Kill Me Softly

-Let the Battle Begin-

Zero stared out of one of the four towering windows that made up his bedroom, glaring down at his would-be master. Zero watched as the noble climbed into the back of a limo to drive away with clenched fists. He had to get out of here.

The hunter knew the task was easier said than done. He couldn't just run away, not like this. He, like everyone else who wasn't human or apart of the hunter's association, knew the seriousness of a pet's ownership. If Zero was caught wearing a collar, he would be taken right back to his master. If he hid, the vampire would find him with a simple click of a button as most collars carried trackers in them. The only way Zero could escape was to unlock the collar via a charm or the actual code or to break it open by force.

Zero quickly dismissed the idea of unlocking the collar with the code because in all likelihood, the collar would be voice activated therefore even if Zero somehow managed to find the code it wouldn't unlock the collar unless the noble- whoever the hell he was- spoke it.

Zero realized that this only left two options; break the collar by force or via a charm.

Choosing the latter, Zero pressed the tips of his fingertips to the leather collar. Whispering words of an ancient language, Zero chose the strongest hunter charm used specifically for unlocking and opening all items. The hunter couldn't remember how many times he's used the charm previously, knowing it was better than any skeleton key he'd ever heard of.

The hunter had barely spoken the last word of the charm when white-hot pain flooded his body. Zero collapsed to the floor, his body locked up, paralyzed in agony as his mouth gaped in a silent scream. He felt as if he was being shocked, electrocuted by the collar. The torture lasted a full five seconds before it relented. Zero remained still, his thoughts of it being a shock from the collar had been correct. His skin burned with the after-shock and his body convulsed in painful shudders. When they finally ceased and his burn skin healed with the aid of his vampiric healing ability. Zero rose from the floor into a sitting position, his mind processing enough thought to know that he wasn't strong enough to stand.

How could the charm fail? The spell had never let him down before- why now? When he needed it the most.

Zero thought about his next move carefully. Charms were clearly out-of-the-question so that probably meant that any attempt to break to collar would also be futile. Zero paused.

He needed help.

He could try calling someone to help him-but who would he call? The association?- they'd probably laugh and celebrate the knowledge that the pesky half-breed was out of their hair. Master Toga?- Zero hadn't heard from him in over a decade and didn't even know how to reach the hunter anyhow. Who else?- no one, that's who.

Zero had always 'gone it alone', nobody else wanted to join him anyway. Ever since that night all those years ago, no one wanted to know Zero; Toga had left, his friends had abandoned him, the association hated him, vampires hunted him and everybody else just ignored him.

Zero suddenly felt weak. Cold, clammy sweat began to cover his trembling body.

Zero had always been knocked down, had always found himself in no-hope situations yet, somehow, he'd been able to pull though alive and virtually unscathed. Even with the death of his parents in that one night of hell all those years ago, Zero had come out alive. But this, this was different. He was trapped and for the first time in his life, Zero couldn't find a way out. He couldn't break the collar and he couldn't unlock it. Come to think of it, Zero had never heard of a pet escaping their master and their title.

Oh God- did that mean…

Zero couldn't escape, he was going to be a pet forever. He was going to be some vampire's plaything until the noble tired of him and even then he wouldn't be free. Zero pulled his knees to his chest and clutched them tightly, restraining the sudden urge to rock back and forth in the attempt to calm himself. The whole situation was too much like that night all those years ago. Zero had found himself at the mercy of a vampire, one who held all the cards. Despite his pleads, his cries of pain, the vampire had slaughtered his family, had kidnapped his brother. In one night Zero had lost everything all because of some vampire and ever since that day Zero had trained to become stronger, to become wiser so that he would never, ever find himself in a situation where he would be at the mercy of another vampire.

Zero felt a hot tear roll down his cheek.

All these years…all his training had been for nothing.

"Can I help you with anything sir?" Zero spun around and shot to his feet. An elderly man dressed in a black suit and a pair of white gloves stood in the doorway.

"W-who are you?" Zero wiped away the single tear that stained his cheeks.

"I am Master Kain's butler- I have been for many years. You may call me Alfred"

"Master who?" The butler paused, shock flitting across his features.

"Master Akatsuki Kain?- the owner of this house…you're master" Zero flinched at the word. Alfred's eyes softened.

