Chapter 1

~ X ~

The black figure moved fast as it jumped from rooftop to rooftop avoiding the people below on the streets.

He had been hunting him for about thirty five minutes now, the damn blood sucker was getting on his nerves but then again it could not be called a hunt if the prey did not run from its predator.

As the male pulled out the gun from his jacket, corning the creature in, its fangs protruding from its mouth growling and swiping its long claws towards him trying to find some type of defense to feel like it did everything it could to save its own life.

As shell of the bullet hit the floor that was now covered in gray ash being swept away with the direction of the wind.

Zero Kiryu put the silver gun into his jacket pocket and walked out the small street corner where he had killed the level E vampire.

As he tightened the buttons on his coat he looked around his surrounding to realize where he was.

The Red Light District

He was a good distance from this place when he first began the hunt earlier this evening. The silver haired male observed as the streets were mostly filled with men drunk and being pulled into certain types of stores by girls in frilly lingerie outfits.

A sigh escaped his lips as one of the girls tried to approach him to enter her store. The violet eyes that starred back at her made her immediately recline her hand and back away from him.

What he needed right now was a new target or sleep, he preferred the first option.

As he walked down the streets the bright lights and the girls in the display dancing to catch the attention of the drunk men walking the streets.

Zero breathed in the freezing air into his lungs when releasing it came out with puff of smoke. It was in the middle of December. The city was freezing cold, there was enough snow to almost over him to his knees but instead it was pushed to the side so that everyone could walk the city no matter what time it was.

He could see the droplets coming down from the sky, crystal like little objects that would fall onto the floor to melt or become a part of something bigger.

Snow…..

His mind flashed before him a smiling bright young brunette with a pout on her face.

Yuki

He moved his footsteps faster trying to avoid the snow if it was possible, how could avoid snow. How could he avoid her, he could not there was no possible way to avoid her.

"Don't forget! You have to be there for my little Ai's birthday party" She wagged a finger in front of him as he was positioned to leave her home. That man standing a few meters behind her holding the little girl in his arms.

All these years and he could not avoid her, how long had it been now since the days where he could see her everyday be near her every day.

The hunter had lost count hours? Days? Months? No now it was years seven years and eight months and nineteen days. That is exactly how long it was since they left the academy to live separate and completely different lives.

She was that man's wife, and the mother to their first born child together. While, well there was no difference for him. He was a hunter that hunted his own kind, but now he was simply in charge of those that hunted predators that would feed upon the innocent.

He turned around another corner down the red light district, this section of the district was a bit more abandoned.

His throat started to once again have that burning sensation, as his hands fished out a small black packet. He leaned his head back to swallow about five of the white around objects into his mouth.

As his feet kept moving against the cobble stone path was now in a closer range to the Association's headquarters.

Might as well get some work done

He would not be able to sleep not tonight, not after thinking about her. A pile of paper work and reports that needed to be written would be enough of an attempt to distract him from his thoughts and memories.

A bright red light fell into his blind side as he turned to look at the sign that was brightly being lit in red writing.

The Stalker

That was an odd name to have for a…..well a club. He could hear music coming from within the store but unlike the others on the main street. This club did not have girls in front of its door or dancing in their windows.

A drink wouldn't hurt

He moved towards the doors but before he could take the handle into his hand someone was pushing the door inward.

As the door fully opened a man dressed in a black shirt and pants that was around his mid-thirties was looking at him.

"Oh! This is a surprise, by the rumors I would have never guessed President Kiryuu would be here" the man seemed genuinely surprised by the younger male.

His violet eyes scanned the insides of the club, a bar at the left side, a stage with a stool at back, and chairs and tables in the middle with a couple of booths at the side.

The silver haired hunter wanted to question how the man knew him but it became evident when he noticed the people inside of the club looking at him.

They were his people, they were all male hunters with drinks sitting everywhere.

Every seat was filled the only place open was the seats by the bar.

"Please take a seat" the older man showed him towards the bar as the older male went behind the bar to serve.

"Sake" his voice was low, he would have to behave accordingly within this place. All the men in here would have to listen to his commands in the morning.

As the glass appeared in front of him filled with a clear substance.

"It's on the house tonight" the older man commented and then walked away from him.

Zero kept his eyes on his drink as he moved the small glass towards his lips to take a swig.

Three that was all he would drink and then leave the money on table and leave.

He could feel this odd sensation coming towards him, his hands immediately going inside of his jacket to grab onto the cold metal within its holster.

Vampire

He hesitated before pulling the weapon out, everyone else seemed calm. Well they were clapping, whistling, and smiling brightly as the source of his actions walked onto the stage.

It was a young woman dressed in a white dress and a pair of white heels. Her hair tied into a ponytail. Her features was something a bit uncommon around these areas. Her blonde curled hair, a pair of golden colored eyes, and this dark toned skin.

She must have been a foreigner, he had never seen anyone like her before around this area.

The noise started to die down as she took a seat on the stool that was placed in the middle of the stage.

It became deathly silent as everyone's eyes became focused on the young woman sitting with her eyes closed and the microphone in front of her lips.

Music slowly started to fill the inside of the club, it was slow.

Her lips slowly parted and the sound that came out of it….what could he call it?

You came to me by coincidence and embraced me
And as we blankly stared at each other, you said goodbye

His eyes looked at the young girl that starred at him with a frightened look

"Bad vampires killed his family, take care of him" the headmaster declared as he pushed the young boy into the house.

You only passed through in my dreams
But now you're in front of me

"Hurry up! You'r always slacking off" she declared punching him on the sides

Love has come

He watched as she wiped his neck with a wet cloth, the object becoming drenched in the red substance.

But you say you're leaving

He watched as her eyes followed the man she believed in more than anything.

I waited for you
But you say I can't see you anymore
Always like a fool
The flowing tears tell me
Goodbye now, goodbye

"Don't …I will always be on your side" she declared weeping into his back as his eyes looked ahead at the moon dorms.

Hello Hello Hello
Hello Hello

When we meet again, I'll be the first to say
I'm alright, hello

"Your back" She smiled brightly at him when he approached her.

"Yeah I'm back" he gave her a small smile

Will I see you at least in my dreams?
I close my eyes

As his fangs deepened into her flesh he could not deny himself for holding her tighter closing his eyes hoping it would never end.

Love has come
But you say you're leaving
I waited for you
But you say I can't see you anymore
Always like a fool
The flowing tears tell me
Goodbye now, goodbye

He watched as she left his side to be beside the man she loved.

I hope time hurries up
And brings you to me
I hope you will tell me just once
Things that are unbelievable

He watched in his seat as she was being escorted by their adoptive father towards the altar. The man smiling as he took her hand in his as she lifted her form to lay as kiss on his lips.

Where are you?
Do you know my heart?
I miss you
(In a place I can't ever see you again)
I shout to the night sky, hello

She smiled brightly as she held onto the pink bundle in her arms looking up at him smiling. "Her name is Ai, isn't she perfect Zero?"

He could not help himself but to agree with her

Love has come
But you say you're leaving
I waited for you
But you say I can't see you anymore
Always like a fool
The flowing tears tell me
Goodbye now, goodbye

"Make sure you visit okay, or I will be mad!" She smiled hugging him

Hello Hello Hello
Hello Hello

Zero watched as a tear escaped the young girl's eyes trying to wipe it away. She stood up from her sitting position giving the microphone to the older man who opened to door for him. She positioned herself towards the crowd took a bow with her hands held together in front of her.

Then she left.
