term, she told herself, before sinking into a deep sleep.

A silhouette of a cloaked man running over the roofs, cast shadows over the large mansion. He slipped in through the window and bowed down panting.
“Master…” He panted. “She…she got away. The Kiryu son appeared and all the men were killed.”
A man appeared before him in the shadows, the only feature visible were bright glowing eyes. He flung a chair at his quivering servant, who ducked down as the chair hit the wall and smashed.
“This is what I paid them for??!” He bellowed.
“Master, please…” The servant pleaded. “I’m sure they would have succeeded if the other Hunters hadn’t arrived.”
The master stood silently. “Keisha won’t get away that easily; we have too much use of her to simply let go.” He sighed. “It seems Lady Miena might be a better strategy. Go to her. Tell her your unnamed master will pay handsomely for bringing Keisha Vinn, drained of blood and energy…to the Northern graveyard. One week.”
The servant relaxed a little. “As you wish, master. May I ask, master, whether you want this girl alive or dead?”
He laughed. “I prefer her to be alive.”
The servant bowed down again. “As you wish, my Lord.”
“And make sure no one sees you.” He added. “And also bring me some more…bodies, human and vampire. I need blood.”
“Yes, my Lord.” The figure touched his head to the floor, before turning and jumping out of the window once again.
The master laughed. “So it seems, my dear, you have a few body guards…” The windows shattered. “…it won’t protect you.”

“I don’t get it.” Arrau got up with a sigh. “The guests saw a dark clad figure hanging around outside this room – and they didn’t come tell their Lord Kuran?”
Kaname narrowed his gaze. “I wondered that too. But I suppose there is little wonder – vampires aren’t that suspicious of dark-clad figures, and nor are we as paranoid as humans tend to be.”
“Why are you helping anyway?” Zero asked icily. “If vampires aren’t so paranoid, why don’t you go back to your cosy room and leave us to the investigation?”
“Zero…” Kaien sighed.
“Because you ripped a hole in my house.” Kaname replied. “And because that nice Hunter girl will most probably be attacked again and probably be killed the second time. That would upset Yuki.”
Zero glared at him and Kaname glared back. Yuki sighed. “Maybe if work together a bit more, we might find out who was behind this.” She says.
“We don’t need your help.” Zero snapped.
“And you left her alone in the Cross house?” Kaname asked, still looking at Zero. “How quaint. You don’t need any help at all it would seem.”
Zero frowned. He couldn’t stay with her. Things were getting…deep. He turned away, deciding to ignore the pureblood Kurans.
“Wait, you left her alone?!” Arrau turned to Zero. “What if they followed you?? What if they’re at the house right now??”
Zero got up again looking bored. “We teleported – the only way someone would know where she was, is by overhearing you two repeating her location and how defenceless she is over and over again.” Arrau shut up and Kaname frowned again
“Maybe we should head back.” Kaien said with a sigh. “School starts again tomorrow, and we should make sure everything is in check. And that my niece if faring okay.”
“That sort of makes her my cousin, right?” Yuki said smiling. “Wow, I’d love to meet her again some time.” Kaien smiled.
“Not in your life.” Zero glared.
“Do you wish to repeat that?” Kaname said frowning.
“Okay guys!” Kaien says stepping between Kaname and Zero. “We best get going now, Kaname, thanks again for your help. Yagari will stay here and continue with the investigation. We best get Yori home too. Yuki turned to give her best friend a hug.
“Thanks for coming Yori.” She said smiling.
Yori smiled and hugged back. “No matter what happens. You’ll always be…”
“My best friend.” They spoke in union.
Zero rolled his eyes and walked out of the room. Ignoring the farewells uttered and walked out of the house. Keisha. He sighed and looked up at the night sky. Why was it that his heart was so attracted to her? But, he glanced back at the house, yet the human Yuki still…meant something. He shook his head. No; Yuki meant nothing. She’s now nothing but an evil pureblood daughter of the Kurans. Disgusting creatures; he thought, walking ahead.

