Chapter 2

A/N We're talking slow alright. Nothing really happens here. Still, it's a natural break and I'm working on the next installment so please bear with me.


What was wrong with him! Zero stared moodily at the desk. The teacher droned on and class was boring. This morning was freaky. Did his thoughts of Kuran actually cause him to climax? The pureblood was his nemesis for Pete's sake! And he was a guy!

Although, Zero thought, as he poked at a loose corner of the binding of his textbook, the brunette vampire was very good-looking, beautiful even. All of the leeches were. It was probably some physiological way to ensnare their prey. Aghh! He was definitely not attracted to Kuran.

Classes were finally over for the day and Zero signed in relief. Only one task left and then he could retire to his room. Maybe tomorrow it would be as if this day had never happened. Zero scowled fiercely at the stupid fan girls. The way they mooned over the vampires was disgusting.

The gates to the Moon Dorm opened and, as if sensing Zero's mood, the girls were unusually subdued as the night students walked to class. Yuki was acting as she usually did, blushing and stammering at Kuran. Why did she get so flustered? What the hell did she see in him?

Zero glared at the tall vampire as he walked towards him, uncomfortably aware of his thoughts this morning and his reactions to them. Before the brunette could get close enough to speak, Zero turned on his heel and strode away into the school grounds.

Kaname watched the retreating figure thoughtfully, unconsciously admiring the contrast between the younger vampire's shoulders and his slender torso. What's with him tonight? Kaname thought. The pureblood suddenly realized the hunter must lead a lonely life. The prefect didn't have any friends other than Yuki and he pushed even her away. Small wonder he was moody and aggressive. What did Kiriyu do when alone? Maybe he should check on him later Kaname thought. Just in case the silver haired vampire was hungry. He couldn't have the hunter running around in full blood lust. Yes, Kaname decided as he headed to class. He would definitely seek out Kiriyu.
