Vampire Knight: Blood Chronicles
Chapter 4: Behind closed doors
Master handed me the gun as I still sat next to my brother lying on the ground. Our members, my family.
"Kuroskue, you must do it." I shook my head. I didnt want to. I could see my brothers arm slightly moving. He survived. I smiled as I stretched out my hand to him. He turned his head over to me. I dont understand how he could be alive after all the wounds on his body. Blood came from his mouth as he kindly smiled to me. Still, he laid on his back.
"Brother..." I forced a breath of air into my lungs. "You're alright!"
"No..." He coughed a few times. His eyes looked down at the gun that held in my small hands. Grabbing it, he held it to his neck.
"Kiroku?"
"Do it." Master placed his hand on my shoulder. I looked up to him as he nodded.
"But I cant!"
"You want me to suffer?" Kiroku spoke. I shook my head as Master interrupted my protest.
"It was a pureblood, wasnt it?" My brother nodded while still holding the gun to his neck. "When a pureblood bites a human, there is only two outcomes. They die or they become a vampire." My eyes widen as I looked down to at Kiroku. "You're brother is no longer human. He's one of them. He is something worse." I shook my head allowing more tears to fall.
"Kiroku is Kiroku!" I stared into my brothers eyes, catching my own reflection. "You're always my brother, no mater what you are or what you look like. You're still my brother! (Author: brotherly love. Its a beautiful thing. TT ) Kiroku frowned at me.
"I know. I will always be your brother." He rose his hand to pet my head.
"You give your brother a life of insanity? Each passing day, he will crave for blood. And continue to crave for it until he goes insane. He will attack you, and kill others. No longer himself. You or someone else will be forced to kill Kiroku. What difference does it make?" I heard him release something out of his back pocket. "You told me once before that you wanted to be strong like Kiroku." I looked to the side of my face as I caught a glimpse of Masters gun. "This is what Kiroku had gone through all those times he wasnt with you. He had to hunt down other Clan members as well. He had to kill Stephan. I know you've been asking about him." I stared at Kiroku as he looked away, releasing his hold on the gun.
"You killed...my best friend?" He didnt respond. Kiroku told me that Stephan had gone on a trip to meet up with his father. Stephan is a really close friend of mine. We've been friends ever since I could remember. I treated him as if he was my own family. I found it strange how he so happened to leave one day without ever saying goodbye.
"Your friend was bitten by a pureblood. And he too went insane. He attacked your brother while he was out on a hunt. Kiroku, it was Shizuka, wasnt it?"
"Yes." He said hoarsely. "Are you going to shoot me now?"
"Of course. I wont allow you to live." I grabbed the gun and pointed it to my forehead.
"I wont let you! If you want to kill him then kill me too!"
"Shut up you idiot." Master kicked me off his gun, making me fall on the ground.
"Wait." Kiroku, looked over to me. "Please, I want my brother to do it."
I would never! "No!" I shook my head. Master looked down at me.
"Its your brothers dying request. If you wont do it then I will."
"You will be a good little brother right?" He smiled at me. "It wont hurt me. I promise you. You owe me a lot Kurosuke. Please, just this one thing in a return favor. Please." There was a long silence. ...It wont hurt him right. I held up the gun to his neck. Staring at him.
"It wont hurt you...I'll be helping." He nodded. I closed my eyes while pulling the trigger, its gun shot echoing through the field. Now I know. It was the best thing for him. Had I not done so then, I most certainly wouldn't have been able to do so now.
Opening theme
:You are the only "you":
Till now and from now on
Even if there comes a time
When the whole world becomes our enemy
I'll protect you,
So dont give up, single flower
You are like a flower
That bloomed in a dark shadow
Even though you're in a place you didnt wish to be,
You cant move because of your roots
Just spit out your closed-up feelings
You are the only "you"
Till now and from now on
Even if there comes a time
When the whole world becomes our enemy
I'll protect you,
So dont give up, single flower
TIME, NOTICE THAT,
YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
YOU SHOULD NOTICE THAT
NOTCIE THAT, THERE'S NO OTHER.
