Author's note:
Thank you everyone!! I thought no one would review this again because I'm really slow at updates. So, I think I really sucks at estimations of the length of my fics so I think this is the second to the last. I just thought of adding something so now it's one chapter longer than what I expected. But as usual I could feel that this would be rather short too. And I'm leaving KanZe after this. *cries* I'm leaving VK for awhile and gonna finish all my fics first before writing a new one. I love VK and of course my favorite KanZe but I should really go for awhile. I hope you would still read my fics when I get back. I would always go back to VK's KanZe because this is where I started. So sentimental neh..
Warning: beware of a vampire cussing….

THIRD PARTY
Chapter 6
CONTINUATION…….
The idea of skipping a week of his classes is now out of Kaname's plan. They broke up, didn't they? After almost an hour of weeping the same question struck him. It bothered him a lot. He thought of it too much that he didn't notice that his tears stopped flowing. He looked really frustrated. There wasn't an official break up. But when he tried to reminisce every scene it just looks like that. Maybe he should ask Zero about it. Wait isn't that hunter the cheater, so why would he? He was really irritated then he decided that maybe he should just live his normal life and see what would happen.
The next day they all came back to their normal lives. Normal means their lives before Kaname and Zero got together. The atmosphere is even more intense between the two.
When the time for the night class to come the prefects, Yuki and Zero secured the path from waves of crazy fan girls from the day class. As the night class walk, Kaname, who leads them, didn't even glance at Zero who stared at him the whole time, observing him. When the girls behind the hunter saw this, they start murmuring things like did they broke up?, what's happening between them? and such. This made the silver-haired sigh heavily. A pat on his shoulder by a certain blond with a sunny yet tainted with worry smile on his face startled the male prefect.
"Oh!" Zero managed to gasp with surprise before smiling back
The silver-haired's smile is a smile which obviously says 'Ah, I'm not that fine but don't worry I'll work things up. Every thing would be alright soon, well, I hope.' Uncertainty and worry is stirring up inside Zero. As he saw it, it's like Kaname was not affected anymore and that hurt him. Kaname looked pretty like his self but certainly not in the mood to smile and talk to anyone. When Kaname noticed some girls held their breaths he turned around just to see Takuma Ichijou's hand on his beloved Zero's shoulder. The pureblood stood there staring at them with killing aura. If looks could kill then the two should be dead right now.
'Huh! Hell. As if I care about them.' Kaname tried to convince himself. Although inside him he wanted to go beside his beloved and claim Zero as his own. He couldn't possibly do that after snubbing the silver-haired so he just shook off the feeling that stung him and he continued walking to their destination.
***Back to Ichijou and Zero
Takuma sighed as he saw that he could do nothing for his friend. He just comforted the other by words
"If I could just do something to help"
The silver-haired looked at the blond reassuring him
"It's fine. I'll be fine. I just need time."
"Just remember I'm always here. I won't go until you two are okay because I know that this is my fault"
"It's not all your fault. Don't blame it all to yourself"
"Okay, but don't hesitate to ask me if I could do something to help"
"Okay. Go now"
"Bye"
After bidding his farewell the blond left the silver-haired with the girls behind him mumbling things to each other. Are they starting rumors? Ah.. this made him remember how their love story started. He smirked painfully as he thought how girly it is to reminisce such thing and almost cry. After the last night class student pass he dashed back to their dorm. As Kaname set foot on the first step on the staircase he felt something weird that made him turn around. A figure running toward the opposite direction caught his attention. The person was too far for people to recognize but thanks to vampire's enhance vision Kaname knew exactly who that person is. As he entered the building he thought to his self 'What could his problem possibly be? I'm worried about him although I shouldn't be.'
Headmaster cross found 'his son' at the top of the staircase of the dorm on his way to his office. The ex-human looked all gloomy as he looked down and let out heavy sighs as he seemed to be lost in the sea of forlorn thoughts. He sat beside the silver-haired, he wants to try to comfort him. As a father he should know his son's problem. Kaien knows that he should let the kid be independent but for all those years Zero independence was never questioned, he was always an independent child. Maybe this is the time that the headmaster let his son know that he could always depend on his 'father'. And the first question came out of Cross' lackadaisical mouth
"Is it Kaname?"
Zero's eyes widened not just because of the question but also because of the presence. Why didn't he sense this most obvious guy in the whole world? Was he so drawn to the thought of his ex-lover who ignored him a while ago? For the first time the headmaster didn't make Zero's eyebrows to narrow out of annoyance he just earned a huff. The silver-haired cleared his throat and said
"Don't mind me. It's just nonsense."
