Thank you to everyone who reviewed or added this to story/author alerts/favs. The fact that people want to read this and have taken the time to review/add to alerts/favs makes me very happy. I haven't yet got round to replying to reviews but am going to do so. I am also very sorry this chapter took so long to come out, it was meant to be posted on the 22nd, when I had finally finished my exams!, but it wasn't complete and then life got in the way of completing it before now (there were a few parts that didn't make sense because part way through I changed what was happening so bits didn't make that much sense anymore)
Also I finally have changed the summary! It's essentially still the same but it gives a better idea of the story better now than before. (The previous chapters still have the old summary though)
Summary: Zero and Kaname have always been similar, with similar traumatic experiences and pasts. Both are drawn to one another, though they are loath to admit it. As they both know the biggest difference Zero is a level D, who will one day fall to level E, while Kaname is a pureblood. However a new Day Class student seems to have hidden secrets which concern Zero, and when the truth is revealed the changes it brings about throw them into the greatest danger ever possible.
This will be a Yaoi fic, which is M/M with ZeroXKaname and vice versa. There will possibly be some TakumaXShiki as well. Some possible other pairings but Kaname/Zero Zero/Kaname will be the main one. This will mostly be Romance, Drama and possibly Humour.
A.n. This is slightly AU as Ichiru died when Shizuka was killed and Zero has not got any of her blood– so there is nothing to stop Zero falling to level E. Kaname hasn't yet given Zero any blood and Yuki is still human. Also Rido hasn't yet attacked the academy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or its characters, they are the work of Matsuri Hino, I am just borrowing them for the purpose of this fic. All I own are my own characters and the plot line.
There is OOCness and switching of pov's.

Chapter 3 – True Feelings
Later that night
At Class Change over
The sun was just beginning to set as the Night Class walked to class that night and Kaname was surrounded by the rest of the Night Class, as they headed for lessons. There were less Day Class girls around as they had only arrived that day and many were just getting settled in. Therefore the Disciplinary Committee members had slightly easier job than usual, however there were still plenty of girls who were there. Yuki was having a hard time keeping her side of the line of girls in order. This wasn't a however was never a problem for Zero, who simply glared at any girl who dared to step out of line towards the Night Class and they almost always stepped back. Alanna also surprisingly wasn't having too much trouble, she had taken the end of Yuki's line, nearest the Moon Dorms. While she didn't have the 'ultimate authority glare' Zero possessed, none of the other girls trying to push past her managed to get past. Any that tried to physically push her out the way were given a strong glare which while not as intimidating as Zero's was still off-putting enough and most moved back. As the Night Class moved through, to class, the girls became more rowdy. One tall blond tried to push Alanna out the way, to scream at Aido, as she tried to push past Alanna completely stepped in front of the girl, Yuki would have been knocked over, but Alanna wasn't and remarked coldly
"If you don't stop creating such as fuss, the Night Class may be forced to leave the school, so stay back! And remove yourself from my foot!"
"Like you'd know whether the Night Class would have to leave, just because you're on the Disciplinary Committee! You're just like Kiryu!" The girl retorted but still did move back, removing her foot from on top of Alanna's.
The Night Class stared in exclamation. Apart from Kaname and his inner circle, none of the other vampires knew about the new disciplinary committee member, and even Kaname's inner circle only knew there was a new guardian but little about her. To see her acting similar to Zero was just plain odd. Most thought that there could never be a girl who could act in that manner, seems they were wrong!
"Who is that girl? She's glaring at the other Day Class girls, like Kiryu-kun does!" The whispers rung through the Night Class, while the Day Class simply raged at being held back from 'their' precious Night Class. Kaname walked through the raging girls seaming oblivious to those around him, until he drew level with the three guardians,
"Thank you, Yuki, Alanna Kinoto, Kiryu. Good work disciplinary committee."
"You should go to class Kuran."
"Yes I suppose I should Kiryu."
And with that Kaname turned to follow the Night Class towards the school building.
"Zero honestly Kaname was only thanking us, why are you so cold to him!"
