Here is another chapter. Hope you like it. I do not own Vampire Knight.
Chapter 7
Victoria and Zero were still in the pool. Zero holding his shoulder while Victoria was still looking at Toga. Zero started to scream in pain.
"Zero!" Said Victoria. As she gets closer to him. On hand on his back and the other on his chest.
"Even if it's just a graze, the pain is excruciating, isn't it?" Said Toga. Victoria looks at Toga that is still pointing the gun at Zero. From the corner of her she can see Yuuki with a worried expression. Victoria looks back at Toga. "That's because the bullet has an anti-vampire spell embedded in it. Zero... even if you are hungry for blood, do you still have enough reason to resign to your fate."
Zero's eyes were wide. Victoria knew where this was going. as the gun got higher to his Zero's head. Victoria hold Zero in her arms.
"Yagari-sensei... I don't know what you are to Zero..." Said Victoria. "But please don't decide Zero's fate arbitrarily! Everyone can change their own fate!"
"You believe that he hasn't degenerated to Level E yet?" Said Toga.
"Victoria..." Said Zero. Putting his hand on her shoulder looking at her. "It's okay..." When Victoria looks into Zero's eyes, she can see the emptiness in his eyes.
"That's as far as you go!" Said the headmaster as he runs to Toga. "I came because I was worried and look...!" He grabs the gun out of Toga grasp. "That's why I hate Vampire Hunters." Toga took the gun from the headmaster. "Just how long do you intend to keep the girl in that cold water? You poor thing" The headmaster leans down reaching his hand to Victoria and Zero. "Here, grab my hand."
Victoria and Zero got out of the pool but none of them reached the headmasters hand as they were next to him. Victoria stands up looks at Toga. Yuuki runs to her sister making sure she is okay.
"Just who are you?" Said Yuuki.
"I was Zero's master when he was a Vampire Hunter. Isn't that so, Zero?" Zero was walking past Toga before he stopped and answer.
"Yes." Said Zero. 'Zero.' Victoria thought.
"You two are the daughter of that fool headmaster, all right." Said Toga. "You girl were about to be bitten by Zero. Yet you consider me that foe rather than him?" Victoria looks at Toga. The headmaster started to talk making Yuuki and Victoria to go back to their dorms.
Yuuki, Victoria, and Yori's dorm
"Onee-chan." Yuuki looks at her sister that was siting with her on her bed. Victoria looked at the bracelet. "The headmaster said I don't need to worry. But... When I saw that the blood tablet were of no use to Zero, that he continue to hunger for blood. He will be eaten by the vampire inside him, wouldn't he?"
Yuuki holds her sister trying to comfort her as anyway possible. "What can I do Onee-chan? I want to help Zero, but I feel so useless. I don't want him to turn into a Level E." Victoria cried in her sisters arms. Yuuki gently rubbed her backed telling her everything is going to be okay. Victoria cried and cried until she fell asleep in her sister's arms.
The next morning
Victoria kept thinking about yesterday. Victoria looks next to her seeing that Zero is not there. 'Zero isn't here.'
At the Moon Dorm gates.
"All right, move back! Move back!" Said Victoria and Yuuki as they pushed the fangirls away so that the Night Class can have a path way. The whole time Victoria didn't look at Kaname or Yuuki but Kaname looked at her and walked away.
Victoria knocked at Zero's door, but once she opened the door, no one is in.
'Zero where are you?' She started to run to the Night Class hallway only to see that Yuuki and Toga are already there.
"Where is Zero?!" Shouted Victoria. Toga and Yuuki looked at her. "Just like I told your sister he is in Isolation." Victoria looks at him with anger in her eyes.
"We'll I should be going into class, aren't you going to come with me, my little helper?" Said Toga as he was looking at Victoria. Yuuki looked at Victoria with a confused look. Victoria looks at Yuuki.
