Chapter 19 - The death of Shizuka Hiou

"Let go, Yuuki!" Zero said, his voice tight as his eyes keep staring after the direction where he had seen his twin brother, Ichiru heading for. He knew where his twin were heading towards, for he had seen how frantic Ichiru had been after his commenting on the sudden thickening of the scent of blood in the air. Ichiru had muttered that woman name aloud in a near panic state before dropping their fight, and departed from the room in a hurry.

"No! Zero, I won't let you go after you tell me just what do you intend to do after killing Shizuka Hiou. "

"..." Zero was silent, for he had no answer to the question himself. Months ago, he might respond that he had every intention to die together with Shizuka. Now, that option was no longer available for he had the twins to consider. Therefore, he did not respond to Yuuki's query. Instead, he pulled himself forcibly away from Yuuki and departed after Ichiru, allowing his senses to lead him to where Shizuka was.

Ichiru, on the other hand, froze completely upon the sight of a bleeding Shizuka left alone and abandoned in the room to die. He had hurried his way over as fast as his legs could carry him, but still he was too late. Judging from the situation, his logic had already clued him in on the fact that Shizuka Hiou was already too far gone to be saved. Still, despite what his mind told him he felt himself having trouble believing it.

Rather, he does not wants to believe the fact that the pureblood was dying. After all, Shizuka was powerful and Ichiru truly believed that if the said female had not been shot in the chest twice by his elder twin brother's anti-vampire weapons, the former would not have been defeated this easily. With that notion in mind, Ichiru's dislike for his twin brother went up by another notch.

"Shizuka-sama!" Ichiru rushed over to the fallen figure, as he cradled the bleeding pureblood to his chest while he tried his best to hold back the tears that were welling up in his eyes.

Upon the sound of Ichiru's panicking voice, Shizuka forced open her heavy eyelids as she regarded the new-comer with an unreadable gaze in them.

"Looks like its' really hard for a pureblood to die easily and promptly even after being subjected to a fatal injury ... " Shizuka mumbled aloud, in a mocking manner.

"No ... Shizuka-sama, I'll give you my blood. You can take them all if you want, but please don't die on me ... " Ichiru started, his efforts at holding back his tears failed utterly as he could felt them running down his cheeks while he conversed with the dying pureblood now.

Shizuka allowed a bitter-sweet smile to tug at her lips as she reached a hand up to wipe the tears off Ichiru's face and said.

"No ... Ichiru, I would not do that to you. I didn't change you then, and I won't be making you a vampire now as well despite the fact that I'm dying. Besides, you and I both know that its' already too late ... I'm too far gone to be saved. "

Silence met her ears, saved for the occasional sniffling sound coming from the weeping teen that held her close and tenderly with care. No wonder people always says that one would always see visions from the past flashing in their minds, when they are on the verge of dying. For this is exactly what Shizuka was experiencing now. Looking up at Ichiru, she found herself taking a trip down her own memory lane.

"Silly boy, why are you crying so hard for me? I'm not worth it, you know? I know you like me a lot ... but still, I'm not someone that you should be shedding your tears for. One of these days, you are going to find that person whom is worth your tears and affection."

"But Shizuka-sama ... what should I do now? " Ichiru asked, his voice sounded choked as he struggled to keep his emotions in check.

"That, is something which you would have to decide for yourself. For it is your life and your future, I cannot tell you what to do about them ... You have to make the decision yourself. Do you understand, Ichiru? "

"Yes, Shizuka-sama."

"Good ... Now, devour me. " Shizuka then ordered, her tone firm and leave no room for any objections to be raised. Ignoring the sudden look of alarm on Ichiru's features, Shizuka just stared up into those lilac eyes that reminded so much of her own with intent and said. "Go on, do not let my blood flow in vain. I've given you my blood before, and I'm giving it again to you now. "

She had left a bottle of her blood with Kaname Kuran, she trusted the former to give it to Zero without fail. After all, if her gut feeling and conjecture was right then the young lord of the Kuran clan must have been in love with Zero without his own realization. With everyone thinking that Zero would descend into 'Level E' without drinking her blood, she was certain that Kaname Kuran would give Zero her blood if the former had wanted to save the "ex-human" from the fate of falling into insanity.

