Chapter 8: The Rescue
'Zero' it's the first thing that Kaname comes into his mind.
'There's something wrong with Zero. I can feel it' he cursed himself that he isn't there to keep Zero safe and the idiot who hurt his Zero 'I have to save her' with a speed faster than the speeding bullet. Kaname traced Zero's scent and there he sees Ruka and Sara smiling evilly at Zero who sprawled on the ground, unconscious. In the corner of his eyes, he also sees Lily was knocked out also. Kaname feels his blood boils with rage, protectiveness and possessiveness. Rage for Ruka and Sara; Protectiveness and Possessiveness for Zero.
Friend or not.
Pureblood or not.
Those two will pay dearly and severely for hurting his Zero.
"Ruka, Sara" he calls the vampires name.
His voice is calm and cold but deadly with a silent promise of pain.
He is livid.
His eyes are crimson.
"K-Kaname-sama" Ruka stuttered.
Her body becomes numb.
She feared for her life.
Kaname's expression and body language screams death.
"Who was the foul who hurt my Zero?" he walks towards them.
The air seems so heavy, the temperature drops, the trees are swaying and the ground shakes when Kaname walks to them.
"Kana…" Sara didn't even finish for whatever she wants to say when she was struck by unknown force that sent her to the ground. Ruka trembled in fear that both of her knees gave up.
Sara is a pureblood also but Kaname seems to disregard her status and use his power to her.
"Sara" at the sound of her name, Sara's breath hitched.
"Even if you're a pureblood, I am still more powerful and more influential between the two of us. Zero is mine. She belongs to no one but me. Attacking her means you rebel my laws. You hurt what's mine so I have the right to hurt you 100x more than you hurt her" he picks up Zero (bridal-style) and gives the two vampires his coldest glare. "I can kill you both here and now"
Ruka and Sara both trembled and tears of fear were cascading from their eyes.
"But I won't do that, not yet. I'll give you second chance to change your ugly attitudes and if ever you two will do that again, I'll kill you and throw your ashes in this forest to be fertilizers for the trees" he promise them and he mean it.
"No one dares to hurt what's mine" After that, Kaname walks back to the Moon Dorm, carrying Zero, leaving the two females shaking and sobbing with relief.
It's almost midnight when Zero wakes up.
"Ughhh…." Her head is pounding like she was hit by a truck.
Like she knows what's the feeling being hit by a truck. Yeah, right.
She cupped her head, trying to ease the hurt.
Her body feels a little bit sore.
"So the princess is awake" a familiar voice greeted her.
"What happen?" she choose to ignore the nickname.
Kaname smirk but his eyes are full of worry.
He walks toward Zero and sits beside her.
"You were attack by insane animals" he answer 'So Zero didn't see her attacker'
"I've already handle them. I can assure you; no one will hurt you in the future"
'I Promise' he added silently.
He raises his right hand to cup Zero's cheek.
Chocolate meets Amethyst.
Zero blushes when Kaname begin to stroke her face.
She didn't feel arguing with the pureblood right now.
"You save me?" she asks timidly.
Kaname only nodded.
"Thank you Kuran"
"Kaname"
"What?
"Call me Kaname"
Zero would argue if it weren't for Kaname's worried eyes.
For some reason, Zero felt her heart flutter.
"Okay, Kaname" and she was rewarded by a charming and real smile from the pureblood.
Zero's face is red as tomato.
Then she realized something.
Her expression looks frantic when she asks "Lily? What happen to her? Is she alright?" and when she is about to leave the bed, strong yet gentle hands stop her. She looks up and sees Kaname's gentle and loving gaze.
"She's okay. I already ask Ichijou to make sure she's okay" His gentle and warm voice sooths Zero's worry for Lily.
She nodded and asks another question "Where am I?"
"You're in my room"
"What?"
"Don't worry. I've already inform the chairman that your staying with me for tonight"
Zero looks at him with an odd expression in her face.
"WHAT? And what do you mean with you? I think I want to sleep in my bed tonight, thanks" She attempted to leave the bed again when Kaname stops her for the second time.
"Relax, I'm sleeping on the couch so no worries and I know your body still aches by the sudden attack" he assures Zero then teases her "Zero, do you want a stuff toy to hug. Can I be a substitute? I assure you I'm delectable and huggable"
Zero can feel her cheek heated and hisses "You do that and I'll shoot you"
Kaname pouts "Meanie"
Zero look shock when Kaname pouted at her 'Eh?'
'Did he?'
She narrowed her amethyst eyes "Who are you?"
Kaname merely raised an eyebrow.
"Who are you? And what did you do to Kaname?"
Kaname chuckled at Zero's antics "Oh, I can assure you Princess that I am Kaname Kuran"
He ruffled Zero's hair and added "Sleep well Princess, You need your energy for tomorrows practice"
Zero gaped when she heard that "Practice?"
"Of course, the upcoming ball is approaching fast. I need you to learn to dance by the time that day comes"
"Oh…" she looks down at her hands.
There's a comfortable silence between them when Kaname bid her goodnight.
"Goodnight Princess" Kaname walks to the couch but a hand grabs his wrist and stops his movement.
He looks down at Zero.
A shock expression on Kaname's face when she stops him.
"Zero?"
Zero just mumbled something.
Kaname is amused of Zero's adorable attitude towards him.
"What was that Princess?" he asked.
Zero's face is all red when she said "The bed is big"
"Yeah, I'm rich"
Zero's eyebrow twitched.
"You can take the other side if you want. I won't repeat myself. Goodnight" She hurriedly said it and covers herself with a blanket.
Kaname grin "Pardon?"
Zero fakes a slight snore.
Kaname can't help but chuckled, he really is happy that his Zero is starting to accept him.
He moves to other side of the bed and lays himself.
"Zero-rin is so cute" he mumbles to himself and faces at the window.
"Sweet dream, Princess" he closes his eyes and dream.
TBC…