"Oh shut up Yuki, we all have to go and patrol now."
The trio then left the now empty gateway to patrol the campus.
Kaname's pov
I don't know what to think, the new girl - Alanna Kinoto – she acts so similarly to how Zero acts even their angry expressions are similar. While their actions may be similar, in looks they don't look at all related. Alanna has long brown curls and hazel eyes, while Zero…handsome was to weak a word for it - that silver hair and exquisite amethyst eyes. An out and out beauty really, if only Zero had Alanna's attitude to vampires! – Particularly purebloods, but he hates them with a passion. If only he didn't...then I might have been able to confess, but it would only end badly for me if it doesn't end in my actual death. Why did I have to fall for someone who hates vampires and actually hunts them, even now when they're a vampire them self!
Later that night, about to go in after patrol
Normal pov
The sun had set some time ago and the grounds off Cross Academy were shrouded in darkness, as the night sky was blanketed by thick clouds effectively and completely blocking any chance of light from the moon reaching the school. Perhaps that was why it had been so quite tonight, or perhaps it was because the first night of school since summer. Whatever it was a slightly rare conclusion to the night had come to occur, which was that rather than hauling Day Class students up for breaking curfew or Night Class students for wandering around out of lesson, all the guardians had finished patrolling for the night without incident and now Zero, Yuki and Alanna had just met up outside the Headmasters quarters to go in.
"Tonight was really quiet I'm glad we've finished now though cos I'm tiered. Are you tired too Alanna-chan? You shouldn't get used to it being that quiet though usually there is at least one incident a week often more!"
"I'm a bit tiered, but I'm used to staying up late so it's not to big a deal for me, as for the usual incidents ~ tonight is only the first night of term!"
Zero and Yuki exchanged glances both remembering how on the first night of last term the Day Class had been so fired up about being back with the Night Class there had been at least five separate incidents in one night alone. Alanna however missed there looks yawning "I do usually get to sleep before now though!" she brushed her hair back from her face then gasped in shock "Oh no!"
"What?" asked Yuki and Zero in surprise
"My locket! It's not here! I must have lost it somewhere! I have to find it!"
Alanna tried to run back in the direction she'd been on while on patrol Zero reached out and grabbed her arm
"Don't be stupid! You'll never find it, the grounds are huge, besides its pitch black out there, and it's really late you should look for it tomorrow if you have to!" Zero sighed honestly girls they're all the same going of without thinking about what they were doing!
Meanwhile Alanna was trying to free herself from Zero's grip on her arm
"I have to find it now! It's really important to me!" Alanna struggled tears colleting in her eyes a beginning to roll down her face
"How on earth will you find it out there?! You simply can't, not now, what's so important that you'd risk getting lost or spending all night in the woods anyway?!"
Alanna wiped her eyes with her free hand trying to stop crying
"It's has the only picture of my real family in it and the last picture of me with my adoptive family! The headmaster gave them to me.-"
"The headmaster can give you new copies and get you a new locket!"
Alanna shook her head and stopped even trying to stop crying managing to choke out
"He might have other copies of the pictures, but the locket…It's an old family heirloom and it's the only thing really have from my real parents, it's the last thing they gave me. I'd always liked it my mum gave it to me when I was really little and said she'd worn it when she was younger and her mum had worn it before. It was always passed on to the eldest daughter and now…I've lost it!"
Zero released Alanna's arm and Yuki put her arm around her in a comforting manner glaring at Zero.
"Sorry." Zero muttered
"We should go to the headmaster, he can't get the locket back but we can see about looking for it, okay?" Yuki asked Alanna
"Alright, since I have no idea where it is." Alanna replied still looking as if she wished she could run back into the woods though
Yuki and Alanna went in to the headmaster's quarters to try and find the headmaster. Zero however remained outside.
Zero's pov
I guess that explains why she wants' the locket back, but she'd never find it now, its way to dark and she could have lost it anywhere. I've never seen a locket with her though, only the Cross Academy emblem necklace.
