Well well so now we get into things finally! The plots finally moving along...lol you need a freaking flow chart to show who likes who in this fic.

I have a thing for making Kaito bad don't I lol first Smile now Perdidoso though he does come across as really conniving and manipulative sometimes, I like to see him go up against Kaname some time...for some reason I see him having throwing knives as weapons it just seems to fit him so well.

Sorry folks for this being so short and the long time between updates this was a really hard chapter to write.

Thanks for the review Darthmocy, yep Kaname is back in his chapter!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight...or the love hexagon I've turned it into lol

Perdidoso
Chapter 8 Survive

You won't survive the night
I've got you caught in my sights
It's dark out
And there's not even moonlight
So run, run little lamb
This wolf's hungry for a bite...

When he woke up he was sore all over and covered in sweat...where was he? Then he remembered what happened to his big brother and then images of a brunette haired girl came to mind.

"Kazuma-kun!" some exclaimed "You're awake, how do you feel?" he cringed at the loudness and covered his eyes with his hand...damn why was everything so loud and bright?

"Could you please not talk so loud" he asked as he sat up in the bed.

"Oh sorry...don't you remember me Kazuma-kun" she whispered "I'm Kuran Yuuki" oh that girl from before.

"I'm sorry for all the trouble Yuuki-sama, how long have I been here?" Kazuma apologised and tried to get out of bed but Yuuki pushed him back down.

"It's no trouble so you don't have to apologize, you were attacked I choose to help you so stay in bed alright" Yuuki ordered him "You don't want all my efforts to go to waste now do you?" okay so maybe the guilt trip was being laid on a little thick but she had a point.

He laid back down "Shirabuki-sama could have gotten you as well..." he commented tiredly looking up at her "You're one weird pureblood Yuuki-sama...anyone else would have just drank my blood but you actually helped me and gave me your blood" he whispered as he drifted back to sleep.

'You reminded me of someone I love dearly' she thought as she bent down and kissed him on the forehead.

Kaname had locked the door to his room. There was no way he was leaving his dear Yuuki here alone after she refused to leave that Ouri kid's bedside, it seems she's become quite attached to him after only a few days.

No one was to disturb Kaname not even if it was Seiren, he couldn't rist it, ever since that night with Zero he'd been feeling the need for blood more than before and only a huge amount of tablets seemed to quell his growing hunger. The bond was strengthening that was for sure though from what he'd researched while in his recent seclusion it would past soon as the stupid bloodbond settled back down.

Sometimes he wondered if this is what Zero felt before he'd devoured his twin.

Knock knock

"Kaname-sama? Are you okay?"he heard Ruka ask, her sharp voice filtered through the wooden door.

"Ruka I am fine now please leave I asked for no disturbances" He called out to her as the door handle slowly turned and it was pushed open. He bit down on his bottom lip in pain, his hunger intensified just looking at her pale neck.

"Kaname-sama you need to drink" she stated with a sad look on her pretty face.

"No..." he growled out gripping his chest, oh the irony of the situation "leave now" he didn't want to any of his loyal supporters or friends but she was so tempting...his eyes must have been glowing bright red in the darkened room by now.

She sighed she didn't want to do this to her dearest Kaname-sama but she couldn't stand him hurting...to tell the truth she was amazed Aidou wasn't here already.

Ruka drew one of her claws over the flesh of her neck making a thin cut in the smooth skin. Kaname lunged at her, even though he had been trying to hold back the urge, he pushed her to the floor and his fangs sank into her blood flowing into his mouth.

"Ah!" she gasped and her arms wrapped around his back "Kaname-sama...I...I...love you" she cried.

'What am I doing?!' he thought finally starting to think clearly again and pushed himself off her "Ruka just get the hell out of here" he ordered her and rushed into the bathroom, god he felt sick even if he didn't have a bond with Kiryuu there was Yuuki to consider what the hell was he doing!

Ruka sat up touching the side of her neck and looked towards the door to Kaname's room, it stood wide open and in it stood a stricken looking Kain.

Zero hadn't wanted to come out here so early in the morning, seriously he had sleep deprivation on a normal week he didn't need Kaito messing up his sleep patterns as well.

He rubbed his pale violet eye and yawned "What the hell was so important Kaito?" he growled at the older Hunter and pulled his coat tighter around himself, this time of day just before dawn was colder than nightime and his breath was coming out as mist as he talked.

"You really should learn some manners Zero..." Kaito replied with his gloved hands in his pockets as he lazily leaned against a wall "One day you won't be amongst friends" he smirked.

"You're not my friend, you weren't even my friend when we were younger" he argued, something was off his senses both Hunter and Vampire were screaming danger.

"What when you were human..." he said "Anyway I think it's time...it's been fun while it lasted Zero" a knife suddenly flew out of his hand at him and if Zero hadn't been able to dodge it would have impedded in his shoulder not just grazing it.

Other people joined them rushing out of the old abandoned apartment block next to them.

The area Kaito had lured him to was full of narrow back alleys and dead end street and none of the surrounding buildings had windows near the ground...it would be almost impossible to escape without injury damn it he should have realised something was up and he was being lead into a set up.

"DAMN YOU FUCKING BASTARD TRAITOR KAITO!" Zero screamed as he fought them off. Vampires he could understand but these guys were Hunters just like him damn it.

Blood trickled down from his split lip and forehead as he pulled out his katana, normally he wouldn't use any other weapon but the Bloody Rose (he didn't want to use the vines anymore than he had to) but his gun didn't work on humans...also it had been Ichiru's weapon he couldn't bring himself to just throw it away.

Metal clashed and scraped against metal as Zero fought for his life, Rose was getting anxious and crawled under his skin with the smell of both his and the other's blood filling the frigid morning air.

"Ah!fuck!" he cried as he felt one of Kaito's knives penetrate his skin, his vision blurred and his body felt like it weighed a ton as he collapsed to the ground barely conscious.

"Heh you're lucky you're not wanted dead...not at the moment anyway" Kaito explained caressing his face.
