Chapter 9
~ X ~
The night was cool and windy as the male population filled the red district streets with their bodies some walking a straight line while others wavered in their vision intoxicated by the woman and the liquid they had consumed burning inside of their bodies.
As the young girls pulled the older men into their shop to share drinks and their company for a certain amount of money the business in the district seemed to be going on as they did every night not being aware of the darkness and unkind hand the world had against the frail bodies known as humans.
Those that protected them from the monsters that hide in shadows were on patrol a group of four young hunter making sure nothing that did not belonged in these streets was lingering on the mortal bodies that contained the secret to longevity the substance that made the monsters in the night immortal, young, and beautiful making their prey too easy to catch.
The younger hunters were being tested by their superiors while the older more seasoned hunters took a night off.
But two of the younger male hunters watched as a pair of hazel eyes observed their patrolling system.
Kaito Takamiya one of President Kiryuu close advisor and left hand man.
If they failed this mission they would be sent back into training and they had absolutely no intention of going to back to those dreadful days of hunter training.
The younger male looked at the older making sure he understood what needed to be done they had a mission to do while being trained by the hunters in Japan. Lord Del Luca did not accept failure, so they had no other choice but to make sure they did everything in their power to satisfy the older hunters desire to be admitted and licensed as full fledged hunters under the command of Zero Kiryuu.
The older boy sighed what their hunter president, Del Luca, wanted with the silver haired male vampire they did not know nor did they need to know orders were orders once they were coming from a pureblood they had no choice.
Kaito watched silently as the young four men group moved along the streets and rooftops. His eyes moved to one the bars the red lighting of the sign shining brightly into the night a place he rather be than watching a bunch of brats making themselves a bunch of folls they were trying to be admitted to early the youngest was fifteen.
Zero had established a new law where a hunter would take the test from the ages of eighteen but this group were all younger than that why he admitted them he did not know.
That was lie he knew exactly why he admitted them and as he starred at the bar once more he knew the reasons the brats were being tested so early was because a command was being made one even the infamous President Kiryuu could not even refuse and the reason what currently sitting in that bar being watched and observed at from most of male hunters.
Sayuri Ikeda, who are you?

His violet eyes watched as the male hunters watched her observed her and took in her figure with their hungry eyes most of the men that were in the were married but that did not stop them from looking.
Even he, himself watched as the girl poured her soul out to those that would listen to her cry while the one the truly desired he would not.
He felt guilty to watch her strip in front of all of their eyes to break down mentally emotionally for all to see was he sick was it normal to see something like this and not go up to help her but he had noticed that she did not want the help.
The woman that they fantasied about the woman that was fragile and weak did not want their help. Zero knew all too well she did not want anyone's help only his
She only desired him.
I will leave my heart at the door
I won't say a word
They've all been said before you know
So why don't we just play pretend
Like we're not scared of what's coming next
Or scared of having nothing left
Zero watched silently as she entered his home holding her suitcase tightly in her hands as she removed her boots from her feet revealing her black socks.
He had done what was asked of him, he convinced himself that he was doing it to please her father that she needed to be protected but he knew the reason he agreed he wanted to see what she truly was what her meaning truly was to such a powerful pureblood that was even older than Kuran line.
Someone who sent him messages every other day to hear about her well-being someone that was so possessive of the young girl.
But something deep down told him that he wanted to save her, something he had failed to do for the woman that meant more to him than his very own life.
Look, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
He showed her to her room as she slowly placed her luggage onto the queen sized bed as he laid the other suitcase beside the door.
She observed the room silently she had not spoken much since the night they had dinner together and that was around four nights prior.
"My room is down the hall if you need anything." He spoke silently as she walked up to the cold window placing a gentle small hand watching the outside world silently as he spoke.
If this is my last night with you
Hold me like I'm more than just a friend
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
"President Kiryuu" she uttered her name lightly her voice gentle but the firmness was gone he could hear it, she was going to break the moment he closed the door on her.
She managed to bring a smile upon her face but he did not miss the glossiness in her eyes as she spoke.
'Thank you for everything"
He nodded lightly as he closed the door slowly her eyes following him until his form disappeared behind the door.
Zero stood in front of the door for a moment waiting to hear it, as he stood there for a few moments he realized that she was going to be alright.
He made exactly six steps away from the door when he heard it the sound of the body falling to the ground and tears flowing down her face. The silver haired hunter closed his eyes for a moment as her weeping was filling his ears a normal human would not be able to hear it but he could clearly hear it as her heart poured out the emotion she could no longer contain the pain from within.
Let this be our lesson in love
Let this be the way we remember us
I don't wanna be cruel or vicious
And I ain't asking for forgiveness
All I ask is...
As he read the piece of paper in front of him he knew he had no other choice but to inform lady Sayuri, he was requested to do so by the male pureblood.
As his feet moved against the cold brick streets it had been two days since he last visited this home when he was invited to dinner by her father.
Give me a memory I can use
Take me by the hand while we do what lovers do
It matters how this ends
'Cause what if I never love again?
As he was greeted by the councilor with a serious look the man of the house must have already been aware of the news that he was carrying for his daughter.
"President Kiryuu" She greeted him brightly in a light green dress being accompanied by lady Ikeda, her mother.
He could not tell her but instead gave her the piece of parchment, she looked confused but took the paper regardless her mother stood beside her as her eyes scanned the paper.
Zero noticed that her hand was slowly starting to shake as she must have come to the news
Now, don't get me wrong
I know there is no tomorrow
All I ask is
As a gentle but forced smile came onto her features as her eyes looked at him.
"Please inform Lord Del Luca I send my congratulations on his first born, I hope his son is healthy and strong and may he see many years in this life." Her hand shook silently as she gave him back the piece of parchment her mother's features turning into worry as her father's face turned into anger.
She gave him a slight bow as she excused herself
How cruel
"Excuse me" her mother moved to follow her taking both her shoulder into her arms helping her child walk to her room.
He knew that her father did not want to hear it but he said regardless.
"She will need time"
The older man looked at young hunter as he asked, "Do you speak from experience?"
Zero hesitated at first but decided to answer everyone knew there was no point in hiding it and if it could help an innocent soul like lady Sayuri then he would share his torment.
"Yes"
Zero Kiryuu was all to familiar with the pain that filled ones chest when the one they loved was with another when the one they desired more than anything brought a life into this world without them.
It was agonizing and the pain that filled his chest would never be gone nor would the pain lady Sayuri was feeling go away as long as they lived the agony and heartbreak that was caused by the ones they loved would fill their chest for eternity.
