Reviews:
• SexyDeathEater - Thank you for the nice review(s). Yes... But like I said, there won't be jealousy until later on. Because right now, they are in a bad situation. Revolving around each other. Hence, the jealousy would have to come later. :)
• Starry Sky () - Hahahaha. I laughed so much reading your review. Thank you for the wonderful review. Yes, I agree. Zero is too cute for his own good isn't he? Oh, and like I mentioned... The jealousy, possessiveness will have to come later. Wait patiently k? XD
• LuanRina - I agree... Zero is goddamn cute! Thank you for the fantastic review... I actually thought the fluff was a bit too much but I guess not. But maybe Zero was OOC? Yes... XD

Enjoy! ~
The teacher looked, annoyed at the one empty chair in the class. It was not amusing. This was the fourth time HE has been late in two weeks. And today was a Monday. And they had a new student.
Sheesh. And the excuses. Headaches his ass.
What the teacher did not know was the person currently mentioned really did have headaches and was desperately trying to sleep them off.
And also, said person was currently brisk walking through the halls, desperately trying to reach the class. Nah, no running. Running was not allowed in school compounds. It was too troublesome to run too.
The door burst open.
"Ah... You have finally decided to grace us with your presence, Mr Kiryuu. I thank you for that." The teacher told the student, Zero, sarcastically.
Zero, being his usual self, replied back, "Your welcome, Mr teacher. I'm glad your English has improved."
The teacher fumed while the class chuckled and giggled quietly to themselves.
Taking his seat, Zero stared uninterestedly out of the window, wishing that time would go faster.
He did not notice the pair of eyes that were staring at him behind.
...
After class ended, Zero stretched, deciding to go back to his room to sleep off the upcoming migraine. It seemed as if he was getting headaches very often this days and they seem to be all in the afternoon. Thankfully, the time he spent with Kaname were headache-free. It seemed as if Kaname was his medicine.
Before he could get away, Ishida came up to him and said. "Zero, do you want to eat lunch together?"
Zero, about to decline rudely, remembered what the chairman had said. 'Treat Ishida-kun nicely. At least for now.' Sighing, he nodded his head. There went his extra sleep.
...
Surprisingly, lunch was quite enjoyable. Ishida was a funny and nice guy. He did not tell lame jokes or try to be funny like Yuki did. It was not awkward or uncomfortable, unlike what happens to some others who try to eat lunch with him. He could honestly say he had a decent meal.
Waving a hand, he walked back to his room, jumping slightly at the thunder that boomed through the school. Looks like a storm was coming up.
...
Somewhere through his sleep, he realised that the chairman had burst into his room.
Sitting up, growling as he did so, he looked at him.
"What do you want?" Having low blood pressure, Zero was not the best when he was interrupted from sleep.
"Zero! Ishida is gone. Missing! There shouldn't be students going outside because it's raining so heavily. Yet when I checked his room to ask him to do something, he was not there. Gone!" His hands made a 'poof poof' sign when he said that.
Zero sighed in exasperation. New student, already causing trouble.
"I need you to help me find him. Because it's raining, he couldn't have gone far. Also, another student is missing from the dorm. I'm afraid that..."
By then, Zero was wide awake and alert. Realising the gravity of the situation, he quickly put on the coat and rushed out the door. His senses screaming.
VAMPIRE!
"At least bring an umbrella. I don't want you getting sick, Zero!"
Not hearing his god-father anymore, Zero went to check the grounds, seeing if he could find the missing student.
...
Due to the fact that the rain washed away the scents, Zero could not rely on his sense of smell to sniff out the vampire or the human.
The footsteps too, even if they used to be there, were also washed away.
Zero groaned. The school was HUGE! How was he supposed to start searching? And he was already starting to get cold.
Suddenly, a scream broke out.
Dashing towards the direction of the scream, namely the Moon dorm, Zero cursed. Maybe the vampire, Ishida, had already gotten hold of the human.
Using his vampire speed, he managed to get to the dorm quickly. As he got closer, the smell of blood got stronger, meaning he was right. Thankfully, when he saw the scene, it seemed that Ishida had just bitten her as her eyes were wide open, in fear. And she was obviously petrified. Probably, all she wanted to do was to see her Night Class senpai's' but instead got this.
The poor girl, she probably never expected it.
Pointing his gun at the only other occupant within ten metre radius, he growled out lowly, "Vampire, get away from her."
