Vampire Knight: Awakening

Always hunted

~Chapter 5~

A calming silence controlled the air, small breaths and snores sounding off from the two forms seated on a large libraries couch. A man with dark hair and eyes shifted, watching both young teens with a family man's smile. A book was firmly held on top of his lap, laid forgotten hours ago as he watched his kids. They tried to stay up with him as he studied the family history tied to him. Or well, tried to.

A bang suddenly went off, making him jolt and search around with confusion. Nothing more followed and he almost relaxed back onto the couch he sat on when it went off again, the teens undisturbed.

This time, Kaname got up and walked towards the window to look down. Below was a man clicking the doorbell now, the ding sounding off a few times before the man hit the door knob off and walked in...

The brunet male scrunched his brows and walked over to grab the gun he was given. It had been a few weeks since the day he was given it. Zero had been staying beside them and letting Kaname get to know him. The two were getting along nicely and he even got to meet more vampire ex-friends. Everything was good, Kiryu still taught Kuran how to shoot and had problems with remembering his promise to live in the now and not compare him to the past. But that was all.

When Kaname had finally finished going down the stairs he was met with the invader. A black-haired green-eyed gentleman stood just centimeters below his height.

He saw the other's view grow wide. "Oh? So Zero has a human pet now. I thought the ex-hunter refused to do vampire-like things." The man shifted walking toward the brunet intimidatingly. "By the way. Do you perhaps know where he is? He's been off duty so I thought I'd find him. Stole the house address and everything."

This immediately put Kaname on edge! Clutching the gun in hand. Knowing Zero, the silveret would have shoved it in the man's mouth, but Kuran carried more class than that.

Kaname, "I think you should leave. Breaking an entire is quite low." Tilting his head, a condescending aura spilled out. "Have vampires lost so much class nowadays that they think by having power they can act like trash?"

Kuran could see rage flash through those now red eyes, the vampire seeming ready to attack but froze. "Kaname Kuran?" he asked with disbelief.

Not comfortable with the way the man addressed him he kept his face blank and didn't answer.

The vampire then smiled and before Kaname knew it he was slammed to the floor with a hand around his neck. "That explains so much... This is why Kiryu's been hiding and seems to have gained his powers again."

Kaname gripped at the invaders hand, his teeth grinding as he tried to push the man off. He felt as the man moved his head and tilted the collar of his shirt down. "If I drink your blood till its dry, then I should grow in po-"

A foot suddenly met with the attacker's face.

Kaname froze as he looked up to see a soaking wet Zero with a towel loosely on his hip about ready to fall off as only a hand clutched it still.

"I can't take a fucken shower in peace!?" Kiryu asked, sounding utterly annoyed.

The vampire before both Kiryu and Kaname got up to massage his face, his red eyes seeming to roam the man before them. "Ah, the pretty pure blood toy is out to play?" His smile grew as he carefully walked towards the silveret, yanking a few strands. "How will the order feel about you hiding the pureblood leader?"

Kiryu slapped him off, his glare growing. Lilac orbs begin to glow as cherry blossoms begin to circle around them.

The vampire threat looked around, still amused. "Ah... This power suits you much more than the roses... To think you somehow inherited her powers too, it's wonderful."