Normal pov
Alanna and Yuki had now found the headmaster in his office still working despite the fact it was now very late, it seems he had a extra work to do due to term having just started.
"Kaien Cross, I have to ask something…"
Kaien looked over, laying down his pen, and was very surprised to find Alanna crying and Yuki trying to comfort her
"What's wrong Alanna?!"
"My…hic…locket…hic…the…one...hic…with…the…pictures…in… I've…hic…lost…it."
"She say's she had a very important locket, with a picture of her real parents and her adoptive parents in."
"Oh…" Kaien said slowly he knew exactly which locket Alanna had lost now "Alanna I have other copies of those pictures I can give you…but I obviously don't have a new locket. I'll get the pictures now."
Kaien laid a comforting hand on Alanna's shoulder before disappearing to search through the boxes of old stuff, and returning with two A5 size pictures.
"I don't have any small pictures, like the ones in your locket, but you can have these Alanna." He said handing them over, both were in small old fashioned metal frames. Yuki looked over Alanna's shoulders at the two pictures.
The one in Alanna's right hand showed a youngish blond couple, the woman had sadness in her blue eyes and the man looked a little fearful but both were managing to smile, while holding a very young, Yuki estimated to be only a few weeks old, silver haired baby boy each. There was a small silver haired girl stood between them. She looked a little worried but was smiling for the camera and had large violet eyes.
The second picture in Alanna's left hand was different, it showed another young couple both brunettes the man was holding a small brunette girl in his arms and the woman placed her hands on a young boys shoulders, the boy had his hands linked with a small golden haired girl. Yuki looked harder before realising the golden haired girl was obviously Alanna. Yuki guessed the first picture to be Alanna's adoptive family and the second picture to be Alanna with her real family, the boy in the picture looked very familiar come to think of it both the adults looked a little familiar, Yuki didn't have time to process if the girl looked familiar, or consider why the others looked familiar, as a large tear splashed on to the glass of the second picture and Alanna hugged both pictures to her chest.
"Thank you Kaien, I'm really glad you had other copies of these pictures. Though I'm still upset about the locket, so I think I'll have a look for it tomorrow, though it would be nice to keep these pictures even if I do find the locket."
"Of course you can keep those pictures Alanna!"
"And I'll help you look for the locket Alanna and I'll make Zero help too. Maybe we could ask Kaname I'm sure he'd help too. By the way what does the locket look like? I've never seen you wearing one."
"I wear it all the time, but the chain makes it hang lower than my collar so that's why you've never seen me wearing one."
Kaien who at some point had left the room reappeared holding a third picture.
"This is Alanna while living with her adoptive parents, I knew I'd seen a picture of her that showed the locket clearly, and this is it."
Yuki looked at the picture, it showed a younger version of Alanna smiling at the camera, she was wearing a plain dress and hanging down from her neck on a delicate chain was an ornate silver oval locket, designed with a decorative flower, bordered by a ring of vines a small catch was just visible on one side. It was big for a locket about the probably about 6cm from top to bottom and 3cm from the catch at the side to the other side. Yuki gasped it was the nicest locket she'd ever seen, of it had been her she'd probably have been extra upset about it and that wasn't even counting in that it was a family heirloom.
Meanwhile on the way back from class
By the Moon dorms gates
Kaname was walking a little behind the rest of the class when he spotted something that glittered and almost sort of glowed slightly violet in the moonlight. Bending down his hands closed over a cool object that fit easily into the palm of his hands. Kaname tried to study it to see what it was, but Aido chose that moment to turn and ask why Kaname was at the back of the group. Kaname wasn't sure what the object was but didn't really want Aido to see it so quickly dropped it into his jacket pocket and hurried to the front of the group.
When they had got inside Kaname went to his room and turning on the light took the object from his pocket. He could now see it was a fairly large silver oval shaped locket on a delicate chain. He turned it over running his finger over the design on the front which was a flower bordered by vines. Looking closer he realised the design looked very familiar though why he had no idea. He guessed it must belong to one of the Day Class girls, he should hand it in to the headmaster. However for some reason the locket intrigued him and finally curiosity however got the better of him, he turned it to the small lock and tried to click it open however when he tried the locket heated up and a sharp pain shot through his hand just what was that about! Sighing he dropped the 'evil' locket on to his desk resolving to give it to the headmaster tomorrow morning as it was too late tonight.
