I hope you like this chapter. I do not won Vampire Knight. I do not own OC.
Chapter 14
'Shizuka...' Victoria thought. 'You need to realize that the boy you toke care of isn't the the little child anymore.' Akatsuki was outside the door.
"Kaien-senpai?" Victoria said. Suddenly Akatsuki started to walk out of the room. Victoria looked at Yuki seeing her worried. "I'll be right back Onee-chan." Yuki nodded and Victoria walked out of the room into the hallway deep enough to know that no one can see what she is going to do.
"Mimi." Said Victoria. Mimi was right in front of her.
"Let me guess." Said Mimi. "You want to know what happened to Shizuka and Ichiru."
"I know that Shizuka is going to die, but I wanted to do this so I can find Zero." Said Victoria.
"It is your choice, Victoria." Mimi nodded and changed the hallway into the room where Shizuka was.
"I know where that-" Victoria was suddenly cut off by Ichiru's voice.
"Shizuka-sama..." Said Ichiru.
'Huh?' Victoria thought.
"Shizuka-sama! Shizuka-sama!" Said Ichiru. There was blood on her hand that was trying to touch Ichiru.
"It is extremely difficult for me to die." Said Shizuka. Ichiru grabbed Shizuka's hand.
"Shizuka-sama!" Said Ichiru. "I'll let you drink my blood, so please don't die." He had tears in his eyes and put Shizuka's back head on his cheek.
"No." Said Shizuka getting her hand out of Ichiru's grasp. "Of all people, you are the only one I will not turn into a vampire. Besides, it is already too late..." Then a bell started ring, like when a clock hits 12 it rings. Then little balls of light came out of Shizuka's body. Ichiru took hold of Shizuka's hand once again.
"No... I don't want this, Shizuka-sama!" Said Ichiru hugging Shizuka tightly.
'Shizuka...Ichiru...' Victoria thought.
'Shizuka you are remembering somethings with you and Ichiru aren't you?' Victoria thought. Victoria kept walking in the halls trying to find the room, but was listening to the conversation as well. 'You always pretended to notice his feelings for you, right?' Victoria smiled a little. 'But you also think of him important, like you are important to him.'
"What is the matter?" Said Shizuka. Victoria looked at the scene from the corner of her eye where Mimi was showing her and and saw that Shizuka was slowly dying. "Why are you crying like a child? Did you truly love me?"
"You were aware of my feelings, weren't you?" Said Ichiru. Another bell started ring making Shizuka disappear even faster, but still slow.
"Do you wish for me to stay with you?" Said Shizuka. "I won't leave you alone." Shizuka pulled Ichiru closer to her. Victoria then sees Zero coming closer to the room. She can tell that the blood of Shizuka and the Level E in him started to effect.
"Please that's enough Mimi." Said Victoria. Mimi stopped showing her the scene with Zero. "I don't want to see that. We have to hurry..." Victoria looked at Mimi. "Come one." Mimi turned back into a necklace and Victoria started to run to where the room was.
With Zero.
Zero was leaning on the banister when the Level E started to hit him.
'What is this?' Zero thought holding onto his neck. Zero walked into the room to see Ichiru and Shizuka together.
"What...are you putting in your mouth?" Said Zero. Ichiru turned to looked at him. Zero was now effected by the Level E but this time worse, he started to lean down holding himself. Ichiru stand up holding Shizuka bridle style.
"Shizuka-sama's blood is stimulation and stirring the Level in you, right, Zero?" Said Ichiru. "But it is already too late." Once Ichiru said that Shizuka was into little pieces slowly disappearing.
To Victoria.
Victoria was still running in the halls, until Mimi started to turn back into a pink puff ball and fell on the floor. Victoria stopped running and looked at Mimi with worry in her eyes. Victoria looked around to see the room started to become completely black nothing or nobody here.
"Mimi, what's wrong?" Said Victoria.
"Hiou Shizuka is dead." Said Mimi. Suddenly a bright light started to hit the room. Victoria covered her eyes along with Mimi and waited until the light was down. The light reveled to show someone she never thought would show them selves.
"Shi..zuka." Victoria said with her eyes widen. Shizuka went closer to Victoria, but once she saw Mimi her eyes started to get sad.
"You are not from this world, are you?" Said Shizuka.
"How do you know that?" Said Victoria standing up with Mimi in her arms.
"In time that answer will come to you." Said Shizuka. "What is this pink's puff ball name?"
"Her name is Mimi or Minami." Said Victoria. Shizuka's eyes started to get wide but was back to normal and looked at Victoria.
"I guess this little one chooses you as it's master." Said Shizuka. Victoria only nodded but held onto Mimi close to her. Victoria looked at Mimi and to see she is pain.
"Why is she in pain?" Said Victoria.
