Story Start

It had taken a bit of time to actually calm Zero down, but Kaname managed to do so after about a half an hour or so. Zero now sat in a chair in the library with his hands folded before him and his eyes downcast. Aidou had left them alone since Kaname had ordered him to round up his close knit group of nobles as well as to get far, far away from the hunter. The deceptively sweet taste of his fear still lingered in the air and it slightly disgusted Aidou since it drove his inner beast crazy. He hadn't tasted anything like that before and it bothered the hell out of him. Kaname was standing by a window with his arms crossed waiting for the others to join them as Zero just shut his eyes tightly. He had let that bastard get the best of him yet again and this time all he had to do was just talk to him and he was a nervous, shaking wreck.

So much for being a strong hunter…feh…

Zero just continued to stare at the back of his hands, never noticing when Kaname walked closer to him until he placed a hand on his shoulder. He was worried about how Zero was doing and yes…he was very worried about how Yuuki was faring in the hands of that mad man. He had taken the knight that he had broken away from her and left her defenseless. If only he hadn't gotten so involved with Zero none of this would have happened! Kaname bit his lip at the thought. He couldn't ever blame Zero for this. It wasn't his fault. The blame lay with him. He thought he could handle anything thrown at him, but he hadn't expected Zero to be the one to throw his whole world through a loop.

He knew he shouldn't have involved Zero in this mess in the first place, but if he hadn't stepped in, the madness would have over powered him and someone would have killed him. The small group of nobles had finally entered the library and for once Aidou couldn't look Zero in the eye. His fear tasted wonderful and it unnerved him that his usually well behaved beast reared up so quickly in response to it. Takuma looked at Zero worriedly. The poor hunter was paler than usual and he may not have realized what he was doing, but he was twitching every so often, eyes darting about nervously as if he expected Rido to pop up at any moment.

"As you all have been informed…it seems my uncle has taken Yuuki Cross from her safe house with Kaien. I plan to go there and take her back of course."

"And I will be going with you to assist you, Kaname-sama."

Takuma stepped forward with his blade in hand as Zero looked over at the green eyed noble. He wore an expression that Zero had never seen cross his gentle visage. He was always cheerful and smiling…the look of anger actually scared Zero a bit. He caught Aidou attempting to avoid his gaze, not knowing the other reveled in his fear despite how it made him feel.

"You can count on us three as well. We will not let you go alone, Kaname-sama."

He bowed his head in thanks as the three nobles knelt on one knee to prove that they would serve him no matter what. Zero just looked down at his hands. He distracted Kaname and that's why she was taken. He was supposed to be protecting her, not breaking down like this! He shut his eyes tightly as he looked down at his hands. He would save Yuuki even if it meant going against him….even if it meant losing him.

"I'm coming as well."

That comment made Takuma and Kaname look up with surprise written in their gazes. Kaname did not want Zero near that mad man. He couldn't handle him just yet. He was already fragile from the damage he did previously and trying to face him head on now would be completely disastrous. Even now, he wasn't stable enough to even keep his thoughts together. The relapse he would suffer would have him become doll like and almost a puppet to his uncle's whims and he did not want that to happen.

"Zero...I think it's best that you stay here with someone. I don't...I don't want him to hurt you again."

It was hard for Kaname to admit anything like that out loud especially in front of the others, but he was scared Rido would do something to the hunter and there would be nothing he could do to save him from what damage he would wreck. Zero just stood and looked him in the eye, facing him with a coldness he hasn't seen since he started sharing his blood with him. He could see him visibly trembling, whether from fear or anger or both, Kaname couldn't tell.

"No...Yuuki was taken because I was being careless. I can't just sit here and twiddle my thumbs hoping you both make it out of there safely. I couldn't stand doing that! I'm coming whether you like or not."

There...There was that stubborn young hunter that Kaname knew and loved. He just shook his head and smirked a bit as everyone save for Takuma looked appalled that some lowly hunter would ever exchange words with Kaname in such a way. Kaname just sighed and ran a hand through his hair trying not to pull himself apart in his mind. With Zero coming with him, they would have an advantage being as though he is the only one here who could sense where Rido would be lurking, but the disadvantage was how easily he could shatter Zero's mental state. He really didn't think that his hunter was prepared for this. It was still too soon and those wounds were still fresh.

