note: rewrite of "Spring Time for the Vampires" which was written over a year ago. A few things have changed, including more scenes in the smut and just general add-ons for you guys to enjoy. This is also unedited, so yes, there will be mistakes, but hopefully nothing too big.

.

"Hey, Yuuki?" the petite girl whispered from beside me.

My head was laid against the desk, the effects from last night's late night patrol making my head pound. The night had been much longer because my so-called partner had disappeared for the third time in a row this week. Tonight was a Friday night, so I knew that the Day Class would be even more rowdier, and this just got me quite irritated because he wasn't around.

However, I suppose I knew that something was up with Zero at this point of time.

One thing I knew though, was that his odd behaviour was not because of his thirst. I had literally fed him the other day, and my blood lasted longer with him now—a week. I had another two days before he would need blood once more, so that was not at the top of my list of things that had caused his behaviour.

The girl beside me was watching me for a moment, "Have you seen Zero anywhere?"

My head unconsciously shook. I didn't actually know where he was. One thing for sure, he was not sitting behind me, silently judging. While, it was nice to not feel his glare on my back when I said something that he did not agree with, it just… wasn't right.

He hadn't been to classes for the last three days, and I had not seen him other than a few times when he actually decided to help me with the fangirls that seemed to stalk around the college.

"I might go and ask the chairman after school," I sighed, not really wishing to do so.

I stood up.

I knew full well I wouldn't find Zero in his room, and that was something I was positive of. He just… did not 'hide' there, like ever.

After school had—to my relief—finished, I made my way towards where my father's office was. Lightly, I tapped my fist against the wooden door. I waited a few seconds, heard a bag—like one for chips—close, and a 'Come in' from his end.

I silently walked in, and he was chewing on his food, swallowing, and placing a hand on the snacks. He looked up to me, smiled, and basically, silently, asked what I was wanting.

"Afternoon, headmaster," I greeted softly, "Have you seen Zero anywhere? I haven't seen him in days, and I'm starting to get really worried."

A frown adorned the usually cheerful man's face, as he clasped his fingers together. He looked over at me and nodded his head, slumping in his chair. He then decided to stand up, and strolled back and forth a few times before facing me. I watched his walking around with a little worry, but kept it to myself.

"Well, Yuuki, I really have no clue how to tell you this," the cinnamon-eyed man started.

My heart literally felt like it stopped, and I hesitated, unsure of what to say to something like that. Had something happened to Zero? Fear pounded through me like a shot of adrenaline, and I really, really was hoping that, whatever had occurred, was not as bad as what I was making it out to be. But from the look on my adoptive father's face, it was something important.

"It seems… that Zero's ready to find his mate," the chairman said, leaning against his desk, crossing his arms over his chest.

Confusion flitted onto my features, I was sure. I blinked a few times, before opening my mouth and letting out a 'huh?' in confusion.

Noticing my apparent confusion, he started once more, "You see, a vampire falls into a heat during spring, much like an animal. Zero, while he fought off his vampiric nature for a long time, still got slightly affected by this. However, when he took your blood for the first time, his entire instinctual database seemingly comes to life. However, this does not answer your question that well, now does it?

One of the reasons a vampire goes into heat is that they have found someone that means a lot to them, and automatically that is the person they wish to, and only can, mate with. This is usually the main reason for a vampire to become very, well, unstable. His moods will be much more easily set off, and he would be crueller as well.

However, his mate is one of the only ones he cannot harm during this time, but he may be unable to stop himself from taking her. That is just… the way he will be."

"So," I said, slight hesitance in my tone, "for a vampire to claim their mate… they have to have sex?"

The headmaster just nodded.

I wondered if a vampire, to claim their mate, would go through a ritual of sorts. Like maybe biting them, or exchanging blood or just… finishing.

"That… is one of the components," Kaien stated, nodding his head, "However, the other part is, is that a vampire has to bond the two of them. This is done by the vampire biting his mate during intercourse, and later, within a twenty-four hour frame, he gets her to drink his blood."

Oh, well that was just a basic answer.

"Would it be… applicable to see Zero? Or is that too dangerous?" I asked.

I wanted to give him some of the notes he had missed, seeing as we are soon going to go through some exams. I didn't want him to fail for something like this.

Kaien looked thoughtful for a bit, biting his lip, "Ah… I guess it would be fine. You're literally one of the people he would never hurt, and I doubt that would change, even with his instincts being all over the place."

Why would the headmaster answer like that anyways? I thought he was only alright towards his mate? I guess I'll have to trust my father…

.

.

The fact that Zero was being kept in the dungeons beneath the school annoyed me a little. But I supposed it was to keep everyone in the Day Class safe, and that, I couldn't argue with.

I opened the heavy door with a key that the headmaster had given me. I slipped it into my shirt again, seeing as it was on a chain, and headed in, closing the door behind me. In my hand was a notebook and a pencil case.

Slowly, I descended down the stairs, deeper into the dark and miserable room.

My eyes finally found the body of my fellow prefect; he was laying on the double bed, his shirt off and his eyes closed. I stepped down onto the concrete, and he stiffened, sitting up automatically.

His eyes… crimson was the main colouring.

The bright red surprised me a bit, and I hesitated, stepping back a little. I didn't know if he could see who I was, and I wondered why I came here when he was like this. It might have been better to wait it off. That's what I thought.

