Chapter -11-
Kiryuu Zero is a good Hunter
"Uugh…" Zero&nbs p;groaned, a lot of feelings washing threw him; angry at h imself for allowing it
to be in thi s miserable state, and angry at the Noble&nbs p;that stood stupidly, arrogantly in front
of him; what an idiot! Could she not tell that he was out on a hunt?& nbsp;'Stupid Vampires'
He, of course, also felt hurt and numb all o ver; his body was sore and felt very heavy and non-responsive, his head throbbed and ached painfully, causing his vision to lose its focus&nb sp;
now and then. But most importantly Zero was restrained,&nb sp;wary, and cautious; for he knew
that any minute now the three hiding level Es are not going to& nbsp;be hiding anymore. He could
sense them so dangerously close; they were probably  ;just four meters away from where he
and the Noble were, hiding in the nearby, abando ned buildings.
Zero was finally on his feet standing partially straight, glancing everywhere but&nb sp;at the Noble
in front of him. That seemed to irritate her, and she scowled at him in anger.
"Well, Hunter, I really don't like to waste time, do yo u know why I'm attacking you?" Ruka
bell owed placing a hand on her elegant hip arrogantly.
"&ac irc;€¦" Zero just raised a delicate, s ilver eye brow at the Noble Vampire, ser iously? He didn't
careless why she woul d attack him, he just wished he could attack her back, but
unfortunately for him, and especially him, he had to abide and follo w the Hunter Association
rules fully. It was for obvious reasons, he was a Vam pire and no matter how much they tried < br> to, they could never treat him the same as a Hunter, betrayal was expected from him and
also not tolerated at all. And one of these rules is to&nbs p;not lay a hand on a Vampire that has
not been placed on the list, that's not all, but the Hunters are also expected to pro tect the
Vampires as much as the Vampires are to protect the Hunters; It's how they have been living
for centu ries now.
In Zero's own opinion, this did not work at all; his parents were good Hunters, they went by
the rules, they protected Vampires, they killed the ones only on the list, and they were one
of the best Hunting families on Earth. Zero scoffed bitterly at the thought, look where that
has gotten them, butchered by the "girlfriend" of the "listed" Vampire.&nb sp;But Zero still was not
about to  ;break the rules not only because of the Hunter Association, but&nb sp;also, mostly,
because he wanted to honor the&n bsp;memory of his parents and their believes.  ;
"Hey, level-D, are you listening to what I'm saying?"&nb sp;Ruka waved her hand in front of the < br> dazed off hunter.
Amethyst eyes finally looked up at her questioningly, but still not so interested, his hand
moving to the inside of his pocket. Ruka's frown deepened.
"I think you know that …"
Zero wasn't hearing the&nbs p;Noble's voice anymore; he could only hear the&nb sp;rasped panting that
was getting closer and higher&ac irc;€¦
"…And Kaname-sama has already…"
'†¦Huff…huh..hah…'
"…Everyone else think youâ&eu ro;¦"
'…Humph…hmm …arghhh…'
"†¦Don't think they are in their righâ& euro;¦WOOAH!" Ruka screeched gasping and cutting her
sentence when the Hunter rai sed his left hand suddenly grasping her left shoulder tigh tly
before throwing her aside, and pulling his Bloody Rose swiftly, aiming straig ht ahead and…
BANG! BANG!&nbs p;BANG!
Three shots pierced the night sky but, more importantly, the level-E&n bsp;that was now in the
exact same  ;spot the Noble was in a second ago.
"Wha&acir c;€¦" The question was not completely phrased as the&nbs p;Noble stared at the level-E that
was& nbsp;turning to ashes now. She was in total shock, so the Hunt er was actually on a Hunt!?
"I-I thought you wouldn't…be allowed to hunt&nb sp;anymore…" Ruka stuttered in confusion
looking at the hunter then back at  ;the ashes, fear flashed in her eyes, what a sad ending a
vampire has.