What would you expect from Kaien but a childish pout
"But Daddy wanna know about his child's love life!!" he said as childish s he could say it
Zero is not in the mood to hit the guy and get irritated while cursing. He just said in the most aggravated tone as he could manage that time
"Leave me alone. It's none of your business. Really, believe me you wouldn't want to know."
The silver-haired doesn't have the time to think how his words would affect anyone right now. Instead of getting hurt and running away being the cry baby he is the words just made the headmaster more determined to help his son. He stood up and uttered
"Don't worry, I'll help you even though I'm not into yaoi." Zero barely heard that
Kaien went to his office and after a few minutes Yuki came out.
"Zero the headmaster wants to talk to you in his office"
Zero's right eye twitch. Why did that guy suddenly wanted to talk to him after walking away? Have he done anything wrong? Not false accusations again..
"Fine"
*** Inside headmaster Cross' office****
Zero feels really uneasy sitting there being scrutinized by Kaien Cross' eyes for maybe 15 minutes now since he entered the room without a single word spoken. Finally he snapped
"Why did you call me here? To stare at me? If that's all, then I'm going to my room."
" Wait, we are waiting for someone."
"Sorry but I wouldn't waste time waiting for your idiot companion who doesn't come on time."
The silver-haired stood up and as he was about to walk toward the door , it opened up with the pureblood coming in. their gaze met. Those eyes which were once filled with pure love were now… blank…dull…filled with nothingness. They were staring at each other. When Zero was about to say something the eye-to-eye contact was cut off by Kaname when he looked down. The simple, supposedly innocent gesture broke the ex-human's heart.
'He couldn't even look at me now. Is he really disgusted as he said?' the silver-haired thought as tears tried to well up on his eyes but amazingly he took control of those tears and now there is unbelievably no sign of up coming tears. He took a deep breath before taking his seat.
The pureblood sat on the seat next to the ex-human with a seemingly unreadable expression. Zero's irritation is surging as every second pass. He told Cross that it's none of his freaking business but that stubborn man still did something. Kaien is now getting chills because of the death glare from Zero. Kaname watched them trying to amuse his self and he thought
'Is Zero trying to kill the headmaster with his killing, demonic aura and that unexplainably deadly glare?'
For an escape Kaien gulped before saying
"So, shall I leave the two of you to talk?"
And the glare intensified a hundred times saying 'do that and I'll kill you assuring that you'd feel excruciating pain'. Receiving the message Kaien's reflex acted and before he realized it he's dead because he left the room running and in addition he locked the door unconsciously because of nervousness.
The two left in the room, sat there unmoving. They don't know what to do. Unlike the silver-haired who is starting to sweat, Kaname looked really cool sitting in there but the truth is he is hesitating on what to do, will he approach Zero or let the other approach him first? Zero watched Kaname who is looking at the door. The pureblood thought that leaving is the best he could do now. He stood up but by reflex the silver-haired caught his wrist. Zero also stood up and asked
" Are you avoiding me?"
The pureblood looked down as he answered
"Do I really need to say it aloud. You're not stupid."
"Why?" the ex-human's bangs is once again helping in concealing his teary eyes but his trembling voice is too obvious.
Kaname noticed that the other is gonna cry so he answered him as honest as it should be with the almost equal trembling voice. He's not calm anymore.
"I'm avoiding you because it's painful"
He's gonna burst soon. He doesn't like seeing Zero cry, it's breaking his heart, especially knowing that he caused those tears. He wanted to wipe the tears that would run down the silver-haired's cheeks but that would make letting go harder right. To be harsh is better. Kaname wished that Zero would just curse him instead of cry because of the pain he'll cause him. And to make the scene easier Kaname loosened Zero's grip with his free hand. When the ex-human finally let go that means he's not expecting that Kaname still loves him. After the first few drops of Zero's tears fell he run out of the room leaving Kaname who used the window to go out to the forest. The pureblood went and sat under the tree where everything started. He goes there every time the two of them have misunderstandings. Now he is there to cuss his self
"Shit!! What kind of idiot am !? Damn it I hurt him again!! Fuck! I made him cry! Shit!! I really screwed up!!! Hell!! Damn it! I'm an idiot " he said this again and again as his tears fell..
TO BE CONTINUED…….
AVOIDANCE WOULDN'T HEAL THE WOUNDS. CONFRONTATIONS MAY HURT BUT THEY WOULD HELP
(But honestly that didn't help Kaname and Zero)
