[Continuing on Kaname and Ayase]

Chapter 02: The Blood of a Prince

[Zero's POV]

I can't believe he would pick Kaname out of all the students of Cross Academy! He's so adorable and beautiful and I can't stand the fact that Kaname has him in his clutches! I can just imagine what kind of monstrous torturous things he would do to Ayase. And now Ayase thinks of as a bully.

…And also…every moment I see him or hear about him, my thirst for his blood increases and I would have to control myself. The worst time when I see him is when I have math with him. It's like I haven't had real blood in ages.

I grabbed a couple of blood tablets and forced them down my throat. But I then puked them up… Gosh, I can't stand this anymore! I need real blood!

I dashed out of my dorm room and ran towards Ayase's room. When I reached the dorm, I slowly opened the door and saw him sleeping soundly. My thirst cried for mercy. So I sprang to him and began to suck every last drop until I was satisfied. I kept on drinking and drinking. Nothing stopped me. I can feel the life in him fade away.

I pried my lips from his neck and looked at him. He looks dead, but he's not. He still has enough blood to be alive. So, I picked him up into my arms and carried him to my room.

By morning, all he can do was open his eyes. He was so weak and pale.

"…This is what you get for picking Kaname Kuran…" I said. I leaned down and bit him again.

But before I began to drink his blood, I heard the sound of my door ram open. I turned and saw Kaname. I can feel that his heart was pounding with anger. He saw that I had Ayase's blood on me and Ayase was as weak as a delicate kitten.

He pinned me to the wall as I drew my gun.

"Don't EVER touch him again! If you do, I swear I WILL KILL YOU!" Kaname yelled.

I then saw Hanabusa walk in and pick Ayase out of the bed. Ayase looked as limp as a dead person.

"Lord Kaname, please, let's go," Hanabusa said.

Kaname let go of me and turned to storm out of here.

[Ayase's POV]

I feel so drained…like someone or something drained the life out of me. I'm too weak to even open my eyes. It feels like I'm in a warm room in a warm and comfortable bed (a bed better than my own)… I can feel Kaname's warm hand cover mine.

"…Kaname…" I whispered.

"Lord Kaname, should we turn him into a vampire?" I heard Hanabusa say.

"…I guess we should…" Kaname said.

I opened my eyes and saw Kaname sitting beside me on my bed (or his bed apparently). He looked worried. "Kaname...?" I choked out.

He leaned down to me and caressed his soft palm on my cheek.

"Are you okay, Ayase?" he asked.

My eyes widened as the memory of Zero sucking the life out of me rushed back to me. Tears ran down my cheeks.

"Don't worry, Zero isn't here," Kaname said.

I smiled and gleamed to Kaname. I felt his soft hand touch my head. He's so gentle to me. I love him so much.

I then heard someone walk in through the door. I peaked over Kaname and saw Zero. He looked angry and held held his gun in his hand.

Hanabusa immediately pinned him to the wall. The gun hit the ground.

"What exactly do you intend to do with Ayase, Zero?" Hanabusa asked Zero with a sneer.

Zero's eyes were fixed on the gun on the ground. My body began to shake as Zero looked at the gun. His eyes then looked at Kaname, who shielded me from Zero.

"…I came here to kill Kaname…" Zero said.

I gasped and reached for Kaname. "Kaname!" I squealed. He embraced me and I wept in his arms.

"…I'll never let you touch him even if I die…Zero," Kaname scolded him.

Hanabusa dragged Zero out of the room and thrust him out. He locked the door and sighed.

"I'm so sorry, my Lord," Hanabusa said.

"No need to apologize, Hanabusa… He's the one who should apologize," Kaname said. He turned to me and smiled. He leaned over and kissed me. "Don't worry, Ayase, I will protect you."

I looked at Hanabusa and smiled at him. "Thank you, Hanabusa," I said to him.

"You are very welcome, Ayase," he said, smiling and bowing.

Kaname smiled and motioned Hanabusa to leave us in privacy.

"Where were you for the past four days, Ayase?!" Kasumi asked me, straightening his glasses as he was furious. We were on our way to our classes after I met up with him.

"I was with Dorm President Kuran. I was sleep-walking and he found me outside with a couple of scrapes. He said I shouldn't go to class being sleep-deprived," I said.

"What?! That's no excuse for being absent for four days! You have a mountain-high of homework!"

"Sorry," I said, narrowing my eyes.

When I got to Mr. Yagari's classroom, I saw Hanabusa and Akatsuki in the room. Only, they were in the back of the classroom. I guess they were keeping an eye on Zero...

Speaking of Zero, he was very far away from my seat. When I first got here, he was close to me.

That's the end of this chapter! Sorry to keep you waiting! I was so occupied on getting the Attack on Titan manga from that I almost forgot!
