A one-shot. Even though it seems like it's a Kaname x Zero pairing, I assure you it's not. Enjoy~!

Disclaimer: I don't anything that looks familiar to the world of Vampire Knight.


Kaname sat down on the edge of the fountain in Cross Academy. He spread his hands out on both sides of him and took in the night. It was cold. The moon glowed with an eerie and mysterious aura. Kaname breathed in deeply. The air was cool and sweet, slightly moist as well.

"Mmm." A light breeze blew and lifted his hair. "It's a perfect night."

Kaname looked up as a shadow moved past amongst the shade of the trees. He recognised that lanky figure. Zero Kiriyu. Kaname's delicate nose wrinkled slightly. Even that filthy vermin knew it was a good night. The smell of his blood was enough to warn Kaname of his thirst. I'd better protect Yuki, thought Kaname.

Kaname knew that it was not possible for him to find Yuki in a school where there were many short-cuts and hidden paths. He went after Zero as the latter slinked through the darkness. Zero's shadow stopped moving abruptly. However, that did not perturb Kaname who edged closer. As Kaname approached Zero, his hands tightened into hard fists but he relaxed them almost immediately at once.

"Kiriyu-kun, how are you feeling today?" asked Kaname as he stepped in front of Zero.

Zero's hand automatically drew out the Bloody Rose. He aimed the gun at Kaname's heart. His eyes were filled with eerie ecstasy, a vivid expression. His eyebrows contracted. His nostrils flared at the sight of his most hated vampire leader.

"What, Kuran-senpai?" asked Zero rudely.

"Very polite indeed. Why don't you come with me? I have something to discuss with you."

Kaname turned around and started walking off. Zero lowered his gun and trailed after Kaname, keeping a distance of about a mile between them. Kaname walked into the Moon Dorm and went up to his room. He courteously invited Zero in. Zero threw Kaname a dirty look.

"Now what?" asked Zero. "Please make your point fast, Kuran."

Kaname tilted his head to the side, "Kiriyu, do you still feed on Yuki's blood?"

Zero blanched. Kaname's lips tightened. Both were staring at each other – with animosity from one and guilt from the other. Kaname gave a small sigh.

"Her wounds have not recovered yet, Kiriyu. I am holding you responsible for that. You are hurting Yuki. Do you understand?" asked Kaname slowly.

"Heh? Hurting... Yuki?" mouthed Zero.

"Yes. Kiriyu-kun, if you want to survive, drink my blood."

"Wh-a-a-t?"

"I'm serious about this, Kiriyu." Kaname drew his gaze level with Zero's. "My blood is from the strongest vampire bloodline and it will slow down your transformation into a Level E. If you were to die now, Yuki would be grieved very much."

Zero's mouth opened but no sound came out. Kaname bit the tip of his finger and let the blood ooze out and drip onto Zero's lips. Zero's eyes turned a mad red and his neck arched.

Kaname gave a small, cynical laugh. "You know you want it."

Zero's vampire fits started. He took a deep breath and raised his head up. He rested his head in the space between Kaname's shoulder and neck before sinking his teeth into Kaname's flesh. Kaname could feel Zero gripping him tightly as he drank his blood.

"Be grateful to me for this blood, Zero."

Zero drank deeply. "I want more..." he whispered in between gulps.

Zero paused for awhile. He breathed slowly, his head still resting on Kaname's shoulder and his hand still gripping the front of Kaname's shirt and the other, Kaname's hair. He sunk his teeth into Kaname's flesh again.

"More... it's too good..." whispered Zero.

Kaname closed his eyes and listened to the sound of his blood being drawn by Zero. It was that sound that fascinated him. In fact, he realised he liked it. Zero stopped drinking but did not move an inch from his resting place. He gripped Kaname's shirt tighter.

"I never knew it could be this good," whispered Zero into Kaname's ears.

Kaname smiled. Obviously, Zero didn't realize that Yuki had the same kind of blood as him. This made Kaname laugh softly and the arm that was holding Zero to him loosened. Kaname turned Zero around so that he could face the blood-hungry vampire.

"Zero, do you realize that I have the same blood as Yuki?" he asked softly.

Zero nodded. He smiled at Kaname, an earnest and sincere smile. Kaname's eyebrow twitched.

"I love her blood, and now yours."
