The Angel and the Vampire (Private, Akane and Kadaj ONLY)

"Akane, Saruno...I seek revenge on the Akatsuki for killing my entire family...my mother, my eleven year old little sister...and my brother"

Zero's eyes were slightly cold as he remembered the sight of their bodies on the floor, the blood and the burning house.

"Saruno, Akane...I want you to help me revenge my family...will you please help me"

Zero wasn't one much to trust people with his past but he needed to tell them everything
but he could trust these two people with his life story and he knew they were good friends to him.

"Thank..you for helping me...both of you"

Zero started to black out slightly, he had a small urg to feed but he knew that he couldn't anymore that he would resist every urg to feed but he was resisting it and keeping it under control.

"Akane...lets hope...they can help"

"I will Saruno," Akane replied as the took off into the midnight air. The gentle flapping of both Angel's wings filled the air until Zero spoke, "I've never been wronged by Akatsuki," she frowned as she spoke, "But I promise to help you Zero." She smiled softly at him before leaning down and kissing his forehead. She felt remorse for him and she'd do anything to get rid of that pain.

She then guided Saruno to her family's compound and she gulped as it came into the distance. She looked to the side and saw Zero fighting something within himself and she decided she'd ask him later when they got settled. "Just land here Saruno. I'll go inform my parents of our arrival." They landed gently and she handed Zero over to the other Angel before bravely stepping into the compound.

------------------------------------------------------------------

Akane's grandmother was furious, "You have been banished from the clan!" she screamed and Akane cringed. "You shouldn't even be on the premises." Akane's eyes narrowed at this but she did nothing.

"Mother," Akane's mother said, "She is still your granddaughter even if she is banished."

The grandmother huffed, "Only because Takido would have wanted it," she mumbled, "You may stay but you will not be seen leaving. People shouldn't think you've been accepted again."

"Thanks!" Akane replied and quickly ran outside.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

"It's okay," she told Saruno and Zero, "Just follow me and I'll get you guys settled in your rooms."

She then led them into the main hall of the compound, "Just try to be quiet. My grandmother isn't the easiest person." She then led them to a long hallway filled with closed doors. She pointed to the first one on the left, "We'll go to my room first and discuss our plan of action before going any further." She was scared of entering her room again. It held so many memories. But she ignored her fear and walked inside, Saruno and Zero following.

Zero was taken to a resting place and looked over at akane.

"Akane...why did you bring me here...arent you bannished...?"

He looked confused at her and felt a small but sharp pain go through his body, he trembled softly and breathed in and out. his mind was a little busted but he kpet strong.

'why'd she even bring me so far, she could have killed me that very second, she could have run her sword right through me and killed me, why didn't she, why didn't she kill me, does she love me, does she love me?' he thoguht to himself

'nah she cant love me thats impossible.....right?' he couldnt stop thinking

"God I love Akane so much" he accidentally said out aloud.

He began to blush and turned away like he said nothing, he let out a sigh and looked back at her with a soft smile.
