Chapter 10

It's almost 11 o'clock and Zero really doesn't want to walk inside that old clock tower. He really want to run away right now. He doesn't care what other people will call him. Coward, despicable or any things. You can call him names but he won't care. He just want to be far, far away from this place. He walk inside slowly. Silent. Just when he walk on top of that tower, he can hear someone else footsteps in there. He stop for a while.

"Just walk straight," say a voice but he knows who that voice belong to. Vampire Hunter president!

Zero just walk and when he arrived at the top of the tower, he can saw the Vampire Hunter president with his two bodyguards. He smile widely when he saw Zero's face. Zero tries to look around him. Looking for Yuuki.

"Are you looking for that Cross girl?" ask Vampire Hunter president. He smile darkly. "She is right over here," say the president before he move to his right. Zero's lilac eyes widened when he saw Yuuki lying unconsciously on the floor.

Zero glare at him. "Leave her alone! You want me, don't you?" bark Zero loudly. He tries to swallow his fears. He tries to move forward but stop quickly.

"Of course but if you move forward, she is a death meat," say the president calmly.

Zero just bite his lips.

"So, you really care for this girl. It's a pure luck when we saw both of you at town this evening. I really disappointed with you Zero. You dare to run away from me. Do you know what happen if you run away from me, your owner? Your fate is worse than death," say the president. He walk closer to Zero before he stand behind him. "You want this poor girl to get the same fate as you?"

Zero just bite his lips. Of course he doesn't want that. He remembers what will happen to Cross Kaien if he lost Yuuki. No, he won't allow that. And of course Kaname too won't forgive him. Kaname really loves Yuuki. When he remember that, he really want to cries. Kaname doesn't love him anymore. He has no one who loves him in this world so… even if he dies and disappears so suddenly, no one will care. Zero smile bitterly.

"I… I am so… sorry. Ple… please leave her alone. You want me, don't you? I… I will go back with you," asked Zero weakly. This time, he won't fight anymore. This is his fate.

The president smile widely. He stand in front of Zero and grab his face roughly. "Of course I want you. In 3 years after you disappeared from us, your face really look stunning. And because you are so obedient, I will give you some times to say your good bye to this world. After this, you will no longer have a right to look at the sun," say the presidents wickedly.

Zero just stand there silently. He feels horrible but he can't do anything. This is his fate. His fate is, he is not allowed to live happily and freely. He is destined to stay in hell.

"Four days. I will give you 4 days and then we will send you the address where you can come and collect this girl. Remember, 4 days only."

"But… you promise to leave her alone if I come," say Zero.

The president just smiles a little before he grab his purple fan. "I don't remember if I promise you anything. But I can promise you one thing. I won't touch her as long as you come back to us." The president walks away. He returns to his original pose.

"Before you go, I want you to drink this," say the president before he throw Zero a black bottle. "Drink it," order him.

Without another word, Zero just drinks it. He knows that it's a drug or maybe a poison. But he has no choice. He will save Yuuki this time. The president smile widely when he saw Zero drink that drugs.

"Okay, see you later," say the presidents before they all fled away and bring Yuuki with them.

Zero stand there with a blank face. 4 days. He only have 4 days. Maybe he should do something that he never done before. Weakly, Zero walk back to his room.

That night, Zero can't sleep even a wink. He is still planning how to spend his days left. 4 days. And now he already know what he want to do. Firstly, he want to meet Ichiru. He doesn't mean to meet Ichiru face to face because he just want to see him from far away. Ichiru had abandoned him so why must he meet him? He really doesn't have an idea.

After he take a bath, Zero quickly walk out from his room and he also bring his cap. It's to hide his silver hair. He already know where Ichiru and his adoptive family live. They live in the next town to his. Zero wait in front of the convenient store which he know Ichiru will always come. He doesn't need to wait for long. Just 30 minutes later, Ichiru come walk in front of the convenient store. Just like what he predicted, Ichiru really come and Ichiru is not alone. There are a few friends with him and a cute little girl clinging to his arm. Maybe Ichiru's girlfriend.

