Chapter 12: Secret Plan, Dreams & Bonds?
Zero padded out of the bathroom, after washing his mouth out for the tenth time after the incident. He couldn't believe what had occurred as he'd never expected it. Ichijou had already planted in his head that he might like the pureblood prince but he didn't want to believe that. He just refused to accept that now as he had lay down on his bed in frustration. Ten times of washing and he still had been unable to wash away the sweet taste of Kaname's lips. Although, he'd never in his life, to anyone, admit that he liked the taste of the pureblood. He growled and closed his eyes, pulling the pillow over his head as if hiding the truth, the truth of what he thought about the kiss.

Kaname punched the mirror breaking the glass and shattering the image that replayed in his mind through his reflection. He stepped away from the mirror as he looked at his knuckles, the bleeding wound healing quickly. He couldn't believe it, he kissed Zero. He was the one who leaned in and let their lips touch, feeling the heat that was sparking between them. What the hell was he thinking? Something was going wrong obviously and for once in his entire lifetime he didn't know what it was. He was thousands of years old and in truth, he had never encountered anything like this before. So what was going on? What was happening that he obviously knew nothing about? He walked out of the bathroom and decided to go and seek his answers out. Ichijou had said that the professor had more books that might help. Or perhaps he'd just ask the professor instead of researching.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________________
Takuma sighed hearing the smashing in Kaname's room. He figured that something else had obviously happened between the two and whatever it was, left both the hunter and the pureblood with an enormous amount of anger. While he wasn't quite sure on how Zero had reacted to whatever new incident took place, he was still sure that he was just as upset as Kaname. The blonde pondered on whether or not he should pay Zero a visit or his best friend. Or he could skip seeing them altogether and go have a word with a certain blue-eyed blonde about his plot to get two unsuspecting people together as lovers. Now which would be the easiest thing to tackle?
'If I go and see Aidou and we come up with an idea to get them together I can go and see Kiryuu after. If I don't like what I hear and feel it necessary to move things along faster, then Aidou and I can activate our plan right away….or perhaps I should go and see Kaname and Zero…if I see them first, I'll know if a plan is needed at all and then talk to Aidou. Oh but Aidou might think I'm only doing it just because they are denying each other and he'll refuse to help. If it seems it was planned from the beginning, Aidou can be told if our plans are needed or not and he won't be suspicious of my sudden interest….hmm…what would Kaname do?' he thought while seeming to be focused on his manga.
Shiki was bored on Takuma's bed and sighed yawning. He shifted over to the blonde for a bit and kissed his neck bringing Takuma out of his thoughts, Senri couldn't deny it, he was curious and with his lover lost in thought the way that he was, it would seem that there was something rather interesting on his mind.
"What are you thinking Takuma?"
"Hmm? Oh sorry Senri…wait what do you mean-"
"I mean what are you thinking? You've been sitting there reading that same page for the past 5 minutes, you never take that long to read a page, even when looking at the pictures, what's on your mind?" he asked taking the manga out of the blonde's hands and setting it next to them on the bed, making sure to keep the book open on the page it was at. Senri wrapped his arms around the green-eyed vampire's waist and licked his neck.
Ichijou sighed, "ah you know me too well….I was thinking….about Kiryuu-kun and Kaname-sama…"
"Hn…what about them?" he nuzzled the blonde sliding his right hand slightly lower to Takuma's belt.
"Well if I didn't know any better, I'd say they are secretly starting to like each other…but I'm not sure if its of their own free will or the fact that Kaname is feeding Kiryuu his blood…" he smiled at what his lover was doing and leaned back against him happily.
It had been a year since they confessed their love for each other, and while everyone thought Rima and Senri were together, they were horribly mistaken. Rima had no interest in Shiki that way, instead she had planned to be independent for as long as she could be, without needing a man. She wanted to enjoy her life, while the red head was ready to have a lover.
"What makes you think that?"
