"Shizukana?"
The person look at him, his eyes is still red. He then place his hand at his front, his tears came out. "Rido, is he really your father."
Senri slowly nodded, he looks at Senri eyes then he moves his hands and touches Senri eyelids. "You had a very innocent face different from your father; I can't believe you are even related to him."
"You got that right Shizukana." Senri smiles, but that person didn't smile at all. He just looks at Senri, look him with those sad eyes. He was telling something, something hurtful. "What's your real name Shizukana?
The person just look at him, he stroke Senri hair and then pull Senri toward him. "You had already known my name."
"I did?" Senri says confusedly.
Takuma quickly got up from the ground realizing that the sun is setting, how long has he been sleeping. He look around seeing Ichiru with his eyes open was sitting under the tree admiring the sun sets.
"How long has I been sleeping?" Takuma asks, Ichiru didn't seem to hear him at all. He had to walk toward Ichiru and shake him.
"Ichiru!" Ichiru finally look at him and smile. "Good morning Takuma, have you enjoy your little nap."
"Ichiru how can you still smile, Senri is in trouble and stop smiling. Don't you care a thing about him, You two were about to get marry back then."
"We were about to and you broke it Takuma. Anyway I don't have any feeling for Senri at all in the first place, the marriage was just a plan that me and Senri agree about so don't take it the wrong way."
"You don't have any feeling for Senri at all then why do you want to marry him?"
"I told you, it's for the plan for the vampires and hunters to get along. It's a first step to that world to come."
"A new world? What if lots of people disagree for that world to come? Can you still handle that?"
Ichiru smile fainted, he then stroke his hair then start laughing loudly making takuma confuse.
"Ichiru?"
"The world will come soon Takuma since there's a woman who is a vampire had the same belief as I do. She also wish for that world to come and even give her life to prove it and I had witness it."
"Who is it?" Takuma asks.
"A pureblood vampire, her name is Shizuka." Ichiru answer, Takuma can't believe what he just heard. "She's inside me Takuma and I had plan to give it to Zero one day so we can become one once again that we should be when we are still inside our mother. I want to become one with Zero again."
"Are you telling me you're sacrificing yourself?"
Ichiru nodded.
"I will do anything for Zero; I will give him another power of the pureblood inside me for him."
"Ichiru…..you're…."
"You don't have to say it Takuma, you don't have too."
"Shizukana , how long you had been lock in here?"
He just looks at the wall blankly without emotion as he answer Senri question. "I don't know."
It had been like this for an hour and Shizukana always say 'I don't know' every time. He can see in those eyes there's nothing in there. As if Shizukana had thrown away all his emotions and everything after they meet, what happen to Shizukana?
"Shizukana, did something happen to you? You can share your pain with me then carrying the burden by yourself."
Shizukana then look at him tracing his fingers at Senri face, letting the blood stick at the face. Senri quickly back off then quickly wipe it.
"Shizukana you might think it's weird for me to say this but I'm kind of allergic to blood and you will be laughing to see me like that."
Shizukana eyes widen as he heard Senri say it, the boy looks so innocent.
"You must had such a great life aren't you Senri, to be able to smile like that."
Senri slowly nodded as he remembers how Takuma treat him nicely. "Don't worry Shizukana, after Takuma save us I will take you to a great place and bring those smile back to your face."
"You're so kind Senri, it will be a pain if you have to suffer like I had."
"Shizukana?" Shizukana pull Senri close to him, he started to cry and let his tears fell down to his cheek, Senri in his confusion try to calm him down and pat Shizukana shoulder. "Don't worry; I'm here for you Shizukana. After I defeated my father let's go home okay? I'm sure the special person of your life is also waiting for you."
"I don't have any special person in my life anymore." Shizuka spoke and wipe her tears. "I don't have one they're all gone."
His cry is getting louder and Senri was getting worry if his father will hear it and will get annoy. It's suicide if Shizukana continue to cry like this. "Don't worry I'm here. Please don't cry anymore so please Shizukana…."
He look at Senri and smiles is forming at his face,
"If only he's like you, if only he didn't betray me. If only I didn't accept him and make…" He stops and then place his hand at his tummy making a disgust face.
"Shizukana! What are you doing?" He pushes Senri down at the floor and then looks at him with his eyes.
"Save me Senri, please hurry before he takes over me again."
Senri watch as Shizukana eyes turn blue, the color of the deep ocean. Then he smiles and then….
"STOP!" Senri scream.
*Flashback*
"I won't forgive you!"
"So what, you can't do anything to me. Don't you see how Kaname easily being defeated by me."
He walk over to Zero and cut the tip of his fingers, his blood drip down to Zero mouth and Zero start screaming wildly unable to control himself. His eyes turn dark blue and the start laughing crazily.
"It's good to see you other Zero or should I just simply call you Tanojiko. (Other self)"
He looks at Rido. "Where's Kaname?"
"He will come soon Tano kun. When he comes you can kill him and you can revenge on your child death."
*End Flashback*
"Please stop Shizukana!" Senri scream, the memories how his father treated him is again in his head. It's torturing of how the cold hand touches him.
"I want you to feel pain to of how to be betrayed by the person you love."
Senri put his hand around Shizukana. "Stop and listen to me!"
He finally looks at Senri. "Shizukana I might didn't know what happen to you or understand it but please hear me. If you in trouble I will try to help you, I also had problem in my life but there's someone out there save me. I want to be that person to save you too so Shizukana. LET ME HELP YOU!"
His eyes turn back to red, those words enter his heart. The person he just met just save him from causing the mistake in his life, he slowly let go of Senri.
"I'm sorry Senri, I don't know just what happen to me."
"It's okay Shizukana, its okay."
"Senri….please don't leave me too. Please….."
"I won't." Senri smiles. "We're friends now right?"
"Yeah!" Shizukana smile back and embrace Senri, he was happy to meet Senri. He was glad to meet him. "I feel very happy little brother." He murmurs. "I won't let you leave me too."
His eyes glow back to blue, the old Zero is gone now.
'My name is Tanojiko, my enemy is Kaname. I am forever royal to Rido Kuran and Senri is my brother who will be chain to me for his whole life.'
