Chapter 15

~ X ~

The town was filled with people filling the streets as they walked into the boutique stores and restaurants in the European town. Their faces filled with joy and curiosity as they enjoyed their night in the lively town of Munich.

In one of the luxury hotel rooms that overviewed the city with the balcony, two men stood in the hallway of the room dressed in tuxedos.

Perfectly attired for the evening ahead of them, they were just waiting on one more body to depart the hotel to travel to their destination where the soiree was being held for the evening.

As the bedroom door of the hotel opened the two pair eyes moved from the city towards the young women dressed in a black gown embellished with bright gold patterns around the dress. The dark colored gown went up to her neck in a turtle style while a cut out on top of her chest exposing her chest slightly. The end of the dress was styled in a mermaid gown where the bottom puffed out.

She was absolutely gorgeous, one of the males thought to themselves as they watched how she fixed the crystal bracelet on her right wrist. A small black clutch in her right hand while her golden locks was styled to the side with perfectly organized curl falling exactly in the positioned they were meant to be in.

"We should leave, President Del Luca sent a car for us." Toga announced as he watched his apprentice eyes observe the young female.

The younger adults agreed as the silver haired hunter took the golden haired females hand in his as he helped her walk in the gown.

Sayuri's eyes observed as the car traveled down the cobbles streets going a little bit more on the south side of the city.

As the car finally came to a stop Toga Yagari was the first to exit the black vehicle. Then the silver haired male stepped out of the vehicle while he stretched out a hand to assist his escort for the week in Munich, Germany.

The doors opened of the large headquarters of the Hunter Association base is Munich. As the three bodies entered the ballroom their eyes was feed with bright lights and bodies dressed in gowns and suits for the evening.

The silver haired male immediately recognized the first person they would be greeted by it was the president of Ukraine, which he had meet exactly five days prior. The dark haired male was known as Ivan Vanko, he was in his late thirties having just taken the president seat seven years ago.

"President Kiryuu" The dark haired male greeted with a smirk as he walked towards the Japanese president and advisor. It took the older man a moment to recognize the female body beside the silver haired hunter.

"President Vanko, it is a pleasure to see you again." The violent eyed man greeted, he had become familiar and trustworthy of this male since they had been working now together since he began as Japanese president.

"I do not believe I have ever seen you with an escort before." The males eyes landed on the female that arm was wrapped around the silver haired male's arm.

"This is Sayuri Ikeda, she is my companion for the evening." Zero Kiryu spoke in a clear voice almost a bit hesitant to admit that she was with him for the evening.

I have to keep my mind clear…

The silver haired male thought to himself as the past nights traveling were extremely difficult keeping his mind from wondering about the female beside him.

"Well…then.. it is a pleasure to meet you lady Ikeda, My name is Ivan Vanko." The dark haired male greeted with an assuring smile, he remembered the first time he went to one of these events with his wife, they were both extremely nervous.

"The pleasure President Vanko is mine" Sayuri curtsied to the older man in her greeting.

The evening was going well, however the host Leon Del Luca had not yet made his presence known among his guest. One of the advisor had informed them that Del Luca heir was having trouble sleeping and would be with them shortly.

Zero observed as Sayuri stood among a group of women and men standing beside Toga conversing quite comfortably.

He was worried for Sayuri since the beginning of the trip there were times where she would completely wear this blank look on her face.

He could not blame her, to face someone like Leon Del Luca was not easy especially since he had saved her life.

It reminded him so much of his past, with Kuran Kaname and Yuuki.

His eyes flashed towards Sayuri as one of the single male hunters in the group began to slightly touch her elbow as they spoke. Toga had been pulled away by another hunter to converse with him on another matter.

Zero felt like his chest was on fire burning up in such rage, he had only felt towards Kuran before.

The silver haired male was about to move towards his escort for the evening but his movements stopped as the host entered the hall.

"President Del Luca and his wife lady Clara." The announcer declared as the royal couple came through the doors of the other end of the room.

Zero slowly began to make his way towards Sayuri as the host of the soiree was being greeted and conversed with.

He slowly placed a hand behind her lower back making the light haired female jump slightly.

