The Chosen Mate
Fireflies
Minutes, hours, days, weeks could have passed when Zero opened his eyes seeing that he leaned his head next to a still sleeping Shiki. He looked around seeing that they were still moving, he sighed realizing that his body shivered from the cold. He touched the other man and flinched that his skin was ice-cold, Zero guessed that they had been there for a couple of hours. He was about to shake the other male until said male bolted right up and went to go throw up a little further from where they were sleeping.
"Shiki," Zero said looking worried towards the still puking man.
He went up to him and began to rub soothing circles around the other man's back trying to comfort him. They stayed like that for a while until Shiki began to pant, cheeks flushed and looked paler. Zero looked at the man who had looked up at him with a tilted head looking cutely at Zero reminding him of a small lost child. Zero looked down trying to think of what could have made Shiki sick, his thoughts got interrupted when Shiki's next words froze him.
"I'm pregnant," Shiki sighed as he wobbled on his feet walking a little further away from his puking.
"What?" Zero didn't know if he had heard right or not, he could have sworn-
"I'm five weeks pregnant." Shiki looked at him smiling slightly seeing Zero's confused face.
"I didn't know that..." Zero trailed off from his slight shock.
"Yes, we can get pregnant," Shiki said looking at the frozen meat making his stomach gurgle a bit.
"How?" Zero asked a bit to quick.
"Well only vampires could get pregnant, it has always been like that for as long as I could remember. I've heard a bunch of stories, but the real story is," Shiki sat back down feeling a bit dizzy. Zero joined him for a bit of body heat. "Well it all stated back in the early 110 B.C. when our kind were slowly killed by hunters. We didn't have many women and the women who birth would always come out a boy. Slowly the women were hunted down when they began to notice that they lure men into their traps and feed from them. Humans began to hunt us down making us run deep into the woods. My ancestors were slowly going mad without blood, that they began t attack each other in order to survive, others began to hunt animals or travelers until one of them was turned." Shiki sighed making a small puff of air come out of his mouth.
"What else?" Zero asked eager to know.
"Well the traveler was scientist, and when they knew they began to attack him with questions of needing more women and that some of the men were destined mates but cannot birth child. The scientist helped them, he had told them to take young girls from other villages and transform them like they did to him. Only some could survive, others were killed while they were feeding. He was intrigued when he did find out that men were mated to the same-sex, he began to study them. Until the scientist began to do some more research, he took some blood samples from us vamps, and found out that just by drinking the sweet nectar of a pure blood, all males could get pregnant. But first he had to test it out on one of them, he mixed each of their blood. Those two vampires mated and a while later they found out that they could carry a child. So all the ones who drank out of a pure blood's blood, could carry children and those who were male their sons could also birth children. Until now, some of us could hardly carry child, my mother was born from a male family, making me able to carry children." Shiki smiled looking at his still flat stomach.
"That is so weird," Zero said shivering from the cold.
"Right," Shiki smirked. "Wonder how long more until we're trap here,"
"I wish they would hurry up and get us out of here." Zero said hugging the man for warmth.
"Hey, I think we're stopping," Shiki suddenly said feeling the car slow down.
They heard the door open, someone walked away, they stayed quiet for a while listening for any weird noises. When they heard nothing they slowly got up and began to walk towards the door, they hoped that the guy would open up and let them out already. Both were tired, hungry, and freezing. They heard cars come and go, they didn't know where were they or what time or day it was. They got colder by the passing minute making them stay still and huddle.
"It got colder suddenly," Zero said teeth chattering.
Shiki nodded and hugged his cold abdomen, he was scared for the child. Zero took off his short sleeved jacket and put it over the trembling vampire. Shiki thanked him making Zero nod and hug him even closer. They stayed like that for a long time, the only movements were shivering and hugging together. Zero began to feel tire and his thin shirt was not helping him either as he took off his other shirt and gave it to Shiki for warmth.
"Zero," Shiki said after a while.
When he got no response Shiki tried again and again, he started to freak out when he felt Zero's cold body. He gently tugged the silver-haired man right in front of him and hugged him. He closed his eyes feeling the ice-cold air lull him into a deep sleep.
"It's a day, and they are moving again, we're four hours behind," Takuma said checking that where they were was moving fast.
