Hey guys! Here is the next chapter. I do not own Vampire Knight.
Chapter 4
The next morning in the headmaster kitchen
Yuuki, Victoria, and Zero are siting on a table in their day class uniform. Yuuki did a french braid on one side of Victoria's hair while the rest of her hair just went straight down. The headmaster was cooking for the 3 guardians all happy like an idiot. Victoria kept thinking 'What is he so happy about? I'm sure he is going to tell us soon.' The headmaster just keeps on singing and dancing about food.
"And I thought he wouldn't be at it so early in the morning..." Victoria chuckled a little reminding Zero.
"Zero we known him for long time. Did you think he wouldn't be like this so early in the morning?" Victoria said it as a matter-of-fact tone. Zero just glared at her thinking smart ass. Victoria just tilt her head a little in cute way and stick out her tongue, making Zero blush a little, but of course Victoria didn't know notice about the blush.
"Though it's sort of difficult to call it "traditional"" Said Yuuki eating her food. Zero and Victoria looked at Yuuki.
"You're being the tsukkomi for the wrong thing." Said Zero and Victoria.
"Eh? For what-?" Said Yuuki.
"Okay, cheese~!" Said the headmaster. As he takes a picture of Zero, Yuuki, and Victoria.
"What the hell are you doing all of a sudden?!" Said Zero.
"Commemorative photo." Said the headmaster. "Because today you will not be performing the job of "Guardians," but instead will the true job of perfect for the first time.
"Huh?!"
Meanwhile in the Night Class Dorm
"Dorm inspections?!" Said Aidou.
"I see." Said Kaname. "Thank you, Seiren."
"Goodness, there's no way to predict the Chairman's thinking." Said Ruka.
"It's no big deal, as long as you don't have anything they would consider bad if they found it." Said Shiki.
"That's right." Said Ichijo. "As long as you don't have anything out of the ordinary, inspections don't even matter."
"Ichijou-san, you still haven't picked up the clothes all over your floor, have you?" Said Shiki.
Ichijo laughed a little giving a soft smile saying "It's fine. They're all made of the finest silk, so no matter where I leave them out it, isn't embarrassing."
"Oh, really..." Said Ruka. Akatsuki looked at Aidou and said "Come with me, Hanabusa." They walked up the stairs and into their room.
"What is it, Akatsuki?" Said Aidou. "I'm tired already..." Akatsuki put his hand on the wall caging Aidou.
"Hanabusa, don't say that. You're going to have to let go of-all of that." Said Akatsuki. "Huh?" Said Aidou. In there room was was all broken stuff that Kaname broke himself Akatsuki calls it "Junk". Aidou calls it his "Treasures". As those two were talking right were the door was is Kaname.
"Dorm leader K-kuran." Said Aidou.
"Aidou." Said Kaname. "I think I would like to discuss our dorm's rules with you again." He said looking really pissed. Aidou starts to back away.
"N-N-N-No, it's not like that..." Said Aidou. "Dorm leader, this is..." All of sudden the glasses on the chandelier lights all broke by Kaname using his Pureblood powers. Aidou was down on the floor looking so happy because he has something new to add to his collection. Aidou looks up and see a very unhappy Kaname. Behind him Akatsuki starts to walk away from the room. Making Aidou go all black and white.
In the Day Class Dorms
"We are confiscating that." Says the sisters in perfect unison again.
"Eh~?" Says one of the Day class girl. The grabbed Yuuki shoulder and looked both Yuuki and Victoria. "It shouldn't be problem if it's just pictures!"
"You took pictures without permission." Said Yuuki.
"That is a problem." Said Victoria. The day class girl started to put her hands over eyes making a weeping motion.
"You two just don't understand!" Said the day class girl.
"Don't un-" They were both cut off when someone else was talking.
"That's right, Cross-kuns. You really don't understand." Said the Class Rep with a purple aura surrounding him.
"C-class Rep?" Yuuki and Victoria said looking at him. He started to walk closer them saying things that this isn't fair, behind them one of the day class girls trying to get her pictures back. Once she saw Zero she turned around.
"Confiscated." Said Zero as he took the notebook behind the class rep. "Well, then..." Said Yuuki. As her and Victoria started to back away with a smile on their face.
"Please don't be like this!" Said the class Rep.
"Confiscated." Said Victoria. "No~!"
"Confiscated." Said Yuuki. "Stop it!"
"Confiscated." They both said. "Demon!"
In the end Yuuki and Victoria carried big bag full of confiscated idioms.
"Jeez.." Said Yuuki. Victoria looked at her sister.
