My Life to Your Life

By Liera Antionette

Author's Notes: Lookie here, lookie here! An update! I'm so proud of myself for updating so soon! XD Mwah! Reviewers! You all make me so so so damn happy when you review! Whether it be one line or a whole book, Liera loves them all! Thankies for sticking with me and waiting oh so patiently for the next chapter in this series. I'm not sure if it will last too much longer since I have a few other ideas biting at my thoughts for Rido-sama and Zero-rin as well as one for Shiki-sama and Zero-rin. Dunno what it is about him and Rido-sama…but I do love them both. I don't see too many stories with them as a couple with it be consensual or non-con. Sooo! Perhaps I might make a new series focused on them. Who knows? Let's see how the wind blows, ne? As always, clicky the review button and make a writer happy!

Music to write to:This selection came from a BL game I so adore called Messiah. The music was PERFECT for Zero-rin's mood and behavior. /nods/ I love the angsty piano pieces it has and the violins…/squees/ It really helps me see the setting. Unfortunately I have not seen this particular BL game in English sooo…Good luck trying to find it…I'm telling you it was hell but totally worth it! The soundtracks are from the entire game.

Reviews are at the bottom of the story

Disclaimers: Whoa…Time to renew this again wouldn't you think? I forgot to in chapter twelve. /shrugs/ Ah well! Liera Antionette, owner of Amuriya and a plushie Zero-rin, does not own Vampire Knight. No matter how I beg or even try to bribe…I have no rights to them. I'm just borrowing them for entertainment purposes only!

Story Start

As Amuriya closed the door, Rido couldn't help but pull his rather pretty prize into an intense kiss as if to place a claim on him. Zero allowed him to do as his wished since he now belonged to him. He couldn't fight the tears that flowed down his cheeks, but he did not fight against the man he would soon be calling master. Amuriya shook her head as she began to braid up her free hair. Now that this was done and over with, Rido would have no use for her. She felt bad that Zero would be the one to suffer in her place, but there was nothing she could do about it. Rido may release her from his thrall, but if she even thought to rise against him, he would crush her mind and she would much rather survive after serving him all this time.

When Rido pulled back from Zero's lips, he wasn't surprised to see neither the angry look that clouded his eyes nor the way the tears marred his pale skin. In fact, it made him all the more enticing. He grinned a bit as Zero tried to hold up an angry front, but he could smell how afraid of him he really was. His fear tasted delicious and it made him want to sink his fangs into that pale neck all the more.

"Don't look at me like that, pet. You'll make me think I'm not taking proper care of you."

Zero snarled a bit before he was silenced by another kiss. There was just something intoxicating about this hunter that Rido couldn't help but indulge in. Slowly trailing hot kisses down from his lips to his jaw line, he eventually reached his neck and lavished it with attention. Zero tried to bite his lip to stifle any sound he might make, but when Rido bit down he let out a pained whimper. He clung to him as he sampled his blood like he has wanted to and for once he let down his barriers and cried. He tried to keep himself relaxed, but the fangs in his neck made this all too real. Zero almost didn't notice that Rido was taking his sweet time with him nor that he was being overly careful with him. None of that matter to him as his mind sought out the one person who eased him even though he told himself that he was not going to call him ever again.

Kaname…

-o-o-o-o-o-

The ride back to the safe house was probably the most uncomfortable ride Kaname and Yuuki had ever endured. She would not look at the pureblood nor even answer him when he spoke to her. Kaname feared he may have been a little too harsh on her, but really it was for her own good. She didn't seem to understand her limits as a human and it pained him to know that there was nothing he truly could do about her mortality unless he changed her and that was completely out of the question. Sitting back down after offering her something to eat for the umpteenth time that same hour, he sighed heavily and leaned on his hand while gazing out of the window.

He had to all but force his friends to leave him so he could take Yuuki back to Kaien. He wanted them all to relax and recover from their latest raid on Rido as well as put some distance between them so they wouldn't get caught in the next cross fire. He could remember their faces looking a bit grim when he said he didn't need their assistance anymore…all except Takuma who looked pissed. He was the only one who seemed to understand that Kaname needed this time to pull himself together. They didn't seem to realize how much he had come to care for the hunter who was left behind.

