Let's Go!!!

Chapter Thirty Two
"There's a damn lot of them."
Cross barely spared a glance in Toga's direction. "Now we know why there's been a surcease of level E activity in the city."
Toga nodded. "That or someone has been creating them for this specific reason." And they could very well guess who.
"I wouldn't put it past the president." Toga shook his head in disgust, wondering how Cross could be so calm as he was defending the front gates of his dream.
"The night class?"
"They've spread out onto the campus to take care of the ones who came in a different way."
"Good, I've no doubt Rido is somewhere inside the school. He won't come by the front gate. They'll need you."
"I'm not leavi-"
"Go." Cross' voice was glacier hard. "I can take care of the ones here. They can't go up against Rido alone." His voice softened to velvet in a blink. "And I'll give you that kiss you've always wanted."
Stunned at the blatant overture at a time like this and when the Headmaster had ignored him for so long, Toga nodded again in agreement. "I'll hold you to that."
"I won't forget."
Cross waited until Toga's venomous aura was long gone.
"You can come out now."
"Shrewd as always." The Association President materialized in the tree above him. "I really don't get how all these fools fall for your act."
Cross grunted with abhorrence, his face finally showing his inward feelings accurately. "They same way they don't fall for yours." He didn't look up, keeping his eyes on the salivating level E's in front of him instead. He recognized a lot of the faces among them. "How many did you turn?" His displeasure was like a broiling inferno that seemed to burn the air around them.
"The ones who didn't resist. Those who wanted to see the new era. The rest of them are dead. Oh, except the one who managed to escape."
Decimating the hunter race to almost zero. She didn't have to say it, he could feel it deep inside. And deep inside agony simmered beneath the rage he felt. "This was your plan all along." It wasn't a question.
"The weak have no place in the era of Kings." The President's laugh was like the white rabbit's, high and manic. "And by now your precious son and Kuran are dead. There's no one who can stop us!"
Cross laughed. "Are you forgetting I'm here?"
"Even you, the fangless vampire can't stop us!"
Cross made the inquiry almost casually. "So do you plan to do. Once you've won? Rule the world? Do you think Rido will let you? The vampire council is dead.He'll want to rule absolutely."
The President's smile spread across her face in an obscene parody of delight. "I'm the better model vampire. Rido will do as he's told. Like the rest of them."
"You're underestimating everyone."
"And you're stalling."
Cross brought his sword up in a lightening quick movement, blade meeting the sturdy steel enforced wood of the president's fan, stopping the razor sharp knife millimeters from his face. He kicked the level E brave enough to attack with her, sending it flying back as he whirled, the vicious swipe of his own sword missing the President's midsection as she leaped away. He didn't hesitate, following swiftly, thrusting the cold length of his blade in towards her eyes, catching the wood as she brought the fan down in an overhead swing.
She was fast, faster then any normal vampire that he'd faced. And stronger. He grunted as he felt the bone of his wrist give.
The President smiled, her eyes sly. "Oh? Did you think I was an ordinary vampire? One about to fall to level E? Sorry to have confused you vampire hunter!"
"Bitch!" Cross tumbled nimbly, planting his good hand on the ground, his leg jackknifing into a straight kick, heel bashing into her chin. He returned her smile as he heard her jaw break under the enormous pressure. He continued the flip, landing on the balls of his feet. He didn't rest there for long; he was moving. Too fast for human eyes could follow. He touched his wrist, the healing charm doing its work in the instant it took to get back to her.
She blocked his two handed strike, pushing him back. She touched a hand to her jaw, using the same healing charm.
They circled each other like two wary lions. His mind frantically worked through strategies even as he tried to keep one eye on her and one on the waiting horde of level E's. He wondered why they didn't attack, knowing they could overtake him in the ensuing melee.
"They listen quite well for mindless pawns. And I don't need them to defeat you. I'll just send them in to the school and have them eliminate your precious charges."
What was she reading minds to? The surge of anger took him through her attack. He murmured the incantation to the charm as he went. Electricity swept up the wood of her fan as they connected, his entire body now covered with it. It shook the president, the current distracting her. She couldn't stop the foot that plowed into her belly, dropping her to her knees with the inhuman force egged on by his rage; couldn't stop the mighty swing that disconnected her head from her body. She was still alive and aware when Cross whispered another incantation setting the pieces of her body on fire.
"Like I said. You underestimate us."
He turned to meet the level E's head on, his blade still crackling with residual electricity.