"Ever since that first night, those two have become stranger around each other than normal. I know one thing happened, they had sexual dreams of the other last night. And tonight it would seem something happened again. Didn't you hear Kaname-sama break something?"
"Hai, along with smelling his blood. But I thought it was the usual. Guess I really need to pay more attention to things," he smiled turned Takuma to face him a bit more. Senri leaned in and kissed the blonde lovingly.
And Takuma didn't have a problem with that either. He loved it when Shiki would show him affection. So giving in he leaned in closer and kissed his lover in return before they broke the kiss. "Do you think I'm right then?"
"Well it would make more sense if they were on the verge of liking each other. I don't think that sharing blood would cause them to dream of the other," Shiki stated calmly.
"This is why I love you, you always get what I'm saying," Ichijou kissed Shiki again and smiled sweetly.
Senri smiled back, "well knowing you, you've got plans, so go. But hurry back to me, I haven't had you in a few days," he smirked and released the male in front of him. He lay back on the bed licking his lips, eyes still locked on his lover.
"Hai, I'll try to hurry back for your sake. But try not to have too much fun while I'm gone," he stood up and winked at Shiki, eyes trailing down to his lover's erection before going back up again to Senri's face.
Senri smirked and pulled the covers over him, "I won't, this time I'll wait, but don't make me wait for too long," he yawned as if bored again and turned on his side, watching Takuma still.
"Alright I got it, soon. Aishiteru!" he said walking to the door, opening it and closing it behind him.
But not before hearing Senri answer him back, "Aishiteru Takuma."
The blonde was out of his room and headed further up the hallway to Aidou's. He knocked quietly on the door, hoping Akatsuki wouldn't be there. If the fire vampire was there then there would be no way for Takuma to speak with Aidou on this matter. Akatsuki wasn't one to meddle and if there was no real proof, he tended to stay away from any situation completely. So a situation such as this wouldn't please him to help either.
_________________________________________________________________________
Hanabusa had been in his room. He was looking through his collection happily. No cousin of his around to annoy him and try to toss out his stuff. He sighed happily that is until he heard a knock on the door. Quickly he stood up off the floor and threw all of his things back into its box, covering the shoebox and shoving it under his bed. He then brushed himself off to straighten his pajamas and calmly walked over to the door opening it to reveal the Vice President of the Moon Dorm. Automatically Aidou thought he had been in trouble or that someone found out about his new collection. "I didn't mean too honestly…I just-"
"No, no, your not in trouble calm down Hanabusa. I just came to speak with you, is Akatsuki around?" he asked calmly standing outside of the door still.
"Ah no why? Do you need him too?"
"No just you, I just wanted to be sure you were alone."
"Oh I see, then please come on in," he smiled and opened the door wider for the green eyed vampire to come in.
Takuma walked in and turned around waiting for Aidou. The smaller blonde closed the door and turned around facing Ichijou.
"So what's going on?" he asked curiously.
"Well I wanted to ask you if you've noticed anything going on between Kaname-sama and Kiryuu-kun?"
"AH! I knew it! I'm not the only one who thought they were secretly together!!! Yes!! Finally I've got some proof that I can-" Aidou was cut off seeing as he had nearly jumped off the wall thinking he had proof for Akatsuki.
"Not quite. I'm not a source of proof. But I do suspect the same as you. Well sort of. I mean they aren't-" but this time Takuma was cut off.
"They are having a fight right now, I know that. That's why I have to get them together again. If I don't help them make up again I won't get the proof I need to show Akatsuki that KANAME-SAMA IS ACTUALLY GAY! Or at least bi like Akatsuki might say," suddenly Aidou seemed to have a determined look on his face. He was going to get them 'back' together no matter what.
Takuma was shocked to even hear this. For one thing, Aidou had gotten it wrong as he thought they were already together, just in a fight. And another being that the ice vampire actually wanted to help them 'get back' together was just as weird since everyone knew how he felt about the hunter. But the taller blonde decided to wing it. He'd let Aidou believe whatever was necessary just so he could help those two become lovers like it was seemingly meant to be.