Agreeing to watch and care for the others, Takuma had shooed him off and when he left he could hear him telling them what to do and how he would help. The green eyed noble had expressed his worry for the hunter, but Kaname brushed him to the side, assuring him that Zero would be fine even if he didn't truly believe that himself. Kaname saw that Takuma didn't believe him, but he didn't press the issue even when he saw how deeply it affected the pureblood. He was deeply worried about him and the fact he chose Yuuki over Zero had cut him deeply.

His heart fell as he thought about Zero. How could he leave him behind like that? Kaname knew something was wrong with the hunter and not once did he consider that he would be the one targeted and taken from him. Yuuki was finally safe, but at what price? Zero always put everything on the line for those he cared about and not once did anyone do anything to come to his rescue. Kaname's eyes flashed red as he thought of all the terrible things Rido could possibly doing to his hunter. He tried to repress his growl, but he couldn't help it. Zero was hurting and in the end he had no one else to blame but himself. Zero was in this mess because of him and whatever possessed him to continue his infatuation with Yuuki.

Hanging his head and sighing he knew the very reason why he was so hard pressed in keeping her safe. She wasn't just some human girl he decided to love on a whim. She was all he had left of them. He had to keep her safe more for their sake than his own. He finally covered his eyes with his left hand as he tried not to think about how Zero still called for him even if the hunter hadn't realized it himself. Zero loved him and he loved the hunter very much and yet…he still left him. Yuuki quietly watched the open display of emotion on Kaname's face with a bit of interest since she had never seen him look so distress. Was Zero really the cause of all this or was it because she was being stupid again and thinking she could go and help someone? She sighed as she realized it was probably the latter and it made her heart sink.

How is it that she was the cause of so much trouble for two people she cared about so much? Perhaps she was better off out of their lives and away from them so she couldn't be a hindrance anymore. She sighed heavily and watched as Kaname looked out the window to the rising sun. He winced slightly at the warm light before pulling down the shade to protect his eyes. He was tired from earlier still and the light was doing more harm than good. Curling up in the seat she was in, Yuuki wrapped her arms around her legs and looked up at Kaname.

"Will you be able to get Zero back, Kaname-senpai?"

Looking up with pained, tired eyes, Kaname just shook his head some. "I'm not sure. Rido is stronger than what he used to be and he still has a way to hide himself from my senses…The only person who was able to see through whatever it is he is using is currently in his grasp."

At that Yuuki gave a dejected sigh and leaned her head on her knees. Way to go Yuuki, she mentally scolded herself. Not only did you get kidnapped and distressed Kaname, you got Zero kidnapped as well when it's obvious that Kaname feels something for him. You're such a screw up. Maybe it would be better if I wasn't here anymore…She sighed sadly and bit back her tears. That's all she has ever done…cause trouble for the ones she supposedly loved. Peeking up at Kaname, she found that the pureblood was playing with the hilt of Bloody Rose. She knew it had to burn him terribly being an anti-vampire weapon and all, but still he held it fast. She bit her lip and looked away.

I'm sorry Zero…I'm sorry Kaname-senpai…

-o-o-o-o-o-

Zero watched Rido with a guarded expression as he led the hunter through the astounding maze he called his keep. It was actually pretty large and well taken care of than what he had others believe with the front entrance. He idly wondered why Rido had gone out of his way to capture him now. Originally, he had said he wanted to make Kaname suffer and even had him in his grasp to do such, but he just let him and Yuuki go. What could have possibly changed this mad man's mind? Mentally shaking his head, Zero sighed in frustration trying to will himself to be calm and think about how to escape without alerting him to it.

It just seemed impossible because the more he told himself not to think about it, the more he did. It just didn't make sense. After all that planning he had done to capture Yuuki, he simply gave her back without a fuss since Zero handed himself over. He knew it was part of the terms he gave him, but why did he make them so simple? His head was starting to throb from the confusion of trying to make heads or tails out of this entire situation. He stopped himself from running into Rido when, the man abruptly stopped in front of him. He could see him looking behind him with his icy blue eye before his lips curved into a smirk.

