Never let you go
Chapter 2
~ Flashback~
Zero was running has fast as he could through the forest. It was very hard for him because of his pregnant stomach.
- " Please, Dahlianna, my most respectful witch, please hear my pray and help me... I don't want to lose my baby...please...!"- he begged between breathes
- " I heard noise over there! Let's move!"- It was a voice of a soldier under Kaname. Zero heard the sounds of horses,they must have turned toward his direction
- No...Ah! - suddenly, he tripped because of a tree root. Looking at his leg, Zero knew that his ankle was twisted
- " Oh God, no...please don't let this happen, no...! "- Zero cried, holding his ankle
- " Found him!"- a soldier shouted
At that moment, a herd of black bats appeared in front of Zero. He knew perfectly well what it was
It was Kaname
Kaname walked slowly toward Zero, tried to be nice in order not to scare Zero
- " Zero, my dear, come here, let's go home and forget what happened. If you keep doing this, it's gonna be bad for our...child"
- " Why do you care? You don't even want it anyway!"- Zero shouted at Kaname in tears and backed away from him, until his back hit the tree trunk
-" Fine, I may not care about that thing but I care about you Zero! Now come here, don't hurt yourself anymore!" - Kaname started to lose patience, he was really tired
- " But I care Kaname! You're gonna have to find another mate that can give you a perfect Pureblood as an heir, I'm just human, I can't do that, I'll have to leave you sooner or later so I need this child to prove that our love was real so please, just let me go!" - Zero said in tears
- " What nonsense are you talking about? There's no other mate than you that I want! I don't care about what those Elders said, I just need you! Don't ever think about leaving my side Zero, you belong to me! I will not allow it!" - that's right, Zero belongs to him, no one can take Zero away from him, not even Zero himself! This had been decided the moment he first set his eyes on this beloved angel
- " I know that you won't allow me to..." - Zero took out a dagger from his poket and pointed it to his heart
Kaname's eyes widened. He wouldn't...
-" That's why I have made a decision myself, Kaname! I love you, but I also love this child. If this child lives, I live. If not then I..."
- " No Zero, don't do anything stupid, please! I love you!" - Kaname knows his lover very well, he dares to do everything that he says
- " Goodbye Kaname, I love you..." - Zero bid his farewell and moved the dagger
- " NO!" - Kaname screamed as he launched himself at Zero
Suddenly, a white smoke appeared and forced Kaname to move back. There stood a young girl about 14 or 15 years old wearing a black cloak right in front of Zero, the hood covered her fave so noone can see it, her hand had stopped Zero from stabbing his heart.
- " Don't do such stupid thing, my dear child. You have me hear with you now so there's nothing to fear." - she said
Zero knew this voice! It belongs to Dahlianna, the witch
- " Come with me, my dear." - she said as she held Zero's hand. In the blink of an eye, they both disappeared
Kaname just stood still with his army, looking unbelievable. His most beloved mate has just gone with a witch to God knows where
At that time, Kaname felt as if his mind has just died. He had gone mad, totally mad
Summer year 1528, all witches are executed in Salem, the ones who had survived swore to never come back again and kept their hatred toward humane and vampires along with them.
Kaname became the ruler of all vampires afterward and never gave up looking for Zero- his enternal love
Year 2005, Japan
They met again. This time, Kaname has sworn to never let Zero go again
~ End of flashback~
Kaname carried Zero to their bedroom. After settling him down into the bed, Kaname carefully stroked Zero's stomach and said:
- "Zero, are you fine now?"
- "I'm feeling better so don't worry" - Zero slowly caressed his lover's face
Kaname looked at Zero with painful expression. After he had found their child, he would teach him or her a lesson for having made Zero so miserable like this
- "Tell me, Zero, where is our child?" - Kaname went straight to the point
Zero's eyes widened. He stayed silent
- "Why are you asking this matter now? You don't even care anyway"
- "I do care, Zero! I do care now! Please tell me!" - Kaname begged
- "I'm sorry Kaname, I love you but when it comes to our child, I just can't trust you yet"
Kaname felt hurt and regret. He knew that his words that day had hurt Zero too deep
- " Ok the, rest well. I'll wake you up when it's dinner." - Kaname said as he kissed Zero softly on the lips and walked out of the door.
Zero was sad. He knew that he had hurt Kaname but he had to protect his child. His children, to be exact
Zero didn't tell Kaname that they had three children. They are triplets
At least, he knew that they are safe with Her.
Zero smiled to himself as he closed his eyes. He really needed a rest. She had overdone that day.
Kaname was sitting at his desk in his office. There were piles of document that he needed to finish but he didn't pay attention to them. Instead of that, he just kept thinking about Zero's word
" I'm sorry Kaname, I love you but when it comes to our child, I just can't trust you yet"
"...I just can't trust you yet"
- "Urg..." - Kaname used the back of his hand to cover his eyes. He felt like disappearing from this world. The only person he loved and loved him back didn't trust him anymore, that was worse than death. But then he thought: if he disappeared then who would take care of his Zero? He doesn't care about those vampires but he cares about Zero. What if he disappeared then Zero would find another man or even woman to entrust his life to? " entrust" - that word annoyed him. He was even much more annoyed by his own thought - of course he would never leave his Zero nor give Zero a chance to be with some one else other than him. Zero was HIS and HIS alone!
