|“This is the only time I would ask for a favor that will be your downfall."|
Golden eyes looked at the black sky. The crescent moon hanged above while the stars glitter like a river of diamonds. Night had finally fallen to cover the vast expanse of this world. As for a certain white-haired pure-blood, he stood at the front of the Memorial Site which was established to remember the lives that were lost on that horrible day at Cross Academy. The time where he had taken the responsibility of causing a very terrifying nightmare. He must be a very cruel person. Because until now, there was not an ounce of regret he felt in his actions. He then returned his attention to the memorial marker and looked at all the names written on it. "So you have finally call for me, kid." A very familiar voice it was indeed. However, it was not something that was alarming nor he would consider as a threat.
“Good evening, Luke." Zenith did not look behind him nor did he look to acknowledge the presence of the newcomer. However, this was the first time for him to call anyone by name except for his familiar and sister. From that, one could conclude the depths the relationship between the two. It was not of a simple acquaintance. "Good evening to you too, kid." The one known as Luke replied back cheerfully as he now finally stood beside the Rosenkreuz pure-blood. His green eyes that seemed to rival that of gems gazed at the memorial stone in front of them. "So, these are the people who you killed without flinching." He said that with such a casual tone while Zenith remained emotionless as always.
The white-haired pure-blood did not answer. There was no need for him to say anything at all. Luke released a small sigh and then looked at the crystal roses placed underneath the memorial. He knew well this was created by none other than the now known King of Vampires. At the same time, he is well-aware of what happened and the dark hand to ensure it became a reality. Oh yes, Luke was very familiar with his particular taste in mayhem. "Many want you dead. Shall I help you for a while, boy?" Upon hearing this statement, Zenith finally looked at Luke who was not to be underestimated. This person was a powerful being without a doubt. Furthermore, Luke was not just any other person. He was a vampire and a pure-blood at that. It is why Zenith was certain this will be enough to have the prefects be removed from his side.
“Yes." That was the short answer provided by the white pure-blood. Luke smiled at this and placed a hand on the boy's snow white hair. He appears so mature and all but in the end, this is what makes Zenith a kid in front of him. "Took you long enough." He then messed Zenith's hair in a playful manner in which the Rosenkreuz pure-blood allowed freely. Somehow, this gesture was a welcomed thing. Although, he remained emotionless throughout. “I apologize." Luke only smiled at this and playfully slapped Zenith on his shoulder. This boy was truly helpless in the end. Luke knows this very well.
O was truly concerned in regards of Haruka's condition. The human girl had been poisoned. It was to be expected. The doctors and nurses were in panic of the girl's condition. They should be. However, he could not do anything for her. Perhaps, the pure-blood female can do something. He does not want to see someone like her in such horrid pain. In thinking, his Master could do something. However, the pure-blood was stubborn and even more so, they were now enemies. Despite that, O knew the kindness which his Master covers with black-hearted truths. This is why O still hopes that his Master will choose these people, this place, this life rather than that wish, that lost promise.
The familiar was about to say something when the doors to the infirmary were opened. There came the new Headmaster. The man whom his Master was very wary of. The medical staff surrounded the man and related to him the condition of Haruka. He simply nodded and looked at the medical data handed to him "I see." That was all he said before approaching the bed. However, he did not forget to acknowledge the presence of Sachiko, Kaede, and even O. He then looked at Haruka and from the symptoms alone. This poison was very familiar to him, very. He then took a piece of paper and wrote on it. "Give me these materials and inform the other two prefects that I'm here."
He handed them to a nearby nurse who quickly procured it. Once it was with him, he immediately concocted the antidote. His actions were fast and concise. From those who observed him, he was very well-versed and used to such machinations. After he was done, he placed the liquid into a syringe and injected it onto the forearm of Haruka. When it was done, he released a deep breath and glanced at the three. "Now, it is all up to her." After saying that, he was surprised when someone grabbed hold of his wrist so tightly. It was none other than Haruka. He met those blue eyes which seemed to be hazed. This girl was seeing someone else and spoke something about not to cry anymore.
Hughes was confused about this statement as he raised an eyebrow. However, O was not. The familiar knew who Haruka was pertaining to. She was pertaining to his Master. Soon, Haruka lost consciousness as it could be seen she was writhing in pain. Hughes gestured for a chair to stay beside the girl. The serum was effective then. Fighting the poison within the system was supposed to be painful. It was designed that way. He placed his free hand on the girl's forehead. Now, he knew why the pure-blood king was insistent on removing the prefects from protecting him. The peril was much real. Anyone who was observing him, they could see a regretful and worried expression. The Headmaster seemed so sad for having place the girl in this position. "Be strong, Haruka-san. You're a strong girl aren't you?."
Zenith suddenly looked at the direction of the main building. O was transmitting images and words to him. It is why he knew what was happening. Luke noticed this and then followed the boy's gaze and sighed. "Worried?" Zenith removed his eyes from the building and then looked at the side. Yes, he was. However, that girl was strong. They were all strong. In addition, there were people by her side. People who will take care of her. He has no place there. He is their enemy and he was intent on keeping it that way. Luke placed his arms behind his head and sighed. "You can go you know." Zenith looked at Luke with those usual empty eyes. “No. It is of no consequence to me."
Just like that, Zenith left the area to go to the Moon Dormitory. He will retire to his chambers. This day was over for him. As for Luke, he shook his head in resignation. The boy was still too naive as always. Well, this is why he is here. He took one last look at the Memorial Stone. "Rest in peace." With that said, he followed Zenith. From this point on, he will be the personal guard of the new Pure-blood King.
