Chapter 14: Unexpected occurrences
Story begin~
(With Kaname, Zero. Kain, and Aidou - Cross academy - 2 PM)
It was late autumn, and the weather was beginning to grow colder and colder with each passing day.
The academy looked really old as there weren't any students roaming the school grounds. Since it was still learning time for the students of the day class, the school ground was left bare. Suddenly, in the midst of silence, a squeaky sound of a tire stopping could be heard from the entrance of Cross Academy.
A jet black limo stopped exactly in front of the school gate of Cross Academy. Hurriedly, the driver who is still inside got out and stood silently at the gate of school entrance. He was waiting for his leader to get out readily. However, since Aidou was there, the driver's assistance wasn't needed. A few seconds after the car was put to a halt, a blonde came out of it and opened the car door to let a brunette get out of the car.
The brunette, bearing the name Kuran Kaname stood tall as he got out of the car. In his hands, he was carrying a silver headed prefect who is known as Zero Kiryuu. It might not be a big deal to anyone, but to anyone in Cross Academy, it was going to be a huge scandal if they were seen. Why? It was simple it's because, the infamous Zero Kiryuu, the school bad guy, the scary prefect, he was being carried bridal style by the famous leader of the Night Class. Anyone who'd saw the two would most likely die from blood loss or from too much shock.
Even under the bright shining sun, the vampire prince walked elegantly as Aidou and Kain followed behind him closely.
It had been a tiring trip for them, especially Kaname. He wasn't used to have the feeling of uncertainty and doubt in his heart. Furthermore, the fact that it was all because of Zero who caused his doubt and uncertainty, made him more hesitant about anything. Never in his life had he felt like a hopeless teenager. But maybe it's okay to act like a child sometimes. However that didn't apply to the pureblood or any pureblood. Pureblood are strong, they are the real adult, the one with power and decision. They cannot be a child, only an adult with a lot of responsibility. Kaname sighed mentally, if only he could have at least one day free. Free from his duties and title of being the pureblood prince and free from being a Kuran.
They walked in leisure as their destination was clear, it was the moon dorm. Any normal human won't be able to see what they are seeing, but they weren't human. They are vampires. They could see clearly what in front of the moon dorm, as well as smell and feel. In front of the gate to the moon dorm, all of Kaname's inner circle, plus Kaien and a blue haired kid stood in front of the door to the dormitory.
As Kaname walked to the dorm, he eyed the dark blue haired boy cautiously. He smelt different from any normal human, but he can't remember where he had smelt the smell. Despite his uneasiness, the brunette, brushed the feeling and continued his way to the moon dorm. There won't be anyone stupid enough to attack him or the vampires in the academy, even if there was an attack, it will be handled swiftly and efficiently. He had and will make sure of that.
About halfway to the moon dormitory, Kain, who was talking to Aidou about school matter and about the blonde's love life, felt something odd is going to happen. And he was right, a few seconds after he got that strange feeling, he felt something grazing his arms, making it bleed. The wound wasn't too deep, but some blood still managed to leak out.
Kain tried to look around him, but only to find no aura left by anyone who had hurt him. Suddenly out of the blue, Kain felt something wet on his arms. As fast as he could, he turned his head to face his arms, only to be stunned by what he was feeling and seeing. At first he didn't believe what he saw, but after a few moments of hesitation and mind conflict, he came to a conclusion. Zero was licking his wounded arm. Damn, he couldn't picture anything beside the prefect on his knees before him. Zero was sexy in all way imaginable. He was kneeling, face flushed, licking his wound with his soft tongue and his eyes, it was glazed, with some twinge of red.
Everyone seeing the sight of Zero and Kain was shocked, or at least they make a perfect face of being shocked, but there was person who didn't feel at least shocked. It was Kaname. He didn't feel shocked or anything else. All he wanted to do right then was to kill Kain on the spot without mercy.
Somehow, he managed to clear his head before he acted. Unhurriedly, Kaname pulled Zero to face him and use his pureblood power to put Zero to sleep. The silverette fall gracefully on the prince's hands.
"Chairman, I think it would be best if I took care of Zero for a while. He seems to be in a weird state."
Dumbly, Kaien nodded eagerly.
With the principal's nod, Kaname used his power again, and in a matter of seconds, he was gone.
Unable to contain his amusement for much longer, Shion laughed to his heart's content as soon as the pureblood was out of earshot. "God, did you see his face!" he said between his laughter "He looked like he wanted to kill someone just now. It was hilarious!" he continued laughing.
