CHAPTER-5: INTRUSIONS AND CONFUSHIONS
"My lords, I am afraid that you have a guest". Seiren said as she politely entered Harukas office where Kaname and his father where.
"Do not sound so coldly of a guest, Serien". Haruka said. "Now who is this guest?"
"Hello!" shouted a voice from downstairs. Both Kaname's and Harukas faces dropped at the sound of the voice.
"I'm very sorry my lords". Seiren said before she was shoved out of the way as the office door opened reviling a tall blonde vampire standing there.
"Oh hello again, my old friends". Aidou exclaimed as he ran in and gave both brunette vampires a tight hug.
"Nice to see you again too, Aidou" .Haruka said trying not to sound to irritated.
"What the hell are you doing here". Kaname said not trying to hide his agitation.
"Well, its almost Christmas and I wonted to come and visit my old school friends". Aidou said joyfully.
"So in other words you had nothing better to do and nowhere else to go". Kaname replied his voice dripping with irony.
"You don't have to say it like that". Aidou pouted and turned his back to the two purebloods. "Guess I might as well go home then if I'm not welcome then".
"You do that". Kaname huffed.
"Now, now, sine as you have come all this way to see us I'm sure it wouldn't kill anyone if you stayed for dinner". Haruka said trying to play peace maker.
"It would". Kaname said under his breath.
"Id love to stay for one of you lovely wife's delicious dinners, thank you Haruka". Aidou replied happily. "Now where is that lovely sister of yours hiding, Kaname". He continued and turned to leave the room before either of the purebloods could stop him.
Aidou ran from the room and began opening all the doors to all the rooms shouting out Yuki's name as he went.
"No Aidou stop". Kaname said as he ran up beside the blonde just as he was about to open the door to Zeros room. "Yuki's in the garden with my mother".
"Oh….Ok then lets go there". Aidou said as he skipped down the stairs.
Kaname gave out a sigh of relief before following Aidou down the stairs.
That evening all the vampires sat down to enjoy the fine meal Juri had cooked for them- she had decided to cook a whole goose with roast potato's and vegetables- as they talked about how Aidou and his family where along with what was happening with the Vampire council. But Aidou soon got bored with this and politely excused himself.
"If you would please excuse me, I am heading to the restroom". He announced.
"Are lives will be empty until you return". Kaname replied sarcastically.
Aidou pulled a face at him before leaving the room and walking up the stairs. As he walked along the hallway his vampire hearing picked up the sound of somebody breathing down the other end of the hallway.
Intrigued he followed the sound to the door where Kaname had stopped him from opening earlier that day. He smiled to himself and pushed open the door. The room was dark but Aidou new that somebody was in there, and as his eyes adjusted to the light he saw the sleeping shape of somebody lying on the bed. With his eyes full of curiosity he made his way over to the bed and gasped at the sight in front of him.
There sleeping on the bed way a pale human boy with amethyst eyes. Aidous own eyes flashed bloodlust red as he saw the boys slim neck on display and he leaned in closer to the boy taking in the sent of human blood running through his veins.
Suddenly sensing the vampires presence Zeros eyes snapped open and he jumped of the bed and away from Aidou.
"Now, now, little one, no need to be afraid". Aidou soothed but zero was buying none of it seeing the vampires red eyes as he walked closer.
Zero backed away from the blonde as far as he could until his back hit the wall and he caught his left hand on the sharp edge of the wooded panel frame that surrounded the walls.
"Ouch!". Zero exclaimed at the pain in his hand and pulled it into his chest holding it with the other one. As the smell of Zeros blood filled his nostrils, Aidou lost all sense of control and gave in to the bloodlust. And lunged at the boy and began forcing the injured hand away from his chest and licked the fresh blood leaking from it.
At the same time in the dinning room all the vampires suddenly became aware of the smell of blood and before they could blink Kaname ran from the room and up the stairs into Zeros room with some of the others behind him.
When he entered the room Kaname was enraged at the sight before him of zero lying on his back trying to fight of Aidou as the blonde vampire lay on top of him and was about to bite into his neck.
"Aidou". Kaname´s voice echoed off the walls as he shouted. Hearing his name being shouted Aidou regained control of himself and managed to stop before he bit Zero.
"Ah, Kaname I was just….Erm…". Aidou stuttered as he climbed to his feet but was cut of when Kaname grabbed him by the throat. And lifted him of the ground at arms length.
"I Swear if you ever touch him again I will kill you where you stand, do I make myself clear?" Kaname bellowed at the blonde.
