Chapter 4

"L-Lord Kaname?!", Aidou exclaimed in shock, "Is that a child in your arms? Is it yours? *gasp* Is that a human child? Why does he have silver ha-"

"Aidou!" Aidou quickly shut his mouth. Kaname put Zero down, and faced Aidou.

"This is Zero. He will be staying with me until further notice." Aidou looked at Zero again. Why was this little boy so special? What was he to Lord Kaname? This boy with moon colored hair had somehow ended up under Lord Kaname's care. Aidou's eyes widened at the boy. This boy was going to steal all of Lord Kaname's attention!

Zero surveyed Aidou as Kaname began to explain grown up stuff. Zero could sense a weaker version of the aura Kaname had coming from the blonde man. Watching Aidou interact with Kaname, Zero wondered if Kaname was a really important person. Aidou was bowing an awful lot, and Kaname looked like he was bossing Aidou around. Zero looked over at Kaname who was talking with Aidou, and gazed at him in awe. He wondered if Kaname was the one who made all the rules. Zero's eyes sparkled as he gazed upon Kaname.

Cross, who had been watching from the side, grabbed his camera seemingly out of nowhere, and began to take pictures of his newest child. The look of wonder and excitement on Zero's face as he gazed upon the pureblood was absolutely precious. Snapping as many pictures as he could, he decided that this would be his new favorite pastime. Cross swore to get as many cute pictures of Zero as possible. He wanted to have pictures of Zero with different kinds of emotions on his face. Cross especially wanted photos of Zero and Kaname together.

Cross was not blind. In fact, he was very good at observing people. Especially when it came down to his children. Zero would be the key to change and fix Kaname's broken heart. Cross was sure of it, and he was going to prove it with his pictures. Then, and only then, would he be able to make the Ultimate Scrapbook of Happiness!

Kaname ignored the evil laughter at the side of the room and continued to tell/order Aidou to tell everyone at the Moon dorm that Zero was not to be touched (bitten) by any students of the Moon dorm, or told that vampires exist. And that Zero would be staying with him at all times unless told otherwise. Kaname decided that if he had to go somewhere Zero couldn't he would have Takuma look after the boy. Takuma was the most loyal to him, and tended to have a way with kids. Aidou bowed and ran off to do as he was told.

Kaname glanced out of the corner of his eye towards Zero. The sugar from all the candy Zero had eaten had finally kicked in. Zero was jumping up and down clapping….with a look of amazement…at him? All that sugar must have rushed to poor Zero's brain. Kaname felt an odd twinge in his chest at the sight of Zero's amazed face. Zero looked like he had just seen a magic trick happen right before his eyes. Kaname quickly shook off the feeling and offered Zero his hand.

"It is time to go, Zero." Zero put his small hand in his.

"Where are we going, Kana?"

"To the Moon dorm, where you will be staying with me for the time being. You are going to meet the students there, and then you are going to bed." Kaname walked with Zero out of the Chairman's office, ignoring the sounds of mad clicking. He was going to have to confiscate that camera later.

Aidou had just told the other vampires what was going on. The students began to whisper among themselves. Ruka, Aidou, and most of the other students were unhappy about the new arrival. Kain and Takuma were just curious. Seiren, Rima, and Shiki didn't comment. All of the Moon dorm students wondered why the child was special to Lord Kaname.

All of the whispers stopped when they sensed their Lord's presence approach the building. All eyes turned towards the front door as they heard the footsteps approaching.

The doors finally swung open, revealing Lord Kaname. All of the vampires' heads bowed in respect before coming back up to inspect the small figure holding onto Lord Kaname's hand. There was a short silence.

"He is so cute!" Ruka slapped a hand over her own mouth, and blushed furiously as many eyes of her fellow vampires stared at her.

"I agree." Rima said quietly while Shiki nodded his agreement. The Moon dorm then burst into questions and comments about Zero.

"How old is he?"

"Is that his natural hair color?"

"He is adorable! I just want to squeeze his little cheeks!"

"Where did he come from?"

"He smells sweet."

"Can I hold his hand?"

Zero was overwhelmed, and hid behind Kaname's leg. Which resulted in a unanimous "awww" from the other students. Zero had never seen so many pretty people before. They all had the same feeling as Aidou. Zero was curious as to what it meant, but stayed quiet.

"He is shy. Poor little guy."

"It's ok little one."

Kaname noticed Zero's discomfort, and decided it was time to leave.

"This is Zero.", Kaname started. All vampires went quiet, "He will be staying here, and he is not to be touched. Now, please excuse us we are going to bed."

The vampires bowed. Kaname picked Zero up and carried him to his room.

Kaname had set Zero down, and locked the door. Zero immediately began to explore. He had never seen anything like it. The bed was huge, and there was a couch! In a corner there was also a desk with paperwork on top. Zero was really excited.

Kaname allowed Zero to wander around for a good ten minutes straight before he decided it was enough.

"Zero. It is time for bed." Zero looked at Kaname and pouted cutely.

"But I'm not tired!"

"If you don't go to bed now, you will be tired in the morning." Zero sulked.

"Could you tell me a bedtime story then?" Kaname watched Zero scramble up into the bed, and then look at him expectantly.

"No. Just go to sleep." There was no way he was telling bedtime stories. He didn't even know any. Zero huffed.

"I can't sleep until I am told a bedtime story." Zero said stubbornly.

"I don't know any." Zero began to get teary eyed.

"But I might know a poem." Zero clapped, and got under the covers. Kaname laid on his side next to him, and recited the poem.

"In desperate hope I go and search for her in all the corners of
my room; I find her not.

My house is small and what once has gone from it can never be
regained.

But infinite is thy mansion, my lord, and seeking her I have to
come to thy door.

I stand under the golden canopy of thine evening sky and I lift
my eager eyes to thy face.

I have come to the brink of eternity from which nothing can
vanish-no hope, no happiness, no vision of a face seen through
tears.

Oh, dip my emptied life into that ocean, plunge it into the
deepest fullness. Let me for once feel that lost sweet touch in
the allness of the universe."

Kaname looked at Zero to find him asleep. Kaname ran his fingers through Zero's silvery hair.

"Goodnight, Zero"

A/N: The poem, called Gitanjali, was made by Rabindranath Tagore. I do not own it. I thought it fit the story well. I found it on the website below, just take out the spaces.
