I'm back with another chapter. I would like to say something first, if you don't mind. Two people PM'd me about a RedBootton. I believe that the person that created it, Lord Kelvin, can't go deleting stories just because he/she does not like them. As one of the Pms said, we are humans so we can't expect perfection. Besides, phrase is 'Unleash you imagination' so we all have the right to write whatever we can. Lord Kelvin violated one of the ToS so I think is a great injustice for him/her to do as he/she do what she pleases while other authors loose their accounts. However, if the time comes and my account gets deleted that doesn't mean that I will stop posting stories. I will simply post them elsewhere. In my opinion every writer against this must unite and do something about this since the administrators have not done something so far.

Anyway, sorry for the long note but I just had to say my opinion.

A/N: The fighting scene sucks since I have never written one. This story is almost coming to an end.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or any of it's wonderful characters even though I'm glad that I don't own Yuki.

Chapter 13

"He's here!" Kaname screamed as loud as he could. That was not news to the rest of the cast. They all sensed the strong presence of the pureblood vampire alongside with a bunch of human. One of them had an aura similar to Zero's, only weaker. That must be his dad.

Kaname frowned at the thought of fighting Taki. He knew about the special bond that Zero had with his dad. It was unlike any other, the love of both a father and a mother. He did not know anything about Zero's mother but he did know that she was not alive at the moment. Taki has taken care of Zero all this time. It pained Kaname to keep Zero away from his only family. However, he could not risk Zero being near to Rido. Rido has already taken too much from them.

"What do you want us to do, Kaname-sama?" Ruka asked.

"I want every staff at this castle blocking every entrance. Do whatever it takes to keep the castle, and Zero, safe" Kaname immediately ordered.

Ruka nodded and proceed to look for some of the staff that was not present at the moment. The rest of the present staff nodded as well and proceed to do their requested task.

Every single being in the castle tried to block the entrance, from couches to tables. Kaname watched as everyone blocked every single his uncle. He was not going to give up now. He needed to show Zero that he can always thrust in Kaname.

He positioned himself, ready to attack once the villagers knocked out the door. It did not take a lot of time. It all happened so quick. before they knew it, the entire castle was filled with angry people with torches and guns.

The fight was not going to be easy. Kaname knew that much. The villagers seemed well trained as well. But he was going to fight with all his might. He is going to show Rido what is the true power of a pureblood vampire. He's going to liberate the entire people of the castle from the spell and he will reclaim his kingdom once he returns to his tru form. It was a promise he made to himself and to Zero.

There were not too much villagers but there were enough to cause a great ammount of damage. Everyone was carrying a weapon except for Rido, who stood in front of the crowd with an evil smirk on his face. He had his arms crossed while his eyes showed nothing more than complete amusement as he stared at Kaname, who had his fist clenched and eyes glaring. A loud chuckle escaped from Rido's lips, the sound seemed to be annoying Kaname to high levels.

"I see you don't know when to give up" Rido commented, looking around his surroundings. Some of the staff, or furniture, were knocked down at the floor.

'Weak, as I expected' he thought.

"I can say the same thing to you, uncle" Kaname said the last part as if it was poison. Disgusting and repulsive poison.

"How about I show you just how weak I am?"

"I thought you were never going to ask"

And so the fight begun...

Zero walked around the same library, his fist clenched as he walked from side to side around the room. He was worried about Kaname...and a little scared. Who would be scared after some guy takes you by force? His fer did not matter at the moment. Rido was strong. He already proved that to both Zero and Kaname. He was afraid that Kaname could not make it. Sure, the pureblood was strong as well, but maybe it isn't enough.

CRASH

Zero heard a crashing sound. Probably from something made out of glass. Screams could be heard all over the way there, both known and unknown aura invaded the entire castle. One of those was too familiar...

"Dad!" Zero exclaimed. There was no doubt that the aura he was sensing was from his dad. His dad was in between one dangerous fight. He could not allow his dad to get hurt. Or Kaname. But how could he fight against them? He was just an ex-human. He had no chance against Rido. There had to be something around this place that could help him.

Zero checked the main desk, where Kaname stored some of his most precious item. Over it was a golden box, weird symbols surrounding them. Zero was surprised to find it unlocked even though he knew that nobody would probably visit the castle to steal it. So locking the box would be useless. He opened it, revealing a silver gun that had the name 'Bloody Rose' beautifully engraved. He picked the gun and checked if it was charged, which it was.

Zero has never actually handled a gun. He has never seen one either. He never thought that he would actually have to use one. Furthermore, he will willingly use one if it meant that he could save his loved ones.

He ran downstairs as fast a she could, gun in hand and determination written all over his face.

The first thing he saw when he arrived to his destination was Kaname pinning Rido at the wall, his large hand was chocking Rido. The other vampire pushed Kaname away with his extra strength, punching him in the process. Kaname let out a small gasp as he felt one arrow in his leg. He would heal in a while so it did not matter much.

