Tada! Here we have chapter 5, which will basically be Zero being introduced to the night class and Aido, being the asshole he is, will obviously say something to insult Zero and cause Kaname to be angry. I hope you enjoy this chapter as well and I do not own Vampire Knight. Also, on a totally unrelated note, my friend just got a stuffed moose delivered to her house. A full-bodied moose.
Chapter 5~
Kaname woke up from his sleep, blinking blearily and yawning as well. The second day of summer vacation was well underway and the weather was as perfect as it could be. Also, the pureblood thought deviously, Zero will be here and I can introduce him to the night class. Oh, I can't wait to see my gorgeous mate, my beautiful queen. Kaname suddenly had a revelation. When did I stop hating Zero?
Flashback~
Kaname was walking around the territory of the school when an alluring scent of blood seemed to catch his smell. Cautiously following the smell, the pureblood stumbled into a small yet enchanting clearing.
The small bit of land was lush and overflowing with nature as trees stood all around with vines and blossoms blooming here and there. In the middle of the clearing was a pond that was fueled by a small, crystalline water fountain, and in that almost clear pond was the most enchanting being he had ever seen. The young male's porcelain skin seemed to shimmer in the light as rivulets of water ran down his muscled upper body. His silvery hair was damp and hung sexily to his aristocratic looking face. The face itself was of undeniable beauty, like a nymph. Pale, creamy skin was covered with two glimmering lilac eyes that shined like amethyst fire in the sun. High cheekbones and a pert nose added a hint of elegance and royalty to the enchanting being's face while the rosy, plump lips finished off the ensemble, giving the male a rather cute and seductive touch; not that he wasn't seductive enough before. Trailing his eyes downwards, the brunette vampire hungrily took in even more of the silky smooth skin, his gaze raking over the muscular yet feminine figure before resting on the boy's gorgeously round ass.
Gaping a bit, Kaname realized that this sexy person was none other than our very own beloved hunter Zero Kiryu. It was that day that his feelings for Zero first began to blossom, first for the hunter's body, and as time dragged on for the hunter himself fully: body, heart, mind, and all.
Flashback End
" And now, I have the chance to make him my mate, and I will take this chance." Kaname finished off with a vow before dressing and heading out of his room, closing the door with a bang.
" Here's your food Kagemi." Zero said, setting down the steel metal bowl filled with cat tuna feed down onto the carpeted floor of his room. Purring, the small black kitten padded over, bent down, and began to eat the food.
A knock suddenly resonated on the hunter's door. " Zero, may I please come in?" The monotone voice of Senri greeted him.
" Sure." Zero called out, his back still to the door as he began to make his bed. Senri opened the door and then stepped into the bright room.
Squinting slightly, the mahogany vampire requested: " Could you pull down the curtains a bit? It's slightly too bright for my eyes."
Nodding, the silverette walked over to where the thick drapery lay hung on the sides, spread to let all the buttery sunshine of the warm summer day fill the room. Reaching up, Zero tugged slightly on the ribbons that held the drapes up, lowering them down to allow some darkness into the room. " Ah, much better." Senri sighed in thanks.
" So why are you here?" Zero casually asked.
" Well, today is when you will be introduced to all the night class students so I was sent by Kaname-sama to get you."
Zero nodded, motioning for the blue-eyed vampire to lead the way. Senri, who got the hint, turned on his heels and headed out of the door with Zero following close behind. As the two strolled down the luxurious hallways of the night class dorms, Zero's eyes wandered around, still unused to the luxury. Finally, they reached the wooden doors that lead to where the night class usually met. Except well now it wasn't even night class, it was more of Kaname and his group of lackeys. At least there were no extra vampires for Zero to worry about for the summer at least. Suddenly a mocking voice echoed from inside the room: " I bet the new transfer student got scared and ran away." Zero glared and straightened himself before pushing the doors open harshly.
" So, our new transfer student is coming today right?" Rima asked.
" Yes." Kaname nodded.
" I wonder who it is?" Ruka asked innocently although she already knew due to her walk with Zero.
" Tch." Kain grunted uninterested.
" I bet the new transfer student got scared and left for his mommy." Aido sneered mockingly, as the student hadn't arrived yet.
A bang from the door opening interrupted his sentence. " He's here!" Senri grinned, sending a small wink to Kaname.
" And to answer your question Aido, no I did not leave. Plus my mother is dead, didn't you know?" A smooth, cold and familiar voice said.
" Kiryu?" Aido asked in shock as the silver haired carrier stepped into the room. " What the hell are you doing here, dirtying our room with your filthy level D presence."
" Ah." Zero said, unaffected, " I was not aware that we had a wild animal in this room. You sure you don't need animal control Kuran?"
" How dare you speak to our precious Kaname-sama that way! You are not worthy of even looking upon him."
" Oh and you are?"
" More so then you."
" Well actually, I have more right then you." Zero said snootily, sticking his nose up.
" You're delusional Kiryu. How does the likes of you have more rights than me?" Aido questioned, slightly confused but mostly pissed as hell.
" I will have you know that I am a carrier, and thus of higher lineage than all of you besides Kuran." Zero answered haughtily. He hated throwing around his status, especially one he despised so much, but Aido was pulling his last nerves.
