- Chapter 3 -

The Room is a mess. I don't even want to know what they were doing here. Well, it's obvious what they did in the bedroom, and I even dare to say there would have been another round of it if I didn't walk in on them. But what shocked me the most wasn't even the sight of them kissing so passionately, it were Kaname's words that I was interrupting his fun. I wonder from when did he consider doing such an act with Kiryu for a fun thing. Didn't he hate him? Because he's always with Yuki, even have feelings for her. I don't think Kaname would go to such lengths just to make him stay away from her. Something must have happened last night in the mansion to Kiryu, that's the only reasonable explanation. But I won't ask. If Kaname decides to tell me, I will listen. Otherwise, it's not my place to ask – even if we are childhood friends.

Taking another look around the room, I don't think they also did it here. The room doesn't look like they were fighting, so the only explanation is that someone searched for something. Oh well. I just need to call for a cleaning service after we leave to clean it up.

"So tell me now Ichijou the reason you came," Kaname broke the silence, and my eyes were at him in exact that moment. He was still sitting – or better to say half lying – on the couch, like the last few silent minutes. His eyes were closed; he looked like he was deep in thoughts all the time so I didn't wanted to interrupt him with any unnecessary words.

After we have found Kiryu on the bathroom floor, Kaname had brought him back to the bedroom after he got rid of the blood, and made sure that his life wasn't in danger. We still don't know what happened, as he's still unconscious, but there weren't any wounds on him indicating he didn't try anything. That was when I had the chance to see Kaname from another angle – how tender and caring he was. Oh yes. What I came here for.

"I received a call from the Linovas household. The young lady wants to meet with you again."

"Really?" from the tone of his voice I can tell he's not really enthusiastic about it, and considering that she did something to Kiryu, I'm not surprised about his lack of interest.

"Kaname. Can I know what happened… last night?" God, what am I saying? It totally didn't sound like what I wanted to know. I muss correct myself before he'll have the time to think I mean something strange by it. "N…no I didn't mean to say it like that. Considering the position I found the both of you in earlier, it's obvious what happened between the two of you…" I really need to shut up, as I'm making it just worse for me. Where's a chair? I need to sit down. Ah, what a slip of the tongue. Now he's looking at me – I know it. I don't even need to see him, as I have my head buried in my hands as I'm now finally sitting on a chair – I can feel his eyes on me, and that's enough to make my body feel hot. Even my cheeks are burning from the embarrassment.

"Ichijou," here it comes. "Last night, he was under influence."

"Under Influence?" of what? Did that damn pureblood gave him something? But it makes sense that way – If he was drugged. There's no other way he, who hates us so much, would willingly sleep with one of us. Not to mention Kiryu was definitely not gay.

"Just two words. Bloody Sunday. Do you know what it is?" I look up and my eyes meet brown calm ones. I heard about it. Some nobles use it for their plays, as the memory of the victims will be completely erased, no harm could come to the nobles. No witnesses so to say. So even some purebloods like this type of game.

"Yes. I have heard about it before. So than you gave in to his seduction, I assume."

"It was like… I don't even know how to describe it, Ichijou. It was like big thirst. Even worst than the blood lust. I was tempted by him, and I gave in to those many new feelings and needs my body was showing me. I know I shouldn't have done it, it wasn't fair towards him, but I couldn't control myself. I totally lost it."

"What about earlier?" that is the other think that interests me. If the effects of the drug were long gone, and Kiryu woke up without knowing what happened, than why didn't he resist him?

"Blood bond."

"What?"

"That night we created a blood bond." I'm not as shocked as someone else would be, as I already knew that Kaname gave Kiryu his blood once before – it was after Shizuka's death I think. But what's shocking is Kaname actually drinking from him. It's not a good idea to just so create the blood bond with a pureblood, as it will now tie them together, calling to each other. I don't intend to ask why he did it, as it's not my place to question his actions.

"What do you intend to do now Kaname?"

"I don't know."

"If the council hears about this…" I didn't get to finish as Kaname rises up suddenly, his eyes sharp. "What is it?"

"He's awake."

