"Leave me," Kaname said imperiously, and when Zero did not immediately go, a piercing look from Kaname, intimidating even Zero, was given him. He straightened his uniform hastily, re-buttoning his trousers and tucking his shirt in loosely and tossing the jacket over his shoulder.

"You'd better go through the window," Kaname said, "The smell of my blood as stirred them up and it might be troublesome if you went out through the dorm."

Without a word, Zero left, his head a whirl of thought.

Kaname righted a table that he had knocked over when he lifted Zero to slam him into the wall, and he straightened the now-cracked vanity mirror. The wall he smoothed with his hand, his ability sealing the cracks and smoothing the drywall. He couldn't do anything about the shredded curtains so he opened them to minimize their effect.

Then Kaname stripped of his torn and bloodstained uniform, throwing off the jacket and his vest atop it. He unbuttoned his stained shirt and peeled it away from his body. Kaname absently fingered the small holes in his neck, which had not yet entirely healed due to the effects of Zero's 'bloody rose' gun. Kaname's fingertips gently quested to his waist and brushed his hip where Zero had bitten him. Kaname savoured the sharp pain that pulsed there when he pressed, remembering what Zero's fangs had felt like there.

Knowing that soon one of the other vampires in the Moon Dorm would come knocking, Kaname put on a shirt and drifted to stand by the window. Expectedly, a short knock came a little while latter and the small voice of Aido behind the door, "Kanamesama, I smelled blood and wanted to be sure that you're alright."

"Enter," said Kaname, and Aido slowly pushed the door open, peeking around it into the room. When he caught sight of the state of the room, Aido came forward quickly, leaving the door open behind him, and opening his mouth to address Kaname.

"Close the door, Aido," Kaname said, "You may come in, but to ask me needless questions or ones that I will not answer will only annoy me."

"Kanamesama," Aido said, coming forward with his head bowed, having closed the door behind him, "I see that you are reasonably healthy although I do worry seeing the state of your room. I presume someone has been here judging from your state."

Kaname fingered his neck where the wounds from Zero's fangs were still evident and marked that Aido was staring pointedly at them as he finished his sentence. When he saw that Kaname noticed his gaze, Aido quickly lowered his eyes to the floor and bowed his head more deeply.

"I'm thirsty Hanabusakun," Kaname said, "I've lost a lot of blood and am feeling quite drained and lethargic."

Aido's eyes widened at the use of his first name, but they were lowered and he attempted to conceal his reaction and recover as quickly as possible.

"Then please let me get Ruuka or Seiren to come and give you some of their blood. I seem to recall that you drank Ruuka's blood at one point. Would you prefer hers?"

"No," Kaname said perfunctorily.

Aido was thrown and stammered, "Then I should get Seiren, or would you prefer someone you do not know as well?"

"I want neither. Now come here."

"Kanamesama," Aido said, rising and coming closer. But he stopped and knelt before Kaname, waiting.

"Stand before me," Kaname said, with little patience in his voice. Aido stood up and faced Kaname, still unable to meet his eyes directly. Kaname grasped him by the chin and turned his face upward so that he was forced to meet Kaname's eyes. They were blood red in lustre and bored into Aido's with the full force of Kaname's ferocity. Aido blushed and averted his eyes, but Kaname shook his head and Aido met his gaze again. Kaname stare bored deep into Aido, stripping away his defences and leaving him feeling naked and vulnerable. The power of the pureblood was mesmerizing. Ordinarily, it would not have arrested Aido, but now Kaname was putting the full force of his personality behind it and Aido was lost. He felt dizzy as if he were spinning and then hot before it seemed that everything in the world had shifted slightly leftward, but Aido was stuck staring straight ahead. His eyes felt too big for their sockets, but seemed to swim in the space of them.

Then Aido lost control and his limbs grew weak and could no longer support him. Kaname held him up easily as if Aido weighed nothing, and Aido felt the delicious pain of Kaname's fangs sliding into his neck.

"Oooh," Aido sighed, his body relaxing into Kaname. Kaname's hand was behind Aido's head and then his neck, pushing him hard to drink. Aido's heart raced at every 'gulp' as Kaname swallowed and his nerves thrummed with sensation.

'He needn't take it,' Aido thought, 'I would have given it freely if he asked.'

'But then you would not have been in my power,' Kaname replied in his head, 'and I like vampires better docile when I take their blood.'

'Kanamesama'

Kaname had lifted up Aido's jumper and was tracing his belly with cool fingers. Kaname raised his knee, coming between Aido's legs and hiking him up onto tiptoe before Kaname. Kaname's hand left Aido's neck and was mounding Aido through his trousers.

'Ka – sa – a' Aido thought in a breathless rush. How were his thoughts breathless, Aido thought fleetingly, but with Kaname anything could be possible. Akatsuki came briefly to his mind and Aido felt a twinge of guilt and then felt Kaname smile against his neck.

'Shall we invite him?' Kaname said in his mind, "Do you think he'd like seeing you like this?'

'No, we can't,' thought Aido, "something might break, and I don't want him to be hurt.'

'Ah, but he might enjoy –' Kaname began, but Aido interrupted him.

'Do with me what you want, Kanamesama, but leave him out and leave him alone. He is not part of this business, and I –' Here he stopped. Kaname knew what he had been about to say, however, and drew away. Blood still leaked out of Aido's neck and he put his hand there.