That morning
Kaname's room in the Moon Dorms.
Takuma was the only vampire awake, as birds began to twitter and the sun began to make it's way through cracks in the curtains. He then remembered that Kaname had requested that he come and wake him up in the morning before Day Class began as he had to see the Headmaster, so Takuma made his way to Kaname's room. When he was standing outside Kaname's dorm room he knocked on the door. When he didn't get a reply he slowly pushed the door open to see Kaname hadn't woken up he stepped over to wake him when a silver object on the desk caught his eye. He looked closer realising it was a locket. He was sure he had seen it and more specifically the design on it before, but he was equally sure it wasn't Kaname's.
At that moment Kaname chose to awaken "Takuma, I didn't realise it was time to get up." He yawned rubbing his eyes brushing dark chocolate locks back from his face.
"Yes, if you want to see the headmaster before Day Class begins you should go now. By the way what is that locket?"
"I don't know I found it on the way back from class last night. It must belong to one of the Day Class girls, if I give it back to the Headmaster he should get it back to its owner."
"Oh…"
With that Kaname stood up to get dressed and Takuma left the room. When he was dressed Kaname headed straight to the Headmasters quarters the locket in his hand, dodging the sunlight patches on his way despite the fact that it was only very weak early morning sun it still served to aggravate Kaname's skin especially since he had just awoken. When he arrived at the Headmasters office he was surprised to see Yuki and Alanna talking to him. He heard Yuki saying something then Alanna's voice
"I have to find it, I feel so lost without it! I don't even know how I lost it in the first place."
There was a moment of silence which Kaname took to knock on the door before pushing it open upon hearing the Headmaster saying "Come in".
"Kaname! What brings you here so early?"
"Headmaster I found this locket on the way back from class last night it must belong to one of the Day Class girls, so I came to give it to you." He held out the locket and was surprised to hear a squeal of delight
"My locket! You found it! Thank you Kaname!"
Alanna reached a hand out taking the locket from Kaname's grasp putting it round her neck, sighing in relief as it dropped from view beneath her Day Class uniform. However Kaname could have sworn he saw the locket glow a brilliant violet when it made contact with her. There was definitely something odd about the whole scenario. At that moment Zero appeared from the office door effectively distracting Kaname from his musings
"What's been decided then, are we really going to look for that locket?"
"No Zero, because guess what Kaname found Alanna's locket isn't that great!"
"Um I guess. I should thank you Kuran now I don't have to go and search for her locket."
Zero's pov
So he's here because he found her locket, I am glad it wasn't lost forever, but I'm more glad to see Kaname. He even manages to look good this early in the morning when he should be asleep! He must have just have got out of bed yet he doesn't even have bed hair! What I wouldn't give to touch those silky locks of hair…
Normal pov
"I should return to the Night Class Dorms, I am usually asleep at this time."
Kaname threw a glance over the other occupants of the room, before resting his gaze on Yuki
"Would you care to accompany me Yuki?" (Asking Yuki will probably make Zero come to 'protect' her and since I can't ask him outright this is the best way to get him to come.)
"Kaname, I am sorry but my classes begin soon and I am not ready so I can't…sorry."
"What, scared to walk back to your dorms by yourself Kuran?"
"Zero!"
"Why yes I am Kiryu! I am deeply afraid that if I walk around I will be chased by numerous Day Class girls, however if such a scary Kiryu-kun was walking with me they would stay far away from me."
"Fine I'll accompany you Kuran, since I am ready for class."
