Are We Hunting? (Zero)

[Blaise Redfern]

She was walking back towards the school, she had finished her jobs for now when it came to Level (Lebele) E's. She had to pretend that she really wasnt part of the organisation. She despised having to go along with Kaname but, she didnt particularly have a choice.

Hearing something come up from behind her she turned just as it came down on her. Ducking quickly and then pulled out her sharp blade and turned and decapitated him with ease, "I just want to get home!" She wailed childishly and kicking the head like a football before in discintegrated into ash. She smiled and then steppped over the ash piles and continued heading towards the school dorms again. She had cleaned out the next or so she thought. Obviously she hadnt because they were still coming. Then next thing she knew she was surrounded, "This cant be good..." She sighed with a childish pout. Her eyes then turned green. The Level (Lebele) E's howled in pain clutching his head.

Using her power on these creatures didnt scare her any. They rarely had any decent fears. But using it on alot at once made her head hurt. When she managed to get rid of the last one. Her eyes turned back to their purple color, "They hurt my head..." She grumbled rubbing her temples. As she continued again one just leapt out of her from the side. She had no time to act....

[Zero Kiryu]

"What a waste of time" Zero muttered under his breath as he walked back to Cross Academy. His adopted father and the chairman of Craoss Academy, Kaien Cross, gave Zero an order from the Hunters Association to go into town and hunt down the Level E's that were killing.
How it angered him that they only ever sent him orders to hunt just a few minutes away but he enjoyed the chance to get away from everyone for a while.
To actually be able to listen to his own thoughts without being interrupted every ten seconds either because he's not doing his job as a prefect seriously or for taking it seriously. Somethimes it really gave him a headache.
Turning around a corner he spotted them, Level E's, chasing after someone; he got out the Bloody Rose and chased after them.
When he turned the corner they were ash.
Except the one running at a girl.
Before the girl or the Level E could do anything Zero aimed the gun at the Level E and shot him as he pounced at the girl in mid air.
Zero looked around them making sure there were no more Level E's lurking around before turning to see if the girl was alright.
Then he realised who it was.
His eyes narrowed and he sighed in annoyance, he put his arm back at his side and with his free hand he rubbed at his temple.
"Blaise-san," he sighed, "it's only you. I thought it was someone imprtant."
He came closer to her, patting the ash from his jacket.
"What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be back at School?" He asked though he didn't really care if she answered.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise jumped hearing the gun shot coming whizzing past her and turning the Lebele E to dust almost instantly. Turning around she knew who it was almost instantly. Obviously it wasnt Kaname who had heard about this as well, "Zero-kun!!" Blaise said happily and then ran up to him, "I'm still reasonably important..." She whined and poked him in the chest.

She wiped the ash off her jacket then looked up at him again, "I could ask you the same question? Why are you not in school, doing your job as a guardian? Or prefect?" She asked him countering his questions with some of hers that were exactly the same. Then she grinned and put her hands around his neck pulling him a little close and then whispered in his ear, "Or did you hear about me coming out alone and you wanted to help me out?" Blaise asked closing the bit od distance between them. Almost everyone knew about her reputation in school. Then she answered his questions properly, "Kaname can be really evil sometimes. He sent me here...." Blaise said with a small wink. Even thought the command thing wouldnt work on her, "He is so paying for damages..." She complained looking down at her jacket where so of the Lebele E's had managed to hit her. Some of her jacket was torn, "No matter. I'm sure you will keep me warm.." She added with a small giggle.

[Zero Kiryu]

Hearing her shout his name happily he shuddered, there was something about Blaise that just gave him the creeps, and he grmaced when she poked him in the chest, refraining from shooting her then and there... but hee knew the power she possessed and thought better of it.
Zero looked around again, looking for more Level E's but also trying to ignore her - it didn't work - when he ignored her question she grabbed him by the neck and pulled him closer to her and she spoke in his ear.
"I was sent here by the Hunter's Association. My assignment was to track down the Level E's but it looks like you got here boefore me. What a waste of time this was!" he tried to pull away from her but she closed the distance off from them, he could feel her chest pressed against his, he could feel her chest rising up and down everytime she spoke.
Her giggle gave him shivers, it was the creepiest giggle he'd ever heard, he'd heard of Blaise's reputation. Hell, everyone in the school knew of her reputation but it was the first time she'd ever spoke to Zero this way before.
He wasn't sure if he liked it or not.

