Thanks For all the reviews. Please Keep them coming.
Chapter Two: Kaname's New Pet
With the moonlight glaring at Kaname he carried the sleeping ex-human back to the Moon Dorms before the other vampires returned from their lessons. Everything had gone according to plan. Well everything but the taste of Zero's blood. He had expected the bitter , almost sour taste of Hunter Blood mixed with the disgusting aftertaste of a Level E. Every vampire knows that hunter blood tasted foul, it was suppose to taste foul to prevent hunter's from becoming targets but Zero's had a certain, well, Zeroness about it. It was sweet and delicious. Even now Kaname could felt an almost overpowering urge to sink his teeth into his throat and allow the unique nectar to excite his taste buds again. The fact with the boy so close to him with his scent taunting Kaname, almost daring him to take another bite.
Kaname did not need to see himself to know that his usual brown eyes had turned a blood red visibly showing his desire to bite the boy. Forcing himself to be in control, Kaname knew he was going to have to be very careful, the boy's blood was too far to tempting for its own good. Lost in these disturbing thoughts Kaname did not notice that Ichijo was waiting for him at the front of the dorms; Ichijo like Kaname had sense the change within Zero and he was worried. He knows that there is no love lost between the two and Zero is the only person who can shatter Kaname's mask. In all the years that Ichijo has know Kaname he has never seen him lose control or express any emotions outwardly before Zero. It was strange really. Twisting his blond hair around his finger nervously, his jade green eyes examine both Kaname and Zero expecting there to be injuries. To his surprise there wasn't .
Kaname met Ichijo glaze with a questioning look as his vice-president smiled.
"Just making sure you have not kill each other." laughed Ichijo but the smile dropped slightly from his face as he noticed Zero's mark. "You marked him?"
"Yes" answered Kaname simply. He was not use to having his decisions questioned and he would not start having them questioned now.
"But Kaname- senpai is that hmmm, well is that.. I mean is that wise?" blurted Ichijo quickly, wincing slightly from knowing how Kaname is likely to react. " I mean this is Zero we talking about here. Hater of all vampires."
Because it was Ichijo that had questioned him Kaname did not lose his temper- it might have been a different matter if it was Aido or someone- but he had grown to respect and listen to Ichijo's opinions.
"Yes Takuma. I believe it's the best action for his protection and mine."
" Kaname-senpai" Murmured Ichijo respectively. He hesitated slightly before continuing "But what are you going to do with him?"
Kaname did not answer. Instead he smiled slightly as he carried on walking.

Groaning slightly Zero tried to force his uncooperative eyes to open. Where was he now? The last thing he could remember was … Fuck, that fucking vampire and his fang. A strong urge flooded through Zero as he so badly wanted to rip Kuran's fangs out as painfully as possible.
"That filthy bloodsucking-"
"I wouldn't finish that sentence if I were you, E." said the voice that Zero was beginning to hate. Kaname Kuran. Has he got nothing better to do than mess up Zero's life? Glaring at the vampire who was sitting comfortable on a nearby chair and smiling as he destroyed Zero's life . " How do you like your new accommodations?"
With a quick glance Zero took in his surrounding. The room itself was not very big; it had no windows and only one door. There was only a single bed that was pushed against one wall which Zero was currently sitting on. The covers were soft and silky under his fingers but the colour was almost mocking to Zero. A deep red. A constant reminder of what he needs and what he has become. The walls were a dull white and apart from the chair that Kaname was sitting one, watching him closely there was only a long mirror prompted against the wall and small desk in the opposite wall to the bed. It was lonely, small and uninviting. With the lack of natural light it was dark, almost like twilight and cold. For the famous Moon Dorms this room was pitiful.
"This room is like you Kaname, cold and unappealing." Snapped Zero as he rubbed his neck when the reality of Kaname's statement hit him. "What do you mean my accommodation?"
"This room is reserved for my servants and such. It connects to my-"
"Newsflash Kuran. I am not your servant and I don't ever plan to be."
"No Kiriyu. You're thinking too highly of yourself. A level E could never be my servant." Chuckled Kuran as his eyes examined every inch of Zero's body with ill hidden lust. "You're my pet."
You're My Pet. Whatever Zero was expecting it was not that. What the hell was Kuran planning? A pet. He knew that vampires kept pets but he never thought that he would be called a vampire's pet, especially Kaname's. He opened his mouth to argue but the shock and surprise silence him. Shaking his head, his eyes glittered with confusion and he tried to figure out what the hell was going on. Smiling slightly Kuran watched with growing interest at Zero's expression and silence. The ex-human has always been a puzzlement to Kaname; his stubbornness and inner strength. Now he found himself watching in excitement at Zero's reaction. He was like a cornered wild animal, desperately trying to escape from a predator's clutches. He would like nothing better than to prove to Zero his new role. He knew he needed restraint, he spend years learning control but after a few seconds in this boy's presence those years meant nothing.
