Chapter 3: More Introductions and Confusion
Author's Notes: My strange little mind has come up with a wonderful KaZe story. What would have happened if Shizuka had never killed Zero's parents, turned him into a vampire, and taken Ichiru? What if Zero had never gone to Cross Academy but attended an all hunter school (Rose Academy) run by Toga? What if Kaname and Zero had never met? More of the story. Tehe ^^!
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 story is all from Zero's point of view. If you like it I might make one from Kaname's, just saying. 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!
"Takuma, stop!"
I cried out in pain as I was ripped out of the bed and slammed against the wall. Stars twinkled in my eyes and pain filled my head. A hand closed around my throat and I chocked for breath.
"Takuma, stop! You're hurting him! Let him go, now!"
I felt the hand relax a little and gasped for air. My head cleared and I saw a blonde vampire in front of me. He suddenly dropped me and I fell right onto my broken legs.
"Fuck!" Fuck ouch goddam, why drop the person with legs clearly in casts? Why?
"Zero, are you alright? Takuma you idiot! Zero I'm going to move you back to the bed, okay?"
Kaname gently picked me up and moved me back to the bed. The nausea came back and I groaned, clinging to Kaname.
"If he is hurt worse Takuma, I swear you'll get it. Zero can you hear me? What can I do?"
"Do not move. Stay here until the room stops spinning, please. Then pain stinking killer."
Kaname cradled me close and gently rubbed my back as I fought for control of my body.
"What the hell were you thinking Takuma?"
"He's a vampire hunter Kaname sama. You are holding a hunter. You were sleeping next to one. He was in your bed. How do you expect me to act? I did not realize he was hurt. I'm sorry."
"First off, next time you want to come in my room knock. Second, don't ever drag someone out of my bed, I don't care if they are a hunter or not. Third, don't ever touch him again."
"I'm sorry, but I did knock no one answered and we have to be at the meeting in an hour. I swear I won't hurt him again."
"I'm not going. He needs me to be here."
This stops now. God, hello can you see I'm here? "Kaname stop talking like I'm not here. Where do you need to go?"
"I'm sorry Zero. I have a council meeting tonight, but you need me more."
"Kaname sama, you can't miss this meeting."
I'll call Ichiru. If Kaname needs to go, he'll go. I refuse to interrupt his life anymore than it is. "Kaname I can get someone over here to take care of me. Go. I don't want to be an inconvenience. Just give me painkillers and my phone. I'll get my brother over here."
"No Zero, it is okay. I want to stay."
I sat up and stared at him for a minute.
"Idiot. Go to that meeting. I'm not going anywhere right now, that much is obvious."
"Kaname, Senri is downstairs. You know how much he hates the meetings. We could ask if he would stay and watch, um sorry, Zero, right?"
"Well that would be a convenience. Zero, by the way Takuma his name is Zero, would you be fine with that? You'll probably just watch the television; Senri's not much of a talker. I would trust him with you though; he is my cousin after all. "
"Fine, I don't mind as long as I'm not thrown against a wall again." Mental attack now. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Painkillers. Maybe that will work.
I saw Takuma pick up the bottle of painkillers and hand them to Kaname. He opened the bottle and got out the pill.
Finally, I wonder if I have to eat with this?
"Takuma, go to the kitchen and make something for Zero to eat. Something easy to eat one handed preferably. Get Senri as well."
"Sure. Bacon, egg, and cheese sandwich coming right up."
Takuma left and Kaname sighed.
"I'm sorry. I completely forgot that Takuma was picking me up for the meeting tonight. Are you okay?"
"Yeah I'm okay but I have a couple select words for you. Give me the freaking painkiller. Now."
Kaname placed the pill on my lips and gently pushed it in my mouth, fingertips brushing my lips.
"There. Happy? You know any other hunter would have cursed Takuma for doing what he did. But you didn't. You are different than any hunter I've met before. I like that."
"I hate hurting anything. I know I'm in the wrong business but it's a family tradition. Just because we hunt vampires doesn't mean we have to like it."
Kaname laughed, a rich, chocolately laugh and propped me up on pillows, covering me up gently.
He's different from any other vampire I've ever met. Then again I generally only meet vampires that are on the list but still…
"Your thinking reminds me of my headmaster. Maybe you know him. Kaien Cross? Headmaster of Cross Academy?"
"Cross is your headmaster? He's my godfather. So you are in his Night Class. I had the privilege of helping build your dorm one summer."
"Cross's godchild. I should have known. And I'm sure you had fun with the dorm."
"Oh yeah a whole summer of manual labor is exactly what every teen wishes for."
"It's exactly what every teen wants. Well in Cross's opinion anyway."
I laughed slightly and grimaced as my head throbbed in response. Smiling Kaname squeezed my hand and stood up.
"I really don't want to go to this but I have too. I'll be right back. I have to get ready."
I watched him walk to the bathroom, well stared really.
He's so nice and hot. Hold on, did I just think Kaname is hot? Where did that come from? I mean he is good looking for a guy but still it would never happen. We're from two different worlds.
Kaname came back a few minutes later clean in a pair of black pants and a blood red shirt.
"How long does it take to make a sandwich? They better not be having sex in the kitchen again, I mite have to ban them from the apartment if they do."
"What? Are they going out or something?"
"Hmmm? Oh yeah they've been going out for about six months now. They are perfect for each other, oh speak of the devils."
Takuma and a tired looking red haired boy walked in the room, Takuma carrying a tray full of sandwiches, grapes, juice, and coffee.
"Sorry, I could not find anything in your kitchen. Zero, this is Senri. Senri this is Zero. Not sure how he fits into the picture but we need you to stay here and make sure he is fine, Okay hon?"
Senri shrugged his approval and sat down on a chair.
"Hey Kaname. Where's the remote? Zero if you need anything ask. Have fun, I here they are discussing the upcoming party tonight."
Kaname groaned and took the tray from Takuma, placing it on my lap before grabbing a sandwich himself.
"Seriously let him know, Zero. I will be back as soon as I can."
Kaname leaned over and kissed my cheek gently before heading out the door. What the hell? Takuma kissed Senri and followed Kaname out the door leaving me confused as hell with a tired vampire for company.
