Previous Chapter:

"Yuuki Kuran, I swear on the blood that runs through my veins that I, Zero Kiryuu, will kill you. Whether that be today or anytime in the future, the one who will end your life will be me. I will take you from this world with my bare hands.", Zero said as he stared me down with pure hatred.

I shivered at his blood vow. Every sense of me wanted to up and run from him as far and as fast as possible. Even if I were to run to the other side of the earth it still wouldn't be far enough.

So this is what it felt like to be Prey. So the shoe is finally on my foot. I smirked as my eyes grew wider with excitement.

Chapter 5: Rest of that Night

*Yuuki's POV*

I laughed with a malice coating my voice."You killing me? I doubt you live to see me even get a wrinkle let alone die, Little Level D." Zero clenched his jaw with pure hatred radiating off his skin as I hit a deep nerve, but I was far from done speaking. "In fact, what would mommy and daddy dearest say if they saw you now? Not only had their youngest child betrayed them but here is their first child helplessly in love with not only a pureblood but a Vampire King. So pathetic!"

I saw in that instant Zero snapped. He dropped the bloody-rose and with sped had me pinned against a nearby tree with his hands squeezing around my throat, restricting my air passageway.

"Shut the hell up! You know nothing!", Zero spoke through clench teeth. "Instead of spewing my past how about we speak of your present? Such as Kaname learning of what you did to Ichiru."

White hot fury sparked inside my blood as I pushed him off with a kick to his stomach. The bug grunted for a split second before jumping to his feet with speed. I sucked in air slowly as my vampirism began healing the bruise he caused around my neck.

"What? Afraid of him finding you disgusting once he knows?", Zero mocked with a glare. I bared my fangs at him in anger but refused to move. It hadn't been that long since my blood had awakened and Zero was a equipped Hunter with both mine and my brother's blood flowing through him. I'd be foolish to fight him now. I grimaced, loathing the disgusting man in front of me. "He wouldn't believe you", I said swallowing hard. "He'd simply think you're spouting nonsense in order for him to choose you to leave with him. In fact, he's waiting for the both of us at the gate as we speak to make that said decision."

"What?", He spoke with a frown deepening on his features. I grinned as the information clicked in his thick head.

"See the flaw in your little plan?", I said with a hysterical laugh. Then the laughing trickled away as my features went serious. "But... He'd believe me if I were the one telling him of my actions."

"Like, hell, you'd tell him the truth", Zero spoke while frowning at me with suspicious eyes as he picked up the bloody-rose, clenching the trigger.

"Under normal circumstances, I wouldn't dare", I said sighing out while crossing my arms. "However, I can't deny that Kaname is confused about the feelings he has for you." Zero scuffed at my word choice but I choose to ignore him and continue. "And because of his confusion, I know my brother won't be able to completely let you go. Therefore, I propose we make a small deal."

"A deal with you?", Zero spoke with disgust. "Unless it involves me putting a bullet between your eyes. I'll have to-"

"If my brother leaves here with you than I'll tell him I killed your brother", I interrupted, catching his interest quickly.
