Lots of people have been asking about Kaname's and Zero's past interactions. To be honest it was really supposed to be nothing more than admiring each other from afar and not ever really meeting. But I felt bad thinking how lame that would sound to reply to the comments with that. So I started thinking and came up with this. It's really not much… but it's more then what I originally had planned. So I hope you like it! And yes I know there're not really flash backs since they're in third person… but I think they work.
Also I've finally decided that yes Kaname is ancestor Kaname so he's super powerful… but um since Rido's nice I don't know how it happened… I'm still thinking on it so just roll with it for a bit. Thanks!
Find Your Wings
Chapter 4: Better Then Ever
Yuki sat across the table from her brother rubbing her eyes. "You know you don't have to wake up every morning to see me off." Kaname said as he sipped his cup of tea that had blood tablets in it.
"I know, Onii-sama. But I want to." Yuki smiled.
"Thanks." Kaname couldn't help but smile. Yuki was still a child in so many ways. Although she did have her moments of maturity. Sometimes he couldn't fathom why Rido would have any interest in such a person like Yuki and other times he felt so proud of his little sister.
"Kaname…"
"What?"
"Your aura is different today. Why are you so happy?"
"Is it that obvious?" Kaname chewed his lip.
Yuki smiled. "Yup." a small giggled escaped her lips. "So who's the guy?"
"What?" Kaname's jaw dropped. Yuki had always been good at reading Kaname yet it still surprised him whenever she guessed right.
"Oh come on Kaname. I've never seen you this excited over anything! It has to be someone special."
"Actually it is." Kaname smiled.
Yuki sat up in her chair and was surprisingly wide awake now. "Who?"
"Zero Kiryuu."
"Really?" Yuki's smiled widened. "That's fantastic. Where did you finally find him?"
Kaname didn't hide his blush, after all this was his sister. "At my school. He's in Shiki's class."
Yuki laughed. "All this time and he was right under your nose!"
"Oh shove off." Kaname sipped the last of his tea and stood.
"Have fun. And don't be too creepy in your stalking of Zero."
"I am not going to stalk him." Kaname said defensively.
"Talking to Shiki and following him to class to get a glimpse of Zero is totally stalking, brother dearest."
"You don't even understand."
"Oh but I do. You forget I've been here this whole time as you looked for him. I haven't missed a moment Kaname. Honest." She winked at her brother.
Kaname just shook his head and smiled. "Yuki you really are extraordinary. I'll see you later."
"Have a wonderful day Onii-Sama. I know you will."
Kaname sat in the limo on the way to Cross and his mind slipped back to the past.
::Kaname dashed off from his parents. He didn't want to be at this ball, there were so many people he that felt the need to talk to him when all he wanted to do was just be alone. So he left. He ran out into the moonlit garden and found a bush that he huddled under. He knew that he should be acting all mature, after all he was 13. But tonight just for a bit he wanted to act childish.
"Why are you hiding?" Kaname looked up at the sound of the innocent voice. He looked the little silver haired boy over.
"I don't want to be inside." Kaname responded quietly.
"Oh. Me too! Can I hide with you?" Kaname couldn't resist that little smile.
"Sure." The little boy sat next to the Pureblood then he scooted so they were snug against eachother.
"I'm tired but mommy and daddy still are working." He yawned.
"Oh. You're Human right so you should be sleeping right now."
"Yes. It's past my and my brother's bed time. And I'm so sleepy…" The little boy laid his head on Kaname's shoulder.
"How old are you?"
"Five! My brother and I are both five!" He held up five fingers. "I'm sleepy." He nuzzled into Kaname's neck.
"Aren't you scared of me?"
"No. you're too nice looking. And you smell yummy." The little boy smiled sleepily this time.
"Well then you can nap with me for a bit."
"Thank you." He leaned up and kissed Kaname softly on the cheek before laying his head in the Pureblood's lap. Something in Kaname's heart warmed and he felt like he was no longer alone in the world. This little boy was filling a void in his heart.
As those captivating lilac eyes closed Kaname started to stroke the soft silver hair and he wondered if this was the little boys real hair. After what felt like a short time Kaname heard someone walking about shouting. "Zero!" The little boy stirred and his eyes fluttered open. "Zero where are you?" The woman called again. The little boy's eyes shot open and he sat up.
"Okaa-San?" Zeros stood up and shouted.
"ZERO!" The sound of running footsteps.
"Thank you." Zero leaned down and kissed Kaname on the lips this time. "Bye." And he ran off to his mother.
Kaname sat in his hiding place. His fingers glided over his lips where the little boy, Zero, had kissed him. Kaname stood from his hiding spot and walked off in the direction Zero had gone. He really wanted to know how to find the little boy but when he reentered the ballroom Zero was no where to be seen. Kaname felt his heart sink a little. But perhaps, he thought, he would see Zero at another ball and then he would make Zero his.::
::Kaname walked over to the silver haired boy. "Is that your real hair?"
"Yes." Zero said making a pouting face.
