Chapter 9
In the common room.
Takuma had gathered all the vampires in the common room for Kaname. Kaname's inner circle was sitting together on the sofas in the room. Hanabusa, Akatsuki and Ruka was sitting on one, Senri, Rima and Takuma were sitting on the other all sharing porky, Siren was sitting in the arm chair.
"Takuma, what did Kaname say he wanted to tell us about?" this come from Hanabusa.
"You'll have to be patient Hanabusa. Kaname has already informed me of what he will be announcing, but I'm not telling you exactly what it is, all I can say is Kaname is no longer single." Takuma finished with a cheeky smile.
"WHAT, WHO IS HE WITH!" both Hanabusa and Ruka said at the same time.
"Now, now, calm down Kaname will be here shortly with his partner; if you are both as loyal as you say you are; then you won't reject who Kaname has picked as his partner. Or are you willing to destroy his happiness, for your own selfish reasons?" Takuma had an evil look in this emerald eyes, his voice becoming low and deadly as he said; he looked around the room making sure everyone got the message, before he continued in an excited tone. You just have to look at them to see how much they love and adore one another, it's really sweet." Takuma finished with a blissful tone in his voice, a sparkle in his eyes.
This piqued the other interest; they all wanted to see who Kaname has chosen and to see how they interacted with each other. Although Hanabusa and Ruka weren't sure how to take the news, but they were happy for Kaname. "I would never do anything to jeopardise Kaname happiness, I just want him to be happy." Said a serious looking Hanabusa; this was followed up by Ruka saying. "Kaname happiness means more than my feeling towards him!"
"That's nice of you all; that you feel so strongly for my happiness. I hope you won't end up changing those thoughts once you see who my partner and future husband will be." Kaname showed up at the top of the staircase looking down on them over the railing. He told Zero to wait in the hallway until he called him. The vampires were shocked to see Kaname appear, they were too busy in their conversation to hear him, whereas Hanabusa and Ruka was embarrassed that Kaname had heard them.
"Kaname, I've gathered everyone for you." Takuma said, standing up to face Kaname.
"Thank you Takuma. I'm sure Takuma has informed you all the reason for this gathering. I Kaname Kuran have picked out my partner and mate for life." He looked to his right at Zero and nodded, signalling Zero to come out by his side. Once Zero had stepped out into everyone's view, gasps could be heard around the room and many had shocked faces. Zero and Kaname remand eye contact the whole time. When Zero got to Kaname, he stood on the right of the of him, Kaname wrapped his right arm around Zero waist, pulling him closer, Zero in turn wrapped his left arm around Kaname waist. They smiled at each other.
No one could deny the love they saw in Kaname and Zero eyes when the two looked at each other. It was clear to everyone that they were obviously in love with each other. They had never seen Kaname look so delighted either, sure they saw him smile at Yuki and Cross but that smile was nothing compared to this, this smile he wore now, went all the way to the eyes making the sparkle like little stars in the light. But the most surprising part was Zero was wearing the same expression, love clearing shinning bright in his eyes. They had never even seen him smile before, but now, the hunter looked so happy just to be standing near the pureblood; it was easy to tell he wasn't faking his feelings for Kaname. Knowing that Zero feeling were genuine helped them accepted it better.
The only question what remains now is how this all came about in the first place? The last time Kaname and Zero were seen together, they still hated each other, but it wasn't something they could ask about and would probably never know, but if they had to take a guess it would be something to do with Zero's injured shoulder.
Kaname looked back down towards. "My partner and mate for life, Zero Kiryu. I hope you all treat him accordingly or there will be consequents." His tone turned very serious at the end of his sentence, wine eyes becoming crimson narrowing with a promise of pain if they disobey him; the air around them drops a few degrees.
A series of "Yes, Kaname Sama" was heard. Kaname smiled and returned the temperature back to normal. "Thank you. I will not be attending breakfast today and if for any reason something should happen, while I'm not there, Takuma is in charge, you're all dismissed." Kaname said.
Zero watched the vampire nodded and left the room in order of their status, once they had all left he turned to look at Kaname. "Well, that went a lot better than I thought it would."
"It did go rather well didn't it; even I didn't think it would run so smoothly. We'll just have to see if it was because of shock. Shall we go back to my room for a bit?
"That sounds like a good idea. We still have a while before we have to go to dinner". Zero took hold of Kaname hand and walked back toward the direction of Kaname room.
They walked hand-in-hand up to Kaname room. Once they were inside, they went and sat down together on Kaname sofa. Zero was the first to break the silence, taking a deep breath he said "I want to tell you about something what happened when I was younger, I've never been able to tell anyone this, but I think with you it'll be alright."
Kaname looked at Zero not expecting Zero to ask him that, so it came as a shock for him but he recovered quite quickly. "Only if you want to tell me Zero, there isn't any rush."
"I want to tell you Kaname, I've never told anyone before, not even mum knows all the details, so it's nice to finally tell someone the truth, I trust you and I want you to know." Zero said a little unsure of himself, Kaname on the other hand was overcome with happiness. He trust the that much? With something has never told anyone else, including his Mum. That means so much, I can't even put into words how much this means to me.
"Zero, love. You'll never know how much those words mean to me. To know that you trust me that much." Zero looked away from Kaname in embarrassment.
