Disclaimer: Vampire knight belongs to Hino Matsuri, but this plot is completely mine! Though I will be using some scenes from the Manga, after I scan through them, but expect some lines they say to be the same or some kind of scene.
Summary: She hated it, she hated the fact that she needs it, that she cannot go on without it. She hates the fact that that she needed the thing that changed her, but most of all, she hates the fact that she cannot hate him.
Warnings: OCC's, AU, HUGE twist with Zero and Ichiru's GENDER! Yuuki is NOT a pureblood vampire, or a vampire at all! AND I really don't like Yuuki that much, so don't expect kindness towards her from my part.
Pairings: Kaname/FemZero, Kaito/FemZero
One-side Yuuki/Kaname
I just wanted to get things straight. It's KanaFemZe and KaiFemZe. BUT, it's not a threesome. Zero is with both, Kaname and Kaito, even if the two don't get along. They will try to understand each other as much as they can, just for Zero.
This Red Thread of Blood
Chapter 13:
Master
After giving the hunter one last kiss, Kaname retired to his dorm once more. Kaito and Zero stayed behind in the stable, she looked at him frowning, "Why… are you willing to let me stay with Kaname?" she asked quietly, moving inside one more.
The male hunter sighed, "Besides wanting to make my Princess happy, and the woman I love feel as complete as she can. I just wanted to have your real smile back," he told her making her blush.
She glared at him, "Well, my day will be bright but my nights will be hell. Not only will I have the Association up my back, but the Senor Council trying to crawl up my ass. Not that I don't appreciate the sacrifice, but things will be hell from now on," she said walking back to Lily.
"It's not that big of a deal, Zero. You can be with him, you can be with me. You can give us heirs so there is nothing those sacks of old bones can do to protest in this matter," he told her following her in a safe distance.
She turned around and scowl, "Yeah, as long as I spread my legs and let you two do as you please, and get pregnant, everything is fine. But Kaito, Kaname is a Pureblood. I'm only a D that will eventually sink to E, and there is a low possibility for an heir to be the needed Pureblood," she said, running her hand through her bangs. "Everything is fine in our part, the Elders will be happy enough, but Kaname's won't. They will leave him alone, but when the time comes, they will ask him to give them a Pureblood heir!" she looked down turning around.
The hunter sighed, this is what she had been worrying about after all. He walked up to her, his arms circling her waist and pulling her back to his chest, "Remember, our ancestor was a Vampire. Even if you are a D, Kuran's blood is the strongest and will domain over yours. Everything will be fine," he told her, kissing her temple gently.
"But what if I can't do it? What if I can only give him an aristocrat?" she asked lowly.
The Takamiya sighed, "Then they will have to suck it up and depend on another blood to lead the vampire world," he said, holding her closer.
Zero gave a weak smile, "You… always get me out of my brooding," she said, holding his arms.
"That's what I will do no matter how much you want to be depressed, love. That is my job, what the man should do for the woman he loves," he murmured, nuzzling her neck.
Zero gasped and shuddered in his arms, she tilted her head sideways to give him more space and kissed her pale neck. Kaito smirked as his lovely fiancée blushed more and leaned onto him more, the soft gasp that escaped her lips as he lightly nibbled her flesh was music to his hears. He moved up to her ear, "Do you know how worried I got when I woke up and found your side empty?" he bit her earlobe.
The girl shivered, "To read that note saying you would be here, knowing that the vampire could come out whenever he please and snatch you away from me?" he asked before licking the helix of her ear. The moan that escaped her sinful lips satisfied him, "To know that you would instantly love him again if he broke through, which he did," he breathe lowly. "Do you know how helpless I felt?" he asked her softly.
He blinked when the girl moved with inhuman speed. One second he was teasing the hunter while telling her the truth, and the next he had her inches away from his face with a snarl. Her left arm around his shoulders and her right hand cupping the back side of his head, "I love you, no matter what portion of my heart Kaname holds, you will have part of it always," she hissed glaring at him, his heart doubling its pace as her eyes darkened with passion.
