And if you're wondering why this is rated Mature...you'll find out later.

Thoughts of You

Zero's P.O.V

Lately I didn't know what was wrong with me, I kept looking at Senri only to catch him staring at me, with this wanting look. It was the way some of the shyer girls stared at the Vampires. For some reason, I was quite…okay with him looking at me. I found that in a way I didn't mind it.

I stared up at my ceiling, closing my eyes. I wanted to get some sleep, but I couldn't get myself o fall asleep. Instead I got out of my bed and wandered outside into the hallway. It was deserted, grabbing my coat from inside I went outside for a walk. Maybe a little walking would tire me out…I sighed, looking down at my feet.

I stepped out into the autumn breeze, letting it whip my hair. My hands found themselves in my pockets and I was walking towards Cross Academy. Maybe there would be someone to deal with, hopeful thinking. I know.

Another sigh escaped my lips, and I look towards Cross Academy. The Vampires would be in class right now. My brows furrowed as I remembered, that I myself was one. I felt like someone had dropped a rock onto my heart, because it was getting heavier.

I closed my eyes, trying hard to forget the past, and what seemed to be my fate. I would die eventually…E-Vampires always got out of control, they were always killed. I would leave everyone, but maybe that was a good thing. Yuuki would be better off without me, but before I left I wanted—

My thoughts diverted as I felt a pair of eyes on me. I looked over my shoulder, and saw…Senri Shiki watching at me. His head tilted to the side with a soft smile over his lips. I looked right back, wondering why he was always staring at me.

He had a very distinct colour of eyes…a blue that seemed endless, like an ocean. Suddenly he looked away, not glancing back once, even though I stood there for a few minutes staring at him.

I looked back towards the Boys Dorms, thinking that I should get some sleep and refrain from staring back at those who starred at me. I began walking back, pondering why the model vampire was always watching me. Was he a spy for Kaname? It could be, but why such a…smitten look? Was it even a smitten look? I gave up in frustration, and quickened my pace to my dorm.

I ran up the stairs to my room, opened the door and threw my coat off on a nearby chair. I plopped into bed and felt my eyes get heavy. I was asleep in a few minutes.

-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-:-

"Zero!" My eyes slowly parted as I saw Chairman Cross shaking me so I would wake up.

"WHAT!?" I screamed. I was in no mood for his antics. Actually I was never in the mood for his stupidity.

He backed off meekly, "I only came to wake you up because there's an E-Vampire in the town." I glanced at the clock above my room door, I had slept for no less than 4 hours.

"You just had to wake me up at 5 in the morning didn't you?" I grumbled, getting out of bed. I went straight into my bathroom and brushed my teeth amongst other things. When I got out of my bathroom, Chairman Cross was seated on my bed, waiting for me. I went to my closet, put on my uniform and then got into my coat.

"He's killed almost two people. You need to catch him and kill him quickly before anyone else gets hurt." He informed me.

"Alright." I nodded, grabbing my gun from within my closet. I walked out of the dorms, heading straight for town. I was going to go alone, it was better not to have Yuuki come along. She would just hurt, and I couldn't let that happen. I stepped outside and began walking towards Cross Academy's gates.

It was going to take me about half an hour to get to the village; hopefully I would find the vampire in time, before he hurt or killed someone else. I was at the gates, and looked back at Cross Academy before turning around to my walk to town.

I watched the sun as it slowly made it's way into the sky, shinning light orange luminosity over the surrounding scenery. It was beautiful; almost breath-taking, beautiful. I trudged on, looking into the trees and the surrounding landscape. Autumn didn't leave much untouched and I saw almost all the trees shedding there leaves, or changing colours.

I closed my eyes, fighting my will to stop it from remembering what Autumn brought. Those blankets of white that covered the earth only reminded me of her. She had attacked on a winter night, taking everyone with her, even Ichiru. I had no one now, but maybe it was better that way, I seemed to hurt people, wherever I was, just like Ichiru.

The town was getting nearer and my thoughts of self-hate stronger. I would kill her one day, for taking everything away from me. I'd cut her head right off…I closed my eyes, letting a single tear fall down my cheek. I will avenge you all.

Leaves crunched underneath my boots as I walked, swiftly but quietly. I could see the lights of a few of the townspeople's houses on; although I was quite sure it was only around 5:30 in the morning. My hands were deep in my pockets, with a good grasp on my gun. I entered the town, finding no one out on the streets; then again it was early in the morning. My breath came out in white puffs and I could feel my nose and ears getting red. I scanned around the street for any sign of a possible vampire, hiding in the dark or maybe in one of the small alleys.