"W ell…I…huf…am"&n bsp;Zero replied panting heavily, the sudden, quick movements causing his
fatigued body to& nbsp;suffer more. He sighed tiredly and looked up at the two vampires that
have obviously been looking for a meal, and they were probably interested in the&nbs p;Noble
blood to Zero's left.
Zero was shocked to  ;see the Noble move in a fast movement, dashi ng towards the level –E
i n front of her; she delivered quick strikes and engaged herself in a stirring fight&nb sp;with the
other Vampire.
Zero just&nbs p;accepted the help with no commentary before  ;moving toward his prey.
-~~~LINE~~~-
Takuma glanced behind him making sure that the two Nobles were still&nb sp;following him. Shiki
and Rima were both moving fast, but Takuma was still moving faster; he was ve ry worried
although he didn't show it. ' Why? Why did Ruka have to ruin everything?' How arrogant o f
her to think that she was helping&nbs p;Kaname when she was absolutely not, but in& nbsp;fact she was
ruining his plans completely&nbs p;by trying to murder a very important fragment.
Takuma's thoughts were interrupted;  ;he faintly could sense the familiar scents o f the Noble
and the Hunter andâ€& brvbar; other vampires? Takuma glanced back at his two friends giving them a
meaningful node; they returned it back, level-Es.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG! BANG!&nb sp;BANG! BANG! BANG!
Zero's gunshots pierced the level-E harshly, turning the level-E into  ;ashes. He was standing
on top of the&nb sp;roof of one of the ruined buildings; he had ended up there after the long
chase encounter between him and the level-E. Zero frowned sensing the Fourth level-E
final ly getting closer; he glanced up looking for the Noble and the&n bsp;level-E.
Ruka was on the roof of&nbs p;the opposite building, she was standing as grace fully as ever like
she didn't just have a fight, which she technically didn't; the Noble&nbs p;was obviously using her
powers, for the&nb sp;level-E was on the floor writhing in pain. But she hadn't killed him yet; she
could not, not without a Hunter weapon. The Noble looked at the Hunter, gesturing,
pointing with her&n bsp;head towards the squirming level-E.
Zero frowned at her; he then looked at the level-E, so many emotions washed through him,
anger, despair, sympathy, understanding and then…determination. The Hun ter raised the
arm holding the gun slowly.
BANG! BANG! BANG !
One day it will be him. Zero closed his eyes, and turned from the view of the flying ashes.
Ruka was looking at him all this time. 'Is&nb sp;that sadness I see in his eyes?' The Noble wondered
studying the Hunter carefully.
The two Vampires descended gracefully from the buildings into the narrow  ;alley; both in
deep thought and not bothering to chat. Zero glanced up first and suddenly! The level-E has
gotten too clo se to them and Zero was in such deep&nbs p;thoughts that he didn't notice it.
" S o, back to our previous conve…Aaaug h…" Ruka's speech was cut for the second time that
night, and for the same reason too; Zero had pu shed her out of the way, one thing was
d ifferent this time though; neither Zero nor his gun were&nb sp;ready, plus his muscles were
fatigued from the events tonight, and he could only move fa st enough to push the talkative
Noble&n bsp;out of the way.
"…Uuugghh& acirc;€¦" Zero groaned in pain; he was pinned to a wall, the level-E's claws piercing
through him; the level-E's right hand penetrated his left shoulder pinning him to the wall,
while his abdomen was stabbed by the level-E's other ha nd.
"…Haah…" Zero&nb sp;gasped at the different, painful, burning sensa tions running up and down
his body, but he didn't have to release the air he just inhaled before gasping again  ;in both
pain and surprise.
The level-E just pierced his neck savagely, ripping his dedicate, soft skin apart before
feeding eage rly on the Hunter. Zero shut his eyes tightly and tried to ignore the pain,
sc ratch that, the pains, the different pains that ran throu gh him as the beast started drawing
large amounts of his blood and gulping it down selfishly. The Hunter tried to&nbs p;focus on his
shaking hand that was moving toward his gun's location.
