Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Vampire Knight. All that is mine is this little plot bunny.
A/N: Here is the next chapter. Sorry it took so long to get out. Please read, enjoy, and comment. :D
Betrayal
His body was stiff, skin white from tension. Sweat clung to his brow as it slowly rolled down defined features. His lips parted and fragments of a name not quite heard escaped in small whimpers. Tossing and turning, silk sheets got tangled in smooth creamy legs. With a startled gasp, weary eyes flew open as he shot into an upright position. (A/N: sounds like the first chapter huh? Lol)
"ZERO!" he screamed.
Palming his face, Kaname tried to control his erratic breathing. The flashes of a tortured Zero kept flashing before his eyes, taunting him with his inability to protect someone again. Growling in anger at his own weaknesses, his eyes flashed crimson before a cracking sound was heard to his left. Eyes widening, Kaname glanced to the side and saw his loss of control had shattered the picture window beside his bed. Wincing, he hoped no one was around to hear the shattering window.
Breathing a sigh of relief when he heard no footsteps running toward his room, Kaname moved to get out of the bed, realizing he was still in his soiled pajama bottoms. However, before he could move to far, something tugged him back. Head whipping around, Kaname realized it wasn't a something he was caught on but a someone. The night's past events flashed through his mind as his mouth parted.
"Zero!" he shouted again.
A groan resounded through the room as bleary lilac eyes slowly blinked open. Sighing in relief, Kaname calmed his racing heart.
Hazy lilac eyes opened slowly, staring at Kaname is slight confusion, "Kana…me?"
"Yes Zero?"
Suddenly Zero bolted upright, confusion and anger burning brightly in his eyes. Throwing himself from the bed, he looked around wildly, eyes darting back and forth as though looking for enemies.
Kaname eased himself from the bed, moving cautiously as to not set Zero off, "Zero… What is it?" he asked calmly.
"What the fuck Kuran! Where the hell am I?" Zero demanded, eyes as hard as ice.
Kaname drew in a sharp shaky breath. Of course Zero would throw his sincerity in his face… It was just like him.
"What do you mean Kiryu?" Kaname asked coldly.
"I mean what the fuck am I doing in BED with you! What did you do to me you blood sucking bastard!" Zero shouted.
"I did nothing to you Kiryu, only brought you up to my room after you were injured," Kaname spoke calmly once more, trying to diffuse the situation.
Zero opened his mouth to speak once more but was interrupted by a knock at the door. His head whipped toward the door, cursing himself inwardly for leaving his back open.
"What is it Takuma?" Kaname called.
The door opened slowly as Takuma cautiously glanced inside, "Is everything ok? Kaname? Zero?"
"Every is fi-," Kaname began to say.
"NO! Everything is not FUCKING OK!" Zero shouted hysterically.
Both vampires turned their attention to Zero. His eyes were wide and slightly glazed with a hysterical gleam. His eyes kept dancing back and forth between Kaname and Takuma, never stopping to actually focus on one of the other. His breathing was erratic as he clenched and unclenched his fists.
"Zero?" Takuma questioned softly as he took a step toward the level D.
Quick as lightning, Bloody Rose was in Zero's hand and pointed toward Takuma's forehead. Everything in the room seemed to freeze at the show of hostility.
"Kiryu, put the gun away," Kaname ordered harshly.
Zero's eyes narrowed dangerously, "Get back vampire."
As Takuma stepped away from Zero, Zero's eyes and gun followed his progression. Stepping slowly toward the door, Zero kept the gun trained on both vampires. Takuma stared in confusion as Kaname just looked emotionless. Both of them were confused, but being the pureblood he is, Kaname refused to show it… Or the pain in his heart.
"Now… I'm going to leave and forget this fucked up situation ever happened. If I hear a whisper of it from either the humans or your little vampires, I there will be blood Kuran," Zero threatened.
Nodding once, Kaname responded, "Of course Kiryu."
With a nod, Zero threw the door open and disappeared from their sights.
The sound of something shattering came from behind Kaname and Takuma. Takuma's whipped around and could only stare in shock at the mess of shattered glass laying on the floor from the destroyed picture window. Turning to look at Kaname, his eyes widened it both surprise and horror.
Kaname stood there with gleaming crimson red eyes as his fangs protruded past his lips. To say Kaname was mad would be a severe understatement.
"Kaname-sama?" Takuma questioned softly.
Eyes fading to devoid rosewood, Kaname looked at his friend and saw his frightened and shocked face. Taking deep even breaths, he forced himself to calm down.
Only once his fangs retracted did Takuma dare to speak, "What just happened Kaname?"
Sighing softly and forlornly, Kaname could only whisper, "I have no idea Takuma… I showed him everything and he threw it back in my face… It is unforgivable, not his betrayal… but my weakness."
Turning away from Takuma, Kaname just stared at the wall. He thought back on how caring Zero had been. How Zero had suffered because of him… How he himself had suffered due to his own weakness… He would never allow that weakness again.
"You may go Ichijo," Kaname's emotionless voice sounded.
Eye widening, Takuma bowed, "Of course Kaname-sama."
Leaving the room, Takuma could only think how neither Kaname nor Zero would ever be the same again… And neither would anyone else.
END!