"Zero…?" I asked, my tone allowing my nervousness to be known.

"Yuuki," Zero muttered, his eyes narrowing on me.

I crept to him, much like a doe who had been lured in by a big cat. He was a predator at the moment. That's all I could think, as much as those thoughts were bad. But my adoptive father's words that Zero would not hurt me, stopped me from running from the room screaming.

"Why…" his eyes reverted back to the silvery lilac state, allowing me to know he was somewhat back to normal, "did you come here? Did the headmaster not tell you about anything?"

I looked at him, my face becoming puzzled.

"Dammit, Yuuki…" he snarled, disappearing from sight, and making my heart start beating quickly.

I felt breath behind me, and a hand clasping onto my wrist. He gripped me close, breathing quietly into my neck. The warm air hitting me, causing goosebumps to break out. I was scared. I was terrified. I could feel my heart beating quickly, and I was silently unsure whether or not Zero was, well Zero, now.

"You're… so fucking stupid," he hissed. "I'm fucking wanting to fuck something, and yet you're here. What a fucking joke."

I gulped, and turned my head over my shoulder, seeing my adoptive brother's fangs lengthened, and his mouth agape. His eyes did not yet gain a blood-red hue. I wanted out. Now. I turned around, but did not realize my mistake. Within seconds, I had my back to the ground, and his lithe body over mine. He straddled over me, placing a slight amount of weight over me, making sure I was truly pinned to the ground. I struggled a little, but stopped when his eyes became soft. He traced my cheek with long, pale fingers, and then leaned in close, so all I could see where his moonstone eyes. He sniffed and continue his gentle strokes.

I then realized it.

He was trying to calm me down.

"W… Why did you…?" I whispered, confused by his behaviour.

My silver-haired vampire looked to the side before uttering, "Tch… what did that bastard say anyways?"

His digits were now on my lips, tracing the outline, but when he wanted me to move, he moved to my nose.

My back ached a little from being on the ground… it was hard and cold, not a good mix.

"He… mentioned that you're in heat," I murmured, leaving out the details.

I then felt his lips enclose around my ear, gently biting down. I let out a gasp at the surprising action from him, before he moved his lips down, licking all the way, and playfully bit my neck. However, no blood was shed as he was being careful of his lengthy fangs.

The vampire nodded his head, helping me up as he sat up. He moved me closer to his body, burying his head into the crevice of my neck. His tongue came again, licking and swiping against the surface of my flesh.

"I can only go into heat when I love someone."

"I know…"

"But do you know who has caused me to fall in love?" he asked, his voice low but calm.

The in-heat vampire suckled on my flesh, allowing his hands to move down to my waist before pressing my stunned body to his own warm one.

"You… couldn't really…" I whispered, surprise lacing my words, feeling the teenager continue his gentle ministrations, "Are you saying that you—Oh!"

His hands… they started travelling beneath my shirt, touching the flesh of my stomach. He paused there before pulling them behind my back. I let out a sound I did not even recognise, and heard him laugh softly in response. His fingers fiddled with my back. His digits eventually trailed against my spine, causing me to shiver lightly. The sensation, while pleasant, was odd.

"Yes…" he said in a hushed tone, "Always."

His hands slid out from my shirt as he moved closer. His eyes were on my lips, and a light blush dusted my cheeks. He leaned in, and allowed our lips to brush against one another. With a little pressure, we were kissing. I closed my eyes, and wrapped my arms around his neck. He kept the kiss gentle, and it was so innocent in my mind. He was taking his time, that was easy to tell.

However, the gentle kiss instantly became one that was rather shocking to me—something I hadn't even read in cheesy romance novels. His glossa had touched my lower lip, licking lightly. I did not understand, but opened my mouth, nonetheless. I felt his glossa enter my mouth, licking at the walls of my cheeks, and exploring my mouth. This kiss had become one that practically screamed of his intentions, yet I had no want of pulling away.

Of course, until the need for air was present.

He pulled away, and I was panting roughly, getting in the air that I had used without even realizing.

"Why…" I watched him with tears started to glisten in my dark eyes, "didn't you ever tell me about this?"

However, he ignored my question, placing his head into my neck again. He enjoyed that, it seemed, and while I wanted to know his answer, I did not say anything, and instead allowed myself to enjoy the feeling. However, I felt Zero hoist the both of us up. Instinctively, I wrapped my legs around his waist, not wanting to fall down. I looked at him underneath my dark lashes, as he leaned in to kiss away the tears that had gathered from before. He started making his way to his bed, and gently laid me down upon it. He followed, leaning over me.

His lips met my throat once more, dragging his glossa against my neck. I swallowed and moaned softly. His silver hair tickled me a little, and I couldn't stop myself from laughing. It was a soft squeak, and he heard and watched me with innocent eyes, as if he had done no wrong (which he knew he did!).

The man's fingers played with the front of my shirt—wait… when did his hands get there of all places? I let out a shriek of surprise, but Zero stopped the noise by clamping his mouth down onto mine. Instead, the noise came out as a distorted moan.

"H—Hey…" I murmured, when he broke the lip lock.

He shifted so I had better access to his gemstone eyes, and he also pulled us closer at the same time, grinning rather slyly. However, the look faded away as he regarded me rather silently. He nuzzled close, brushing our nose together, before he rested his forehead against my own, staring down into my own eyes.

