~ X ~

The Hunter Association conference room was once again filled with the main members of the association and three advisors. Kaien Cross and Toga Yagari being the two main advisors to the Kiryuu president, two representatives for the hunters themselves, and then three more advisors from the old council.

Sadao Ikeda watched across the table as the young male Kiryuu president discussed the new information and systems that were in placed in the other associations across the globe.

Informing the two representatives for the hunters of the new foreign individuals that would come and give new training to the older hunter body and the younger individuals as well.

"That is all for this week" The silver haired hunter declared as he began to leave the office room.

"That went more smoothly than I thought Sadao had nothing to complain about" Kaien commented as he laughed lightly.

However, Zero did not pay him any mind. The silver haired male lilac eyes went towards the blonde haired female as he watched from the second floor as she greeted her father. Their eyes connected for a moment before a rose hue adorned the female cheeks as she looked away from him.

The air around the house had become awkward since their moment of intimacy in Germany. Sayuri would avoid his eye contact while, Zero himself had to keep his eyes from wondering to her lips.

The blonde haired female was spending the week with her parents since it was her parent's wedding anniversary.

"Sayuri, are you listening to me?"

She had get her thoughts back together and concentrate on her father's words.

"Sorry, Outo-san I was distracted for a moment"

"I was saying we should leave, I am done for the day"

She nodded as she followed her father towards the exit of the association but she looked back once more locking eyes with the silver haired male. She hesitated a bit before giving a slow wave towards the Kiryuu male.

As she returned home she found her mother in the kitchen baking, a smile was placed on her lips when her father was greeted by her mother with a bright smile and a kiss on his cheek.

It was something so simple and yet something she desperately wanted in her life. To come to someone who loved her as much as she loved him.

A flash of silver passed through her mind as her heart thumbed twice within her chest.

"Yuri, Zero will be joining us will he not?"

"Yes, mother he is arriving more later in the evening." Sayuri noticed how much her mother adored Zero.

She also noticed that she was trying to secretly get them alone in a more romantic situation and giving Zero hints on her preferable foods.

She had yet to confess to her mother was had happened between her and Zero, the night where her thoughts were not filled with Leon but instead the silver haired hunter.

"Oohhh dear can you pick up a wine from the store for me."

"I will do it" her father commented before her mother complained saying that her daughter could manage to walk by herself.

As Sayuri held the bag in her hand with two bottles of wine, she walked the cobbled street back home. The sun was slowly beginning to set as it adorned the sky with a orange red hue.

She felt bad, since Zero and her arrived home she could not keep a normal conversation with him nor had they even touched on the topic on what had happened.

Her hand rose to her lips as the memory flooded her mind of the kiss they had shared. A rosiness filled across her cheeks as she remembered how soft and gentle Zero had been with her during that kiss.

It was so different from the kisses she had shared with Leon.

Her feet moved slowly against the street as she remained occupied with her thoughts. Not becoming aware of the dark figure that had started to follow her after she had made a turn a few moments ago.

Her mind became flooded of the moments they shared with the Kiryuu president being her guardian. How long had he felt that way for her? How long had he thought of her in such way?

Most importantly what was she in his eyes?

Sayuri became so aware of the silver haired hunter past with Kuran bloodline, the pain and hurt she would see in his eyes when the female Kuran was mentioned.

The way he had forced himself because the brunette demand to do as she told him too.

Could Zero and her become more than what they were? Was there a possibility of them becoming lovers? Or were they both just trying to run away from the heartache from their loved ones?

She wanted to know, she wanted ask him. Would Zero even be able to truthfully answer her questions or maybe they simply had been each other's presence for too long. It was not unnatural for the opposite sex to attract for simply of the need of intimacy.

Vampires would often partake in intimate moments when feeding upon another person.

Sayuri came to realize that she had never seen Zero take anything for his blood thirst. Was it because he no longer had one because the Kuran blood running through his veins.

It was then Sayuri heard a pair of feet moving behind her, her head turning to see a man standing behind her with a thick dark trench coat.

"May I help you?" the man that stood there was no vampire that much Sayuri could tell but she could also determine that he was no good human either.

"You're so beautiful Sayuri" the man muttered in this sickening voice that ran shivers down Sayuri's spine.

How did he know her name?

As the man moved closer to her after his third step, she made her move and ran. The bottles of wine shattering as they hit the floor.

She ran as fast as she could her boots hitting the street, she didn't turn back to look if the man was following her. She had to make as much distance between her and that man.

She made another turn running into the back alley.

"My sweet don't run from me"

Her blonde hair swished back and forth as she made another turn, she listened to hear his footsteps moving the other way as she hid behind one of the street corners.

When she could not see or hear him anymore she became relived slowly stepping back to only be bumped into a hard chest.

"You can't get away from me my lovely Sayuri" The man slammed her against the wall knocking the air out of her lungs.

His hand moved towards her cheek while his face went towards the other side of her face. Her body trembled violently becoming very aware of the position she was in now.

"I have been watching you for so long." His tongue darted out his mouth licking her face from her chin to the side of her eye.

"Please…." She muttered trying to find some humanity in this man, "please….let me go"

He snickered as he kissed her cheek, "I can't don't you understand, my lovely Sayuri I love you."

His hand moved from her face toward her leg pushing her coat to the side to touch her bare leg moving his hand up towards her hip.

Zero ran between the streets searching for Sayuri, as a twenty man team searched for her.

She had been missing now for six hours.

His heart pounded in his chest as he kept running, he could not smell her. He tried desperately to pick up her scent but with the scent of the city he could not picking it up.

He had arrived at her home thirty minutes after she had departed when she had not returned in two hours her mother became panicked and truthfully so did he.

He immediately ordered a search party, spreading out within the city to find the blonde haired female.

Please….be safe

"We found her!" He heard being communicated through the radio that he carried in his hand.

Kaito and him immediately moved towards the female's location.

When the two males arrived at the scene as the hunters just stood at the side of the road starring into the alley way.

"Zero" Toga said as he looked at the silver haired hunter.

Zero moved slowly as the stench hit his nose, the scent of death. His eyes turned to the wall starring at the sight of him.

Blood splattered against the wall body parts ripped apart, he watched as his men covered their nose from the stench. He had never seen anything like this before the man looked like a beast had ripped him a part. The scene that he starred at could only be described as gruesome pure cruelty.

"Zero" it was barely a whisper but his eyes turned in the opposite direction to see Sadao Ikeda kneeling down beside her.

She had her knees up her chest tears streaming down her face, he could see her body violently trembling.

Her clothes were ripped, his anger was rising as he realized what had happened. He could hear her father talking to her trying to make her come home with him but her eyes remained firmly on the silver hunter's lilac eyes.

"I…I…did….not…" before she could finish what she was saying the silver haired hunter moved towards her.

Toga watched as his student went towards the female, while her father stepped back and watched the couple.

Everyone watched their hearts going out to the poor woman. Sayuri wrapped her arms tightly around their president as her cries became louder she sobbed loudly as the silver haired hunter held the female form tightly within his arms as she repeated his name over and over again.

Toga never had seen something like this before and for some reason, he felt as if every single hunter that watched them knew.

Their eyes glued as Zero picked her up in his arms and started walking towards them. His eyes burning red as he looked at his men, his grip becoming more tightly around the female as she sobbed within his shoulder.

Zero's red glowing eyes made contact with Toga and Kaien and they knew what the message was.

Find out who did this

The hunters knew as they watched their president with the woman in his arms. That their president was out for blood for whoever did this to the woman he loved.
