"...Z-zero, harder...!"

Kaname's moan was still rattling in his throat as his wrist pulled against the chains shackled onto his wrists, though Zero was not about to care. Instead he refused to let the pureblood escape from his clutches, not yet... Not even as blood slipped down the wounds from Kaname's neck. His fangs remained firmly locked into his neck as he refused to slacken his grip.

Another moan roared out of Kaname's lips as Zero's hips slammed into the hot confines of his walls once more. It was beautiful. The sweat that was licking down their skin only made it sweeter to the touch. And as their bodies moved in motion and Kaname struggled against the cuffs engraved with the hunter's mark, he knew that it could only get better...

The taste of the pureblood was hot in his mouth, tingling on his tongue. Their bodies were intertwining, the sweat gliding across their muscles... They crushed together, pulled apart, then crushed again... Then they moved faster, and faster. The kisses were frantic as both knew they were reaching the end... It was a race against time as their lips locked, Kaname shaking in his cuffs, bodies mashing together in a fit of passion...

And the heat climbed higher... and higher... and higher...!

Until...!

"..K-Kuran...!"

The cry burst from Zero's lips as he suddenly sprang upright on the bed, sweat glossing his skin as he was left panting for air. His heart rocketed in his chest as he tried to gain his senses back to what had just happened... until he slowly saw the dark presence of his own room stretched before him.

With a groan Zero flopped back into his bed, feeling the sweat that soaked the sheets beneath him. Another nightmare... Or at least that was what Zero chose to believe. They had been happening ever since that night with Kaname, finally having sex but sober... Though it was nothing to celebrate. Zero wanted to just go die.

He stared at the ceiling, trying to forget the memories that were already flocking into his head... But then he started to realize something. The reason to his... sudden awakening.

...he needed a shower.

The pureblood experienced a similar dream that night, having allowed it to continue to the point that his own needs had woken him up. But there was no time for him to linger on them, to allow his urges to be relieved. So instead the male merely put up with the ache as he got ready and went to class. It was a long several hours being stuck in that stifling room, especially when he knew he had plans to meet the hunter after his classes.. They had agreed to meet once more, deciding that they needed to figure out what was going on between them, why their urges still continued to eat away at them regardless of their reluctance.

They hadn't been intimate since that time all those nights ago, the night they both took each other as equals, enjoying the penetration and touches from both sides. But it had been far to long, each meeting getting increasingly difficult for him to stay calm and composed. There were times that a breeze had picked up the hunters scent, carrying it over towards the pureblood. It took every fiber in his body to not jump the hunter then and there. Other times he caught sight of the others chest, an angle catching and allowing hungry eyes to gaze at what they needed..

It was like second nature, one in which he tried very hard to hide.. But at least now class had finished, allowing Kaname to leave the class and quickly go to the agreed destination. A place in the forest away from prying eyes. So that's where he waited, hiding from the sun and waiting for the ex humans arrival...

The hunter had decided he wouldn't care if he was late any longer. Instead he made sure he stayed in that shower as long as he wished, taking in the coldness that crossed over his still heated skin and trying to sooth his pounding heart... He just needed to relax... But these dreams... They were getting more frustrating by the day, and he wasn't sure why.

Now he couldn't even fall asleep during class any longer... Those dreams would haunt him then.

But eventually he stepped out of the shower and retrieved his books he had gathered from the library and a few from Kaien's own private study. Of course there was no asking Kaien to let him take some books... Since when did Zero ask for anything anyway. He sure as hell didn't ask for this to happen. But he had gathered the supplies he would need and hopefully it would help...

Kaname's scent alone was driving him wild. It was something he thirsted on, craved on, and it wasn't about to stop for a moment. And as he stepped outside, dressed in his black Day class uniform in his usual fashion, his bag flung over his shoulder, he almost wished that he could go back to his room and just go back to sleep... He didn't want to deal with the pureblood...

