I OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT, YOUR MOTHER, AND YOUR SOUL!


Previously:

"I will allow you to... feed from me... so long as you no longer take blood from Yuuki.." He said softly. He opened his mouth once more, this time his gaze was on Zero. "Does that sound acceptable to you, Kiryuu, Zero-kun..?"

Now:

It took a moment or two for the question to make sense to him before he turned his head, looking away with a scoff. He opened his mouth, saying, "Its not like I mean to take blood from her.. " before his expression softened. The thought of hurting Yuuki was almost unbearable. Kaname looked at Zero before opening his mouth in order to say something, he then closed it before thinking. After a few moments, the pure-blood opened his mouth once more.

"Yes... you do not mean to, but your vampire instincts are coming out more often; meaning, the urge to feed comes more frequently than before, am I correct, Kiryuu, Zero?"

The silver haired male sighed before biting his bottom lip, looking back at Kaname before nodding slowly, he then opened his mouth in reply. The response that came from his lips were, "Yes.. you are correct.." He looked down at the ground, angry that he had admitted such things to the one that he despised. Zero looked up at the brunette, defiance in his eyes, "But I still don't feel that I can take blood from you.

Raising a delicate eyebrow, Kaname started to speak softly. "Why do you feel that way, Kiryuu? Is it because you are my self-proclaimed enemy? Or perhaps it is because I am the thing that you were raised to both hate and fear? Better yet, perhaps it is.. a mix of both?" He asked, genuinely curious as to why the ex-human was so against drinking from him. Zero scowled before answering.

"It's both.." He began, crossing his arms across his chest, he then started again. "Wouldn't it injure your pride as well? Letting someone like myself drink from you?" He glued his eyes onto the regal features of the other male, trying to find any kind of rejection on the aristocrats face.

Kaname closed his eyes as he could feel himself sigh, the lack of trust from the ex-human was becoming annoying. He looked up at the other before taking a few steps forward. The vampire stopped when there was only a foot or two of space between them.

"It would not injure my pride, Kiryuu, because I know that I would be doing this for Yuuki-chan... for her, I would do anything I possibly could in order to protect her, even give someone like you my blood."

Zero took in a shaky breath, still trying to remain defiantly brave. He kept his eyes locked with Kaname's, even when there was less than two feet separating them, he then opened his mouth, his eyes still locked with the pure-blood's.

"I don't want her to get hurt either.. especially since I know it would be me doing harm to her.."

The silver haired teen looked down, ashamed that he had admitted his worst fear to his enemy. Kaname smiled a bit at the silver haired human turned vampire before opening his mouth.

"Good, we both... desire the same thing.. Now, will you agree to my proposition? Or shall I have you locked away and killed when you become a level-E?" he asked harshly, eyes cold and devoid of any emotion. Zero stayed silent for a few moments before lowering his head and letting his arms fall to his sides. He felt as if he had just lost an important game as the words came from his mouth.

"Alright... I'll agree to you proposition..."

The brunette nodded before backing away slowly, a small smile on his pale face. "Good, I doubt that Yuuki-chan would like the thought of you being killed.. let alone the thought that you were to be killed because you became a blood-thirsty monstrosity." After saying this, he turned around and opened his mouth once more. "I expect you to seek me out anytime you feel the urge to feed... am I clear, Kiryuu, Zero?" He asked, his head was turned a bit so that he could see the other male over his shoulder and through his peripherals. Zero scowled a bit before replying with a 'yes'; though, he said it though gritted teeth, which was accompanied by a sigh, he then turned and began to walk back to his own residence. That had to be the worst way to end a night as bad as this one.

On his way back to the night dorms, the dark haired male chuckled, he had a feeling that the young Kiryuu would need to feed soon. Kaname sighed almost inaudibly at the thought, the task at hand would be difficult on his state of mind since he had planned on only Yuuki drinking his blood. When he reached the dorms, he sighed, this time it was a bit louder. At the door, he turned his head, he then opened it, the sun would be rising any moment.

As the young pure-blood had reached his dorm, Zero had reached his. He slammed the door rather loudly before going to his bed and laying on it. For a while, he stared at the ceiling brooding on what had just transpired, the next thing he knew, he was staring at the same ceiling groggily; though, the night sky made it evident that he had slept through the whole day. He looked over to the clock on the wall; it read 1am. He grunted before he sat up. 'How could I have slept that long..? And why didn't Yuuki try to wake me?' were his thoughts before he stood. Straightening his clothing, he headed to Yuuki's room, calling her name softly, when she didn't answer, he pushed the door open, peeking inside. What he saw brought a small smile to his face. She was asleep, curled up in bed and dressed in a simple night gown. Walking in slowly, he stood over the bed and watched her sleeping face for a moment then gradually, and almost of its own accord, his vision shifted to her pale neck and shoulder and his breath caught in his throat. That familiar ache inside of him made itself known and before he realized it, he was inches away from the girl. Had Yuuki been awake, she would have felt his breath on her cheek. Zero forced his glowing eyes to close to regain control of himself and ran out of the room and then out of the building, stopping once he found himself hidden in the trees.