"No matter what, I would have returned to your side, Takamiya Kaito, because that is where I belong. Even if I belong next to Kaname, I need to be with you, too," she inched closer to him, "I need you as much as I need him," she said, her minty breath ghosting over his dry lips. He licked them, almost touching hers, to get them moisturized once more. Her lovely eyes narrowed, "There was nothing to fear, nothing to worry about," she told him.
And like magic, her lips crashed into his. Her lips almost eating him up, her urge and determination to show him what she meant drove her to such passion. He gasped when she bit his lip, effectively scratching his lips and drawing a bit of blood. Her tongue licked his lower lip once, twice; asking him to play with her. Without another thought, he pulled her completely to his body and shoved his muscle in her warm carven.
Her moan was muffled by his kiss, she pulled him closer to deepen the kiss in a way she has never done before. Never had she kissed him so agonizingly with need; she needed him to know, to make sure she gave him all of her feelings to him and assure him he was important to her. To tell him that she was not planning on letting him go, yet that she didn't just belong to him. She was telling him that she was his, but not completely.
She pulled away breathless, panting and gazing into his heated eyes. Kaito smirked, "My Ze-chan wants to tell me something," he teased; she glared and let him go as she walked to Lily. She looked at him.
"Don't you have class?" she asked slowly, he looked at her. Zero stared, her eyes bored and awaiting.
The hunter sighed, "What time is it?" he asked.
"Donno, almost six?" she asked with a shrug.
He tensed, "Damn it," he said and turned around, "Let's go. I don't want you to be late," he told her.
The vampire sighed; she turned to the white horse and kissed her face, "I'll be back later. Promise to give you a full brush and then we'll run a few laps," she said and ran to him. The two hunters headed back to the Chairman's house to get ready, class was sure to be a hell of a surprise and a drag. The Kiryu knew what the girls in the school would do, and knowing that Kaito was hot, she cursed.
…
Zero walked to her class slowly; she was glad that it was the first Kaito would be introduce to and she would get to be there to keep an eye on him. She knew that her 'lady walk' had gotten more graceful, with all the teaching and scolding from Yagari. Who would have thought that the man would teach her something other than hunting, and for it to be how to walk? Even now, the mere thought of him doing the catwalk had her snickering. This was sweet blackmailing material; her lovely teacher would pay for having to wear those stupid heels every day of the month. She could only take them off on a mission, or training, yet it hurt like hell afterwards. Kaito had to give her massages every night.
That; those wonderful hands, were her heaven after the long and tiresome days. She shook her head; she would have to ask him to give her one of those massages tonight. She smirked to herself; or maybe, just maybe, she could have Kaname do it. An evil glint flashed through her lilac orbs. A thought she wanted to complete this exact moment. His hands had always felt wonderful on her back, so wouldn't if feel great when he's actually doing something pleasant?
The Kiryu then noticed all the stares given her way -mostly by guys- making her feel uncomfortable. She glared; her infernal glare was back on business. She almost grinned when they looked away, she may look different, (sweet, innocent, and fragile) but she was still the same Zero everyone loved and feared. She walked to class silently after that, her mind going back to late dawn that day. She knew that she had just confessed her feelings to the vampire, that she had let her mask shatter in front of him, and that she had let her heart vulnerable to him.
The moment he said he loved her; she had been stung by a million waltz of electricity charge. Her heart had been forever lost in his hands; she just hopes he takes good care of his half. She knew Kaito already was, but Kaname was different. He manipulated others, he was cruel to be kind, and he cherished everything. But could he take care of her heart? Her deeply scarred heart? She wished he could, and she believed he would, there was just that little feeling in the pit of her stomach that told her otherwise.
Or could it be his heart? Could this uneasy feeling be that she could not love it like she hoped. Would she hurt him? No. She would not let anything happen to it. She knew, or had a feeling, that he's suffered as much as her. She wouldn't let anything happen him, she won't even let herself hurt him. She would try to shield as much as she could from him, she would protect him, even if it means her happiness was destroyed. She wanted to see those wine color eyes shine like never before, she wanted him to be able to smile freely, to take some of the vampire weight from his shoulders. She wanted to love him with everything she's got.
