Yagari growled as his eyes came open the familiar intimidating building. He opened the double doors and walked into the councils room. As expected, the counselors looked as though they were waiting for him.
He glared at them with his one eye, and although he appeared to be relaxed, his right index finger lightly laying on the trigger.
"We assume you have news about our certain... Exception." A white haired council member said with disdain.
Yagari gave a slight nod. "I was at the hospital today, and it seems the Zero," Yagari said the name slowly, to make sure the council took the hint, "has gone through a transformation."
"Yagari we don't have time to play silly games. What happened to the Kiryuu?" A pushy member asked.
"Zero is now able to bear children." Yagari growled out, glaring at the pushy council member.
There was rukus after the statement came out. "Silence!" The head council member, or the president as he liked to be called, commanded. He waved his hand at Yagari. "Please, tell us more and in detail."
Yagari cleared his throat. "I have just learned this so I do not know the full details but I'm from what I know Zero was chosen by some deity to bear children and ovaries were added to his reproductive system. His craving for blood has now increased greatly, and with his newly gained pheromones, he can attract people to drink from. With the help from the Night Class though they will contain his thirst and keep him from dying from lack of blood and going into heavy blood lust. I was also told that he is no longer a level D, which puts him at no risk from falling to a level E. The pureblood also mentioned that Zero's children, were he to have any, would be incredibly powerful possibly pureblood level."
The council pondered on Yagari's words, a blonde hunter stood up and glared at her associate. "So what you're telling me is that he has grown more powerful and yet even though he cannot fall to a level D he has almost insatiable bloodlust. Not only that but if he has children not only would they also be extremely powerful but they would also cause a burden to-"
"That's enough." The presidents crisp voice stopped the irate female. "Let's look at this in a bright light. Yagari, follow me. Everybody else is dismissed."
Takuma didn't know what to think. His mate was currently stroking the carriers head, but not just stroking it, stroking it lovingly. And Zero was leaning into the touch!
Not even a minute ago the younger vampires were having a stare off. Blueish- silver eyes met lilac- silver eyes and they didn't blink,. And now... Takuma sat on a chair a few get away from the bed, watching his lover sit on the edge of the patients bed while working his magic fingers.
"Senri?" He whispered, not wanting to wake up the silver haired boy that fell asleep, and unsure of what he was going to ask.
"He looks like my younger brother, if I had one." Senri answered the unspoken question. "I had always wanted a sibling... Kaname didn't exactly give me a good family experience." He mumbled.
The lovers did not speak, just did their duties to protect the carrier. Zero slept peacefully, Senri's stroking relaxed him and was lost in a deep sleep.
It was eight hours later, about three in the morning, when Shiki woke up by a sharp pain on his neck. His eyes shot open to see the bright red eyes of Zero, who was currently sucking away at his neck.
Senri felt his body growing weaker as Zero was suckinng too much blood, "Zero, Zero stop it." Shiki ordered, but it was ignored.
Feeling his life being sucked out of his Senri did the only reasonable thing at the moment with a pumping vein in front of him, he bit back.
Zero's eyes dulled to their usual lilac-silver, and once Senri had regained his senses both pulled away looking at each other wide eyed. Senri snapped his head toward the direction of the lone chair a few feet away. Their blissfully asleep lay an occasional snoring Takuma.
"Zero, we can never tell anybody." Senri stated. Zero nodded. "Our relationship will be strictly platonic" Shiki stated once more. Zero once again nodded. "We can never tell Takuma." In response to Shiki's last command the silver haired boy shook his head.
With difficulty and shaky legs he walked over to the blond and gently shook him awake. "Hng?" Was the only thing to come out of his mouth. It was only when he sniffed the air did he smell the scent of a bond.
"Ichijou, I'm sorry." Were the first things out of Zero's mouth.
Takuma sighed, anger burning slightly inside of him, he would be furious if he wasn't such a passive person. He remembered Senri's words earlier, Zero was like a brother he never head. So he patted Zero's head kindly. "Just don't do it again." Zero felt a murderous intent creep upon him as Takuma patted his head a little harshly. "Ever."
Senri let out a sigh of relief. It was common knowledge that any dominating vampire whether unmated or not was extremely possessive and overprotective of their more - for lack of a better word- submissive partner and Takuma was no exception. The redhead could only guess it was his claim of Zero as his brother that had prevented Takuma from painting the white room red with the carriers blood.
'I will just have Kaname erase the bond later. Platonic or not Senri Shiki is property of Takuma Ichijou' Takuma thought as he tried to go back to sleep.
Zero awoke the next day to find his face buried in the firmest chest he had ever felt. He could feel himself bouncing slightly as the person carrying him walked on.
"I see you're awake." A familiar sickeningly charming voice proclaimed. Zero mentally groaned.
"What do you want, Kuran?" Zero growled.
"Takuma told me about the incident last night, or this morning should I say. We cannot have that on school grounds. We cannot have you biting people necks just because you're hungry."
It was then that Zero noticed the familiar surroundings of the woods near the dormitories. "So what are we doing here then?"
Kaname set Zero down on the floor, and grabbed a handful of Zero's hair. He grabbed Zero's head and placed his mouth just barely hovering above his neck. "Bite me Kiryuu." The pureblood commanded.
Zero tried to pull away only for his head to be brought back to the same place.
"I guess I'll just have to go with strategy number two." The pureblood said coyly, and before Zero knew what was happening, he felt his life force being rapidly sucked out of him. His knees buckled slightly but he managed to stay upright.
"K-Kuran! Stop! You're taking too much!" Zero struggled with trying to push the stronger away and trying to stay upright. With the pulsing vein in front of his dry mouth, he did as Kaname first commanded and bit into the purebloods neck.
He drank until he could fit no more, and the pureblood did not complain. "Kuran... You're a cunningly little bastard. Always getting what you want."
"There was a point to all of this, now I will know when you are hungry, when you are happy, when you are angry, and such. It also decreases the risk of you biting off of some mortal. And Takuma wanted me to erase the bond you and Senri had formed because it was new it was very strong which is why I let you take more than you needed. Takuma is a possessive little vice." Kaname said with a chuckle.
Zero glared at Kaname. "So what, we have a bond now? Is this your way of trying to take control of me? Taking your claim over the new treasure?" Zero asked with malice.
Kaname frowned. "I didn't do it for you, I did it for the headmaster, just because you are no longer a level D does not make you equal to me Kiryuu, know your place and watch your tongue. You will report to the Moon Dorms tonight and that is where you will be staying from now on."
