~. Chapter 6: Lovely Dreams and Bloody Realities.~
Stars.
The night sky was full of stars, Polaris, the north star being the brightest tonight. We were lying down face up towards the beautiful night sky in a field of white heathers, under a patch of forget-me -not's which abnormally grew only in the middle of the small lime grass field. We were surrounded by acres of a unique forest hiding all sorts of secrets no one would even dare to uncover except for a pair of idiots who like snooping around this forest, a brunette and a silver head to be specific. Sung to by the cool night air and the symphony of cicadas that loved to hide in the thick patches of grass, Illuminated by the fireflies which gave out an atmosphere that some would label as magical or even unreal. Puffs of white smoke reminded me that I was in this amazing secret getaway as I breathed out my life to the sky. To my left was a sleeping prince blessed with beautiful silver hair that I often teased him about—since white hair only meant you were aging faster than others—but I was actually a little jealous that he was so beautiful but I was happy, I twisted the silver band on my finger, he was mine.
I rolled over to him and propped myself up to get a good view of him then rested my elbows on his chest ,holding my chin with my hands as I gazed at him, Oh no...I want to tease him again.
"Zero, did your parents leave you in the snow too long that your hair turned into that color? Or did you lie about being 24? What if you're like Uncle Cross? He's 200 years old—Oh no, did I marry a Paedophile? ", I wanted to laugh at myself for being so funny but seriously, I'm a born comedian.
Zero cracked a smile which gave me the perfect opportunity to seem insane.
"I did?", I mock gasped and rolled off him in the most cartoonic fashion, I didn't a get reply instead he rolled sideways in time with my second roll, his eyes slowly opened to reveal the most breath taking shade of gray I have ever seen, gosh, I want to cry at how pretty he can get, he always made me so conscious about my brown mop of hair and abnormally big red eyes. I wonder what I look like in those eyes of his?
Never mind about what kinds of beauty secrets he has! I'm in battle mode! I must not fall for the enemy! (Probably meant she was in the middle of teasing him)
I puffed my cheeks and furrowed my brows, "hey, if you don't answer that means I'm right and I'll kill you for lying to me", he crossed his arms and smirked, Argh, that always meant he had something to say, it's so hard to corner him with teasing.
"—really now? Are you sure you want to fight me?", he said with his deep and rich voice then he gave out low chuckle, oh so your underestimating me huh?
I giggled then gave him my best smirk, "says the vampire hunter to the pureblood? Don't make me laugh, Zero, I'd have you down in three seconds".
Then he killed me.
"—no, says the husband to the wife, I'd have you down in one second", he flashed me a rare grin.
IUESHGFSOSVJSFHS8U9! GAHHHH! DARN HIM! HE'S SO COOL! Oh no, he's pulling me in, HE'S HUGGING ME! I'M MELTING! STOP IT! I'M GONNA DIE, AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH—he smells so nice like lavender and laundry soap, argh, I'm such a pervert! BAD YUUKI! My heart is a mess, this guy is gonna be the death of me, I bet he could hear my noisy heart beat, of course he can! He's a vampire! –NOW HE'S LAUGHING? Darn, my face is so hot, I hate him.
I hate him so much.
"I love you, Yuuki"
I couldn't help but try to push him away, "d-do you want me to die? Are you trying to kill me!".
"well you said you wanted to fight me, I'm giving you a fight", He smirked and snuggled me, our legs all tangled up and I was trapped in his warm embrace, there was no escape.
All I need are 3 little words and the game would be in my favour, just 3 words back, that's all I need to say to mess him up but it's so hard to say and now suddenly my throat is dry, my hands are sweaty and the world is in slow motion, why is it always like this? Seriously. It's like some sort of unwanted High.
I looked at the line of forget-me-nots that separated our bodies from completely melding together, the small holes in between us were filled with these blue flowers, the flowers of undying love and eternal friendship, then I looked over Zero's shoulder at the patch of heathers a few good feet away, signs of eternal love.
This was where five months ago, he proposed to me, this secret garden he had been working on for five years ever since we started dating. I was first brought here on the night he proposed to me and come to think of it, the signs were beautiful but awfully corny for some tastes, in this 5 year relationship with him, I've realized, he's such a hopeless romantic!
"Hey Yuuki, are you ignoring me?", aww, I pissed him off.
"Not really, I just love you a lot, Zero", I smiled, hugging him like there was no tomorrow.
Hehehe, he's so cute when he blushes! Gah, I'm such a die hard Zero fangirl! Insert inner squeal right here!
"wake up! Auntie Yuuki! Get up!", I was shaken back into reality and found myself looking into Saito's face.
