Chapter 3:
Death, it grasps us all. We live everyday not knowing when our time will come. Zero Kiryu, is knocking on death's door.
"LIVE GOD DAMN IT!" Kaname screamed at him as he began doing CPR on the silver haired male. His heart had just stopped his body was burning hot though, his fever had gotten up to 107 and he had had a violent seizure, then he flat lined.
Kaname had a few tears welling in his eyes as he tried harder to get Zero's heart to start again "I've got so many plans in store Kiryu! You can't just go!" His screaming grew louder as he thought about everything he had ever wanted to do with the other male: Sharing a milkshake, cuddling next to a warm fire, and walking on the beach.
His thoughts were interrupted by the medical staff coming in and they began trying to help revive him also. Kaname's tears finally fell; all he could do was watch and hope that the man he had fallen head over heels for made it out of this alive and well.
*Inside Zero's dream*
He walked slowly towards a bright light, but as he was about to reach a door, he dropped suddenly into a dark dungeon like room. "What the fuck?" Zero looked around before he saw her… Shizuka… She sat on a soft red sofa, her bullet wounds still wide open in her stomach, blood still staining her silk kimono.
"Hello again… Did you miss me?" Her voice was soft, but it still made the hunter shutter. He stared at her, the looked for his gun. Where had the bloody rose gone? It was nowhere on his person.
Fuck… Oh fuck…. Was all that ran through the hunters mind.
"H-how?! You're dead! I saw your body burst into ash! You can't be real!"
"I am dead, but so are you. That feeling that's been eating away at you slowly since my death, that was me. My blood is coursing through your veins, eating away at every fiber of your being. I wouldn't have minded death. Truly, but you see, my anger kept me trapped here. So now, would you be willing to make a deal with the devil?" She stood slowly, but appeared right in front of Zero.
"What is it that you want you evil creature?" The ex-human snapped and grit his teeth
"A fight, well more like a dual. If you win, with no temper tantrums afterward, I'll let you live. If I win, you'll die and I will be reborn."
Gritting his teeth harder, he nodded his head. "Fine, I'll take you on."
The silver haired pureblood grabbed to long swords off the wall, then tossed on to Zero, blade first. He managed to catch it with the blade cutting his hand open. The fight began to get underway. Zero charged first with Shizuka meeting him half way. The sharpened steel clashing hard, but made a surprisingly soft tinging sound. Sparks slowly generated between them as they pushed closer trying to overpower the opponent.
Both silver haired vampires jumped back and huffed for a moment. Zero caught his breath quickly then once again charged at the female. He dropped down and cut her thigh deeply with the blade. Smirking, zero moved quickly to the right and stands slowly.
"So Shizuka, are you done yet?"
"Silly child. I will not be beaten so easily!" Her haunting voice echoed off the stone walls. She ran at him swiftly and with agile grace. They clashed hard once again. They seemed to dance around the room together, clashing and landed small blows on each other every now and again.
Zero soon grew tired of this dance with his devil, and he thrusted the long katana blade through the pureblood's chest. Shizuka smirked for a moment, the genuinely smiled at the young hunter.
"See Zero. You don't have to empty your clip or repeated stab your enemy. One well-placed hit will do it." She said in a voice that was nearing a whisper. She slowly fell, but zero caught her before she smacked the ground below.
"Zero, I'm sorry for what I did to you, to your family, but I must tell you this… Your brother, Ichiru, he's still alive. I don't know where he is though." She smiled gently then pulled the blade from her chest and dropped it. Soft brightly colored ash began to fade from her body "Zero, you can hate me all you want, but believe me. I did everything out of anger, and I truly am sorry."
"Shizuka, even though you did do the unforgiveable, I accept you apology. Thank you."
She looked up and her world began to get brighter, she could see her lover waiting, reaching his hand out to take her to a beautiful and peaceful world where they could live together in the afterlife. "Zero, my blood runs through you, and it will heal you quickly. My forgiveness will heal you, but you must make me a promise in return."
"Yes Shizuka?" He looked at her pale eyes. He was tense, but would try to be understanding to the women who has had now killed twice.
"Grow up and find true love. Prove to the world that it still exists. Prove that my forgiveness and the path that I choose for you won't be in vain."
"I will Shizuka. Rest well."
She gave him one more smile, before closing her eyes slowly and going in the embrace of her lover.
*Back in the real world*
Zero's heart began beating on its own again, and he gave a small cough, then a large gasp for fresh air. He sat up quickly and looked around. Kaname pushed passed the medics that had just given up trying to revive him. The dark haired male hugged him tightly with tears flowing slowly.
"Zero. Oh my god. You're alive. Thank you for not leaving me…"
Kaname hugged him for a moment, and then tightly held him. "Kuran… you're crushing me." The ex-human muttered into the other male's upper chest.
"Oh. Sorry." He pulled back slowly and rubbed the silver haired male's back. They make eye contact for a few moments before Kaname leaned in, he gently kissed Zero gently. A bit shocked, Zero gasped. This gave Kaname full access to the ex-human's mouth. Zero slowly began to relax and held on to Kaname's back, and began to slowly wrap his tongue around the other male's. Their tongues fought for dominance, dancing slowly exploring now caverns and brushing over fangs as Kaname took over dominance. Zero moaned gently into their steamy kiss. Slowly though, Kaname lead Zero's tongue into his own mouth. Urging him to explore new territory; submitting completely, the younger male slowly exploded as Kaname ran his hands over Zero's chest, but soon, Yuki burst in.
"Zero! You're awake! Oh, oh god." She blushes and covers her mouth seeing the two males making out.
Zero jerked away quickly and turned a bright red. "Y-Yuki!"
They all stared at each other, wide eyed and in awkward silence.
