A pistol?! "W-what if I accidentally hurt Allen?" She whispered. She took the pistol, figuring any form of defense was better than none. Kaneko didn't even know how to use a gun. "Is it loaded? Where did you get it?" She asked him. She was still scared, but if he really was a friend of Allen's, then surely he wouldn't hurt her, would he?

Kaneko narrowed her eyes, "How do I know you're not going to just kill me right now?" She asked him. He could easily kill her, especially since the weapon wasn't even loaded. He said he was a friend, but what if that was just a lie to get close to Allen and in turn, get close to her? "I mean, you must understand why I'm suspicious. I have no idea who you really are. Or what, for that matter."

Kaneko watched him nervously and tucked some hair behind her ear. He had a point, if he wanted to hurt her he would have done so already. "Zero...okay well I still don't know why you've come here. To protect us from the bad people huh?" She asked and frowned. When he told her about the house and the history, she immediately thought of the photograph she had found. "One second." She said and quickly left to go retrieve it from where she had hidden it. Once she had it, she walked back and showed it to Zero. "I found this one day while cleaning. I imagine it's Allen and his parents and I found it shortly after Allen said he was seeing a boy. I don't really understand what it means but I just thought maybe you would know since you know a lot about him. More than I do."

Oh, so he didn't know everything either. Perhaps the only people that did, were no longer around. Kaneko sighed mentally and looked at Zero then at his outstretched hand. Trust him? Did she? Not really, but to protect Allen, she was going to have to. She would trust Zero to get to know more about him and keep him away from Allen. "Alright Zero, I trust you. A friend of Allen's is a friend of mine." She answered, taking his hand.

Kaneko stood with him, beneath the tree. Her eyes looking out into the vast whiteness of the snow that surrounded them. "Maybe it's better that he forgot about his past. Maybe it's a coping mechanism." She suggested softly. Her voice was soft, her eyes staring into the distance at nothing. Looking at Zero, she was curious. Curious as ever. "Did you used to live with him in that manor? Or do you know where the people who used to live with him there went? And why?" She looked down beneath their feet. Her foot swept away some of the fallen leaves. "And these, are these his parents?"

They would have turned on Allen? Kaneko thought that vampires were like families. She thought that they always looked out for each-other but that was clearly not the truth. Zero made it sound like vampires would turn on you when you least expected it and she guessed it made sense. Not all families were close. Anyone could turn on anyone for any kind of reason. Kaneko sighed, crossing her arms across her chest now. "Feral vampires.." She repeated quietly to herself, her eyes on the graves beneath their feet. It was so sad to hear that Allen's parents always had faith that he'd return. He did, but she just wished he could have returned when they were still here. Maybe then Allen would have been happier.

Maybe Allen's memories would come to him overtime. Maybe they wouldn't. What mattered now was that he was home. He was home and for the time being it looked like he was safe. She still didn't fully trust Zero, but if he really was here to help them then at least they had him in their corner. However, if he managed to find them then chances were others would be able to find them too. Unless they had followed Zero, but he would have noticed if that were the case. "I'm guessing feral vampires are more dangerous than regular ones?"

"These people that are looking for us..." Kaneko started, looking straight ahead. "Are they looking for us just to get to me? Is Allen in danger just because of me being..well..you know. A human?" She asked, honestly wanting to know. If she were a vampire, would people still try to look for Allen? If that was true, then that would mean she'd need to be...turned? But, didn't that hurt?

Zero had a point, her father even though he was in prison still had people doing his work. People who would stop at nothing to take her back home and watch over her while her father stayed in prison for however long that was. People would still look for Allen because of what he did to that man. She felt fear creep into her skin at the memory. The way that man died. The way his clothes were left in only a pile. Kaneko shook her head, wanting to shake the memory away. "It's okay. Allen would not allow it either." She answered, a small smile on her face. She had accepted that, and she was still okay with it. She would do everything she could to keep Allen safe until the day that she died. Afterwards, well...she didn't know what would happen after she was gone. "So..being turned will kill me? Is it really that dangerous?"

One of every ten? That was very bad. The numbers did not lie. Regardless, even if that weren't the case she knew that Allen would not want to do that. It was okay though. As long as she was able to be with him for however long she was able to, she'd be the happiest girl. Kaneko flinched, as if she could already feel the pain of the mentioned vampire venom.

"Zero!" Kaneko heard Allen's voice and turned to look in the direction it had come from, but her smile vanished when she saw Allen tackle Zero into the cold snow. "A-Allen!" She gasped, quickly kneeling and trying to pry Allen away from Zero. "Allen, don't!"

Kaneko frowned but she understood Allen's intentions. He just wanted to keep her safe. After everything they've been through, she didn't blame him for not fully trusting Zero. She herself didn't fully trust him. Listening to what Zero was saying, she looked around but didn't see anyone. Still, just because she couldn't see someone didn't mean no one was there. Listening. "W-why don't we go inside and have this conversation inside?" She suggested, standing to her feet and holding Allen's hand softly in hers. "We should at least hear him out Allen." She suggested quietly.

There would be no harm done in just listening to the man. Just not outside, it was cold and maybe someone was watching and listening to them. If they were going to discuss some sort of plan, she wanted it to be a very private matter. Zero had mentioned the council and Kaneko immediately thought the vampire council which was obviously very dangerous. She was going to need to protect Allen from them too, she couldn't stand around and be useless.
