Chapter 5: The Hook Up.

- I haven't gotten the things for the ball!!!

- You haven't even finished checking the exams for the students. - Said Yagari in a corner and watching how Cross ran around the room where the ball was going to be setting.

- It's Halloween!!! I HAVE to make a ball for that!!!

- Aren't there monsters enough? - Asked Yagari sarcastically as he thought about the "students" from the night class.

- Don't be a killjoy!!! Besides it's a pretty way to make everybody let the resentment behind and be friend from now and forever!!!! - Replied Cross with dreaming eyes as hearts flew around him. - Don't you think the same, Zero???

- Uh... Whatever... - Mumbled Zero like a zombie, he HAD to help to decorate the place for the ball because his dear father threatened to give him extra homework if he didn't.

- Anyway.... – Sighed Yagari with a sweatdrop falling down his face. - Isn't this look too much pink and flowery for a "scary" ball for Halloween?

- Of course not!!! The flowers and the candies in the shape of a heart are beautiful!!! – Exclaimed Cross.

- Really? – Insisted Yagari though it was pointless.

Zero didn't like those silly things, he had something more important to do like... Anyway, that night he'd go to the ball in order to make his plan to work, besides, he promised it to Kaname, well, it wasn't a promise, but it was something like that, he wasn't going to run away and hide; moreover everything was under his control.

- Hey, Zero, after you finish decorating the place, let's try the costume I got for you!!! – Yelled Cross with a malicious smirk.

- What?! - Said Zero almost screaming. - I thought it was just masks!!!

- And costumes because it's H-A-L-L-O-W-E-E-N

- No way!!! I won't dress up!!!

- You WILL!!!!

- NOOOOOOOO

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-. At night

- They're taking too much time. - Said Ruka waiting outside the ball; she was dressed up as a queen of hearts.

Actually it was a gala dress adorned with lace hearts and a mask in the shape of a heart.

She was waiting for the others since she was the first to arrive.

- It's not easy to go everywhere in costume. - Replied Ichijo dressed up as a bear.

- It's childish to do this. - Said Shiki with lack of interest.

- I told you, - said Rima, dressed up as a witch, also arriving, - you look cute in your costume.

- So why didn't you dress up as this? - Replied Shiki looking at himself all dressed up as a cat.

- I'm not as cute as you. – Said Rima shrugging her shoulders.

- Just let's enjoy the ball with no trouble. – Interrupted Kain dressed up as a mummy.

- Where are Kaname sama and Yuki sama? – Asked Ruka looking around.

- They're here. - Said Seiren dressed up as a pixie.

- Sorry for being late!!! – Yelled Yuki as she ran through the stairs, she was dressed up as a mermaid.

- You're gorgeous. - Declared Ruka full of surprise as she looked at Yuki without blinking.

- Thank you!!! - Excited Yuki bowed her head since to her; Ruka was the true beauty in world. - Aido helped me to get the costume.

- That's my cousin. - Said Kain. - Kaname sama is going to kill him.

Everybody nodded since Yuki was beautiful but almost naked too!!! A golden mermaid tail with a lot of fancy jewels and a small, very small bra!!

- I'm sure Kaname sama is going to be glad about my job since he PERSONALLY asked me to help Yuki to get a costume. - Replied Aido proud of himself, he was dressed up as an elf.

- Oniisama is… - said Yuki as she felt someone holding her from behind.

- Yuki!!!

Before the brown hair girl got to finish her sentence, she turned and met Wakaba dressed up as an doll.

- Like the old times!!! - Said Wakaba very excited as she held Yuki tightly.

- It's true!!!! – Exclaimed Yuki holding her back. - You look good in your costume!!!

- So you!!!

- Alright!!!! Let's go to the ball, oniisama is already there. - Said Yuki as she walked into the room full of Halloween stuff and a big and shining dancefloor in the center.

- See? This ball is a success!!! - Yelled Cross as he appeared dressed up as a sunflower. - Why didn't you come in costume? - Asked to Yagari.

- I am.

- You're dressed as a hunter.

- I'm dressed as a "normal" hunter, not a vampire one.

- Aw, you're a killjoy after all, but who cares? My dear daughter is here!!! - Cross got to see Yuki coming into the room and he ran toward her. - I'm glad you're here!!! HUG!!!!

- Good night. – Said Yuki as she evaded being hugged.

- Everybody's killjoy!!! – Cried Cross with tears.

- There's no choice since "somebody" threatened to give us extra homework. - Said Aido giving a killing look to Cross.

- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha!!! Do you want candies??? – Offered Cross all the candies and toffees in plates on the table.