The two then left Kaien's office and headed in the direction of the Night Class Dorms
Zero's pov
Kaname, what's wrong with him? He isn't usually like this, he sort of seems a bit distracted today and now he's being way too quite if you ask me. I wonder if something's wrong. Why do I have to feel concerned for him, he'd treat me like dog dirt on his shoe if that wouldn't mess-up his wonderful gentleman act ,in Yuki's eyes anyway, at least Alanna isn't all goo goo gag gag for him, I don't think I could stand that (even when he found her locket, and after she was so upset last night!). Then again it was a pureblood who killed her family so it's not likely she'd fall head over heels for one just because he's hot…Kaname…those soft chocolate brown locks and maroon eyes, their like he can see into your very soul, like they suck you in to a deep dark place just for you and him but its completely safe…WAIT JUST ONE MINUITE! I know I decide (in my head at least) that Kaname isn't a completely evil bastard and yes he is undeniably hot, but I did not at any point think it was okay to start acting like one of those stupid fan girls I have to deal with each day! But than another all together…different idea began forming in my head, imagine the almighty Pureblood Prince, Kaname Kuran –sama, writhing beneath me begging for release, I mean with that body he is basically asking to be fucked, he's like a sex god, for fucks sake! That would certainly be enjoyable, not just having him powerless to me but to have him like that because it's me! OH SHIT! Getting hard, not good, not good! BAD BAD BAD ZERO! Thoughts away from that line of thoughts!
Like he'd ever want me anyways he's The Pureblood Prince, he could have any one he wants vampire or human, female or male, and he seems to want Yuki. Zero was glad, as always melancholy thoughts could bring his excitement right down, both literally and figuratively.
Normal pov
Kaname meanwhile was watching the adorable display of expressions across Zero's face. How he wished he knew what was causing them! They had been walking in silence for some time now and despite the lack of conversation Kaname liked this…companionable…silence, without Zero screaming or yelling or hurling death threats in his face. Not that he didn't deserve them - some of the times anyway. Kaname thought suddenly I should apologise, for the whole Shizuka Hio incident
"So…um Zero?"
"Yeah, what?" (Zero? What happened to Kiryu?)
"I want to apologise and say I'm sorry. I know you know that it was I that killed Shizuka and thus it is I that has prevented you from ever gaining stability as a vampire, and for that I am deeply sorry."
WHAT THE HELL! Zero definitely wasn't expecting that! Then again considering the fact that he got called Zero rather then Kiryu should have been a sign something was amiss. He wondered if the pureblood was felling okay. Perhaps he had been out to long in the daylight or had hit his head on something – did vampires get concussion? Zero wasn't sure.
"Um are you okay Kaname?" (Oopps that Kaname just slipped out, to late now though. I hope he didn't notice!)
"Yes, of course I'm fine. I'm apologising because it's my fault that you can't gain stability as a level D and what I did was wrong! Not because I'm suffering momentary brain damage! And I just had a thought! Zero you need your masters blood to become truly stable but…I'm a pureblood and I did kill your master so perhaps…if you took my blood…it would slow if not prevent the fall to level E."
Kaname's pov
Kaname! He called me Kaname! Not Kuran or Arrogant Pureblood Bastard but Kaname! Though why on earth did I ask about blood, I know he hates to drink it and it must make him uncomfortable so why did I say it?! Am I really that desperate for him to drink my blood! But I bet now he's going to be totally disgusted with me. I mean why on earth would he drink the blood of his worse enemy! But it just slipped out and on the plus side it' a way to have him drink from me rather that Yuki, even if I don't take the place she appears to occupy in his heart it would be a closeness of sorts. He would need me, I could help him in a way that only I could! I hope he accepts my proposition I know it's doubtful that he will, he hated needing blood but surely the call of the purest vampire blood wouldn't fail to get him to drink the blood the possible prevention of falling to level E was an added bonus right? Or have I overstepped the mark this time?
Normal pov
"You think I should drink your blood! I know that a pureblood giving away their blood especially to a level D is one of the most taboo things in vampire society. It's one of the things you learn while becoming a hunter!"
"Since when have you given a damn about our society? Zero, you of all people should know that this could be the only way to keep you sane! If you don't want to do it for yourself do it for Yuki, think how you hate to hurt her and how her blood barely helps now, mine could help!"