"Why not speak, pet? Am I too frightening for you to even speak words now?" Rido chuckled when he saw Zero jump and look away. It was so odd for him to act so passive, but he was the one who willingly came into his power to protect Kaname and Yuuki. "A maelstrom of conflicting thoughts are plaguing you and I don't have to peek into your mind to tell that. You just want to simply know why, hmm?"

Opening the large doors before them, Rido revealed a lavishly decorated bedroom with the very same cherry oak and cream theme Kaname used in his room. Zero felt sick looking at the place opting to stay in the door way as Rido walked into the room. Zero watched as he picked up a picture frame and Rido sighed longingly. "…That human girl looks exactly like the woman I used to love…But she lacked the qualities that drew me to her."

Rido walked over to Zero and gripped him by the arm to drag him into the room. He hissed at the pain that shot up his arm from the powerful grip, but he did nothing to fight him. Even if every cell within his being screamed to fight him, he did not and allowed Rido to drag him into the room. Managing a glance at the picture before he was roughly thrown to the bed, Zero thought his vision was playing tricks on him. He thought he saw Yuuki in that picture, but it wasn't her. Her hair was the same shade, but it was longer and flowed freely in the breeze at the time the picture was taken. Her eyes were similar, but they held something in their depths that were lacking from the actual Yuuki. Just who was she?

"Everything had come together beautifully. I had my adorable little nephew right where I wanted him and the girl was just in my reach. All I had to do was get rid of the so called 'Knight' and everything I had wanted would have been in my grasp."

Extending his claws he slowly began to rip Zero's shirt to shreds while straddling his waist making lilac eyes widen in fear. He didn't want to be under this man again! His body trembled and even ached at the memory of how he was brutally raped by Rido, but the Pureblood seemed to pay it no attention as he continued his almost mindless rambling. He licked his claws when he shredded the shirt and pushed the strips of cloth to the side as he purred an approval. Fear invaded ever cell within Zero and the hunter swallowed thickly trying not to let it rule him, but it was difficult. He knew the predator above him could taste it and it was probably why his eyes turned to slits as he inhaled sharply.

"Everything was laid out before me perfectly and all I had to do was reach out and take it for myself…But you…" At this he tenderly stroked the side of Zero's face and the hunter turned away from the intimate touch. "You had changed the rules of the game. His focus was drawn away from the woman I was going to take from him. He became more involved with the Knight he had groomed to protect that little woman."

Zero looked back up at Rido as his voice became soft and almost distant. He was getting more confused. What did his almost non existent relationship with Kaname have anything to do with his plans of revenge? For a moment, Rido himself looked confused as to what his true intentions were allowing Zero a very brief, rare glance past his madness before it that tiny touch of innocence was swallowed right back up. He growled a bit as he leaned over Zero, grabbing and pinning his arms above his head so he could stare at him in that vulnerable position.

"Soon, the prize I had sought after all these years of meticulous planning meant nothing to him. It was you, who in the span of moments, changed his heart and it infuriated me. All I could think was why? Why did he choose you over her? Why did you matter more than she did?" At this he smiled. It was probably the most unfriendly smile Zero had ever seen some make as Rido leaned in to bite his neck causing his breath to leave him in a rush. Rido relished the small sound the hunter had unknowingly made as he drank his fill. He did have the most delicious blood he had ever tasted since he had bitten Haruka and that thought gave him pause if only for a moment. Rido pulled away licking his lips still trying to place this darkly light taste the hunter had, only coming up short as he looked at the youthful male trapped beneath him.

"Mmmm…I think I may have figured it out…hm hm…Oh yes…you remind us both of him. The man that Juri and I loved…You have his kindness…You have that heart that won her over." He pulled back after leaving a lingering lick on his neck. "All this time…Little Kaname-chan was looking for someone to love and he chose you over his little obsession…A man who held the qualities he wanted for himself, but was too jaded to reach for."

