Maria, Zero, The Ball and Shizuka part 2

~Takuma's POV~

We all headed towards class quietly as we didn't want to be shouted at by Riko as she seemed to be in a bad mood, which was unusual for her as she is normally bubbly and happy. It wasn't long before she left the classroom and everyone's head turned and looked at me "what, I do not know what's wrong with her" I stated then the teacher came into the room. After a little while a scent of blood came drifting into the classroom and I recognized that blood immediately, it was Riko's blood, Hanabusa turned his head and looked at me with concern on his face. I then rushed out of the door to see what had happened to Riko, I followed the scent of blood to the old dorm that the night class was given when us vampires first came to Cross Academy. "RIKO" I shouted as I ran into the building, hoping that she would reply and I stopped when I saw Riko with another person close to her and when I looked closer, it was Zero with blood covering his mouth. I really wanted to kill Zero on the spot for drinking Riko's blood and I was snapped out if my thoughts by Riko, "Takuma, please don't hurt him, he's a good friend of mine" she said, I looked at me in surprise "a good friend?" I said "yes, we became friends when I had to move away" she said. "Oh ok, if your fine then I'm heading off back to class" I said with uncertain and made my way out.

My feet made their own way back to class as my mind was going into overdrive with questions that I didn't notice Hanabusa walking back to the dorm with Ruka and Akatsuki. "What's wrong Takuma?" asked Hanabusa "Riko and Zero are friends" I said Hanabusa , Ruka and Akatsuki looked at Takuma as if he said something he shouldn't, "YOU ARENT BEING SERIOUS?" shouted Hanabusa "unfortunately it's true" I said. "umm why are you walking back to dorm?, shouldn't we be in class?" I asked "oh Kaname-Sama cancelled the rest of classes" Stated Ruka, "oh, ok" I said. We started to walk back to the dorm and along the way were awkward silence, it was as if Riko's name was jinxed and we all sat in the sitting area until she came back.

~Riko's POV~

I opened the door to the moon dorm, as soon I stepped in I had 8 pairs of eyes on me and they did not look very happy at all. The atmosphere was cold, even for a vampire it made my spine crawl, I do not like where this was going and in Hanabusa's eyes they were full of sadness and hurt, Takuma looked abit angry and Akatsuki and Ruka looked annoyed. "Riko, come and sit down I want to talk to you" said Takuma, it sounded so serious that he sounded just like grandfather and It was never good when he was this serious. I made my way over and sat next to Ruka, I took a deep breath before saying "Yes Takuma, What do you want to talk about?"

"About Zero" he stated

"What about him?" I asked

"Why did you let him drink your blood?"

Because he needed it"

"That's not the point Riko"

"What is the point then Takuma, I can't help out a friend anymore eh?"

"That's not what I mean Riko, I meant I want you to be careful"

"Why I trust Zero"

"I know you do I just don't want to find you with all the blood sucked out of you"

"But he won't do that, Takuma"

"I JUST DON'T WANNA LOSE YOU AS YOUR THE ONLY THE FAMILY I GOT THAT I ACTUALLY CARE ABOUT" Takuma shouted before sitting back down with a sigh.

I opened my mouth, but decided to close it again.

"Sorry" I muttered

"It's ok Riko, I just care about you just like any other brother should"

He came over and gave me a tight hug.

"So when did you meet Zero them?" Hanabusa asked

"After I got moved over to the country house as we call it" I said

"Umm I thought that area is for vampire hunters" asked Akatsuki

"It was and still is, I had trouble most of the time when I first moved, but they soon settled down about it"

Ruka was about to say something, but she was cut off by Takuma "It's getting late everyone should head off to their rooms and Riko there will be no classes for us tomorrow as there is the school ball on" "Ok" we all muttered. We all started making our way up to our rooms and we all said goodnight and Hanabusa gave me a quick kiss before heading off.

I got woken up by a knock at the door, I got up to answer it, it turned out to Hanabusa with a fairly large box containing a simple strapless baby blue dress with a few beads running down the skirt, it also had a white rose on the band. "It's beautiful Hanabusa, Thank you" I said before pulling him into a kiss and he pulled away looking me in the eyes "you best go and get ready for the ball, we'll be meeting in the entrance in an hour and half" he said "ok, I'll see you soon" I gave him a quick kiss before shoving him out the door. I jumped in the shower and I did my hair and makeup before putting the dress on with a pair of small white heels to go with the white rose, I looked at the time, it was time to start heading down to the entrance and as I was coming down the stairs I noticed that there was only a few people down there waiting on everyone else. I guess I was early than expected, Hanabusa came to the bottom of the stairs to greet me "You look beautiful tonight Riko and the colour of your dress brings out your hair and eyes" he said "Thank you and you look handsome yourself" I said with a smile, he took my hand and gave it a kiss before giving me a kiss on the lips "We should get going" said Hanabusa "Yeah, ok".

