~random notes(?): Kyaa~ thank you so much for the positive feedback! –gives y'all cookies- X3. I'm really, really glad that you guys liked it! :3. In this chapter, prepare yourselves for a dash of Kiryuucest (though mostly on Ichiru's part. XD) and for yet again misusing the seemingly innocent snack called pocky. XD. Really, I dunno when I've started associating pocky with…not-so-innocent stuff. XDD. Anyway, I hope you guys will like this chappie! Enjoy~! ;D

Chapter 2: Strawberry-flavored

"Why the hell is this happening to me?!" The silver-haired vampire was definitely not in a good mood. Well, he almost never was in the first place, but this week had started to take its toll on him.

For some unexplainable reason, Zero always seemed to end up crossing paths with Kuran Kaname. He wouldn't have minded it, really, if it were just the usual, cold and inevitable meetings they'd both have, seeing as they do attend the same school. But this was very much different. Out of the ordinary, even.

Those said meetings have suddenly turned quite…'colorful'. And by 'colorful' he meant that he somehow kept on finding himself in more than one embarrassing situation after another with the pureblood vampire. And to think that the first time (aka the 'sprawled-on-top-of-Kaname-in-front-of-everyone' scenario) was embarrassing and mortifying enough…

Now that he thought about it, the terms 'embarrassing' and 'mortifying' are a huge understatement compared to what he had to endure the entire week. A whole, fucking week…

By now, the said hunter had been thoroughly convinced that lady luck definitely wasn't on his side; in fact, it seems to him that whoever was responsible for 'pre-destination' has a wicked sense of humor. "What next?" He thought sarcastically, "Kuran making an appearance in my room?"

Zero froze at the implications of that thought. "You have got to be kidding me."

He did not just imagine that vampire inside of his room doing, well, things he would never even dare think about. "No friggin' way!! Over my dead body!!!"

In his musings, the prefect didn't realize that his pacing had brought him to the courtyard. He then settled himself underneath a tree and closed his eyes to clear his mind of the unpleasant thoughts he was having.

A few minutes later, he felt a familiar presence sit down beside him. Zero opened his eyes and found himself staring into the depths of a pair of silver-amethyst eyes identical to his. For a long second, he continued to stare at his twin; seemingly mesmerized by the fact that he was looking at his own living, breathing mirror image.

He was snapped out of his daze when he felt Ichiru poke a finger on his forehead. "Will you please stop staring at me? It seemed to me as if you had just seen a ghost or something."

"Sorry. I was just thinking…"

"About what?" The younger of the two inquired.

"Please don't ask what."

Ichiru frowned at his brother's words. Well, he wasn't annoyed for not telling him; he already knew what Zero was thinking, after all. What he was annoyed about was the fact that it was Kuran Kaname—of all people—preoccupying his brother's thoughts. Yes, he is jealous; all because Zero was giving a certain pureblood too much credit just by thinking about him.

Determined to rid his twin of all thoughts concerning the brunette vampire, he reached into his coat pocket and took out an item which will surely snap Zero out of his reverie.

True enough, the prefect seemed to perk up as he heard the familiar sound of his favorite snack's packaging scraping against fabric. "You brought pocky?"

Ichiru couldn't help but grin at the look on his twin's face. "Yep. And Strawberry-flavored at that."

Zero's attention was now entirely on Ichiru. Unbeknownst to everyone (excluding Ichiru), strawberry-flavored pocky is a snack that he would definitely kill for. Heck, he didn't care how out of character it may seem (in other words, 'girly') or even if the entire world may hate him, as long as he could get his hands on some.

The younger twin hid a smirk as he saw the overly-eager look on his brother's eyes. "This is going to be so much fun…"

That night, instead of attending class, the pureblood Kaname wandered aimlessly around campus, trying to clear his mind of certain events. Obviously, these so-called 'certain events' are ones involving a silver-haired prefect and…the interesting…circumstances they seemed to end up in this past week.

Unlike Zero, he didn't find it that…unpleasant. He himself was surprised that he actually liked seeing the prefect flush right before his very eyes. In fact, it seemed to have made him realize about possibilities he would have never thought of before…

He then shook his head. "Something is seriously wrong with me…"

"Nnh…Ichiru! S-stop teasing me…"

The brunette tensed as he recognized that familiar voice. After five years of knowing Zero, he could easily recognize his voice anywhere. But this time, his voice sounded so…different. It's as if he was moaning. Moaning and pleading. Kaname felt his cheeks burn as his mind was suddenly filled with a hundred different images of what could have made the silver-haired vampire sound like that—most of which were highly inappropriate.

And so—whilst carefully masking his presence—the dark-haired vampire decided to take a look to sate curiosity for its own sake.

Then he wished he hadn't.

"No, Zero." Ichiru's smirk widened. "You have to play by my rules."

