Happy New Year everyone! :3 Alright this chapter may be short and boring but it had to be included. Anyways thank you all for your reviews and stuff, they make me feel good about this story.
I do not own Vampire Knight or its characters. I simply own my own creations.
Masami watched as all hell broke loose once Ayato told everyone his plan. Both Hanabusa and Shiki immediately denied the plan saying it was insane.
Kaien and Zero did the same but also saying that it can easily lead Masami to her death. Both sides began yelling at each other, words and curses mixed into the air causing Masami to become enraged with both sides.
In an instant Masami stood "I'LL DO IT!" Masami yelled for everyone to hear.
The room immediately became quiet.
"I'll do whatever it takes to stop him." she said coldly. "whether it was my choice or not, I am a leader. Leaders have to make sacrifices in order to help their people and in this case to save everyone from a deadly vampire."
"I won't allow you to just put yourself in danger like that Masami!" Hanabusa said angrily. "You heard what they said, if Rido gets his hands on you you'll die."
Masami tore her gaze from his and looked at Ayato "They won't kill me unless I manage to conceive a child with Rido. This is all assuming RIdo captures me but then again none of you are speaking about what if Rido gets a hold of Kanames body."
"Masami, Rido is a ruthless man with his own agenda who will stop at nothing to get what he wants." Kaien spoke "It is your decision after all, I will support you on whatever you decide to do."
Masami saw Zero sigh before he spoke "Kaien's right. It's her decision to make, now stop with this bullshit and let her do what she wants. I'll also support her on whatever decision she decides to make."
"Do you have any connection to Rido?" Ayato asked her.
"No." Masami lied "I saw him a couple of times before but I never knew him."
"You where there when Rido killed Haruka, Juuri, and your parents. Why where you there?"
" My parents wanted me to meet Yuuki Kuran." she responded.
"You have no connection at all to Rido?" Ayato seemed to not believe Masami's response.
"I do not." she kept to her lie
"Then if you agree with the plan we will go through with it. First we must narrow down who we think Rido has taken over and who the informant is. We will decide who will take over the tasks. For now we'll have you go back to the academy. You will be kept under watch until we kill Rido. Toga, Zero, and Shinohara will keep an eyes on you. I know you need to speak to your fiancee about this so this meeting is over. We will contact you soon." with those last words he bowed and left the room along with all of the hunters, including Cross and Zero.
"How can you decide to do such a thing and not let me take a part of the decision?" Hanabusa had moved away from Masami and made it to the large door. "You think I would let another man take you from me? "
Masami opened her mouth to reply when a sudden crash made all the vampires in the room stand.
"What hell.." Shiki said aloud.
"Stay here, Masami." Akatsuki spoke placing a hand on her shoulder.
Another loud crash and sudden yells from within the underground ballroom echoed into the room.
"What the hell is going on?" Ichijo said walking to stand next to the door.
"It must have been a trap. Knowing both of us would be here the hunters would have every opportunity to destroy us." Hanabusa hissed
"The hunters wouldn't dare do such a thing, Hanabusa." Masami walked over to the door and placed her ear on it.
"Stay away from the door." Hanabusa pulled Masami away from the door just when the sound of a large crash rang through the halls.
Masami became frustrated at the fact that he was bossing her around. "We can't just stand here, Hanabusa!" she protested.
"No. Stay here." he commanded.
A few minutes passed and the sounds of screams and crashing increased.
"It sounds like a battle field out there." she said
"We have to wait." Hanabusa said. He had walked back to his seat and sat down, his arms crossed and eyes closed.
"What the hell is he doing?" Masami thought "How can he just sit there?" In that same moment Masami decided to escape the room. "I can't let anyone get hurt..." Her body tensed as she pushed Ichijo and Shiki away from her, her arms pushing through the door.
"MASAMI!" the four male vampires yelled after her.
Masami's legs quickly carried her out through the hallway and onto the second story which overlooked the dance room. What she saw made her body tense up in fear "What the hell..." her hand flew up to her mouth.
The dance floor was covered in blood, dozens of vampire bodies were scattered over the pieces of the broken chandelier. The hunters were fighting what seemed to be level E's an the remaining aristocrats were joining them. Masami noticed Zero and Touya were missing from the hunters fighting downstairs. "Shit..." she swore to herself.
A sudden yowl rang from the entrance door, two dozen more level E's accompanied by, what Masami sensed to be, aristocrats jumped over the rails and launched themselves onto the fighting hunters and vampires.
Masami couldn't watched as two level E's threw themselves at an aristocrat and began biting down on his neck. The sudden movement of an aristocrat and a level E caught her eyes, they were launching themselves at Shinohara with such immense power that the hunter couldn't fight then off, they were backing him up into a corner.
"No..." She grabbed the skirt of her dress and ripped it off until it reached right above her knees. Throwing herself off the railing she took out her guns and began shooting at the attacking Level E's and aristocrats.
"You little bitch!" a red headed Level E came at her.
Masami shot the vampire in the chest and head before turning to shoot the vampires who were attacking Shinohara.
"What happened?" Masami asked looking over Shinohara for any injuries.
"It happened all too quickly, they came through the entrance and started attacking. The hunters that were in the meeting were sure they were sent by Rido and they all scattered outside in hopes to catch him. They left us all here."
