Hello dear readers! This should have been up before two week up ago, but my beta reader isn'tt feeling well! So I updated this by myself! Wish you would enjoy this! :D

Plan in Motion
Haruka's heart was smashed into pieces when he heard Kaname's following words, '' Sorry father, I can't forgive you...'' Kaname continued his sentence, but the other words didn't reached the pure-blood's ears. His only hope for happiness shattered into pieces.
Haruka clutched his hair tightly, shaking his head in denial. First Rido left him..then Juuri..now his own son. Was he so despicable to begin with? If he is, no wonder his family left him.
Haruka had no right to complain. Every bad thing that happened to him was his own damn fault. Nothing could change his bad luck. Fate was cruel to him from the beginning. Why live in a world where there is only pain to come? He should have died with his parents in the accident.
Engrossed in deadly thoughts, Haruka didn't sense the upcoming presence behind him. He was startled when he small arms brought him to an embrace. ''Father, you really have to quit your half-listening habit.'' Kaname smiled as he hugged his only parent tighter. 'It won't be long before my whole family would be completed.'
Haruka turned his watery gaze to his son, finding amusing wine-red eyes looking at him. 'Great. Now Kaname is making fun of me. Right about now, I must be looking like a clown in a circus. ' The pure-blood thought in sarcasm. ''Why do I have to listen more when you made your point very clear, Kaname?" Standing up, Haruka trudged his way to his bedroom, but was stopped when something tugged his shirt.
''Yes, Papa. I made my point very clear, but you didn't listen half of it. Now please pay attention to me and listen my sentence carefully." Inhaling a deep breath, Kaname continued, "I said that I can't forgive you, but I still can give you a chance.'' Kaname tugged his Father's shirt tighter to bring him down.
Oh...that wasn't what he was expecting, but it was still pleasant no gratifying to hear all of this. Haruka's eyes brightened considerably. Little Kaname was giving him a chance?.. This was the happiest thing that happened this past few years...and Kaname had called him Papa! Kaname was giving him chance to be a better Papa. No happiness can be compared to this.
His son's former-self was finally returning. Wrapping his arms around the small body, Haruka hugged his beloved Kaname tighter. Finally, he was able to have some happiness in this world...
''Kaname, honey. Thank you for giving me this chance. I promise I won't waste this happiness you have gave him.'' Haruka kissed his child's forehead lovingly and picked Kaname up in his arms, earning a yelp in return.
''Papa, what are you doing? I am a grown-up boy! Please put me down.'' Kaname protested halfheartedly. Embarrassed from his Papa's antics, Kaname buried his face on the the older pure-blood's neck. 'Um..Papa's blood smells so delicious. I am hungry all of a sudden.'
''Kaname, in front of my eyes you are still my adorable, small son.'' Haruka laughed wholeheartedly. His son was just too cute. Thinking of himself grown up.
Feeling tickling, his gaze traveled to see Kaname nuzzling his neck hungrily. ''Kaname, when was the last time you drank blood?"
Kaname's crimson eyes met wine-red ones in question, but still replied nonetheless, ''I drank blood tablets this morning.''
Haruka arched his left eyebrow at the definite answer. He didn't know whether to scold his son or be proud of him. ''Kaname when did you drink real blood?" Haruka specifically emphasized the word 'real'
Kaname still looking at his Papa's face, answered in a lost voice. '' Umm...when Mama died...'' Suddenly, tears gathered ruefully in the child's eyes when the death of his mother entered his mind.
A painful pang hit Haruka's heart his son broke down in sobs. The most shocking thing was that Kaname hadn't drunk any real blood from then. What a horrible parent he is! No wonder Kaname can't forgive him. '' Dear, you haven't drank blood from then?", before Kaname could protest he drank the blood tablets, he added quickly, ''I mean real blood. I thought you were drinking from Aido-kun.'' The older pure-blood really thought that Kaname's butler was giving his own blood to nourish his son.
''I am not drinking from Hana-niichan. After Mama's death, I put myself into blood tablets.'' Kaname's lips turned into a small frown as he wiped his tears from his eyes. He still remembered the gross taste of the tablet when he first tried, but it didn't last for long. When the vampire scientists made the tablets more 'edible', the young pure-blood specially met the scientists and thanked them for the successful experiment.
Haruka's mouth gaped. When did Kaname became so mature? Putting himself into blood tablets instead of asking him. Well, he couldn't say he was the best choice, but still Kaname could drink from Aido or someone else he trusts. What can I do with a son who is full of surprises?
''Kaname, you should have drunk real blood. It won't do you good if you start drinking blood tablets from such an early age. Now let's go to our room and then you will drink from me. No protesting.'' Slightly scolding his son, he rushed to his bedroom with Kaname in his arms.