"Though it's not that we don't understand why they're taking these pictures..." Said Victoria. "All of them really are gorgeous..." She stops looking at her sister, and looks down again at the bag full of pictures with a small frown.
"Okay then!" Said Yuuki. Victoria looked at her sister helping her with the big bag. Victoria looked out the window and sees Zero siting on the tree. "Come on, Zero's skipping again?" Victoria looks at Yuuki. "I'll be back Onee-chan. I'll make sure he get a good lecture, kay." Yuuki nods her head and watches as her sister head toward Zero.
"Zero!" Says Victoria as she was right behind him. In Zero's hand she can see what looks like blood tablets. 'Why does he have blood tablets?' She looked at Zero with a mad face scolding him for skipping again, and this time for not helping her and her sister. He stands up look at her and put the blood tablet in his pocket.
"I'm already done." Said Zero.
"Victoria, Zero!" Said Yuuki. "Onee-chan, Zero says he is already done." She waves her hand at Yuuki saying that sentence to her. Victoria and Yuuki look at Zero as he walks away from them. 'Again, Zero why do you always walk away from. Again.' Victoria's hand starts to form into fist.
On their way to the Night Class Dorms she realizes that this her first time coming to the night dorms. How she was a little bit excited and wondered what could be inside there. They past the gatekeeper allowing them to go in to the Night Dorms. Victoria keeps on making glance at Zero looking at his back still wondering about the blood tablet that he still had in hands, should she tell Yuuki. No she would definitely freak, she still hasn't told her that Kaname was Pureblood. She figured that when the time is right when Kaname wants to tell her than it will be alright.
In the night dorms
The are now throwing everything out that Kaname broke in Aidou's room calling it his "Treasures." Some of them were complaining, Aidou of course had tears in eyes saying "My treasurers." over and over again.
Outside the Night dorms
"Ah, that's right!"
Yuuki and Victoria were right in front of Zero.
"Before we check the Moon Dorm, take out what's in your pocket." Said Yuuki.
"You're hiding something, right?" Said Victoria. As Zero looks away from Yuuki, but mostly Victoria. "If perfects get away with things like that, what will everyone else think?" Says Victoria. She starts going towards Zero when she missed placed her step on the stairs and starts fall over. Zero tries to catch her but falls in the process as well. Victoria can hear her sister screaming "Victoria!" as she runs towards them.
Zero looks at her shock than finally realizes what she is doing. She starts laughing a little saying "I got it~!" Victoria looks at what is in her hands, 'I was right he was holding blood tablet, but why though? Zero.'
Zero stands up and grabs the blood tablets from Victoria's hands. She looks up at Zero seeing that he was piss.
"It has nothing to do with you." Said Zero. That was when Victoria's mind went blank. 'Nothing to do with you, nothing to do with you.' It kept playing in her mind like s broken CD that keeps playing over and over, her eyes widen. She looks down at the ground trembling. Yuuki looks at her sister, and Zero just stares at her still pissed. She looks at Zero with hurt in her eyes.
"Nothing to do with me! Bull shit!" Zero was surprise and so was Yuuki. Victoria stands up from where she was siting and was still looking at Zero with hurt in her eyes. "I promised you Zero that I will always be there for you! Yet you shut me out and treat me like I am trash!"
"Shut up." Said Zero.
"No I am not going to shut up! Cause right now you are going to listen to me! You are my family Zero my older brother! I don't care if were are not biological siblings! I told you before that you are important! So would you stop with your stupid ego and for once at least talk me you idiot!"
In all of Victoria's life she has never yelled or screamed like that to anyone. Zero was taking back from what she was saying. He saw the hurt in her eyes and thought 'She cares about me that much.' In a way that made him happy, but it makes him sad seeing her hurt knowing that he was the one that hurt her.
Yuuki tried to calm down sister seeing the first time were her sister actually yelled at another person. Yuuki thought 'To Victoria she must think she is different person, but to me she will always be my little sister.'
Victoria grabs Yuuki's hand and drags her out of the the Moon Dorms never even giving a glance at where Zero is. Slowly Zero followed Victoria and Yuuki and thought 'Shit I screwed up didn't I.'
In the night dorms
"It seems like the prefect went back for something..." Said Shiki.
"I guess the inspections will have to wait." Said Ichijo.
"What?!" Said Aidou. "After trampling over what little happiness I had?!" Kaname looked at Aidou still pissed off. Aidou slowly starts to back away.
"But I must say I am surprise." Said Ichijo. "I never seen Victoria that upset or heard her even speak like that, almost as if she was a... different person."
