Chapter 4

Zero found himself staring at Akachi's door. Akachi gave him all the time he needed. He had to think things over and over again. How could he be sure he made a right decision? He had taken months to make his final decision. 3 to be exact. He sighed he knew he might be asleep but he shook the thought away as he knocked anyway. "Come in" he opened the door to reveal Akachi; he gasped as he stared at the wounded body of the white beauty. "Yes Zero-kun?"

Akachi ignored the pain he felt. He wore only pants and a button up shirt nothing else. His neck revealed with the bruises and scars and his cheek bone held a forming bruise. Zero looked away as he mumbled "I um, thought about what you said."

Zero looked down at his feet not meeting the purebloods eyes. His silver eyes looked at Zero as he frowned. "Zero, I know you have been through a lot."

He stood up as he reached over to comfort the ex-human but he flinched away from his grip. Akachi frowned. He sighed as he started to unbutton his shirt revealing his broad chest as he took off his shirt. Zero glanced up at him as his eyes widen as he stared at the pale muscular figure as he said "What are you doing?"

"Pretending to be a stripper." He rolled his eyes as he tilted his head as Zero stood in shock. Those words were the exact same words Karasu used on his birthday. His gaze landed on Akachi's pale neck. The tattoos on his body wrapped around his chest. "Drink." Akachi Offered. Zero hesitated at first as he leaned closer to Akachi's neck as he inhaled his scent. He licked his neck as he numb the area. He pierced his fangs into Akachi's beautiful neck. The pureblood gasped. Both their eyes turned blood red as Zero pinned him to the bed. Akachi brought a shaky hand to Zero's silver locks as he stroked it. It was like silk.

Zero pulled his fangs out of the purebloods neck as he collapsed on top of him panting. Akachi murmured "Zero" he came back into his senses as he looked down at Akachi. He traced the bruises making Akachi flinch. Zero only frowned. Akachi's silver eyes stared into his lilac eyes. He got off of the pureblood as he said "who did this to you?"

"Don't worry that now Zero I have something else I need to warn you about." Akachi looked away from the ex-humans gaze. His eyes landed on his tattoo, he noticed how it started glowing. "You know the more you take my blood, we will create a bond." Zero's face flushed as he mumbled "I know, I sort of looked it up"

Akachi stood up as he faced Zero. "The bond will protect you no matter what. I will know when you need to feed. Don't deny what you are Zero. It only makes it worst for you as a Level D. I don't want you to fall into a Level E. You are too precious to me and my mother for you to be insane"

Zero stared at Akachi as he spoke. He felt Akachi stroke his hair. His heart warmed up at Akachi's words. He held out his arms as Zero found himself being held by the pureblood. Tears wanted release. No one ever told him that he was precious. He never felt wanted in his life. He felt needed in this world again. He felt- could he dare say it? Loved.

Akachi held his head to his barechest as Zero finally let his tears fall. "I'm tired of fighting; I'm tired of holding back what I have" Zero whispered. The smell of salt filled Akachi's nostrils as he held Zero as if his life depended on it. "You don't ever have to be alone Zero, you have me now. Don't ever forget that."

Zero couldn't stop the tears from falling, he sobbed into the purebloods chest as he cried. No one has ever seen him cry. No one ever seen him act the way he is around Akachi. He can't act the way he does in front of the others with Akachi. They found themselves sliding down to the floor as they sat there. Zero cuddled in Akachi's arms as he cried himself to sleep. He slept peacefully in the purebloods arms. Akachi looked down at Zero. Silver locks block his eyes as he snored soundly. He smiled sadly. "Soon, soon you will understand."

Akachi laid Zero back on his bed as he walked out of the room with a new shirt that was opened revealing his sins. He walked down the steps as he stopped as he stared at Kaname. Kaname pinned him to the stair case as he said "why do you do this to me?" "Because I love the look in your beautiful eyes as I take you away from the hunter." He leaned in to kiss him but Akachi hissed "Leave him out of this Kuran"

Kaname chuckled deep in his throat as he said "You shouldn't have said that" Akachi's eyes widen as he tried to pull away from Kaname. He finally got out of his grip enough to run out of the moon dorms. He ran as far as he could. Feet bare, shirt opened. He stopped as he found his way to a meadow. He looked around at the sky as he watches as the skies turned grey. He fell to his knees as he covered his face. Why him out of all people? Why did he have to suffer from all the pain? His eyes widen as he stood up and ran. Zero was still in his room. But, the only bad thing was. Kaname was there with him.

Zero woke up as he looked around the room. He saw a dark figure as he said "Akachi?" His hunter senses told him it was a pureblood. But, which pureblood was it? He came out of the shadows as Zero tensed up. He watched as Kaname smirked as he said "Oh, what a sight" He looked down at himself as his eyes widen. Where did these markings come from? Kaname took a step forward as Zero started getting off the bed. His eyes landed on his bloody rose which lay across the floor.

He said "What do you want from me Kuran?" He just smiled. He started walking closer to the silver haired teen as he said "Akachi is mine. But, he is very fond of you. So I will have to dispose of you." His eyes widen as he felt himself being lifted. Kaname's eyes turned red as he leaned in to sink his fangs into the hunter's neck.

Akachi ran as fast as he could. He knew he shouldn't have left Zero there with Kaname. He pushed opened the doors only to find them locked. He slammed his fist onto the door as he screamed. His silver eyes turned black as he kicked the doors opened he ran up the steps with stares following him. He ran up to his room he hoped that he wasn't too late.

Zero's eyes widen as the pureblood moaned while licking his neck. Zero tried to push the pureblood away. He felt like he was betraying someone. But, who? "Kuran! Kuran! STOP!" He felt violated. His eyes widen as he felt Kaname run his hand up and down his thigh. He kicked and trashed but everything stopped when there was a smash. The doors flung opened to reveal the white beauty.

"Stay away from him Kuran" He said. As he took a step forward. "I am the one you want. You can have me. Just leave Zero be." Zero's heart fluttered at the words. Akachi would do anything for him. Including give himself up to Kaname for his safety. Kaname only smiled as he dropped Zero. He chuckled as he wrapped his arms around Akachi's waist and kissed him. Anger grew inside Zero. He doesn't even know why he feels like this. Kaname broke the kiss as he stared at Akachi's flushed face. Akachi said "On one condition" Kaname's face fell. He waited for Akachi to speak as he said "If you let me save him. Let me make a bond with him so he can survive" Anger filled Kaname's eyes. He said "I won't let you"

Akachi growled as he said "Then you won't have me" He tried to push him away but Kaname held onto him. Zero watched as he began to stand up. "Fine. But you are mine" Akachi nodded. Kaname left the room. Akachi looked at Zero as he looked away from his eyes. "Zero—"

"Why would you do that! Why would you give yourself to him!" He screamed in his face. Akachi's eyes turned blue as Zero watched him shake with tears in his eyes. Zero's mind went blank as he ran to him and held him in his arms. "I did it for you Zero, I did it for you" He cried into his chest as Zero said "But, why?"

Akachi looked into his eyes as he opened his mouth to speak. "I Love You"
