~random notes(?): Nyaa~ thank you so much for the wonderful, wonderful reviews! X3 They always make my day and inspire me to continue writing~:D And oh, right after this, there's a note below about my note on the previous chapter. XD You may skip it, if you want, 'cuz it's something purely random and isn't related to the story whatsoever. XD;;
~a REALLY random note(! XD): The weird logic behind the UKE BEAM-thingy: As you guys might have already known, I write for both the VK and KHR fandoms. There was this thing in the KHR fandom wherein they always associate Tsuna with having "moe rays". I thought "Why couldn't Zero have the same, too?" but then it hit me that it wouldn't suit Zero that much, that's why I settled with him having an "uke beam" instead. LOL. XDDD
Chapter 4: Lace and Ribbons
Zero lay quietly on his bed; his silver locks splayed in a fan-like manner and his beautiful silver-amethyst eyes clouded by sheer contemplation. For four days he had been like this; four days he had kept on pondering to himself about the recent events that had happened. He had noticed for some time now that Kaname and Ichiru had been acting weirdly around him lately, but what happened that Saturday…
The silver-haired prefect let out a low groan as he buried his face into his pillow. Embarrassment made itself known in the form of the deep blush he was now sporting as he remembered that again. Oh, god, what was wrong with him? He should feel disgusted by it, but here he was, blushing like some…some Day Class fangirl!
"Great. I have now become like those annoying girls, fawning all over the Night Class!" Another groan made its way past his lips at the thought. He was now reduced to one of the things he loathed the most in the world.
After giving much thought on the matter, even though he didn't want to, he reluctantly admitted to himself that maybe—just maybe—he might actually like those two the same way they were clearly showing towards him. But it still remains as that—a huge, capitalized and bold-faced MAYBE.
Just then, he heard a soft knock on his door along with the familiar voice of his adoptive sister calling out his name. "Zero? Do you have a moment to spare?"
Gingerly, the silver-haired vampire hoisted himself from the bed and fussed with his locks in an attempt to make himself look presentable. As he approached the door, though, he could feel that something is terribly wrong. But he just chose to ignore the nagging feeling he has and opened it to reveal a very happy-looking Yuuki; her eyes gleaming with something which comes across as sinister.
Zero just gulped. There is definitely something wrong...
"Really?" Said a Day Class girl; surprise and bewilderment present on her voice.
"Yes." Said another, "I couldn't believe it myself either…"
"Ah, look! So it is true!" A third one squealed.
Zero can feel his eyebrow twitch as he heard the "inaudible" whispers of the students and their gazes directed towards him. Really, now, just WHAT has he gotten himself into?!
"Kiryuu-kun…" A young man with black locks looked at him inquiringly. "Erm, are you all right..?"
"Ah, y-yes, I'm fine…" The prefect said as he was snapped back from his daze. "If that is all, I'll be going now…"
"And oh, Kiryuu-kun? Don't worry about it; it looks good on you!" Another boy said as he watched the silver-haired prefect leave; making the latter blush. Afterwards, a series of appreciative sighs and glances were heard (from girls and guys alike, but MOSTLY guys); making the prefect speed up his steps.
"YUUKI!!!!" Zero said hotly as soon as he spotted the petite vampire.
"Oh, Zero! Don't do that! It's so un-lady-like." Yuuki said with a playful smirk on her face.
The silver-amethyst eyed young man tried his best to glare at her, but a sudden shift of the wind reminded him sharply of his current predicament.
The pureblood princess watched amusedly as her adoptive brother tried to prevent the skirt he was wearing from getting lifted by the wind, whilst his cheeks were painted with the most adorable shade of red. She then took this time to carefully admire her masterpiece: Zero was wearing a short, off-shoulder dress the shade of lilac adorned with frills and ribbons; a wide ribbon with a single scarlet rose was tied around his slender neck; atop his silver locks was a frilly, maid-like headband; and his skirt—yes, that skirt which barely reached halfway his milky thighs—revealed his long, beautiful legs which were covered by lacey stockings that were being held in place by garter straps.
Yuuki congratulated herself at this. The hunter looked good enough to eat. "Looks like this will give that final push those three needed…at least before someone else eats Zero before Oniisama and Ichiru does…"
Zero shuddered as he heard a series of "Fufufus" emanated from Yuuki. The girl was evil—rather, evil at its purest form. The brunette may look harmless but the truth is, an unspeakable malice lurked beneath those big, innocent-looking eyes. It may be hard to believe, but it is a fact. How can someone who has the kink to dress up her supposedly adoptive brother in an ero-loli outfit be NOT evil?! And worse—after practically forcing him into cross-dressing, she dragged him all the way from his room to the middle of the school grounds to be part of a "lolita café project" of the Day Class without his consent!
"Zero, Yuuki is right. It is unbecoming indeed." Ichiru said as he overheard their conversation. The younger Kiryuu was wearing an outfit similar to a butler's; the only difference is that a gothic touch was added to it.
The prefect just ignored his twin and turned to the brunette. "Yuuki, would you please explain as to why I'm wearing this…this thing? I mean, look at Ichiru! He's wearing normal guy's clothing!" He said as he pointed at the latter.
"Hmm, true…" She tilted her head to the side. "But I don't think Ichiru-kun is uke-material; you are."
"What do you mea--?!" The rest of his words were cut off as Ichiru took hold of his waist and spun him around so that they are facing each other.
"This is what she meant…" Zero gasped as he felt Ichiru slide his hand underneath his skirt; his hand teased his thigh before it rested on his firm buttocks. Ichiru raised a delicate eyebrow as he felt the material the other was wearing beneath.
"Lace?" The incredulous expression on the younger twin's face turned into a smirk as he slid his fingers along the garter of the underwear and pulled at it—making the sound of garter slapping against skin to be heard in the air. He then leaned closer to Zero; his breath tickling the latter's ear. "My, I'd definitely want to see you wearing only those…Zero."
The silver-haired vampire's already visible blush darkened even more when he heard those highly suggestive words. He tried to push the other away, but the action caused him to lose his balance and resulted to him twisting his ankle. But as he was about to fall, a pair of strong arms caught him in just in time—it was Kaname.
"Zero, does it hurt?" The Kuran prince asked.
Zero blanched. Instead of being relieved, however, he felt his stomach sink. This is definitely not a coincidence! The timing was just too perfect…! "Could it be that…?" He stole a glance at Yuuki and his suspicions were confirmed; an unholy grin was now adorning her lips as she watched the scene unfold in front of her.
"I'll be taking him to the infirmary." Before he could protest, he felt himself being hoisted up by Kaname, so that he was being carried by him—bridal style.
"I'll be coming with you." Ichiru said as he followed the older brunette—towards the school clinic…but the question is, are they?
[Omake: "Mirror, mirror"]
Takuma smiled as he looked at his own reflection on the mirror. The outfit he had recently ordered to be tailored had just arrived, and, well, it was quite evident that he was really pleased with it. He ran his hands along its length; marveling at how smooth the fabric is, and at how the filtered light seemingly made it shimmer.
He turned in front of the mirror once, enjoying how it brought out the emerald of his eyes and accentuated his slim body. He then reached out towards a pair of glasses on top of his dresser and put them on. He smiled again at himself, now that his ensemble is complete.
Just then, he heard the door of his room open, and a wide-eyed Senri stared at him. "Ichijou…what are you wearing?"
"Ehe, do you like it, Shiki?" The Vice-President said as he twirled and said in a cutesy voice, "It's a combination of the meganekko and maid fetishes~~"
No reply was heard from the other vampire; just the sound of the clicking sound of the door being locked…