"No." Said Kaname looking out the window. "She will always be Victoria... my little princess."
Outside of the gates
When Zero stared at Victoria he knew that he hurt her so he went a different way so he can calm down and think a little a bit.
This was noticed by Victoria staring at Zero. She looked at Yuuki telling her we should follow Zero. Yuuki nodded and head toward the direction to where Zero was going. A small town was their destination. Of course Yuuki and Victoria lost Zero. Victoria thought over what she said to Zero.
"Onee-chan do you think I was too hard on Zero." Said Victoria. Yuuki looked at her giving her a small hug.
"No Victoria. You only did that because Zero is very important to you. I would have done the same." Said Yuuki.
"Onee-chan you would have done the same... if it were for Kaname right?" Yuuki looked at her with disbelief wondering 'Kaname yes I would, but I would also do it for Zero...right?'
"I know your feelings for Kaname. I also have feeling for him too, but lets make a promise to each other." Victoria says holding out her pinky. "Who ever Kaname choose to be his lover. We will still be sister's and the best of friends, okay."
Yuuki looks at her sister. She gives a soft smile and hold out her pinky finger linking it with hers. They both laughed a little. Victoria felt a little better, but the one person she cared about right now was Zero. Yuuki and Victoria were holding hands so they wouldn't lose each other and looked all around trying to find Zero.
Suddenly Victoria felt a little a dizzy as she came deeper into the town, she looked at Yuuki can she can see the same thing happening to Yuuki. Her breathing got heavy as they both quickly started to walk faster and faster and faster almost running even. They became scared a little bit. They both hit a person and said in unison.
"I'm sorry! I'm really sorry!"
They started to run again not evening looking at the person. They finally stopped sit down and catching their breath. They didn't know why they started running, but she just felt so scared and she knew her sister felt the same.
Victoria started to remember 10 years ago when that vampire attacked her when she was alone with her sister. That was when she realized 'Was that the reason why my heart is beating so fast. Is that the reason why we ran so fast? Because we didn't want that to happen 10 years ago. That's right, that is exactly right.'
Victoria sees her sister trembling she hugs her sister trying to make her calm down and forget a little bit of that day 10 years ago. What she didn't notice was that she was trembling too. Yuuki noticed it and hugged her sister back both remember of that day, red eyes, sharp fangs, almost reaching down to her neck losing control.
They suddenly saw a boy with a red balloon that was stuck in a tree. Yuuki and Victoria went to the boy and helped him with the balloon. Once Victoria was going to give the balloon to the boy he started running. Victoria and Yuuki both started to run to him shouting wait. They were now at a banded town.
"Hey! Little boy!" Said Yuuki with a soft smile. "Your balloon... You left it behind." Said Victoria. What they didn't know was that the person they bumped into before was right behind them.
They walked up to the little boy Victoria handed the balloon to the boy and Yuuki smiled at him.
"This is yours, isn't it? Here!"
Once Victoria reached out to give him the balloon. The boy reached out but grabbed Victoria's hand as well as Yuuki.
"What?" Said Yuuki.
"What's wrong?" Said Victoria. The boy looked up at the two of them first his eyes were wide then they become tiny red eyes. His sharp fangs showed to the two of them his mouth wide.
"AAaaaaaaaa!"
They screamed. Victoria and Yuuki started to run and run and was at a dead end. Once they turned around their was a child's laughter in the background. 'What is going on? What happen to that boy?' Victoria thought this many times. Victoria looked up on her left side sees a women that was going to come down to them.
"Onee-chan." Victoria grabbed her hand and jumped down from the other side of the dead end. They landed on the ground still holding each others hand. They kept running and running and not looking back. They went up a stair case doesn't even matter how much it was, just kept running and running. 'I'm scared.' Victoria heard something in her mind that was almost a child like voice, but who ever that was the child was right Victoria was scared for her and for her sister.
They finally reached up to a stop when they went to the highest point. They open the door on the ground siting down on the ground with her back facing against the wall. Calming down and catching their breaths.
"Onee-chan." Said Victoria. Yuuki and Victoria looked at each other. "Was that a vampire? If it was..."
"I don't know." Said Yuuki. Victoria went over to her sister hugging her and Yuuki received the huge without hesitant.
"Because all the vampires we know, are beautiful." Said Victoria. Yuuki hugged her sister tighter. "That can't be a vampire Onee-chan...It can't." Victoria was almost about to break down in tears. She was scared saw something that she never did see, so many question, so so many questions in her mind. 'That can't be vampire.'
