Chapter Six: Fighting, Dying And Screaming
For a moment no one spoke, they all stared in horror at the mess in front of them. Ruka stayed for a moment on top of Aidou, staring down at him with blood dribbling down her lips, sliding down her chin and onto the blonde's soft, pale, horror filled face. He seemed to have snapped out of the trance he was in and stared up at the body hanging over him. Ryou laughed, delighted by this while the others stared, unable to believe that what had happened, had really happened.
"Ruka" Yuki gasped, tears in her eyes, she was the first of the group to speak.
Most of the other vampires had run away from the caos, none of them where truly loyal at all. Ichio was one of the first to leave when he saw Kaname had gotten his senses back. Tatsua was one of the only people to stay, mostly they were in shock but he knew that he could not leave his uncle to deal with this alone, also this was the most excitement he ever had.
"Aww poor idiotic girl" Ryou said as he pulled Aidou, up and away from Ruka, her body was fighting but it was fighting a lost cause... and her skin slowy turned to ashes*.
"No... I... Wouldn't... Couldn't...No... Please no" Aidou began to cry, hard sobs escaping his lips and tears like rain falling down his cheeks, washing some of the blood away from his cheeks. He looked down at his now, normal hand, now also covered in ruby Ruka blood.
"Yes Hanabusa.." Ryou chuckled "You murdered her... In cold blood"
Aidou gasped and stared down at the ashes that replaced her body, it was slowly being blown away by the wind. Kaname stepped forward and got down onto his knees, he stared down at the dust, the only remains of their dear friend Ruka. He looked up at Aidou and Ryou and scowled darkly, he was glaring at Ryou but Aidou mistakenly took it for a glare at him and whimpered, shrinking back.
"Aww now stop that, you're scaring Hanabusa" Ryou smirked
"Let... My friend... Go... Right now... Or else..." Kaname snarled
"Or else what? Hmmm? In case you haven't realize... You do not scare me at all..." he brought his fingers to his lips and whistled loudly, a small black hound walked in and over to them "Take care of them for me, will you" he said to the hound
The hound howled in reply and looked back at the Night Class. They all got ready for a fight but it never came, yet they never took their eyes off the hound, this was exactly what Ryou wanted and he hurried, pulling Aidou along, and dragging him from the room. Aidou didn't fight or shout, the shock of killing Ruka still fresh in his mind.
"Hanabusa!" Rima shouted as she spotted the two go. The others looked around and this was when the hound pounced, jumping and landing on top of Kaname. Rima, Senri and Ichijo all hurried to help him while Yuki stared in shock. Kain spun and, apologising to Kaname, ran to find Aidou, with Zero right behind him.
They didn't run for very long before Vanessa, jumped out between Ryou and the two vampires, stopping them in their path. She grinned when she saw them come to a sudden stop and stare at her. Kain in shock, and Zero just so he wouldn't run into Kain.
"Hello Akatsuki, miss me" Vanessa giggled
"What are you doing here?" Kain gawped
"I work for Lord Ryou, now and always" she growled
"I just want to get my cousin back" Kain snarled
"Well he belongs to Ryou. He is Ryou's and no matter what, he will always belong to Ryou" Vanessa cackled
Kain growled and ran to tackle her while Zero got his breath back. Vanessa jumped up giggling madly and jumped back, still blocking their way. Kain growled darkly and shot a flame of fire towards her. Once again she jumped and dodged the attack, but this time she also leaped forward and kicked Kain hard in the face, he grunted with pain and fell back.
Zero however, growled, and hurried past Kain, ducking under Vanessa and running after Ryou and Aidou. While he did, Vanessa spun and went to chase after him but Kain grabbed her long red hair and pulled viciously. She screamed and struggled but Kain had a good grip on her hair.
"Let go!" she screamed
"Never" Kain snarled
"I cannot let you stop them, Aidou BELONGS to the Lord!" Vanessa shouted loudly
Kain growled angrily and threw her behind him. Vanessa flipped and landed lightly on her feet without any trouble, she looked up and laughed, smirking at him. Kain waved his hands and his fists caught on fire, he ran at Vanessa, meaning to burn every part of her skinny little body. However Vanessa was just too quick, she jumped and dodged all his attacks, laughing loudly.