Soon she was in the school, heading to class. A few minutes before the bell rung, she walked in with a calm face. All her classmates stopped talking, and turned to her. Jaws dropped, eyed widen, and increasing heartbeats echoed in her ears. She almost smirked, but walked back to her old desk and sat down. Just as she settled in, whispered broke free and some moved to her, "Kiryu! Is that you?"
"You look so different!"
"Just how much did your hair grow?"
"You're even more beautiful than before."
"Why did you leave?"
"Why are you back?"
And more questions were thrown at her. The girl sighed and thanked the gods for the school bell. She frowned when the students had yet to take their seats, the door opened once more and the teacher walked in, "Everyone, sit down! I want you all to meet someone new," the teacher said slamming his books down on the desk in front. The girls yelped and the guys backed away whining, the man in front blinked, "Well Kiryu-san, nice of you to show up in time for your first day," he said and glared.
Zero shrugged and looked at the door, everyone followed suit and students blinked confused. Girl squeal and had hearts as eyes, "Ah, yes. Class, this is Takamiya Kaito, the student teacher for Ethics," he said and girls sighed dreamily while guys grumble their disappointment. Zero shook her head lightly, and leaned her chin on her hand. Her teacher turned to him, "Is there anything you would like to ask Takamiya-sensei?" he asked looking at the man for approval. When Kaito nodded, he turned back to class.
The Kiryu sighed, she already knew what they would ask as girls held their hands up, "Takamiya-sensei, do you have a girlfriend?" a girl asked. The teacher glared, while the hunter chuckled as his eyes moved to Zero's.
The girl rolled her eyes with a light blush, "I do," he smiled to the class.
The girls whined and the boys sighed relieved, "Will there be time for an affair?" a girl smirked; Zero's eyes darkened and move to the back of her head.
The girl tensed, "Ha-ha, I'm sorry but there will none. She is more than what I could ask for," he said.
The girls sighed, the silverette only looked down to hide her flush. Kaito smirked, she glared and looked away. Students had realized this, and were looking between the two wide eyed, "You do know that relations with students are extremely forbidden," the teacher said.
Kaito looked at him blankly, "I know. Zero is only my fiancée's distant cousin. The Headmaster knows this, since he is my godfather," he stared calmly. Gasps were heard and everyone turned to a glaring girl.
"Kaito. Shut. Up," she growled.
The student teacher only smiled, "W-well, you can't have any favoritism with Kiryu... I'll have to talk with Cross-sama if there is any inconvenience," the man said.
Kaito sighed, "Kaien-san gave me this class because of the circumstances we're in. He knows our families traditions and we are only following them. I have to get to know Zero until the wedding. She is the precious gem for my girlfriend," he said seriously. Zero blinked shocked, just when had he come up with all that crap? Yet, it gave him a reason to lie about them, and stay unnoticed. The teacher sighed, he looked at a now passive Zero and frown.
After the commotion, class was about to start when the door open and Yuuki bowed in apology. She looked up at the quiet room and looked around, her eyes landed on the disappointing teacher first. Her brown eyes then met cold chocolate orbs and hers widen. If Kaito was there, that only meant that Zero was too. She looked around and her eyes landed on a bored Zero, the silverette was looking ahead and slowly turned to her. The hunter crook a brow, the brunette blushed and hurried to her seat.
"Uh... Cross-san is always a bit late..." but the passive façade the man had worried him.
Kaito nodded, "Yes, Zero has told me all about her last weekend we met," he said. The girl blushed embarrassed and turned to her almost sister, the Princess was looking ahead with a hard gaze. Kaito sighed and nodded, everyone blinked at the silent conversation before class resumed.
…
Kaname sat down in deep thought. He didn't want to share Zero with the hunter, but he understood her duty as Princess and hunter. He had similar duties, but he didn't like the fact that his little vampire was so close to the hunter. He knew he was possessive, but the happy smile she had, made him into another vampire. She soften his heart to a level he never thought possible, she gave him something he wanted to have forever. And if that meant for him to share her with Kaito, than there was no other way.
