I am sorry for the late update but my reason was that my family went on vacation and I was dragged along on a month-long trip traveling California. Yeah, staying right next to a couple on their honeymoon is quite awkward. That aside, since the school year will be starting soon for me, updates will take longer so bear with me peeps. Here's chapter 11 and I hope you all enjoy it, cause we'll have a jealous and confused Zero in this chapter as well as a jelly Kaname. In the later on chapters and this one I'm thinking of making Zero a bit OOC because in this story he eventually accepts becoming a vampire. (Also on a side note, if anyone had any confusion with the authors note at the end of my last chapter, no I didn't mean the fanfiction was done, I just meant that chapter.)

I do not own Vampire Knight, only my OCs in this story.

The sound of elegant music and soft chatter echoed throughout the marble halls and the decadent ballroom of the Yokubo Manor as men and women of stunning beauty swept gracefully across the dance floor, each and every one of them inhumanly gorgeous and elegant. Their eye-catching clothes, with tuxedos of the most stunning fashion and stylish ball gowns that dripped with many a glimmering jewel, only enhanced that beauty.

Watching them afar and alone on an empty side of the room was Zero. With a fluke of champagne in his slender hand, his amethyst eyes trailed over the vampires twirling under the light of the chandelier only to flick up and rest upon a seemingly happy couple. Kaname was standing there with Lady Shitto on one of the balconies, a euphoric smile upon his aristocratic face and his burnt sienna eyes glimmered with delight as he conversed with the lady. Shitto herself was also ever so radiant; her lovely blonde hair fell in soft curls down upon the nape of her swan like neck and her sky blue eyes gazed back up with adoration at the taller pureblood male as they spoke to each other.

Watching the two so happy together made Zero's heart suddenly clench harshly, wrenching pain shooting through it, and he felt burning hot tears rise into his eyes. The silverette furiously blinked the tears away, still confounded on why he felt that way. Shouldn't he be glad the obnoxious pureblood wasn't paying any attention to him now? Shaking his head slightly, Zero set down the glass of champagne he was holding, determined to make the best of the night.

As he began to stride across the room to talk to Ruka and Senri, who were enjoying the night immensely at a refreshment table, a body crossed into his line of view, blocking his path.

Looking upwards, lilac orbs met deep emerald ones and the carrier's lips parted slightly in surprise as the handsome vampire standing in front of him lightly bowed and held out a glove encased hand. " May I have this dance my lovely carrier?"

Hesitantly, Zero stood there before looking around, wondering if he should. As he skimmed the room his eyes came to rest upon Kaname and Shitto once more. Angered once more by the happy sight, he decided to just enjoy himself, as Kaname obviously wasn't going to pay attention to him anyway.

" I'd be honored." Zero replied graciously, rose red lips curving into a small smile before he slipped his own smaller hand into the mysterious males offered one.

" …And so father took me to the meeting. Personally I find them very dull. There's always the most obvious solution to the problem but the vampires just argue continuously regardless of anything. It really does make me wonder about our ruling council." Shitto informed Kaname before taking a sip of the alcoholic beverage in her grasp.

" I completely understand how you feel Shitto." Kaname responded back, his own eyes filling with annoyance as he remembered when he had to go to those meetings, " When I go they won't stop until I threaten them numerous times."

A beautiful smile blossomed on the blonde's face at Kaname's sentence. " How about we forget about all this politic stuff and go dance and enjoy the night while it's still young?" Shitto offered, hoping to perhaps make a move on the handsome pureblood.

" Why not?" Kaname replied, before offering his hand out.

Grasping the brunette's hand, the two ascended from the balcony they were previously standing on to the dance floor. As Kaname placed his hand on Shitto's waist and her to his shoulder, his mind was distracted by a totally different view.

There on the dance floor, swaying side by side on the dance floor and both with happy smiles on their faces were Zero and another man. Grinding his teeth secretively in anger, Kaname began to dance with Shitto, but no matter what he tried, he couldn't get the sight of Zero in the arms of another man and how happy the two looked together. His heart filled with anger and just the slightest amount of hurt.

As soon as the song to the dance ended, he quickly bid Shitto farewell, leaving her with a look of confusion and slight shock at the sudden rejection painted on her lovely face and stormed off to the place Zero and the other man had retreated to, where they were currently enjoying a drink together.

" Wow, I had no idea that politics were so complicated in the vampire world." Zero remarked as he listened intently to Machigai, the now labeled vampire aristocrat. He was also from a very important vampire aristocrat family: The Yujin's.

" Indeed, things aren't what they always seem huh?" Machigai responded with a wink, before twirling Zero; causing the silverette to blush a lovely shade of red.

" So what do you like to do for fun?" The hunter inquired casually, as his freed hand slipped back into the taller male's grasp.

" Well, I adore horseback riding. It's very enamoring and the feeling of the wind rustling through your hair is like no other. Also, the scenery when you're riding is absolutely beautiful, though of course it can't compare to your exquisiteness." Machigai responded, subtly flirting with Zero as he did so. " You?"

" I personally enjoy reading a lot." Blushing, Zero recounted his favorite activity; his lovely amethyst eyes sparkled with delight. " My favorite genre is probably fiction, all the plots and universes are so imaginative and unique."

