Beautiful Disaster

Avangeline Fierce

Chapter One

It's My Life

Zero returned to consciousness slowly at first, but when the scent of the room around him hit his nose he bolted upright. Kaname. He would know that scent anywhere, but the last thing he remembered was watching his twin disappear out the window leaving his Mistress as nothing but a pile of ash.

With that memory fresh in his head he looked around frantically trying to figure out where he was at and how he got there. He saw what looked like a dorm room, albeit with finer furnishings than his own, but there was two beds, two large desks, and two closets placed in the spacious room. French doors led outside to what looked like a balcony, if Zero had to hazard a guess he would say the room was on the second or third story from the view out the doors. He had been placed in the bed on the left side of the room, and while there was evidence of another person occupying the right side with the foreign belongings scattered around, he was alone in the room at the time.

He whipped his head around trying to figure out where the scent of Kaname was emanating from, so strong it was blocking all others from his senses. It took a few deep breaths and several minutes before he realized the smell wasn't in the room, it was on him. He smelled like Kaname. His clothes, his skin, everything was strongly scented by the Pureblood.

What the Hell happened to him?

He was attempting to pull himself out of bed when the door to the room opened, and the Pureblood in question walked in. From the flushed look on his face, Zero realized the elder vampire must have just finished feeding. That thought made the burning ache in his throat start up again, which caused him to see a flash of himself, chained down and fighting the pain and madness with everything he had. He was lucky this time, almost as soon as the vision came it left him again.

Kaname waited until Zero's crimson eyes faded back to angry lavender before speaking. "If you haven't figured it out yet, you are in the Moon dormitory. I had you brought here when it became apparent you would no longer be safe amongst the humans in the day class. You almost fell you know. Level E. I saved you from that fate, but there are consequences from that you are going to have to live with. Joining the Night Class is just the first of many." Kaname felt the direct approach was best, Zero would get mad anyway, but the quicker he spoke the more he could get across to the ex-human before the anger took over and he stopped listening.

"Yuki? Where is she? She was there with That Woman and me. I didn't hurt her did I?" His lack of memory angered him, as well as the discovery that his beloved Bloody Rose was no where near him. He was also madder than a wet hornet at Kaname right now, but figuring out if Yuki was alright took precedence.

Kaname was surprised that Zero thought of Yuki before tearing into him, he knew Zero was just barely holding onto his temper, and yet he still thought of Yuki first. It was just another conformation that Kaname had made the right choice. "Yuki is safe and I will allow her to visit, with supervision of course, once you get yourself back under control."

"Where do you get off telling me when I can and can't see her? You don't control her." Zero spat back, anger joining his thirst in making him volatile.

"You are right of course, I don't control her," Kaname said in falsely soothing tone, before smiling a bit sadistically. "I control you. My blood flows in your veins, it is my command you follow now, not Hio's."

"Bastard, what have you done to me?" Zero was out of the bed and grabbing Kaname by the throat before his own actions registered with him.

"Let go." Kaname commanded calmly, and Zero's hand released its hold with a snarl from its owner. "I warned you, I hold your leash now. I saved your life, whats left of it anyway, you owe me your obedience. You WILL join the Night class, you WILL obey me, and if you do that I will keep you supplied with what you need to keep yourself under control. I will allow Yuki to be near you, and if you prove your commitment to her and me I will even allow you to carry your Bloody Rose again. Cross and Yagari have already agreed to your reassignment, and their condition requires me to see to your safety. With my command I can control the others and keep you alive, but that is all I am required to do. I am going above and beyond this by allowing anything more. Consider yourself lucky."

Zero looked at the hand, that a moment ago had been wrapped around the pale flesh of Kaname's neck, and with a chocked growl replied. "Lucky? You are turning me into some kind of dog! How in the nine Hells am I supposed to consider that lucky? What are you getting out of this? You certainly are not doing it for me that's for sure."

"I am getting Yuki. If she found out I had the key to saving you, and withheld it when you had need of it, she would never forgive me. You are her special person, the boy she carefully cleaned blood off of when you two first met, and she has spent four years trying to understand and support you. I cannot ignore that or it would eventually come back to haunt anything I shared with Yuki later on." Kaname hadn't only watched Yuki grow up, he had kept an eye on Zero since he came into the picture as well. With bloodied claw marks on his neck from his first few attempts to drive the beast out of his body.

"What makes you think I won't tell her that you are using me to get to her?" Zero was still growling, too angry to repress his beast.

"If you do that, we both loose her, as she would be angry at me and I would stop giving you my blood which is the only thing preventing you from being nothing more than a monster. If you do this my way, however reluctant, we both have a chance." Kaname explained calmly, and Zero was forcibly reminded that despite all his claims of pacifism, this was still a vampire of the highest order. Kaname could, and would with enough provocation, destroy him without a great deal of effort.

"This seems wrong, very wrong. Yuki would not like this if she knew." Zero countered.

"No she wouldn't. Not as we are anyway. Things change Zero, try things my way and see what comes of it. She needs both of us. I am her sword, but you are her shield, and because of that she is our world. I am a part of her life just as much as you are, a less scrupulous vampire would just kill you and be done with it. I won't hurt Yuki that way. So yes I am your Master, until you have control over yourself again I will not hesitate to use the leash in your blood, but when it comes to Yuki she will make the final choice." Kaname insisted.

Zero found himself snarling, "It doesn't look like I have any choice in the matter at all."

"Not if you want to live, no." Kaname confirmed.

Zero turned away from Kaname, not trusting himself to avoid a fight standing so near, and sat back down on the bed he woke up on. He needed a change of subject, away from Yuki, the girl was his weakness. "Whose room is this? Don't tell me I have to live in the same room as you? Living in the same dorm is going to be hard enough."

"I have my own room, I do not share, the perks of a dorm president. This is Takuma's room and now yours, he is the only other one aware of your situation at the moment. My scent is serving to hide yours for now. The others will be informed of your arrival when you are well enough to attend classes. Like I said earlier, my word will have the others restrained from attacking you physically, but you are still a Level D. The rest are all nobles of varying temperaments, I suggest you enjoy the peace while it lasts." Kaname forced himself to hide the satisfied grin from crossing his face, Zero would always be prickly, but with the right persuasion he could be brought around to suit Kaname's need. He couldn't have chosen a better protector for Yuki, Zero's bramble only made him more intimidating to anyone trying to harm her.
