Immortal Queen

Chapter 3

Taliyah and Zero walked into the hall and the vampires glared at the vampire hunter. They also started whispering what a Pureblood was doing with a Level D. She glared deadly at all of those vampires who did this and it made them all very afraid as her eyes flashed bright crimson red for a minute. They gulped and lower their gazes with respect.

"Taliyah…" She heard a voice and turned to see Kaien Cross. He looked different, more cheerful and bubbly, with his hair tied back. She smiled brightly and had a tear in her eye. He was very close to her in her upbringing, teaching her about vampire hunters and taking her on missions.

"Uncle!" Taliyah exclaimed and hugged him tightly. He was shocked that she still remembered the time they spent with each other.

"Oh Taliyah, look how you've grown up child. I bet all the boys in England were swooning over you. I missed you my sweet baby!" He exclaimed enthusiastically and loudly whilst giving her a bone crushing hug. Everyone turned around and stared. Zero and Toga sighed whilst shaking their heads; how embarrassing. Yuki and Kaname walked up to them with the youngest Kuran child frowning; why did he shower her with so much love?

"AGH! Oh, Uncle I have missed you too…" Taliyah managed to say. "…But I cannot breathe!" Instantly, he let go of her and laughed nervously. She breathed heavily and giggled.

"I'm sorry!" He bowed down. She shook her head and placed her hands on his arms as he stood up.

"You do not have to bow nor apologise, Uncle. Everything is alright." She stated.

"Your British accent is so adorable; such a cutie." He teased whilst pinching her cheeks. She blushed whilst giggling and blushed. Zero and Kaname smiled at this but Yuki huffed; she was cute too!

"Sounds like Mary Poppins to me." She heard Toga and turned to him.

"Toga Yagari." She stated whilst curtsying and he bowed.

"Princess Taliyah." He smiled and they stood up. "How are you kid?"

"I am fine, how are you?" She asked.

"How is your training going?" He questioned.

"I have been training every day." She said proudly.

"That's our girl!" He exclaimed whilst rustling her hair.

"I see you have met Zero again." Kaien stated and they looked at him. Even Kaname and Yuki were a little shocked.

"Again?" Taliyah and Zero asked in unison.

"Don't you both remember when you were 6 years old? It was a long time ago but you guys must remember. The day at the park…" Kaien said.

Zero and Taliyah looked at each other. They stared at each trying to remember if they met. They both thought and gasped with wide eyes. It was when Taliyah fell in the park and scraped her knee. A Level E was on the loose and was about to attack her. But Zero helped her run off whilst Kaien fought the crazed blood lustful vampire off. The young vampire hunter held her hand and he led her to his house. His family took her in with open arms and ever since then they were best friends.

"It's you!" They exclaimed together and ran up to each other. "I thought I would never see you again." The said in sync and she pouted whist he glared. Yuki and Kaname watched them. The Pureblood Princess was shocked; Kaname and now Zero have known her longer than they have known her.

"Hey stop it!" She exclaimed.

"No you stop it." He replied.

"No YOU stop it!" They went back and forth and were louder each time.

"No YOU stop it!"

"You stop it!"

"Both of you stop it!" Kaien exclaimed and they looked at him whilst pointing at each other.

"He/She started it!" They said in sync and glared at each other. "No you did!"

"Well we're ending out. You both are acting like children." Toga stated.

"Now Zero, apologise to Taliyah, she is the guest and you did argue with her." The Headmaster of Cross academy said.

"I'm sorry." He mumbled quietly.

"Louder so everyone can hear you, Kiryu. Address her as Princess too." Kaname stated and Zero growled at him. Taliyah furrowed her eyebrows together at this.

"Kaname, Zero does not need to raise his tone. He does not need to address me as Princess either. In fact…" She turned to Zero and curtsied with grace. "I should apologise. Forgive me, Zero."

She heard people whispering how sincere, honourable and graceful she was. She smiled at this and stood up.

"It's alright." He stated.

The music started playing and the musicians played The Blue Danube. She instantly knew that this piece was the music she always danced with Kaname to when they were children. He looked up at her and also remembered. She smiled at him gently and he sighed. Yuki noticed this and cleared her throat.

"Kaname, let's dance." Yuki insisted and held his arm. He looked down at Yuki with a nod.

"Alright Yuki." He smiled and led her to the centre of the hall. They then started dancing.

Taliyah watched with a broken heart and tears in her eyes. She felt like she had a lump in her throat which was difficult to swallow. Zero noticed this and sighed with a frown; he knew how she felt.

"Your Highness." She was snapped out of daze and saw a young man with blonde hair and green eyes and she knew who this was. Takumi bowed and she curtsied. He took her hand and kissed it. "May I have this dance?"

She took a deep breath and knew she could not refuse because she wanted to dance with Kaname. The Pureblood smiled and nodded.

"Why yes, Takumi." She answered and he took her hand. He led her to the centre of the hall and he kissed her hand.

They started dancing the Waltz and he kept his eyes on hers with a sweet smile. She didn't smile but stared in his eyes too but her mind was elsewhere. Everytime they danced near Kaname and Yuki, she would look at him and they would share a glance. Aido, Kain Shiki and many others danced with her and she did the same.

The last person left her and Taliyah stood in the middle of the hall. Then a song came on which made her smile and she saw a singer which she really admired. Faye Wong stood there and started singing Eyes on Me and the orchestra played. She giggled whilst blushing and sighed dreamily.

"May I have this dance?" She heard a voice ask and smiled. She turned to see Zero smiling at her.

"Yes, you may…" Taliyah trailed off and he held her hand. He placed his other hand on her waist and she placed her free hand on her shoulder. They started dancing and for some reason she felt free; it was as if they were floating in the air.

They stared into each other's eyes and her smile grew wider. He blushed and winked at her. She giggled whilst shaking her head.

Kaname and Yuki watched Taliyah and Zero dancing together. Kaname sighed and looked down at the floor; he barely interacted with her tonight and it had been 12 years since they saw each other last.

He spun her around and pulled her towards him. She placed her other hand on his shoulder and he placed his other hand on her waist. For some reason she felt this feeling in her heart growing like a flower. It was lovely feeling but it was similar to feeling she felt for Kaname many years ago. But this was very strong and unknown to her; Zero felt it too.

The song stopped and there was a round of applause. They pulled away and he took both her hands and kissed them. His lips felt like soft petals and her hands were cashmere soft. Taliyah blushed whilst fluttering her eyelashes and she curtsied as he bowed.
