The Cursed Lovers

Chapter 7

[Zero]

Sakurako? That can't be the Sakurako I know? It's been 3 years since we last saw each other. It can't be her, I'm sure it's just a vampire causing trouble.

"Now, now dear there's no need to panic..." I cut Cross off from speaking further.

"Don't let her in! She could be a vampire! Why else would she be here!?" He ignored me as usual.

"Who's Sakurako?" Yuki asked, but I don't answer.

"Hmmm...Sakurako, that name rings bell. What's your last name?" Ah! Why doesn't he ever listen to me? He's going to get himself killed, because he isn't being cautious enough!

The girl is suddenly shouting. "Sasaki! Sakurako Sasaki and I'm with my sister Jun! Mr Cross, we know you're a vampire hunter like us! Our home was attacked and we were told to come to you! Hurry up please! Jun is ill!"

"Mr Cross, Sakurako is injured as well!" Another voice yelled. Jun?

It's actually them, it's actually the Sakurako and Jun that I knew. Sakurako she was my best friend, but she was told that I died. So it wouldn't affect her anxiety attacks much if she was told that I was a level E. Who knows what could have happened to her if she found out.

"Open the damn gates Cross!" I yelled at him.

"Oh right, it should be opening..." He was cut off by Jun screaming.

"Sakurako look out!"

The room is filled from the screams and shouts of Sakurako and Jun, there was also gun shots.

Yuki was about to run out the door, but I stopped her. "It's too dangerous Yuki, let me go instead."

"No! Neither of you go, Zero what do you think is going to happen if she sees you again. She thinks you're dead." Yuki gasped and stared at me. I ignored her. She doesn't need to know yet. "Anyway some of night class is on their way."

Great! I have to stay here and worry that Sakurako could be killed!

[Sakurako]

Blood. Fresh blood spilled from my stomach. Two claw like nails from a Level E had pierced me. I could her Jun screaming in horror, she was still on the floor trying to push a level E off of her.

I took my gun out of the holster and shot the level E attacking Jun. With my other hand I unsheathed Setsuna and cut the one in front of me. Watching them turn to dust.

The gate opened and I picked up Jun and carried her to the front of the building. "Ah!" I and Jun are split apart again as another vamp pushed me to the ground. I kicked him in the stomach and pierced his heart with Setsuna.

I turned around to the gate. Oh god. There are at least 20 more. I had no idea that there were so many vamps in one area. They must have smelt my blood far away and tracked us down. I know I can take some of them down, but not 20 at once.

"Looks like you could use some help." I quickly turned around and pointed my blade in front of the mysterious person.

It's a student in a white and black detailed uniform, but he's a vampire. He had blonde hair and emerald green eyes. He held a katana similar to mine in his hand. There was another student with him. This one had messy auburn hair, violet eyes. He looked quiet bored and tired, but each of them looked deadly serious. I noticed how they held a strong scent to them. Vampire, but they aren't Level E's. Aristocrats?

"Don't worry, we're here to help you. The names Takuma and that's Senri. That's enough chatter, I believe we have some uninvited visitors." He pointed towards the level E's. I nodded in agreement, I'll trust them for now, but if they do anything funny, I will kill them.

The 20 level E's came running towards us. I let these two vamps head in front of me. I need to know how powerful they really are. Takuma, he's a skilled swordsman, he slashed through 5 of them, but what caught my attention was Senri. His power was something I've never seen before, he bit his finger and let his blood drip and formed into a blood whip. Interesting, I'll admit that.

I don't let that keep me in a daze, 6 vamps came running towards me and Jun. I shoot 2 of them with my pistol, and do a series of dodges and slashes at the rest. I would have kicked some further away from me, but my wound on my neck and stomach were preventing me from doing that.

A vampire caught me by surprise and kicked my weapons away and he headed for Jun. She screamed as he came on top of her, baring his fangs trying to get a bite. I pulled him off her and he ended up falling on top of me and another sharp pain goes into my neck. Feeling myself get weak all over again. He stopped as a new voice entered the area.

"Stop!" This person was also a student vampire. His aura is different from the others, how the level E's acted around him was strange. He must be a pureblood. Just like that filthy woman. "How dare you come here, and attack these innocent people."

The remaining level E's was running away, it didn't take long until this pureblood came over with Takuma and Senri. I noticed that other vampire students have arrived watching us. The pureblood walked over to Jun and tried to help her by the looks of it. I didn't trust him though. I stood up swaying a bit.

"D-Don't touch her...Leave her a-alone..." I fell backwards, I feel someone catch me and my eyes closed.
