Angelic Knight
Kaito & White Lily
A few months had passed when Zero hasn't seen Kaname, and he was not happy one bit. He moped, cried and just couldn't live without him. Until one day at dinner Kaien had told him that he will be getting a new relative, Zero glared at the man and stormed off to his room. He would rather shoot the next idiot who was offending him then live with a stepbrother. He was glaring at the wall, floor, mirror, bed─ hell even his reflection wasn't safe. He laid in bed looking at the light blue color, he wished Kaname was here with him. He fell asleep for the night hoping that when he wakes up, Kaname will be there looking at him with a smile on his handsome face.
It has been six months and it felt like an eternity has passed since he had last seen Kaname. He should really stop, he was acting like a love-struck girl waiting for her prince charming to come and rescue her from her boring ass life. Psh! Zero was not going to be like that, and sure as hell he isn't the girl! He will meet the new family member and try to be friends, yes! He will make friends and make memories together. Kaname and Yuki both will make memories and bring them when they come. He and the new addition can make their own memories and all four of them can laugh about it later. Yes, he already has his plan set for the return of the Kurans!
"Zero, hurry! He'll be here soon!" Kaien squealed in happiness and the small teen could hear his father's clapping hands.
"Coming," Zero rolled his eyes walking down the stairs, he was tired because Kaien would drag him out of the house to help out draw the building for the new school. And the fool told him to clean up the spare room that was going to be the new addition's, the bastard didn't even lift a finger to help! His hands hurt badly and he was even more sleepy. His gaze landed on Kaien talking to some dude with an ugly face. A thick scar adorned the left side of his cheek, going up to stop a little before the hairline. He had light-blonde hair with grey eyes and is a pale skin.
The man was looking at Zero, he looked at him up and down, then turned back to Cross leaving. Zero didn't like the man, it gave him a bad vibe. But his bad vibe got ignored as he looked at the slightly taller boy with ash-brown colored hair and chocolate-colored eyes. He looked older than he did, but Zero smiled being polite and stuck his hand out looking at him with a beautiful smile.
"Hi, I'm Zero." he smiled beautifully making the older boy look at him with a blank face.
"Welcome, and you can call me daddy, dad, papa, anything with that and we will live happily ever after." Kaien wanted to hug the older teen who looked around fourteen maybe thirteen, but he didn't care! His heart soared through the air making him happy to have another son!
"Touch me and you will die," the preteen said glaring at the man who stopped mid step.
"All right, but it's common curtsy that you give your name after someone gives them to you." Kaien smiled making the preteen look at Zero with his blank face.
"I'm Kaito, call me big brother and you might want to sleep with one eye open. My room." Kaito said looking at his stepfather with a bored gaze.
"We can at least be friends," Zero huffed not liking the older teen's attitude, god he sounded just like one of those girls complaining about her stomach.
Kaito just stared at him and Zero rolled his eyes taking him to his room. If Kaito was going to be like this then he will make his own memories, screw his attitude. Zero opened the door and the preteen slightly shoved him back, the small silverette didn't know if it was accidentally or on purpose? He growled and tugged his sleeve making the older teen look down at him with a grimaced.
"If you are going to start acting like a jerk, you better watch it! I may be small, but I can have a lot of energy when it comes to fighting!" Zero glared with his huge lavender eyes making the corners of the older teens lips twitch.
"In your dreams," Kaito ruffled Zero's hair and slightly shoved him out of the room.
"Jerk," Zero said it loud enough for the older teen to hear.
He walked to his room and closed it. He hasn't heard from Kaname in a while, he wished that he were here instead of Kaito and his moody attitude. He looked at the darkening sky seeing the stars shine under the moon, something inside of him flickered and he touched his chest feeling it warm and fuzzy. He closed his eyes feeling sleep come and take over.
The next day Zero got up early to cook breakfast, he was in a white button up shirt and jeans, he yawned stretching his hands up showing his flat stomach. He saw Kaito looking at him up and down, Zero blushed and put both hands down, he ignored him and began to take out pans to make some hard over easy eggs for Kaien and scrambled for him. Kaito drank his coffee and kept looking at him unnerved making Zero feel like he was being raped.