He sighed once more while hating that he was wasting such precious time in saving Yuuki, but Zero was important to him if just a bit more than Yuuki. He did not want him to suffer if it could be avoided. Glancing back into his eyes, he saw the determination to save Yuuki was stronger than his fear to in seeing Rido thus making Kaname admit defeat. He was as stubborn as a bull when he wanted to be...No wonder Lily was so damn fond of the hunter. It's not like he didn't want all the help he could get in rescuing his Yuuki and could understand that Zero considered her a sister even if she was going to leave him, but he just had too much to risk. Yet, he still was willing to put himself on the line to save her.

"...Fine. If you think you are able to face my uncle, then I'll allow you to go. But if you hesitate once...just think of whose life we'll lose."

Kaname knew it was mean to say it like that even as he brushed passed Zero, but it had to be made clear. He didn't think he would be able to save both of them tonight if Zero fell. Takuma looked over the hunter as he just shut his eyes tightly, his fist shaking by his sides slightly. He knew he wanted to save the girl more than anything...but something else was bothering him. He felt as if something was off about the hunter. Before he had a chance to call him on it, Zero turned and followed him out while Kain and the rest stood up.

"What's the matter Ichijou-san?"

"Mm...Musing...If it's not too much trouble, I'll be depending on you all to support Kaname-sama to the best of your abilities...Something tells me this will not be the last time we see Rido Kuran."

They all bowed their heads and continued out with their pureblood leader. Zero and Kaname walked side by side in silence while the rest were either flanking the sides or behind them. He checked his coat pockets for the extra bullets he kept on his person for Bloody Rose after checking it was completely loaded. Kaname just glanced at him before biting his tongue. Sure he had to admit that Zero looked ready enough to take on whatever was thrown his way, but there was something nagging him that Zero was truly thrown off. He was starting to regret ever agreeing to let him come with them. He should have just put him to sleep and went off on his own, but he knew Zero would never forgive him for that.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready as I'll every be I suppose. Don't worry. I'll be able to keep up."

With a nod, Kaname and the rest took off in a blur. Zero wasn't surprised when he still felt one linger behind with him. When he looked up to the tree, sure enough there was Seiren looking down at him. With a shake of his head, he tried to shake away his unease before taking off after them with Seiren hot on his heels.

I'm sorry Kaname…But you really will be only saving one of us tonight…

-o-o-o-o-o-

Sitting on his throne with the unconscious Yuuki in his lap, he played in her hair with a content sigh. Amuriya was off somewhere preparing for tonight as he master bid her to do. It seemed her master was taken with Yuuki at the moment since she was the first human he has ever gone through such trouble to obtain. She silently left the room to complete his preparations as he lamented over the slumbering, unaware girl.

"...you look like her...you even smell like her under that human fragrance...heh...if only I had truly wanted you...this game would have been over a long time ago..." He tilted Yuuki's head up to place a fleeting kiss on her forehead before laying her on the stone slab before him. "You look exactly like my Juri...But you lack what made her desirable to me while that hunter..." He grinned and licked his lips at the thought of Zero.

He had gone to the campus personally to capture the girl when he caught sight of the hunter, licking his sweet smelling blood that had spilled from his arm, he forgot about her and wanted to play with him. To his surprise, Kaname had showed up and even expressed worry for him which deepened his intrigue. While it was not his original plan, it still went the way he wanted when he took that boy. Rido suppressed a dark shudder at the memories, wanting to have Zero for himself again so badly he could almost taste it. When Yuuki showed no signs of waking any time soon, Rido took care to gag and bind her up so she wouldn't be too much trouble when Amuriya walked back and bowed at the waist.

"The preparations have gone smoothly my lord. No one shall interfere with your guests when they arrive."

"Excellent my dear." He left Yuuki after chaining her to the stone slab so he could walk over and pet Amuriya affectionately on her head. "You have done well my pet. You are almost done with the payment your family owes me...if only they were as obedient as you are I wouldn't have had to slaughter them."

