Chapter 5 – The Encounter
"Hey guys what's for dessert?" says Kasumi barging in the kitchen unexpectedly. Zero sense she were just on her way here, so does not feel surprised at all. Yuuki almost dropped a plate of table knife. That made a rain of table knife that can fall on them. Zero instinctly grabbed Yuuki and shielded her by using his own body.
Thankfully for Kasumi fast reflexes, she catch all the knife one by one. She uses inhuman speed to catch all of it. The first knife is headed to Zero's arm, she catch it first by the end of it and throw it to the wood cutter plate that are glued to the wall. The tip of the knife was deeply embedded to the wood. The knife is standing a perfect 90° on the wall.
The second and the third knife is falling to Zero's backside. She quickly catch it by tip and the holder of the knife. And she quickly throw it to the wooden plate on the wall. The last of the table knife is straightly heading towards Zero's neck. If she's catches it, it wouldn't make it. Zero still end up hurt in the end.
At the same time, she throw the last knife that she catch on her right hand. She throw it towards Zero's neck. The knife on the air and the knife she throw are moving at different speed. The tip of the knife on the air nearly cut through Zero's skin. But the knife that Kasumi throw hitting the body of the knife. That causes the knife to deflect and fall to the wall. The other knife still moving to the same direction and the tip of the knife is embedded to the wooden table that Zero's leaning on. The knife is embedded just beside his right ear.
The scene just now was just happened in a split second. The knife she throws on the wooden plate make a straight line. All the knives are standing a perfect 90° on the wall. The plate that Yuuki was holding with the table knives just now was broken. Its tiny little pieces was on the floor.
" Are you alright?" says Kasumi. Her hard breathing was heard. At least no one was hurt. As if hearing her thought's. " What the FUCK! Have you just done?" Says Zero harshly. She let Yuuki go off his hands. And stand up and look her in the eyes. He glare at her. As if he accusing her done all this. Which is true in some way. But their proud ego's think otherwise.
" What I done? I've just save your Fucking lives…"
" What? If you didn't come barging in. none of this would have happen"
" Oh.. so what?i should just sit tight and wait for you to DIE!" she clenched her hands at her side.
" What? Don't you hear what I just said? Now let me said it again! You should have knocked first or something?"
She walked to the door and knocked just to irritate Zero. And look at him.
" Happy?"
He clenched his fist really tightly at his sides. You can even see his veins coming out. He breathing in and out to control. He can feel his eyes are changing. His fangs are lengthening. No Don't come. No Not In front of her. No Don't
Kasumi just watch him. She never let her eyes wanders. She just look at him. She look at him expressionless. She folded her hands to her chest. Just like that pureblood. She ignores Yuuki, when she got up.
" Look Kasumi-san.. I was careless. Please don't fight." Yuuki look earnestly at Kasumi. She hope they stop their pointless arguing. She know that if she hold that plate more carefully none of this would happen.
Kasumi ignores at Yuuki comment. He know what she is thinking. That girl think that if she hold that plate more carefully, than that accident just now wouldn't happen. One look at her, she know that this girl is very protective at Zero, bubby, and cheerful. Just like any ordinary high school girl minus the anti - vampire weapon. That an ignisificant thing wont protect her and the students. Because she doesn't have any proper training of the thing.
If you look more carefully. Without Zero there will be no prefect. Do you seriously want to put 100 students lives in the hand of a 16 or 17 year old girl without a proper guardian or a hunter that already trained a.k.a. Kiryuu Zero.
" Hey Zero, you too stop it!" she turned around and saw that Zero was hyperventilating one of the symptoms of having blood lust. Oh my god! I should give Zero my blood now. But Kasumi-san is here. How in the heck should I tell her to leave. Yuuki turned around so that she can looked at her in the eyes and she simply stop. She got a feeling that Kasumi knows that what happening to Zero right now.
Kasumi is simply observing what Zero has denying all along. Blood! She knows what happened to Kiryuu family and also about Ichiru betrayal. Almost everyone know about it. What will you do now Zero? Will you give up this fight? Or simply fight to your death? "If you are thinking of giving up this fight.. I'm gonna fucking kill you." Says Kasumi with an icy tone.