He placed his hands on her shoulders, he didn't grip tight though as he knew she would definatily tourture him if he hurt her, and he pulled her away from him softly and held her at a distance. "Blaise-san, I think you should head back to Cross Academy, get a new blazer. I'll stay here and make sure there's no more Level E's" he told her hastliy.

Her very presence made him uncomfortable.
He turned her around and shoved her lightly in the diection back to school.
Though, this may have just been a bad idea.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise smiled and looked at him, "Sorry, well you got one." Doing this should really been his job. Blaise however was bored had nothing else to do, so she reluctantly went. She noticed his little shudder to her little laugh and she just smiled, "Now, now. Dont be afraid." She said in his ear then nibbled it gently and then giggled again, "It wasnt a waste of time. Well this certainly isnt." She said with a smirk.

As he moved her away by placing hands on her shoulders and pushed her away from him she tilted her head to the side, "I can sort out my blazer later. Besides..." She said after she was pushed towards the direction towards the academy. A moment later she was gone from his sight and then landed on the floor directly behind him. Her grip was once again gentle but still like iron, "I'm having fun." She said in his ear again. She said then looked down at him with hurt in her eyes, "That actually hurt, Zero-kun..." She said with a weird pout and then sighed a little flicker of anger igniting in her eyes. Looking back at him again her hand went on his cheek, "Tell me, Zero..." She said forgetting the pleasantries, "Whats your worst fear?" Her eyes slowly tinting green, her illusion already entwinging itself in both of their eyes. She really hadnt wanted to do this, but she didnt like being rejected.

[Zero Kiryu]

As soon as Zero pushed her in the direction back to Cross Academy he could have sworn he went blind, one minute he was pushing her away and the next minute she was gone. Then he felt her hand on his arm, it may have looked like she held on lightly but she actully held him in a vice-like grip. He'd hate to admit that it actually hurt, he'd check to see if there was a bruise there when he gets back to his Dorm later on. Zero actually didn't realise Blaise was behind him till she spoke in his ear and he turned his head to see her pouting.
He had a bad feeling when her eyes brightened darkly.

As soon as her hand reached his cheek he knew what she was going to say before she even said it. He'd heard about the power she possed, how she could make people feel their worst fears, and he'd only seen her do it once. It was the scariest thing he'd ever seen due to the fact that she was such a tiny person and she could bring down an entire room in ashes purley with her mind.
He saw her eyes slowly turn green as she spoke the words he was dreading to hear.
What is my worst fear? He didn't want her to know his fear and use it on him. He had to think of a way out of her grasp, he needed a way to shock her out of those scary green eyes.

Without hesitation, and without thinking, Zero cupped his hands around Blaise's face, closed his eyes and his lips collided with hers.
He was suprised to find her lips soft and subtle.... he was more suprised that he actually liked it.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise looked down at him as her eyes slowly began to turn green. It was a shame she was doing this as soon as they had met pratically. But then agains she lets everyone know she isnt allowed to be rejected. She knew what his fear was already she just liked to see the occasional one answer her. She noticed his eyes flash with fear of what she was doing.

She was quite shocked he already knew about this? Well he had seen her do this only moments ago to all the Level E vampires. Her illusion was just about ready and then something shocked her interupting the illusion and thus breaking it off. Her eyes faded back to the normal purple. For a moment she actually kissed him back but still shock had her more than anything. Pulling away she just laughed and looked at him, "Well, well, well. Zero-Kun. I have to say, youve shocked me to the point of being almost speechless." She said not letting him go yet though, "Wasnt the best but certainly wasnt the worst. Lets just hope your a little better in bed, hmm?" She said with a small laugh in his ear.

She then quietened abit and turned to look at him, "I have to congratulate you though. The first person that has dared to stop me. And in a way such as that. And pulled it off..." Blaise said congrtulating him giving him a gentle pat on the back, "But do you want to know your worst fear? You acted as if you didnt know..." She asked him. Even if she couldnt sense them straight away, she had got far enough in creating the illusion to know what it was, "But I'll tell you. Wont show you..." She said. Some people who didnt know, usually preffered it to stay that way.

