A/N At Bottom

Let's Go!

Chapter Eight: Rifts and Promises

"Shit!"

Kaname's curse was louder than the door slamming against the wall of the blue suite. He immediately spun to return to his own room and visibly checked his movements. He wanted to rage back into that room and drag a fighting and cursing Zero to their bed and chain him there. For the remainder of his pregnancy. A vision of tear drenched violet eyes and a pale body stretched spread-eagle before his eyes assaulted his self control and his hands shook with the urge to go back and show Zero who was really in control of their relationship. But he couldn't do that. His little mate was too fragile at the moment, his emotions too volatile. He couldn't risk breaking him. He was walking on delicate pieces of glass where Zero was concerned, balancing to keep from being shredded. And movement out of place would end with he and Zero being hurt.

Like getting rid of their children.

He couldn't deny that the mere thought had taken him aback and shaken the entire foundation of his beliefs. He believed that once Zero got over his initial shock that he would welcome his children with open arms. But to actually entertain the thought of doing away with them completely…He breathed harshly through his nose, his dark eyes turning to bore hardly as if they could see through brick and mortar, pinpointing his mate's location exactly. Zero hadn't moved from his spot and Kaname could feel the hurt shaking the bond between them. For a moment it was hard to breathe. Every sinew, every bone, every cell clamored to walk back and hem his mate. So that he wouldn't escape ever again. He could keep him fucked and sated throughout his pregnancy. Keep him drenched in pleasure and blood so that the thought of getting rid of their kids wouldn't cross his mind. A flash of imagination, Zero pregnant, swollen with his children, looking up at him as his eyes glowed violet seduction. It made him hard again. He should be in there fucking his mate not sitting in a different room staring at the door.

And letting him get rid of their children. Like he was going to let that happen. The beast inside him growled and it echoed from his chest. He would just lock Zero away for an eternity and make sure that he never-

He stopped, the ball of his foot pressed against the carpet right outside of the door. For several harrowing minutes he fought to contain the animal part of him that pushed him to go and take what he wanted. What he needed. But if Zero's reaction was anything to go by that would be the wrong action to take right now.

"Fuck!"

So what was he to do? Now that he couldn't storm in there and take his mate by force?

What the hell have you done to me?

It was a rhetorical question, one the archaic beast inside him had been asking for the last five years. When it came to Zero, he was willing to do anything to see that his mate was happy, even if his mate didn't understand what exactly made him happy. It went directly against his 'survival of the fittest' mentality that he'd carried over from his past life. The 'survival of the fittest' meaning you survived no matter what obstacle stood in your way. Zero's adamant protestations against having his children had been just another obstacle for him to remove, but in doing so he'd damaged the only person who moved him to the point of rethinking everything he'd lived by all these years thus causing a tug of war in his soul. Zero was his, to do with as he willed, nothing would change that. Yet…..to see those piercing violet eyes dulled with pain and betrayal hurt the deepest recesses of his heart. So what the hell was he supposed to do now?

Get off your ass and take care of your responsibilities! Find the one who almost took Zero from you last night!

Ah yes…

He would throw himself into work and find out who had the audacity to try and separate them.

His shoulders straightened and his previous lackluster eyes began to glow again with renewed resolve.

Yes, that would be a worthwhile pursuit. Until he could figure out how to make Zero forgive him.

And keep his children.

TD

Get rid of his children.

Zero shivered with the thought, his eyes intent on his reflecting image in the mirror. He stood naked before it one pale hand flat against his abdomen One million thoughts raced through his head as the phrase wreaked havoc with his emotions. Now that he knew they were there the twin presences inside him would not be ignored. Oh he couldn't see it, his belly was flat as it ever had been but the potential for growth was there. Felt keenly like the sharp end of a blade sliding over his jugular. He felt shaky, as if his feet would fail him at any moment. So he declined to move from that spot, not even noticing when the tears began to seep down his face.

The warmth finally woke him. For the first time in a long time he'd slept cozily, with no dreams of ice crusted pools of sunlight. Instead the sunlight seemed to sleep within him and he was ablaze with heat. He blinked and stared at the bleary ceiling above him. Trying to figure out why he was so hot. And why his ceiling didn't look like his ceiling. He tried to stretch and frowned. His left half rose from the bed and that was far as he got. He glanced down startled. Let out a sharp yelp, then promptly covered his mouth with his left hand.

Why was he here?

