Zero Kiriyu x reader "Betrayals"

Chapter 5 Scars that will never heal

I sat in my dorm room looking through some papers which seemingly were about the weapon I must be choosing for the guardian duty. I never wished for this job but headmaster is too keen to put responsibilities on me.

I scrunched up my nose looking at the odd choices I had to pick through. My eyes sojourned over a familiar weapon. A sword, I had been trained to use a sword because I needed to defend myself in the early days before I came to Cross academy.

I gazed upon the information on the sword when I remembered something

"Hello (Name), I have something here for you" Keechi smiled looking at me

I looked at him curiously and asked "What is it Master?"

Keechi was an excellent swordsman he worked as my guardian and as my mentor.

He held out his hand in front of me and there laid a sword gripped in his hand "I want you to take this"

"But Master you told me that I wasn't ready for my own weapon" I stood there confused

"Ah yes but now I think you are. You should be on guard from now on because I might have to leave and never see you again" Keechi gave me sad smile

"I...no you can't leave me yet!" I shouted tears threatened to derive out

"That is not destined" he said wiping away the tears that spilled through my eyes "You'll face challenges ahead and I want you to promise me that you will never disappoint me"

I nodded he ruffled my head "I have been blessed by an excellent student"

After that day I never saw him again. Everything I cherished was taken away from me, my new home my Master he died some vampires came and killed him. I hated that day, I hated being alive but I carried on because Master wanted me too.

A knock on the door revived me back to reality. A single tear that slid down my face I wiped it quick and sat straight and said "Come in"

A brunette head poked in and I saw Kaname. He smiled at me as he walked inside but soon his smile turned to a frown when he came and sat next to me.

"What's the matter? Do you not like it here at this academy?" he pointed out my red eyes

I shook my head furiously of course I liked this academy, sure it was complicated around Zero but still I had a place I could call home.

"No I was just...remembering some old times" I said hiding my eyes in my front hair as I looked down

"Sad times?" he asked and I nodded

"Do you wish to talk about it?" Kaname smiled as I looked at him "But I guess you still don't trust me as you and I have just met"

"N.no it's not like that" I stammered looking in front "I guess I do want to talk about it. I have been holding all these questions for so many years I want to ask people." I twiddled with my fingers as I waited to expose everything there was to me to this man. He seemed nice and caring. I gazed at him but I was scared. If what I had to say would trigger into leaving me alone again. I wouldn't want that again. I have lost too much

"Please do continue" Kaname broke the silence

"I'm scared..." I finally said it.

"Scared of what?" Kaname asked confused

I heaved a sigh and then started "Well it's just that. I never knew my real family. I moved from places to places in search for a home but was always an outcast and had to flee because of how people treated me. So could you promise me something?" I stared up at him

"yes?" he raised an eyebrow

"um...after I will tell you everything about me. Please do not leave me and declare me an outcast" I blurted out and I knew it sounded weird

"Even if you tell me everything I would never change who you are to me. You would always be who you are and your backstory won't change the way I treat you now" he sounded serious and I had to believe him.

"Okay" I nodded once more and continued "I'll start with my childhood. I don't remember much but I do remember I had parents but who they are and how do they look I don't know. I was adopted by the Kiriyu family when I was very little. They raised me in knowing that one day my parents would come back and take me in again. I didn't know I was a vampire and disguised as human and that was the reason my memory flickered, I just lived there." I looked down towards my shoes "Zero...he wasn't as cold as he is now. We used to play all the time and we were best of friends until everything changed. Some Pureblood vampire attacked the house and killed Zero's parents. My secret was out that I was a vampire which I didn't know either. Zero betrayed me and left me alone. I had no place to go I wandered through the streets. There was a time I got sick but there was no shelter for me. I was lost in the wilderness I am surprised till now that I was alive" I merely laughed but then started to speak again "Hunters association took me in and I was trained to become a vampire hunter because they still didn't know I was a vampire. I was raised there and I found out that Zero was adopted by someone nice. A caring family which I always craved but still I was happy...for him Not long after the association found out that I was a vampire and not just any but a pureblood. I was abandoned from my home again. Even my own kind hated me when I turned to them for refuge. Before I came here I was adopted by a man named Keechi he was my Master. He loved me regardless of my past and what I was but the vampires they even got him and killed him" I chocked as I tried to hold back tears that were forming again in my eyes "They would say I am a pathetic excuse for a Pureblood. A high and invincible cast and there I was pitiful and requiring help. It's a wonder I'm still alive and living." I stopped talking partly because I had nothing left to say anymore and partly because I was tired. I glanced at Kaname.

He had his thinking face on as I held my breath for him to say something

"I'm sorry about your past" he spoke "It was really catastrophic, you have been through a lot and what you think about yourself is wrong. Even if you were raised by a hunter's family it doesn't change the fact that you are a Pureblood and should be treated with respect. I will take a word with the senate and make sure these vampires are punished whoever killed your Master"

"Thank you" I whispered I was happy in a long while. Kaname was the kindest person I met in my life. He was generous and benevolent.

Kaname smiled at me as he puts a hand on my shoulder "Please consider this your new home and rest assured that you won't be treated differently but I must take my leave for now. "

"Oh yes and thank you again Kaname for believing in me" I smiled as I stood up after him. He left bidding me goodbye, as the door close shut I wondered why he didn't ask more questions about my past. Maybe he will later...I shoved the thought aside for the better

I looked around the room finally relived and alleviated that I had been accepted for the very first time in my life. I picked up the papers that were left on the bed.

"Might as well get the weapon" I walked out the dorm and to the headmaster's office

Zero's P.O.V:

Zero was sauntering through the academy grounds when he saw a figure briskly walking by. He looked closely to see it was (Name). He fumbled back and hid himself. He didn't know why he did that but he didn't want her to see him. She was just like him entangled in different fates.

Zero clutched his chest as the throbbing pain ached. His lavender eyes turned bloodshot as he took deep breaths to stable his condition which was growing severe day by day.

He delved into his coats pocket as he got out the blood tablets. He swallowed them but to no avail his body rejected them as he chocked them out. Zero crawled out of the bushed as he lay down on the blanket of snow. It was cold but Zero was too distracted to care about that. He closed his eyes as the pain and cravings rose again.

In the cold snowy winter he lay there like a corpse to be saved by someone which in reality he knew was impossible.