His thumb caressed the side of her cheek and those blue eyes looked up at him lifelessly. She bowed her head and excused herself; doing well to hide the disgust she felt whenever he would touch her so intimately.

"/Just a bit more...just hang on a bit more and at least you'll be free from his thrall Yuuki./"

-o-o-o-o-o-

Pressing his back against a tree, Zero took a moment to try and catch his breath. They had been running for over two hours now and they still were just halfway from Rido's so called castle. Zero knew it was going to be hard as hell to keep up even with the noble classed vampires, but he hadn't imagined it would be that hard considering all the physical training he had gone through as a hunter. Wiping off the sweat that gathered on his forehead, Zero was getting ready to dash off to catch up to the group when a hand grabbed him from behind. He instantly locked up and the person who grabbed him muttered a soft apology.

"Forgive me…I was checking making sure you were alright…I didn't sense you behind us anymore…"

Kaname was obviously worried about him and Zero wanted him to be anything but. They had to save Yuuki. His problems could be forced to the back burners for now even if the other didn't think so. He knew he should have never clung to Kaname so tightly, now Yuuki was in danger because he pulled the focus off of her. But damnit…it was hard for him to even leave him alone now. Kaname drew him in too deeply and the thing that scared him the most was that he didn't want to pull away from him despite everything that has happened.

I'm so stupid…I should have just shot myself that first night…

Clearing his throat, Zero pulled away from him trying so hard to stay strong. "I'm alright…It's just taking a bit out of me to keep up is all. Don't worry about me so much."

At that Kaname made a face as he glanced towards Seiren who just shook her head and began to trail after the hunter who was walking away from him. Something was definitely wrong…A few hours ago he was shaking like a leaf and now he was almost back to his normal self…Almost. Kaname sighed and shook his head having a feeling Zero was going to do something stupid…but he was sure it was something he could get him out of if it came down to it. Shrugging off the small voice saying he could be wrong, Kaname took the lead once again and continued onto Rido's keep.

-o-o-o-o-o-

For a strong hold, it severely lacking in any sort of guard which put the nobles on high alert. They sensed no one save for Rido, another noble classed vampire and Yuuki. Something was terribly amiss here and it showed in how Kaname frowned. He didn't understand just what his uncle was playing at, but it put him on edge.

"I welcome you to my lord's keep. He has been expecting guests."

Amuriya bowed before them with her hands folded in front of her making Zero growl. His eyes narrowed dangerously when he saw her and everything fell into place of just how Rido easily snared Yuuki in the first place.

"It was you all this time…"

With a tilt of her head, Amuriya merely regarded Zero with an unreadable look. "Of course it was. My Master made certain that Kuran-sama never knew I worked for him. He hid my aura and the mark that proves he owns me to keep him from detecting my actual motives." She gestures behind her with a small wave of her right hand. "Please this way, Kiryuu-sama…Kuran-sama. My Master has bid me to keep your friends entertained while you meet."

Aidou snorted and rolled his eyes as Takuma shifted uncomfortably. Something was strange about this girl. Rido didn't just keep nobles out of the kindness of his heart. "You? Alone? That is rather insulting, don't you think?"

"Hanabusa…Don't take her so lightly…She's still hiding her strength."

"What?"

Amuriya gave them a ghost of a cold smirk before walking down the stairs towards Kaname's little entourage. "I assure you Hanabusa-sama…I am more than enough to keep you busy while Kuran-sama handles his negotiations with my Master and lord. Please continue onward. I will not kill anyone of them if that is your concern."

"You think you can kill us alone? You are seriously underestimating us!"

Amuriya simply sighed and flicked her loose hair back before Aidou found himself flying into a wall from a round house kick that landed squarely in his cheek making everyone jump and Zero take aim at her from where he and Kaname had continued walking.

"Hanabusa!"

"…I didn't even see her move…"

Amuriya settled down as Kain went to help his cousin up. "Of course you didn't. Speed is part of my forte and why my lord has kept me here as his faithful pet. I would worry less about the nobles who will be roughed up and worry more about the human who currently lays powerless before a pureblood." Amuriya's gaze sought out Zero's and when their eyes met, his widened in disbelief.

