A/N: I am so sorry I haven't been able to update " Blame my teacher I have gotten essays that had to be up to 26 pages long *Pulls on face* Then to top it all off, when I did have my fanfic chapter written, because of the homework, my whole laptop crashed! Currently I am using my sister's. She rarely allows this. Anyways~ I will try to write more but I definitely will in the next few weeks because of vacation!
"It really has been too long" Ichiru lickjed his lips and hugged his brother a little tighter. "A-ah! Ichiru, you've gotten strong.." Zero stated. "Oh!" Ichiru released is brother and smiled apologetically "Sorry." Zero chuckled with an exhale, "No it's alright" He smiled a bit then turned his attention to the headmaster, leaning against his desk. While doing so, Ichiru's smile vanished, glaring at the pureblood who tried desperately to hide his aura that was filled with anger. Otherwise, Zero would know something is up.
"Kaname, Ichiru, would you please" The headmaster gestured towards the door. "Zero and I have some matters to discuss." Ichiru bowed respectively then left the room, followed by Kaname, who paused by the exit, the handle in hand. Zero looked at him through the corner of his eye, as he was facing Cross. Kaname caught the look in Zero's eyes that told him not to worry and closed the door behind him.
"My, my, you didn't look so happy to see me." Ichiru smirked, leaning against the wall across from the door with his arms crossed neatly over his chest. Kaname resumed a tense, formal stance. "Of course not, especially after what you tried to pull last time, Ichiru!" The pureblood growled softly and sharply.
"It doesn't matter, I'm not afraid of you." Ichiru closed his eyes," Besides, you can't even touch me," Kaname chuckled softly, "The senate is destroyed Ichiru, you can be hurt now." Ichiru sighed. "On the contrary, I have been given a position in the hunter's association, surely you know this." Kaname glared once more, opening his mouth to say something when Ichiru interrupted. "Fetch me when the discussion indoors is dealt with" Ichiru walked off, with a wave of his hand then paused to say one last thing. " or better yet, send Zero to get me" He smirked to himself and walked out of sight. Kaname balled his hands into fists.
"Well… Ichiru is a human, he should be in the day class, I can understand where you are coming from…." Kaien placed his hand over his chin, while he leaned over his desk to face Zero, leaning from the other side. "Ichiru was part of the senate, he is more of a target in the day class….." Kaien continued. "Headmaster…." "Zero listen, I know the tension between those two is tangible but, as I said before it's your choice, I agree that it is better for him to be in nught class for [protection issues, but I can't help but ask again, are you sure? A human is an easy target in both classes." He looked up to the prefect who simply nodded. Kaien sighed, "alright…you're excused."
Zero walked out of the office with a sigh, pulling the door closed to find Kaname waiting for him. "Shall we go to the dorms now?" Kaname asked. The doors were designed as to be soundproof to even a pureblood's hearing, so he hadn't heard Zero's decision. The hunter nodded while Kaname reached for Zero's hand, but to his disappointment, the prefect pulled away softly. Kaname sighed and began walking out of the building with Zero at his side.
Ichiru watched from the window of the guest room at headmaster's private living quarters, serving as a temporary resting place for the twin. He noticed the two males walking from the building. 'The meeting must be over.' He thought and gathered his things.
"Kaname i…" the pureblood stopped walking several inches in front of the other. "Yes, Zero?" the prefect didn't respond for a long while. "I.." Zero's voice sounded more shaky. The scent of salt suddenly caused the pureblood to turn on his heal and immediately embrace the younger boy. Two drops fell to the ground from the prefect's eyelashes. He was crying. Zero was crying.
"Shh, shh, Zero it's alright" The pureblood soothed while running his fingers through the silky sliver locks. "Kaname..don't treat me like I'm weak…please…" Zero managed to push the words out of his throat through choking sobs. "Kaname I have been terrible to you…" He looked to the ground in anguish, tears falling freely from his eyes, themselves instead of gradually gathering at the corners and falling off the eyelashes.
Kaname grabbed the younger vampire by the chin, making him look upwards so their eyes could lock. The prefect looked so broken down like this, it was a rare sight. He took pales wrists in his other hand and pinned the shorter of the two against the bark of a tree not too many inches away from where they were standing.
