Thank you guys so much for over 400 reviews. I've never had that many reviews before! I'm really, really happy! So, I keep getting reviews saying that Zero should be there for her and not hate her like he does with Yuuki. And...I agree completely.

So I hope you guys like this. I do not own Vampire Knight.

Chapter 22

Revival of the Emperor

In front of this door, Zero's door, on the other side I hear a sound that sounded like a gun getting started. As I stare at the door with wide eyes I can feel Yuuki's hand on mine loosen. I looked at her confused then stared at the door again.

"You thought..." Zero spoke up making my eyes widen again, "...if we met and talked, we might be able to resolve this? At first..." I put my hand that reached to his door back to my side. "'This is a human transforming into a vampire' was what I thought. But it turned out to be a human who was a vampire. As of now, all I feel from across the door is...only the presence of two arrogant purebloods who toys with humans."

Yuuki closed her eyes sighing then looked at the door saying, "That's right, Zero."

I looked at her with wide eyes seeing how this is going.

Yuuki continues, "It's great that you understand. The Yuuki and Victoria that Zero knows, is already gone. Because, it was eaten by the vampire side of Yuuki and Victoria, after all."

My eyes widen even more watching as she walks away, "Onee..sama..."


I looked at Yuuki seeing her slowly disappear to my sight then looked at the door. I can still feel that gun pointing at me. Taking a deep breathe and having as much courage as I can. I put my hand on the door knob slowly opening it.

Zero stood up alarmed pointing the gun at me having eyes of anger and betrayal. I slowly walked in the room seeing him stiff, and tightening the hold of his gun. I closed the door behind while not taking my eyes off him.

"How long do you plan on acting with me?" I spoke up seeing Zero's eyes widen, "It may have work on Onee-sama, but no me."

Zero lowered his gun to look up and down at me, "You..."

Zero was speechless on what to say but finally found the words on what to say, "What is going to happen now?"

Zero faced me his side as I leaned against the door replying, "The real enemy will be awaken. And Ichiru..."

I look down for Zero to face me completely with a startled expression, "What about Ichiru?"

I looked up at him sadly then looked down, "Ichiru...isn't exactly working for the Senate." Zero waited for me to continue, "Our real enemy was the fiance of Hiou Shizuka and Ichiru plans on taking revenge."

I hear Zero walk towards me looking down at me intensely, "Answer me one thing."I looked up at him as he continues, "Is Ichiru going to die?"

I looked back down to reply, "I'm sorry. The only one that can change his fate...is his other half and himself."

Zero looked at me with wide eyes as he stepped back. I looked up at him to see his eyes were in disbelief and fear of losing his brother.

"That's why I wanted you to make up with him that day," He looked up at me again. "I wanted you to at least understand your brother a little bit longer."

I heard Zero clicked his tongue as he questions, "Is...Is she really gone?"

My eyes widen from the sudden change of topics. I looked up at his eyes to see sadness, anger, betrayal, and disbelief. I smirked reaching my hand up to him hitting his shoulder. He wince rubbing his shoulder as I faced my back on him.

"My appearance, my aura, and the way I was born is different, but..." I faced him having a calm expression as I always have before. "I will never change."

Zero had to smirk at me as he walked closer to him. I only turned my head to see that was behind me. He stretched his arm feeling the sense as he was going to put his arm around, but...he turned the door knob. He leaned down close to my ear.

"I...really can't hate you for everything you done for me," Zero whispered in my ear.

In that moment, all the things I have done for Zero as a human entered my mind. The times I saved by Shizuka's blood, helping his wound on his neck, opening his heart to me a little, giving him blood. All these little things that keep replaying in my head making my heart in pain over and over again. I look down at his arm when I saw something wet on his shirt.

I slowly stretched my hand to his arm but he hesitated on weather to move or not. I felt slightly hurt as more and more little droplet was falling down his sleeve. I put my hand on my head allowing the tears to fall down my cheeks but didn't have the calm expression.

"I'm sorry, Zero," I spoke raspy and quiet as I intended. "I'm sorry. I had no idea that it was going to become like this. I'm sorry."

It felt like a blur when I felt strong arms crushing me to a strong chest. We were like this for some time that felt like hours and hours. I felt happy to see that he trust me and is not afraid to touch me, but...