"Perhaps we are in need of a late breakfast? You've been asleep for quite some time now, I think it will do you some good to get outside and to have a decent meal."

"Well I-"

"The wardrobe is already stocked, I took the liberty while you were sleeping to get our sizes." Alfred cut across. "Meet me downstairs when you're ready and I'll show you out to the garden."

"I…okay" Zero agreed hoarsely, his throat was still tight. The butler gave a single nod before leaving the room. For a moment Zero stood still, confused as to what he should do. Realizing he didn't have anything else to do and that he was indeed hungry, Zero walked over to the large wardrobe and pulled open the doors.

Alfred hadn't been joking, the wardrobe was more than stocked- it was packed full. From what he could see, The butler had chosen a range of semi-formal clothes, including a number of dress pants, shirts, shoes and ties. There was even a tuxedo and a number of business suits, all of which, were tagged with designer labels. The only clothes that came close to casual was the assorted pairs of jeans and singlets. Zero decided on a pair of Armani jeans, a white singlet, sneakers and a black dress shirt. He pushed the long sleeves up to his elbows and left the front of the shirt unbuttoned.

Zero left his bedroom and found himself in a long hall way. He followed the hallway along until he came to a grand staircase. Alfred was waiting for him at the bottom, a silver tray in his hands.

"Sir your breakfast is ready, shall I show you to the garden now? It might be good to get some fresh air" Zero nodded shyly.

"Okay" The butler lead the way out through a back door. The back of the manor was decorated in a lavish Japanese garden with a large Koi pond taking the central focus of the garden. Alfred lead him over a miniature stone bridge to a private grotto where a table and two chairs sat, overlooking the pond.

Alfred set the tray down.

"Sit, please" Zero sat down obediently and Alfred took the remaining chair after lifting the over off the plate to reveal a large breakfast of eggs, bacon, toast and sausages. Zero inspected it curiously.

"It's not poisoned" Alfred mocked warmly. Zero felt a faint blush of embarrassment cross his cheeks.

"Sorry, I don't usually get to eat proper meals when I'm out on missions."

"Missions?"

"I'm a hunter" Alfred raised his eyebrows in surprise.

"That must make things difficult" the butler murmured quietly. Zero nodded. There was a pause. Zero cleared his throat awkwardly.

"What about you? You're not a vampire" Alfred chuckled.

"Indeed I'm not." It was true, the man was no vampire and he wore no sign of ownership.

"So why are you here?- did they buy you too?" the butler nodded.

"I was brought as pet, many years ago for Akatsuki's father; Master Jun Kain. I was a few years younger than you when I was pulled off the streets and sold off in the slave house."

"But what about your collar?"

"It fell off."

"Fell off?" Zero echoed, his eyebrows raised.

"Yes- when a master dies, the pet collar unlocks automatically." Zero's eyes widened in shock. "You didn't know?" the hunter shook his head. "A pet's collar is bound to their master so when their master dies that bond is broken and so the collar will unlock."

"So a pet can be free?" Zero asked sitting up in interest.

"Not quite, all pets are registered. It's only when the master cancels that registration that the pet is no longer a classed as a pet."

"And if the registration isn't canceled?"

"Then the pet's ownership goes directly to the inheritant of the master's property"

"So you went to Akatsuki?"

"Yes."

"But he didn't make you wear another collar?" Alfred chuckled.

"No, he didn't want me as a pet or a slave. He cancelled my registration and set me free."

"So why are you still here?" Alfred sighed.

"Because I couldn't leave. I have so many memories with this family and the Kain's have always been good to me." Zero almost chocked on his bacon.

"What?"

"I grew up with Akatsuki and I had been Jun's pet for over thirty years when he died. I couldn't leave. This was my home"

"So you stayed?"

"Yes, Akatsuki tried to make me a permanent guest in his house but I refused. I had been a pet for so long, I didn't know how to go back to my old life. I eventually persuaded Akatsuki to hire me as his butler." Zero frowned in confusion. Why would anyone choose servitude over freedom? Alfred smiled warmly. "I know it doesn't any sense to you, but it is what it is. I'm happy here and I wouldn't see myself anywhere else." Zero shook his head still confused, but the butler didn't make any further comment. When Zero was finished with his breakfast Alfred recovered the plate and picked up the tray.

