(A/N: Sorry about the long wait... I had major block. This came out nicely though)
Chapter Five: Behind the Door
The door creaked open slowly and Kaname's long, slender fingers curled around the doorframe and he entered into the room. "I heard my name," Kaname's cool voice chimed. Zero glared at the ignorant pure blood, sending waves of hatred. "I don't believe that is the best thing to do!" He leapt at Zero and bared his freakishly large claws, slashing Zero's cheek. Maroon red blood crept slowly down his pale face, as if he were crying his own blood. A crimson flash of red danced into his eyes, then quickly disappeared as Zero pinned Kaname to the ground. The pure blood smiled, and swatted Zero off, as though he was a fly. Yuuki had seen enough and started at Kaname, only to be also thrown somewhere in corner of the room.
"Eek!" Yuuki squealed as she hit the wall, where she passed out. Zero got to his feet again and charged as Kaname. Rima and Shiki also joined the battle. Rima threw her parasol, which missed by inches and tore a hole through the wall. A long red streak of blood soared past as Shiki managed to land a blow on Kaname with his blood manipulating ability.
"Urgh!" Kaname winced at the pain, then slashed Shiki to the ground. Rima retrieved her parasol and, aiming at Kaname, sent lightning, which hit Kaname square in the chest. He fell. Seeing Kaname's defeat, Zero walked over to his body.
"It's over." He looked ruefully at the room, where splatters of blood dotted the walls. He turned to make his way over to the door. But not after two steps, a cold presence could be felt from behind Zero's back. A cold breath caressed his neck, and Zero could feel Kaname's hand through his abdomen. Blood trickled down, and Yuuki, who had just woken up, let out a scream.
"It's pureblood, bitch." Kaname breathed.
"ZERO! ZERO-KUN!" Yuuki quickly got up and scrambled toward Kaname. The world started spinning, however, due to her head injury. As her eyes flitted close, the last thing she saw were Kaname's icy stare.