I looked into one particular alley and feeling drawn, I entered. My eyes scanned the alley, only to see garbage bins and other trash piled up against the walls of the buildings that made up the alley. I walked quietly through the alley, in case th4e vampire was hiding in it, my hand tightening its' grip on the gun.

The alley led way into another street; there were a few people in this one, one getting some water from a well in the middle of the street, another setting up shop for the day. There was one little girl and she was running quickly. I watched her as she ran right down small alley. I starred at the alley for a few minutes before glancing down the other side of the street. I began walking towards the shop keeper, who was setting up.

"Excuse me?" I asked.

"Yes, my dear?" You replied. It was a middle aged woman, dressed in a light green dress and a white apron. Her dark brown hair loosely wrapped in a bun.

"Have there been any recent attacks around here?" I inquired, looking back to the alley the little girl and run into.

The lady paled, slightly, but I noticed. "Oh yes! Just yesterday my husband heard news of one of his workmates son getting attacked by some vicious monster! It tried to suck the blood right out of 'im! Terrifying! You should head right home, it was this time of day when he struck yesterday!" She immediately pulled up her skirt and scuttled into her house.

"Hmm." I looked back at the alley, and took a step towards it. Suddenly there was a scream and I bolted towards the alley pulling my gun out. My right hand clasped the metallic object, and I felt my heat race. There was another scream so I ran faster. In no time I found myself in an opening in the middle of the alley. The little girl was trying vigorously to get out of the hands of a hideous looking man. I stopped, haunted that what I saw was my fate.

Snapping out of it, I ran towards the E-Vampire, head on. I kicked it hard in the ribs, it dropped the girl, groaning in pain. She fell on her butt and crawled away as quickly as she could into a corner of the opening. I punched the Vampire square in the face. It looked right back, charging at me, I side-stepped, allowing it close to the girl, she whimpered. I threw a knife from my boot right at the thing. Hitting my target right in the back, it screamed in pain, almost like a howl. The little girl cried louder.

It turned around, looking at me with great anger. "You fool!" It spat. "That's not enough to kill me!" It laughed and ran towards me. This time I didn't get out of it's way quick enough and it slammed me right into the wall behind me. I "offed" as I hit the bricks, sliding down. Getting up I grabbed a metal bar lying next to me. My gun was out of my hands, lying close to a garbage can. He laughed manically, running at me with a hunger in his eye that even to me, was terrifying. The little girl screamed out loud. I let the thing come at me but before it could hit me again, I took the bar, pressed it onto the thing's neck and pushed it hard against the wall.

That's when I heard someone shout, "Zero, move!" I looked behind me to see Takuma…and Senri. I quickly side-stepped seeing as Takuma was coming at the E-Vampire with a sword in hand. He cut the vampire right in half, leaving it lying in a puddle of it's own blood. I stared down at it, anger flowing through my very being.

"Hi!" Takumas smiled at me. I looked back, expressionless.

"Why did I have to come?" Senri whined. I glanced at him, taking in his appearance. He had deep blue eyes, somewhat messy brown hair and a lean figure. And he was just as beautiful as any vampire.

"You came in case I couldn't have killed him." Takuma replied with a smile on his face. For a vampire he was quite happy.

I didn't say anything, besides what was I going to say anyway. Senri looked over at me before turning to look at the little girl. She was crying. He looked at her some more before walking over to her.

"It's okay, he's gone now." He whispered at her. Takuma got rid of his sword. It disappeared into nothing, and he now asid a few words and the body of the vampire disappeared too. I gazed back at Senri and began walking in the direction.

Kneeling down to a knee I answered her, "Really?"

"Yeah, he's gone, forever." Senri seemed shocked that I was sitting right next to him, and looked at me, wide-eyed. I swear I saw his cheeks get red but I made no comment.

The little girl finally stopped crying, and actually smiled. It reminded me of Yuuki somehow. "Thank-you."

"It was nothing." Senri said, smiling sweetly at her. My heart suddenly quickened up at his gentle expression. He lifted her up, getting her to her feet. I watched him rise, getting up slowly after him. My eyes glued to his face, and I had no idea why.

"Where do you live?" He asked her, taking her hand.

She said nothing, instead she looked down at her feet, blushing softly. I wanted to know why…she was like the other girls at Cross Academy, always blushing around the Night Class guys.

He smiled.

I frowned, wanting that smile directed at me.