Vampire, or Ishida, looked up and snarled, not pleased with the appearance of another human disrupting his meal. He seemed to have no control over the vampire within his body.
Zero looked at him in anger. To think that this was the 'funny and nice guy' he just had lunch with.
Deciding to deal with the intruder first and maybe get a good meal out of him, Ishida struck.
Jumping forward, Ishida bared his fangs at the ex-human. Leaping to the side, Zero skilfully dodged it and fired off two bullets, careful to graze but not hurt Ishida.
Unfortunately, he had underestimated Ishida's power. He was after all, a Level B vampire. The bullets did not even touch him before he dodged them. However, that led to a good question: Would Level Bs have no control over their vampire abilities like that?
Before Zero could ponder the question any further, Ishida turned to leap at Zero again, Zero once again tried to leap to the side. Only to overestimate the ground and the mud. It was unbelievably slippery in the rain and Zero slipped over the mud, would have fallen on his bottom if he did not have such fast reflex.
However, this created an opportunity for Ishida to attack. And attack he did. Ishida quickly moved forward and slashed deeply at his chest, making sure that his prey would not be strong enough to attack again.
Zero gasped in pain, attempting to jump back. Before he could even take one step, he was grabbed by the neck and lifted up.
Choking on air and trying to breathe to get more oxygen, Zero grasped at the arms holding him up. He desperately fought against Ishida, even if he was being rendered useless.
Black clouded his vision, making it hard for him to see.
It was getting tighter, the grip around his throat. He gasped out, "Ishida. Stop!"
As if he had heard him, Ishida stopped. But soon, the reason why was shown. He had not stopped for nothing. He brought Zero's neck down, loosening the grip a bit, causing Zero to take in large gulps of air.
Nothing could have prepared him for what happened next.
Without warning, Ishida's fangs sank deep into his neck. Too shocked to even scream, Zero tilted his head, a natural reaction to try and escape the pain coming from his neck.
"Ah!" The girl had apparently woke up again, saw the scene, screamed... And decided to pass out AGAIN. She's amazing.
'Ouch!' Zero thought mentally. Finally coming to his senses, he scrambled at Ishida, trying to get him to pull away. Sensing that his prey was attacking again, Ishida sank his fangs even deeper, tearing the skin.
"Urgh...!" Zero winced, eyes shutting closed, hands which were before frantically scrambling falling limp at his side.
Memories of four years ago appeared in his head. Unknowingly, tears formed within the confides of his eyes and spilled out.
Knowing that he could be sucked dry if he didn't quickly asked for help, using his last resort, Zero mentally screamed.
'KANAME!'
...
Eyes snapping awake from the nap he was taking, the irises bled red.
There was something very wrong.
There was an itch in his neck.
There was a sting on his chest.
It can't be that he needed blood.
Zero needed blood?
Can't be. He had just given the hunter blood two days ago.
Suddenly, a call came from his head.
'Kaname!' it said. It sounded like...
Zero!
He jumped out of bed, worried for his prefect immediately. It was unmistakably a cry of help from his beloved partner. It sounded like he was in pain and in trouble.
Something wafted into his nose.
BLOOD!
Zero's blood!
He could feel the Moon dorm arousing one by one. He had to do something quick. His Zero needed his help.
Summoning Takuma to his room through telepathy, he ordered him to keep the dorm orderly and left just like that.
...
"Mmm... You taste great. Unique and sweet. I want more! Will you give it to me, Kiryuu-kun!" It was more of a statement, not a question as Ishida dug into Zero's neck, causing a cry of pain. Swallowing the nectar that flowed into his mouth, he relished in the unique taste that belonged solely to Zero.
Zero was in a world of pain, not even registering that the vampire knew his name. His eyes were blurring, perhaps due to tears and perhaps he was losing consciousness. He felt cold and his body was growing limp.
'Where is Kaname? Will I never see him again? I still..have lots of things to say to him. I don't want to die yet.'
"Zero!" Hearing a cry of his name from a familiar voice, all Zero could do was sigh in relief, feeling the pureblood's aura coming closer and closer.
...
Running through the rain, Kaname arrived at the place to catch a horrendous sight. Someone else was biting HIS Zero! Unbelievable! Didn't they know who Zero belonged to? Outrageous!
Looking around, he saw a girl who had bite marks on her neck and immediately understood what had happened. And probably Zero had chased after her and THIS happened!
His aura turned murderous, causing Ishida to pull out his fangs in fear. This in turn caused another cry of pain from Zero, the fangs being pulled out had caused the skin to tear, the wound bleeding sluggishly.