Zero's eyes shut open when he felt a thin, light hand going past his jacket and into his inner
pocket, grabbing and pulling Bloody Rose. Ruka.
The&n bsp;level-E was so lost in his meal that  ;he didn't notice the Noble getting closer; he&nbs p;only felt
hard circular metal on the back of his head, and…
BANG!
Ashes.
Th ump!
Ruka threw the gun in disgust after shooting the mad level-E in the he ad. She glanced at
the Hunter. He was a complete mess; he had slid down now sitting&n bsp;on the floor, dazed,
supporting his back against the wall. The smell of his unique blood was everywhere, Ruka
sniffed it, you can't describe it as delicious, but it was definitely different, exciting, thrilling; it
was a mixture of everything, Human blood, Hunter blood,& nbsp;Vampire blood, maybe even
pureblood? And&nbs p;there was something else unique about it th at she couldn't quite put her
finger on it. It had someth ing to do with his Hunter scents, his Hunter blood was boiling
with so much mo re than any other red cell in his body.& nbsp;
Zero gasped and clutched his middle where the level-E had stabbed him, he groaned and
threw his head back to the wall, his eyes shutting tightly as the pain increased q uickly,
searing from his middle to all parts of his body, his fingers loosened its grip around his
middle; he was starting to daze off, his eyes fluttered and his body shivered slightly as the
crimson&nbs p;blood seeped out of him freely and in large amounts. He tried to figh t the
hollowness and blackness that was trying to seep through him, but his strength was leaving
him gradually. Finally, his eyelids covered his blurry vision, his body went limp, and he
passed out.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG!
The three Noble heads bolted upward following the sound of the gun shut, i t was the
Hunter's gun shut, and they all recognized it very well, but that's not it! Blood, lots of blood
was being&n bsp;spelled. Takuma increased his speed if possible, and the two Nobles followed.
Kiryuu Zero's blood was filling the atmosphere with its hea vy smell.
Finally they reached a long, narrow alley that seemed pretty abandoned, b ut they could feel
the presence of the Noble, and smel l of the other's blood getting stronger. They were
getting closer, and it actually scared the blonde of what&nbs p;they were about to discover.
"There a re no more level –Es" Rima stat ed in confusion.
"Kiryuu-kun was on a hu nting mission after all," Takuma said reminding&nb sp;her.
"Uggh…damn it!"
The&nb sp;Three heads turned to where the familiar s ound of the fourth noble came from.
"Ruka!" Takuma yelled as he dashed to her presence, Rima and Shiki right behind him.
They were ha lf way through the narrow alley when the y saw the horrific scene that was
placed in front of them; Ruka, covered in crimson blood was partially standing as she
supported the Hunter, obviously, trying to make him stand, the Hunter&nb sp;in the other hand
was actually tryin g to stand, his eyes seemed unfocused and fluttering, his arm was draped
around Ruka's shoulder while her hand went around his waist gripping it firmly, but not too
firmly because…
The t hree Nobles gasped in horror as their eyes&nb sp;fell on the huge gap in the Hunter's middle,
and finally knew where all that blood came from, his shoulder seemed to be ruined too, but
not as horrible as his stomach; it was impossible for the Hunter to& nbsp;even be conscious right
now, and he&nbs p;was actually trying to walk? Takuma and the  ;others knew how much that must
hurt, s o they hurried towards the bloody Vampire&nbs p;helping Ruka in supporting him.
"Kiryuu-ku n!... Ruka! What happened?" Takuma yelped as he&nb sp;pushed Zero's trembling
shoulders up, while Shiki held him from the other side, placing his limp arm around his own
shoulder gently.
