To Rain Blood

Sorry it took me so long to update… I kinda fell behind on homework because I got sick and as a result have had to spend a lot of time making it up, well, that and I procrastinated. But none the less here is the next chapter.
Zero stood in the target room emptying clip after clip of the Bloody Rose into to targets in front of him. No matter how many times he hit the middle of the target he couldn't seem to get the tension out of his shoulders. He had been approached by Takara and after taking him to a secluded part of the campus she had told him all about the man chasing her. He had already searched the library and found nothing. He couldn't get much out of Takara, only that he was dangerous and that Zero was not to, under any circumstances, try to fight him. She hadn't said much more after that, just sat before him fidgeting like a small creature that was faced with a dangerous predator and only one very precarious escape route. Looking back he figured that he should be grateful that Takara had trusted him with the information that she had. He only wished that she had told him more; how was he supposed to take this guy down when he didn't know anything about him? Then again, that might be the very reason that she didn't tell him anything else. If nothing else she was smart and she knew that if she made the mistake of telling him too much he would most defiantly try to come up with some sort of attack plan…
Aidou started at his ceiling in despair. He wanted desperately to keep Takara safe from Pyrrhus but he had no clue as to how to accomplish his goal. She would barely give him any information about the man much less what he's like or how he fights. He could understand her desire to keep others safe but honestly, he didn't understand how she could expect him and to sit back and watch everything unfold. He refused to sit idly by while she let herself get captured or worse, killed. For the short time he had known her he had come to care deeply for her. She depended on him to a degree and it made him feel important and needed. He only ever seemed to be good for carrying out orders and getting smacked around by Kaname. Takara had given him someone to lavish his attentions on, nothing like the exaggerated attentions that he lavished onto the day class girls but instead the attentions that he kept to himself in order to keep his image intact. He knew that it was petty to worry so much about such a little thing but he had always had his image to fall back on. No matter how badly Kaname treated or how many times Ruka insulted him he knew that every evening there would be a swarm of girls who were all fighting to catch a glimpse of him. Takara seemed to be the only female who could see the real him, she looked passed his player attitude and broke through his defensive walls worming her way deep into his heart, becoming one of the most important people in his life; he'd be damned if he allowed anyone to hurt her in anyway as long as there was a chance for him to stop it…
Takara watched as the water rippled out and away from the hand she had rested on its surface. It was so peaceful even with the impending danger that threatened its only company. She knew it was silly to think that the water knew anything about her situation and had some sort of view on all of it. It was times like this that she wished that she could just melt into her element becoming part of a body of water and never having to worry about losing anyone or where she would be sleeping the next night. She wouldn't have to spend most of her day running and constantly looking over her shoulder to make sure that she wasn't being followed; instead she could be carefree drifting where ever the currents took her enjoying the calm and peaceful nature of water, her only company being the fishes and amphibians who happened to inhabit the area she was residing in. Then again she would miss Zero and Aidou, sure they could be annoying and over protective but in a way that's the reason she liked them so much. She knew that they would probably do just about anything to keep her safe and that fact kept her awake at night. She had long ago decided that it was impossible to beat Pyrrhus; she was content with the thought of simply evading him and living her life as close to normal as she could manage. In fact that way of life had served her well for many years. It had been awhile since anyone had cared for her and even though she missed it when she was lying alone in some empty room in a hotel at the edge of whatever town she was inhabiting at the time she figured that it was better not to involve anyone else. The problem was that without even realizing it, she had let Zero and Aidou in to her world. She hadn't meant to grow attached but it had happened and she didn't know how to handle it. She couldn't leave because she knew that Pyrrhus would still hurt them in an attempt to find where she was headed to. And she couldn't let them help her either because she knew that would result in their certain death. The only option it seemed was to finally face the man who had chased her across the globe and haunted her dreams for so many years. She knew that Aidou would be furious if he learned of her plan but she couldn't think of any other way to save him and Zero…
Pyrrhus sat at the desk writing a letter to his dear Takara. He had finally found her hiding place and was preparing for her capture. He was determined to catch her this time, he would not allow her to slip through his fingers this time, luckily he had found a sure fire way of keeping her from running and forcing her to confront him at the same time. He looked down at the letter he had composed with a sadistic grin. It contained a threat that if she tried to evade him or run in any way the blonde and the silver haired boys would pay the price. He intended to deliver the message along with a meeting place and time. He would also deliver letters to each of the mentioned boys informing him that they had in fact failed to protect her as they had been so intent on doing. While Takara had only noticed his presence a short while ago he had in fact located her soon after she had entered the academy. He had watched her relationships grow and devised a plan to capture her based on the information he had gathered. His eyes gleamed evilly as he sealed his note to her in an envelope and sealed with his personal wax seal, he didn't want her to have any doubt about who had sent it to her. He stood up and walked to the door turning off the lights as he walked out to set his plan in motion…
I hope you liked it… I'm sorry if it wasn't very good I haven't really written anything in a while.
