Chapter 8

Kaname had a strong grip around Zero as he carried him in his strong arms. The sliver haired boy was freezing. And he had to fight the urge of drinking the delicious blood that was coming out from his leg. The scent was very alluring, but he had to restrain himself.

The castle was close. He could sense everyone's presence inside of it. He slowly opened the door, preparing himself for everyone's reaction.

Everyone gasped.

Yuki had to cover her eyes, not bearing to see what was in front of her. Cross frowned and looked at Haruka, who was soothing Juri. The tea pot had tears coming from her eyes.

Juri's face was filled with horror at the scene in front of her. Zero was unconscious on Kaname's arms, the coat he was wearing was filled with his own blood. His lips turned purple, probably from the cold, and there was a bite mark in his leg. His skin was even more pale than usual and his breathing became slower at every passing moment.

"What happened?" she asked Kaname.

"Rido" was the only thing he said before taking Zero to his room. He still heard as the others gasped from their assumptions...and they are probably right.

Guilt was one of the many things that Kaname was feeling at the moment. If only he had controlled his anger then Zero would be safe. But it was too late now. Zero was hurt and it was his fault. And to make it worse, he was turning into a vampire. How will Zero react when he wakes up? Maybe he will start yelling at Kaname, like he always did. Or maybe he will throw the first thing he sees at him. But what if the ex-human never woke up?

Kaname shook those thoughts off his head. He still had a little faith.

He placed Zero in his big, comfortable bed. It was the biggest one in the castle. His tongue brushed over Zero's wound, licking it. In a matter of seconds the only thing left from the big wound was the scar...and Rido's bite mark. Kaname hated seeing that mark. It's true that he had been planning on turning Zero into a vampire but it was too soon.

Zero's blood really tasted heavenly. It was sweet, like the sweetest of candies, but it had Zero's essence, which made it even better to Kaname. Kaname would never forget the taste of the red nectar. It may be the last time he could drink of it.

Many thoughts invaded Kaname's mind. He wondered when would Zero wake up. When will Zero heal from all the pain. Physically and mentally. Will he ever see Zero smile warmly at him? He wanted answers now. But at the time all he could do was wait.

Days passed an Zero still hasn't woken up. The castle has been awfully quiet. Noone heard any more yelling from the vampire beast eve since he brought Zero to the castle in that awful condition. Kaname explained what happened to everyone except for Yuki. He did not want his little sister to know what happened. Haruka and Cross stopped their constant arguing, no longer feeling in the mood for it. Juri always stayed at Kaname's side. Shizuka stopped talking to everyone in the castle. Ruka always tried to cheer everyone up while the rest of the cast cleaned around.

The castle became lifeless. Nobody has smiled in days. It truly was a sad thing what happened. Kaname waited each passing days with the hope to see those amethyst eyes open once again. He did not care if Zero glared at him or simply stared at him, he wanted Zero to wake up now.

"He will wake up one of these days, dear" Juri always assured him. And Kaname always believed it.

"I know" was the only thing Juri got before Kaname's attention went back to Zero's resting still form.

Today, when Kaname woke up, he had a strange sensation. He felt like today was going to be different...and he hoped that he was right.

Kaname walked over to his room, where Zero still occupied his bed. Kaname has spent all of this days sleeping at Zero's room. Shizuka never said a word...not that he was complaining.

As he entered the room he saw Zero in his usual position. His leg only had two scars. A big one and a small one. The big one was due to him, and it pained Kaname to see it. The small one was, of course, the bite mark. How will Kaname explain it to Zero?

"Zero" Kaname took hold of Zero's soft hand "wake up"

He received no response.

"I'm not use to beg, Zero. You can ask anyone that. But I don't know why but...you are different. You always annoyed me, but there was still something that kept me close to you. I threated you bad and I deeply regret it. I blame myself for all of this. And maybe is too much to ask but..." Kaname paused and planted a kiss on Zero's hand, "please wake up"

A tear keft Kaname's eyes and fell all the way to Zero's chest, in the exact area where the heart was. Kaname suddenly felt as Zero's heartbeat became stronger. His eyes widened as he saw Zero's amethyst orbs were open once again.

"Ka...name?" was the first thing that left Zero's lips.

Kaname, who was still in shcok, didn't say anything. His eyes stared at Zero with amazement.

Zero tried speaking once again but his throat was burning him. It felt like it was on fire. But he didn't wanted to drin water. He had the urge to drink another thing. But what?

"You are thirsty, aren't you?" Kaname asked once he recovered from the shock.

Zero nodded.

Kaname bit his own arm, letting the blood fall from it. He saw as Zero's eyes turned red, comfirming that he was truly a vampire. With absolutely no control of his actions, Zero leaned forwards until his mouth found the red fluid that his body was longing. It tasted so good. The liquid was very adictive. Zero has never tasted anything so good.

Once his throat stopped burning Zero pulled away. His face showed a frown due to what he just did. As for Kaname, he smiled as he hugged Zero close. Zero flinched at the contact, but said nothing. Kaname sensed Zero's reaction an quickly pulled away.

Memories from the previous night began appearing on his mind. He remember every single detail perfectly. From the moment that Rido pinned him down to when Kaname saved him. He remembered all the different kind of pain he felt. From the bite, from the penetration, from Kaname's rage. Everything.

A single tear escaped his eye but he quickly brushed it away.

"What am I?" he asked the beast. Kaname looked away as soon as Zero made the question. And Zero did not like it.

"What am I?" Zero repeated the question.

"You are human" Kaname lied.

Zero frowned at him. He didn't buy it.

"Kaname. I just woke up after going trough hell. I'm not in the mood for lies so just..." Zero looked at Kaname firmly in the eye' "just tell me"

The pleading look in Zero's eyes was too much for Kaname to bear. He looked so...broken.

"I'll tell you" Kaname whispered.

He looked at Zero's wound. "Remember when Rido...bit you?" he asked the silver haired boy.

Zero nodded.

"The saliva had some effects on your body. It made into a vampire"

Zero stared at Kaname for a moment. Is that why his throat was burning? Or why e drank blood from Kaname? How will his dad react if he finds out?

He looked at the small scar and ran his finger over it. He still felt a little of the pain from that day.

"Lucky me" Zero muttered sarcastically. His eyes remained on the wound. He did not want to face Kaname at the moment.

"Look at me" Kaname softly commanded.

Zero, for once, did as he was told and looked at Kaname holding back tears that were threatening to fall.

"I know that you are going trough hell right now. I can't say that I understand your pain cause I've never been in this kind of situation but...if you need anything...just tell me" Kaname kissed Zero's forehead.

Zero sighed.

"I am not weak Kaname. It's true that it's hard for me to accept what just happened but..."Zero bit his lips a little, "I just have to face the facts. I am not proud of what I am now, or what Rido did to me, but I will not waste my tears for it. If I need anything I will just ask you"

Kaname nodded in understanding and stood up.

"Do you want to stay here and rest or go and see the others?" Kaname asked Zero.

"I will stay here at the moment" Zero responded.

With nothing else to say, Kaname left the room.

And for the first time since he lived in the castle, Zero got the chance to see the Kaname that Yuri told him about. But there was different. This Kaname cared about him. What happened to the hot-tempered beast that used to live there?