''But what about the blood tablets?" Kaname still protested when his father asked him not to. It was a part of his personality to rebel against something. Kaname just loved to switch from his 'good- boy mode to his 'bad-boy mode.'
''They can just go to hell.'' Haruka lips moved upward when a laugh escaped Kaname's mouth.
''Daddy, I missed you.'' Zero rushed forward and glombed his Daddy. He had seen his Daddy this morning, but still missed him.
''Missed you too, my prince.'' Rido said while embracing his beloved child. Picking Zero up, he made his way to the sofa, where he was currently sitting before Zero barged in happily.
Sitting comfortably with Zero in his laps, he asked the boy about his day, '' Zero-chan, how was your day at the park? Did you enjoy?"
''Oh yes, Daddy! Today was the best day ever! I made a new friend today. Even if that stupid brunet was annoying at first, we became great friends afterward. It all thanks to you that I made a new friend today.'' Rambling happily, Zero's eyes sparkled in joyfulness.
Rido smiled as he looked at Zero being so happy. It hurt a little bit that Zero wasn't entire happy with him, but at the same he was glad that Zero found someone who makes him smile like that.
''Ze-chan, you should thank Yuki for this. She was the one who asked me to let you go to the park. By the way, what's name of your stupid, brunet friend?'' Rido asked, suddenly feeling very curious to know the boy's name.
''Daddy~ You can't call him with those adjectives. Only I am allowed to do that! Ummph!'' Zero pouted. He didn't like his Daddy to call Kaname like that. For some reason, he felt that he has the only right to call Kaname anything he wants.
''Okay, okay. I apologize. So what's the boy's name?'' Rido apologized. His eyes shimmered in interest when he saw his little angel being so mad. This boy really had an impact on Zero.
''Forgive you. My new friend's name is Kaname Kur-" Zero slapped his hand over his mouth before he could reveal anything more. He was so in big trouble now...
''Kaname what?" Rido asked, his heart beating faster for an unknown reason. The last name couldn't be Kuran, right?
Little Zero had to think fast before hell breaks loose. What other name could be start with the prefix Kur-? Kurouso? No, his Daddy already know this person. 'Think fast Zero.' The silver-haired boy encouraged himself to think faster. 'Kur, Kure, how about Kurenai? She is a classmate of mine that Daddy doesn't know. Really hope this name works.'
''Kaname Kurenai.'' Zero replied. He was feeling guilty to tell a lie, but it had to be done for everyone's sake. He knows his Daddy would forgive him.
''Oh.. I see..'' Guess his presumption was wrong after all. He didn't how he would handle the situation if the last name would be Kuran.
''Daddy, Can I ask you a favor?" Seeing the nod from his Daddy, he continued, ''Could you possibly meet Kaname's Dad? That way you could trust Kaname and maybe you could friends with his Dad." Zero reasoned with his Daddy, hoping he would accept. If his Daddy won't accept, he would just plead more.
Rido sighed heavily. His son had a point. It wouldn't do him a great damage if he met Kaname's Dad. With that conclusion, he nodded his head in agreement.
The thing that the pure-blood didn't know was how wrong he was. This future meeting would change his life for ever...
A yawn escaped Kaname as he nuzzled his Papa's chest. He was now so sleepy now that he had drank his Papa's delicious blood. Stifling another yawn, Kaname asked his favor before he went to his dreamland. ''Papa, may I stay over Zero's place tomorrow?"
The young pure-blood had already told his Papa about Zero being his new friend and all. He also asked if his Papa could to meet Zero's Father. His Papa was reluctant at first, but when he made his puppy eyes, his Papa agreed in no time. Kaname's puppy eyes sure came handy.
''Umm... from your description Zero seems a sweet boy and I think you like him.'' His suspicion was confirmed when Kaname blushed. Acting if he didn't saw, he smiled as he continued his sentence, '' I decided you can stay over Zero's place." Kaname's eyes brightened in happiness and he hugged his Papa. This side of him Kaname always wanted to see. He was glad that he gave this chance to his Papa.
'' Thank you, Papa.'' Closing his eyes, Kaname thanked sleepily. His eyelids closing by the seconds passed.
''Your welcome, my son.'' Haruka, bringing Kaname closer to him, also fell asleep afterward.
Rido, kissing Zero's forehead, straightened up and soothed down his clothing. He was just his way to go to meet Kaname's Dad. Today, Kaname is also coming to stay over. He would have denied his son's request, but to see Zero so happy, he just couldn't say no.
Rido would just wait to see how this Kaname boy was then go out to meet the boy's parent. He couldn't trust Zero to a stranger. The thing that confused him was why hadn't the boy's Dad come to meet him in his home instead wait for him at the Square Plaza? Something is definitely wrong, but Rido ignored his warning insticts.