"Hold still!" Kain snarled
"Never" she laughed
Kain ran after her angrily. He jumped and went to punch her on the face but she stepped to the side and he missed. Angrily, he chased after her, mad as hell, unable to control his temper any more. Vanessa found this funny and just jumped, dodging from side to side, giggling like mad.
"Vanessa..." Kain said "If you believe in Ryou so much, then why don't you run and be with him?"
"Because I know where he will be, when I have gotten rid of you, he will thank me and then I will be rewarded and everyone will be jealous of me" she grinned cat like
"Is that what you really think will happen?" Kain smirked
"Yes!" she hesitated and frowned "Why? What do you mean?"
"Well. We all know about how Ryou wants Aidou. Next to my cousin you are nothing to Ryou. What makes you think he won't change places just to protect Aidou and even if you do get back then what makes you think he will reward you for getting ride of me, especially when Aidou will resent Ryou for killing me off..." Kain shrugged
Vanessa stared at Kain in shock. Kain just tried to act natural but apparently, it wasn't natural enough and Vanessa screamed loudly, jumping up and attacking Kain. She was a lot faster than he was and a little more powerful. She managed to get a very painful kick in his stomach and then another painfuly one on his jaw, knocking his head so far back that he felt like it was going to snap right off and fly across the room.
As Kain fell back he hit the ground hard and rolled a little. Then he got to his hands and knees just to have Vanessa jump on his spine and knock him back down onto the floor again. Kain let out a loud gasp of pain and shrugged but she began to jump up and down on his back, sending him further and further into the ground. It was very painful and Kain would give anything just to go unconscious while she did this, but he ignored the feeling and fought to stay awake, he fought to keep his eyes open and to roll onto his back, bringing his hands up and sending two large cannonball like flames up at Vanessa, it hit her hard and she was knocked back, she was sent back and smashed in the nearest wall.
Still in pain, Kain stood up and stumbled over to her, he grabbed her by her tight little top and threw her to the ground hard, he knelt beside her and began to punch her repeatedly in the face. He grunted in anger as he did so.
Then, still panting rather hard, he stood and glared down at the girl under him. She gasped up at him and struggled to stand but failed. Kain was breathing hard and his heart was pounding against his chest, he was shaking with bone pain and adrenaline. He pointed a finger at her and snarled, just quiet enough for her to hear.
"I am leaving you alive... But if I catch Ryou and Hanabusa... And if Hanabusa is dead... Or if I don't catch them because you stalled me... Then I promise to come back and kill you. Even if I have to hunt you down because you have run off" he knelt down, his face right in front of hers and spat "I, will. Kill. You"
And with that, he stood up. Leaving a panting, sobbing and choking Vanessa sprawled on the ground, unable to even lift her own head up from the dried mud and rubble around her.
Kain took a breath before he remembered something "Oh yeah" he leaned down and bit into Vanessa's neck. He drank her blood for a little bit before standing again, he had his full strength back once more. He glared down at her "You taste as vile as when we were younger" he growled
"And you... You have... changed Kain... You are no... longer the sweet... boy I fell for... You... are a monster" she spat, Kain blinked in shock "The... younger you... would have never... done this... or said... what you just did... How can you be sure... You will be able to protect Aidou?... In fact... How do you know... You will not get angry at him... And kill him?"
"Shut up!" Kain snapped
"Aww... Did I hit... A nerve?" Vanessa teased
"I said shut up!" Kain's hand shot down and he grabbed her throat, in seconds he squeezed and blood exploded from her, it soaked both her dead body and Kain's clothes. His hand as ruby red as her hair. Second after that, her body shrivelled into dust and the wind blew it away.
Kain stayed where he was kneeling, panting and gasping, staring down at the bloody mess on the ground. He was shaking horrible and could see his hand pale under the liquid of blood. Gulping quietly Kain stood and wiped his hand down, he shut his eyes tightly and grit his teeth. He couldn't let her get to him. Not now, he had to save Aidou. He could worry about her words after his cousin was safe in his arms again.
'Or his throat, not so safely in your hands'
Kain's eyes widened and he shook his head quietly, he didn't know what that voice was, or what it meant, all he knew was that he had a job to do. So he looked around and ran in the direction of where he had seen Zero and Ryou run off to.
