Chapter 8: Sweet Dreams.
- You're so beautiful.
- You're so perfect.
Back then Kaname was 8 years old. That night it was his first time in a ball. His parents said something like debuting into the society. At the same time in the ball were also noble vampires and low level ones and everybody kept surrounding the pureblood and kept praising him with things like: "The blood in your veins is the best" or "You're our lord, we'll follow you."
However deep down Kaname knew they said such things just for protocol, besides he could smell the fear in the air since the others vampires kept looking at him with a shine of terror.
- Can I play with you? - Asked Kaname as he walked toward a couple of vampire boys and girls who were playing soccer in the garden.
- No! - Yelled a boy.
- Sorry, our parents don't let us to play with a pureblood - said a girl nervous.
- They say your kind's dangerous - said another girl as everyone started walking away from the brown hair boy.
- Ok... - Thought Kaname to himself as he stared at a butterfly resting on a rose. - Are you alone too? - Asked as he took the butterfly in his hand, then as if his hand was filled with fire, the little butterfly burned into ashes.
-.-.-.-.-.-.-.
- Oniisama!!! How was the ball? - Asked Yuki running toward Kaname who returned to the "house" where they lived.
Actually it was like a fortress. There weren't windows or anything from outside except a door very well hidden between the walls.
- I'd rather be with you - said Kaname in answer with a weak smile.
- Did you get friends?
- Uh...
- I wanna grow up and go to a ball!!! I wanna have friends too!!! - Exclaimed Yuki with a big smile.
- I'm sure you'll get a lot of friends someday - said Kaname caressing her hair softly.
- It's time to rest - said Yuri showing up.
- We don't need that - said Yuki with a pout.
- We need to have energy anyway to do things - said Yuri shaking her head. - So go to sleep.
- Ok, but I'll sleep with Kaname - replied Yuki taking her arms around the neck of her brother.
- You have your own bed.
- I like Kaname's bed.
- It's ok - interrupted Kaname holding Yuki back. - We can sleep together. My bed is big.
- Fine, you win - said Yuri with a pout. - But don't talk the night long.
- Yeah - replied Yuki and Kaname at the same time.
As Yuri turned the lights off, Yuki fell asleep into the arms of Kaname. The brown hair boy liked that feeling of being held back since a lot of times he could feel lonely.
8 years later
Kaname looked at the butterfly flying around him. Before everytime he took a butterfly in his hands, he used to kill it since he couldn't control the powers that were growing up inside him, but in time he' learn to control and use his power. Even so Kaname felt hesitating about taking the butterfly in his hand, he just stood looking at its wings, the way they moved quickly.
- It's weird - thought Kaname.
It wasn't normal butterflies or birds flying like that in winter. He decided to take a walk before going to the classes. Kaname followed the butterfly like a child following a light in the dark. For some reason, the curiosity woke up in him; he kept following the butterfly until he reached the heart of the forest.
The ground was frozen; the leaves from the trees were covered with snowflakes. Kaname was wearing a black coat and a scarf shaped in squares. It was a scarf that Yuki made for him in classes, actually it wasn't a very well done scarf, but it was from Yuki.
By the moment it was the only thing Kaname had from Yuki since they were apart after the Rido's incident.
Now she had "lost" her memory, they couldn't be together, but she was happy. It seems everybody from the day classes loved her, so she could have friends like she wanted.
- Don't die - whispered Kaname trying to take the butterfly that stop flying and rested on a frozen rose. - If I take you home - thought Kaname.
There wasn't gonna be a problem, right? After all he was a pureblood and he was the president in the night classes and the moon dorms. It supposed he could do whatever he wanted.
Closing his hands slowly, Kaname kept the butterfly into, then he started walking back to the dorms when he felt he lost his balance 'cause of the crystal ground, by reflex, Kaname closed his eyes strongly as he waited for falling against the ground however he felt a hand grasping his arm, so he never got to hit himself.
- Ah? - Confused, Kaname looked at the arm grasping him tightly, after he looked at a silver hair boy.
It seems that boy was a year younger than him and it was the first time Kaname saw him, maybe he was new.
- Don't you feel cold? - Asked Kaname as he took a look on the silver hair boy.
This one just wore a white t-shirt and blue jeans.
- ¿Are you ok? - Asked Zero instead of answering.
- I am - said Kaname frowning.
The question from Zero was too weird since nobody took care of asking a pureblood about anything.
- Well, see ya - said Zero releasing Kaname and retaking the way he was going.
Actually Zero was trying to "run away", he didn't like his new "home." He missed his parents and his twin. He wanted to hunt that bitch that took everything from him. Then he got lost in the forest and he saw how Kaname was falling down against a piece of frozen snow, so Zero
"helped" him.
