Zero slumped against the tree in the courtyard, waiting for Yuuki to come out, and watching Kaname from a distance. Kaname had not acknowledged his presence when he had entered the courtyard, and he continued to ignore Zero now. Zero had been on his way to class late and heard Kain tell Aido to retrieve Yuuki from class and bring her outside. He exited the building when Aido was opening the door to the classroom and had been standing in his position at the corner of the courtyard for a few minutes before Yuuki came outside, led by Aido.

"Now don't be rude to Kanamesama," Aido said, and pointed her to where Kaname sat in the grass waiting. Yuuki approached and when she was seated at his side, Kaname turned and looked directly at Zero, and Zero knew that Kaname had been acutely aware of Zero's presence as Zero had been his.

"Kiryuukun, you look pretty bored. Can you hear it? The students from the Day Class probably know how to get to this place. Why don't you stop them before it becomes troublesome?

"Thanks for your help."

Yuuki looked at Kaname and said, "Kanamesempai's attitude has changed lately."

"No –" Kaname said, but Zero did not hear him finish because he had turned and run from the courtyard at Kaname's words. How could he be so cold? Zero was crushed. He knew that Kaname had hated him because he knew Zero was a rival for Yuuki's affection. But he thought that they had reached an understanding when he became Yuuki's protector. And Kaname had shared his blood with Zero, something completely unheard-of. Zero had thought then that they had connected, no matter how twisted it was. Kaname had once rebuffed him when he became Yuuki's lover, but had not been so cruel and dismissive. There seemed to be none of the closeness he had experienced what now seemed so long ago. Now Kaname had utterly and completely rejected him, treating him as if he were nothing but a guard-dog being bidden to do his duty. Zero rushed onward blindly with his head down.

Abruptly Zero collided with something soft that let out an 'oof' and pushed him back.

"Oii, Kiryuu, watch where you're running," Aido Hanabusa said, a vein-pop appearing on his forehead and his hair disturbed.

"Gome-" Zero muttered, moving to pass Aido in the hallway, but strong fingers held him still, and a hand reached out to lift his chin.

"Let me g-" Zero said, pulling his head away.

"What happened to you?" Aido asked, "You never apologise to me, and you've got a terribly frightening expression."

"Release me, Aido Hanabusa," Zero said, fire blazing in his eyes as he drew his 'bloody rose' gun.

"You're not going to get me with that again," Aido said, twisting Zero's wrist quickly and causing him to drop the gun. Zero had thumbed the safety off, but hadn't cocked the piston so the gun didn't go off. It was well made and maintained fastidiously by Zero.

Zero wanted to retrieve the gun because it would work on Aido, although it had been useless to threaten Ichiru with. But his wrists were held securely in Aido's surprisingly strong grip. Zero wondered what Aido's hands would feel like on his body.

"Is there something on my neck?" Aido asked, and Zero realised he'd been staring. "But anyway Kuryuukun, you haven't answered my question: Why are you rushing blindly through the halls?"

One word came to Zero's mind immediately and with great force. Aido voiced it.

"Kaname? Er – Kanamesama – Why are you thinking about him?"

Zero was lost for words, dumbstruck that Aido could read his mind as well. He hadn't known that this was an ability any vampire of aristocrat or higher standing possessed. Things could become quite dangerous for him quickly.

"I know what you're thinking, Kiryuu, and not because I read your mind. Kaname is the only one of us who can consciously choose to do so and read someone's mind without consent. But you were rather forceful in your thought, and I happened to pick it up. I sort of got a shock from it too," Aido said, loosening his grip and looking at his hands, but still holding Zero securely.

"Well?" Aido said, his blue eyes fixed on Zero.

"Who is Kanamesama to you?" (Remember that from way back when?)

"He is nothing to me," Zero said unconvincingly.

"Shall I freeze you in my ice and put you in the corner of my and Akatsuki's room until you talk?" [He'll be talking lots when he sees your sweet lovin'! Ahem, sorry, ruining the mood.

"You-" Zero said as ice began to creep along his arms.

Just then, Kain appeared – likely, thought Zero, because they always seemed to be together.

"What are you doing to –", and he spotted Zero, "Zero?!"

"Just having a little fun," Aido said.