Zero closed his eyes. He try to control his breathing. Even though time has changed him. So he used up everything he got inside to control his blood lust. Even though its gonna last for couple of hours. But right now is important to him. To proved her that she is right. To proved to her that boy is still here. He doesn't want to be judged by the way he has been turned. isn't it enough when he sees the way Yagari sensei see him when Yagari Sensei shot him in the shoulder, on the day Ichijou Takuma birthday. He can see in his teacher eye, disappointment. But what he most afraid is disgust in his teacher eye.
" Nyaaa.. my dear daughter Kasumi –san. Why do you leave me alone in there? I feel so alone without you in there" the Chairman come barging in unexpectedly.
Those word's stuck a nerve in Kasumi's brain. An angry nerve. You can even see veins popped out in her temples. " For a thousand's time. I'm not your FUCKING daughter.. you maniac" even though she and Zero were having a very important conversation. The fucking Chairman just HAVE to ruin it. Somehow she feels that the Chairman doing it on purpose.
She sighed. She have no mood to argue with the Chairman. So she simply obliged and walk to the door heading for the living room. where she left the Chairman just now. The Chairman chirped happily.
" Yeay! My daughter is accomp…" he was interrupted, when a faint whisper was heard. " I'm…..sorry" but it was audible for all of them in the kitchen. She stopped in her tracks for a second and proceeds walking to the living room. she never even leave a glance to him.
Inside the Chairman's house, just the dinner table. There were mouth - watering, tantalizing, and delicious, not forgetting mouth watering food you have ever seen. There were steaks with barbeque sauce and black pepper sauce (mmm yummy), Caesar salad with chips, spaghetti Bolognese, with some wine for ( Kasumi and Cross ) for the kids soda. For the dessert, a bucket of Häagen-Dazs flavor Chocolate chip.
Somehow the atmosphere at the dinner table supposed to be happy turned to gloomy. The incident in the kitchen were all in the occupants mind. Yuuki tries to reason with Zero after Kasumi – san and the Chairman leave the kitchen. But Zero still wont say anything to her. She let it go but later they will talk about it. She scared of talking to Kasumi – san because she seems scary.
Zero wouldn't bat an eyelid to Kasumi. He know that he let her down. His blood lust is still under control. He know that Kasumi is still observing him. Her eyes still fixed upon him. Like she is waiting for him to slip up. With sheer determination he will use up all of his strength to outwit the beast in him.
" Hey Kasumi – san aren't you hot while wearing that coat?" ask Yuuki. She tries to attract her attention to stop her from watching Zero. Kasumi – san is still wearing her coat in the living room. Her collar stands up till reached her ear lobe. The collar cover her neck so that no one will see it underneathed it. Her long silky black hair cover the collar so that's why no one notice it until recently. Now that's she mention it, she never see her take off her coat from the first moment she saw her at the front door of the Chairman's house.
" Forgive me… I don't usually wear my coat in the house. But this time diferres because I cant let down my guard while in an enemy territory" her words didn't go unnoticed by Zero. " Its highly irresponsible for me as a hunter myself". Yuuki saw Zero walk to the back door after hearing that.
" Zero is not an enemy!" counter Yuuki harshly to the hunter. Her reddish brown eyes look straightly to the hunter eyes. By her tone of her voice there were never wavered. She strongly believed that Zero is not the enemy.
She chuckled lightly by the human girl reaction. Yuuki was dumbfounded at first. She looked at the hunter more closely she realized that behind her eyes there sadness where she sometimes found in Zero and Kaname. She wonder why. Not only she saw sadness but tired as well. How can she looked almost lifeless in her eyes when she only looked barely 18yrs old.
" Hmmm….. at least he is in the right place" her eyes hold sadness in it. Kasumi diverted her eye when saying that. Because she know that it will also show how vulnerable she really is. A sad smile lingers on her lips. Yuuki saw it but wouldn't comment on that. She believe it is not in her place to say anything. But something spoke in her heart that Kasumi –san does not hate Zero. She strongly believed that.
All of them are in the dining room. Kasumi is in front of Zero. While Yuuki is beside Kasumi, the Chairman is beside Zero. But there are another chair unoccupied. In front of it there's a plate and other cutlery's that you usually found on the dining table.
" So who are we waiting for?" ask Kasumi.
" Oooh.. a very special guest" muttered the Chairman.
" Who else is coming?" ask Zero quickly. Something in his stomach flip flop by this special guest. His gut is telling him bad news. He wished its not true. In his heart he know who is the special guest. But he dare not to say anything in front of the hunter.