*VK*VK*VK*
Zero had lost Ryou. He had been chased him along through the trees when he ran into the town. They must have been running for a long time to reach a town. Either way, Aidou was still lost, he ignored all of Zero's shouts and ignored all of his cries. Ryou found them funny and laughed, he did not bother with all the people around him and instead just pushed passed them, shoving some into others. He pushed one little girl in front of a car.
That was what got Zero to lose them, he had dived to the side and ran across the road and grabbed the girl, pulling her out of the way and landing gently on the path. Then he was surrounded by a bunch of people, desperate to ask how he saved her, or thank him for saving her.
He took a while but soon he managed to push passed them and run back down the street again. For a while he was able to find out where they were going because people where staring off after them but soon the people where no longer staring and instead they were staring at Zero.
It was no help and soon he began to wander around, looking for them, no idea if they were even still in the town or if Ryou had taken Aidou and moved on straight away. The more he walked, the more annoyed he got, he also got more and more nervous, he could not lose them, if he did, they may never find Aidou again!
Angry and annoyed, Zero stopped and took a breath to calm himself down. Then he looked around, the sun was beginning to rise, where ever Ryou was, or where ever he was heading, that place would need to be shady. Thinking quickly Zero made his way to the nearest people, a calm looking woman with an older man pushing a baby along. They had been watching him suspiciously for a while.
"Excuse me" he said as politly as he could manage "Have you seen a large man carrying a blonde small boy? Both wearing formal clothes? They stand out a little here?"
"Maybe we have sonny" the man growled "Maybe we aint"
"Please" Zero snapped "That man has kidnapped my friend" Although Aidou wasnt his friend, he just wanted to find them "I need to know if you saw them!"
The woman stared at him for a moment of silence, before she whispered in a low and sweet voice "They were heading towards the childrens school" she pointed to one of the larger buildings "Over there"
"Thank you!" Zero bowed and hurried off, maybe he could catch them if he ran at full speed and did not stop, he would be tired but maybe if he stalled them then he could regain his strength.
His feet hit the pavement hard and his breath was rough in his throat. He was sweating badly and had to blink alot to keep it from falling into his eyes and blinding him. He brushed his hair from his face but apart from that he only moved as fast as his feet would allow him. Soon he was at the school, he knew they were still there because he could hear children screaming.
As he ran in he pushed passed children and teachers and made his way, he stepped in the main hall where they were all fleeing from and saw Ryou standing up on the stage in front of everyone. His hands and mouth was covered in blood, there were a few younge kids and one teacher at his feet, all dead. Aidou was on his knees behind Ryou, he was still in shock, staring off into outter space of the caos.
"Ryou!" Zero shouted
Ryou looked up and smirked "Zero... I was just dropping by for a snack, you want some?" Ryou asked
"Never you sick monster" Zero growled stepping forward "Try and control me then Ryou"
"I would but I need to be touching you, and the last stupid thing I am going to do is get too close" Ryou smirked
"Coward!" Zero spat
"Oh no, smart" Ryou chuckled, he picked Aidou up and pulled him along to the nearest window "I wish to keep Aidou and to do that I must stay alive. I will be seeing you, Zero"
With that he jumped out the window and began to climb the wall, holding on to Aidou at the same time. Zero shouted and ran after him, he slipped out a window and watched him for a second as he climbed higher and higher before he reached the roof. Zero was not about to let him get away so easily. Leaping up, he grabbed onto the wall and climbed up, grabbed the wall and lifting his weight, he scratched himself a lot but ignored the pain and blood and continued to chase him.
Soon they were at the top of the building, Zero was breathing hard and shaking. Ryou was as fit as ever, he was still holding onto Aidou, who was now just about coming to his senses and looking around, confused and lost. For a moment neither said anything and just stared at one another, then Ryou brushed himself down, smirking.
"You followed me all this way have you Zero" he noted
"I am a Hunter and I will kill you" Zero growled
"Does that mean you do not care for Hanabusa?" Ryou gave a fake gasped
"Not really" Zero answered honestly
"Well then... lets fight"
Ryou set Aidou down on his feet, the blonde vampire was still in a daze. Ryou took only a step forward when Zero's feet where covered in ice, and his shoulders caught fire.