"Well, fine, but if Sieren-sempai catches you, or worse, Ruuka-chan, and reports it to Kanamesama, we'll both be punished. Bring him quickly and let's go." Kain scoped ahead while Aido followed behind, carrying Zero easily. Zero's entire body was frozen now, leaving only his head exposed, but Zero didn't cry out because he knew Yuuki was occupied elsewhere. He couldn't risk anyone in the Day Class seeing him like this, and no one in the Night Class would help him if they heard instead. Zero was just glad that Aido and Kain didn't seem interested in making him a spectacle for the Night Class' sport. It would be a fine situation if the last surviving member of the Kiryuu family ended up trapped thus. (Ichiru had disowned the family name when he came under the service of Hio Shizuka.)

"Hanabusa, we can't bring him all the way back to the Moon Dorm, and besides, everyone not conscripted to serve Kanamesama is there asleep."

"Ehh, you're right. I guess we'll have to find an unused classroom and have our fun there. It won't be as great but the game will be up altogether if we get caught."

"Come quickly then," Kain said.

"Oi, Aido, Kain, why don't you guys let me go? This isn't funny, and if you don't release me now, my revenge is going to be that much worse." Zero glared up at Aido from his position under Aido's arm and Kain looked back over his shoulder.

"Listen, Akatsuki, Kiryuu is threatening us." Aido chuckled and patted Zero on the head, and Kain looked bored. Soon they came upon a classroom that was dark and Kain held the door as Aido brought the bulky Zerocicle in, and set him up in front of the classroom.

"What are we going to do to him," Kain said, "paint his face and pull his trousers down then put him out in the quad?"

"You have no imagination, and such small aspirations sometimes, cousin," Aido said, "I, for starters, want to see what his blood tastes like."

"You wouldn't dare!" Zero said, and Kain really did look surprised.

"What if someone smells the blood?" Kain said, stepping toward Aido.

"The ones who aren't sleeping are so tired and fed up that they won't even notice. Kanamesama will smell it, but I doubt he'll do anything since he's enraptured with Kurosu now."

"I don't know Hanabusa," Kain said.

"Well, you don't have to taste any if you don't want," Aido said, pouting.

Aido stepped around Kain and Kain did not move to stop him. Zero struggled in the ice, but all he could do was grimace at Aido and stretch out his neck.

"That's right, Kiryuu, get the blood pumping hard for me. It'll taste better that way."

"You –" Zero said, gritting his teeth.

"You may even enjoy it, Kiryuu, so you shouldn't fight it."

Aido was at Zero's neck then, leaning in and stretching his mouth wide. His fangs glittered in the light from the window and they pressed gently against Zero's skin. Aido inhaled the scent of Zero's anger, mixed with a little fear, and a hint of – He could not determine. It may have been regret.

"Do you think you'll like it, Zerokun," Aido said, running his fangs along Zero's neck. "It's an honour to have your blood drank by an aristocrat, or didn't you know?" But he didn't wait to hear Zero's reply and sunk his fangs in and then the blood began to flow. Aido swallowed and then his face changed completely from sarcastic to unbelieving to horror-struck.

"You're," Aido exclaimed, "a vampire?!"

Kain looked up, his face registering shock and then anger, "What, no?!"

"I suspected something when I smelled Yuuki's blood all that time ago, but Kanamesama told us to ignore it and gave no explanation. I knew it was Yuuki's because I've tasted it, but I couldn't figure out what vampire had bitten her. I thought it was that new Night Class student who Kanamesama ejected, but it was you all along.

"Well, they certainly let a wolf among the sheep," Aido continued.

"What were they thinking?" Kain said.

Zero's face was a mask of rage. They had violated him and now his secret was revealed. They would tell the Night Class or simply go to Kaname and insist on his expulsion, and then where would Zero be? He hadn't any family to return to, and he couldn't leave Yuuki… But then again, perhaps this was a sign that he wasn't needed anymore. Kaname had abandoned him completely and Yuuki didn't seem to need him anymore. Perhaps it was time for him to leave Cross Academy and disappear.

Zero hung his head, but then thoughts of Yuuki troubled him. He couldn't leave her. He loved her and had sworn to protect her. After all, she wasn't only in danger from outside sources, but also in great peril at the Academy. Working in it as guardian, she was constantly at risk of having her blood drank by the Night Class, and Aido among them. Kaname clearly wasn't enough to keep them in check, although they may have been doing exactly what he wanted because after all, they were his right-hand men. How could Zero leave Yuuki among such wild beasts? He wouldn't. Zero looked up.