"What do you want?" he asked looking at Kaito with a hard gaze.
"Make me poached eggs." Kaito didn't even bother to ask.
"To hell with you," Zero turned around to keep on cooking, he took out bacon and some sausage and put them on the oven. He then grabbed the bread and put them inside the toaster.
"Make me poached eggs, please."
Zero jumped, he turned around to see Kaito standing right behind him. He didn't even notice the older teen get up from the chair. Zero could smell the coffee from the older teen meaning that he was that close to his personal space. Zero looked at him with a blank look, he then slightly shoved him backwards to get him off his bubble. Kaito smirked seeing Zero glare at him, he wanted to pinch those cheeks that looked smooth. Zero then turned around adjusting his apron properly.
"Since you finally asked nicely, I will." Zero said seeing Kaito still behind him.
"Thanks," Kaito whispered right next to Zero's ear.
"Get off me!" Zero glared hoping that he will back off.
"Hn," he smirked taking a seat inside the kitchen table.
Not long Kaien bounced inside the kitchen with a good mood─as always. Zero was still cooking and he ignored both idiots inside the kitchen with him. Everything would have been so much better if Kaname was here smiling his way, only the both of them inside the kitchen. Zero put the food on the plates and gave them the food, he didn't realize that he was smiling softly while thinking of Kaname.
"Aw~ my son will make a perfect housewife someday!" Kaien hugged Zero making the teen freeze on the spot.
"Never call me a housewife!" Zero hissed shoving the future chairman away from his personal space.
"But you cook, do all the house work and laundry. Isn't that what a housewife does?" Kaien faked sobbed on Kaito's shoulder.
"If I don't do them then who will?" Zero glared crossing his arms in front of his chest with a spatula in one hand.
Two months had passed and Zero was walking to the grocery store. A list on one hand and on the other an umbrella, the news said that it might rain and he didn't want catch a cold. He glared at anything that moved as if it was their fault that he was stuck doing the groceries. Kaito went off to god knows where, and Kaien wouldn't shut up about his back hurting. Well maybe if he stopped from falling down his bed while sleeping then it would have been much better. Zero sighed and entered the store not realizing that the night was getting darker and darker by the minute thanks to the rain clouds.
He was out of the store when it was raining, Zero sighed glad that he wasn't carrying huge bags. He opened his umbrella and walked out of the store towards his home. He watched people run as if the rain was acid, he snorted when high school girls screamed about their hair and make-up. He ignore them and kept walking down the deserted street ignoring a bad feeling he had. Something moved from the corner of his eye and he quickly turned to see nothing. He heard birds chirp and got out of the trees as if something bad was about to happen like in the movies. He froze when a hand slowly trailed from his arm up towards his neck.
Zero turned around forgetting where he was and came face to face with an ugly human, his eyes were wide and small black beady marbles were looking at him with a haunted smile. Zero could have sworn he had seen him before, but where? He felt panic surge him and backed away forgetting his umbrella and bags. His heart pulsed warning him to get out of there, he ran and didn't get too far. The vampire caught him and slammed him to the nearest tree, Zero watched stars bounce around his head before he shook them off. He looked at the hungry face looking at his covered neck. The vampire ripped the light-purple scarf off his slender neck and hissed seeing the beautiful neck for his pleasure to bite.
Zero was frozen, his mind kept playing on that awful night making him not able to call for help. He saw the things mouth close on his slender neck and bit down hard, Zero was in shock, he didn't want this! He closed his eyes remembering when he was four and couldn't do a thing to stop it. But now that he was a little older he could fight. Zero struggled and couldn't get the vampire off him. He felt weak, no, he has to fight it and make Kaname proud, Zero had tears fall down his eyes when the thought of never seeing Kaname struck him. He wanted Kaname to come rescue him, but he was all the way in Europe and by the time he gets here, he will be dried and dead.
"Let him go!" Bang!