"F-fine." Zero pouted. Ichiru seems to be enjoying this too much…

The prefect lowered himself in front of his twin on all fours; all the while trying to grab the delicious stick of pocky which the other held in his hand. He was, however, unsuccessful since his twin would move his hand away every time he tried to claim it. "If he's gonna be like this, then I'll just…"

Ichiru's eyes widened as Zero stopped his efforts in trying to pry it away from his hands. Instead, the older Kiryuu twin parted his lips and trailed his tongue along the sides of the pocky stick. He felt his throat go dry as he watched Zero sensually lick the strawberry coating off the said snack before slowly biting down on it.

The silver-haired prefect was practically the picture of seduction as he did so. And the position he was in wasn't helping at all—his lean form down on all fours; his pale hair and skin flushed slightly beneath the moonlight; and his beautiful face in an expression of submission. The sight was so erotic to behold that Ichiru found it…ehem…hard to control himself. (And of course, a certain brunette was also feeling the same from where he was hiding…)

The 'torture' seemed to last far longer than expected, since Zero was insistent on eating all of it in the same fashion. Ichiru almost let out a sigh of relief after his brother had finished the last stick—but that relief he felt had lasted only for a second. As soon as the prefect finished, he proceeded to licking—very slowly, mind you—his twin's fingers one by one; tasting, relishing, and lapping up the sweetness that remained there.

"Oh, god…You have absolutely no idea what you do to me, Zero…" Ichiru bit his lip as he tried to suppress the moan threatening to escape his throat. A blush was now adorning his cheeks as he found himself thinking about…certain stuff…involving his brother. His blush deepened as said twin looked up at him with an expression akin to innocent confusion which made him feel dirtier for thinking such thoughts.

"I-I'll be heading back to the dorms now..." Ichiru then got up from the ground and brushed off his clothes. He hurriedly turned his back to his brother, towards the direction of the Sun Dorms. I hope he didn't notice that…

The younger of the two almost froze as he felt Zero tug at the hem of his pants. Did he…?

"Won't you stay a bit longer?" Zero asked, tilting his head to the side; looking very much vulnerable.

"N-no. I just remembered that I have to do something."

Ichiru relaxed as he felt the older twin let go of him. "Okay, then…Goodnight, Ichiru."

Without a second glance, he continued on his way, glad that Zero didn't sense anything…unusual.

Kaname went on his way back to his rooms, very much…disturbed…by what he felt as he saw Zero being far too tempting for his own good. He let out a sigh as he continued on walking down the path leading to the Moon Dormitory; intent on taking care of his little problem before the other vampires return from their classes.

Unknown to the three young men, an evil pureblood princess had been watching from afar. "Now that was very interesting…"

Very much amused by this turn of events, Yuuki happily went back to her prefect duties; all the while thinking of various ways to exploit this certain development.

[ Omake: "Two Heads are Better than One" ]

Yuuki was right in the middle of doing her homework when Sayori and Takuma entered their 'hideout'.

Sayori settled herself right beside Yuuki, while Takuma sat at the chair across Yuuki.

Upon seeing that the vampire princess was in an exasperated mood, the good-natured noble spoke up; seemingly intent on helping her. "Yuuki-sama, they say that two heads are better than one."

Almost in perfect unison, both girls sitting across him looked up and stared at each other; repeating his words, "Two heads…are better than…one…"

"K-Kaname…Ichi-ru…m-move…" Zero moaned as he pushed his hips downward; impaling himself even deeper.

Both his twin and the pureblood let out a moan. The prefect's action had caused the two of them to rub against each other inside of the former's tight entrance. Unable to resist any longer, they started to rock their hips upwards; first in a slow pace, then eventually going faster as Zero began to thrust his own hips downwards—in unison to their motions.

Minutes passed, and their thrusts became harder, more desperate; their climaxes now nearing. It was Zero who came first with a loud cry; causing his walls to clamp down firmly at the two inside of him…

"You're right, Ichijou-sempai." Yuuki and Sayori said; an evil aura surrounded them despite of the angelic smiles they wore. "Two heads are indeed better than one…"

~end of chapter

This is where it ends…for this chapter, of course. ;P. Hope you guys like it! XD. And, oh, the omake is...well, it somehow ended up there. XDD. I'll probably be writing a –coughs-threesome-coughs- for the fifth and last chapter…that is, if you guys want me to? XD

I seriously need to start writing the next chapter for my other VK story…it's been idle for almost a month now...XDD. My Muse has been very uncooperative; acting all tsundere whenever I decide to write something serious. XDD

BTW, this story is set after Vampire Knight Guilty, not the manga. I'm sorry if there are some who found it confusing. –my brain isn't always working properly- XD

Again, thank you for the reviews! And if it's not too bothersome, please tell me what you think! X3. I love hearing from you guys~! X3
