A/N: This chapter was hard to write. My computer crashed and I had to write this using the Note section of my iPod touch. Thank goodness my brother is working; I managed to get a quick hold of his computer to update this. He won't let me use it ever. So I had to sneak :O Also, I have a Twitter account, in which I will upload a picture of Hio Akira drawn by one of my friends. I am BloodyRedMoon and I am new so I have not so many friends.

Chapter 10
Pained, hazel eyes opened slowly, bringing their owner back to the real world. The unwelcome rays of sunlight made their appearance, thus making the weak pureblood blink a couple of times to get adjusted to the sun's dancing glow. As a vampire, mornings usually meant that it was time to sleep, but he had enough rest for now.
He recalled the event that took place not too long ago, knowing that he had failed. Kaname felt disappointed with himself, and the knowledge that he had to go home and explain to his sister what had happened—he could already see Yuki's face filled with sorrow.
"Kaname-sama!" Ruka's distant voice came into the scenery.
Kaname, although being a powerful pureblood, had yet to be completely healed from all of his wounds. Akira was by far the most powerful opponent he had ever faced, and the wounds the raven had inflicted upon him would no doubt take a day or so to be completely healed. Kaname Kuran does not fail at anything, he thought to himself. Next time the two came face to face, he'd be ready—the stronger of the two. And he would bring Zero back to Cross Academy.
Kaname tried to stand up, but ended up falling to his knee due to lack of energy.
"Kaname!" Takuma rushed over to his friend to offer his support. "What happened?"
"Hio Akira had the upper hand," Kaname said lowly.
Takuma frowned. "Well, you need some rest. You look awful," he stated bluntly.
Kaname stood this time thanks to the other's support, eyeing the rest of the nobles who stood stationary at the entrance. Their eyes flashed red, their fists curled tightly, and their teeth bared to keep themselves under control. He knew that he was the reason for the discomfort. Blood poured from the wounds that tainted his flesh, minute splatters of Hio Akira's blood on his clothing, as well. Two purebloods' blood—maybe even the two most powerful purebloods—were driving the nobles crazy. Takuma, who had been by Kaname's side most of his life, was used to his scent and his self-control was almost flawless. The odor was tempting, but he wouldn't go insane because of it.
Takuma gently placed Kaname's head besides his neck. The pureblood could feel all of the crimson elixir flowing in the blonde's jugular vein, absently licking his lips.
"Drink now," the noble ordered. "You will heal faster."
Kaname was too weak to complain. He sunk his fangs into his friend's neck, drinking large gulps of Takuma's life liquid. Takuma couldn't hold back his trembling when Kaname began draining faster. He saw the jealousy in Ruka's face, the horror in Aidou's eyes, and Shiki and Kain, who wore their usual expressions when the scent of Kaname's blood was weaker.
"Thank you," Kaname said finally, lapping at the soft flesh until the scar had faded.
"Do you need anything else?" Aidou asked the leader.
"Not now." Truthfully, Kaname felt better already. He managed to stand up independently, though he still had energy to regain.
"What are you planning to do about Kiryu?" Ruka asked.
"We'll get him back," he confirmed much to the woman's annoyment. "I can still feel him; the small part of our bond that remains intact is enough. It's not very strong, but that could always be because Hio is with him now."
Kaname was sure that Aidou and Takuma had filled everyone in about his bond with Zero. He was glad of the bond; right now, it was the key to Zero's freedom. Or so he hoped.
"Why can't we leave him be and carry on with our lives? I don't see Kiryu being worth all these problems!" Ruka brushed back a blond strand of hair from her face, indignant that the pureblood was paying more attention to the ex-human than her—not that Kaname paid her much attention to begin with.
"Ruka..." Kain warned her, knowing that the careless comment could cause Kaname to lash out.
"We can't leave him, Ruka, knowing he and I are bonded. I am responsible of him just as much as he is of me," he explained.
"He doesn't care for you as far as I can see!" Ruka was pushing her luck now.
Kaname restrained from slapping her. She was needed for the search and hitting a lady would not be an appropriate thing to do, he told himself mentally.
"The effects of the stone won't allow him." Takuma decided to defend the silveret, thus defending his friend's words.
Ruka growled, but said nothing more.
"What's the plan, Kaname-sama?" Shiki finally spoke.
