Part 2

The streets were already crowded. The night and the stars were very beautiful, but the air was cold. As planned he went to the park. He knew a place where some homeless vampires slept. An unlucky one was still asleep in a corner. Before the homeless vampire could react, Zero had drunk all his blood. How much he hated this condition of surviving. But at least he was no longer hungry. He always had refused to drink human's blood and drinking a homeless vampire didn't bring attention.

He took the bus to go at his work. As each "morning" the bus was full of vampires going to work. He hated this new world.

He showed his pass to the security guy.

"Good morning, Jimpachi." He said as every morning with a huge smile.

"Morning Hino," replied the security guy.

"You can call me Ichiru, you know…"

"I know but I want to remain professional…We are not supposed to be friends here. I'll give you some advice, if you want a promotion , stop acting so silly all the time, show some maturity."

"Who said I wanted a promotion?" asked Zero as Ichiru.

"Come on, you don't plan to stay in there for all your life? Don't you won't to become a director someday instead of a mere farmer?"

"You have to study to become a director… Being a farmer is quite good for now."

"You should hurry, Ichiru, or you will be late, and your boss going to be mad at you again." Jimpachi adviced.

"I'll beg her pardon with a hot kiss then."

"Yeah, sure. What a goof you are Ichiru." Jimpachi laughed.

Zero hated to play this role each day but he has no choice if he wanted to start the resistance he was planning to.

A few miles away from there Yuuki woke up. She looked at the empty side of the bed near her.

"He already woke up, as always… He works too much…" She opened the drawer near her and she took the picture of her and Zero from school. Tears rolled down on her cheeks as she remembered when Kaname told her the news five years ago.

"I'm so sorry Yuuki, but Zero killed himself with the Bloody Rose. It seems he shot himself at his parent's house. You can go there if you want but all that is left is the dust of vines. It must have been too hard for him, after losing Yagari and Cross, plus the fact he always had suicide tendency. We should have insisted for him to stay with us."

Yuuki watched the picture sadly. Kaname entered the bedroom and she hid the picture under the sheets.

"How is my dear wife today?"

"Fine. You know, this time I really want to go outside this palace for once. I need to do go out with my children. I want to bring them to an amusement park for once."

"You know you can't. You are a queen, and it's too dangerous. Some humans are not happy with the situation and would try to kill the queen of vampires and her heirs. It could be a golden opportunity for those who are still rebelling."

Yuuki sighed. "I can protect myself. Besides what is the point to me always staying here. It's been years … I feel a prisoner sometimes."

"I promise you: this week end, we are all going to be out," said Kaname.

Yuuki smiled and kissed her husband.

Zero entered the huge room. As each time he had to enter the room he felt sick. Everything had happened so fast he thought. He couldn't stop the guilt from eating at his heart and soul. Everything was his fault. If only he had killed them that day but he had been too weak. His anger, his desire of revenge, his love for Yuuki was all Kaname needed to manipulated so easily. He was Kaname Kuran's toy. The pureblood was a master in manipulation and he, Zero, had been his most important chess piece. As the future king Kaname moved the "lost and blind knight." He was a pawn in the chess game. At the time, he had ignored Kaname's true plan all along. A plan which had held a common goal with his own; to kill all the purebloods. With his help, they were all killed in one way or another. Purebloods themselves fell into the spider web Kuran spined. Only Kaname and Yuuki remained. Soon after, the Council had been erased, the Hunters Association trapped in chaos and then exterminated. Without those threats Kaname became a king. One puissant ruler. There were no more hunters to protect humans. In less than a year, vampires took control of the human world and replaced them. As Yuuri had wished, vampires could live their life like normal people: going to school, laughing, crying….As she had wanted. But he didn't think either Kaien Cross, or she had wished for this.

Zero was so mad at himself. If only he have killed Kaname that day. This mistake was his burden.

"Ichiru, don't forget to feed the A+ blood type groups with more sugar today. We had a huge order from the most important chain of supermarket. They want the A+ blood type to be sweeter, it's much appreciated nowadays." Said his boss.

Zero watched at the hundred humans lying naked on the ground , completely numbs by the drugs they were forced to take. Humans were just life-stock for vampires. He was working at one of the many farms in existence. Yet he wasn't working here to earn money, or even because he had no other choice. No, it was so that he able to access the reproduction department. In Order to reproduce and give birth humans needed to be under less drugs's influence. Zero was planning to help some of them escape. Then he would make them drink his blood, train them, and they would become the new hunters. He wasn't a blind and lost knight anymore. He will lead the Resistance.