...Why does it hurt so much being in his arms? Is it because I don't have right to be in these arms? Because I have been so selfish while he should pay attention to his brother? I...

I...shouldn't be the person he is thinking about right now...

"Zero..." I spoke up as he loosen his arms, "Remember this..." I got out of his arms to turn around looking at him as...a pureblood. "The only one that can change this fate of Ichiru's is by his other half and himself. The Cursed Twins."

Zero's eyes were wide seeing my serious and different aura.

I continued, "I will never change of who I am. The one person you should be worried about right now is Kiryuu Ichiru."

I narrowed my eyes to have the door open with my powers and walk out of the room, but looked at him one more time.

"Only you can change the fate of the Cursed Twins," I closed the door not hearing what he is going to say.

I walked down the hallway feeling something wet down my cheek to whip it off fast. I closed my eyes calming myself down then looked in front of me. My calm expression was on as I open the door to see only Akatsuki.

I titled my head confused as I looked at Akatsuki. He turned to look at me surprised then had the same 'I-don't-care' expression.

"I see the old you is back," Akatsuki stated.

I nodded my head walking down the steps seeing a pair of shoes. The shoes were flats, thank goodness, the color was blue, and it had a blue rose on it. I put the shoes on to walk forward hearing the clicking sound on the pavement. I hear Akatsuki walking behind as I looked at the corner of my eye to see Yuuki crying.

My eyes fallen to the ground as I looked back up straight to continue walking forward.

"Where do you plan on going?" Akatsuki asked as I turned my gaze towards him.

"Mimi. Karou." I called at them.

It took a few seconds before a flash of light was in front of me to see Karou in what looks like blue long sleeve shirt and black pants. I looked at Mimi to see her hair got longer and her suddenly wearing a white dress. I felt her aura become completely different but decided not to ask any questions.

I turned to look back at Akatsuki replying, "I'm sorry Kain-senpai. You will not be coming with me." Akatsuki looked at me with wide eyes as I faced forward continuing, "Please stay here and check Onee-sama. I will be taking Karou and Mimi with me to where I'm heading."

Without another word, I continue to move forward watching as Onee-sama as the look of sadness wash over her. I closed my eyes having my hands clench as I look forward deciding to run.

Karou and Mimi picked up the pace behind me as I continue to run to the Moon Dorms. I stopped in front of the doors entering the dormitory to smell a familiar blood. My eyes widen as I looked up at the stairs.

I'm too late...

I ran upstairs, entering Shiki's room to slam the door open seeing a sword pierce through Kaname's hand and Ichijou putting his hands on Kaname's stretched arm. I noticed that Rido's coffin was open and Ichiru was looking at me with wide eyes. I looked up at Kaname to see him side glance at me.

"Onii-sama..." I looked at him then looked up at Ichijou, "Is Senri-"

I stopped to look at the bed, it was Senri. He was asleep and not in control of Rido anymore. I felt relief in my heart but didn't show it. I looked back at Kaname then looked down at open coffin. I saw Rido having my anger boil.

This is the person that changed everything for us.

My hands were in fist.

Made all of this suffering...Onee-sama...Onii-sama...Oka-sama...Oto-sama...Zero...Senri...Ichijou... Shizuka...and...

I looked up at Ichiru to see his eyes on me. My lips were a thin line as I walked forward to Ichiru. I looked at him with a calm expression but heart felt pain in it.

"Did...Did you talk with Zero?" I questioned.

Ichiru's eyes were wide but then smirked looking at me saying, "Why would you ask something like that? Of course we talked-"

"About me, correct?" I asked making his eyes even more wide.

I smirked hitting his shoulder surprising him even more, "I take that offensive saying that Zero's taste in woman has gotten bad," I stated sounding upset but amused at the same time.

Ichiru couldn't help the smirk that was on his face. I looked up at him when my eyes suddenly turned red. My eyes widen putting my hand on my head sounding hurt.

"Victoria-chan/Victoria!" I hear Karou and Mimi shouted running towards me.

They quickly run up to my side as I felt everyone's gaze on me as a flash of Zero came to my mind.

Zero...

"It's...Zero...Why is he suddenly in pain?" I asked anyone.

I was so confused. I gave him Shizuka's blood so he shouldn't have turn into a Level E, right?