Grinding up against his captive hunter, Rido let out soft sound feeling the warm body against his before pulling back. He could fully understand why Kaname wanted Zero. He was pleasing to the eye for one and it didn't help that under all that bravado was a fragile person who needed protection. It probably stroked Kaname's ego for someone who was as strong as Zero to need his protection from his big bad uncle. It also didn't help that his blood was the most delicious almost sinful thing he has ever tasted since Haruka. Zero wished he knew what he was talking about. He had no idea who this Haruka or Juri was, but it was painfully obvious that whoever they were, they were the reason Rido was probably insane.

"My cute little pet…You'll never want another soul after I am through with you. Kaname-chan won't even recognize you."

Taking Zero by surprise, Rido claimed his lips in a demanding fashion. He wanted his submission right now and Zero; as much as it shattered what little piece of dignity he had left, gave it to him. This was his choice after all. He loved Kaname more than he thought he could love another soul, but yet…he was giving his body to someone else. He knew that it was to protect him from whatever schemes Rido had, but it was just so heartbreaking for him to willingly endure this. A soft moan escaped his lips as a clawed hand stroked his bare hip since Rido saw fit to destroy his pants as well. He cursed that his body had built up some sort of longing for the man who took away his innocence. It was a known fact that rape victims would either become addicted to the pain their rapist inflicted on them or they would end up shunning touch completely. Unfortunately for Zero, it was the first one. It was why he was so nervous when Kaname had first touched him that night.

He arched into Rido when his hands found his length and began to fondle him into arousal. He made a sound against his lips and for a brief, clear moment, he was curious as to why he was being so gentle with him now. Was it because he had won? He hissed when his fangs found his bottom lip and drew blood. Rido was starting to confuse the hunter the more he touched and caressed him. What the hell was going on!? Why were all the rules constantly changing whenever he was involved with the game?

Rido knew he was playing a dangerous game with the hunter right now…but he couldn't help it. He wanted to devour him in ways he hasn't felt since Haruka and Juri were alive. He tried to push passed those thoughts as he continued to molest and arouse his prize. Rido was glad he changed his mind and came after the hunter. He didn't regret letting the stupid human wench go since he had such a much more responsive toy. His eyes opened slightly when he felt Zero's fangs brushing against his tongue and it made his inner beast purr.

So close…

He could feel the mixed hunger he was creating in his newest pet and he was so close gaining the power he would need to destroy Kaname and his damned woman once and for all. He didn't want those reminders anymore…Kaname and Yuuki looked too much like them…He growled as he forced Zero's legs apart and got comfortable between them. His hazy lilac eyes opened and they were beyond confused and afraid. He had unwanted lust in them and Rido shuddered since he just wanted to eat him up. Zero started moaning a bit more as Rido started to pay him a bit more attention with his hands and lips. Rido chuckled as Zero was giving into him. Just a bit more and he would have him completely under his thrall.

"Did you really think that Kaname-chan would love you as much as he loves that little girl? He's too infatuated with her. He doesn't truly see you."

At that Zero opened his eyes and looked at Rido with shock. That really wasn't true was it? He shut his eyes again and tried to ignore him, but Rido wouldn't let him escape that easily. He nipped at his lips and drew his attention back onto him. "Oh no, no pet…You will not ignore me." He licked his ear enjoying the cool metal contrasting against his lovely flushed skin.

"He wouldn't care for you as much as he does for her…You'll never be that important to him. Even now…you see how easily he let you go…"

Zero shuddered against his lips and inwardly cringed at his words. This was his choice not Kaname's! But, hearing those words hurt him so much. No! This is was probably what he wanted, but it was so hard to ignore what he was saying. He already had doubts about how Kaname could possibly feel about him even if he felt nothing at all. He did not need to hear those words coming from the enemy.

"Don't worry about him anymore. I'll take care of you."

He leaned over to kiss him again and this time it was a bit gentler than his previous ones. Zero almost surrendered himself over to the kiss, but he caught himself. Rido wanted to hurt Kaname and Yuuki and his whole point of surrendering was to protect them. So then why was his mind becoming mush at this kiss? He hurt and raped him! And yet his body wanted him to touch him…it was almost as if he craved his touch. What the hell was going on with him? Was he truly going mad or was he just so divided in his own mind that Rido could over take him with no use of his power?

