Ninth story in my series of short stories with various VK characters. Independent from the previous eight. :D

#: 09
Title: "His happiness."

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight, this is a fanfic written for fun and for love of the series. I'm not making any money with it.
Warnings: Spoilers for recent chapters of the manga. The situation in the fic never happened, but there are mentions of enemies and a talk that did take place.

The enemy vampires circled around them, relentless in their attack, wave after wave of apparently never ending determination.

She was tiring down more and more, and feared the moment when she'd have lost too much blood and her reflexes would start to fail her; the moment when she would no longer be able to protect as effectively the treasure entrusted to her by a most unexpected fate.

They had been expecting an attack, but not for another several weeks. The enemy had changed his plans and attacked the school much sooner than he had originally meant to, it seemed. As a result, it happened even sooner than Kaname-sama had expected, and they were all caught by surprise. Things had ran out of control to a terrible point, and he was currently facing in battle a nightmare came from the past, his uncle that the others had hoped had died long ago.

A mix of sweat and her own blood ran down her face, stinging her eyes; she blinked it away, not losing her focus on the enemies cornering them. She struck again, and they fell, one after the other, but more kept coming.

She realized that she may not live to see the end of the day, but she was strangely peaceful. Because he had talked to her before the end, and he had told her that he trusted her.

The frail human girl behind her back was leaning against the wall, half conscious, but still perfectly alive and barely hurt.
She would make sure it stayed that way. She was ready to die a million deaths to protect the girl from any harm.

Because that girl was the very thing that she would never be able to be. That frail human girl was Kaname-sama's happiness.

And as such, she was more precious than anything else in the world.

Let the waves of enemies come. Luca was ready to fight them to the very last.

Luca is lovely, and needs more fic time. XD