Keisha bounded downstairs for breakfast that morning; Zero looking as bored as ever. She bit her lip and turned to Kaien instead.
“Morning uncle.” She said. Zero looked up at her voice.
“Morning, dear Keisha.” Kaien smiled. “Did you sleep well?” Did she sleep well? Not at all, she dreamt of violet and silver all night.
“Yeah, okay.” She shrugged, sitting down to eat her breakfast. “But uncle…I wanted to ask you something…”
Kaien looked back at her from the stove. “Yes dear?”
She sighed and glanced at Zero before looking at the headmaster. “I—I want to train.”
Kaien put down his cake batter with a frown. “Train? To be a hunter?”
She nodded. “Please uncle?”
He sighed and moved over to her. “Keisha…if this is because of what happened yesterday; it’s okay; we’ll protect you.”
“Uncle I know…” She shook her head. “I know you will. I just really want to train. I’ve been meaning to for ages, but yesterday just reminded me how long it’d been since I learnt the basics! Uncle please?”
Zero got up this time. “I’ll teach her.” He offered. Kaien and Keisha both turned to look at him surprised. Keisha’s gaze softened and then she looked back at Kaien. Kaien sighed.
“Sure, why not.” He shrugged. “I’ll have to tell your father though.”
Keisha smiled and gave him a hug. “Oh thank you uncle!” She grinned.
Kaien laughed. “Only if you both show me you can cooperate.” Keisha stepped back and he continued. “The builders fixed our front gate, but it looks ugly. If you both can work together to repair the front stone gate; I’ll let you train.”
Keisha nodded. “Okay.”
Zero sighed. “Do we have to?”
Kaien nodded. “Yes you do.” He gestured at Keisha, issuing a silent warning.
Zero glanced at Keisha and then sighed. “Fine.”
Keisha squealed. “Yes! Oh thank you uncle! I love you Zero!!” She stopped suddenly. Zero froze as well. Kaien laughed at patted her head.
“You’re welcome.” He smiled. “Now you better get going. School starts soon, and just because there is no morning duty today doesn’t mean you can be late for class.”
Putting her dishes in the sink, she picked up her bag and walked to the door.
“Okay, we’ll see.” She smiled. Zero picked up his bag and followed her out. Ambushed

Miena toyed with her silver flute while a dark-clad servant waited patiently in front of her for her decision. She finally looked up and smiled.

“So you want this Keisha girl, for whatever price I put on?” She asked raising an eyebrow. “And you won’t even tell me your master’s name?”

The servant shook his head. She laughed.

“You know I can get the name forcefully, don’t you?” She asked. He nodded. She sighed. “Well, tell him I’m no cheap disposable criminal for hire. If all he has to offer is money, I suggest he look elsewhere.”

The servant looked up. “So you refuse?” He asked.

“I gave you my answer.” She said tapping the flute gently to her cheek. “You are dismissed.” He bowed and turned and leaped out of the window obligingly. She rolled her eyes with a sigh. Vinn was sure getting herself tangled in some deep trouble.

She pondered further on what action would be appropriate. She could easily have extracted a name from the servant – but that was hardly subtle or of enough gain for the possible risks it could pose. She traced the flute again gently. She could notify the headmaster; especially after what happened at the Kuran estate. She smirked, or she could enjoy the entertainment on offer. There was a knock at her door.

“Come in.” She voiced. The door opened and in stepped Kāos.

He bowed down low and she gestured him to speak. “I couldn’t find out what was exchanged in that room.” He said. The room Senri and Rima were talking to Kaname.

She nodded. “Never mind that, Kāos, I have a new task for you.” She smiled

“I can’t believe I agreed to this.” Zero had been complaining for a while now – all through lunch actually. It was the best time to do it as there was a soccer match at the other side of the school and basically no one was around. Keisha gave him a look and continued tying up a part of the new frame for the front gate of the academy. He sighed and pulled another bar down to be tied.

“Now, just tie that off, and then you can do that whoosh thing…” Keisha said signalling with her hands, “and fill it up with stone and I’ll fit a blood stone at the centre of the Academy cross.”

Zero quirked an eyebrow. “That whoosh thing?”

She stomped her foot lightly in irritation. “You know! Where…where the rock goes all liquid-y and you kinda…” She gestured a lifting motion with her hands. “You know, move it, and it goes all whoosh.”

He looked at her blankly, before bursting into laughter. She frowned in response. He shook his head and leant back on the frame. “You really do have a way with words.” He joked laughing. She stomped her foot again.

“Zero! You know what I mean!” She said furrowing her brow.

He calmed himself down and smiled. “Yeah, okay.” He smiled. “I gotcha.”

She tied of the final part of the frame and pulled over the long ladder. He smirked – too adorable. His eyes flashed red for an instant as the stones liquefied and glided through the frame into the shape of the large stone arch. Climbing up the ladder, she held her large blood stone near the centre of the arch.

“Okay, I got it.” She said. Zero’s eyes flashed again as the arch turned solid, the large bloodstone glued to its centre. She turned with a bright smile.

“Now we just need to carve out the cross and we’re done. Oh, and test the metal drop-gate thing.” She said grinning.

Zero smirked and took hold of the ladder. “Okay then come down.”

“You can’t make me.” She said with a defiant smirk. He smiled mischievously – a challenge had been issued. Taking hold of the ladder he gave it a jerk, her face reflected utter shock and she let a scream rip as she plummeted down. Zero opened his arms and moved forward quickly; she wasn’t actually meant to fall!

“Keisha!” He gasped as she fell down onto him. Although he caught her, the sheer surprise and force had him land on the ground with a thud. His arms quickly wrapped around her to keep her in place, her lips brushing against his cheek. They lay there frozen for a few seconds; Zero had absorbed most of