"Because of your blood," I looked up to see Kaname looking at me. He continued, "The blood in you that was human is slowly taking effect as a Pureblood. It's causing him pain as the your pure blood slowly consumes."

I looked up at him then looked at Mimi to see her worried for him as well.

That's right...Mimi has been with Zero since these 10 years, so of course she would be worried.

I looked down ordering to Mimi, "Go and check on Zero, Mimi."

Mimi looked at me confused as I stared back at her serious. Mimi didn't have to ask as she disappeared.

~Mimi~

Mimi was in the middle between what looks like a fight between Yagari and Kaien. They stopped to look at Mimi with surprised.

"You're..." Kaien spoke up surprised.

Mimi turned her gaze looking at Kaien with a smile, "Victoria-chan ordered to come here. It seems that Zero is hurting and she wants me to check it out."

Kaien and Yagari's eyes were wide saying at the same time, "Zero?"

They were soon distracted from hearing a noise behind Yagari. Speak of the devil, it was Zero. Zero stand up leaning against the wall breathing heavy.

"You have come...to kill m?" Zero says looking at them with crimson eyes. All of them were shocked to see Zero become like this as he continued, "Because I'm a vampire, right?"

Zero looked at them then his heart was beating fast to have visions of Kaname and Victoria come to his memories. The tattoo on his neck was extended having Zero show his gun.

"That's good," Zero says throwing Bloody Rose to Yagari. "Do it."

"Kiryuu-kun!" Kaien shouted.

Zero was losing control as he ran straight towards...Mimi.

~Back to Victoria~

Soon the pain was gone that I was able to look up at them easily. I blinked a couple of times confused on what is happening with Zero. I looked back at Ichiru to see in his eyes that he was worried for Zero.

"How long do you plan on lying to yourself?" I spoke making Ichiru surprised while everyone grew confused. I looked at him standing up straight, "You know it yourself. You do care about Zero."

Ichiru gripped on the cover of the sword looking down not seeing my eyes. I didn't hear any reply from him as I look down at Rido. His chest was full of Kaname's blood and I knew that Kaname was remembering the day of Haruka's death.

I walked over the coffin to put my hand over Kaname's whispering in his ear, "That's enough. Your giving him enough your blood, Onii-sama."

Kaname looked at him showing me love and care in his eyes. I smiled as we slowly took the sword out of Kaname's hand. I took the sword in my hands only to give it back to Ichiru.

"You don't have to get your revenge on Rido alone," Ichiru's eyes were wide again, "I know what your destiny is." Ichiru took the sword from as I continue, "Rido will be the one to kill you, but..." I looked up at him serious, "Your the one that Zero wants to take his blood."

Ichijou's and Ichiru's eyes were wide but Kaname somehow wasn't that shock like they were.

"It's your decision Ichiru. Either live with your brother or die while Zero destroys him and he has no family," Ichiru tighten his hold on the sword looking down. I didn't stop talking though, "Your his only family left, Ichiru. I'm not the one that chooses what you want to do. I at least want you to talk to him."

Ichiru looked up at me as I walked over to Kaname taking his hand that seems to heal slowly. I look back at Ichijou smiling. Kaname and I stand up to look at him.

"Thank you Ichijou-senpai for worrying about idiot onii-sama," I glared at Kaname to see him not looking at me.

I sweat-drop looking at him.

For an ancestor, he's like a child.

I looked back at Ichijou getting a little upset but having a calm expression looking behind him, "Please take care of Senri."

Ichijou smiled nodding his head. I took Kaname's hand heading out the room. I closed the door to look at them one more time. As soon as the door was closed I automatically looked at Kaname.

"Onii-sama is an idiot," I teased him walking past him to face him back.

"Why?" Kaname spoke up making me stop, "No. How and Why?"

I looked down at the ground replying, "You're the one that Rido awoken," Kaname's eyes were wide looking at me. I didn't glance at him but looked out of the window continuing, "Our ancestor...The first Kuran." I glanced at him again to see his eyes looking down. I looked back at the window, "I want to be there in person to see what were you planning."

I turned my whole body towards and the window open showing the wind. Kaname looked at me with wide eyes as I put my hands behind me smiling at him.