I didn't see the sun anymore, so it seems few hours have passed since my passing out in the bathroom. Great. So I slept thru the whole day, and even now my body don't want to get up. I turn myself so that I'm lying on my stomach, snuggling deeper into this comfortable bed. I think that when someone would see me like this – hugging this big pillow to my body – than my image of the bad guy would be ruined. But I don't really care much about it in this moment, as the bed is so warm, and the scent on it so comfortable. I love how it calms me deep in my soul.

Wait a moment. I think I know this smell. The images of some time earlier are now freely coming to my mind, flashing clearly before my closed eyes. My body shivers as it too remembers the pleasure HE was giving it.

Kuran.

In exactly the same moment as that name comes to my mind, I'm fully awake – the laziness gone for good. Panic starts to build in me, for I'm scared of my own body giving away and I'm trying in one quick move to free myself from this madness, the first logical thing to do is to leave the bed. But I'm too hasty in my moves, and I feel the bed cover wrapping around my ankles, and I'm falling backwards to the ground.

"Shit," that really hurt.

"And what may you be doing?" that voice. I look at the direction from where it came from, and in the opened door I see him – Kuran. I don't like the way he's looking at me – that amused smile on his face – but I muss say, I really muss look hilarious right now, half lying on the floor by the bed, my legs still on in trapped by the fabric.

"I fell, isn't that obvious?" I don't know why I even bother to answer him. I was so caught up in trying to free my feet, that I didn't even sense him coming to me, until he was so close that his hand was pulling the fabric away – I immediately pulled myself away, just to make some space between us, as I sensed his fingers brushing my skin lightly.

"You look like a scared kitten," what the hell? I wanted to say, but I rather bit down on my tongue, giving him a hateful look. "There are some clothes, so join me in the living room after you're done. There are some things I like to know from you," looking at the direction his hand was pointing to, I heard the door closing. Taking in the clothes lying on the chair, I look down on my naked form and I feel my face heating up from embarrassment – why is it that he had to see me in such an embarrassing pose? Screw it. I dress myself quickly – I don't even want to know whom these clothes belong to – and head to the door.

As I enter the room, not one, but two heads turn my way – god, I'm so glad he didn't came in with Kuran earlier. And what's with this room? Its like and typhoon had gone thru it – were they fighting? But nothing is broken, and none of them has wounds on them.

"Hello there, Kiryu. I didn't have the chance to greet you earlier because of… because of… well, you know," Ichijou's face was slightly flushed, as he struggled with the right words to say in this kind of situation. I too rather averted my eyes from him, as I wasn't comfortable when our eyes met, because of the scene he saw earlier.

"What did you wanted to ask, Kuran? And make it quick, as I want to leave as soon as possible."

"You won't go anywhere."

"Like hell I would stay here," who does he think he is? Does he think that just because we slept together, he now has the right to order me around? Hell no. If it's even the truth, as I don't remember anything – not like I want to remember.

"Kiryu-kun," Ichijou spoke first, but my eyes stayed locked with Kurans. "What happened to you earlier?"

"Like hell I know," that is something I would like to know too. Puking up so much blood is not something that is happening just so from itself.

"It's your body. You should know best," stated Kuran coldly.

"Shouldn't you be the one to know best? It was you who played with it the whole night," from the corner of my eye I saw Ichijou blushing severely, averting his head from the both of us. My eyes stayed locked on Kuran, waiting for any kind of reaction from him – I haven't given much thoughts to the words before I said them, and now I'm really surprised how such an statement could leave my mouth.

"Maybe…" it was Ichijou who cut thru the silence first, and both of us looked his way. "Maybe it was a sign that your body is changing."

"Changing? In what…"

"What do you mean by it?" Kuran cut me off, like I didn't even spoke in the first place – I gave him one of my looks, but I think he didn't see it, as his full attention was on the blond noble.

"In the whole vampire history is never mentioned a bond between a pureblood and a Level D. Maybe – just maybe – isn't it possible that the bond is making his rank go up?" wait just a minute. What is he talking about? A bond? What kind of bond?

"What's this about a bond?" both of them looked at me in a way that indicated they didn't believe what I have just said.

"Kiryu?"