"That's great! Then if you want, I'd be happy to help you with that. Honestly, you know I don't like to see Kaname-sama in any kind of pain and well, you know he'll hide any pain that he may be in."
"Yes that's true! Wait….you would really help me Ichijou?" he asked curiously.
"Well of course, I only want what's best for Kaname and at the moment it's the hunter. Their fight, I know what it was and they just fought over Yuuki, something she did and Zero scolded her then Kaname was angry at Zero for scolding her….that sort of thing," he explained. The vice president knew exactly what would push Aidou into helping even further. And the fact that Aidou disliked Yuuki, would make him want to help Kaname and Zero if it meant showing Yuuki that she can't keep them apart. He liked Zero more than the girl so saying she caused the fight was what would drive more determination into the ice vampire. Especially with the plan that Ichijou had, that might involve Aidou doing something he wouldn't want to do under any other circumstances.
"WHAT?! THAT GIRL IS THE REASON?! Then we definitely have to help them! I'll do whatever it takes, nothing can stop me!!! So what will we do…I don't exactly have a plan…." Idol admitted, rubbing the back of his head in slight embarrassment after the show he just put on.
Ichijou sweatdropped as he sighed and smiled, "well I've got an idea…this is what we'll do…" he pulled Aidou closer and began whispering to the smaller noble what their devious plot to 'reunite' the two 'lovers' would be. Aidou was all for it and decided to go and purchase what was needed if Takuma said they were to go through with the plan. But for now, the ice vampire knew he was to stand down for the moment. That Takuma would go and talk to the two unsuspecting vampires first.
_______________________________________________________________________________________
Meanwhile, Kaname had gone to see the Night Class professor. He needed to find out what he could about dreams. So he left the Moon Dorm and headed out to town and over to the home his professor stayed at, which wasn't that far of a walk from the Academy lucky for him.
He approached the home that the professor was in and knocked on the door, "Professor Takashi its Kaname Ku-" but he didn't even have to finish his sentence as the older vampire, at least by looks, opened the door for the pureblood.
"Kaname-sama what a nice surprise, please, come on in, make yourself comfortable, do have a seat," he said happily opening the door wider for him.
Kaname nodded and walked into the professor's home. He looked around a bit before removing his coat and resting it on the coat rack nearby. He then strolled over to the kitchen table and sat down as it seemed Takashi was having dinner.
Takashi closed the door and walked over to the table, "would you care for something to eat Kaname-sama? Or perhaps something to drink?" he offered.
"No thank you, except for some wine if you have," he said calmly. He really could use some wine right now, especially after that kiss with the hunter. Anything to wash down the taste of the other male would be great, even though he, like Zero, secretly liked it.
The professor went to the kitchen and got a second glass, he put some ice cubes inside and walked back to the table. Taking up the bottle of red wine he had, he poured some of it into the glass he held and then handed Kaname the glass. He set the bottle back down and sat down in his chair, across from the pureblood, continuing to eat his meal.
Kaname had taken the glass with a quiet 'thank you' before drinking some of the red liquid. He set the glass down in front of him as he watched the professor.
"So what brings you here Kaname-sama?" he asked curiously taking a bite of his food and chewing.
"I was told you possessed books on dreams…I was thinking of borrowing them or that perhaps you yourself might know enough to help me…."
Takashi drank some wine then set the glass down. "Hai I do know a great deal on dreams, may I ask what the dream was?"
"Yuuki has been having some odd sexual dreams of someone she least expected," Kaname thought it best to use Yuuki in a situation like this. Sure, while no one knew who she really was, it benefitted him because they still knew he had feelings for her and always looked out for her.
"Hmm….it might help if you could tell me who of…" the professor ate the last bite of food from his plate and stood up taking the plate to the sink, setting it there and soaking it before returning to his seat.
