Chapter 6: Romeo and Juliet

Kaname started to wake up when he found himself bound to the wall with chains. He seemed to be in a dungeon. "Kaname." Rido appeared in front of him and he looks odd for some reason. "What do yoou need." Kaname scowled, he doesn't care anymore. His body feels numb, he can't even feel his arms.

"Your love with the Kiryuu is forbidden that's why we are gonna torture you until you forget all about him." Rido explained with a sick smile. He acted the same way how Shizuka would. "It must be nice using my Uncle's body isn't it, Aunt Shizuka." Kaname said as he spat out blood.

Rido smirked then laughed darkly. "Yes it is~ Kaname~ His body is so strong~" Shizuka's voice came out Rido's mouth. "You... really are the Witch that started the Kuran's curse... *cough*..." Kaname coughed as Rido used his power on Kaname. "Awe~ You found out~" Rido's body said.

"I won't let you love the Kiryuus!" Shizuka said as Kaname felt pain all through his body. He refrained from screaming, he didn't want to give Shizuka the joy of it. "W-why?! *cough*..." Kaname shouted then coughed out blood.

"Because they KILLED MY LOVER! I CAN NOT EVER FORGIVE THEM!" Shizuka screeched as she remembered that day the Kiryuu parents went and killed her lover. It was all to livid like it just happened just yesterday.

"I-I'll NEVER forgive you if you HURT Zero!" Kaname shouted as his face suddenly sported a black eye, and a few cuts and bruises. "Puh~lease~ I won't hurt him. I'll kill him!" Shizuka shouted while Kaname growled.

'Zero... I'm sorry...'

-With Zero-

Many years have passed yet the beauty in the tower remained the same while the others around him aged. An older version of Kain and Shiki removed the charm around the tower. Kain and Shiki brought also an older Sayori who knew ice magic.

They weren't sure if Kaname is still alive but all they could do is preserve Zero's body by placing him in an ice block. "Sayori, can you do it?" Kain asked as Shiki stared at Zero's unchanging appearance. "Do you think that he'll even need it?" Shiki asked as he poked on Zero's cheeks.

"Why do you ask? And stop poking his cheek." Sayori asked as she drew the magic circle. "Look, he didn't even age." Shiki once again poked Zero's cheek again. "He still needs it. We're getting older and when were gone. The ice will block off unwanted people who would harass Zero while Kaname still haven't saved Zero from his slumber." Kain explained as he helped Sayori draw the magic circle.

"You're right..." Shiki said as he stepped away thinking about a certain blond he met years ago, who is missing. Kain did the same though for another blond, who also is missing. Sayori stood up and started chanting.

"Here lies a cursed beauty,

sleeping away until his prince comes,

'till that fateful day comes,

ice shall protect this sleeping beauty."

Sayori chanted as ice grew and surrounded Zero and formed a rose-like shape. While the bottom part have ice slowly separate, forming stems with thorns. Shiki ate a bread. "I think the rose suites Zero." Shiki said while munching on his bread. "What do you mean?" Sayori asked as Kain helped her fix the stuff they used. "Zero is delicate, like a flower, but, untouchable, like a rose full of thorns." Shiki said. "You're right but, there is something wrong with it." Kain said as Shiki raised an eyebrow. "Sometimes Zero would put his guard down to help others, like a rose with out thorns." Kain said as Sayori smiled. "Yeah..." Shiki mumbled. Sayori, Kain, and Shiki stared at Zero's sleeping form one last time, then, they left the place with a charm, but, then charms die along with it's caster.

-With Kaname-

Years passed as Kaname stared a head blankly. Don't be mistaken, he still dearly loves Zero, he just can't escape anymore. Years with out blood made his wounds non-healing and much more painful, but... Years with out Zero hurts for a thousand more, even much more! Years with out Zero kills him from the inside, very, very slowly that it really hurts...

"Kaname~" Shizuka's voice made him cringed. "Kaname, years have passed yet you still love him. Shame on you. You know this is a forbidden love~" Shizuka shooked her head while Kaname smirked.

"Atleast he's still alive unlike your lover." Kaname seemed to have developed a snarky attitude during those years of solitude. Shizuka frowned at the comment. Her anger was boiling. "DON'T YOU DARE SPEAK OF HIM LIKE THAT!" Shizuka screamed as she used Rido's power to make Kaname suffer, though Kaname remained quiet through the whole ordeal. "... *cough* your l-love*cough*... w-was also f-forbidden*vomits blood*... b-but he DIED!" Kaname provoked Shizuka though he was coughing blood and vomiting blood, and it worked. Shizuka went full power, then... it happened.

She accidentally crushed Kaname's heart, therefore slowly making Kaname disappear. Shizuka gasped as she saw this. She didn't mean to kill her nephew. Sure she's angry at him loving a Kiryuu, but, she loves him as her nephew. She shivered as she fell down with a thud. She then shed her tears.

'Zero... My beloved... I... I wish to... see you again... but... it's seems impossible... I'm sorry... I couldn't... couldn't save you...' Kaname thought one last time before he closed his eyes then disappeared completely. Shizuka looked sad as she watched Kaname disappear with out a trace.

-30th Century-

"Kaname-sama, you called?" A blond asked. "What's with the location of the trip?!" A chocolate haired male said. "What's wrong with a little hiking in a moutain?" The blond answered answered. "Why pick a very far mountain?" The chocolate haired male asked as he thought that there wasn't anything interesting on that mountain. "Because it's special..." To you... The blond left the last part unsaid.