"The headmaster asked me to help Yagari-sensei and makes sure he doesn't do anything to the Night Class." Yuuki only gives a nod. "Stay here and wait for me okay, Onee-chan." Yuuki again nods. Yagari opens the door, but Victoria stops leaving the door a little bit open. She sees Kaname walking up to her.
"I haven't seen Kiryuu today." Said Kaname as he opens the door to the Night Class. "For his own good... perhaps you should reconsider his transfer to the Night Class." Kaname looks at Victoria one more time opening the door, but what he didn't expect was that Victoria was coming inside as well.
Kaname starts walking forward looking at the teacher then goes up the stair reading a book next to his chair.
"I'm Toga Yagari, your ethics teacher starting today." Toga looks at Victoria. "Would you like to say something or are you just gonna a lean on the door the whole time."
"My job is only to watch you, Yagari-sensei. So no, plus they know me." Said Victoria as she looks at Kaname that is staring at her before returning to his book.
"Very well then. It's nice to meet you all, vampires." Once he said that all of the vampires in the room eyes turned to red.
"Yagari? That's the name of the number one Vampire Hunter right now." Said Ruka.
"So he's the one behind last night's gunfire." Said Aidou. Toga starts talking to the class telling him that he is an excellent teacher with a proper certification.
"And you intend to spy on the Night Class from now?" Said Kaname. "Or, is there a vampire among us you want to kill...Yagari-sensei."
"Hello, Kuran Kaname." Said Toga. "Regrettably, my execution list is empty right now. But if you fall asleep during my lecture, I can add you on."
"Yagari-sensei." Said Victoria as everyone looks at her including Kaname. "I suggest you start class. After all you don't want to make your own students your enemies now."
"I suppose you are right." Said Toga. "But...little helper." Victoria sees in his eyes that he knows exactly what she wants to say after this class.
"Yes, I would like to speak to you after class, sensei." As Victoria said it made it sound like a mocking tone. Kaname smiled a little bit. 'We'll aren't you little miss comedy.' Victoria looks at Kaname, while everyone else was looking at the board. Victoria put her index finger on her lips making a shhh movement.
At the end of the Night Class
"Are there any questions?" Said Toga. Nobody raised their hands. Victoria was about to turn around when she hears a wind being cut and something ripped. She looked at Toga seeing a knife sliced into the middle of his book.
"That's some greeting." Said Toga. Victoria only gave a sigh as she started to open the door heading out. Ignore the fact that he was keeping the knife and making it a memento. Victoria sees Yuuki waiting for her. As she hears the door open to reveal Toga heading out.
"You two still here?" Said Toga.
"We are not leaving until you tell us where Zero is." Said Victoria. Toga starts walking towards her.
"There's nothing more a good girl like you can do." Said Toga. Saying it to Victoria. "But if you still insist on seeing him...Go right ahead. He's in the headmaster's guest room." Toga starts walking away. Victoria looks at different direction and starts running trying to Zero leaving Yuuki behind.
Victoria knocks on the door. The person that opens the door, the person she tried to find, Zero. Zero looks at her with big eyes.
"Vic-toria." Said Zero.
"How did you-?" Said Zero
"How can you stay here so obediently?" Said Victoria. 'I understand he is your master, but...' "There's no lock on this door, And yet, you..."
"Go away." Said Zero as he was about to shut the door but Victoria stopped it looking at him.
"Why?! How can you just listen to that man?" Said Victoria.
"The Kiryuu family has been Vampire Hunters for generations." Said Zero. Zero told Victoria the story of his family and that man was his and his kid brother guardian, and teacher. That when he first saw a Level E was a nurse that was beautiful. "One day, she transformed into a raging vampire before our very eyes." Said Zero. He told her that he was trying to stop Toga from hurting her but in the end the vampire lost insanity and Toga hurt his eye from protecting Zero.
"It was then...as she continued to bare her fangs despite her throat being crushed...until the moment she died... that for the first time, I felt real fear towards vampires. So if he says he must kill me, then I..." Victoria was shocked from the story Zero told her.
