Chapter 9

"Where did he go?"asked the brunette girl to the blonde vampire. Aidou sat carelessly in his seat, taking a sip from his tea.

"He probably found out Kiryu-kun's location" Aidou said.

"He has?"Yuki smiled. She was entirely sure that Kaname will bring back Zero safely.

"He has"Aidou wrapped both hands around his tea cup and sighed. "Want to hear the information?"

The noble didn't feel up to explaining things over again. he was never one to repeat things. Too bad Kaname-sama had ordered him to do so. Otherwise he would have Yuki already out of the house, doubts and all. He couldn't do that now without being punished.

"Yes" Yuki got comfortable besides Aidou. Something told her that it was going to be a long story.

Maroon eyes were staring at him with blinding fury that brought amusement in his own eyes. He was happy that the Kuran decided to show. He would have more fun this way. He was eager to see the look on Kuran's face when Zero wakes up with his new memory, rejecting Kuran because of him. All the time he waited will be worth once Zero wakes up.

"Look who decided to show up" Akira blurted.

He received a growl in response, which only increased his amusement.

"Last time I didn't give you a chance to defend yourself. How unfair of me, even though you were touching my property"extra emphasis was put on the word my, a thumb pointing carelessly at Zero without any worry. He wasn't scared at Kuran.

"What gives you the right to call Zero your property?"Kaname spoke at last.

"Destiny"Akira said. "He was my lover first, Kuran. We were lovers in the past. We spent most of our time together. When my sister told me he was dead I felt heart-broken. But I felt that he was somehow alive still. I searched for any sign of him for a year, and right when I was beginning to lose hope I found him again. Even if he didn't remember me I was still drawn to him, and he was drawn to me. If that is not destiny then I don't know what it is" the tone AKira took was firm enough to explain his point.

"You fool"Kaname growled out, "Zero was never drawn to you. It was you who invaded his mind. There is no such thing as destiny. There is only life and reality. And in reality, Zero wants nothing to do with you"

"Oh? "Akira raised his eyebrow. "And how do you even know if Zero is drawn to me or not?"

"He told me himself"

"Pretending not having heard the comment, Akira got closer to Kaname, opening the locket he showed Zero earlier. "You see this? This is proof that we belong together"

Akira felt a deep sting in his cheek, a red mark appearing when the pain did. Kuran had just slapped him.

"Wake up from that fantasy of yours. Zero does not love you anymore" Kaname told Akira in the same firm tone the raven used before.

"I know that"Kaname did not expect that response, or the one that followed it. "He's in love with you"

Kaname's eyes widened. Time slowed down as the words sunk into his head. Kiryu Zero-level D vampire, vampire hunter, moody ex-human- was in love with him? "Impossible"

"Not really. The bond you two have made it possible"Akira said almost happily. "But in an hour t wont matter. He will love me, Kuran. He wont remember his life at Cross Academy, the people he met there or even meeting you. He will love me and me only"Akira's aura started building up, the raven was ready to attack.

Kaname's lips were bared in a thin line, preparing his defense quickly. The aura concentrated on Akira's fist, giving it an unbelievable amount of force that lower ranking vampires have yet to feel. The raven moved forward in a flash, his fist aiming at Kaname's face, but Kaname grabbed it with both hands and slammed Akira to the wall.

"As far as I can tell, of all the opponents I have faced you are far the strongest" Kaname admitted. Blocking that punch still caused some damage to him.

Kaname moved his hands away form AKira's now normal fist. Instead, he formed a death grip around Akira's neck.

"F-Fuck"Akira cursed, trying to free himself from that horrible constriction. Failing miserable, Akira began using some of his powers. He closed his eyes, breathed deep, and next thing he knew he was standing right behind Kaname with two copies on each side, another body much like his own was still in Kaname's hands.

"What the-?"Kaname threw the body he held to the floor and stared at the three clones. Damn. One of them was enough.

"What's wrong Kuran? Too much to handle?"all three Akira teased, much to Kaname's annoyance.

"Not quite" Kaname shot an immense amount of power toward all three Akira, every single one of them disappearing when the power touched their 'bodies'. The unconscious Akira woke up coughing up blood, a hand in his mouth to prevent too much blood getting out.

The battle was only begining and Kaname felt like he was winning. Sure, AKira managed to surprise him with the previous attack but look at him now. The raven was coughing up a lot of blood. Kaname felt confidence inside of him, more than what he ha before. The chances of saving Zero were bigger now. He didn't plan on returning home with empty hands. He was going to win. Not only because he needed to. He also wanted to.