"I'll take very good care of you…"

Rido slowly pushed his way inside Zero and the poor hunter couldn't help himself as he tighten around him and clung to him. Rido hissed with how tight he was squeezing him and he had to take a moment to adjust so he would not burst on the spot. Zero had started to pant as he shut his eyes. He hadn't expected him to breach him so suddenly, but at the same time it felt so good. Rido watched as the hunter held the sheets so he wouldn't touch him. He grinned as he shifted his hips just enough to push into him again and he relished how Zero grit his teeth in order to stifle his moans. Leaning up to whisper in his ear, Rido slid deeper and Zero couldn't stop the heated moan that tumbled from his lips as he pushed against that trigger hidden within him. It caused his body to burn more than he even knew was possible and it only served to drive him crazy. He wrapped his legs around his waist even as his face burned with shame. He needed this release. It was starting to eat at him.

"Do you feel that my pet? How your body burns for me and only me? I did this to you. Only I have this power over you now."

He thrust into him again and this time Zero cried out just like he wanted him to. He didn't want to enjoy this! He loved Kaname god damn it! But his body was betraying him. Zero's body wanted Rido to take and claim him…it wanted this pureblood to possess him. No matter how hard he tried to will these desires out of his body, he just couldn't. Zero knew this is what he was truly afraid. He never wanted to succumb to Rido like this. Even if his body enjoyed how he got closer to his climax, he was truly crying his heart out. Rido could say all the cruel words he wanted, it would never make how he really felt about Kaname waver. With a rather feral grunt, Rido came deep inside him as Zero choked back a sob from the feeling. He hated it and at the same time he loved it.

Rido watched as the hunter broke down in his arms and for a brief moment, he actually felt guilty for doing this. Something about this hunter made him almost regret the things he had done, but that moment was as fleeting as a butterfly's wings. He just gave a cruel smirk as he leaned up and licked Zero's cheek, tasting his salty tears. Zero flinched and turned away, but he could feel that familiar hunger rising up in his body. He mentally railed against his thoughts trying to quell it because Kaname was not here.

"Aww…Don't be that way pet. My blood is just as rich as Kaname-chan's is. We are of the same family. Do you really want to do descend into madness to spite me?"

Red lined, lilac eyes glared up defiantly at Rido and he smiled a rather crooked smile. "I'd rather bleed to death than take your blood."

"So very venomous, pet…But you'll come to change your mind. I'd rather keep you around longer than a week or two."

Moving from his position over top of Zero, Rido made his way to the bathroom to clean up. Amuriya had left out some things for him to dress in and he paused for a moment wondering if he should let such a valuable servant slip away, but she did pay all the debts her family had owed him and he was a man of his word even if said word was as twisted as his heart. Zero had curled up on the bed with the sheets, not bothering to run since he would be able to track him easily. He was marked and claimed in the most basic way and now he knew without a doubt he would never be able to return to Kaname…Not like this.

Kaname…

-o-o-o-o-o-

Looking up from the steaming mug of hot chocolate Kaien had given him, Kaname felt the side of his neck throb and a pain pierce his heart. He was so used to feeding Zero around this time and knew his hunter must be hungry and suffering. He sighed not being able to do much about it as he waited for the rest of Aidou's research notes to reach him. He needed to be double sure he could be able to face Rido on even grounds and that elixir that could hide him even from a Pureblood's senses was still a problem. After returning Yuuki to the chairman, she had locked herself in her room and Kaien sighed. For all the world, he truly looked like his age.

He knew that Kaien had trusted him to bring back Yuuki and Zero, but when he came back with just Yuuki in tow, his usual exuberance had vanished. He looked a bit heartbroken at losing his adoptive son and that proverbial knife in Kaname's heart twisted even more if it were possible. Kaien was always a happy, if really eccentric man. The fact he made him drinkable coco without putting anything 'special' in the mix made him realize how serious he was. He had removed his glasses from those entrancing amber colored eyes he tried to so hard to hide from the world as he pinched the bridge of his nose as if he was fighting an oncoming headache.

