Author's Notes: I recently got politely lectured and I would like to thank and credit the amazing Blackened Wing and lightpathetic, two well-known and freaking awesome VK fanfic authors (and Incagold27 whose undoubtedly lovely work I have recently read ^^;) who portray the blood bond in a certain way that I played off of. I had no intention to upset anyone, but apologize either way and will now start putting credits under the disclaimer if I am aware of using a borrowed idea.
Thank you xXMirinXx (even if you didn't want the mention ).
Oh, and thank you to YenGirl (everyone thanks you and now you've got one from me!) for that awesome review- it made me giggle. ^-^

Chapter 9- With Me Tonight
"Did you think that what you did would make me happy?"
"I... I thought that it would bring you relief, yes..."
"From what?"
A shallow gulp.
"From the way your blood bond alerted you to his thirst."
Kaname's russet glare narrowed at the mention of the bond, but he did not really find it bad that Aidou knew about him and Zero. Aidou was one who would tell Kaname what he knew, even if it would have been smarter not to. It was not really that he was more observant than the other vampires, the blonde was just a little outspoken. Besides, Aidou knew better than to spread the fact that Kaname Kuran had a blood bond with Zero Kiryuu. But still... it irked Kaname a little to hear that Aidou only did it so the bond would not "worry" the pureblood...
"But also because I knew that you would be worried that Kiryuu would get sick or too weak..." he added softly.
...Okay, so maybe Aidou was not all that obsessed with Kaname to the point where he was cold-hearted. In fact, that last sentence just may have spared the noble's life.
Kaname stared Aidou down for a few more blistering moments before turning to look out of the window where he could see Zero heading back to the school building from the Moon Dorm gates- it was time for the hunter to go to class after escort. The sight of the boy made Kaname's chest tighten slightly, but he ignored it and said, without looking at Aidou, "Although I am extremely enraged at how you have fed Zero, my bondmate, your blood," he started, stressing the word "my" with possessiveness and a quick leer out of the corner of his eye to the nervous blonde. "I appreciate you keeping him healthy as best as you could, Aidou. Although, I have to remind you that since Zero and I have a two-way blood bond..." Aidou paled at that- oops... maybe the Level B didn't know that... "...his thirst will never be quenched with anyone's blood other than mine. So I would appreciate it more if you would not give him any more blood after this. Is that understood?"
Aidou shook his head quickly and said, "Yes, Kaname-sama!" a little too loudly.
The brunette dismissed him with a slight smirk and on the way back to his room, Aidou marveled at how his Kaname-sama hadn't slapped him or anything! He found himself a little relieved that his punishment had been light and then musing jealously, yet good-naturedly, over how Zero and Kaname had a two-way bond. Ah... well, at least now he did not have to keep feeding Zero. Last night was freaky...
As he reached the room, Kain was inside, doing homework. Aidou smirked proudly at his cousin when the older said, "So did he slap you?"
"No. He did not, as a matter of fact. He only scolded me a bit."
Kain looked up from his paper, a little shocked. Kaname didn't slap Hanabusa Aidou...? What the heck was going on? After a moment, Kain wondered if Kaname was feeling well.
"This calls for Pocky~" Aidou slightly squealed, swiftly stepping to the place where he was currently hiding his Chocolate Pocky from people like Shiki and Rima. However, upon pulling open the drawer...
"IT'S GONE!" he wailed, pulling the drawer out further to make sure it was really gone. "All five packs!" But after getting over it slightly, he saw the folded piece of stationary that hadn't been in this drawer previously. Distractedly and maybe with a few tears in his eyes, he took it out as Kain came over to see as well.
Opening it he read aloud, "'Did you really think that you were going to get off that easy? -Kaname Kuran'"
Immediately, Aidou threw his head back and let out a loud whine of, "Kaname-samaaaa...!" while Kain chuckled and put a hand on Aidou's blonde head sympathetically.
"Well, at least he didn't smack you."

Zero seethed at the slight shiver that ran up his spine. That was the seventh time that had happened this morning and it was pissing him off. Not so much the fact that he was freezing in the warm classroom or that it kept happening, but rather, it was because he knew why he was so cold.
He needed Kaname and Kaname didn't need him.
It was bad enough that he knew that he craved the pureblood, but why did his body have to keep bloody reminding him? God...
The chill bit at him again and he had to clench his teeth to keep himself from letting out a breathy shudder. People were already glancing at him like he was weird. Well, he didn't care if it was distracting to them, but he didn't like people staring at him. It made him angry when people did that.