''Oh! Papa! Look! Kaname is here!" Zero pointed at the limo, where a young boy came out of it. Skipping happily, he went to greet Kaname.
Rido's gaze followed Zero's figure and stopped at the brunet, who he assumed was Kaname. The thing that shocked him was that this young boy seemed a lot like the younger-self of Haruka. This boy couldn't be related to Haruka, could he? He couldn't feel any pure-blood aura around this boy.
Rido came out of his thoughts when the new friend of Zero introduced himself, '' Its nice to meet you, Rido-san. My name is Kaname. Zero has told me everything about you. Its great to finally meet you.'' Kaname smiled and shook his uncle's hand even if the former person didn't know about this fact.
Smiling also, Rido replied, ''Nice to meet you too, Kaname-kun. You really are a good boy as my son said.'' He could tell by the appearance of Kaname that he comes from a good family and by the look of his limo he is rich too.
Rido doesn't care if Kaname came from a rich family or not, he just wanted to entrust his son to someone who would be good friends with Zero and care for his prince. By his instincts, Rido could tell that Kaname was the right person. The gentle eyes of this boy told him everything.
''Kaname-kun, please take care of Zero until I am away.'' Ruffling the Kaname's brown hair fondly, he made his way to Zero and once again kissed his angel on the forehead before taking his leave.
''Kaname, let's go to my room. I have the newest games in market. Wanna play it with me?" Zero jumped in excitement. This day cannot get any better.
Before Kaname could answer, Zero grabbed his arm and pulled him into his room.
''Wah~..Zero-kun's father is late. Hope he comes in ten minutes or I will leave.'' Haruka tapped his foot impatiently on the floor while he looked at his watch. He was waiting here like half an hour. The pure-blood wasn't the person who could wait patiently. He just prayed Kaname wouldn't kill him for not meeting Zero's father.
Haruka came out of his musings when a familiar voice asked him from behind, ''Are you Kaname-kun's Dad?"
''Finally, you came!You know you shouldn't make a person wait.'' Haruka turned himself to see that familiar face he missed so much. Eyes as size of a soccer, Haruka's mouth gaped at the sight. Dressed in maroon and black clothes, his big brother was standing before him with the same expression he has on his face at the moment.
''Haruka...'' Rido managed to say through his dry throat. The painful memories invading his mind again. Why should he meet Haruka after all this time?
''Rido...'' Haruka whispered in a lost voice. Finally, his wishes are coming true by one after another. He is seeing his older brother again...
The two gazed at each others eyes. Lost feelings resurfacing them. This meeting would decide their lives forever.
''Kaname, lets go to bed. I am sleepy.'' Zero stretched his hands, feeling sleepy all of a sudden. Kaname and he had so much fun playing with each other. He wished that this day would be like other days of his life.
''Okay Zero.'' Standing up, Kaname went over to where Zero was. He took of his shoes and socks off and lay beside a sleepy Zero.
Zero coming closer to Kaname, asked in a soft voice, ''Kaname, how did you hide your pure-blood aura?" His daddy and he used the spell that Yuki had given them to hide their auras. They just couldn't understand where the brunette had found such a powerful spell...
''The spell that Yuki-san gave me.'' Kaname replied as it was the most obvious thing.
''Oh..'' That wasn't a surprise.
Scooting a little closer more until they were bodies were almost touching, Zero said cutely as he hugged his friend, ''I like you Kaname.''
Smiling gently, Kaname replied as he hugged his silver angel tighter, ''Same here.''
'Wondering what's happening there. Wish everything would be alright.' Zero prayed with his whole heart as he fall into dreamland.
Weeping his eyes in bored-room, he waited patiently at the staircase for the arrival of his daddy. Kaname had already left in the morning when his driver came to pick him up. He wished the older pure-blood would stay with him more...but Kaname had apparently somewhere to go.
His daddy was missing for a long time. Its already three o'clock in the afternoon. He prayed that his daddy would be alright and nothing bad happened with Haruka-san last night.
Zero's heart thumped loudly when the door creaked open and his daddy came in. His Daddy's hair was shielding his face so he couldn't know what expression was on his Daddy's face.
Young Zero was startled when his daddy suddenly grabbed him and brought him to a tight hug. Tears falling from his eyes to the younger one's shoulder.
Before Zero could ask what was wrong, Rido hugged his son tighter and a sob broke from him. With a broken voice he whispered, ''Haruka..."
Zero's heart pounded faster as he heard the next words. This was going to change his whole world. The words that would hurt him more than anything.
'' You can't meet Kaname-kun anymore."
Hoho! A cliffy~ Did you like it? *giggles* Poor Zero, he can't meet Kana-chan anymore! Why? Can't tell you! *evil laugh*
See you in the next chappy!
