Chapter 13
Zero woke up to smelling food in his room and saw Lily walking out the room. The room was filled with sun light and Zero felt way better than he did before he went to sleep. Lily came back in the room with a basket full of clothes. He watches her with one eye open as she puts his clothes away. Once she was done she walks over to Zero and check his fever. Zero grabs her hand and rose. He pulls her in and stared into her eyes. She looks like she was dead on the inside. "Why look like you are dead from the inside. I notice it last night." Zero said as he leans in closer to her face. Her face had fewer bandages around her eye. "It's because I feel like I am. I just had gotten use to being around people who has good hearts." Lily said as she looks into Zero eyes. Zero rolled his eyes at her answer.
"How is your eye healing so fast vampire?" Zero ask as he took off his shirt. Lily places the shirt in the basket that she just empty out. "You have been bed written for three weeks." Lily responds with a sad tone. Zero felt a little dizzy as he stood up. "Do you wish for me to draw you a bath?" Lily asks as she tried to help Zero to his feet. He pushes her away and fell back on the bed. "Make the water really hot this time." Zero demanded. Lily filled the tub with hot water and came back with wet sleeves. "I didn't know that you wanted to take a bath too." Zero said as he sat up when he saw her sleeves. "Lord Kaname forbids me to roll up my sleeves." Lily said as she pulls out a solid white kimono out of the closet.
Zero slams Lily right threw the bathroom door and right through the glass of the shower. "Fight back or are you that weak for a vampire?" Zero demanded as he slams his fist into the wall next to Lily head. "Kiryuu she is not allow to fight back unless Kaname give her orders or in training." Scarlett said out of nowhere. "Why are you here and where is my gun?" Zero said as he lets go of Lily. "I'm here to set you straight so come with me. Your gun is in Lily bedroom. She wanted to keep it safe for you until you wake up again." Scarlett said as she enters the bathroom. Scarlett started to smile as Zero came closer to her. "If you don't want to see your lover to get hurt again you need to keep him on a shorter rope." Scarlett said as she was walking away. "Get back here pureblood-" Zero said before he was cut off. Zero saw Scarlett moving past him and picks up Lily by the throat.
Scarlett puts Lily back on her feet and moved behind her while smiling. "Hunter would you like to know why Kaname forbids her doing almost everything. She is only allowed to do child work for many reasons." Scarlett said before biting into Lily neck. Scarlett eyes turn red as she drinks Lily blood. Zero saw Scarlett hand rubbing Lily chest and she frown. "She is still young her breast will get bigger soon so don't worry." Scarlett said as she rips Lily maid uniform top off. Lily was wearing a full corset with roses and lilies over it. Zero saw more than her corset he saw so many scars covered her chest and arms. "Yuki and Kaname are waiting for you both in his study. I would knock before you go in." Scarlett said as she laughs while walking off.
Lily and Zero enter into Kaname study and saw Aido covered in blood. Yuki was wiping off the dried blood on Aido face while Kaname was sitting behind his desk. Yuki saw Zero and quickly gave him a big hug almost knocking them to the floor. "I'm so happy that you're finally awake Zero." Yuki said with a big smile. "Yuki it's good to see you again." Zero said with a gentle tone as he places a hand on Yuki cheek. Kaname still haven't even look up when Zero was touching Yuki he kept reading papers in his hands. "Lily Yori will need those blood tablets and pouches until she is ready to become a full vampire." Kaname said as he signs a piece of paper. Lily looks at Zero before she left him behind.
"When did Yori become a vampire? Why the fuck are you turning her into one of you beast?" Zero yelled at Kaname as he pushes Yuki behind him. "Have you forgot Kiryu that you are one of us too? Or do you really think you can stop turning into one of us?" Kaname said without looking up at Zero. "Zero you don't know what you're talking about. I beg Aido and Kaname to turn her so I wouldn't lose my only best friend from blood lost." Yuki said as she tried not to cry. Kaname then got up and went to Yuki. He wipes away the tears when suddenly Yuki was pulled away from him. "Zero what are you doing?" Yuki ask as she went back to Kaname side. "How can you love such a beast?" Zero said as he stares at Kaname.
