They had decided that they would leave early the next day. Kaname was still annoyed that the Hunter Association thought that it could order Zero around, but he couldn't do anything. Add that to the fact that their would be a visitor from the Vampire Council coming any day now, and well… you have an agitated pureblood on your hands. Most of the Night Class students not part of Kaname's inner circle were now avoiding being around the agitated pureblood.

Currently they were in a car, outside of a ruined warehouse. It was no surprise that Zero was sinking into her seat right now. The look on Kaname's face was scaring her. "Um… you didn't have to accompany me Kaname." Zero quietly said knowing the pureblood could hear her. Kaname turned his glare to the silverette, causing Zero to sink even lower into her seat.

"I still don't know what the Hunter Association is doing, sending you on this by yourself." The brunette stated. "They were going to send you into a nest of Level Es!" Kaname growled, slamming his hand against the window of the car and cracking it. The anger that was coursing through his veins was almost unmanageable. He wanted to tear apart the President of the Hunter Association for putting the silverette in harms way. No, on second thought he would torture the president. A sadistic chuckle rose from Kaname's throat as he imagined the scenario. Zero shiver, before deciding that now would be a good time as any to get the job done. The sun was already starting to set and honestly Zero had a bad feeling about all of this. Looking over at Kaname, she waited for him to stop with his fantasy. Finally Kaname nodded and they got out of the car. Zero gripped Bloody Rose that was in her hand. The air smelt like blood and if she hadn't recently drank from Kaname, she would have probably lost her sanity.

Behind her, Kaname's eyes were glowing. He had figured out what the Hunter Association's goals were for sending Zero to this. 'They wanted to find out if she had fallen to far.' He thought. To bad for them, Zero had drank from Kaname. His blood would prevent her from falling to Level E, until they were able to get the blood of the one who turned her into a vampire. Silently Kaname watched Zero, she was paying attention to her surroundings. Eyes going from one way to another. Kaname could feel how tense she was. That was what Zero didn't know, the first person she drank from she would become bound to slightly. Kaname could complete it by drinking from her as well, but that would shatter Zero's trust. She would never let a vampire feed from her, even her savior.

Suddenly they heard somebody cackling insanely. Kaname watched as Zero gripped Bloody Rose tighter and raised it a bit higher. "They're taunting us." Kaname told her.

"Yeah, no duh Kaname." Zero growled in agitation. "I already know that." Her voice was strained and Kaname knew why. She wasn't all that invincible. She could have a mental breakdown, because Level Ds and Level Es reminded her too much of that blood filled night when her parents died. If it wasn't for Kaname, she would have hated all Purebloods and yet there was still a chance that she could if she ever learned the truth that it was all Kaname's fault.

Just as Kaname was about to respond, something launched out of the shadows. Zero quickly dodged, only to have her cheek cut. The pureblood narrowed his eyes at the mark, rage growing higher inside of him. The smell of Zero's blood hung in the air.

Before what attacked Zero had time to move, it immediately became dust. Zero turned only to see Kaname's face had an uncustomary look of fury on it. The Purebloods fangs were showing and rage was written clearly on his handsome face making him look like some kind of monster.

Suddenly more Level Es came out of the shadows and darkness of the warehouse and started attacking them. Zero dodged, aiming Bloody Rose and pulling the trigger. The Level E that had attacked her turned to dust in an instant. She turned around, firing several more shots that connected turning her targets into dust.

Kaname meanwhile was dealing with his own Level Es with ease. One lunged at him, and he shot his hand forward, impaling the Level E. It wasn't long before the Hunter and Pureblood were standing in a sea of ashes. Zero looked around, finding that there were no more Level Es around. Sighing she puts Bloody Rose away. Her lilac colored eyes turn to stare at Kaname whose eyes were back to the reddish-brown that they normally were.

Sweat dripped down from Zero's face to the floor. She was trying to catch her breath as well. That had been more Level Es then she had thought the nest would have. It was her first hunting mission too. Her legs felt like pudding and she was afraid if she took a step she would collapse. Just as she was thinking this, she felt arms wrap around her before she was hoisted up like a bride. She looked to find that Kaname was carrying her. "Put me down Kuran!" She hissed in embarrassment. The only time she ever said Kuran was when she was embarrassed, jealous, or angry. Kaname didn't listen to her, instead putting her into the passenger side of the car. Kaname shut the door, before getting into the drivers seat.