Ruka looked really terrible too, but more on the emotiona l side, her eyes where wide, and
she was in some kind of a shock. 'What the hell have she done !'
"…L-lev…elâ ;€¦E..s…" Zero panted heavil y answering Takuma's question.
"â€&brv bar;.Uugggh…" The hunter groaned in  ;pain.
"Shh, Kiryuu-kun, please don't speak anymore you're in&n bsp;a very critical condition." The blonde
sa id in a worried voice.
"…wh..why..dd..doâ& euro;¦yo..ou…ca..care…."&nbs p;Zero wheezed out ignoring the blonde's earlier&n bsp;
advise.
Takuma was a little bit hurt, but he didn't take it personally, he did, after all, know all about
Kaname 's plans and he didn't do anything about it. For now he had to make sure the Hunter
sta ys alive.
"Rima! Take care of Ruka. Shiki and I will take Kiryuu-kun back to the& nbsp;academy, and you will
follow us." Takuma ordered,  ;the two Nobles nodded their heads obediently ; Rima advanced
to Ruka and took her by the arm, while Shiki and Takuma supported the injured Hunter
standing each on one side next to him making there way to the academy.
They were  ;moving really slowly due to the fact th e Hunter was barely moving; he looked like
he was struggling not to pass out&n bsp;any minute now, he was too stubborn that& nbsp;he didn't allow
to be carried, if o nly he would pass out they would carry him&nb sp;easily to the Moon dorms.
Zero felt& nbsp;very tired, his vision was blurry, and he didn't know where he was or with who, he
couldn't recognize anything anymore, he& nbsp;only knew that no matter what he co uld not close
his eyes, no, not yet. Every now and then a throbbing would sear through him coming from
his middle section and his legs would give away under his pained weight, but he would not
pass out, he would, every time, be aware of the tw o hands tugging gently at his arms urging&nbs p;
him to get up and continue the walk. He didn't know who it was, but he was sure that at
some p oint he did know, anyways, he was really grateful that these ha nds were there each
time he thought&nbs p;he wouldn't be able to keep going.
" He…He helped me." The silence&n bsp;that took place among the conscious Nobles&nbs p;was cut by
one of them, Ruka. None of them said a word, and her sentence kept hanging in the&nb sp;air for five minutes, each
of them pondering what it meant.
"…I…wantedâ& euro;¦to…hurt him, but he†¦" Ruka said again with a broken voice , she sounded so
different, so guilty, surprised, and maybe afraid too. No one commented, all still waiting for
her to fini sh her explanation.
"…I was&nb sp;supposed to…b-but…he p ushed me away, and now he's…" Ruka choked out
sounding guiltier and like she was about to cry.
Rima comforted her and whispered some reassuring words before&nbs p;everyone started moving
silently again. They&nb sp;were getting closer to their destination.
-~~~LINE~~~-
Kaname's head shut up&nb sp;in total confusion and surprise when he fe lt the presence of the five
vampires getting closer, what made him jerk though wasn't their presence, it was the  ;smell
of blood. Lots and lots of blood, it was definitely the Hunter's blood, he had smelled it
before, and he couldn't mistake it for anyone else's, but this time the amount of blood was incredible, it was impossible that a drop was left inside the Hunter's body.
Kaname roared in anger, 'Ruka! What have you done!' now&nbs p;how the hell was he supposed to
succeed, it's not that the Hunter was the main piece i n his game, but he was a vital piece, a& nbsp;
piece he couldn't replace, not easily. He can't wait centuries for another Twin hunt ers to be
born! It was ridiculously&nbs p;absurd. Kaname chuckled slightly in disbelieve, everything was
ridiculous, he had planned this for a long time, and then a simple rage from a "friend" would
end it all?
The smell of blood got closer and finally the pureblood climbed his bedroom window
before gracefully descending, d eciding to welcome the vampires. He walked th rough the
thick trees of the moon dorm's garden almost reachi ng the huge fence, which he knew the&nbs p;
five Vampires would climb over soon. Kaname turned his head slightly backwards sensing
the two&n bsp;cousins.
