Putting the keys back in the pocket of his coat, Zero pushed the door of the apartment open with his back as he carried the week's groceries into the kitchen. He'd gotten into the habit of stocking up at the grocery store for the week on Friday afternoons. Typical patterns of the city and Yuuki's illness had made today a prime day for shopping. He couldn't afford to leave her for any long amount of time more than once a week. Friday was typically a day that did not leave the city cursed, leaving him to choose his shopping day as Friday.

Immediately upon entering the kitchen and placing his bags on the counter, a slight chill went up his spine. Pausing mid reach, Zero glanced over toward the hallway. There seemed to be a mild breeze coming from that direction. The heat had been on for weeks now since he'd been determined to keep Yuuki comfortable during her confinement. Leaving the groceries behind, Zero moved to investigate with a slight sense of dread in the pit of his stomach. Yuuki's door was open, just as it had been since he'd left. But Yuuki was nowhere in sight.

Nausea welled up inside him at the sight of the open window. Rushing to it, he took in the immediate area outside. The slight smell of vampire lingered just outside, barely discernible by even his trained senses. He didn't recognize the exact scent, but it smells mildly similar to Kaname Kuran. He knew Kuran's scent well enough by now to know it wasn't his scent. Family. He clenched his teeth firmly, anger marring his face. That other vampire that had entered the city recently that Kaname had informed him of being his uncle.

Climbing out the window, Zero landed on his feet the few inches to the ground before catching the scent of the vampire. Checking for the extra ammunition he carried on himself at all times, Zero wanted to make sure he was prepared before beginning to track the monster.

Verifying he had the proper equipment, Zero quickly followed the faint scent of his prey.

Yuuki Kidnapping

Rido's eyes were closed, head tilted as he listened to her gentle voice murmuring softly to the kitten. How like Juri...

His mouth twisted into a satisfied grin, pleased that her innocence still seemed to be intact; happy that his little ploy of using the small piece of fluff as a decoy had worked so well. This was easy, child's play. The Pureblood was almost disappointed that with all the apparent safeguards her entourage had put up, they meant virtually nothing. Still, they're lack of planning benefited him, so what did he care?

There would be time later for them to correct this obvious oversight, assuming that his niece was still the girl he had thought she was, and not the boy that he had spoken to the other day.

A boy would only be of use as a meal to increase his powers. The thought of letting another son of Haruka's exist, was something that he would not tolerate. But a girl... a girl with Juri's eyes, and Juri's delicious scent... that would be absolutely perfect.

His eyes opened into slivers, the baleful red and blue colors bleeding out amongst his dark lashes. From the kitten's point of view, she was alone in the room. And having served it's purpose of getting the 'Princess' to open the way, he cast his energies on the prize inside, willing his young niece to sleep.

Kaname was out that evening to visit Yuuki as she had not been well for the past several days. He knew the day that he had to turn her was coming closer, but he had his own fears in doing so. What if Yuuki were to hate him for bringing her back into this repulsive curse? It seemed quite obvious that Yuuki was very attached to Zero in this City more than she was back home, but how could he blame her for that? To have been stuck in this purgatory for an entire year... he couldn't imagine it.

He looked up from the roses he was carrying in his arm as he felt Zero's presence; something was wrong. Zero was always annoyed by his mien, but not in such panicked haste.

"Kiryuu..." he called out, before realizing the source of Zero's discomfort: Rido's presence lingered in the air. His heart skipped a beat before he continued, asking the question which had the answer he dreaded most.

"...where is Yuuki?"

Hellsing finds Yuuki and Kaname

The scent of fresh spilled blood was distinctive in the crisp cold air of the forest. Integral Fairbrooks Wingates Hellsing inhaled it into her nostrils as her blue eye glowed red in anger. She removed the patch from the left side, searching around the vicinity with her third eye sight. Virgin blood shed not too far from her headquarters. What a disgrace. Who would be foolish enough to hunt in her grounds. No offence that could not be supervised.