- I want!! - Yuki watched the candies carefully. - All of them look delicious!!! But why are these bonbons in the shape of hearts and kisses?

- These are "special" bonbons, if you're going to take them, you HAVE to give them to someone who you really like and it'll be a happy ending with true love!!!! Am I not original?

- It's more like Valentine instead of Halloween. - Said Shiki taking a bonbon.

- Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha..., it's because I didn't have chance to make a ball for Valentine.

Mmmmmmm.... Everybody kept looking at Cross with a sweatdrop.

- I guess Halloween could be a great way to find true love. - Said Yuki to cheer her father. - Where is Zero?

- In his room, he said he was too embarrassing for dressing up.

- He's silly and I won't let him skip this!! - Said Yuki. - I'll go for him.

Yuki walked through the corners since they were connected with the sun dorms and Cross's house.

- Hey, zero!! Let's go to the ball. - Said Yuki knocking on his door.

- No way.

- Please!!!

- Over my dead body.

- It's not so bad to dress up.

- It's silly, childish, RIDICULOUS!!!

- Let's go to the ball, who's going to know it? I mean, everybody wears a mask and I won't laugh!!!

- Fine but if you laugh...

- I won't!!

Zero took his time and opened the door and showed himself to Yuki who started laughing!!

- You're laughing!!

- Not at you, I mean, I can't stop laughing because I can't believe how silly you are, I think you look very good in your costume.

To Zero it was hard to believe in Yuki's words since she kept laughing.

- I'll stay in my room. - Said Zero with a "dangerous" look.

- I'm serious. - Yuki blushed. - You're really good looking..., but it seems you're like Oniisama.

- What do you mean?

- He's too embarrassing about dressing up but he's handsome as usual.

- Uh...

- Eh... Let's go to the ball. - Yuki grasped Zero's hand and took him with her to the room where everybody was having fun in their costumes, maybe it was kind of "ridiculous" but everybody wore a mask.

Suddenly Zero thought he could dance with Yuki, but just when they came into the room, every boy and even girls from the day class threw themselves on her and asked her to dance together!!! It wasn't a surprise since Yuki became very popular as she was in night class.

- Not even touch a hair of her!!! - Exclaimed Aido running to "save" Yuki, after all they were humans since a vampire would never be so brave to get close to a pureblood like her.

- Aido has a lot of fun being a nanny. - Said Kain with a smile.

- Am I too a nanny? - Asked Seiren with a frown.

- No, you're like a bodyguard, you're always watching over everything.

- It's my job.

- I just wanted to have a talk since you're always busy... and I wanted to know you a little bit more.

- Why do you want to know me? - Asked Seiren with a blush.

- You know..., we're always so near but we hardly talk to each other.

- I thought you were interested about Ruka. - Said Seiren taking a sip from her cup.

- I was but she bashed me.

- Uh...

- Don't misunderstand me!!! - Replied Kain nervous, maybe it wasn't a good idea to start a conversation with Seiren, she was kind of defensive. - Do you want a bonbon?

- Isn't a bonbon from that true love thing?

- "I didn't realize it when I took it" - Thought Kain with a sweatdrop.

- Thanks anyway.

- You're welcome. - Sighed Kain in relief, at least Seiren wasn't going to hit him, right? - Do you want to dance with me?

- Ok.

As Kain and Seiren went to the dancefloor, Ruka stood in a corner and drinking, she wasn't in a good mood or bad mood either, she finally was over Kaname but anyway the other guys didn't catch her attention.

- Do you want this?

- Ah? - Ruka with wide open eyes looked at Rima who was giving her a piece of that bonbon???!!!

- I don't pay attention "true love" or whatever but I felt I wanted to eat bonbon though it's too much for me so do you want this piece? I don't want to throw it either.

- It'd be a waste. - Said Ruka shrugging her shoulders and taking the piece of bonbon. - What about Shiki?

- He's confessing himself to Ichijo.

- You're really strong for helping your rival.

- Whatever.... - Sighed Rima looking at the table in front of her.

There were Ichijo and Shiki who was nervous after being stalked by Rima about confessing his feelings for Ichijo, but "we are just friends!" thought Shiki.

- Why don't you try these candies?

- Just humans could find enjoyable something like that.

- Maybe you're right, but these are good! - Exclaimed Ichijo.

- Are you eating the ones with wine?

- Yeah!!!

- "Mmmmm, if I confess my feelings for him now, maybe he won't even remember..." - Thought Shiki with a bonbon in his hand.

Well, after all it wasn't so bad since everybody was in their business, nobody would notice how ridiculous was Zero in his costume, right?

