." Kaname was leaning against the door frame looking at Zero.

"Kuran Kaname..." Zero eyes were wide looking at him. Yuuki was smiling running to him.

"Kaname-sama!" Kaname put his hand on her head smiling at her gently.

"Good evening, Yuuki..." Kaname looked up at me smiling. "Victoria." I had smile on my face as I was standing to walk over to him. I was suddenly pulled from my hand to not move at all. I looked behind me to see Zero tugging on my head.

"Zero?" I notice him shaking seeing that he need me right now. I put my arm around his shoulders and my other hand through his hair. "Zero, it's okay."

"It's ridiculous." He says in my hair holding me tightly.

"It's all right. Kaname will join the Night Class so the other vampires will behave." The Headmaster tries to reassure Zero. My eyes widen as I looked behind me to Kaname.

"Kaname-sama is going to be in the Night Class." I spoke up making him look at me. Kaname nods his head. I felt Zero move see him siting up.

"But...if he betrays us, it's all be over." Zero says whispering closely to my ear and narrowing his eyes at Kaname.


Gun Room

Zero was hitting the wooden the board where he placed his guns at looking at the ground. "He wasn't the one who turned traitor..." He spoke quietly. He placed his hand on his head not aware that Kaname was outside the door. Kaname walked upstairs remembering his talk with the Headmaster about his pacifist idea.

"Kaname-kun, I'm glad you support my pacifist views."

"Yes, I hope to see its realization. As I have to abide certain restrictions, I will be happy to have assistants to be my arms and legs. There is just one thing that concerns me."

Kaname was outside with a pond and old broken stones and rocks. "Victoria..." He says to himself looking at the distance.


Back to Victoria

I was looking up the ceiling lost in my own thoughts. 'I won't regret it. Yet... I can tell by our blood.' I slide back down on the pillow looking up at the ceiling. 'What are vampires anyways? They understand their partner's feelings from going to deep into their heart, just by drinking their blood. When did you stop...talking to me about everything?'

I touched the bandage on my neck closing my eyes trying to remember. "When? Yes, from that day..." A memory flash in my mind as we were in elementary school looking at the teacher's dormitory. "Something changed."

"That teachers' dorm isn't being used now, is it?" Yuuki asked Zero.

"It's a temporary dorm until the entrance exams and pledges are completed...for the vampires." Zero replies to Yuuki questions. I glanced at Zero then looked at the teachers dorm. "Don't get to close...to their nest." Zero was walking away and Yuuki's eyes were wide. I knew what she was trying to do and I didn't have a choice in the matter.

I open my eyes to look around my room to see Yuuki gone. I looked outside sighing as I got out of my pajamas into normal clothes. I walked outside heading to the destination to where I know where she is. I knocked on the door repeatedly and someone answer to see Ichijou.

"Ichijou-senpai..." Ichijou's eyes were wide looking at me.

"Victoria-chan...I'm surprised you know who I am." I sweat-drop having a blank face that said 'shit'. Ichijou laughed looking at my expression. "You look like Shiki having that expression." I looked confused from that as I hear footsteps upstairs. Upstairs was Shiki and Rima.

"Ichijou-san, who's that girl?" Shiki asked having calm expression like me. Shiki and I looked at each other as we nodded our heads acknowledging each other.

"Cross Victoria..." I raised my hand saying my name.

"Shiki Senri..." He raised his hand as well. Shiki and I turned to the girls with pig tails.

"Touya Rima." She says quietly looking down at me. I nodded my head acknowledging her too. I looked back at Ichijou.

"Ichijou-senpai have you seen Yuuki?" Ichijou looked at me with wide eyes.

"I sent her to go back. She didn't return?" My eyes widen as I quickly slammed the door open startling Ichijou. I ran pass him. "Victoria-chan?" I quickly ran upstairs passing Shiki and Rima. I looked through the doors trying to remember where she could be.

