Hey everyone. I can see you all hate Rido in this story. I honestly don't blame you. After what he did to Zero he deserves more than hate**glares at Rido** Voting is over. I will definitely write a sequel for this story. And I will make sure to write longer chapters for it. The previous chapter did not had any Kaname/Zero. Don't worry. This one has **cheers** And we get to know more about Kaname's past.
Disclaimer: I have nothing better to do and I clearly have n life so I can't own Vampire Knight, Beauty and the beats or any of it's characters. I own Taki, Eclipse and Vector but they are not as cool as the usual characters :(
Chapter 10
Zero was walking in the hallway, holding onto Kaname's arm like his life depended on it. His leg was still hurting and there was no wheelchair in the mansion. And he was not going to stay in bed all day. So that was his only option for now.
They were currently walking to the 'forbidden' room. Kaname decided that if he was going to have Zero as his future mate then he should tell him about himself. Zero agreed to the idea of wanting to know more about Kaname's past, but he did not know the reason for Kaname's sudden sincerity. He did not want to make things worse so he just followed Kaname's lead.
They entered the room. Kaname slowly closed the door, making sure that nobody else entered. Zero eyed the room once again. It still looked the same, except for the blood stain that was on the wall. The book was still in the same place where it had been dropped. The rose was safely in the same cage. Nothing seemed out of order.
"Ask anything you want" Kaname simply told the ex-human.
Zero stayed silent for a while. He needed to find the right words to say. Kaname was finally opening up to him and he could not mess up this unique opportunity.
"How old are you?" was the first question that Zero asked.
"I am twenty years old. Soon-to-be twenty one" Kaname replied to the question.
Zero seemed satisfied with his answer, so he continued with the next question.
"How did my previous wound healed so fast" It was very deep" Zero asked.
"My saliva, as well as any other pureblood's, has healing abilities. When my saliva made contact with your wound it quickly healed it" Kaname responded.
Kaname wanted to answer Zero honestly. He just did not want to tell Zero about his past. He was not so proud of it. If the question comes, Kaname will answer it. He already swore to tell the truth. But he isn't too comfortable with telling Zero this.
"Why did you turn into a beast?"
That was exactly the question that Kaname was trying to avoid.
"Why are you asking me this now?" Kaname asked the ex-human that was standing besides him.
"Because you promised that if I needed something then all I had to do is tell you. I want to know more about you, him and everyone else that lives here" Zero explained.
"Do you really want to know so badly about everything?" Kaname looked at Zero's face. It was full of determination and Kaname knew that the silver haired boy won't give up until he gets an answer.
"Fine" Kaname picked up the book that was lying in the floor and opened it. The first page that showed the firts couple came to Zero's view. "You know most of the people that are in this book. Most of them are family. Some of them are very close friends. Not everyone that lives in this castle were items since they were born"
"I know"
"I figured that out" Kaname's eyes fell on the crimson rose locked in a cage "That rose is he cause of everything"
"It all started four years ago..."
-Flashback-
"Could you please let me stay here for the night, my prince. The weather became too dangerous for a old lady like myself" the older woman asked for the second time these days to Kaname.
"I'm afraid I cannot let a commoner inside. We do not like to mix with lower rank humans" Kaname bitterly responded to the woman.
"Please, my prince" the woman begged. Unfortunately, Kaname did not show any mercy.
"Leave at once!" the brunette yelled.
He saw as the old woman frowned. Soon, a bright light surrounded the woman, who turned into a beautiful girl. Her bright, blonde hair reacher her waist as he dazzling emerald shone more bright than the beautiful stone itself. Kaname was nothing but shocked at the moment.
"My summoner was right. You d not care about other life beings and for that I will punish you" the enchantress began chanting somethings in an unknown language. A small wound appeared in Kaname's hand, blood falling from it. The blood began taking a form similar to a rose.
"This rose contains the blood of your normal form. I will now alternate your normal blood and you will become the exact opposite of what you are, a hideous beast that will have to live secluded. When the last petal of the blood rose falls to the ground you will stay in that form forever, since it will contain the last remaining blood from your normal form"
A light began surrounding Kaname, this time it was dark. He felt changes going trough his body as hair grew everywhere. His fangs grew longer than usual, claws began showing in both his hands and feet, his nose changed form, now resembling a dog or even wolf, and his entire body grew bigger than usual.
The enchantress disappeared.