"So Zero stayed behind to ensure your freedom?" With a rather jerky nod as a response, Kaien had snorted and pinned the pureblood with his eyes. Not once had Kaname ever thought he could fear someone like the loveable, strange Kaien until this moment. Kaien looked ready to take his head off. His hair was out of its normally messy, make shift ponytail and had cascaded down his shoulders giving him a look of bewitching elegance. It was always said that hunters possessed a piece of the vampire gene that gave them the power to match them and Kaname never doubted it…But looking like Kaien right now, he felt as if he were a true vampire looking at him with eyes that promised pain and death. He sighed heavily, noticing how Kaname got on the defensive before closing his eyes and leaning into his hand.

"It's not your fault Kaname so please…relax. I'm not upset with you. Far from it actually. Zero has always had this charm that could attract anyone no matter how anti-social the boy was. I'm just…I'm worried about him. Zero is a very skilled hunter and an amazing protector…but when it comes to himself he is so fatalistic about his fate. I try not to worry because I know he will be alright in the end, but….it's just so hard when dealing with someone who is difficult like Zero is. Kaname we have to get him back or I fear he will not come back."

Kaname just shut his eyes. He hadn't let go of Bloody Rose since Zero had left it with him and Yuuki and he truly did intend to return to the hunter. It was just so hard to not feel anything when all his heart wanted to do was break. Zero loved him…Loved him and he still let him go to that bastard and even left with Yuuki! Rationally, he knew that acting out would have ended very badly for all parties involved, but not even making the slightest protest was killing him. Zero knew him too well, he mused silently to himself. The hunter was as sly and cunning as any vampire. He easily manipulated his words to fit his whim and make Kaname leave.

"I will get Zero back if it's the last thing I do Chairman."

"That's what I wanted to hear." Kaien smiled as he looked at Kaname before standing up and stretching. He rolled his shoulders once and let out a breath of air. "Tell me when Hanabusa-san's notes get here. I would like to look at them myself. I need to know what it is that we are going up against."

Giving Kaien a puzzled look, Kaname looked up at the older man who hadn't truly aged a day over twenty as he gave him a cryptic smile. "We? What do you me we?"

"Oh? You didn't think I was going to let you go against Rido alone did you? I want Zero back safely and while I do not doubt your skills…I need to make certain he will be fine."

Even though it never read on his face, Kaname clearly saw the pain in his eyes. Once again…Kaname felt as if he failed so many more than just Yuuki, Zero, and the chairman. Leaving him in the study, Kaien went to his room to get ready. He would have to lave Yuuki in Yagari's care for now. That was going to be a feat in a half since Yagari was the boy's teacher. He was probably going to have to fight him tooth and nail to get him to stay put, but Kaien felt he needed to go and help this time. He sighed once more after taking out his old hunter gear and looking at his sheathed blade before picking it and leaning his head on it some.

"I'm sorry Haruka-san…Juri-san…But I cannot save him…Not after what he has done…"

Steeling his heart for the promise he was about to break and the oncoming battle he was about to wage, Kaien allowed his old persona to come back as he dressed himself. He was not going to idly sit by and twiddle his thumbs this time…

This time he was going to fight.

Liera: This is a twist upon a twist! I really shouldn't surprise myself so much but I do rofl! Rido-sama has ulterior motives and Kaname-sama is becoming oh so tangled up about his feelings! Zero-rin is becoming more muddled and broken because of the terrible mind games Rido-sama is playing with him! Will Zero-rin ever make it out with his sanity intact? OR! Will Rido-sama finally win this game against Kaname-sama with his unexpected change in plans and new trump card? Hell even I don't know yet! LMAO! But I can assure you that Rido-sama is getting a little bit too possessive of his hunter pet and will not let him go without a fight. What will Kaname-sama do I wonder? Ok! One last thing! Story Recommendation! I have been reading a story called Silver Night by A Really Big Idiot as of late. It's an amazing story where Zero-rin is a Doll for a Pureblood King Kaname-sama. What is a Doll you ask? You simply must read to find out! It's very detailed and informative as well as addictive! Phew! Since the story has changed so much, I'll have to redo the summary and add in the proper warnings…I hope no one minds. Gah m y over active imagination twisting this into something even more than I had originally planned!