Aido still faced him, now only registering shock and a mild horror at him. Kain looked extremely worried, although Zero could not imagine why. Aido absently licked his lips as he looked closely at Zero with blood-red eyes. Zero glared back, somewhat light-headed from the experience of having his blood drank by Aido, but not going to reveal it in any way. Kain looked at Aido whose stare had not broken from Zero since he licked his lips.

"Oi, Hanabusa, we should release him and go," he said.

But a current of understanding and revelation passed between Aido and Zero and Aido took a step forward. The ice around Zero dissolved and Kain said, "Thank you," and moved to leave. Zero stood unmoving now, even though he had the opportunity to flee. Aido moved closer and Zero blushed.

"Oooiii," Kain said, waving his hands before Zero and Aido, "What are you two doing? Hanabusa, let's go!"

"No," Aido said, "not now," and then to Zero, "You love Kanamesama; I tasted it."

"EHH?!" Kain said, "Zero likes boys? Well, it seems to be just about everyone here." He ran a hand through his hair.

"I blame Kaname," he said [

"What does it have to do with us?" Kain asked.

"We can't just let him go now!" Aido said, a vein-pop appearing on his head, "How often do chances like this present themselves? Come on Akatsuki, I know you'd enjoy it too."

Kain blushed and looked down.

"That's… I… I've never done anything but with you," he said, "and I might not even like boys. I've thought to like girls all this time, and I don't see why I should change that. Girls are soft and they give you presents…"

"Akatsuki," Aido said, raising his first where another vein-pop appeared, "do you want to die?"

"Sorry, I don't mean that I'm unhappy with you – on the contrary – but I just don't know how I'd feel about Kiryuu. I think I'd prefer a girl. She'd be less likely to bite."

"Well," Aido said, with a devilish grin on his face, "you can stick it somewhere that doesn't bite."

The spell of their locked gaze was broken, and Zero turned to flee the classroom before Aido could catch him (and Kain too if he decided that Aido's idea was a good one). Zero wanted to retain his virginity there, and certainly never imagined himself as the bottom. But he was not quick enough (these aristocrats were fast) and Aido blocked the door.

"Akatsuki," Aido said sharply, and Kain turned.

"I never said I wanted to be a part of this," Kain said.

Aido growled and then pounced on Zero, knocking him on his back with Aido on his chest. Aido hiked up Zero's shirt and pinched his nipples, causing Zero to yip in pain. Aido was at Zero's waist, undoing his belt and opening his trousers.

'This is hot,' thought Kain, watching Aido strip Zero, 'I think I might enjoy this more than doing Zero myself.'

Despite his wishes, Zero could not stop himself from becoming erect and he tented his pants as Aido unzipped his trousers. Aido ran his hand along the length through the fabric, wanking it a little and making Zero moan at the sensations the friction was causing. Aido was hard too, and he ground his pelvis against Zero's. Kain adjusted himself as he watched.

"You like this, ne, Zerokun?"

"I wish I didn't, Aido," Zero said.

"Don't be so cold, Zerokun, or I won't do this," and Aido ran his fingernails gently along the fabric over Zero's cock. Zero hissed.

'Wow, he's kinky,' thought Kain, 'He's not normally like that with me. It's getting me more aroused.'

Aido licked his fingers and rubbed Zero's nipples, eliciting a long low moan that moved from Zero's spine to his toes. Aido continued to tease Zero's chest, while with the other hand he pulled Zero's trousers of. Zero had his eyes closed and was licking his lips as he gently thrust against the air. Zero's pants followed shortly after and his cock sprang free. Aido spread Zero's legs apart and massaged his thighs, and Zero moaned again. Aido quickly unfastened his belt and the front of his trousers. With a slight lift and thrust, Aido had penetrated Zero and was inside of him.

'Damn, he moves quickly,' Kain thought.

Zero's eyes were open now and locked onto Aido's. They were blood red, as were Aido's. Aido bent forward and they kissed, tongues fighting. When Aido pulled back from the kiss, Zero caught Aido's bottom lip between his teeth and Aido grinned. But Zero bit down, causing Aido's lip to bleed. Zero sucked the blood into his mouth and swallowed, licking Aido's lip for the rest. [Ok so there is pervy blood drinking again.

"You little -," Aido said, and thrust a few more inches into Zero, "I'll show you for biting me."

