Chapter 1:
Someone sat on the ledge over the window glances out watching as the sky clouded over in grays and blues while the wind picked up it tempo and began to blow furiously around everything in sight. Weather like this always reminded him of himself, moody looking and always wanting to lash out at everything. Although he became a bit calmer now after a good year as President of the Hunters Association, Zero still seemed as though his mission in life was to annihilate all Pure Bloods. The consent meetings with the Pure Blooded Kuran, didn't help to smooth that promise he made to himself at all. After all that Zero found himself contemplating his life and what he really wanted. For every question he asked himself, it was more than likely always a no.
Was anger the only thing he had gain over the years? No, he gain headaches, heartache, loss of a dear friend, and becoming president. All aches and pain. Even his position as president would soon be gone. His work of getting everything back in order, organizing all the paper work, branching of into sections, helping other Associations in other countries and helping the vampires re-establish new order as older vampires woke up from their slumbers. Everything, All of that meant nothing, especially to Zero, who had basically nothing.
That's why by this time tomorrow Zero would no longer be the Hunters Association's President. He was handing that job over to Kaito, someone he's known since a boy and also someone who has enough strength to meet the position's requirements. Zero had decided that he wanted to disappear from the world. Due to the inheritance his family left him and the new vampire council, composed of old and new pure bloods, Zero was also granted all belongings of the Hiou family since he is the last vampire connected to that family by blood. It didn't help to find out that the Kiryuu's and the Hiou's were third cousins, so Zero was changed into a vampire by a distant relative.
Zero release a sigh he had been holding in for awhile now as he removed himself from the window's ledge and went to go sit back down in the grand chair meant for the Association's president. The furniture in the office had always been too grand for his taste and now that he knew he was leaving it and everything behind, Zero realized he was going to miss it, not by much but still enough for him to feel a bit saddened by his choice. Although he was leaving this life to create a better one, one that not only can he be proud of but one in which he can be happy.
A knock on the door awoke Zero from his thoughts. He glanced over the papers on his desk, now was the time for working since he won't be here the day after tomorrow.
“Mr. President, Mr. Yagari and Mr. Kurosu are here to see you,” the secretary said as he poked his head through the small gap in the doorway that he created for himself. Zero nodded and told him to send them in as he signed his signature on one of the many documents that needed his attention.
Yagari practically kicked open the door before strutting his way into the room, Kurosu quickly followed behind scolding Yagari about his behavior. After looking for a seat both of them grabbed a chair from the side of room and dragged it over into of the desk Zero sat behind. Zero had expected them to do so but he wasn't ready for Yagari's feet to slammed down onto of the desk. The motion almost made him jump in his seat but Zero refrained himself from doing so.
“Is there something I can help you with?” Zero asked as he signed yet another document. He ran one of his hands through his sliver locks to control his urge to grab his sensei's feet and fling them above his head, resulting in him flipping over the chair. He smiled at the thought of his Sensei's face as he fell.
“Zero are you really leaving?” Kurosu asked folding his hands on his lap and began to look like a kicked puppy.
“Look here idiot pupil,” Yagari said removing his feet from the desk, “Your finally the top dog and your just gonna leave. Nah nuh, so what's the real reason?”
“Once an underdog always an underdog, only difference is I became better at being one.” Zero said putting the rest of the unfinished documents away. He then clasped his hands together and stared them both in the eye. “I'm leaving because I want to, heck it's the only thing I've truly wanted for myself in a long time and that is all I have to say on this matter.” he said leaning back in his chair.
“What about you saying you'll kill all the Pure Bloods?” Yagari asked attempting to get his pupil to give them a better reason for him to throw away all he's ever worked for.
“It's not worth it, to sit around here and wait for one of them to screw up so I can put a bullet through their heart.” Zero stated after letting a large sigh escape his lips.
“What of Yuki?” Kurosu asked. The reaction they both expected was not the one they received. Zero glance away from them breathing in and exhaling slowly.
“I love Yuki but don't get me wrong, I'm no longer in love with her. I'm sorry if I'm not willing to wait for someone who clearly doesn't want me. She made her choice three years ago and I have finally made mine, this life will become nothing more than a distant memory,” Zero said his eyes held more emotion than both man had ever seen him show. “Now if that's all I have to get everything in order for Kaito.”
Kurosu and Yagari left quickly after the silent dismissal from Zero. They could only hope that Zero was making the right decision because they knew he needed it. Zero slumped into the chair as the door closed behind them. Stressful was the only word that came to mind when Zero thought about his life thus far. Another hour and he could go back to his makeshift house for the night to rest for what was appearing to be an eventful departing.
Time slowly past as Zero tried to complete all the work he could to give his fellow Hunter and easy start to what is going to be a hectic job. He could only hope that Kaito would be able to help to Association to improve in a few years time. Glancing at his wrist watch Zero packed up all papers and downloaded all files of today's work onto a USB before storing it into the safe. Tomorrow's work would involve loading all data into the main computer for reference that all who had permission could access.