"First, we head back home and rest. At night, we'll start tracking him using the bond."
"What if the bond is blocked away completely by Hio Akira?" Kain asked.
"Hio Akira is obsessed with Zero, but even he has his limits. The bond will be stronger the farther Zero is from him. That is our advantage."
"We'll continue later then. Let's head home and rest; we're going to need it," Takuma told them, receiving nods from all over the room.
Kaname was the first one to get outside. When he stepped on the grass-coated ground, he signaled the Level B vampires to stop. "I will be the one who tells Yuki about this. Am I clear?"
"Yes," they naturally said in unison.
"Good."
They made their way to Cross Academy, anticipation of the fight coming near and clouding their senses.
Yoruhime was a famous city known for the shooting stars that appear every month. The nights are beautiful, the sky covered in a black blanket that was adorned by the universe's sparkling tears. The nights were more breathtaking than in any other place. 'The City of Vampires' is how its habitants called Yoruhime. Nturally, vampires were the only inhabitants of the city, wealthy vampires at that. No human was allowed in without being turned into a vampire and being sold as a slave. Purebloods, nobles, and the slaves of the purebloods; those were the social ranks of the city.
Hio Akira, or Fujimori Kiba (that was the name he introduced himself as when he first entered the city) was the proud owner of one of the most elegant and beautiful mansions in the land, isolated from the town but approachable. Guarded by high, iron bars inside awaited paradise. Bushes surrounding water fountains, plants dotted with yellow flowers, and a 'small' dog house, which was the size of an entire living room. One Siberian husky, Rin, resided inside.
The inside of the mansion would leave you in awe. The marmol floor nicely complemented the beige walls. The first floor included the kitchen, living room, dining room, and guest bathroom for staff. On the west side of the living room was a door that led to a pool. The second floor was basically Akira's own room, along with his personal bathroom. The third floor was where all social gatherings were held.
Akira's favorite part was the room, of course. It was enormous; ten glass decors shielded the light bulb, giving the room more light while doing so. A coffee table held a red vase that had no flowers, a television lie in front of a large, leather sofa, and a bookcase sat on the east side of the room. Picture frames from the Japanese culture adorned the plain beige walls, windows were closed down to prevent disturbance, and a bathroom was also on the east side of the room. What Akira liked the most was his dark, wooded bed covered in teal bed sheets, a comfy mattress hidden in them. But he could care less about his fancy bed at the moment—he cared only on the boy he was ravaging.
Wet tongues clashed together in a powerful lip lock, swirling and dancing together with passion. The raven's hands explored the naked torso, loving the feeling of the toned body he was touching. Zero felt hot, panting when he pulled away from their kiss to begin a new one. They were hardening, Akira teasingly rubbing his clothed erection against Zero's own.
Euphoric friction was created between them was unstoppable. Teasing fingers twirled around Zero's pink nipple over and over. It hardened deliciously. So Akira replaced his fingers with his mouth, sucking the pink spot, an action that caused Zero's fingers to grip the bed sheets hard enough for his knuckles to turn white. Akira grinned, twirling the nipple with his tongue, and then giving it a playful nibble.
Akira's hands traveled downwards, slipping inside Zero's pants—even inside his underwear—and found what he was looking for. A sticky substance began spilling on his hand, hard, hot flesh being the cause of it.
"Akira!" It wasn't a moan. Zero wanted to tell him something.
"Yes?" Akira asked, slipping his hand away.
"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 that the ex-human was feeling nervous and awkward.
Not wanting the other to feel that way, Akira searched his mind for a substitution. "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 wouldn't go very far, then what did the raven have planned for him?
Akira's hand was repositioned in his pants quickly. However, the silveret knew that his body was demanding something. Release was a must. Although he had to admit something felt off—not right. When those thoughts came into mind, he pushed them away, cringing when pants were being slid down.
"Akira! I'm serious!" Zero angrily said.
"So am I."
"Sto...stop!" To his horror, the raven was about to take off his boxers.
"I will make you feel so good, though." Akira gave Zero a sloppy kiss. He could get a better view of the bulge hidden beneath the cloth—not a full view but still a good view. With his index finger he began touching it, getting pretty excited himself.
Zero's erection twitched a little, a good sign so far. He could smell Zero's juices already, salty with a mixture of Zero's unique essence. Sweat rolled from both their foreheads to the bed, the pinned boy panting heavily, a cute blush spread across his cheeks and his hormones were demanding for more.
