~One last kiss to remember

Last night

The Demon Rin stood out in front in me reaching toward my heart. She gave a sadistic smile which made me shiver...these evil things always seem to make me tremble. At first I didn't understood what she was doing and then she slipped inside. My whole body went cold and I heard her.

Let me take off these nuisance emotions

"Wait what?! No stop!" I screamed inside. I felt my body go numbed from my chest to my fingertips. My knees went weak dropping hard to the ground. I looked up and saw Myself with a black box.

I locked you're emotion in this box as you can see. But don't worry I'll leave it inside you and when the time is right I'll unlock...She said pushing the spiritual cube inside me.

I didn't say a word not knowing what to think or what I even felt about this. Well, for one thing I couldn't feel. I was cold that's the only thing I felt.

She flashed inside me and then i was embraced with darkness once again.

Third P.O.V

Zero was at his class waiting anxiously for Rin to come in. He came in early just for her and was he tired. He tried to going to her room but she wasn't there. He would wait another couple of minutes until he leaves and goes searching for her.

He had his head laid down, thinking of Rin and how she looked yesterday. She stared at him straight in his eyes and he saw in those green eyes there was a hint of pain. Yet he was selfish enough not bothering questioning how she felt during the time. His heart ache every time, he reminisce about that night.

The bell rang and he was already up but soon enough Rin came in. Her uniform was wrinkled and her shoes had dirt stains. She looked straight not giving anyone a glance. As they gawked at her ruin uniform.

"Rin...don't test time, next time you better be in your seat before the bell rings" The unknown teacher lectured. Rin not taking any notice and just responded with "K" She sat at her usual seat away from everyone and return staring at the window as the sun began to rise.

During through the period of class, Zero couldn't stop looking at Rin, she didn't move nor looked anywhere else besides the window. It was as if she was avoiding him although in Rin case, she honestly didn't care. She woke up this morning outside with numbness. A weird sensation that she had never felt. The world could be black and white and she wouldn't even notice.

In the middle of class a shriek erupted in the halls. Everyone snapped out from the teachers lectures. A boy from across the room opened the doors, panting from running.

"There's an animal attack outside!" The student exclaimed his uniform nearly torn in shreds.

Rin and Zero didn't take moments to lose before they were out the door. For the first time Zero wasn't thinking about him and Rin's dilemma. When they reached outside they saw Hatchi attacking the students. The group of teens huddled together in the corner trying to escape the wrath of the beast.

"Is that Hachi?" Zero spoke.

"Hatchi? Is that his name?" Rin said staring at the huge black dog.

"Well Yeah, you named him" Zero said staring at Rin with confusion.

"Okay,...let's just get this mutt out of here before he continues terrorizing the students" She said not sure what he meant by she named the dog.

She came close to the dog not remembering that it was once her beloved best friend. The dog snarled baring his large teeth at her. His eyes were coated with red not looking like dog at all. When the dog jumped at her aiming at her neck, she kicked the mutt right at it's face. He hit the cement floor letting out small squeak of pain.

"Rin...Why...would you do that?" Zero said looking over Hatchi.

"What do you mean, the dog was attacking the students; I did what i had to do" She said trying to move the group of students out of the corner.

"That's not the point, that was Hatchi!" He shouted pointing at the dog but was no longer there when he looked back. Hatchi was already racing in the wood of Cross Academy for safety.

"Whatever, I'm growing tired of you constantly yelling at me. I'll be escorting these two girls to the nurse to treat their wounds." Rin said taking both girls in each hand as the quiver from shock of the dog.

~XXX~

Rin was suddenly called to the headmaster office after she led the two girls to the nurse. She let out a sigh and left the room. She didn't have time to go change and wear at least a different set of clothes. Maybe even a shower could be good too.

She arrived at the headmaster quarters, taking little heed the fact that Zero, Yuki and Kaname were here also. She stood at the front of the desk in a line with them. The headmaster had his hands folded, it was a mark that meant, he was serious and the playful side of him was gone for the moment.

"It's obvious that this dog, must go. He is no longer controlled by his owner." Kuran said narrowing his eyes a Rin. Rin didn't care though, thinking it wasn't her problem.

"I'm sorry Rin, but Kaname is right, Hatchi must be put down" Headmaster said sadly.

"Wait, there's has to be another way. Hatchi meant everything to Rin." Yuki cried out.