KxZ

Seiren smashed into a knot of level E's, spinning in a deadly circle of flashing hands. When she came to a stop, the ring of mindless vampires burst into dust around her. The sounds from the other dying E's echoed behind her and he turned, feeling heat at her back. Kain stood, fire trailing from the tips of his fingers. He inclined his head politely indicating another patch of E's and they both headed that way, passing Shiki who had several E's caught in whips of blood. A flash of fire and more dust filled the air. Ruka was standing in front of even more E's palm out and they looked at her as if entranced. Seiren wondered what she was showing them. A bolt of lightning streaked down striking them
Ichijo and Yuki were back to back, the sliver gleam of his sword reflecting the moon light into the forest. Yuki held the Artemis Rod, her face a mask of pained concentration. She bore the pain of holding her weapon with forced stoicism so that Takuma's attention to the E's wouldn't diverted, though she knew her discomfort was shaking the bond. The staff flew up as a level E darted in and it back away with a howl of anger and pain. She glanced at the sky wishing that Kaname and Zero would hurry.
Just a little longer, Ichijo's voice whispered in her head. It fortified her.
Claws clanged off the silver rod as she caught an E leaping for Takuma's back. She heaved and it flew backwards while she stepped forward taking its head with a mighty slash.
They better hurry!
Takuma laughed out loud, his normally serene face savage.
And suddenly the entire forest went quiet, the level E's stopping their attacks abruptly. Everyone froze. Her breath whooshed out of her chest as a man stepped from among the trees in front of her. She jerked in surprise. He looked so much like Kaname he could have been his younger brother. She stumbled, a sense of vertigo overwhelming her senses. She hit Takuma's back and realized in horror that he couldn't move either.
Run Yuki!
I'm not!
She screamed through the bond, getting her point across, offended that he would think that she would leave him. She tightened her grip on Artemis and planted her feet in the grass.
As if I would leave you to die!
Rido smirked at her, a horrifyingly seductive smirk that she knew must have felled thousands of women before her. It sent an icy shiver up her spine. He was like a corrupted version of Kaname, dressed in a sharp suit, hair waving around his expansive shoulders. But he seemed dirty as if his sinister thoughts bled out onto his exterior. She stayed put as he came, eyes wary.
What are you doing Yuki? Get out of here!
She'd never heard Takuma be forceful. It almost made her grin. The man who willingly stayed in Kaname's shadow was willing to step out into the light. For her. She gripped Artemis tighter, this time inviting the burn of it against her skin. It kept her alert.
"My, my. You'e almost as beautiful as Juri. I can't believe that old man passed you up to mate a filthy level D. I have to say. Somethings don't run in the family."
"Says the man who kidnapped him." She snarled back.
Rido laughed, a slimy sound that slicked dirt on her subconscious. She grimaced, wanting to throw herself in the nearest bath. She forced herself to stay still.
Just a little longer.
The ugly version of Kaname stopped in front of her, his roving away to roam over the frozen nobles. "And he left you with an inferior guard to cement his stupidity. Come with me and I will make sure you live like the princess you are."
Artemis swept up as she plunged it into his stomach, satisfied with his growl of pain as the charge jolted him. She brought it up slamming it into his chin as he half bent over. The rod danced over her knuckles and she caught it in both hands as Rido hit the ground.
"No one talks about Kaname or Zero that way!" She spat, furious. "And especially not you!"
"And feisty too." Rido chuckled. "Come with me."
"I would never go willingly with you."
Resolve swirled up and seemed to shoot into her hands. The burn of Artemis almost became too much to bear. She hung on by sheer will as Rido shot off the ground, hate turning his face into something ugly. She swung Artemis.
Shock roared through her body.
I will not let you kill them!
Light cut through the forest, momentarily blinding everyone. She felt the impact of Artemis clashing with Rido's claws. The collision reverberated through her body and then Artemis was lighter and she could no longer feel the sting of it against her palms. But from the sound Rido made he definitely still could. She stumbled backwards as the bright light faded, taking Artemis with her. She stopped, astounded as a long scythe rose before her eyes, then jerked it up for a better look. That accidental move saved her life. Rido's talons collided with the blade. A shock of white light eclipsed her vision and she fell with a short cry. Ichijo cursed her, still paralyzed. Rido towered over her.
"Do you think that little weapon can kill me? Its minor to what I'm going to do to you!"
Shit! Not fast enough!
She wasn't going to be able to bring Artemis up fast enough to block his blow, her position on the ground severely hampering her movements. Yuki felt her eyes close, though the most precious moments of her life flashed across her closed eyelids.
Kaname. Cross. Zero…..Takuma.
I love you.
She felt the killing intent, the sharp nail biting into her cheek…..And then it stopped. Her eyes gaped open and she almost crowed in delight.