"It's pretty. May I touch it?"
"Okay…" Zero looked up at the boy in front of him. It was the first time anyone had ever called his hair pretty, he usually got teased for it. Then a warm hand was stroking his hair. "Are you a Vampire?" Zero asked. He was still in early childhood Hunter training but he was pretty good at picking out Vampires.
"Yes I am."
"I'm a Hunter." Zero smiled widely.
"That's nice." Kaname smiled back. He was just as adorable as he was last time.
"I like you!" Zero hugged Kaname briefly. The Pureblood didn't know what to do. He had only been hugged by his family. This was something new for him and he didn't know what to do. "What's you're name?" Zero asked innocently.
"Kaname Kuran. What about you?"
"Zero Kiryuu."
"You're a Kiryuu." Kaname's eyebrows lifted. "It's a pleasure to meet you."
"Zero." The silver haired boy turned to his mother as she walked over. "Don't just wander away like that." She stopped when she saw who Zero was talking to. "Kaname-Sama. I hope that Zero has not been an inconvenience to you." She bowed.
"No. He's a polite young boy." The Pureblood said. Now that there was a high Ranking Hunter around Kaname was in his diplomatic mode.
"I'm glad he did not trouble you. Now come along Zero and leave Kaname-Sama be." She took Zero little hand.
"But I want to talk to him!" Zero started to whine.
"Come on."
"Fine." Zero looked over at his shoulder. "Bye Kaname!"
"Bye Zero." Kaname watched as the throng swallowed the cute silver haired Hunter. At that moment something sparked in Kaname's chest. He made a silent whish that he could see Zero again?::
::"Onii-Sama…" Yuki ran her hand down Kaname's back. "What are you looking at?"
"No one." Kaname said straightening. He stood on the second story balcony looking down at the crowd of people.
"I never said anything about someone."
"He's not here anyway." Kaname turned away.
"Are you looking for Zero?"
"Yes."
"He won't be coming."
"How do you know?" Kaname turned back to his sister.
"Didn't you hear about the recent killing of the Hunter family?"
"Yes."
"That was Zero's family." Yuki's face was grave. "So Toga Yagari is here in Zero's place."
"Is Zero alright?"
"I don't know. Toga would know though."
"Where is he?" Kaname walked back to the banister and looked around for the one eyed Hunter.
"Over there." Yuki pointed and Kaname looked where she pointed and saw the Hunter with another young Hunter.
Kaname was down there in a few seconds. "Toga Yagari." He said.
"Ah… Kaname Kuran. How can I help you?" Toga did his best to keep his voice even.
"I hear you are performing duties that should have been Zero Kiryuu's. I wish to know how he is."
"Fine."
"So he's alive?" Kaname's heart was relived he had been praying that Zero was not dead.
"Of course he is. But why would you care, leech?" The sandy haired Hunter next to Yagari said in a venomous tone.
"Kaito. Watch your tongue."
"Zero and I are acquaintances and I merely whished to see him."
"Fat chance of that happening. He got shipped off." Kaito grinned and hopped that his words hurt Kaname.
"To where?"
"That is classified information. We cannot give that out. Sorry Kaname-Sama." Yagari said.
"Thank you." Kaname walked off. So Zero was alive but he couldn't find him. The one person he had been following these past years had fallen through his fingers. Just when he was about to make his move Zero disappeared and Yagari would not help.::
Even after all these years the failure stung Kaname's heart. But that was all changing now, he knew where Zero went to school and what class he was in. Stepping out of the car Kaname dialed Takuma's number. "Where are you?"
"Just in side the gate." Takuma replied.
"I'm coming to meet you." Kaname hung up and stood beside his friend in a few minutes. As he had hoped Senri was there.
"This is unusual Kaname-Sama." Takuma smiled.
"Well I had a few questions I wanted to ask Senri. So I figured I'd walk him to class."
"Oh…" A huge grin broke out on the noble's face. "I see. Well Senri said Zero's always early so hurry off and walk Senri to class so you can see your dear Zero. See you in a bit Kaname." Takuma smiled and walked off.
"Come on then. This is so retarded. You could have just walked to the class on your own and asked to speak with Zero-kun." Shiki said in his monotone.
"Shut up. I'm doing this my own way." The rest of the walk passed in silence when they arrived at Zero's and Senri's class Kaname stood so that he could talk to Shiki and look over his shoulder at Zero. Lilac eyes meet deep crimson ones. Zero looked down at his desk. "Have a good class Senri." Kaname smiled.
Zero sat in his seat blushing as he looked down at his desk. Had Kaname come just to look at him? No surely not. He was talking to Senri. "Gees…" Shiki said as he sat in his seat. "Hey Zero."
"Hey." Zero didn't look up. He knew that he probably looked tired again today.
"You do your homework?"
"Yup." Zero wiped the blush off his face and set his features into his normal scowl before looking up. Seeing Kaname in school was something that had only ever happened when Kaname was giving a speech or something for Student council. Never just in passing and he had come to his classroom. Zero's heart beat fast in his chest. Focus on the lesson. Don't let your mind wander. Just focus! But his mind wasn't listening. It just had to slip to his most precious memory of Kaname.