He had tried to sleep, but her lips still burn on top of his. Her mid-long silver hair, amethyst orbs shining like the purest gem. Her perfect body against his, her warm body, her melting scent, her blood daring him to lose control. She was his heaven and hell. She was his world, and now it was too late to have her all for himself. He regretted not noticing the bond that had been screaming at him for four years. He had been so blinded by Yuuki's sweet scent, it had fogged his senses and he hated it.
Now he understood why he had been so distress with her the weeks Zero was gone. Yuuki blocked him from his most sensitive senses; when his mate left, the bond had stretchered. He hadn't known what was happening, he only knew something was wrong, and Yuuki had been there. He tried to put distance between them, but it only made him feel uneasy. For four years he had Zero by his side, for years he had been ignorant of the precious bond he wanted. He was blind by Yuuki, yet he can't understand why.
Now the Kuran didn't care, all he wanted was to gain something from the lost time he had wasted on the girl he had saved. He just hoped that it's not so difficult to do. He knew just how stubborn the silverette could be, but he also knew that once you were in her heart, it was easy. He would have to play his cards right and get her to open up. He wanted Zero to see him, he wanted her to be his only. There was only one problem: his fan club. Ruka and Aido in particular; both loved the Pureblood like no tomorrow.
He smiled, the girl would be his -mind you Kaito- and no one will be able to say anything. He would have her, and he would tolerate the hunter for her. Zero would be his mate no matter what anyone says. He was the vampire Prince, and he was the Ancestor of the Kuran. His blood was the thickest of all, his power was still awakening, but he was more powerful than any other Pureblood. Now he was glad, he was glad that Rido woke him and gave him a chance to meet her. But, he still wants him sleeping.
He got up from his red couch, and went back to his bed. Kaname would have a lot to talk with Kaien and later Yagari. Coming to an agreement with Kaito might be difficult, but there would be one. For Zero, he would do it.
…
School ended and Yuuki ran to Zero, she glared, "What is wrong with you!" she asked lowly.
The silverette sighed, "I came back yesterday. You were patrolling, I was tired. I went to sleep knowing you'd be here today," she said calmly. The brunette raised her hand, ready to hit her back, but a bigger one stopped her.
The strong hand of the raven, "Raising a hand to Zero-sama, do you wish me to break your hand?" he asked darkly.
Yuuki paled at the cold eyes of the teen, "Asahi, let her go. She didn't mean any harm," Zero said, walking around her and placed a hand on his shoulder. The hunter let go of the hand and bowed his head respectfully. She smiled, "Where is Chiaki?" she asked softly.
"She went to look for Kaito-sama," he replied.
She nodded, "Sorry, Yuuki. I have things to do," she told the Prefect. "Come on, Asahi, Yagari-sensei will be here any second with my 'homework' for my stay here," she said walking away. The man sent a warning look the brunette before following after his Princess. Yuuki swallowed hard, what was that? Zero being called sama? Why was she treated so respectfully? Why did that guy acted like the night class with Kaname? She took a deep breath and looked at her determined, she would find out the truth!
The Kiryu glanced at the hunter next to her, "Try to not scare anyone, and next time Yuuki tries and hit me, a warning is enough," she said walking to the chairman's office.
Sasaki nodded, "Understood, Zero-sama," he said as they walked elegantly through the hall. Students stop and stare, she looked like a model that was lost in the school, and her manager had finally found her. Boys glance at her, some even tried to take a step to her but her deadly glare stopped them, -along Asahi's.
Soon, she was in front of the office of the cheerful ex-hunter, "Stay here. I don't want anyone to disturb; if Kaito comes along, get him in and stand guard," she ordered softly. The hunter nodded and stood in front of the door after it closed.
The light brunet looked up, "Zero-chan," he greeted.
She glare, "Don't call me that," she growled darkly.
He smiled, "I see Kaname-kun broke the seal," he said happily.
The Kiryu sighed, "Yes he did. The bastard did it even when I told him not to," she blushed lightly.