Zero looked up to see the vampire hiss out before he tore out of Zero's neck and glared at the person who shot him. He let go of Zero and ran off jumping on top of the buildings leaving them with a new-found speed. Kaito tried to go after it, but Zero was loosing footing and fell to the ground. Rain and blood mixed in the cement falling down the sewers. Kaito held Zero close to his body, the rain made his hair stuck to his face, Zero was beyond pale and the wound kept bleeding. He had tears falling down his face, it must have hurt, but wouldn't the pain be horrible?
"Let's go home," Kaito grabbed the bags, umbrella and left the scene with a pale Zero on his arms, his head rested on the older teen's neck making him worry.
They got home and saw Kaien almost faint at the sight of his beloved son. He quickly ushered Kaito out of the room and began to fix Zero up using his medical skills that he had learned while he was still working as a hunter. Once he was finished, Kaien smiled at his work. He then walked out to see Kaito sitting on the floor shaking on the floor, he knew the small hunter helped saved Zero.
"He'll be fine." Kaien smiled patting the older teen's head and moved to bring some orange juice along with some Oreo's for when the boy woke up.
Kaito walked inside the room and saw Zero laying on the bed, he looked extremely pale and so innocent. He watched his chest go up and down slowly, something told him that the boy will be fine, yet─ he was worried. That vampire didn't die after he shot him with an anti-vampire weapon! What was happening? He needed to ask someone about it, but right now Zero needed his attention.
"I promise to be by your side and protect you," Kaito leaned forward and kissed his cheek. Zero slowly grew inside his heart and before he knew it, he was already planted.
More months had passed and Kaito began to feel very strange. Every time Zero smiled his way, his heart would beat fast without missing a beat. Even a touch can make him blush, but he would deny that he had any feelings for Zero. Since that rainy day, he promised to be by his side and take care of him. Right now Zero was bouncing up and down with a letter in one hand.
"My what's gotten you in high spirits?" Kaien asked drinking his juice with a newspaper on the other hand.
"I finally got a letter from Kaname after a year and a half!" the thirteen year old smiled while he looked at the letter with that beautiful smile.
"Who the hell is that?" Kaito asked glaring at the letter, he didn't like this feeling that was washing over him.
"He's my best friend! I'm going to my room to read it!" Zero left both people in the kitchen.
"Who's Kaname?" Kaito asked seeing Kaien's soft expression turn to him.
"Well Kaname is someone very close to Zero. Let me start from the start when Kaname first met Zero..."
Kaien had left out about the angel warrior who was found with Zero. He only told the teen about Haruka finding Zero on a star-filled night. Kaito is a hunter and his family is royalty around the hunter society, and if they learn about Zero and the angel─then they will take the boy away and kill him off. Or worse, use him to give them the location, that's why he had quit the association, they were led by the wrong president. A very power-hungry gender-bending man, and he will never forgive him for killing off the King of angles. Then he told him of how close they grew up and promised to never leave each other's side. Kaito didn't like the idea of Zero and Kaname promising to stay by each other's side, he's only allowed to be by the silverette's side. He didn't need a human to be Zero's savior, since he's training to be a hunter─he will be his savior.
Zero smiled after he read the letter, Kaname was coming in a couple more months! Finally his promise will be complete! Zero smiled feeling his heart soar to the sky, he didn't know why he is now feeling like butterflies invaded his stomach. He laid on his back and put the letter in front of him rereading the beautiful handwriting that only belonged to the prince. They still haven't caught the hunters that were killing off the vampire kind.
"What does it say? A love confession?" a cold voice spoke making the silverette look at the owner.
"Ass wipe, I don't even know what love is! But he's coming home in less than a year!" Zero sat up and smiled once again making Kaito's heart skip a beat.
"You're still pure, wait a few more months and you might fall for someone who will be worth it," Kaito slowly closed the door and walked towards Zero.
"What are you doing?" Zero backed away making his back hit the wall.
"Maybe the one who you've been looking for is someone very close..." Kaito leaned forward whispering those words in front of Zero's lips.
"I'm not looking for anyone. I'm waiting for Kaname." he smiled not getting what Kaito is about to do. Oh the innocence...
"What if he isn't coming back," Kaito only needed a breath away to touch those lips that belonged to an angel. Not knowing the irony of it.