Kaname sped faster, he wanted to get over with it, night was approaching and they were glad that their windows all were blocking the sun's nasty rays. Takuma announced that they had stopped, Kaname did not wast time and sped even faster ignoring the horns of the cars that he passed. He glared when Takuma wanted him to go even faster over a hundred miles if possible.
"The signal is coming from inside that trailer," Takuma pointed out.
Kaname looked to see one huge trailer, it was long, his nose wrinkled when an aroma of dead blood and animals hit his nose. Another nasty smell hit him, he could have sworn it smelled like throw up but wasn't so sure. They got out of the car Takuma all but ran like a maniac for the car. Kaname didn't even have to open it, Takuma pulled it open only to be met with ice-cold air. Both shivered at the ice-cold air and backed up a bit, they looked to see meat and sorts of other things hanging from the bars.
"SHIKI!" Takuma yelled when he saw his unconscious lover on the floor with Zero on the other side.
Kaname looked at Takuma trying to wake his lover up, but to no avail. He looked to see Takuma pick Shiki up and carried him out, Kaname picked Zero up noticing how well the slender man fit in his arms. He like how the silverette felt, so fragile, yet firm and he just fit well. He walked out of the trailer on his way he looked down to see that indeed it was puke he smelled earlier.
"Aidou, help them!" Takuma half sobbed feeling lost that his mate felt so cold and his lips were a pale purple.
"Let me check," Aidou panicked and checked him over.
Kaname came with Zero much slower not wanting to let the silverette go. He noticed Aidou looking over Shiki especially feeling his stomach, he activated his sensitive senses. He heard two heartbeats inside of Shiki. He almost dropped Zero when none of them knew that Shiki was with child. He walked a little faster trying to see what Aidou was going to say.
"He's okay," the doctor said bluntly. "Just that he'll have a warm blanket. Both he and Zero."
Kaname nodded and left not wanting Aidou to touch Zero. He walked inside the car, he put Zero in the back grabbing his light blue blanket and put it over Zero and Shiki when Takuma left him with the silverette. Kaname made sure to put the heater on high as he closed the door to investigate what was going on.
"They were chased down the highway after leaving Cross," Kain said looking at the satellite cameras from his computer.
"It's a male according to the figure, I can't seem to really see the face. All I know is that it's male judging by the well-built body." Aidou said also from his computer, he was next to Kaname's car for when the vampires needed him.
"Hmm," Takuma glared wanting to know what was Aidou hiding from him. He would have to corner the electric-blue eye vampire later.
Zero woke up to an unfamiliar place, the room was dark and he didn't recognize it one bit. He turned his face to the side only to meet Shiki's now awake face. It looked like the teen just woke by the huge yawn and stretching. As if he just realized he was awake he went to his stomach and smiled feeling the heartbeat beat strong inside of him. Zero smiled seeing the other man smile and gently rubbed small circles around as if to assure that the baby's mom is alright.
"I'm glad he/she didn't die." Shiki smiled lovingly.
"Does Takuma know?" Zero asked.
Shiki shook his head no, "I was going to tell him after we got home. I made Aidou promise me that I will tell him. He will know." Shiki smiled.
"But why would you work as a caregiver then, lifting up the residents will make you have a miscarriage." Zero panicked.
"Not really, you see our body get's stronger and we can lift heavy objects without hurting the baby. The only thing that can make me have a miscarriage is if something like a bullet or anything extremely sharp would hit where the baby is." Shiki smiled knowing that his baby was well protected by a barrier.
"That's cool," Zero said as he sat up with a wide smile.
"Right," Shiki smiled.
They heard the door slam open making them flinch, they looked to see Takuma looking disheveled and with bags under his slightly red eyes. He hugged Shiki and buried his nose on his mate's neck calming his beast within him. Once the beast calmed down he smiled, eyes going back to emerald. Shiki smiled as he nuzzled into his mates neck smiling.
Zero got up and left knowing that Shiki needed to talk to his mate. He gently close the door and walked to where he thought was the living room. He didn't get far when the brunette pureblood turned the corner and bumped into Zero by 'accident'. Zero looked up seeing that it was the man from the hospital.
"Kaname Kuran," the brunette didn't know if the silverette knew his name, it was worth a try.
"Zero," he said looking at the outstretched hand before him. He knew that Kaname already knew him, just to be polite, knowing Yuki would scold him if he was not polite.
"Oh my God! I'm going to be a daddy!" both men looked at the closed-door with a sweat-drop on the side of their heads.