"Zero don't bring Kaname in the middle of this. He had a good reason to turn Yori into a vampire." Yuki said as she steps in front of Kaname. "How do you know that? He is just playing you just like he does with everyone else. Your just one of his pawns just like the rest." Zero said as he steps closer to her. "You don't know what is going on or what is happening." Yuki said as she raise her voice. "And you do?" Zero said as got even closer. "Yori got hurt because of the job she took on for you. She did it so you wouldn't fall to a level E and die." Yuki said before she slaps him across the face. "That's why I summon you here Kiryu. It took Yori and her team two weeks getting the one that killed your family. I think you need to see what they found. I hope you find what you're looking for. Scarlett is waiting for us in the dungeons." Kaname said as he opens the door.
The three of them found their way to the cell Scarlett was in and it was drench in blood. Zero couldn't believe what he saw chained to the stone walls. There was two bodies chain to the walls. One had Yori Sais knife in their shoulder while the older just had cuts here and there. One with the knife looks up and smiled. "It's been a long time Zero." A female voice said. Zero went pale as a ghost when she spoke. Her long white hair was stain with blood as well her kimonos. "Zero you must drink her blood. I don't want you to fall to a level E. Please I don't want to lose you." Yuki said as she started crying. Zero pulls her in and comforts her. "Don't cry Yuki." Zero said when he pulled back.
Zero walks towards the woman who had turn him into a vampire with such hate in his eyes. Scarlett started to laugh when Shizuka fell to the floor when her chains broke. "You cannot kill me Zero." Shizuka said as she chuckles. "Your right but I can." Scarlett said as hits Shizuka head with her arm causing her face to hit the floor. "Better drink up hunter before I kill her." Scarlett said as she pulls Shizuka hair to lift her head up. Scarlett removes Shizuka hair from her neck for Zero so he can drink Shizuka blood. Zero slowly leans in to her neck and bite down hard. Two minutes pasted by when Zero pulls back and that's when Scarlett ran her arm right thru Shizuka heart. Scarlett pulls her arm out of her body and moment's later Shizuka body was gone. Shizuka kimonos fell on Zero. Right before her body disappear Zero saw a tear going down Shizuka face. Zero got want he always wanted and yet he still has all that anger inside him.
"I thought Shizuka killed him that night." Zero said as he toss Shizuka clothes a side. "Ruka and Kain found him while the others fought Shizuka. He didn't put up much of a fight from what I was told." Scarlett said as she licks off the blood from her arm and hand but it ended up disappearing with Shizuka body. "He been asleep for two days now and Kaname said when he wakes up is when we will deal with him." Yuki said as Zero walks up to her. "Scarlett bring Lily and Yori to my study. Yuki I will hope you will forgive me for working so much this week. Meet me where we last talk tonight." Kaname said as he left the cell leaving Scarlett, Yuki, and Zero together.
Scarlett left the room minutes later leaving Yuki and Zero alone in the cell. "I only did that because you ask me to." Zero said as he pulls Yuki into his arms. "Zero." Yuki said before Zero started kissing her. Zero pushes Yuki away after a few seconds of kissing Yuki. He quickly pins her to the cold stone wall and bite down hard on her neck. Moments later he tosses Yuki to the floor while blood dripping from his lips. "I thought you were better than that Yuki. Why couldn't I be enough for you? Your nothing to him. He is just toying with your feelings. Do you really believe that he truly love someone like you? A human female teenager that acts like nothing is wrong?" Zero said as Yuki stood up. "You don't know what all is going on. I love Kaname Zero and yes he does love me. He is the only one that is willing to help me to remember my past and I'm going to let Kaname turn into a vampire. I don't care what you say about him. Everyone been nice to you and trying to get along with you but you're so full of hate. I'm sorry that it came to this. If you wish a different future then just let father know and father and Kaname will do something about it." Yuki told Zero.
A minute went by and no one spoke when Zero steps towards Yuki. Yuki couldn't quit crying so she took off and ran to the place where her and Kaname secretly meet to have some alone time. Yuki found the stone bench that Kaname place there and lay on her back. She cried herself to sleep even when the sun was shining down on her. Next thing Yuki knew that she woke up to a loud snap sound. She got up and arm herself with Artemis but lower it once Kaname walk towards her. "Nice to see training with Scarlett is paying off." Kaname said before he kisses Yuki. Yuki hands the Artemis to Kaname and it transit form once more. "It looks different and darker from last time." Yuki said as she stares at Artemis. "Because last time we both were holding it and this is Artemis true form." Kaname said as plays with the metal rod. Artemis was a pitch black in color. There were smaller bats going down the staff. The blade that looks like a bat was now more detailed into it and the thorns were still their but slightly bigger.
