Chapter 4: Introduction of a playful Pureblood

'That bastard how dare he?' thought Zero as he gritted his teeth, punching his fists into the tree repeatedly. He could smell his blood. He knew he should stop but the fury he felt was so powerful that he wanted to kill something. Or a rather certain obnoxious pureblood. Zero knew he wasn't just angry with Kuran but at himself for allowing that disgusting pureblood to touch him and worse Kuran was mocking him for successfully making him want to be kissed.

A horrified Zero quickly left the academy to wander into town. He had to, because knowing the severity of his anger, he would attack the pureblood and his fan club. Which he couldn't do because of that damn contract. 'Why ruin what you have built in the past 5 years, you've successfully put aside your hatred with professionalism, why is he so... SMASH... God ...SMASH.. damn... CRACK... different?'

Zero forced himself to stop punching the tree as by any moment the tree looked ready to fall down. Zero closed his eyes and took in long deep breaths to calm down. Once he felt the murderous rage subdue he then stuck his bloodied hand into his trouser pocket, pulling out a packet of cigarettes and lighter. Zero wasn't addicted to them, he just always had them on him and in certain situations, he found that it helped him calm down. Hell, he always wondered why his master smoked the cigarettes? Now he knew. Ah, that reminded him to visit him later as he hadn't seen him in over a year. His master decided to stay on as a teacher at the academy and funnily enough is now a firm believer of unity between the races. Zero snorted at the irony at the thought of his master, as he was the one who told him vampires were monster and shouldn't be trusted. It seems that Cross' dreams have become a reality. Another person he disliked immensely was the chairman. After finding out about Yuuki and the fact that the chairman knew how he felt about purebloods and allowed him to be used by that son of a bitch Kuran. That was it between them; he broke of all relations and good feelings between them.

Suddenly Zero senses picked up on the fact that he was not alone and he whipped out his gun pointing at the brunette man before him.

"Zero you truly are the best hunter out there to be able to sense me, a pureblood." The brunette smirked.

"Samuel... what... I mean Sasaki-sama what are you doing here?"

"Aaaw, I'm hurt Zero. I thought we were mates and here you are behaving in professional hunter mode." Samuel mock pouted.

Zero was shocked at the sight of the handsome young pureblood before him and had nearly forgotten his professionalism. Zero had gone to England last year, to work for Samuel and he found that he had struck an unlikely friendship with the pureblood. He knew anyone back here would be disapproving of his friendship with Samuel. Zero found the man to be nothing like the purebloods in Japan. At first Zero despised him because of what he was and his disturbing resemblance to Kaname Kuran. Samuel hair colour was the same or at least a few shades lighter than Kuran and they both had the same nose and facial structure. But in time ignoring the fact that he was a pureblood and a Kaname Kuran look-alike, he began to like him. Samuel reminded Zero sometimes of a mischievous child. Especially the few times Zero spotted the twinkling look in his sky blue eyes and Zero knew he was planning something to his amusement. Zero really enjoyed his time around the young pureblood. He learned to laugh and live a bit. He was still mistrustful of purebloods but his hatred for the race has cooled down and he can now tolerate their existence. Zero dropped his arm that was holding bloody rose to his side, smiled, and shook his head.

"Samuel, you know how it works and besides why are you here in Japan?" asked Zero curiously.

"Well I was actually on my way to visit Kaname Kuran but I jumped out the limo smelling such a unique delicious blood..." Zero tensed when he sees Samuel's eyes flash crimson "...and funnily enough I should have known it would've been you."

Just when Zero was going to point the gun at him. Samuel burst out chuckling, " Zero there's no need to draw Bloody Rose . It was only a little payback for hurting my feelings."

"Samuel." Zero growled, striding over to him to give a piece of his mind.

As he was about to punch Samuel, he grabbed Zero's wrist and pulled him forward making Zero stumble. Samuel put one arm around his waist and dipped his head forward to whisper into Zero ear

"Jealous pureblood alert."

Zero eyebrows furrowed in confusion as he tilted his head back to stare into Samuel blue eyes, twinkling in mischief. 'Oh no, I know that look. What is he planning?' Zero inwardly groaned when suddenly Samuel crashed his lips against Zero, hands tightening around his waist pulling Zero closer to him. Zero gasped in surprise, eyes widening.

Kaname felt a wave of fury as he saw the unknown pureblood kiss Zero. How dare he? And Zero, Kaname had thought despised pureblood's but he seem very friendly with this unknown pureblood. Kaname had a very weird urge to separate them and tear that man limb from limb for daring to even kiss Zero. Kaname ignored asking himself why he was even feeling like this, when he saw Zero pull away out of the man's arms and glance in his hidden direction. Kaname put on his expressionless mask and walked towards the two of them. As he got closer, he had a chance to assess the other pureblood appearance. If Kaname wasn't in control of his emotions his mouth would've fell open at the similarities in their appearance. He tried not to clench his jaw in anger as he saw the smug expression on the annoying unknown pureblood. He then glanced at Zero, who was blushing, he looked adorable and Kaname liked his blushing face earlier but for some reason he hated the very sight of it because it was caused by the other man.

"Oh, you must be the famous Kuran-San. I'm Samuel Sasaki and I believe we have a meeting back at Cross Academy." smiled Samuel as he stuck out his hand for a handshake.

Kaname grasped the other man's hand and put a bit of force into the shake but Samuel either didn't notice or chose to ignore the fact that Kaname would be crushing his bones if Samuel was a human. After they finished hand shaking Samuel wrapped his arm around Zero's shoulders.

"Aaah, Zero I see you are working for the great Kuran King himself. My, my you simply are the best at everything you do but then I know you are for having hired you a year ago." Samuel said glancing at Zero face to see questioning violet eyes.