A smirk tugged at the corner of her lips, as she thought of the possible reactions that the majority members of the night-class would have once the change in Zero was completed after the ingestion of her blood. However, they would not know that it was her blood that brought on the change though. She highly doubted that anyone would knew of the actual reason behind Zero's sudden change in status, rising from the the rank of an 'ex-human' to a noble ranked vampire, all within forty-eight hours after taking in her blood.

Spurred by curiosity, she knew that quite a number of the night-class members including the pureblood might start to research on the issue but Shizuka was certain that the actual reason behind Zero's change and transformation would never be found for Zero's maternal side of the family - the 'Fujiwara' have secrets unknown to many but themselves. Therefore, it would eventually led everydown to believe that whatever changes which Zero was subjected upon must have something to do with the 'Fujiwara' instead of her blood. After all, nobody knew about her giving Zero her blood with the sole exception of Kaname Kuran whom had been her killer, in this case.

"Shizuka-sama, your wish is my command. " Ichiru responded, somewhat agitatedly as he started to drink the essence of Shizuka's blood in big gulps while Shizuka smiled in content as she slips into the blissful state of oblivion while her body turned into nothing but sheer dust.

---

It was at this particular point of time did Zero burst into the room, but what he witnessed had him frozen to the spot. Ichiru was drinking from Shizuka hungrily, before the pureblood female turned into dust. Yet, despite the clarity of the situation, he still felt himself inclined to ask.

"Ichiru, what are you doing? "

Ichiru, instead of responding to his query merely turned sorrowful eyes upon him with Shizuka's blood still staining the side of his lips and said. "Zero, it's your fault that she's dead ... You and the rest of this academy are to be blamed for her death!"

With that, Ichiru pushed open the window of the room and exited from it without another glance towards Zero. Meanwhile, Akatsuki whom had just arrived at the site was completely stunned by what he had found. The blood that splattered and remained on the ground, together with the sand and dust that lingered behind had given him an insight of just what exactly had taken place within the room, earlier on. Still, by the time he arrived there was no one else saved for the frozen figure of Zero Kiryuu whom had a strong grip on the 'Bloody Rose'.

Although, he highly doubted that it was Zero whom killed Shizuka but nonetheless when he failed to receive any response from the former. He would have no choice but to report Kiryuu as one of the main suspect to the death of Shizuka Hiou, after all in terms of motives, Zero Kiryuu did qualified. Since the former did always wanted to kill Shizuka Hiou as a form of revenge against what the fellow pureblood had done to his own family.

On the other hand, Kaname Kuran was staring at the bottle of blood given to him by Shizuka in silent contemplation. Despite his being the winner in his game with Shizuka Hiou, he still did not understand the former's actions towards the end of their 'game'. Why did Shizuka have a ready bottled blood on herself that's meant for Zero's consumption? Didn't the former bite Zero and hoped that the silver-haired hunter would continue to hunt for her life, while she remained hidden in the dark laughing about the situation when Zero ended up falling into insanity? Wasn't that her ultimate aim and the main reason for biting Zero?

If so, then why on earth does she felt inclined to hand him a bottle of her blood and specifically told him that the blood given was meant for Zero's ingestion? Honestly, Kaname was feeling rather lost as he stared at the bottle of blood that was now sitting on his working desk with an unreadable gaze. Dozen of questions were circling around in his mind, but the one question which stood out among the rest - 'Should he give Zero the blood or not?'

First and foremost, if he were to go to the silver-haired hunter with Shizuka's blood; would the former want to ingest it in the first place? Secondly, by coming out to reveal that the blood which he was giving to Zero belongs to Shizuka Hiou ... wasn't that equivalent to his admitting of being Shizuka's killer? How would Zero think of him then? Would the silver-haired hunter think him cold-blooded? Would Zero hate him for killing Shizuka when the idea of killing Shizuka thus revenging his family had been the silver-haired guardian's utmost motive in life since the former was bitten by the female pureblood? Either way, that was what bothered him most at this point of time.

In the meantime, Aidou Hanabusa was exceptionally quiet for that night. Ever since the conversation with his beloved pureblood leader following his chance encounter of the former killing Shizuka Hiou, he had been behaving in this particular manner. Somehow, the idea of staying within the Moon Dormitory does not appeals to him at the point of time and neither does heading back to the dance party and tried to joke around with the day-class females sound appealing to him. Therefore, he found himself wandering out into the woods instead. After all, he need some time to himself so as to sort out his thoughts on the whole situation.