"No! That's not it! The truth is..." Said Victoria looking at him. "Zero,, you're just ready to give up on everything!" Victoria paused a little trembling. "You entrusted me with that horrible weapon...So don't you go running away all by yourself!"She walked back from the door.
"Please let me in." Said Victoria. She walked inside grabbed Zero's hand and making him walk towards the bathroom.
"Victoria...what are you...?" Said Zero.
"No one will find us or hear us in here." Said Victoria as she heads in the bathroom along with Zero. Victoria takes off her jacket saying in the meantime "Continue where you left off yesterday..."
"What are you saying?!" Said Zero. Victoria pulls Zero against the wall. She can feel the heat on her cheeks.
"This is the best thing to do!" Said Victoria as her and Zero starts to sit down. Zero still looking at her. "Zero...drink my blood. I want to ease the pain...Even if it's just for now." Zero looks up a slight blush on his cheek.
"Stop...please! I'd never forgive myself." Said Zero. Victoria was looking down at the ground.
"I know that Zero, but I know what I'm doing." Said Victoria. As Zero starts getting closer to her and breathing heavy. "I want to help you Zero. I'm sorry..." Zero opened his mouth showing fangs. 'Let's do...the one thing we mustn't do...together.' Zero bit her neck drinking the blood. Zero grabs part of her hair making her stretch her neck.
'I'm afraid. The vampire will...eat us.' Said a child-like voice as Zero tightens his hold on Victoria. Victoria can here the sound of Zero slurping her blood. 'I'm afraid.' Victoria starts to lift up her arms hugging Zero. Zero releases his hold on Victoria and leans against the wall.
"Zero, are you all alright?" Said Victoria. She can see the blood that goes down his chin and that is on his lips.
"This is... really shameful." Said Zero as he looks at the blood from Victoria's neck coming down. "Even though I hate vampires... Even though I don't want to hurt anyone... I can't stop this craving for blood." Zero whips the blood on his hand and Victoria can see a slight blush that also makes her cheeks starts to heat up.
Zero looks at Victoria with a sad expression. "Just give up on me already." Said Zero with a slight weak voice. "You know, don't you? This is no different from the tablet...This will just tide me over...until I acquire a taste for your blood."
"Give up on you? What a cruel thing to say... I'll keep my promise to you over and over again. I will protect you Zero." Victoria looks at Zero with confident in her eyes. "I want to help you Zero. I will always be by your side. Even if you refuse, even if you hate me for it, no matter how often it takes... I will tame that beast inside you, Zero. You are not a Level E. As if I'd let you die! You can hate vampires as well as hate me but...At least, we won't be giving up!" Victoria looks at the ground closing her eyes.
"How could I hate you?" Said Zero. 'Huh?' "Are you alright?"
"Yes, I'm fine. I don't feel like fainting at all." Said Victoria giving him a smile and a slight blush. "I'm fine. Nothing will change. So Zero, come to school tomorrow too. Promise me!"
'There was something we both knew, yet left unsaid. I wouldn't tell even Onee-chan about this. For a human to use one's own blood...' Victoria thought as she walked down the path to the girls dorm. She looks up and sees Kaname. '...to sustain the existence of a vampire...was a sin. No one must ever find out for what we are doing is unforgivable.'
"Where have you been, Victoria?" Said Kaname.
"Huh? What happened to classes for the Night Class?" Said Victoria.
"They ended and everyone has gone back to the dorm." Said Kaname. "I had business with the Headmaster."
"I see." Said Victoria. Kaname starts walking closer to Victoria. Kaname touches part of Victoria's hair.
"The end of your hair is wet. Did you wash away something?" Said Kaname. 'No not this person.' Victoria thought as she looked up at Kaname. 'Don't look! Don't look at Zero's bite marks!' Victoria closes her eyes. She suddenly feels arms surrounding her in a hug. She opens her eyes.