"I see you two have sensed it too, or should I say…smelled it?" T he pureblood said coolly to
the two figures that appeared behind him, Kain and Aido.
"K-Kaname-sama…" Aido started sounding worried " the smell of†¦of his blood is
unbelievableâ&euro ;¦its too much…there's no wa y he's a live!"
"Oh he is, he better beâ€&b rvbar;" Kaname muttered more to himself than to the blonde.& nbsp;
"Kaname-sama, may I ask what happened?" Kain requested his hands in his pocket with a
serious tone in his voice.
"Our little Hunter had a mission"  ;the pureblood answered casually " but apparently, due to
some reasons, it didn't go well" he continued more firmly.& nbsp;
"A-and what about the rest, I don't feel their presence!" Aido hesitantly asked.
"I sent&nb sp;them after him." Kaname sighed turning his back to the Nobles, who understood that
it meant no more questions are to be as ked.
"They're going to arrive any minut e now, Kain, I want you to let Chairman Cross that his son is badly injured. Aido, you  ;know what you need to do."
"Yes K aname-sama" the two vampires said in one voic e before one storming back to the
moon&n bsp;dorms, and the other to the outside.

Kiryuu Zero is a good Hunter

"Hey, level-D, are you listening to what I'm saying?"&nb sp;Ruka waved her hand in front of the < br> dazed off hunter.
Amethyst eyes finally looked up at her questioningly, but still not so interested, his hand
moving to the inside of his pocket. Ruka's frown deepened.
"I think you know that …"
Zero wasn't hearing the&nbs p;Noble's voice anymore; he could only hear the&nb sp;rasped panting that
was getting closer and higher&ac irc;€¦
"…And Kaname-sama has already…"
'†¦Huff…huh..hah…'
"…Everyone else think youâ&eu ro;¦"
'…Humph…hmm …arghhh…'
"†¦Don't think they are in their righâ& euro;¦WOOAH!" Ruka screeched gasping and cutting her
sentence when the Hunter rai sed his left hand suddenly grasping her left shoulder tigh tly
before throwing her aside, and pulling his Bloody Rose swiftly, aiming straig ht ahead and…
BANG! BANG!&nbs p;BANG!
Three shots pierced the night sky but, more importantly, the level-E&n bsp;that was now in the
exact same  ;spot the Noble was in a second ago.
"Wha&acir c;€¦" The question was not completely phrased as the&nbs p;Noble stared at the level-E that
was& nbsp;turning to ashes now. She was in total shock, so the Hunt er was actually on a Hunt!?
"I-I thought you wouldn't…be allowed to hunt&nb sp;anymore…" Ruka stuttered in confusion
looking at the hunter then back at  ;the ashes, fear flashed in her eyes, what a sad ending a
vampire has.
"W ell…I…huf…am"&n bsp;Zero replied panting heavily, the sudden, quick movements causing his
fatigued body to& nbsp;suffer more. He sighed tiredly and looked up at the two vampires that
have obviously been looking for a meal, and they were probably interested in the&nbs p;Noble
blood to Zero's left.
Zero was shocked to  ;see the Noble move in a fast movement, dashi ng towards the level –E
i n front of her; she delivered quick strikes and engaged herself in a stirring fight&nb sp;with the
other Vampire.
Zero just&nbs p;accepted the help with no commentary before  ;moving toward his prey.
-~~~LINE~~~-
Takuma glanced behind him making sure that the two Nobles were still&nb sp;following him. Shiki
and Rima were both moving fast, but Takuma was still moving faster; he was ve ry worried
although he didn't show it. ' Why? Why did Ruka have to ruin everything?' How arrogant o f
her to think that she was helping&nbs p;Kaname when she was absolutely not, but in& nbsp;fact she was
ruining his plans completely&nbs p;by trying to murder a very important fragment.