Kaname let his brown eyes stare at the night sky as he went deep into thought. He was near the base of a giant tree, the branches and leaves casted shadows over his form. He sighed inaudibly before closing his eyes, focusing on nothing but the sounds of nature, it seemed as if Zero had slept all day, and for that, Kaname was thankful. He wasn't thankful because he knew Zero needed sleep, no, he was more selfish than that, he was thankful that the silver haired guardian had slept all day because it was less likely that the boy would need his blood.. at least during the time he was sleeping he wouldn't be thinking of blood. His brown eyes snapped opened when he heard rustling in the nearby trees. Knowing who it was, Kaname with held a sigh. "Kiryuu-kun.." He said softly, not even looking to see if there was a physical response from the other male. Zero winced, the sound of the others baritone voice made him flinch, despite how softly the words flowed. He doubled over, breathing heavily, partially from his sprint to the woods and partially from his blood-lust. After standing straight again, he addressed Kaname with a glance, glowing red staring at the brunette's body.

Once he had heard more rustling, Kaname sighed before he unbuttoned his blazer, he turned to face the other. After his blazer was off, he started to undo the buttons of his shirt. Once the task was completed, the regal vampire folded his articles of clothing neatly, he then went to another nearby tree, setting his shirt and blazer at the base of the tree, he then made his way over to the other, standing a few feet in front of the ex-hunter, he then addressed him.

"Kiryuu.."

During the time which Kaname was taking his upper clothing off, Zero had closed his eyes, but not before they lingered on the other males body, he gulped when he was addressed. The soft voice made him open his eyes, but when they did, the silver haired teen could do nothing more than look at Kaname's neck. He bit his bottom lip when his blood lust came over him ten-fold. As this was happening, Kaname raised a brow before letting his head fall to the side, baring his neck the blood thirsty teen.

"Come, Kiryuu, Zero... feed."

With those words, a whimper escaped Zero's mouth before he took a step forward, looking at the others eyes before shutting his own, he then cringed before shaking his head.

"No.. I can't..."

Zero gasped out before he fell to his hands a knees, fisting the grass. Kaname sighed before he righted his body, he then knelt in front of the hesitating teen.

"And why is that?"

He asked, his tone of voice and his eyes were soft. He was trying to understand the young ex-hunter's reasons for not drinking his blood, even though he wanted to. He tried to, but he just couldn't. The light haired male didn't bother to look up at the brunette, he didn't want to. He couldn't stand that the brunette was trying to understand when he knew that the pure-blood couldn't.

"I... I don't want to give into this... I don't want it to control me.."

He whispered brokenly, taking deep breathes in between his words as he tried to control his blood lust. He closed his eyes, gasping even more as tears welled up in the corner's of his eyes as he tried to resist the temptation that was Kaname. The brunette gave a small smile before lifting the others head so that he could look at Zero.

"Kiryuu-kun.. this proposition is only in effect when you feel as if you can not avoid feeding."

The night class president closed his eyes, taking a deep breathe as he steeled himself for what he was about to do. The pure-blood pulled the other male into his arms, attempting to offer the silver haired teen some sort of comfort. When Kaname did this, Zero's eyes opened as he rested his head against the dark haired males shoulder. He embraced the comfort, but soon found his lips pressed to Kaname's neck, one arm around the others waist whilst his free hand held tightly onto Kaname's shoulder. He could smell the blood waiting for him, he could feel the brunette's pulse under his lips, but he hesitated, not sure if Kaname would actually let him bite his neck.

Kaname's breathe hitched when he felt the other males soft lips on his neck. He inhaled deeply, trying to suppress the shiver he felt going up his spine before he tilted his head to the side, silently giving the silver haired male permission to take action now.

"Feed, Zero-kun.."

He mumbled before closing his eyes. He winced a bit and bit his bottom lip when he felt Zero sink his fangs into his own neck seconds after those two words were spoken. Zero moaned at the first gush of blood that hit his tongue and he drank desperately, his nails digging into the others shoulder as he did so. His desire for blood had become too great, and so he had finally given into his inner beast.