"Ye..Yes, Ka..kan..name". Aidou said threw strained breaths. Kaname sighed and dropped Aidou who fell to his knees.
"Now get out" Kaname said calmly although his hands where still held into tight fists.
But when Aidou didn't move from his spot on the floor Kaname´s anger returned. "Now!" Kaname shouted as Aidou stumbled to his feet and sprinted from the room and running into a few of the other vampires waiting out side the room (too afraid of Kanames anger to enter) as he ran down the stairs and straight out the front door and into the dark night.
Once Aidou had left the room Kaname walked over to the boy lying on the cold wooded floor. As he got closer Kaname saw Zero lying on his back with one hand covering his eyes as he cried and his body trembling in fear.
"Zero, are you ok". Kaname asked but got no response from the boy in front of him. "I'm so sorry Zero, I never thought Aidou would do something like this". Kaname sighed and sat down on the boy's bed as Zero continued not to respond.
After a few minutes Juri gently knocked on Zeros door before walking in, carrying in a tray with some medical equipment which she handed to Kaname and left the room with a sad sigh.
Kaname looked at the tray and picked up some bandages and disinfectant before standing up and walking to the boys side before sitting on the floor crossed legged.
"Zero, I'm gonna fix up your hand ok?". Kaname asked as to not frighten the boy any more, but Zero didn't respond.
So Kaname gently grabbed the injured hand and held it up to get a better look, his eyes quickly flashed red at the sight of the sweet, delicious blood before him, but he regained his compo shier and his eyes returned to a chocolate colour.
First Kaname used a damp cloth to wipe the blood away from the cut and sighed in relief that the wound wasn't very deep. Next he warded Zero to brace himself as he poured some disinfectant into the cut.
Zero gasped and gritted his teeth at the pain but made no other sound as Kaname continued and started to wrap the wound in white bandages before laying Zeros hand back on the floor and stood with the tray and left the room.
In the hallway Kaname met Juri. "How is he, dear?" She asked her voice full of concern.
"He's in shock, he wouldn't even look at me mother, I cant believe how much of an idiot Aidou is for ruining all the time we've spent trying to gain his trust". Kaname said with a sigh as he shook his head.
"Now dear, don't lose hope, all we have to do is show him that not all vampires are like Aidou and Rido". She told her son confidently.
"Perhaps you're right". Kaname said slightly more cheerily.
"Of cause I'm right, I'm your mother". She said proudly and Kaname couldn't help but chuckle at her. "Come now, lets have a cup of tea and relax a little while Zero calms down, and we can check on him later". She continued as they both went downstairs and into the kitchen
In room Zero silently cried as he lay on the floor. "Why did he attack me, what have I done wrong?" Zero asked himself. "Why do vampires want to hurt people?".
As he continued to think Zero pushed himself off of the floor and sat with his back against the wall and looked down at his now bandaged hand. "And why are some of them kind to me like Kaname and his family? But what if they get hurt for helping me? Or what if they are planning on hurting me themselves? Kaien told me that they are related to Rido, what if they are working for him and this is all some big plan to hurt me some more? If that's true then I have to get out of here before they get me!". Zero thought as he stood up and started looking for a way out.
His eyes where drawn to the window in his room, he ran up to it and tried to open it but found it really stiff but he continued to push and eventually it popped his head out of the window and saw a long drop to the ground below, but then saw a drain pipe next to the window ledge.
Now he had his way out Zero grabbed the new clothes that Juri and Yuki had bought for him an got dressed along with his shoes. Then he looked around in the wardrobe for something warm and found an old light blue coat and pulled it on. Then he turned to the window and began climbing out onto the windowsill.
Zero shimmied along the black sill until he reached the drain pipe and held on to it as he climbed down and dropped the last few feet. Once on the ground he looked back up at the window in case someone was following him.
When he was sure the coast was clear he ran off in to the dark night and into the nearby forest.
"Good evening Zero, I hope your ok, I know Aidou is a bit of a wanker sometimes". Yuki said cheerily as she knocked and entered Zeros room carrying a tray with some sandwiches and warm milk on. But here face dropped as she found the room empty.
"Zero?". She questioned as she saw the curtains blowing in the cold night wind and cautiously approached the window. She dropped the tray t the floor with a laud smash sound as she steered in shock as she realized that was gone.
"Kaname, Kaname" Yuki screamed as she ran from the room and down the stairs.
"Yuki? What's wrong" Juri asked meeting her daughter halfway down the stairs.
"Its Zero, he…he´s run a…away" She said with teary eyes as she caught her breath.
"No". Kaname said under his breath as his mother comforted his sister. "This cant be happening?"