"I won't do anything without your permission," he said softly, "… Besides, I don't think you'd want me as a mate, anyways."

He looked to the side, pulling away slightly.

I frowned at him, my cheeks puffing up in a scowl. I lifted my hands, rested them against his jawline and gently pulled his face back to me. I watched him, and his eyes softened slightly as he leant down and kissed me once more. His kiss was more passionate then the last. The vampire let out a growl—no… it was more like a lulling purr. He pulled me into his chest. My heart slowed a little from the calming sound of his purr, and I relaxed into his arms.

Once more, a hand was on my chest, lightly groping one of my breasts, while his other arm was wrapped around me, stroking my back through my uniform. He cupped me through my shirt and bra, and I could not stop myself from moaning lightly.

He pulled back before leaning in to capture my lips once more. I felt Zero's fingers drop down to the hem of my shirt, undoing the buttons. I tried to pull away, but his other arm stopped me from doing so. As he slowly, ever so slowly, popped each button, I felt my face become more and more redder. Finally, the last button was gone, and he pushed back.

I must have been quite a sight to him, but his eyes never wandered down to my chest. Instead, he focused on pulling off the shirt, allowing it to fall down my arms. It gathered into a rumpled 'circle' around my waist.

In seconds, I was just left in a white bra.

He reached a hand outward, cupping my breast once more, moulding the flesh in between his large hands. He pulled the cup downwards, allowing one breast to be exposed, and his eyes automatically drifted downwards as he fondled me, making me gasp.

He knew what he was doing, that was for sure.

I let my face become even more red from the embarrassment I was feeling; I had never been touched like this, and it was just… shocking to me. His digits brushed against my nipples, making them stiffen as he reached down and cupped the swell of my breast.

"Zero…" I moaned softly as he continued tweaking my nipple and massaging my mounds.

I gazed up at him, and noted that his eyes had become darker. I was unsure what was the cause of the change, but it made his eyes look even more so ominous and strange. But the colour, as always, was one of the most beautiful shades of lilac I had ever seen. His lashes covered a bit of his eyes from my view as he paid more attention to my chest then anything else. He leaned in close and sniffed, allowing his tongue to come out and swipe against my sensitive tips.

I hissed and moaned, "M—Matte."

Zero pulled away, frowning slightly, "What's wrong, Yuuki? Am I doing something wrong?" he asked, his tone unsure.

I shook my head as he reached his arms around me, finding the clips of my bra, and silently undoing them. I felt my breasts spill out the moment he pulled the material away. Almost instantly, I covered my chest with my arms, even though he had seen them before, it was worse now.

Much worse.

My face was burning, and I'm sure I looked like some little teenager that had had something said to her from her crush. That was for sure.

However, the main reason for my embarrassment was because no teen nor man had seen my body like this. Bare. It was an extreme for me.

But… should Zero really be seeing this much? I implied, somewhat, that he loved me. But what was the truth behind that? Did he actually love me for me, or did he want my body more than anything else—is that the main cause for what he's doing right now? That, I did not know. I hesitated, keeping my chest covered and unexposed; should I ask?

I already knew the answer to that.

"Z—Zero…" I was chewing on my lip, and it was starting to hurt a little, "How… do you feel about me? I… I'm so nervous, and I…"

I could feel my pulse quicken as I said those words. My calm from before all but gone. I shivered lightly, but not enough for it to look like I was truly frightened. I was looking down, at the dark sheets. One arm was securely around my chest, keeping my breasts from being exposed, the other was now tightly clenching down onto the dark sheets of his bed.

Shyly, I gazed up at him.

The firth thing I noticed was that he was looking away. His jaw was set, and I could not help myself from feeling more doubt. I felt the stinging sensation of tears, and I sniffed to stop myself from crying.

Zero must have sensed it then, because his eyes were back on me, the previous tautness gone. His eyes were soft as he leaned in close, and kissed away the one tear that had escaped. He licked it up, making my embarrassment near impossible to be rid of. However, Zero pulled away and allowed a feral growl to escape his throat. My body stiffened. Fear pooled into me now.

The boy I had grown up with shook his head, lifting his left hand to cup his head, "I… I care for you to the point I'd go to hell and back if you were in danger," he covered his eyes, "You know this, don't you?" he paused, taking a breath, his voice lowering—impossibly low now, "Didn't you hear what I said?"

"Don't you dare…" the silver-haired vampire had stood up now, a haunting glare on his face, "take anything else away from me!"

I pursed my lips and nodded my head, dropping it slightly, only for Zero to lean in again. He met my lips again, but this kiss, once more, was different to the others that we shared. They were gentle strokes. However, there was a message lacing his lips, and I had a sneaking suspicion of what that was. I slipped my eyes closed, and dropped my hands.

Zero understood.

He dropped the kiss and pulled his head down, so he was eye level with my chest. He pushed me down a bit, so that he was hovering above me. His body straddled mine, but made sure that he would not hurt me with his weight. His lips encased around one taut nipple, taking it into his mouth. He chewed gently, very, very mindful of those razor sharp canines of his. Soon, his lips closed around my right tit and he started to suck.

I gasped, my fingers finding their way to his hair and lightly pulling at the silver locks. He groaned softly, switching breasts. However, this time, he kept one hand on the one he was at before, rubbing and massaging the flesh. He then took the other rosy nipple into his mouth, giving it the same treatment as the other.