"You are free to explore the manor and to come and go as you please, however, please let me know when you are leaving, where you are going and what time you can be expected back so that I may inform Master Kain. If you are required by Akatsuki, the communication device in your collar will activate."

"Riigght.."

Communication device? Zero never knew collars were so hi-tech.

"Dinner will be served at nine in the dinning room. If you can't find it, just wait in your room and I'll get you. If you need anything before then please feel free to ask Mabel, the house cook, or either myself to fetch you something. Oh and if you need anything at all, please feel free to contact me. My room is the last door to the right of the staircase."

"Thankyou Alfred" Zero meant his words. Without realizing it, the butler had giving him a piece of priceless information.

"No problem sir." The butler left and Zero turned to gazing out at the Koi pond, watching the large colored fish glide peacefully through the water, his thoughts turning.

How could I have given up so easily? Zero wondered, disgusted with himself. He had allowed his fear of the past, of the situation to cloud his mind. There was always a way out for him and in this case all he had to do was exactly what he'd trained his whole life to do;

Kill.

Once Kain was dead and his collar removed, Zero would be able to flee and go into hiding before anyone could notice him on the register. He would probably have to move to the other side of the country where no one would recognize him. He couldn't stay with the association, Zero knew. He sighed. It was a loss on his part, he pretty much lived for the association and their work, but he could still kill vampires nevertheless.

Zero felt adrenaline trickle into his veins, he could almost taste his freedom.

Zero pushed away his original helplessness, pushed aside his fear of the past. He had to kill Akatsuki Kain, the only question was how? He didn't have his anti-vampire weapon and what charms he knew weren't strong enough to defeat a high-ranking noble especially when he wore a collar that would probably zap him the moment he actually used a charm.

Zero sighed in frustration. He had the perfect opportunity but no way to see it through. Knowing that he couldn't rush the matter, Zero realised that although he had a chance to be free- or free enough to make a decent escape- he was still trapped as a Kain's pet for the time being but that didn't mean he had to roll over and play dead. Zero clenched his fists in determination and anger. He wasn't going to make it any easier for his captor. He was not going to bow down to his master's wishes and let the vampire do whatever the hell he wanted- he still had his pride after all.

Zero felt his anger rise up, he used it to fuel his thoughts.

There was no way he was going to play the victim.

"…I'm terribly sorry Master Kain I had no idea that such measures were being used on the boy-"

"I don't want excuses, I just want to make sure it never happens again otherwise you'll be receiving more than one phone call."

"Of course Master Kain, I apologise for-" Akatsuki hung up. With a sigh he rubbed his temples, why did people have to grovel so much?

"Was that the Slave house owner?" Kain looked up into a pair of brilliant green eyes, illuminated by the flickering lights of Kain's club Blackout.

"Takuma" Akatsuki greeted, standing up to shake the blonde's hand. "And you've brought Senri and Ruka with you." Kain greeted the other nobles with a courteous nod. They all took a seat in the private booth.

"Nothing too serious I hope?" Takuma continued, clearly he was still concerned about Kain's random phone call to him at six in the afternoon.

"The slave house gave a lethal dose of sedative to Zero"

"Kain that's terrible" Ruka exclaimed, though her voice still carried her normal bored tones. "Is he better now?"

"I ended up having to revive him with my blood." The three nobles shared surprised glances. Takuma cleared his throat.

"Well it's good to hear that Zero is well, what about you Kain?" Akatsuki didn't miss the definite concern in his gaze.

"Fine, probably getting less sleep than usual but otherwise fine." Kain waited for some snide comment about his lack of sleep being caused by Zero's ownership from his cousin only to realise the troublemaker was not present.

"Where's Aidou?"

"He seems to have taken a page out of your book and kept to himself" Senri drawled.

"Really?"

"Yes, ever since he got that pet- I can't say that I'm complaining though" the model's eyes lit up suggestively at his partner.

"Senri and I have planned our second honeymoon" Takuma announced proudly. Ruka rolled her eyes, all this lovey-dovey stuff was driving her up the wall.

"Where are you going this time?" She asked, clearly bored. The lovers ignored her tone.

"Tahiti, apparently it's quite beautiful this time of year" Takuma beamed.

