A/N: Is anyone reading this story? I think this will be my last chapter I post for awhile :(

Zero POV

I cried over Phoenix's body for hours until Kaname told me to go get some rest.

Frowning, I did just that, deciding to go to Phoenix's room.

However, no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't fall asleep. The loss of my beloved kept weighing heavily on my heart.

And then out of nowhere, I sensed a strong presence and suddenly, a bright light appeared all over campus.

Kaname POV

We had taken Phoenix's body to the mausoleum just outside the Academy and then waited patiently for her to rise.

Hours went by, Yuki clutching onto me and crying as we waited.

"Are we sure she will rise again, Kaname?" Yuki whispered, tears still in her eyes.

"My dear Yuki, do you not trust me?" I asked. Wiping her tears away.

"I do... I'm just worried is all."

That's when it happened. A bright light begun to start shining from the mausoleum, all the way to the entirety of the school campus.

An explosion soon followed, the roof of the mausoleum blowing off.

Yuki and I rushed into the mausoleum in time to see our Phoenix literally rise from her ashes, with a completely new body.

Phoenix POV

I rose from the stone table I had been placed on, stretching my arms out wide.

Everything became clear then. I knew who I was and what occurred in the past.

"Phoenix?" Yuki asked carefully, stepping towards me.

I settled my violet eyes on her, grinning a lovely smile.

"Hello, Yuki-chan." I greeted her and then stood up, suddenly feeling something odd on my back. "Hmm. . . Seems I have grown wings."

I stretched the beautiful silver wings out widely, a strong wind kicking up as I did so.

"Woah!" Was all Yuki said, staring in awe at me.

"Phoenix, how are you feeling?" Kaname stepped forward then.

"I feel great! But something is missing from this picture. . ." I replied and it hit me. "Where's Zero?"

Zero POV

I rushed towards the mausoleum as soon ad I realized it was her presence I sensed.

Great joy and relief filled me.

My beloved seemed to be alive!

It took me only a few moments before I reached the building, and when I did, I couldn't believe my eyes upon seeing her.

I found her beautiful before. But now, seeing her with her magnificent wings, she looked extravagant.

"Phoenix. . ." I called her name and she instantly ran towards me, kissing me passionately, me returning her kiss with the same amount of passion.

"Zero, I remember everything! Even this." She touched the scar at the back of my neck, causing me to blush suddenly. "I gave you this when you pushed me into fighting that vampire. You're lucky that's all I did."

Several moments of silence followed after that before Phoenix spoke up.

"What has happened in the few hours I was out?" She asked, seriously. "What happened to the Council?"

"They're dead." Kaname replied flatly. "We took them out before they caused anymore trouble."

Phoenix nodded her head in understandment.

"Even though the apparent threat to my life is gone, I have been warned of another enemy lurking in our midst." My beloved spoke words that rattled me.

"Who warned you?" I asked her, suddenly worried.

"My parents did when I was... asleep. They told me everything about what happened and why they were killed that night. . ." She then went on to explain about the vision she had seen of the witch who was behind everything.

"So, Rosette has been the one after you all along. . . I should have known. . ." Kaname spoke aloud, an angry expression forming on his face. "She erased your memories so you wouldn't remember seeing her the night of your parent's deaths."

"Yes and I fear she's nearby, waiting to attack." Phoenix said, a slight expression of fear on her face.

Rosette POV

Everything is going as I planned. I thought to myself, watching the scene unfold as Phoenix reawakened.

"Yes and I fear she's nearby, ready to attack."

I smirked widely.

That's right, little Phoenix. I'm very near and ready to strike. But not just yet. The time has not yet come.

With that, I used the powers granted to me and flew into the sky, making sure Phoenix and the others saw me.

Phoenix POV

"There she is!" I declared, spotting the beautiful, but deadly witch. On instinct. I spread my wings out and flew after her, catching up to her quickly.

"My dear Phoenix. It's good to see you as your old self again." She spoke in that enchanting voice of hers, stopping me in my tracks.

"Rosette, whatever your plans are for me, I will not let you go through with them!" I shouted, my inner fire fighting to come out.

"Oh, but darling, there will be nothing you can do to stop me. You see, you're just another piece in my little puzzle, something I can easily control. Look at you now! You can't even capture me because you're under my control." Her green eyes bore into mine, and for a split second, I saw the evil glow of them.

Not believing her words fully. I tried to fly forward, but instantly was held back by an invisible force.

"Don't worry, my little bird. When the time comes, I'll let you spread your wings and come after me, but for now, I'll leave you to the troubling thoughts forming in that little head of yours as we speak." I gasped as her power over me receded. "But take heed, this will not be the last time we meet."

With that, the witch disappeared in a cloud of green mist, me suddenly hurtling to the ground.

"No! My wings aren't working anymore!" I squeezed my eyes, ready for the impact, but it never came. Slowly opening them, I looked up into the lavender eyes that always seemed to see through my soul.

"Ill always catch you no matter what, my beautiful, Phoenix." He kissed my forehead, holding me gently in his arms.

"Ahem. As heroic as it was for Zero to have caught you, what just happened?" Yuki spoke up, bringing my attention back to the matter at hand.

"I'm not sure myself..." I admittrd aloud as Zero sat me down and I stood up straight. "But I know the witch will be back. She made that clear."

I thought back to when I felt a force shield keep me away from her and then when my wings stopped working.

"She's more powerful than I anticipated."

"You know what this means, right, Phoenix?" Kaname asked in that calm-collected voice of his.

"Yes. We're about to be in an all out war." Was all I said as I started walking off, mentally preparing for the conversation that would need to be had with the Headmaster.

Rosette POV

I let out a sharp intake of breath as I felt the vampire pierce his fangs into my neck.

He drank deeply and when he was satiated he looked up to me with those emerald eyes.

"Once again, you have quenched my thirst. . . It seems your blood is the only blood that will. . ."

"That's because I was the one who brought you back to life. Hibari Ren." I told him, running my hands through his black hair.

"Why did you bring me back, Rosette? I witnessed my only child killed by the hands of that abomination."

A smirk spread across my face as I stood and walked forward a few steps from the bed we had been laying on.

"So you can get the revenge you so much deserve." I spun back around, admiring the build of the naked man in my bed. "Don't you want revenge, Hibari?"

"Yes. I want to rip the heart of that abomination out and hold it in my hands so she can see me crush it." His emerald eyes took on an evil look.

"And you will. After I get mine." With that said, I crawled seductively back onto the bed, settling myself on top of the vampire under my control.

"Rosette. . ." He whispered out as I pushed myself down onto him. He crashed his lips against mine heatedly as we began our nightly routine of love making.
