Chapter 3:
"Good, I'm Arisha, it's nice to finally meet you Zero." She said calmly. Zero stared at the girl in front of him. 'This ... this was Arisha?' He thought to himself.
"You know that's not very nice." She said calmly before she crossed her arms while her eyes narrowed in mild anger, "And yes, this is Arisha."
"My apologies, I'm just ... I was expecting an aura of complete power or something" Zero stated, he really didn't know how to explain what he thought she would be like.
Arisha chuckled lightly before it turned into a full laugh as she thought about the image the boy must of had. A shadow quickly appeared behind her to check her bend over form for injuries. She waved a hand at the high class looking older man behind her. Zero watched as the man gave out orders to a group of people behind Arisha laughing form. It took her a moment but she was able to calm down.
"Ah, sorry my bad, I sort of get your meaning. Many hear tons of things about me and then when they meet me like this they feel a bit disappointed." Arisha said as she pictured what others must of thought she would be like, "Ah it's funny."
The man then whispered in her ear. "Ah, no Jeffery, I'm fine, really just a small laughing fit."
"Mistress, you don't laugh, you chuckle sure, giggle like a maniac at times but you haven't laughed since childhood." Jeffery stated as though what he was saying was obvious. Arisha nodded her head in understanding before she decided to grab Zero and pull him next to her. She point at him with one hand while being latched onto his arm by the other.
"It just felt nice to laugh in front of him" That was all she said to their little group. Zero could only watch as the group of eyes in front of him enlarged rapidly. Zero wasn't sure if he did a good or bad thing by just standing there. Arisha then proceeded to drag Zero to the car parked in the waiting area.
"So Zero what is it exactly that you want to learn from me?" Arisha asked as she pushed Zero into the car. She hoped in before Zero fully got situated. Zero knew some things that he wanted to know more about but he really just wanted to learn all he could.
"Anything your willing to teach, I just want to know all I can."
"Good answer." Arisha said before pausing mid-movement to think. "Well if your willing to become my apprentice I'll share everything with you via mind link."
"That fine I guess but why would you want something like that with me?" Zero asked, he wasn’t sure how to act around the enigma in front of him.
“Well for one, Your judgment is based off of horrible experiences about creatures I used to consider the same as me, plus politics. I hope to make you see what good we can be and also your hot so turning you will give me good pictures for my fashion ads.” Arisha smiled, “Gotta keep up my appearances with the public.” she said fangs noticeable even though she wasn't angry or hungry.
“When do we start?” Zero asked as he made himself comfortable in the back of the car. He thought back onto all those instants where he was forced into a car with Kuran, who although being a pure blood was no where as old or rich as the teen looking woman beside him. For her being such a powerful vampire she sure didn’t really show it. The vehicle was modest but had all the latest gear any working creature would need and a few things that Zero didn't know what they were.
“We’ll start that mind link next week if your still up for it.” She said taking out her PDA, “But for now you’ll follow me around learning as we go. Alright.” She glanced up from her PDA to Zero who nodded instead of replying. He could tell just from the way she spoke that things with her were extremely fast paced and then some.
They drove back all the way to Arisha’s company, where they were stormed by passing business workers asking for opinions and answers to certain proposals. Zero tried to stay out of the way but as soon as he left her side she stopped everything to look at him. All those who weren’t there to pick him up glared at him like he was competition.
“Don’t block my apprentice from my side,” Arisha announced as she finally got fed up with Zero being pushed out of her eye sight. Everyone gasped, and some whined. He could hear complaints about him in the background, asking why him as her first apprentice and why not them.
Arisha used her thumb and forefinger to rub the bridge of her nose. Zero could tell she was getting agitated. He looked around noticing that everyone still kept talking.
“Shut up, and get back to work.” Zero said loudly, “She’s not paying you to keep asking her questions about your work.” After he said that Arisha smiled before they left to go her office.
Zero was quick to learn how powerful Sha truly was when she starting training and teaching him everything she could. She was taking everything step by step with him so he could better understand all he had missed out on growing up.
Over the period of one month Zero could say he learned so much more from her than he had ever in his entire life thus far. Feeling safe enough with each other, Zero told Sha his story. Unlike most hunters of today Zero had not been born a Hunter. He was born as a pure blood vampire, him and his twin. Not only that but Shizuka was his older sister and got in trouble with the council just so they wouldn’t find out about them. Their parents along with their cousins the Kiryuu’s came up with the idea of Zero and Ichiru becoming hunters and living with the Kiryuu’s until they were of age. For they knew Rido was out for power and was killing any higher ranking vampires he could get his hands on.
