HEY GUYS! If I missed any comments on the last chapter I'm sorry, I've just been really busy! Jeez this is hella late.

I AM EXTREMELY SORRY FOR HOW SHORT THIS CHAPTER IS! I gotta get back into the swing of writing, the next chapter will be longer!

Zero whimpered, clutching his stomach as a fresh way of sickness washed over him. It was so bad that it hurt and all he could do was bear with it.

The smaller Mer heard a soft gasp and looked up at the viewing window to see one of the cleaning boys staring in with a shocked look on his face as his took in Zero's obvious distress. The boy dropped whatever he was holding and darting away, leaving Zero alone in his agony once again.

After a few more seconds he attempted to push himself up, only to collapse right back into the soft sand, a pained noise escaping his vocal cords and vibrating through the water for a few inches, too low to draw any attention.

He heard a commotion and looked back to the window to see his new owner, 'Yuuki' and an older man peering in at him with worried expressions. Just great, the last thing he wanted was an audience.

Yuuki peered through the window, voice sharp with concern as she watched the little Mer struggle to push himself up once again, only to fall again. "What's wrong with him?"

After a few moments of silence the older man, the one she had in charge of all her wildlife departments, replied in a low voice.

"Well, Zero is a submissive Mer from what I saw on his file. Unless he got poisoned, which is highly unlikely, this is his body reacting to extreme stress levels. A submissive is generally fine but it would seem he is more delicate in this department. Since he is not around anything familiar his body is under severe distress. If he had a dominant around to comfort him he would probably be fine but the only one around is Kaname and he doesn't trust him. Also his original tanks were completely warm, I think we may have made a mistake in letting there be an opening on the side of his tank that is out in the ocean. He was not adjusted before-hand so it could also be blamed slightly on sudden climate change. He is used to more warm temperatures. He looks like he feels sick to his stomach, which is probably why. He also looks weak, which can be applied to his submissive nature being in distress like I said before."

The young Kuran heir relaxed slightly, a low sigh escaping her lips. "What can we do? It would seem we rushed things a little too much and I don't want him to suffer any more than he has to."

"I would suggest moving him into the central tank, since it is warmer. But Kaname goes in and out so I don't think that would be a good idea..."

Yuuki froze suddenly, her eyes widening as a curse left her mouth. Then she darted up the steps, yelling over her shoulder. "We need to close the entrance to the central tank before Kaname comes back. Now!"

Zero listened as the voices faded away, he heard a beeping noise and watched as the entrance next to his tank started to close, a panel sliding down. Suddenly a large dark form darted under, barely managing to squeeze through but the almost bullet-like speed getting them through at the last second. Zero, who was right by the glass, whined. He quickly backed away on his elbows, dragging himself away despite the pain.

It would seem he was right to do form because seconds later something large slammed into the glass, shattering at least half of it. The fragments floating for a few seconds before the heavy and thick glass fell into the soft, white sand, sparkling in the light as they did so.

Lavender met wine and the noise that escaped the smaller Mer's throat would have been a growl, if it hadn't been interrupted by another wave of sickness that left Zero gasping for air and holding his middle again.

The pureblood made an almost worried noise and darted closer, his scent washing over Zero. Kaname leaned over him and the silverette shivered as he felt a large hand move his away and cover his little tummy. Warmth instantly spread through him and Zero gasped as what he was almost positive was magic was spread throughout his being, instantly taking the pain and sickness away and leaving him a warm and dopey mess.

The little Mer mewled and arched as the pureblood's hands started to wander after a few moments, moving up to brush against his dusky pink little nipples before moving up further and tracing his lips. Zero moaned lowly and squirmed, heat coiling in his belly as his arousal made itself known in both his scent and his actions.

Kaname's eyes darkened and a low rumbling noise came from his chest, the vibrations washing over Zero in a way that had the smaller male squirming in need.

"Don't you fucking dare!"

Zero's eyes widened as he heard a loud growl vibrate the glass of the viewing window. Yuuki stood there, her eyes blazing and almost glowing as a low rumble was heard. Kaname's eyes narrowed and he snarled at her before his hands left Zero and he darted out of the tank.

Yuuki disappeared from the window and Zero continued to stare at where she once was.

Nothing about the that display was human. Whoever Yuuki Kuran was, she was something supernatural.

Kaname came back about ten minutes later, approaching Zero cautiously as he tried to appear non-threatening.

Zero, who was utterly exhausted from whatever Kaname had done to him earlier, only chirred lowly, his tail swishing in a slight display of annoyance as he blinked sleepily.

A low and happy croon washed over him, making him go lax as that warm hand made contact with his skin again, gliding over his back in a soothing manner. There was no magic this time but the body heat still felt amazing, the larger Mer was like a hot water bottle.

As much as Zero hated to admit it, he honestly had nothing against the powerful Mer, even if he was an ass at times.

Zero hissed in protest as he felt himself being lifted, attempting to squirm away, even as weak as he was. But a low rumble from the other Mer's chest vibrated against him as he was held bridal style in the other's arms and he could do nothing more then relax, his body happily accepting the dominant male's attempts at comforting him.

A sigh of relief left him as they left his tank and warmer waters washed over him, they had obviously adjusted the temperature for him and the warmth seeped into his bones, making him enter a dazed and tired state. Before he could stop himself he dozed off, low croons guiding him even deeper into his warm and dreamless rest.

He would kick the pureblood's ass later, but for now, he needed to restore his strength.

Sorry for the shortness, once again. T-T

Was anyone expecting the twist with Yuuki? Because a few more twists are coming, probably. :')
