"Do it," he whispered through gritted teeth. His hand was firmly wrapping the cold metal of the gun.
"Don't make me," a rather choked voice turned out to pierce the other's determination. The hunter visuvally tightened his grip on his weapon.
It was raining steadily and now it had completely soaked the hunter and it's prey. Water dripped from hair silver and chocolate brown. They had begun the bout in much heat, but now the sticking cold of the rain was ebbing the heat and fire in their bodies.
"I'm warning you, vampire," the hunter spat, his eyes glinting purple with hatred for the entire race and what they had turned him into. The said "vampire" smirked. "I choose to give myself willingly," he said as water slid down his face in streams. His eyes flashed red; the hunter never even breathed harder. " No, I want to take it away when that's the most you don't want to give," the silver- haired hunter replied pulling on the clasp of his high- tech gun. The nozzel extened with a scilencer on it which placed the gun's opening strait on the prey's heart.
If he wanted, the vampire could easily have broken the gun threatning to take his life. His many 'gifts' would help him even killing the hunter in a blink of an eye if he wished. The red in his eyes dimmed as he looked apon his opponent's face. Rain pouring all over and sticking the hair to his scalp, Zero's features stood out even more. The slick giving him a sparkly look. And his eyes that had been avoiding his lately. Now looked at him with rage and a want to end it all. End him.
"So you planned it all along?" he asked as water ran into his mouth. Thunder clapped over head in a loud bang, but nothing changed the look on the hunter's face. He took it as an affermative. "So I guess it was you who ended Takuma and Shiki and Aido and Kain."
"I was doing myself a favor by not doing it myslef. I made your own goons do it," the hunter replied with a little smile. "The day class girls obliged..."
Kaname's (the vampire's) eyes widened. He never knew he would stoop to that level! Suddenly he felt very angry and asked. " So I bet even Yukki was below you dignity...?"
Even before Kaname finished his sentence, a hard cold hand slapped him tight across his face, catching him unawares. Zero had hit him hard as to remind him Yuki would never be hurt by him. Kaname lay on the ground where he'd been thrown by the impact. Zero strode over and pulled the rain-soaked pureblood off the ground by his shirt. Pullin him up barely, he slammed him against a brick wall. The sharp stoned punctured Kuran's wet back and blossomed blood.
The scent of the pureblood's blood instanly changed the colour of Zero's eyes. He felt betrayed."You're one of us now," Kaname said, smiling at him.
"NO! Never!" Zero yelled as he repeatedly punched Kaname. He hated himself, the memories and everything that made him fear for his loved ones. "To you I'm just another level E," he spat and punched Kuran's face hard so his nose bled. The rain washed his wound but Zero was being steadily pulled down by the blood lust. I have to end this now, he scolded himself. He pulled out his gun again, this time directly on Kaname's heart.
" No, you're not," Kaname said, softly. He wasn't just any old level E. Zero was different. He was special. His eyes searched for Zero's again, he punched him instead. "Atleast die in you senses Kuran," he said. "I'm telling you what I know," he knew only one thing now. He realized he missed the moody, grumpy but caring and loving Zero that he had known at Cross Academy. The person standing before him was a full grown monster. "Looks like Yagari never taught you anything of importance." That earned him another slap. Yagari was a tough master, Zero thought, but this royal filth had no right to insult him.
"Kuran, you'll learn never to insult your teachers. Perhaps the nobel houses aren't all that cultured as we were deluded," he said mocking Kaname.
"They are blind," Kaname replied. "But I am not them," he said firmly. "You can ask for anything and I would give it to you readily."
"It's not about give or take Kuran, it's my job to make you suffer an eternity. Yuki was killed by your own uncle," Zero replied.
Inside him, Zero was fighting the joy and love he felt for the aristocrat and the other side his work, his standing and everything else. He had been pulled away from school by his sensei to learn more. He did not know he was being trained to assasinate the Prince of Vampires. He gritted his teeth against the feud within and pushed the gun into the pureblood's chest.
Kaname was fairly sure his own uncle had betrayed him repeatedly to ascend to the throne. Everytime he had been evaded or crushed. This time though, Kaname was totally crushed. With his sister killed by such and his true love hunting for his blood, made him think death would be freeing. On seeing Zero he had been over joyed, remembering their first and last kiss that had kept him alive and fighting for but something about Zero had terribly changed. He avoided Kaname's eyes, barely talked to him, at times ignored him completely. He was ripped, but he kept the pain to himself. Perhaps Zero remebered nothing, he consoled himself.
Unconsiously, Zero lowered his head and tears began spilling out of his eyes. He hadn't been this close to Kaname in years. His warmth near him and his silken voice were melting all his resolves of wanting to kill him. Kaname smelled salt in the air even when it was raining so hard. He wondered where it came from untill he saw the hunter's shoulders shaking with heavy sobs. He felt worried and wondered what to do. He slowly lifted his arms and wrapped them tightly around the weeping hunter.
Zero dropped the gun and hugged Kaname tightly, burying his face in Kaname's chest. Breathing in his familiar Cinnamon scent, he calmed a little. Slowly he pulled out of the hug and Kaname tipped his head up to look at him.
For a few seconds they were transfixed by each other's beauty, marvelling it. But held back passion overflowed and burst through the flood-walls as the two lovers met in a kiss. They literally ate eachother- wanting to grasp everything that was their love.
When Kaname came up for breath, Zero saw tears in his eyes. "Why you crying?" he asked hoarsly. Kaname blushed. "No," he said. "It's the rain."