I yawned walking side by side to Jason. My eyes half lit as the sun just started to emerge from the horizon. We were going to unlock the South Gate. I could see Kizumi walking our way. Does he ever go to sleep?
"Hey fuck-nut." I heard Jason's loud voice. He's such a jerk to Kizumi-san. I gave him a slight shove to get him to shut up, but he just ignored it.
"I believe the correct term of use is 'Good Morning'." Kizumi's eyes seemed to have been glaring a Jason. My partner tossed a small box that was in pretty wrapper and a nice bow over to Kizumi. Kuran caught it then glared at the box. He seemed to be a bit confused. Placing his attention back over toward Jason, he bared his fangs. ...Oh my goodness his fangs! I wanted to freak out and point at Kizumi for some random reason. I've never seen Kizumi show his fangs so loudly before. Its like he didnt care at the fact that that's a little scary to me. "This had better not be a bomb, stupid."
Jason smirked. "I take that as a complement. But no, sadly its not a bomb... its chocolate." Chocolate? What is Jason giving Kuran chocolate for?! My face blushed as my heart summoned up a stitch of jealousy, confusement, and anger. Did Jason have feelings for Kizumi? I suppose it does seem like Kyruu-kun is a sort of obsessed over Kizumi. What am I saying? Sort of? More like REALLY obsessed with Kizumi. It shouldn't be surprising that there is a possibility that Jason could develop a crush. I balled my fist in my hand but continued walking. Please dont accept his feeling Kizumi-sempai!
We we're only a few more steps away from walking past Kuran. The air grew thick as always with each second passing us by. I saw Kizumi raise an eye brow as if he were even more confused, frightened, amused,...um basically it was more like a 'WTF' look. Its alright Kuran, I am pretty much thinking that too. "Hmm. Sorry to be a heart breaker, but I dont go that way. However, I will give your candy away to someone else. At least it wont go to waist." I took a deep breath as a small smile curved around my lips. I guess I really shouldn't be happy about it, but...
"Tsk." He turned his head being annoyed. "You think everyone is in love with you! That box of chocolate didnt come from me lover boy. It came from Naname!" Jason's big finger pointed my way as it was and inch away from my nose. He'd better get that finger out of my face if he knows what's good for him. Wait, did he just say that candy was mine? "I was just being nice since her candy heart box was totaled yesterday! And as if I'd ever fall in love with you! That was a pure insult!" Jason then folded his arms.
"This is a rare good deed from you." Kuran's voice sounded surprised as he finally walked passed us. "I shall accept this box of candy, Naname." His eyes glanced at mine. They almost took my breath away as a dark blush came over my face. "I hope the Apocalypse isn't coming Jason. Never would I think of you taking the time to wrap a box to such perfection. You're just a bit as girly as you claim me to be." He chuckled as Jason stopped to stick his middle finger behind Kizumi. What a wuss. If Jason was a real man, he would have done that in Sempai's face.
"He's right. I shouldn't have wrapped it..." Jason's eyes widen in horror as he looked down at his palms. "I dont know who I am anymore. Wrapping gifts like that...so chick like." Oh brother. --' I stared at Jason as if he was crazy. I think he's having a freak out moment. Jason is probably going to go back to his room and burn all of the wrapping paper. Wrapping paper. He wrapped my gift up for me.
"Jason...you wrapped my chocolates up for me. Thank you." I smiled a bit which soon turned into of a glare. "But did you have to give it to him like that?! I wanted to give Kizumi my present on my own! You're such a jerk! ...Are you even listening to me?!"
"What?"
I made a loud growl and fanned myself to cool off. "But anyway, I thought you ate all of my chocolates." He stopped staring at his hands as if the were freaks to look at me.