His silvery hair was still glossy faintly with shower water as he stepped towards the spot where they would meet. He didn't have any new ideas of what to do... but he hoped and prayed that Kaname would. And soon enough he saw the pureblood huddled in the shadows, just like the vampire he was... With a grumble, Zero tossed down his bag and sat himself down on his usual stump, sending a glare to the pureblood. "...Find anything or what?" This was about how they greeted each other lately, trying to ignore the passion by shoving it away under hatred.

Nothing was more pleasing to the pureblood's sense of smell than a freshly washed Zero.. And by luck, that's exactly the first thing that met his nose. Or perhaps it was bad luck, because right now he wished nothing more than to jump on the filthy D and take him where he sat, wiping that glare from his face and instead replacing it with one of pure pleasure. But that's not what they were here for, Kaname had more self restraint than that.

Turning his face to glare at the young male, Kaname was immediately reminded of why they were here.. And for once, this time he had uncovered something. But that something made the males blood boil, it was impossible. There was no way it was true and Kaname refused to be treated like some common dog.

"I have found some information... About marks" That mark is what started all of this, Kaname was especially careful these days to not touch it at all, the slightest feeling against it always felt light he had been burning up, the need for Zero fully overtaking him. But what he found out disgusted him, which in turn soured the males mood.

"Apparently hunters use marks to tame a vampire. A pet if you would. But I feel no need to bow down to you as a dog, nor do I comply to every whim that you may have. So this is not the reason, though I do believe we are on to something."

Reaching behind his back and grabbing a large book, Kaname tossed it over to the other male, allowing it to land by his feet. he could look through that himself and see if there was more information they could use.

...A pet?

This was getting more worth getting up in the morning for with every moment that was passing. It almost wiped the glare from his face as he stared down at the book that was thrown before him, and he made no hesitation to lean down and quickly pluck it off from the ground. So this would have the answers they were searching for... And search he did, for exactly what he wanted to hear.

The more he read about this situation, the more the hunter began to smirk... and smirk... And the smirk continued to darken with every moment that passed as he flipped through some pages. Though not everything quite fit together, some of it made sense... Enough sense that made the hunter look back up at Kaname with a smirk.

He tossed the book quietly back to Kaname's feet in a moment, all while leaning himself back against the trunk of a tree standing behind him. He couldn't believe how his luck was turning for him... How beautiful this all was going to be for him... And he defined it all in just a couple of words.

"...So you're my bitch."

A dark hiss passed through the pureblood's lips at his words, the deathly glare taking over his features at the same time. He would not bow down to anyone, he was the highest rank possible, there was no possible way he would do such a thing, especially to a filthy 'D'. Stepping forward to the hunter slightly, Kaname bared his teeth.

"Did you not hear me, Kiryuu? It doesn't add up. This isn't the explanation we were after! And if we are naming 'bitches' then I recall you crying out MY name with pure passion not so many nights ago." It was true, a master would not call out their servants name so willingly, with so much emotion. This was merely a book that would help them get on the same track, to allow Kaname to find the truth easier..

It was obvious that Zero had taken this a different way, to think he held some type of leverage against the pureblood. How wrong he was.. If he truly wanted to put this to the test, then Kaname would show him exactly who was boss, just who held the leash here.

"I recommend you read this again but pay more attention this time around, you are wrong and I will not answer to you"

Who was the one Kaname was calling a bitch? In an instant the slightly playful mood was lost from the hunter, replaced by a hardened glare that sank deep into the rubies that looked back at him. Pulling himself up from his seat within an instant, fury met fury as the two stepped towards each other, their eyes locked. His own lips peeled back and revealed his sharpened fangs, knowing he might have to gain some dominance if needed.

"The only bitch was you when you were begging for me, and I heard you call out my name more than a few damn times too, Kuran!" Zero growled back at him with no hesitation, knowing full well that the blame was shared to just who had been calling for who that night. That was something Zero was not prepared to give up on the thought just yet, nor would he ever want to...

"How will reading it again do anything different? What, you want me to go through all the hunter's books I brought to prove it to you? Hunters tame the vampires, that's why we're here. I tamed you." There, that was it. Taming. Zero had tamed the pureblood when he had seduced him into bed...