"Looks like he told him," Kaname mused when he heard happy shouts.
It didn't take long before Takuma burst outside the door with sparkles in the background, that's what Zero would have sworn he had seen. Shiki came out embarrassed looking down, if it weren't for the pink tint of his cheeks he would have thought that Shiki would show nothing.
"Kaname, I'm going to be a dad! I'm so happy!" Takuma smiled looking at his leader with bright eyes and a toothy grin showing his fang.
"That's wonderful, congratulations," Kaname smiled patting the blonde's back.
"Thanks," Takuma hugged Shiki and nuzzled him making Shiki feel a bit embarrassed.
Zero snickered watching a flushed Shiki trying to get out of Takuma's hold. He really was glad for them, but still Zero sort of didn't want Shiki to work with him because of his pregnancy. He would want to tell Cross soon, heh, if hell froze over that would be the day when Zero would ask him for a favor.
"Okay, this is easy." Shiki smiled when he wheeled in a resident after a week of working here.
Zero was glad that Shiki got it fast. He stared at the girl who blushed as she saw the russet-haired man with an emotionless face give a ghost of a smile. Zero rolled his eyes and went to go see which resident paged him. He called to the girl saying that he'll be back, the building was divided into four sections. There were the hundreds, two hundreds, three hundred, and four hundreds sections, so they had four caregivers for each section. He was going to the three hundreds section.
Zero opened the door to see that the man was sitting down with a smile on his face. He went towards him and noticed a person next to him, it was a woman a year or two older than him. She was very beautiful with long strawberry-blonde hair, and deep cobalt eyes. She looked like a model tall, elegant, slender and her pale skin from not letting the sun hit it shined.
"Ah Zero m'boy, this is my granddaughter Mary. The reason why you haven't known each other was because you always worked at night and she would come early in the day to visit me." the man had a smile on his wrinkled face.
"Mary,"
"Zero,"
The silverette saw her smile showing perfectly straight teeth and he did as well. Something in him told him to run, he didn't know what was happening, when he saw her smile. It reminded him of the time when he was small and got dared to go inside the scary abandon house no one has entered. He, knowing his manners smiled back.
"Now I wanted you to take care of her while I'm out at the laboratory." the man said as he slowly got up and made his way towards the door.
"Huh, can't she stay here I have work," Zero said helping the man with his walker.
"Nah, I already talked to Cross and he smiled agreeing to the idea." the man slowly made his way down the hall way.
Zero tried to catch up to him and a slender hand stopped him as it embraced it to an equally soft body. Zero looked down to see Mary smile at him, her cobalt eyes shined a mysterious way. Zero got lost in them and began to lead her into to a small and quick tour making it boring as possible.
"And this is where they have their daily exercise only Mondays through Fridays. Happy Hour, birthdays and etc, happen here." Zero said looking at the clock seeing that the residents were making their way towards the dinning hall for lunch.
"Interesting, I've only been here for a couple of days. This week was a mess when I was at Atlanta taking a shoot for clothes that are coming out during the fall. Grandpa would talk about a pretty silverette taking care of him at night and I wanted to meet you. So it was nice meeting you Zero, I would love to take you to dinner after you're done working." Mary smiled at him leaning forward.
"I'm busy," Zero said knowing what she really wanted.
"Zero!" said man looked up to see Shiki call him not noticing Mary's scowl look on her beautiful face.
"Shiki, hey your resident's are all here, good." Zero smiled as he noticed the russet-haired man rub his stomach a bit before noticing the other person.
Both nodded to each other, Zero saw them shake hands and introduced each other. Shiki realized that her arm wrapped around Zero's, he frown slightly not liking Mary's arm around Zero. He noticed that she is a noble vampire, just like him. And she noticed his pregnancy right away with a smirk looking at his abdomen making him cover it with his hand.
"Zero~"
"What do you want Cross?" Zero looked at the happy-go-lucky man.
"I've told you so many times to call me dad!" Kaien sobbed looking at the floor.
"Never," Zero glanced at him with a glare.
"{sniff, sniff} Fine, just go get the residents busy. I need to go get ready when Kaname gets here, we need to discuss over something." Kaien sighed looking serious all of a sudden.
"Oh, you guys finally caught it?" Zero asked looking at Mary who was eyeing Shiki up and down.
