Kaname was walking along Ruka. She is one of the most loyal to Kaname since her feelings toward her leader is stronger than others so Kaname can feel at ease. Kaname glance at the tall tower which located beside the Kuran mansion. In the tower, there was Zero that is still sleeping. Kaname doesn't know the cause to make Zero sleep this long, the only thing he knew is that Zero memories about him is beginning to come back.
"Kaname sama, as just you order. Nobody will allow entering the tower except you."
"Good."
"Kaname sama what actually is in that tower?" Ruka asks due to curiously.
"It's something that I hold dearly too." Kaname answer as he watches the tower structure. It is build few hundred years ago and it use to kept people or weapons. The wall was being put a seal which only allow Kuran clan to enter. Zero had already drunk Kaname bloods which explain why he can be in there in the first place. Kaname decided to lock him up there so nobody can take him away.
"Kaname sama is this something you hold dearly is more important than your sword?"
"Why is it you ask? Does it bothering you Ruka?"
Ruka look down at her feet as she walks, she had feelings for Kaname ever since she set eyes on him. She was quite happy that he trust her but she can't help the feeling that Kaname was hiding something from her. She wants to know more about Kaname, his happiness, his fear, his feelings and everything but Kaname is not the type to share feelings with.
"Ruka, stays on your guard, if you continue like this you will be easily kill."
"I'm sorry Kaname Sama." She quickly bows down, apologize of her behavior.
Kaname walk away leaving her alone, he's getting tired that she keep asking him question.
It had been about more than 2 months Zero had fell into a deep slumber, he show no sign of wakening. While Zero was gone back then, Kaname had just find out how to unlock Zero memories. Kaname was happy and sad at the same time, not hearing Zero voice is very torturing. He want Zero to wake up soon so he can express all his feelings, he remember the last time Zero woke up he say he want to start over again.
Kaname walk toward the tower, he can sees the barrier surround it perfectly but human and normal vampires that isn't a pure blood can't see it. it allows only the Kuran bloodline to see it, he step in inside and climb up the stairs, the tower was very tall but Kaname just walk up not feeling tired at all. (Well, he is a vampire)
Kaname open the door, the room was big, and there was only a bed in the middle of the room. There were red and silver roses decorating the room. The ceiling was very high making the room looks bigger, Kaname look at zero again if Zero had already woken up.
Zero was dress in white, wearing a silver bracelet at his hand. The bracelet was able to help Kaname sense him, since their contract had broken. This is all he can do so he won't lose Zero again if Zero decides to leave him.
"Zero, please wake up." Kaname sit at the side of the bed and took Zero hand. He holds it gently and lovingly. Waiting for the moment to see Zero eyes open his eyes again. No luck, Zero is still the same. Sleeping, looking like a dead body. It can't be help since all vampires are like that.
"Let's travel the world together far away from here, I will throw away my family name for you. Just stay by my side till the end."
He lay down beside Zero, he was also very tired. He put his hand around Zero and felt asleep. He knew that they are safe as long they stay in the tower.
Ichiro watch the big mansion from the highest cliff, it was the Kuran mansion. After this whole time he had finally found it. Finally able to have Zero back and kill Kaname. He had gathered all the vampire hunters using his family name. He smile knowing they had greater number than Kaname. He is going to win.
"For the sake of the future, kill Kaname and take his head!" Ichiru shouted and held his sword up high.
The entire vampire hunter shout with agreement, the day had finally come to show which one is more powerful.
"They're attacking, warn everyone." Shouted Ruka surprise to see vampire hunters appear out of nowhere and was running toward them.
The sound of the warning bell was heard; vampires gather their weapons and ready to take their position.
"Where's Kaname, find him and take him somewhere safe." Ruka order.
She can hear the sound of rebellion is getting louder, she was beginning to feel scare to see a great number of them, beginning to have thoughts that they might not stand the chance. She takes the most nearest weapon to her and joins the other crowds of vampire, since Kaname is not here yet she has to take the lead. She must protect Kaname with all her life.
Ichiru laugh to see one by one of the vampire being slain, he can finally prove that humans are stronger than vampire. He look toward the highest tower, using Shizuka power, he can scent Zero.
"I'm here to take you back."
Kaname heard the warning bell and quickly woke up, he take his weapon, the anti vampire sword. He knew it would work perfectly on hunter too since he had obtain the full power. He left the room not realizing that Zero hand is moving.
Ichiru join his comrades and slay the vampires, every one of them will become his prey. Ruka jump from above and try to chop his head. Ichiru quickly dodge, and kick her leg. She fell down and her knee is bleeding and it heals up very quickly. Ichiru was amused watching Riku get back up on her feet.
"Sorry I have to kill you pretty lady."
Vampires are use their power beyond limit, Kaname safety is the first priority. Blood was spill everywhere, can't tell who it belongs too.
As the time pass, Ichiru feel something wrong, the hunters is decreasing rapidly almost the same number as the vampires. He eyes glare and grip the sword tightly looking at Kaname walking toward him calmly.
"Kaname!" He shouted as he begin to attack Kaname.
Kaname smirks showing no sign or fear.
"Come and get me."
Inside the tower, the flower was growing; their thorns are growing longer and sharper. Their colors are turning darker, matching the night sky. The flower were circling around Zero, they keep growing and grow until it reach very high. Zero was feeling very tired, his eyes won't open. He keep forcing himself to open it since he keep hearing screaming louder and he can somehow hear Ichiru and Kaname voice. He doesn't like the sound of it, the smell of blood is so strong.
He opens his eyes, looking around and sees black roses everywhere.
'Bloody rose'. Zero whisper.
The flowers stop growing, Zero move his finger and the flower move as it follows Zero fingers. Zero then smile knowing he can control it free will.
"Take me to Kaname."
A loud sound of explosion was heard, everyone look at the same direction seeing the top of the tower was destroy.
"Zero!" Kaname shouted worry of what just happen. He ran toward the tower follow by Ichiru. No matter how much Ichiru want to kill Kaname, he is more worry about his brother safety.
They both stop to see Zero was walking toward them bare foot. He was surrounded with black roses and thorn. He smiles toward Kaname and Ichiru. Ichiru try not to fell down seeing Zero like that, Zero eyes were red as if the same as Kaname, Zero hair was turn from silver to black, and he is skinnier and paler. He is more beautiful than the last time Ichiru saw him, he can't even tell if they're twins anymore. Zero had change from just a short time.
Zero walk toward them, his face is very tempting. They both can feel a strong power came from Zero.
"Zero…." Kaname finally said after a long silent. "You had become the new pure blood vampire."
Ichiru eyes were wide open is shock. "Don't compare Zero with a vampire!"
"You still a human right? You can't be a vampire, you're not complete."
Zero smiling face was change to sad expression. "I'm sorry brother, this is who I am, I choose this path."
Ichiru had lost it, he is feeling with anger and sadness. He swings his sword toward Kaname but before he can hit him. He couldn't move, the flowers were preventing him from going any further. Ichiru turn to look back at his brother.
"Is this what you choose?"
Zero nodded, the flower pushes Ichiru so he won't be close to Kaname. Zero bow respectably at Kaname.
"Kaname, even if I had become a pure blood. I wish to stay by your side."
"Zero….."
Ichiru cover his face, it's too late. Zero has no longer become his. Zero doesn't belong to him anymore, Kaname had taken him away.
