Title: A Bad Lie for a Good ReasonDisclaimer: None to be exact; except that I don't own Vampire Knight. :D But I DO own the plotline.Genre: Tragedy [???]Characters: Kiryu Zero, Kiryu IchiruSummary: Bloodsucking is a forbidden act in the campus; but what if the prefect, Kiryu Zero, himself sins by drinking his own sister's blood to sustain his lust for it? And the reunion with his brother does show that some things can't be kept a secret forever...Note: -N/A---
"You're a hypocrite, Zero."
He turned towards the voice, eyebrows creasing questioningly at the accusation. The person in front of him had the same face... Same voice... Same eyes... But with a slighty longer hair. Ichiru gazed at Zero with a condescending look, unfazed by his older twin's glare.
"After all that you've said about me and Shizuka-sama... You still crave for blood, don't you?"
Zero's face twisted with a mix of shock and disgust at the unfounded accusation.
"That's a lie, Ichiru! A ridiculous misconstruction!"
"Is that so...
Brother? Every other night you'd slip into her dorm at wee hours, and returning after a while with a satisfied look. How is this a misconstruction of the truth?!"
His face fell. He can't reveal to Ichiru what he's doing at Kazue's dorm at night.
... No, he definitely can't.
Those meetings were for him to drink Kazue's blood; because their purpose was simple - to stave off his madness.
It was a forbidden thing, more so when they are not really brothers and sisters - just adopted ones. Kazue herself would suffer consequences, for submitting herself to something so degrading and wasteful.
While Zero wanted to believe what Ichiru said was false, he had to admit he was addicted to her blood, and he is craving for more of it; and all the more he shouldn't let Shiki know of this, nor Kaname.
Zero may refuse as much as possible his vampire nature, but he wasn't a fool, and knew well the consequences his words could have, and the taboo that Kazue's blood could represent. Ichiru had far too close ties with the council.
It wasn't uncommon for ex-humans to service the higher ranks of the vampire society. An aristocrat wouldn't stoop to taking someone of such low rank as an actual lover, but then again, Zero wasn’t just a level D, he was also a hunter. Either way, the council would just close their eyes over the matter, assuming it was most likely a mere inconsequential affair stemming from the young aristocrat's curiosity, or something of the such.
With his face burning in absolute shame, Zero retorted, "I will bed whoever I want, Ichiru! It’s none of your business!" before turning around and striding away, mortification sweeping through his body at the obscene lie he had just had to tell his own brother, to protect the delicate balance of this precious haven of peace.
Chuckling, Ichiru whipped out Zero's Bloody Rose, placing it upon the back of his head. "Then... I wonder what'd happen if I use this on you...
And Kazue?"
He froze.
"You
can't do this! Shoot me if you want; but not Kazue!"
Ichiru chuckled again. He knew that Kazue wouldn't want Zero to die either... But it was for a good cause.
Lying would be good, he thought.
He waited a few seconds... Before pulling the trigger.
-Owari-
Okay, few things to explain:-
1) Zero DIDN'T slept with Kazue... Metamorphically, in case you didn't read the story carefully.
2) Why 'Bloody Rose' is in Ichiru's possession is another main question. >.>;; He stole it.
3) And... Think of the 'epilogue' for yourself, alright? XD