" I stuck all the ones that taste nasty back into that box." For a moment, there was a long silence. It was a super gay baby.
"..."
"... scratches head"
"...You mean... you ... you bit off my hard working candy chocolates of hearted feelings, decided on which ones tasted bad, wrapped it up into a box, then gave it to KIZUMI!!" He continued to scratch his head while laying his other hand in his jacket pocket then shrugged.
"Yep, pretty much." I held back my balled fist and tamed the fire that was surrounding me and bursting out of my ears. No not literally. My stone broach cant do to much fire bending in the morning speaking that sun gives it that power. So no, we cant do fire magic at night. Hey, this could actually be a plot for the next Power Rangers.
SOME GUY WEARING A RED SHIRT: Red Ranger Make Up! holds my red broach as fire surrounds him and some miraculous way, it turns into metal armor.
I wonder how the transformation saying "Make Up!" from Sailor Moon ended up in there. ...whatever, on with the day dream
GAY BACKROUND MUSIC: plays as dude transforms Power Ranger Mystic Broaches! Power Ranger Mystic Form! Power Ranger Mystic Botches! ...ect
SOME GUY WEARING A RED SHIRT: the enemy shoots him with their lazier beam in the middle of his transformation as the song stops all of a sudden HOO-WWAAALLLL!! falls onto the ground ...Very VERY slowly with sparks exploding behind him. WAAALLLL!! is still yelling from the excitement of fireworks shooting off behind him as he finally hits that ground with his last words of defeat WWAALLL!! sperms around on the ground
Now that's just plain old cheating. They cant attack someone while they transform. Their interrupting the best part of the whole thing. ...I thought the Red Ranger was defeated already. So why is he still squirming around? Hmm... ya know what? I'm done with this day dream. Its on crack.
Um...Anyway yeah, I was pretty pissed off at Jason. Ready to raise hell to be exact. In an instant another day dream came into my head.
ME: MMMUUUWWWHHHAAAAHAHAA HHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAA!! the sky is blood shot red as everything around is dissolved into crumbling chaos.
JASON: is running, running, pants, and... is still running.
ME: How dare you give those chocolate candies to Kizumi-sempai! I'm floating closer and closer to match his speed. With one hand above my head to call down powers from Zeus Your slobber in...
HOLD THE DAY DREAM! Oh no! My eyes widen in terror. Kizumi's going to open the box and see bitten off chocolate! He might even think I was the one betting off of them and eat the chocolates anyway. SHIT!! I turned back around running toward Kizumi's direction. I'll save you Kizumi-sempai! I'll save you from Jasons germs slash indirect kiss if its the last thing I do! I forced a breath of air into my lungs. An indirect KISSS!! I ran faster as if a 1000lb man who looked like Santa was chasing me and I was wearing a Twinkie suit. I could hear Jasons vocie yelling at me to come back the farther I got away. But I didnt care. Jason is an idiot. Over my shoulder I yelled to him.
"Go turn your badge in stupid!" I dont even know why I said that. I doubt it if he's going to do it. He never does what I say anyway.
ANNONCER IN MY HEAD: Does Naname save Kizumi-sempai from Jasons indirect kiss?! Does Naname's day dream character destroy Jason?! Is Red Ranger really dead? Will Jason listen to his partner and turn his badge in?!
I shall find out the first and last questions in a few moments random Announcer man!!