As we headed into the ball, I had a look at the decorations, I had to admit that they were pretty, but nothing compared to the soirees "If a day class student comes up to you, dance with them to promote goodwill, if you can" Hanabusa reminded me before a day class girl came up and asked him to dance with her "I'll see you later Riko" he said "ok" I said.

I wandered over beside Akatsuki who was watching from the side "hey, you look bored Akatsuki" I said, but before he could say anything Yuki came up, "um. Excuse me? Kain? Kaname isn't here?" she asked "The president is alone on the terrace" he said "Thank you!" she said as she ran off to find Kaname. Ruka came up beside me and gave Akatsuki a dirty look "What? You didn't want me to tell her?" he asked "It doesn't matter" she said, as she was going to walk away with Akatsuki a day class came up behind them "Ru...Ruka! I finished all my work so I could attend this ball! Would you dance with me?" he asked, "Do it to promote goodwill" Said Akatsuki "Urg! No way! I don't want to dance with some strange boy!" she exclaimed. I was trying not to laugh at the scene in front of me and bless the poor lad, Ruka's never going to look at any other man apart from Kaname, in the end she was dancing with Akatsuki, it also seemed that everyone was dancing apart from me, which saddened me slightly, I looked up to Kaien a.k.a headmaster was looking at the scene and it seemed like a dream for him, Vampires getting along with humans. I noticed that Zero was being asked to dance by a day class student and by the looks of it he turned her down and wandered off, he looked in the direction of the terrace and ran over then disappeared over the balcony. I decided that I was going to follow, but I had to go out the main entrance and on my way out I noticed that Hanabusa and Akatsuki were nowhere to be seen.

I was wandering around the campus as I didn't know where Zero disappeared to, I became bored and felt in the mood for singing, so I found a bench.

I smelt Zero's blood and there was also another, a pureblood. But I wasn't too bothered to go and look for now.

And When Your Hope Crashes Down
Shattering To The Ground
You , You Feel All Alone
When You Don't Know Which Way To Go
And There's No Signs Leading You Home
You're Not Alone

By the time I finished singing the smell was bothering me and I was curious to see who was this other pureblood was, I made my way towards the smell which seemed to come from the abandoned building. I made my way in and upstairs, I decided to follow the scent for the pureblood, I came into a door and noticed that Hanabusa was already there, I gave him a quizzical look and walked over to him, that's when I heard Kaname's and Shizuka's voices, I shot Hanabusa a look of confusion.

(A/N I'm going to skip to the part where we see Hanabusa in the manga, if you want to read what Shizuka and Kaname said then read the Manga)

We both looked at each other with shock on our faces then I mouthed to him 'Let's get out here before we get caught' he nodded and made our way out the window. We did not know what to say to each other, "I think it's best that we do not repeat any of what was said between Kaname-Sama and Shizuka-Sama to anyone else, Not even Takuma and the same goes for me with Akatsuki" Hanabusa said and I just nodded. He gave me a kiss before heading into the dorm and we both made our way to our rooms.

The next day Kaname wanted a word with Akatsuki and Hanabusa, probably about Shizuka's death and I was on mindless thoughts about what happened between Kaname and Shizuka. We made our way to classes and once we was in class, I looked around for Hanabusa, but he wasn't around so I went back to my thoughts. I was snapped out of my thoughts when Kaname spoke "Listen everyone, will you all do me a favour?", " with pleasure Kaname-Sama" Everyone said "Kaname-Sama, Are you serious?" said Ruka, he gave her a serious look. Then I sense one of the senate's henchmen, I gave a growl and everyone looked at me, I got out of my seat "They are here and Kaname could I possibly deal with this after give your little speech to the henchmen?" I asked "If you know what you're doing then it shouldn't be a problem" he said "oh, I know what I'm doing" I said, we headed outside, we waited until the right moment then Shiki struck one of the henchmen with his blood whip and he turned to dust, "As the senate is well aware that woman did something so heinous that we cannot blame Kiryu, if he did hunt her" Kaname said

"Kaname Kuran-Sama" They said

"Tell me. Why should Kiryu be executed? To protect the so-called sanctity of purebloods?"

"Kaname-Sama, we cannot accomplish our mission if you, a pureblood yourself, stand in our way. Please stand back, your comrades too" They said pleadingly

"This academy is dear to me. I do not want this place being spoiled by the foolish acts of vengeance by the senate's henchmen" Kaname Stated

"but" they started, but one of the henchmen was hit by Kaname's power

"Riko, now do what you have to do" Kaname said

"Hai, Thank you Kaname" I said

"Well, be sure to listen you three and answer my questions" I spat

"Yes, Ichijo-Sama" they chorused

"I assume that there was some sort of investigation on this case?"