My fingers clenched in his hair, and he pulled back a bit, allowing me to hear a snarl. I froze, but he dropped his head again, sucking on the swell of my bosom. He left behind a dark purple mark, and he licked over it, seemingly soothing the flesh.

As his actions continued, I felt my body start to heat up, and wetness start to gather. I closed my legs, squeezing a little to give myself some relief, but nothing really happened. I just felt… odd. I knew I needed something, but what I was unsure of. The only thing I knew, was that Zero was the only one who could give that to me.

The vampire smirked lightly, and took my bright red tit into his mouth once more. A fang swiped the tip, causing me to shiver. It sent goosebumps up my spine, but I had to say that it was a pleasure-filled feeling. I closed my eyes, enjoying his ministrations, but he pulled away too soon for my liking.

He kissed me again.

I decided to explore him this time, and he seemed fine with it. He allowed me to do as I pleased. I noticed that his mouth was seemingly bitter. It was a nice taste, however. Silently, I wondered what I tasted like to him, but I did not want to ask, seeing as when I asked a similar question, he had not answered me.

My tongue brushed against his fangs, and we both pulled back, mainly him. He let out a growl, a light blush coating his features as he covered his mouth.

"Zero, I didn't…" I licked my lips, "I didn't mean to do that; that hurt, right? But… what happened?"

"Fangs are sensitive," he said gently, allowing his hand to fall from his mouth, "and that…"

He smirked deviously, latching himself onto my chest again, leaving more love-bites then before. They soon covered my chest in a rather, as they say, sexy way. I let out a moan as his kisses made their way down my stomach.

"And that…" he continued, "turned me on even more."

He stopped with his kiss at the waistband of my skirt, hesitation obvious.

I was unsure as well. Allowing my hesitance to be shown, I bit down on my lip. He noticed and kissed me again, however, on the forehead this time. It allowed me to calm down a little, and I allowed myself to nod and murmur a 'yes'. His hands slowly crept onto my skirt, before dragging it down my legs. He pulled the black skirt off and placed it on the ground along with my shirt (which he had tossed over along with the skirt).

All I was left in was my panties, and that made me feel very self-conscious.

The lilac-eyed creature gazed at me, his fingers tracing the waistband of my white panties. It was very, very sensual, and I couldn't stop myself from letting out a sound of pleasure. He smiled lightly, shifting his hand downwards, tracing over my sex, but never really reaching where I actually needed him right now. He stopped about halfway down over my pubic bone, but did not venture any further south.

He was asking permission, I knew that well.

I also knew well that this would be an utter and complete betrayal to Kuran Kaname. While I did get over him months ago, I still felt a little guilty about this.

However, this was about me and Zero; not him.

And I would make this decision on my own.

I noticed that he was shaking lightly, and had retracted his hand. He pushed himself further away, and I was about to make comment, but I noticed crimson eyes staring at me. His expression was blank, and he was not letting me know anything, that was for sure. He stared at me with those frightening eyes, but I had no want to run away.

However, I noted that his expression softened lightly. His eyes did not revert, no, but I could tell that Zero was still there under those hungry, vampiric eyes. He was still Zero, and he was still here with me.

He, as one of the many that could read what was going on in my head, must have known how important this was to me. I did not want to do anything I regret. But I had a feeling that, anything with Zero, would be something that would involve no regrets. That's just what I thought. He moved towards me again, slightly afraid from the way he crawled over, but I knew that I could trust him.

He leaned into my neck, inhaling my sent before doing his normal strokes of his tongue against the flesh. He was tasting me, perhaps. Or he just enjoyed doing this.

However, I wanted to know, "How come is it you're able to do something like that, when you'd normally get affected by bloodlust?"

From the moment of silence, I had guessed he wasn't going to answer, and decided to let the question pass, and perhaps ask someone else.

"My instincts are heightened today, and it had nothing to do with feeding," he answered earnestly, continuing his kisses.

After a moment of silence, he quietly asked, "Can I?"

He was asking to undress me further. I wanted this. I knew I did. The way my body acted with his touch, I knew that this was what I wanted. But I was human. I felt fear. I wondered if, at this moment, he did as well? That, I was unsure of.

I nodded my head, allowing hooded eyes to watch him.

The vampire sat upwards and moved away so that I could have a bit of space. I, myself, sat up as well, and silently asked why he had moved.

"… I want more."

It was something I understood now. I knew what he wanted.

His eyes traced over my near-naked form, drinking it in. I looked away, feeling my obvious self-consciousness arising once more. I covered my bosom and lower… part. He smirked lightly, but a frown replaced that in seconds.

"The way I'm touching you, and what I'm asking for… I have no right. As it is, I take your blood on a weekly basis, and for that, I call myself weak," he stated, his voice a monotone and flat.

I moved closer to him, pressing down on his chest, his back hitting the mattress below, and I climbed above him. Straddling him. His dark red eyes blinked as he watched me in slight amazement and confusion. However, he did not push me down or away. I leaned down, my hair falling over the side of my neck, and kissed his throat, hearing him groan a little.