"Zero!" the silver haired boy heard a familiar voice calling to him. Taki was the one who did such think. In his hands he was holding a bow with some arrows. Zero gasped once he realized that his dad was the one that shot Kaname. However, he cannot bring himself to hate his dad for that. The look of concern that his dad was showing to him made Zero forget about Kaname's hurt leg for a while. It did not last long as he heard an agonized scream coming from Kaname.

"Kaname!" both Yuki and Zero screamed as they saw Rido biting hard on Kaname's already wounded leg. Two coat hangers appeared above Rido and tossed them one heave metal block, hitting Rido straight on the arms that was having hold of Kaname.

"Shit" Rido cursed as he drew away his arms.

Shizuka hid in a corner, not doing anything at all to stop the fight. The frown covering her face made very clear that she did not wants this fight to continue.

"Get away from here, Zero!" Kaname screamed at the silver haired boy.

"I won't leave you alone here, Kaname.! This is my fight too!" Zero screamed back. His response surprised his dad and the villagers, who stopped fighting and looked at Zero.

"Are you insane boy? This beast is nothing but danger" Taki tried warning Zero as he glanced at Kaname, who resumed his position of fighting Rido. They all saw as Kaname kicked hard one of Rido's ribs. A nasty cracking sound was heard all over the room before it was replaced by yet another agonized scream The villagers frowned at Kaname as they saw them beating the crap out of one of the most respected men in their entire village.

"Kaname is not dangerous, dad. Not to me and not to you. I know that at first he was a complete bastard but..."Zero caressed his necklace, "he changed. For better"

"But Rido told us..."one of the villagers stared before they were cut off by Zero.

"Rido has said nothing but lies to you. He's the danger here. Not Kaname" Zero told the entire villagers.

Murmurs were heard from the group of people there. Zero heard things like 'What if he's telling the truth?' or 'How do we even know that he isn't brainwashed or something?'.

"Are you sure that we can thrust that beast?" Taki asked his son.

Zero nodded.

"I'm very sure"

"If you say so, Zero, then we believe in you. Right?" Taki asked the entire village. They looked a little doubtfully at them at first but ended up nodding. The purpose was to save Zero and if he was not in any kind of danger than there was no need to fight.

Rido heard the entire conversation and did not like it one bit so as soon as Kaname was thrown into the end of the room he ran towards Taki, taking a hard hold of him.

Kaname rapidly got up and noticed Rido's action.

"Dad!" he heard Zero scream as his poor father was at the hold of the evil pureblood.

Taki was about to speak until Rido revealed his own claws and shoved them deep into Taki's stomach, blood coming out very fast. Too fast. Tears were coming out from his eyes at the immense pain he was feeling at the moment. He was being ripped apart for crying out loud.

"Ze...ro" Taki choked out before falling unconscious on the floor.

Zero was trembling now. Rido let out one of his infamous chuckles as he saw the unconscious old man on the floor. Rido's gaze went from the bloody Taki to Zero. His eyes went from the odd coloring he had to a very dangerous shade of red. Zero gulped, sweat sliding from his forehead to the floor, his entire body trembling as Rido got near him.

"Don't. You. Dare. To. Get. Near. Zero" Kaname warned.

Rido rolled his eyes. The threat or even the tone did not scared him at all. It only made things more fun in his own twisted way.

"What are you going to do about it?" Rido ran to Kaname, giving the beastly pureblood a punch on the face, making the pureblood wince a little. Juri and Haruka were right in front of Yuki trying to cover the truly repulsive scenery that was happening right inside their beloved home. The scent of blood was intense. It could be seen almost anywhere within the large room.

"He won't do anything, Rido" Zero responded to the question, making both Kaname and Rido stop their actions.

"And why is that?" Rido asked in amusement.

"Because..." Zero pointed Bloody Rose at Rido, his fingers on the trigger and ready to shoot, "I want to be the one that can finally send you to hell"

Kaname was not glad with Zero's decision. He found it completely suicidal. But Kaname was ready to help Zero. He took hold of Rido's hands before he got the chance to escape and held him still. Soon, every other living in the castle, including the villagers, surrounded the area. They were all ready to hold Rido back once they escape.

SHOOT

The rest happened so fast. Without any hesitation Zero pulled the trigger, one anti-vampire bullet came out from the gun and slammed hard in Rido's chest. It trespassed his heart in one swift movement.

"This is not over" they all heard Rido mumbling before turning into nothing but dirty ashes.

Kaname sighed in relief. Zero was safe now. As for Zero, he was not feeling so good. Not only did he take one life but his dad was loosing his own life as well.

Zero kneeled down besides his dad. He felt his chest moving. The movement was slow and barely visible. Taki did not have much time...

TBC...

Cliffhanger. There is only one chapter left for this story. Will Taki die or will he remain alive? Will I ever learn to do a good fighting scene? Will I stop asking so many questions?

Reviews will help me answer ;).

First five reviews for this chapter will get a small preview. Thank you so much for reading and sorry for the long wait. I finished this at 1:00 am yesterday and I was going to upload this fast but I was having internet problems.

Love,
