I hope you will forgive me? Also there was trouble with my internet for two weeks (from the 5th to 22nd of November). I am yet again so sorry, and I hope this chapter will not disapoint you too badly, but don't worry; I am not suddenly cutting the story short! there is still many chapters to go, so please don't think that I am rushing. Thank you guys ^^
Blood, Sweat and Tears.
Zero entered the moon dormitory in urgency; however, he couldn't help but start to shake in fear as the small of blood became stronger as he walked up the stairs in a slow pace, too worried to what he will discover of what's possibly left of Yuuki.
The silence frightened him, he was scared of his growing thirst for blood, he was thirstier to know whether his partner, his childhood friend, his reason to still live was alive.
Zero followed the strong scent which lead to the nearest door on the second floor. He reached for it cautiously expecting it to be open, but instead it was locked. His heart raced in his rib cage, and he couldn't handle the silence no more, he needed to know whether she was still alive. Zero, in one kick, kicked the door down. Zero saw the scene before him, and his heart stopped.
Yagari, Akatsuki and Kaien
"This is never ending!" Yagari shouted impatiently and tiredly, as he, Akatsuki and Kaien still fought against the endless amount of level-e's. "Oh shit! I'm outta bullets!"
"We can't carry on like this! We need the others!" Akatsuki moaned loudly as he fought of an attacking level-e with his fire powers, and throwing a firebolt at it, which caused it to scream in agony before falling to the ground in a pile of ash.
"They can't help! They are helping the day class students under my orders." Kaien declared, still sounding calm as he still massacred the level-e's easily with his high skilled fighting skills.
"Well I should go and get help at least! Even though you two are doing great... but have you seen the amount of them?! We can't take them all by ourselves, if we had others it would not only be easier, it would be quicker and less of a threat to the students! And besides I have no other weapon with me now." Yagari informed the two of what the plan should be. "There is no other choice..."
"Try and be back as soon as you can..." Kaien agreed giving Yagari a quick nod. Yagari nodded back, and excited through the door behind him, which they are still trying to protect so that the level-e's don't enter the school.
"He better be quick... I am not sure whether were going to be able to hold them off any longer..." Akatsuki said looking over to Kaien.
Kaien couldn't look back knowing he was speaking the truth. "Stop being negative Akatsuki... we're going to put things right, and stop this before it worsens and affects everyone!"
Shizuka and Kaname
"Kaname, you really think just telling me to give up is going to work? After all this time... planning all this, setting all this up... I thought you would find it entertaining Kaname..."
"I don't find it entertaining when I know the one I love is mixed up and now involved in your mess up!"
"Oh don't you Kaname? Heh... in my eyes, that makes it much better, meddling with A Kuran's feelings." Shizuka Chuckled. "It is more exciting if that's the case! Gives it more of a thrill!"
"I wouldn't say that... I think it would be more of a thrill killing you more than anything else!" Kaname smirked evilly, eyes burning crimson, raising his hand, which slowly turned into huge sharp claws that protruded from his finger nails. As his hand slowly transformed, he approached Shizuka slowly.
Shizuka didn't bother to move away, the current of the wind suddenly increased in seconds, and her silky hair flew and caressed her face as she looked relaxed and calm, even though her eyes also now burned bright crimson. The blossom trees in the area suddenly flowered into cheery blossoms even though it wasn't the right season for them to bloom, and in seconds, the already fallen blossom whirled within the wind around Shizuka, as though it was a mini hurricane. This was for sure, one of Shizuka's abilities.
Kaname didn't seem to be cautious of what she was doing or planning, as he still walked towards her, with his claws at the ready.
Shizuka started giggling, as this was all just a game to her. Her strong current of wind that contained brilliant pink cheery blossom petals, suddenly rushed towards Kaname at lightning speed. The air was suddenly taking as the wind rushed past him at very high speeds, and the blossom petals rushed past him also, cutting into his skin and clothes. Kaname dared not show that he was in pain, as he continued to walk through what felt like, flying daggers. He wanted to make sure it was his turn to inflict pain.
Zero
"Y-...yuuki..." Zero shook as he looked down at Yuuki's limp, motionless body on the floor.
"You was too late, the silly girl thought she could take me on by herself.." Rido declared, licking blood of his hand, standing by the window so that the moonlight shone upon him, as though it was to show his successful glory.
