Chapter 10: Lies and Acting

Story begin~

(With Kaname – YXZ Corporation building)

Kaname Kuran walked in leisure as he entered the said building. As soon as he was inside, a gust of wind flew into the room and the door was completely sealed with a click sound followed by a seal that was casted on the door. The once glass door was now turned to stone and there were thousands of chains covering it, restricting it to the ground. In the distance he could hear Aidou banging on the door and yelling something, but right now he could have had been more careless for the blonde. There was only one thing in his mind, and it was the silver prefect.

Suddenly, he could feel that someone is watching him, but seeing no one was near where he stood, he simply brushed the feeling off.

The building he was currently in was about ten stories tall, and it was made completely of glass, but that was before the door closed on its own. Now it was like a prison with no windows, and there was only a circular stairs that leads to the top of the building.

Seeing that there's nothing wrong, Kaname turned to face the long and old staircase. He walked to the foot of the stairs and set his foot on the first staircase. When his feet touched it, he could hear a scream at the top of the building, as fast as he could he picked up his pace and speeded up. He was about to go faster, but a seeing the three doors before him, he put his steps into hold and stopped just before he crashed into the silver door front of him. He let out a long sigh before he put his hand on his pocket where he kept the ring, just to make sure he didn't lose it with his inhuman speed. He faced the doors before him and examined the door closely. He didn't want to choose the wrong answer now of all times, since he was sure that the scream belonged to Zero.

The door on the right is surprisingly made out of gold, and it had a key stuck in it. The door on the left is made out of stone, and it also had a key stuck in it. Finally, the door on the middle, it was made out of silver, but it didn't have a key stuck in it. By instinct, Kaname grabbed the key in his pocket and examined it closely again. Just as he had suspected, the once normal iron key, now turned into a silver one. Cautiously, he stepped closer and closer to the silver door, suddenly, he heard a scream again. Without a second thought he pushed they key into the key hole and entered the silver room.

He walked in somewhat a leisure pace, he knew what he would face, and he would be ready for whatever power his enemies had. He would face them and retrieve Zero. Upon walking for a several minute, he came upon a gigantic white door. Using his right hand he pushed it open.

"Welcome, Kaname-sama" said blonde haired male. His tone was polite, yet it carried a somewhat mocking tone in it. He was sitting on a big chair behind a large desk. Beside him, stood a jet black haired man with a laptop on his hands.

"Give him back to me" Kaname said seriously, his voice was filled with the sense of authority.

The blonde shook his head slowly. A smirk appeared on his face. "Sorry, Kaname-sama, we can't do that. See…, you have failed the test, so we won't give him back to you" there was a short silent moment before he finished what he wanted to say. "And besides, I think he won't want to go back to you anymore." Yuu couldn't stop himself from grinning "If you want to know why, then it's simple. He's now belonged to us." He stated as a-matter-of-factly

The raven beside him coughed and the blonde straightened his face too. They are so going to have a lot of fun tonight. "For the reason of why you are here tonight is only to inform you of this knowledge." The raven started. He smiled brightly before his smile turned into a playful smirk. "Really, Kaname-sama, you really have a bad taste, to throw away such a pretty thing, if I had known about his existence I would have come earlier. You should have been here sooner, if you could have managed that, we might let you enjoy him too." He ended cheerfully.

Kaname was trembling. All he wanted to do now was to beat the shit out of the two men in front of him. What are they talking about? How dare they even lay a finger on HIS Zero? He took a deep breath and calmed himself. There will be no point in coming here at all I he lashed out here. He would play his role and rescue Zero. He wasn't going to let the chairman down. "I see" he started a bit shakily, but he soon found his voice back. "Then can you at least let me see him, I think it would be best if I know that he is in perfect condition for the benefit for the two of us." he smiled a businessman's smile.

Yuu's face brightened at his words "My, why of course, than that means after you had seen that he was alive and well, you'll acknowledge us as his masters from now on. Is that alright Kaname-sama?"

"I'll decide after I see him" he replied sternly.

"Okay then, Ziell…" Yuu said facing Ziell with a knowing look.

Ziell nodded understandingly. He raised his shoulder a he sighed dejectedly "A real shame indeed." He muttered audibly. He placed the laptop he was carrying and placed it on the desk in front of Kaname.