"Don't play dumb Zero," why is he calling me by my name? "You should know how is a blood bond created between two vampires," he sat down in the sofa, still looking at me. Blood bond. So that kind of bond were they talking about. How is it created? Of course I know it – I'm a Hunter for fucks sake. I should know everything about my enemies.

"So I assume you finally figured it out?" that must have been meant for the expression on my face right in this moment, as realization hit me hard. A blood bond – created between two vampires by exchanging one another's blood. My hand automatically reached out to my neck where he had bitten me. I wanted to say something – anything – but the words were stuck in me. I swallowed hardly.

"And where do you think you're going?" Kurans calm voice made me stop in my attempt to leave this place. I don't even know why my mind told my body to stop, as I definitely wanted to be as far from him as possible, and the sooner the better. Blood bond – my ass.

"That's none of your business," I leave the apartment before any of them has any chance to react in any way, quickly making my way down, thru the large reception – ignoring the glances from the people present – and out to the street. My body shivers lightly by the cold touch of the wind. Cab. I definitely need to find a cab, as I don't know where exactly I am.

After few minutes of searching, I was in one and I gave the driver the address to the hotel where I should have originally woke up, not in his apartment, in his bed, by his side… shit Zero, stop thinking about it. It would be really great if I didn't have to see him the rest of my stay here - it's hard just knowing that we are in the same country.

Were already here? That was really fast. I gave the driver the money I have found in the back pocket of these jeans – without even slightly bothering that it doesn't really belong to me, and make my way into the building. At the reception desk I ask for the key to the room, as I left it there yesterday and without further delay I make my way up to the third floor.

"Who the fuck are you?" my question is for the man leaning against the door to my room – he seems to be in his late thirties, nothing special about his looks.

"Kiryu Zero I assume," he moved a little, so that I could haw access to the door.

"And who might you be?" he seems to be Russian, but his Japanese is perfect.

"Dimitri Tolarovič. The Association have send me for you and as I should bring you to the headquarters here in Russia," so in another words they don't trust me to come to them freely after yesterday. But if the Association wanted him to escort me, there is nothing I can do about it. Opening the door, I didn't bother to invite him inside – the fact that I didn't close the door should be enough for him to figure it out.

"Give me a few minutes," I said after I heard the door closing, and without waiting for an answer, I made my way to the bathroom – I was really in need of a shower, to scrape off his smell that was all over me. After closing the door to the bathroom behind me – and locking it of course – I throw the clothes to the floor in the corner.

First I let the cold water run freely down my entire body, enjoying the feeling, just relaxing in the shower. I want to stay that way longer, but I think the Association won't wait so long – and after the first shiver running down my back, I turn the hot water up a little, adding soap to my body to fully clean off the remains of the hours spend with him. Drying myself up, I let the hair a little bit wet as I enjoy the feeling on the back of my neck, and I look around the small bathroom just to realize something.

Great. I forgot to bring in some change of clothes. Now I need to go out there in just a towel, as I definitely don't want to put on the ones on the floor – they smell of him. Sighing, I unlock the door and the first thing that my eyes are searching for in the room is the lonely figure standing few feats before me, now looking my way. I take few steps in the direction of the bed, where I left my unpacked bag with clothes.

"That's really dangerous, you know," I don't like his tone, and what's with that look? Did I see red in his eyes just a few seconds earlier?

"What is?" he didn't bother to answer me, and in an instant I found myself pinned to the wall behind me with my hands secured above my head, and his face too close to mine.

"You look really delicious," he licks his lips, and than I can see two fangs slowly growing out. Shit. How is it possible I didn't sense it? He's as freaking vampire! And now here I am, pinned to the wall by his big body and looking into those red eyes filled with lust.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

"Can you locate him, Kaname?" he got me by surprise, as I didn't expected this kind of question from him. Ichijou wasn't the type to question my actions, and I was always glad for it, so I didn't expect him to care about my blood bond with Kiryu.

"No. The bond isn't strong enough – yet." Yes, yet. I have this feeling that it will bring us more trouble in the future, because when it will deepen, neither of us would be able to deny the need, the craving feeling for one another. I don't think that Kiryu is aware of it yet – his behavior didn't show any signs of it. And I really tried to control myself earlier, for which he should be really thankful to me.

