I'm back with another chapter :). I see that people really want to see Zero meet Kaname. The chapter has finally arrived. The rating will change to M in this chapter. Why is that? Read and find out.

Chapter 3

Zero was right now at the balcony of his house. He finished reading the book yesterday night. The house felt lonely without his dad in there. It has been two days since he left for the fair and Zero was feeling a little lonely. He had a bad feeling inside. He felt like something had happened to his dad. But he was probably being paranoid.

The day was beautiful. It was perfect to ride Eclipse. But Eclipse wasn't there so he just sat at the balcony and looked at how the villagers were moving all around the town.

"This town is so boring" he muttered ti himself. The only places he enjoyes was the library and the little house he lived in. Those two places had something in common. He coud be alone with no one to bother him and he could just let his mind wonder.

"If this town is so boring then why don't you just marry me" Rido appeared and looked at Zero. "We can move very far away and be a very happy couple"

"Just leave me alone Rido. Go with Vector or something" Zero didn't want to deal with Rido now.

"How about we have a little talk inside?" Rido offered.

"Whatever" Zero muttered and opened the door. They walked over to the living room. Zero just stood up waiting for whatever Rido had to say.

"Why don't you want to be my wife?" Rido asked with fake sadness.

"Because you are too annoying. I can't stand you" Zero replied. "Plus, I don't love you"

Rido came closer to Zero, his eyes showing lust. Nothing but lust. Zero gulped as Rido came closer.

"If you don't let me have you the good way..."Rido pinned Zero to the wall "...I'll just take you the hard way"

Rido started planting kisses all over Zero's neck. Zero struggled but Rido was very strong. Rido's hands traveled to Zero's shirt and slowly unbuttoned it. Zero's pale chest was now completely exposed.

"Let me go..." Zero tried but he was ignored. Rido's hand roamed all over Zero's chest.

"Such a nice body" he kissed one of Zero's nipples. "It's too good to be ignored"

"Rido. Leave me al..." he was cut off by a forceful kiss on his lips. His mouth was forced open and the disgusting feeling of Rido's wet tongue invading his mouth was the only thing Zero was feeling. And he didn't like it. Zero wanted to throw up at the moment.

Rido's right hand traveled to Zero's pant where he brushed it against Zero's erection. Zero let an moan. He didn't want this. There was something he could do to break free.

"I wonder if you taste as good as you look" Rido said. He started undoing Zero's jeans went

BANG

He fell unconscious on the floor leaving a very angry Zero holding a broken face.

"Don't ever try to do that again" Zero spat at him.

He picked up his shirt and put it on again. He threw a dreadful glance at the unconscious Rido and got out of his house.

'I need to get out before he wakes up' Zero thought and left town.

He was now in a valley that wasn't very far away from town. His dad went trough this place to go to the science fair. The path was really good in this valley but if you went further the road gets a little harder. But Zero was just there to get away from Rido for a while. Until his dad was back. He lied down on the clean grass and stared at the sky. He could have sworn that one of the clouds took form of a beast. But he was probably still affected from Rido's previous actions.

The silence in the place was broken when Zero heard a horse coming closer. But it wasn't just any horse. It was Eclipse. He was running towards Zero but his dad nor his machine was with him. What could've happened?

Eclipse took some steps closer until he reached Zero.

"Calm down boy" Zero patted his horse on the head. "Where is dad?"

Eclipse moved his head and signaled a certain direction with it. Southwest.

"Can you take me with him?" Zero asked his horse. Eclipse didn't respond at first but then he gave Zero a nod.

Zero mounted on Eclipse and let the horse show the way to his father.

As Zero expected, the road was dark. In a corner he saw his dad's machine all broken in the ground. He shook his head at the loss but continued with his quest. He took exactly the same path as Taki until he reached the castle.

He slowly opened the door in there and entered.

"Hello" he called.

No one responded so he decided to look around. He didn't noticed that he was being watched.