Zero's pov
Why is he trying so hard to convince me to drink his blood? Yes what he said about Yuki is true, perhaps that's it! He doesn't want me to continue to harm his precious Yuki and in his usual way of gentlemanly behaviour has offered instead!
Normal pov
"While it's true I don't really care about vampiric society and all its rules and regulations, the vampire senate do and I would defiantly be hunted down once they had heard I drunk a purebloods blood, the only crime which is considered greater is the killing of a pureblood and I'm already on thin ice there as they want me for the killing of Shizuka Hio."
Kaname's pov
Damn I didn't think of that! I was so caught up in the idea of having Zero drinking my blood! I was so jealous of Yuki when Zero drank her blood not mine!
Normal pov
"I don't think it would matter if I gave the blood willingly and we can always try to hide the fact. Right here and now there is no one but us around. And we are still far enough away from the dorms for it to be undetected."
Zero's pov
Oh my god, this is not happening! This is a dream not real. Zero pinched himself. Oww that hurt and I'm still here so…this is real! Why though? Why is Kaname offering his blood there is the whole Yuki part I guess, is she really that important to him? If he's willing to break the rules which will have been drummed into him since birth…that kind of upsets me and makes me jealous of Yuki! But I suppose at the moment I'm a threat to Yuki and all those around me. I wonder if he's right and he could offer me some sort of stability even if it isn't permanent. And on the flip side I get to drink his blood! Okay so it's not having him writhing underneath me in ecstasy begging for release while I pound him into the ground. No not that thought line again Zero! But it is having him there with me and it's about as close as I'm gonna get in this lifetime, so why not take advantage of the situation?
Normal pov
"What so right now, you think I should take your blood? As in right here right now?"
"Yes. If you prefer however we can go to the Night Dorms I could make us quite safe from discovery."
"Yes but surely the Night Class will smell blood or get suspicious as to why I'm there. And I would like to end the today alive thank you very much."
"When you put it that way I see your point. Remember Zero, if it's that painful for it to be me that you're drinking from remember– this is for Yuki. You could sort of say it is her." (Please don't Zero, let it be me your drinking from I don't know if I could stand it if you thought of another while drinking from me.)
Zero's pov
Yuki? Why on earth would I think it's her I'm drinking from when it is in fact Kaname? Maybe that's what he wants me to think while drinking? Well hah Kaname your not in control of my thoughts even if you'd like to be! And I could never think it was another while I was drinking from you!
Normal pov
Zero's eyes slowly turned deep red, despite the fact he hated to drink blood this was Kaname offering his blood willingly and he did sort of owe Zero in a way. Kaname looked on, Zero's fangs were now fully extended and Kaname couldn't help but shiver slightly in anticipation at the prospective bite.
"Scared, Kaname? You can't back out now." Zero drawled while walking Kaname back till Kaname felt his back hit a tree, the two were now a short distance from the path hidden by the undergrowth from any one walking past on the path.
"You wouldn't want your nice white jacket to get dirty would you Kaname?"
Zero 'helped' Kaname out of his jacket and deftly removed the tie clip and unwound the tie. Kaname by now was totally unmoving. Thrilled at the sight of Zero, the early morning sunlight glinting of his sliver hair, he was almost afraid to breathe as if such a thing would awaken Zero from whatever state he was in and cause him to flee. His breath hitched in his throat as Zero moved closer pinning the taller male to the tree. Boy was Kaname glad he decided not to where his blazer that morning!
Zero knew he shouldn't tease the pureblood lest he decided to revoke his offer and consequently would probably end up killing Zero, or if once was enough? And he was stabilized for good? Then Kaname wouldn't let him drink again? This would be his one chance and Zero wasn't about to let that slip away. In the end he could always leave Cross Academy or just kill himself if it all went wrong. With those thoughts in his mind Zero carefully licked down Kaname's neck, pulling down his shirt collar, till he reached the sensitive bite area.