" Oh yeah? Prove it then." Aido responded smugly with a smirk.
Snarling, Zero pulled down his collar to reveal the stork tattoo on his neck. " Proof enough for you?"
Aido gaped, unable to say anything back, too shocked by the fact that the supposed level D vampire was actually a carrier, the " queen" in vampire society.
" Enough!" Kaname interrupted, his eyes full of anger. " Aido, come to my room to discuss your punishment. You have done enough, not only attacking our new transfer with verbal abuse but disrespecting a carrier so blatantly as well!"
" Stuff it Kuran." Zero cut in annoyed, " I can take care of myself, I don't need you butting in on my behalf."
" You may not need my help," Kaname countered, " But Aido is still my underling an a vampire so I shall punish him as per my opinion and the rules of vampire etiquette."
" Fine." Zero said looking away.
" I'm glad you see my point." Kaname said with a slight bit of humor in his tone before turning back to Aido, his eyes turning wintry again. " Come, Aido."
" Yes Kaname-sama." The aristocrat replied meekly, following the pureblood out of the room. The doors closed with a soft thud.
" Well." Takuma interrupted the silence. " That was awkward."
" No kidding." Kain murmured, " I always tell that idiot to be careful around Kaname-sama but will he ever listen to his cousin? Oh no."
" Well, I think that's just how Aido is." Rima offered, throwing a pocky stick at Senri who caught it with his mouth.
" Mmmmm." Senri nodded in agreement, his mouth filled with the pocky stick Rima just tossed him. Everybody soon fell silent afterwards.
" So how's your first day been Zero?" Ruka asked friendlily, attempting to include the carrier as well as break the icy silence that fell over them.
" Pretty boring until that fight with Aido." Zero replied; ignoring all the shocked looks he received from the night class.
" Yeah. So how's Kagemi?" Ruka asked again, " Can I come over to your room sometime to see her?"
" She's doing fine," Zero answered, " And sure, why not? I'm sure she'll enjoy it."
" Wait, Kiryu-kun, since when have you and Ruka become friends? Last I remember, you guys hate each other due to your feelings over Kaname." Takuma questioned confused.
" Oh, well my crush on Kaname-sama faded a while ago, and we bonded over his kitten: Kagemi." Ruka explained. Zero nodded in assent.
" You have a kitten Kiryu-kun?" Rima asked, her interest suddenly peaking.
" Hai, a black neko." The silverette replied. " Why?"
" I love cats!" The orange haired girl squealed, " Please tell me I can come to your room to see her sometime?"
" Why not." Zero shrugged. Suddenly, a devious idea popped into his head. " Well, Ruka also adores kittens, especially my Kagemi so when you come over, why don't you let her introduce Kagemi to you? I'm sure she's fine with it, right Ruka?"
Ruka blushed slightly, glaring daggers at the hunter, who attempted his best to look innocent while standing where he was. The slight upward lift of his lips was enough to ruin the image though.
" Will you Ruka?" Rima asked, wide-eyed. She really did adore kittens. Ruka bit her lip nervously, shooting a look at Zero who responded with a nod of encouragement. Steeling her pulsating nerves, the toffee haired vampire nodded, causing the orange haired vampire to screech in delight and hug her, flustering Ruka immensely. Zero silently laughed at her embarrassment, causing her to secretly flip him off.
Suddenly a cry of pain echoed through the hall. " NO KANAME-SAMA! I'M SORRY!" The voice of Aido sounded rather distraught.
" Have you learned your lesson?" The voice of the pureblood was cool and unaffected. Another bang sounded and Aido cried out again. " YES!"
" Good, now you may leave."
A few minutes later, the aristocrat vampire wobbled in, limping slightly. An array of bruises showed on his face and the side of his leg while the marks of a whip were clear to see on his arm. Shooting a hateful glare at Zero, Aido turned to Kain. " Can you help me to my room?" He asked, his voice slightly hoarse.
" Did Kaname-sama hurt you anywhere excessively?" Kain asked concerned.
" No actually," Aido said with a dry laugh, " It was better than it would have been. He himself was pissed as hell and wanted to kill me but then he seemed to calm down. I heard him whispering: I must not put out a bad image to him; I must not put out a bad image to him. I wonder who this 'him' is? But yeah, anyway he just gave me a small beating and then twenty lashes according to the whole 'vampire rule book' thing."
" That's better than you usually have Hanabusa." Ruka remarked.
" Yeah." Aido sighed but then his eyes turned cold and his lips curved back to reveal sharp fangs in a gruesome scowl. " But Kiryu, you will suffer for making me look bad in front of Kaname-sama. Just you watch. I'll find a way to hurt you."
" Looking forward to it." Zero responded coolly, not showing the slightest bit of fear nor remorse for his pervious insults and actions.
Growling once more, the blonde haired vampire marched off with his orange haired cousin accompanying him from the back.
" Maybe you shouldn't have done that." Takuma said worriedly, " This will cause another fight and Kaname-sama will be even more ticked off than before. And who knows, he may take it out on you, Kiryu-kun."
" I'm not scared of those bloodsuckers." Zero replied, his voice even. " After all, what's the worst that could happen?"
And so concludes the fifth chapter.
I hope you enjoyed it and please review! I would love some feedback on my work good or bad as long as you're not rude about it.