Finally, the boxers were off and the full view Akira wanted of the boy's most private area was received by a blue, lustful gaze. Pre-cum was dripping like a cascade, wetting Zero's dick to make it even more inviting. Akira's tongue ran over his dry lips, anticipating the fun he'd have.
"Ah!" moaned Zero, Akira's index finger teasing the tip of his swollen member. That simple touch felt so intense, so damn good. And still so off.
"You like this." The raven began pumping the erection, hand recovered in the slick substance dripping from his new lover.
Zero's eyes rolled to his back, the dry feeling of fingers replace by the wetness of Akira's tongue lapping on his dick as if it were a popsicle. The intensity was surreal, the way this simple action could bring this sensation that made him shiver. And when the whole mouth was wrapped around his member...he lost it.
He bucked his hips without even realizing, wanting a lot more. Involuntary moans kept escaping pink lips; a scream also made its way out when Akira hummed, sending vibrations through his body.
Akira took the member in, then out, then in, then out, formatting a pattern. He could feel that Zero was about to cum. Just a little longer and...
"Ahh!" Zero screamed, his juices shooting into Akira's mouth, which the pureblood swallowed eagerly.
Akira pulled away, French kissing Zero so the hunter could taste himself. But the both pulled away fast. Mostly because of something Zero felt against his leg.
"You have a little problem there." Zero pointed at the bulge in Akira's pants.
"Are you going to take care of it?"
Zero nuzzled his nose against Akira's neck. "Yes."
"Then I won't stop you."
After finishing their activities, both vampires cuddled together on the large bed. They were flushed, sweaty, and most of all... satisfied.
"I could get use to this," commented Akira, massaging Zero's scalp.
"Yeah."
"If you were this passionate over a blow job, then I can't wait to see how you are when I finally take you," said Akira, earning a punch in the arm in return.
"Don't say things like that!" Zero scolded " Pervert pureblood"
"You like it," Akira teased.
"I wonder why." And he did wonder why. Something didn't feel right, but then again...nothing is perfect.
To be honest, the silveret didn't remember some things at all. He'd yet to ask Akira about the strange gem on his chest, not recalling how or why he had it. When did it suddenly appear?
He remembered some things. Like how Akira saved him after Shizuka went mad, or how they both moved here for safety, and even pointless dates they had enjoyed. But there were black holes in his memory. Like the brunet man. It was the first time he saw him and he felt something strong pulling him towards him.
"Zero?" Said person blinked, staring at the raven that called his name.
" Are you okay, love? You spaced out for a while," Akira asked.
"It's nothing." Zero brushed away the question.
"You know you can tell me anything, right?"Akira's voice was so soft and sincere...
"I know." His chest tightened as he murmured those words.
"Then how about you tell me what's bothering this hard head of yours, hm?" Akira poked Zero's head.
Zero scowled. "I have nothing to say."
"You do," stated Akira. "You just hate sharing your problems with others.
Zero smiled. Of course Akira knew that, yet he still continued to press the matter.
"Akira, I'm tired. I was thinking about tonight, about what happened between us," lied Zero.
Akira believed it, fortunately. He pulled Zero closer to his own body, hugging him. "Let's stay like this for a while."
"Alright."
"Oh, before I forget to tell you. We are going to town tomorrow. I have some... business to take care of." Akira told his lover.
"Hn," grunted a sleepy Zero.
Akira kissed his forehead softly. "Goodnight…"

"Sorry!" Zero apologized, kneeling down to help pick up the things he caused the poor girl to drop.
"Where have you been? We've been looking for you for a long time, you idiot! Do you have any idea how worried I was? Not even Kaname-sama was able to find you, considering you are bonded and all that!" the brunette began rambling.
This girl is crazy, thought Zero. "Er...do I know you?" the silveret awkwardly asked.
The girl looked taken aback. "Yes. Don't you remember me?"
"I am confident that I have never seen you before. I would have remembered someone like you." Seriously, Zero had never heard of someone who rambled like this girl.
"Zero..." the girl stared at him sadly, "I know you. What happened to you? Why can't you remember me?"

Man, my fingers hurt. Click on the review button for Kaname to save Zero...eventually.