"Ohh Zero you startled me" he apologized slightly when Ivan decided to make a comment on the young couple.

"It is hard to believe President Kiryuu bringing an escort with him." everyone gave slight laugh and agreement to the middle aged man.

"That's right I was quite shocked when my wife whispered to me about mister serious having a woman beside him" An older male hunter said, he was an advisor for the Italian Hunter Association.

Sayuri cheek began to become slightly rosy as everyone watched her standing by the infamous President Kiryuu.

"Tell me how did the two of you meet President Kiryuu?" a brown haired female asked the wife of the advisor from France.

Zero was not a person that spoke much about his personal life in public simply because he did not have one. His life consisted of the association and his hunting of level E's.

"Lady Ikeda is daughter of one my advisors."

Ivan Vanko was the first to pick up the connection, "You are not speaking of Councilor Ikeda are you?"

"That is correct President Vanko, Lady Ikeda is the only child of Councilor Ikeda" Zero informed the group while being a bit shocked some muttering that they never knew the man had child.

The evening continued on as President Del Luca made announcements about the progress of peace between the hunters and vampire.

As the evening became later alcoholic beverages were served Zero had counted exactly fifteen times that the dark haired pureblood eyes fell on the woman beside him.

"Are you alright?" Sayuri asked him as her eyes bore into his own as the stood together in the hall watching the couples dancing the live music playing.

"Yes, I am fine, are you tired do you wish to leave?" the silver haired hunter asked concerned for the young woman beside him. He had noticed during their travels that she seemed more tired than usual.

Before an answer could be made by the blonde haired female her eyes moved towards the back of Zero's form.

"President Kiryuu" The female voice came towards them, Zero eyes moved towards the older female.

"Lady Clara" He noticed how the female pureblood eyes moved from his form directed towards Sayuri.

"He wishes to see you privately, President Kiryuu will walk with you there. One of the guards will show you the way."

Sayuri's finger twitched slightly becoming a afraid of what was going to take place. Clara detested the younger female.

As the pureblood was about to walk away she turned and mouthed the words towards the young couple.

He is my husband, remember your place girl…

Sayuri stood in the large room close to the door as Zero was standing outside of the room. She kept her hands in front her black gown holding tightly to the dress.

"Sayuri" the older man smiled as he made a step closure towards her moving away from the white crib placed in the middle of the room.

"Lord Del Luca" She greeted him with respect after all he was her master, the man who gave her birth to her vampire life.

"Come you should see him, my son" he disregarded her greeting towards him as he looked towards her and then within the crib watching as his son slept quietly within the night.

"I do not believe it is appropriate nor would lady Clara wish for me to see him, lord Del Luca." She had be brave….she had to do it….

"Clara has nothing to do with us." Leon answered with a slight anger within his voice.

Sayuri concentrated her gaze towards the floor holding her dress tightly hoping for some strength of the fabric.

"Leon….I….ca…" before she could even finish her sentence Sayuri found herself against the wall her lips captured with the male pureblood's.

The only sound within the room was that of moaning and lips moving fervently against one another. The hands moving and pulling against one another trying to make the intimacy closer.

I….I cannot….

She pushed against the male even though it took all of the power within in her, Sayuri managed to create some distance between their forms.

Leon was going to protest about her refusal towards him, but as his blue eyes landed on the female's form he could immediately feel what she was hiding from him.

Being this close to her made things much easier for him to know what was inside of her heart….inside of his heart.

Her eyes were watering now as the tears were slowly beginning to fall, " I cannot anymore Leon…I cannot do this anymore."

"Sayuri this is enough."

Her head shacked back and forth, "It is too much now….I have waited…and waited…I can't anymore Leon…it hurts too much" she clenched her heart tightly.

"To have you this close….but so far away…Leon try to understand" Sayuri was taken by surprise when she was engulfed by the male embrace.

"You are my everything Sayuri…my world…my breath…you have my heart" His lips lightly landed upon her own.

"I know that I can never repay you for the life you have given me." She placed a hand upon her chest feeling her heart….their heart beating rapidly within her chest.

"But I must move on…..I have moved on….father has chosen someone for me."