Zero grabbed his trench coat from the office's side closet and put it on before locking the office up and leaving the building. He walked a steady pace taking the time to enjoy being outside for once. Zero mentally smiled, he could get use to just enjoying things in a relaxed state of mind and body. The walk home was something he hadn't really experienced before, Zero made it home an hour and a half later. The time shocked him but the peaceful state he was in made him not care. If the rest of his life was to be like this Zero had to wonder why didn't he ever take time to himself to not do anything but just be before.
He cooked himself something to eat and took a shower before going to bed for the night. For once Zero was looking forward to getting up in the morning.
Sunlight streamed through Zero's drapes, waking the slumbering teen. He smiled as he rolled over in the bed. Zero knew he would have to school his features before he arrived at the Association, he didn't want them to think that he had finally snapped.
He got out of bed and went to shower before even trying to get ready for the day. Once he was done in the bathroom, Zero dressed. He put on a pair of faded blue jeans that were tight on the ass and loose by the knees down, he wore a tight v-neck t-shirt. He looped two belts through his jeans producing a crisscross at the crotch and ass, leaving a buckle from the belts on each side of his outer thighs. Zero then grabbed some bands from the top of a dresser that he brought randomly and put them on each wrist before taking of his chains. One chain was thicker than the other but he put both on.
Zero debated whether or not to wear a sweater. He decided not to and pack his all his belongings into two carry on side bags. There wasn't much he had with him in the makeshift home he was living in, everything was in his family's homes on both side. He had hired help from the Hiou's who were willing to look after all of the places he own to please their newest master. Of course Zero upped their payroll, which was nothing when he subtracted that amount from all he gained from the Hiou family's businesses.
He left his bags on the bed because he would be back for them later, just before he had to leave to go catch his plane. Zero went into the little kitchenette and made himself a larger breakfast and ate a handful of pills. He then took his black trench coat, put it on and left for the Association. Instead of taking the main street to the headquarters Zero went through a park to enjoy his walk. The walk was peaceful until Zero happened to come across a pair of level E's trying to bite a woman and child. Zero guessed the mother and child were hanging out together before she had to drop off the kid at school.
Zero whipped out Bloody Rose from its resting place and shot the two low level vampires before they could even tell what hit them. Using a charm he erased the mother and child's memories and replaced it with something cheerful. He tucked Bloody Rose back into the back of his jeans and then pulled his top down to cover it from sight, although the chain in which the gun was attached to was visible. The chain just added to Zero's overall punk look.
Zero continued his way to the Association, this time not bothering to enjoy his time outside. He was greeted at the door by Kaito, Yagari and Kurosu. They all lightly bowed to him which made Zero stare at them skeptically, but I guess now was better then never. They followed Zero up to the Presidents office, where Zero let them all into the room as he got out everything he would need to show Kaito before he left. At the end of his time here he was going to remind Kaito to change all the passwords every two months so hackers would have a harder time gaining access.
He unlocked the safe and took out the USB from yesterday and went then left the office after telling Kaito to follow him. Yagari and Kurosu waited in the office as Zero showed Kaito where the main computer was located and told him all the access codes. Kaito was shown how to change all passwords and upload or download any information that may be needed. Once that was down they walked back up to the office finding Yagari and Kurosu arguing about something which had them both at each throats like school children. They stopped arguing after a few moments when they realized they were no longer alone in the room.
Zero ignored Yagari and Kurosu completely until Kaito said he could take things from here. He glanced at his watch checking the time, seeing as he finished two hours earlier than he had expected Zero had four hours before he needed to be at the airport. Maybe he would take another walk somewhere or go eat something at a coffee shop.
“Why are you two here?” Zero asked deciding to amuse himself with them instead.
“I'm here to see if there is anyway I could get you to stay,” Kurosu said glaring over at Yagari. “While this guy there wants to ask you for the Bloody Rose.” Kurosu retorted.
“Well, there no way either thing is happening. The gun officially belongs to me and is registered under my name and I have no reason to stay here.” Zero said leaning on what used to be his desk. Kurosu didn't know what to do to get Zero to talk about what he was going to do now that he didn't want to be a Hunter.
“Hey, where's a good small coffee shop around here?” Zero asked distracting Kurosu and Yagari from their thoughts. Kurosu almost did a double take when he looked at Zero. For as long as he had known Zero never asked about anything that didn't have to due with work or avoiding people.
“I know of one that's a few blocks from here if you would like me to show you,” Kurosu said fixing his scarf and jacket. Zero put on his trench coat and walked out the office after giving his best regards to Kaito. Kurosu grabbed Yagari's arm and dragged him out the office to catch up to Zero who was making his way down the stairs. They caught up to Zero on the main floor.
As they exited the Association Kurosu was more than happy to drag both Zero and Yagari to the coffee shop he was talking about. Kurosu talked about how the school was doing to fill the empty silence that stretched between them. The walk to the coffee shop wasn't that long but the closer they got the stronger the smell of vampires and blood got. All three became alert as they neared the shop.