[Zero Kiryu]

Zero was a little suprised by his actions but he was more suprised when Blaise killed him back, he opened his eyes to see her eyes go drom the evil green back to their usual purple then quickly closed them again, only to be pulled away from her lips. Opening his eyes he saw her cheeks were a little flushed and her lips were pinker than normal and she was laughing at him which stung him slightly. He smiled a little when she spoke of being slightly shocked, which is what he was initially hoping for, and he noticed she was still holding onto him. "Well, I was planning on that, Blaise-san... I don't know who I shocked more though: You or Me." Zero said quite smuggly.
His smile didn't last when Blaise shot his ego down with the 'better in bed' comment and laughing flirtingly in his ear and all he could do was stutter for a few seconds, "B-Blaise-san...."
He never thought she was this forward.

When she spoke again more softly and congratulated him Zero did a double take. He'd never heard ehr speak so softly to anyone before, he'd never even seen her pat anyone on the back before so it took him a while to realise it was actually happening. When she asked if he wanted to know his fear he frowned slightly. "I know what my worst fear is, Blaise-san... at least I think I know it.... so many" he mumbled the 'so many' under his breath but loud enough for her to hear - hello she is a vampire.

He was a little shocked when she offered him the choice to know. Did he wan't to know? He had that many things he was afraid of he was scared to know which one he's more scared of.
Did he want to know?
"You really know it?" It wasn't really a question but meerly put out for declaration from her.
He looked her straight in they eye, "I want to know" he said seriously.
His whole body shook with fear.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise just laughed at that comment and then stroked his face again, "Now now, Dont be embarrassed. You could get in some practise for when it actually happens. Dont want to let the lucky girl down." She said patting his shoulder gently with a flirtatious grin, "Probably yourself more than me. But you suceeded in stopping me, that takes alot." She said laughing.

She just smiled this time genuinly. Usually it was a flirtatious or a sedecutive smile but right now it was just genuine smile, "Do you? Why were you so afraid to see it then?" She countered, "You do have quite a few. For instance mainly my kind, specifically one pureblood. Another fear is about a certain human. Weather she is safe alive. But your worst..." Blaise said stroking his hair out from his eyes. Then her eyes softened, "You urm... " She said slightly hesistant about it, "Your worst fear is urh, falling. To Level E. Then urh..." She said not being able to finish. It was quite an awful fear. She couldnt reegister as one of her own because she knew it would never happen to her. She couldnt fall and loose all her humanity.

She then gave a small laugh trying to get off the subject of his worst fear. She wasnt sure if he definetly was ready to know it all, "Course I can. I'm like an encyclopedia of all phobia's." She said with a grin.

[Zero Kiryu]

His cheeks reddened as she stroked his face and kept on getting redder as she went on about getting practise in for the 'lucky girl' and he got so embarrassed he had to look away from her to regain his focus and he heard her laugh and felt her pat his shoulder. He looked back at her and saw her smiling, not her usual flirtatious or seductive smile but her genuine smile, and he noticed for the first time that her smile was slightly crooked and her bottom lip was a little bigger than her top lip. He was a little upset that she not only knew he had many fears, he watched her count them off one by one and when she spoke about them he only realised how scared he still was of the pureblood that killed his parents then she spoke about Yuuki, she was also right about that; he often wondered if she was safe alive as she always seemed to attract trouble but one thing Blaise never picked up on was that his main wonder about Yuuki was that he was scared that he would one day end her life accidentaly. However, that wasn't his worst fear, Blaise was right his worst fear was falling to Level E, never being able to love another and only caring about where that next meal is coming from which person. It scared him to death. He was a little concerned why she never finished her sentance but never brought it up, he just wanted to forget it happened, wanting to forget that Blaise probably knew him better than anyone else.
He smiled slightly at her grin and her trying to change the subject, hopefully because she could sense it was upsetting.
"Shall we head back to Cross Academy?" He asked her.
He thought that she may have wanted to go back to change her blazer, he wasn't ready to go back yet but he thought he'd ask anyway.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise stepped back and let go of him after she had told him roughly his worst fear. He could figure the rest out on his own. He wasnt that thick, well at least she hoped so. When he asked her if they should return to the academy she shook her head, "One I dont want to. Secondly, there is still Level (LEBELE) E's around here." She said with a shrug and carried on walking. She knew she would inveitably run into another one. Well with Zero here she wouldnt find it too much of a trouble.