"Count," she said coldly, turning to Alucard with a distasteful glance. "Somebody is trespassing." As any No Life King, she was fiercely protective of her domains. Any land, be of the City or London. Her body became see-through until she was no longer there and her words were carried into his mind. "We should greet the intruder."

Thus she moved, shadows and blood, everywhere and nowhere. It was not even a second of progression until she stood behind the vampire, one she recognised, as if she had always been there.

Feet moving quickly against the sidewalk, Zero pushed himself forward, tracking the scent of the vampire to the best of his ability. It was faint and he nearly lost the trail when another presence entered the vicinity that was too similar to the first one he'd been tracking. He was alerted to the vampire before he'd seen it, a slight cold anger seeping into him as he realized that Kaname had most likely left a lot of information out when Zero had asked about this latest arrival.

He'd never mentioned this person had ever posed a risk to Yuuki at all.

Zero himself had noticed the interest the other vampire had in Yuuki, but it had always been Zero interceding and cutting off communication between the two of them. Unless Kaname had been doing things on an encrypted line.

"I was only gone an hour," he said, reaching the older vampire's side. "What would your uncle want with her?"

Yuuki Kidnapping

[identity profile] council-king.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 01:20 am (UTC)(link)
Rido's arm was a blur of motion as he reached out of the darkness and in to clamp his hand firmly around the girl's wrist and yank her painfully out of her bedroom window. Not that she felt a thing with having been forced into an unconscious state, but even if she had, it wouldn't have concerned him in the least.

He had what he wanted. And with his Pureblooded 'niece' firmly tucked under one arm, he faded once more into the night, intent on having a little personal one on one time with Yuuki.

The landscape was a blur of motion, the lights of the City fading into the background as the forest swallowed them up. It was one of the many areas that he'd explored on arriving to this new land, and it offered a nice out of the way place for them to reconnect, away from the annoyances that she kept around her.

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
Kaname cradled an ill-stricken Yuuki carefully in his arms, not minding his own dilemma as his blood had also been spilled. These woods with which they had found themselves in was unfamiliar, but there was another presence with them. One of the undead...

He commanded his blood to surround him and Yuuki in defense, but before he could even finish the spell, he realized who that other presence was.

"Lady Hellsing." He called, turning to her direction, still protectively holding Yuuki in his arms.

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 03:40 am (UTC)(link)
So it was just as he had feared. Rido had finally made his move, and the blissful days had come to an end. Kaname watched as the roses began to whither away and allowed them to fall to the ground as he answered, "The same reason why any vampire would want her, Kiryuu. Her blood had always been undeniably tempting to vampires... as I am sure you are aware of."

A master and his servant had a strange bond between them. Kaname had an idea where Rido might be, but he decided to create bats from his own flesh and blood to search the City. Yuuki... Yuuki must be found as soon as possible.

"Rido is not one of reason. He will feed on anything and everything that is human or vampire. And unfortunately, with Yuuki's blood, I would not be surprised if Rido does not stop until he devours her."

[identity profile] missingthread.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 04:19 am (UTC)(link)
The barb was meant to impact Zero, and it hit it's mark nicely. Though he could count the number of times he'd partook of Yuuki's blood here in the city on a single hand, the temptation was a draw every single day. He wasn't completely innocent, just had more avenues to explore within the city than he had back home.

Watching as Kaname produced a number of bat shaped creatures from mid-air, Zero struggled to maintain the scent as it slowly faded from the air. "One of no reason kills indiscriminately," Zero replied. "I don't think he's not entirely lacking reason or he wouldn't have just waited until the single time I leave for a week to take her. They take anyone at anytime. They don't seek out a single specific prey within a sea of potential victims. They grab the easiest accessible."

Watching as the creatures rose into the air to assist with the search, frustration marring his expression, Zero clenched his fingers tightly around Bloody Rose as he followed their path with his eyes. "This isn't just a random vampire attack."