"Well the best of luck to you, hopefully you're trip won't be cut short- how long are you leaving for?"

"Just a few weeks, I have to get back to work soon" Shiki grumbled.

"Okay, I think I've had enough honeymoon talk for one night- who wants to dance?" Ruka asked draining her glass and rising to her feet. Shiki looked at Takuma in a silent question. Takuma responded in a nod.

"I'll join you Ruka" Senri kissed his lover on the cheek before rising and escorting the ash blonde to the dance floor.

"So" Takuma began. "What's really going on" Akatsuki sighed.

"I don't know what you're talking about"

"Akatsuki" Takuma warned. "Since when have you accepted a bite- especially from someone you've barely known for three days?" Kain paused and looked out to the dancefloor, his eyes transfixed by the movement of the dancers.

"I didn't want to lose him." Now it was Takuma's turn to pause.

"You want to elaborate on that?" Akatsuki sighed loudly.

"Not really." Takuma waited. "I can't describe it. When I knew Zero was going to die I just… I couldn't let him go. I thought I was going to lose something very dear to me if I did." Kain admitted. Choosing his words carefully so that the conversation stayed away from the fact that he was lonely. Nobody knew about his feelings, although Kain was pretty sure Takuma had guessed them by now as well as Alfred and Peter, but they never brought it up and Akatsuki wanted it to stay that way.

"So this 'Zero' is important to you?"

"You could say that." Takuma smiled warmly.

"It's not unusual," Kain glanced at the blond. "Feeling for a pet I mean" Takuma clarified.

"I know, I just didn't think it would happen so soon."

"It is strange, but not unheard of" the noble reassured. "I mean look at Ruka" Kain' gaze immediately shifted to the ash-blonde moving on the dance floor, catching eyes from all across the room.

"Excuse me?"

"Ruka and her pet Rima." Akatsuki gave Takuma a blank look. "They have feelings for each other?"

"They what?" Takuma grinned.

"Well Ruka brought Rima for more of a friend than a pet yes? Well now it seems Ruka's got deeper feelings for her pet than she lets on"

"And she told you this?"

"Of course not, it's blatantly obvious when they're together, the way she looks at Rima, adjusts the girl's hair, the touches that last a little longer than necessary-"

"Takuma, anyone would think you're a stalker." Kain mocked.

"I only say what I see, and Ruka acts exactly the same way as I acted with Senri when we were at Cross Academy" Kain gave a small smile. Shiki and Takuma had been friends for years and Takuma had been crushing on the young model for just as long, it took forever for them to finally realise that they both had the same feelings for each other.

"So what? Ruka's got googoo eyes for her pet"

"Apparently so." Akatsuki frowned. The situation was nothing out of the ordinary, masters fell for their pets all the time and vice-versa, they still carried on with their duties as a noble and normally married other nobles too. The only strange thing about the situation was that it was Ruka; the same Ruka who had spent the last hundred years or so in love with a certain Pureblood and the very same Ruka who had been suffering ever since that certain Pureblood married his sister Yuki.

"Does this mean that she's over Kaname?"

"I don't think so, she's simply got something, or more correctly someone else to occupy her thoughts."

"Good for her."

"What about you Kain? Are you feeling any better having a special guest in your house?"

"I'm not sure yet, I haven't spent enough time with him yet to decide."

"So why are you out here instead of at home?"

"I actually should be heading home right now"

"Oh?" Kain drained the remains of his glass.

"I have a dinner date" Takuma beamed.

"Call me- just not at six in the morning"

"Will do." Akatsuki passed the dance floor to the exit, giving a small wave to Ruka and Shiki who were still out on the dance floor. His limo pulled up just as Kain walked outside.

"Where to Master Kain?"

"Home Dorian"

"Right away sir." Akatsuki settled into the backseat. After his talk with Takuma, he felt anxious to get back home to Zero. After their little encounter this morning the hunter was no doubt fuming over it and Kain would be the focus of his wrath. If the boy acted out on that rage, however, Akatsuki might just have to punish him.

The noble grinned.

Now that didn't seem like a bad idea at all.