Takuma's thoughts were interrupted;  ;he faintly could sense the familiar scents o f the Noble
and the Hunter andâ€& brvbar; other vampires? Takuma glanced back at his two friends giving them a
meaningful node; they returned it back, level-Es.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG! BANG!&nb sp;BANG! BANG! BANG!
Zero's gunshots pierced the level-E harshly, turning the level-E into  ;ashes. He was standing
on top of the&nb sp;roof of one of the ruined buildings; he had ended up there after the long
chase encounter between him and the level-E. Zero frowned sensing the Fourth level-E
final ly getting closer; he glanced up looking for the Noble and the&n bsp;level-E.
Ruka was on the roof of&nbs p;the opposite building, she was standing as grace fully as ever like
she didn't just have a fight, which she technically didn't; the Noble&nbs p;was obviously using her
powers, for the&nb sp;level-E was on the floor writhing in pain. But she hadn't killed him yet; she
could not, not without a Hunter weapon. The Noble looked at the Hunter, gesturing,
pointing with her&n bsp;head towards the squirming level-E.
Zero frowned at her; he then looked at the level-E, so many emotions washed through him,
anger, despair, sympathy, understanding and then…determination. The Hun ter raised the
arm holding the gun slowly.
BANG! BANG! BANG !
One day it will be him. Zero closed his eyes, and turned from the view of the flying ashes.
Ruka was looking at him all this time. 'Is&nb sp;that sadness I see in his eyes?' The Noble wondered
studying the Hunter carefully.
The two Vampires descended gracefully from the buildings into the narrow  ;alley; both in
deep thought and not bothering to chat. Zero glanced up first and suddenly! The level-E has
gotten too clo se to them and Zero was in such deep&nbs p;thoughts that he didn't notice it.
" S o, back to our previous conve…Aaaug h…" Ruka's speech was cut for the second time that
night, and for the same reason too; Zero had pu shed her out of the way, one thing was
d ifferent this time though; neither Zero nor his gun were&nb sp;ready, plus his muscles were
fatigued from the events tonight, and he could only move fa st enough to push the talkative
Noble&n bsp;out of the way.
"…Uuugghh& acirc;€¦" Zero groaned in pain; he was pinned to a wall, the level-E's claws piercing
through him; the level-E's right hand penetrated his left shoulder pinning him to the wall,
while his abdomen was stabbed by the level-E's other ha nd.
"…Haah…" Zero&nb sp;gasped at the different, painful, burning sensa tions running up and down
his body, but he didn't have to release the air he just inhaled before gasping again  ;in both
pain and surprise.
The level-E just pierced his neck savagely, ripping his dedicate, soft skin apart before
feeding eage rly on the Hunter. Zero shut his eyes tightly and tried to ignore the pain,
sc ratch that, the pains, the different pains that ran throu gh him as the beast started drawing
large amounts of his blood and gulping it down selfishly. The Hunter tried to&nbs p;focus on his
shaking hand that was moving toward his gun's location.
Zero's eyes shut open when he felt a thin, light hand going past his jacket and into his inner
pocket, grabbing and pulling Bloody Rose. Ruka.
The&n bsp;level-E was so lost in his meal that  ;he didn't notice the Noble getting closer; he&nbs p;only felt
hard circular metal on the back of his head, and…
BANG!
Ashes.
Th ump!
Ruka threw the gun in disgust after shooting the mad level-E in the he ad. She glanced at
the Hunter. He was a complete mess; he had slid down now sitting&n bsp;on the floor, dazed,
supporting his back against the wall. The smell of his unique blood was everywhere, Ruka

pureblood? And&nbs p;there was something else unique about it th at she couldn't quite put her

with so much mo re than any other red cell in his body.& nbsp;
Zero gasped and clutched his middle where the level-E had stabbed him, he groaned and
threw his head back to the wall, his eyes shutting tightly as the pain increased q uickly,
searing from his middle to all parts of his body, his fingers loosened its grip around his
middle; he was starting to daze off, his eyes fluttered and his body shivered slightly as the
crimson&nbs p;blood seeped out of him freely and in large amounts. He tried to figh t the
hollowness and blackness that was trying to seep through him, but his strength was leaving
him gradually. Finally, his eyelids covered his blurry vision, his body went limp, and he
passed out.
