Chapter 2: Cross's secret

*Story start

"Chairman?" Kaname slowly made his way toward the unconscious figure beside the desk.

Slowly the unconscious figure started to stir and hesitantly opened his eyes. As soon as he could see clearly, Cross looked around his office and notice that Kaname is now standing behind him with a troubled look. "Kaname-kun, how long was I out." then it hit him "Wait where is Zero?"

Kaname sighed and took a seat on a chair near Cross. "That's what I want to know as well chairman. Firstly, can you tell me what just happened?"

"Well, I was talking about an important issue with Raito when I notice Zero standing in front of my office"

Before Cross finished his sentence, Kaname raise his right hand as a sign for Kaien to stop "Who is this Raito you speak of? Can you describe him?"

" I was about to get to that point. Raito, well you can say that he's an acquaintance of mine. I met him around one hundred and fifty years ago when I was on a mission in England. That time I was injured badly and Raito was the one who save me. After I recovered, I tried searching for him, and fortunately I did find him, but when I found him he was in a dreadful state. His body was full of scars and bruises and he was covered in blood. At that time I thought he was already dead, but i was mistaken. He is still very much alive."

"How is that possible, isn't he a human being?" Somehow Kaname couldn't help but feel that he wasn't human at all.

Kaien's face changed drastically as soon as heard those words coming from the pureblood's mouth. He gulped and took a deep breath. "He was Kaname, when I found him all beaten up he at first he was still human. That is until he made a pact with a demon from the underworld and turned into a doll that he is now. It seemed that in his dying moment he managed to make a contract with a demon and he had pledged his body and soul to whatever demon he had made a contract with. Then, when I saw just now it seemed that he and the monster had merged together, that's why you can feel that he was a human yet something else that's entirely different. For his appearance, when I met him back then he had a long black hair and piercing red eyes, now he had long white hair with yellow and green eyes." He said dejectedly.

"So he is Raito" Kaname mumbled to himself, but Cross heard him quite clearly.

"Do you know him, Kaname?" he asked quickly as soon as he heard Raito's name coming out from the vampire's mouth.

"I just met him chairman, and he took Zero with him. As off where he took him I had no idea."

Kaien began to tremble "Just as I feared, he is going to give Zero to someone as a present." Cross stood up and walked until he reached his seat and took a seat.

Kaname eyed the ex-hunter carefully "Chairman, when he was about to vanish he said that he said that he won't bother you anymore. Care to explain what does that mean?"

Cross sighed and nodded slowly "I guess I can tell you Kaname. Around one hundred and fifty years ago I was a different person from what I am now. Back then, I was a really happy-go-lucky kind of hunter and I was considered as a weakling by the other hunters. But after I met Raito it all started to change. Sometimes after the demon had posses him he offered me something that I truly want. Power. I was so naïve back then and quickly agreed without any doubts. And since I agreed, he gave me these glasses. When I used it, I could feel myself change drastically. I can feel the power from the glasses flowing right through my vain. I was so young back then and so foolish. Now I felt ashamed that I had agreed to the demon." slowly a drop of tear roll down from his eyes "I couldn't believe I lost Zero because of what I did back then" he covered his head with both of his hands "I don't have the rights to be Zero's father"

Kaname had enough. He don't like to see Cross who is usually so happy and bubbly so sad. It's just not right. He stood up and walked so that now he was in front of Cross's desk. He slammed the desk hard, making it crack "I don't need you pitying yourself Cross. I need the man that you are now so we can rescue Zero from whatever he had to face and from whoever he planned to give Zero to."

Kaien gave him a sad smile and nodded in agreement 'I will find you Zero, just you wait' with new determination Cross rose from his seat and started to make a few important calls.

~Meanwhile, with Raito~

Raito stood in front of a huge mansion surrounded by woods. Really, he didn't know why his friends like to stay in such big houses and to be surrounded by the woods, not to mention the secluded area. It was so quiet there unlike his house that is always busy with noises. He dropped a big crate in front of the house and placed a letter on it. He knocked on the door and without waiting for the receiver to open the door he left.

"I hope they enjoy their present" he smirked evilly.

~Back to Cross~

After making several important calls Kaien concluded that it was enough and decided to make some tea for himself and Kaname. Earlier, Kaname had returned to his room to retrieve a laptop and now he is currently searching for any clue to hopefully find Zero.

Suddenly Kaname stopped dead on his track. Cross stopped from whatever he was doing and headed towards the pureblood prince. "What's wrong Kaname? Did you find something?"

Kaname shook his head "Not quite, I thought I saw the fruit but it seems that I was mistaken"

"What fruit?"

"I do not know, he was holding it when he carried Zero. The skin was black, but the meat was pure white. And I noticed that there was something colorful inside it, if my speculation is correct it may be its fruit or seed"

"Hmm….. Fruit… black fruit….. Fruit…." Then the memory hit Cross "The Black Paradise"

Kaname repeated that words in his mind and found it seemingly familiar in his tongue. "Where have I heard of that name?"

"It's the fruit that was in your garden when you were just a little kid Kaname. Your mother had once invited me and gave it to me. It was truly a delicious fruit"

"Cross do you know where are these fruits being produced? If you know we may still have a chance in finding Zero"

Cross finally smiled genuinely for the first time that day. His eyes were filled with hope. "I'm so glad you are with me Kaname~" unable to control his happiness he jumped to hug Kaname. 'I still have a chance in finding Zero'

But like Zero, Kaname denied his hug and he kissed the hard wood once again.

Slowly standing up while rubbing his sore head he faced Kaname "Thank you" he said happily.

Kaname, taken back by what he saw, smiled in return 'I'm going to get Zero back. You can bet on it Cross'

"Seiren"

Out of nowhere Seiren appeared in the room and kneeled down near Kaname. "Yes Kaname-sama?"

"Gather Kain, Aidou, Ruka, Shiki, Rima, and Takuma here quickly. Tell them it's an urgent matter"

"Yes Kaname-sama" she bowed and vanished.

~Somewhere in Germany~

A silver headed man yawned lazily as he rubbed his tired eyes "Hey I think someone just knocked on our door"

"Hmm?" a blonde haired boy popped out from the bed and began to sniff the area. Almost immediately his nose picked up a sweet smell of lavender, vanilla and mint. Unconsciously he licked his lips "Yes, there's someone tasty on the door"

The silver haired teen grinned "Nice."