Why was he in the bed with him?

In the dark of the room, the blonde hair glowed like a beacon for ships. Or wandering hearts.

His own began to beat out a hurried, panicked rhythm as he realized this his shoulder had become the cradle for Hana's head and that his mouth nestled against the stinging throb on his throat. His whole being concentrated on the feeling and for the moment it completely eclipsed the weight of Hana weighing him down on one side. The sheer danger of his position made him slightly woozy. He could feel the satin brush of Hana's lips with every breath that he took, his long lashes fluttering a pattern of allurement across his skin. Even as Ichiru tried to come up with a surefire way to escape the golden tormentor without waking him, the noble breathed deeply and stroked his tongue over the small cut he'd opened.

"Mmnnnn!" Ichiru jolted in surprise as the moan burst from his lips. He couldn't help it. The sharp, sensations radiating from the touch sent a rain of electricity through him. Embarrassment flushed him crimson as his body rose to the provocation. And that reminded him that Hana was draped on him like a living blanket. And that the only thing separating he and Hana from direct contact was the fabric of Hana's pajama pants.

"Arrgh!" He quite simply didn't care if he woke the damn perverted noble, the only thing he was thinking was getting out from underneath the heavy, brightly lit come on that was Hana. He jerked at his right arm and fell back with a gasp as Hana rose over him quicker than a flitting hummingbird.

"What is it?" He demanded his swiveling to take in the room, his hair splashing over over Ichiru's bare shoulders. The silky slide was the last accidental tantalization that the silverette could take. With an exclamation of pure frustration he tried yet again to jerk away from temptation only to come to the understanding that he was caught in the cage of Hana's body, his hand planted solidly at his left hip, one long leg tangled over his. The deep blue eyes swung back to him studying his scorching face. "Are you hurt?"

For the first time Ichiru could see why Hana was a part of Kaname's private guard. The man looked like he could flow in any direction at any given moment and strike with deadly efficiency. It amazed and alarmed him at the same time. He shook his head quickly and molded his slender hands over the valley of Hana's chest to push him away. "No I'm not hurt! I'm naked!"

Hana relaxed abruptly, bowling him under, taking him back to the mattress. Driving him to further temptation. "Is that all? I thought someone was trying to kill us again."

"Hngh! You fucking jerk, that is not all!" Ichiru huffed as he pushed at the noble's shoulder. "Why am I naked in your bed!?"

"And in my arms? Isn't that obvious?" Hana answered calmly. "I did tell you to get used to this. Besides you were bleeding and I needed to dress the wound. That was all." His voice deepened, became assuring. He rolled and Ichiru's caging was complete. Ichiru's breath stuttered in his chest as he was pressed full length against his source of heat. He ceased breathing at all as the strong, chiseled line of Hana's muscles seemed to conform to his, giving away the morning state of his body. And he really was overheated despite the fact that the cover was barely covering them anymore."Why are you so bothered? It's not as if I raped you in your sleep. I will let you know when I come for your virtue."

"Y-y-you saw me naked."

"Every little delectable inch," Hana muttered with thinly veiled satisfaction and tipped his face up to his. Lapis lazuli glimmered down at him and a sly smile touched his full, golden mouth. He tried to jerk his face away from that knowing look but found that he was firmly captured. "It was amazing. You're very beautiful."

"Stop it you damn barbarian. And let me go. I'm not going to spend the night laying around with you!" He was desperate to get away from the flaming temptation before his body betrayed him again.

"And what else do you have to do? I thought that you had tonight off?"

"I want to see Zero."

The big, beautiful behemoth sighed. "Why do I get the feeling that you have a brother complex."

"Shut up!" But he couldn't help the titter of laughter. "He's my brother and he was very upset last night."

Hana didn't answer, his eyes darker and focused on his face. "You should smile for me like that every night. I'm enchanted."

"You pervert. Let go! Where are my clothes?" Silver lashes swept over lilac, concealing virgin chagrin. The way that Hana was looking at him was an indication of just where the noble's mind was drifting. Too close for comfort were those thoughts.

"I got rid of your shirt and sent your pants down to the wash. I, however had them bring up some of your things while you were sleep."

"Pretty resourceful," Ichiru murmured the compliment like the worst insult angry at Hana's presumption.

"They do say that about me," Hana chortled. "Give up. I'm going to have my way.'

"Let go."