Zero's eyes widened then narrowed in anger. His eyebrows were furrowed and his teeth were clenched, tightly. "Kuran…what are you do—"
Ichiru stood a few yards away from the two, watching in a state of paralysis, hidden behind a tree. 'Come on Zero don't fall for his tricks! Shizuka was a pureblood too…and I know how hard it is to resist them. You are stronger than this Zero! Show me that caring for purebloods is wrong! Like when we were kids! And when we last met!' His eyes were wide as he tried to telepathically send this message, knowing that communicating in such a way wouldn't work unless they could see each other.
Kaname could sense the nearby presence of the other twin, he resisted a smirk as he locked his lips with the soft one's of the hunter, cutting off the sentence he was currently forming. A few flakes of snow begin to fall around them. 'Jack Frost chose the perfect moment.' Kaname thought while pressing closer to the boy to give him extra warmth in the snow bitten air. The snow has been occurring on and off lately as the holiday season was fast approaching. Their heated breaths were visible in the cool weather. The pureblood held a gentle embrace around the other as he calmly and slowly swept his tongue over the soft lower lip of the hunter trapped by him. Satisfied by the light moan he got, Kaname then slipped his warm tongue into the slightly parted lips, exploring his prey, wanting so badly to devour him. The two fought for dominance but Kaname won when zero willingly gave in.
Zero shut his eyes once the contact was made between them, groaning at the heat that was so willingly draped over his freezing body. There was a noticeable tint of red coloring the prefect's cheeks as he felt his tongue slide with Kaname's. The blood inside him boiled ever so slightly, causing the paleness of his skin to become a light shade of pink ever more. 'Dammit Kuran quit taking advantage of me! Master would be so pissed if he saw this!'
Ichiru was filled with emotions beyond disbelief, his bag fell from his now unclenched hand. Only now did he realize he was moving further from the tree while he was watching and was now openly exposed with an unreadable look on his face.
Kaname continued to move his lips with the hunter's, absorbing every moment he could get. 'Winter is soon to fall upon us….and if it's alright with you Zero, I'd like to spend the Holidays with you.' He made a mental note before breaking the kiss to give Zero some air. A string of saliva still connecting the two panting vampires. Zero's tongue was still hung partially out of his mouth as if he had not wanted it to end. However he quickly turned a cold shoulder to the pureblood, narrowing his gaze once again with his lips pressed into a thin line as he adjusted his tie back into place. Or at least, where it felt most comfortable.
Ichiru quickly turned so his back was against the bark, and he was out of sight. If zero saw him there, the whole year would be awkward and uncomfortable. He decided to play his rile quietly and undetected.
"Zero…I want you to know that you can tell me anything…don't hide things from me anymore, alright?" he stroked the prefect's flushed cheek before pecking him softly on the other one, causing said prefect to close his eyes for a moment. Zero fanned the pureblood away. 'Kuran quit acting stupid."
The elder vampire smirked lightly and gestured that they should get going by holding out an arm that was usually a dancing call. "Shall we get to the dorms?" Zero nodded and took the invitation, Kaname used his other hand to hold Zero's cold one.
Ichiru quickly replaced a pained look with a sly smirk. 'Nice work Kaname, but not good enough, I will still have Zero one way or another.' The silverette licked his lips and quickly gathered his things running towards the other two, laughing freely and smiling with closed eyes, similar to how Ichijo normally does. "Zero! Kaname!"
"Ruka!" Aido chased the female vampire down the stairs. "Give it back!" The aristocrat smiled as she ran faster. 'This little book may just have something worth reading' she thought as she dashed past Akatski who was leaning in a layback position against the stairs. Her long wavy hair flowing behind her. "Nope!"
Kain closed his eyes, in an irritated manner before placing his hand over his face. "Geeze.." He exhaled. The two have been at this for quite a while now. "Please Ruka! Give it back!" Aido wailed, his eyes like needles upon her, one could almost Photoshop a dragon's tongue in his mouth and fire for eyes. "Let's see what's so special." She opened the book slowly. Her eyes widening after reading the few lines. Aido was frozen, a hand in the air that was supposed to stop her, and his jaw dropped. "A-ah…."
"How are you able to understand this stuff?!" Ruka's voice was soon lost in an absent matter according to Shiki who lost interest as he watched the two for entertainment for about an hour and a half. It was really starting to bore him and he began zoning out. His head was rested on Ichijo's shoulder, ice blue orbs trailing over the scenes in the manga his lover was currently reading. He didn't care much for anything that had to do with the novels, but he did enjoy the pictures and it felt good to be by Takuma's side on a nice sofa, rather than at home with his mother who just about treated him no better than a porcine doll.
