Chapter 2
Aidou was not pouting. No. He definitely was not. Just because Lord Kaname had made him throw away his priceless treasures, and then ditched him did not mean that Aidou was sitting in the corner of his and Kain's room pouting. Nope….but….did Lord Kaname really think he was creepy? Aidou mumbled to himself about how that was impossible. Maybe he should explain to Lord Kaname why he had a room full of destroyed items.
Kain rolled his eyes at his cousin. Aidou had spent nearly an hour complaining to him about how he didn't know why Lord Kaname was upset with him. It was only after Kain told Aidou that Lord Kaname was probably creeped out by his so called "treasures" that he went to the corner of the room and started mumbling to himself. Kain sighed. He supposed it was his fault. He should have known how Aidou would react hearing that his beloved Lord Kaname thought less of him.
Kain almost felt bad. Aidou worshipped Lord Kaname, so hearing that Lord Kaname was upset with him was just plain devastating. Kain ran a hand through his hair. I guess I should try to fix this.
Aidou stood up abruptly causing Kain to jump from the sudden change. Aidou's bangs covered his eyes, and a small smile was on his lips. Kain got a really bad feeling. And then it happened. Aidou looked at him with that smirk…crap…it was that smirk. The smirk that usually meant Aidou was about to do something foolish and get not only himself in trouble, but Kain as well. Kain groaned.
"Hanabusa. You have that look again." Aidou's smirk widened.
"Akatsuki, I have the most brilliant plan to get back in Lord Kaname's favor!" Kain put his hands on his face and fell back onto his bed.
"You are going to get us in trouble again, aren't you? Keep this up and we will both be out of his favor, and kicked out of the Moon dorms."
"No, no, no ,no ,no! This one is different! It is a foolproof plan that absolutely cannot fail!" Aidou grinned.
"You say that every time"
"But I am serious this time! This plan really will work!"
"Then you should do this one all by yourself." Kain grumbled. Aidou scowled at him.
"Fine! I will!" Aidou stomped.

Takuma looked up at Aidou incredulously. Aidou had barged into Takuma's room, and found Takuma lying on the floor reading manga. Aidou then demanded that Takuma tell him where Lord Kaname was at.
Takuma hesitated.
"He went to the Chairman's house to discuss something with him. Why?" Aidou said nothing, and left the room. Takuma's eyes widened with realization. Oh no. Lord Kaname, I'm sorry. I think I just said something I shouldn't have.
~XxXxXxXxXx(Line Break)xXxXxXxXxX~
Kaname was sitting at the chairman's desk going through some last minute paperwork. The only reason he hadn't already finished it was because a certain blonde, ice-wielding menace hadn't allow him to concentrate for more than 5 minutes at a time. Aidou would need to be taken care of soon. Kaname didn't know how much longer he could put up with Aidou following him around everywhere.
He sighed, and rubbed his temples. Aidou seriously needed to get a clue.
Kaname looked at the door when he heard the footsteps. Someone was headed to the Cross's office in a hurry. Kaname vaguely wondered who would be in such a hurry to see the Chairman.
Kaname was slightly surprised to find it was Cross who had burst in. Cross looked like he just ran a full marathon and won. Kaname remained emotionless as he took in the Chairman's state. His clothes were slightly dirty and rumpled, his hair was loose from its usual tie, and he was smiling like the fool he was. After Kaname did take in the sight, he noticed, what was most likely the cause of his disheveled state, in his arms.
There was a small child around the age of 6 or 7 was squirming around in Cross's arms. Kaname's eyes widened and he stiffened slightly when the child's eyes made contact with his own. Yuki. The child was around the same age as Yuki had been before she was…kidnapped. Those eyes that held such innocence and warm curiosity, for a moment, had Kaname believe that his sister was alive and right in front of him. Kaname was snapped out of his reverie when Cross finally caught his breath.
"Kana-chan~! Look what I found all alone on a deserted street! Such a cute baby boy!" The child, who had realized that he had stopped struggling in order to stare at the tall mysterious man, renewed his efforts with vigor. Kaname blinked. No. This wasn't Yuki. Not even close. This boy was the complete opposite of Yuki. The boy had unique silver hair with pure lavender eyes, and pale skin. His Yuki had chocolate brown hair much like his own, with dark brown eyes to match, and her skin was a light tan. The only physical similarities between the boy and his sister were the small pudgy cheeks, the small height, and possibly the large innocent eyes (not including the colors). Kaname straightened himself up, and looked at Cross, who was struggling to keep his grip on the little boy.
"Kidnapping is against the law, Cross." Kaname deadpanned. Cross froze before he burst into a dramatic flood of tears.
"Kana-chan! How cruel! You really think of me so low as to kidnap a child! I found him! He was unconscious, and I thought that it would be best to bring him with me! All I wanted to do was protect this poor defenseless child from the nasty bad guys out there in the world!" Cross sobbed and sank to the floor. The silver haired boy, clearly frightened by the sudden dramatic outburst, scrambled out of Cross's now limp arms, and headed straight for under the desk.
Kaname sighed.
"I apologize for assuming, Cross-san." And just like that Cross's tears dried up, and a huge smile popped up on his face.
"That's all right. Now…", Cross crouched in front of the desk, and peered underneath, "What is your name, little one?"
The boy just looked at Cross with a small frown on his pudgy face. Cross pouted, and Kaname sighed…again.
"Cross, let me." Cross moved away to give Kaname room.
"Awwww, Kana-chan~. Are you getting a soft spot for him already~?" Kaname's eyes narrowed a fraction, and he gave Cross a dark look. Cross immediately put his hands up in surrender, and gave a nervous smile.
Kaname crouched in front of the desk, and looked directly into the small boy's eyes.
"It's alright. Cross just gets excited easily. My name is Kaname. We aren't going to hurt you. " Kaname offered his hand. The boy looked at his hand, and hesitantly put his hand in Kaname's. Cross smiled at the scene. The boy crawled out from underneath the desk, and Kaname guided the boy to the couch.
"What is your name?" Kaname asked.
"…Zero"
"Where are your parents, Zero?" Zero looked at is feet. His eyes started watering.
"I…I don't know…" Cross came over to the couch, and patted Zero's head lightly.
"It's ok. Where do you live?" Zero's lower lip trembled, and the tears were on the verge of falling.
"I..d-don't know…" Zero sobbed.
"Well, what do you remember?" Kaname asked while Cross wiped the tears that had finally spilled over and down the boy's cheeks.
"I remember my name is Zero….b-but I don't remember a-anything else." Zero sniffed. Cross looked at Kaname, and then back at Zero.
"It's ok, Zero-chan! You can stay here with us until you remember."
"Cross." Kaname said warningly.
"You can stay with Kaname for now! He has so~ much space in his room! You will really like it!"
"Cross!"
"Yes, that way someone will always be with you, and watching over you." Kaname sighed. Cross was not going to budge on this. He was going to be forced to babysit Zero, and deal with Aidou.
"And from now on, Zero, call me Daddy!"
This was going to be a long night.
A/N: Again I apologize for any errors. I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I am making the story up as I go along, but I have a vague idea as to where it is going. So I probably will not be updating steadily, but please bear with me. I will update with the next chapter as soon as I can. Please review! :D