" Ah, I completely understand how you feel." Machigai said with a soft smile curling on his chiseled lips. " I too love reading, though I have to say I'm more into poetry and historical genres."

" Well I can also relate to your love for horseback riding, I have a horse which I suppose you can call my own. Her name is White Lilly. I personally love riding bareback with her and you're right, the feeling and scenery is perfection." Zero retorted with slight amusement as he and Machigai whirled to a stop on the dance floor, hearing the music gradually fade out.

" It seems we have much in common then!" The aristocrat laughed in delight, " Care for a drink?"

" I'd love to."

The two headed towards a rather secluded table that had a few champagne glasses set on it. As they sat down, Machigai took two of those glasses before offering one to Zero with a gentlemanly smile etched on his face.

Graciously, the hunter accepted with a grin. Wow, I've just spent about 10-20 minutes with a vampire and I haven't remotely disliked him or had the urge to kill him. I suppose I really am changing and adapting to the society I now live in. Biting his plump bottom lip, the silverette wondered if the changes he was experiencing were good or bad.

" What has you so worried my dear? Not that you don't look luscious when you bite your lip like that." Machigai inquired huskily, making Zero's face burn once again at the vampire's obvious flirting. However, for some reason the blatant flirtation didn't annoy the carrier, who usually became very annoyed when he was flirted with. Not only that, but with each passing moment he spent with the emerald orbed aristocrat, he felt his heart beat faster and faster for said vampire. Was this love?

" It's nothing." Zero brushed the other male's concern off easily; smile spreading on his face for what seemed like the hundredth time in the past minutes.

" Alright." Machigai nodded, before suddenly leaning closer so that the two's faces were merely centimeters apart and they could feel each other's breaths. As the two leaned closer together, they were suddenly ripped apart by a brute force. Looking up, confused lilac eyes met furious garnet ones.

"Kaname?"

Kaname saw red. Furious, pulsing, burning hot blood red that pounded so hotly in his veins he felt like shattering everything in the manor as well as killing most of the people in it as well. He was already pissed as hell due to the fact that Zero was dancing with someone other than him, but then seeing the gorgeous silverette, his gorgeous silverette leaning in to kiss another man had pushed him over the edge.

Who does that slut think he is? He is MINE. That porcelain skin is mine, his glowing violet eyes are mine, his plump pink lips are mine and most of all his soul, heart, and sweet ass are MINE. The brunette's inner pureblood was raging and he ripped the two people apart, startling them.

" Kaname?" Zero's confused voice asked before turning angry: " What the hell do you think you are doing?"

" What do I think I'm doing? What do you think you're doing?" The pureblood snapped back, equally enraged.

" I was about to kiss someone! Who I liked! What right do you have to step in?"

"I HAVE A RIGHT TO STEP IN BECAUSE YOU ARE MINE!" Kaname thundered, his loud voice halting every person in the ballroom. Everyone looked shocked because pureblood Kaname Kuran never raised his voice up to a shout. The vampires of the night class looked at each other with raised eyebrows, it seemed that their newest addition: Zero Kiryu was quite capable of causing a stir in their almost always calm leader; not that he didn't before hand.

" Um, it seems we have a misunderstanding here. Could anyone explain to me what's going on?" Machigai asked confused at the sudden events that had just happened.

" Don't worry about it." Kaname snapped before jarringly grabbing onto Zero's arm and dragging him off to some room in the Yokubo mansion.

After Kaname and Zero left the party haltingly began once more, but it took quite a while for everyone to slowly get back into the mood, with Machigai and the night class not getting back in the mood at all.

" Why the fuck are you doing this!" Zero shouted angrily as soon as Kaname shoved him into an empty guest room only to be pinned harshly against the wall.

" Why? Do you even need to ask why? Isn't it obvious?" Kaname growled, garnet colored eyes flashing scarlet red in both anger and some lust.

" What the hell do you mean it's obvious? It fucking isn't!" Zero retorted before beginning to struggle against the pureblood's iron grip, managing to force Kaname off of him only to have them both tumble to the floor.

" Ah!" A small cry escaped Zero as he scraped his neck when he fell on a shard of some mysterious object, causing small rivulets of blood to appear and drip down his neck.

In a second, Kaname's resolve snapped and his eyes changed from burnt sienna brown to crimson red in a flash, and permanently. Leaning down, he began to lap at the wound that marred the hunter's pale skin, eliciting a startled and unwanted moan from the carrier's throat; before suddenly sinking his glistening white fangs in, and began to suck erratically at the most scrumptious blood he had ever tasted. Thick, warm, sweet but with a hint of bitterness in it, and an intoxicating fragrance that appealed to his every sense, he was enamored and put under a spell.

Kaname continued to suck at the liquid, not taking in regard the smaller male who was struggling in his arms, his eyelids fluttering shut and his body becoming weaker as he fainted, too much blood taken. As Zero's eyes closed, he thought: What a fool I was to trust him, how can vampires be anything other than bloodthirsty monsters, as he had proven right now?

And end scene. Well damn that just got sad. Anywho, I hoped you has enjoyed and please review!