...Hell, this was actually a better idea than assassinating him was.

"Tamed? If you think I'm tamed then command me to do something, prove to me that you're my 'master' for I feel no need to bow to you, nor will I ever bow to the feet of a hunter" it was the ultimate disgrace for him to do such a thing, someone of his rank lowering themselves to that level. It was why he stepped closer still, standing straight as he seemingly towered over the other male.

It was hard for him not to keep the color from his cheeks though, the very mention of what they had done sending a shiver down his body. But it wasn't the time for this, there was no need to try and think back on what had happened, that time had passed for them and it was time to solve things.

"Look through the books again. There will be an explanation for this, it was your hunter genes that did this to us after all. This is your responsibility." So Kaname had decided to blame Zero for this, having gotten it out of his head that he had also been the one to lean into that first kiss, equally wanting Zeros body. In fact their first time he hadn't been marked, so there was something there before hand.

"Hurry up, bitch"

This was not going to end well. Not as the glares lashed down at each other and neither of them moved even for a moment. Neither of them would fall to the command of the other... And just for Kaname to think it would disgrace his kind to bow before Zero, the hunter was no different. To have a vampire overpower him was a fate worse than death. And Zero wasn't going to take it.

"You do it, bitch."

Zero almost spat the words out of his mouth before his hand suddenly lashed out of his side. He would prove that Kaname was his bitch, no matter what the cost. No matter if he lost his arm because of it, he would prove it to him. Without giving himself a chance to think of the consequences, knowing that it would be more than enough time to make Kaname react against him, Zero reached out...

And grasped hard onto Kaname's thigh over the mark.

His hand squeezed tight through the white uniform, clutching onto him like there was no reason to ever let go. This was something that now neither of them would have control of... That mark has been becoming more sensitive by the day, and even the movement of clothing against it would irritate it in some way... But now let's see what happens, who will conquer who.

A loud gasp left Kaname's lips as that mark had been grasped. There was no time to stop Zero from doing this, by the time he had realised it, it was far too late. And now, his legs started to shake and almost buckle with the intense feelings passing through him, the way heat coursed through his system like a stream of lava in his veins. But that heat alone was only directed to the male holding him, it was why he began to walk backwards, pushing the other against the tree.

Only a few seconds had passed before Kaname crashed his lips down against the hunters, unable to stop the passion that was currently coursing through him. It seemed that being in contact with Zero was the only was he could release any part of this torturous pleasure. But he allowed the other to know just how much he hated this.

"Dammit!" between each Kiss Kaname was sure to pass out a whisper or growl, allowing himself to catch his breath at the same time.. "Why you..?" Another kiss, this time passing down the others neck as a heated love bite was placed upon the others flesh.

Pulling back to look into the others smouldering eyes, Kaname let out a small hiss. "I am not your pet!" Crushing his lips against the hunters once again, Kaname attempted to relieve himself of this feeling.

Zero unfortunately didn't realize his mistakes as he slapped onto the mark... And that was his worst mistake yet because the heat was already rushing into his entire body. And that wasn't all... It was all for the pureblood that stared at him with just as much lust reflecting in his own eyes. Of course Zero found himself unable to hold back for another moment as he lunged for his partner...

Their lips crashed together as their arms grasped onto each others body, trying to grab as much as he could find and within reach. Kaname's white uniform started to tear in the tight grip on his back though it tightened as Kaname pushed him to the tree. He wasn't about to get pinned... It was why they spat curses at each other between passionate kisses. It was a strange thing to watch...

They would claw at each others clothing, growling out curses as they littered kisses over their neck and lips. They would bite from time to time and their blood would run free... It seemed like they had completely forgotten what they had been intending to do, finding what was wrong with this. Instead the hunter found no way to restrain himself as he rocked his hips up hard into Kaname's, as if egging him on...

"...p-prove that you're not a bitch."