"It was of her friend, that girl that shares her room, I don't recall her name. And of course I'd rather we keep this between us."
"Yes of course, well now…a sexual dream of her friend who is a female too....assuming she is not leaning towards women in the slightest way, I'd say she's having that dream because she is actually at least bi but doesn't either know it as yet or she refuses to admit to it…however if you wish to verify that…" he stood up again and went to the bookshelf scanning the rows of books on dreams. Finally coming across the one he thought was the best option, he took it back over to Kaname. Takashi placed the book before him.
"If there is the slightest chance I am wrong, it will be here in this book. It explains the reason of sexual dreams and has a chapter or two on a man dreaming of another or in this case a woman dreaming of a woman, you may take this of course and read through it, if there is anything else feel free to ask me again," Takashi said with a smile.
Kaname stood up and drank out the rest of his wine, "arigato professor, I shall return your book to you once I'm-"
"Oh no. No need to rush on that Kaname-sama, take it for as long as you need it. Now would you like another glass of wine?" he asked as he headed to the other end of the table to drink some more of his.
"No thank you, this is all for tonight. I must be going now," the pureblood said picking up the book off of the table and walking to the door.
"Ah well I will see you to the door," Takashi followed the prince to the door and grabbed Kaname's coat helping Kaname to put it on. He then opened the door for the pureblood and smiled at him, "good night Kaname-sama."
"Hai, good night and thank you again," with that Kaname walked out the door and into the night, back to the Moon Dorm.
The professor shut the door and returned to his wine, a smirk on his face as he had more news for the headmaster. He was no idiot, after the looks that night between Kaname and Zero, he knew now that they had dreamed of each other in a way they hadn't wished for.
___________________________________________________________________________________________________
Zero too had left his room. He had gone some time, while Ichijou spoke to his lover and to Aidou, and before Kaname left to see the Night Class professor. His plan was to go and speak with someone who could help him figure out just what was going on. His choice in advice was his master. At this time of the night, he knew Yagari-sensei would be at Kaien's but he'd have to make it clear to the headmaster that he only wished to speak with his sensei. That would prove to be a bit difficult, or so he expected but he was out the door and standing in front of the headmaster's within a few minutes.
The hunter took a deep breath, preparing to knock on the door. He wouldn't say exactly what was going on, but he'd give bits of info to Yagari, as he knew he could trust him not to say a word about certain things. After standing before the door for two minutes, he knocked on the door, impatient for an answer as usual.
When the door opened Kaien was the one who answered the door obviously. He smiled the moment he saw Zero. "Ah Kiryuu-kun!!! I'm so happy to see you. We all missed you, me Yuuki and-"
"Ah okay I get it, now where is Yagari-sensei, I can't stay long and I need to speak with him," Zero said calmly but in a slightly annoyed tone.
"Oh well he's here but you haven't visited us in three days. It's so lonely and I have no one around to feed my blood too!" he said starting to shed fake tears.
This only annoyed Zero more and he punched the headmaster, causing him to fall backwards to the wall and slide to the floor with a bump on his head. The hunter walked on in and closed the door behind him then past the headmaster and to the living room where he found his master sitting on the couch. "Hey stupid pupil, what are you doing here? Didn't expect to see you free of that place."
The headmaster had finally gotten up off the floor and followed Zero to the living room. He rubbed his head and he looked at Yagari, catching his last set of words as he entered. "Kaname-kun isn't mean, of course he'd let Kiryuu-kun out, now Zero you wanted to talk to us?" he said assuming he was a part of it and went to sit down beside Yagari happily.
"No, I said I wanted to speak with Yagari-sensei, not the two of you…." he said looking away to the side showing his annoyance once more.
The headmaster suddenly looked hurt and pouted, "ah! no one loves me anymore…he never even calls me father or thanks me, hugs me or anything…and Yuuki does what he does, only in a sweeter way…"
"Relax you idiot! They love you, but it's a personal matter that Kiryuu doesn't feel good talking about with you around. So go on! Out of here," Toga said pushing the blonde man off the couch.
