I Do Not Own Vampire Knight

A/N At Bottom

Let's GO!

Chapter Seven: Will

Aidou padded on silent feet as he cautiously approached the couch where his soon to be mate was sleeping, careful not to wake him. Ichiru was curled into a corner of the couch, one arm wrapped around his folded body, as if he were trying to keep himself warm, one hand pressed against the small wound he'd opened earlier. And indeed the cold draft emanating off the thick glass that coated the doors did chill the room. The sight sent a bittersweet pang spearing through his heart. That his mate would rather lay huddled here rather than cuddled with him set him on a defensive edge. The instinct to protect and care for his mate howling in his blood, though he knew that Ichiru was nothing like the angel he portrayed in his sleep. In slumber he resembled nothing of the silver haired shrewish demon that he was.

Aidou stood beside the sofa for long moments, drinking in the pale countenance that glowed in the ice fractured moonlight as it poured through the ice crusted windows and doors of the room, his blue eyes gleaming. His perfect face was unmarred by the daily stress of life that he'd so often worn of late. The strife that he would have loved to wipe away. If it hadn't been caused by his presence. But there was no way that he would give the silverette the relief he so strenuously craved. The only peace he would offer the new vampire was in their mating. As it was, knowing he was the center of the fledgling's calamity, he didn't feel any guilt.

He should be the center of Ichiru's world. He needed to be.

From the moment that he'd detected the soft, tempting fragrance of his blood he'd been hooked. The thought of being mated to human born as a hunter hadn't deterred his desire in the least. And yet he was still surprised by the acute desire to monopolize the diminutive silverette. That didn't stop him from publicly claiming Ichiru as his own. Just the thought of any one touching the silver brought out feelings that he would have sworn he would never feel. But just the sight of Ichiru spread sweet sensation through his body, the scent of his blood too tempting and he was just about at his limit.

He'd waited for too many years and now his instincts were taking over by trapping and cornering his destined one. It had to be done or Ichiru would never acknowledge the growing bond between them. He frowned down at his sleeping heart and couldn't deny the sliver of hungry resentment that speared his heart and hid behind his playful facade. It was slowly eating away at him with each year, day, hour, minute, second that he couldn't lay his hands on the silverette.

But that time was over. Watching Ichiru flirt and socialize tonight had been the last straw. The fight with the unknown assailant had only listed further grievances. No longer would he allow his mate to circumvent what they both needed to survive.

And why shouldn't he? Ichiru was his.

He sighed softly as he finally allowed himself to pull the hunter into his arms gently. The warm weight in his arm and the way that Ichiru relaxed in them only slightly mollified the possessive beast seething inside him. The only thing that would completely calm the raging instinct inside him was making the silverette his totally and he'd taken the first step towards that tonight. He moved swiftly to their room and lay the center of his world in his bed. Something deep within him eased at the sight of Ichiru nestled among his coverlets, the monster inside accepting this consolation prize. But he knew it was only temporary and that before long he would be pushed into taking that final step that would tie them together for the rest of their lives. The thought of that day stirred his blood as he joined his mate, pulling him close and basking in his presence. He could only hope by that time Ichiru would have finally accepted his fate and given in.

Zero's eyelids twitched as the sweet sustenance that was his husband slid down his throat. He swallowed, how could he not, half sleep and confronted with the nectar that filled him with sensuous electricity. It filled him with a soft warmth that permeated his bones, made him weak yet strong at the same time. Unconsciously he snuggled closer, digging his fangs a little deeper, causing Kaname to grunt above him. They were pressed chest to chest so that he could feel the the accelerated speed of his mate's heart. Comforted by the sound he let himself sink into the sensation, the synapses of his body firing to life. Even then he was content to lay on his man as he allowed himself to sink into the bond that connected them. Awareness of his own body arose and he luxuriated in it, the golden string that connected them. It pulsed between them, alive with heated fire, familiar and yet subtly different.

Frowning a little, he let himself sink further.

And was wrapped in a tangle of silver threads that pulsed with vibrant life.

What the hell….?

Even as he asked the question of himself, the answer for the anomaly glowed within him in the form of newly created life.

Shit! He jerked out of the haze at the same time he jerked his head away from Kaname's succulent temptation.

The night returned to him in a snapshot of images that revealed his pleasure flushed face. But if also revealed the presence of the twins inside of him.

Even as he moved, so did Kaname. His mate's strong hand wrapped around his nape, keeping him in place. Unbidden, the blood continued to flow down his throat.

"I'll let you go in a moment. Drink. We both know you need it." The gravely voice made him stiffen. Anger blazed through the bond, and if the statement hadn't been true, he would have told his mate to go for a long walk off a short pier. But he did need it. So he endured the intimacy of the feeding, choosing to sink back into himself. The silver links were still there and concentrating on them he could feel the amazing, pressing feel of burgeoning, growing life. The energy of it made them glow in his inner sight.