However, it seems like the woods was not exactly abandoned like what he had thought. Standing under one of the shady trees conversing with someone through a phone was the unmistakable figure of Wakaba Sayori. The idea of lecturing the human girl for wandering out alone unescorted was on the verge of tumbling out from his mouth, when he stopped himself in time. For he knew, the girl would only find his constant reminder annoying and would then proceeded on to remind him of her own capabilities to take care of herself.

"You know, if you continue to stand there ... you will find yourself getting a sun-burn in approximately three hours time. " Wakaba Sayori piped up from her position under the shady tree, after ending the phone call.

Aidou blinked, before throwing back a retort of his own. "What about you? Why are you still out here? Speaking of which, are you concern about the possibility of me suffering from a sun-burn when its' time for dawn? "

"No, I wasn't getting myself concern over your affairs. I was merely pointing out a fact, and that I do not wish to have my female classmates weeping over the idea of their 'Idol-Senpai' getting a sun-burn as though its' the end of the world. As for my reason of staying up late and loitering out here, I honestly doubt that I need to justify them with you. " Sayori responded, nonchalantly.

Silence stung the air, for Aidou was not in the mood to involve himself in a verbal argument with the human friend of the female guardian. Sayori, on the other hand, was never one that enjoyed the idea of arguing with another and thus was welcoming the tranquil silence that settles between them, nicely and without awkwardness.

"Shizuka's dead ... " Aidou started, not knowing why he was telling this to Wakaba Sayori, of all possible candidates but he felt the need to get something off his chest. The exact knowledge of whom killed the female pureblood was too much of a heavy burden upon him, though he was not going to reveal to the human girl that it was his beloved pureblood leader whom killed Shizuka.

"I know ... " Sayori's response was soft, but audible. Still, it stunned Aidou for a split second as he wondered if the girl had witnessed what he did back at the abandoned dormitory building. Unknowingly, he tensed up at the girl's words as he wondered what his pureblood leader might be capable of doing to the girl. He, himself have been subjected to various death threats by his leader and having known for a fact that Kaname would kill if the need arises. Somehow, Aidou found himself fearing for the safety of the human girl whom he had been ordered to keep an eye upon.

As though sensing his uneasiness, Sayori spoke up again. "Whatever you are thinking, you can jolly well discarded them. I did not know of Shizuka's death the same way as you did, I was told about it just now during the phone conversation with some of my family's acquaintance. It seems that someone had given both the Vampire Council and the Hunter's Association the slip that Shizuka Hiou, a pureblood had been killed within the academy grounds. That is how I came to know of her death ... "

Upon Sayori's words, Aidou felt his eyes widening in shock. For he knew things are going to get downright complicated now, the council would not take it lightly about the death of another pureblood, and for it to take place within Cross Academy itself spelt trouble for them all. Swallowing nervously, Aidou tried to hide his anxiety by speaking calmly.

"Did that person tell you whom was the one that reported the event to the council? Have you any idea of the killer's identity? "

"... I can't tell you whom reported the event, but I can tell you the name of the main suspect that the council had it in mind to blame Shizuka Hiou's death upon. " Sayori told the blue-eyed blond vampire calmly, as she uttered the name which belongs to one of her classmates, and the subject of her daily observations. "Zero. "

"What?!" Aidou started in shock, before clapping his hand over his mouth. Thank goodness he had caught himself in time, or he would have slipped up and just blurted out that it was Kaname, not Zero whom had been Shizuka's killer.

Sayori choose to disregard Aidou's reactions, as she continue to speak. "That's the name of the killer that the informant had chose to tell the council. However, I do not believe it in the slightest bit. Nonetheless, I think the council would just take the informant's words for it and choose not investigate the situation deeper. So I guess, we could pretty much assumed that the council would send their envoys over with a warrant of arrest for Zero in another few days' time. "

"... " For a while, Aidou just stared at the human girl in silent contemplation. There seemed to be a mystery surrounding the girl, he wanted to know what that is but he knew Sayori would never revealed it to him or anyone else for that matter. At least, not at this point of time but he was certain that one of these days, Sayori's secret would be out in the open for everyone to know. Somehow, deep underneath his own heart he wanted very much to be the first person whom get to know about the girl's secret.