"Is Hanabusa-kohai finally reasserting his position?" Kaname said, and Aido recalled those many years ago when he had been playing and Kaname had come before him, stealing the attention, and he had reacted in anger. Much had changed since Aido had been that little ignorant boy, and Kaname was now his lord to whom he owed his respect and devotion, and whose bidding he had sworn to do. But why was Kaname behaving like this now? They had been together before, many years since, and Kaname knew his and Akatsuki's relationship. Yet now he seemed to be mocking that and degrading Aido.

Granted, Aido's opinion had changed after seeing Kaname kill Hio Shizuka. He had been afraid and then resentful, and then resigned. Because while Kaname had other reasons, he had done it at least in the main part for Yuuki. And Aido knew how important one's love could be and how much he would want to protect it. He had thought to come to an understanding of Kaname, so how could Kaname behave thus now?

"The Mad Blooming Princess? I consumed her for power not Yuuki," Kaname said.

But Aido knew that Kaname's power would not be used for selfish ends, and truly was for Yuuki. He had to believe that in order to still revere Kaname. Kaname backhanded Aido then, knocking him to the floor. He tore at Aido's collar and down through his sweater, cutting the flesh below with his fingernails and leaving long shallow gouges there. Tears sprang to Aido's eyes as Kaname pulled his shirt open and licked up the blood on his chest. Kaname spread Aido's legs and tore his belt loose, obliterating it into strips of leather and a twisted scrap of metal. Aido struggled as his buttoned trousers were torn open.

Before Kaname could do anything, the door flew open, having been kicked by Kain when he could not gain entry. Aido's head turned to Kain and he murmured, "No, no, please." As Kain crossed the room, Kaname lifted his head and said, "Leave us. I'm not finished with Hanabusakun yet."

"I can't do that," Kain said, "He's mine, and I don't share."

"You will with me," Kaname said, and lashed out, cutting Kain's face with his power.

"Oh ho," Kain said, "now I'm free to strike you and it's my turn."

He was at Kaname's side and drew back to punch him, connecting well with Kaname's face and knocking him off of Aido onto the ground.

"I didn't think you'd come," Aido said.

"Well, you're a dummy," Kain answered.

Kaname had recovered and now stood facing Kain.

"I won't spare that pretty face of yours Kain, even if your boyfriend is here to see. Do you leave him to me?"

"I won't allow you to use him further – so I'll risk my face, but I won't go easy on you either."

... ... ... ... Seme fighto! You get your uke, Kain! ... /fangirl moment ... ... ... ...

Kaname drew himself up and faced Kain and another gash appeared on Kain's cheek, but Kain had moved forward and he bowled Kaname over onto his back. Kain was atop Kaname at once, banging Kaname's head against the floor to stun him and eventually knock him out. But Kain was thrown back across the room and Kaname stood, dusty and a little blood seeping from his scalp where he had hit it on the wall as he fell. Kain was lying slumped against the wall. Kaname stood over him, straddling Kain's legs and his fingers went to Kain's throat.

"Shall I taste you too to see if your blood tastes the same as Aido's? His is impregnated with the flavour of his love for you."

Kain had recovered some and his eyes focussed on Kaname. Kaname stared back with the full force of his personality in the same way as he had done to daze and control Aido. But Kain glared resolutely back and was unmoved. Kaname's fingers tightened around Kain's neck and Kain's breath became laboured. Just as Kaname increased the pressure, a voice said, "Stay this madness! Please Kanamesama," and two hands pulled Kaname back. It was Seiren and she brought Kaname to a chair.

"We are already in enough trouble without killing one another," Seiren said. Ruuka was there too at Kain's side, holding him up as he gasped for breath. Being strong, he was quickly able to stand up and he took the fainting Aido in his arms and carried him out of the room. Seiren touched Kaname's head briefly and then went to the side table to prepare him a drink. Ruuka set about finishing the cleaning of Kaname's room to restore it as much as they could. Kaname took the proffered glass and drank it down, and sipped the second one more slowly when Seiren brought him another. Ruuka departed with a bow.

Back in their room, Kain held his hand over Aido's forehead to test his temperature. Aido was hot and swooning from the blood-loss and effects of Kaname's hypnosis. Kaname had devoured him mercilessly. Kain formed a fist and hit the running board of the bed.

"It's alright Akatsuki," Aido said, "It can't be helped."

"Hanabusa," Kain said, and kissed Aido. There was little force behind Aido's kiss and Kain bared his neck saying,

"Here, drink," and Aido was too weak to resist when Kain cut a small gash. So he drank and took some of Kain's strength, Aido slumped back onto the pillows of his bed when he had finished.

"He wasn't really going to torture me, Akatsuki," Aido said sluggishly, and then he drifted off to sleep. Kain made himself a blood cocktail and looked out of the window.

Seiren had left Kaname and he too looked out.

They both saw the same view, Kiryuu Ichiru stepping out of a car and looking back briefly to say or head something from the person in the car before he walked through the grounds toward the Sun Dormitory.

I'm sorry to those of you who were anticipating smut like my other stories. It will return in later parts, but it wasn't right for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it nevertheless and please return for the next parts to follow. (I hope to release them more quickly after this.)

Planned parts to come:

Part III – Zero and Ichiru
Part IV – Zero and Aido
Part V – Ichiru and Rido
Part VI - ?!

I'm going to interlace the parts to come with the plot from Chapters 31-35, and possibly compose other parts for the action following Chapter 36. Unfortunately for you Zero and Kaname shippers, I am now wholly devoted to the Kaname and Yuuki pairing, and can't imagine Kaname with Zero any longer, nor anyone else really. Gomene!

NB: Please, when composing reviews: Observe basic grammar and reread what you've just typed. Also, WRITING IN CAPS is shouting on the Internet. Emoticons are cute and I like them.