Everyone still in front of the moon dorm followed laughing, but unlike Shion, they tried to contain their laughter. Well, all except Kain whose face was as pale as a sheet.
"What's going on here?!" Kain asked unsure and worried.
"This is a play." Takuma started, gesturing to the window to their leader's window.
"Yeah, we are pairing those two up!" Aidou continued excitedly.
Ruka nodded from the side, looking somewhat excited and hopefull.
"It will be fun too" added Shion grinning.
"But don't take things too far you guys, it might backfire on us." Kaien warned, pointing his finger to Shion, since he was the master behind everything.
Shion shrugged "No need to be so uptight Kaien, we might as well enjoy this. By the way, your act when and after Zero was really great! I'm quite amazed." He complemented. He wasn't keen on complementing anyone, but it will have to do for stopping Kaien's rambling.
Kaien Cross, being Kaien, as soon as he heard the words coming out of Shion's mouth,flower popped out from nowhere and he smiled brightly to Shion. He attempted to hug the blue haired devil, but it was so obvious that Shion managed to dodge before the chairman could touch him. Thus Kaien Cross once again hugged the cold hard ground.
Shiki and Rima laughed at the sight of Shion and the chairman.
Takuma, noticing Shiki's change of expression, grinned happily. Maybe having Shion wasn't a bad idea after all.
(The day before – Near midnight – with the night class students, mainly Kaname's inner circle, Shion, Kaien)
Takuma knocked on the door to the chairman's office. The rest of Kaname's inner circle was behind him.
After hearing a muffed sound of 'Come in~', Takuma opened the door and let himself in, followed by Shiki, Rima, Ruka, and Seiren.
The vampires stood in front of Cross's desk. "Is there something wrong, chairman? You called for us." Takuma started.
Kaien hummed. "Well…" he looked over to the boy beside him. "I wanted to introduce all of you to him. He's Kurikoe Shion. He will be in the same class as Zero starting from tomorrow. Please be nice to him. He will be the key to our success."
Takuma eyed the blue haired boy carefully. "But he's just a boy." He said out loud before facing the chairman dead serious. "Are you sure about this? He could get hurt. You know what Kaname-sama's possessiveness is like don't you? He could even die." He insisted.
The blue haired boy chuckled and looked at Takuma. "Don't judge a book by it's over." He smiled. "It's a really simple metaphor, but people now days seemed to have forgotten about it. Such a pity, and it was a good advice too. Especially to the likes of you who can life for quite a long time." He moved closer towards Shiki. "You smelt a bit like that man." He murmured audibly.
Shiki stared at the boy in confusion. "What?" he said aloud. The kid in front of him may looked like a child, but he can feel it, the boy's presence and attitude screamed 'adult' to him.
Realising the streak of fear oozing out from Shiki, Shion quickly faked an innocent smile. "Kaname Kuran. You smell a bit like him." he looked as if he was struggling for a bit before adding "But the taste of your soul is entirely different." He ended his words with a satisfied smirk on his face. He didn't want to scare the brunette, but he was fun to play for a while.
Shiki, on the other hand shuddered. He felt like he was being watched by a really sick person, but not just a sick person, a sick person who could actually do some damage to him.
Noticing the change in Shiki, Rima held out her hands as if she was protecting him "Back away, kid. I don't want to hurt you since you are an acquaintance of the chairman." She growled. In the back of his head, something just screamed 'danger' from the boy in front of her, but she wouldn't have it any other way. She is going to protect Shiki.
Shion backed away a little. "You guys are no fun." He faked a pout. "Kaien could you replace them of something?" he said as he prepared to jump out from the chairman's office, of course via the window.
"Nope~, sorry~." Was the chairman's answer. It was fun watching Shion glare at him. He was being a little cute and less adult-like.
Having enough of the chairman's idiocy, Shion sighed as he was about to jumped off from the window of Cross's office, obviously ignoring everyone in the room. But a shout stopped him.
"How dare you say that to us?! Just who are you anyway? We are more than enough for you and for any job in the world. How could you judge us when you don't even know us?" It was Ruka who stopped Shion.
The blue haired boy smiled again, he was definitely amused by Ruka's words. But she does have some fact supporting her words, and he was a little wrong to underestimate them. They are vampires after all. "My apologies, then I shall see how it all would turn out. But take my advice. You better prepared your shocked face for the next step."
"What do you mean?" Takuma persisted.
"We are going to have a very angry pureblood on our hands if we failed to act perfectly. Just practice, this is all for your dear pureblood and his future mate. Remember that." Once Shion had finished his want he wanted to say, he explained what's going to happen and the possibility of what could happen. Finished with everything he wanted to explain, Shion vanished, leaving no trace.