The grin he gave her made her uneasy, "But why did you forget him in the first place?" he asked.
Zero ran her hand though her bangs, "Like you don't already know," she said calmly.
"So you do like him," he said mostly to himself.
"Love him. And I love Kaito too… I just don't understand. I feel different with them, yet the same. I think I can go without one if I'm with the other, but that's just a pretty lie I want to believe," she sighed frustrated.
Kaien smiled, "That's because you've choose them both as your mates," he said seriously. "Vampires do that. We just look for the person we love; if it works, great, if it doesn't, too bad. We move on, but vampires are different. They chose one mate for life, if they die, they will try to find another. But in some cases, there are two mates for that one vampire, even if the previous one hasn't died, there is another present… yet, they chose one to be with. But you are different, you chose both on equal grounds, you will choose not one, but both," he explained.
"Kaito-kun was your first chosen mate, Kaname-kun was your second one. You can't live without one of them, you need both to live," he told her.
Zero's face had grown from horrified, to thoughtful, "You're telling me that I can live, but only if I have them both?" she asked seriously.
Cross looked at her, "That's putting it in simple words. But yes, that is what I am saying," he told her.
Zero nodded and closed her eyes, "Master will be pissed. Not to mention the Hunters and Vampires… stupid fan club will be overwhelm when they find out," she said and turned around.
The Kiryu started to pace in circles; okay, so she had two mates. Big deal… but damn. It was a big deal; she had chosen a Pureblood for her mate, and a thick blooded hunter. She knew that Kaito was the closest at the moment to call Prince, Kaname was already one and she was a Princess. Why had she chosen two? Enemies to add up. She was a hunter, but she was a vampire as well. She was needed by the Association, yet she needed the vampire. The Pureblood would need her, yet she needed the hunter.
Great dilemma to get herself into, really it was. In one hand, she had the day. In the other, she had the night. Both the same, yet so very different. Two sides of a coin, both having life and evolutions. She was that enzyme to set the process in motion and direct in the shortest time possible. Kaname and Kaito; the halves to complete her heart. She had stopped and looked at the window, the day was so peaceful.
A knock came and she turned her eyes to it once Cross said to come in, both her master and Kaito walked in. The number one hunter looked at her, "Zero," he greeted.
"Yagari-sensei," she nodded back. The man took out a yellow envelop from his coat, and handed it to her. Zero grabbed it and sighed, they were probably old records and history about the events that have occurred over time in the Association.
She could feel his blue eye watching her intensely, "If you're wondering if I remember Kaname, than yes, I do," she said opening the envelope and taking out the paper. "Now, don't go and blame Kaito for this, or Ito and Sasaki. It wasn't their fault. Turns out, Kaname can be pretty persistence when he wants what he loves," she said and felt his aura tense, "I know what you're thinking, 'I should have never let you return here', or something along those lines. But, if that were the case, I would have parish after a while," she said, scanning through the papers.
"What do you mean?" he asked lowly. Zero's eyes look up, she looked at him, then at Cross, and lastly at Kaito before turning back to the man.
She smiled calmly, "He's my mate," she stated and turned to the shocked face of the young hunter. "And so is Kaito," she stated, turning back to the stunned raven.
He narrowed his eye, "Two mates?" he asked.
"Yes," she said, nodding. Yagari walked up to her, she looked at him passively hiding her fear and disappointment.
"Why him?" he asked, she sighed.
"If I knew, I would have tried to hate that fact about him," she told him. "It wasn't my option. I didn't just tell my heart, 'Hey, look, there's a Pureblood. Let's fall for him!' I have no control over this, Master. It's either love him, or love him. So what option do I have but to love him?" she asked now putting the papers away, "Now, if you'll excuse me, I would like to spend some time with him before class starts," she said and turned to the chairman, she bowed and passed the raven.
Zero stopped in front of Kaito and smiled, she cupped his face and kissed his cheek before she left the room. Ito quickly followed her, she went to her room and set the things down before exiting her room and walking to the Moon dorms. She turned to the brunette, "Don't follow me. I'll be fine," she said and disappeared. She easily sneaked in and made her way to what she believed was Kaname's room. When she felt the aura of her Pureblood, she smiled and easily made her way to the window.