"Yup, and Kaname wanted to see what he wanted. I'm afraid nothing good will come out." Kaien said taking his leave.
"Zero,"
"I'll see you some other time, right now I have to get back to work." Zero didn't look at the woman and left with Shiki following him and looking behind noticing a glaring look at him. he smirked and turned away helping Zero to bring the residents in.
"We've tried to do everything and he will not talk. We've tortured him, maim him, everything and he still will not talk." Kaname said resting both elbows on the desk and resting his chin on his back hands.
"Damn, he will not be giving us the information we need." Kaien frowned.
"We hope that Toga would help us, but to no avail." Aidou said looking around the picture decorated room and noticed all of young Yuki and Zero along with another boy with sandy hair.
"Well, if we don't get anything from him, we'll kill or lock him. Although I rather kill him personally." Takuma's eyes burned red.
"The bastard's dying already," Aidou said looking once more at them.
"If he is dying, then we'll keep reviving him until he spills. We can't let him die in peace." Takuma snickered making Aidou and Kain shift uncomfortable.
"We still have to keep Zero under watch. Shiki has noticed that the following had died out. But he could sense someone powerful trying real hard to hide their identity." Kaname said slowly looking at the pictures laid out on the private room inside Kaien's office.
"In order to trap him, we need Zero to be alone for a while longer-"
"He killed a couple with two kids at the park last night, the man was one of the middle school boys." Kaname said with an almost depressed voice seeing the two children, two innocent children ripped apart.
"No way, and what is he looking for?" Kaien asked looking worried.
"All he needs is the twins and the hooded child. We found out that you adopted Zero, Ichiru and Kaito. We did a lot of research and they were at the park that same day, and time my home exploded. Rido has killed these people." Kaname said showing the same video they watched.
Kaien saw it, and yes that was Zero, Ichiru and Kaito, they had gone to see their little friend by the park. Kaito had his hood up because he didn't like to get his hair cut and had accidentally move making the man shave a part of his head. They had to shave Kaito because of that accident. Kaito refused to go out without a protection on his bald head. He saw the man trying to call the cops and shoved the kids right behind them. He remembered that the police had brought the kids home and was asked questions.
"Yes, that's definitely my kids," Kaien said looking scared all of a sudden.
"We need them to be very careful," Kaname said looking at Kaien in the eyes.
"Ichiru is on vacation with his mate Shizuka. He'll be coming back by the end of this month." Kaien said getting the phone.
"And Kaito?" Aidou asked looking back of the pictures. He noticed twins more up in the middle.
"He's sleeping, I'll just leave him a message." Kaien said taking his phone to a corner talking.
Kaname crossed his arms looking outside the fake wall, he could see a perfect garden, he smiled to himself. He noticed Zero helping a woman come back inside. He watched the younger man taking a hold of the woman, he smiled to her talking making her laugh a bit. The woman patted his arm with her fragile hand. Kaname smiled when Zero looked at her with the most dazzling smile ever. He wanted Zero to smile like that to him only, he wanted to hold his arm and be the one to walk around with him talking about sweet nothings.
"Alright, it's all settled now, we wait. Who is going to take care of Kaito?" Kaien asked looking at the beautiful men inside his office.
"I have a friend that can come, she's in Russia taking care of some business. Ruka and Rima are taking care of some private manners in Norway. She's been my friend since we were kids, don't worry she's trustworthy." Kaname said looking at his watch picking up everything.
"What does she do?" Kaien asked.
"She's a spy," Kaname shrugged texting said spy. "And I called Shizuka, that's why she will be staying even longer away from here until either Ichiru notices or gets bored."
"Thank you for taking care of my children," Kaien smiled.
"No problem, I have to go attend important matters now, have a good day." Kaname smiled looking at Kaien who smiled back and waved.
He walked out of the building smiling at Zero who smiled back, he inwardly sang when he noticed Zero's cheeks go a pale pink and looked away walking the old woman back inside the cool building. Kaname looked at his followers, he noticed Kain and Aidou walking closer to each other whispering something. Takuma stayed behind watching his mate work and he would take them home since Shiki's car is being repaired. Takuma would not leave him alone for a second. He walked taking his phone out noticing the name on the screen, he smiled putting it on his ear answering it.
I hope you all liked it! I don't know if I should post my other story up yet... Thank you all for reading! Review~ xD
