Due to popular demand here is the next chapter for Tainted Blood. I hope you like it as much as the last chapter even though this is mainly going to be fluff. Enjoy and review. Reviewing is like crack to me and the more something is reviewed the more likely I am to update it sooner.

Zero stood, like at the firing range about to be shot. It was twilight so the lights were dim and so durable for vampire eyes. He stood before the mass of vampires whom he had hated for so long, with Kaname standing by his side. Most of them looked sleepy, the others looked pissed. "Why did you call us out here so early Kuran? I why is that scumbag with you?" Aidou growled.

"This scumbag," Kaname said with his same level voice. "Is a fully fledged vampire now. He's a new born so it will take him a little to get control of his powers."

Ichijo stepped forward with a small bow. "Lord Kuran, it would be an honor to teach Kiryu the ways of a vampire."

"Thank you Takuma, but that won't be necessary." Everyone looked surprised. Usually Kuran gave a lot of the work to Ichijo. "I will take it upon myself to teach him."

Zero looked disgusted. "You?!"

"Yes me." Kaname said in the still calm voice. "I am the oldest among us and the most experienced. Plus I know you better than the rest. "This made Zero snort. "And, unlike all of them, if you try to attack me I am more than a match for you." He tilted his head to the side of Zero's jacket. "Even with your gun."

Feeling a little weird about being called out about carrying Bloody Rose Zero didn't argue further. It was true, if Zero decided to attack someone Kuran was the only person who could stop him. "When does my training begin?" He asked humbly but still ticked off.

"Tonight."

Later that night while everyone was "working" in class Kaname had his own type of lesson for Zero. "Grip the balloons without letting them pop."

"This is stupid." Zero retorted. "Anyone could do this!"

"Then do it." Kaname challenged. Scoffing, Zero took one of the small balloons and squeezed gently. It popped. Scowling Zero picked up another one, same result. Kaname sat back in his chair and watched with the smallest of smirks on his face. Zero hated it, but he wasn't one to give up. He kept squeezing and popping balloons till there were none left.

"Damn it!" Zero cursed to the sky. A couple of the other vampires looked over at him. He gripped the table which broke. "I should be able to do this!"

Kaname gave him a sympathetic look. "It's hard the first 20 years or so, but you'll get it." Zero could feel the blood rushing through Kaname's hands and he shook him away. "It'll get easier. Just keep practicing." The way he was talking was like he was talking to a toddler, Zero didn't like it.

"Get me more balloons, Damn it!" He continued to try to squeeze a balloon without popping it all night, till they were told to go back to the dorm. Zero was exhausted. If any of the other vampires were tired they weren't showing it.

Once back at the Moon Dorm Kaname turned to Ichijo. "Please take Zero to his room."

Ichijo bowed and turned to Zero with a smile. "Please follow me." As he followed Zero wondered if he had ever seen Ichijo without a smile on his face. He wondered then if it was genuine or forced. "Here is your room. Feel free to wander if you'd like, but please try not to start any trouble."

Zero nodded as Ichijo left the room. The room was easily four times bigger than his bedroom in the Sun Dorm. There was a king sized four-poster bed all decked out with blue sheets and a white and blue comforter. There was also a blue love seat. The floors were wood and the walls had a light blue wallpaper with an intricate deign. Overall the room was blue, so Zero would call it the blue room.

Exhaustion hitting him, Zero got undressed down to his boxers and climbed into bed. He wondered if vampires dreamed, and what they dreamed about.

There was a drip on his forehead. It woke Zero from his slumber. He quickly realized he couldn't move. Panic rose up inside him. He looked around. He was on a bed with blinding white sheets and blanket, the room also was white and didn't appear to have any doors or windows.

Panic still rising, again something wet hit his face, this time his cheek. She couldn't see what it was, but he could smell. "Blood?" As he said the word more and more droplets fell onto the bed, soaking the white with crimson. He tried to move yet again, but he was stuck to the bed. More droplets came down, soaking not just the bed but himself as well.

Suddenly he could move. He rushed out of the bed which was a mistake. His legs couldn't support him and he fell to the ground. When he looked up he saw Yuki standing before him. She had her hand up to her mouth and a look of sheer terror on her face. "You're a monster!" She cried then ran away. Zero tried to call her back but he found he couldn't speak. He looked up again and saw Headmaster Cross. He looked disappointed. "You are no longer my son." He said before fading away too.

Zero punched the white floor leaving a dent and a lot of blood splatters. He looked up one last time and was really confused. Kaname Kuran stood before him, looking down at him. "Wake up." He said holding out a hand. "This will all be over if you just wake up." Still confused Zero took Kaname's hand.

Waking up in the blue room was such a relief. He was sitting up, his hand in Kaname's. "What do you want Kuran?" Zero spat.

"Well that's a nice thank you for waking you out of that horrid dream." Kaname said with just the smallest hint of hurt in his voice. It was gone when he next spoke however. "I had a feeling that you would have a hard first night here. So I came to console you."

"Console me?" Zero hissed.

Kaname nodded. "I thought you could also use a pick me up." It was then, and only then that Zero realized that Kaname wasn't wearing a shirt. The blood pulsing in his veins was calling to him. Kaname held his hand out to him like he had in the dream, and like in the dream he took it.

Zero found himself pulled on top of Kaname so that he was straddling him. He didn't really mind. He leaned in an licked the spot before he bit into it. Kaname made a noise but Zero didn't notice. He was too enthralled with the taste of the blood. It was sweeter now than it had been before.

Like before it was Kaname that pushed him away. "Goodnight." He said abruptly and left. Zero was left whipping blood off of his chin.