She turned and began to head back to the nest, "I probably didnt clean it out properly." She said continuing the short distance back towards the nest. When he didnt follow her she walked back to him and started to pull him with her, "Not going to leave me alone again are you? I might get attacked again..." Blaise said and with a small smile, "Then the death of a pureblood will be on your shoulders..." She said with serious eyes for a change. She didnt usually advertise that fact she was a pureblood. No one else knew because of the fact her parents had sent her to a mental home after she had killed her brother accidentally. So as far as the rest of the world was concerned they had no children, she didnt exist. She was just waiting to make her comeback, and properly get her revenge on her parents for doing that to her. Her grip unconsciously gripped her blade her knuckles going white with anger, no one could see though because she had a glove on covering her hand.

Hearing something coming up beside her again she dropped Zero's hand and quickly unsheated her small blade and embedded it in the heart of the Lebele E. As the vampire turned to dust she faced him, "See? Still crawling..." She said and then smiled and wrapped her arm through his and pull him along heading back towards the nest.

[Zero Kiryu]

Zero was a little suprised that Blaise didn't want to return to the academy, he thought she'd want to go back and get changed as he imagined her as a girly girl vampire; but, on the other hand, he knew she hated that school as much as he did so she found any excuse to get out like he does. He watched as she headed back in the direction towards the Level E nest, he didn't bother moving, she could take care of herself, she didn't need him so he just let her carry on. He bagan to head in the opposite direction when she started to pull him with her and he watched her flutter her eyes at him in what he thought was meant to be a flirting mannor but to him it looked more like a child with a bad case of cunjunctivitis. He frowned at her, "Death of a pureblood?" he asked quizzically. He thought for a moment then pointed at her,"Your a pureblood?"

That can't be right, he thought.
Zero went into full vampire hunter mode, thinking back to every pureblood family he'd ever read about. "Blaise Redfern: As in the Redfern purebloods?" he waited for her to answer, "Blaise-san, they had no children! How can you be a pureblood of the Redferns if they had no children?" he asked in a loud tone. Even he knew it was very much frowned upon lying about you bloodline, he knew you could be killed if you were found of treason.

Waiting for her answer was when he heard the rustling beside him, he didn't have time to get out the Bloody Rose though, but luckily Blaise was fast and Zero watched her unsheath a small blade and thrust it into the hear of the Level E, before the dust even settled she smiled back at him and took his arm, leading him away from the dusty mess. Zero unwound his arm from her grip and took her wrist and held it up, examining the small blade she held.
"This is an anti-vampire blade." He said mainly to himself, his eyes turned crimson in anger and he queezed her wrist, "Blaise-san, what the hell are you doing with an anti-vampire weapon?!" He yelled.
He could feel his blood boiling, the vampire inside him was taking over, he pushed Blaise against the wall of the alley. "Who the hell are you and what the hell are you doing with an anti-vampire weapon?!" He ordered, growling as he let the vampire inside take control for the first time.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise nodded in his direction when he repeated her words, "Yes. I am." Blaise said but continued walking anyway. When he didnt follow she stopped and looked back at him. She just found him him a thoughtful expression. When he spoke her name and then her family. She nodded again and then he said how they had no children, "Beileve me I'm not making it up. They did have children." She said and then shook her head, "Thats all you need to know. Now help me finish this job up properly. If I recall you had to save my ass tonight, so I could do with your help." She said with another smile and continued to pull him along.

They were just outside when the Lebele E's attacked her and her finishing it purely out of anger. When she had a grip on him was was going to lead him inside when he grabbed her wrist and held it up examining the blade she held in her gloved hand. When he realised it for what it was his grip got tighter and his eyes turned that shade of crimson. All Lebele's E's had that shade of eyes. She looked at him defiantly, "Why would I tell you? Its not important." She said back to him and got her wrist free but them him as a vampire pushing her up against the wall of the alley.