It always came as a surprise to others that Kaname knew how to drive. He was normally driving around. But this was too important and Zero would have been comfortable with another vampire around. As the car drove off to Cross Academy, Zero felt her eyes slowly beginning to shut. Her head landed on Kaname's shoulder causing the Pureblood to glance at her. "Tired Zero?" He questioned softly. Zero only gave a slight nod, before her breathing evened out. Kaname smiled, before returning his eyes back to the road. The ride to Cross Academy was silent and peaceful.

Zero was finally starting to settle into her life a new Night Class Student. They still hadn't gotten a room that connected with Kaname's but Zero figured she could wait. After all it had been a while since she had slept next to Kaname. Though Kaname was really sleeping on the couch and not on the actual bed with her.

The night was going much like ever other night. Outside the full moon hung low, illuminating the land. Zero was currently sitting on the couch, body sprawled across it. A thick book was in her hands and her shirt was riding up, revealing some of her stomach. Kaname was currently working on something at the desk. He herd a knock at the door causing him to pause in his work before answering. "Come in." The Pureblood said.

The door opened and Kaname looked up from the reports he was reading. Takuma was standing there, frantic look on his face. "It's terrible Kaname-sama!" The blond said hysterically. Kaname sighed, rolling his eyes.

"What is it Takuma?" He questioned. The silverette wasn't paying any attention to them. Takuma took a second to gather himself before answering.

"My grandfather, Asato, Ichijo, is coming tomorrow evening." Kaname stared at him with a calm expression; causing Takuma to be slightly taken aback.

"I've already known he was coming. If that is all Takuma you can leave the room." Takuma blinked before nodding.

"Of course, excuse me Kaname-sama." He said. Kaname nodded watching as the blond left the room. He then turned to stare at the silverette sitting on the couch.

"It's about time you take some of my blood again Zero." Kaname tells her. The silverette lokoed up form her book, glare on her face. Kaname had been waiting for Zero to come to him, but he knew that was impossible. Zero didn't want to be associated with vampires and would rather she become a danger to those around her. Kaname wouldn't allow it. Zero was too precious, and if he had to manipulate her to get what he wants then that would be fine.

"No, I haven't felt thirsty recently.' The silverette tells him. She goes back to reading the book, but Kaname clears his throat. When Zero still doesn't look up from the book, he gets up walking over to the sofa. Grabbing the book out of Zero's hand, he places it on the coffee table. Lilac eyes glare up at him.

"I'm not going to take no as an answer. you're either going to feed from me by yourself or I'm going to force feed you." Kaname warned. Zero kept glaring for a few seconds before giving in.

"Fine!" She growled. Kaname smirked, before being harshly pulled down so he was slightly above the silverette. The next thing he knows is the silverette burying her fangs into his neck causing him to sigh. It didn't hurt; the problem was that Zero had trouble not feed from the silverette in return. After a few minutes Zero pulls away, blood around her mouth.

"Go take a shower." Kaname told her. Zero gets up, shooting him a glare before stomping to the bathroom and slamming the door. Kaname sighed, knowing that getting Zero to feed would be one of the worst times dealing with her. At least he wouldn't have to worry much about it. Suddenly Kaname heard something like glass breaking in the bathroom. Worried he rushed in not concerned about anything but Zero's safety. He found her standing in front of the mirror, looking at it in mute shock. "Zero are you okay?" He questioned. The silverette didn't say anything for a few minutes, trying to gather herself.

"Yeah, I'm sorry about the mirror. I'll pay for it when I get the chance." She told Kaname in a quiet voice. She was worried Kaname was upset with her. Somehow the mirror had broken when Zero looked at it. She had no idea how that happened.

Before Kaname had a chance to comment, he suddenly noticed the silverette's state of undress. Luckily Zero was facing away from Kaname, but Kaname could still see the silverette's backside. His eyes trailed down, following the lines of her body. As if hit by lightning Zero suddenly remembered that she had no clothes on. Her face went red insistently. She grabbed a toothbrush, trowing it at Kaname. It hit him square in the forehead, causing Kaname to look up seeing an angry and embaressed silverette. Her body was turned, so that he couldn't see the front part of her lower body, and her arms covered her breasts. "Get Out!" Zero hissed at him.