"What you may not realize, is when I drink a vampires blood, I obtain their powers, and I have drunk a lot of peoples blood" Ryou chuckled
"That doesnt matter to me" Zero growled
"It shall when you are on your death bed" Ryou snickered
"I am still alive and kicking now, so come on!" Zero shouted, he completly ignoring the fire and ice
Ryou gave a sickly grin before stepping forward and raising a hand. Suddenly Zero's insides were burning. He gasped and fell to his knees, he coughed and choked up some blood. He wanted to lean right over and stay directly on his hands and knees but the ice prevented him from doing so. Ryou chuckled and watched him amused while Aidou's eyes widened in shock.
Zero glared up at him and slowly his hand reached for his pocket, he felt around for a moment before he got a hold of the handle of his bloody rose gun. He began to pull it out when he felt a stabbing pain in his lower side. Ryou had sent a large ice stick right through his side. He chuckled and grinned as Zero's eyes widened with fear and confusing.
"Good bye" Ryou said
He rose his hand to deliever the final blow and kill the Vampire Hunter off when suddenly there was numb pain in his right leg. As he looked down at himself he saw a deep gun shot wound, it had, what looked like, purple electricity fuming around it. Frowning he looked up again and saw Zero.
The boy was holding his gun, and although it wasnt raised very high, it was high enough to hit Ryou. Zero gave a bloody smirk as Ryou began to lose his balance on that leg. He placed the gun on the floor so that he could give a sarcastic wave and spat some blood at Ryou's feet.
"You little-" Ryou began when his leg completely failed him and he fell back, toppling from the building.
Although he was falling he was glad. The shot would not kill him and neither would the fall. He would hit the ground but then, quickly fix his leg and go back after Zero who was too injured to move and save Aidou. But then, before he could hit the ground he saw him.
Kain, he was badly hurt, breathing hard, choking on his own blood and limping badly but he was standing under Ryou, proudly and angrily. Ryou had a blank face for that moment, he hesitated, and it was that hesitation that was the end of him. For on that hesitation, Kain had risen his hands and sent his largest fire shots at Ryou yet.
They were like blazing tornados shooting from his palms. It covered Ryou in an everlasting blaze, burning his skin. If he wasn't hurt he would have been fine, but the damadge allowed the fire to burn him. As his clothes and skin caught fire Ryou screamed, this time in pain.
As he landed on the ground with a thud, Kain ran over, he was not going to waist any time, he was going to kill Ryou! He rose his hands and, ignoring the fire, shot his hand forward and diging it through Ryou's skin and grabbing his cold heart. Staring at him with the darkest eyes Kain had ever placed on his face, Kain ripped the swollen organ from his stomach.
Meanwhile, Zero had been slowly making his way over to Aidou, who was in a state of shock and unable to move but stare at the blood that still coated his hand. He was in a pure state of shock, so many events had happened in such a short amount of time for him that it was hard to remain calm. Zero had managed to break the ice around his shoulders with the end of his gun and then use the ice to put out any flames that lay on his shoulders.
"Hanabusa" Zero growled, when he did not respond he got down on his knees and grabbed his shoulders "Aidou you stupid blonde twit!"
"Stay away from me" Aidou whispered
"Shut up and stop being stupid!" he snapped "Come on I have to finish that dick off before he gets away!"
Suddenly Aidou was standing "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" he screamed and shoved Zero hard, unfortunatly he shoved him too hard and fell back from the roof. He lost his balance and slipped down, rolling just managing to grab onto the sides. He gasped and looked down just in time to see Kain stabbing a burning body. He frowned and then his eyes widened in shock as he realize it was Ryou...
Zero shouted when he was pushed but thanks to the ice, instead of falling off, he tripped on that and then managed to grab on again. Once he had pulled himself up he stood and looked around, frowning slight. In the distant he could see people making their way towards them. He hoped it was the rest of the night class.
As Kain stood and withdrew his hand, the fire burned out and was replaced by a small pile of steaming grey dust. Breathing heavily he looked up in time to see Aidou's wide blue eyes staring down at him. Both stood (or in Aidou's case, hung) frozen for a second. Then as his fingers began to slip, Aidou yelled and accidentally let go. The drop wouldn't have killed him, it wouldn't even have hurt him unless he got a bruise on his wrist but never the less, Kain raced forward and caught him in his arms.