In any case, the hunter felt he was getting suffocated so kept himself in a corner then he realized there was someone else standing in the corner...

It was someone dressed up as an angel in white in the middle of a winter.... It was Kaname!!!!

Zero could say that even if the pureblood was wearing a mask cause of his disgusting vampire blood, pure vampire blood, before getting intoxicated it was time to leave and go to somewhere else, but then Zero remembered he had something with Kaname.

- "I'm gonna hate me for this, but it's in order to get closer to Yuki" - Thought Zero as he took his hand toward Kaname….

Kaname was bored in that ball, well, nobody invited him to dance since he was wearing a mask so nobody recognized him easily, that's why he wasn't taking his mask off because he wasn't feeling like dancing or doing anything, besides he was waiting for someone... Then he felt someone grasping his hand in a rough way, maybe it was...

- Wait!!! - Replied Kaname as that someone didn't release his hand and instead of that, he was taking him to the balcony.

- You'll see.

Kaname was being kidnapped or what? He wasn't thinking too much, then they came into the balcony and everything was dark since there was no star in the night sky and the moon shined weakly, so finally Kaname felt that someone letting his hand go.

- What are you doing now? - Asked Kaname guessing that someone's identity.

No answer, it was as if Kaname was left alone in that dark balcony, but even so he wasn't thinking to leave until he got an answer, then suddenly some lights turned on and Kaname couldn't help looking around him, there were lights filling the balcony and there were also red and white roses that shined more than the lights themselves, it was a romantic scene and like a romantic scene there should be a prince or a knight.... Blushing Kaname finally looked at the one in front of him, it was someone dressed up as a knight in silver and golden colors, attractive and magical.

- I guess I'm used about the way you keep looking at me everytime we meet.

Zero... It was Zero's voice... Shit!!! Why didn't Kaname realize his presence before? Perhaps he did and that's why he did nothing because he wanted to be near the hunter?

- I've been waiting for you. - Stated Kaname trying to keep cool. - "It's time to end this game of secret admirer and gifts"

- I'm gonna kiss you.

- Uh?

- It's my answer to your question.

- Don't try to change the subject, level E, don't think I'll forget your silly games just because you think you can make me nervous cause of your talking.

- There's no game and I'm not talking. - Replied Zero walking toward Kaname. - So you shouldn't be nervous... - Whispered Zero with a smile.

Kaname wanted to go away right now instead of following Zero's game but the exit looked so faraway, besides if he gave a step ahead, he would have to be near Zero and Zero maybe would catch him, then Kaname gave steps back, it was too bad since he was making his own prison as he hit himself against the edge of the balcony, there was escape!!!

- I'm gonna kiss you.... If you don't mind.... I'll show you it's not a game.... I like you.

Every sentence from Zero was very exciting though actually to Zero it was fucking hesitating!!! Damned!!! At least if he won Kaname's heart, he would be free to be with Yuki???

Kaname was shocked with himself, why did he let Zero to catch him like that? It was awful, maybe he could attack Zero but everybody could notice that and after they would wonder, then the last hope for Kaname it was everything to be a game and Zero give up.

- I'm not gonna eat you or anything though I could bite you. - Said Zero in a tone of sarcasm as he got closer to Kaname and rested a hand on the pureblood's cheek, with the other hand he took his (own) mask away, showing a smile that froze Kaname's heart. – Let me see your imperturbable and beautiful face. – Without losing his smile, Zero took Kaname's mask away and their eyes met...

As usual Kaname was beautiful under the light from the moon, his skin looked more soft and fragile though his "imperturbable" face was a joke since he was shocked completely cause of the things Zero was doing, it wasn't the "usual" Zero who threatened to kill him, but it was an unusual Zero who was flirting with him!!!!

- Are you drunk? – Asked Kaname trying to push Zero away.

- I'm just doing what you want. – Answered Zero throwing the mask away and running his fingers through Kaname's cheek full of red and heat. – You don't think I LIKE YOU so I'M GONNA KISS YOU TO SHOW YOU IT'S TRUE

Really, not even Zero could believe in his own words!!!! The easy way to kiss your foe it was thinking it wasn't your foe however Zero was unable to think about someone else, he couldn't even think about Yuki since he was thinking about Kaname and it was hard ignore the pureblood, it was hard to ignore how damn handsome was the pureblood in his angel costume, it was something twisted, how could be someone a vampire and an angel at the same time?

Then Zero closed his eyes and leaned against Kaname, almost resting his body against his, the pureblood was all red like a tomato, he could feel the weight of Zero on him, the hunter's body was so warm like the sun he couldn't reach.