Metal tipped claws tangled with Rido holding them off with effortless strength. Kaname's long form was a dark shadow in her vision.
"I wouldn't give up so easily Yuki." He chided her softly.
"Yeah especially when it's this scum."
Yuki beamed and just stopped herself from throwing herself in Zero's arms. Instead she scooted away from the collision course from which she'd narrowly been saved. Lavender eyes flickered over her briefly, then his attention was back on Rido. She startled when hands clamped over her shoulders and turned her head to meet Ichijo's facade of calm. Because under that placid mask boiled a river of violence.
When I tell you to run you run!
She winced. "Later you can scream at me all you want. We have to help Zero and Kaname."
"Do you really think those two need help?"
Maybe not.
"Filthy low level hunter!"
Zero shrugged his shoulders and gave Rido a grin that did nothing to light his eyes. It belonged in the age when saber tooth tigers had walked the earth. He was barehanded, but that didn't matter. He paced forward slowly, nonchalantly as if Rido hadn't threatened all he held dear. He felt good, vitality and health flowing through his system like a clean, clear river. He felt like he could take on a hundred Rido's and have enough energy left over to make love to Kaname all night.
I appreciate the sentiment but can we hurry? I would definitely like to get to that bed.
Pervert!
Well, I'm not the one envisioning making love when Rido is standing right before us.
Right.
He moved, as fleet footed as a deer; sure and deadly. Rido jerked backwards, tripping over his own feet, eyes wide as stiff fingers stabbed past his face. His palm smacked into Zero's elbow, blocking it as it swung in towards his jaw. But barely and he didn't have enough speed to stop the fist that plowed into his sternum. Air exploded from his mouth and he threw himself backwards frantically instead of dropping to his knees like his body wanted to.
"Fuck!" He wheezed. "What did you do?"
But suspicion was sneaking around in his head. He looked at Kaname who gifted him with his own smirk, a perfect eyebrow arched.
Abruptly Zero stepped forward gripping his finger with iron fingers, holding him still for the slap that crashed into his cheek. "Shut up! You don't get to ask questions!"
Rido tried to dislodge the hand, agony ringing through his face, and recognized with utter horror that he couldn't. Zero slapped him again, totally aware of the night class staring at him in amazement. Rido could also and anger, shame and desperation filled his with power. He lunged forward, switching his attempted direction, talons shredding cloth and vulnerable skin. He felt more than heard the thud of his claws against ribs and smiled in triumph.
It slid from his face when the hands didn't loosen in the slightest measure. Not even a sound of pain from the impact. He withdrew his hands mouth a round o as the skin re-knit over bones like magic, leaving it pale and healthy. Zero cocked his head to the side and laughed.
"I'm going to kill you. Just like I promised. But first."
The first punch broke his nose, the second his own ribs. The third thudded against the soft tissue of his throat. Rido felt each blow like a hot brand, agony flaring in his head like white lights. His mind became hazy with it as Zero pummeled him. The sky tilted above his head as he tumbled to the ground, his legs giving out. His eyes cracked open when Zero straddled his chest, his face resolute. Unblinking lavender eyes met his and he saw his death there.
Rose
Zero thought it and felt the heat slide down over his wrist and fingers as Bloody Rose materialized in his hand. He could also feel his blades throbbing just underneath his skin ready to be called.
Well, that handy.
He felt everyone's surprise as he pressed the barrel of the gun flush against Rido's head. His eyes didn't leave Rido's, feeling as if he were looking at the man down a long corridor.
You will never hurt my family again.
Rido, limp beneath him, saw his killing resolve.
"Didn't know you had it in you. A filthy level D with the guts to kill a pure-"
Rose coughed, cutting off the abrasive words and Zero fell on one hand, crystals of death feeling alien under his hands. His fingers opened but Rose didn't fall to the ground. It melted deep into his body once again. He took a deep breath and collapsed, rolling over so he wasn't lying in what was leftover of Rido. All the feelings he'd kept at bay crashed over him. He laughed, sounding like a maniac.
It was over and they were all alive.
"Uh, Zero?" Yuki's hesitant voice interrupted his happy hysteria. "I know you're feeling good and all but umm, there's still dozens of level E's to get rid of."
He stood, the world finally on his side. He looked to where Kaname and the night class were cutting a swath through the level E's.
"Yeah let's do that."
KxZ
What seemed like hours later, Zero once again lowered his body into the ground, this time with Kaname right beside him. The dark was pale around the edges as dawn approached. He smiled at his pure blood, the night class dropping like exhausted dominoes around him. Toga, who had shown up during his fight with Rido, sat down next to him. He wasn't smiling but his face didn't hold his usual animosity when he was around vampires.