He, like me, was missing a shirt, and I sat up a bit to stroke his skinny chest, feeling his muscles ripple beneath my fingertips. I felt something hard against me, and I presumed I knew what it was, I backed up a little, and noticed the tent forming underneath his sweat pants. Gently, I laid a hand against him, hearing him groan and hiss. He closed his eyes.

I knew he trusted me in this moment.

Shyly, I pulled my hand up and slowly put it into his pants. I noted instantly that he was wearing no underwear of any kind, and I met his hardness. I pulled him into my hand, hearing a slight cry from him as I gently stroked his length. From what I could feel, I could tell he was big. I could also tell that he was extremely turned on now.

Slowly, I made my hand into a fist and loosely pumped him up and down, similar to what I had heard other girls say to their boyfriends.

However, he uttered out a "Tighter… faster…"

I did as I was told, moving my hand up and down, in between squeezing him and pulling him back and forth quickly into my hand.

By now, he was letting out gentle pants, and he was thrusting into my hand.

But, in a few more seconds, he securely placed his hand against my wrist, effectively stopping me from continuing with him. He sat up, so I was still on his lap, and placed above his hard-on. I whimpered lightly, feeling more liquid pool down there.

"Please…" I whispered softly; I knew what I wanted now, "I never said I didn't want this."

As if he could not take it anymore, he slammed me down onto the mattress. Taking my lips in a powerful kiss, one that was harsher and rougher than the ones we had performed tonight. He was sure to have left bruises across my lips, that's for sure.

He paused though, watching me silent, "I won't be able to stop…"

"I don't want you to."

I pecked his lips and felt him lean further down. However, he sat up a bit, and pulled at the waistline of my panties and soon began trailing them down my legs, and like everything else, it was pushed onto the ground. We were kissing again as he did this, and I did offer him some help as well. Zero took off my stocking as well, finding them rather irritating in this whole matter. (I had taken off my boots outside).

Within a few seconds, I saw him lean down so he was level with my sex. I closed my legs, feeling extremely shocked by this. But he pried them open and pressed a finger against the little nub above the slit.

It felt like a jolt of electricity, and I'm sure, to Zero, it looked like I had been electrocuted.

He smirked, finding obvious amusement out of this, and leaned down further, dragging his wet tongue against the surface of my (equally wet) slit. I clenched my legs around his head as he continued this. He licked there. Over and over.

It was mind-boggling just how good it felt. But I wanted him on that little nub again, but, as many times as I lifted my head to get him there, he just refused. Instead, using his two fingers, he opened up my labia and gave himself better entrance to the opening of my womanhood. He licked at the opening, allowing his tongue to enter.

I gasped, my fingers instinctually pulling at the sheets beneath me, and tugging at them. I'm sure that, with this sort of pulling, I could pull them all off my bed. I hissed and twisted my body, but he didn't allow me out. I needed something, that I knew.

Soon, he replaced his tongue with two fingers, pulling them in and out of me. He curled them and seemingly 'scratched' the walls of my sex.

Excitement flowed through me as he pulled his fingers in and out, seemingly preparing me for something.

He pressed his digits up, and it struck another magical part there. This time, I couldn't help the shrill scream erupting from my throat. I hissed more and more, and he just continued touching there. Lightly, he touched the sensitive nub outside of my sex, giving me even more euphoric feeling. I screamed again, and felt a sudden thing inside of my burst.

My toes curled without me noticing, and it felt like Zero had added another digit to me. But he hadn't. He had pulled his fingers away when the pure feeling of bliss started to fade. He licked his fingers clean, and dropped his head again to take a few more drops of my essence from the direct source.

However, he pulled away too quickly, and I was left behind with a slight burn of needing something else.

Zero's eyes were bright red, and he seemed too serious. I reached a hand up to pull him close so that I could kiss him, but he hissed and snarled at me, pulling his head away. His teeth were bared, and he hissed at me in a feral way. The vampire seemed to pause, and look at me apologetically, kissing the top of my forehead, closing his eyes. He was apologising silently, and that made me feel rather, well, happy.

Zero, in more of a way to say he was sorry, lifted my body up a bit, and slammed two fingers inside of me again. I let out a cry of shock at this as he pumped his fingers in and out, in a much better way. His fingers reached deeper, but did not brush against whatever it was that made me feel that bliss earlier. It was as if…

After a few minutes, I could feel the pressure in my belly rise again, and just before it could burst again, rather cruelly, he pulled away, licking away the liquid once more with a heavy smirk coating his lips.

Zero pulled away from me, shrugging off his sweats. He pushed them off of the bed and groaned lightly. He came back to me again, hovering over my body in a protective way. He nuzzled my cheek affectionately, looking into my eyes, asking permission. He placed a hand around his hard member, stroking it once, and positioned himself at my entrance.

I nodded my head, wrapping my arms around his back.

"Once I do this," he warned, "we're bonded. Are you fine with that? And what… Kuran?"

I smiled at him, lifting my body up to kiss him, "I don't care for him like that anymore. He… frightens me, and… he isn't someone that I can trust easily," I then lowered my voice, "I… love you, Zero."

He froze like an ice statue.

But he did not freeze for much longer, his lips met mine again, and I felt his tip dab at my entrance before he slowly made his penetration. He broke the kiss, threading our fingers together as he continued on. I looked away, feeling a slight stinging sensation from him stretching my walls, but other than that, it wasn't as bad as I had expected.

When he reached the bottom, he paused and looked up at me, sweat dripping off of his face, "Did it hurt?"