-~~~LINE~~~-
BANG!
The three Noble heads bolted upward following the sound of the gun shut, i t was the
Hunter's gun shut, and they all recognized it very well, but that's not it! Blood, lots of blood
was being&n bsp;spelled. Takuma increased his speed if possible, and the two Nobles followed.
Kiryuu Zero's blood was filling the atmosphere with its hea vy smell.
Finally they reached a long, narrow alley that seemed pretty abandoned, b ut they could feel
the presence of the Noble, and smel l of the other's blood getting stronger. They were
getting closer, and it actually scared the blonde of what&nbs p;they were about to discover.
"There a re no more level –Es" Rima stat ed in confusion.
"Kiryuu-kun was on a hu nting mission after all," Takuma said reminding&nb sp;her.
"Uggh…damn it!"
The&nb sp;Three heads turned to where the familiar s ound of the fourth noble came from.
"Ruka!" Takuma yelled as he dashed to her presence, Rima and Shiki right behind him.
They were ha lf way through the narrow alley when the y saw the horrific scene that was
placed in front of them; Ruka, covered in crimson blood was partially standing as she
supported the Hunter, obviously, trying to make him stand, the Hunter&nb sp;in the other hand
was actually tryin g to stand, his eyes seemed unfocused and fluttering, his arm was draped
around Ruka's shoulder while her hand went around his waist gripping it firmly, but not too
firmly because…
The t hree Nobles gasped in horror as their eyes&nb sp;fell on the huge gap in the Hunter's middle,
and finally knew where all that blood came from, his shoulder seemed to be ruined too, but
not as horrible as his stomach; it was impossible for the Hunter to& nbsp;even be conscious right
now, and he&nbs p;was actually trying to walk? Takuma and the  ;others knew how much that must
hurt, s o they hurried towards the bloody Vampire&nbs p;helping Ruka in supporting him.
"Kiryuu-ku n!... Ruka! What happened?" Takuma yelped as he&nb sp;pushed Zero's trembling
shoulders up, while Shiki held him from the other side, placing his limp arm around his own
shoulder gently.
Ruka looked really terrible too, but more on the emotiona l side, her eyes where wide, and
she was in some kind of a shock. 'What the hell have she done !'
"…L-lev…elâ ;€¦E..s…" Zero panted heavil y answering Takuma's question.
"â€&brv bar;.Uugggh…" The hunter groaned in  ;pain.
"Shh, Kiryuu-kun, please don't speak anymore you're in&n bsp;a very critical condition." The blonde
sa id in a worried voice.
"…wh..why..dd..doâ& euro;¦yo..ou…ca..care…."&nbs p;Zero wheezed out ignoring the blonde's earlier&n bsp;
advise.
Takuma was a little bit hurt, but he didn't take it personally, he did, after all, know all about
Kaname 's plans and he didn't do anything about it. For now he had to make sure the Hunter
sta ys alive.
"Rima! Take care of Ruka. Shiki and I will take Kiryuu-kun back to the& nbsp;academy, and you will
follow us." Takuma ordered,  ;the two Nobles nodded their heads obediently ; Rima advanced
to Ruka and took her by the arm, while Shiki and Takuma supported the injured Hunter
standing each on one side next to him making there way to the academy.
They were  ;moving really slowly due to the fact th e Hunter was barely moving; he looked like
he was struggling not to pass out&n bsp;any minute now, he was too stubborn that& nbsp;he didn't allow
to be carried, if o nly he would pass out they would carry him&nb sp;easily to the Moon dorms.
