Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight...:(
"Anything?" Zero whispered to Kaname as they crouched atop a building. They were currently looking around the city for any sighs for the vampires. No such luck yet. The only ones they saw where level C's and definatly not involved in anything.
Kaname just shook his head in response to the hunters question, his brown hair flying around his face. He had been avoiding Zero all night, he couldn't bear to be near the hunter after realizing his feelings. He was worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself around the hunter and would blurt out his feelings. Hopefully Zero hadn't noticed anything strange. Kaname peeked out of the corner of his eyes at the prefect. Kaname felt his breath catch softly in his throat, the moonlight turned Zero's hair a beautiful shinning silver, the prefects deep eyes sparkled. Kaname quickly shook his head, he needed to get control of himself. And fast.
Zero frowned, something was defenatly upsetting the pureblood, but clearly Kaname was to stubborn to talk about it. Zero would listen, he might not care, but he'd listen. Zero sighed in frustration and turned to looked back over the city. It was beautiful, the light shinng, stars twinkling, and it was peacefully silent. He inhaled deeply of the night air wrapping his arms around himself and shivering as a breeze blew past them. He breathed into his hands hoping to warm them. They had been sitting in the same spot for hours, hoping to find some clue as to where this slave trade was going on. So far, nothing.
"Cold?" Kaname asked, looking over at the shivering hunter. Zero grunted and shook his head, Kaname sighed, the hunter could be so stubborn sometimes. Zero hadn't even brought a coat with him, claiming that he would be fine. All he was wearing was a long sleeved t-shirt that clearly wouldn't keep him warm on even the warmest nights.
Kaname sighed and shrugged out of his black coat, and threw it at Zero hitting the distracted hunter in the face. "Hey!" Zero exclaimed, pulling the thick coat off of his face and glaring at the calm looking pureblood."What the hell was that for?" He asked, about to throw it back.
Kaname held up a calming hand. "You looked cold and you will be no help to anyone if you freeze to death," Kaname said calmly, turning back to the city.
"What about you?" Zero snapped, glaring at the pureblood.
Kaname shrugged,"I can survive colder temperaters naked," Kaname said calmly watching the hunter out of the corner of his eye.
"So, what makes you think I want to wear you fucking coat?" Zero scowled. What did he look like, some girl who he would give his coat to?
Kaname sighed,"You are wearing a white shirt, even human would be able to spot you."
Zero scowled and turned his glare to the coat in question. The stupid pureblood was right damn him, what the hell had Zero been thinking wearing a white shirt? With a final huff, Zero shrugged into the coat and buttoned it up.
Zero unconsciously inhaled the pureblood's intoxicating scent. He shot a quick look at the pureblood who seemed to be ignoring him and muttered a quick thanks. Kaname just tilted his head towards Zero and nodded. Kaname would never admit how pleased he was seeing Zero in his coat.
A loud shattering shoud jerked them both out of their inter thoughts. Their heads snapped down as they leaned over the top of the building. Zero groaned in frustration when he realized that it had been just a cat. He scowled and leaned back against the wall of the building, watching Kaname's back. It was weird, he noticed, how well the pureblood seemed to blend into the night. The shadows covered him perfectly. Zero scowled, he had been paying way too much attention to the pureblood lately.
Kaname sighed softly, even his patience was getting thin. They had been everywhere in the city and had found nothing, Kaname was starting to get frustrated, and being so agonizingly close to the prefect defenitly wasn't helping his mood. He rocked back on his heels and tiltled his head back to look at the sky. The sun was just starting to rise. Kaname sighed again, this time and relief, and turned to Zero.
"I believe we should leave now, the sun is rising," Kaname said casualy. He saw intense frustration flash across Zero face. Kaname longed to comfort the hunter, Zero was prabaably more affected by this than anyone. He was forcefully turned into a vampire after all, so he knew the cruelty in which they were capable of.
Zero groaned and lurched ungracefullly to his feet, both of his legs had somehow fallen asleep. He stretched his arms up and over his head, hearing his knuckles crack. He reached for the pureblood's coat but Kaname held up one hand. "Don't give it back quite yet, the mornings still quite cold," Kaname said, it was the truth after all, it was in the middle of fall.
Zero nodded his thanks and stopped trying to take the coat off. He turned and headed to the ladder that was located at the side of the building. He went down first, mentaly cursing himself for not wearing gloves the whole way down.