"No," I said honestly, beaming at him.

He brushed our lips, but not actually making it an actual kiss, "Good."

I revelled in the feel of him inside of me. While, it was different, it was a good different. I felt a pressure inside of me, and I did not want him to leave. I wrapped my legs lower, around his torso. I tightened up against him. He hissed and closed his eyes, pulling out a little and thrusting himself forwards.

I cried out, giving him back the favour of him always licking me. He sighed and moved his hand (that was once gripping my own) down to my lower back, lifting my body up a little. His thrusts were gentle, and I knew he was holding back. I moved my head, nibbling his ear gently. Almost instantly, his body jolted forwards, sending him further than before.

I let out a squeak.

Zero pulled his length out completely, before burying it back inside my sex. He continue this re-penetration, making me howl in pleasure. My fingers tightened around his neck, and I couldn't stop the moans from escaping this time.

This was even better then when he had been touching me with his fingers, and licking my sex. This was much better. I could not believe that this much good was possible. Ever. It just was absolutely surprising.

His body rocked against me, "Oh please—faster!"

His thrusts darted back and forth, and I couldn't stop myself from scraping my nails down his back. The vampire above me snarled.

We were both close.

We both knew it.

And soon, we both hit our climax.

As mine continued, I felt him lick gently at my neck before biting down into my flesh. I stilled a little, and he slowed down a bit as he emptied his seeds inside. He rocked me slowly, back and forth and he kept his fangs buried inside of my throat, lapping away at my blood. He swiped up remnants that got away from him, and made sure that my neck was clean.

His eyes were crimson as he pulled away, wiping the back of his mouth. But he missed some, and I wiped away the blood he had missed. He leaned down, taking my thumb into his mouth and sucking it away. Purrs were all I could hear from him, as he leaned over me. His eyes reverted back into their usual lilac, but they seemed brighter then I had ever seen before. This surprised me some, and I gently rubbed his cheek, his purring kicking up even more so.

The vampire leaned in, sniffing me a little. His nose scrunched up, and he went in for another whiff. He paused, and tilted his head, confused a little.

"Zero," I asked softly; my voice must have sounded tired to him, "what's wrong?"

He shook his head, brushing, whatever it was, off. He sat up, and pulled me into his arms. I relaxed against his naked chest, feeling extremely comfortable now.

He turned me around so I was facing him, and brought his wrist up before, unceremoniously, biting into it. I gasped at his self-mutilation, and was about to tell him off, before he offered his wrist to me. I stared at him, definitely confused, until I remember that Kaien had said that the mate needed to have the male's blood as well to be bonded together.

I gently took his wrist and placed my mouth over where he had bitten himself, and licked up the fluid. I swallowed and pulled away, having had enough of the metallic tasting substance. Zero kissed my head, sniffing as well.

"You smell like me," he murmured softly.

I blinked and looked up at him, "Really?"

"Yeah."

We stayed silent like that for a bit, and he continued inhaling my scent. I was about to doze off in the comfort of his arms, but I felt him stiffen from above me.

"What is it?"

"Fuck," he cursed, dropping his head in what seemed to be shame.

I paused, turned my head and gaze at him, "What is it?"

He lowered his head, gently moving his hand to my stomach and stroking it. I paused. Is he saying that I…?

"How could you even tell?" I asked, not even asking the question.

"Your body is preparing itself," he answered simply, not even saying the 'p' word.

I closed my eyes, and hugged my stomach, "I'm pregnant… huh?"

"Yeah," he answered, no emotion evident in his voice.

"But how?" I stated, remembering the little medication that I was on, "I'm on the pill; that makes no sense."

"Vampires are different to humans, Yuuki," he said, "pills aren't going to stop you from getting pregnant."

I smiled to myself. I was carrying a child. But then fear fell onto me. School. The headmaster. What was I going to do about that?

Zero must have heard my heart accelerate, and he hugged me, "Calm down, Yuuki. It's fine…" he then shook his head, "but do you want this?"

"I do, demo…" I pinched my lips, "it's…"

"The headmaster?" Zero offered, resting his head against my own.

I nodded my head, "Yeah… is that a bad thing?"

The silver-haired teen shook his head, "It's… not…"

"Are you upset about it?" I said, resting my head against his bare chest, he had lowered his own head at this.

"Iie," he muttered softly, his voice gentle in my ears, "I've lost all of my family in one way or another… This makes me, rather happy."

I felt a growl rumble through his chest, and I froze, but he stated, "How are we going to tell Cross about this?"

Slowly, I pursed my lips and frowned. True, how were we going to tell our adoptive father that I was pregnant with my adoptive brother's child. I scowled to myself, feeling my eyes narrow slightly, but I shook my head. There was no point in thinking about this for the moment. I closed my eyes and forced my body to loosen.

"I… really have no clue," I answered honestly, "and I'm surprised about this anyways."

He chuckled lightly before murmuring, "Same for me," he turned me around so that I could gaze into his moonstone eyes, "You do know that…" Zero paused, seemingly thinking of his next words, "that a vampire child is different to that from a human, correct?"

"I—I know it would be different," I stuttered.

I was no idiot.

Vampires and humans were the same in some ways, but so different in other ways.