"Good choice for hiring him. When the contract expired between me and Zero, I wanted to keep him all to myself such a unique person as Zero. He was perfect. He did his jobs with his utmost attention and displayed such respect and submissiveness all alone, together in my private rooms."

Zero would have spluttered at the suggestiveness of Samuel's comment if it wasn't for the warning squeeze of his shoulder that he remained silent. He was fuming inside but he was wondering what Samuel was playing at. Why he was even trying to make Kuran jealous? It was a bit ridiculous as he didn't care one bit for Zero.

"Well my limo is here why not come with me? As we're going in the same direction and ten to twenty minutes is enough time to get quickly acquainted with one another again." purred Samuel seductively, walking behind Zero. He wrapped his arms around his waist and began nuzzling his face into Zero soft silver hair.

Kaname felt his nails digging into the flesh of his palms and reminded himself, a little harder and the scent of his blood would be in the air. He would not give the satisfaction of letting Samuel know he had successfully aggravated him.

"I'm deeply sorry about that but I believe that Zero is contracted to me and is to follow my orders. I'm afraid I cannot allow Zero with you. Why don't you go along now and we shall meet up at the academy." Kaname replied in a nonchalant manner, which surprised him when in actual fact he was seething inside.

To Kaname's utter annoyance Samuel's smile widened and he removed his arms saying a disappointed tone " Aaaw it seems that I have to meet up with you and..." he broke off as he squeezed Zero's backside. Zero gave a startled yelp when he felt Samuel grope him and blush a bright red when he heard the next words that came piling out of his mouth ".. Your sweet ass another time."

Samuel's eyes were filled with amusement and twinkling with mischief as he stared at Zero embarrassed face. That was it for Zero. He was so going to kill Samuel for the stunts that he pulled. The things that he said, Zero was afraid and concerned that Kuran actually believed them. Zero decided that enough was enough and to vent out his anger out on Samuel.

"You are so dead."

"Whoops! better be off before Zero tries to blast me with Bloody Rose." And with that said, Samuel disappeared in a flash using vampiric speed.

Zero just stared at the spot where Samuel was and decided that the next time he was to see him, he would give him a peace of his mind. A sudden darkening aura of a pureblood brought Zero out of his thoughts. He glanced at Kaname furious face when suddenly he was pushed, Kaname's body pinning Zero to the tree.

"Reminiscing Zero, of all the times you allowed him to fuck you?" Kaname hissed into Zero's ear.

Zero felt his eyes widen in shock and he was a bit bewildered at Kuran's behaviour. But then again as soon as he arrived Kuran had done nothing but confuse, humiliate and fluster Zero. To his utter disgust and shame his body began reacting. A few of Kaname brown locks tickled the side of Zero face and he couldn't help but breath in the scent of the pureblood. He could smell the shampoo of Kuran hair. He could smell the soap and aftershave of the pureblood and he could smell Kuran own individual scent. He was intoxicating and Zero wanted him.

Kaname didn't know why he was furious but the thought and images of Zero writhing in pleasure underneath that annoying Samuel sparked fury and jealousy. He no idea why he felt like that. He had doubts that Zero would sleep with the man. Samuel had said those things to wind him up but still there was a niggling thought of why Zero and Samuel were so close. Also Kaname was furious as he had no knowledge of Zero going to England to work under a pureblood. It seemed the reports that the Hunter Association had sent him of Zero's jobs were missing a few vital details. This furthered Kaname's suspicions of betrayal. He wondered what else the Hunter Association was lying about. He was also curious as to how Samuel had managed to break the icy exterior of the hunter?. He managed to grope Zero without getting shot byBloody Rose. He had noticed Zero was lost in his thoughts and he wondered if Zero was thinking about meeting Samuel at another time. The thought of Zero going to meet Samuel to 'catch up' was to much and the next thing he knew he had Zero pinned to a tree. Kaname could feel the desire and reactions of Zero. Kaname stepped back to press his lips against Zero and was granted entrance as they kissed deeply and passionately. He felt a sense of satisfaction that he could get Zero to respond to him but as soon as he felt the satisfaction a thought crossed his mind, which was one he couldn't bear.

'What if Zero only reacting like this to you because you resemble that Samuel?'

At that thought he felt an immense anger and deep within, a feeling of hurt. He needed to lash out and cause Zero pain. He broke his kiss with Zero and venomously said,

"You seem to enjoy getting kissed by two purebloods. What happened to hating our existence? who knew you would be power hungry and willingly sleep with pureblood's..." Kaname grabbed Zero jaw and stared into confused lilac eyes before continuing, sneering "... hmm slut."

Kaname saw shock and hurt in the watery amethyst eyes before they closed. Kaname felt guilty as he stared into the scrunched up face of Zero. He wanted to ask forgiveness but his pride would not allow it. He released Zero jaw and turned his back ready to leave when he ordered, "You shall not contact Samuel Sasaki or it would be considered betrayal. If you disobey the Hunter Association shall take the punishment. Make sure you return to Cross Academy." Kaname then disappeared in a flash as he used vampiric speed.

Zero slid down the tree as he sensed Kaname'a presence had gone before allowing the tears to slide down his face in slow trails. 'How could he say that? Slut?' Zero heart clenched in pain as he heard the word repeatedly being said so venomously in his head. 'Why did I ever let myself be in a dfposition in which he humiliates me, time after time?' Zero thought, feeling shamed. Then he felt a surge of anger. 'He could go fuck himself if that bastard believes he'll be able to do it a third time.'

"Fuck you Kuran." said Zero's voice, filled with hatred into the heavy blowing winds.

Covering in the shadows of the trees, masking their own aura, Blue eyes stared at the scene, snorting softly "You sure are stupid, Kaname-onisama."