Kaname hid his amused smile at Zero's antics. Kaname had warned Zero that it was cold. He dropped gracefully as only a vampire could, from the five foot drop that was at the end of the ladder. Then quickened his pace in order to catch up to the hunter. Who had hurried off in the direction of the hotel.
"Today was our last day," Zero said shortly.
Kaname nodded in regret, the Vampire Council and The Vampire Hunter Siocety had ordered them to return in the evening before, the conversation hadn't gone well...
"What do you mean we have to come back tomorrow?" Zero had shouted in outrage as Kaname sat there silently.
"Thats an order Kiryu," The Society's presedent had ordered. Zero face had fluched and angery red as he stalked out of the room, slaming the door behind him, causing the pictures on the walls to shake.
Kaname, who had still been slightly distracted from discovering that he loved the stubborn hunter, didn't hear what the president said. He only snapped out of his thoghts when a horribly fimiliar voice came on the line.
"Hello, Kaname," The voice drawled.
"Ichijo," Was all Kaname said, redicuosly looking at the door and hoping that Zero would come back.
"You must return," Ichijo said, a cruel note in his voice. Kaname swallowed hard.
"Of course. I will be returning with Kiryu," Kaname said, relieved at how stable his voice sounded.
"The Level E," Kaname could hear the sneer in Ichijo's voice. He felt fury rise in him. How dare he insult Zero! Kaname just manage to get control of himself before he said something.
"Yes."
"I can't wait to see you Kaname..." Ichijo drawled before hanging up. Kaname had sat there silent and staring at the phone until Zero had come barging into the room. Knocking the pureblood out of his silent misery.
Kaname felt a small smile on his mouth at the thought, no matter what happened, Zero would always stay the same. No matter what...
"Do you not want to go back?" Kaname asked softly, he saw the hunter scowl, clearly he had touched a nerve.
Zero shrugged, sticking his hands deep into his pockets, why would the pureblood care? As soon as they got back to the school they would see Yuki, she would hug Kaname and Kaname would gaze at her like she was his world. Zero felt a strange sqeezing feeling in his chest at the thought. But this time it wasn't about Yuki...
They reached the hotel quickly, the limo was already there waiting for them, they had both packed there bags before they left. Kaname got in the limo after Zero. The prefect sat oppisite to him, arms crossed and stared out the window.
"Don't jump out of the car this time," Kaname said wryily. Kaname sighed when Zero didn't respond and looked out at his own window, watching the passing people and houses go by.
Suddenly his coat hit him in the face. He blinked in surprise and reached up and took it off his face,turneding slightly to see a glaring hunter.
"Tell anyone about that, and I'll shoot you. I don't care what it does to me Kaname," Zero said flatly turning to look out the window again, ignoring the pureblood.
Kaname rested his chin on his hand to cover his smile, Zero had called him by his first name.
-Hours Later-
"My son!" Chairman Cross yelled, lunging at Zero, who managed to back away just in time. Kaien went flying to the ground.
"I'm not your son!" Zero growled, glaring down at his idiot adopted father. Who knew an ex-hunter could be so damn stupid.
"Awwww," Kaien mumbled into the dirt. He knew that Zero wouldn't hug him, but he really had missed the moody hunter.
"Zero, Kaname!" Yuki said, cheerfully running into Kaname's arms. Kaname looked down at Yuki, he realized his still did love her, just not the same way as before. He wrapped his arms around her and placed a gentle kiss on the top of her head.
Zero frowned when he looked over at the embracing pair. Where was the usual jelousy that always came when he saw Kaname and Yuki together? He shook his head, what had the freaking bond done to him? "Zero, are you alright?" Yuki asked seriously, pulling away from Kaname in order to stand in front of Zero to make sure he was OK. She carefully searched his eyes for any sigh of red bofore hugging him tightly. She had missed both Kaname and Zero so much! She briefly felt Zero's arms around her before he let go and pushed her gently away from him. She smiled up at him, glad he was alright.
"So, Kaname-sama, you have returned," Kaname froze at the sound of that damning voice. He turned and saw Takuma's grandfather Asato Ichijo approching. He inhaled deeply and put a fake smile on his face. Zero saw Zero watching him, god Kaname hoped Zero wouldn't leave him with Asato.
"Yes, what are you doing here?" Kaname asked, glaring slightly. Inside he was trembling.