He look from the outside and he saw Ichiru buy a few can of soda and snack. Zero just watch in silent. Ichiru is smiling so happily. Did he already forget about him? Zero bit his lips tightly. When he saw Ichiru and his gang is going to walk out from the store, Zero quickly hides his face.

"Let's go to the karaoke bar. Let's hangout there," say one of Ichiru's friends.

"Karaoke bar? Okay," say Ichiru with a bright smile.

"I love you, Ichiru," say Ichiru's girlfriend. "Say… are you really doesn't have any sibling?" ask her and that question really made Zero's heart beat so fast.

"Yeah, I am an only child. I have a sister but she is already die," say Ichiru with a little smile.

"Wow, I am jealous of you Ichiru. I have a big brother one years older than me and two little sister. It's so annoying to be around them. But… I can't imagine how my life without them is. Even thought they are a little bit annoying but they always help me when I need it," say another guys with a goofy smile.

Ichiru just smile a little. Should he tell them that he got a twin brother? But… he already promised his odd parent that he will forget about Zero and even Vampire Hunter president also warned him about it. Maybe it's a bad idea to tell them.

Zero just bit his lips. Hard. Ichiru already forget about him. And he even doesn't admit that he got a brother. He don't mind to be 'death' for Ichiru but it hurt when Ichiru don't acknowledge his existent. Ichiru really abandoned him. Did he really doesn't have anyone in this world? Zero walk away silently. He smile a little. Like what he thought, no one will remember him after this when he is gone. Today is the first day and he still having 3 days left. It's a waste if he always thought about Ichiru. Zero walk to the nearest vegetable shop. Maybe he should cook something for Chairman Cross. Zero bite his lips. Did he should tell Chairman Cross about all this? About Yuuki? No, that is bad idea.

xoxoxoxo

Kaien Cross walking into the house happily when he smells something nice. He walk straight to the kitchen with a goofy grin on his face.

"Zero-chan, you cook something for me? Daddy is so happy!" scream Kaien Cross with a crocodile tears on his face. His face is shining with happiness.

Zero just smirked. "Just sit and eat. I will get the rice for you," say Zero.

"Thank you, Zero-chan. You are so kind. I love you," say Kaien Cross.

Zero smile a little when he stand behind Kaien Cross. 'I love you'. At least there is someone in this world who will love him and remember him after this. Even it is just Kaien Cross, it's still okay than no one will remember him. Zero walk to Chairman Cross and put a bowl of rice in front of him.

"Hmm, when I think about it, I don't see Yuuki today. Where is she? Did she still sleep in her room upstairs?" ask Kaien Cross. Its lunch hour already and usually, Yuuki will be here with them in the kitchen. Especially when Zero is the one who cooks in the kitchen. "I will go and call her," say Kaien Cross and without wait for Zero's reply, he run upstairs and goes straight to Yuuki's room.

Zero can hear his heart beat so fast. They will know that Yuuki is gone. And they will know that it's all his fault. He sighed. Just a few minutes later, Kaien Cross run down the stairs with worried face.

"Zero-kun, Yuuki is gone. Do you know where she is?" ask Kaien Cross.

Zero looks away. He can't look at his face. "Maybe he go to the Moon Dormitory to meet with Night class president," say Zero. He don't want to say Kaname's name. It hurt to talk about Kaname.

"Oh, maybe. I forgot that lately she always go there to meet Kaname," say Kaien Cross. He sit back and eat his lunch. Zero also eat his lunch but he can feel it's so hard to swallow. It feels like he tries to eat a sand paper.

"Zero, are you free tomorrow evening?" ask Kaien Cross. He still eat his lunch

Zero glance at Kaien Cross before he nodded his head. "Yeah, I am free. Why?" ask Zero.

"I want to ask you to come to the party with me. Are you okay with that?" ask him even thought he know that Zero will never agree with his idea.

"Okay," say Zero quickly.

"Really?!" Kaien Cross a little bit shocked to hear that. Did Zero really agree with his idea? Usually Zero will give him a glare and call him stupid, idiot or silly. Kaien Cross look at Zero suspiciously. 'Are you really Zero? You don't get sick, don't you?" ask Kaien Cross.

