A/N: Ah here we go finally :P It took a little bit longer than it was meant to and it took quite a bit of going over, but I managed to write it finally :D

I've been busy again recently so I haven't had much time to really write, but the time I've had, I haven't been in the right frame of mind to write, so it's slowed it down a lot. But I managed to finish this in the few times I actually could write. This would of been finished a few days ago if I hadn't been so lazy, I've been trying to work on editing it for 3 days now, and I finally managed it on the third :P.

It's raining again here, very much actually. Well at least the hose pipe ban has now been lifted :P.

I want to thank anyone who has; Read, Alerted, Favourited or Reviewed - love you :D It makes me really happy to get reviews :P.

This was beta read by DoujinGirl - who is the main reason why you have double the amount in this chapter and that it's better written. She's amazingly helpful, she pointed out everything I need to fix and well, you can see the end result XD.

After another long wait, we might as well get on with reading right? :P

Zero was placed on the silk bedding. Placed wasn't exactly the word he would use though, it was more of a rough drop from about ten centimetres above the bedding by the figure's now retreating back. Any other time he would of cared enough to yell – but now wasn't the time for any of that.

He listened to the sound of the door shutting behind the figures back before he finally let out a quiet grunt like whimper of pain, he'd been holding it for so long. His neck was killing him and his shoulder wasn't doing anything for the pain. He could feel his blood lust fading but that just brought on more pain, and then random bursts of stronger blood lust.

In the plan he hadn't expected it to go like this, but he must of really been in a hurry to start off the process while he was asleep. He would of spared himself a lot of conscious pain if he had just managed to stay asleep during that, but it was one of the most painful bites he had ever experienced, there was no way in all of hell that he would have been able to sleep through it.

Another surge of pain ran through his system, it was as if his blood was on fire, like little children hurrying out of a burning school, all flooding around his veins and trying to push past each other, causing the pain to increase.

His teeth came over his lip and bit down, desperately trying to break his focus away from the way acid seemed to be flowing through his veins. It did little to help. If anything it made it worse, the way that the scent of his own blood reached his nose causing his eyes to glow blood red. Blood lust was kicking in again. Only this time far worse than any other time.

Opening his mouth in a silent scream he tried to work on keeping quiet, it hurt. It really hurt. But Kaname didn't need to know that.

In another desperate attempt to keep his pain in he gripped to the sheets under him, just noticing then how bad his arm really was, fresh blood flowed freely through his white shirt and then leaked down his arms to his finger tips. The blood stung old wounds on his hand, but somehow also healed them slightly.

He watched his hand in mild fascination through the pain, so his blood really was changing now. It hurt, but it was amazing to watch as a new layer of fresh scar-less skin formed over the cuts that lead in the trail of blood.

An opening door interrupted his staring as he raised his eyes from under the silver bangs to see that Kaname was walking towards him at a slightly brisk pace, with something in his hand.

A growl quietly ripped from his throat as he watched Kaname sit on the side of the bed, disturbing his place and making him think of the pain again. The man however seemed to notice little of this, or pretended not to, as he made good work of stripping Zero of his blood stained shirt and inspecting the shoulder wound.

Raising a hand to it, he – with surprising care, for a pureblood anyway – washed the wound carefully, he moved his head towards it, but was quickly pushed away by the silvernette, who glared harshly threw the pain.

"W-What do you think your doing! You know my blood can't be drunk for a while!" He growled out, almost cursing himself for the stutter, but he allowed it this time, the pain he was in was enough to wish for death. But that was a wish that he would never achieve, not matter how much he would ever want or wish for it.

The brunette however gave no reply, he just pulled away with a slight annoyance, and then started to wrap the wound tightly, making sure that it wouldn't fall off any time soon.

After he was finished dressing the wound, he placed a shirt over Zero's body, helping him put the arms in the sleeves and then buttoned it up a few buttons, but not all the way, before pushing him back to lay on the bed with the force needed for the stubborn boy.

"I wish you had chosen a different spell, one that I had suggested." Kaname finally spoke, as he ran a hand through the silver locks.

Zero gave no reply and instead tried to turn his attention any where other than the pain, "Where's Rido?" He asked carefully, trying to keep quiet the small grunts of pain that came from the random flares of extreme heat through his blood system.

"In his room, sleeping. He shouldn't wake up for at least a while." Kaname replied stoically as ever, but continued running his hand through Zero's hair as he sat quietly on the side of the bed.

"Good, he needs to re-!" He cut off half way through as his eyes screwed shut, making his fists grip the sheets tighter, so tight that he could feel lengthening nails on the other side, almost digging in to his palm through the sheets. His lips parted slightly, before he bit down on his lip, in an attempt to silence any noise that would of come from his mouth.

"Shh... Your the one the needs to rest. Rido's fine, and you will be too, just bare with it for a bit longer." The brunet said as he flicked a few hairs out of Zero's eyes, watching closely as he seemed to flinch for a moment, causing his eyes to narrow only slightly at him.