Zero felt& nbsp;very tired, his vision was blurry, and he didn't know where he was or with who, he
couldn't recognize anything anymore, he& nbsp;only knew that no matter what he co uld not close
his eyes, no, not yet. Every now and then a throbbing would sear through him coming from
his middle section and his legs would give away under his pained weight, but he would not
pass out, he would, every time, be aware of the tw o hands tugging gently at his arms urging&nbs p;
him to get up and continue the walk. He didn't know who it was, but he was sure that at
some p oint he did know, anyways, he was really grateful that these ha nds were there each
time he thought&nbs p;he wouldn't be able to keep going.
" He…He helped me." The silence&n bsp;that took place among the conscious Nobles&nbs p;was cut by
one of them, Ruka. None of them said a word, and her sentence kept hanging in the&nb sp;air for five minutes, each
of them pondering what it meant.
"…I…wantedâ& euro;¦to…hurt him, but he†¦" Ruka said again with a broken voice , she sounded so
different, so guilty, surprised, and maybe afraid too. No one commented, all still waiting for
her to fini sh her explanation.
"…I was&nb sp;supposed to…b-but…he p ushed me away, and now he's…" Ruka choked out
sounding guiltier and like she was about to cry.
Rima comforted her and whispered some reassuring words before&nbs p;everyone started moving
silently again. They&nb sp;were getting closer to their destination.

Kaname's head shut up&nb sp;in total confusion and surprise when he fe lt the presence of the five
vampires getting closer, what made him jerk though wasn't their presence, it was the  ;smell
of blood. Lots and lots of blood, it was definitely the Hunter's blood, he had smelled it
before, and he couldn't mistake it for anyone else's, but this time the amount of blood was incredible, it was impossible that a drop was left inside the Hunter's body.
Kaname roared in anger, 'Ruka! What have you done!' now&nbs p;how the hell was he supposed to
succeed, it's not that the Hunter was the main piece i n his game, but he was a vital piece, a& nbsp;
piece he couldn't replace, not easily. He can't wait centuries for another Twin hunt ers to be
born! It was ridiculously&nbs p;absurd. Kaname chuckled slightly in disbelieve, everything was
ridiculous, he had planned this for a long time, and then a simple rage from a "friend" would
end it all?
The smell of blood got closer and finally the pureblood climbed his bedroom window
before gracefully descending, d eciding to welcome the vampires. He walked th rough the
thick trees of the moon dorm's garden almost reachi ng the huge fence, which he knew the&nbs p;
five Vampires would climb over soon. Kaname turned his head slightly backwards sensing
the two&n bsp;cousins.
"I see you two have sensed it too, or should I say…smelled it?" T he pureblood said coolly to
the two figures that appeared behind him, Kain and Aido.
"K-Kaname-sama…" Aido started sounding worried " the smell of†¦of his blood is
unbelievableâ&euro ;¦its too much…there's no wa y he's a live!"
"Oh he is, he better beâ€&b rvbar;" Kaname muttered more to himself than to the blonde.& nbsp;
"Kaname-sama, may I ask what happened?" Kain requested his hands in his pocket with a
serious tone in his voice.
"Our little Hunter had a mission"  ;the pureblood answered casually " but apparently, due to
some reasons, it didn't go well" he continued more firmly.& nbsp;
"A-and what about the rest, I don't feel their presence!" Aido hesitantly asked.
"I sent&nb sp;them after him." Kaname sighed turning his back to the Nobles, who understood that
it meant no more questions are to be as ked.
"They're going to arrive any minut e now, Kain, I want you to let Chairman Cross that his son is badly injured. Aido, you  ;know what you need to do."
"Yes K aname-sama" the two vampires said in one voic e before one storming back to the
moon&n bsp;dorms, and the other to the outside.
