Hello everyone. I have to say that I am very honored to receive all of your reviews. They mean so much to me. I always try to reply to as much reviews as I can. I am glad that you all liked Akira. I was watching a serie and I really liked the name. I have big things planned for him. Oh, I'm planning on doing a song fic but I'm not sure which song to choose. Can you please send me some songs for me to choose **makes puppy dog face at readers**

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight or any of it's characters. I do have the honor of owning Akira.

A/N: This story has no beta so sorry for any grammar mistakes. I also have given up on finish watching Vampire Knight. Is just too much for me. I'm even surprised I lasted trough episode 13. I cannot take it anymore. Sorry guys.

Chapter 3

The sun was almost returning from his hiding place at the other side of the world. That indicated every single vampire that morning was about to come and that it was almost time to return to their dorms.

"Do you have any information about Kiryu's whereabouts?" Kaname asked to every noble inside the room, who simply shook their heads with no interest.

"Did you find any clues about where can he possibly be?" Kaname asked another question

"We did not find anything at all, Kaname-sama" Takuma replied, looking down at his feet. He, and all the nobles, knew that that answer was not what Kaname wanted to hear at the moment. The pureblood said nothing, lost in his thoughts.

"You may return to your dorms" Kaname ordered once he got back to reality.

Everyone nodded and bowed in front of Kaname before heading to their respectful dorms. Everyone was clearly exhausted because they spent their entire night searching for Kiryu.

Kaname did what the others did and went to his dorm. He laid in his comfortable bed, which was also the biggest one in the entire academy. He knew that Yuki would be searching for Zero as soon as she woke up. That was the first thing she did before heading to class. He did not complained since he knew that the girl was stubborn.

He slowly closed his eyes and awaited until sleep took over.

-Dream world-

A path of rocks that were buried in the snow led all the way over to a cabin. The area had no vegetation at all nor any living being at all. It was completely deserted. The only living being around the area was Kaname, who examined the area with absolute precaution. It was very quiet. Maybe too quiet for his liking.

He walked towards the cabin, a known aura could be sensed as he got closer and closer to the wooden building.

He opened the door. The entire place was empty. There was no furniture, no windows, no other door, no rooms, nothing. Only a ghostly figure in front of him.

"Come to me" Kaname heard the 'ghost' say, the voice was calm but filled with pain at the same time. It was none other than Zero Kiryu. His pain-filled face stared directly at his hazel eyes. Kaname did notice something different with the silver haired boy. A peculiar amethyst gem was inserted in the ex-human's chest right were the heart is suppose to be. He had seen the gem before. He was not sure where though.

"Zero?" Kaname questioned. His arms reached to touch the ex-human but it trespassed his body.

"Help me" Zero begged to him. It seemed so real. However, he knew that it was all just a dream. Zero was not there right now.

He felt an unfamiliar feeling deep in his chest. He did not like to see the pained look on Zero's face. He has never seen the ex-human with such a facial expression. He was always so cold toward everybody that it surprised him that he even dared to show his pain at him.

"Help you with what?" he asked. The vampire knew that it was a dream but he might as well play along.

"Help me, Kaname. He found me"

Kaname looked at Zero confused.

"Who has you?" Kaname asked to the ex-human.

"Save me from Ak..."as Zero began saying the same he began disappearing, not being able to finish the word at all.

"Stay with me, Zero!" Kaname yelled and made an attempt to get a hold of the Level D.

"Save me from him..."was the last thing Kaname heard from Zero before he finally disappeared completely.

-End Dream-

Kaname's eyes snapped open. Zero's word were now invading his mind.

Come to me...

Help me, Kaname...

Save me from him...

He found me...

Save me from Ak...

It was like Zero was trying to find some way of communicating with him by sending some sort of message. But how? Level D's did not possessed such abilities. And that name. Ak... Kaname knew that it was not complete. What name could it be? There were a lot of possibilities.

Zero was never the one to ask for help. Everybody at the academy knew that. What made the ex-human ask for his help? From all the people that Zero knew it had to be him. It could all be simply a dream. There could be no message involved and it was simply Kaname's mind playing sick games with him. But there was something that made it feel real.

Kaname was so confused right now. He felt something strange inside of his chest. A warm feeling that did not feel pleasant at all overtook his senses as he thought about Zero. Was it care? Worry? He did not understand such human emotions towards anybody else besides Yuki. He simply ignored the unfamiliar feeling that he only allowed himself to feel towards Yuki.

Kaname ran his slender hand trough his curly, dark hair as he let out a sigh. He was not a big fan of this kind of riddles. And he knew that he has just entered a very hard one...

Akira lovingly stared at the unconscious figure in his bed. Zero looked so beautiful right now. Even without his soul.

