Vampire Knight: Another Hunter

Zero's Secret

Shiho just out of the crowd smiling softly, it was chaos outside the Moon dorm, every girl had to be here and a few boys all lining up to see the night class students. Today was Valentine's Day and they were here to give chocolates and other gifts to the night class students they liked.

Even though Shiho knew what the night class student were he couldn't deny they were all gorgeous, Shiho just shook his head blushig a bit as Yuki struggled to control the crowd blowing her whistle loud enough to wake the dead to get their attention.

Yuki: Everyone go to class!

Girl 1: No far Yuki, you just want to keep them all to yourself!

Girl 2: Yeah! Get outta the way perfect, you think you're get to see them because your the headmaster's daughter?!

Shiho sigh as the girls kept yelling at Yuki. Sometimes they can real bullies to her unless Zero is around. Because when Zero is around, one death glare can sent them all packing!

One of the girls pushed Yuki causing her to lose her grip and fall, luckily Zero appeared right then and caught her.

Nice save

The crowd begin to run when Zero glares at them, Yuki comes over with Zero once everyone is gone and they walk to class together, Yuki ends up walking a little faster so they aren't late.

Zero: Hey...

Shiho looks to him, he wasn't one to start up conversations usually.

Zero: What were you doing last night, you don't want no one finding out, do you?

Shiho groaned.

Shiho: Can't I look after my friend?

Zero hums in response before smiling.

Zero: Shiho-chan...

Shiho: Zero for the last time, stop making my name sound like a girl.

He sees the smirk on Zero's face. He always hate it when people refer his name as a girl when he was obviously a boy. But because of the nickname, most girls and some boys in his class call him 'Shiho-chan'.

He suddenly saw Zero looking down with a frown.

Shiho: Are you still keeping your secret from Yuki.

Shiho, like most of the hunters, was aware of Zero's secret. He was a hunter turned vampire that was bit by a pureblood vampire. Pureblood Vampires only have the power to turn a human into a vampire or monster which result as a Level E. As a hunter, you have to be aware of the vampire status. Level A were of course Pureblood Vampires. Level B were Nobles or Aristocrats. Level C were just normal vampires. Level D were vampires below the status and are trated poorly. Level E are usually a human that is turned into a vampire or in Zero's case a beast in human form. Zero even hates himself for letting himself befall to such a fate. Because of that horrible night his parents were killed and his twin brother Ichiru disappeared which later was presumed dead. But in Shiho's case, he believes he betrayed Zero and is still alive. Zero does not want to drink any one's blood, so thanks to the headmaster, he has to take blood tablets. But who knows for how long. Zero does not want Yuki to know because he scared that he might lose her.

Zero:....I don't want to talk about it...

Shiho: Just keep fighting it, Zero...Afterall, I don't want to lose my friend...

Zero made a smile at Shiho.

Zero: I'll be fine. But if that day ever comes, and if I lose control...I want you to kill me...

Shiho: What?!!! No!

Zero: Please! I don't want to hurt anyone...

Shiho:...Alright...

Zero: Thank...

Shiho: Don't even say it...You nearly gave me a heart attack! Baka!

Zero: Sorry...

(Yuki's Pov)

I yawned stretching before their last class, Yori-chan packed up her books looking at everyone chattering excitedly.

Me: Are you giving chocolates to anyone Yori?

It surprised her for a moment.

Yori: Nah I can't be bothered...

She says this with a shrug, she also knew the night class didn't care and there wasn't anyone in the day class she would consider.

Yori: What about you?

I junped a little...She can't know what I going to do for Kaname-Sempai!

Me: I'm not…

She wasn't convinced...

Yori: I can see the box"

I blushed

Me: Well…I had to buy it, cooking was a disaster so…

Yori: So who are you giving it too?

I sink into the chair...

Yori: I mean it's not for the guy glaring at you behind us right?

I shot up looking, sure enough Zero was glaring daggers at us...Eep!

Zero: Are you seriously giving him that?

Boy...He was angry...Shiho was watching us with a funny expression. I hardly know Shiho-chan that much except that was Zero's only friend since middle school. Which makes me jealous that he's the only one Zero opens up too.

I mouthed 'Help Me'.

But he shook his head 'No'.

Traitor!!!

Yori smiled as we all stood for our next class.

(Shiho's Pov)

I was secretly out on patrols to make sure there wasn't any Level Es or vampires at the Moon Dorms out tonight. Level Es or Level End are what they called. They used to be humans until they lose their minds for the lust for blood. Making them monsters...The cruel reality is...They have to be exterminated. Which is why I'm on patrols by Headmaster...I usually do my work alone which gives me the title 'The Lone Hunter'.I'm lucky my roommate, Yoru don't suspect a thing when I'm out. I didn't want him to find out what I do at night, I would be exposed...Suddenly I sense someone behind me.

Me: Ya know, I sense your behind me, come on out, Zero.

Zero comes out of the bushes.

Zero: So your on patrols this time?

Me: Yep. But what are you doing out?

Zero: You forget I'm a perfect...It's also my job...

Me:  What about Yuki?

Zero: She decided to sleep in this time.

Me: So it's just you and me. Great, can't this night get any worse?

Suddenly the Night was quiet until a bunch of Level Es showed up surrounding us. Zero looked at me with a smug smirk on his face while pulling out bloody rose. I growled.

Me: Not. One. Word.