At first all Kaname could see was just blank, black screen, and then suddenly there was a video being played. Without a warning or some sorts, Zero appeared on the screen. Kaname's eyes widen in surprise. It was Zero, HIS Zero. Kaname gritted his teeth, how dare they do such a thing to Zero. Then, something inside him snapped as he saw the video fully and he finally realized that Zero was naked with the exception of his shirt.

His eyes turned crimson red and he lunged towards Ziell and pinned him to the wall by his neck. He turned to face Yuu. "it seemed that I will not approve after all. Please give him back to me or I'll separate his head from his body"

Scared and being unable to move, Ziell looked at Yuu in the eye and nodded.

Yuu rose from his chair "I agree Kaname-sama. Please let him go. I'll give him back to you." he said hurriedly.

"I want to see you are here with Zero in an hour or I'll really kill him." Kaname tightened his grip on ZIell's neck to clarify his intention. Ziell moaned in distress. Kaname was really hurting him.

"As you wish Kaname-sama." Yuu said and bowed at the angry vampire prince before him. In a matter of seconds he was gone, leaving no trace for Kaname to follow.

"D-do you really think that Zero will go back to you?" Ziell managed to say even though his throat was hurting.

Kaname turned his face and looked at the other's eye. There he saw no fear, just understanding and pity. "Yes" he said unsurely. Wanting to listen more from the raven, he loosen his grip on his neck. "Do you have something you want to say to me?"

Feeling a bit relieved that Kaname loosen his grip a little nodded slightly. "Actually, yes Kaname-sama"

"Say what you want then"

"I'll say what I want to say as long as you promise not to kill me"

Kaname grunted before he gave a slight nod. Who knows maybe he had something to tell him about Zero.

Ziell sighed in relief. "Okay then, first off, even if you save him, he'll die soon. If you are wondering why, then I can't answer you just yet." He smirked. "Second, why wouldn't you want him anyway? He is gorgeous for God's sake. You must be blind to not be able to see at least that much. Then the third one, you are a STUPID STUCK UP PRINCE" He ended what he wanted to say by sticking out his tongue like a child.

Kaname raised an eyebrow at how brave the boy was. No one had dared to insult him like that. Except…Zero… Right then the memory of their first meeting was replied on his mind. Then he remembered how the prefect would always send him death glares when he was nearby. It's true that he didn't like those glares, but not seeing the prefect for a while, he came to realize that he might have missed that pissed look on Zero. He liked the fire in his eyes and also the sorrow in them, and he absolutely can't forget the how the prefect looked on the night where Zero finally drank from him. That time, he had managed to force Zero to drink from him, even though he had to use Yuki as an excuse. Yuki… Oh God… Yuki… What am I even doing here? He asked himself. Why did he leave the academy solely to rescue Zero? He could have sent someone to rescue him, yet he offered himself to go.

"Why are you suddenly quiet? Were you really that shocked to the point where you're at lost for words because of what I said? Or are you realizing that coming here is a mistake?" Ziell taunted him.

Kaname tightened his grip on the raven. "Speak anymore and I'll kill you" Kaname threatened. His eyes were glowing bright red. How could I have been that thoughtless about Yuki? She is supposed to be the only one I cared for. Yet, Zero… in his frustration, he tightened his grip on ZIell's neck every time, Zero invaded his mind.

"Oh, so that's how it is. The all and mighty Kaname-sama couldn't even keep his promise" Ziell laughed bitterly. His throat hurt so much, he hope Yuu would come back soon. He might not be able to cover for him for much longer.

Immediately, Kaname lessen the grip on his hand. He clenched his teeth. Damn, thinking about the slverette always brought out the worst of him, and he didn't like it at all. He is supposed to be a role model for all the vampires, yet how can he not be that role model when the thought of Zero invaded his mind. 'God… even if you aren't here, you still managed to affect me.' He frowned visibly.

Seeing the frown on the vampire prince's face, Ziell laughed inwardly. 'So, he's starting to realize how much Zero affected him. This could work out just fine, then' "Hey Kaname-sama. Won't you let go of me now?" the raven looked bored. But in the inside he was laughing like a mad man.

"And why would I do that? You'll escape the moment o release my hold on you" Kaname said simply.