"Go to hell Kuran." snarled Zero as he glared with venomous eyes. " I belong to no-one!"
He pulled himself from the bed and with all the speed he could muster he launch himself towards the door. Vampire speed however was not quick enough for pureblood speed.
Twisting Zero's arm he pulled the ex-human towards him and forced him to face the mirror.
"Look Zero. Look!" snarled Kuran as Zero ignored him and struggled in his arms. Grabbing Zero's chin he forced the boy to look at himself in the mirror. Zero grasped as he noticed a small K on his throat. "This is my mark."
His fingers stroked the mark, sending a shiver down Zero's spine.
"Every part of you belongs to me" whispered Kuran, just above Zero's ear. Zero could feel his breathe on his neck causing the hairs on Zero's neck to stand up. Slowly Kuran slipped his hand inside zero's top and gently ran his fingers across his chest. " No matter where you go or who you turn to this mark will tell them that you belong to me. You can not escape Zero."
"Go to hell" repeated Zero but it lacked his usual venom and his voice shook slightly as fear began to spread through every limbs of Zero's body. Trying to calm himself down Zero took deep breaths but his control disappeared as his eyes met Kaname's in the mirror. Burning inn rage at his small smile Zero smacked his head against Kaname's. Taking him by surprise Kaname loosen his grip but it was only for a second. Cursing Kaname regain his grip on Zero and send him crashing across the room, far away from the door, Rubbing his chin where Zero skull had collide with he hissed and allowed Zero to his red glowing eyes. Zero picked himself before meeting Kaname bloody eyes, ignoring the fear eating away at his inside Zero glared. "I never be your pet Kuran."
Zero prepared himself for the Purebloods next move and shifting his weight so he was able to stand on the balls of his feet to better prepare himself for the next attack. Kuran however laughed at the ex-human's spirit. Did Zero not realise that his fate has already been sealed?
"You'll submit Zero. You'll beg for my attention soon." he smiled as he raised one finger to lips before biting down hard. A small droplet of blood hit the floor. The effects were immediate. Zero felt his body cried out for that blood. His throat began to burn and his breathing quicken. "You'll want my blood."
" I have survived for four years without blood Kuran" smiled Zero. He was sure that this is one victory that he would win over the vampire. "Can you wait that long bloodsucker?"
"Four years? I will give you a week, two at the most. You've tasted blood now Zero and worse my blood, pure blood."
With that Kaname once more allowed his eyes to examine every inch of Zero's body. Zero shifted uncomfortably under the pureblood's glaze. Turning away Kaname slammed the door shut and Zero heard the clicking of the lock. Still on edge until Zero heard his footsteps do farer and farer away and he dropped his fighting stance.
Showing fear for the first time Zero collapsed to his knees. What scared him the most was not that he knew what bloodlust would do to him and make him into to but the look in Kuran's eyes as he examined Zero. The indescribable emotion that seemed to vibrate around him. Lust? Desire? Or something else? Whatever it was it sent shivers down his spine and scared Zero to his very core. Holding his head in his hands Zero felt doomed.
(Line Break)
The torment continued for hours, for days.
Lost in a sea of suffering he was dimly aware that Kuran came and went at will. Countless minutes passed, each one lasting an eternity. From time to time he fainted in an attempt to escape the misery but the blessed darkness never hid him for long. The beast within him always found him and dragged him back, screaming for Zero to go find it blood.
Every now and again Kaname returned to the dimly lit room he asked the same question: "Zero will you submit now?" and every time he returned the same answer "No."
His body screamed for blood. The room was in tatters as Zero had released his anger, desperation and pain on anything and everything. He cut his arms at the desk splintered, leaving the sheets bloodied. His entire body was shaking and his stomach clenched and twisted, demanding blood. Looking at himself in the mirror Zero screamed in frustration as staring back at him was not Zero Kiriyu but a vampire with bloodied eyes. Punching the mirror the smell of blood once again filled the air as Zero crumbled to the floor. His hand ached. Looking once again in the broken mirror, his reflection was cracked and in pieces like Zero himself. The Hunter, the stubborn and pride boy had cracked and splinter like the mirror to reveal this creature, this vampire. He wanted to scream, cry but more than anything he wanted blood.
"Isn't this enough Zero?" whispered Kaname as he entered the room. His voice was gentle and smooth like a mother soothing a sick child. Grabbing the boy harshly and restrained against the floor as Zero gave in to the bloodlust. "You need to feed."
"no" whined Zero. "I-I"
"Zero will you submit?"
"No." repeated Zero but as Kaname dragged his nail against Zero back causing more blood lost. Zero knew he had lost. Shaking slightly, he bow his head and refused to meet Kaname eyes. He knew that he had lost… This time. "Yes."