"Yuki, this animal is no longer domesticated. It's most likely he doesn't even remember Rin" Kaname said trying to reason with the distressed Yuki.

"But...Rin...-

"If this dog was my responsibility then I'll have it killed tonight" Rin said finally speaking. Everyone including Kaname was surprised at Rin's words. Remembering how Rin and Hatchi were inseparable.

"What?" Yuki whispered not sure if Rin's words were processing through her brain. Yuki couldn't believe what Rin was saying. She thought she would be the first to object and defend her pet from being killed.

"Then it's settled then, I'll leave the mutt to you than" Kaname said clearly not choosing wisely with his words in front of Yuki.

"Don't call Hatchi a mutt in front of Rin. Hatchi was everything to her and it's not right that she has to be the one to kill him" Yuki said astonishing confronting Kuran.

"And Hatchi does remember Rin...I make sure of it. " Yuki said as heat went up to her cheeks.
"Come on Rin" said grabbing hold of Rin's sleeve as dragged her out the room.

"Please don't drag me" Rin sighed.

Not thinking at all...oh soo nothing thinking at all. Yuki wasn't finished speaking out at Kaname. She bit her lower lip and blurted out. "I won't speak to you until you apologize to Rin"

This left everyone mind blown...Yuki defy Kaname? Now those two don't mix. Even with Rin's trapped emotions inside the cube box, it still manage to jiggle; the emotion of shock nearly blew everything out.

As they came outside everything started to sink in; the fact that she repel against Kaname-sama. Now Yuki was beginning to regret what she said. Her eyes were beginning to tear.

"If you didn't mean what you say, there still a chance for you to apologize to Kuran". Rin said as she tagged along with Yuki.

"No! What Kaname-sama said to you was mean and uncalled for" Yuki said trying to stay mad Kaname.

"He's always been this way" Rin stated.

"Even so I still believe that you and Hatchi can be friends again...I just know it" She said squeezing her hand tightly.

Hatchi? Why did they all assume that I had some sort of attachment with this dog. I mean it was just a dog...I don't even remember having one...did I have dog? I mean I did wanted one when I was younger~ Rin thought to herself

"Do you think he hates me now...Rin-chan" Yuki confessed.

"I don't believe he hates you, just take back what you said" Rin said in uncaring voice.

"NO! It's his fault" Yuki refused.

"Then, let's find Hatchi and get this over with" Rin said being the one to lead into the entrance of the forest .They started heading north, finding trails of paw prints on the muddy ground. Although Rin notice more than just paw prints, she noticed droplets of blood.

"Yuki, I don't think this is the Hatchi you guys are talking about" Rin said as she kept on discovering more blood.

"What do you mean?" Yuki ask oblivious to the droplets on the floor.

"What I mean is, this is an animal not some puppy" Rin said.

"But you and Hatchi have a strong bond" Yuki persisted.

"Bonds break,Yuki" Rin said coolly causing Yuki to stop walking. There was rustling in the bushes. Rin pulled Yuki behind her getting her sword out, pointing at the enemy. Before Rin swung her sword, she spotted blond hair.

"Takuma, what brings you here?" She questioned swiftly drawing her sword back.

Takuma was wearing jungle cap and carried a large net. He was dress as Zookeeper while the rest wore their uniforms. Rin wasn't surprised by this, since Takuma always dress up for any occasion. Although Rin did seem to notice that Zero tagged along with them.

"I'm glad you asked" Takuma smirked grabbing his net high.

"We're the animal control of justice sent by dorm president Kaname or name is...What shall we call ourselves?" Takuma said turning to Akatsuki.

"Don't ask me! ...I didn't even know we were animal controllers"

"Well any way Kaname asked us to find Hatchi, we six" Takuma smiled. Ruka, Rima and Shiki looked to be the one that wanted to leave the most.

"So we can trust you that you won't harm Hatchi" Zero said walking to Rin and Yuki's side.

"Probably, animals never had good liking to us" He said looking around the perimeter for the dog.

"I don't think we have to search very long to find him" Ruka said pointing at in the distance where red eyed wolfish dog glared back.

"That can't...be Hatchi" Yuki gasped gazing at the dog's new crimson eyes.

"Remember Team, We can't kill Hatchi; We just capture it" Takuma ordered.

"Easier said than done" Rima sighed.