"Kaname...sama..." I heard a soft voice looking at the door next to me. I slowly open it making sure that Yuuki doesn't see me. I look to see Yuuki closely to the door where Kaname and Ruka was. Yuuki was looking through that door and I quickly block her eyes and covered her mouth surprising her. I looked through the door to see Kaname drinking Ruka's blood.

Kaname was looking at the teachers dormitory remembering something from Victoria.

"You do cruel things."

I was still holding onto Yuuki covering her eyes and mouth as she softly touches my hand trying to make me let go of her. I look up to face Kaname as his eyes looked at mine. Ruka fell in his arms, her blood going down his chin, and eyes crimson red. We looked at each other as I looked down at Yuuki pulling her back and look only at me. Yuuki's eyes were wide looking as she looked at me.

"You need leave." I was behind Yuuki as I pushed her out of the room not looking at the other door. "I'm going to talk to the Headmaster later. You need to go." Yuuki looked at me and pouted before storming off. I sighed walking back to the open door. I opened the door unafraid of seeing this scene. Kaname's eyes looked at me as I walked further into room.

"That was cruel Kaname-sama." I spoke softly. I looked down at Ruka. "Trying to hurt Yuuki and Ruka at the same time. Yuuki loves you Kaname-sama." Kaname's eyes were wide looking at me as I looked back at the door. "Yuuki will devastated if she saw that."

I hear shuffling as I looked up at Kaname. He was holding Ruka bridal style not even smiling at me. "Don't you sound like big girl...little princess." Kaname says stating young princess more.

"Because my eyes finally open once you have done this. The one you have chosen to love all your heart...is Yuuki." I had a smile on my face looking at his wide eyes. "And I'm not getting the way of that." I scoot back until I was next to the door.

"Victoria..." Kaname says trying to walk closer to me but I keep stepping back. Kaname stopped looking at me.

"I'll protect Yuuki. Don't worry. Good bye." I looked up at him smiling at him. I quickly bowed before running out of the room and the teacher's dorm. I could feel tears starting to break as my heart continuously seems to shatter every time.

"You say I'm cruel Victoria when in fact...It's you who is too cruel."

I kept running and running trying to hard for the tears not fall on my cheeks.

'That's how it was... Knowing that Kaname-sama choose Yuuki. I remember... I remember...'

You know it.

'Kaname choose Yuuki...'

Truth cannot be changed.

'I know that the truth cannot be changed. But still...'

I'm scared...

'Kaname-sama is still...a good vampire!'

I continue to run and run until I bumped into someone. We both fell on the ground and looked at each other.

"Zero...?" I spoke to calmly. Zero looked at me with wide eyes walking over to me.

"Why are you...crying?" Zero asked. I notice the worried in his voice. I touched my cheek feeling my cheeks wet.

"Oh...I was crying. I really, really hate crying." My shoulders were shaking as unknown tears kept coming down.

"What happened?" Zero asked stretching his hand to me. I took his hand and put my arms around Zero. Zero was surprised as he quickly put his arms around me.

"Reality just hit me hard Zero. That's all." I replied to him. Zero was trying to pull me so he can see my face but I tighten my hold on him. "Please...don't. I also hate when people see me cry. It makes me feel weak." Zero stopped putting his arms around me again.

"Okay." Zero says quietly patting my back. "Reality hit you, huh?" I nodded my head. "Could it be you finally realize that Kuran Kaname isn't any different than a beast in human form?" I chuckle to hear him still trying to persuade me into thinking that Kaname is a beast. I stopped crying to look at Zero. Zero pouted seeing my smile and little tearing eyes. "I'll take that as a no." He sighed.

I nodded my head. "Then, can you tell me?" Zero asked politely. I looked at him before looking down.

"I realized that it's not me Kaname-sama has chosen." I spoke quietly waiting for Zero to reply. Zero hold my hand patting my head.

"Idiot." Zero says teasingly and I chuckle a little.