~Quickly to her aid! Rido plans on turning her if you don't go now!~

Gritting his teeth, Zero reluctantly put his gun back in the holster and turned to back towards the doors with Kaname who just looked over his shoulder at the young woman who easily parried Takuma's blade as if it were nothing, but a toothpick. Zero looked over to Kaname to see he was bothered by leaving his friends behind to do battle with someone who out classed them in skill, but Zero shook his head.

"We have to go. Yuuki needs us. You wouldn't have brought them with you if you didn't think they couldn't handle themselves."

Although he nodded his head in agreement, Kaname still took one last look behind him to see everyone giving it their all. Aidou had recovered and was joining in the fray with a look of determination to earn back the little pride she just bruised. He was going to take her out if it was the last thing he did. Pushing the doors open, Zero and Kaname walked into the make shift throne room of the abandoned house.

"Yuuki!"

She laid in front of Rido on a stone slab that looked as if it were used in olden times as a place to sacrifice someone. She was bound with her arms raised above her head and gagged as she looked at them with big brown pleading eyes. Rido sat behind her leaning on his throne with a smug look on his face and Zero could feel the phantom hands caressing him making him shudder involuntarily.

"So you actually came? I'm more than pleased you passed my message along pet."

He grinned at Zero in a way that could only be qualified as lewd making Kaname growl and just itch to blow a new crater in the earth using Rido as target practice. "Let her go. We're both here as you wanted so release her now."

Rido just simply grinned again as he leaned on his hand and looked Zero up and down. "I suppose you have been listening and I did agree to release her…But I never did say on what terms, did I?"

Kaname growled and just glared at Rido who seemed to be enjoying this game a bit too much. "Enough Uncle. Release her to us or I'll simply crush you where you sit."

"Ah ah, dear nephew. You even think of hitting me, it'll be darling little Yuuki here who gets hurt. The same goes for you too, pet. Don't even think of trying to fire that little pea shooter of yours or I'll make damned sure to take the girl out with me."

"Tch!"

Zero released the choke hold he had on Bloody Rose allowing his hands to fall to his sides and only flinching when he heard a small explosion from the other room making Rido chuckle and rise from his spot moving to be at Yuuki's side. The girl closed her eyes tightly when he got close and made a small noise when she felt him stroke her cheek making both young men struggle to stay still and not do something that brought harm to Yuuki.

"Stop playing with us and just tell us what you want. I grow weary of this childish game of cat and mouse now out with it!"

"Temper, temper Kaname-chan…I believe my pet here knows exactly what I want…right?"

Kaname looked at Zero who had made a small noise and was looking away from them both before pulling out Bloody Rose from its holster and throwing it to the ground. He glared up at Rido who neatly cut the bindings on Yuuki as if they were nothing more than just string instead of chains and Zero rushed to the girl's side. She was still gagged and bound at the wrists, but Zero didn't move to free her. Instead, he picked her up when Rido freed her legs and carried her over to Kaname who was just confused as hell.

"What in the hell are you doing Zero?!"

"Just take Yuuki and my gun…Get away from here…Far away from here…" He gave Kaname a helpless look while Yuuki's eyes went wider if possible. She shook her head, but Zero stilled her and kissed the top of her messy brown locks. "…He only wants me. He'll leave you alone if I go to him willingly…So please…just take her and go."

"Are you daft?! There is no telling what he would do you Zero!"

Zero just simply hung his head. He knew what Rido was after since the first time he touched him. He had lost all interest in Yuuki Cross…but now that interest was directed to the hunter turned vampire. Kaname wanted to shout and scream at him, but no words came to lips as he looked at him with shocked brown eyes. Zero just placed Bloody Rose in Yuuki's hands as he stepped away from them.

Rido came up behind him and wrapped an arm around his torso making him flinch and shut his eyes tight. "I must say you really do pick the best toys, Kaname-chan…A hunter who was turned into a vampire…and still has access to all his hunter abilities and our own as well as being able to touch most of all those damned weapons…Such a real find, I must say…"

He licked the bare side of Zero's neck and Kaname saw red. He was only calmed momentarily by the scared whimper that issued from Yuuki. This wasn't right! This wasn't apart of the game at all! Rido was supposed to be after Yuuki and he was supposed to kill him where he stood! Why…Why did his plan change so drastically when Zero came into the picture?

