"I...I'm...p-pregnant..." Zero bit his lip looking back down at his mug cocoa as he waited for

Kaname response anxiously.

Kaname was stunned. He wasn't sure what to say. Or what he could say to Zero without hurting

him. And he could tell the silver haired boy was especially sensitive at the moment for obvious

reasons.

Zero looked up seeing Kaname wasn't going to say anything and noted his stunned expression.

He took this as Kaname not wanting to have anything to do with him any more and he stood up

suddenly leaving quickly to find some place to think properly and avoid Kaname yelling at him.

Kaname was shaken out of his thoughts and dazed confusion by the sound of Zero's chair being

pushed back away from the table. He jumped up out of his own seat and tried to follow the other

boy but lost sight of him through the snow now falling from the sky. He sniffed trying to

decipher his scent among the fresh bread, hot cocoa and related scents in the air around him. He

sighed sticking his hands into his coat pockets feeling a wave of guilt wash over him. He hadn't

reacted properly or said anything comforting right away. So of course Zero would take these

reactions as not wanting him around any more. Kaname found the nearest wall and hit his head

against it before going back to Cross Academy to get the headmaster's help.

Zero kept running until he felt his knees give in under him from exhaustion, he grunted landing

face first in the snow. He pulled his knees into himself and shivered uncontrollably as he let

himself sob into the ice cold substance beneath his slender body. Did he do something to deserve

this? If so, what had he done to deserve it? Would Kaname ever except him again? Why would

he except him? His thoughts consumed him again as he layed on his stomach trying to alm

himself down.

Kaname hurried into the Chairman's office to explain what had happened and ask for his

assistance. Once the Chairman complied (which he immediately did after Kaname's explanation)

he rounded up some night students to help look for the day class student before something

happened that was undesirable.

Zero slowly recovered himself enough to pick himself up off the ground, he leaned against a

nearby tree and he ran his hand over his slightly swollen mid section to make sure he was okay.

And especially make sure that the unborn child within was still alive. He wrapped his coat

snuggly around his stomach to keep it warm enough in the freezing weather. He ran his fingers

through his hair as stray tears ran down his somewhat red face, he walked into the woods for

some protection from the heavily falling snow. Zero sniffed and wrapped his arms around

himself to keep warm, he suddenly felt something wrap around his eyes and mouth causing him

to be unable to see who or what was kidnapping him. He struggled best he could as rope was tied

around his wrists and ankles before being thrown into the back of a car.

Kaname lead Aidou and Ruka towards the woods suspecting that Zero would go there to take

cover from the weather. He just prayed that he was alright and safe, but in the back of his mind

he knew that wasn't true. "We need to pick up Zero's scent as fast as possible." Kaname told the other two as they sniffed the air trying their best to pick up any scent that would tell them what

had happened to Zero and where he was.

Aidou opened his eyes smelling what he thought was Zero's scent, "Does Zero's scent smell like

lilac shampoo?"

Kaname jerked his head to Aidou and nodded with a hopeful expression on his concerned face.

"I think he's this way." Aidou hurried off in the direction Zero had walked in.

What Kaname saw next almost made his heart leap out of his throat.

A/N: Okay, one I forgot to mention that the night class are all werewolves too. And two

guess what? Another cliff hanger! I hope you brought your mountain climbing tools ^^