Growling harshly at the hunter that had started to grind against him, Kaname could only trail his fangs along the expanse of the others neck, drawing out precious beads of blood while his tongue hungrily lapped away at the fevered flesh. He knew he shouldn't bite, in fact it would probably ruin what they had going right now, so instead he settled for this, taking what he could without hurting the other... Much.

"You want.." Kiss "proof?" Nip "you will regret those words.."

Smirking darkly as he pulled away from the hunter, Kaname stepped back and allowed that look to turn into a lustful but menacing smile. Standing perfectly still, Kaname simply used some of his 'ability' and held the hunter against that tree. His aura keeping him perfectly still despite the way he was obviously straining.

"That, Zero is what you would call dominating someone." Keeping that smirk on his face, Kaname stepped forward and trailed his hands down the entirety of the hunters body, his fingers lingering in his more intimate area more than completely necessary. Of course he allowed Zero to move his head freely, wishing to see how much he would thrash around under each touch..

"Ah.. I love that look. Please, keep looking at me as though you wish to kill me, it turns me on even more.." He knew Zero liked his touches of course, and only to prove his point the pureblood walked to the hunters side and leaned over.. Only to suck seductively on the males earlobe, catching his fangs teasingly in his earrings..

The hunter couldn't believe how easy it was to be trapped like this, an animal in a cage... And he refused to go down without a fight. Snarling out at the pureblood, the hunter strained himself against the invisible binds, trying to heave and pull against them. His muscles strained as he tried to fight against it, though he was beginning to find that it was no use... He was glued to the tree, and he would not be able to escape.

The hard glare dug into Kaname as he started to move his hands over his body, trying to replace possible groans with hisses and swears. It was hard at first, but he focused on the hatred he had for this man... And trying to turn the heat that he felt towards him into a burning hatred. He didn't care for him, he wouldn't...

But the moment that his hands caressed over that one area was the moment that broke him too quickly. A loud moan gushed from his lips as he tried to thrust his hips into Kaname's hand, only to lightly tremble in his grasp instead. It felt too good... Too amazingly good to be hate... And he tried again to struggle against the restraints as best as he could, his hands trembling as he wished to reach out and grab him...

It was like music to his ears once more. Hearing the male groan out in lust with the touch Kaname wished to provide him with.. It only told him that this was what he wanted, what Zero truly needed.. And so it would be his duty to provide it, that was what the mark was for after all. Or that's what Kaname had told himself as he continued sucking on the males earlobe.

"Now.. Lets see if i can make you cry out my name again, Kiryuu.." Ghosting his hands slowly down the others body, slipping his hand underneath the black school uniform, Kaname traced the hunters muscles with his fingers slowly, mapping his body so it would be fresh in his mind. He was very toned, it was quite impressive.

Moving his mouth to the hunters neck and sucking away on the flesh beneath, Kaname's hands ventured lower and lower, bumping into the button that held his desires closed off. "I'm going to show you I'm not your pet... Ill show you just who you want to do this with.. Ill show you... That you're mine.."

And just like that, Kaname flicked open the button of the males trousers and snuck his hands inside..

Those words cruelly ran through Zero's head no matter how much he tried to shake them out and disobey them, but he also lusted to hear them... To ear how much Kaname wanted him, to hear him say that he wanted Zero to squirm, to know how he would torture the young hunter before him... It was all so beautiful... But try as he might, he couldn't do anything to Kaname to show how much he wanted this, being unable to move a muscle.

Yet his heart pounded in his chest, rushing blood to a few other places rather than the usual, something that Kaname would already plainly see... At least he wouldn't be restricted of that movement. And as those perfect hands rounded over his muscular body, feeling the fine lines that slowly led down to his hips, he couldn't help but give out another soft moan, a wordless cry for Kaname to continue his torture.

Zero continued to fight against the restraint, his hands twitching more and more as they wished to wrap around Kaname, to grab him and tear off his clothing... And even as he had been kissing his neck, sometimes biting it, he strained to lean over and return the bite, though with pure defeat. So instead he watched the lust that danced in Kaname's eyes, roaring like a flame. And he also watched the growing arousal in Kaname's own pants, wishing to be spent.

