A/N: Life has been crazy, which is why I haven't updated in like forever but that changes today! Yay! Here's the latest chapter of our still not totally out couple and various other troublesome characters! Please read and enjoy! ~Rena-chan

Ch. 9 (I think?)

Aido watched as yet again his cousin returned to the moon dorms with Kiryuu Zero beside him. No one understood what the hell was going on between the two but it had the younger blond on edge. Not only did his cousin start sticking up for the brat when Aido was going on one of his rants but he actually genuinely seemed as though he was, Satan forbid, enjoying the company of the silver-haired teen. 'No, he must be doing it to gain the guy's trust then break him. There can't be another reason for them being together so often. Kain wouldn't willingly hang out with him otherwise.' Aido tried to reason with himself but it wasn't working too well when he saw his cousin smile and chuckle at something the other had said over dinner. That was something else that had started up, that no one else understood, Kiryuu was actually cooking meals for Kain, the girl Sayo, and himself. They weren't simplistic things either! It was like he was turning into Kain's personal chef!

"He's staring again." Sayo whispered uncomfortably from where she, Zero and Kain were sitting. She had started to get used to the older student being around Zero and herself when they were in the dorms. Kain was one of the easier ones to get along with she found out quickly, and though he intimidated her a bit he wasn't ever outright cruel or teasing like some of the others were.

"I'm pretty sure that's a glare..." Zero lightly corrected taking a glance back at Aido whose eyes were burning a hole in the back of his neck, a not so recent development he found incredibly annoying but decided it wasn't worth the argument to confront him about it. Kain glanced over Zero's shoulder and raised an eyebrow at his cousin, he knew Aido's distaste for Zero just as everyone else did but it was getting on his nerves that his boyfriend was being glared at alll the time by his cousin. Normally Kain would be constantly worrying over Aido, but now that he had Zero he realized even more how rude he could be.

"That's Aido for you. Ignore it as best you can Sayo, eventually he'll go find someone else to seethe at." he suggested turning back to the pasta in his plate.

"More like seethe with." Zero pointed out, gesturing to the other pair of eyes that were glaring in their direction though not as blatantly as Aido's. A quick glance revealed Ruka's burning eyes looking in their direction. Sayo didn't ever want to meet eye to eye with Ruka, she was terrifying plane and simple.

"That one is harder to ignore..." she agreed, with Ruka not only did you get the cold hatred but also the burning judgement of her staring. It was a wicked combination but it fit Ruka perfectly. Kain couldn't really help but to agree with the young girl, Ruka was something of a thorn in his side at times, but he knew he wouldn't ever be able to get close to changing her mind or making her see reason. Hopefully at some point he would have a chance with his cousin.

"Just do your best Sayo." he told her as Zero cleared their plates and headed off towards the kitchen to wash up, the other two quickly followed. "Tomorrow is the weekend, I was thinking about fulfilling that dinner I promised you a while ago Zero, I've looked at a few places but why don't you look at the menus to see if there is a certain specific place you want to go." he started when Sayo left to get her homework done for the weekend. Zero nodded, albit hesitantly.

"You know you really don't have to do that for me, I didn't do anything to deserve it after all." he replied, Kain simply rolled his eyes. It had hit him in the face rather hard at how much Zero didn't see himself as worthy of positive attention.

"Well you don't take orders from anyone but Yagari so if I get on my knees and beg you would that work better?" the older vampire joked causing Zero to snort and try to hide the minor blush at that embarrassing image. Kain found that through humor he could get Zero to do pretty much whatever he asked, either that or he just embarrassed him enough until the younger gave in. Oh yes, he had Zero way more figured out than even Zero knew. 'No wonder Ichir had it so easy when it came to getting Zero to do whatever he wanted.' he had always thought the older twin was too lenient of his younger brother's antics especially for the no-nonsense person Zero showed himself to be. But then again, Ichiru had Zero more than wrapped around his finger, and Kain could see why he kept it that way. The older was a lot softer, protective, he provided whatever Kain needed even if the noble said nothing to him. It was amazing how attentive to detail he was.

"I'm sure anywhere you pick will be too expensive anyway but I'll look through whatever you want me to if it gets you to shut up about it around Seij." Zero eventually verbally replied. Kain felt a small triumphant look come across his face at that. He had purposefully interjected in Zero and Seij's interactions at work, he wasn't the most possessive person but the other model had gotten on his nerves time and time again with making Zero visibly uncomfortable.

"It gets the jackass to leave you alone doesn't it? He's annoying everyone in the studio anyway, there's no reason not to shove his boastful attitude back in his face once in awhile." Kain reasoned with a shrug that the silverette shot a halfhearted glare at.

"It's incredibly embarrassing! Besides, that's just how Seij is, I don't see a reason to make him more pissed off than he already gets." the younger mumbled looking away while he dried the dishes and put them on a rack.

"Do you think he's going to do something?" Kain asked seriously noticing how Zero rubbed over a spot on his arm that Seij had aggressively grabbed during one of their brief breaks between shoots. Zero shrugged but the small flash of uncertainty in his eyes left Kain wondering if there was something he didn't know about going on behind the scenes. Never let it be said Zero wasn't good at keeping secrets, even from those he held closest to him.

"Do you who is going to do something?" Aido's voice sounded from the doorway to the kitchen causing the other two to turn and Sayo to flinch violently and hide behind Zero.

"I don't see this conversation as any of your business." Zero answered narrowing his eyes at the intruding blond.

"If it has to do with where you're taking my cousin every night then yes I believe it is my business!" the other fumed.

"No it's not Hanabusa, and he's not taking my anywhere, I decided to go. I'm leaving him of my own will." Kain sighed, he figured Aido would confront them soon enough but he didn't think it would be so soon much less in a conversation about Seij.

"What has he brain washed you or something Kain?! Are you going mad? This is Kiryuu we're talking about here! You've been around him day in and day out for absolutely no good reason! And what's this I hear about you going to get dinner with each other now huh? What are you doing Kiryuu, you going to poison him and leave my cousin for dead? Is that what you're scheming?!" Aido continued on, Zero turned to Sayo and motioned for her to leave the room, there was no way this would turn into a pleasant or civil conversation.

"Are you out of your mind Aido? Zero wouldn't do that and I know you're not truly dumb enough to believe he would! Jesus you talk as though he's some monster that is here to kill us all off and take over the world as an evil dictator! What do you actually know Aido? Aside from all your assumptions and false information what do you actually know?" Kain fire back stepping in front of Zero protectively.

"What?! You're accusing me of making him out to be a monster?! He is a monster, unkind, worthless thing and everyone else knows it apparently except you and scaredy-cat upstairs! What has gotten into you Kain, what happened to you!"

"I stopped listening to you and Ruka and all the other assholes that make up the school because guess what Aido, not every Satan damned rumor you hear is true! You need to wake up and open your eyes for fucks sake! You're my cousin and I tolerate your constant anger but this is too much, Aido you need to realise you're wrong about people!" Zero stood off to the side watching wide-eyed as the two cousins fought with each other, Aido's shocked look towards Kain was only there for a minute before his seething got the best of him and he outright physically attacked Kain.

A/N: Ahhh fighting! I love it, tune in to the next chapter to see what happens to the two cousins and of course Zero standing in the middle of a fight XD. Maybe Kain will accidently confess? Or maybe Aido will truly hurt someone? Who knows! I'll update as soon as possiblle and I hope you all enjoyed it! ~Rena-chan.