'Only true love can purify the blood in your body, even without having the blood rose' Kaname heard somebody whisper into the air.
He walked over a small puddle made by the rain and stared at his reflection. Eyes widened at the horrible sight in front of him. He was a complete abomination. He walked to the castle, only to find his entire family and friends transformed as well. They stared from head to toe at Kaname and his brand new form.
"How?" Haruka was the first one to talk since the accident.
"..." Kaname didn't say anything.
"Looks like somebody did not behave very well" a very human, er...vampire, Rido said as he entered the room.
"Why are you still human?" Shizuka asked her soon-to-be husband.
Everyone saw an evil smirk from across Rido's face. His eyes turned to Kaname.
"You didn't think that the enchantress came out of nowhere"
"What is he talking about?" a very confused Juri asked his brother and his now beastly son.
"You all got what you deserved. In four years everything will be claimed by someone that can actually handle an entire kingdom. Goodbye for now. I do not want to live in a madhouse" were the last words they all heard Rido say before he started walking to the exit/entrance.
"Rido...wait" Shizuka begged.
Rido simply ignored her and walked away from them.
"Kaname, what happened?" his mother asked.
"We are doomed" he said an headed to his room, all faith lost since he glanced at himself. Nobody could ever fall in love with such a hideous monster...
-End Flashback-
Zero stayed silent for a moment, taking in all of the information he just receive. So Rido really used to live here.
"This couple you see over here" Kaname signaled at the two humans, or vampires, in the picture ,"are my parents"
"They look alike" Zero said.
"That's because they are brother and sister, Zero"
"They are allowed to do marry a family member?" a shocked Zero asked.
Kaname nodded. "It is not a problem among vampires. Actually, it is very natural"
Kaname heard Zero mutter a small "weird" before passing to the next page. It showed a picture of himself with Yuki.
"These over here" Kaname pointed at the young girl ,"is Yuki".
Zero smiled at the picture. Yuki was very cute indeed. She looked so much like her parents. A thought hit Zero. If that is Yuki then that means...
"The man standing besides her is none other than myself" Kaname stared at Zero's reaction. Zero kept looking at the picture and then at Kaname over and over again.
'Damn. He was hot' Zero thought to himself as he continued starring at the picture, as if it was the first time he saw it.
Seeing that Zero was not commenting, Kaname passed to the other page. Showing Rido with another woman.
"You already know who Rido is. But you don't know who is the person besides him" Zero looked over at the silver haired woman. "She is Shizuka. She was Rido's previous lover"
"Does he has a preference with silver haired people?" Zero couldn't help but to blurt out the question.
Kaname chuckled a bit, later turning it into a frown.
"Who knows?"
Kaname closed the book and waited for Zero to say anything. Silence filled the room as both figures just stared at each other. Kaname bit his lip and looked away. Many thoughts invaded his head.
'Zero most be repulsed by my form' was his main thought.
Zero took Kaname's hand with both of his and gave Kaname a comforting hug.
"You are not so bad as I thought you were" Zero whispered to him "You did saved me after all"
"And I will do it again" Kaname kissed Zero's hand, hair ticking Zero's fingers "You are worth it"
Zero blushed at the comment. Zero began feeling a strange emotion. He couldn't really identify it. What could it be?
"Are you repulsed by my form?" Kaname asked. It was now his turn to ask anything.
"I'm not going to lie to you. At first, I was a little scared. But I never felt repulsed. Besides, the only thing that matters is what is inside. Maybe at first you weren't the most sociable person but...after Rido did to me...you were there the whole time. You are not the selfish prince everyone told me about. You are more than that" Zero sincerely expressed his thought.
Kaname felt a light spark deep inside of him. He realized something very important right now. Zero was truly the one for him. Only Zero can understand him. And only Zero could make Kaname act so...weird.
"And you are more than just a stubborn brat that invaded my castle. Or my room. You've proven to be so much more than that. I have never seen someone as strong as you. And for that, I vow to help you heal from your wounds"
After that, they just continued staring at the rest of the book. Maybe living in the castle wouldn't be so bad after all...
TBC...
I hate my slow computer **glares at computer**. There you have chapter 10. I hope that you all liked it. These was mostly about Kaname's past and I am sorry if you don't understand some of it. If you don't then just PM me and I will gladly explain to you. First five reviews get a preview and the rest of the reviews will make a very happy me.
