Chapter 14

Hoorah! The next chapter! Woot! I wonder what will happen. –Sly grin-

And again, I wonder how many times I will say this, but I will try to post a chapter once every few weeks-well I hope as much-. I've sorted my shit out, and have had time to widen my writing skills range, so it as you can probably tell is much better and the chapters have started to get longer. I hope this can continue, but I do not know. After summer school, I will have to return my computer, and I won't have a lot of time to go to the library every day to write.

But because I love you guys so much, I will try my damndest to make it all work out. And in the end, it had better work in my favor. =w=

Zero: You! How could you do that to me!

Kaname: I don't know, I kind of enjoyed it.

SOPAP: OMG! So you finally have turned to the world of Yaoi?

Kaname: I didn't say that, I just said I enjoyed having Kiryuu submit. –Hides behind a lie-

Zero: Oi!

SOPAP: Uh, huh. Right. Keep telling yourself that.

Kaname: I will thank you.

Zero:...*simmers in welling anger*

After what happened between them that night, Zero refused to meet eyes with the pureblood, and Kaname found great amusement in that. He would try anything to get the hunter to raise his eyes, even if it was in defiance. He didn't succeed; though he did achieve a sporting bruise on his cheek from Zero hitting him out of sheer embarrassment.

The first to touch him. The first to kiss him. I wonder what other firsts I will achieve. Kaname wondered, as he idly twirled a pen in his hand. "Kaname-sama," came Takuma's voice. "Hm?" Kaname murmured out, looking at his long time friend. "This is the third time you have zoned out on me. Shall we continue this later then?" he asked, looking at the pureblood. "Yes" came Kaname's reply, and Takuma bowed before he gathered his stuff and left. Once Takuma had gone, he griped the pen in a tight fist. The shell cracked under the pressure before it fell away, leaving only the ink to drip onto his hand and his desk.

"Something is happening to Zero and I have no idea what it is" he said as he got up to move around. "And it has something to do with that blasted courting stone" he growled under his breath as he looked out of the large bedroom windows. He had been doing that a lot lately. Looking out the windows when he was angry or frusterated.

There is also the fact to be taken into account that his blood smelled like mine. Kiryuu always wanted to be stronger, but for the stone to be turning him into one of us? Impossible. Kaname didn't believe one minute of what his brain was telling him.

"Then there is his…pursuer" Kaname mumbled. He didn't like saying stalker. It was slightly degrading for him to say it, and he knew Zero didn't take kindly to having some one tell him he's being stalked. "I do not like being left in the daylight(1)" he said darkly, and a lamp nearby shattered.

"I must find out more. Something is going to happen soon, I can feel it".

Meanwhile:

Zero felt as if he were deteriorating. His head hurt, and he had lost his appetite three days ago. Plus, his body felt, well weird. It was all tingly, almost as if someone had placed a small electrocuter inside of him and turned it on low, only just to annoy the shit out of him. He was currently walking beside Kaname as they made their way to class; though he would still not meet the pureblood's eyes. He still wouldn't.

Zero faltered in his steps. Kaname stopped and looked at him. "Kiryuu-kun?" he asked softly, red eyes searching his. Zero tried to reply, but his words got caught in his throat and his eyes rolled back into his head. But instead of hitting the ground, he fell into soft but strong arms. Kaname swung him up, just as the Day class started to scream. He looked to the Night class. "Calm them" he said as he marched to the headmaster's office, his stride never faltering.

When he swung the doors open, Cross was already there with blankets. As Kaname expected. "What happened?" the headmaster asked softly, as he smoothed out Zero's hair once he had been placed on Kaien's couch. "He fainted in the middle of change over. Vampires cannot get sick, so I have already ruled out that" Kaname replied. Kaien looked at Zero for a moment.

"I think he's dying".