Reviews, Reviews!

ben4kevin: Yes! Rido is hot and a bastard..It's probably why I adore him so much lol. Thank you for sticking around and waiting til I got the latest chappy up. /cookie for chu/

LuanRina: /giggles and dies laughing/ Oh! Your review! Soooooo much Yuuki hate! It warms my heart xD. The more you hate her the more I know I'm doing a damned good job writing her! xD I figured out why that end gave me such fits though. I had no idea how to make Kaname-sama react properly. It was so friggen hard I tell you! I can tell you he was hurting bad when Zero-rin made that choice though. Even Yuuki was pissed. Some of my original concepts would have had you ranting even worse if I had gone through with them lmao. But! That rant was totally worth it since it meant it got the desired effect I wanted. And yes! I do so love Rido-sama. He is a perfect villain. I have been playing with him a lot lately and I do have another story I want to post, but can't because it's not finished yet. That one will probably be on instead though depending on how well it goes. Also…/hops around like a bunny/ Liera LOVES twincest of all kinds! Moooooore Ichiru-rin and Zero-rin pwease! I sooo cannot get enough of those two! Ichiru-rin is like sooo mean and lovable and mean xD. Gaaah…Got to get back to writing! I have a Christmas one shot x2 coming up I need to write. One for KxZ fans and one for the RxZ fans in all of us lol. I've really come to like them as a coupling for some odd reason. Allow me to extend my thanks for sticking with me until I posted. Until then ttfn!

Guest: Sorry I don't know your username if you have one…it just came up guest. So thank you for reading and sticking with me thus far! I'mglad you enjoyed it.

neko1998: xD Sooo much Yuuki hate! Haruka-sama and Zero-rin hmm? That is an interesting couple…I'll have to put that on a back burner and play around with that idea some time. Thank you for reading and reviewing! Oh! And welcome to MLTYL! Lol I hope you enjoy your stay! xD Sorry…I don't dabble in mpreg. If I can't find a logical way for it to happen, it won't happen.

xX-KiryuSama-Xx: Welcome to MLTYL! And Thanks so much for the review! After some stories…I realize Zero-rin is ALWAYS abused! Perhaps I should stop that…NAH! XD

Naruta13: Eek. Can't have you dying on the fic. Kaname-sama will get mad at me lol. But yesh! Thank you for reading MLTYL and reviewing!

violetkisses: xD like omg…I just put you on my favorite author's list like two days ago when I wrote this! I totally love your stories! Thank you very much for reading my fic and welcome to it! Wish granted on some hot Rido-sama x Zero-rin loving! xD I do love Rido-sama very much and hope this chapter made you happy. Now! Onward to rescue Zero-rin!

rosaikibu: Welcome! To answer your question, no Kaname-sama did not taste Zero-rin's blood when he was poisoned because 1) Kaname-sama hasn't earned permission to bite Zero-rin yet and 2) The venom was easily diluted into his blood. I think I should have elaborated on that more…hell. Thanks for pointing that out to me. Basically, it was more of Rido's blood than venom. He had to get it in him some how so he could bend him to his will more than the usual Noble and level D. Hope that answer it and so very sorry for not elaborating on it. I'm such a forgetful writer sometimes. I have to work on that. Thank you very much for reading my fic!

Rychan6: Oh you best believe he will. Kaname-sama will make Rido-sama pay…although I feel bad cause I really do love Rido-sama. Ahehe. /sweatdrop/

wawatvxq: er…Sorry that the story didn't met your tastes. I'm still very happy you read it though! So thank you very much. And unfortunately a part of your review was cut off so if I didn't answer you to the fullest, I'm sorry. /sweatdrops/

Love332: /sweatdrops/ I dunno…It's just something about breaking those with strong wills that attracts people to do this sort of thing to him. I kindda like it when he needs to be protected from time to time. He is ALWAYS the protector and so I wanted to break him down just a bit. I'm sorry. But! It will get better, I promise! Complicated, but better! xD Thank you for taking the time to read this and reviewing!
