Our Blood, Intertwined. (Vampire Knight Fanfic)

Our Blood, Intertwined. -Chapter Two- "Born to Kill."

Hanami's Story, Part One

Day 1:

Afternoon

"What do you want, vampire?" I muttered coldly, venom coating my words. The intruder was a man- a vampire. His dark purple eyes were widened as the flicked back and forth from my face and my bow and arrow- Kurai. He held his hands up in the air, an act of surrender. Pathetic, a vampire that's frightened of a human on sight. Most other vampire's I'd seen never went down easy.

"Hey, hey. Easy now, I'm not here hurt you." He said slowly in a soft voice, mostly likely thinking that I was unstable or something. He took a step towards me and I pushed Kurai closer to his face and he immediately stepped back again. "Why are you threatening me with a weapon? You've got no reason to be-"

"You're a vampire, don't think you can fool me." I said bluntly. By now any other vampire would have dropped the act and attacked me, showing their true self. But instead he did the strangest thing. He laughed. It wasn't a fake laugh or even a sarcastic one; it was a genuine laugh, as if he actually found it funny. I narrowed my eyes, and he stopped laughing.

"What makes you think that I'm a vampire?"

"Because I can sense vampires, and if you don't leave now, I'll kill you, just like all the other's." I took a few steps forward, until the arrow was pressed against his neck. He sighed and looked off to the side somewhere.

Before I realized what was going on, he punched me hard in the stomach, winding me and had shoved Kurai away from his face. Second's after he did that, as an act of defence I removed Ame, my dagger, from its holster on my upper thigh and stabbed him in the left arm. He moaned and took a step back, gripping the dagger that stuck out of his upper arm. Red blood stained the shirt of his white suit and I steadied Kurai on him again.

He gave me a quick look of pain before laughing weakly. He swiftly pulled Ame out of his arm, blood splattering onto me as he did, and then threw it onto the ground next to me. Eyeing him, I quickly bent down and picked it up and wiped the blood off it and returned it to its holster. I looked up at the man again and he was studying his wound. It had begun healing and we both watched as the skin reappeared where the dagger had pierced him.

"That would have hurt," He murmured. He looked up at me, his eye's looking straight into mine, "But that weapon is useless against me."

"I know that," I muttered coldly. "That was just a warning. But if I were to pierce your heart with this arrow-" I gestured slightly to Kurai, "-You would disintegrate into dust." It was true. Kurai, my bow and arrow, was a vampire hunter's weapon, able to kill a vampire if one arrow pierced their heart or head. Ame wasn't a vampire hunter's weapon and couldn't harm a vampire, it was just s backup, to injure anything that came my way.

Surprise crossed his face for a second and then he pointed to Kurai, which I had aimed at his chest. "So this is a vampire hunter's weapon? How did you get one of these?"

"I was born to kill vampires," I answered quickly, glaring at him. Although he just seemed unfazed and more amused than anything else.

"Understandable," He somewhat paced the small area in front of me, looking deep in thought. "You're a vampire hunter, which explains how you can sense vampires and how you got that vampire hunter weapon."

"If you know that I'm a hunter, then why haven't you left yet?"

"Because I was asked to come here today, to retrieve a person that Lord Kaname needs and since you're the only person here," He stopped in front of me and pointed his finger at my face. "I'm guessing it's you." I stared at him blankly and he sighed, holding his hand out to me. I glared at it, did he seriously think I'd just with him because some guy need's me for something? He must be stupid.

His face hardened a bit after I didn't take his hand. "Come on," He said in a serious tone as he reached out to grab my hand. I took a step back, out of his reach. It was as if it was a demand. But I didn't follow any vampire's orders. I shook my head firmly and he sighed and ran his hand through his hair.

"Look's like we'll have to do this the hard way," His face was now completely void of the former amusement it held a moment ago. He reached out again but this time he managed to grab hold of my arm. I struggled against him, trying to pull away from him but his grip was too tight.

"Let...go!" I pulled against him again but his grip didn't loosen. I knew how this had to end. I still had Kurai pointed at him, despite the angle I was standing at now because of him, and I decided now was the time. I let my finger slip off the rubber on the bow and almost instantly his grip loosened. I heard a low moan and I knew that this time, he was in pain.

Without looking at him, I quickly slung Kurai onto my back and ran off to the right. I was pretty sure this was the way to the town.

I didn't look back to see if he was following me, I just kept on running. I just barely dodged past trees and almost ran into a few.

After what seemed like hours of running, my lungs felt as thought they were bleeding and there was a sharp pain in my side. My legs were aching and I felt as though I'd fall to the ground in exhaustion at any moment, but I still didn't stop. I had the feeling he was still after me, following me.

It was dark now, which made it harder for me and probably easier for him. I could barely see where I was going and had slowed down slightly, just in case I ran into something. If I did, it would be the perfect opportunity for him.

I could see a small opening in the forest up ahead and almost cried out in happiness. I pushed myself a little more, running as fast as I could. I was almost there.

Right then, a bright flash of lightning struck in front of me, followed by the loud crash of thunder. I jumped back away from it and tripped over something. I could feel myself fall backwards and the last thing I saw was the tree in front of me light up on fire.

Then everything went black.
