Well well I didn't originally intend for this twist to happen but it was so fun of an idea even if I've already used it before.
Thanks for the reviews folks :) it's always fun to have some CrossYagari interaction lol
I decided to add a bit more humor into Perdidoso for this chapter as a prelude to The Angst! Zero is deliberately OOC okay folks just to let you know
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight...well that sucks!
Perdidoso
Chapter 7 Rope
Everything has changed
Twisted upside down
Don't let them rope you in
They'll pull you under
They'll make you drown
In this despair...
It had been almost two weeks since he'd seen Kuran outside of official meetings and Zero was relieved he hadn't had any chance in the last few days that the bastard could have caught him alone. Now that his leave was up he had to go back to the Academy for lessons the only problem with that was while it meant he wasn't forced to be in the same room as Kuran he had Kaito as a teacher. He also had to put up with all those annoying girls (except Wakaba) all day because seeing as the Night Class (damn blood suckers) had left the school Zero was really the hottest guy on campus according to them at least.
Really know that he thought about it there was one thing good about the Academy as opposed to the Association right now and that was Lily... well there was also not having to put up with Cross as much as well.
Currently he was sleeping at the back of his Maths class...or trying to at least.
"KIRYUU ARE YOU SLEEPING IN CLASS!!!AGAIN!!!" the teacher (he never bothered to remember their names) yelled at him and Yori nudged him.
"Not anymore..." he answered flippantly as he raised his head off the desk.
"Detention after class Kiryuu" he ordered Zero "how you pass all the tests so well is beyond me" the man muttered.
"Yeah it's beyond me as well because really I'd learn more from this class just reading the textbook" Zero replied sarcastically, he was sick of this guy "I wonder who you even became a teacher with calculations like...what did they start handing out qualifications in cereal boxes now days or did you just print your diploma off the Internet" he ranted.
"Excuse me!" he spluttered "How dare you! Get the hell out of my classroom!"
"Also you're an ugly old perverted bastard -yeah I saw you staring- and I've seen better outfits at the back of Cross's wardrobe...okay whatever I'm done" Zero finished his rant and got up out of his seat, he found it hilarious for some reason that everyone was staring at him completely frozen in their seats and many mouths were hanging open in shock.
He didn't know why he said all that but god it felt so good to get that off his chest! He should do that more often...or not, now that he thought about it that outburst was a bit out of character, he'd started behaving like this more and more over the last week maybe there was something wrong with the new batch of pills he'd been needing more and more blood tablets lately to keep Bloody Rose under control.
Zero looked up from where he was leaning against the hallway wall...damn it Kaito was heading his way. Wait what was that smell...it smelt like...like...blood, than why was it making him feel so bad. He quickly covered his hand over his mouth as the other Hunter stepped in front of his.
"Why arn't you in class? You look like crap" he asked (no he wasn't concerned just a sadist) observing Zero's strangely ashen and sweaty appearance.
"Shut up and leave me alone" he mumbled behind his hand, oh fuck he was going to puke!
Kaito looked down at his own hand that was wrapped in bandages "Oh can you smell this?" he said dismissively with a smirk on his lips and moved closer still.
'Fucking bastard!' Zero thought as he felt his stomach lurch horribly and moved his hand away from his mouth quickly as he vommited down the front of Kaito's shirt.
Kaito stood there his eyebrow twitching as if he was trying hard keep his face blank and Zero just gave him a look as if to say 'Well screw you it was your own fault moron'.

Cross Kaien and Yagari Touga were both working in the Hunter President's office like usual and like usual Touga was stuck doing most of the work. Though today though Touga would never admit it out loud, he was really worried about the kid, Zero had just phoned him to request that he be taken out of school.
"Well if you're worried tell him" Kaien commented "And yes I can read your mind" he said dramatically.
"Shut up moron" Touga growled and slapped him around the back of his head.
"I heard Kiryuu-kun threw up all over Kaito-kun" he said cheerfully, to him it was quite funny and he wished he was there to see it.
"What!" he exclaimed.
"Really Yagari-kun" Kaien shook his head "You have your sources I have mine, I have eyes and ears everywhere mhuahahaha ow!" he cried as Touga hit him again "Abuse spousal abuse I say".
"Can't you be serious once in your life...and what the hell do you mean by spousal abuse huh? like I'd go out with you idiot as if anyone in their right mind would believe that!" he huffed and glared at him.
"Awwww Yagari-kun doesn't love me anymore!" the blonde cried tears running down his face melodramatically "I can't go on!".
Touga sighed, really this is what he put up with on a daily basis! "Shut up stop being such a drama queen and stop trying to distract me damn it" he shouted.
"Sorry I guess I got a little carried away...anyway I don't see why you're so worried Kiryuu-kun's probably just formed a bloodbond with someone" he explained "the stronger the bond the harder it is to drink anyone else's blood other than the person they made the bond with and from what I heard Kaito-kun was bleeding the smell probably made him feel sick...really why so serious Yagari-kun you're acting like he's pregnant or something".

Level E's were coming out of the city like cockroaches out of woodwork and Zero was happy to have something to vent his anger at.
"You don't need any help do you?" Kaito asked him from where he stood leaning against the stone wall as he observed his charge struggling against a Vampire. It had pinned Zero to the ground and he was trying to stop it from tearing a chunk out of his neck.
"No I don't" Zero ground out, he fired a bullet into the Vampire's head and he was freed as it exploded into dust.
"Just asking" he said and shrugged his shoulders.
"Well don't, why are you here anyway?" he demanded shaking the durt and dust off his coat.
"I'm here because I was ordered to and because it annoys you so much, you were so sick earlier you sure the princess doesn't need a break?" Kaito asked.
"Go ahead no one's stopping you" Zero replied, seriously if the guy's going to make a sarcastic comment like that he shouldn't give so much rope to hang himself with "I've got this covered, you don't need to be here and more importantly I don't want you here so go".
"Don't you need anyone Zero I'm just trying to be your friend" he said walking over to him and his hand caressed the side of Zero's face with his fingers running through his silver locks.
"Yeah right like I was ever friends with you Kaito, friends force you to have sex with them or try to control you! Your a fucking psycho!" Zero yelled angrily.
"So you'd rather hang out with a Vampire?" he asked, he fisted his hair and his other hand clamped down tightly around his throat.
"You have so much hate for Vampires...heh the funny thing is even though you're human you're way more of a Vampire than me" Zero gasped out.
Kaito threw the younger boy hard against the ground, along the way his head hit a rock slicing his pale forehead open and snapped the strap on his eye-patch "Shut up, like you can say anything I know what really happened to Ichiru" he snapped at him.
"Heh oh really and what do you think happened to me Kaito-san" he asked curiously "You must be scary now if you shocked back Niisan into himself" Ichiru smirked, the scars covering his left eye making him look even more creepy.
"So Zero really is insane like they say" the older Hunter commented boredly.
"No not really we just became one I've been in living in the back of his mind for the last year without him knowing" Ichiru said "I will only tell you this once, stay away from my brother Zero-nii doesn't need any of you".
"Okay I will remember that" he agreed boredly and walked away with his hands in his coat pockets.
Kaito smirked really they were both idiots Ichiru just made his decision easier. He leaned against the shop window and pulled out his cell phone "Just it'll work perfectly...no one will go looking him, I've taken care of it" he said into it.
