Planetary Guardian Escapades
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or Princess Tutu
Sorry I haven't updated in a while I guess I've just been procrastinating due to the holidays but I'll try to get a chapter out for AOS by this weekend because I wont be able to update for a while afterwards due to finals.
This is based on the five word prompt – people lie all the time
Kaname raised his hand to knock on the large set of heavy looking double doors carved out of what looked to be a mix of black tourmaline and onyx. Protective runes were carved in Saturnian silver in the doorway and the amethyst Saturn signia shone proudly in the darkly lit hallway. There was no handle on the doors and he waited patiently for a few seconds in silence before the doors smoothly swung open with ease.
The chambers seemed to be carved out of smooth glossy black marble the vampire hunter noted. On the right wall there was a large fireplace with what looked to be green fire crackling softly, casting haunting shadows around the room. In front of the fireplace was a glass coffee table covered in various notes and papers. A small cauldron filled with various herbs and plants laid on top of the papers. Facing the coffee table and fire place is a white leather couch covered in various dark blue and purple cushions. On the far back wall of the room he saw a large white window seat that looked down onto the back garden with hazy see through light purple curtains covering the glass windows as protection from the harsh light of the sun. Lying precariously on top of the cushions of the window seat is a sketchbook filled with charcoal drawings, the pencil lying next to it on the stained white cushions from the dust of the pencil.
The young purple haired girl sat elegantly on the window seat, hands folded gently in her lap. Her head was turned looking out into the garden below and she barely seemed to notice his presence. Taking her silence as invitation to enter Kaname strode into the room. Sensing his movements she gracefully turned her head towards him, amethyst eyes piercing through the dimly lit room, the only light coming from the crackling fireplace. She gracefully waved her left hand and caused multiple candles all around the room to flicker to life with an unseen power.
"I suppose you have some questions for me don't you?" she broke the stifling silence first.
"Yes I do Yuki-" Kaname began.
"Don't" she cut him off "please don't call me Yuki. My name is Hotaru."
"Hotaru" Kaname began softly "what happened to you?"
"Many things have happened to me since I left that night brother" meeting his eyes with an icy stare.
"Forgive me I'm being rude" her eyes softened and she gestured towards the couch "please take a seat Kaname."
Walking over to the couch he swiftly took a seat.
"Why did you leave?"
Crimson lips twitched at his question.
"I would have thought that it was obvious brother" she began slowly as if mocking him "I left because I didn't want to be there anymore."
"What happened to my sweet innocent Yuki?" he questioned.
"She was devoured alive by a vampire of course" the saturnian girl in front of him stated bluntly not blinking as she caught the barest of winces from the man in front of her.
"Why did you lie to me" he asked.
A bitter laugh bubbled from her lips, amethyst eyes flashing dangerously "I never lied brother."
"Juri and Haruka gave you the name Yuki. I was there, that name was a sign of their love for you but you choose to cast it away. Juri gave her life for you" Kaname stated "that's your real name."
"Perhaps it was what I was given in this lifetime" Hotaru admitted "but it's not my real name."
"Then who are you Hotaru?" the tasted bitter in his mouth as he stared at the woman who had once agreed to give her life to him.
"I've acquired many names over the centuries Kaname" she began to slowly walk towards him like a predator stalking her prey.
"…Demon…"
Another step
"…Witch…"
Another
"…Monster…"
Another
"…Hotaru Tomoe…"
Another
"…Yuki Cross…"
The purple haired girl stood in front of him, a small frown gracing her lips.
"…Yuki Kuran…"
All of a sudden the shadows swarmed over her small form covering her in their dark embrace. A purple light emanated from the dark cocoon before it dissipated seconds later. Hotaru wore a flowing floor length dark purple gown and purple elbow length gloves and shining proudly on her brow was the Saturn insignia glowing with lavender light. Holding out her hand she summoned a glave, a foreboding weapon that was a foot taller than her.
"People lie all the time its human nature" she smiled at him softly "but I never truly lied. Half-truths at times maybe but I never lied. My name is Princess Hotaru Rhea Saturnia crown princess of Saturn the planet of death and rebirth. I am the messiah of silence and guardian of the midnight gate."
"I told you who I am Kaname" the unearthly creature in front of him began "I answered your questions. But I have one for you. Consider it equivalent exchange. Who is the hooded woman that gave up her heart to create the vampire hunter weapons and whose soul haunts the Bloody Rose?"
I don't actually know what happened this one just kind of wrote itself. Originally it was going to be Kaien confront her but I don't know it sounded better having it be Kaname the king of manipulating others accusing her of lies and deceit. Hopefully I can write some more things soon and remember to review guys.