That night, Zero and I broke the distance with each other. It was also the same night, that I realized what my purpose was here again.

Yuuki and I were in front of the vampires as she blushed looking at Kaname. I looked up at him bowing down. "Thank you for carrying Yuuki the other night." Yuuki bowed as well for thanks. I looked up to see Shiki and Rima staring at me. Shiki, Rima, and I nodded our heads to each other and I looked at Kaname. Kaname faced us his back waving good-bye to us.

I protect and help the main characters in this anime. In the end, they will both choose Yuuki and I will go back home once Yuuki has retrieve her memories.


Outside of Victoria's sleep

Zero walked in the room looking at Victoria sleep. He was wearing his black jeans and unbutton shirt with a towel over his shoulders. "She's asleep." Zero walked to grab a blanket over Victoria. "You'll catch a cold."

"Zero...Kaname-sama..." Victoria spoke in her sleep. Zero's eyes widen hearing his name but also heard Kaname's. Zero looked Victoria's neck to see the bandage. Zero was moving his hand close to it and his eyes were turning crimson red. Zero was holding his stretched hand siting down leaning against the coach. Zero's eyes turned back to lavender and hold his neck while breathing heavy.

Zero heard footsteps to look at the door seeing Kaname. "Want to go out for a while?" Kaname asked. Zero stand up pulling the blanket over Victoria walking to the door. I was shifting in my sleep as I open my eyes to see Kaname...and Zero.

"Zero..." Zero turned to look at me. "Kaname-sama..." Kaname glanced at me as I looked down to see a blanket over me. "I...I fell asleep." Zero looked at me for a few seconds before walking out. I looked back to see Zero's back walking out the room. "Zero?" Kaname looked at me smiling walking towards me.

"You must rest." He puts his hand on my cheek making me blush. Kaname kissed my forehead looking down at me. "Good night, little princess." He walks out of the room not glancing at me.

"Kaname-sama..."


Outside

Kaname was facing his back at Zero. "I never told you why I tolerate your existence. I realize the dangers of Cross Academy's pacifist posture. That's why I have given it some thought... Who in this little garden would be a shield to Yuuki and Victoria? You wouldn't betray Victoria. I know that for certain. Because you owe her that much. And that's why you're being allowed to live, Zero...by me." Kaname says glancing at Zero. Zero narrowed his eyes clicking his tongue.

"I've already protected her, Kuran." Kaname narrows his eyes at Zero. "I've protected her the minute she started crying because of you." Kaname narrowed his eyes more glaring angrily at Zero.


Back to Victoria

A lot of things change on that day. But there is one thing that won't change. I'm still in love of with Kaname-sama...

I hope you guys like chapter.

Here is the relationship with Victoria and the other characters. [You don't have to read it if you don't want to. This adds without Ruka and Aidou in it.]

Shiki Senri: If you can tell by this chapter that Shiki and Victoria are a lot alike. Well expressions mostly. They both are calm and Shiki was the third vampire that Victoria met. They mostly have a few words with each other because they understand each other very well.

Ichijou Takuma: Victoria knows that Ichijou is a great friends with Kaname and they get along with each other. Ichijou was the second vampire she met. She doesn't see Ichijou that much but she knows what is going to happen to him.

Touya Rima: The fourth vampire that Victoria met. Rima would sometimes share pocky with her along with Shiki. Rima would tell her stuff about her model career. Victoria would always like to tease about her in love with Shiki. Rima and Victoria are really good friends in this story.

Akatsuki Kain: Victoria has only heard about Akatsuki, so she doesn't know him that well at all. She knows that he is in love with Ruka. She also knows that Aidou is his cousin. They both sometimes think that he is an idiot.

Well, that is all I can tell you with the other vampires Victoria has relationships with. We already know that Ruka hates Victoria and we will soon know enough of the relationship with her and Aidou.

I hope you guys like this chapter and story so far.

Please review.
