A/N: I am so done writing notes for myself here and there. It is exhausting. So instead, I've printed a handy dandy calendar that I am going to use more often to help regulate my schedule. Unfortunately, priorities need to be set, and working and errands come first. After this, I have a few other things to do, including promote an artist on PaigeeWorld. Yeah, so if you want to check out my art, go find me kaiwai. I have a bunch of drawings there that'll be worth a look-see. I will be posting some of my older art too.

I apologize because these chapters are getting a bit shorter, but I promise, they'll get longer here soon enough. I just gotta get everything out of the way for now. Things will start to make sense and in the twelfth chapter-well, that's a spoiler.

Anyway! That is not why y'all are favoriting and following this story! You're doing it for the good stuff. I'll tell you all what-for those following, I'm gonna post an extra couple chapters to sate y'all and your crazy obsession with this story. I really don't see how/why you all love it so much, but I shouldn't complain.

I was reading through some of the reviews and the previous chapters, and I realized the whole point of this story hadn't been written yet! So I looked through my phone to check how far along I was, and I have written up to chapter 12! Whoo! So enjoy!

On one last note, I am holding auditions for members of Syndeo. I need twin elite soldiers, and I also need one elite ex-human. If y'all are interested in sending me profiles, PM me, and we'll talk business. So you could end up in my story; who knows? -Note: please no Gary Stus/Mary Sues. Must PM me within 76 hours of this posting from Thurs, July 16, 12:00pm PTZ(UTC-08:00(California; U.S.)) to Sun, July 19, 12:00pm PTZ(UTC-08:00(California; U.S.)). Must include in PM: Name, Age, birth, likes, dislikes, weapon(s) of choice, description, and bio(also include anything else seemingly necessary(i.e pet(s), etc)) and a quick sentence or two on why you think I should take your character.-

Oh, and I almost forgot. There's one more thing-the twins are insane, and are pets of Syndeo that hunt down whatever Syndeo needs them to. Have fun!

Zero turned onto his side, growling and mumbling softly in his sleep, the satin red sheets creasing in shift in movement.

There was a light coming from one of the windows in his room, but that wasn't where his focus was.

His focus was on what he was feeling, and it was strange; like feeling warm and fulfilled, but still missing something. He looked over at his hand, and there was a diamond-encrusted band on his finger, mocking him a bit. How old was he? Since when was he married?

The scene changed; he was on a mission in some abandoned hospital. There was that light again, from down the hall, and as he got closer, it got hot. Suffocatingly hot. He couldn't breathe. His throat and lungs burned. He felt pinches, all over his body and all at once, but he stumbled on, when the burning in his throat got so bad that he collapsed, choking on the soot in his throat.

He grasped the sheets in slight panic, before he relaxed again, waking up.

It took him a moment to register his senses all together without completely scrambling them. That's when he realized he wasn't in any room or bed he'd recognized.

The scent was rosey. It filled his senses with an incredible tangy rose smell that was exotic, yet at the same time comforting, but there was something else he was starting to register over the rose scent as well.

Blood. Lots of it.

Zero shot up in bed and felt something brush against his cool skin, slipping with the movement of his sudden jolt. He looked down to realize he hadn't been wearing any clothes he'd come in. His collar was grazing his neck, making it itch slightly. The rest of the unnecessarily warm, silky jacket was laid over his chest and stomach, perfectly curving with his body, and ending at the front just above his hip line. There were twelve golden clips holding the jacket shut that were lined perfectly down to the end of the light blue-grey material, right where it met with the matching gold trim of the jacket.

His pants were crisp white, hugging his legs almost like skinny jeans, but a little more loose and a lot more silky and comfortable. They were rolled up a bit at the ankles, he could feel it, but couldn't see much, since up to the bottom edge of his kneecaps was hidden by deep ebony boots, with golden clips starting from the folded over cloth of the boots down to the start of the material, like something out of a civil war movie.

Zero threw back the sheets and scrambled to his feet, trying to gather himself before realizing something had yanked his wrist, making him meet some resistance.

Zero turned to see his left wrist had been handcuffed to a groaning form that had curled further under the sheets and Zero froze, reaching instinctively for Bloody Rose. To his surprise, she was still there, clipped to his belt, as he had left her. To even more of his surprise, the form that was handcuffed to him was the pureblood that had nearly ripped him apart just the day before.

Kaname whimpered softly as he felt a light shift in the weight of the bed, and groaned when he felt something cold and hard pulling at his wrist. The pureblood looked over his shoulder and realized what he was actually wearing, wary that Zero'd been similarly dressed, save for the colors of the pureblood's clothes which consisted mostly of ebony and gold.

Zero started when he realized the form was Kaname, and he sighed softly in slight relief, both vampires' gazes locking for a moment.

Kaname finally turned away and got up on Zero's side of the bed, dragging the ex-human to his feet along with the pureblood. "I'm sorry, Zero..." Kaname's soft, almost broken voice made the hunter jump to his feet beside the other vampire and attempt to ignore that anything was amiss, despite his growing delusions and anticipation.

"What for? You didn't do anything. Now let's get moving and get out of here before somebody decides a sneak attack," Zero said through a forced smile, and led the pureblood to the door, but as soon as Zero turned the handle, there was a blaze of heat that crossed and singed his entire palm.

Zero jerked his hand back, crying out softly. Kaname looked oddly at the door, as if studying the doorknob. He slowly reached for the door and when he grabbed the knob, the heat pouring from it burned into his hand, burning the flesh until it burned off and new flesh grew over it.

Zero grabbed Kaname's wrist, trying to yank him away, but the pureblood didn't move. Instead, he pushed open the door, peering into the dark room where flames flickered brightly on one side of the room, and ice careened on the other.


I didn't want to put it up there in the author's note because that note is already long enough, and on top of that, this is a spoiler. I realized that they hadn't been kidnapped yet, and before any of you get curious if it's Alice, I think I made it pretty obvious(if you haven't read my authors' notes you won't understand; that's why they're so impudent) who the kidnapper is.