"She... can't be dead..." Zero rushed over to her body, to check any signs of life. He examined her closely, checked her heartbeat and checked the warmth of her delicate, blood covered skin. She was cold and lifeless.
Zero prevented his tears, and hearing Rido chuckle behind him, made his skin crawl and started to become heated with anger. Zero secretly took out his bloody rose, and swiftly turned and shot him in the heart.
"How does it feel you filthy, careless bastard! HOW DOES IT FEEL TO GET YOUR HEART BROKEN AND RIPPED APART?!" Zero screamed. "All because of one mistake and one person!"
Rido stumbled back, eyes wide with shock and hurt, as he unexpectedly, took the blow hard. His lips quivered, too frozen and cold to reply back.
Zero didn't care that Rido looked deeply in pain, and very near death, as the anti vampire weapon carried out its purpose. To kill. Rido feel to his knees, clutching his bleeding chest tightly as Zero approached him, still shaking and aiming his bloody rose. Zero dropped to his knees in line with Rido and grabbed Rido's neck.
"You came here to destroy me! To only destroy those who got in the way of your plans! Your plans to rule! To rule over the hunters, to rule over humans, but why, destroy an innocent life for fun!" Zero angrily whispered to the quivering Rido. "Oh sorry, I forgot... You're a sickening pureblood! Who thinks they are so much more powerful than any other!" Zero moved Rido's hand, and grabbed his chest tightening his hand around the bleeding wound, digging into Rido's warm flesh. "Well this is how weak you truely are!" Zero tightened harder, digging in further sneering at Rido's pained face as he attempts to rip his heart out slowly.
"Z...zero...s-stop..."
Zero gasped hearing Yuuki, struggle to say, still holding onto Rido's chest tightly, trying to fight his instincts. Zero clenched his jaw tightly and pulled away from Rido instantly getting over to Yuuki's side.
"Yuuki..." Zero pleaded taking her in his arms. "You're... you're alive..."
Yuuki looked up at zero, with no smile but instead with sad, tearful, pained eyes. She shook her head. "Not for long... I'm sorry Zero... i wasn't strong enough to take him out by myself... i tried to do it secretly, but it failed. I never knew i would die like this... i never knew i would die a vampire."
"You're not going to die Yuuki, you're here, you're with me, and its going to stay like that... for now on, just you and me."
"But zero-"
"No. I don't care whether you're a vampire, your still yourself, and your still important to me, so so so important to me... even here, as you look up at me with those beautiful eyes.. Those caring eyes that have been looking after me for so many years now." Zero whispered stroking her face softly.
Yuuki smiled comforted. "I have never seen Zero so emotional before. It's only you I would care for the most Zero. You're my Zero after all...You mean more to me than you think, especially through all we have been through together...Just makes me see you grow stronger, and happier, and seeing you in such states when you appear to pretend to be pain, it warms my heart...I just...want my Zero to smile, it's my only wish and goal in life" Yuuki's eyes started to flood with tears. "I am sorry, so sorry... that I can no longer be there for you Zero. I am sorry that I can't be there to support you any longer" Yuuki struggled to keep her eyes open. "But wherever I will be, my eyes will always be on you, I will always eternally be by your side.."
"You are not going anywhere Yuuki! You're staying here with me, that's how it has always been, and will be always. We are meant to be together, don't say you're leaving! Yuuki... after all these years...I have never felt so strong before, you're the reason to why I am still living to this day, Yuuki... I love you... if you leave me, my life is not worth living anymore..."
Yuuki's cheeks blushed slightly, making her look slightly more alive, and a small, yet warming smile lit her face as she heard the truth from Zero. "I...I'm... glad to hear that I'm not the only one..." She raised her hand shakily, reaching for Zero's tear soaked cheek. Zero didn't hesitate to grab it fast but gently, and put her shaking, cold hand against his cheek. "I love you... so dearly Zero... there wasn't a day I never wanted to be without you, and I am sorry it has to be that way now..."
"No Yuuki, no... I'm sorry, I'm sorry for the way I have been treating you all this time, I never meant to hurt you, I never meant it, and I know that sounds unbelievable but-"
"Zero please, I have always known that you never meant to hurt anybody...Just... please, hold me close..." Yuuki's cold breath slowed as she looked into Zero's eyes in pain. "...always..."she whispered her last utterance before closing her eyes.
Kaname
Even though in fight, Kaname stood to a still, and goosebumps erupted over his skin as he reached up to hold his painful beating heart.
"Yuuki..."