The boy stayed tensed for about a minute – although it seemed a lot longer – as Kaname sat by his side watching over him, this was something he had never thought he'd ever see again, he'd even say that he 'missed' these times, but that would never be said out loud.

"Ka-!" He tried again, but this time he was unable to silence the sound of pain from his mouth, as he head tossed to the other side of the pillow, in a desperate attempt to not only hide his face but find another comfortable position. It didn't seem to work though, considering that a few seconds later his head had returned to the other side of the pillow, despite it being in Kaname's direct eye line.

The silvernette kept chewing on his lip in an attempt to not shame himself any further with any sounds of pain – or rather, weakness in his eyes, and probably Kaname's too.

Sweat dripped all over his body as he continued to chew on his lip, breaking the skin again and causing a small bloody trail just around the area.

"Try and sleep." The voice soothed again, as small strokes ran through his hair, forcing him in to a relax state and before he knew it, the pain had faded a little and his dreams had began again. He didn't care if it was Kaname's power, the pain had lessened, if only a little, it was almost gone.

Kaname watched the body next to him relax, but at the same time continue to toss, just not as energetically as before. He continued to just sit there and watched, still running his hand through the silver hair locks.

It wasn't long before his eyes turn to Zero's lips, grunts of pain leaving freely in his sleep. He saw the light traces of blood still on the edges of his mouth from when he had hurriedly began the process. He didn't mean to start it so quickly, but the sooner the better.

His eyes trailed over the pale lips before finally coming to the fresh wound made by Zero himself on the lip. He just sat there for a few moments eyes staring at the small wound.

It wasn't long though before the hand that had been seated comfortably in his lap had moved up and over to the lip, running his thumb along it gently then pressing a little harder on the wound, earning a grown from the silvernette.

Carefully he wiped the blood away from the lip with his thumb before raising his hand to his face and inspecting the thumb. He didn't care how much Zero would yell at him if he ever found out, it was needed to be done.

Kaname popped his thumb in to his mouth and sucked on the blood, his eyes flickering red for a moment, before he closed his eyes in satisfaction, and continued to enjoy the taste of the blood.

After a few moments of sitting there like that, he removed the thumb from his mouth and let a small smirk like smile grace his lips, his eyes trailed down to the tossing Zero, as he soon started to continue to stroke his hair in comforting strokes.

"Almost done." He said without expecting the reply as he returned the thumb to his mouth, enjoying any left over flavour the blood had left, as he continued to watch over Zero in his painful sleep, doing what little he could do to comfort him at this time.

Yuuki stared up at the house in front of her, house wouldn't exactly be the word she'd use though, she barely even used it for her own home, but this place was just simply a castle.

An old scary looking castle at that.

She peeked up at her mother who clutched her hand tightly in her own, her hold becoming tighter as they neared closer to the house, the girl could see the way her eyes danced with excitement and happiness just by the appearance of the house. But honestly she didn't see how, this place looked like something could jump out and attack them at any time.

Knowing that though, she knew that her father would be able to protect her, he was always the type of person to be loyal to some one, always kind and gentle but very strong when needed to be – surely he would be on guard at such a spooky place like this? Right?

Moving her eyes over to the man, she noticed that he was in a similar state to her mother, guard fully down, a soft smile gracing his lips as his eyes sparkled with old memories that this house brought.

Were her grand-parents really that special and amazing? That just by looking at the house they lived in her parents could be charmed in to believing that it was perfectly safe?

They're fools, the lot of them

That voice was right again, they were, she knew it. She wouldn't trust these people, she had known from the start that family are both dangerous and wonderful, her uncle almost killed her and claimed to kill her mother, that was enough to prove not to trust family you had never met before.

One of them must have had a mental problem to have their uncle born and then kept alive, her parents must have been lucky to just miss the gene. At that she let out a quiet scoff, these people must surely be off their heads for something like her uncle to come out of them.

When they had finally reached the door, she watched her father carefully walk on to the high doorstep and then knocked on the door three firm times.

They waited for about a minute before the door opened, showing a level B vampire, dressed in a black butler suit with white crisp gloves. Even he like the house looked a little bit spooky and off, with small grey hairs hiding among brown hair that was smoothed down over his head, a straight nose, with a few wrinkles showing on his forehead and narrow brown eyes looking past glasses. For a level B to look about forty, he must have been very old indeed.

"Mistress Kuran-sama, Sir Kuran-sama, we were expecting you a little later than this, but please come in." The man voiced as he pulled the door open wider for the three of them to walk in, barely acknowledging Yuuki's presents.

"Butler-san, When were you expecting us?" Haruka asked the vampire in front of him, as they followed him through many rooms, all of which decorated grandly and arranged perfectly.

"One day from now, Lord Kaname-sama said that you would probably be arriving two weeks exactly from the incident at Cross Academy." The Butler explained in full, before adding, "He's going to be quite surprised that he got it wrong, even if it was such a narrow time margin, but he'll be more upset about loosing his bet with the other Lord than anything".

Yuuki had blanked out most of the reply at Kaname's name, she also didn't hear the reply from her father or the soft laughter of both her parents as she walked on mindless being directed by her mother, not even noticing where she was going.