The vampire that I had known ever since my childhood lowered his hand down to my stomach, right above our child that, at this very moment, was developing inside of me. He gently petted my belly, rubbing it soothingly. However, he stopped for a moment, and looked at me with upset eyes.

"I could have put you into danger," he rubbed a circle over my belly, "with this."

I lightly glared at him, "I don't care."

He shook his head, but let out a heavy exhale, "Let's just sleep for now… we'll talk about this later on."

As Zero and myself laid down, I felt him wrap his arms around me as the dark blanket fell on top of us. I closed my eyes, and felt the gentle vibration of his purrs pull me into a deep sleep.

.

.

The next morning, I found myself fully-dressed in my adoptive father's spare bedroom, which was located in the small cottage just outside the academy. I sat up, ran my fingers through my mess hair, and looked around.

How did I get here?

I looked around to find a hint as to how I got here, and I sighed to myself, shaking my head. Maybe all of it was a dream, and Zero and I never actually… I lowered my hand onto my still flat stomach, but without being a vampire, I couldn't tell if there was actually a baby growing in my womb at this current point of time.

I heard a knock on the door, and I bolted out of the bed, rushing to the door. I opened it, and there was the silver-haired vampire that had (possibly) made love to me the night before. I watched him silently, gauging his reaction. His lilac eyes were on me, and it made me quiver at the way they were.

"Morning," he said quietly, looking away from me, allowing me to escape the smouldering look, "Are you okay?"

I had lowered my hand to my stomach, and he was watching me again—actually, no, it was my hand. I stiffened and pulled away, only for him to catch my hand, and rest his other hand on my belly. He then leaned down, lifting up the material of the night shirt, and proceeded to kiss my lower stomach. My eyes widened, and realization came to mind that, indeed, what I thought may have happened last night had happened.

"Yuuki?" he asked softly, wanting to know the answer to his question, I suppose.

"Tired… I guess," my fingers met his own fingers, and I laced them together, pulling his hand off of where my womb resided.

Zero straightened up, albeit after pulling down my shirt again. He crossed his arms over his chest, and I noticed right away that he looked rather irritated.

"What is it?"

"That damned father of yours," he snarled, his nails digging into the flesh of his arm, "is a fucking prick."

My eyes widened, not understanding why he had said something so rude to my father. I was about to get up him over it, but…

"He planned all this."

I gaped at my mate, my eyes probably becoming even more so wider as my jaw hit the ground, "N—Nani?"

"I've sorted it all out with him… and he seems fine with it, seeing as he did plan it. He knew you were pregnant when I took you to him, to see where he wanted you to stay for the night. He could sense our child, as I knew he might have. And then there's Kuran…" he paused, loosening his arms and keeping them by his sides, "He seems… rather unimpressed. I didn't say anything to him, and he didn't comment, but I knew he was pissed about it," Zero laughed, "though, he can't do anything about it, anyways."

I had to know.

"What about school?"

Zero sighed and leaned against the doorframe, "Everything's fine with that. The old bastard is going to give you lessons of your own, in other words, you're being home-schooled. He also hinted that I need to get a job outside of school, to support you and our child, but he did say himself that he would provide for the three of us, anyways. Though, I should be able to gain more money when I leave school, seeing as I'll be a full-fledged hunter… and we get good pay for that," the vampire answered, not leaving out any detail it seemed.

However, the next thing he said was what made me feel extremely guilty, "However, I can leave school and gain more money that way. Then, eventually, we'll be able to live on our own, with the baby."

"Eh?"

Zero tilted his head, looking innocent and not understanding what was wrong, "You're unhappy about this situation?"

"No… definitely not," I paused and watched him before closing my eyes, "I just… didn't expect you to drop out of school," I rested my hand against my stomach, "even for something like this."

The vampire became extremely serious, staring me right in the eye, and then placing his hand over my own, right over our growing baby, "I'd do anything for you, and our child."

I smiled brightly at his confession.

"Hey… Zero?"

My smile vanished, as my gaze became a thoughtful one.

His expression became a little sombre as he regarded me, "Yeah?"

"Will we be… okay?"

He knew what I was meaning by that question; would we be okay in a situation like this? Would we be able to cope with a child, for Pete's sake?

He didn't hesitate on the matter, "Yeah."

I paused before saying my next piece, "I love you."

Almost instantly, he was kissing me, albeit with nowhere near the same amount of passion as the night before, but it still made me swoon like a loved idiot. (which I was).

"I love you too," his voice was gruff, and he was watching me with a peaceful smile on his lips.

With that, I really did know that Zero and I would be fine.

.

.

Five years had passed since those days. Zero and I were living in a small house outside the academy. I wanted to stay near my obnoxious father, and to also keep in touch with the school. I was one of the counsellors there, and I dealt with vampires as well. Long story short, I was close to a lot of the kids in the school, and that made me rather happy.

My cinnamon eyes fell onto our two twins; Akihiko and Hisoka. The two boys were playing together in the loungeroom on a gaming console. They were playing some sort of fighting game, and it was obvious to see that Akihiko was winning the game over Hisoka. Akihiko was extremely a lot like Zero, but he was even more grumpier. Hisoka, on the other hand, was a cheerful little kid and got along with everyone. He was also extremely kind.

Akihiko was a carbon copy of his father, other than the lengthy hair. It fell over the middle of his back, and was kept in a low pony-tail that fell into his lilac eyes.