The silverette found the window open, she snorted at the thought of who would be stupid enough to enter the Kuran's room this way. She opened the window slowly and went inside before he could do anything. Kaname was on his stomach sleeping, a gentle smile tug the corner of her lips and she step forth. Removing her boots before getting any closer, she took off her jacket and the ribbon from her neck. The girl slowly stepped closer, hoping he wouldn't wake up, or at least know it was her.
The Pureblood stir a bit, but when she was ready to sit, he was still deep asleep. Zero sat down before laying down next to him; she prop on her right elbow by his head, her body almost giving off the image of protection. Just for this second, she wanted to shield him from the silence of his room. Her left hand started to comb her fingers through his hair, petting him and providing any comfort he may need. She smiled when he seemed to purr in his sleep, sinking deeper into his dreams than before.
Time passed, she didn't know when, but she had fallen asleep. Her eyes opened to find Kaname hugging her waist, his head resting against her chest and her arms hugging his shoulders and head. She smiled, the warmth was so comfortable, but she knew it was getting late. She raised her left wrist and looked at her watch, her eyes widened, 5:18. She sat up quickly, Kaname snapped his eyes open and looked at the girl's back, "Hurry up! It's five-twenty already," she told him searching for his uniform.
Kaname blinked, he had just been snapped out of the best sleep he has had in his life, and all for school? "Zero, get back here," he said softly, her alert lavender orbs looked at him.
"No. Get up and get dressed," she ordered. The night class was already up, she could feel them, hear them. Moving around, getting ready for class, "Kaname," she growled when he lay back down. The Pureblood only hummed, "Get up. The others are waiting for you, if you don't go, the night class will do as they please," she warned as she found his uniform.
Checking it if was clean, she turned back to the vampire. She set his clothes on the couch and walked back to bed. She climbed it and turned the vampire around as she pulled his left shoulder to the right, Kaname let her and helped her. He blinked when lips crashed with his; softly and gently. Her kiss was sweet and not really something he wanted to pass on, she started to pull away, but he followed her lips until he was sitting up.
He pulled her to his chest and now she was the one lying down -mostly on him- in bed. She moaned when he licked her bottom lip, almost begging to let him in. She parted her lips without hesitation, he met the warm carven of his Zero and tasted ever inch he could. The Pureblood finally let her lips go, her flushed face and dazed eyes met his dark ones. She blinked and pushed him away, "Now get dress, you're up. I don't want any excuses," she whispered, getting up and put her boot on. She tied them, then her ribbon and put on her jacket.
She turned to what seem to be a sulking Kaname, she smiled and walked over to him. He glared as she cupped his cheek, "Don't sulk, you have class," she said, and pecked him on the lips, "You're going to be late," she told him and walked over to the window.
"Zero…" he called.
The girl stopped, "Yeah?" she asked turning back to him.
"…nothing," he said and got up. The girl sighed and walked back to him, she hugged him and just embraced him in her warmth.
"Idiot. It's not that I don't want to be with you, it's that you have to be with them," she said pulling away and smirked. "Someone has to babysit," she told him playfully. "And you're the perfect vampire for that," she smirked. The brunet glared at her, she only brought him down in a kiss and he melted. Oh why did she have to have such control over him? He held her close to him, trying to feel as much as he could and just savor her. She pulled away slowly, "Kaname, as much as I like being in your arms, you have to go and so do I," she told him blankly.
The Pureblood looked at her eyes and sighed, he could see the truth in both things she had told him. He lean in and gave her a slow and sensual kiss that made her almost moan his name. Damn her, and her control. "Kaname," she gasped-whined, "dress. Now," she told him and escaped his arms. "I'll be waiting downstairs," she said and opened the window before jumping. Kaname sighed as he watched her go; he turned around and quickly got dressed. Taking his books, he left his room and headed downstairs.