"Because I can tell her master before you was Pureblood." Said Shizuka.
"A pureblood?" Said Victoria.
"A feather can be anyone in this world, your world, or other worlds, but..." Said Shizuka. "when one of the feather's master is the same kind as them they can feel that it was their own master is dead." Victoria looked Mimi.
'Mimi how long have you been in this world, and how many masters do you have?' Victoria thought. Shizuka was going to put her hand on Mimi's head but Victoria pulled Mimi away from her. Shizuka looked at Victoria seeing the confusion in her eyes.
"I am going to heal her to ease the pain. She already had many master's died and seems like she has been asleep for ten years because of that many masters that died." Said Shizuka. Shizuka put her hand on Mimi. Then a huge purple light started to show. Victoria slowly lowered Mimi onto the floor and then comes a little child with pink hair, and pink dress. Mimi opened her eyes to show blue eyes.
"Mimi." Said Victoria. Mimi looked at Victoria but then say that Shizuka was with her.
"Shizuka." Said Mimi.
"I have woken your powers that has been open for 5 years. You need to wait for a while until you can officially turn into your original form." Said Shizuka. Victoria walked to Mimi.
"So then you can't turn into a necklace anymore." Said Victoria. "And this isn't your true form." Mimi gave a little sigh.
"I think it's time I tell you." Said Mimi. "I can turn into 4 phases. 1. an object. 2. a puff ball of any color. 3. a little child. and 4. original form. Which is an adult." Victoria looked to see Shizuka, but noticed that she was gone. "Shizuka-sama knows that her time here is over. She was helping me go into stage 3. I can turn into a necklace and puff ball, but since I am in stage 3 I have different powers as well. Plus I can see that I don't have to wait much longer until stage 4." Victoria nodded.
'You are starting to act seriously mature, Mimi, and what do you not much longer?' Victoria thought.
"I'm just glad your okay, but I will worry about your other powers later." Said Victoria. "Now can you turn the scene back into the hallway and my necklace again." Mimi nodded as she used her powers and turned into her necklace very fast without Victoria knowing.
"Okay. Note your power increased by speed." Said Victoria she started to run in the hallway to find Zero.
Back to Zero
"In the end, to her, I was nothing but a-" Said Ichiru.
"Y-You're wrong." Said Zero. Ichiru turn to face Zero completely. "She wanted you...to remain...as you are..." The level E in Zero was starting to affect him even more. "She didn't want...to turn you into a...vampire..."
"Once again...Once again, it's you!" Said Ichiru. He was holding the bell that Shizuka had on her kimono. "Unlike you, I was always by her side! How could you understand that, when I didn't?!" Ichiru started to walk closer to Zero, but stopped.
"There is also someone I wouldn't want turned into a vampire, no matter what happens..." Said Zero. Zero was starting to lean against the door holding his neck. "That's why..." Zero looked at Ichiru showing him crimson eyes and fangs. "I understand very well..."
"That's enough." Said Ichiru as he hold on to Zero's collar. "You are really unsightly now, Zero. You are not the Zero... I used to detest and admire. You are..." Ichiru let go of Zero making him fall to the ground. "You're already...a Level E now." Ichiru was going to walk out the window.
"Ichi...ru..." Said Zero reaching out to him but fall again to the floor. Zero looked up to see that Ichiru was gone out of the window. Zero can hear the sounds of high heels running to the room. "Vict...oria..." Zero tried to sit up but fall on the floor this time his back on the floor. 'Don't look...at me...Victoria...Don't look at me!' Zero thought.
Outside of the room
Victoria run up the stair to see Akatsuki heading to the room she was going to. She run up to Akatsuki.
"Senpai, please wait!" Said Victoria. "Senpai!" Victoria tried to push him back, but Akatsuki was too strong as he kept moving forward. Akatsuki opened the door. "Sen-" Victoria and Akatsuki were both surprised to see the headmaster in the room. On the floor was Shizuka's kimonos and shattered pieces of Shizuka.
"Hey." Said the Headmaster.
"Headmaster?" Said Akatsuki. Victoria run up to the headmaster.
"Why are you here?" Said Victoria. Victoria looked left and right. "Where's Zero? Where did he go?"
"Oh, yes, he was injured." Said the headmaster pushing up his glasses. Victoria stopped looking around to look at the headmaster. "So I had Yagari take him to the Association's infirmary."
"How's Zero doing?" Said Victoria.
"He's fine." Said the headmaster. "I'm only doing this as a precaution."
The next morning
Victoria and Yuki was in class, but all Victoria could think about was the person next to her missing.
'Zero...' Victoria thought. Victoria looked at her sister to see that she is taking notes and trying to solve these answers. 'Wow, she is actually taking notes.'