'I'm scared, I'm scared.' That child like voice was in her head again. 'The vampire will...eat us.' Again the child voice spoke in Victoria's head. She suddenly started to remember about the Vampire ten years ago. How she was so scared, yet never did showed it to the vampire or her sister she protect.
'No!' Victoria and Yuuki looked at each other, let go of each other and stand up. Victoria grabbed Hope, and Yuuki grabbed Artemis. Victoria put her hand on her necklace making sure if Mimi was okay. Mimi was trembling as well, but Mimi said something in her mind only she could hear.
'I'm not trembling for me. I'm trembling for you.' Victoria was shocked. She didn't why but she can think of one. That the vampire will hurt her, that is why Mimi is trembling. In her mind she told Mimi everything is going to be okay. Victoria looked at Yuuki and took her hand in her hers. Yuuki looked at her sister but Victoria only looked straight ahead.
"Don't worry." Said Victoria. She looked at her sister with a soft smile, and soft eyes. "I will protect you. And I know you will protect me, as long as we are together we will be fine."
Yuuki looked at her sister with the same soft smile, and soft eyes as she had.
"Aaaaaaaaa!"
Victoria looked behind her and blocked the vampire boy that was coming after Yuuki. He was kneeling down 2 feet on Hope. Yuuki and Victoria was near wall. Yuuki's back was against the wall, but Victoria's back was against Yuuki.
"You will not hurt my sister." Said Victoria. The boy didn't listen he only laughed. He switched his hand left and right until finally it cut her blood on her cheek and ripped up a little of her uniform. In the back she could hear her sister calling her name. The boy tried to get close to her, but he pushed him away with Hope. The boy jumped off of Hope.
He was siting on a wheel that helps make the bell ring. The bell ring so loud that it made Victoria dropped Hope and cover her ears. Yuuki also covered her ears as well. When the bell finally slowed down a little. She opened her eyes, and sees the boy was frantic looking at the window. Victoria and Yuuki did the same and who they saw shocked both of them.
"Poor thing. You fell to this state..." Said Kaname. He walked deeper into the building standing behind Yuuki and Victoria. "However..." Covering there eyes with his hands making sure they lean close to him. Yuuki and Victoria were holding each others hand making sure the other one didn't leave.
"K-Kaname-senpai..." They both said his name.
"You hurt two people that are precious to me." Said Kaname as his eyes turned red looking at the boy. He used his Vampire powers and suddenly a huge wind that they felt was right behind them. Until the wind was gone.
"Kaname-senpai..." Said Yuuki. Victoria couldn't move her mouth. 'This is what a pureblood's power is like... Amazing.' She thought. Kaname let go of them and walked next to Victoria. Victoria and Yuuki can see that the boy was gone.
"T-That just now was..." Said Victoria. Finally able to form words.
"A level E." Says Kaname as he looks at her.
"Level E?" They both look at Kaname.
"Like I thought, so it's not a vampire, right?" Said Yuuki. Victoria looked at Yuuki. She realized from what she was reading about Vampires from the headmaster was that Level E are still...
"No, Onee-chan... they're still vampires." Said Victoria. Yuuki and Kaname looked at her shocked. Kaname thought 'Wow, so she has been studying about Vampires.'
"B-But..." Said Yuuki. Victoria puts her hand on Yuuki's shoulder and Yuuki sees the blood on her cheek.
"Victoria, their is blood on her cheek." Says Yuuki. Victoria was about to wipe it off, but Kaname's hand beat her to it. He rubbed the blood of her cheek with his thumb.
"You sure get into trouble too often." Says Kaname. As he looks at Victoria and Yuuki. Victoria looked at him.
"I'm always going to be their for my sister, Kaname." Says Victoria as she takes Yuuki's hand in hers. "Even if it means my own life is endanger, and I know Onee-chan will do the same." Yuuki nods her head 'Yeah, always.' Yuuki thought.
"Still..." Says Kaname as he puts his hand on Victoria's cheek and hold Yuuki's other hand. "Coming to a dangerous place, where you could get hurt... and even coming alone..." He was about to kiss Victoria's cheek, but she backed away.
"I'm sorry for that Kaname. But we... were searching for Zero..." Says Victoria. Yuuki got her hand out of Kaname's grasp, putting her hand on Victoria's shoulder.
"I see." Said Kaname. "Well, he already headed back to the dorms. I'll take you two back to your dorms. The scent of Victoria's blood makes it too dangerous."
Back in the girls dorm
"All finished!" Said Yuuki. Victoria looks at her right hand sees that its all bandage up.