Kaname laughed. Really laughed. "He may be just a 'D, but he would not die so easily" Kaname said looking at the silverette, and then at the headmaster. "If you aren't going to tell me what is really going on then get out. I have no time to sit and wait while my son dies" he said, his eyes narrowing. Kaname had never seen Kaien Cross angry; to be honest it wasn't very frightening, but he complied with the headmaster's wishes.

He turned around before he had completely walked out. "I cannot tell you, because I do not know myself" he said, before he walked out.

Weeks passed and Zero did not get better. It was then that the doctors deemed Zero in a coma like state. The Day class mourned for the silverette, even though they didn't like him, they hadn't wished this on him.

Kaname spent every waking hour searching for more information on the stone and what could have made Zero end up like that, and he didn't know why he cared so much. Yuuki saw him waste away just like Zero, and she didn't know what to do. "Kaname…" Yuuki said softly as she walked up to the man she dearly adored.

He looked at her. "I'm sorry but I can't help him for you. There is nothing" he said, his bright wine orbs now a dull listless colour. "Kaname, I need you to hear something" she said quietly, a soft whisper that caressed him.

She brought out the CD that Zero had given to her on Christmas and put it in the stereo Kaname had in his room for using when he felt on edge. With a few clicks of the buttons, soft music floated through, with Zero's voice.

I feel screaming, pleading
I see the ending
Don't you worry
You won't be alone
I will be in Eden with you

When it all comes crashing down
And it's winter all year round
And the sky is firing
And the world is
Just a shelter underground
When there's nothing left to lose
And the lost cannot be found
I'll find you

I will bathe you
Lay you in warm sheets
Sing you to sleep
And as the earth quakes
And poison rivers run
I will kiss all you tears away

I'll find you

When it all comes crashing down
And it's winter all year round
And the sky is firing
And the world is
Just a shelter underground
When there's nothing left to lose
And the lost cannot be found

I'll find you

Yuuki came over and hugged the frozen brunette. "Zero tries so hard to make every one else's lives so much better. He tries to be the hero. This once, just this once, let him be the damsel" she said, and Kaname couldn't keep his tears back. He clutched at the small girl, and let his heart go.

The feeling he had felt, turned out to be not for Yuuki at all. "I'm sorry, dear one. I shame you" he said, as his shoulders shook. "No, you haven't. There is no shame in loving another" she said, petting his hair.

"There is no shame".

Zero looked around from where he sat, underneath a blossom tree. He had tried to move, but he was so tired. Zero slid his eyes shut. Maybe a bit of rest wouldn't hurt. Just a bit.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you".

Zero snapped his eyes open and he looked around. A figure walked up to him. "Why wouldn't I?" Zero asked. "Because then I'll take you away from your precious Kaname" it said. Zero snorted. "He is not precious to me" the silverette said. "Believe me". "Oh?" the stranger asked, raising a fine brow

"Then he won't mind when I make you mine".

Zero's eyes widened. "What?" he blurted out. "The stone was mine and I gave it to you. The minute you picked it up, I lay claim to you" he continued. "No one lays claim to me. I'm no ones property" Zero spat. "Who are you anyway?" Zero asked, looking at the man, who closely resembled Kaname.

"Me? I am Rido Kuran, and you'd better wake up before I take you away".

Kaname stood up, whipping away his tears in disgust. A pureblood never cries. Yuuki just gave him a smile. "Go wake up our Zero, Kaname" she said, and Kaname didn't falter as he set a fast stride to the hunters room.

Kaname sat by Zero's bedside. The hunter was so pale, and his face had sunk in. He truly looked like the dead. Kaname reached forward to stroke Zero's silky locks, but faltered when he reached his head. He slowly let his hand down, and he rubbed Zero's silver hair. Leaning down to Zero's ear he whispered, "Wake up Zero…"

"For me….."

Tbc...

Yay! Another chapter in the same day! Woot!

(1) Okay about Kaname's comment about 'being kept in the daylight' thing. you know the "I don't like being kept in the dark?" well I figured because they were vampires it would change to daylight. xD Yeah, funny way of comparison but what the hell! lol