Hisoka, on the other hand, was a brown-haired boy with my eyes. His length was about the same as Zero's, and he made it clear that he didn't want his hair to get any longer, nor did he want to look like his elder twin.

I made my way into the living room, deciding to remind them that, "Papa's home tonight."

Akihiko didn't bother to look at me, only nodding once. Hisoka, on the other hand, laughed and patted his brother's head, only to get a swipe from the silver-haired boy. Hisoka was playful as always, and enjoyed playing around with his stern brother, of course, Akihiko didn't appreciate it, and would often decide to get back at his younger twin. It was just the way these two were.

"That's good," Hisoka said, nodding his head, and grinning happily.

I giggled at my younger son's behaviour, and moved closer to ruffle his hair. I did the same to Akihiko, and he promptly ignored me, making me laugh even more.

"What's so funny?"

The voice was from behind, and I knew already who it was. I turned my head and smiled, before making my way to my vampire mate. He dropped his backs, and I noticed that he looked extremely tired from some mission he had just been on. He reached for me, pulling me into his arms. The vampire kissed me, in a very, very sweet way.

The boys did not see—thank goodness, but Zero made it clear for what he wanted, making a swift grab for my butt, causing me to squeal, and this time, for the boys to look our way. They stared at us, all they could see was two normal parents that were just seeing each-other again. Akihiko looked unimpressed and went back to button-jabbing on the PS5.

Zero looked at his sons, still holding onto my waist, "Hiko, Soka," he called, "Come here."

I loved how he nicknamed our sons like that, and it just made me grin when I first heard my husband call them like that.

He then glanced at me for a moment, "What was so funny, earlier?"

"Oh, the boys," I said, nodding my head and beaming at him.

Hisoka was already near us, wanting to hug his papa, but Akihiko was still wandering over. His hands were shoved far into his pockets, and he was scowling more than usual. I knew he was happy for his father to be home, but he just always acted cold. It was just the way he acted, but I knew he loved his father.

Zero allowed his arm to fall, and reached down to lift Hisoka into his arms, and rested the child on his shoulder. Hisoka hugged his father, giggling at being lifted so high. He pointed at his elder brother (who looked even more stormier then before) and started teasing him.

Of course, Akihiko reacted by telling him to be quiet, as he greeted his father softly and stalked back into the living room. I could tell that the silver-haired twin would be more painful to raise then his cheerful brother. That's just what I thought about it. Of course, Zero knew this true, but did not punish Akihiko for having his attitude like that. It was literally just the way the kid was. We knew he did not mean anything bad by it, but it was still a bit painful in a way.

I watched Hisoka grin, allowing his fangs to be shown. Zero and I had been worried that they would face the same fate that he had, but thank goodness, the two boys were of C-class. Zero, from what Kaname had said, had no chance of falling to level-E if I continue allowing him access to my blood. Of course, Zero and I would have kept on having those intimate bites, but we just wanted to be sure about it. Zero didn't want to lose control one day, and turn on me. With level-E vampires, they did not even recognise their mates, which made Zero rather detached when he came to the revelation that he could hurt me—or at least, that's what he had thought.

Zero and I had gotten married, pretty much after I was legally able to (seeing as he was older than I was). We had a small ceremony, only with the people we cared about. So, really, it was a small reception. But our honeymoon had to have been the best… we got to stay in a small cottage, just outside the city. It was beautiful there, right beside a lake that we were able to swim in. We even made love a few times in the lake. It was a wonderful experience to have with Zero.

I allowed myself to gain a mischevious smile on my face, "Zero…" I moaned softly, soft enough for Hisoka to not even hear, but Zero sure as hell did.

His eyes fell onto me, before allowing a sexy smirk to grace his lips, "Heh."

What?

He had been away at work for a long time, and I had missed him so much. And Zero had as well, I could tell by the way he watched me. It was just a ritual that we seemingly had every time he came home. Of course, we had responsibilities, but if we could, I'm sure we'd be locked in the bed for a few days after he got home from his missions.

"Mama really missed you, Papa," Hisoka said as he hopped off his father's shoulder, landing gracefully on his feet, much like how only a vampire could.

"Oh, did she?" the vampire beside me chuckled, looking at me in complete and utter amusement.

"Yep," the little boy answered, grinning happily.

Zero's eyes fell onto Akihiko who was still playing on the console, "I might play with you guys on that, later."

Hisoka clapped his hands, hugged his papa one more time, and ran off to play with Akihiko.

The silver-haired vampire leaned close to me, closing his beautiful eyes, and telling me that he loved me so much. I closed my own, and leaned into him as well. His arms were wrapped into my waist, pushing me towards him as he dropped his head, and licked at the scar that had reminded on my neck from his bite five years ago.

"I love you," I whispered, feeling him move his lips to my jaw.

He nodded his head, and murmured his own "I love you" back.

… Life really was perfect.

Done and dusted. Well, I hope you like this version of the story I wrote a year ago. Though, mind you, I hate writing in first person, so this was quite a task on its own. ALSO, I am planning to do a ZeKi fic later on, and Akihiko will be a part of that. However, it has nothing to do with this universe that I had created. I hope you guys can't wait for that, because I can't wait to start writing it.

Well, I hope you guys enjoyed this (long) one-shot, as much as I got annoyed at writing it (first person, I tell you)!
