Author's Note: This is my interpretation of a scene from the manga, chapter 30. Enjoy the madness.

oOo

"I thought I sensed something unpleasant…It's you." Kaname said looking down at Zero from the top of the stairs.

I am greeted as devils are, as devils do.

After a few un-pleasantries, Kaname takes Zero somewhere more private to hold a conversation.

…Never thought I would be alone with him in his bedroom.

"Were you the one who erased Yuki's memory, or not?" Zero's voice was neutral. "Are you involved in Yuki's past, or not?"

Kaname's back is to Zero as he sets papers down on a table.

Zero continued, "And if you can't answer those questions, what could the reason be? Do you have intentions of relieving Yuki's insecurities?"

Kaname brought a hand up to his face. "Then… shall I crush one of Yuki's insecurities right now?" He asked in a low voice.

Zero was launched backwards and slammed into a wall as Kaname pinned him with one arm. Pieces of the wall crack and fall around them. Such force would have killed a normal human, but neither of them is human. Zero's gun is already at Kaname's throat as Kaname's claws are already at his.

There is a tense pause.

"Kill me," Zero says, "If I get a chance, I'll probably shoot you."

The wall splinters further.

"You," Kaname says calmly while Zero's blood pulses beneath his hand, "A vampire's instinct should tell you revere and fear a pure blood… But for you to bare your fangs at me… I truly despise you."

The wall gives way in a loud crash at the same time as a gunshot explodes forth. Suddenly, they are falling into a bathroom on the other side of the wall.

"How many times did you think about killing me?" Kaname asks as a now smoking gun is held to his forehead. "But you wouldn't be satisfied if things went out that easily, would you?"

Zero is leaning against a cracked porcelain bath tub while Kaname is above him, still keeping a hold on his throat. "Pure bloods don't know when to quit?"

A drop of blood falls from Kaname's temple to land on Zero's cheek. "I don't want to hear it from someone who's not serious… Yuki would be sad if I accidentally killed you."

More blood drips onto Zero. It rolls off and down his neck.

Kaname smirks. "Your body is honesty," he says. "You see blood, and your eyes tell me you desire it… It seems there are unhealed scars on Yuki's neck, but Kiriyuu-kun, the intervals between 'the hunger' are growing shorter. Kaname's nails dug into Zero's skin. Kaname rips his hand away.

Blood flies.

Kaname puts his finger to his mouth, "I wonder if you are still able to protect Yuki with this fact."

"You should have just hit me with that first," Zero said while putting his hand to his throat. Blood poured out, but he still pointed the gun at Kaname.

"If I am to do it, it would be now, before you are unable to withstand the unbearable 'hunger' that will assault you." Kaname slowly bent down and took Zero's gun arm in his hand. "Listen, Zero." Kaname was close to Zero as he continued to speak in a low voice, "You should drink my blood now."

"Don't joke…"

"Why would it be a joke? Within my body flows the Kuran pure blood which will certainly lengthen you life. The shadows of insanity will become distant."

Zero could say nothing. His blood continued to poor out.

"It would be a problem if you died now," Kaname continued, "I've let you live this far because you've been useful to Yuki… And I know that you'd never betray her.

"…Just like you, deciding things for me…" Bastard…

"I know," Kaname said, "Because my feelings for Yuki are probably the same as yours."

Zero's breath was becoming heavy. "… I… just want Yuki to be able to laugh from her heart."

"As do I."

The bloody hand that had been trying to stem the flow of blood from Zero's neck came up to his face. "There is no need for her to sacrifice anything."

"That is correct," Kaname stated while closing his eyes.

Yuki…

Zero grabbed Kaname roughly. And then he was doing it. His fangs pierced Kaname's neck while still pointing his gun up at him. Blood poured into his mouth and spilled over. It ran down him and mixed with his own.

"Do not ever forget who the one was that gave you this blood…" Kaname was saying softly.

As Zero gulped the warm red liquid, his wounds began to knit up.

"Zero, you're supposed to be the one that hates vampires more than anyone else. I think you're more vampire-like than any other vampire."

I'm a vampire who hate's vampires… but I'm more like a vampire than any other? I went there for Yuki, but somehow it seems like I got something for myself... Kaname is disgusting. I'm disgusting.

I'm such a hypocrite.
