Lilium Chapter 8

Chairman Cross decided that the ball would be held on the last day of school. Zero sigh he was happy. Now if he can just figure what he would be singing and wearing to the ball he would be good. Then he had to help set up the ball because somehow he was on the committee, something he rather not think about. And…

Zero shook his head to clear the fog out of his mind.

Well he was going to sing maybe one or two songs at the most and dance the night away. Everybody been asking to dance with him and Freya so he got buy a suit as well. He was deemed the host slash hostess of the gothic ball. He was honored.

…

One more week Zero thought just one more week and the ball would be here.

He was so nervous. He never had any problems performing but he's going to do it in front of all his peers. Jeez, confidence level dropped critically.

"Hana, I know you're there get over here," Zero said scooting over so he could sit there.

"Ah," Hana whined. "You can sense me now? How boring."

"You done it so many times that I can sense you movements, before you even do it,"" Zero smiled. "I'm getting use to your antics."

"Anyways are you going to perform for the ball," Hana asked.

"Yeah, I'm also the hostess slash host for the ball and a lot of people asked me to dance, but boys and girls, so I got to get a suit as well as a dress." Zero got up and Hana followed him. "Anyways, I can't wait for the ball to come I'm really excited."

Hana smiled, "Although you a lot of people asked you to dance, who are you going to dance with?"

"The committee, Yuki, few students that I got to know pretty well," Zero said counting away. "So that would make twelve people."

Hana smiled, 'Good.' "Then you wouldn't mind dancing with me?"

Zero snorted, "I would figure dancing with two squealing girls would grate on your nerves and break your resolves."

"Ah, but if I dance with you I would feel better," Hana smiled,

Zero pushed him. The made it to the dance hall of the school and something was a little off, but Zero couldn't point it out, it wasn't until he got to the door, that the whole ballroom exploded, knocking both him and Aido back. If they weren't vampires they would've been dead on contact. However Zero was knocked out after hitting a tree. He supposed it was a good thing the ballroom was further away from all the other buildings, but it didn't mean nobody heard it.

…

Zero couldn't feel his head. It probably wasn't even there.

He turned over in his bed and fell back off to sleep. He didn't want to wake up ever again. The pillows were soft.

…

Zero shot up in his bed. He looked around but everything was so blurry. He tried to move, but ended up slipping out of the bed. Somebody caught him.

"Try not to move too much, you're not fully healed yet," A voice said to him. It was obvious he couldn't see, but he couldn't make out who it was. Sort of.

"Kaname?" Zero asked warily.

The voice took a while to answer, Yes."

"What happened," Zero wasn't sure how he got here or anywhere near Kaname willingly.

"You and Aido were going to the ball room and there was a gas leak and it exploded knocking you out."

"Shit, Hana's okay right?" Zero asked in a panicking voice.

"He's fine, he's sleeping off the injury, like you should be doing," Kaname said trying to get the topic off of Aido.

Zero ignored the hint, "Where am I?"

"You're in the moon dorm," Kaname said.

"Pray tell why?"

"After the explosion it got pretty noisy and because you're a vampire, you wounds would probably heal quicker if they had gave you blood transfusion," Zero flipped.

"What you gave me blood?" Kaname blinked, it was almost as if it was a bad thing. "I've been living without blood every since I turned into a vampire, damn, it's no telling what kind of side effect it will have on me."

Kaname had to look into that, "Whether it was you dying or have side-effects, I rather you have side-effects."

"Why do you care," Zero snapped. "Frankly wouldn't it be a good way to get rid of a level e?"

Do you hate me? "You're a level d who hasn't showed any signs of turning into a level e, so of course I wouldn't kill you."

"Hm," Zero said thoughtful.

"Can I ask you a question," Kaname asked.

Zero turned his head towards him. He nodded it was the least he can do.

"Who turned you? And how?"

Zero knew what he meant. "I don't know." Zero sighed he hated going into the past. It just reminds him what happened and how little he remembered. "I blacked out twice that night and to be honest I don't even remember how I got back to the house I just did."

Kaname thought about there are only two vampires he know are pureblood one's probably dead and the other is asleep. So who could've turned Zero and how could he have stayed a level d for so long.

"Why do you care," Zero asked.

"I'm not as cold hearted as you may picture me otherwise I wouldn't care about you or the human race," Kaname said. "I also know that I'm not in any position to try to earn your trust because I'm a pureblood."

Zero just stared at him. He felt a little guilty. "Thanks and I'm sorry." Kaname eyes widen. "I know I didn't make things easy on you." He was about to choke on his words so he stopped.

"You're welcome and I'll do my best to find out who turned you." Kaname said.

Zero laid back down, "Don't bother. They bite me with the intention me dying. So don't."

"As you wish," Kaname said.

…

Well if wasn't good, but it's a start. I think I stalled long enough with Kaname and Zero. They had a little heart to heart, if you can call it that.