"Artemis was the last vampire hunter weapon I made before they started to attack us with the weapons. It was pasted down in the Kuran clan ever since. When they killed Scarlett mate she started taking back the weapons. Some were destroyed, some lost, a lot still in the hands of the hunters, and very few found their way back to the Kuran clan. I made these weapons for the humans against bad vampires but I now know it was a terrible mistake letting the humans have them." Kaname said as rubs the design on Artemis. Kaname gave Artemis back to Yuki and it turn back to a silver metal rod. Yuki look upset the whole time and Kaname knew Zero had to do with it. "Yuki your leg, what happen to it?" Kaname said as Yuki puts away Artemis. "Zero kissed me and he drank my blood. When he did that he push me on the floor. I guess I cut myself and didn't even know. I was so upset that I ran here." Yuki said as she showed Kaname the bite marks.
Suddenly trees disappear when Yuki told Kaname what Zero did. Yuki started to get scared and trip right into Kaname. "Yuki don't be scared I will never hurt you." Kaname said as he wraps his arms around Yuki. "I know you will never hurt anyone for no reason Kaname." Yuki said as she looks up at Kaname. "Yuki you are not telling me everything that happen down at the cell." Kaname said as he pulled back a little. "I told Zero something and now he will hate me forever." Yuki said as she sat down on the bench. "What did you say?" Kaname quickly asks Yuki. It took Yuki a few moments before she told Kaname. "I told Zero that I love you and you love me back. Also I said that I would let you turn me into a vampire." Yuki told Kaname. Her heart beat was rising at a fast rate.
Kaname smiled as he stood in front Yuki. He gentle laid Yuki on the bench and whispers into her ear. "If I turn you into a vampire you still have a choice to be with him or with me. Once you choose me a second time it will be for life. Starting tonight you will remember your past and everything that happen in it. Are you ready to become a creature of the night?" Kaname whispers into Yuki ear. Yuki heart was beating even faster than before and nodded her head yes. Kaname licks Yuki neck in the area he is going to bite her in. Kaname places his fangs in the middle of her neck and applied pressure until he heard a gun being pulled back. "Zero do you think I came alone tonight?" Kaname said as a few vampires' jumps out of the trees. There was Scarlett, Aido, and Seiren jumps in front of Zero. "You shall not pass." Seiren said loud and clear.
"Hunter you have no clue to who is Yuki really is. I know for a fact that she will choose Kaname again over you once again when she is awakens. I have the power to see the future and if I was you I look at someone else she is already taken." Scarlett said as she held Cross vampire hunter sword.
"Kaname what is going on here?" Yuki ask as all eyes were on her. "Yuki, do you wish to become one of us? Do you wish to have knowledge of you past? If you do then let Kaname turn you now. If you wish to know more about the past before you were born then you need to become one of us and I shall hand over my title to you." Scarlett said as she steps closer to Zero. "Yuki I wanted to share this moment with only you but now it will be shared with those who are here." Kaname said as he steps up to Yuki. Kaname places Yuki in his arms and place his head down to her neck. Kaname bite down very hard on Yuki neck and she cried out in pain. Yuki tried to push Kaname away but he pulls Yuki closer to him as he bit down harder on her neck.
"Kaname, that's enough." Scarlett told Kaname. Kaname got too carried away and lost control for a moment or two. When Kaname pulled back Yuki couldn't stand on her own and Kaname caught here in time. He lays her on the bench and bit his wrist to fill his mouth full of his blood. With a finger Kaname opens Yuki mouth a little and started kissing her. Drops of blood went down Yuki's mouth as Kaname pours blood into her mouth. Suddenly Yuki aura change quickly.
Yuki attack Kaname and bit down hard on his neck. A minute later Yuki looks up at those who surrounded her and Kaname. Her mouth covered in blood and she stood back up as she stares at Scarlett. "Yuki is the pure blood princess." Scarlett said as she lowers her weapon. Zero points his gun towards Kaname and Yuki stood in front of Kaname. "Scarlett is right Zero. I love Kaname and I want to be at his side until I die. I remember everything before I was turn into a human. Kaname always took care of me and not once he hurt me unlike you. Put down your bloody rose and go back to the dorm." Yuki said as she walks closer to Zero. Zero redirected his gun to Yuki's head and place his finger on the trigger. "Zero don't just let it go." Aido tried to pled with Zero. "You pure bloods love toying with people lives. I will not stand for it no more." Zero said as a tears streaming down his cheeks. "I'm sorry Yuki but I'm a vampire hunter and I will kill you before the night is over." Zero said as he cocked his gun and fired.
