A/N: Hey everyone sorry this chapter is a late and it's a short chapter sorry. The writer of the story got sick last week and this week we had an essay to turn in and it was a horrible week for the both of us, so yeah. Anyway, she promises that the next chapter will be longer I hope and have a very smexy scene for you guys. Enjoy the story ^^

Chapter 4

Much to Zero's dismay, the dreams were reoccurring. Ever since Zero's transformation, he had nightmares: flashbacks of the slaughter of his family, his brother smirking at him from Shizuka's side, Zero losing his sanity and killing everyone he could reach for the precious blood that pulsed through their veins. Those were his typical nightmares.

But this was flat out ridiculous.

It was a well-known fact that Zero Kiryu hated Kaname Kuran, so why the hell was he dreaming about him? Zero was concerned that maybe in the near future, there would be no cold water left in the headmaster's residence.

It's not like wanted to enjoy it. Zero's excuse was that he was just a typical horny teenager, and it didn't take much to get him hot and bothered. But teenage hormones couldn't excuse the passionate cries, or the look of rapture that replaced is usually solemn features.

But the worst part wasn't that he seemed to enjoy it. It was that he was on the bottom. In Zero's eyes, it was impossible to enjoy sex if you were the one pinned to the bed, or bent over the edge of the bed (or any other available furniture, as Zero recalled a particularly steamy dream that involved a well-polished writing desk).

Last night's had been the worst, the silverette sat mortified in his bed as he recalled being made to in the prince's lap. Like some sort of lapdog in heat. Craving his now-routine cold shower, Zero was dismayed to discover Yuki already occupied his freezing haven. His sleeping schedule was still off, so occasionally he would wake up around the same time his Day Class schedule demanded.

Frustrated and aching, the former-human stalked back to this room and forcefully shut the door.

"Kaname, this isn't way to accomplish – "

"And what am I trying to accomplish Ichijo?"

In truth, he didn't know. Ichijo was in a happy relationship, so he didn't understand Kaname's relentless teasing towards Zero. Actually, it was more like tormenting. Ichijo often witness Zero's unhappy reaction to Kaname's advances and felt concern for the former human.

"I don't expect you to understand, Ichijo. Sometimes, the only way to combat darkness is with more darkness," Kaname stated without looking at the blonde companion.

"Kaname! I'm sick and tired of your metaphors! Why can't you just tell me why you're doing this?" Ichijo lashed out at the prince.

A small smile graced the pureblood's lips. Ichijo only yelled when he felt strongly about an issue, and Kaname could tell that he deeply cared about his pureblood friend, secondly only to his beloved Senri Shiki.

"I'll tell you this, Takuma," Kaname began, "it's something that a happy person, like you, wouldn't be able to understand."

And with that, the pureblood left solemn and confused Takuma Ichijo to contemplate in the darkness.

Original A/N from: yes, this chapter is crappy. I'm so sorry! Last week I was sick and this I was too depresses to write, so all I can give is this for now. But I'll so my best for next chapter. And for everyone wanting some role- reversal I haven't forgotten about you; that's coming!

Reviews will bring me out of my funk!