Kaname couldn't help himself, as Zero slowly licked his neck right over his bite area it was like being tormented with pleasure, and Kaname moaned softly. Please Zero bite me now, please, was the only thing in Kaname's mind. After what seemed like a millennia (at least to Kaname) Zero could stand it no longer and sank his fangs into Kaname's neck, taking deep gulps of the sweetest most divine blood, it was easily the best thing Zero had ever tasted in this entire life.
Kaname wound his slender fingers into Zero's hair as the shorter male sunk his fangs deeper. Now that Zero's immediate thirst had been sated he began to pay closer attention to the blood he was drinking, the life blood of any creature can often hold the creatures desires and thoughts and when vampires drink from one another the one feeding can often distinguish these in the others blood. The only time this doesn't happen is if the vampire being feed from shields their thoughts and only purebloods and a handful of the highest level of aristocrats can do this. Kaname currently wasn't, not only had he forgotten about the fact that Zero would now be privy to any and all thoughts and feelings he experienced while being feed from he wouldn't actually want to hide his feelings. If this was the only way he could let Zero know how he felt without ending up with a bullet through his head then so be it.
To say that he was surprised was the least. The whole of Kaname's mind was focused on him and Zero wasn't sure if this was good or bad till he realized there were no feelings of hate, loathing or even dislike. Infact there were feelings of respect? Caring? And Zero wasn't even sure what to think when with his next gulp of blood there was almost like a mix of love and lust! Kaname was now lost to the world around them and pressed closer to the younger male his hand unconsciously tightening on Zero's jacket while the other held his head carefully.
Zero now having had his fill of blood pulled back slightly at which Kaname tried to hold the other back in place. Were the feelings Kaname had displayed his true ones? Zero wasn't sure but to hell with it, slowly he moved his head up and pressed his slightly blood stained lips to Kaname's. Kaname's eyes snapped open, no way he thought but yes Zero was definitely kissing him. Kaname didn't even think he kissed Zero back snapping his eyes back shut again. After a short amount of time Zero pulled back slightly as they were both beginning to suffer from lack of oxygen. The next kiss was less chaste, harsher and deeper fuelled by lust, but still gentle. Zero softly nudged his tongue against Kaname's lips who complied with Zero and opened his mouth, allowing Zero's tongue to enter. A battle for dominance then ensured, which Zero won and relishing in his win forced Kaname back harder onto the tree.
Suddenly a small breeze lifted the leaves of the tree above and the morning sunlight fell on to the two, this jolted them back to reality. Zero jumped back from Kaname as if he'd been stung deep cherry red blush now adorning his face. Cute thought Kaname. Zero looked at Kaname who was just staring at him as if in horror. Oh god what had he done! He'd just kissed Kaname Kuran! He was sure that Kaname's blood had shown him Kaname's true feelings, but had he read them wrong? Though if that was the case why had Kaname kissed him back? Judging by the silence stretching between them he came to the conclusion he must have read Kaname's feelings wrong. Kaname was standing in a total daze. Zero had just kissed him, Zero Kiryu, who hated all vampires but especially purebloods!
"Zero-"
"Don't say a word, Kuran. You may have fun jerking others around-"
"ZERO, I…I…I didn't hate what you did just now…in fact…Zero…I really like you."
Zero could feel the heat rising in his face, great now he knew he had to be blushing even more furiously.
"Kaname…really…you actually like me…?" Kaname could hear the breathlessness and hope in Zero voice
"Yes Zero I honestly lik- love you." Zero could see the sincerity in Kaname's voice, of course the fact that Kaname was now blushing too helped convince him some what
"Kaname! I love you too." Kaname was completely taken back as he Zero pulled him forward into a strong embrace the sunlight flickered across the two, stronger now, and Zero slowly and reluctantly pulled back from the hug checking his watch
"Shit! Class started 10 minutes ago, I'm late. Yuki's gonna kill me!"
Kaname chuckled "Go Zero! I'll see you at class change over tonight!"
Zero leant down and kissed Kaname swiftly before turning and hurriedly heading back to the path and then the school building. Kaname stood in the shade for a few moments his fingers lightly resting on his lips before realising he was outside in the day! If he didn't go back to the dorms soon he'd never get enough sleep! Kaname turned back onto the path then headed in the opposite direction to Zero.
