"Vampires live by instinct. They are pitiful beings, that's why we hunt them. That' why vampire hunters like me and the Kiryu family exist. Do you understand now Zero? Vampires can only be our enemies."

"Zero!."

"Even though the bullet missed it must still hurt like hell. A spell was put on that bullet to kill vampires. Zero, even if you are hungering for blood. Do you have a reason to brace yourself for this?."

Determined not to let this mysterious man kill Zero, Elaine moves in front of him in order to protect him from certain death.

"You're one of those guardians for that retired twit. I don't know what your relationship with Zero is. But you don't get to decide whether he lives or dies!."

"I WON"T LET YOU KILL HIM!."

"Are you saying that he hasn't lost his sanity yet?."

"Elaine it's all right."

Zero pushes Elaine out of the way and braces himself for the sting of an anti-vampire bullet. All of a sudden someone runs up to them yelling.

"YOU TOOK THIS WAY TOO FAR. THIS IS EXACTLY WHY I HATE VAMPIRE HUNTERS! Hey put that thing away! How long are you going to keep a girl in cold water? Here Elaine grab my hand you must be freezing."

Ignoring the headmaster both Elaine and Zero drag themselves out of the water and onto the ground. Elaine gives the headmaster a look that says I'm not some damsel in distress I can do this myself.

"Who are you?"

"Toga Yagari. I'm the former master of Zero. I'm a vampire hunter. Right Zero?"

"Yes."

"He was about to attack you. Yet you considered me your enemy"

"I can't believe that he would want to kill his own student. That is just not right." Elaine thought to herself/

Later on inside the school...

Still worried about Zero Elaine confronts Yagari about where he is since he was nowhere to be found.

"What happened to Zero? What did you do to him? He wasn't in class and he is not in his dorm. The headmaster is missing too. Where is he?"

"We quarantined him. He is at the point where he could attack at anytime. He is fine for the time being."

"Where is he?"

"Go away I have a job to do. That twit is making me be a temporary lecturer of ethics for the night class."

Inside the classroom...

As soon as Yagari walks into the room all eyes turn to him as class begins.

"I'm Toga Yagari and I am your temporary lecturer for this ethic class. Nice to meet you vampires."

"Wait a minute. He has the same name as the number one vampire hunter right now."

"So it was you that was shooting last night."

"Relax. Tonight I am a teacher with a teaching certificate."

"Unless there is a vampire here that you want to kill teacher?."

"Kuran. Unfortunately my execution list is empty. But if you fall asleep during my class you might just end up on that list."

"Heh. I'll be careful. Teacher."

An Hour later...

Yagari exits the classroom to fine Elaine still there.

"I know what you're thinking. You thought that I was going to look for Zero right."

Yagari stands there in confusion.

"I'm just here doing my job as a guardian making sure that the night class doesn't rip you to shreds like you were a piece of paper."

"If you want to see him he is in the headmasters private living area."

Elaine runs off to find Zero.

Meanwhile inside the classroom as the night class students are waiting for their next class to start they discuss their new teacher.

"Why the hell is a vampire hunter teaching vampires like us. Who's idea was that?."

"The headmaster. Who else would pull that kind of move Aidou."

"So what did you think of him Roselle."

"Well for one it is strange for a vampire hunter to lecture vampires. But don't you think that it is a little early to pass judgment on him since we just met him?."

"You're defending him!."

"Not my point or intention to do so ."

"Then why did you say that."

"It's rude to just assume things about people and to jump to conclusions Aidou."

"But"

"Well for one I come from a small bay-side fishing town call Galway back home in Ireland which is not far from the famous Galway bay."

"That is related to the situation why?."

"The town is pretty quite so not much happens. Things like vampire hunters coming to our town hunting a rogue vampire or a level E is rare. So when it did happen no one passed judgment and let them do their job and go on their merry way. Do you see my point Aidou."

"She is right. It is a bit rude to jump to conclusions Aidou."

"Thank you Kaname."

"At least someone understands the point I was trying to make." Roselle thought.

"Do you understand Aidou."

"Yes Kaname-sama."

As this is happening Elaine finally finds her way to the headmaster's private living area. They had put Zero in the headmaster's guest room. She knocks on the door and Zero is surprised to see her there.

"Go back to your dorm Elaine I'm fine."

"So instead of taking charge of your own life you are going to let that man boss you around."

"That man took care of me and my younger brother when my parents were not at home and he was our teacher. Back then i saw a level E for the first time. She was our elementary schools nurse. One day all of a sudden she transformed into a ferocious vampire right before our eyes. Because of my ignorance my master lost one of his eyes . Even after her neck was smashed she kept fighting until the end and I became afraid of vampires for the first time. He taught me things through his own actions. So if he is going to kill me I."

"So you are just going to give up on everything just cause he wants you to?. Look at me Zero. Ugh let me in. No one will see us in here. Lets continue from where we left off last night.

Outside the classrooms...

"Didn't think that would of come out of Roselle. I' m pretty surprised myself. She handled the situation well though I have to say."

"Yes she did. She is a very kind person and handled Aidou's antics in a very mature way."

Inside the headmaster's guest room...

"I realized that this is the right thing to do for you."

"What are you saying."

"Drink my blood."

"WHAT!"

"You heard me. Drink my blood Zero it will help you."

"No. I won't be able to forgive myself."

"I'm aware of that. We'll do the most forbidden act of all."

A big surprise came as Roselle had unintentionally defended Yagari and gave some insight into what life is like in her home town and Kaname defended her against Aidou, does that mean that he is falling for her. Elaine had decided to give her blood to Zero and has maybe even revealed some of her feelings for Zero without realizing it. What will happen next? Stay tuned for the next chapter of Love brings strength and find out!