"You did good kid."
"He did." Kaname bestowed a warm, love infused smirk on him. "It was beautiful to watch." Lips followed the praising words and suddenly Zero found himself draped over his pureblood's lap locked in a kiss that could have scorched the grass beneath them. He pushed away in embarrassment, noting the eyes of the night class on them.
"Enchanting." Kaname murmured in his ear. "You faced down Rido without a qualm and yet you can still blush over a kiss."
"Yeah in front of the night class." He huffed but made no move to extract himself from Kaname's arms. He turned his eyes to the vampires. "Who of which should get back to the Moon Dorm. The sun will be coming up soon."
"I suppose you're right." Ichijo pulled Yuki to her feet. "I feel like I can sleep for an eternity."
Seiren looked over at Kaname as Shiki, Rima, Ruka, Kain and Aido followed suit. "Aren't you coming?"
Kaname shook his head. "I no longer have to avoid the sun. I think we'll sit out here a little while longer."
She bowed. "As you wish."
Zero waited until they were gone. "So what did you do to me?"
Toga glanced at him sharply. "Didn't you read that journal I gave you?"
"Huh?" Zero's gave him a blank look.
Toga spoke slowly as if to an idiot. "You know after your three escapade when you came to Cross' office. I gave you a journal to read."
"Oh." The blush burning his cheeks deepened. "It's somewhere in our rooms. Kaname confiscated it when he emptied my room. I haven't even thought to look for it."
"Useless pupil." Toga sighed. "I don't know why Cross keeps insisting- Shit! Cross!" He stood quickly and was gone before either of them could process his statement.
Alone they just stared at each other, savoring each other and the absence of impending danger as dawn crept across the sky. Finally Zero cleared his throat. "You were saying?"
Kaname laid a hand over his heart. "I didn't do anything. You opened you heart and soul to me and in doing so allowed our natures to connect and meld into one. Imagine all the strengths of hunters and vampire but with none of their weaknesses. It's what makes hunter/vampire mates so strong. And why it's frowned upon by both institutes. No one can stand against us."
"What about my weapons?"
"Well, I've never seen that before. But both are imbued with the blood of purebloods but tools of the hunters. It is only natural that they would revert back to their natural habitat and you being my mate would match both categories. They're your weapons."
"But I'm not a pureblood." He protested.
Kaname stroked a hand through his hair. "Oh no Zero, you are much, much more than that now. As I am."
Fingers closed over soft, silver locks in a firm hold, tilting Zero's head back. Eyes, still dark like the fleeing night, captured his. "I hope you're ready. I may not let you out of my sight for the next millennium." Soft lips captured his, cutting off his reply. Kaname tipped him back onto the grass, pressing full length against him.
"Wait!" Breathless, Zero pushed on his chest. "Surely you don't meant to- not out here!"
Kaname paused his mouth a breath from covering his own. "Ichiru's in our room."
Zero couldn't respond verbally, as Kaname was reacquainting himself with the feel of his mate, safe and whole beneath him.
KxZ
Cross didn't look up as Toga appeared at his side. His katana lay over his knees and his honey blonde hair dripped down his back. "I was wondering when you were going to remember me. I take it Rido is dead."
Toga flopped down. "Yeah. You should have seen it. Zero beat him to a pulp and then did what needed to be done."
"That's my son." Cross' voice was proud. "I took care of the president."
Toga started. Cross went on not giving him a chance to speak. "I want him to become president, but we'll have to find what's left of the hunters and rebuild the Association. Are you up for that?"
"Yeah, considering Kaname will agree to it."
"Oh, I think he will. I don't think he had any other intentions on it being the any other way. We'll all support him."
Toga slanted him a look. "Do you think Zero will agree to that?"
"We'll make him." Cross laughed. "It's going to be a lot of work."
"Yeah."
Silence stretched out between them.
"About your promise." Toga hedged.
Cross turned suddenly and warmth lingered on his cheek. "I never forget my promises."
Toga blushed, head swiveling around. "That's not what I mea-"
"I know. I'm not as naive as that."
When Cross' lips slipped over his, Toga knew he would support anything Cross proposed.
KxZ
Sorry I have this thing with my heroes walking in and kicking ass and coming out with nary a scratch on them. Think (movies) UltraViolet or Equilibrium (Actually directed by the same person) and you'll see what I mean. And I felt that RIdo just need a good old fashioned ass whipping LOL!

Until Next Time….