"I have to admit…She does look exactly like Juri…My darling Juri…But the hunter was just too tempting to pass up. You should see the way he squirms when you pin him down and take what you want." Kaname could see the tears welling in Zero's eyes as he tried not cry when he roughly groped him in front of Yuuki and Kaname making them both feel terrible since he was being forced to respond to this bastard.

Please just go…Stop looking at me and run for it…Please…don't look at me…

Kaname just growled hearing Zero's mind plea with them to leave knowing it would be against his better judgment. He held Yuuki protectively in his arms, but he knew on the inside he was defeated. He saved one only to lose another. "Don't look so glum Kaname-chan…I promise I won't peruse you or yours anymore…I'll have my hands full so to speak." He leaned over to lick the bare side of Zero's neck again, this time succeeding in making him gasp in surprise before he turned blood red from that reaction. He hated how he could make his body respond and he hated that it had to be in front of Kaname and Yuuki.

"Zero…"

"Just go! He has what he wants and you have who you want! I'm the perfect piece to give up…Sacrifice the knight to protect the queen…Wasn't that your plan all along?"

That was like a knife to Kaname's heart. It originally was his plan…It was a full proof plan too…But he got too deeply involved with Zero. He didn't want to sacrifice anyone, especially the hunter he had come to care about so deeply. He had seen the fragile heart that he had hidden away from the world in order to protect himself and he wanted very much to guard forever. But now…

"Oh? Did you want to watch?" Rido gave a sadistic grin while mismatched colored eyes flickered as he kissed Zero's temple. He did nothing to throw him off and Kaname wasn't sure he could anymore. "I-…"

"Kuran…Just go. Please." For my sake just go.

Biting his lip and cradling Yuuki in his arms, Kaname finally turned on his heel and began to walk out of the room. Yuuki screamed and protested against the gag, but Kaname paid her no attention. That first step was the hardest step he ever had to take in his entire life. He didn't realize his heart could break so much just by turning and walking away, but he was proven wrong yet again during this entire event. It wrenched his heart to leave him behind. He truly wanted to turn back around and gut Rido for doing this…but he almost could feel the peace that came from Zero as they left.

I'm so sorry Kaname…

-o-o-o-o-o-

Yuuki watched Kaname with wide eyes as he turned and left Zero behind in the hands of that mad man. He really was going to leave the hunter just to save her? Why…She wasn't that important! She squirmed in his grasp and tried to free herself, but she knew it was to no avail. Kaname was stupidly strong and he held her fast. As he walked out he found that his friends were still alive, if just worse for the wear. Even Amuriya looked beat more so because she was actually holding back.

"Kaname-sama!"

Adiou was the first to spot him walking out with Yuuki and the moment he called him by name, the female vampire stopped moving. She looked behind her to see Yuuki glaring at her hotly since the last thing she remembered was Amuriya drugging her. She seemed to have procured a small bag from somewhere and was approaching Kaname and Yuuki. She dodged an icicle from Aidou and was met with Kaname's dark stare. No other noble dared to get close since that dark aura of his was damn near tangible.

"You will need this Yuuki-sama. I packed it for you."

Amuriya gave her the little bag and when Yuuki wrapped her hands around it, her head jerked up in surprise and Amuriya just gave her a small, if sad, smile before walking passed them. Kaname followed her with dark eyes as Yuuki just looked so confused. Everyone had put up a decent fight, but looked rather roughed up and tired. Ruka had a small gash on her head while Aidou just had a bruised cheek. Kain's arm looked dislocated and Takuma hands looked a bit sliced up.

"Are you all alright?"

Takuma nodded his head as his gaze narrowed. They were minus one, but it didn't seem to faze Kaname as he continued to walk towards the exit. Kain was helping Ruka since she seemed to be a little disoriented, feeling a bit more than stupid that all that researching and planning was all for naught. Looking towards the door that Amuriya was closing, Takuma's eyes went big when he caught a glimpse of the hunter who was being pulled into a dominating kiss by Rido. He turned only slightly to see Kaname looking unruffled as always, but there was a slight tick in his aura that told him loud and clear what had happened.