"...l-let me go," Zero slowly growled out to him, lust thick and heavy in his voice. It was all he could muster out as his leaned muscles strained against the restraints once more to take his partner and show him he would not so easily be pinned without Kaname's powers...

Such a challenge.. The way the hunter was obviously trying to rebel against Kaname's ties only fueled the sadistic side in him, his body begging out to allow Zero to do just that little more.. So that's what he did, after curling his hand firmly around zeros hardening appendage, giving a few teasing squeezes, Kaname simply dropped the binds of his power and stepped back, releasing zero all the same.

"I'll show you.. My strength is not merely mental ability, Zero.." Keeping that lustful smirk on his face, Kaname lunged forward, Zero seemingly doing the same as their mouths melded together in another hot and passionate kiss. But it didn't stop there, between Zero ripping through the pureblood's uniform, Kaname started to push back the male, using much of his strength as he did so. It seemed Zero wasn't all too willing to be dominated once more.

Scratching, nipping and biting each other all the while, the pair allowed hungry hands to follow every inch of each other's bodies, Kaname's hands planting themselves on the hunters perked nubs, pinching and twisting, pulling out soft but desperate moans from the hunter.

It was then that Kaname froze, a scent reaching his nose and quickly approaching. It seemed that someone had spotted the hunter entering the forest and decided to come after him. Breaking that passionate kiss and looking behind him, Kaname let out a low hiss. Knowing there was nothing he could do to stop the intruder, the male turned back and kissed the hunter passionately only to disappear seconds later.

"Zero? Are you out here?"

Wondering into that clearing only a few seconds later, Kaito Takamiya walked through the trees, smiling happily when spotting his lover. "I've been searching for you"

Zero's usually highly keen senses seemed to be failing him lately... Or maybe he did nothing to care that someone else was coming towards them. He was far too locked into the current passion that was being thrown to each other, locked in a heated embrace that even horses tied to their bodies in a full gallop could not tear them apart.

As Kaname's hands curved into his muscles, it felt like his touch was creating such fire within his body... It made him moan out for more, while making sure that he tortured Kaname's own body underneath his touch. His claws were too busy tearing into the white uniform, faking purity that he knew the pureblood no longer had, as he reached his mouth up to Kaname's neck, about to sink his erect fangs straight into his neck...

But then Kaname had stiffened up, a hiss leaving his lips. It left Zero confused as the touches drifted away from his body, only to double the confusion as Kaname kissed him hotly but shortly, then disappeared moments later. What was getting into Kaname...?

Then he heard the voice he didn't want to hear at this point. Kaito.

Only then did he notice just how he would look to Kaito... His arousal was obviously exposed, his clothing in ruins, and now his friend was about to see him look like he was a hooker that had been thrown out before getting his money. Trying to think as fast as his still confused mind would take him, he quickly backed his way into bushes tall enough to hide him up to his waist, but knew that there was no way to cover up his chest.

Then he saw Kaito, his eyes locking onto his... Fighting down the blush as best as he could, the hunter used this moment to try to fix his arousal into his pants as much as he could. Gulping down his emotions, he tried to think of an explanation...

"...L-Level E got on campus. I chased it out," he stammered, knowing there was nothing else that would make sense to his obvious disarray.

Chuckling at his lovers obvious discomfort at being partially unclothed, the young hunter stepped over to the bushes and shrugged off his jacket, handing it over with a smirk. But he also couldn't help but notice the flush in the others cheeks, how his breath was partially laboured. Was he.. Aroused? Stepping closer still, Kaito allowed his eyes to wonder over his mates body.

It was then that the smirk got even more pronounced, realizing just how hot and heavy the male before him was. "My, my.. Have some pent up energy to use, do you? We did get a little cut short last time.." Last time they were close was.. Well it was strange, Zero suddenly dashing off into the bushes without so much as an explanation as to why.