Takuma hummed an unknown tune as he flipped through the thin pages of the story. "You know Rima, This story, Hetalia, is really good!" He smiled and chuckled at some event that must have occurred in said manga. "No thanks." The young female model replied, taking a bite of a cookie, with a calm expression. "I'm still working on that Full metal thing…." Takuma smiled and ignored the last sentence from Rima as he finished another in the book then gazed out the nearby window. "I wonder when Kaname will be back"
The door opened with a loud clank sound. All the students of the night class turned their attention to the entrance as the presence was made clear. Kaname continued to hold his hand, tightly. Even though Ichiru merely greeted them as if nothing happened during their kiss, and headed back to the headmaster to fetch his uniforms. Kaname still couldn't help but dislike the idea that his time with Zero alone was slowly being eaten away. Very slowly.
Zero looked around the dorms, slipping his hand from the purebloods and simply surveying the room with his eyes. As usual they all held a look of disgust as their eyes lingered upon him. Just the way he liked it. The prefect smirked lightly and reached his right hand into his right breast pocket, grabbing the pistol hidden beneath the cloth causing an unforgettable click as he unlocked the safety. The vampires gasped softly but not noticeably to anyone unless they were expecting such a reaction. The air wass tense. Kaname leaned towards Zero, whose arm dropped back to his side when he felt that warm breath brush against the shell of his ear. The nobles relaxed once again to know the hunter was only playing a nasty trick, but it was a rare occurrence that the beings of night disliked greatly.
"Which class did you enlist Ichiru to join? He was enrolled as a day student. Did you jkeep it that way?" Kaname pressed with a whisper. Zero tensed a little. "…I discussed the best class for him with the headmaster….we came with the ultimate decision that he is to be a member of the Night class, and will be staying in the dorm with us as he is one to involve himself with vampires and be an easy target." He said the answer in a clear, empty tone, but the lump in Zero's throat made it difficult. The aura admitting off the pureblood was dark and choking.
The brunet sighed softly but was careful not to show much distress to the hunter. He turned to face the vampires with a formal stance. "Starting today we will be having a new student in the Night class. Ichiru Kiryu from the hunter lineage clan and past servant to vampires of the nobility ranking." Kaname began, "He is human and is not to be touched, if the thought of devouring his blood dares to cross your thoughts, the one held responsible will be dealt with by me. Anyone to do so is committing an act of taboo and will be expelled. " His eyes were filled with strength as he gave the order.
The students rejected the idea at first with a large expression of revolt, however they pushed the emotion down and obeyed, showing the agreement by bowing slightly with a hand to their beating hearts. Murmurs of 'Yes Kaname sama' and "Of course lord Kuran' could be heard throughout the room before they dismissed themselves to their dorms when Kaname gave the word of an excused school day. However, the vampires within Kaname's inner circle remained in the main lounging area of the dorm.
Ruka stood to face her beloved Kaname with a look of confusion and worry spreading throughout her gaze. "Lord Kaname! You can't be serious!" She blurted out. "He was such a threat the last few times and yet he is still allowed on the school campus?!" She said breathlessly. "Ruka calm down….I'm sure the dorm president knows what he's doing.." He muttered, turned slightly towards her. She relaxed and took a deep breath before walking back towards the couch with a flip of her hair. Takuma, Shiki, and Rima simply watched from the couch. "Kaname…are you sure?" Takuma asked, just to confirm that his childhood friend was intact.
"Yes" The pureblood put it simply before walking upstairs and into his dorm. Zero sighed and looked to the aristocrats only to receive a sharp yet suttle glare from a few of them. Not long after Kaname was out of sight did he slide his hands into his pockets and make his way up the marble steps and out of the eye range of the vampires below.
Akatski sighed once again and looked towards Aido. "Hanabusa, you've been awfully quiet…" He stated with a flat tone. When the fire manipulator got no answer he gave up and turned to watch Ruka again. Every now in then, however, did Kain allow himself from shooting 'idol' a glance.
'This is good, If Ichiru truly wishes to be with Zero…then…then Kaname can be mine…..but….Zero….' "Ahh-!" The blond groaned in frustration, clamping his head with both hands and scratching lightly. The other's watched him for a minute then shrugged, dismissing the ituation as one of Aido's mental fits. Hanabusa then marched up the stairs when Akatski glanced at him again. "Hanabusa are you—" "I'm fine! I'll just be in my room" he answered proudly as he left. Wild sighed. '"That's our Hanabusa.."
