Once again thank you all and don't forget to fave/follow and leave yet another wonderful review after reading :) Also sorry for the delayed chapter! With Christmas and everything my life has been quite busy! I do not own Vampire Knight!
The soft sounds of birds happily chirping away was the first sign of daylight, though that sign was something that made a certain male extremely nervous. Kaien Cross had been awake for the last several hours, pacing his room nervously in waiting. Why? because he hadn't seen or heard from Kaname Kuran or Zero Kiryuu since their encounter in his office. It put him on edge, a feat that wasn't so easy to do.
It was by 8am and after a call to the moon dorms to ensure Kaname hadn't returned to class that the elder hunter decided to check into Zeros room himself. If either of them were wounded then he would have felt terribly guilty. This bond could go either way after all, to end in love to the point of being together or hate to the point of death. It definitely drew two people together but the result of that intense connection was up to the people it had affected. He didnt tell the males that though, if they knew that they may possibly kill each other then it would put the thought into their heads.
Treading down the hall and finally down to the young hunters room, Kaien placed his ear against the door. There wasnt a single sound being emitted from that room and that was something that certainly put the elder hunter on edge.
A small knock was the only thing indicating someone was waiting on the other side of the door, worrying for the occupants. Kaien hadn't even been sure if anyone was inside, it certainly didn't seem like it.
But after several moments of waiting and no answer, Cross attempted to turn the knob on the door, only for it to refuse to move an inch. Seems like it had been locked, how strange. Lucky for him he held the master key to the rooms and easily slid it into the keyhole. From there the soft click of unlocking could be heard, earning a small victorious smile from the hunter.
Stepping into the room without hesitation, Kaien soon looked up into the rather small space. Though the sight that met his eyes was something that made him double take. What... What was going on? Well, he really didnt need to ask himself that question. It was as plain as day.
Two bodies lay curled up under a thin blanket, pushed together tightly to ensure neither fell off the small single bed. It was quite obvious that those bodies were stark naked, the sheet fitting to both forms rather smugly making the elder hunter choke slightly. By this point he was sure what turn their bonding had taken, something that had surprised him greatly. Then again the two had always been dancing around each other for years, using Yuuki as their excuse to hate each other. But maybe it was more than that, perhaps they were avoiding each other because of the feelings they had been trying to hide.
Either way it didnt matter, they had quite clearly been quite close with each other and had been sleeping it off. That made Kaien smirk cheekily, luckily for him he always carried a certain device in his pocket.. One that would come in handy at this moment.
'Click click'
Two snaps of a camera quickly sounded before the headmaster backed out of the room, locking it behind him as if he hadnt been there in the first place. He needed evidence of this, if the two ever took things further then he could show them this as a lovely moment they shared when they had first gotten together.. Though if things went sour then he could use the image as blackmail. So many possibilities and these images would be the perfect way to do it.
So it was with that same smile that Kaien returned to his office, the sound of a printer soon being heard to anyone who passed by..

Meanwhile...
Soft breaths were felt carressing the tattooed side of a certain hunters neck, a reason that the slim form started to move about on the bed restlessly. Although Zero had slept quite peacefully, something had woken him up.. Something that he hadnt been used to. Though as the silverette tried to turn on the bed, he found that he couldn't.
Confusion crossed the sleepy males face as his amethyst eyes slowly creaked open, his mind slowly reeling up to the present moment. The first issue at hand had been why he was unable to move, a weight seemingly pinning his body down.
That alone was enough for amethyst eyes to fling open, his face paling at the realisation of what had happened last night made it's way into his head. Though that paleness didnt last. A bright crimson seeped its way onto the males face as soon as he brought back all of the details on what had happened, all of the noises and touches he had given and in turn received. Why.. Why had they done something like that?
But to make things worse he should be feeling disgusted and ashamed at everything that had transpired between the two. In fact he should have been in the shower rubbing his skin raw to rid himself of the stench of that bastard. But instead he found himself with his head turned, glancing towards the raven haired vampire.
Dammit! There was that damn feeling again! The fluttering in his stomach and the ache to touch him.. It was enough for him to yank himself from the others embrace. That seemed to be a mistake though as ruby eyes quickly flashed open as if expecting an attack.
Unfortunately for Zero his sudden movements had also pulled the blanket from covering the others body, causing the silverettes eyes to widen and his face to turn to the side from embarrassment. Though it was a little too late for him to stop the blush from springing up into his cheeks. But why.. Why the hell was he acting like a damned girl around this blood sucker. Of course the answer to that was a simple one, but one he wasnt willing to admit.
"G-get out you bastard!"
Though Kaname at first had been slightly confused as to what was going on, his slightly sleepy state had yet to allow his mind to catch up on what had just happened. But just as Zero threw his clothes at him in an attempt to allow the pureblood to cover up, his mind clicked.
What had they just done? Though he knew all to well, he couldnt help but ask himself such an obvious question. The worst of it all had been the fact that he had been the one to initiate this, the one to tell Kiryuu he wanted him. Thats not to say that the hunter didnt put up a fight, he had been just as willing as he had been. Something that had surprised the elder male slightly.
A pillow to the head was enough to snap him out of those troubling thoughts, his ruby eyes glaring up at the silverette with what he thought would be anger. But seeing the males blush and way he curled the blanket around his lean form immediately stopped such thoughts. Regardless of what he had thought he would feel, it seemed he couldnt mustre up such thoughts. That fact alone was enough to frustrate him.
It didnt stop the slight hiss from escaping his lips though, the pureblood pulling on the clothing the hunter had thrown at him. It seemed as though he had some thinking to do and it would take quite a bit of time, he could only hope that the link didnt try to distract such important thoughts, to taint how his mind would usually think and react.
So it was without another word that Kaname left the room, closing the door behind him with a rather loud 'thunk' causing the silverette to jump. He hadnt been paying attention truthfully, instead allowing his mind to wonder to the events of last night, causing him to miss the movements of the raven haired male. Luckily for him he didnt care, he just wished to sleep and forget any of this had ever happened. Though he wouldnt be so lucky..

