I hope you guys like this chapter. I do not own Vampire Knight.
Chapter 23
Victoria was hesitating to knock on the door. Yuuki had her hand Victoria's shoulder. They both hear a gun starting to get ready, and aiming at the door. They both know that Zero was pointing the gun at door where they are. Victoria's and Yuuki's eyes were wide.
"Did you two think you could just waltz in here and talk to me?" Said Zero. Victoria put her hand onto her chest. "Turning humans into vampires...I thought that was all there was to it...Who could have guessed that both of you were also capable of turning yourselves into humans...The only presence I can sense behind that is that of two arrogant Pureblood who toys with human lives." Victoria looked down sadly.
"That's right, Zero." Said Victoria. Yuuki looked at Victoria surprised a little but able to understand.
"We're glad you understand." Said Yuuki.
"The Victoria and Yuuki you once knew no longer exists." Said Victoria. "And that's because..."
"the vampire Victoria and Yuuki has devoured them." They both said with a smile.
Victoria and Yuuki run out of the dorm, but Yuuki stopped looking at Aidou and Akatsuki.
"Here are some shoes, I had Ruka bring them..." Said Aidou. Victoria on the other hand run past Yuuki and the two boys completely ignore them.
"Victoria!" Said Yuuki. Yuuki looked at her sister running.
"Hey!" Said Aidou. Aidou ran after her.
"Oh, come on!" Said Aidou. Akatsuki looked at Yuuki.
"You definitely have one troublesome little princess..." Said Akatsuki. Yuuki chuckled a little remembering her tittle.
"I know." Said Yuuki.
Victoria was running in the forest completely ignoring Aidou calling her.
"Please wait, Cross Victoria..." Said Aidou. "I mean, Victoria-sama! Just how long do you plan on running barefooted?" Victoria stopped and look at her foot behind her, rising it up. Aidou was little shock.
"Huh?!" Said Aidou. "Don't tell me...you hurt yourself?!"
"Just now...I think I cut the back of my foot." Said Victoria. Aidou was really scared now.
"For a second, I thought Kaname-sama or Yuuki-sama was going to kill me." Said Aidou.
'Why would Onee-sama kill...?' Victoria thought. 'Oh, yeah. Onee-sama is really protective over me.' Aidou leaned on the ground and put the shoes he had on the ground as well. They had a Caribbean Blue rose in the middle.
"Whatever the case, just put these shoes on already..." Said Aidou. Victoria put her foot on the ground looking at Aidou on the floor. "I mean, please put on these shoes, Victoria-sama." Victoria was little shocked.
"I never imagined that the day would come when you would address me and my sister as "Victoria-sama" or "Yuki-sama"..."Said Victoria. "It's a bit creepy. I never been called that either." Aidou sweat dropped. "Can't you just call me and my sister "Cross Victoria" and "Cross Yuuki", or say "Hey, you two!" like usual...?"
"Please forgive my rudeness up till now..." Said Aidou. Aidou touched one of Victoria's foot. "Anyway, just put these on..." He slipped on one of the shoes. "I mean, please put these on. We'd better hurry back to your room or Kaname-sama will get worried. Akatsuki is already bring Yuuki-sama back to her room."
Aidou sees a tear falling down. Aidou looked at Victoria to see tears falling down her cheek. Victoria looks away from Aidou.
"You know...it's unheard of for a Pureblood to shed tears in front of others." Said Aidou.
"I think me and Onee-sama would have both said. Permitted to only cry in my heart, is like...a punishment."
Kaname was heading in a room with Kaoru behind him. He opens the door to see Ichiru and a coffin on the floor. Ichiru turns to Kaname.
"This room belongs to Ichijou-sama and Shiki-sama..." Said Ichiru. "I mean, this is Rido-sama's temporary room." Kaname closed the door behind him. "What brings you here?"
"Kiryuu Ichiru, would you please remove the lid to that coffin for me?" Said Kaname.
"Kaname!" Said Kaoru.
"You have no obligation to obey me." Said Kaname talking to Ichiru. "It does not concern me."
"Of course..." Said Ichiru kneeling down to the coffin.
"The two of you are quite similar after all, particularly in your show of obedience to others." Said Kaname.
"Kaname..." Said Kaoru. 'What the hell do you think you are doing?'
"Did I offend you?" Said Kaname. "This is, however, my first time bearing witness to a pair of living Hunter twins. It is quite rare, after all."
"The first and last time." Said Kaoru in a whisper. Kaname looked at Kaoru but returned to look at Ichiru. "The instant a Hunter becomes pregnant with twins, it is impossible for both fetuses to survive." Kaoru looked at Ichiru. "In order to survive, the fetuses will instinctively devour each other while inside the womb. Similar to a vampire's craving for blood..." Kaoru can see the sad look in his eyes. He let go of the last chain around the coffin.
"Shizuka-sama once said that it is a befitting curse to those who hunt." Said Ichiru. "It is believed to be a punishment against our predecessor for devouring an ancestor of the vampires."
"Despite its rarity," Said Kaname. "it is said the hunter that the most powerful hunter will be born from the fetus that completely devours the other half."
