*Chapter 16*

+The Night Class+

The night was still as the wind slipped through the depressed leaves. Even the moon seemed to look dark on this night. The grounds of Cross Academy were even more silent on this night than usual. All of the security lights were turned off. No guardians walked along the side walk making sure the Night Class were in classes. No hoots from owls or the occasional sound of a cricket filled the air. Even the Day Class girls weren't wandering. All was silent, and deadly. After resisting to bite Yori, Yuki had cut herself and drank the blood that had slipped down her finger and ran away from the room as fast as she could.

The blond had been sitting in class when the most delightful scent since Zero's hit his nostrils. He asked the teacher to go the bathroom and walked out the door before he received an answer. He sniffed the air and followed the smell to the main courtyard. Aidou had found Yuki outside under a willow near the fountain. He was so hungry that the red smudges on her lips and finger plus the still present smell of blood made his fangs elongate.

"Cross, what are you doing out here?" Aidou said as he stepped closer unconsciously. His blue eyes were now red as the blood he wanted. Aidou tilted his head to the side. Something was off about the prefect. The guardian now had long hair and her skin had grown paler since he last saw her three hours ago. She was breathing hard and her eyes seemed to have a red tint to it also. "Cross?" Yuki continued to wheeze. Her bloodlust was out of control and taking over every inch of her consciousness. She burried her face in her hands, trying to calm her racing heart.

"Aidou.....get away!" Yuki growled in warning. The blond had stepped even closer, being a few feet away.

"Hey, what's wrong with you?" Aidou wondered. Kaname-sama would kill him if the prefect died on his watch. The noble vampire crouched down on the dirt in front of her. Yuki growled again from her hands. Suddenly, Aidou was scratched sharply across the face and his own blood started to flow.

"Hey! What was that for?! All I was trying to do was help!" Aidou snarled himself. He brought a hand to his tender cheek. "For the last time, what is-" His sentenced was cut off as he was pinned to the ground and Yuki clawing at his face. Bloodlust forgotten, Aidou blocked the claws as he noticed fangs and the wild look in Yuki's eyes.

Oh shit.

Yuki snarled as she reached again for Aidou's pretty face. Confusion was provident in the now clear blue eyes. Cross was a vampire? Did Kaname bit her without the Night Class' knowledge?

"Hey stop this madness! Get a hold of yourself. Cross!"Aidou yelled. Hoping one of the other vampires will hear his distress, the blond finally caught the offending appendages and held them still. Then Yuki started to bite at the air near his neck. He held her as far as he could with her on his body.

"I...." Yuki struggled to get a hold of herself. She stopped the biting and breathed heavily in Aidou's face. "I need blood."

"What?" Aidou blinked. Did the prefect say she need blood? "You mean..." Blood red eyes stared in to his angered red ones and then something clicked. The unbelievable strength to throw him down, the delicious smelling blood even for a human, the only reason why Kaname-sama would even be interested in her and the red eyes made sense. Aidou mentally bashed his head against the wall.

"You're a vampire."

+Zero+

Another pang went through him as Melanthios came closer with Igorek. Zero didn't know what went through his mind at that moment. Why did he call out and just what was he going to do with the stranger his faithful guardian was carrying?

Both Igorek and Melanthios had heard the order. Without taking his eyes off the precious cargo in his hand, Melanthios carried Igorek to the bed and lifted the black veil to reveal the weak prince and his eggs. The two loyalist broke their eye contact. Peridot eyes landed on the figure of what he deemed a god. Despite his unending beauty, you can tell Zero was exhausted. The dark circles under his eyes told Igorek about lack of sleep and from what skin he saw, the prince was unusually skinny.

"Come here please." Zero's voice cracked as he whispered. He just wanted to sleep the past few months of his life away. He groaned as another wave of pain came over him. Melanthios frowned. He knew his master must be tired, especially from just giving birth but it didn't looked this bad when he last checked. Melanthios set Igorek on the canopy bed and he watched Zero reach out heartbreakingly frail. Zero's had trembled. "I..."

With all the strength he had left, Igorek crawled over to where Zero was laying. The prince had barely moved an inch since he laid his eyes on him and it troubled him. He crashed on to the soft furs a few inches away from Zero breathing hard. Coughing a bit, he grabbed Zero's hand and kissed it."My prince I am here to serve you in any way I can." Igorek brought the delicate hand to his chest. Zero struggled with himself. How could he ask to have blood when the other vampire was in much need of it himself. It had been almost two weeks since he had any real blood. He was hungry all the time when he was pregnant but when he did get some blood he threw most of it up. Now that it was over, his body was famished and he was pretty sure the blood reserves the other vampires had were empty as his stomach. Since when did he give into the desires of the beast he needed to control so easily? True, he was feeding the little ones that were inside, but he still drunk human blood.

Yuki...

He had hated it when he had fed from her and he still shuddered when he though about taking blood from another living thing to live. So what he was about to do screamed in every fiber of his being but his instincts also pushed back.

Igorek watched as the prince closed his eyes and struggle to do something. He felt so helpless not being able to do anything himself. "Please....is there anything I can do to ease your suffering?" The prince's hand had felt more frail than it looked and his soul was begging for something to do.

"What is your name?" Zero asked.

"Igorek." The other vampire dutifully replied.

Zero slowly opened his eyes coming to a conclusion. He rolled over Igorek and bent down to his ear. "I'm sorry." It was all he said before Igorek felt gentle fangs in his neck. The Russian vampire closed his eyes and he felt the tender licks against his neck from time to time. He soon slipped into unconsciousness again. Melanthios had watched all of this with sad eyes. He also wanted to ease Zero's suffering.

Zero stopped after a couple more gulps and leaned back to look into the young face of the vampire before him. He bit his lip and placed a soft kiss on the vampire's lips. If his hunter training didn't steer him wrong, then this should seal the vampire as his own in a bond. "This is the least I can pay you after all this." He would find a way to repay Takuma as well even if still didn't like the idea of himself as a vampire, he was too tired to fight against it any longer.

"Thankyou Melanthios." Zero called out. Melanthios smiled and shut the canopy curtains.

"No problem, master." He said. Zero snuggled into Igorek as darkness took him over as well. He was so tired.
