Kaname smiled softly as his eyes came upon the Sun Dorm building. Of course it was practically empty with most day class girls still watching the crossing over and the rest, being the male's and the remaining girls, mostly in the town. Kaname walked swiftly to Zero's room on the highest floor at the very end. He smiled at the thought, that boy sure loved his privacy.

Kaname walked right into the building, he was sure Zero had smelled him but wondered why the boy had not come running with his bloody rose aimed at his head.

The pureblood let out a fanged smile as he saw the door of Zero's room getting closer; he didn't bother with pleasantries and barged right in.

Only to find the room empty. He felt maliciousness overcome him.

His eyes grew the same dark blood red as before. His smile turned upside down in an instant. His emotions went haywire for a millisecond and he punched Zero's wall with full force, making the whole wall crumble. The debris fell into the room but most fell four floors onto the pristine grass below. Once the dust cleared and he regained his control; he stared at the beautiful landscape that was Cross Academy. Of course with his vampire vision he could see much farther and clearer than the human eye, which is how he caught a glimpse of silver hair before it disappeared farther into the woods.

Kaname narrowed his eyes. 'Was his mate purposefully avoiding him?' Kaname let out an animalistic growl in disapproval. He was about to jump the four stories and start chasing after the hunter, when he felt a wave of clarity hit him. 'No... This isn't me. What is happening to me?' He thought clearly.

He didn't want this. He didn't want to feel these... feelings for Zero, but he didn't have a choice. It was as if something inside of him, dark and sinister, was forcing him to feel these emotions, was telling him to behave this way. And Kaname didn't like it, but then again it's not like he could resist anyways.

Trying to compromise with him and his dark conscious he jumped off the building landing gracefully as he sped towards Zero. His darker half smirked devilishly. 'The hunt is on.'

Zero let out a small laugh as he rode his beautiful white mare around the forest. The horse was also having fun as she jumped over some fallen trees and sped at high speeds, completely confident her rider wouldn't fall. After a slow ride to the stables to get Zero's helmet, which he was reluctant to get but White Lily would not let Zero ride her without a helmet, Zero was pushing his best friend to her limits. Of course White Lily was breathing hard, but she was extremely happy. No one ever took her out for rides although it wasn't like she let them, so going out for a ride was extremely exhilarating.

"Okay girl, let's go we should be heading back. It's almost dusk. I have to begin my rounds soon." Zero whispered lovingly into White Lily's ear as he patted her head gently. He turned her around and almost fell off of her in fright. "Kuran what the hell!" Zero yelled, he reached for his bloody rose only to remember he left it on a hay stack back at the stables when he put his helmet on. "What are you doing here? Get to class!" He yelled again, he felt himself grip White Lily's reins tighter and his gut clench a bit painfully. Something felt wrong. Kaname was just looking at him. His eyes were flashing between a dark blood red and their usual chocolate brown. "Kuran...?" Zero called out cautiously.

Zero saw Kaname close his eyes before they shot open again revealing the unnatural dark red. Kaname let out a dark smile, flashing his fangs. Zero's gut was now hurting so badly he knew that this wasn't right and he was about to make a run for it when in a flash Kaname disappeared from in front of the hunter to right beside him. White Lily started bucking at pureblood being so near her. Kaname teasing licked Zero's ear, making him flinch. He leaned in again and Zero stood statue stiff. "The hunt in on." Kaname purred out as he nipped Zero's ear, drawing a bit of blood.

Zero's eyes widened and he kicked the pureblood away from him before snapping the reins forcing the bucking horse to run. Zero held on tightly as he could feel his blood and heart pumping wildly. He could barely see the edge of the forest in the dimming light, but that did not reassure him at all as he could still feel the pureblood behind him. Hell the brunet wasn't even trying! And Zero knew it by fact. They had been riding for about ten minutes and each minute felt like years torture. It was when he was about ten meters away when he left White Lily trip on a root and he felt himself go flying. He felt himself fly through the air, before crashing into something hard. Though all he saw black fuzzy spots at least he didn't break anything and was still conscious.

He could barely make out the white uniform of the pureblood who was for some reason upside down, except now instead of a teasing aura surrounding him, he could tell the pureblood was furious.

And why was this tree so warm? In fact, it didn't even feel like a tree. "Zero." He heard a familiar, deep, and loving voice call his name.

"Hn?" He called still a bit disoriented; he felt himself flipped foreword, no longer upside down and came face to face with an orange haired, brown eyes aristocrat.

"Akatsuki?" Zero mumbled in disbelief, his lover should've been in class!

"I felt your panic through our bond. I also felt you bleed. I got worried Zero. I now know who is messing with my lover." Akatsuki said with a growl as he glared at Kaname.

The pureblood blinked and his eyes returned to normal. "My apologies, Akatsuki. I was looking for Kiryuu-kun like I had instructed Yuuki, when I saw him riding away from a beehive. I saw him cut his ear when he passed under a particularly sharp leaf. I tried to catch up to him but he seemed determined to ride until he reached the edge of the woods. I guess he must have confused me for the bees which is why he did not stop earlier. Isn't that right, Kiryuu-kun?"

Zero could only remember how Kaname's dark blood red eyes looked at him with lust and craze. And although he knew Akatsuki would protect him now, what if they were alone together again? He cleared his throat a little. "Yes, I'm sorry I scared you so badly Akatsuki. If you could please put me down, I'd like to check on my horse."

Before Akatsuki put Zero down he made sure to make a show of kissing Zero passionately, leaving him moaning and breathless, making sure the pureblood was watching. And Kaname was, his blood was passed the boiling point and his eyes were flickering as he felt a wave of possessiveness and jealousy come over him but he knew he could not act, at least not right now. Instead he turned around, and walked closer to the glaring horse; he was desperately trying to keep the images of a moaning Zero out of his head. He was sure the pair would be able to smell his arousal and see the bulge in his pants if he turned back and did not calm his raging thoughts. 'It's his damn blood that's got me feeling this way. I knew I never should have tasted it.'

Zero broke away from the kiss first, embarrassment all over his features as he pulled away from Akatsuki before shakily getting on his feet and making his way towards his horse.

"Oh thank Kami." Zero cheered as he neared his horse. He fell to his knees and bent over slightly to examine his mare. Although she was neighing angrily he was glad her leg wasn't broken. He couldn't handle losing her. Instead he carefully attempted to unwrap a root from her hoof. "It's okay Lily." Zero muttered softly as he unwrapped the root, he could feel the pureblood and the aristocrat watching him carefully, or probably checking out his butt.

He finally stood back up and was about to try and help her back up when he was lightly pushed out of the way by Kaname who gave him a warm, secretive, and deceiving smile. "Let me do it, Kiryuu-kun."

Kaname avoided a multitude of bites from the horse before she finally relented and let him help her up.

"Here you go, Zero. Please take her back to the stables. I will accompany you." Kaname said, completely ignoring the other male.

Zero however ignored the pureblood and turned to his lover. "Akatsuki, please help me take White Lily back to the stables and then help me go find the veterinarian."

Kain smiled softly and nodded. Although the horse was limping slightly Zero knew she would be okay. "Let's go riding again another time." He whispered in her ear before he gave the staring pureblood a sharp look. "Maybe next time undisturbed."

Akatsuki wrapped a possessive arm around Zero's waist before the trio made for the stables.

Kaname stared at the receding trio. "Zero, as much as I don't like this other part of me, I don't regret drinking your blood and I do not regret feeling what you make me feel." He said darkly.

No matter how much I try, I can never make a normal love story, sheesh. Oh well!