"Shit!" Aidou cursed aloud as the thought fleeted past his mind, causing the human girl to stare at him quizzically before turning away from him. 'Stop it, and snapped out of it! Stop thinking about something that would never happened, and she's a human ... For heaven's sake, things would never worked out between them! '

Aidou told himself repeatedly inside his heart, the girl had first caught his eyes when he noticed for the first time just how different Sayori's reactions to the members of the night-class had seemed when one compared her with the rest of the day-class females. The girl had always greeted them politely whenever they crossed each other path's within the school grounds, but that was it. Sayori would never be seen among the fan-girls, instead it was by the side of Yuuki if the girl did happened to be hanging around the vicinity of the Moon Dormitory.

Nonetheless, he had not given the girl's existence any thoughts before. It was not until Kaname send him out to keep a constant watch on the girl's daily activities did he finally felt himself somewhat drawn towards Sayori's personality and characteristics. Despite the fact that it had only been a week since he started to watch the girl, but Sayori had never failed to fascinate him throughout the week.

True, the girl had always been keeping an eye on Zero but according to his observation, Sayori was not observing Zero's out of personal interest. At least, it was not in the sense of romance but one out of sheer duty and responsibility. He had seen how Sayori would always frown when Zero got himself injured, and how the girl had taken to talk for a prolonged period of time over the phone in the middle of the night, and out in some isolated areas for fear of disturbing anyone with her phone conversation.

"Wakaba Sayori ... Who are you, actually? " Aidou found himself musing aloud, as he stared at the silent girl from behind.

"Hm.m..? Did you say anything just now? " Sayori turned towards the blue-eyed blond vampire and asked, cocking her head slightly to the side as she regarded the daze-like blond.

Aidou blinked, coming back to his senses and nearly blanched upon recalling his previous words. Still, he shook his head and responded. "Nothing ... just talking to myself. "

"Oh ... alright then, I'll be off now. Although, I'll say you might want to hurry along too unless you really intended to get yourself a sun-burn. " Sayori said, as she reminded the blond yet again of the possibility of being burnt if he were to stay out in the woods, any longer.

It was after all, the start of the spring season as it was now officially March. The season of winter had ended two days ago, and with the approach of the season of spring. The sun-rays are bound to be stronger, therefore it would really be a torture for vampires like Aidou to stay out in the day for a prolonged period of time.

Akane sighed as she fought the urge to doze off in class, she had spend hours trying to calm the agitated Subaru down late last night. The intention to skip her class for the day was strong but still she forced herself to come for classes, for she knew the notes which Yuuki had it in mind to take down for Zero would never be detailed and clear enough to explain what the teacher had covered in class for the day. Therefore, she would have to be here for class so as to note down all the key points and additional information which the teacher had supplied to the class as preparation for the upcoming final semester examinations.

During lunch break, Akane and Yuuki went over to the Chairman's place so as to check on Zero's recovery progress. They arrived just in time to find the Chairman trying to keep Zero from wandering off by himself, the silver-haired hunter was obvious limping about the place as the injury that he had inflicted upon himself with the use of the 'Bloody Rose' had yet to heal properly.

"See, Zero! I told you that you should just stayed in bed and waited until your wound had healed by itself before you start to move around the place. Now you are going to bleed all over the carpet as your wound reopened itself from the impact of moving unnecessarily. " The Chairman chided Zero, good-naturedly with a frown marring his features.

However, Zero refused to obey and just wanted to proceed on with his usual guardian's duty. It was not until Akane cut in smoothly and said.

"I would advice you to stay in bed, I bet Subaru's going to drop by later with Akira in tow. Depending on the situation, Kaname-sama is going to come by and pay you a visit as well. Certainly, you would not want to make the twins worry unnecessarily? Not to forget, going about your usual guardian's duty while still bleeding from the injury makes you all the more vulnerable to the lure of the blood-lust. Are you sure you want to risk the possibility of endangering the rest of the school population by going out there, in your current condition?"