Soon after they were changed they got word of the untimely death of his and Kuran’s parents. Rido had killed them. They were to stay with the Kiryuu’s and train to be hunters. Zero quickly learned how much better they treated him over his brother, for Zero didn’t mind killing his own kind when they had obviously lost their ways. Ichiru on the other hand although he could fight, he chose not to for he didn’t feel it was right. Then Ichiru started meeting up with their sister well Zero distracted the family during training time.
Shizuka didn’t kill their blood cousin for such a reason everyone believed. She killed them for their fake parents were planning on making a deal with the vampire council for their lives. They were going to betray their own blood. For what Zero didn’t know because Kuran killed his sister before he could truly ask. To make matters worst Ichiru also died shortly afterword. He had lost both of his last remaining family because of the Kurans. In his mind the Kurans were nothing more than a bunch of murders for if they couldn’t solve a problem as a family others died trying to help.
Never mind the fact that the reason he was bit was to save his life. Shizuka got injured fighting for them, she couldn’t carry them both. Ichiru was slightly injured and in shock, he was heavily attacked repeatedly. Zero also took more than a few hits for his brother. If not for that bite he could have died. Plus with things as screwed up as they were they needed someone on the inside of the Association.
He kept them well in formed whenever he could get in touched with them. He played his part well. If Zero had anything to say about it, he did it too well. So much so he got his family killed.
Sha after being told this assured Zero that he was not at fault. His family only wanted to protect him and from what he heard of his personality towards his family they did right in doing so. Zero got so angry at her for that but she had managed to calm him down with one simple sentence.
“Zero you were their sunlight, they only wanted to protect the one who made them happy to still be alive.” He cried so hard after she that to him.
It was only then that Zero felt he truly had a reason to live for again. So quickly another month went by and Zero was considerably happier than he had ever remembered himself being for the longest time.
“Ro, guess what were doing later today?” Arisha said cheerfully. Zero only raised an eyebrow in question. “Were going to model for one of my many global ads.”
“Why would I want to do that?” Zero asked, “Who’s knows who might try to find me.”
“Well too bad your doing it and also no can do shit because your with moi.” She stated clearly agitate at the thought of someone even attempt to go against her wishes. “So hurry and get ready okay be back soon.” With a slight wave she was off leaving Zero to stare at the door with a smile gracing his lips.
Zero started to get ready like Arisha asked when his phone went off. He looked at the name and got curious, Yagari rarely ever called him unless it was something important. Hmm, maybe the Kuran’s finally married.
"What Toga?" Zero said into the phone. He really didn’t want to learn if they married or not.
"Kid, I slipped up."
"How bad?" He wasn’t even sure what the man was talking about so he needed to keep a straight head so he could deal with whatever was going to be thrown at him today. Leave it to someone in Japan to make all his ease and enjoyment be crushed within a moment.
"I-I was talking to Kurosu and he was whining a-and--"
"How bad, Toga." Zero groaned, Kurosu was in the picture. If there was Kurosu, than the Kuran’s were probably there too. Fuck, Zero groaned mentally. This day just kept getting better and better for him.
"KurosuYuukiKanamearehereandtalkaboutyoucameupandspilledaboutyoubeingavampiresincechildhood,"
"YOU FUCKING DID WHAT?"
"Now, now son it's not that big of a deal." Kurosu said into the phone.
"Put Yagari back on please. It's not like I can hurt him over the phone." The phone line went dead. Zero re-dialed the number. If he wasn’t so busy learning all he could for Arisha-sama he’d be back there within five hours just to give his sensei a good kick in the balls. How he wished he could teleport like night-crawler in the movie X-men.
"Hello Kiryuu," Kaname said politely. Zero cursed as he recognized who's voice was on the other line. Of all the people that had to pick up the phone then again Kuran’s better then his bitch.
"Put Yagari on the phone Kuran." Zero said, he wasn’t angry at Kuran at the moment so no need to care if they speak civilly to each other now.
"I'm afraid I can't do that, he's unavailable at the moment."
"Don't tell me he hightailed it." Zero could just see Yagari claiming he had somewhere to be and would leave his phone behind on purpose.
"No, he's still around," Kaname said trying to be as vague as possible. "But then again I don't see what the problem is. Is it really that bad for Yuuki and I to know that you were a vampire as a child and that your now ranked as a TZ hunter?"