"No, there was not, Ichijo-Sama"

"Which fool carried out the execution then?"

"Your Grandfather and the president of the Vampire Hunter Society"

"The Vampire Hunter Society? Really now!"

"Yes, Ichijo-Sama"

"Well, take this as your one and only warning for the Senate, Lay off Zero Kiryu or there will be trouble"

"But, No one's going to take you serious, as supposing you are weak Ichijo-Sama" The leader of the group said with a smirk on his face

"Ha, Just because I am a girl, doesn't make me weak, after all I am the granddaughter of Ichio, and I've seen what he does to get what he wants and how. What makes you think I'm not going to do it on you?" I said, the smirk he did have on his face disappeared. He was sent full force in to a tree by a blast of water and before he dropped to the ground a small katana pierced his heart, he was turned to dust. I turned to the two remaining henchman "Tell grandfather I want to talk as soon possible and preferably before the Aido Soiree, ok?" I said with menacing voice "Yes, we shall pass on the message, anything else Ichijo-Sama?" They said scared "No, get the hell out of here" I said "Ok, But we shall report back to the senate that you defended Zero Kiryu Kaname-Sama and Ichijo-Sama" and with that they disappeared.

I turned around so that I was facing Zero and Yuki, Kaname came up beside me "Are you all right?" Kaname asked "Kaname, They have no reason to execute Zero" Said Yuki, she has a hint of sacredness to her voice

"I know, don't worry" He said

"I can understand Riko saving me, but not you, why did you save me, Kuran?" He asked

"I couldn't tolerate the execution of a fellow schoolmate by foolish members of my race for groundless reasons" He stated

"Riko, we should go, the guardian's will need to report this back to the headmaster"

"Hai, you are right, Kaname, Take care you two" I said Zero simply nodded and Yuki said thank you.

~Zero's POV~

I was surprised by Riko as I've never seen her like this, but I could tell she was angry and by the surprised looks on the other vampires faces they are too, I could understand why Riko would defy the Senate and her Grandfather, but I do not understand Kuran's reasons. Riko turned around so that she was facing Yuki and I, Kaname came up beside her "Are you all right?" Kaname asked "Kaname, They have no reason to execute Zero" Said Yuki, she has a hint of sacredness to her voice

"I know, don't worry" He said

"I can understand Riko saving me, but not you, why did you save me, Kuran?" I asked

"I couldn't tolerate the execution of a fellow schoolmate by foolish members of my race for groundless reasons" He stated, It was then I remembered, why Kaname was keeping me alive, for Yuki sake.

"Riko, we should go, the guardian's will need to report this back to the headmaster"

"Hai, yes you are right, Kaname, Take care you two" she said I simply nodded and Yuki said thank you.

After they had left we headed to the headmasters office and gave a full report of what happened.

~Riko's POV~

After we had left, Kaname and I headed back up to class "You knew that they didn't do an investigation on the case, so why did you ask Riko?" Kaname asked "I wanted to find out if the president of Vampire Hunter Society were involved, I have a suspicion that my grandfather and the president are working together for something. With Takuma here and me away at the Country house, I asked one of the Maids to spy on my grandfather and she said that there were a lot of visits from the president and the head of the Shiki Clan. I found out that the head of the Shiki Clan are keeping the remains of Rido Kuran and I suspect that they are all working together to help restore his body and help him get what he wants" Kaname snapped his head to me "What do you know?" He said "I know he wants Yuki the pureblood daughter of Juri and Haruka Kuran, your Fiancée and I've known for a couple of years now, trust me I haven't told anyone else" I said "That's good, I would have had to kill you if you did" He said, I gave a small chuckle, before opening the door to the classroom. I looked at Takuma, trying to see if he wanted to have a word "No need Riko, I understand why you did it, you wanted to protect Zero" Takuma said, I gave Takuma a smile.

I sat in the main entrance with Kaname and Takuma waiting for Hanabusa to hurry up as we are going to see my grandfather.

"Sorry to keep you waiting" Akatsuki said

"No problem. The car just came to pick us up" Takuma said

"Then shall we go?" said Kaname

We got to the car and for a good five minutes the car was quiet.

"I didn't our dorm president would defy the senate" said Akatsuki

"Well, Kaname is a well behaved pureblood. But the "public" seems to sympathise you. Kiryu had enough reasons to kill Shizuka Hio and the senate tried to execute him without even investigating. You and Riko thwarted their attempt. Do you what is being said about the pureblood lord who risked his life to defend his nemesis Kiryu, a Vampire Hunter? Kaname-Sama saved a schoolmate, someone of a different race, so Kaname-Sama must be the one who is truly striving for peace until like the senate. Kaname I'm proud of you" said Takuma

"I had no idea they were saying that, If it's true, I find it comforting since I am bound for the senate" Kaname said.