-I've lost this game…-

-o-o-o-o-o-

After getting some distance from Rido's keep, Kaname calmed down long enough to slide Yuuki out of his arms and to remove her gag as well as the rest of her bindings. She rubbed her cheeks and her mouth a bit as Kaname watched her carefully. He wasn't sure what Amuriya had given her, but he didn't trust anything she did anymore and when he got in touch with Kaien, he would make sure he was well aware of her part in this.

"Are you alright now, Yuuki?"

She nodded her head yes as she rubbed at her wrists before picking up Bloody Rose. Zero was left behind because of her. All her life she was being protected by either Kaname or Zero and now…she just lost one of them. She could almost feel the tears welling up, but she forced herself not to shed one. Place his gun into the holster and hooking it up Yuuki met Kaname's gaze.

"I'm going back to get him."

Kaname thought his hearing had went out as he looked at the young woman before him. Had she said what he thought she just said? "Excuse me?"

"You heard me! I'm going back to get him! We can't just leave Zero there after everything he has done for me! We can't leave him there with…that-…that bastard!"

She clutched her bag tightly as she stared at Kaname. She was terrified to be standing up to him, but Yuuki felt this was the right thing to do. Zero had a very hard life before even coming to live with her and Kaien and to push him to the side even if it was to save her didn't sit well with her. Zero always protected Yuuki from everything even from Kaname's true behavior as a pureblood vampire. Now…It was her turn to do the same for the hunter. Reaching into the bag Amuriya gave her, Yuuki pulled out Artemis and extended the silver rod.

"I'm going back and you will either come with me or stay the hell back!"

Grabbing the rod she so boldly pointed at him, Kaname felt his hand sizzle from the anti vampire wards doing their job as he stared at her with an unreadable expression. He could feel his nobles looking at them, but none of them dared to move against her knowing that they would pay for hurting his darling Yuuki. Her gaze never wavered as he stared at her with such a cold expression she felt as if she would freeze if she blinked. Yuuki still held her ground, never lowering her staff and daring Kaname to tell her no. It was then she noticed the stray tear that escaped his left eye making her eyes widen.

"Kaname-senpai?"

"We can't go back…not yet. We've just rescued you and he would be expecting me to rush back and get Zero…But I cannot."

"Why!? Zero is just as important to me as I am to you! We cannot leave him there!"

"And then what? It would take all of us here to go back and get him. Against a pureblood that old and that strong I can't protect you both."

"Then let me fight with you!"

Kaname just shook his head and Yuuki let out a frustrated sound. He knew what would happen if he let her into a battle like that. She would lock up and her eyes would get round with fear and she would become easy prey for him and he couldn't let that happen. He let go of Artemis and Yuuki retracted the silver rod as he touched her face with his slightly injured hand. He leaned in close to her so he could whisper ever so softly in her ear.

"You are not strong enough. You are still that same little girl I found in that snowfield of blood, shivering in fear and wanting to run away. You though that level E was terrifying then…what do you think a pureblood vampire would do to you now? Your fearful mind would become his playground and he will lay everything bare before crushing you like glass. You are weak Yuuki and need to be protected."

Yuuki slowly slid to her knees out of Kaname's touch as she felt the tears cascading down her face. She knew she was weak! She knew it, but hearing Kaname say it was just the same as being slammed into an ice cold ocean with glass trying to break her fall. The pureblood above her hated that he had to break her like that, but Yuuki didn't understand. She would be nothing more but a disposable human to his sadistic uncle. To lose the two most important people in his life in one night was wearing Kaname down. But like hell he was going to let his uncle get away with this. He needed to get Yuuki out of harm's way first and make sure she was safe. Once he was positive he had no way of finding her, he could focus his efforts on crushing Rido for this folly. Flinching when he heard a mental cry of his name, he growled deeply as he looked behind his shoulder.

-I will return for you…I will not let you suffer again…-