"Hell I would have preferred Kaito or Souen over you two." Why would he want the only two people he could ever say he let get close to him and betray him to know. He barely let Kurosu know his childhood secrets. Yagari only knew certain things because his parents trusted the man enough to know.
"Well instead of letting us assume things about you why don't you tell us what this is about then?" Kaname questioned.
"Kaname why don't you get permission from Sha first?" He said as he seen Sha enter the room, she was his greatest excuse at the moment. Gotta love family. Zero mentally sighed in relief.
"Who's Sha?" Sha stared at Zero till he told her mentally who he was on the phone with. Not wanting to interrupt and let her family’s weak descendant hear her voice she told Zero to tell the boy something he needed to know.
"Arisha, the Keeper, one of your oldest living relatives besides the two that show up tomorrow that is. Oh she says to tell Tyki to call his father the first, an ass just because she can't do it herself at the moment."
"Got to go, make sure you tell Tyki what she said." Zero then hung up the phone before he turned towards Sha who looked at him curiously.
‘Why were you talking to them?’ Sha asked Zero though their mind link.
“Yagari apparently told certain things that I was a vampire as a child.” Zero said, “He almost told them my family’s greatest secret.”
“Ah you mean you being a pure blood too? Shizuka being your older sister? Your parents using a similar spell to the ones the Kuran’s use on that girl you knew? Take your pick I think I can think of more great family secrets.” Arisha said with a smile.
“Oh shove it,” Zero replied playfully, “But I could just imagine both their reactions if they knew.” Zero groaned.
“So what if that girl would want you now, it doesn’t matter she can’t have you. On the other hand though if that boy wants you I might seriously have to think about it.” She stated. Zero glanced at her like she was losing her mind.
“Think about how jealous that girl would be, plus you two would be way hotter together.” Arisha said smiling.
“You're crazy.” He said laughing at how well he could follow her train of thoughts nowadays. “But I might have to go back to do some damage control.”
“Don’t you mean we, I would love to meet these relatives of mine plus I have a bone to pick with Seth’s brother.” She said with a frown, “I can’t believe that ass. How could he do that to his own brother after hearing a confession like that. Seth adores him, even had a kid for him after being raped by him during his mating season when he couldn’t control himself. Seth even deleted his brother’s memory just so he wouldn’t have to bare with guilt and pain being caused.”
“So shall we take a trip then?” Zero said wiggling his eyebrows at her. She laughed at Zero’s expression as she nodded her head.
=== Zero’s coming home and with a gift~! ===
Dinner was relatively quiet as they ate. Yuuki made sure the topic stayed clear of Zero or anything having to do with him. The conversations made were of simple things and upcoming events, like tomorrow’s party. After dinner, maids showed Kurosu and Yagari to their rooms for the night. Kaname went to his room. Yuki also went to her room but waited some time trying to get her thoughts in order. She knew tomorrow’s party would announce their engagement and Yuki knew now for sure she couldn’t go through with it. She loved her brother yes but she knew now that she couldn’t love him the way he wanted for she loved Zero in that way.
Zero had always been there for her when she was upset, trying to make things better and comforting her. If she thought about she even had a little but of love like feelings for Aidou who tried teaching her how to fit in to vampire society. Yuki nodded her head she needed to tell him and it was now or never.
Yuki walked out of her room and knocked on her brothers door. Kaname quickly answered for Yuki never usually came to him after they had already said their good night’s. A bit a hope shinned in his eyes and it killed Yuki to know she was going to be the one to crush it, while on the other hand her vampire tendencies were please to be able to do so. Kaname quickly ushered her into his room.
“Kaname-nii-sama, your not going to like what I have to say but I need to tell you.” Yuki started. The light in Kaname’s eyes died out.
“So then it’s Kiryuu or no one then Yuki?” Kaname asked. Yuki shook her head.
“I’m sorry nii-sama, but it just can’t be you. I just can’t think about you in that way anymore. I’ve tried for I know how much, you have waited and how much you’ve done to protect me. But I just can’t and it hurts to know that I can’t give you the one things you’ve asked of me. I-I j-just..” Kaname gathered his sister into a hug. Although it broke his heart he knew how much she had truly tried.
“It’s alright Yuki, I’m sorry for burdening you with such thoughts.” Kaname said into his sister’s hair. They both cried although Yuki could not see her brother doing so she felt the wetness of his tears in her hair.