When Kaname arrived back at the Moon Dorms Takuma was still up now reading a manga and lounging on a couch as he heard Kaname enter he tuned his head and chose to ignore the fact that Kaname absolutely reeked of Zero right now, he could only hope his friend would realise and take a shower before any of the other saw or rather smelt him.
"Oh your back Kaname! I have something to tell you. You know that locket you had…"
"Yes? Oh it turned out it belonged to the new girl, Alanna Kinoto" Kaname managed to pull himself from his day dream, that was currently replaying the last few minutes over and over in his head, as he realised Takuma was talking to him.
"Well I knew I'd seen that design somewhere before so I had a look through some books for it" Takuma laid his manga down and slid a book across fro Kaname to see
"'Ancient Pureblood Blood Lines' Takuma what is this?"
"Kaname look, right there" Takuma showed Kaname exactly what he meant stabbing the page next to it, Kaname looked and he saw right there in black and white was a delicate ink drawing of a flower encircled by vines, there was no doubt about it that was the design on the locket he'd picked up.
"Read what it says Kaname!" Kaname picked up the book and read then re-read to make sure he had it right "'Once one of the most powerful ancient pureblood bloodlines the Vita1 blood line is thought to have wiped it self out and there is no recorded presence of them since the ancient times, when the hunter were created. Below is their family crest' Takuma this can't be, didn't you hear me! That locket belongs to Alanna Kinoto, a human. Why would she have a locket with an ancient long ago died out pureblood line's crest on it?"
"I don't know but I'm sure that is the same as the design on the locket. Maybe she just found it and liked it so kept it?" Kaname decided not to mention to Takuma that he was sure he'd seen the locket glow as Alanna took it from him, but he decided he needed to find out where she had it from.
"Maybe"
Far from Cross Academy
In the deep dark swirling shadows of long since forgotten caves
A dark robed and hooded figure entered the largest cave from the shadows and knelt in front of the throne in the centre of the floor, addressing the figure seated there.
"My Lord Umbra2"
"You may speak" He said deeply turning his piercing amber gaze to the figure kneeling before him.
"Celium has detected her presence"
"What!"
"It was only for few hours and it was very weak like it was guarded by something, there was a spike in it just now and I was sent to tell you."
"Very good. She can run but she can not hide, not anymore. Could a fixed location be confirmed?"
"A precise location was unable to be found, but she was definitely still within the country…and there is something else, My Lord…could that vampire not have done a good a job as we hoped?"
"What do you mean?"
"Celium says there was almost like two separate…signatures she said it was difficult to tell as they vanished the same time, one was defiantly her…but she says there was a slight sense of a second, much weaker, signature near her that was almost like a another signature in itself, and it had a slightly male aura to it"
"Impossible, that vampire disposed of the rest of them it was reported that he saw her kill them, usually he would have killed that vampire right away…but she was doing us a service – removing them."
"Of course, My Lord, Celium must have been mistaken."
"Thank you for informing me of this next development."
End of chapter 3
Finally managed to put in something which could be considered Zero/Kaname! At first it was going to go a differently but then I decided to fit with this chapter just the blood drinking scene was better. I know the chapter kind of jumps about a lot but the story would never get anywhere otherwise and all the parts of this chapter are very important to the story, I was going to cut it short but then decided it would be better to just keep going so the story would progress and make more sense. (Also I wanted to write a decent length chapter since it was so long since I updated)
What is going on with that last part of the chapter and who are the people mentioned? That's a secret~ for now. They weren't going to appear yet, infact that part wasn't going to happen for at least 2 more chapters, but then the opportunity to write them in came and it just had to be done. Who they are will be revealed but some more things have to happen first (quite a lot more actually), also they won't make an appearance in every chapter yet, but they do play a rather large role in the story so when they begin to appear more frequently the parts in previous chapters will become clear and will help with who they are.
Vita1 means life in Latin and Italian
Umbra2 means shadow in Latin