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 05:06 am (UTC)(link)
"That is true," Kaname admitted as he closed his eyes, sensing where the bats have gone, "but it also true that one's hunger is never truly satisfied, unless he drinks the blood of the one he loves."

He kept quiet for a moment, thinking about his own longing for Yuuki's blood. Ten years, ten long years, and even Ruka's blood was not enough.

"Rido was denied such pleasure," he continued, "as the person he loved was my... mother."

There was a definite pause before he could even say the word, but he shook it off and said, "Having forsaken the satisfaction of a gnawing need, Rido had lost himself to madness, devouring everyone he could, but never drinking his fill.

"Yuuki's blood, for whatever reason, tempts us more than any other's. Even someone as insane as Rido would want to risk everything in order to fulfill his need."

It wasn't a lie, but it was definitely half-truths. Kaname hoped that would be enough for Zero as he looked toward the direction of the forest. He motioned Zero to follow as he walked... he wasn't sure why he was drawn there, but he wasn't going to waste any more time standing around talking about that Council dog.

[identity profile] missingthread.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 05:39 am (UTC)(link)
He didn't completely believe him. It was just too big of a coincidence. In the year that he'd been here, he'd studied a lot of different species of vampires. On the spectrum of those that posed a risk to society as a whole, vampires from their world fell very low on the scale unless they were at or close to Level E.

Purebloods, they bore the threat of boredom due to living so long and had to find something they considered proper entertainment to help pass their time. Purebloods weren't prone to temptation. They were the temptation to the vampires in their world.

"You still aren't telling me the truth." Even Zero could think of a better explanation than that. "There's obviously something you aren't wanting to tell me. Since something as simple as 'He knows how important she is to me and wants revenge' is too easy a secret to pull out. At least that one would make more sense and be expected."

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
There was a smile on his lips when he replied, "Who knows? The simplest explanations are often the ones that are considered 'real and true'. You are free to believe whatever you want."

His smile quickly faded as one of the bats returned. So he was in the forest after all. Kaname nodded and allowed the bat to land on his hand, absorbing it as it disappeared in black smoke.

"There is one thing you should know before we find him," he said, quickening his pace towards the direction where Rido had taken Yuuki, "I had forgiven you for many things because you are the only one capable of releasing me from Rido's clutches.

"Admittedly, the timing is completely off, thanks to the City and its Deities, as you are obviously not ready to face a king. However, we have no choice but to play in this gamble, because we cannot risk Yuuki's life."

The City had weakened Kaname's powers, he knows that for certain. But had it affected Rido the same way it had affected him? Would be be able to deny Rido's commands as he did back home?

[identity profile] missingthread.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 06:38 am (UTC)(link)
It was almost laughable that he expected Zero of doing anything for him. But he knew that was exactly what the pureblood did expect. He'd known since the night he'd consumed Kaname's blood that eventually he would have to pay that tab. That Zero of all people was capable of doing something that Kaname himself couldn't, that seemed the most unbelievable part of all.

But what Kaname expected of him, if it concerned Yuuki, they both knew Zero wouldn't hesitate in doing whatever he could to achieve those goals. Kaname, he was nothing to Zero but a hindrance in his life that he was forced to deal with by circumstances beyond his control. He'd much rather have no contact with the man if he had a choice at all.

What he'd done that night, he'd done for Yuuki alone. A child so willing to give her life to save the soul of someone undeserving of it. He hadn't lost the last thread of his humanity to the monster that consumed him. She alone was the humanity he clung to, the reminder that he hadn't been completely devoured by the beast that threatened him.

"But you wouldn't trust me to unless it dealt with Yuuki..." Which to him still meant, this had more to do with Yuuki than it did with Kaname at all. Because no matter how big a favor he ever owed Kaname Kuran. The only way Zero would ever allow it to be cashed in was if it dealt with her. Meaning this course of action had to have been remotely expected to Kaname.

