Chapter 9
Hi people! :DDD New chapter is up! Aren't I fast? XD
Nothing much to say, just yea... Somewhat angst and hurt/comfort this chapter... :(( but yea... I can't really do angst chapters that well. You people (readers) could always teach me how to write angst scenes better. Just review for me. Tell me how you feel. :)) it'll make me infinitely happy.
Speaking of reviews, I thank the people who reviewed/alerted/faved soooooo much :)) when I see my email piling up with fanfiction things... It makes me Sooo happy everyday! XDD

- LuanRina: Hehe.. The story will be revealed slowly. XD Thank you Sooo much for the nice review. And yea, I'm kinda looking forward to what happens next too :)) hope you enjoy reading my new chapter. :)
- SexyDeathEater: Haha! I loved the fight scene too. But I'm not sure if it's nice and realistic enough. When I re-read the story, it seems very weird to me and somehow, it doesn't give me imageries like the manga does. So I'm not sure if it's okay. But anyway. Thank you Sooo much for the wonderful review.:)) I hope you enjoy this chapter too:))

Enjoy~
Somewhen in the middle of the night, Kaname moved himself into the bed, together with Zero. He cuddled up next to the younger vampire, hugging his waist tightly, the hunter's face at the crook of his neck.
Sighing in comfort and warmth, Zero shifted before going back to sleep. Kaname following soon afterwards.
...
When Kaname next woke up, it was already nighttime. He had not planned to sleep till so late, deciding to wake up at dinner.
"Well, whatever. It was a nice sleep." Kaname looked down, towards his chest to check for Zero. He still seemed to be sleeping, although maybe the ragged breaths were a sign of otherwise.
Wait...
Ragged breaths?
Why would he be breathing raggedly?
Unless...
The pureblood prince quickly checked Zero's forehead, finding it much too hot for his liking. Looks like his fever had escalated during the night.
Jumping out of bed, the ancient vampire dashed to find a cloth and wetted it, putting it on Zero's forehead. He appreciated the reaction as Zero sighed in relief, breathing a little easier.
Unbeknownst to him, the person currently in bed was having a bad dream.
...
~in his dream
'Hot...'
'Why was it so hot in here?'
Zero wondered around, seeking some form of comfort from the heat that he was feeling. Stumbling, he clutched at his arms, trying to make himself as small as possible to suffer less of the heat.
It was really hot. Burning hot. Kind of like hell. Sweating, Zero gasped and panted. The heat made him dizzy and have a headache.
Yet...
Despite the strong heat, he couldn't help feeling cold at the same time. It was unbearably cold now. It felt like he was in a freezer and suffering from the ice in the Arctic.
He was burning on the outside yet freezing on the inside. It was unbearable. He cried out in agony.
Why is this happening?
What was wrong with him?
Curling in on himself, he shivered. Wishing desperately for someone to help him with this, he called out. Called out for the one person he knew would reply. Called out for the one person he loved.
"Kaname! Help!"
...
~real life
Sensing his distress through their bond, Kaname was by his side in an instant. Putting his forehead on the hunter's, he felt the heat emitting from it. Concerned by the amount of sweat that was glistening on Zero's skin, he changed the cloth, trying to make him feel better.
Zero shivered and groaned, the heat getting to him. His eyes snapped open, glistening with tears. The pupils were dilated and glazed over, the fever making him almost delirious.
Noticing that Zero was awake, Kaname immediately fussed over the sick vampire.
"K...na...e. H...ot" Zero mumbled incoherently. Kaname cradled the younger vampire in his arms, cooing softly.
"Shh.. It's okay. I'll feed you some blood now so you can get better alright?"
Biting his wrist, he slowly dripped the flowing blood into Zero's parted lips, making sure to drip it all into the mouth. Watching as Zero's Adam apple bob, he waited till the holes healed before finally stopping.
Looking slightly better, Zero's fingers curled around Kaname's coat lightly, weak and unable to grasp tightly.
"St...ll hot. An... c...ld" Kaname pondered for a while, holding onto Zero's hand.
"Alright! Let's give you a bath." Kaname stood up energetically, pumped up. Zero looked like he wanted to laugh but did not have the energy to.
Kaname went to the huge bathroom that every room had. He opened the tap to the bathtub, making sure the water was cooling enough and not too warm or too cold. Then he went back to Zero's side.
Carrying Zero gently, so as not to aggravate his injuries, Kaname made his way towards the bathroom for the second time that night.
He stripped Zero of the clothes and slowly lowered him into the bath, hearing Zero cry out; the water feeling too cold for his hot and flushed skin. He kissed his forehead gently, promising that it would get better soon.
Hoping that he had gotten used to it already, Kaname put Zero completely into the water, leaving the head out. Zero sighed in relief, in turn causing a sigh of relief to escape from Kaname's mouth too; he was glad that Zero was feeling comfortable with the water.
They stayed like this for a few moments; Zero in the water with his eyes closed and Kaname just sitting beside him, making sure he didn't get hurt.
Kaname then went to help Zero shampoo and bathe himself. Usually Zero would bat his hands away, especially when it goes too...Uhem. He would blush a cute shade of red and pout slightly; though he denied when being told that.
But now he just sat in the bathtub, semi-conscious. Kaname gently bathed his injuries and kissed them, trying to make them feel better. Seeing the weak state that his lover was in, a few droplets of tears collected at his eyelid, threatening to spill over.