"I can't believe you're actually diligently taking notes, Yuki." Said Yori.
"Yeah, I'm surprise as you are Yori-chan." Said Victoria.
"She must been working hard of all of a sudden, ever since the ball." Said Yori.
"Hmm I guess, but she did got to dance with Kaname-sama. Plus I'm if you learned your lesson, Onee-chan?" Victoria thought.
"Ah, yeah..." Said Yuki. Yuki looked at Victoria. "Plus it was fun dancing with him for a while. I guess I have learned my lesson." Victoria and Yuki both looked at Class Rep to see him look intense at Yuki. Yuki looks at Victoria. "I can see that Zero is absent."
"Yeah." Said Victoria. "I toke notes for him."
In the headmaster office
Victoria was in front of the headmaster and Yuki was behind her. Victoria already told Yuki what happened with Zero once they went their dorms last night. She even told her about Mimi about the stages and stage 3, while Yori was asleep.
"When is Zero coming back?" Said Victoria.
"I don't think he will be away for long, but it's just that..." Said Headmaster. "Kiryu-kun is really energetic, so I think it'll be better for him to be suppressed a little bit." Victoria started to get a little mad. Yuki put her hand on Victoria's shoulder to comfort her. "Let's go pay him a visit later." Victoria and Yuki looked at the headmaster with wide eyes and then with a little smile and soft eyes.
"Okay." Said Victoria and Yuki.
"Headmaster, were you aware of it?" Said Yuki.
"About Maria..." Said Victoria.
"About Hiou Shizuka..." They both said in unison.
"No, I wasn't." Said Headmaster looking at the window. "Pathetic, aren't I? Even though my precious children were facing danger, there was nothing I could do to save them." Victoria and Yuki had sad smile on their faces, including sad eyes.
"That's not true." Said Victoria.
In the night Class dorm
Kaname was siting on the couch, while Aidou and Akatsuki were standing up in front him.
"All that remained were the scattered pieces of Hiou Shizuka's body." Said Akatsuki. "And I heard that the Headmaster took custody of Kiryu Zero. That's everything I saw; I have nothing else to report."
"I see." Said Kaname. "I did not think Kiryu-kun was someone who would do something so foolish. But judging from the situation, I suppose there is no denying that in all likelihood, he is thee one who killed her." Kaname looked at Aidou. "Is something wrong, Aidou?"
"N-No." Said Aidou.
"Regardless, I must report this to the Senate." Said Kaname. Kaname stand up and looked out of the window. "Every single detail. It is fact that someone has committed the taboo of killing a Pureblood. How sad. I wonder if there was anyone who truly understood her, the reputed Madly Blossoming Princess..."
Akatsuki was walking down the stairs but stopped to looked at Aidou.
"Judging from your attitude, something must have happened." Said Akatsuki.
"Hey." Said Aidou. Aidou asked question about Shizuka. Shizuka was rare pureblood, Aidou believed that was what she was.
"She had a fiance who is also a Pureblood." Said Aidou. "Despite having him as a fiance, she kept a human...no, more correctly, an ex-human vampire by her side. Shizuka appeared to have truly loved that servant." Aidou was saying the story of Shizuka's life that her lover was on the list of the Hunter's association and was killed by the Kiryu family. That the men she loved was succumb to Level E. Shizuka took revenge on the Kiryu family. Aidou started to remember the words from Kaname killing Shizuka.
'The blood and power of a Pureblood...I will destroy the thing you truly scorn. The thing that throws the fate of Purebloods into chaos.'
In Kaname's room
Kaname was trying to control his powers from Shizuka. He cracked the windows with his new vampire powers, and put his hand on her head.
"It will take some effort to control these powers." Said Kaname. Then the whole windows cracked completely making little tiny cracks. His crimson eyes turned back to his normal eyes. "Oh well, I suppose I shall soon grow accustomed to them. The next game has already begun." Kaname grabbed his Night Class jacket.
Victoria was siting on the fountain.
"Victoria..." Said Yuki. Victoria looked at Yuki.
"I'll be fine, Onee-chan. You go back to our dorms and I'll do patrolling for tonight." Said Victoria.
"Are you sure?" Said Yuki.
"Yes, please Onee-chan I want to be alone for a while." Said Victoria. Yuki nodded and walked to her dorms. Victoria looked down at the water from the fountain.
'Zero...' Victoria thought. 'I wonder how he's feeling now.'
"Thank you for patrolling the school." Victoria looked at the person who was talking to see Kaname. Victoria stand up.
"Kaname-senpai!" Said Victoria. Kaname walked to Victoria.
"Are you taking a break now?" Said Kaname. Kaname put his hand Victoria's shoulder. Victoria sit back down on the fountain and Kaname sat next to her.