Of course, the condition was distracting him as well, because he kept thinking about how only Kaname's blood would be able to stop it. But should he go to the pureblood? Well... he knew that he should, but would he? Do you have any idea how humiliating it would be to crawl back to Kaname and beg for him to give him his blood while said pureblood looked down his nose at him condescendingly? 'Not like the rest of them', indeed...
Zero sighed hopelessly as his fingers began to go rigid from his damned chilly state of withdrawl. He liked to think that maybe it really was Kaname just losing control for a bit that one time and that the brunette didn't really try to steal his blood and rape him. Maybe then the ex-human could bring himself to get to Kaname for some help...
Suddenly, the soft ache in his limbs flared sharply and tightened around his nerve endings, begging him to scream. Zero bit his bottom lip so hard that it bled to keep the cry inside and just slowly put his head to the desk, wrapping his arms around his stomach. Damn it all.
He stood up.

Looking up from the book he was reading, Kaname automatically looked in the direction of the academic building when a curl of alarm slinked into his conscious mind. Zero was suffering again, just as he knew would happen, but this time, he also felt a little nauseous. Frowning, he closed the book and rose from his cushy armchair, squinting slightly at the light filtering through the curtains that crossed his eyes when he stood. It wasn't too late in the morning where a vampire was concerned, but he felt a little sleepy. Not being with Zero (save last night when he paid a visit to a certain sleeping hunter to whisper his love and apologies) was really taking its toll on him. If his body was capable of being so, he would have darkened circles under his eyes- definitely.
He felt a little silly for not being able to face Zero because of what had happened, but he was half-afraid of losing it again. Especially when he had not had serious interaction with the stoic teen for a while. It was bound to burst free when he saw him and it would only make matters worse, which was why he was avoiding Zero as much as he could. Last night was proof of that. When he had found out what Aidou had done, his emotions spiraled out of control for a second and dissolved the damn window, for God's sake. What if a person was there instead of a window? Kaname slid his eyes closed to calm down.
Of course, the zinging thirst-cries streaming in constantly from Zero's side was not helping calm him much. They were much stronger than they had been before Kaname went crazy on his neck...
He rubbed the bite-area which actually ached a little when he touched it. Perhaps he was doing this wrong... If he kept letting this want build up, he'd most likely hurt Zero when he saw him. And also, he had just got done telling Aidou that only Kaname's blood would help Zero, so what was avoiding him supposed to do? Out of sight, out of mind was not going to work here and Kaname stared at the floor for a moment weighing pros and cons...
He began to change back into some casual, dark-colored clothes.
--
Walking briskly across the courtyard, Zero winced every once and a while when the sun would suddenly become to irritating to his eyes and skin. Ah, the sun, though... It warmed his icy skin up pleasantly, albeit not by much.
He would probably hate himself after this was over, but at the moment, the only thing that mattered- the only thing that was running through his head right now- was Kaname. Kaname and his body. Kaname and his warmth. The pureblood's lips and voice and touch... and his blood. Zero allowed the sighing quiver that parted his lips now as he broke into a run. Not a full-out dash, but he needed to get to Kaname's room. Now. His desire was the only things that was not running cold along with his body.
God, who cared if Kaname was only using him... It was maddeningly delightful! He would forgive him, he would forgive Kaname Kuran, all right? And when Zero thought about it, the bite had been arousing, hadn't it? Maybe not when it was made, but he had noticed how sensitive his neck was where Kaname had bitten him. Pleasantly sensitive. Zero moaned a little just thinking about it, his legs carrying him a little faster as he sensed Kaname's powerful, pureblood aura in the Moon Dorms.
--
He did not feel so tired anymore as he made his way down the main stairway. Kaname was actually kind of excited that he had made the decision to go find Zero and resolve this. No doubt, the hunter would be mad... and may even reject him, but Kaname had to try. This was ridiculous. Anyway, Zero had to have known back then that Kaname would bite him eventually- they were practically lovers and they were both vampires. Wisely, Kaname would never make it Zero's fault like that, though, but he figured that Zero was smart enough to think about that.
His steps faltered in their purposeful strides when he felt an injection of arousal pass through their bond. It made him get a little lust-stricken as well and he wondered what the hell Zero was doing? He was in class, wasn't he?
Kaname, with a confused look, opened the doors quietly and slipped out, shutting them just as softly. As soon as he turned to meet the bright sun, more convincing and... knee-buckling evidence of Zero's state of being right now floated to him on the breeze. The scent of Zero's desire made his fangs throb and his body tremble. Zero was outside somewhere, then, or at least by an open window, if his mate-beckoning smell was like that. Mate-beckoning... Oh, Kaname was definitely coming now, don't worry... His steps fell on the grass in a way that could only be called motivated.
