Zero's voice dropped to a hoarse whisper.
"I'd rather you didn't know. And I hope you never do." He shook his head scornfully at himself before continuing. "Elf, dwarf, wizard, it doesn't matter."
He fell into a gloomy silence.

*Dewshine's warm heart filled with compassion. In spite of her fear of men, she placed a gentle hand on his arm.*
"No matter what you did, it can't be worse than what I did. I have brought shame over my entire family. I should commit suicide, to bring honor back to my family."

Zero cringed slightly at the girl's touch, not from revulsion or disgust, but from fear that he failed to mask properly.
"You've done nothing wrong, Dewshine-san. It was entirely the fault of the elf who took advantage of you; don't be ashamed."
He shoved his hands into his coat pockets and kicked aimlessly at the ground.
"It's not so much something I've done, but something I've become."

*Dewshine looked up at him, patiently waiting for him to tell the story. He obviously needed to get it out of his system. And who was she to judge? She had disgraced her entire family by getting raped by an elf who looked like a bat. And the biggest shame of all was that she was pregnant because of the rape. She looked warmly into his eyes, her bright blue beautiful eyes glittering like sapphires.*
"No matter what you have become, it can't be worse than what I've become. I do not have the right to judge anyone."

Sighing, Zero decided that all stories must be told, in one form or another. He avoided her eyes, so very full of warmth and comfort and a willingness to understand. Like Yuuki's.
A sharp twang hit his heart, or what was left of it.
"I've told you that I'm a vampire hunter. What I left out was that--" he cut himself off and sighed. "--that I'm also a vampire."
Zero's violet eyes darted to Dewshine's figure in anticipation of her reaction.

*Dewshine looked warmly up at him. She shyly lifted her tiny hand, and, after some hesitation, placed it on his cheek to comfort him. There was only compassion and understanding to read in her beautiful blue eyes.*
"I can't see why you would be ashamed of that. It was not your fault. If you were bitten when you were working, it was a work accident. And personally...."
*She blushed deeply and lowered her eyes, as she whispered shyly*
"....I find vampires very attractive."

((Mmm, food.))
Zero returned Dewshine's gaze, a combination of horror and pity mingled on his countenance.
"Vampires murdered my family in cold blood, and to have become one of the hideous monstrosities that did so leaves my hands drenched with their blood. I swore the day of their deaths that I would hunt down and destroy every last vampire."
Frustrated, Zero ran a hand through his hair, sweeping his bangs away from his face.
"I'm a traitor to my family and myself."
He lowered Dewshine's hand from his cheek but did not release his grasp on it.
"Really? You find them attractive?"

*Dewshine looked up at him. Tears of compassion filled her beautiful eyes when she heard his story about how the vampires had treated his family. She could understand his desire to revenge his family. She smiled and gave his hand a gentle squeeze.*
"I come from a tribe of warriors. To win a battle, you have to know your enemy. And what way is better than to become your enemy? That way, you can study your enemy properly in order to defeat him. I don't see you as a traitor."
*She blushed and looked shyly up at him.*
"The only vampire I know... is you....."
*Her blushing deepened, and she lowered her eyes again, not daring to look at him.*

Zero shook his head ignorantly.
"But I swore to kill them all, and with that, I must also kill myself in the end."
This time around, he did not blush, instead glaring at Dewshine, hoping that she'd be frightened, repulsed--anything. He didn't want to draw the girl into something from which she'd receive only pain in return.
Funny, Zero thought. He'd come to this city, praying to escape the nightmares of his life; instead, it had come full-circle, with Zero once again desperately attempting to conceal the visible remnants of his hated identity.
"You should be careful. Not all vampires are like me."

*Dewshine met his glare without fear or repulse. Instead there was a warmth in her gaze that could melt a heart of stone. She belonged to a Warrior tribe, and before the rape, fear was a word she didn't know.*
"I am not afraid of vampires. They have no power over me. And there is only one vampire I care enough to get to know better - if he allows me to do so."

"I'd much rather you were afraid," Zero snarled, his violet eyes flashing in frustration.
His hand, however, alighted gently on Dewshine's slight shoulder and made its way to the soft, exposed flesh of her throat. His long, supple fingers stroked her neck with a curious tenderness, his eyes never leaving her face. His voice was a placating whisper, "Would you like a taste of what you're facing? I can show you."
Zero lunged forward, his teeth bared.

*Dewshine looked up at him with her sparkling, blue eyes. Her eyes widened when she felt his fingers stroking the soft, warm skin of her neck. She blushed deeply and looked into his eyes and her heart beat faster, not from fear, but from something much stronger.
When he lunged forward with his teeth bared, she leaned her head backwards, exposing her neck for him. There was no fear in her eyes as she gazed up at him, waiting for him to bite her.*
"Go ahead then." *She replied calmly.* "Show me."

But in fact, it had never been Zero's intention to bite her. He had merely wanted to frighten the girl, just so much that she would realize the danger that Zero posed upon her. His teeth sank down on air as he, without warning, slid his arm around Dewshine's waist, brashly bringing her forth to his lean figure.
"I worry for your safety," he murmured before bringing his lips to hers.

*Dewshine closed her eyes and returned his kiss, while wrapping her arms around him. She caressed his hair and shoulders gently as she deepened the kiss. She enjoyed the feeling of his strong arms around her. She felt safe in his arms.*

Her blood... how it sang to him. It rushed turbulently beneath her flesh, rushed for him.
It took much of Zero's willpower not to plunge his teeth into her throat right then and there. He diverted his eyes, trying in vain to ignore the fact that it would be effortless on his part.
Poor girl. She didn't know what she was getting into.
Zero pulled away, struggling for breath. He gasped, "I'm sorry."