"Good boy" Kaname praised him as he pulled him closer to him. "Drink,"
Zero needed no more coaxing then that as he sank his fangs into Kuran's offered throat. His senses were immediately knocked to the back of his mind as the first taste of blood tingled his taste buds. Purring slightly as the intoxicating blood smoothed the burning sensation in his throat and stopped the churning of his stomach. Purring deep in his throat, Zero bit down harder at different angle to encourage more blood.
Unlike the first time where Kaname had felt discomfort and pain at Zero's bite this time it sent shiver of excitement down his spine as Zero lapped up his blood. He bit his lip to prevent himself from moaning in undeniable pleasure as Zero's touch. When the boy bit down again harder and more savage it took Kaname all his self-control not to pin the boy down. Stroking the sliver locks Kaname feel disappointed as Zero pulled himself away from Kaname. His eyes had return to their unusual lavender shade. Exhausted from fighting the bloodlust for so long Zero collapsed against Kaname breathing heavily. He detested the closeness of that vampire but his limbs were too heavy and despite himself he felt is eyes begin to close.
"Zero." Kaname gently shook his pet. " You are to do what your told, when you are told. Your belongings are being moved over and you are no longer to see Yuuki or Cross without my permission. Do you understand?"
"I won't ever be obedient Kuran." muttered Zero his eyes growing heavier and heavier. " You think you have broken me Kuran but you haven't."
Kaname did not answer instead he carried the boy towards his bed, removing the bloodied sheets he placed Zero carefully on the bed. "Rest Zero. "
(Line Break)
When Zero woke it was to the absence of pain. The first time in about week that had happen; ever since he become that pureblood's pet. Well thought Zero we see about that wouldn't we. He was no bodies pet, especially some pureblood. The night class uniform was one his desk and Zero quickly changed, pulling the collar up high to hide his mark. Glancing around at his room Zero was surprised , someone had been in and removed all the broken pieces of furniture, clean up the blood and even replaced the mirror. How long had he been asleep? The door was no longer locked so he decided to let himself out and thankfully Kaname was not in his room. He remembered the rules that Kuran set down last night, he smile with his famous glare returning to his eyes, he was going to break one already. He needed to see Yuuki and right now she would be on perfect duties.
Kaname he assumed was in class but to be on the safe side he used the window to escape. Leaping effortless to the ground he did not even stumble as he landed. Ok, Zero had to admit it that was the only advantage of being a vampire. He could not fault the cat-like abilities. It did not take him long to find her but that was not the problem. He needed to tell her, reveal everything to her. If she wanted to stay away from him because of it fine, but at least he is giving her choice. More than Kaname as done with him.
"Zero!" Yuuki face split into a innocent smile. It hurt Zero to look at her, she was too innocent, too pure and he was the demon that would poison her. Her smile slipped slightly as she saw the uniform he was wearing. " Why are you wearing the night class uniform?"
"I'm part of the night class now Yuuki." he said slowly, trying to find the best way to word this. How can he tell her that everything she knows about him is a lie. " Yuuki I'm a Vampire."
"Zero.. You're not a…. what? Your? How?" sputtered Yuuki then realisation set in. " Shizuka Hio."
It was not a question, they both knew the truth. The pain and anger in Zeros eye spoke louder than any words to Yuuki. Her own eyes echoed the sadness that Zero felt. Anger like never before boiled away in her veins as she wanted to punish this Shizuka Hio. She could see the pain and suffering in Zero and she wanted to erase it. Knowing that Zero would likely reject her but she still had to try. Reaching for him she pulled him into a tight embrace, taking the weight of his problems, wanting to share the pain of her brother. She was shocked but pleased as Zero hug her back
"Zero, it's alright."
Neither of them noticed the figure watching them or felt is presence as he drew nearer and nearer. Neither of them noticed him raise his gun and the fact that he pointed it directly at Zero.
Bang!
Sitting in class Kaname paid no attention to the teacher dull voice as he lectured or to Aido and Ruka as they desperately tried to gain Kaname's attention. Any other time it would have been amusing as they kept glaring at each other and hissing as one interrupted the other. Kain shook his head at his cousin's foolishness. Kaname mind drifted back towards his little hunter and how he had finally got him to submit. It was not complete obedience, not yet but it's a start. It surprised Kaname that he had lasted as long as he had but bloodlust defeats everyone at some point, especially an ex-human. The atmosphere in the room dramatically changed suddenly . All the vampires in the room shudder and their eyes turn a deep shade of eye as the strong scent of blood hit the air. They sniffed and savour the taste of the sweet, unique smelling blood. Panic flooding his sense but nothing showing behind his mask Kaname knew the source of that blood. It uniqueness, its unusual favour
Zero's Blood.