(With Kaien, Kaname's inner circle, Shion – in front of the gate to the moon dorm – present time)
"So what's the next step?" Aidou asked eagerly. He might be loyal to Kaname in every way, but he wanted his leader to happy. And his happiness was all that mattered to him.
"For the next step, you all can relax and leave it to me." Shion answered with matching eagerness. Seeing the pureblood's change of expression had surely made his day.
"What are you going to do?" Kaien asked unsure. Everything he had heard from Raito had informed him that Shion was not someone to be messed around with. And after witnessing the accuracy of his prediction, he knew he would be glad in siding with the little blue devil.
Shion smiled at Kaien. It was quite an innocent smile, or so anyone thought. The next sentence coming out of his mouth shattered the pure innocent child image he had. "I'm going to deflower Zero." He stated happily. "And I meant what I say when I said I'm the one who's going to deflower him. No way am I going to be the bottom" he ended his statement with a dazzling smile.
As expected, everyone around him who heard what he had just said paled considerably.
"Why?!" Ruka protested. As much as she hate the ex human, she couldn't help but fell pity to the slverette. He might have been cold to her and the other vampires, but he had a reason for hating them.
"It's simple, if I do that, Kaname-sama will be so furious that he would take Zero instead. Am I a genius or what?" Shion grinned childishly.
"Are you an idiot or something? Kaname-sama is going to be super furious at you. He won't just take Zero away, but he'll kill you and on the spot for it. How could you think of something so careless?" Ruka scolded Shion like a mother would to her son.
Shion pouted. He didn't like to be treated like a child. He was old enough as he was. It was just that while in this form he had to be in a child's body. "This is the best solution I have. We are short on time here. Even if my potion could add a few days until the time, it can't lessen the effect. So this is the best solution. And don't you dare underestimate me. I'm stronger than I look. If I want I could kill you all with a single flick of my fingers." He was mad. No one had insulted him for so long that he had forgotten what it felt like to be underestimated. And the burning flame in Ruka's eyes hadn't been helpful in the least.
Ruka huffed. "I wasn't underestimating you! I know you are strong!" she shouted. "And just because this is your job doesn't mean you have to risk your life for it. We can always figure another way. There had to be." She might not realized it, but she sounded worried about the little devil.
Takuma nodded at Ruka's opinion. "I think she is right. If you were to die here then it would be useless to get them together."
Shion shook his head. "You won't understand." He said softly.
"And what do you mean by that? Are you not telling us about something?" Aidou inquire out of curiosity.
Shion gave Kaien a meaningful side glance.
At the look of Shion's face, Cross understood what it meant almost immediately, but he found it hard to decide. At one point he find it necessary to tell the others about Kaname and Zero's circumstances, while on the other hands if he told them about the fact that they are going to die, he just know that he's going to break their heart if they failed. In the end he shook his head slightly. It would be most un-benefitting if they were to disturb the plan.
Comprehending the situation, Shion nodded in understanding. He looked at the vampires in front of him. "Sorry, you just can't found out right now. We'll tell you everything when those two got together." With that, he vanished again, leaving no trace.
Looking at the empty spot where Shion had stood, they immediately looked at the chairman for some sort of answer.
In just a matter of seconds, Cross could find himself being surrounded by eager vampires who sought answers.
Kaien sweat dropped at the enthusiasm of his students. If only they were these keen to the idea of co-existing with the humans. Determinedly, he shook his head. "I will not tell you guys anything. If you want to know, you will have to wait till Kaname and my son are together." He said firmly.
(With Kaname and Zero – Kaname's room)
Kaname practically tossed Zero on his bed like a rag doll in next to no time after he got into his bed using his pureblood ability. However, despite the fact that he could teleport himself, he would still leave some sort of trace behind. He can't vanish without a trace like Raito, Yuu, or Ziell does.
Thinking about Raito, Yuu and Ziell had only made him more anxious than he was before.
Quickly, in a matter of seconds, the brunette was hovering over the silverette who's still sleeping on the bed. Raising his right hand on his head, he used his power again and with that, Zero woke up startled.
As soon as the silver prefect realized that the pureblood prince's face was merely an inch away from his, he backed away frantically until his head hit the hard mahogany head board. Somehow, even though he couldn't get his mind straight, some bits of his dream resurfaced in his clouded mind and remembering about his dreams these past few days was definitely making him more nervous and wary of the pureblood then he already was.
Apprehending that the silver haired prefect in front of him was being not himself, he moved closer to him slowly.