"Kaname-senp-?" Said Victoria as she was suddenly cut off.
"When did you stop...talking to me about everything?" Said Kaname. Victoria's eyes started to get wide with a slight blush feeling Kaname's hand going through her hair. "I hope that what you are trying to protect... does not end up hurting you." Kaname suddenly starts pulling her back. Victoria looks at Kaname. "You should go to bed." Kaname started to walk away.
'I made up my mind that I will not regret what I made Zero to do or the promise I made for myself to Zero. Yet, why does my heart hurt so much?' Victoria starts walking forward not even looking behind her to see Kaname.
The next morning in class
Victoria looks next her seeing Zero is still gone.
'Come on, Zero. Please come and show me and Onee-chan that you're all right, Zero.' Victoria thought.
In Zero's room
Zero was sitting down his back leaning against the wall. Toga walks in the room opening the curtains showing some light when he says.
"How is your right shoulder?" Said Toga. Zero was surprised at this.
"Huh?" Said Zero.
"Even if it wasn't a vital spot, you were shot with an anti-vampire gun. You may have the regenerative powers of a vampire, but it will still take time to heal. As long as you don't drink the blood of a human..." Zero's eyes become wide.
"Huh?" Said Zero. Toga reached out and took out a gun.
In the Day Class
Victoria heard something about Toga about being late that's when she realized 'Oh no, I almost forgot...' Victoria starts to run out of class hearing Yori and Yuuki screaming
"Victoria!"
"I'll be right back Onee-chan, Yori-chan!" Yuuki and Yori only looked at her nodding. 'Victoria.' Thought Yuuki.
Victoria started running and jumped down landing perfectly on her feet.
"I am so stupid. I shouldn't have left Zero alone!" Victoria thought as she started running to Zero's room only to see Toga holding Bloody Rose pointing at Zero.
"Stop, Zero!" By the sound of Victoria's voice. Zero reached Bloody Rose to only suddenly hold it up. Toga only fired two bullets that didn't even hit him.
"So you've decided not to wait for me to kill you?" Said Toga. "Geez...Don't you remember?" Victoria was only standing at the door with her eyes wide open. "That you'd "never let me regret losing my right eye" to save your life. That day, you pledged an oath to me. Looking at you just now, I really thought of killing you. I don't recall saving such a spoiled kid... who wants to take the easy way out. Struggle until you can't struggle anymore. You just chose a life stained with blood." Toga starts to turn around "Don't try to run away...Zero." Walks to the door.
"You little girl," Victoria looks up at Toga.
"W-What is it?"
"If he goes on a rampage again, you stop him. Going easy on him will only get you hurt. Unless you let him have it with a bullet, he won't stop completely. But in contrast, it's better for him that way."
"I know that, but I will stop Zero. I promised him and I am going to keep my promise until the end." Toga only gave a little smile until he re-composure himself. "When you shot him back at the pool...?" Said Victoria.
"I could finished him off with one bullet, if I wanted to. As if I'd miss at that range. You've got to be kidding. Wouldn't happen." Said Toga. 'Yagari-sensei you really do care about Zero.'
"Zero,..."That women." It seems she's still alive." Said Toga. Zero looked up his eyes widening. Toga started to walk away.
'Why am I suddenly forgetting everything in this anime and seeing new memories, but who is... 'that women?'' Thought Victoria. Victoria looks at Zero with a shock face and his hand on his tattoo. She starts to walk toward him her bangs covering her eyes.
"Zero...I really thought you were going to die." Zero looks at Victoria.
"Victoria..." He starts to stand up, first hesitating to touch her, but Zero patted her head saying
"I won't run away, so don't cry anymore." Said Zero. In Victoria's eyes were tears. Zero puts his arm down and Victoria started to walk to the window.
'I..." Tears streaming down her cheek "don't regret a thing...'