Then Aidou stared at his cousin and felt tears well up in his eyes, as much as he tried to pull them back they refused and begun to drop slowly, one by one, down his cheeks. He sniffed noisily and began to cry harder, soon he was making heart wretching sobs and wrapping his arms around Kain's neck, burrying his face and howling as loudly as he could.
When the others showed up seconds later, he was still sobbing and clinging to Kain. Zero jumped down and Yuki ran to hug him. After a moment of jealousy, Kaname stepped forward and looked down at Aidou. He sighed.
"We must get back... Yuki, get on my back and I will carry you. Kain, carry Hanabusa, he is in no position to run"
No one argued with him, and soon they were off, making their way down the dark dirt road... heading for home.
*VK*VK*VK*
"You are certain Ryou is dead?" Kaname asked
"I am" Kain nodded
They were in the medical room. Aidou lay in the bed, sitting up and staring off out the window into space, completely lost in his own nightmarish thoughts to take in what was happening around him. Kain was sitting on the bed beside him, an arm over his shoulders while his other hand gripped Aidou's tightly for reasurance. Kaname was opposite them, leaning against the wall and watching the two cousins. Rima and Shiki were sitting on the bed beside Aidou's, neither saying nothing, holding each others hand tightly. Ichijo was off making sure Yuki was OK, even if she was with Zero. Kaname had wanted to be sure she would not be afraid but she seemed fine, just a little shaken, which was understandable. Seiren was talking to the headmaster, she had been told exactly what to say and if he had any more questions Kaname would be visiting after he made sure Aidou was OK.
"Hanabusa" Kaname said but the blonde was too lost to hear "Aidou" he called and he jumped.
As he looked around at Kaname and opened his mouth to speak. His voice was small rough and nervous, understandable since he hadn't stopped crying since they had made the long trip home. "Yes Kaname?"
"How are you feeling?" his voice was soft and tender
Aidou stared at him for a moment before looking out of the window again. He just couldn't bring himself to speak in case he burst into tears again. He was tired of looking like a baby.
"Rest here for a few days" Kaname said "When you feel ready you can come back into the moon dorm, someone will be with you at all time"
Aidou nodded and Kain tightened his grip around him protectivly.
"It will be light soon... Everyone should head to bed now" Kaname said
"Wait" Aidou croaked, everyone looked around shocked, there were tears, glistening down his cheeks "...What about the Souen's?"
"..." Everyone hesitated before Kain asked "What about them?"
"Who is going to tell them?" he asked
"...I will" Kain offered
"No... It's just... I want to" Aidou said
"Are you sure about that?" Rima said "We wont mind you know"
"Yeah but... I just... I..." he sniffed and shivered "I have to... Please?"
"Of course" Kaname said standing up straight "But for now rest, Kain will stay with you, come on Rima, Shiki, lets go"
Kaname walked over and gently ran a hand through Aidou's hair, bringing it down and stroking his cheek, then standing and slowly walking away. Rima gave her best simpathy smile and nodded while Shiki just gave a small nodd. Then, one by one, they walked through the door and shut them.
There was silence between the cousins before Kain pushed Aidou down so he was on his back, then pulling the blanket up and over his shoulders, tucked gently under his chin. He smiled as best he could and leaned down, kissing his forehead, then he sat back and began to stroke Aidou's blonde hair, hoping he would fall into a numb sleep without nightmares.
"Akatsuki... Why dont you hate me?" Aidou choked out
"Thats a bit of a weird question..." Kain mumbled quietly
"You loved Ruka... Why dont you hate me?" Aidou began to cry again
"Please dont cry Hanabusa" Kain begged "The reason I do not hate you is because I care too much about you. You are family and everyone knows it was not your fault that Ruka died"
"Akatsuki..." he began to sob aloud
When he had calmed down once again, Kain sat beside him and watched him sleep. He only looked away for a second when he went to get Aidou something to drink. Aidou then rolled onto his side and stared out the window. He was looking around and exploring around the trees and bushes, around the plants and birds that flew down and landed to peck the ground. As he was looking around he stopped when he saw something, it looked like a small glow. Then he realized what it was... A pair of eyes... Yellow... With red pupils.
And the screams started again
Just for the part about her body dying and how it turned to ashes. I am not sure if that is how they die but I have always seen it as that so sorry if I am wrong, feel free to correct me.
THE END!
THERE IS A LAST STORY CONNECTED TO THIS!