"Idiot!" Zero head butted him making the older teen's lip split. "Never say that!" Zero shoved him out of his room with force he didn't even know he had and closed the door not coming out for the rest of the day.
After that event Zero would glare at Kaito, when Kaito tried to make him mad. Zero began to hate him, bit by bit. Until something unexpected happened that made Zero think over twice. Zero had discovered that Kaito had a soft spot for animals and had a small puppy with him. It looked small, a couple of days old, maybe.
"Come out, I know you're there." Zero jumped when he heard Kaito's soft voice. He was sure that he couldn't have that vocal in him!
"What have you here?" Zero asked looking over Kaito's shoulder.
"It's a pup, I found her mother injured a while ago. She died and I took her in. Wonder if Cross will let us keep her." Kaito said making Zero smile at the pup.
"It's a wolf! A real wolf! Is it a boy or girl?" he asked wanting to hold the pup who squirmed in discomfort, it was scared of them.
"I'm not sure, we'll have to ask the idiot," Kaito said giving it to Zero.
Zero smiled thanking him and held the white wolf in his hands, the wolf quickly took a liking to him and began to lick his cheeks. Zero petted the white fur feeling it soft and warm, he smiled seeing the dark eyes popping out the most in the pure white fur. He smirked when Kaito tried to pet it, it snarled and growled at him. Kaito raised an eyebrow at the growl, but shrugged and lead the way back home.
"Any names yet?" he asked looking at the now happy pup.
"No..." he said looking around the forest.
They walked until they were home and saw their stepfather cooking something. Dang, they just arrived to their death, Kaito swore and Zero paled with eyes wide. Both shared a look and Kaito looked at the wolf who was nuzzling Zero's neck with a happy yip. Zero froze when he saw Kaito's smile, it was beautiful and he looked almost...normal. He shook his head and glared at the ground for finding Kaito's smile beautiful.
"Do you know if Noir will come and teach us anything new?" Zero asked distracting himself from his racing heart. No he is not liking Kaito! No way!
"Actually he'll be taking us to our first mission next weekend." Kaito said trying to remember his teacher.
"Cool," Zero smiled making Kaito look at him with a softening gaze, and Zero missed it while his gaze landed on the pup.
"My children! I have prepared dinner for when you arrive~" Kaien sang with a spin making his frilly apron swirl along with his spin.
"Ah, Cross Zero wants to ask you something." Kaito said shoving Zero to the spotlight making said teen glare at him.
"What is it?" Kaien raised an eyebrow and Zero showed him the pup who was looking at Kaien with disinterest.
"Aw, a pup! A wolf, how cute." Kaien tried to pat it but it began top growl, and the man didn't notice and held it up to eye level.
"Can we keep it! And what is it a boy or girl?" Zero asked looking at Kaien with wide eyes making him look younger than he actually was.
"It's a girl, and she doesn't seem to like me much..." Kaien said handing her to Zero seeing that the pup yipped and licked Zero's cheek.
"She sure likes him," Kaito mumbled.
"I don't know, she was born to be in the wilderness and might take time to costume to our way of style─"
"Please daddy, can we keep her. I promise to feed her, bathe her and take good care of her. Please daddy~" Zero used the magic words that would make Kaien not even think of his answer. He had the man wrapped around his finger, and Zero will take advantage of it.
"Yes my son! He called me daddy! Oh God. I knew this day will come! Keep her as long as you keep calling me daddy." Kaien sobbed holding Zero who tried to struggle out of his grip.
That dinner, which Zero made Kaito distract Kaien with a promise that they'll go to the fair downtown coming next month everything turned out perfect. Kaien praised his son's cooking all the way until both teens were tired of hearing it. Kaito would shut the man up with his cold voice telling him to shut up and he will cry to Zero and tell him that Kaito was being mean to him. Rolling his amethyst eyes, he went to bed after he made sure that he didn't have nay homework.
"I'll call you... White Lily. G'night White Lily." Zero said to the pup that was already asleep on a soft pillow right next to him.
How was it~ Yeah White Lily is a wolf instead of a horse. I said it would be AU and I needed White Lily to be a wolf instead of a horse. You'll see later~ Please review! xD Love you all dearies~