Yuuki Kidnapping

[identity profile] council-king.livejournal.com 2009-12-13 06:51 am (UTC)(link)
Rido was far more aware of things than Yuuki gave him credit for. Even tucked under one arm, he could feel the muscles in her body tense as she regained some sense of consciousness. But to her credit, she didn't scream, much to his disappointment. Still, there was time for that later.

Out in the open as they were, it was helpful for her to be quiet as all good children were. Not that it was likely she'd be heard out in the wilderness, but it was better to not take any chances.

His attention was completely on every nuance of her body, from the swing of her hair as it hung towards the ground, to each fear laced breath that escaped that sweet mouth. So naturally, the movement of her arm to her pocket, as discreet as she was being, was not missed.

"... such a bad girl."

Dropping her to the ground with a little more force than was necessary, he pressed her body firmly into the dirt with his foot. Holding her immobile so she couldn't continue to call for help.

"A very good observation," he whispered, "you are incapable of betraying her."

Finally, they found it. A small, abandoned cabin in the middle of the forest, just as the bat had shown him. Kaname had no doubts that Rido knew they had arrived, and there was nothing else to tell Zero at this point... Aside from a reminder...

"As long as Rido is alive, he will not stop trying to devour Yuuki."

There was a frown on his lips as he approached the cabin upfront. No use hiding his presence now, and his patience has gone thin. Fangs bared with eyes almost glowing in red, Kaname places a finger to his fang, breaking the skin and commanding his blood to create a scythe-like blade from his hand.

"Rido," he called in a deathly calm voice, "where is Yuuki?"

[identity profile] missingthread.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 04:06 am (UTC)(link)
He still didn't understand why Kaname hadn't given him sufficient enough of a warning ahead of time about the extreme desire Rido had for Yuuki's blood. Zero was vigilant in his observation and protection of the girl, it shouldn't have happened in the first place but it wasn't as if he was ever given a break. Every minute of every day was mostly spent looking over her. This very thing could have happened while he slept.

He couldn't blame himself though. If he hadn't stayed out with Lily for as long as he had, maybe he would have gotten back in time. Maybe it would have happened, no matter what he did. The important thing was getting her back.

As they neared the cabin, Zero's senses rioted to life, giving verification to the whereabouts of the pureblood that held his roommate hostage.

Yuuki Kidnapping

[identity profile] council-king.livejournal.com 2009-12-14 05:54 am (UTC)(link)
With a delighted grin, his eyes shone in the darkness.

"Be patient. We're almost there."

Glancing along her prone form, he savored the moment. Her lifeline was so very close, and yet unreachable. How frustrating that must be~

Still, there wasn't time to sit and enjoy the scene. He still had unanswered questions. Questions that would determine much of what was to come. So with a mere glance of his mismatched eyes, her communication device shattered, too fragile for even the smallest amount of the power he directed its way.

"I don't think you'll be needing that any time soon, 'Princess'.

And reaching down, he once again latched onto her wrist, releasing her from her demeaning position in the dirt and dragging her painfully up to her feet.

The thick shadows around them seemed too thick, too sentient. Eyes opened, pupils red and glowing. They watched for a moment, assessing the situation. Integral could hold her own, but he was still her weapon, her the intent behind the trigger.

After a moment, the shadows converged and Alucard stepped from them, darkness licking at the hem of his bright red Victorian coat, "Ah, such a thing. Did you?" He asked, tipping his head at Kaname. Alucard had a fond spot for Yuuki and her companion Zero, no matter if this other vampire were Integral's ally, Alucard would rip into him.

[identity profile] hiscountess.livejournal.com 2009-12-15 12:51 am (UTC)(link)
Integra recognised the girl on Kaname's arms, however she sent a warning glance towards Alucard. The Count sometimes had issues of self-control. "You better have a good explanation for this, Kuran," she warned coldly. "What are you doing to Yuuki Kurosu?"

She was ready to fight to take the girl to the City General to replenish the blood she had surely lost.

