Zero jolted awake. He’d instantly realized the he’d
fallen asleep on his new ridiculously comfy bed… And slept
all night long, which was extremely unusual for him. It was morning
again, only small rays of sunshine seeping in through the dark
curtains. He turned over, glancing at the alarm clock on the night
stand. It was 9am; he never slept that long! Cursing under his
breath, he reluctantly left the comfort of his new bed. He padded
across the room to where his belongings had been piled neatly in
the corner and threw on the first shirt and pair of pants he found.
He didn’t bother unpacking, he’d do that
later….
Suddenly, something occurred to him; it was really quiet. Shouldn’t he be hearing something from Yuki’s monitor? He slowly approached the listening device, bringing it up to his ear to listen… but only the very slight hum of the monitor itself met his ears. No sounds of breathing, no rustling, no voices… nothing.
Setting the device back down with an aggravated breath, Zero ran a hand through his silvery mess of hair on his head before he promptly left his bedroom and made his way across the hall, knocking on Yuki’s door a bit firmly as to make sure his presence was heard. As he waited for a response, he silently urged himself to calm down. He knocked again impatiently and a bit harder. Just because she didn’t answer, didn’t mean that she was missing, he told himself.
As he thought, still no reply. “Hey, I’m coming in,” he warned before opening Yuki’s door and peering into her empty room. He sighed heavily in agitation. He wasn’t in the mood for a wild goose chase… ‘Come to think of it, what time do most humans usually wake in the mornings anyway,’ he wondered. Maybe she was just awake, up and about already… Eating breakfast perhaps? Although the foreboding feeling in the pit of his stomach was telling him otherwise.
He made his way down to the kitchen table, but no one was there besides a few maids tidying up. ‘Where the hell else could she be?’
After nearly an hour of wondering about the manor, searching every inch of the place for Yuki and asking every servant and maid he came across, Zero was beginning to panic. He mentally scolded himself for being so stupid. First day on the job and he’d already lost his charge. He knew he shouldn’t have accepted this ridiculous deal. He was a hunter, not a body guard! Sure, he did similar side jobs here and there, but he’d never worked as a personal body guard a day in his life. Just because he was quick and sneaky and good in combat, didn’t mean he was cut out for chasing after a stupid little girl that obviously didn’t know better than to wonder off…
Zero found himself searching the gardens that engulfed nearly the entire Kuran residence. Following one of the many winding paths that toured the gardens, Zero had rounded a corner and bumped into a blonde-haired, blue-eyed male vampire that seemed to look just as distressed as Zero did.
“Have you seen the Mistress?” Zero inquired, eyeing the other male suspiciously and brushing off his clothes as if they had acquired cooties from touching the vampire.
“You mean, Lady Yuki?” He other male paled, laughing nervously. “Well, you see…” he chose his words wisely, “she and I were doing her studies and I, eh… got distracted.” He admitted timidly. “She may have wondered off to the outer gardens…”
“Outer gardens,” Zero echoed skeptically.
“You know,” he supplied, “The gardens OUTSIDE the wall.”
Zero went pale, grasping the vampire in front of him by the collar, almost lifting him from the ground. “You mean she left the house?!” The blonde shortly nodded and Zero virtually threw him down, as he raced to find the lost girl.
‘I swear, if she gets herself killed…’ Zero didn’t finish his thought, reaching the outskirts of the town bustling with people. ‘Better yet, if she isn’t dead when I find her, I’ll do it myself.’ He thought wryly, eyes scanning the wondering groups of people. “If I was a stupid, ignorant little girl,” Zero thought to himself, “Where would I go?”
~*~
Yuki had visited a pet shop, a bakery, and a few boutiques but soon found herself lost... She’d been wondering around a rather shady part of the town for about half an hour and she wasn’t sure of her way back.
Yuki’s heart raced, her surroundings frightening and unfamiliar. Everything seems to wind and spin and seemed to acquire an odd, grey appearance. She wished with all her heart Kaname would save her somehow…
Yuki gasped in alarm, a hand suddenly on her shoulder. A man snagged her off the street and pulled her into the dark alley. Yuki was confronted by the thug of a man in front of her, a pocket knife in his hand. Crashing back to reality, she was frozen with fear… fear of what he planned to do to her. He looked her up and down appreciatively.
“Here, take my money,” Yuki pleaded, timidly held out her coin purse but he just chucked in amusement in her face. She blinked in bewilderment at his reaction.
“I don’t want your money, doll face.” He grinned menacingly, revealing the point of his canines, “However, your blood… I’ll take every last drop you have to offer.”
Yuki started to scream but the vampire’s hand muffled her cries before they had a chance to escape, his blade pressed against her jaw. He backed her up into the brick wall of the alley, forcing her head to the side for access to her sweet, delicate throat.
