A/N: Please read and review. No flames unless you are going to make s'mores. Criticism
is always welcome. This whole story is written in normal pov. This is a one shot. My plot bunnies are so mean that they make even me cry, but I did have one that was merciful enough to allow for an alternate ending. BabyDancer did beta editing.
Warning: This story is OC'ness . If you're not into yaoi or male/male sexual
relationships, please don't read any further. This has a dark ending, but an alternative will
be posted as another chapter. If you don't like to see our two boys suffer, then I suggest
you skip the dark ending when prompted and read the next chapter.
Disclaimer: I don't own VK, or the characters. My plot bunnies own this story and loves
borrowing Kaname and Zero for their stories. I own nothing but my plot bunnies. All
honor for the original story and characters goes to Hino-Sama, bless her wonderful and
creative heart.
Summery: Zero is in a coma after a mission mishap, and Kaname is left wondering why
his beloved won't wake up. What will happen to our two boys?
The love of a Pureblood
Kaname was sitting by their bed, worried, staring at the hunter, his beloved mate, his
Zero, lying on their bed unmoving. The last hunters' mission was supposed to be a
simple, easy mission. Four or five hunters sent to the woods to exterminate about ten to
fifteen level E's. The information in the report was wrong. Those ten to fifteen, E's, turned out
to be over forty. Before they knew what was going on, the nest of E's descended on them
and the hunters were in a fight for their lives.
Back at home, Kaname was in the middle of reading a report from one of his smaller
companies, when he felt trouble in his bond with Zero, and he knew Zero was in serious
danger. He got up from his desk and left his home to find his love. He flew to Zero,
following the bond in the form of bats. He found Zero, and reformed his body. Right
before his eyes, Zero was surrounded with E's, and the smell of his blood was heavy in
the air.
Kaname quickly made dust piles of those filthy creatures and started running towards
Zero, but before he reached him, Zero collapse to the ground. "Zero!" he yelled. He
realized, that Zero was in a desperate need of blood, but Zero had lost consciousness.
Kaname bit his wrist and held it over Zero mouth. Problem was Zero wasn't swallowing.
Wanting to kick himself for the idiot he was, he used his powers to force Zero to
swallow. Kaname is frantic in his efforts to keep Zero alive, having felt him on the brink
of death. Minutes pass, but the only change in Zero is that his body was stabilizing.
When he was sure Zero wouldn't die, Kaname took him home. He bathed Zero and put
him to bed. It seemed that to Kaname, everything would be alright, so he left the
bedroom long enough to head down stairs to his office to call the acting Presidents, Cross
and Yagari, to inform them of what happened with the mission, the missing hunters, and
Zero's condition. When he was finished, he went to the kitchen for a glass of water and
for blood tables. He had to give Zero a lot of his blood to keep him alive, so he dumped
four into his glass of water. When he was done, he went to bed, thinking of what he
would do to his hunter when he woke-up in the morning.
Now, two months later, waiting for the doctor to come to the house for Zero's weekly
check-up. Zero was in a comatose state and no one understands why. Kaname is at a loss
as to why Zero won't wake up and is powerless to change it.
The door bell rings, but he has servants who will answer the door. It was a few minutes
later, that there was a knock on his bedroom door. Kaname gives the OK for them to
enter, knowing it's the doctor and Yummi, the cook he has recently hired in the last
couple of months. "Kaname-Sama," the doctor said with a bow. "Has there been any
changes in Zero-Sama in the last week?" This question the doctor seems to ask every
week always irritates Kaname. "There has been no change this week and if there had
been, I would have called you over to check-up on him." He said in a cold tone. "Yes, of
course Kaname-Sama, please forgive my impudence." The doctor said with another bow,
before going up to the bed and Zero. Fifteen minutes later, the doctor takes his leave after
reporting nothing has changed, leaving a distraught pureblood holding his beloved mates
hand.
"Why don't you wake up Zero? Why haven't you come back to me? I can't live without
you. If I am to live, you must live. If you die, I will follow. Before you came into my life,
my world was grey and boring, dull and lifeless. When I met you, you brought with you
life, color, and the warmth of the sun. I didn't even know how cold my world was until
you. I refuse to go back to an existence without you. Come back to me…. Please."
Kaname whispers the end in a plead, hoping and praying he would be heard.
~~~(Go to the next chapter for the happy alternate ending if you prefer a happy one)~~~
Month after month, Zero lay on the bed, unmoving, unchanging in an endless sleep.
Kaname has begun to loose hope of Zero ever waking up and his own health in decline.
The mission that had put Zero in this condition was two years ago, and the doctor told
Kaname that as time passes, the likely hood of Zero ever opening his eyes again becomes
less likely.
One night, while Kaname lies in bed sleeping, he dreams of Zero coming to him. All he
sees is his mate and they are surrounded by darkness, an endless void. Zero tells him
how much he loves him and misses him, but the time had come. He had been trying to
wake for too long and his body had given up. He wishes he could stay, but he can't.
Kaname begins to panic, "You can't leave me, you can't die. I can't live without you."
Zero, with sad eyes, begs Kaname to understand, "Kaname, my love, I can't stay. I have
already passed on. I want you to live Kaname, live for me. I will watch over you, will
always be with you, until it's your time to join me. Live for me, please." With that Zero
slowly fades to nothingness, and Kaname screams for him to stay, "NO! DON'T
LEAVE ME! ZEROOOO!" but it was too late. Zero had gone.
The next morning, the doctor came to do his weekly check up on his patient, Zero. When
Yummi knocked on the bedroom door and heard no response, she tried calling out to
Kaname. Still no response, she opened the door, afraid her master would be angry with
her. The doctor followed her inside, just as stepped inside. They both saw the same thing
at the same time. One pile of ash where Zero used to lay, and another pile of ash and
crystals where Kaname had been lying.