"I heard Kiryu-kun was injured." Said Kaname. "How is he doing?"
"Oh, well um..." Said Victoria. Victoria gave him the best smile she could make. "The headmaster said he's doing fine." Victoria couldn't bear the smile so she started to with a sad smile.
"You became involved in a problem that should have been resolved by the Night Class on account of me." Said Kaname. Victoria looked at Kaname. "However..." Kaname touched Victoria's cheek. He was really close to Victoria. "that was due to your refusal to let me protect you, Victoria." Victoria looked down.
"Th-That's..." Said Victoria. Kaname put his down on his lap.
"I believe it will be rather difficult for Kiryu-kun to fulfill that role now." Said Kaname. Victoria looked at Kaname, but then closed her eyes.
"Zero saved me and Onee-chan." Said Victoria. "Even though I promised I would protect him including Onee-chan...In the end," Victoria's head clenched in a fist. "I was the one being protected..." Kaname stand up.
"I see." Said Kaname. Victoria looked at Kaname that was walking away.
"Kaname-senpai?" Said Victoria.
"There is no need to blame yourself, Victoria." Said Kaname as he stopped still facing his back on her. Victoria stand up.
"Huh?" Said Victoria.
"He is obligated to do that much for you." Said Kaname. The wind began to blow.
"You are...wrong." Said Victoria. She went back down to the fountain again. "You are wrong, Kaname-senpai."
'Zero was suffering...' Victoria thought. 'No, he wasn't the only one. To be able to perish together, with me... She doesn't crave my blood! She refused to drink my blood! Everyone suffers from their intertwined fates. I don't even want Onee-chan to be in this suffering, but no matter what I do she is. While the only thing I can do is stand by and watch. It did cross my mind... the thought of perishing with her. But, I'll be back.' Victoria touched her chest were her heart was and clenched her hands in a first looking up to the sky. 'I believe you, Zero.'
The headmaster was walking down the stairs to open to a room.
"How's Zero?" Said the Headmaster.
"Not good." Said Yagari. In the room, Zero was siting down in chains on his wrist and behind him on the wall was the tattoo that was on his neck, that glowed green. "I even tried giving him some medication."
Zero looked up. He had crimson eyes and fangs as he was trying to attack but the chains on his wrist held him back. Zero was breathing very heavy.
"Enough already." Said Zero.
"Zero." Said the headmaster.
"Kill me." Said Zero. The headmaster and Yagari was surprised. Yagari was going to but was stop by the headmaster holding on to his arm.
"You can't." Said the headmaster. "Victoria is...waiting for you, including Yuki." Zero looked up.
"Vict..." Said Zero. Suddenly there was a big sound.
"What's that noise?" Said the headmaster looking at Yagari.
"Has the Senate learned about Shizuka's death?" Said Yagari. They both walked out of the room leaving Zero alone. Zero started to stand up by the support of chains. He started to lean on the wall siting back down.
"What a pity." Zero looked at the owner of the voice to see in the corner of the room was Kaname. "You did not drink the blood that could have saved you." Kaname started to walk closer to Zero. "I even left some for you. Victoria is also grieving over you."
"Vict...oria..." Said Zero putting both of his hand head. Zero was shaking his head left and right. "Victoria..." Zero started to get out control
"This is surprising." Said Kaname. Kaname leaned down to Zero. "You are still able to remain conscious, even at this point." Kaname bit into his hand showing Zero the blood dropping from Kaname hand. Zero smacked Kaname's hand away from him.
"A craving thirst for blood," Said Kaname. "and yet, you continue to struggle." Kaname pulled on Zero's collar. "The pureblood flowing within me is capable of prolonging your life and distancing you from the looming shadow of madness." Zero moved his head to the side, but Kaname pulled his chin to look at him. "I do not do this for you. It is not for your sake. This is for Victoria's sake."
Kaname grabbed onto Zero's head, and pulled his head towards Kaname's neck.
"Drink." Said Kaname. Zero hesitated at first, but after some time Zero bit into his neck.
In the Moon Dorms
Ruka can smell the bleed of Kaname's.
"Kaname-senpai?" Said Ruka.
Ichijou stopped reading his book, Akatsuki, Aidou, Shiki, and Rima were all surprised to smell the Kaname's blood.
Back into the room of Zero and Kaname
Zero was drinking Kaname's blood.
'Victoria.' Thought Zero. 'Victoria.'
Victoria looked behind her from her post until Yuki showed up.
"Victoria, is something wrong?" Said Yuki.
"Onee-chan, I thought you were in our dorms." Said Victoria.
"I was, but I came to check up on you. Is everything alright?" Said Yuki.
"I feel like someone was calling my name." Said Victoria. Victoria looked up to see the red moon.