::Zero looked in the mirror and fixed his hair he really didn't look good with blond hair… but he had grown tired of his silver hair so it would have to do till it grew out. His stomach churned with nerves as he thought about what he was about to do. "Stupid Kaito." He had been walking through the train station when the Hunter had stopped him. It had been a few years since they had last met but Kaito said he was in town to supervise a Vampire ball. Naturally Zero had asked if Kaname would be there and when Kaito said he would Zero's mind started wondering how he could possibly get an invite. Kaito must have seen this because he invited Zero, gave him a card and the location. 'Just remember to dress up… it's a masquerade. Stupid in my opinion.' and Kaito had walked off.
So here Zero was in front of his uncle's mirror primping himself for the night. "Where are you off to looking so good?" Zero shivered at the voice.
"To meet a friend, Ojii-san." Zero said turning around.
"Well I hope this friend isn't special to you…" his uncle moved in but Zero ducked out of the way and made for the door.
"He is. Don't wait up for me." and Zero sprinted out of the house.
The walk to the place where the masquerade took Zero just about an hour so the party was in full swing when Zero handed over the card and walked in. His bejeweled mask was in place it's feather's flowed over his shoulder making it look as if his blond hair had turned black. As he started walking around looking for Kaname he caught sight of another who had a mask nearly identical to his and the other's suit of black resembled Zero's as well. So much for being original Zero thought. He continued on through the throng of people. He caught sight of Kaito in an elaborate owl mask.
After a long time of searching Zero was hot and made for the doors that lead to a garden. Zero inhaled the fresh air as soon as he exited the stuffy room. So far he had yet to catch a glimpse of the Pureblood. Then again Zero could guess that perhaps Kaname enjoyed being able to mingle without being mobbed by adoring Vampires. Still Zero would have liked to talk to him to see if he remembered him although that was a long shot since they had only spoken a few words to each other in the past.
"Takuma. Gees you sure took long enough." Someone said as they grabbed Zero are and pulled him through a door that lead to a dark room. For a moment Zero thought of calling for help but the scent that filled his nostrils brought back a memory of the past and he kept quiet. "I've been waiting for you." Hands wrapped around. Zero's waist and pulled him close. The Human did not resist since he had dreamed of being this close to Kaname.
Zero lifted Kaname's mask as he did the same and leaned in kissing Kaname hard immediately running her tongue over Kaname's lips. A smile spread onto the Vampire's lips. "You sure are eager tonight." Kaname smiled and pinned Zero to the wall.
Zero let himself be pinned while Kaname first ravished his mouth then moved his lips to his throat. He knew that he either had to make a move soon or he was sure to be found out. Since this Takuma person was obviously Kaname's lover he would be able to spot a fake soon. So Zero reversed their positions and knelt in front of Kaname. "What are you…" But Kaname stopped when his pants were undone and his cock was pulled out. "You're really doing this now?"
Zero wasn't dumb enough to answer. He simple darted his tongue out and licked the tip of Kaname's cock. A small moan escaped Kaname's lips and Zero smiled before opening his mouth and taking him in completely. "Oh god Takuma…" Kaname gripped Zero's hair tightly and he tried not to thrust into the warm mouth. It completely slipped his mind that the last time Takuma had given him a blow job it had been pretty horrible.
Smiling Zero started to bob his head slowly at first then he picked up speed. Kaname was soon having trouble holding in moans. Zero reached wrapped his hand around Kaname's bas and moved his head back so that he could play with the head while his hand jerked up and down the thick shaft. "T-t-takuma. I'm so close." Zero increased is efforts. He moved his hand away and deep throated Kaname. This sent the Pureblood over the edge and Zero willing swallowed everything that Kaname ejaculated into his mouth.
Before he stood Zero tided Kaname up. He nuzzled into Kaname's neck and inhaled deeply. He never wanted to forget this scent. The scent of the one that he had loved his whole life. He placed a soft kiss on Kaname's smooth throat before leaving the Pureblood. He hoped that Kaname would not find out the he had engaged in such things with someone that was not his lover. Right now though Zero was making his way as fast as he could toward the exit. Even though he really wanted to hang around there would be a greater possibility of being found out so he left.
"Yo, Zero." Zero stopped and turned to Kaito.
"What?"
"Leaving so early?"
"Yes."
"Sucks. I was going to say you know that you probably have a good chance of getting close to Kuran since his best friend Takuma has a nearly identical outfit on."
"Really?" Zero pretended not to know.
"Yup. But hey if you want to duck out and run away be my guest."
"Later.' Zero said before leaving and walking back toward his aunt's and uncle's. He felt so excited the he wanted to skip. He took off his mask and looked to the sky. Everything seemed so much more beautiful now that he had been close to Kaname after all these years.::
I know Zero's memory was a bit of a stretch…. But I totally wanted to put it in!