'Someone has been study.' Kaoru thought. His mind was suddenly on Victoria. 'Victoria...little princess.'
"It seems...your other half failed to devour you completely." Said Kaname. Kaoru was out of his thoughts listening to him.
'No, he loves Ichiru even now.' Kaoru thought. "He must have been softhearted from birth..." Ichiru pushed the coffin lid to reveal a man.
"There, I've removed the lid to the coffin." Said Ichiru. "On my own, I cannot stop you, but the blue hair boy can stop you." Kaoru only gave a sigh. "'Please do as you will. You wish to destroy Rido-sama, right?" Kaname walked to the coffin. "That's right. Of course you want to destroy him. You mutilated Rido-sama's body beyond the point of recognition."
"Ichiru..." Said Kaoru. Ichiru looked at boy. "That's enough. Even if he wanted to kill him. He can't...Plus it his not him who is destined to kill Rido." Ichiru was little confused. Kaname grabbed Ichiru's sword and flung into the air.
"Kaname!" Said Kaoru.
Zero was siting on his bed.
'All vampires are selfish.' Zero thought. 'As the daughters of the Kuran family, Victoria and Yuuki is, without a doubt, a Pureblood.'
"Why now..." Said Zero. 'The Victoria and Yuuki you once knew no longer exists. And that's because..." "Shut up." 'the vampire Victoria and Yuuki has devoured them.' Zero stand up angry.
"Get out of my sight!" Zero was suddenly in pain his crimson eyes glowing and the tattoo glowing as well.
Zero jumped from the window where Yagari and the headmaster was.
"Kiryuu-kun." Said the headmaster.
"Did you..." Said Zero showing them crimsons eyes. "come here to kill me?" The both of them were surprised. "Of course...I am..." Zero brought out Bloody Rose. "a vampire after all." Zero was in pain seeing flashing of Yuuki, Victoria, and Kaname. The tattoo was growing. "All right then..." Zero throw the gun at Yagari. "Do it!"
"Kiryuu-kun!" Said the headmaster. Zero was out of control and run up to Yagari.
Kaname had the sword in the air. Now going toward Rido hitting slashing Rido. Ichijou and Mimi walked in. Ichijou was carrying Shiki over his shoulder.
"Kaname!" Said Mimi, Ichijou, and Kaoru.
"What are you...?" Said Ichijou. Ichijou put Shiki on the bed and looked at Kaname. "Kaname..."
"Why are you so flustered, Ichijou?" Said Kaname. "It is all right." Mimi was putting her hands in a fist.
"It is not alright. Why did pierce hand on top Rido's chest with the sword?!" Said Mimi.
"I believe I should grant his wish and revive his body. Take it, Rido. The blood you desperately craved for...The thickest blood of the Kuran family." Said Kaname.
"Kaname!" Said Kaoru.
Victoria's POV
flashback
I was asleep but I could still remember seeing my mother putting the spell on me. I was dreaming about something from before Mom died. Father was battling other vampires. Mother was on the terrace watching Father.
"Juri," Said Father. "we have lived far longer than anyone could have hoped for. It has been almost three thousand years since your birth...and we have been together since."
'Three thousand years.' I thought.
"I was truly happy." Said father. "And after pondering it for such a long time, were soon blessed with three lovable children. Those three are the culmination of our love. I believe the time has come..." Father was looking at Mother. "I think I can finally agree to what you have always wanted to do for Victoria and Yuuki...Let's give those children...a different future with our powers." Mother smiled at father.
"Yes, Haruka." Said Mother. "Then...I shall go on ahead, all right? Kaname might get angry with me otherwise."
"I wonder about that..." Said Father. "Just like me, he is not very honest with his own feelings." Mother turned around to walk inside to us. While father was fighting off the vampires.
I woke up my eyes to see Mimi in front of me, carrying me bridle style.
"Mi..mi..." I said a little a weak. I could still smell blood coming from outside. We were in the hallway.
"I see the spell is still trying to work. It takes time, little princess." Said Mimi. I nodded my head.
"I want to say goodbye to Father and Kaname-onii-sama." I said. Mimi carried me to the door. I see Kaname running outside. I asked Mimi to put me down.
"You mustn't father." Said Kaname. "That is a Hunter's sword!"
"Hunter's sword?" I said. 'Father is going to die. Kaname was shielding father.
"Father! Kaname!" I said as loud as I can. Father and Kaname turned to look at me.
"Victoria!" Said Father.
"Oh, is this the little princess." Said Rido.
"Who are you?!" I said. Rido only laugh making me angry. I used one my powers to to move the trees to slice him through. I run up to my father and Kaname. I see the blood on Fahter's shirt.
"Fat..her..." I said scared. Kaname was such stuff didn't make any sense to me. I started to feel dizzy little bit. 'The spell it's working, but I have to say good-bye.' Father suddenly hugged me and Kaname.
"Victoria. Kaname," Said Father. Me and Kaname turned to our father. "you two are the one who must step aside."
"Fat...her..." I looked at Father putting my small hand on his cheek.
"Please do not humiliate your father, by forcing him to hid behind his son and daughter." Said father.