It wasn't too long until we got to the senate and once we got there we was taken up to the meeting room.

"We have decided that you did not rebel against us. We shall no execute Zero Kiryu as long as Kaname-Sama attends Cross Academy" my grandfather said

"Thank you so much, Ichio" Said Kaname

"Defending your schoolmate's honour and protecting him. These are generous and fair actions indeed befitting the head of the Kuran Clan, who laid the foundation for our pacifism"

"There is something I have always wanted to request of the senate. Please do not interfere with the affairs of Cross Academy anymore. I do not want bloodshed, just as my deceased parents wanted peace before me Ichio"

"Very well Kaname-Sama and Riko I expect better of you in future"

"Really? Grandfather, I expect you to do full investigations on these cases rather than jump the gun and point the blame on someone straight away" I said

"Point taken, now was it that you wanted to speak to me about?"

"That was it grandfather"

"Ok then, Thank you for coming, but I would now like time to talk to my two grandchildren"

"As you wish Ichijo-Sama" They said

"Kaname, could you show Akatsuki to the sitting area and we will meet there after we are done" I asked

Kaname and Akatsuki simply nodded and made their way out after the other members of the senate had left.

"What is that you want to talk about grandfather?" Takuma asked

"I want to talk about an arrange marriage for Riko, I have been talking to Kaname-Sama and Takuma about potential matches for you and they gave a few names of the people that you get on with and out of the few names there was only one that I would put into consideration of you marrying" our grandfather explained

"Ok, who's that?" I asked

"Hanabusa Aido, The next heir to the Aido Clan which is Anti-senate family, but you already know that as you two have met at soirees before and I also he goes to Cross Academy. I've already got in touch with his father and he agrees with it, all I need is you to agree with it and it will be announced at the Aido Soiree" He replied

Takuma and I looked at each other with disbelief.

"Yeah that's ok with me, but is ok with you Riko" Takuma said

"Umm, I shouldn't see a problem with this arranged marriage and we get on in Cross Academy and also the fact that he gets on well with Takuma" I said

"Ok, then well that's that sorted, I'll let Lord Aido know and he'll set up the announcement and let his son know and also Lord Aido wants you to sing one song for the soiree" Grandfather said

"Um, Ok grandfather, I shall do well to pick a good song and we shall see you at the Soiree" I said

"You shall"

We said our goodbyes and made our way to Kaname and Akatsuki who were waiting in Takuma's and I's living room. "That's all done Kaname and Akatsuki, let go back to Cross Academy" I said, we called for the car to be brought to the front and we made our way down, I was quiet throughout the whole car journey. I was wondering whether or not my grandfather was being genuinely or does he have a plan behind this, I couldn't be too sure, don't get me wrong I was excited that Hanabusa was officially mine now, but I couldn't feel that my grandfather was behind some plot. We arrived back at the academy, I was the first out of the car and I made my way to the headmaster's office as I wanted to speak to him, but when I got to the office, it was locked, so I guessed that he wasn't here, I made my way back to the Moon dorm to find Hanabusa and explain the current situation.

I eventually found him "Hana.., Can I have a word please?" I said

"Yea sure, what's up?" he replied

"Umm, there's going to be an engagement announcement at the soiree" I said

"Ok, whose engagement is it?"

"Ours"

He snapped his head toward me and he gave me a mixed look of shock and disbelief.

"You're being serious, right?"

"Yes, you could always ask Takuma, he was there when my grandfather told me"

"No, is ok, I believe you" he said with a smile on his face, he leaned in and gave me a kiss "I'm happy that you going to be mine after all" he said "me too" We headed to our classes as we normally do and during the school hours we kept glancing at each other every now and then with smiles on our faces.

The next day Kaname announced that all classes were cancelled tonight as there incident where a vampire on campus bit a day class student, so I took the time to stay in my room and work on that song I was going to sing at the soiree, after I had finished I had a headache, so I decided to go to the infirmary to get some pills and when I got there the door was open a bit and there was voices coming from inside.

"ZERO! Are you alright?" Yuki shouted

"Yeah" Zero said mindlessly

"Thank goodness"

I decided to look through the door to see what they were up to, I saw that Zero was going to kiss Yuki, but at the last minute he put his head down "Sorry, It's nothing" he said. I decided that I wasn't going to bother with pills anymore, my mind was on the fact that Zero had fallen for someone that he shouldn't 'Z, you are a sucker for falling for the wrong people, I do feel sorry for you, you're going to end up hating her for what she really is' I thought to myself, It saddened me to think of that, 'Poor Zero'.