I pushed open the West Dorms, moving my head from left to right. Kizumi wasnt in the corridor. Would it be wrong of me if I ran into the guys side of the building? I shook my head and clutched my fist in the air putting on my determined face. No. Im here on a duty. I need Kizumi. If I bump into anyone, I'll just tell them that Im here on duty and is looking for Kizumi. Clutching my fist with my game face on, I ran up the stairs and down the hall. Their dorms room was very beautiful. Much better then the Hunters side if I do say so myself. If you keep walking in this hallway, the walls will stop and a railing would replace them. In other words, this hallway was like a bridge that connected to the rest of the males dorms. When looking down, you could see the ballroom and when looking across to your right, you could see the girls bridge. I suppose there's really no reason for us to keep the entrance way sexist because if the vampires really wanted to meet each other, they could just walk over to the other side or fly. But still, the thought of them being separate like the East Dorms suits well with us. Behind the East Gate lies two separate dorm buildings. One for girls and the other for guys. That's why I said that its a bit unfair for the vampires to be sharing the same building but im not the person who came up with the rules. I just in force them.
I began to walk a bit faster once the thought of Kizumi eating that chocolate came to mind. I dont like to curse but DAMN DAMN DAMN that Jason! I just dont understand why he has to be such a butt to me all the time. I mean, what have I ever done to him? My eyes drifted down to the floor. My boots would normally make a loud clunk but with the rich red carpet and Italian theme, I doubt it if any normal human being could hear them. My figures trace the walls as I continued walking. The tip of my nail somewhat matched the faint swirl of the wallpaper. I came to realized that I didnt even know where I was going. Any other time I had duty in this place, I'd be on the girls side and Jason would be over here. Im such a ditz. Where is everyone? They couldn't possibly be asleep already.
My spine took a shiver. Almost as if someone just got done sucking on ice then blew down my neck and lower to the crease in the middle of my back. Zmog, I wonder if the guys sleep in coffins. Now that would be just freaky!
My finger tips continued to trace the wall until it came upon something hard. Um... not like that but... It was wood. In fact, it was the trimming of a tag next to the door. It said Kuran, Ki ... someone had stuck a piece of notebook paper over the last bit. I whispered, making sure of not to wake anyone up.
"Kuran Headquarters. Beware any trust passer! Beware! Vampires rule!! P.S. Sorry about drinking your Starbucks Frapchino! It was good though. ... I just thought you might have wanted to know... just incase you thought you wasted you money yeah...It was good. --Jacob" Um.. ok. I dont think Kizumi got this yet. And is it even legal to have a name tag of the person who's the man target of a psycho vampire hunter? I mean, what if Jason was looking to kill Kizumi again? All he has to do is walk around the dorm hallways for a little while and spot the only room that has a name tag on it, and the person he's looking for. Im going to have to ask Headmaster to change that.
When reaching for the door handle, I noticed that It was parsley cracked open. I stuck my head through the door. Even though its morning outside, some dorm rooms dont have regular windows. Like in here, the sunlight is completely tinted. The light can get through, but the tint is so dark, it looks as if its night in here. But most of the time, the Night Class cover the windows with their drapes. All I could see was the bathroom to the left and a set of double doors to the right. In the middle was and office desk closet to the windows and a few chairs with a wall to wall book shelving. I looked around in amazement. He has his own library in here. I wonder what I would have on my shelves if this was my own. Manga, manga, anime, manga, yaoi, action figures! I smiled, silencing my giggle. Maybe I shouldn't get any yaoi. I dont want Jason going through my stuff.
JASON: You pervert!
ME: Im not! Im not! Why are you always going through my stuff?! You're the perv! I bet, you've been in my underpants drawer!
JASON: Wha-what?! I have not!
I took a sigh. Too much trouble. Clutching a stern hold of the notebook paper, it made a loud crinkle noise. Oops, maybe I took a hold of this paper a bit too stern.. ly. ... is that a word?
Walking closer to the .. I thought.. closed doors it seem that this one was half opened too. Whats going on with these doors around here? Do I have to ask headmaster to change the door handles and locks too? As a matter of fact, Kizumis's door shouldn't have even been unlocked either. Specially him being the head-ancho, Kizumi should know better. I dont mean to sound like a mom, but he should. I sighed again. Wow im sighing a lot. I wonder if that's ok for my health.