Attacking vampires came from both sides. Shinohara and Masami turned back to back and began shooting them down. Masami watched as Hanabusa, Ichijo, Shiki, and Akatsuki arrived, their faces twisted in disgust at the scene before them, and immediately jumped over the railing and began attacking the vampires.
"You ruined your dress." Shinohara pointed out.
"Heh, that doesn't really matter at the moment. These vampires attacking us may be in an alliance with Rido Kuran." she shot five vampires down before noticing a dark haired vampire watching over them silently. "I... That vampire..." Masami couldn't help but tear her gaze away from the battle before her to the vampire who had noticed the purebloods presence and was staring directly at her. "Yumichka..." she hissed under her breath.
Yumichka grinned, lifting his finger to beckon her to him.
Masami growled and ran towards the vampire who disappeared the moment she began to move.
"Masami!" Shinohara yelled after her.
Paying no attention to what was behind her, Masami ran after Shinohara. The scent of blood filled the hallways, her eyes blazing red as the moon shone bright outside once she arrived at the entrance. "Where did he go?" Masami looked around and caught the scent of the vampire. "He's going to the old church."
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Minutes later Masami arrived at the church where she first met Yumichka and Kiku.
"Where are you, Yumichka?" Masami had begun walking around the church, knowing well that he was hidden within. The blood that had filled the hallways and the underground dance floor still remained making it difficult for her to smell her prey.
"The great Masami can't smell her prey...How ironic. Master Rido had mentioned that you were the best when it came to hunting your prey." Yumichka mocked Masami from where he was hiding.
"So I was correct with that being Rido's handy work. I must admit he was clever enough to cloud my senses before sending you out here to lure me to this place. My fiancee and the rest of the vampires would be unable to find me with the scent of blood stuck to them wherever they go." she said loudly glancing around above her to were the sound of his voice had come from.
"Master is a clever man. He will do anything to get to you." his voice had become darker, almost menacing.
"Rido is after Kaname's body but with the aristocrats currently attending Cross Academy and the fact that it happens to be sealed with one of my barriers now, he can't do anything without me." she chuckled darkly.
"That barrier you placed on his frozen body won't last much longer." Yumichka had dropped down from the ceiling to land a few feet away from her. "If he can have you then he could make you remove it."
"His persuasion won't do much if I myself have a barrier." she responded.
Yumichka frowned "A barrier on yourself?"
"It can be done on anything and anyone. He should know that best of all." she hissed back at him.
"No matter. He is the master of persuasion and with the history you both share... I am sure you will fall right into his arms." he grinned.
"Who's helping him?"
"Wouldn't that be a spoiler, Miss Masami."
"Tell me or I'll kill you."
"Didn't you try that before? You were the one that got the wrong end of the stick." he laughed.
"Why did you bring me here?" Masami had become irritated with him.
"Master sent me with a message." he bowed down, making fun of her position.
"Tell me." she commanded, her gun ready to fire if need be.
"Master says "I hope you enjoyed your first soiree back in the open world, Masami. Now that you know I'm here, please do try your best to find me before I sneak myself into your bed without your knowing and kill your fiancee. That barrier won't last long. Let's play hide and seek like we did all those years before and let us see how long it takes you before you realize where I'm hiding. Until then, princess." he finished
With a frown on her pale face Masami couldn't help but shiver at the thought of Rido sneaking into her room and killing Hanabusa. It is a fact that Rido may be stronger than her in persuasion but that didn't mean it was enough to kill her fiancee without her knowing. "Fine, tell him I'll play his game."
Yumichka's smile brightened and he stood straight before he bowed. "Yes, Your Highness." immediately after he said that he jumped up onto an opening alongside the wall where a window had once been. Giving her a last glance he jumped down and disappeared into the night, leaving her in the abandoned church.
Masami followed suit and exited the building before anyone else discovered what she was doing. "I'll keep this a secret..." she thought to herself as she walked in the empty streets of the town. Her thoughts had claimed her senses until a sudden touch of a hand on her back made her jump and placed her gun at the forehead of her attacker.
"You'd shoot your fiancee?" Hanabusa stood there with his hands in the air, a curious expression on his face.
"Sorry, you scared me." she mumbled placing the gun back in it's place.
"You left to follow that vampire, did you catch him?" he moved closer to Masami who just shook her head.
"No, the scent of blood messed up my head so it was hard for me to follow him. I walked around until I became tires and here we are." she lied
"I'm sorry about before. I didn't mean to react in such a way..." he had almost finished his sentence when Masami had placed a finger over his mouth and laid a gentle kiss on his lips.
"It's fine. I understand why you acted that way." she admitted "What happened with Shinohara and the others?"
"It was only a matter of time before the hunters came back and killed the remainder of the attacking vampires. There was one aristocrat we captured but she escaped before we could get anything out of her."
Masami nodded " Let's go back home, maybe there will be more news there."
Hanabusa looked at his fiancee "Your dress is ruined."
She shrugged "It's a dress, another one can be made."
"You're as careless with your clothes as ever." he laughed, grabbing her hand and walking down the street.
"As ever? Really? You need to keep your lovely lips shut or you won't get lucky any time soon." she winked making his eyes widen in alarm.
"I'm sorry!" he said
She laughed "Come on. Let's check the Academy to see if there's any news then we can go back to our room and play a game."
So there ends chapter 15. Again, thank you all for reading and leaving your reviews. Please leave a review, a follow, or a favorite. :3
