Author's note: Hello readers, here is the next chapter as promised. It may be a short while before the next lbs update but not too long. Also I would encourage all of you to take part in my poll. All you have to do is review my story and leave your thoughts on who each character would be in a real life high school situation. Oh and please let me know what you think of the new pictures of Roselle and Elaine drawn by ~Define-X(she is a very talented artist). I will re-publish this since my editor is incapacitated at the moment. But for now please ignore any imperfections
Disclaimer: I only own my original characters.
The situation doesn't seem good for our heroines. Elaine is trying to prevent Zero from interfering so Shizuka will save Zero from becoming a level E. Kaname has come between Roselle and Aiden refusing to allow her to fight wanting to kill Aiden himself. Will there be a happy ending for our friends?
Outside at the fountain...
Roselle's thoughts-" Wait did he just say that he loves me? What do I do? I can't bring myself to confess to him. Why is that? Kaname get out of the way. I need to be the one to do this not you! He hasn't caused you pain. Let me fight Kaname!"
Kaname ignores Roselle's desperate pleas and engages Aiden in an unavoidable battle.
Inside 'Shizuka's room'...
"What do you mean by 'she can save me'".
"If you drink her blood you won't become a level E you'll just be a normal vampire".
Shizuka pushes Elaine to the side and tries to bite her but in a fit of rage Zero tries to shoot Shizuka when a katana suddenly appears out of nowhere and pierces his arm. He turns to see a silver haired man step in front of Shizuka protectively and removes his mask.
"ICHIRU!"
"I won't let you die here Shizuka".
"-sighs- Don't worry Ichiru. Zero and I have unfinished business".
Shizuka turns to leave but forgets that she had let Elaine go unnoticed.
"Oh no you don't. You're not get away that easily Shizuka".
Elaine grabs her gun and manages to evade Ichiru and runs after Shizuka".
"What's a matter Zero? Have you missed me. We haven't seen each other since I left with Shizuka after she killed our parents. Don't you know that it was because of me that she spared you?"
"Shut up Ichiru".
Zero and Ichiru began to fight.
Back at the water fountain...
The fight between Kaname and Aiden rages on. Roselle screams at Kaname to be careful. Fearful that things would make a turn for the worse Roselle blindly steps in front of Kaname and is thrown back by the force of Aiden's attack and is rendered unconscious for a brief moment. Angry, Kaname attacks Aiden without mercy furious that he had harmed Roselle. Roselle wakes up to see that the fight had become more intense.
" Kaname what are you doing! Don't be so rash you're going to get yourself killed!"
"What's a matter Roselle afraid your little hero's going to die".
"SHUT UP YOU MONSTER!"
Inside the hallway in the old night class dormitory...
Elaine manages to get in front of Shizuka and tries to stop her but Shizuka lunges towards her and manages to slash her chest leaving a deep gash on her chest(below her breasts).
"You're gonna pay for what you did to Zero , Shizuka".
-Bang-
Shizuka turns around just in time for the bullet to pierce her heart killing her. Then Elaine collapsed on to the floor gripping her chest. Zero smelled her blood and rushes to find her.
"ELAINE!"
"Z-Zero what are you doing. I thought you were fighting Ichiru".
"He heard the gun shot and ran to find Shizuka. I ran to find you once I smelled your blood without a second thought".
"Uh t-thanks for your concern but I will be fine".
"No you're not fine we need to get you to the nurse".
"I-I be fine Zero let's just go back to our dorms and forget all about this".
"Why are you refusing my help you're bleeding heavily for god's sake".
"Cause you make me blush when you try to carry me".
"It does?"
"Wait did I just say that out loud? Um, I'm going to go now".
Elaine goes to leave but Zero grabs her arm and turns her around and embraces her.
"I love you Elaine. Why won't you let me help you".
"I-I don't know let's just-"
"Why Elaine".
"BECAUSE I LOVE YOU AND IT'S HARD TO ACCEPT IT!"
"It doesn't need to be hard. Be my girl?"
Elaine wipes the tears out of her eyes and embraces Zero.
"Yes. Now can we please do something about this wound before I pass out".
Zero laughs and kisses Elaine on the lips and guides her to the infirmary.
Meanwhile...
The battle between Kaname and Aiden had escalated. Aiden for a split second loses focus and Kaname manages to get a hold of him.
"You're days of tormenting Roselle are over".
Before Aiden can speak Kaname decapitates him , turning him to dust. He walks up to Roselle who runs into his arms crying.
"It's okay Roselle".
"I'm not crying cause of what you did. I'm crying cause I can't believe that I'm finally free. I'm going to go back to the dorm. Are you going to go back to the dance?"
" I have to clear things up with the others first before they start getting ideas".
Later on inside the moon dorm...
Roselle is walking towards her room when Ruka and the others approach her.
"Are you alright Roselle. Kaname told us about what happened".
"Yeah I'm fine".
Yuki busts into the dorm.
"Is everything alright I overheard about what happened".
"Yes everything is fine Yuki".
One of the maids walks up to Roselle with a telephone in her hands.
"Miss Roselle you have a phone call from someone name Camille".
"Really?"
Roselle grabs the phone.
"Hey Camille how's everything going".
"Not so good".
"What's wrong?"
"Nikki dropped out of the wedding. I need you to come to Dublin and be my maid of honor. Will you do it? You can invite all of your friends too".
"I told you not to ask Nikki to do the wedding. But of course I will do it. I'll tell my friends to pack their bags and let my parents know. Break is coming up next week anyway so it shouldn't be a problem".
"REALLY! THANK YOU SO MUCH ROSELLE".
"N problem. See you soon".
Roselle hangs up the phone and rushes to catch Yuki to tell her to pack her bags and to tell Elaine and Zero that they are all invited to come to Ireland during break for her cousin's wedding. Then runs off to tell Ruka, Shiki, Rima, Ichijo, Aidou, Kain and Kaname about the trip hoping they will say yes.
Looks like a happy ending for now. What awaits our friends in Ireland. Will strange things happen or will it be smooth sailing for them. Find out next time in Love brings strength.
Please review and remember, NO FLAMES NO MATTER WHAT.