Zero was already glaring before Akatsuki had entered the room. The bastard was late. Despite Alfred's comments that it was a miracle for Kain to even think about coming home at this hour –which was considered 'early' in Akasuki's book via his job- Zero was still well and truly pissed at the noble for not only buying his as a pet, but for being late on the first occasion where Zero's presence had been demanded.

Zero let out a bored sigh, his stomach growling like a wild animal. Since when did people have dinner this late?

Stuck up nobles that's who Zero mused.

When Alfred finally admitted Akatsuki into the dinning room, it was fifteen minutes past the scheduled time. Without a word of apology to Alfred or Zero, the noble sat down at the opposite end of the mahogany table. An amused smirk on his lips at Zero look of irritation.

"How was your day Zero? I hope Alfred showed you around" Akatsuki asked politely. Zero could've groaned in frustration. He detested small talk.

"I am more than capable of seeing myself around" Zero quipped just as Alfred served their meals. Zero instantly dug in, eager to silence the rumbling beast knowing all food from Mabel's kitchen was cooked to perfection.

"I never doubted your capability Zero" Akatsuki replied smirking like a shark while his voice remained in a soft, polite tone which could be described seductive like velvet.

Like a lion before it pounces on the lamb Zero thought irritably, stabbing at his food. Then inwardly curing himself when he realised he had just referred to himself as a lamb.

Seeing that Zero was not going to comment on his response, Kain continued.

"My day was quite boring, thank you for asking"

"You're late."

"You were worried?"

"No, I just didn't know if I should be pulling out the streamers when I turned on the news to see that some noble bastard had been run over." The whole room was silent. Alfred stood in the corner, not daring to breathe. Akatsuki raised a single eyebrow in questioning. Zero realised he probably put too much into his last comment.

Zero finally turned to the noble, still glaring.

"Now, can we stop this small-talking shit?" Alfred decided that now would be the best time to collect their empty plates and leave the room to fetch the dessert.

Kain leaned his elbows on the table, lightly clasped his hands together and propped them under his chin.

"You certainly do have a wicked tongue, surely it could be put to better use?"

Zero felt a flush of embarrassment when Kain's eyes narrowed in a way that told Zero just how he was imagining what 'better use' was.

"That colour on your skin is quite lovely, Zero" Akatsuki purred.

I wonder what he'll look like after I'm done with him. Kain thought sinfully as images of Zero hot and breathless beneath him flitted though his mind.

Zero's flush deepened to a darker shade of red.

"Pervert." Zero muttered quietly.

"Idiot." Akatsuki shot back.

"Bastard."

"Pet."

"Scum."

"Now was that really appropriate?"

"You're the vampire, you tell me" Zero knew he was being childish, they both were, but somehow he didn't feel quite on edge when they argued like this.

"E' tu?"

"Shut up" the noble restrained his smirk.

"You have an issue with being a vampire?"

"I'm a Hunter, hating vampires kinda comes with the job description." Alfred re-entered the room and served up the dessert.

"What about hating yourself?"

Zero suddenly didn't fell all that hungry anymore. He picked up his spoon anyhow.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He muttered. Akatsuki let out a small sigh.

"I know self-pity when I see it"

"What do you want? An applause?"

"You're avoiding the question"

"What question?"

"Why do you hate vampires?"

"I already told you- I'm a hunter"

"Not all hunters hate vampires Zero"

"Yeah, well all the one's I've met have." Which was pretty much everyone at the association, just look at the way they had treated him.

"Zero" Kain warned.

"My parents were murdered by a vampire." Zero summed up quietly, leaving out the fact that his twin brother had led the bitch straight too them, stood back at watched while his family was brutalised before his eyes and then left with the monster.

"They were hunters too?"

"Yeah... it was a pureblood." Which meant his parent's never received any justice. After all, who in their right mind would go after a pureblood?

"I'm sorry" Akatsuki murmured, his voice much softer and the smirk wiped from his face.

"Yeah… whatever." Zero forced a mouthful of dessert past his lips. It tasted like ash in his mouth.

"Was he the one who turned you?"

"Yeah, she did and she didn't turn me- she bit me, so now at any moment I could sink to level E." There was a pause.

"The slave house failed to mention that bit of information."

"I'm sorry to be such an inconvenience to you." Zero snapped, pushing away his leftovers and standing to leave.

Screw this.

Akatsuki was at his side in an instant, gripping his arm and holding him back.