That's right. The gem that Akira planted on Zero was a very powerful one. It had the special ability to purify a soul, erasing memories and rewriting new ones. It is also used to make a mate out of either person or vampire. The effects, however, could be stopped. If the stone is removed before the crimson moon graces the sky with it's unique light then the bearer of the gem shall stay the same.

Akira had spent four entire years searching for such stone. If Zero did not remembered him then he would make him remember. He will erase all of Zero's worthless memories and make Zero recognize him as his 'true' mate.

His head traveled to Zero's soft hair and inhaled the hunter's vanilla scent.

"Delicious" he muttered.

He loved Zero so much. His mind was thinking of Zero every single day. Ever since Akira met Zero his life was changed. He went from the obedient little servant to a lovesick vampire. Akira, to put it in one simple word, was obsessed.

"If you only knew the trouble I went trough to find you, Zero. I want us to be just like before. What changed in you?" Akira asked. As if Zero was still awake.

He opened both of Zero's eyelids, lifeless lilac pools came to view as sapphire stared directly at them.

"You have such unique eyes. They are more beautiful than any peace of jewelery" Akira gently kissed Zero's eyebrow. "Everything about you is perfect, my love. I can't wait for you to be mine again. We will be happy...just like before" the last part was said in a nostalgic tone. It was an understandable fact...at least for Akira. To want to be with the love of your life is very common in this world. To be away from it was the most heartbreaking feeling ever known.

"Waiting two short weeks is a small price to pay to stay with you forever. I will enjoy every single second with you, my beautiful iris" Akira softly whispered in Zero's ear.

In two weeks the night sky will be adorned by the unique crimson moon. The moon that strengthened every living vampire and allowed them to use unimaginable power. It only came once every year and every single vampire awaited for that moment. "I will claim you as my own, Zero. Don't forget that"

Akira soundly kissed Zero on the lips before going outside, ready to search for some lunch.

Memories. Visions. Dreams. All of those thing were surrounding Zero.

Believe it or not, Zero was inside his own soul. It was a mix of his own experiences, either good or bad, and they all got together to create some kind of new world. Zero's own world. There were some memories that Zero did not want to see again, like the time Shizuka bit him. Zero was forced to feel that pain again. Two fangs sank forcefully in his neck as bitterly sucked the blood out of him, his own brother was standing there and did nothing at all to save him.

There were some memories that appeared to be sealed. Every single time that Zero tried to reach them he just ended up in another place within his soul. He remembered what Akira asked him.

You don't remember, do you?

Maybe those memories held all his knowledge toward Akira. Too bad he could not reach it. He was feeling rather curious about the creepy pureblood.

And speaking of pureblood...Zero has been scolding himself for the past day. Well, if he has even been there for a day. A few hours ago he was exploring the place when he found a rather curious looking door. It was bigger than the rest and it also emitted more energy than any other door in his soul besides the locked ones. He entered it without hesitation and received a shock. An image of the pureblood was right before him. He was feeling pain, northing to be surprised of since he recently got a gem forced into his skin. He asked for...no...begged for Kaname to help him.

"Stupid" Zero told himself. How could he ask for Kaname Kuran to help him? As if the pureblood cared about him. And if Kaname decided to help him then it would be for 'Yuki's sake', or at least that's what the pureblood would say.

Zero had to admit that a part of him did not regret that action at all. He could not fight this on his own, that much he knew. He was already trapped within his own soul. There was nothing Zero could do at the moment except to wait. Zero was not stupid. If asking for help was the only way he could survive then he would do it. He will just have to wait

For the time being he continued to explore. Images of his childhood were little but there were some. He smiled at himself as he saw the times when he and Ichiru used to just go to the park and play around, their mother and father watching out for the wellbeing of their boys. His childhood was once of the most happiest moments in his entire life. Almost everything was good by then.

"Too good to last forever" he muttered as he walked by the memory.

He continued looking for his memories. There was nothing better to do. Besides, he had to do something until the pureblood fell asleep again. He was not so sure why he could only share a connection with Kaname but he will bot waste the opportunity. He really wanted to get out of that place as fast as he could.

TBC...

I wanted to write more but I did not know what else to write. I got a little blocked. I hope you understood the effects of that gem. If you didn't then I will explain. I apologize if this chapter left you confused. More information about Akira and the gem will be known in future chapters. And now for the preview

"Aido, do you mind finding some information for me?" Kaname asked the blonde noble.

"You can ask for anything, Kaname-sama" the blonde replied.

"I want you to find as much as you can about gems. Gather every book you find and give it to me" Kaname ordered.

Aido stared confused at his leader.

'Why would Kaname-sama ask for those kind of books. He has never been interested in jewelery before' Aido thought.

"Of course" when a pureblood asked for something the noble or any other lower rank vampire had to obey. They could not deny a single order or they would receive a great punishment.

"I will await for you at my dorm" Kaname said before disappearing into his own room.