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-15 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
"Alucard."

Kaname calmed his senses and realized they were a safe distance away from Rido and Zero. Even still, Yuuki was not in the best of health, and he would have to break the curse Juuri had placed on her soon if he didn't want her to loose herself.

"Rido," he began, looking over to Yuuki, "unfortunately, took advantage of Yuuki when Kiryuu-kun and myself were away."

He forced his bleeding hand to regenerate and heal, thinking there was no need to use his blood as a weapon any longer. "Yuuki is very ill... she has been for a while, and there is something I must do that can not be delayed any longer."

[identity profile] hercount.livejournal.com 2009-12-15 06:14 am (UTC)(link)
"Ill...?" Alucard tasted the word and tilted his head, trying to get a sense of Yuuki's body rhythms. He felt nothing off, but of course, he was no expert and instead, asked, "How so?"

The vampire did not move forward, though he was not concerned about any threat to himself from Kaname, it was courtesy.

[identity profile] hiscountess.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 12:19 am (UTC)(link)
"I told her to visit a doctor," Integra said angrily. "Didn't she take my advice seriously?" That made her furious, if Yuuki were in a state to received lecturing, she would have given plenty of that.

"And what is that?" she interrogated, thankful Alucard could reign himself without her interference.

[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:02 am (UTC)(link)
"I'm afraid there is not much any physician can do for her, Lady Hellsing."

Kaname knew he'd have to tell them everything... almost everything, as Integra seemed very protective of Yuuki. It would be a gamble, but he needed help.

"A curse was placed upon Yuuki 10 years ago," he began, "and that curse is slowly breaking apart. Rido took her from her apartment a few hours ago, and I am not sure what he has done to her. But I do know and feel the spell placed upon her is weakening.

"If I do not awaken Yuuki to her true self, she might lose mind to insanity."

He hesitated for a moment before adding, "She and I will be very vulnerable once I begin to break the curse. Which is why I must take her some place safe."

He hoped that would be enough for Integra and Alucard to let him go. He was unsure if his apartment would be safe enough for the few hours he needed, but he'd have to risk it, as he would not allow Yuuki to fall into madness.

[identity profile] council-king.livejournal.com 2009-12-16 04:47 am (UTC)(link)
His time with her had been too short, a mere 'getting to know one another'. But she was a pale imitation to the rose in full bloom that he had held in his arms back home. How like Juri she had been, her vulnerable eyes wide with defiance, foolishly believing that someone would save her or that she could somehow escape in time from his grasp.

It was a foolish notion. One that she now understood more fully.

It didn't surprise Rido that they would come for her, but then his intention had never been to keep her. Not this time. Not yet.

Turning his attention to his captive audience, he grabbed her wrist once again. "It looks like we have company~. It'd be rude to keep them waiting, even if they weren't invited." The Pureblood rose, pulling her roughly along with him as he moved towards the door.


[identity profile] firstvampire.livejournal.com 2009-12-21 03:43 pm (UTC)(link)
Heightened senses allowed Kaname to listen carefully to what was happening in the cabin. He watched intently as the door opened... staring daggers at his uncle's silhouette, he clenched his teeth with a hiss. The sight of Rido pulling Yuuki as if she were a lifeless doll... He was angry... angry with his uncle for treating her that way, but even angrier with the fact he failed to protect her.

As much as he tried to contain his frustration, unseen winds began to wisp violently around him and Zero. In a voice seething with murderous intent, he demanded, "What have you done with her?"

Yuuki Kidnapping

[identity profile] council-king.livejournal.com 2009-12-22 05:38 am (UTC)(link)
He couldn't help but to laugh at the absurdity of her command. A pathetic attempt to try to wrest some sense of control from a situation where she was utterly powerless to do anything. It was just how Rido liked it.

"Hehhheh.... no."

Turning his attention away from her, he resolutely set off again through the woods, pulling her behind him. Either she'd walk, or he'd drag her. Either way was fine with him.