Zero laughed and Aido thrust forward again. Kain was impressed with his uke. He was showing real seme talent. A vein-pop appeared on Hanabusa's forehead when Zero continued laughing because Hanabusa's lip was still bleeding.

"I'll – teach – you – to –" Aido said, punctuating each word with a thrust, but meanwhile, a drop of blood fell with every thrust onto Zero's chest or mouth. But Aido soon lost his regular rhythm and in his ragged thrusts, started hitting a spot inside of Zero that was driving him headlong toward the edge. Zero started thrusting back onto Aido and Aido gripped Zero's thighs tightly as he continued to thrust. A sweat-droplet appeared on Kain's cheek and he more significantly repositioned his engorged and throbbing member. Aido would have some work to do yet after he satisfied himself and Zero.

Aido's breaths came in 'haas' and 'ahh' while Zero panted with lust, and they continued in ragged rhythm nearer and nearer to climax. A sheen of sweat covered Zero's body and Aido's face. Aido was flushed and surely hot, as he had never fully undressed. Somehow his tie had been removed and Aido's shirt opened a few buttons. As Aido's body shifted, Kain saw Hanabusa's tie in Zero's hand, clutched tightly as he writhed and thrust back against Hanabusa.

Zero began shaking and bit his lip as his legs opened wider and his hand traced loosely over his belly up to his nipples. Aido sensed the change too and increased his pace. Zero hadn't even been touching himself. He must have loved being a bottom then, and Kain wondered briefly how Zero felt to Hanabusa. But he had no real attraction to anyone but Hanabusa, and wouldn't have the opportunity regardless because Aido was very jealous and possessive. Akatsuki liked that, and he thought that it made Hanabusa even more adorable. He was the opposite. The many girls who hit on Hanabusa did not bother him at all because he knew where Hanabusa's true love lay. He wondered briefly if he should be jealous of Zero, but the scene before him was so hot and he knew that Hanabusa was just having fun, somewhat at Zero's expense, but heaven-knows, the boy sure seemed to be enjoying it! Zero lost control then, releasing spurt after spurt, the first hitting his face; and then those that followed had lesser strength and landed on his chest.

Aido, at the increased pressure and spasming caused by Zero's orgasm, began coming and cried out a long "Zero-o-kun" was he shot into Zero just as Zero war nearing the end of his orgasm. Aido was breathing heavily after his orgasm, and lay on the cool tile floor beside Zero after pulling his trousers back up. Kain went over, bent, and picked Aido up, cradling him in his arms.

"Sorry to run Kiryuukohai, but I'm at my limit after seeing you two and I need to take Hanabusa in our room. I prefer to take off his clothes and take my time, and I couldn't do it here. If you'll excuse me…"

Zero nodded, still breathing heavily and savouring the afterglow. Kain peered out of the door before departing with his Aido-bundle, taking care so that Zero could recover himself without being discovered. Kain didn't mind being seen carrying Aido, as it was no strange thing to the Night Class and he didn't care if the Day Class saw. He was sure that the Day Class girls' affection would be undiminished no matter what they saw of Aido, and imagined that they might even construct ecchi fantasies involving Kain and Aido together.

Kain moved quickly toward the Moon Dorm with Aido in his arms as was just beginning to stir. He put his arms around Kain's neck and nuzzled close, inhaling Kain's scent at his neck once they were inside the Moon Dormitory grounds. When they reached their room, Kain tossed Aido onto the bed and began removing his clothes. There was a faint knock on the door and Kain found Ichijo there when he opened it.

"Takumasan," he said, surprised, "What can I do for you?"

"Ano…" Ichijo said and his eyes wandered to the bulge in Kain's trousers.

End Part IV

[Waahahaha… I bet you thought you were going to get Ichijo and Kain paired! Maybe I'll do that eventually, but I'd have to think of a situation that would warrant it.

Seriously guys, please when composing reviews: Observe basic grammar and reread what you've just typed. Also, WRITING IN CAPS is shouting on the Internet, and it's very rarely appropriate. Emoticons are just fine, and I like them.

Planned parts to come:

Part V – Ichiru and Rido (It's probably going to be as screwed-up as Part I.)
Part VI - ?!

I'd like to write something with Shiki and Ichijo, but I can't imagine a situation pairing them. I could write some really twisted fiction pairing Ichijo and Rido, but that would be horrible.

Do let me know if you have any other ideas for male/male pairings from VK. Otherwise, I'm going to return to Tsubasa after Part V.
