Chapter 2: Introductions
Author's Notes: I am soooooo sorry it took so log to post the second chapter. My computer broke and by the time I got it fixed it was time for senior checkout stuff. Now I'm working 60 hours a week so I will attempt to put some more up.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight. My mind is not that of Matsuri Hino. The characters and all their attitudes belong to her. (Although I do wish I could claim them, I can't)
Additional Comments/ Rating: This will turn into an M rated story. That is just how it's going to be. I'm not sorry. It's Yaoi soooo… GO AWAY IF THIS OFFENDS YOU. There that should suffice. On with the story!
I woke up God knows how long later. I hurt all over. I groaned and opened my eyes to find I was in a dimly lit room not in the alley I fell in. Where was that brown haired teen I had seen last night? And where was I for that matter. I attempted to sit up and cried out as my body objected painfully. I fell back on the soft pillows and stared at the ceiling, flames from candles causing lights to flicker on it sinisterly. I heard the door open a few minutes later and turned my head to the right to see the brown haired teen from last night looking very tired walk in. he shut the door and turned towards me before smiling wearily at me.
"I'm glad to see you awake. Please don't move right now, you are very injured," he said walking to a chair by my head. He sat down and I stared at him for a few seconds before understanding dawned on me.
"You're a pureblood," I stated frankly and he chuckled.
"Yes I am. Yet you are still alive aren't you hunter. Are you surprised," he responded leaning his head on one of his hands. I shook my head attempting to clear it only to groan in pain.
"I guess I'm not but what happened? And who are you for that matter?"
"Hmm introductions already? I am Kuran Kaname of the Kuran Clan. You do not need to tell me who you are Kiryuu Zero, I found your wallet in your pocket last night. The vampire you killed was only one of two. Its mate attacked you. She was a clever one. She snuck up on me as well. She pushed you off the rooftop and jumped after you to avoid my attack. I am sorry but I am to blame for your injuries. I killed the female Level D and immediately brought you to my apartment, it was closer than the hospital. My personal physician took care of your injuries. He told me you are not to leave for a few days so you are stuck with me."
"Wait I have school and a report to do today. I have to go!" I attempted to sit up again but fell back as a waive of nausea overcame me. "Why am I so weak? What injuries did I get?"
"You cracked your skull in a few places, broke a few ribs, your left arm, and your legs. The female landed on you. You're also pretty bruised up, especially along the spine. There was some internal bleeding but we managed to stop that. The Doctor said that nausea is completely normal after this kind of trauma to a vampire hunter, a human probably would not have survived." I groaned and rubbed my eyes, a stress reliever for me.
"Okay so I'm on bed rest for a couple of days then. What time is it? " He glanced at his watch and yawned.
"It's 8:00 a.m. I'm tired but do you need anything before I turn in? I have some painkillers for you if you need them. Or are you hungry?" My stomach growled and he laughed. "Okay definitely food. Would you like some painkillers to help you sleep as well? I won't eat you if you are afraid of that."
"I'm not afraid that you would eat me. Why would you go through all that trouble to save me only to bite me. I would like something to eat and a painkiller might help the throbbing in my head. Thank you for saving me by the way." Kaname patted my hand and smiled.
"Actually I should be thanking you. The female was attacking me but turned on you when you killed her mate. It was the least I could do. Would you like some porridge? It might be the easiest thing for you to eat right now."
"Umm sure porridge would be great Kaname. Are you actually going to make it or do you have a cook."
"I can make some things by myself and porridge is one of those. I am a pureblood remember? But I sent my staff on a few days vacation when you got here so they wouldn't fuss over me sharing a room with a hunter."
"Wait sharing a room?"
"Don't worry I'll take the sofa. Doctor said not to leave you alone for too long. I hope you don't mind."
"Well I couldn't do much about it even if I did now could I?" Kaname chuckled and went to make the porridge. He came back with enough breakfast for the two of us and my cell phone. "I figured you needed the rest so I kept it in the kitchen but you may need to make some calls. But before you do that we need to get you sitting up." He sat down the tray and turned towards me.
"I can eat laying down. Every time I try to sit up I feel like throwing up."
"Oh no. Come on I'll be gentle. You need to sit up. I don't want you to choke."
"Fine." He placed a hand under my armpits and gently brought me to a sitting position. My head swam and I leaned into Kaname's chest fighting the urge to hurl.
"Zero, are you okay?" I took a deep breath in and out trying to steady my stomach.
"Urgh. Just stay like this for a second please. I'll be okay in a second." I feel awful. Just shoot me now and get it over with.
Kaname started rubbing my back and whispered, "You'll be okay. Just let this pass." I stayed where I was and eventually the nausea passed. "Better?"
"Yeah thanks." Kaname handed me the cell phone and I flipped it open. I dialed my mom's cell phone and waited for it to ring.
"Kiryuu here."
"Mom, it's Zero. I won't be home for a couple of days. A Level D pushed me off the roof last night."
"Are you okay? Where are you?"
"I'm alive. Got a couple of broken bones and a crack in my skull but I'll live. I'm safe don't worry about me. I'll be home in a few days, the Doctor told me to stay still for a while."
"Who found you? Are you safe with them?"
"I'll be safe with them. Kuran Kaname found me. He was tracking the same D's as I was. He is looking after me. Mom I need to go. I am tired and need to go back to sleep. Don't worry about me; I'll keep you informed okay? I need you to call Toga and tell him I'll probably be out the rest of the week. Tell him I'll get those reports filed and send out the newbies when I get back."
"Okay Zero. Tell that pureblood we'll be out for him if he hurts you. And don't worry about Yagari; he's a puppy. Be safe. I love you."
"Love you too Mom. Bye."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone and sighed. "You heard her didn't you."
"Yes but I'm used to it. It's okay. Would you like to eat now?"
"Sure." Kaname placed a tray on my lap and handed me a spoon. I looked at it and looked back up at him.
"I didn't poison it. Here I'll show you." He grabbed his spoon and took a bite of the porridge in my bowl.
"No, it's not that. I'm left handed and that hands currently in a cast." I can't even eat food by myself. I'm useless.
"Okay well I'll help you. Here." He gently took my spoon and placed some porridge on it. He put it to my lips and I took a bite.
"Holy crap! Pureblood can cook!" It's actually really good. Really, really good.
"Thanks, I try." Kaname continued feeding me and gave me some pain medication before he quickly at himself.
"You know you eat properly even when you are hurrying. It's kinda funny."
"It is not," Kaname retorted casting me an evil look.
I yawned and felt my eyes grow heavy with sleep. Kaname got up and helped me lay down.
"Nauseas again," Kaname asked when I rested my face in his chest.
"No just cold. Sorry," I said and shivered sending pain through my body. I clenched my teeth and groaned.
"Zero, are you alright? What happened," Kaname asked worriedly.
"Yeah I just need to not shiver again. It hurt."
"I can keep you warm if you want. I need to sleep as well," Kaname said and laid down beside me. He wrapped an arm gently over me.
I felt his warmth cover me and sighed. "Thanks."
"No problem. Now lets get some sleep. I'll try to not wake you up later. Night."
"Night." He is so sweet. Man I'm so tired. I really need to thank him la…"