Kaname quickly retreated before she decided to just shoot him with the Bloody Rose. Immediately the door slammed shut, causing Kaname to wince. He shakes his head, going back to his desk to work on his reports.

…

…

…

It was finally time for Asato to be visiting. Many of the Night Class students were waiting in the mian lobby. Zero didn't pay any attention to what they were saying. The only thing she did do was watch Asato from the shadows. She didn't want the vampires attention on him. Seiren was nearby keeping guard over Zero. The silverette was mostly calm, until she saw Asato take Kaname's hand. She felt a sharp anger that she hadn't felt in a while. Immediately bringing Bloody Rose out, she points it at the elder vampire's temple. Ruka and Aido were also nearby, powers activated. "Hands off. Now." She threatens, slightly squeezing the trigger. Asato does so, and Zero lowers her weapon.

Eyeing the silver haired girl, he turns his attention back to Kaname. A sneer came across his aged face. "I wasn't aware that you kept pets Kaname." He said, angering both the Pureblood and Hunter.

"I'm sure you remember the Kiryu massacare Asato." Kaname said, causing the silverette to tense. "This is Zero Kiryu. She is the newest member of the Night Class." He informed the older vampire. Asato looks to eye Zero more, before the sneer comes on his face. He reaches out, placing his hand underneath Zero's head and lifting it.

"She is still a lowly Ex-Human, though I see you have good tastes at least Kaname. But I will not allow her to sully your Pureblood line." Suddenly his sense go haywire and he turns to find that Kaname's eyes were glowing a dangerous crimson red. He lets the silver haired girl go, before turning his attention back to the Pureblood.

"I suggest that you leave before you outstay your welcome." Kaname warned. Asato sighed.

"I'll leave for now. But be warned Kaname, that the rest of the Vampire Council will hear about your pet." Asato said. He walked out of the Moon Dorm, and everybody was still tense.

"Return back to your room." Kaname ordered.

"Yes, Kaname-sama." The Night Class students said. They began shuffling around, walking back to their rooms. Kaname then eyed Zero who was still holding Bloody Rose.

"As for you Zero, I don't want you to do that again." He warned her. She glares at him, before deciding to speak up.

"Maybe next time I'll let those two handle it. But that leech pissed me off." She growled. In the back of his mind Kaname was smiling in amusement, but he knew how serious the situation was.

"I don't care if he, as you so eloquently put it, "pissed you off", you've got the attention of the rest of the Vampire Senate. I want you to be careful Zero." Kaname gently told her.

"I will Kaname." She told the Pureblood.

…

…

…

In the car that had Asato, the older vampire looked out the window watching the passing scenery. "Interesting. I wonder how events are going to play out Kaname. What will your next move be." Asato began chuckling as he remembered the anger that the silverette's eyes held.

…

…

…

Zero the next night wasn't paying much attention to anything. Something was bothering her. Also she was still embarrassed that Kaname had seen her naked. 'It feels like something is going to happen soon.' She thinks to herself.

Meanwhile, Kaname was planning his next move. When they had gotten back to the dorm after class had gotten over, Kaname had stared at the chess board. The arrangement was of the knight beside the king and the queen was also beside the king. Looking at the cheese board, Kaname moved the bishop to stand in front of the king.

He needed a new knight, somebody that would be willing to protect Zero, and he knew just who would be perfect for the job. After all, there was one person who loved Zero like a daughter, someone that was in the Hunter Association. Kaname had thought about using Kaien Cross, but even though that man might seem like a fool he wasn't easily manipulated. He also knew Kaname too well.

Kaname wasn't planning on using the new knight like he had originally planned to use Zero. No, the man was too precious to Zero and Kaname didn't want the silverette to hate him. Instead, he would manipulate the man by using the fact that he cared for Zero like a daughter.

'After all, you'll protect the last thing that will reminded you of your friends. And because she was a student of yours. You'll protect her, you'll be the knight, Toga Yagari."