"Onee-chan, Yori-chan. I'll be going on patrol tonight." Victoria says as she stands up and headed to the door. "I'll wait for you at the usual place Onee-chan. Good night Yori-chan."
"Good night Victoria!" Says Yori.
Victoria heads out the door still hearing Yuuki and Yori having a conversation about her. Victoria kept thinking about that Level E, but she was thinking about...Zero. 'Zero is he alright?'
In the headmaster office
"Once again you're the only one they didn't fool.." Said Headmaster. "Extraordinary. Kaname-kun, you were able to prevent any human blood from being shed. Even within the vampires you're of a rare bloodline. A vampire among vampires... A pureblood. Directly inheriting the power of the most anicent vampires... An existence that's feared, even by other vampires..."
"Chairman Cross..." Says Kaname. "I've told you the things that I have because I put my faith in you." Kaname walks up to his desk putting is two hand on it. "Keeping Zero along with the normal students much longer would be..." He puts is nail in the desk with his vampire powers almost breaking the desk. "Do you intend to keep him there. where he threaten this "peace" that you've worked for?"
Outside of the Headmaster office
Victoria knocked on the door where Zero room was. He didn't answer so she just walked away still trying to find Zero. 'Zero.'
Headmaster Office
"Kiryuu-kun's parents were killed by a vampire. He was miraculously rescued from within that sea of you put him through anything else after that?" Said Headmaster
"But the one who attacked them wasn't just any vampire." Said Kaname. "She was a pureblood, just like me."
At the stair case
Zero starts siting down panting. He can see images of Victoria, one that was holding blood tablet above him and another one when Kaname hold her and closed her eyes with his hand.
"Zero!" Zero turned around and saw Victoria. She gives him a small smile with soft eyes. "I'm glad you're okay? Look I'm sorry what happen at the Night Dorms. It's just that... We told each other everything and I feel like I've understand a little a bit, of what you are saying. That there are actually scary vampires out there..." She paused and took deep breath.
"No...That wasn't a vampire." Victoria walked down the stairs getting closer to Zero. "It was a beast... that just took a human form." As she got closer to him.
"STAY AWAY!" Said Zero. Victoria looked at him with wide eyes 'Why?'
"W-Why...?" Said Victoria. "I still want to talk with you...! Like we use to. I want you tell me me more about you again! Because we're the sa-" She was cut off by Zero.
"-No, we aren't!" Victoria looked at him holding in her breath. "We aren't." Victoria paused eyes of sadness but with a small smile.
"Sorry..." Said Victoria. "I was thinking selfishly. Thinking that I was fighting the same pains and fears you were, Zero. I'm sorry... I was just being full of myself...I'm sorry." Victoria couldn't take it anymore because she felt like she was going to cry. She was going to turn around and walked up the stair but...
"Vic-" Zero grabbed her hand that was injured and some of the bandage was coming off her hand that had blood on them. Suddenly Zero grabs hold of Victoria one hand on her hand and the other on her chin.
"Z-Zero?" Victoria was full of fear and was wondering what was going on with him. Zero licked her neck were the pulse was for blood. She looked at Zero from the corner of her eye full of fright. She closed her eyes and Zero bit her neck. Victoria's eyes were wide.
'What?' Victoria looked at the floor and saw the blood tablet that was on the floor behind Zero. 'Wait that was the one I saw at the tree, and when I grabbed it out of his coat' Suddenly Victoria gets flashbacks.'The blood tablet that was in the bathroom. The reason why he pushes me. Why he looks like he is in pain? Zero is...Zero is...'
"Z-Zero! St-! Stop!" Victoria tried to push him off of her. She turned around "NO!" pushed Zero covering her neck with her hand where he bite her. She sees eyes that are the color of red like blood. With her blood covered all over of his mouth and some down to his neck. She sees fangs that are in his mouth. Using his hand to wipe some of the blood off of his mouth.
Victoria then realizes about his family being killed by a vampire and the book she read about vampires from the headmaster. 'Was Zero's family killed by a Pureblood? That has to be it. Once a human is bitten by a pureblood there are only two things that could happen. One their blood can be toxic to them, and they would die or go through the transformation of becoming a vampire themselves. So then Zero is...' Victoria's eyes were wide and looked at Zero.
"W-Why?" Says Victoria. Her blood started to drip on the floor. Zero looked at Victoria than realizing what he as done.
"Victoria..." Says Zero. His eyes turned back to his lavender color eyes. "I'm sorry."
'Why, Why? Out of all people it had be him that was close to me. Yet I never did see it or realize it that Zero is... a vampire?"