Kaien fell on his face and fake cried again. He stood up and walked away sulking while yelling, "fine! I'll be in the kitchen eating ice cream."
Zero waited a few minutes, making sure what the headmaster said was true, before walking further into the living room and sitting down on the couch near his sensei.
"So what is it?" Yagari asked in a normal tone but was curious on the inside.
"I've been having a problem recently. It seems I've been acting a bit more different around Kuran…" he stopped speaking, waiting for Yagari to say something.
"Well….different as in?"
"Hn….I'm liking the taste of his blood…"
"You're a vampire now. So that's a natural occurrence."
"Not for me, I hated it the first day I drank it, and that other time when Shizuka died, I hated it then too."
"Hmm….I see, so idiot pupil, is there more? I'm sure that's not the only reason you came to see me, so what else?"
"The previous night I went so far as to lick the blood clean from him, something I never did to Yuuki…" Zero looked down, hating to talk about this but he had too.
"I see…well I don't know what to really tell you…perhaps its-" but he was cut off.
"Alright there is more. I dreamed of Kuran, but that's everything, there is nothing else I'm gonna tell you," he said stubbornly. Zero figured he'd just tell Yagari everything just not revealing that the dream was an erotic one or the fact that they kissed tonight.
Yagari thought it over for a second and suddenly had an idea on what it might be. He sighed and looked at Zero seriously. "I would hate to tell you this but it might be due to a blood bond."
"A blood bond?"
"Yes, vampires tend to develop blood bonds with the humans they feed or turn. Like you and Shizuka, although you resented and hated her, you had a bond with her. You knew she was alive and where she was when everyone else wondered about it. Now it seems you've established one with Kaname," Yagari explained it as best as he could, but he left out one small important detail and he let it remain unknown.
"…a…bond….with the pureblood?" he echoed in shock.
"Hai, that's the only reason that might make any sense of whatever has been happening to you," Yagari smirked a bit. He knew what was going on for some time now at least, since the headmaster told him tonight what the professor had told the chairman.
"That's crazy, how can I have a blood bond with a pureblood who isn't the one that bit me?"
"Like I said, he's feeding you blood, so the bond has started to form. It will be-" but he was cut off.
"Started? You mean to say there is more to go? What else could possibly happen? Oh no I don't even want to think about it. This has to stop. I refuse to drink anymore of his blood."
"But you need it. Just because you fear a bond growing between you and Kuran doesn't mean you need to try and remain thirsting for blood, ruining your life all for the mere pride of not wanting to have any kind of bond with the pureblood."
Zero thought that over for a moment. Yagari had a point, but then again, he was Zero's sensei, so of course he had a point. The hunter growled and sighed, "well then I'll stop for a few days so there won't be a-"
"Won't work. The bond has already started forming, it's already in existence. There is no way for you to stop what has started."
"….." this of course left Zero speechless. He didn't know what to do anymore or how to save himself from the sudden sexual desires that would arise while he's around the vampire.
"Relax, the bond can't get too bad. After all, look at how it went with Shizuka. Now you just go back to your dorm and relax. There is nothing to worry about."
"Fine….I…I guess you're right. Okay then, goodnight see you," he said standing up.
"That's right stupid pupil, nothing to fear," Yagari said standing up and walked to the door behind Zero.
The headmaster heard their talking in the hall and peeked out of the kitchen. "Ah Kiryuu-kun leaving already?"
"Yea night!" he said walking to the door and leaving, on his way back to the Moon Dorm.
The headmaster and Yagari stood next to each other, watching him go before closing the door and then getting back to their fun that was now moved to the bedroom.