How was this possible. Lord Kaname? Lord Kaname-sama."Lord Kaname-sama" !

But he had left, with Zero. She had seen him in the car! She watched it drive away!

But... This is a good chance.

She was right – this wasn't just a good chance, this was an amazing chance. There was not a mention of on Mrs. Kuran, so all she had to do was to get Kaname to see how much of an amazing wife she'd make and she would fill the vacant spot.

And then, she would have a nice large family with Kaname, being the mother to any more children he'd want to have with her, and then, and then -

"Lord Zero-sama, Lord Kaname-sama will be very displeased if he is to know that you are out of your room again, shouldn't you be resting?"

That small family immediately popped out of her vision as the word around her started to fade in, and she became more aware of her surroundings. The smile she was carrying on her lips before had dropped on cue, as she noticed that they were in a lounging room, decorated with the colours black and red, with small traces of sliver and gold. But her eyes more drawn to the window than the room, or what was in the window.

Looking over at them while being covered half by the red curtain was a boy she had once called brother. All hopes of that now were lost in the wind.

Taking him in more closely she noticed that he looked a little different from when he had left, for starters his clothes had been changed and he was now wearing a baggy untucked dress shirt along with loose fit trousers – basically, he was in Pyjamas. His hair had grown considerably longing in just two weeks, with it reaching just below his shoulders, although most of it was pushed back slightly. His skin seemed to glow more than she had ever noticed before and his features became more defined.

But the biggest change of all was not his appearance it was the feeling he was giving off by her just being a few feet away. It was almost suffocating. And that was the feeling of a pureblood's aura.

"Z-Zero?" She called quietly towards the figure as he turned to look at her, their eyes met for a moment before he quickly broke it by looking anywhere but her.

"Wha- what are you doing here?" She called over to him, she didn't understand. How was this possible. Zero wasn't meant to be here. He was meant to be some where else, some where that was definitely not here.

"W-why...?" She stuttered out trying to piece together the pieces but it all seemed like they were from a different puzzle to her. There was no way that Zero was meant to be here. W-why... Why...?

Why?

Maybe she was just imaging it, maybe he wasn't really here at all! Maybe she was just a little home sick, since she had lived with him for many years, and had mistaken this vampire for Zero... Right? That was possible? Right?

…

"H-how..." She trailed off loosing her voice quickly, as his attention flickered over her for a moment, his eyes filling with a look she had seen many times in peoples eyes, mainly when they were looking at him, not her. This wasn't how it was meant to be, this wasn't even possible! How on earth was thi- She was cut off quickly as she stared at her mother, mouth hung open, eyes wide and hands clenched by her sides, she wasn't sure if the tears forming in her eyes were from frustration or anger.

"Okaa-san!" The women called cheerfully with open arms.

How was this even possible?

"Nii-chan's back!" The voice bounced happily off the walls of the dim room, as a small girl approached a figure seated in the direct point of light from a near window. Her long silver hair bouncing as she added small skips in to her steps.

"I know." The figure replied before opening his arms slightly in a welcoming manner, he let the girl climb on to his lap and in to his arms.

"Then were going to visit him soon?" She chirped with a smile, before she started to play with the figures silver hair, letting her hands run through the locks and gathering small amounts in to small groups.

"Of course, but we mustn't tell him were coming, Nii-chan is so stubborn." He smiled as he let himself lean back further in to the chair, content with the girl playing with his hair.

"Yep, Nii-chan is very stubborn. To think he could be so reckless." She hummed, before suddenly pulling on a piece of hair a little too hard, earning a yelp from the figure, "And you even knew but didn't tell me, what he was going to do." She grumbled out again.

"Sorry," The figure laughed out lightly, "It was for the best, and your just as stubborn as him. It'd be a shame to watch you fight over something he'd end up doing anyway." He mumbled the reply as he pulled up his hand to move some falling silver locks out of the girls face, "I really hate it when family fight."

"I do too..." She whispered out, before planting her face in to his shoulder, "But were not going to let him do that again, otherwise I really will end up taking action." She growled out, as she clung tightly to the figure.

"I know. I wish for Nii-chan never to go through that type of pain ever again." The figure replied earning a soft hum of agreement from the girl in front of him.

Never again.

A/N: I understand the ending is confusing, but it's for things to come :P. Actually a lot of things are coming in the next chapter so be prepared :P And sorry for the kind of cliffy, but there's only so much you can put in one chapter and still make it good to read. So I hope that you like it :D

I finally managed to get up to a decent size for my chapters with this one :) - And I hope it's enough, because the original was half the size of this, so I've basically doubled the amount of pages you need to read XD.

I know that Yuuki's have a few mood swings, but you see, she's a little bit upset right now, and her being the little Yuuki she is needs to get it out in anyway possible. Ah I really feel for any windows near by, she was never very good at controlling her Pureblood powers.

Any way, there we go. We finally got another chapter up :D I hope you enjoyed reading, please review and I'll try and update maybe a little earlier than this one, it depends how my other stories go :) - Thanks for reading :D