“This coffee shop is one of the few that is vampire owned, but this is the first time I've smelt the scent of blood.” Kurosu stated as they entered the shop. What they found wasn't much of a shock a level E found a target that was just a bit more than he could chew. The owner had use his claws so the level E had no choice but to bleed out. Taking pity on the creature Zero shot it, killing it without a second thought.
He then walked up to the counter and sat down on one of the stools. “I'll have a half an half with chocolate milk and one sugar cube,” Zero said to the owner. The owner was still in shock a bit but after a moment he filled out the ex-hunter's request. Yagari and Kurosu then ordered what they wanted before starting up an non serious conversation with each other.
They spent two hours in the shop chatting it up getting a few laughs from those around them. Zero also chuckled although the first time he did both of them shut up quickly to listen. Zero then looked at his watch as an after thought. He then asked for a cup to go and said his goodbyes.
“Sensei, Father, I'll see you later in life maybe.” Zero said before exiting the shop, leaving a shocked Yagari and a crying Kurosu sitting on their stools. Zero smiled to himself, today happened to be the best possible way to say goodbye.
He quickly made it back to get his bags and left again to go to the airport. Zero walked to the bus station where he got on a bus going out to the airport. He watched as many people his age put in headphone to listen to music or played on their laptops or talked on their cell phones. Getting all those would be his first step to his new life, Zero thought. The bus ride took longer than expected but Zero still made it in time to catch his plane.
He got on the plane and strapped in and waited for the plane to take off.
===Ah! Zero's Leaving!===
Yuki walked throughout her and Kaname's home, taking in her new surroundings since they no longer needed to be in hiding. This home was even more flourished than the other one but this one didn't have the lonely memories haunting her Onii-sama all the time. Over the past two years Yuki had become a good friend of Luka, although she still kept in touch with Sayori. Luka had taught Yuki how to be more graceful and womanly.
“I'm home, Yuki.” Kaname said as he closed the door behind him. Yuki was already waiting at the end of the hall for her lover to come inside. Kaname glided his way to Yuki and leaned down to her height to receive his welcome home kiss.
“Welcome home, Kaname.” Yuki replied to his greeting before delivering a kiss upon Kaname's cheek. Then Yuki grabbed her brother's hand and led him into the sitting room where tea and biscuits were laid out for them.
They sat down to enjoy a hot cup of tea and just be in each others' presence without the interruption of business partners or visiting friends. Today was only the quiet before the storm, for tomorrow they had planned to have a banquet at their new home to celebrate. Kaname was to announce their engagement and celebrate a cousin awakening from his rest.
No one noticed but Kaname was anxious for tomorrow, he finally got Yuki to agree to state their relationship in the open. Although his efforts of getting Yuki to be closer to him than just simple kisses were for naught. Kaname would never pressure Yuki into becoming closer to him in a more intimate way than what she was ready for. He could wait, he may have not wanted to wait but he would do anything for her.
Kaname watched as Yuki brought the tea cup up to her lips and sip slowly. He did the same but after he took a small bite of one of the biscuits that were creatively laid out on a oval platter. Yuki began to talk about what she did while he was away at a meeting to meet the new President of the Hunters Association. Kaname laughed at her jokes and gave her encouragement when needed so she could continue her story.
Yuki had come along way from the shy girl who didn't really talk that much about herself to him, she still had a long way to go but she made many improvements. Especially for how she thought of herself as not being worthy enough for him. The same could be said for the way Kaname thought about himself.
“Kaname what did the Association want?” Yuki asked setting her cup down so she could refill it. Kaname looked up from his cup and set it back down on it's saucer since he knew his next choice of words had to be chosen.
“The Hunters Association, wanted to announce their new President who was appointed two months prior to their invites for the meeting.” Kaname said before stating, “It seems that Kiryuu gave up the position willingly and that spot was then given to Takamiya.”
“Zero would never give it up! He worked so hard for that job, what reason did they have to take it away for?” Yuki said her voice raising as she jumped out of her seat. As she noticed Yuki gave her apologies before sitting back down. She could fathom how Zero would just willingly give up his position.
“I understand you reasoning, but I also confirmed the information with Kurosu and he agreed with it,” Kaname said taking a sip of his now lukewarm tea.
“B-But, why?” Yuki asked. Kaname wasn't sure what she wanted him to say.
“I invite Kurosu to spend the night here along with Yagari-san, so they could give us more information on the matter,” Kaname said added hot tea into his cup to warm it. Apparently he said the right thing because Yuki shot out of her seat and wrapped her arms around him. Hugging tightly Yuki gave her lover a small kiss on the lips. Kaname couldn't help but feel a twinge of jealousy. She only truly initiated physical contact when Zero's well being was mentioned.
“I'll tell the help, do you know when they'll be here?” Yuki asked excited that her adoptive father was coming over to visit and staying for the night.
“There be here an hour before midnight,” Kaname said holding in a sigh let just wanted to be released from his rip cage. Tonight was going to be a long night for him, he could just feel it. He could only hope that Yuki didn't change her mind about their engagement the night before.