A/N: Alright! I know its been super long since I last updated. Almost a full month ago and I feel terrible about it. Please forgive me but I had acting class. That's now over though so we can get on with the story. I have a few other ideas for VK stories. I was thinking I'd finish this one first but perhaps you all can help me decide on this too. Should I just start writing the other stories and put them up while updating this one next time? After all, this one is nearing its end soon. Honestly its running longer than I had expected though. So yes please answer the question above. And another thing. Yes! You read correctly, Senri and Takuma are lovers and the same for Yagari and Kaien. Anyways please review, and I hope you enjoyed this chapter. I actually had fun writing this chapter. I know, I know, not enough Zero and Kaname. But I have a plan to give you what you want, either in the next chapter or chapter 14. And in case you missed the question I want help on. And yes lets celebrate! –turns on the music- it's a much longer chapter! Woohoo!!! Now to the question!
Should I upload the new stories to get them started now, while continuing to update this one? Or should I finish this one first then start on one of the others?
Thanks to my Reviewers:
1. pyra heart – aww well thanks so much. I'm so glad you changed your mind on waiting and decided to review. My reviewers inspire me so please continue to review each chapter from here on out if you have something to say about it. It'll make me update faster. ^^
2. Glittering Cyan Wings – lol yea I can see that. This is proving to be a great story. I'm so pleased. But don't worry, there is more to come and much sooner than this chapter did.
3. October Thorne – thanks. So sorry about it being slow. Its still a bit slow even now. But I hope to speed up the chapters now.
4. G-17writa – Ah ha yes, awkward indeed. I do have a great idea on how to get them together. But its taking longer than I had anticipated. I'm actually shocked that I have more chapters. Guess that's what happens when I get new ideas as I go along. Lol
5. evilgoddess1990 – Oh yea, wait until they react to a few other things. After those things, they should give in. I felt the need to write a proper story of them not submitting so easily. To make it out it might be if it was in the anime or manga. Lol. Hope I'm portraying them well enough XD
6. Oceanmegami – oh no problem at all. I'm always up for helping out a fellow fanfiction author. And in anyway that I can. So your quite welcome. Well now it sounds great. I know a lot of people that review have their own VK fanfics also with Kaname and Zero. So I hope to read everyone's in my spare time and give them reviews as they were so nice enough to do for me. And aww, I feel special. You read my fanfic on your cell ^_^ -tears of happiness- lol. Thanks.
7. Kags21 – aww arigato! I really appreciate it. As always of course
8. Hanamaru – well thank you. I'm so glad you like it.
9. EvilAngelofHeavenandHell – well now, of course I have a sense of humor. Isn't there humor in my fic? Thought I honestly didn't think of adding humor, it just comes naturally when I right. But no I'm not offended by anything you say. I suppose I'm an idiot, because if its supposed to be offensive, its not coming off to me that way. So YAY FOR MY IDIOTICY! Yes a new word that is apparently real. Lol. My computer didn't put a squiggly line. Lol. Oh yea I'm happy your loving it. But…DON'T DIE ON ME!!! READ IT OUT FIRST! IF YOU DIE BEFORE I UPDATE I'LL KILL YOU!!! MUAHAHAHAHAHAHA okay I'm back lol. Thanks again for all of your reviews!
10. freeprincess – oh no! oh dear I'm so sorry. I don't want to kill you! But sadly no. No screwing just yet. They will probably officially screw in chapter….17? I'm assuming I get to a chapter 17 though. But I know here's a small spoiler. There will be something fun in chapter 14 if not 13.
11. Eyes17k – Yes well now you have the matchmaker and his ASSISTANT HANABUSA AIDOU!!!! Lol. Thanks for the review, and I'm pleased to know you find it funny.
12. Shades22 – aww you made me feel special too. Not a lot for you to critique? Well that pleases me greatly. Ah yes sorry the update didn't come sooner but here it was and a much longer chapter too. So the best VK one you read on here you say? That's really sweet of you, thanks so much. –huggles- lol.
13. mama-Ichigo – aww really? I was hoping it came off as cute too. Thanks! Wow 13 review for one chapter for once. Guess that is also what happens when you don't update a story in a month. Lol.