"... " Upon Akane's words, Zero fell silent as he allowed himself to be ushered back to his room by Yuuki and the Chairman. Yuuki probably thought Akane was going to feed him again, and thus decided to leave the notes with Akane and left the room so as to grant them both some privacy.

However, Akane did not bring up the issue of feeding him which was indeed a surprise to him as well. Instead, the girl merely commented. "Here's the notes from Yuuki and myself, I think you should look through Yuuki's notes first before referring to mine. What she wrote was basically what the teacher had written on the board, my version of the notes included some additional information which the teacher had talked about but did not list them out on the board as its' mainly for additional knowledge. "

"I see ... thanks, I supposed. " Zero responded, as he flipped through the notes idly and scanning them rapidly with his eyes before setting them aside for the time-being.

"I would like to feed you if possible, but unfortunately ... today would be kind of inconvenient for myself. For there's a very big tendency for me to go into a blood-lust, should I choose to feed you now ..." Akane explained, looking down at Zero's injury with a frown before retrieving the first aid kit from the bathroom and started to re-apply and change the bandages on Zero's wound.

At first Zero was bewildered by Akane's words, before he distinctively noted the scent of Akane's blood. It was mild as his own blood was clouding his senses but still rather distinctive, for he had taken the girl's blood so many times that he could pin-point the fact that Akane was bleeding somewhere. However, a quick scan of the girl's physical appearance he knew that there was no injury in sight, but still it remained a fact that the girl was bleeding. It was then that a certain image from the day-class health education class came flashing into his mind, did he finally realized why and where Akane was bleeding. That causes his face to turn an interesting shade of red, and Akane to smirk at him openly.

"So I see you've finally figured it out eh? Aidou nearly got a tongue lash from Takuma, when he had openly inquired about the issue of why I'm bleeding nonstop this morning when he returned from the outside. Sometimes I wonder why he's so oblivious about such issues when he had quite a number of sisters at home ... "

"Who knows, maybe he just slept through the most of that health class? Wait, does the night-class schedule included that in the syllabus? "

"... No idea, why don't you ask the class representative of the night-class himself? " Akane suddenly said, as she stepped away from Zero and took her leave after nodding at someone whom had just stepped into his room, uninvited.

There was no need for him to question the identity of the new visitor, for it could only be a certain pureblood going by the name of Kaname Kuran.

With an inward sigh, Zero stared up at his uninvited guest and decided to drop all pretense and just cut straight into his point.

"So what exactly brings you over today? I don't see either of the twins with you, so it can't be due to their insistence upon visiting me that resulted in your presence here today. "

For a while, Kaname did not respond. For he was trying to see if there could be any way in which he could give Zero the blood of Shizuka's without admitting to the former indirectly, that he had been the culprit behind Shizuka's sudden death on campus.

"Kuran, in case you've forgotten about my existence ... May I remind you again that I am still waiting for your respond on this particular issue? " Zero's voice cuts in, impatiently startling him out from his thoughts.

"I apologized for spacing out on you, but I do have some other thoughts on my mind ... " Kaname stated, his tone flat and laced with some hints of annoyance upon the silver-haired hunter's lack of patience with him. For some reasons, it make him feel as though Zero detested the idea of being alone with him for more than five minutes without the twins being around.

---

Silence stung the air, for the two vampires duo tried to stare one another down with their heated gaze. Some time later, Zero broke their eye-contact as he turned his eyes away from the pureblood. He felt incredibly stupid for engaging himself in some kind of staring contest with the pureblood, knowing for certain that he would never win against the former. His patience was limited, and he would get unnerved by the silence eventually and snapped. That much, he knew. So why was he even bothering with the idea to get any form of response out from Kaname by staring the former down?

Then he noticed something being placed on the bedside table and frowned. "What is that? "

"What do you think it is? " Kaname's voice responded, evenly and calmly from behind.

Zero took a moment to assess the bottle of red liquid before responding, "Blood ... but whose? "

"It's not Akane's ... and I honestly doubt, its' from the twins. Somehow, I highly doubt the possibility of these blood coming from you ... "

Kaname suppressed the urge to growl upon the silver-haired hunter's words, for inwardly he had wanted to give the former his own blood. However, he knew only Shizuka's blood have the ability to stop the silver-haired hunter from descending into the realms of insanity. Therefore, regardless of how much he disliked the idea of giving Shizuka's blood to the former, he would have to as it was the only solution to keep Zero alive and sane.

