New chapter! Yeah, so, please enjoy guys! Isn't this all amazing? I'm actually updating! And, early-ish! But don't always expect me to be this cool guys!
And thanks for all the awesome love and support!
Zero sighed as he relaxed in the warm water. He had prepared himself a warm bath. His tense muscles and aching back screamed for attention. He was glad Ichiru had convinced him into getting the town house. It had a larger bathroom than most apartments. The tub could easily fit four people. It was more like a Jacuzzi than a bath tub, but who was complaining.
Zero stretched as he tried to get the tension out of his body. After everything that had been going on, he was happy. For once in a very long time, he felt happy as he saw almost all his patients in such great conditions. He hadn't lost a single life in a while.
After a few more minutes of soaking in the warm water, Zero stood up and drained the tub. He went over to the other side of the bathroom where the shower head was. He smiled as the warm water massaged his body.
Kaname had gone to the hotel after the encounter with his little silver haired angel. He was in need of a shower and clean clothes. Not to mention sleep. He had waited for the doctor to finish his rounds every night in order to get at least a little bit of time with him. Kaname had never felt so attached to someone before.
He wondered how far he would go for the doctor. The one thing Kaname would forever refuse to do is keep away from the older man. He wasn't sure of he could now be separated from him. Zero was like Kaname's drug. After having a taste of those thin pink lips, he had become addicted. And holding that body in his arms felt so right to him.
As Kaname stepped out of the shower, he wrapped a robe around himself and walked over to the bed. His lap top sat there alone. He hadn't checked anything in a few days and that was never good. He opened it and waited a few seconds for it to fully turn on. After a few seconds, multiple windows opened.
Kaname looked at the first one and clicked it. It was from Aido. He quickly skimmed through it only to find out it was a report on how the product and estimates turned out. Kaname looked through the graphs and outlines for the company and sent a few replies and requests.
After a few more e-mails answered and looked at, Kaname looked at one e-mail in particular. It was sent to his private e-mail. Barely a hand full of people knew it. It was from Sieren.
Kaname moved the mouse over to it and opened it.
"Sir, you have less than two weeks to return, and I must advice you to stay longer. There is a major problem that has come to my attention that I must tell you."
Kaname's eyebrows knitted in the middle as he looked at what his most trusted employee had written. He continued to read.
"It appears your uncle, Rido has acted on his own, as your guardian and is making plans to wed you as soon as you return. For whom the bride shall be, I am unsure. Many say it will be Lady Ruka, Others say it is to be Miss Sarah. In all honesty, I approve of neither for someone such as yourself. As for young Yuuki, I believe that Rido wishes to take her as his daughter and give her hand to a family of much power. I'm terribly sorry for letting you know so late. I only came across these news a few hours ago myself. If there is anything you must know, I am available at all hours."
And with that, the e-mail ended. Kaname slammed the lap top closed and passed a hand through his hair.
"Fuck!" The young brunette slammed his fists against the bed. Of all the things his uncle had done, this was the worst.
"How dare he go behind my back and…and…damn it! No…this can't happen. He can't choose whom I end up with, nor can he choose for Yuuki. Especially not her."
Kaname reached over to where his bag laid on the floor. He quickly flipped the contents inside out and grabbed his cell phone. He needed to know everything Seiren knew. She was his eyes and ears over in Italy after all. Out of everyone, she was his most loyal worker. After all, unlike many, she respected him for his abilities, not his status. She was given the place to be Kaname's underling by his own parents when they were mere children. She fully accepted her duty as Kaname's personal right hand.
Quickly, the brunette dialed the first number in his contact list. The phone only rang twice before the call was answered.
"What is it you wish to know."
"Everything."
"Yes sir. As you read in my e-mail, Sir Rido has set up a wedding ceremony to happen the second day of your arrival. He has made paperwork for miss Yuuki to become his legal daughter. All he requires is your signature and everything will be complete. I do not know of your to be spouse, but I do know she is an heir to a very powerful corporation."
Kaname heard some shuffling as he listened on to what Seiren had to say.
"I've managed to retrieve your birth certificate and a few other items that Sir Rido needs in order to finalize the wedding. Without them, he can't fully make you wed. But…."
Kaname bit his bottom lip as he listened closer.
"I'm afraid that even with him not having these, it'll just slightly prolong the wedding date. He can get new documents. He, as your legal guardian by signature of your parents, is allowed to wed you off as he see fits for you are yet to turn 18. When you have a guardian and are under that age, your life is practically ruled by the person that takes care of you. I'm very sorry about all this sir. I've tried everything I could to hold everything off, but alas, I am but a mere employee."
Kaname sighed. He shook his head and shut his eyes. "Seiren, you've done great. Thank you. I can't even think of what would have happened if you hadn't informed me of this. I'll try to stay over here a while longer…and…"
"Yes?"
"I think…I've found my happiness Seiren. I actually….have a reason to be happy now. I'll send you an e-mail. For the meantime, inform everyone that Yuuki is recovering beautifully. I'll try to stay here an extra week. Tell my uncle and the company that I have found someone that wishes to do business with me, but we need to have a proper meeting, alright?"
"Yes sir. I shall inform you if anything else is to happen."
"Thank you."
And with that, the call ended. Kaname hung up and laid back on the bed. Too many things were going on inside his head.
Yuuki woke from her sleep. She turned her head to look out the window. The stars were high up in the sky. Shining brighter than she had ever seen them before. Their glow and light reminded Yuuki of her doctor's beautiful eyes. They were like diamonds.
As she continued to look out, her eyes widened. A shooting star, far off in the distance flew by. Quickly, Yuuki closed her eyes tightly and wished with all her heart.
Zero rubbed his forehead as he wrapped a towel around himself. He went over to his medicine cabinet and took out his prescript pills. With shaky hands, he took two from one bottle, and one from another. He had forgotten to take them for lunch. He hoped it didn't affect the cycle.
As he went into the kitchen, Zero downed the pills with a full glass of water and relaxed. He went back into the bathroom and began to comb through his hair. After a few passes, he looked at the comb and swallowed. Multiple silver strands on hair held on to the comb. Zero hadn't even felt when they were pulled out.
The young doctor began to hyperventilate as he carefully pulled the hair off. Zero suddenly felt his vision go blurry. He tried to take in deep breaths to calm down, but it only made things worse. His eyes suddenly widened as he felt what he hadn't in so long.
Covering his mouth, Zero coughed. After the first one, he couldn't control it. He felt as if his chest was on fire as he coughed into his hand. Seconds later, when he managed to take in a single breath of air and looked at his hand.
Zero's face fell when he saw the crimson red looking back at him. He felt another attack coming.
Struggling to make his way to the living room, Zero fell on the floor. He crawled his way to the phone and pulled it off the stand. He coughed wildly as he pressed the first number. It only took one ring for the person on the other line to answer.
"C-Cr…ugh….osss….happe-ing…ugh…hah…."
"Hang in there Zero!"
"I wish with all my might, that one day, brother, Zero and I can live as one big happy family. Please mister star, it would make me very happy."
Aw….so sad….ok…I had not planned this out, but it's going somewhere. I hope you guys liked this! Also hope you guys aren't mad at me for this. I mean, Zero IS sick, so this was kind of unavoidable.
Ok, well, have a good day guys!