Two days had passed since that unfortunate incident, both Kaname and Zero spending majority of their time in their own bedroom reflecting what had happened those days before. But that wasnt to say that this link had been any less powerful, it had been eating away at both males so much that Kaname had started to take a full packet of blood tablets in a day, resulting in a bit of nervousness for the students of the night class.
They too had noticed Kaname had been acting differently, as though he had been avoiding everyone as much as he possibly could. It wasnt rare that he locked himself in his room to do whatever he wished, but to do it while taking such large amounts of arteficial blood was something that had them all greatly concerned.
Zero too had been feeling the effects strong blood lust, though he had been fighting it as much as he possibly could. He didnt want to drink from Yuuki, knowing it wouldnt satisfy him but he also didnt wish to go to that blood sucking bastard for any kind of help. Fearing what would happen if he tried. The last thing he wanted was to get carried away and touch the filthy beasts flesh, to get swept away in the emotions that clearly werent his in the first place.
So it had been what led him to Kaiens door so late at night, the thirst having got the best of him by this stage.. If he held out any longer the silverette knew he would fall to the stage of Level E, it was as plain as day to see that outcome. Even now the sweet scent of Kaien filled his nose as he approached the door, something that managed to revolt the younger male in multiple ways. But when the door opened, he didnt expect to see Kaien with a huge smile upon his face, swinging a rather large picture before him.
"Why didnt you tell Daddy you had a boyfriend Zero-Kun! You make me so sad! Especially when it's my darling Kaname~" Singing in that damn sing-song voice as Zero stood before the man slightly dumbfounded, the young hunter eventually snapped himself out of that look and lunged for the picture, though kaien proved to be too quick for him.
"Where the hell did you get that!"
Though Kaien had no time to answer, instead Zero once again lunged forward at his adoptive father, a feirce scowl across his face. Zero didnt wish to see such a thing, something that brought back so many conflicting memories. The initial ones being disgust, but the longer he thought about what had happened the more his thoughts started to turn, to form into one that caused him butterflies.
Moments passed where Zero had attempted to get that picture back, his cheeks ending up as red as fire by the time he had given up. The more he stared at that image the more the memories came back to him, not to mention the rather clear noises he could recall coming from the pureblood.
The reason he had come here was long forgotten as Kaien settled himself back down behind his desk, the picture tucked away safely in his drawer and locked so that Zero had been unable to get it at a later date. Not that he didnt have copies, though he would never tell the younger hunter such a thing. He needed to keep as many on hand as possible just in case the future called for them.
Clearing his throat and straightening his glasses, Kaien soon looked up towards the silverette with an unreadable expression. "Actually i'm rather glad you came here tonight, the school is throwing an event for the end of term and I need you to go into town to retreive some things for me. Be in town at 9am by the water fountain. "
Kaien had spent the entire day planning out the festivities that would take place the coming weekend, not to mention other things he had been planning on Zeros behalf.
The answering grunt was enough of an answer for Kaien to know that Zero would do as asked, the boy being too aggravated to bother replying properly. It seemed his eyes were still glued to that draw the picture had been resting in, pity he wouldnt be able to retreive it. "Now shoo, Yuuki will be beside herself if she knew you were late for patrols. Leave the door open as you go, I'm expecting a visitor shortly." Zero didnt need to be told twice, taking that moment to flee the room as soon as the headmaster had finished speaking, tonight was definitely going to be a long night..

Footsteps quietly started approaching Kaien Cross's office half an hour after Zero had left his pressence, there was no mistaking who it would be, the gentle steps were enough of an indicator of who would be stepping through those doors, not to mention Kaien had called him an hour ago stating he wished to have an important meeting.
That of course was an exaggeration, Kaien just wished to put his rather elaberote plan into motion..
Withtin seconds Kaname Kuran had stepped into the room, knocking once as an indicator that he had arrived. Kaien had stayed seated, knowing that the pureblood would enter as he usually did when meetings like this had been held.
After the rather troubled looking vampire sat down before him, Kaien pushed a glass of rose tea forward, hoping to calm the vampire as best he could. He wouldnt ask what had been on his mind, in fact he was sure he had already known what Kaname was thinking about. Even if he did ask he wouldnt get an answer, as far as Kaname knew no one else but Zero had known what happened between them.
Taking a sip of his own tea, Kaien stared at Kaname for a few moments longer. "Sorry to interrupt your class time Kaname-Kun, but I had forgotten to ask you of an important task I need you to do for me. The school will be holding an event as you know but I need you to retreive some items for me. I'll wirte you out a list. Please be at the water fountain by 9am tomorrow"
And so it was with a small smile that Kaien mentally patted himself on the back, hoping that this small push given to both males would be enough to let things fall into place...
Thank you all for reading! This chapter was slightly smaller than the last ones but I ran out of things to write! Please dont forget to leave me feedback as well as follow/fave.