Kasumi heard the sudden question. She didn't miss that wavering tone of Zero's voice. Something told her that something is bad is coming. Zero's sudden question just heightened her curiosity and also telling her not to let down her guard.
Suddenly her hunter senses and also her vampire senses caught an aura of nobility and also a deadly aura that can only belong to one kin that is a pureblood is coming here to the Chairman's house.
Kasumi POV
Zero's sudden question of the so called special guest piqued my interest. Will the hunter come to Cross Academy. Hell no! even if they did, they wouldn't think twice of thinking to pull the trigger to the vampires here. Cant blame them though. Its in their blood to kill any vampires in their vicinity. Even if its to their own ex-being. Nothing will change of what had happened that night.
My hunter and vampires senses alerted me suddenly waking me up from my dilemma. Both my senses caught an aura of royalty and power that can only belong to pureblood. I noticed that Zero and the Chairman also caught this aura. The only pureblood that is near Cross Academy is none other than Kaname Kuran. The Kurans are the strongest and also the oldest pureblood have ever known.
Kaname Kuran is the only pureblood who agreed with the crazy Chairman of their plan of co-existence of human's and vampire's .
" You really wished to die huh… Cross sensei," my hands are already at my katana holder. My katana only revealed itself when its in front of the enemy. Especially in front of the vampires. Looks like the King's of the Vampires its in the top list of my most wanted. But right now I really want to strangle the one who called him.
The Chairman let up his hands like surrendering himself to me. Why that Fucker! He knows that I don't want to meet that pureblood. Of all people he should know better that I don't want to meet monster like him. I trust him.
" Is this your way of revenge. On that night?" The night I left him after he told me his sick plan of co-existence. After that night, I never met him. Today is the first time I met him after 6 years since then.
The chairman look dumbfounded a minute. But, his expressions on his face change to sadness. Why you of all people show that kind of face to me. Monster like me. You know the real reason I left you. You should know better than anyone. I thought you understand me. You always proved me wrong about everything.
Then, the sound of the bell rang.
Normal POV
Everyone was quiet in the dining room. Zero and Yuuki never interfere the conversation between the chairman and the hunter. Both of them wish they weren't here. Even the real reason they were having a party were all forgotten.
Zero was shocked since when Kasumi Onee-chan meet the eccentric Chairman. Yuuki was thinking who is the unexpected guest. Both of them also thinking of the revenge. What did the hunter do to the Chaiman, that the Chairman wished to take revenge. Both of them know the Chairman will never do that. But right now, its different. Both of them didn't know that the Chairman and the hunter know each other until now. Both of them stopped thinking when door bell rang.
Zero saw Kasumi's katana in her holster. But early on he never saw the katana in the holster or anywhere in the Chairman's house. Her left hand is on the katana's case while her thumb is on the katana's grip. While her right hand on her side. Her eyes never left the Chairman.
Yuuki quickly bolted out of the dining room living Zero alone with the hunter and the Chairman in their heated argument. Zero is more interested for what is happening next than for the arrival of that Fucking pureblood.
" What are you playing Cross sensei"
" I have no idea what are you saying. I'm just waiting for Kaname –kun, so that we can start this party okay."
" So you invited a bloodsucker, who you don't know anything about him. Do you really trust him so much?"
Kasumi turned around and caught a reddish brown eyes looked straightly at her expressionless. Suddenly a temperature dropped in the dining room. Her dark blue eyes bore straightly at the reddish brown eyes. Not even one of them leave each other eyes even though the Chairman obvious ratling didn't help much to lighten the mood. The temperature dropped slightly is because the aura of the pureblood slowly slipping off purposely. The Chairman tries to stand between Kasumi and Kaname to stop their obvious glares. But that didn't do anything. Its like they are in their own separate world. He finally gives up.
Yuuki try her best to help the Chairman. By tugged the pureblood sleeve to distract him. All her shyness to the pureblood were all forgotten. Kaname leave her eyes and looked down at the reddish brown eyes of the human girl who he loved always. He was quite happy that Yuuki leave her shyness but at the cost of a hunter insult him in front of his girl.
" Let me tell you something vampire, the day you betray him. You're dead!" the guy that Kasumi referring to is the Chairman. Her icy cold glares to the pureblood stated that she meant business of what she says. Her eyes shone complete determination of the fact that she just threatened a pureblood. Even at the cost of her own life.
uhh ohhh... wish me luck! for portraying Kaname in the next chappie!