Zero just roll his eyes. "Don't be stupid, chairman. You want me to accompany you or not? Just give me your answer. Yes or no. I don't mind if I can't go," say Zero. He gather and take all the dishes into the sink.

"No, no, no…. I really want you to come with daddy, Zero-chan." Kaien Cross beg with his crocodile tears on his face. Zero just smirked.

xoxoxoxo

Just like that, Zero spend all his second days with Kaien Cross. He even do something that he never done before. Zero sighed tiredly. To spend the whole day with Chairman Cross, that was a bad idea. He not fit for that. It's too tiring.

When they arrived at their home that night after the party and many other things before, Zero is quite shocked when he saw Kaname is there. Waiting for them. More specific, waiting for Kaien Cross. Zero doesn't know what to do. He still not ready to see Kaname especially after what happen before. He looks away but he still steal a glance at Kaname. He has 2 days left.

"Chairman Cross, I am waiting for you," say Kaname without glance at Zero. He just focus his red-brown eyes at Kaien Cross.

"Oh, Kaname-kun, what can I help you?" ask Kaien Cross with sing song voice. Right now, he feel so happy. To spend the whole day with Zero, it feels like it was a dream. He take out the keys and open the fornt door so Kaname can enter. "Want to go to the office?" ask Kaien Cross once again.

"No, thanks. I just want to ask you something." Kaname walk inside and Zero follow slowly. He is quite nervous. Yes, Zero Kiryuu admit that he is nervous right now. Maybe Kaname want to ask about Yuuki.

"What it is?" ask Kaien Cross who just sit on the couch and make himself comfortable.

"I want to ask, did you know where is Yuuki? It's been two days since last I saw her in the forest." Kaname take a sit just in front of Chairman Cross. He look around him but not Zero.

"Hmm... now that you ask me that question, I also not see her for a while. I thought she go meet Sayori," say Kaien Cross. This is not the first time Yuuki not be at home so he is not worried. Everytime she have a problems, she will go to Sayori and sleep there in their room dorm.

I just meet her and she doesn't know where is Yuuki. And I found this," say Kaname and he put something on the table. That 'something' is wrap with thick clothes. When Kaien Cross unwrap it, his eyes widened. It is Yuuki's Artemis Rod. Yuuki won't go anywhere without it.

Zero feels like he want to die now. He hope that neither Chairman Cross or Kaname will ask him about Yuuki. He don't want to lie anymore.

"Where did you found it?" ask Kaien Cross anxiously. He take the rod and it is really Yuuki's. Where did Yuuki go? He hope that Yuuki will be okay. Kaien Cross quickly walk to his office and Kaname and Zero tailing him from behind. They don't know why Kaien Cross go to his office at a time like this. When Kaien Cross go to his drawer and take his mobile phone out, they just sighed. He just want to check his phone. "It's weird. Yuuki don't give me any call. She never do this. Maybe there is something happen to her?"

"We will find her," say Kaname with determination.

Zero just keep quiet and slowly walk out from the office. He don't want to stay for another minutes. It's hard to be there when he know everyting but he cannot open his mouth.

Almost half an hour later, Kaname walk out from Kaien Cross office. He is worried about Yuuki but he do not show it. Calmly he walk to the stairs when he sense Zero's presence. He want to ignore it but Zero's voice stop him from moving.

"How about it? You know where did she go?" ask Zero. He want to talk with Kaname even for a while. Although Kaname do not look towards him, even for a second, Zero want to hear his voice.

"No. We don't know. And I thought you are there in the office with us." Kaname say it without look at Zero.

"Yeah, I was there but I get out half an hour before you. I am quite thirsty so I go to find something to drink," say Zero before he take another sip of his drink. Zero know that he have low tolerance for alcohol but for now, he need it.

"You drink?" ask Kaname. Suddenly he remember what happen when Zero is drunk. Shit! He need to forget about it. He must forget about it!

"It's quite lonely to drink alone. You want to join me?" ask Zero. He just ask out of courtesy because he know that Kaname will decline his offer. And it's not like he hope that Kaname will accept it. Okay, he lie. He really want Kaname to take his offer.