"You're not an 'inconvenience to me' as you so lightly put it." Kain tone was soft, yet firm. "Secondly you don't have to worry about becoming a level E- my blood is pure enough to prevent the transformation if it is given on a regular basis."

"That's such a relief" Zero spoke sarcastically through gritted teeth and turned to leave again. Kain held him still.

"I'm sorry about your parents, truly I am." Zero looked into his soft amber eyes, which held the same pain as Zero's. The hunter remembered that the noble had also lost a father.

Well at least they weren't murdered. Zero sulked.

"Yeah…right- can I go now?" the noble's eyes hardened instantly, clearly he didn't like having his feelings dismissed so easily.

"Not yet, I think it's time we put an end to that tiresome glare you've been giving me all night." Zero noticed in the corner of his eye that Alfred had decided to quickly leave the room. His eyes flicked back to Kain.

"Wha-"

Kain's mouth on Zero's cut off Zero's questioning response. For a split-second, Zero's brain was unable to process thought. When he recovered, Zero raised his arms to shove against the noble's chest, but older vampire was much stronger and unable to moved. Before Zero could even try to stop him, Kain had managed to capture the back of Zero's head in one hand, his fingers weaving into the satiny silver hair that graced Zero's head while his other arm wrapped round Zero's waist firmly securing the hunter to him.

Zero struggled harder, but the more he tried to break free, the more impossible Akatsuki's embrace became. A mountain would've been easier to move than this man of vampiric status. Zero's heart pounded harder when the noble came nearer, Kain's thighs crowding the hunter's and his mouth moving teasingly against his lips, seeking any response. Akatsuki held the hunter tight, so close that Zero couldn't even bring his knee up and despite Zero's continued struggles, the vampire held him with mortifying ease.

Realising resistance was futile and that the sooner Zero stopped fighting to sooner it would be over and done with, the hunter froze, staying as stiff as a board, unresponsive to any and all touches including the nimble fingers that were now massaging his scalp roughly in passion. Zero kept his eyes wide open refusing to yield.

It was only when Zero calmed his struggles did he realise that he felt more irritated than fearful, outrage more than terror for the man wasn't harming him in anyway. The arms that held him captive were firm, but not constricting. He held Zero close, but not violently so. And his lips at Zero's mouth were taunting, coxing a response from the hunter rather than forcing him to surrender.

At this knowledge, Zero relaxed. Although he was still tense he made enough of a change that Akatsuki raised his head.

"That's right Zero, just relax." Zero growled at the noble's tone.

"You fucking bas-" Zero realized his mistake the moment Akatsuki's soft tongue broke past Zero's now open lips. It delved in, searching for something- God knows what. Zero growled, unable to show any other sort of distaste. Kain moaned softly around his growl. The hunter snarled at Kain's response and bit down one the soft flesh invading his mouth.

Hard.

The noble hissed angrily in protest and began to pull away when suddenly, Zero was now the one pulling the vampire closer. Bloodlust invaded Zero's senses as thin, droplets of blood began to leak from the noble's tongue. Savagely Zero sucked the tongue deep into his mouth, savouring the nectar that fell from it, his own tongue brushing against Akatsuki's in the attempt to gather more.

Zero's vision was swimming in red so when Kain's moan filled his ears, he growled back in response, frustrated at the rapidly healing wound. He continued to suck angrily on the soft flesh, demanding more of the now closed wound and even considering biting it again just to get more of the sweet nectar when reality hit him like a steel wall.

Zero ripped away from Kain, the noble however still held him in his grasp. Amused and lustful amber eyes met horrified and confused amethyst ones.

"Why Zero if you wanted a drink, all you had to do was ask."

WWOOOOOO!

Okay that's all for now, I know I uploaded this one a bit earlier than expected, but what can I say this chapter just flowed. I soo wanted to continue it and make it longer to the next day when Zero gets his first proper punishment but I thought I would leave you all on a bit of a teaser for what's coming up in the next chapter.

Oh man I so can't wait to get started on the next chap!

Should upload within the next week or so depending on how the chapter goes.

Thankyou for all the reviews so far, I can't tell you how excited I get every time someone takes the time just to write down a comment, makes me feel so special lol.

Keep reviewing!