Now I remember...our contact told us to meet him at the warehouse by the docks where the murderers were said to gather up for a weapons meeting, our contact was a trusted hunter as Mr. Yagari said. The information was solid and we were in for an easy win and had a shallow strategy, make contact and kill...that was all..but we were betrayed.
It was an ambush.
I was shot right in the face, well not really, I stopped the bullet from going in too deep but the sound wave hit me and threw me into an unconscious state. The Kuran murderers turned out to be a bunch of humans and they carried human weaponry. I had a feeling they didn't know who they were hunting for, it was a good thing I was shot in the right cheek and not in any vital areas, they obviously didn't expect me to get up again. This was good news but not to the other hunters, the weapons could hurt them unlike the vampire weapons and that was all we carried, vampire weapons, we didn't have anything else.
It looks like I was dragged into another warehouse by Saito but I could still hear the gunshots and fighting so that meant we weren't too far, Saito had had blood everywhere but it didn't smell like his, though he had quite a bad graze on his right leg, "w-what happened? Where's Mr. Yagari?", Saito shook his head, "We have to get out of here, it's a bloodbath in there, he took Artemis and ran inside", his voice was a little shaken, it was obvious that he'd get like this, he was new after all and trained for vampires...
I touched the side of my face, the metallic taste of dried blood and small cracks, my senses were numb and there was a ringing in my right ear that didn't look like it was gonna stop anytime soon,I spat out the gold bullet...looks like I wasn't in any state of walking in and helping Mr. Yagari...
I struggled to get to get up on my feet, I couldn't help Saito, I've lost too much blood to be able to able to heal his leg, he seemed alright as he immediately got up after me.
"Auntie Yuuki, I think you've already analyzed the situation..but let me tell you this, they maybe human but their different, they are people who didn't inherit the blood", Saito said wincing as he scanned the area for some kind of cloth for his leg.
Humans who didn't inherit the blood? Whose blood?
"Saito, what are you talking about?", I said closing my right ear, it's pretty much useless now.
"As you know, Hunters are advanced humans with capabilities-", Saito winced again, "to take down vampires—argh this hurts-and as the hunters generations grew older, the blood lines grew thin, so instead of having all hunters in a family, in some cases where the hunters had big familiers, there are children born with no talent what-so-ever, they did not inherit the hunter blood, instead their blood was taken from them by their older siblings to be able to compensate for the lack of hunter blood they had in them".
"That's horrible...wait, you mean the Kuran murderers are Hunter children who didn't inherit the blood?", I stood there, frozen, why would they kill people who coincidentally had the same last name as the founding purebloods of the vampire race? And why would they hurt other hunters? This has yet to make sense to me..."apparently yes...Auntie Yuuki, some of them were people I knew, it's a whole underground group!...and judging by the way I saw them fight...they had been drinking blood from a vampire..a good number of them smelled like one already..I..I don't know how to react to this", Saito wasn't in any state to be the one to report this.
I must be responsible now.
"Saito, there's a very great probability that we and Mr. Yagari are the only ones who know this and the hunter association is unknown to the fact that the killers are their own people, our top priority is to be able to relay everything about them to the association, we'll come back for Mr. Yagari later..if he survives...", I said to Saito, my voice clear and strong, I was confident to get this kid out of this mission alive, for Kaito and Yori's sake, we should've have belittled this mission.
"If you survive..you mean", a smooth silky voice followed, crept into the warehouse as I turned to the direction of the voice by reflex, hiding Saito behind me.
"Who's there?", I said baring my fangs out and letting my night vision settle into the poorly lighted warehouse, a slender figure appeared in my eyes and disappeared just as fast, it isn't human, it was vampire...I could feel it's bloodlust ...for my blood.
"You stink like a Kuran, must the girl, ne?"
~.~.~.~.~
"YUUKI!", Zero shot up from the couch in cold sweat as he remembered that he had fallen asleep after watching a re-run of Oprah, something wasn't right, his gut was telling him so. Yuuki...something about Yuuki...Zero jumped from his spot on the couch and sprinted toward the drawer where his unloaded Bloody Rose was sitting, She was in danger...His Yuuki was in danger, Zero bared his fangs at the thought of someone hurting her. No one was going to hurt her, he wouldn't let that happen...and if he wasn't going to let that happen..it will not happen.
Thank his kitty stars, that his senses enhanced his awareness towards the situation.
"Ichiru! I'm going to the grocery! Don't follow me! And don't go outside! If you do, I'm shipping you to Aoi's house!"
After a long contemplating filled pause...
"Yes!"
Now his son wouldn't wander. Good.
