Flashback

This story is place when Zero was young. He was seven years old, the same age as his brother Ichiru. This story will tell you why Kaname want Zero for himself and how they first met.

Zero look inside the pond, seeing his reflection. Ichiru was sick so his mother doesn't allow Ichiru to go out and that means that Zero had to play all alone which is very boring. He was imagining Ichiru was inside the pond and start talking by himself. At first it was funny until it gets boring.

He laid down on the flower bed; look up at the wide blue sky. He reach out his hand imagine touching the skies and clouds. He started to daydream about him flying in the skies and travel around the world. Then suddenly he heard a voice, something is moving in the bushes. Since Zero like to be a little adventurous he decide to see what's going on.

He sneaks into the bushes and as he arrives at the other side, he sees a wounded boy lying on the grass. There was lot of blood all over his neck. Zero quickly ran toward him.

"Are you alive?" He says worriedly.

Zero checks his pulse, there was none so he thought it was too late but suddenly the boy fingers move.

"He's alive?" Zero says confusedly.

Zero take his white handkerchief and wipe the blood, it was surprise not to see any wound at all at the neck. There were only two small dots at the necks; it looks almost like a vampire bite. Since Zero is still little he doesn't know much about it.

The boy opens his eyes and look up at Zero who is looking very worry.

"Can you move?" Zero asks.

The boy nodded as his move his body in sitting position to prove it.

"I'm Zero, what's yours?"

Kaname show a sour face, he looks sad at the same time, he open his mouth and show two sharp fangs and give Zero a shriek.

"Wow, that some teeth you got." Zero calms himself down with a smile. The boy seems to be impressed that Zero didn't run away or scare to see it.

"I'm Kaname." He finally introduces himself. Zero look at the Kaname neck, quickly Kaname cover it with his hand.

"Are you okay Kaname, you're bleeding just now."

Kaname show his sweet smile. "It's nothing. Thank you for worrying."

They both smile at each other, before they knew it they become close friend in just one day. Zero show him around the mountain and Kaname smile to see his guide is a cute kid. Zero was happy to have someone to talk to other than he's parents.

"Where did you live Kaname?"

Kaname pointed at the north. "I live there and somehow I ended up here because of some business."

"Cool…. I wish to travel to see lots of things."

Kaname chuckle.

"I will take you there if you want."

"Really, you're the best. If Ichiru is not sick today I'm sure he will be happy to see you too." Zero smiles and hop on top of the stones.

"Who's Ichiru?" Kaname asks as he holds one of Zero hand so he won't fall.

"He's my twin brother." Zero reply as he jump toward Kaname.

"I see."

"Do you have a twin brother too?"

"No, i only have a sister.

He gave Zero a kiss at the lips, Zero blushes as Kaname did it.

"I thought only lover did that."

"Yes, so want to be mine Zero."

Zero shyly nodded, Kaname took Zero hand and place it around his neck.

"Hold on tight to me. I have to show you something." Kaname smile and jump down.

"Wow!" Zero scream since it was too incredible. A normal human won't be able to do this. Kaname carry Zero throughout the town and headed to the open road.

"Kaname…. I'm not allowed to leave or my parents will scold me."

"It's only for a little while, we be back before you knew it."

Zero can feel Kaname was moving in high-speed, the way the strong wind feels is amazing. They both arrive at an old dorm, Zero run inside. Kaname follow him; since the floor is old Zero almost fell down but Kaname catch him just in time before he hit the rusty nails.

"Don't run Zero…" Kaname advice. Zero blushes as Kaname help him up.

Kaname show him toward the basement, Zero spotted a piano and quickly went over there.

"Can I play, can I play?" Zero say cheerfully and he stretches his fingers.

"Sure, I want to hear your melody." Zero closes his eyes and takes a deep breath. He opens it back and begins to play a song.

Kaname listen to beautiful noted that come out, he was indeed surprise to see a young kid can play so well. Kaname join him and play at the other side, two song join as one. Zero clap as they had finish.

"You're amazing; do you have super powers or something?" Zero asks.

"Tell me Zero, have you ever heard of vampires?"

Zero shook his head.

"A vampire is a type of creäture that feed on blood, you can say that we don't eat normal food much since it's just a disguise. Our only food to survive is blood. Vampire is also the same as human, they eat, and they walk and have hands and legs. We vampires are much stronger and had sharper vision and scent."

"Can I be a vampire too?" Zero asks.

Kaname eyes were wide open in shock. Who would have thought a child that age like him says like that.

"I can make you a vampire if you want but there's one condition."

"What is it?"

"I want you to be by my side."

"Kaname…."

Kaname give Zero a gentle kiss and pull back.

"Do you love me Zero?"

"I do…"

Kaname smile and his happy tears came out, he put his hand around Zero feeling not letting him go.

"I really love you Zero."

The sun had begun to set; Kaname had return back Zero to his family. Even though he fell not letting Zero go but he had no choice.

"I will come back soon Zero."

"Okay." Zero gives Kaname a kiss at the cheek. Kaname slightly blush and disappear. Zero doesn't realize his twin brother is watching him from their bedroom window. Zero walk in his house thinking about telling his parents all about this, as he step inside he look at his parents who is standing before him. They're not smiling and greet him home like they always do.

"Mom…dad… what's wrong?" Zero asks. Then he spotted Ichiru also staring at him, he press his finger at his lips to show the sign so Zero shouldn't say anything.

"Zero… comes with mommy." She pulls her son wrist.

"Mom…It hurts." She ignore Zero complain. "Mom, what are you doing?" Zero says as he saw his mom taking out something sharp from the drawer.

"I'm sorry Zero but you must forget everything about the vampire."

"NO! DON"T!" then Zero was unconscious. He didn't see Ichiru smiles to see his parents are erasing Zero memories using the special tool.

END FLASHBACK

Zero wake up and see him on a bed, wearing long sleeve shirt with collar and button and wearing loose pants. He turns around and sees Kaname smile and hold his hand. The smile that he had long forgotten,

"Zero…. Welcome home."

Zero gives Kaname a sweet smile, the same smile like those years ago.

"I'm home Kaname."

He had remember everything, Kaname did the ritual in the first place was because he love Zero. Zero can't hold back his guilt of forgetting Kaname. He acts so cold to Kaname but Kaname still love him.

"Can we start over again?"

"If that is you wish Zero." Kaname kiss Zero hand.

"Can you take me there? The place you promise to bring me that time."

"I remember Zero. Right now, rest first. We will go once you wake up."

Zero closes his eyes once more, feeling something warm touching his lips. He knew it was Kaname but decide not to do anything about it. He's tired right now…..and need more sleep. He wants to open his eyes but his eyelids are getting to heavy. His surrender and let it take over. Kaname was happy and glad to hear Zero say that, he was glad to have Zero by his side again.

"I love you."