Takuma gulped and clenched his net tightly and then stupidity start running at the vicious dog. Hatchi merely feint his plan and passed him by jumping over him. He had other plans to get capture by vampires. He had his eyes set on one thing...Yuki Cross.

Yuki brought artmis out defending herself from the rabid dog. But he was persistent into killing her. He was eager to snap at her face trying to rip it off.

"Hatchi stop" Yuki cried trying to break free. Hatchi continued snapping her until finally reaching her shoulder. She let out a yelp of pain and Zero was on his way to her aid but there was no need...

Rin's sword went through the large dogs chest. Hatchi didn't even get a chance to howl in pain because it was so quick. Rin pulled the sword out as the dog laid limp. The dog's breathing dropped and his eyelids shut.

Rin didn't understand why she picked up the large dog in her arms. She didn't understand why...then something inside broke. She hugged the frail dog and tears fell from her eyes. Why did she cry for this dog...Was it because she had a heart for animals. She didn't know, but she did know that it pained her to see him die.

~XXX~

Everyone left, thinking it was best to leave Rin be. Which they were right to do. She wanted to be alone and ponder about this strange animal. Why did it make her feel the way it did. It was such a strong emotion that she can already feel the seal the demon placed on her emotion was weakening.

She dug the poor dog's grave with just her nails. When the ground was a good 3ft and 20 inches wide she gently laid the dog in the hole. He looked at peace; he didn't seem happy at all being alive. She petted the animal one last time before pouring the dirt over him.

When he was covered, Rin found a yellow daisy. Placing on top of his makeshift grave, she said her goodbyes and went back to school. She didn't want see the body any longer than she should.

The first thing she did was to go to the headmaster quarters to bathe. Her coat was drenched in mud. And she will take a shower if its the last thing she do. When she entered the building, she shrugged off her coat about to head to the bathroom. Before she entered...

"Rin, i'm so glad I found you" The headmaster called at her.

"What is it Headmaster" Rin said becoming slighty annoyed the fact she couldn't take a nice shower.

"I need you to give this to Zero please" The headmaster said handing her an envelope. Rin knew it was from the Hunter associations since it was the only mail he got from someone.

"Fine" She sighed.

Zero was in the infirmary room having a rather unpleasant nightmare:
Shizuka stood there in front of him. Her lips covered in Rin's delicious blood...

"What will happen to you ...now that you've lost your hope for living" She smiled revealing Rin sodden in blood. He saw her dying before and once was enough to drive him mad.

"Zero..." She murmured collapsing his arms.

"RIN!"

Rin finally found Zero laying lazily on the bed. She couldn't help but be frustrated that he was lagging around. But she didn't come here and nag on him.

"Zero, The headmaster wanted me to...are you alright?" She stopped his eyes showing fear. It was probably stupid for her to decide to get any closer than she should. Before she knew it, she was pulled to Zero. He hugged her tightly, not caring the fact that Rin hated hugs.

"You're...alive" Zero said squeezing her tighter.

"Yeah, and at any rate you're going to snap me in half if you don't me go" She said slipping away from his grasp.

"Zero? ARE YOU ALRIGHT, MAN" Rin snapped holding onto Zero face. The way Zero was acting was so foreign that made her question if this was Zero at all.

"Yeah" He whispered.

"Thank goodness" She sighed sitting criss cross. She was about to put her hands away from his face but he held her hands still. Leaving them on his cheeks.

Rin...his heart beated louder each time, he thought of her name. He wanted her...he desired...these gentle hands and smiles that made him wanted to be with her. His body was on auto. Leaning toward Rin's soft lips. He was so close to her lips but it only touched the palm of Rin's hand.

"I don't want you to do something you regret" She said. She didn't' want Zero kissing her and then feel like shit afterwards still loving Yuki

"I won't" He stated not knowing where it came from.

"Sorry, I have hard time believing, let's pretend this never happen" Rin said ready to escape. She dropped off the bed but was suddenly twirled around. His lips smashed against hers; She tried not moving her lips but the box that kept her emotions trapped, exploded. She pulled Zero closer desiring him more than he did for her. He continued kissing her pink lips as Rin wrapped her arms around his neck becoming more comfortable.

"I want Rin" He whispered causing her to shiver as he deepen the kiss.

It scared her though...what if this was all just going to fall apart. Nothing good ever happen to her. And these past two weeks made it very clear...But at the moment she could care less. Zero was hers...question for how long?

What an idiot ~the anti Rin groaned in annoyance.