Yuki clenched her eyes shut and braced herself for the wrath of his fangs… But it never came. After a few moments, Yuki forced her eyes open to see the crazed vampire staring wide-eyed back at her before his eyes turned vacant and he fell against her, sliding down to the ground. Tears threatening to fall as she stared down at the corpse of the beast in wonder and confusion. And then she noticed the growing blood stain in the back of her attacker’s jacket. He’d been shot. But… She hadn’t heard a gunshot.
Zero approached her with determination in his step, fully ready to give her a piece of his mind. “You idiot! Do you want to die?? Are you not aware how dangerous it is to go out alone?? I can’t believe you’d-” Zero stopped short when he reached her and realized his words were falling on deaf ears, as she was just staring stupidly at the evaporating corpse at her feet as if in a trance, tears trailing down her cheeks. He’d lost his resolve, his chest tightening. She was in shock.
Slowly, her tearful eyes lifted to focus on Zero hovering over her. He’d almost dropped the gun in his hand as she threw herself into him, sobbing hysterically. Zero gawked awkwardly down at her, her arms tightly wrapped around his torso. Sobs wracked her entire body and she was trembling against him. He scratched his head, timidly attempting to gently pry the girl off of him. He looked around wondering if her wailing had caught anyone’s attention yet. He’d used a silencer on his gun as to not cause a commotion, but she was quickly thwarting his efforts.
A bit panicked, Zero used his knowledge as a hunter to pinch a certain spot on her neck and render the girl unconscious. He caught her limp body as she collapsed before she could collide with the ground. He then heaved her over his shoulder and made their way back to the mansion, ignoring the strange looks and whispers he got from the passerbys.
About two thirds of the way home, Yuki began to stir. Her eyes fluttered open, her brain slowly working to process the way her blurry surroundings swayed and it felt as though… she was being carried. She then noticed, she’d been staring at the ground, virtually hanging upside down. She slowly registered her predicament of being throw over her stranger of a bodyguard’s shoulder. She began to struggle. “Put me down, put me down!” she demanded, squirming and making it incredibly difficult for Zero to continue carrying her.
“Fine.”
With that, Yuki was ruthlessly thrown forward off his shoulder, her rear end hitting the ground with a pained “oompf.” She winced, recovering and rubbing her sore bottom. Her limbs her numb and tingly as the feeling began to return to them from being upside down and hung over his shoulder. Yuki’s gaze narrowed at Zero as he hovered, eyeing her expectantly. “What did you do to me?” she accused, brown eyes glaring daggers.
“W-what??” Zero was a bit taken aback. “I didn’t do anything!” he defended. “You wondered off and I rescued you! You’re lucky I came when I did.”
Her skeptic eyes silently challenged him.
He ran a hand through his bangs and sighed, “I uh… used a pressure point to apply pressure to the artery in your neck… which caused your blood pressure to suddenly drop, resulting in you passing out,” he admitted matter-of-factly, as if it were common knowledge and no big deal. He was now scrubbing a spot on his gun as if uninterested and avoiding her murderous eyes that he could feel burning into him.
After a moment, she sighed in defeat, feeling rather exhausted. She abandoned her glare. “Well,” she said, “thank you… for saving me, that is.”
Zero adverted his gaze to her, but her eyes were fixed on the dirt and her face downcast. He didn’t really know what was going on in that head of hers, but… he couldn’t say he was particularly interested. He offered her his hand and she peered up at him questioningly, a bit hesitant. “Can you stand?”
She nodded and accepted his hand, heaving her to her feet. He escorted her back to the manor, neither of them uttering a word. Yuki risked a glance up at her silver-haired savor as she trailed behind him. She wasn’t too sure they’d gotten off to a great start after all. Just looking at him made her feel a bit agitated. She guessed she resented him a bit due to the fact that she would no longer have any privacy. She really only pretended to be happy about having a body guard for Kaname’s sake… The whole spiel about feeling safer was mostly just to comfort and please him and his wishes. It wasn’t necessarily Zero’s fault that she didn’t particularly like him hanging around though... She supposed he was just doing his job.
They’d finally made it back to the manor, much to Yuki’s relief at seeing the familiar outline of her home in the distance. She’d gotten her spur of the moment adventure out of the way and she was fairly sure she wouldn’t be pulling a stunt like that again for a while… Just relaxing sounded great at the moment.
Yuki rushed ahead of Zero, beating him to the house. He stared after her in exasperation at her energy that he knew he was going to have a hard time keeping up with.
Suddenly, something occurred to him; it was really quiet. Shouldn’t he be hearing something from Yuki’s monitor? He slowly approached the listening device, bringing it up to his ear to listen… but only the very slight hum of the monitor itself met his ears.