- " Kaname - sama, may I come in?" - Takuma's cut off his thought. Takuma has been his most loyal assistant, maybe he could help with this situation
- " Come in!" - Kaname sat up straight
Takumam Ichijou stepped in, carrying another pile of document on his hands
- " Wow, what happened to our great Kaname - sama here?" - and yes, he's also Kaname's bestfriend
- " Takuma, tell me, what will you do if your lover doesn't trust you?" - Kaname asked with a serious face
- " Well, make that person do then!"
Kaname rolled his eyes
- " Easier said than done, that person is Zero I tell you, ZERO!"
- " Ok, that made the problem go to another lever of complication"
- " Arg!" - Kaname threw his head back - " What should I do? If I lose Zero, I'm sure I won't be able to survive!"
Takuma looked at his bestfriend - also his lord. They have been friends for centuries and this was the first time he has seen Kaname so desperate,so...hopeless like this.
Zero hah? In Takuma's memory, Zero was a man with a smile so bright like the sun that could lighten everything up but also very gentle and refresh like the wind of a summer night. But having been a hunter in the past, he was also very strong and stubborn. At that moment back to year 1528 in Salem, he was shock by Zero's determination to keep his and Kaname's unborn child
He also remembered that after Zero had disappeared with that witch, Kaname had gone mad and burned down half of that huge forest using his power. He almost also took all the priority of the Elders in the Vampire Society but luckily, Takuma somehow managed to stop him. Then, Kaname was crazy about searching for Zero
But lucky for him that they have finally got back together. Still, Zero was still pretty aggressive about his child and decided not to trust Kaname with this
Takuma sighed
- " You know, do what I told you but try harder, I'm sure that it'll work...somehow..." - Takuma scratched his head
- " You're not being helpful at all " - Kaname glared at Takuma
- " Well, it's Zero as you told me. Anyway, these are the new documents, try to finish it today so I can go home early" - Takuma said as he place the pile of document on the desk and walked out
Kaname looked at the mountain of documents on his desk and sighed out loud
- " Zero..."
Zero woke up with a headache. He rubbed his head, tried to calm the pain down. It was already dark outside. Zero tried to get out of bed and went to find Kaname. He knew where his spouse is right now.
Zero went to Kaname's office. It was a pretty long way since this mansion was too big for his own good. After knocking mamy times on the door and still haven't had any responsed, he slowly pushed the door
Kaname was sleeping with his head on his arms on the desk. Zero found it quite amusing since Kaname looked...cute. He chucklef softly at the sight and search for a blanket to put on Kaname, protecting him from the cold eventhough he wasn't sure that can vampires get cold or not.
- " Zero..." - suddenly, Zero heard his name from Kaname. Was he having a dream about me?
At that moment, a pang of sadness and regret came to Zero. He knew that Kaname has been through a lot of things in order to search for him but...but...his children are also important
Zero sighed and left the room. He didn't know that Kaname was awake the whole time and had felt all emotion on his face
Kaname got up and held to the blanket that Zero put on for him. "Silly Zero, vampires don't get cold" - Kaname smiled as he thought, but that was a reason why he loved Zero so much
Kaname stretched his body and walked to the door. Well, it's time for dinner
Kaname walked down the stairs and found Zero sitting at the table with dishes of food in front him. Zero looked a little bit confused about what he should eat first. The dessert looks so good but he really shouldn't eat it before the main course!
Kaname chuckled at Zero's cute face. Zero finally looked up and saw Kaname standing on the stairs
- " You can eat dessert first if you want Zero" - Kaname said lovingly
- " You are spoiling me Kaname..." - Zero pouted
- " It's not wrong spoiling my beautiful mate hm...?" Kaname got close to Zero, rest his chin on Zero's head and inhaled Zero's scent
Blood rushed to Zero's face. Kaname just chuckled at that
Kaname sat down and they started eating
Suddenly, a loud bang and the door was opened. A little boy ran inside, it's their Messenger
Kaname growled dangerously. He rarely got time with Zero, how dare he destroyed it
But the Messenger didn't scent that aura form Kaname, or he tried to not notice it
- " Kaname - sama! Zero - sama! You have an urgent messege from Kaien Cross! - the Messenger said as he took out a letter
- " The Principle?" - Kaname asked as he took the letter from the Messenger
- " What happened? Is there anything serious?" - Zero asked worriedly. Although he didn't want to admit it but Kaien Cross is like his second father
- " It seems that the academy is in danger involving vampires and Cross needed us to protect it"
- " The academy? In danger? Why? Is it being targetted again?"
- " Well, he did mention the name of the threat in here. It's Rido Ku...something, his handwriting is awful!"
Zero's eyes widened at the sound of that name
- " Wha... What name? Who?"
- " Rido..." - Kaname didn't finish his sentence
clang!
Zero dropped the silver fork he was holding to the hard, marble floor
- " It can't be..." - Zero mumbled
- " Zero...?"