"I think we're already here, Kaname," I averted my eyes away from him to look out of the window he's currently looking out. After Kiryu left the apartment so abruptly – and I didn't even had the chance to ask him about his reason for stay - I decided to visit Eliade once more, as there's one thing I want to know – so here we are again.

"I will wait here for you," I nodded to Ichijou, stepping out of the car – the one who waited there for me was again the butler, stoic expression on his face. I rather didn't start any conversation with him, as he guided me to the same room as before, where Eliade was already waiting patiently for me, sitting in one of the big comfortable chairs by the window.

I took the seat opposite of her, an elegant chess board between us, the figures from glass decorated with gold – there wasn't a need for a greeting, that was something the both of us knew. I leaned closer to the board before me, touching it lightly, my fingers running thru the golden lines that made out the family crest.

"Are you the only one here?" I deliberately not looked up at her.

"Yes. Why do you ask?"

"Just wanted to confirm something."

"Mother and father are currently sleeping, as many purebloods are, and brother is overseas, looking over the family business," so if the parents are asleep, there isn't anyone who would look over her, hinder her in the things she's currently doing. And that brother of hers, he was always adoring her, allowing her to do anything she wanted.

"But tell me, Kaname, how was he?"

"What?"

"Oh, don't tell me you didn't even touched him? And to think I even let you take him away from me. Do you know what I would have done with him? I would have made him scream out in pleasure, make him trembling from lust before I slowly sunk my fangs in his delicate neck, taking his sweet blood…"

"Eliade!" I couldn't take it anymore. She is a damn perverted girl – and I'm too, so to say. Because with her every word, images flashed in my mind, as I did exactly what she had described – and I enjoined it, even liked it. His lustful moans, his trembling voice, his deep breathing… I need to stop.

"So you did take him," looking back at her, I narrowed my eyes at the happy expression I see on her face. This girl. "How was he?" is tormenting me making her happy? Why are her words affecting me so much? I don't want to think about it, because just that little is making me go crazy, I don't even know what I will do if I see him again.

"Tell me, Eliade," I cut her out before she had the time to say something – and she would have, because the expression on her face showed it. "Are there any side effects to the drug? That is beside the thing with the memory loss."

"I don't think so. Why? Did something happen?" so it isn't because of the drug. Than is it really the bond like Ichijou thought? I think I need to look deeper into it when we are back, even if Zero wont be so willing. Shit. Again with the first name.

"No. It's nothing," she decided not to pursue the topic anymore, and her expression became serious, the playfulness was also gone from her eyes.

"I too, would like to ask you something, Kaname," the serious tone in her voice just indicated that I was right about her facial expression. She always did it – changing to such state when she was all serious about something.

"Go ahead."

"It's more like a favor than a question, to be exact," leaning back, she took a deep breath as to calm herself – it was really hard for her to say it, and I really hoped I would be able to fulfill whatever she would ask. But this feeling deep down in me said otherwise.

"Could you please return home, and turn a blind eye to what's happening here?"

"That… I can't do," it's kind of hard for me to say those simple words, because I know what would their meaning do to her – my dear childhood friend. But this is a sensitive matter, a one favor I couldn't really grant her. And I could see it on her face that she knew it. I stood up, as there was nothing more to be said, but stopped in the middle of the room as I sensed her moving slowly.

"Than this means the next time we meet, we'll be enemies." She was right. Because with just those words she had said earlier, she confirmed my suspicion about her. That she was part of it – those things happening here. I didn't turn around to see her. There was no need for more words, as both of us knew very well that we'll see each other soon enough. And that as enemies, as she had already said. I don't want to think about it anymore, as I leave her standing there, behind the closed door.

TBC…

-As from the next month (May) my exams will start and I really need to study for them, I will try to write another chapter till then, as I won't have time for it till my exams are over. I really found myself absorbed in this story.

-Oh yes. One more thing – I'm thinking about writing another lemon in the next chapter, from Zeros point of view this time – if you want it that is… love you all… till next time…
