I DECIDED TO DO MORE ABOUT THIS STORY...SO YEAH...STAY TUNED IF YOU'RE READING! BASED ON BOA'S SONG "EAT YOU UP" I WORSHIP THAT SONG!

I'll Eat You Up-by PS

So Yum-Yum~

The taste of Kaname's blood sat heavily as Zero pulled away from the taller man, gasping for air so as to quell the thirst. It didn't help.

He couldn't get enough.

Even if the call of mate and home hadn't called to Zero from the pureblood he probably would have wanted the blood anyway, the delicious ruby life-liquid sticking to his taste buds as he stared at the other male from across his bed.

Kaname held up a hand to his own neck, and, by the time he put it back down again, only a few seconds later, the teeth marks were gone. The pureblood had gotten stronger ever since he had drunk the blood of another of his kind.

Zero glared at him, "why do you make me do this?"

The brunette glance over at him through the curtain of hair that fell in his eyes, "because," he said calmly, "it would not do to have you do. Vampires are weakened if their mates are killed."

Zero felt the blood on his lips drying, "so? You would probably survive without me, you're so powerful." He hated admitting that, hated to say that the other was stronger than him, but, sometimes, the truth was needed.

Kaname smiled gently, "perhaps. But, I'd rather not take that chance. Besides, it would upset Yuki."

Ever since Kaname had revealed that Yuki was his true sister he had used her as an excuse every chance he got. It was quite annoying.

Zero rolled his eyes at the pureblood's comment and pushed himself back against the headboard, his bloody fingers digging into the sheets. Even now, seeing the blood, he began to feel hungry even though Kaname filled his appetite, in ways that he could not explain.

He couldn't get enough.

That one thought kept running through Zero's head, and it disturbed him. He knew that no other person's blood, vampire or human's, would satisfy him like the Kuran's did. It scared him.

Staring at his mate through his eyelashes, Zero guessed that it could be worse. Kaname, at least, had some sense of propriety and didn't demand much of Zero other than his occasional presence and the sharing of blood.

That was something all mated pairs did, sharing blood. The pierce of one's mate's fangs was supposed to be an aphrodisiac, but, Zero had convinced himself that the only thing he felt when Kaname sucked his blood was disgust. But, every time those strong hands gripped his shoulders, holding him so that he couldn't pull away, and those gleaming fangs drove into his pale neck, he felt more.

He wanted Kaname to drink his blood more, so that they could become part of one another, so that Kaname would never be rid of him.

It was a dangerous feeling, but one that he could not shake.

"Have you felt stronger these past few weeks?" Zero almost didn't want to know the answer, but, he had to be sure.

Kaname turned his upper body to face him, "yes. Your presence improves me in more ways than one."

"How?" Zero breathed out the question, shifting so that his thinly muscled arms held onto his upward folded knees.

Kaname followed the motion with his eyes and tightened his jaw, "Takuma says that my mood has improved very much, but I have not noticed very much."

Zero had. So had Yuki, as a matter of fact. Now, when the girls swarmed the Night Class in the afternoon Kaname was even more polite than usual, and was actually civil towards Zero, even when he came face to face to him.

"I also have better control of my newfound powers," the pureblood continued, unaware of Zero's inner thoughts, "it is very helpful."

Zero knew how he had gotten those "newfound powers," but, he didn't like thinking about it. He had wanted to kill the bitch vampire who had turned him, but, if anyone else had been allowed to do it, Zero assumed that it was alright for his mate to be the one. But, he still couldn't get over it.

"Do you regret it?" The question was blurted before he could even think about it, "killing her, I mean."

He didn't even have to specify about who "she" was, Kaname already knew. The brunette stared at him, capturing the amethyst colored eyes with his own.

"No," he said finally, "she was a pawn, and had to be disposed of before she got to powerful. She knew I was going to kill her anyway, she said that one of us was going to kill the other, it seems that she went down first."

"She went down with the ship," Zero muttered under his breath, glancing down at the plain bed comforter.

Kaname tilted his head, "not exactly. Both you and your brother are still here, so, her legacy lives on, in a way."

Zero glared up at him, "I am not her legacy."

Kaname smiled a nearly cruel smile, "perhaps not. But your twin certainly is."

They stared at one another for longer than necessary after that.

"Don't talk about him," Zero said after a while, keeping eye contact, "you don't know anything about him, or me for that matter."

Kaname full-fledged smirked then, "I know everything about you, my Zero. And one day, I'll inhale you."

No, Zero thought to himself as the pureblood stood up, he'll eat me up…