"No I won't, I promise. And tell you what, I'll even let you do Zero once if you let me go now. I'm sure that you wouldn't regret doing it with him. Cuz I sure didn't. He was great! His skin and hair was so smooth it's as If I was touching something made out of silk, not to-"

"SHUT UP" Kaname shouted, making Ziell stopped in the middle of his sentence. Kaname could barely keep his mind in check. He didn't even realize that the raven in front of him was smiling smugly. Hearing how the man in front of him had touched HIS Zero made his heart throb pain fully. If only he went straight here, if only he didn't waste any time back in Japan. He scolded himself. He could have been more efficient… but no, he thought that nothing would happen to the poor boy and decided to take some rest. He was the one that had caused the misery befalling Zero. "No…" He said softly. "I'll take him back and make sure you pay for defiling him!" he said menacingly. He meant those words and he is now surer than ever that he would definitely take him back. Right then, all his previous thoughts about Yuki was gone by far from his mind.

(With Zero - Dungeon)

Despite being chained to the wall with nothing on except for his torn shirt, Zero was rather calm. He might not know why those people were doing all this, but he somehow felt like he know them, and that knowledge alone had managed to make himself feel relaxed in a way he never felt before. Suddenly, in the middle of watching Kaname running like a concerned vampire from the screen, a knock was heard.

Before he could utter a single word, the door opened, revealing a silver haired man.

"What are you doing here, Raito?" Zero asked warily.

"Don't worry, I'm just here to talk to you, that's all" he said softly, his voice was soothing. "Do you want to know why did I kidnap you, and about those two, Yuu and Ziell?" he asked as he moved closer to him while he dragged a chair.

Somehow the door closed on its own with a click sound that made Zero flinch a little.

Zero only managed to nod weakly. He really wanted to know why, but he's not really sure that Raito was going to tell him without any payment. "What's the catch?" he spoke up his mind unconsciously.

Raito smiled. "There's no catch." He dragged his chair near where Zero was being chained and sat on it. "So do you want to listen to the whole truth behind all this?"

Zero sent him a glare "Just say what you want to say" he answered impatiently.

"Okay, then first you must tell me what you know about the two of them first"

"You mean Yuu and Ziell?"

"Yes"

Zero was reluctant to tell Raito any information he know, but at this point he was in no position to demand anything. "Al I know is that they were thinking I was somekind of present or something, but something was bothering me about those two"

"And what might that be"

"They said that I shared a destiny Kaname, whatever that meant"

"Oh, so you've known that much… What were they thinking" Raito sighed dejectedly.

"You said you are going to tell me something, so start talking!" Zero spat annoyed.

Raito sighed again "Young people these days are so inpatient"

"So what, start talking old man"

"Fine, let's start by explaining why I kidnapped you. There's only one reason and that is because I obtained a request from your foster father"

"Kaien?"

"Yes"

"What did he have to do with all this?"

"Everything. You see, I wouldn't have come if there's no request from someone"

"But why would Kaien do that, he's not someone who would just-"

"That's where you are wrong. He is full of secrets, behind that smiling mask he always put on." Raito closed his eyes for a while, he was thinking to just lie to the boy, but he finally decided that lying right now wouldn't make anything better. At the time he opened he opened his eyes, his mind was made up, he would tell Zero the truth." Let's continue, and please don't interrupt me please."

Zero scoffed "Fine" he muttered silently. His mind was in a wreck right now, he was finally getting used to having Kaname invading his mind from time to time, but after obtaining the new information about Kaien, he didn't know what to think anymore. How could the chairman do that to him? Didn't he always say that he was like a son to him?

"Let's continue, the request that he wanted from me was not an easy one, he asked me to-"

'BANG' the door swung open, revealing a really pissed Yuu.

"What are you doing here Yuu? Weren't you supposed to be with Kaname?" Raito asked questioningly. he was getting pissed as well, being disturbed so many times.

"Change of plan, we are going to go with Ziell's plan" Yuu smirked evilly.

"And what is that?" Raito asked again, curiosity was obious in his voice.

"'Eraser accompanied by little angel in disguise' I can't wait to see Kaname's face when we pulled it off" he giggled.

"What are planning to do to Kaname?" Zero shouted as he heard Kaname's name.

"I'm not going to do anything to him…" He moved closer to Zero and leaned near his face "But I'm going to do something….to you."