Zero seemed to see them; raising a hand to try and wipe them away. Kaname smiled gently. After he had finished bathing, he dressed Zero and brought him back out to the bed, cooing him to sleep so he could heal faster.
...
Groaning, Ishida woke up, sitting up to rub at his head where there was a fierce headache going on. Seeing that he had woken up in an unfamiliar room, he tried to recall what had happened the previous hours.
The door opened, revealing the chairman walking in. He had an uncharacteristically serious face on, making Ishida wonder if he had done something very wrong on the second day he'd been here.
Chairman's POV (for a while)
Staring at that confused Ishida's face, I just wanted to bash it in. How dare he give me that look as if he didn't know what was happening. Is he freaking retarded.
Hurt my son and expect to get away with it with a confused and innocent look on his face?
Ha! Dream on. Fat hopes on that happening.
Normal POV
"Um... Chairman Cross, is something wrong? There is this very serious look on your face and even though I've only been in this school for two days, seeing you yesterday was enough to proof to me that not only do you usually do not have that face on, you only have it on when something important or really serious comes up. Did I do something bad? If so, plea..."
Before he could go on any further, Cross banged his hands on the table in front of him. His glasses which hid his eyes, giving him a more dangerous look, glinted brightly while he stared at the student.
Ishida couldn't help but shiver. Despite not knowing that the person currently glaring at him was a vampire hunter, Ishida could still pretty much think of him as one. They always did say that people who smiled too much were the most dangerous. He could literally feel his life flashing before his eyes, you know, flashing because of the Chairman's glasses. Flashing...
Cross breathed in deeply to try and control himself. He opted to stare instead of glare at the vampire in front of him. He took of his glasses to message the bridge of his nose, not knowing that it caused the Level B to stiffen, thinking that something bad was going to happen to him.
"For your sake, Ishida-kun. I will refresh your memory," Cross started, happy when he saw the other flinch when he started talking.
"You have not only attempted to drank blood from one of the students in the campus. But you have also drank blood from the girl and injured one of our prefects. The first is encountered quite often enough but the second...
It is unimaginable. Not very frequently did it happen. And you should really beware. Someone is not happy because of what you did to the prefect. And neither am I." Cross added the last part silently.
"Do you want to know which prefect it is since you seem to have so happily lost your memory after attacking the two students of the campus."
Ishida stiffened after hearing that he had hurt a PREFECT. Praying that it wasn't Zero that he hurt, he listened for the answer.
"Zero Kiryuu. The one who was your tour guide. If you still remember instead of happily forgetting about him too." Ishida cursed at the irony of fate.
Sheesh.
Just when he was praying that it wasn't him, it turns out... It was.
Fate was too cruel. He wouldn't mind if it was 'the other one'. But...
"Does it trigger any memories? Have you finally decided to stop being amnesiatic (a word?)." Ishida blindly shook his head. The chairman growled.
"Fine. You're dumb. I don't usually scold students that but only if they hurt my son or daughter. This is what you did:
You went out to quench your thirst for blood in the rain. Nicely finding a student who was going to the Moon Dorm for a visit to the students there, you decided to suck her blood. We, me and Zero, realised you were missing and so was the other student so we went to look for you.
Zero was the first one to find you. He saw you drinking the blood of the girl, took out his gun and attempted to graze you, just so he could stop you. You were harder to manage and wounded him. Then instead of killing him, you decided to drink his blood because it smelled nice.
Thankfully, before he was sucked dry, Kaname found out and rescued him. Giving you a blow to the neck to knock you out and therefore causing your headache.
Of course, all this are only guesses. Seeing as I only know some details, I made guesses from my experiences and linked them together. I don't know if they are right. So yea. That's basically it. You did ALL of that. Broke one rule, maybe two." The chairman finished explaining.
Ishida could only stared shocked at him, not knowing how he did all of that. He was not blood-thirsty, he was sure of that. After all, yesterday he had just eaten blood tablets. Why would he be thirsty?
"I remember what happened yesterday... I was going back to my room after having lunch with Zero. And then... And then. Then I... I..should have stayed there. Shouldn't I?"
"Apparently, you didn't. Fine, seeing as you really don't remember, tell me what happened yesterday, that you remember. All of it."
"I umm... had lunch with Zero, as I said. I invited him to eat lunch and he agreed. We had a great time. But, oh.. Anyway, then after that I was walking back to my room. Now that I think about it, I had a strange feeling back then. Like someone was meddling with my head and not letting go. That's all. Until I woke up here in this room like this."
The chairman looked as if he was deep in thought.
'Hmm... Meddling huh? Looks like we got trouble brewing on our hands. I wonder what is happening? Or whose happening is this? What do they want?'
"Well, I'm sorry for keeping you up like this. Now, off you go! Try to get some sleep to replenish your energy. By-bye!" The Chairman's personality changed in a frightening extent to something chirpy and bright; completely different from before and he shooed Ishida out, leaving a bewildered and scared vampire, confused by the behaviour.
...
Ishida strolled back to his room. He pondered about the event. He really didn't remember anything. Somehow, it was like someone was controlling him, making him do things he didn't want.
Was something happening?
Why to him?
More importantly, what did the person controlling want?