"Not bad"Akira said, whipping away the falling blood from his lips. "Managing to get rid of astral projection in less than a minute. I must say I'm impressed"Akira clapped at Kaname.

So Akira didn't clone himself after all. It was just astral projection. He should have expected it. Akira's specialty was playing tricks.

"Still, it's to early to end this, don't you think?" Akira continued.

Focusing all of his energy into one single form, a sword appeared in Akira's hands. The color of the sword was turquoise blue, a deep glow eminating from it. It wasn't the biggest sword, nor the smallest. It was just the perfect size for Akira to use.

He swung the sword at Kaname, who easily dodged it. There was a lot of energy inside the weapon. A mere touch and he could be easily weakened. He could not afford that right now.

Akira swung the sword once again, Kaname dodged it not so easily this time. Akira managed to rip some of Kaname's clothing. the moves were expert, strong, but not so well thought. Kaname had to find a way to get rid of the sword.

When the sword was coming at him for the third time, Kaname formed a shield with his energy as well. Akira began hitting the shield with countless attacks in order to break it. The shield was too strong whatsoever. Letting out a growl Akira put the sword away.

"You're no fun"the raven complained.

"I don't have to be fun. I just have to defeat you" the brunette replied.

"Is that so?"Akira asked, amusement clear in his deep-yet smooth- voice. "Then it's up to me to make this as much fun as it can be"

Akira aimed a kick at Kaname, who easily dodged. But what the brunette pureblood didn't manage to dodge was the punch he received in his abdomen. Still,e he ignored the pain and shove Akira off of him. With his claws out, Kaname made a gash at Akira's face, blood falling drop by drop from it. His vampires senses should be kicking in right now due to the scent of blood, but he felt so angry that his lust was all tried to sink his claws at Akira's heart, but Akira sent Kaname flying with his powers.

Kaname hit the wall. Hard. All of his body was hurting. Akira noticed that too.

"Hm...I wonder if this would work?"Akira asked to himself. Kaname looked at him confused for a second. He couldn't react when Akira threw himself over at him, lips over the delicious neck of the Pureblood Prince. "Let's see how you taste like"

Akira sunk his fangs in the pureblood's skin, taking large gulps of blood. Kaname tasted delicious, that he could not deny. But it was not the unique taste of Kiryu Zero. Kuran's blood was not good enough for him. When he took the sufficient amount of blood to heal himself faster AKira pulled away from Kaname.

Kaname fell to his knees, his hands supporting his body more than his legs could. He felt slightly weak, but not a big deal. He could still handle Akira with his remaining strength. Kaname gave one quick glance at Zero He has never seen Zero so calmed before in his entire life. The sight was enough to give Kaname more motivation to fight.

Akira had his eyes on another thing. The moon was turning even more red than before. Time was almost up.

"There isn't much time left Kuran. Only five minutes"Akira mocked.

"Five minutes is enough time. I will not let you have him"Kaname launched at Akira, the raven dodging in with ease.

"By the look of things it seems that he will be coming with me after all" Akira said, throwing an energy ball at Kaname. It grazed a small part of Kaname's arm, nothing too serious but it leave a burning feeling in the area.

"Maybe now it seems that way. But I might end up surprising you" Kaname grinned, concentrating part of his energy into a much more powerful ball than the one Akira had. "This will be over now"

Kaname shot the humongous blast at the raven pureblood. There was no way that Akira will be able to dodge that. Or so he thought.

Akira stayed still, his signature smirk on his face as the attack got nearer him.

"Revert"he said, and the attack did what Akira commanded. The blast that was meant for AKira to take was now coming right at Kaname. The impact was strong, a small explosion was caused by it. Smoke was clouding the area, making hard for AKira to see if Kaname was still alive or not. He heard uneasy breathing, that meant that the brunette pureblood was still alive. He stayed in place, Kaname's face was already visible through all the smoke.

Kaname was bleeding a lot. Small cuts were all over his body, the burns not making the pain any more bearable. Akira kept on surprising Kaname. The attack was one of the strngest he has ever launched. It could have killed a dozen of nobles with just a small touch. How could Akira even revert his own attack? He was not feeling so confident anymore.

"H-How?"Kaname asked.

