Long awaited (nearly a year! I'm sorry!) Here is the sequel to Chocolate Wine and Moonlit Lavender! -applause- XD I hope that people enjoy this as much as they seemed to enjoy the first story. This is picking up the morning after events in CWML. READ THAT ONE FIRST, THIS WILL NOT WORK AS A STANDALONE! This is also not going to be a long story, but it will be longer than the first.

Chapter One: Waking Up
Kaname opened his eyes, dreading seeing the hunter laying next to him. The spot next to the vampire was cold. Kaname sat up quickly and looked around. Zero's clothes were gone. He'd left early. Kaname sighed and ran a frustrated hand through his tousled hair.
He stood up from the bed and trudged to the bathroom.

Zero was sitting on his bed, muttering in anger. He had bruises on his face. Since he'd left the moon dormitory, he'd been berating himself and hurting himself. He looked out the window, thinking of what had transpired between himself and the filthy pureblood.
He stood and slammed himself into the wall. He leaned against the wall and groaned. He let his body go slack and he thudded to the floor, his skull cracking on the wood. He felt fuzzy, like he was going to pass out. He saw warm black blocking the edge of his vision and feet running towards him. It was Yuki.
"Zero!"
She knelt down by the silver haired being, hands on his chest. He was looking into her eyes, but he wasn't really seeing.
"Zero, can you hear me?"
He felt his head roll on her lap as she moved him.
"What happened?!"
He closed his eyes, fighting consciousness.
.
.

When he awoke, he was laying on his bed, three sets of eyes watching him intently. Headmaster Cross, Kaname, and Yuki. He opened his eyes, and immediately locked his gaze on the pureblood.
"...get out.."
They couldn't hear him, as his voice was nearly inaudible.
"Zero?" It was Yuki.
He looked at her. "Get him out of here."
"What?"
They didn't understand why he was getting aggressive.
"Get the fuck out of my room!"
He shoved off of the bed and fell against the wall. Kaname tried to move towards him, to help steady him, but Zero screamed again. He slid down the wall and sat in the corner of the room, looking dangerously like a caged animal.
"Kaname, you'd better go."
He said nothing. He simply turned and walked gracefully from the room. Zero stayed in the corner, watching carefully until the door closed behind the elegant pureblood.
"Zero," Yuki sat in front of him, "will you get back in bed please?"
He shook his head. She sighed and turned to look and headmaster. He shrugged, not sure of how to deal with the angry teen.
"Just leave. This has nothing to do with you. I don't want you to be here, I need to figure this out alone."
"Zero, who the hell are you kidding?! You are in no condition to be alone. I'm not leaving you."
Zero let out an exasperated groan. "Yuki please? I don't want you to see me like this."
She glared, and he knew it was a lost cause. She wasn't going anywhere and he was going to have to get used to it, whether he liked it or not.
"Now, Zero, don't make me get all mother hen on you."
Knowing exactly what she meant, he dragged himself to the bed and sat on the edge. She walked over to him and pushed his shoulders back, making him lay down. He closed his eyes to the inevitable fussing and fell asleep again.

Kaname was walking along the top edge of the wall. He was barefoot and had removed his heavy suit jacket, letting the slight breeze run through the thin black material. The stones were cold and sharp against the soft pads of his feet.
"Why was he so mad?" He stopped and looked up into the cloudy sky. The moon wasn't even shining through the clouds, not a star was to be seen. The sky was an empty confusing mess, much like the contents of Kaname's mind. He heard a distant rumble, seeing the coming storm. He stayed where he stood, waiting for the rain to come and wash away the false feelings that he had.
Within a few moments, a sheet of rain was raging towards him. As the rain slowly soaked into his hair and clothes, he simply looked into the sky. His chocolate hair was plastered to his face. The rain began to come down harder, but still he stayed, standing barefoot on the wall.
"Kaname? What on earth are you doing?"
The vampire snapped out of his reverie and looked to the ground to see the headmaster staring up at him.
"Enjoying the storm."
"Come down here, Kaname."
The vampire sighed and sat before jumping lithely to the ground. Headmaster Cross was holding Kaname's shoes and jacket.
"Let's get you inside."
The look he gave Kaname said that there would be no argument that would get him to leave the pureblood alone. They walked in silence towards the Moon Dormitory, the lightning crashing once again.

Yuki sat in the chair beside Zero. He looked awful. Bruises covered his torso, arms, face and neck. He was sleeping fitfully on the bed, tossing and mumbling something she couldn't understand. She was skimming a magazine, not really paying attention to the words, wishing that Zero would wake up and tell her what had happened.
As the sun rose on the grounds of Cross Academy, Zero cried out for someone who wasn't there.
Long awaited, the sequel has officially begun. Tell me your thoughts on the start? :)