"Mom. There is a boy at the castle" Yuki told Juri. Juri frowned at her daughter.

"Don't make up such tales. Do you know how will your brother react if he hears you" Juri told Yuki.

"But I'm not lying mom. I swear"

"Yuki" Juri warned. She didn't want Kaname to listen.

"Juri, There is a boy at the castle" Ruka, the feather duster. Said.

Juri's eyes widened.

"Told you mom" Yuki said and followed Ruka to where Cross and Haruka were.

Cross, Haruka, Yuki, Ruka and Juri stood in a corner completely quiet. They were surprised to see such beautiful boy enter such place.

"Dad, Are you here?" Zero kept calling.

"He is just looking for his dad" Ruka muttered from the corner where they were watching.

"Is his dad the man who came earlier?" Yuki asked.

"We don't know for sure honey" Juri replied.

"Maybe he is the one to finally break this curse" Haruka said.

"But what if he isn't?" Ruka asked them.

"There is only one way to find out" Cross began following Zero and the others did the same.

When Zero turned to walk in another direction Cross quietly opened the door where his dad was captive. Zero raised an eyebrow but entered the room.

"Dad" he called once again. Nothing but silence was heard until...

"Zero? Is that you son?" came out Taki's voice.

"Dad?" Zero moved closer only to find his dad locked in a cell. "Who did this?"

"Forget about it. Just run" Taki warned his son.

"I won't leave you here dad" Zero assured.

When Taki was about to reply Zero was surprised by a pair of strong, hairy hands pulling him back. He fell on the ground as whoever did it let him go.

"Who are you?" Zero asked. A dark figure could be seen in the shadows.

"I am the ruler of this place" the figure responded.

"I just came to look for my father" Zero started. "Could you just let me take him?"

"NO" the figure yelled. Zero had to admit that he was scared. This was not his day.

"Why not?" Zero just wanted to go home.

"He is my prisoner. A filthy human that invaded my territory" the figure growled.

Now Zero was angry.

"DON'T CALL MY FATHER A FILTHY HUMAN. WHAT MAKES YOU BETTER THAN HIM?" Zero yelled.

The figure came out t the light. A beast. The figure was a beast. He had four large fangs that came out of his mouth. His body was covered in brown hair and his crimson eyes held nothing but anger.

"DON'T YOU DARE TO YELL AT ME AGAIN IN MY OWN CASTLE" Zero's felt his anger fade away. He was terrified. But he couldn't let that guy know that.

"Kaname. Calm down" Juri decided to show herself.

Kaname, the beast, took one big breath before looking back at Zero.

"Your father will stay here and that's final" Kaname said in a more relaxed tone this time.

Zero shook his head. "No. I...Is there a way to set him free?" Zero still had a little hope.

Kaname stayed silent. He started considering the offer. If the boy stayed he could break the curse. But if he let go he didn't have to put up with his attitude. But this may be his only chance to become a human.

"There is one thing you can do" Zero looked up at Kaname. "You must stay here with me in his place" Kaname pointed at Taki.

Zero gasped.

"Don't do it son. I'll be fine" Taki tried reasoning with his son but it was no use. Zero had already made up his mind.

"I'll do it. Just let him go" Zero whispered. Kaname nodded and took Taki by his shirt.

"Be glad to have such a nice son" Kaname told Taki before handing him to one of his servants and disappeared from their sights.

"As for you" Kaname said referring to Zero "You will be here forever. You are forbidden to leave"

With that Kaname left leaving Zero with Yuki, Juri, Haruka, Ruka and Cross. Yuki came closer to Zero.

"Don't worry. He will be nice to you once you get to notice" she tried to cheer Zero up.

Zero looked at Yuki, tears were threatening to fall from his eyes.

"I really hope you are right"

Not a very nice encounter if you ask me. Poor Zero. How will he deal with Kaname? Or how will Kaname deal with Zero? You will find out in the next chapter. Please Review