When he asked her both questions again she just told him, "Fine. I'll tell you. I was born first child to the redfern pureblood family. My brother soon after. My powers developed when I was roughly 10, him being 7." She said each word without phasing at it. She got over her past a long time ago, "See, I can cause nightmares too. I unconsciously caused my brother them. As a child you have so many fears. His mind couldnt stand the trauma and I killed him while he slept." She said without emotion. She sounded almost heartless, "My so called parents decided then that they were going to send me to a mental home. Obviously my brother got a death certificate, and the faked my death. To the entire vampire community." Blaise said, "I escaped the mental home by killing the doctors and came here. Satisfied?" She told him. She left out the bit about the weapon though deliberatly.

She then smiled noticing how he was holding her against the wall. Quite close considering. Since his vampire side was suddenly in control she used that to her advantage, "Hmm? Changed your mind then, I see." She said planting a small kiss on his lips, "Nothing stopping you, you know." She said and then met his lips again but didnt pull away as fast.

[Zero Kiryu]

Zero was stunned when he found out that Blaise was infact a pureblood vampire. He couldn't even move due to his brain thinking so much. When Blaise took his arm and started pulling him along was when he figured out how he recognised her name. That was when he realised there were pureblood vampires the Redfern's though he couln't recall them having children. Blaise confirmed this however, stating that they did have children and she was one of them. Again she took his arm and told him that he was here to saver her tonight and he let himself be pulled along by the small, but very strong, female.

Just as they rounded the alley towards the Level E nest was when they were attacked by one. Zero didn't have time to get out his gun but Blaise was able to pull out a small blade and stabbed the Level E in the heart. As soon as it was ash Zero took Blaise's gloved hand in his and he examined the blade, recognising the marking on the blade as the same markings on Artemis - Yuuki's weapon against vampires - he tightened his grip around her wrist and he asked her why she had one. She was very vague and snattched her wrist back.

He wouldn't let it slide though, being as stubborn as he is, he asked her about the weapon and about the pureblood family she was supposedly a child of. He was a little supried that she answered the family one as quickly as she did. He listened as she nonchalantly told him about how her powers killed her little brother in his sleep and that her parents thought it best to stick her in an institution and told everyone that their kids were dead and that she escaped the institution and came to Cross Academy. He didn't know whether to be shocked or impressed.
He asked her about the weapon but she told him nothing. When she looked away he couldn't take his eyes off her neck and he could feel his eyes changing colour and his fangs getting longer. He grabbed her and pushed her against the wall of the alley and he saw her smile. He felt her soft lips on his once again then saw her smiling at him when she pulled away. Though, she planted another kiss on his lips but she took longer to pull away.
Zero pulled away from her and looked at her.
He'd never been more attracted to her than he'd ever been before. Obviously the vampire in Zero was very attracted to Blaise and the human side of Zero wasn't strong enough to hold it's urges. Zero crashed his lips with her's feircly and held onto the back of her head so she couldn't pull away and he wrapped his other hand around her waist and pulled her up slightly so he didn't have to bend down so far to kiss her.

[Blaise Redfern]

Blaise just looked at him after she had answered his question. Not all of it. The fact she had this weapon really wasnt his business, neither was her past. But the weapon and the past were connected. When she was able to move her arm again she once again sheathed the blade. She couldnt hold it for too long at a time. She actually quite shocked herself when she went and kissed him. But then again it soon went.

It was time for her to be shocked again, when he once again met her lips. This wasnt just a normal kiss trying to shock her out of using her powers or a simple meeting of the lips. She soon went with it though, the shock of it passing almost instantly. Somehow she felt the odd need to move indoors. One hand snaked around his neck pulling herself up a little and them a tad bit closer while the other one looked for the handle.

Upon finding it she twisted it around and she moved backwards pulling him with her into the building and moved back so she was against the wall again. The other arm reached around his waist and one of her legs encircled around his and was already stroking the back of his, by moving it up and down. She moved her kisses to his neck and got a little sniff of his blood that she took a quite inhale and almost moaned her fangs getting a little longer. Good thing about purebloods they had a selection. Vampire or human blood could satisfy them just fine.