Next the arms of Zero wrapped his waist in order to bring him closer (as if they weren't closer enough!) Zero brushed his nose against Kaname's; he could inhale the shaking and warm breath from the pureblood.

Why was Zero treating him so well? Kaname was confused and lost in that perfect moment; only feeling the tender way Zero was holding him; it made his heart melt like butter, he also started enjoying the hunter's breath caressing his lips.

- …… - Zero remained silent and looking at Kaname without blinking, but it was a sweet look, no matter how he tried to give his worst look since he couldn't, there was something in the pureblood's features that made him wants to love him… Maybe it was the pureblood's power on a simple level E or maybe it was an advice to stop the game because if Zero was going to kiss his worst enemy… He could fall.

Do it, do it, do it, do it, kiss him, kiss him!!!!!

It was too late, though Zero wanted to run away now, he had Kaname in his arms, like a level E, the lust took control…

Zero took his face to Kaname's, their lips were near to each other and Zero brushed his lips softly against the lips of Kaname, it was light even so Kaname couldn't help shaking, it wasn't a kiss yet, but with the simple touch of their lips, they felt like heaven, then Zero decided to go on....

Zero half opened his lips and caught the lips of Kaname and started licking them temptingly before kissing him, it seems the only one who had to give up it was Kaname who didn't have a way to escape from that, besides he didn't want to since he was enjoying it, Zero's kiss wasn't without "life" or " lack of feeling" like the kisses he got from his vampire lovers, Zero's kiss was really warm and delicate.

Subsequently Kaname felt the hands of Zero go through his back and the kiss was getting stronger and passionate by the way, now Zero took his tongue against his and ran in every corner, Kaname was getting breathless and hurt at the same, like a torture, Zero held him tightly as if he was going to break him however the pureblood didn't want Zero stop kissing him so to seize the pain from the tough behavior from Zero, Kaname held him back and grasped that silver hair strongly, suddenly Zero bit Kaname's upper lip and started tasting the string of blood from the pureblood who couldn't help moaning!!!

It wasn't Zero human anymore but zero vampire who was taking the control, Kaname was disgusted for how the things were going on since from the first place he didn't had why let Zero to kiss him!!!

- Stop! - Said Kaname in an order tone but Zero wasn't obeying.

- Still. - Whispered Zero as he kissed Kaname deeper and bit his upper lip harder to get more blood.

- Are you in lust?

- I can control myself.... - Said Zero finishing the kiss, after he looked at Kaname and it was amazing, he would never think he could see the pureblood like that.

Kaname was out of breath, his sweet brown hair was a mess, his doll face was filled with red!!!!

- You're the only one who can't be in control. - Said Zero with a smile, not a sarcastic one but a genuine.

Anyway Kaname already didn't know what to think or do or say, then Zero took his lips against Kaname's again and licked the small string of blood that kept falling, but after all it was Zero who got the surprise when Kaname opened his lips and retook the kiss, now it was a slow kiss, besides Kaname kept playing with his silver hair and sometimes "daring" to caress the hunter's face and neck!!!

Zero couldn't deny the hands of Kaname through him it was a nice feeling, besides, if Kaname was doing him something, the hunter's instinct just could throw the pureblood out the balcony and let him fall, but it wasn't going to happen since they were trapped in the kiss, specially Kaname who also wanted to explore inside the mouth of the hunter, he also wanted to taste it.... And without realizing it, Kaname also got into lust, his eyes turned into red ones and gradually he showed his fangs and bit Zero's lower lip, making a string of blood like his...

- Kaname sama!!!!!

Hearing his name being called, Kaname jumped as Zero moved away quickly, then they met Aido who was looking at them full of surprise.

- What do you want? - Asked Kaname in an irritated tone as he ran a hand through his hair as he tried to hide his blush.

- Something's happened...

Kaname realized the seriousness in Aido's eyes so it wasn't moment to get mad or disappointment for not getting to taste Zero's blood, there was going to be other chance?

Zero sighed, he was also out of breath though he could kiss Kaname eternally, then he shook his head madly, what the hell?!!! Zero gave a punch against the wall and put his hand on his lips, to be honest he didn't realize WHEN Kaname bit him!!!! Puzzled Zero cleaned the string of blood that fell from his lower lip and after he couldn't help licking the blood drops staining his fingers, he felt like being surrounded by Kaname's blood.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.-.

O.o it's this chapter 5!!! why did aido interrupt a such moment??? what happened??? next chapter the bad guys are going to show up and zero will have to be a true knight for… Kaname or yuki????