- Wait... - Kaname kept the butterfly in his pocket as he took his scarf off and gave it to Zero.
- Won't you feel cold? - Asked Zero confused.
- It'll be ok - replied Kaname with a blush as he put the scarf around the neck of Zero.
Kaname opened his eyes hardly as the only thing he could see it was the dark. It seems he was in a dark room and he was chained to the wall!!!
- Oniisama.
- Yuki? - Surprised, Kaname met Yuki in front of him.
She was in a cage delimited by thorns.
- The anti-vampire poison - thought Kaname as he felt dizzy.
The pureblood was going to the moon dorms after hearing Zero talking to Yuki; however he was attacked from behind by thorns. "It's your fault, Zero." Said Kaname angry, he didn't suppose to be so weak. "Even so I still think about him."
- He'll come...
- Who? - Asked Kaname as Yuki said that.
- Zero.
- "Sure, he'll come to save you." - Incredible, Kaname never thought he could be jealous.
- This anti-vampire poison will kill you - said a couple of level Es appearing from the wall as if they were phantoms. - As you lose your blood, we'll drink it. - Said as they walked around Yuki.
Admiring her pain and licking their lips before the blood that fell from the wounds in her body.
- Let her go - said Kaname in a rough tone.
- Shut up - yelled a level E man.
- Yeah, after it'll be your turn - replied a level E girl.
- We'll kill all the purebloods for turning us into this - said in screams as they started pulling Yuki's hair and biting her arms and legs.
- "Damn, Zero... Do something!!!."
The worst poison was "love" thought Kaname as the hunter kept chasing his mind. He just wished for this one to rescue his sister since she was the only one who seemed to love him without fear or games.
- "Save her though you hate me." – Said Kaname even if deep down he wished for Zero saving him too.
-.-.-.-.-.-.
- Hey! - shouted Aido turning his head toward Zero.
- I'm hearing his voice.
- What?
Zero shook his head, it wasn't time thinking about Kaname but suddenly the hunter couldn't stop thinking about the pureblood and the way he met to each other.
2 years ago, the first time they met in the forest. Zero didn't realize Kaname was a vampire 'cause of his features since Zero thought he found an angel, then he discovered that the brown hair boy who caught his heart, it was a vampire, that's why...
- I can't believe Yuki's right - said Zero with a face in shock. - Do I like Kaname?
- Hurry up!!! - Interrupted Aido shaking Zero by his shoulder.
It happened 3 hours since Kaname sama and Yuki sama were kidnapped by the level Es. Meanwhile Yagari and Cross said something like a woman hunter who was bitten by a pureblood, then she became a level E and she was leading all the level Es in order to kill the purebloods and everybody like a revenge.
- Hence they have anti-vampire weapons - said Aido. - Ichijo and Shiki will fight the level Es in the moon dorms. Ruka and Seiren will try keeping the cool as Kain and Rima will go to the sun dorms.
- And we? - Asked Zero.
He didn't know what he was going anyway.
- We're going to their hideout where they have Yuki trapped.
- I guess she'll be happier to see you instead of me - said Zero giving a raw look to the noble vampire.
- Don't start now, besides it's not your problem what we do.
- I'll go on my way - said Zero giving a step back.
That's right; the hunter wasn't feeling like saving the day.
- Nooooo!!! - Aido made pieces of ice and threw them against Zero. - You'll go with me. You HAVE to save Kaname sama!!!! You know I'm not strong enough to fight everybody there. Kaname sama will be happy to see you!
- Why? - Asked Zero all confused.
- I thought you two were lovers!
- We're NOT - yelled Zero giving the iced knifes back to Aido.
- Ouch!! - Replied Aido as he shook his hand. Zero cut him!!
- I won't save anybody, f**k ya.
- You're a b***h - alleged Aido mad as he retook his step. - Ok, stay here if you wanna. I'll save Yuki and Kaname sama on my own.
- Why? - Asked Zero as Kaname finished surrounding his neck with the scarf.
- Now you won't feel cold.
- And you... You aren't very smart - said Zero trying to give the scarf back to Kaname.
- You'll be cold!! - Replied Kaname louder as Zero covered him with the scarf.
- Is it ok? - Zero took the hand of Kaname strongly.
- Uh?
- I won't let you go - said Zero with a smile. - Because your hand is warm. More than the scarf.
- "It seems I'm not alone anymore." - Said Kaname to himself as he released the butterfly.
Now it was as if the pureblood had someone with who to walk home in the middle of the snowflakes that fell.