"You mean how I attacked you with your own attack?"Akira asked, and Kaname nodded. Easy, I drank your blood. It gave me the ability to use any attack you sent me against yourself. It's only temporal but useful"

Somehow Kaname managed to get up, trembling legs and all. He was breathing heavily, his lungs working tirelessly to give him his much needed oxygen.

"This is not over. I will...ugh"Kaname clutched his stomach in pain, but ignored it in an instant, "I will take him with me, Hio. He doesn't belong with you anymore"

"Foolish man. You are near your limit and you still wish to oppose my word"Akira kicked Kaname, a cracking sound filled the room.

"The Kuran family always get what they want. We won't ever listen to nuisance like you"Kaname said. His arms were clutching hard his abdomen. there was no doubt that he had broken ribs. Doesn't matter. His pureblood abilities will heal everything fast.

"Last time I checked Rido was also a Kuran. He didn't have what he really wanted. If one Kuran fails, then it won't be a problem for the others as well" Akira said.

Beep. Beep. Beep.

Akira broke eye contact with Kaname, checking where the beeping was coming from. The alarm on his cellphone activated.

"It looks like time's up" and just to make sure that hsi words were true, the raven checked the night sky. Yes! The moon was completely red now.

"No"Kaname gasped. Has he really failed?

Blue orbs were directed towards the silverette lying on bed, who was groaning softly and opening his lilac orbs. Akira walked to Zero, who stared at him for the longest time. Not a word was muttered in that time, only silence that made the tension even greater. Then, a soft smile spread in Zero's face.

"Akira" the ex-human mumbled happily, sitting down and burring his fance on Akira's chest.

Akira took Zero's chin delicately with his fingers, his and Zero's face only inches away.

"Anything wrong, my love?" Akira asked.

"No...just a small headache" Zero replied.

Kaname felt his heart breaking at the scene. They looked so...happy. Zero didn't even noticed him there, and Akira clearly forgot about his presence.

"Let me make you forget about it then"Kaname's heart entirely broke when Akira said those words, connecting his lips to Zero in a sweet lip-lock that Zero eagerly responded to. Kaname wanted to jump in between them and just take Zero back home, but if Zero's soul has truly been modified then it would be no use. He was now a stranger in Zero's eyes.

As for Zero, he continued kissing Akira. The kiss turned from a sweet one to a passionate one. Akira's tongue sliding inside of Zero's mouth and dancing alongside Zero's own tongue, exchanging each other's flavor. The silverette noticed a peculiar taste in Akira. It was someone else's blood. And it was delicious.

"From who did you drink blood?"Zero asked when they both pulled away.

"From that pest over there"Akira signaled at Kaname. "He tried to kill you while you were asleep. I came back from a hunt and found him just when he was going to drink all of your precious blood. But don't worry. He won't do anything now. Right, Kuran?" Akira lied.

Kaname was beyond angry. How dare this pathetic pureblood make up such of a story. If only he weren't so weak right now he will show this other pureblood real power. He was foolish to let his blood get taken away. He knew that if that action did not happened then Zero would be saved. One simple mistake and everything got ruined.

"Da-damn you" Kaname muttered lowly.

"Let's go home now, shall we?"Akira asked, picking up Zero.

"What about this vampire?" Zero asked.

Great! Now according to Zero he was just an insignificant vampire.

"Leave him there. I doubt that he would survive the night" Akira told Zero.

"Alright"

The pair took off, leaving a wounded Kaname alone on the floor. His wounds would be all healed by morning, Akira knew that as was not really worried about his injury. He was now more worried about Zero. And besides that, how can he face Yuki knowing that he has failed in fulfilling the request she asked for him to do?

TBC...

The fight scene sucks. And yeah people, Zero's soul got modified O.O OMG! What will happen next? Here is a small preview

"I'm not sure if I'm ready for that just yet Akira"Zero told him, a blush tinted his cheeks in a beautiful way.

Akira sensed as Zero's heart began thumping faster and faster because of his anxiety. He could tell hat the ex-human was feelign nervous and awkward. He could not have Zero feeling like that now, could he?

"Then at least allow me to pleasure you in another way"Akira requested, hoping for a positive answer.

"I...I don't know if we should do anything like this right now"Zero kept negating. But Akira was stubborn.

"You won't regret this my love. We won't go so far yet" Akira gave Zero a charming smile, one of those smiles that made you fall over the spell of the bearer. He didn't know what Akira had in mind now. If they won't go very far then what does the raven has planned for him?