"You are wrong...Father..." Said Kaname. "Haruka...I am..."
'Why did Onii-sama call Father by his name?' I thought. I suddenly see glowing balls of light shooting out of Fathers body.
"Father!" I said.
"It is alright. I am well aware of everything." Said Father.
"The sword pierced you heart?!" Said Kaname.
"No matter what," Said Father. "nothing will change the fact that we will always love you as our son."
I suddenly felt a headache. I leaned against Father. Kaname and Father looked at me worried. "I just wanted to say good-bye." I said. Father and Kaname looked me confused. I kissed father on the cheek. The headache got more intense. "I am going to a different world forgetting everything." Father and Kaname were a little surprised.
"I didn't know Juri was going to do that!" Said Father. Mimi came over to me seeing I am I in pain. I looked at over Kaname.
"No!" Said Kaname. "You are not going-" Kaname was cut off by Victoria.
"Thank you for everything, Kaname-onii-sama, Father." I said crying and kissing their cheek. Father and Kaname hugged me very tightly. Mimi got a hold of me releasing me from Father's and Kaname's grasp. Mimi opened a portal and looked at Rido.
"I will never let you have this child." Mimi said turning back to Father and Kaname. "I will be with her as a star. Right now I am using my powers to help Yuuki-sama, so I will be weak going to the other world. Kaoru has also turned into a star I presume." Father nodded. "When she wishes she wants to come back here. She become the same age she was when she left." Mimi turned to the portal. I looked at Father and Kaname seeing their worried for me.
"I love...you." That was the last thing I said to them before I finally fell asleep and forgotten everything.
Nobody's POV
Ichijou was still looking at Kaname. "Kaname," Ichijou said. "why can you not kill him?" Kaoru only looked away when he said that. "But that does not matter..." Ichijou moved to Kaname holding his hand, where the sword was, and on his shoulder. "I do not care for this man's life. But Kaname, just why are you...why must you Purebloods continually perform such reckless acts?!"
'Ichijou...' Mimi thought. Kaname removed his hand from the sword. Ichijou can see blood on his hand in the air.
"Fine." Said Ichijou. "I never wanted you to consider my feelings in the first place." Kaname was licking his bloody hand. "But your recent actions truly sadden me."
"Since I have injected my blood directly into his body," Said Kaname. He should no longer need his current vessel by tomorrow night." Kaname's blood was bubbling onto Rido's body. "Even after being rent into pieces, Purebloods can still reassemble their bodies. Quite a repulsive ability, would you not say? However, if you were to crush their head, their heart or sever their neck, they would instantly turn to dust." Kaname removed the sword and give it to Ichiru.
Mimi looked at Kaoru. Kaoru nodded and they were heading to the door, until Kaname spoke.
"Where are you two going?" Said Kaname. Mimi's and Kaoru's eyes turned purple looking at them. Ichiru and Ichijou were surprised but not Kaname.
"We are going to our master, Victoria-sama." They both said and walked away but stopped again.
"Wait!" Said Ichiru. "You said before he can't kill him why is that?" Kaoru looked at Kaname.
"Do you want to answer that one Kaname?" Said Kaoru. Ichijou and Ichiru looked at Kaname.
"Because I am...the ancestor of the Kuran family." Said Kaname. "And because...Rido is my master since he awoke me from my coffin." With that answer Mimi and Kaoru finally walked away this time without stopping.
At the Ichijou mansion.
Ichiru was talking to the Chairman of the Hunter Association about Rido but now they were talking about the Zero. Ichiru reached into his pocket and grabbed a bottle of blood. The chairman said that Zero was drinking from the young twin princess blood, and that he was the one to put Zero on the list.
Victoria was siting down leaning on the tree while Aidou was looking at the moon. So many things were in her head.
"This is quite a long night..." Said Aidou. Mimi suddenly showed Victoria something her mind.
'Mimi please...I already have to much on my mind.' Victoria thought. But Mimi didn't listen to her she kept showing her Zero and Yagari throwing him into a dark room.
"If I wanted to hunt you, I would have done so a long time ago." Said Yagari.
'Why...' Victoria thought.
"The Chairman and the Senate are conspiring together in the shadows." Said Yagari. "Whether it's the Hunter Association or this school, this world is seriously one rotten place. I'll keep on eliminating vampires from this point on. Except for you though. If you have time to wallow in despair, then take time to clear your head and think of a way through all this. I will only say this: " Yagari put Bloody Rose on the floor. "You are not a vampire; you are a vampire hunter." Yagari walked out of the room to let Zero think.
'The Victoria and Yuuki you once knew no longer exists. The vampire Victoria and Yuuki has devoured them.'Zero's eyes were turning crimson red.
'Zero...' Victoria thought. Zero started to remember the smile on Victoria's face.
'Zero!'
"Shut up." Said Zero. 'I can still feel two similar pulses...I can still feel their existence in every corner of my body...resonating within...which is causing me to lose my sanity...'
'Zero...' Victoria thought. 'I'm sorry, and... goodbye.'
I know this is short but I didn't have any other ideas for this one.
Please review.
