Learning Lies 3
Yuki watched Zero sleep in class after she got woken up by the teacher. She never knew why the teacher didn't say anything to Zero since he slept more than her. She would have to ask Zero. Yuki noticed a change in Zero after Kaname-sama came to visit them before the year started. The bell rang, signaling them to head to their next class, which stopped Yuki's thoughts of interrogating Zero. Yuki walked with Sayori and Zero followed behind them almost like a bodyguard.
Classes were long as usual and Zero headed off to see Lily. It had become a routine from him. Go to class to sleep, talk with Yuki and Sayori at lunch sometimes, finished the rest of his classes by thinking of new foods to make, visit Lily, escort the night class to class while glaring at Kuran the whole time. Boring, Zero was completely bored and the only time he wasn't was when he was trying to control himself from having fits.
What Zero needed was someone to talk to but till he got word from Shizuka he wasn't about to do anything. Not willingly at first.
Kaname sat at his desk going over documents and some information he had Aidou look up for him. Nothing was in his favor and if it was he didn't know about it. It was high time he asked Zero some questions. Kaname had waited long enough for Zero's aura to start showing itself again. Each night Zero would head off to the woods where he would just let his aura free. When Zero was too close to the dorm everyone could feel it as they just got back from class. Many didn't even know they reacted the same way they did to Kaname's aura as they did to Zero's.
They boy was an enigma to Kaname, one that Kaname wanted the pleasure in solving.
Takuma knocked on Kaname's door.
"Come in," Kaname said as his friend opened the door already knowing what the answer would be.
"It's almost time for class," Takuma said standing in Kaname's doorway.
"I don't think I will be going tonight Takuma. I have some unfinished business to attend to." Kaname said fluently, "You will lead in my stead?"
Takuma knew an order when he heard one, even if it was in the form of a question.
"Of course Kaname-sama," Takuma said quickly and bowed.
Kaname could never get his friend to drop the formalities when it was just the two of them. Although Takuma knew Kaname didn't like to be address with sama at the end of his name by friends, he couldn't change the way he was raised. Takuma took his leave after telling Kaname he would take notes incase Kaname wanted them.
Zero could smell all the vampires as they got closer to the gate, but he couldn't smell Kuran. Takuma came out the gates first and that's when the yelling and pushing began. Zero stood on his side glaring fully at anyone who even thought of the possibility of running for it. Yuki on the other head had trouble keeping her side in line.
"Straight lines, now!" Zero yelled. All the roars for the girls and the occasional boy stopped entirely. Zero hardly ever yelled at them, he spoke, growled and glared so when he yelled they listened. Takuma smiled Zero's way as they night class was able to pass by in peace. Aidou didn't rile them up like he normally did which was weird. Also some of the looks he got from Aidou were weird. It was like he knew something but wasn't sure what to make of it.
Zero was going to have to speak to Aidou he could just feel it.
Kaname put away his papers on his desk but not before one caught his attention. The paper held some information on Zero's bloodline. Kaname needed his new question to be answered as soon as possible. He could smell Zero as the boy patrolled around the school.
Now was better than any. Kaname leaped out his window and went in the direction he smelt Zero in.
Zero wandered through the trees. None of the girls tried coming out at this time anymore, not since Zero gave two girls he caught a very long detention slip the next morning. Those two girls ended up cleaning classrooms for two weeks straight. Zero smirked at the memory of their glares at him when they could no longer watch the night class go to class in person.
Zero quickly whirled around, gun in hand as he sensed the fast approach of a vampire.
"Kiryuu," Kaname said calmly, "May we have a word?"
Zero didn't like the way Kaname was looking at him. Kaname's eyes were sort of glazed over and had a feeling of longing to them. If this was anything about what Aidou was contemplating about then Zero knew it wasn't going to be a conversation he could just walk away from.
Zero nodded his head lightly, and began to walk towards a bench in the woods. Kaname followed Zero and sat down beside the boy.
"Is there a reason we need to talk Kuran," Zero bit out slowly.
"Yes, I had Aidou do some research on hunters and things the Council was questioning me about and your family name came up." Kaname said. Zero cringed as he figured what Kuran was asking about. It wasn't that well known anymore compared to how it used to be.
