Chapter 5: Sleeping Beauty 2

-10:00 P.M.-

"Kaname-sama the chef have called in sick." Ruka said as Kaname turned around to leave. Ruka frowned as she tried to catch Kaname's attention. "Kaname-sama wha-" "Leave me alone." Kaname cut Ruka off who became embarrassed. She stormed off while flailing her arms around, though when Kaname is already out of sight, she smirked then laughed darkly.

"Don't worry Kaname-sama, I will have you when he's gone." Ruka skipped around while humming. Kain saw it all. He decided to confront Kaname.

Kain knocked on Kaname's study room. "Come in." Came muffled by the door. Kain entered the room and it seemed that Takuma and Aidou is all ready inside. "Were you discussing something important? I could come agai-" "No, It's fine. I also have something to tell you." Kaname said with a slight depressed tone.

-With Zero-11:00 P.M.-

Zero went down to the kitchen when he heard one of the maids talk about not having any chefs to replace the ill one. "Umm... Zero-sama, It's fine, you don't have to cook. Plus y-" "It's fine, I insists. I also want to cook because, well, I love to." Zero said with a smile while the maids hesitantly left.

Zero looked through the fridge when Shiki came by and helped him prepare the things necessary along with the ingredients. "Shiki it's fine you don't have to help me." Zero said as he boiled somethings. "I want to." Shiki said with determination. Zero just sighed.

-With Kaname-11:10 P.M.-

"I would like to speak in private, if you would please?" Kain asked as Kaname dissmised his two followers. "What is it?" Kaname asked. "Why is a witch here?" Kain asked as Kaname raised an eyebrow. "A Witch?" Kaname tilted his head. "Ruka Souen. She's a witch." Kain said while Kaname raised an eyebrow.

"She's not a witch, she's a vamp-" "No, she cursed Zero to die." Kaname did not expect that. 'Maybe this is what Takuma and Aidou said.' Kaname thought. "What does the curse say?" Kaname asked as Kain slowly said the curse.

"Silver hair and amethyst eyes, one that enchanted my prince's eyes, On the third moon you shall shed blood, even a drop, very very very deep sleep will embrace you till you die, unless you turn into something that you detest. Well that's how I remembered her say." Kain said as Kaname thought for a while. "When is his the third moon?" Kaname asked as Kain looked depressed.

"Today." Kain said while Kaname stood up. "What time will the curse activate?" Kaname asked as his eyes turned red. "12:00 P.M." Kain said. "What time is it?" Kaname asked as Kain looked at a near by clock. "5 minutes 'till twelve." Kain said as he stood up. "I smell blood." Kaname said while Kain quickly darted off to where Zero was with Kaname following suite.

-With Zero-11:55 P.M.-

Zero was just chopping on some carrots when he accidentally slice his finger. "Are you all right?" Shiki asked as he stopped with all of his movement. Then the door slammed open revealing Kain and Kaname.

"What is wrong with you two?!" Zero said as he slammed the knife to the cup board. "Why are..." Zero then suddenly fainted. "ZERO!" The three shouted as Kaname quickly caught Zero's falling form. As soon as Zero fell to Kaname's arms the clock rang signaling that it's 12:00 midnight.

Then a dark laugh caught their attention. "HAHAHAHA! KANAME-SAMA HE'S GONE! YOU CAN BE MINE NOW!" Ruka came out of no where. Kain growled at the witch while Shiki is analyzing something. Kaname ignored Ruka which ticked the witch off. "Why are you ignoring me?! He's gone! I'm here! I should be the one y-" "He's not yet gone." Shiki suddenly said with a small smile.

"What?" Ruka said confused as well as the other two occupants of the room. "It seems that you don't understand your own curse. It say that sleep will take over him until he die-" "I know!" "But then you said UNLESS he turns into something he detest. Zero detest himself for being a half. That is if Kaname-kun would bite him." Shiki said as Kaname was filled with glee as he heard that there was hope.

"No... NO! THIS CAN'T BE! NOOO!" Ruka screamed as Kaname used his pureblood powers on her. She became dust right in front of them. Kaname looked at Zero lovingly. His fangs became longer as he closed the distance between Zero's neck and his lips when suddenly a loud explosion caught their attention.

Kaname's eyes grew wide as he knew the auras of the visitors. "No! They're here!" Kaname said as Kain and Shiki looked at him weirdly. "Who are?" Kain asked. "My uncle Rido and Aunt Shizika." Kaname said as Kain and Shiki frowned.

"Kaname~ Our sweet little nephew~" Shizuka's sickly tone made Kain and Shiki's stomach churn. Kaname gave Zero to Kain and Shiki. "Keep him safe. Go to the woods by using the back door. I'll keep them preoccupied." Kaname said as he stood up. He caressed Zero's face. "I'll come back. They won't kill me." Kaname said then left Kain and Shiki with Zero.

'Take care of him.'

Kaname stood in front of Shizuka and Rido. "Hello Uncle Rido and Aunt Shizuka. You didn't need to destroy almost half of my castle." Kaname said with a normal deadpan voice. "Oh~ Kaname~ We just smelled a human in your castle~" Shizuka said as Rido looked at him hard. "Who is inside?" Rido asked as he took steps forward.

"Just the usual." Kaname said with a tone of defiance. "Why are you two here?" Kaname asked as Rido smirked. "We know that the last of the Kiryuu is inside that castle. You're supposedly fiance, said it to me." Rido said as Kaname cursed Ruka. "She's not my fiance, never was. Plus she angered me, so, I killed her." Kaname said as Shizuka tsked. "Kaname, Kaname, Kaname, Don't anger me. Tell me where he went." Shizuka said while smiling too sweetly.

"Never." Kaname said as he ran away. Rido ran after him while Shizuka sighed. "Kaname!" Rido shouted as he took hold of one of Kaname's feet. Kaname tripped and then struggled but Rido made him unconscious.

-With Kain-

Kain and Shiki went to the battered and old castle of the Kiryuu. The location were unknown except for the 7 people that lived in the cottage. "You think he'll keep his promise?" Shiki asked with a blank face. "Maybe, well if he truly did love Zero, he would." Kain said with out hesitation. Shiki just hummed.

They placed Zero on the highest tower and locked him there. No one can get in, no one can get out. They placed a charm around the tower. They wanted Zero safe until Kaname appeared so that he could turn Zero back to who he really was supposed to be...

A Pureblood Hunter and a Pureblood Vampire.