Seeing Kaname moved closer and closer to him in a rather predatory movement, Zero shuddered and backed away to the point where half of his upper body was pressed to the head board. Really, remembering his dreams about the pureblood was not helping in the least.
Kaname raised his right hand to cup Zero's hair none too gently and pulled it to the side, revealing Zero's unmarked neck. He moved closer till his face was merely an inch away from the others. "Why did you do it?" he whispered directly on Zero's right ear.
Involuntarily, Zero shuddered at the sound. "What do you mean?" he said weakly. He tried to raise his hands to push the pure blood away, but it was useless. The pureblood wouldn't budge even an inch. "Get away you pervert?"
Kaname raised an eyebrow. "Really Zero, a pervert? Can't you select a more appropriate word?" Kaname smirked. But it soon turned into a frown. "Why did you do it Zero? Does my blood really taste that awful? Does his blood taste better than mine?" he growled.
"What are you talking about Kuran?!" Zero's eyes widen. Then realization hit him. He could taste blood in his mouth, yet the smell or the taste wasn't even near as good as Kaname's. Then does this mean that he had taken other's blood aside from Kaname. He cringed at the thought.
Seeing, the conflict in Zero's eyes, Kaname had had it. He pinned Zero's hands above his head with his right hand, and with his left, he gripped Zero's neck firmly. "Answer me Zero! Why did you wake up when you smelt Kain's blood? And you even knelt and licked it from him. What is so special about him?" Kaname was usually calm about these things, but right now, he can't bring himself to be calm in the least. Thoughts about Zero taking another blood from someone else made his heart ache and his blood boil.
Zero uncharastically whimpered at Kaname's stern voice. In his dreams, Kaname was nice even though they were being rather lustful in his eyes. But the Kaname in front of him is different. The Kaname in front of him looked scary in a way he didn't know. His gaze was full of hate. He didn't want that kind of look from Kaname; he wanted that warm gaze he saw in the Kaname in his dreams. Zero closed his eyes as more thoughts of Kaname invaded his mind. Why can't he just forget about his dream? Why can't he hate Kaname despite how scary he looked? Why can't he muster all of his strength and pushed the pureblood away?
The pureblood prince gritted his teeth. "Give me your answer Zero!" he demanded as he tightened his grip on Zero's arms and yanked it upwards.
Zero couldn't say anything. He hadn't remembered anything the pureblood had said he had done. He didn't even know when he had woken up. All he remembered is that he woke up in front of a pissed and angry pureblood. Finally regaining some part of his former self, He cleared his mind and tried his best to calm himself. He looked at Kaname straight in his eyes. "Let go of me! I don't know what you are talking about!" he shouted as he struggled with his new found vigor.
Kaname wouldn't have it any other way. He tightened his grip on Zero's hands. "Why are you resisting me? Just give me your answer and I will let you go. It's that simple." Kaname didn't want to admit, but he was afraid of Zero's answer.
"I don't know Kuran!" Zero shouted at the top of his lungs. He was sure that everyone in the moon dorm could hear him, but he didn't care at the moment. "I didn't know what you are talking about and I don't know why you are so angry at me. But I sure know this. The moment I opened my eyes, I saw your bloody fucked up face. Now get away from me!"
"What about Kain?" The pureblood insisted.
"I don't know anything about him. And why would he matter anyway." The silverette asked, he was not confused but he did want answers.
Kaname raised an eyebrow at the silverette's answer. He got it all wrong. Zero didn't do it on his own accord. Zero might have been influenced by Yuu and Ziell. And he hadn't got any blood these past few days, that's why his body was attracted to anyone's blood, thus what happened with Kain was all a misunderstanding. Understanding that he was the one who is wrong, Kaname loosen his grip on Zero's neck and arms.
Zero slumped on the bed as he was released from the pureblood's tight grip.
"I'm sorry, Zero, I was the one at fault." The pureblood apologized sincerely. How could he be such a fool.
Zero scoffed. "Since when did you start calling me by my first name Kuran? And anyway, I'm out of here" When he was about to get off of the bed, he felt something in him burn. He stopped and reached out to grip his throat. He was hungry. Now that all the haziness of his mind has been cleared, he could feel waves of hunger coming on to him. He tried his best to suppress it but it didn't work. Not when there's Kaname behind him. And the fact that he could practically taste, smell and feel his poisonous blood.
Noticing Zero's weird movement, Kaname grabbed Zero's face to meet his. He was not surprised to see the beautiful lilac orbs are tinted with red. "You need blood Zero. You need to drink." He stated coolly.