Before I pushed the door I could hear a bit of panting. What is he doing? I wonder if... could he be excising?! Kizumi with no shirt on and sweating; wouldnt that be a treat. I just might have to thank Jason later. I expected the bed to be right in front of me when I opened the door but no, give me the trouble of having to turn my head to look over and behind the door. A.k.a the bed is to the right of the room against a wall about 15 feet from the door. And man was it a big room. The lights were off but the tinted sun supported enough sunlight to see. This was huge!! If he wanted to, he could have his own party in here.
"Kizu--" My voice escaped my throat as my heart took a jump from my chest. My mind ran around in circles. Feelings crushed and eyes wanted to just all of a sudden burn into a whole of fire.
Kizumi laid there. His back against the sheets with his chest laid bare. Slightly damped blackish brown strains of hair went their separate ways against the pile of pillows. His dark maroon eyes stared up to the ceiling and with one quick glow of red, they then shut closed. His face was flushed with two lines of blood flowing from the corner of his mouth. My eyes went to the girl that was laying on top of him. Her finger nails digging deep into skin as her mouth rested over his... I dare not to say... Oh wait, its not that part! I mean over his chest! The little nudge that lingers over his chest. You know the- the- the nipple! Its hard for me to say that, it makes me cringe!
Her long silver hair flowed like a sheet of satin silk to the floor; covering the top part of her body. Her name was Angel. Angel Chrishette. She was a new transfer student from America. A vampire. I hadn't meet her in person until now; just read her file. She was truly a beautiful girl. In fact, she looked as if she could be an angel. Her hair was as long as her height which was 5 feet 6. Her eyes were a dark shade of blue and curves clung to her.
From the waist down was barred under a cluster of sheets and thank goodness for that fact to. My eyes were burning from pure ugliness. I couldn't believe what I was seeing. I must be dreaming. Finally, I regained the access to control my eyes. Opening, then closing them. Nothings happening. Im still here! Forcing my head to look down I starred at my feet. What am I still standing here for? I have to get out of here. I mean, everyone needs their privacy. I should have knocked like any other normal person what have done. Or called out or something. I turned my attention toward the door. But my feet weren't moving. Move Damnit! They finally moved, that is, they began to tremble and shake like a leaf.
I didnt want to, but I looked back at them to see if they noticed me standing here. And no, they didnt. They're so busy doing...what their doing, that they dont even realize that Im standing here! My feet wont stop shaking, my heart is pounding faster and louder. How could Kizumi do this to me? ...What am I saying? Kizumi hasn't even bother to look my way. I wonder if its because of the way I look... I dont compare to Angel. That is, the Angel from the fiery pits of hell! And yes, im going back to my hellish evil mind again. Angel of all things bad and complete envy! Aren't you vampire are suppose to have super hearing or something? Even if I cant say anything, you're suppose to hear me standing here right? Well then what is it? My heart not pounding loud enough for you, Kizumi? My blood not tasty enough for you? Is it because I dont have silver hair or red eyes? Is it because Im not a vampire? Im too short! That's what it is. I can barley reach 5' 3''. But even so, The headmaster bought me these special boots to make my height taller. Well I guess they're not that special... they mach my school uniform. Wait, I know what it is, im not big boobed enough! This is all my fault. Why wont you look my way Kizumi? I wonder why... He must not think anything of me. What is it? What are the things that I cant compare to? "JUST TELL ME WHAT IT IS!" Tears exploded from my eyes but I didnt even make a cry. It was just pure silence. I could feel Kizumi and his hoer staring at me. I cant believe I just said that out loud. And why did my voice now come back?! My glance lingered on the floor. Oh man, what do I do now?
:Hi Miss Alice:
Do you remember me?
The person who's always with you?
Who's always with you...
And only with you...
Angelic kisses upon your small forehead
Promises must be kept
Slowly, I walk away from your extended hand
Grab my heart, so lonely
Still you do not answer
Still you do not remember