No wonder he was so damned tired.

The process of creating and sustaining life was draining. An awesome task that his body, in its current state was obviously unable to handle. He'd been drinking of Kaname every night but it wasn't supplying all the nutrients he needed to support his children.

His children…..

Those words, strung together in that way were enough to send him into clinical shock.

He was fucking pregnant.

The thought of it burned his throat and for a second it felt as if he body would reject the sustenance that was being so freely offered. He gulped frantically and pushed against Kaname's hand.

Let go or I'm going to throw up all over you!

He was released, but not as quickly or as fully as he'd hoped. He sucked in desperate, greedy breath as Kaname's fingers threaded through his hair, his other hand curling over his

hip, effectively keeping him in place. He tried to escape his mate's grasp and found that it was of no use. Kaname's gentle urging lifted his face, black eyes perusing his pale cheeks.

"I'll cook breakfast, that should make you feel better."

Kaname's cool, unaffected voice made Zero tremble in rage. His eyes flashed up to meet Kaname's, filled with extreme animosity. He couldn't even speak.

Do you think I'll accept anything else from your hand? He snarled, his face hot with anger. He pushed against Kaname's chest with both hands in a bid for freedom and huffed in irritation when Kaname didn't give an inch.

Fucking let go all ready! He pulled harder, dislodging Kaname's restraining hands, happy with having his freedom after long last. Kaname's hands had been on him all night, tormenting him, drawing his helpless response until he'd been turned upside down and inside out. He didn't need them on him now.

In a very deliberate move, as he vacated his position in a show of uncharacteristic clumsiness, Kaname shrugged his shoulders, relaxing fully against the white pillows behind him. What is done is done. It can not be undone now.

It was too much. The heat of his rage went to his head like a shot of undiluted liquor and for a second the room tilted. He cursed, the expletive lurid in the quiet room. Red fire flickered in the depths of his violet eyes. "Are you so sure about that?"

It came to him in a flash of insight. If they'd created this problem then the pureblood nation must have some way to counteract it. All he had to do was research and find a pureblood physician. The idea sent a shiver of hope through him and abruptly his night's mission changed. He slithered off the bed, faster than Kaname's hand could reach him, adrenaline pumping through his veins with the thought. He headed for his closet, ignoring the lingering ache of Kaname's excess possession.

"You wish to rid yourself of our children?"

Explicit pain. Severe torment. Intense distress.

The emotions in his words caused Zero's gaze to swing back to him. His own were tangled with the same threads. That Kaname had the audacity to exhibit like emotions, that he didn't acknowledge the fallacy of his actions, made Zero burn with fury. "And if I do?" His hissed. "I didn't ask for this. That was a decision you made on your own. You chose to violate my rights in this marriage. At this point I can do what the hell I want to do."

"Really?" Kaname sat up fully in the bed and abruptly the atmosphere of the room was heavy, as if the Pureblood King's emotions were taking on a life of their own. Zero didn't turn his eyes away as Kaname left the bed, totally unconscious of his own naked state. He refused to turn away as his cheeks blushed in embarrassment at the sight. Even in the dark of the room, the evidence of Zero's passion painted his dark skin in filmy strips of proof that his mate couldn't be easily denied.

Zero watched him, wariness clouding his violet eyes, the memory of Kaname's psychic hold fresh in his mind. "Really."

He refused to falter or to turn away. He'd done that in avoiding what his mate had so obviously wanted and now his reality was pregnancy, his life changed irrevocably. Not that it hadn't been changed irrevocably five years ago when Kaname had claimed him, he thought bitterly. So he fixed his gaze and met Kaname head on as he approached in that slow rolling glide that always seemed to make him hot, forcibly keeping himself from studying the extensive lines of his gorgeous body. Down that path lay a madness that he was intimate with and didn't want to tread again.

He steeled himself as a lone finger stroked across his cheek, outlining the color of his chagrin.

"Would you really get rid of our children?"

His breath caught in throat at the soft tone. It was like still water, the emotions running deep in it. Incensed and flustered he smacked Kaname's hand away. "Hell yes! I don't want to be pregnant! That was an idea you came up with! Hell yes I would get rid of them! I'm not meant to birth children, I'm not a woman damn it!"

The words fell into the sudden empty silence between them. Kaname's eyes widened in stricken horror, searching his own deeply. Zero didn't know what his mate saw in his eyes. What ever it was caused the Pureblood King to pull his hand back and advert his eyes. As he watched, Kaname visibly tamped down the roiling emotions that rocketed around the room, turning his back on him.

"Very well then, do as you wish. I will support any decision you decide to make."

Kaname stalked to his own closet, yanking down his robe. "I have meetings all night tonight. I'll have Cheri make you breakfast if you like. I'll use the blue suite to get dressed."

Zero could only gape in silence as his mate exited the room.

What in the fuck just happened?