"I need to talk to you," Ichijo's gaze flickered to their onlookers. "Alone."
Kaname nodded, he needed to ask Asato for help anyways. "Of course, shall we?" Kaname asked, waving and arm towards the forest. Asato nodded and strode forwards, his head raised high. Kaname reluctantly followed him deeper and deeper into the forest.
"So, Kaname, you have something to ask me?" Asato asked, although it was more of a statement than and question. Kaname nodded once, briskly. "I need your assistance finding out who is controling this slave trade."
Ichijo smiled, well, well, well, he thought. I practially have the pureblood in the palm of my hands, I wonder how desperater he is for help. Ichijo observed Kaname silently for a moment before smiling."Of course I'll help, for a price," He smiled evilly at Kaname.
Inwardly Kaname winced he knew what Ichijo wanted, there was a faint hope inside of him so he had to ask,"And what might that be?"
Ichijo laughed, it was a cruel sound. "Why you know what I want Kaname, you blood."
Kaname felt his heart leap into his throat when Ichijo stepped closer. He kept his face expressionless thought, he did not what Ichijo to know what power he had over him. "I will think about it," Kaname said, acting distracted, as if he had already forgotten Asato was even there. He saw the noble stiffen slightly.
"Of course Kaname-sama," Ichijo bowed, before stalking off towards the school again, probably to go see Takuma.
Kaname stood there, what was he going to do? He truely needed help, and any other vampire would demand the same price, so what choice did he have?
"Kuran!" A voice called from behind him. Kaname inhaled a calming breath and turned to face the silver haired hunter who was now stalking towards him. He pulled out another fake smile. "Kiryu-kun, I thought you would be in bed by now."
Zero snorted, like he was going to bed when so many dark emotions were coming through the bond, and that blood sucking freak was here. "What did you and vampiree freak talk about?" Zero snapped, deciding not to answer Kaname's question. He frowned, why was the pureblood so pale?
Kaname felt the smile fade from his face. "Nothing," Kaname said flatly, he would refuse to tell Zero.
Zero glared at the pureblood for a moment before finally breaking the silence. "Tell me," Zero hesitated. "...Please." Zero practically spat out, wincing at how pathetic he sounded.
Kaname blinked, had Zero just said please? Kaname slowly shook his head, but then stopped, what would Zero really do, chances are he would encourage Kaname to allow Ichijo to drink his blood. Kaname inhaled again and ridded all emtion from his voice. "Ichijo has offered to help us," Kaname said.
Zero scowled, if there was one thing he knew for certian it was that vampires always had a price. "What does he want in return?"
"My blood."
Zero froze as a million emtiom washed over him, fury, anger, hurt, hurt that Kaname would ever give anyone else his blood. And fury and anger because Kaname seemed to not care. "What, you didn't agree did you?" Zero asked, stalking forwards until he was one inch away from Kaname.
Kaname shrugged,"Not yet."
Zero bared his fangs and leaned in close until his face was inches away from Kanames. He didn't understand one emtion that was going through him, all he knew was that he wanted Kaname to stop talking like that. Now. Or at least for him to refuse! But the look in Kanames eyes said it all, he would not refuse. Above them the leaves suddenly exploded of the tree.
Kaname frowned, why was Zero reacting so violently? It made no sense. Perhaps he should try again. "I will allow him to-" Kaname was cut off when a pair of lips slammed against his and a pair of arms grabbed him and dragged him against Zero's body, Kaname gasped.
Why was he doing this, Zero thought as he pressed his lips to Kaname's. He felt like the pureblood was about to speak and pressed his lips harder to Kaname's losing himself in the sensations. Right now, he didn't care about anything, all that mattered was the kiss.
And that was what Yuki saw as she was walking around trying to find Zero and Kaname.
She saw them both in a tight embrace, clinging to each other as if their life depended on it. It was sweet, she thought. Two lovers embracing in the sunlight, multiple colored leaves falling softly around them. Zero's hair sparkling in the sun, Kaname's back was to the sun so he looked like he was surrounded by a halo.
Yuki smiled sadly and slowly back away. She did want them to get along, after all. So she supposed she got her wish. She turned around and headed towards the school, allowing the two boys time to themselves.
Awwww, now wouldn't that be a sweet sight? Kaname and Zero in each others arms, leaves falling softly around them?