In fact Zero had been acting a little distant lately, he had been seeing less and less of the silverette. So maybe this was his bodies reaction for being away from him so long, neither having released any of that pent up frustration lately..

So he stepped forward, cupping the males cheeks in his hand as he leaned over and pressed his lips softly against the others, a smiling ghosting on his lips. "Ive missed you.."

Oh damn, oh damn oh damn. He really wanted to do... that again? The hunter swallowed a little hard as he tried to stumble himself a step back, only to feel his pants get caught on the branches of the bush. This wasn't going to end very well, or at least for Zero. If Kaname scented Kaito on him, then...!

...wait. Why the hell did he care. Kaname was after him only for sex, and Zero knew that. It wouldn't matter to him, not when he knew Kaito could take care of him, not as a fuck buddy but as a friend closer than anyone else could see. With those thoughts in his mind, the hunter forced his worries to ease away as Kaito kissed his lips, only for Zero to softly kiss him back, an event rare for them to do so suddenly.

Kaito would be here for him, Kaname will not. Kaname didn't own him, he never will...

"I've missed you too," Zero softly murmured back to his close friend as he let their lips press together again, and his arms soon started to wind their way around his old friend's waist. Kaito has always been his protector, and he knew he could rely on him, no one else... It wasn't a question of who he should be with, it was how he would get Kaname off his tail.

Though as he pulled Kaito closer against his body, he couldn't fight back the sharp twisting pain that was forming in his stomach.

It was moments like these that the elder hunter treasured most, the times that Zero was willing to have him as much as he had been willing to give. So as time went by and the two eagerly embraced, kaito found himself being drawn in by this silverette, his heart swelling with love the longer the stayed entwined. And as what felt like hours passed, the two eventually made slow but passionate love..

It was rare that this happened, Zero was still so fragile.. So easily broken. It was why kaito had always been there for him, his protector, his best friend and his lover.. As he would always be, for Zero was the most important person in his life, no matter how damaged their past had been.

And as they lay breathless on the forest floor below, Kaito eventually pulled himself away from the young hunter and sat up, smiling at the other with an adorning look. "Let's not spend so much time apart again, it's hard to protect you when I can't see you" smirking a little as he pulled on his clothes, Kaito leaned over and kissed his lovers reddened cheek.

It no longer mattered to Zero if Kaito was the one to dominate him, because he made Zero feel truly equal no matter what was going on between their bodies. And as his heart thundered in his chest as their bodies moved in their slow, syncopated rhythm, he couldn't help but feel the warmth that Kaito gave him, to know that his partner would never leave his side. Though as their lovemaking continued, they eventually slid into their climax with ease, then had to force their bodies to separate.

They laid there in each others arms for as long as they wished, never caring about how they were in the open, to be stumbles across. Because there was no one else in the world at this moment that Zero gave any concern about. As he laid his head into Kaito's tones chest, he couldn't help but slightly blush at Kaito's words. "I won't ever leave your sight again..." Zero returned with a chuckle, fairly nuzzling into his chest.

Zero found no need to decide what e would do now. Kaname would not dare approach him with Kaito's scent on his body, and he did not belong to the pureblood. He would choose now, and he would not dare slide away from Kaito like he had mistaken before. He didn't give a shit about that mark, not when Kaito was here beside him, to never leave him again... It was how it was meant to be after all.

Kaname wouldn't dare come near him again for Zero's body.

Yay more fluff! But things will definately start going downhill in the next chapter :3 I already am starting to work on piecing the chapter together so if you stay tuned for about a half an hour, that chapter should be brought right out~ It will definitely be a bombshell and answer some questions once and for all :3

gleish26: Thank you for wanting to read this story~ Your English is fine don't worry xD But yeah, Kaname doesn't really seem like much of the mothering type...

ben4kevin: At least you don't have to wait as long this time :3

sakurayuri89: Kaname definitely has some masochism going for it xD It might be some time until Kaname allows it again, though, and there might be a couple problems in the way of that happening soon, too... :3