Hana did, albeit slowly and reluctantly, the murder in Ichiru's voice a very real threat to his livelihood. The furious knocking made Ichiru pause in his escape and this time it was Hana who sounded his frustration.

"Talk about the devil and he will show up at your front door," Hana quipped. "I should have known it wouldn't be long before he found you." He untangled the mess of sheets and covers around them before sliding to the edge of the titanic bed. "You talk about Zero and Kaname but you and your brother share a bond just as strong. Get dressed, I'll distract him."

Which wasn't going to be too hard, Hana decided after donning a comfortable lounge shirt and opening his door to the older silverette. He looked plenty distracted already, his purple eyes on faraway thoughts, his hands hanging limply at his sides. They did clear however when he came into view. Aidou felt as if he were being pierced by a hundred knives.

"Why is Ichiru in your rooms?" He began with preamble. He sniffed the air delicately his eyes sharp. "You haven't completed the bond yet."

"And why is that your business?" Aidou asked nonchalantly, enjoying the rise he was always able to get out of the ex-human.

He was surprised when Zero pushed past him into the room. He gave Aidou a savage look. "I don't have time to bandy words with you today Aidou. Where is my brother? Get him."

The demand was explicit, the expectation of his obeying clear. Aidou wondered when Zero had become his queen in truth.

"I'm right here." Ichiru rushed forward as he saw Zero's eyes. They glittered feverishly through a glaze of tears that threatened to fall at any moment. "What's wrong?" He sounded like a mother hen and for once Zero didn't scold him for it. Instead his mirror image took a deep shuddering breath.

"Somewhere else. Somewhere private."

Ichiru deliberately didn't look over his shoulder at Hana. "My room. No one will come there." The hint was crystal to Hana as Ichiru steered his brother from the room. Don't you dare interrupt!

Ichiru grew more alarmed as Zero trembled under his hands, suddenly seeming fragile. It shook him. His brother had never appeared fragile to him. He almost didn't make it to his room. Old room he saw, the door wide open as servants swept in and out. Zero gave him an astonished look.

"Don't ask. Every one out! You can continue this later."

One maid stopped, dismay coloring her brown eyes. "But master Aidou instructed us to-"

"I don't care what Master Aidou instructed. I need this room so every one out!"

He saw her mouth open to reply and watched as she caught sight of Zero finally. She blushed, bowing from the waist. "Pardon me Your Grace! I will have the room cleared out forthwith."

Ichiru stayed silent until the room was empty except for them. Then he rounded on his brother. "Tell me what is going on? Did you argue about last night? Is that why you look like you're about to cry? But it can't be that bad! Kaname would never-"

"Never what?" Zero broke into the started praise with bitter, shaking fury. " Never deceive me? Oh's he done that and more. Much more."

Ichiru blanched white as a clear, bright tear slid down a pale cheek. Zero never cried. Just thinking of the reason he would do so now sent him into a paroxysm of terror. He gripped his brother's shoulder tightly and shook him. "What happened? Did he hit you? I'll fucking-"

"No it's worse than that," Zero whispered, his face averted. "I'm pregnant."

"Wah?" Ichiru rocked back on his heels in shock. That was the last thing he ever expected to hear. "B-b-but how could that be? I mean you're both males and-" His babbling stuttered away as Zero's face swung back to him, the furious look on his face giving the tears sheening his eyes a sinister look.

"Apparently there is a way for two males to conceive and Kaname took it upon himself to perform this procedure on me and so…I'm pregnant."

"Shit!" Ichiru wrapped his ams around his twin abruptly. "How could he do that without you knowing?"

Zero allowed himself to be pulled into the embrace and steered to the couch. "Oh my darling was ever the resourceful King."

Hearing his word repeated sent a cold lick of ice down Ichiru's spine. "Explain. Please."

He listened, his horror showing clearly on his face as his brother filled him in on the details of his impregnation. By the end their wrathful expressions matched. "That bastard!" Ichiru breathed. "How could he do something like that? What in the hell was he expecting your reaction to be? Wait-" He stiffened. "What do you mean you want a vampire physician to tell you what you're options are? What other option could there be? Besides having two-" He cut off abruptly, the wounded look on his brother's face like a gunshot through the heart. "You would really?" He was a truly staggered now. Would Zero really consider-

"I don't know!" Zero slumped against his shoulder as a fresh sheet of tears fell, curling his body against his in a hunt for comfort, a ravaged air curling around the room. "I really don't.