As per usual, everyone waited for him in the lobby. Ruka and Aido were the first one to turn and greet him -Seiren was already facing his way- and bowed. He came down with a lighter aura than ever, he was genuinely calm as he opened the doors with his powers and stepped forward. All vampires followed after him, he could hear the girls screaming and yelling for them when suddenly, everything was quiet. Aido blinked, "What happened to their adoration?" he asked confused. Kaname only hinted a smile; someone else had taken the spotlight for tonight.
Zero made her way to the gates, Yuuki was the only one there and everyone was pushing her. She sighed and looked at the three hunters standing a few yards away. She nodded and walked up to the squealing girls, "Hello everyone. I hope you're little scandal was fun, because it ends now," she said smiling. All the girls glared while the hunters shudder, their Princess was scary most of the time, but when she was all sweet and calm, hell was coming their way.
Zero smiled innocently, in a second, her aura shifted from kind to a dark blanket that promised nothing good for those that oppose her. She took a step in front, "Move, now," she said lowly. The two senor hunters took that as their cue to part ways for the incoming class. Asahi and Chiaki walked to her side, both glaring at the girls, "Lines, one by each side, do it," the silverette order as the two walked between the girls and pushed them back. Yuuki just watched dumbly, frozen by the way she commanded the crowd to do as she pleased with the help of the two.
Girls started to whine and that's when Kaito stepped in. He smiled as he walked behind Zero, "Ladies, please do as Zero says," he asked softly. Girls melted and did as told, an elbow hit his gut and he could only cough as his fiancée walked to Yuuki. The brunet held his stomach and moved aside when the doors cracked a bit, Yuuki blinked as her fellow Prefect pushed her to the line.
"Don't just stand there like an idiot. This is your job as well," she said and moved to her side as she walked to her side.
The doors open and Aido smiled before glaring at the girl, she lifted a brow and he looked away. Kaname sighed, he stopped by Zero and leaned in, "We're not done," he told her by her ear, she smirked. He pulled away a bit to look at her eyes.
"Of course not, I never got the chance to ask what I had come to ask," she told him.
"That was?" he questioned with a tiny smile.
"Go to class, I'll tell you later," she said turning him around and pushed him forward to the stunned class, both Day and Night.
He looked at her as she let her hands drop; he sighed and grabbed her hand. Zero's eyes widened as he pulled her by his side and started to walk to school. The two hunters were about to step in, but the hard gaze Kaito sent them told them to stay put. Girls were stunned in silence and the night class could do nothing but watched as their leader place a hand on her back with the other still holding her hand. Yuuki was pale, hurt flash in her eyes as the Pureblood lean in by Zero's ear once more.
The hunter hid her shiver well, "Why not now?" he asked her slowly, he felt her relax and turn with a smirk.
"You'll see... now are you going to let me go, or do you seriously want me killed?" she said lightly. Kaname frowned, "Fan club" she clarified. He stopped and looked over his shoulder and saw both Aido and Ruka glare daggers at his mate.
"Get going," he said with a bit of command. The night class snapped out of their shock and started to walk to school, Kaname's eyes met the hurt brown eyes of Yuuki's, but he felt nothing.
He turned back to a frowning silverette who was looking at his close circle, the two most loyal glaring at her. He narrowed his eyes as he pulled her close, wrapping an arm around her waist and the other one tightened his hold on her hand. The two nobles looked away in shame, and girls erupted in whines. Zero sighed as his warmth protected her from the crazy girls and jealous vampires. Her eyes moved around the wild crowd before her eyes landed on Yuuki's. She had thought that she would have felt guilty, awkward, and a sense of betrayal towards her.
Zero really had thought that, but now, as she looked at her, there was only peace and pride. She had always felt defeated by her, she now knew it was because she had her mate's attention, but now she felt confidence and love. She had won. She had won her mate over, and Zero felt great. Kaito walked over to them, he nodded to Kaname, "I'll take over your watch, Zero. Kuran, try to get to class, I don't want the others distress over this little display," he told them, his Princess smiled at him while the Pureblood sighed.