Kaname just stay quiet for a while before accept Zero's offer. It's not hurt to accept Zero's offer and drinks all Kaien Cross stocks of wine. Just for tonight, he will accept Zero's offer and after this, he won't look and think about this silver hair hunter anymore.

Zero is a little bit shocked but he quickly ask Kaname to follow him. He don't bring Kaname to the living room but he bring Kaname to his room. Kaname frowned. After Kaname enter his room, Zero let Kaname close the door while he pour Kaname a drink.

"You know, I cannot let you drinks outside because chairman will kill me if he know I drinks. And I stole his wine tonight so just bear with it when you need to drinks here. Sorry," say Zero quietly. He sit on his bed while Kaname sit next to the window. The window is open so the fresh air from the forest feel so good tonight. Zero sighed. He look at Kaname. Pretty. Kaname look so pretty under the moon light. Kaname look like a pure creature from will bury this image in his mind so when he miss Kaname, he will remember tonight.

Zero smile a little. Pure? Of course Kaname is pure. Everything about Kaname is pure and he is a pureblood vampire so no one can deny it. Kaname is flawless. Meanwhile... he is a shame. Everything about him is a shame, dirty and ugly. His body, even his blood is screaming filthy. He remember the ugly scar in his body. If he can erase all the scars, will he be pure like Kaname? Will Kaname accept him? Zero can feel the headache and he drinks more wine. He don't want to remember that tonight is the last night he can be with Kaname.

Kaname just sit there and keep quiet. It is a good thing that Zero is an introverted. He look at the moon. Tonight is a full moon. And from Zero's room, he can view the moon clearly.

"Hey Kiryuu, are you really don't know where Yuuki is?" ask Kaname quietly and when he look at Zero, the said hunter already drunk and lean on the wall.

"Yuuki... Yuuki... that's all you can think?" say Zero slurred. He glance at Kaname and slowly, he stand on his feet and walk toward Kaname. He stand in front of Kaname and threw his self on Kaname's chest.

Kaname is a little bit shocked. Zero is a lightweight drinker. He should know that. He want to push Zero away but Zero's body heat feel so good on his body.

"Neee... Kaname... just for tonight... please embrace me and forget about Yuuki. Just for tonight," say Zero pleaded. He hug Kaname's neck so Kaname cannot push him away.

"You are drunk, Kiryuu," say Kaname. He don't move and he also did not try to release the arms of Zero on him.

"Even if I am drunk, what is the problem? I just want you to embrace me. You can't?" ask Zero with watering eyes.

Kaname sighed. He should know that drunken Zero is a bad thing. He look at Zero's lilac eyes. How can I refuse when Kiryuu's eyes is like this? "Kiryuu... you know that we will regret it later and this is the second time. You don't want this," say Kaname.

"Even if I will regret it later, why do you care? Just like you said, this is not the first time so we have nothing to lose. If we already have our first time, it won't change anything if we do it for the second time. Please Kaname, you can blame me later." Zero stubbornly hugs on Kaname. This is his last chance. No matter what it takes, he will make Kaname embrace him. To tell the truth, he is not that drunk. He just drinks so he will get the courage to approach Kaname. So in the morning, he can blame his drunken state and Kaname won't know anything.

Kaname sighed once again. "You will regret this. If this is what you want, I will embrace you this time. Just this time and after this, we will back to normal. I will forget about it and I will blame you if anything happen," say Kaname before he slowly push Zero on the bed.

Zero just smile a little. He doesn't know what to say when Kaname hold him that night. Kaname's not being gentle with him but he also not being rough. Unconsciously, there is tears on his cheek. His chest fell so hurt. It's hurting so much that he want to screaming and crying out loud. I wonder why it feel so hurt? Doesn't this is what I want? Maybe because, Kaname is holding me but he doesn't love me like I hope him to? He don't even kiss me. Zero just let his tears flows and vanish into the blanket. Even if Kaname look at him now, Kaname won't know what his tears for.

Both Zero and Kaname don't aware that there is something throwing into Zero's room late in the morning.
