Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight, only my oc (for some reason I can't help but put in an oc in my fanfictions)
A/N: Please excuse any mistakes. It's been awhile since i watched/read VK, so this fanfic will be different than the book/show.
Warnings: SLASH/YAOI
Pairings: undecided
Raiden is Zero and Ichiru's childhood friend. He was like their twin/triplet (if that makes sense) and the two are the only ones alive who know of his dark past. Raiden wasn't there the night the Kiryuu's were killed, but had arrived afterward to find the house in ruins and his two siblings in everything but blood gone and the two people he looked up to as parents dead. He spent a year grieving and controlling his inner demon that wished to come out and get revenge. After that, he tried to catch Zero or Ichiru's scent, since he knows they are alive due to a Pack Bond he formed with them (though it's very weak now). He catches Zero's scent in the town not far from Cross Academy and follows it, hoping that he'll finally be reunited with his lost brothers.
Chapter one
Raiden sniffed the air once again as he approached the large gate in front of him. He could smell Zero, the scent only a few hours old, coming from just passed the gate to Cross Academy. Even after all these years, he would recognized his brother's natural scent anywhere, even if it was a bit different. Grinning, he crouched down and leapt into the air, flipping over the gate with ease. He landed on his feet soundlessly and looked around, inspecting the deserted area around him. Screams suddenly echoed through the air and he tensed, right hand shooting under the back of his jacket to rest on the hilt of his hidden dagger. He calmed almost immediately when he realized the screams were of excitement, not fear or pain. Curiosity getting the best of him, he headed in the directions the screams were coming from, combat boots making almost no noise against the pavement.
Raiden blinked. Then blinked again as he stared at the people who could only be classified as fangirls, and boys. They were all staring at a group of beautiful students in white uniforms. Vampires, Raiden's mind supplied as he took a deep breath. His eyes widened as a familiar scent hit him, making him step out of the shadows and he move so he was staring down the path, the vampires pausing as he stepped into their line of vision. His eyes locked on a head of silver hair he'd know anywhere.
"I finally found you!" he cheered, beaming as he fought the urge to dance in happiness.
Everyone quieted and looked at him, the vampires tensing. Zero's eyebrows furrowed, confusion filling him as a sense of warmth flowed through him, a sense of family. He hadn't felt that since before the attack on his family and betrayal of his brother. He eyed the boy with shoulder length inky black hair that shined green in the sunlight, bright amber eyes, and tan skin. He wore a pair of ripped black jeans, combat boots, a fitted green tee-shirt, and a black trench coat. On his hands were black fingerless gloves and aroung his neck was a dark emerald-green choker with an amethyst pendant on it. There was a scar on his face, one that crossed over his right eye. The boy suddenly pouted, a sad look in his eyes.
"Don't you remember me, Zero-nii?" he asked.
Everyone turned to Zero with surprise. Yuuki's eyes widened, her jaw dropping, and the vampires stared with barely hidden disbelief and shock. Zero himself felt surprise mixed with happiness flow through him.
"Raiden? Is that you?" he questioned, turning to face the newcomer completely.
He smirked. "In the flesh, Zero-chan."
Zero ran towards him and snatched him up in his arms, making him yelp in surprise, and hugged him tightly. Raiden hugged him back just as tightly, tears in his eyes. He missed this, the hugs and feeling of Pack. Hugging Zero felt like coming home.
"I've been searching for you for years. You and Ichi-chan." he whispered.
Zero tensed at the mention of his twin brother.
Raiden looked up at him with concern, loosening his hold slightly. "Zero?"
"I'll explain later. Promise."
Raiden nodded, pulling away completely. "You bet-" he froze.
Zero frowned with concern. "Rai? What's wrong?" He winced slightly when he felt the barely controlled rage flowing through the Pack Bond from his best friend and brother.
Raiden's eyes narrowed, the amber orbs glued to the tattoo on Zero's neck. "Who was it?" he growled, eyes flashing silver (fortunately only Zero noticed).
Realization filled the silverette and he swallowed nervously. "Rai-"
"Who was it Zero? Which pure blood dared to bite you?"
Zero winced again. Raiden was beyond pissed. "This isn't the place for this conversation."
Raiden reluctantly nodded and took a deep breath. "I'm calm. For the moment." he stated, nerves relaxing as the scent of family and home filled his senses.
Zero sighed in relief and turned to the vampires, who were watching with curious eyes. "Get to class." he ordered.
Hesitance to listen to the orders were clear as they continued on their way to the school building. The moment they entered the school, Raiden grabbed Zero's wrist and dragged him into the trees, stopping once they reached the lake. Raiden released Zero's wrist and stared unseeingly at the water, Zero watching him warily. A few minutes of silence passed between them before the youngest broke it.
"It was Shizuka Hiou."
Raiden jerked out of his thoughts and turned to face his brother. "Shizuka? How did she find you?"
"She found Ichiru first. He betrayed us, Rai. He lead her to our home that night."
Raiden's eyes widened, before he snarled viciously. "I'll destroy that bitch for breaking our family!"
Zero put a comforting hand on Raiden's shoulder. "The time will come, Rai."
Raiden nodded. "... Your blood thirst? How bad is it?"
Zero shifted uncomfortably. "Depends. Yuuki allows me to drink from her sometimes. Why?"
"A pure blood bit you, Zero. You're turning into something I know you fear of becoming."
Zero smiled sadly. "Yes, well nothing can change that now, huh?"
Raiden hesitated. "There might be one way, but I don't think you'd like it."
The silverette eyed him. "Tell me."
"... I turn you..." was said after a moment of silence.