Kaito looked at the dejected girl, he walked up to her with a passive face, "This was bound to happen. You lost your chance, one you will never have again," he told her loud enough for her to hear. Her eyes widened, she looked at the retreating... couple? ...and back at him. The girls had left now and only Yuuki and the hunters were left, "I don't know you enough to say anything, but I know Zero's hurt to do so. Stay away from him, try and keep those longing eyes of yours at bay, and forget him," he told her.
Yuuki glared, "I love him. He saved me and I know you love Zero, so why are you standing there watching?" she asked with an angry blush. Ito and Sasaki step forth, but he stopped them with his hand.
"Because she will be happy. Though I still get to have her, she's already made her choice; and I, along with Kuran, have come in terms that if one of us can't have her, we rather share than lose her," he told her and lifted his hand to brush her bangs away from her wide eyes, "Hurt her, and there will be nothing more for you but wish for death," he said and turned around.
The Prefect paled, "A-are you-u threatening m-me?" she asked.
"No." He stopped, "Only making a promise," he told her. Asahi bowed, "Oh…" he looked over his shoulder with cold eyes, "I forgot to say it, but I don't think I'll have to repeat this a third time. Lift a hand to Zero once more, and say good bye to that hand of yours," he smiled and walked away with the other two. The adopted girl gasped, she almost fell down, but her hands resting on her knees gave her the needed balance.
She took deep breathes, and walked to the in-campus house the headmaster lives in. Minutes later, she was standing in front of the door. Kaien felt Yuuki's aura, and told her to come in. The man had been musing about Zero's love triangle. He was sad that his little girl would be left out, but he was sure that she would find someone else. Yuuki was a good girl, sure she didn't really have a past before Kaname found her, but she had a future. Yet, that unknown future was nothing compare to Zero's. A Hunter in love with a noble of her class, yet a Pureblood vampire was unheard of.
He knew that she would have to be strong, but if things moved along well, Zero would have two mates. And now here she was, her eyes downcast and sad, "Yuuki..." he said, she looked up.
"Did you know... about Zero and Kaname-sama?" she asked.
Cross sighed, "I found out today. Remember she is a vampire now, she found her mate in him, as well as Kaito-kun," he told her, her eyes widened and bit her lip as she looked away. She nodded, "I was going to call you soon, the night class is having a new student. She will be here in a minute, and I want you to escort her to class, okay?" he asked calmly.
The brunette sighed, "Sure, what's her name?" she asked with her hand hugging her side.
"Maria, Kurenai Maria," he told her and she nodded. He got up and walked to her, his arms wrapped around her, "That is all. And don't worry, you'll find someone," he assured her.
A sigh escaped the Prefect, "Zero has been really lucky in her life," she said, Kaien pulled away with a disapproving frown.
"Don't say thing you don't know. She has suffered too much, it's time she had finally had something good for her," he said and went back to his seat.
Yuuki blinked, "Ah! No, I didn't mean- I just- I'm sorry," she murmured looking down blushing.
He sighed, "Start to think before you talk. This kind of slips would not be forgiven by Kiato-kun, Ito-san, Sasaki-kun, or Kaname-kun," he told her and a knock was heard. "Come in," he called.
"Good night. I'm Kurenai Maria," a beautiful girl with mid-long hair silver-blue hair said.
Kaien nodded, "A pleasure to have you here, Kurenai-san. This is my daughter, Cross Yuuki, and she will show you around campus before she takes you to class," he smiled.
The vampire smiled shyly, "Pleasure to meet you, Cross-san," she nodded her head.
Yuuki blushed, "No, no. The pleasure is all mine," she forced a smile. The two bid the chairman good night and left. The vampire was smiling as the girl got her settle with the campus grounds. It was a few hours before she was escorted to class, "If there is anything you need, you can ask me," Yuuki said.
Maria smiled and hugged her, "You're so kind! Thank you so much," she said and turned to the door. "Good night, Prefect-san," she said and entered.
Everyone was looking at a vampire in specific; she smiled and sat on the teacher's desk. Wine eyes met hers, 'Kuran Kaname... my lovely Zero's other mate.'