"What is it you want to know Kuran?" Zero asked in a bored tone.
"I just want to sort facts from false truths Kiryuu-kun." Zero sat up straight as Kaname added the kun to the end of his name. Zero groaned inwardly.
"What exactly is it about my family that you want to know about?" Zero asked. He needed to know what he had to try and cover.
"Don't think too much Kiryuu-kun, if you aren't honest with me I'll just have to ask someone else, like Cross." Zero turned to Kaname and openly glared, only this time Kaname knew the real Zero was holding back from sneering at him. Kaname smiled. Zero then crossed his arms over his chest and leaned into the bench. They sat there for a few moments unspeaking until Zero broke the silence.
"Ask away but it's not guaranteed that I'll answer."
"You have a strong hunter bloodline that allows you to live longer, yes?"
"Yeah, what of it?"
"So to assume that your bloodline traits are strong would be correct, yes?"
"Get to the point would you!" Zero wanted to shake Kaname for taking so long.
"Fine, Zero is it possible for males of your bloodline to give birth?" Kaname sat still as Zero sat up straight.
"Where'd the hell you get that information from?" Zero asked shocked that there was still information about that somewhere. "Shit!"
Kaname hoped that the knowledge he got was going to do more good than harm.
"Who else knows of this? This has to be dealt with and fast." Zero hissed out.
"Why?" Kaname asked.
"First, I don't need vampires after me trying to bite me. Second, I don't want the Council to know. And third, I don't want some guys to try and rape me for man babies." Zero put a hand through his silver locks, "My life just got shitter."
Kaname couldn't help but laugh. He couldn't stop the laughter, especially when Zero glared at him cutely and called him an ass for finding anything about Zero's newest problem funny.
"Ah no, I-I … man babies?" Kaname wheezed out.
"Oh!" Zero blushed, he couldn't help himself as Kaname continued to laugh in front of him. Zero wanted to smile. He had never heard Kaname laugh before it was deep rich laugh. Listening to Kaname laugh beside him made Zero feel better than he had in a long time.
"Kaname-sama!" Many of Kuran's random night class members shouted as they came rushing into the open area. Anger could be felt from all of them, except for Kuran selected group of close friends who had looks of shock. Their killing aura towards Zero magnified, they didn't need scum like Kiryuu close to Kuran. Zero glared at them all defiantly, telling them to do something. Kaname sobered up quickly and his aura was worst than all his followers combined.
Yuki pushed through the crowd and tilted her head towards Kaname and Zero, two who she'd never seen so close to each other before. Yuki gulped as she seen Kaname's glare. They interrupted something important. Zero got up to leave.
"Zero, please stay." Kaname said in a tone that left the choice to Zero. Zero slowly sat back down and motioned for Yuki to come join him. She cheerfully skipped over to her two most important people who for the moment were getting along nicely.
"I believe I asked the rest of you to follow Takuma to and from class." Kaname said in a low tone. They all bowed and said yes Kaname-sama before leaving. Just like zombies Zero thought.
"Aidou-sempai," Zero said before Hana could leave, "That matter is private and I don't want anyone to upset what Cross has going, understood?"
Aidou nodded and turned to catch up with the others. Hana knew that he would hold Zero in a high regard from then on. Zero was a Carrier Vampire2 and could be any level of purity his mate was.
"What was that about Zero?" Yuki asked.
"Something that Cross had Aidou search up for him." Zero smoothly replied.
"Oh, okay then, shall we head back?" Yuki asked not sure if she wanted to leave these two pretty boys to themselves.
"Ah, you go on ahead, I have something I need to say to your precious Kana-chan." Zero said mocking Yuki who turned scarlet and ran off.
"Kana-chan?" Kaname repeated. Zero blushed as Kaname said the name a second time.
"Kuran, I know that there's more than just my bloodline you want to talk to me about so next week during Christmas vacation we'll talk."
"Sure Zero-chan," Kaname said leaving Zero alone on the bench.
Zero had made a decision to let Kaname in on what he knows. Slowly on a need to know bases unless told otherwise. And now he was on a first name bases with Kaname Kuran, he figured. Zero was sure of one thing though he did not want to be called Zero-chan.