--
Okay, so maybe Zero was dashing down the path to the Moon Dormitory, this time.
He could feel his bodily lust and bloodlust both pounding through his body and he felt like a dog running to the sound of his food bowl being filled. Nothing really penetrated his senses other than the looming dormitory he was headed for. His thoughts were filled with imaginitive images of when he reached Kaname... the things Zero would do to him when he got there...
--
Kaname began releasing his own sex-scents at this point; Zero's had made his body do so, but Kaname didn't mind much. He wanted Zero to smell it- he wanted him to know just how he made him feel. If Zero was anywhere nearby, he had better be ready for when Kaname got to him...
--
...Was that Kaname coming down the path? Zero nearly fainted when the wind finally shifted and he caught the scent of lust coming from the other.
--
...Was that Zero? Was he coming this way on purpose to come and see the older vampire?
--
Both males thought about skidding to a halt, but at the sight of the crimson irises and the desperate and downright affectionate smiles on both faces, each settled for smushing the other with his body and crashing their mouths together in a heated clash of lips and fangs. They moaned at the much-needed and awaited-for contact and hair promptly became mussed and clothes wrinkled and half-ripped off right there in the middle of the walkway.
As Kaname moved his roving mouth to Zero's now exposed collarbone, the hunter remembered something that he was supposed to do.
"Kana... K-Kaname," he gasped, his head tilted back, hazily recognizing what was called the sky through the sexual fuzz. "I'm sorry... for... for the charm..."
"Forgiven," Kaname muttered, licking the reddening mark he left. "It was my fault anyway."
Zero moaned at the feel of the thigh at his groin and gripped at the pureblood's shoulders fervently, trying not to fall with his weakening legs. A faint, negative pain pressed down on his horniness when he continued, "And... And I don't mind if you are only using me..."
The loss of pressure in places made Zero whimper involuntarily and he looked dazedly at a devastated-looking Kaname.
"...Using you? What...?"
"For my blood and... my body... It's okay... I... I love the sensations either way, Kaname, so just... just don't ignore me anymore. I know that I am only a Level D," Zero whispered, his flaming need momentarily taken by sorrow. He had really hated having Kaname avoid him like the plague.
Kaname locked Zero's vulnerable gaze with his own concerned one as he held him there. The hunter thought that he had bitten him because he was there to be used? Because Zero's rank was lower than his? ...That was enough to make Kaname want to laugh- but the kind of laugh that a depressed and drunk person bellows out before transitioning smoothly into sobs.
"Zero, I didn't bite you because I wanted to use you..."
Zero's now want-darkened eyes widened in hope.
"Granted, I had not meant to do it so roughly and without permission, but I did it because I wanted to take some of you into me. The scent and bloodlust contributed, yes, but I was planning on doing it anyway. Blood exchanges feel good, Zero... I wanted to pleasure you."
A faint blush stole its way over the younger vampire's cheeks and he murmured, "Then... why did you say that I wasn't like the rest of you...?"
Kaname could have smacked himself in the forehead. He had known back then that he was going to screw it up.
"I had meant that you were human once, so you might not find biting and pain arousing like I would. A natural-born vampire would enjoy biting and scratching in love making. Thus, you are not like the rest of us. I would have to treat you gently and that had slipped my mind... I am sorry."
After a few moments of soaking this all in while the silver-haired teen stared at the rumpled clothes on the man in front of him, Zero looked back up, a slightly sly smirk on his already bruised lips.
"I think that you should show me how 'the rest of you' do it... That way I will understand your apology better."
Kaname grinned a grin that reached his eyes.
--
Author's Notes: Alot of you begged Kaname not to punish Aidou too harshly. Well... for Aidou, I think that taking all of his Pocky is just as bad as getting smacked. I made Kaname understand what Aidou was trying to do for him, so... sorry to those who wanted to see Kaname punish Aidou harder. (You sadistic people. X3 Just kidding.)
Ahahaha... I liked how that part when they were running to each other turned out- it tapered down, but got more urgent and then Wham! yaoi.
I think that the story will be coming to a close soon. Not now, but soon. I'm running out of songs by The Used that would fit with the scenarios... ;
However, I like some of their songs' lyrics and titles and think that some of them could work with other situations, so after this story, I will probably post a few one-shots or two shots or what have you with titles from their songs. ^^
Stick with Kaname and Zero 'til the end, okay? And leave them nice reviews! :3
