A/N: I apologies if I get character personalities and such wrong in advanced; it's been a good few months since I watched the anime.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, wasn't as long as I intended it to be but the next will hopefully make up for that.

Chapter 8: Betrayal


Kaname POV

He hadn't quite been able to control himself earlier and let himself almost get carried away. He'd almost ripped Aido's head off and practically ate Zero. He could tell Zero was scared, the way he unknowingly trembled by his hand was proof enough, whether the reason be his response to Aido or the way he was looking at him.

He couldn't believe he was losing this control so easily; control that took many years to build as it all seemingly shattering down around him. What happened to the normal calm and collected Kaname? Was it his new found lust for the hunter's blood?

I wish I could read his mind...

I wish I could know what he was thinking...

I wish I could know how he really feels...

Such a powerful pureblood yet he couldn't do those simple things, the things he longed to know would always be a mystery to him, how irritating.

Frustrating thoughts continuously ran through his mind as he tried to make sense of them all, questions that he didn't have the answers to and assumptions that could or may not be correct. Why had Zero fled so quickly after Aido took his leave? Was he perhaps scared? Frightened? Scared of me? He furrowed his brows in confusion.

Did he regret last night? Was the very last thing that ran through his mind as it remained there troubling and worrying him for the rest of his day. He would ask him. When they met later he would ask him. That one thing he needed to know right now.

Zero POV

He had managed to escape, escape far away from the moon dorms, far away from Kaname. He ended up back at the stables, the same place he'd always go when he were running away from something, anything. He wouldn't even know where he was running to; just that he'd end up in this destination on whatever occasion, and it came somewhat of a habit to him in his subconscious sense of direction.

This was his real solitude, his real sanctuary. It often made him wonder about why he went in search for one. Look at where it led him. He didn't know if he'd regret everything that had happened in the past two days, or if he was glad that something had changed. Anything other than the boring ordinary... He thought, yet he didn't know he'd bargained for something as big as this.

It was quiet in the barn, too quiet for his liking. This didn't help the fact that he was still physically exhausted. Lilly was fast asleep on the hay as he nestled down beside her. He hated the thought of her being alone, as he knew the feeling, he knew it greatly, knew how isolating it could feel. He usually dedicated at least one night a week to sleep with his dear.

Yuuki would sure be furious at him missing his prefect duties, yet again, but it's not like she wasn't used to it. He could deal with her annoyance later. A short nap couldn't hurt... He barely formed the coherent sentence before slipping away into unconsciousness once more.

-*-_*-_*-_-*-_-*-

He was awoken by the soft shuffling of hay, it suddenly brought his mind back to that oh so fateful night where he was bestowed with his first kiss, which brought his thoughts all too inevitably to the man himself; Kaname.

Crap.

He was supposed to meet him. Vision hazy and partially dizzy, he stumbled as he rose himself from the hay. Forgetting that it was the familiar noise of an intruder that sounded, snapping him out of his slumber, but that soon came back to him when the figure all too quickly pushed him up against the wooden stable wall.

It was dark, very dark. He must have been sleeping for a very long time. The figure was right in front of him, pushing his tall frame up against him. He couldn't make out any features, but the distinct smell of cigarette smoke wafting through the air told him exactly who it was.

"M-Master?" His voice was barely a whisper. Oh god He couldn't believe it. The man was... So... close. Why was he here?

How he would have wished for something like this to have happened before his previous 'problems' he decided to refer them to, with Kaname.
Hands were roaming, roaming about the surface of his body, clawing their way right into his core. Reaching to undo the buttons of his shirt, he stopped the intruder in his tracks. He was confused. So many overwhelming emotions, he wasn't someone to be played around with. Kaname persistently popped into his head every 5 seconds, that didn't help his situation. How could he do that to him? One part of his mind questioned, while the slightly devious side of his brain couldn't help the even more important question; What if he was to find out?

"He doesn't have to know" A husky whisper answered his unspoken question, which also confirmed it was Yagari.

Oh god. This is so wrong.

Even more wrong than the whole Zero Kaname thing. Not only was this man several years older than him, he was his tutor, and he was a guy. There couldn't be anything more wrong then that. Although those factors sprung to mind, he couldn't help remembering all his fantasies about the man before him, all the desires he'd contained for so long. Oh how he once dreamed he was touching him like this.

Wow. What a whore.

Had he suddenly become everyone's sex slave? That's what it felt like.

"W-Why are you doing this?" He questioned as the man was still trying to pry his shirt open.

"I know you want me, Zero" He shuddered involuntary. Everyone seemed to have the tendency to pause before saying his name; it had such an effect on him. "You've wanted me for a long time; I can smell your desire." That desire had not long ago been forgotten when Kaname had re-emerged into his life as something he saw other than his enemy. He couldn't help the fact that the forgotten desire was slowly awakening.

"But, what about you?" He couldn't stop the words tumbling out of his mouth. Instantly regretting it, thinking he should have perhaps denied what he had previously said.

"What about me?" He chuckled almost mockingly. "You're as oblivious as always I see." Taking both of Zero's wrists in one of his hands, he pinned them securely above his head, tight against the wood.

He couldn't help the fleeting thought pass through his mind;

Was he going to rape me? He laughed inwardly. It's not like I'm stopping him...

Zero gasped as the older male massaged him through his trousers. He was overly confused. Past feeling all raining down on him at once, he still felt dizzy and slightly nauseated but couldn't help the stomach-clenching sensations that were squeezing away at him with Yagari's rough touch. What the hell?

As if drawn suddenly unconscious two little angels occupied his vision, a little Zero with angel wings and a small halo, and the other with a tail and horns like the devil himself.

"Stop him now Zero" The angel spoke firmly, with arms crossed tightly across his chest.

"You've always wanted this, haven't you Zero?" The demonic angel voiced in that all too persuading tone he couldn't resist. "You may never get a chance like it again" He continued.

Oh god, when he puts it that way...

Damn it, why did these two have to keep showing up? This wasn't a damned cartoon!

Both images soon but disappeared when suddenly Yagari's lips were upon his own. His lips weren't soft like Kaname's, they were rough. Gasping at the sudden touch, a tongue entered his mouth, moist and persistent as it roamed its way over every surface in his mouth.

When both tongues met, it was like all his unspoken questions were suddenly answered, all those once longing desires fulfilled. Zero couldn't quite say he was engaging himself, in fact he refused to say he was, yet he couldn't say he was pushing the man away either.

He was skating on thin ice, a very thin line of ice.

Review and let me know what you think :)