"I want to thank you for being there for Oto-san and Okaa-san. I know that my original brother is dead and they always thought of as their son," Kaname's eyes continue to get wider with every word that comes out of my mouth. "I know that you are going to the Senate and destroy it. I will never hate you for that."

I walked towards him stretching my hand out to him to touch his cheek.

"I'll always forgive you. I do not care what you are or who you were. But right now, you are my Onii-sama and...fiance." It was a little embarrassing to the last word so I looked down.

I put my hand to my side to feel Kaname grasp my hand before it was to my side. I looked up at him to see him smiling kissing the my knuckles.

"Onii-sama..." I spoke with love saying those words.

Every time I said Onii-sama it always makes me feel so happy to have my family back with me. Also knowing that Kaname is my fiance makes my heart even more happy and heart beating fast. The touch of his lips on my back hand make me embarrassed and heart beating fast right now.

"Victoria, wait for me," Kaname put his arm around my waist hitting his chest, and whispering sweetly in my ear

I narrowed my eyes softly as the wind blows between us, "I'll be fighting Rido when you come back." I felt him tighten his arm around me to smile patting his back gently, "I'll be fine. I promise."

Kaname looked down at me having a frown on his face, but once he looked at me serious. He couldn't help but smile leaning his head down to put his lips on mine. This kiss was sweet, soft, and light like a feather. He looked at me with a smile disappearing in the air.

I sighed feeling the wind getting heavy, "So dramatic. Just like Oto-san." I smiled thinking of Haruka and Kaname, "I guess that's one thing they both have in common."

I smiled looking behind me to see Karou smirking leaning against the wall, "Love birds." He teased.

I smirked then have my calm expression back on to look forward, "We have to go see Onee-sama."

Karou nodded his head in understanding walking down the hallway. My eyes narrowed as we continue walking.

Everything is...beginning.

~Mimi~

Mimi looked down at Zero seeing him lay on her lap in a dungeon-like. It was the same place where he was becoming a Level E and Victoria gave him Shizuka's blood. Except...it was the dungeon in Cross Academy.

Mimi saw his eyes open to see him looking up at her. His eyes widen but then relaxed seeing as it was just her. Mimi smiled looking down at him.

"I see your awake," Mimi starts talking smiling sweetly at him, "That was very reckless of you. Victoria-chan would have gotten mad."

Zero's eyes narrowed but couldn't the smirk that was forming on his lips remembering her angry face. He sit up ruffling his hair then leaned against the wall.

"What am I doing here?" Zero asked down.

Mimi looked at him then looked at Bloody Rose on the floor, "For you to calm down until this vampire inside you is calm as well."

Zero looked at her asking, "Why is this happening to me? Victoria gave me Shizuka's blood then-"

"Your not turning into a Level E," Mimi cut him off. Zero looked at her surprised, "You drank from Victoria-chan multiple times as a human." Zero's eyes widen starting to realize it. Mimi explained more, "Since Victoria-chan begun to awaken as a Pureblood. Her blood is inside you that is starting to wake up and...make you more powerful."

Mimi looked at him with sad eyes, "It will hurt for a few hours but that is why I'm here. Victoria-chan ordered me to come and check on you, and that is exactly what I'm doing."

Zero looked at Mimi then looked down remembering the words that Victoria said to him.

'I will never change.'

Zero smirked looking up at the ceiling, "Victoria..." Zero whispered softly.

Mimi looked at him hearing Zero say her name. Mimi smiled kindly watching as the next second...

"Ack!" Zero was gripping on his hand in pain.

Mimi's eyes were wide as she moved to look at his hand. His hand looked like an ugly claw that was only showing his veins.

~Victoria~

There will be many awakenings.

I walked outside to see Aidou and Yuuki leaning against the tree.

Many unexpected appearance.

I walked forward to see their eyes surprise standing straight to look at me.

And...a powerful enemy that we all have to face.

I smirked putting my hand to my hip and the sun starting to rise behind me, "Why are you all just standing here doing nothing? Come on. There is going to be a war starting and we need to get ready."

I hope you guys like this story.

In this chapter, unlike the anime, Zero understand Victoria and still trusts her. I was actually thinking of doing that between Zero and Victoria. Sorry if this story is short, the original anime was mostly at some other places that I felt had nothing to be involved with main character besides the big one.

I hope you enjoy.

Please review.