"Yes, unfortunately for me ... You are right in your assumption, those blood aren't from me. They are, in fact, from the one and only pureblood that you'd failed but desired very much to kill for yourself. Those blood ... they belonged to Shizuka Hiou. "

Zero froze upon the mention of Shizuka's name, as he turned to stare at Kaname with wide disbelieving eyes. His mouth open and close but no words were formed, he was too stunned to form coherent thoughts or words. Sure, he admitted to the idea that he had wanted very much to see the female pureblood dead. Still, when he witnessed the last moment of the female pureblood he was completely stunned speechless. Somehow, he felt empty as though he was missing a part of himself when Shizuka died. He had thought it was because of the sudden absence of the bond between Shizuka and himself, that made him reacted in that manner.

With the death of Shizuka, and the fact that Ichiru had drained the last of Shizuka's blood. Zero thought he was doomed for the fate of descending into 'Level E', one of these days. Yet, now Kaname Kuran had waltzed into his room with a bottle of Shizuka's blood placed in front of him, just what exactly does the former had it in mind for him to do? Was the pureblood trying to get him to drink Shizuka's blood? Or was it just another mind-game that the former wanted to involve him in?

"What exactly are you playing at? I've seen how Shizuka died, and how Ichiru had drained the very last drop of her blood. How could it be possible that you are able to get your hands on her blood? Unless you are the killer, yourself ... " Zero froze in mid-question, as realization sets in upon him and he paled visibly.

"You did it ... You are the one whom killed her! It had to be the case, or you wouldn't have been able to get your hands upon her blood! " Zero started to speak again, this time around he was staring with intent as though daring the former to contradict his accusation.

"Yes, it was me. I was the one whom killed her. " Kaname admitted, after all there was no point in him trying to hide that particular information away from Zero.

Upon Kaname's honest response, Zero felt a torrent of emotions flooding through him. There was obviously confusion as he tried to understand Kaname's reason for killing Shizuka. There was also the justifiable annoyance and irritation, as he felt that Kaname had steal his 'prey' for it had always been his desire to kill Shizuka, for himself as a form of revenge against the female for causing his family tragedy. Then for some odd reason, there was anguish mixed among the slightest hint of sadness and sorrow that was hidden underneath the depths of his heart upon the knowledge of Shizuka's death.

"Zero? " Kaname started in concern, frowning as he felt the silver-haired guardian staring blankly at him. He could see a torrent of emotions being reflected in the lilac eyes of the hunter, but the former had shown no outward reactions to his words. Therefore, when the former came outright and told him to leave. He was relieved that the hunter was not paralyzed with shock.

"I said, Leave! Or do you have problem understanding my words? " Zero gritted out in irritation, he was staring down at the floor and clenching his fists by his side.

Kaname knew Zero probably need some time to sort things out, and thus he left the room without a word. After all, he did have other duties that required his attention. His hand hovered near the bottle of blood standing on the bedside table for a second, wondering if he should take the bottle of blood with him as he leave. However, before his hand could reached for the bottle, Zero's voice stopped him in the mid of his actions.

"Leave the bottle and go ... "

Zero was aware of the quizzical stare which he was being subjected to by the pureblood before the former made a move to leave the room, thus enabling him to sort out his thoughts alone. Staring at the bottle of blood sitting innocently on his bedside table, part of him wanted to smash the bottle to pieces, whereas another part of him wanted to just ignore its' existence. Why did he requested for the bottle to be left in his room, he had no idea since the idea of drinking the blood now was the very last thing on his mind.

In fact, even if he had been the one whom killed Shizuka, he knew he would never drink the former's blood. For his intention was to die together with Shizuka, as he delivered his killing move on the female. Now, with Shizuka killed by Kuran and her blood readied for his consumption sitting innocently by the side of his bed. He had no idea what to do next, should he drink the blood and keep himself from falling to the realm of insanity? Or should he just smashed that bottle to pieces, and succumbed himself to the inevitable fate of losing his sanity? Honestly, he was at a loss of actions.

With a half-hearted growl, he made a grab for that notebook of Akane and started to focus his attention upon studying instead of staring at the bottle of blood as he tried to figure out what he should do about it.