Hearing the cry of pain, Kaname was angered further, his aura becoming frighteningly cold and icy. He had never felt so angry in his life, not even when Yuki was bitten.
Ishida, feeling the icy-cold aura, hurriedly dropped the hunter. He would have fallen if Kaname had not Vampire Sped over to catch him in his arms, cradling the younger vampire gently.
By this time, Zero had fallen unconscious from blood loss. Kaname was very worried for his lover. His breath was shallow and gasping. He was icy cold from the rain and the loss of blood. His cheeks were flushed an unnatural rosy red. All in all, it was not a good state to be in.
But sadly, before he could tend to his lover, he had to make sure the low-life before him didn't rampage anymore. Laying Zero down gently, covering him with the coat of the Night class, he appeared in front of the stupid vampire.
Growling, "You bastard! How dare you hurt him, even bite him! Can't you tell that he's mine? Mine and mine alone!"
His aura was murderous, causing a whimper from Ishida. Kaname moved swiftly, giving Ishida a hand to the neck and he was knocked out.
He could care less as he slumped bonelessly with a 'thud' to the ground.
Making a mental note to get someone to take care of the girl who was stupid enough to get caught, causing this to happen to the prefect, he slowly picked Zero up, careful not to jolt him anymore than necessary.
"Wait Zero. I'll help you. Don't die on me, okay?" he told the unconscious man in his arms, softly kissing his forehead.
He vampire speeded into his room, making Zero groan softly as this aggravated his injuries.
As he laid Zero down on his bed, he mentally called for Takuma to call a doctor. Without question, it was done.
He couldn't just sit down and watch as the younger man gasped and panted in pain. Kaname decided to give him blood. At least it would help with his injuries. He cut his wrist and put it by Zero's mouth, hoping that the scent would rouse Zero enough to make him bite his wrist.
It worked for the better part of it. Zero opened his mouth and ATTEMPTED to bite on Kaname's wrist. However, it made Kaname baffled as Zero didn't in the end. What was wrong? Is Zero refusing to drink blood even in his sleep?
Oh! He finally got it. Zero was too weak to bite. Kaname almost wanted to cry. His hunter was injured till he couldn't even bite into flesh anymore. It made his heart ache just to think about it.
No use pondering about it. Kaname bit his own wrist, not even flinching, and sucked in a mouthful of blood. Going closer to Zero, he pressed his lips firmly against Zero's and coaxed his mouth open. Using his tongue, he pushed the blood into the younger vampire's mouth, feeling him swallow.
Repeating this process a few times, he sighed in relief watching colour return to Zero's overly pale cheeks. Thank goodness that Zero was going to be okay now, hopefully.
...
The doctor arrived 5 minutes later. After knowing about the situation, he immediately set to work, taking out all that he needed from the medical box.
Examining Zero's pulse, his forehead, the injuries and bandaging it, the doctor told Kaname.
"Lord Kaname, Zero-sama has a steady but weak pulse. His injuries are fine and healing nicely, probably due to the blood you gave him. However, he will probably be sick for a few days after this. I am not trying to be rude. But pray let me ask, why have not changed his wet clothes? It causes his fever and he should have changed it out the moment he got out of the rain."
"Uh, I was worried that he might be dying so I didn't really notice about the clothes." Kaname scratched his head awkwardly, noting that it was really out character of him to say that he was worried and mentally scolding himself for not noticing Zero's wet clothes earlier.
The doctor nodded in understanding. "Alright, I understand. Yes, this are the symptoms. Please do beware, he might become delirious the next few days. Try to give him blood in a daily dosage but not too much. I know despite the fact that you think more blood is better, that concept is wrong. A bit everyday after meals are the best. Not too much. Not too little."
Kaname nodded in affirmation, thanking the doctor. After he had left, Kaname went to check on Zero.
Noticing that he was supposed to change Zero out of his wet clothes, he took some spare clothes of his and prepared to change him.
To make things less awkward, he used vampire speed to strip him hurriedly. Seeing the pale flesh showing, he ogled, preparing to tease Zero about it when he woke up.
After changing Zero in his clothes, Kaname threw the dirty, wet clothes into the laundry basket.
He called Takuma to get the laundry basket and washed those clothes and asked him to go and notify the chairman about the happenings so that he could go and erase the memories of that girl. Forget the stupid vampire. Who cares about him...
He then sat by the bedside, holding Zero's hand, waiting for the time he wakes up.