"Well, you know about 'The Curse Twins' don't you?" when Kaname nodded, he continued. "Hunters aren't supposed to have twins because they will fight for power, this can go in 3 different ways either they will die leaving both of them to become still born. Another way is the stronger twin consumes the other, killing the weaker twin and be born one of the strongest vampire hunters. In the rarer cases the stronger twin will consume part of other in the womb. If both survive, one will be very strong while the other will generally be sickly and weak."
"That's what I've heard about the hunter curse too, it seems to be a rather complicated curse." Kaname added thoughtfully.
"That's true, but with Ichiru and me it didn't happen that way, because mum put a spell on us, so instead of taking power from each other, we took power from mum instead. After we was born mum was really ill and everyone thought he was going to die. Dad told us that when mum held both Ichiru and I, gave him his energy back so he could live….. The truth is we gave him most of our hunter abilities, but by doing that, it activated the vampire blood that every hunter has in them, so we developed vampire powers. I have the power to control plants, whereas Ichiru has the power to control water. Mum thought it would be a disaster if the hunter association found out, as we would either be killed or experiment on, so mum lied to the president and told him we were is sister children, he also said that they only wanted master Yagari to train us, so we would have a 'normal' childhood, he also said he was going to build a school to prove that Vampires and humans to coexist. The President said he would only let Mum build this school, if he didn't live with us and showed dedication to the school." Zero took a deep breath, knowing what he was about to tell Kaname was going to be really hard. Kaname saw Zero preparing himself, so rubbed Zero back in a comforting way, hoping to get the hunter some support.
"Mum was allowed to visit us so it wasn't too bad, but when we were about 9 we weren't allowed to go out the house anymore and mum didn't come to us that much, we thought it was because he had Yuki. We didn't understand at the time, we thought he just replaced us, and dad and our auntie were too busy with the hunter association, so we didn't see much of them either. It was hard, we thought our own mother, father and auntie didn't want us anymore, so we shut everyone else out apart each other. Our dad and aunt tried to talk to us be we wouldn't speak, when mum did come to visit us, we didn't acknowledge him. After about a year we decided to leave our house, we didn't tell anyone because we didn't think they would care. We went to the park where we meet Shizuka, she convinced us to take her back to our house, she told us she knew our dad and auntie, so we took her, we knew she was a pureblood, but we didn't know anything about pureblood apart from they are the most powerful vampires."
Zero shut his eyes for a few seconds and when he opened them, Kaname could see tears starting to form. Kaname Knew Zero was going to tell him about what happened 'that' night and he knew he wouldn't be able to stop the pain Zero was going to feel when he told him. He knew he was going to need to be strong for Zero because he knew just how hard this was going to be, as he still found it hard to remember his parents' murder. He pulled Zero closer to him, making sure Zero felt safe and loved so he relaxed more. He was just about to tell Zero he didn't need to tell him anymore if he wasn't ready, but Zero continued speaking before he got the chance.
"When we got home, we let the barrier down around our house. It was only until our dad told us to get away, did we know that we had made a terrible mistake, it was the first time I saw him looking so scared; Shizuka took advantage of us being shocked and grabbed me, she held me tightly so I couldn't escape and she…. She bite me. I can see remember the look in my dad and auntie's face when they saw what happened. I told Ichiru to run and get master Yagari as he didn't live that far away, he did as I asked, but… I got made to watch her kill my dad and aunt. She left just before Ichiru and Yagari arrived, it wasn't long before Mum got there. Yagari took Ichiru to his house, while Mum took me back to his. It took me a couple of months before I started talking again, it was our fault they died." Zero looked at Kaname tears falling rapidly down his cheeks, the memories from the night was flashing through his mind and all his emotions he had concealed over the years, come back making emotionally unstable. He turned so he was fully looking into Kaname concerned wine eyes.
He began to speak again, but his voice was only a whisper. "It was only until after their deaths did we realise, why we weren't allowed out and why Mum didn't visit as much; it wasn't because they didn't care, it was because they wanted to protect us and we…..We….They died because of us Kaname! Died…. If we just listen to them, they might have still alive today… And then yesterday, I went and tried to commit suicide, you should have seen Mum's face Kaname, I hurt him again, all I ever do if hurt the people I love, hell I even hurt you, how can you still be around me, knowing that I basically killed my own family?" Zero was crying hysterically when he finally finished, this was the first time telling someone everything and he became emotionally overwhelmed, mainly because of the guilt he felt and finally being able to tell someone.
Kaname crossed his legs and brought Zero into his lap (like you would if you were holding a child), placing Zero so his injured shoulder didn't have any pressure on it, Zeros' head was on his chest. He started rocking the boy gentle in his arms and making 'shh-ing' sounds to calm Zero down, it was hard seeing Zero like this, but he knew Zero needed to let his feeling out. When Zero had calmed down a bit Kaname began speaking in a calming tone. "It wasn't yours or Ichiru fault, okay? The ONLY person to blame is Shizuka, as she killed them Zero, NOT you. What you did was understandable you were only a child. You DIDN'T know the risks. I'm sure if you knew about the situation of why you or Ichiru wasn't allowed to leave your house or why Cross didn't visit you anymore, both of you wouldn't have felt neglected. But most of all you are still loved, nothing will ever change that, I don't blame you Zero and I'm sure Cross doesn't either. I still love you okay? So calm down its going to be alright."
It felt like hours had gone by but the time Zero had calmed completely down, but it had in fact only been a couple of minutes. When Zero finally opened his eyes and looked at Kaname, he was glad to see the look of love still in Kaname's eyes, knowing that Kaname didn't feel any differently about him made him feel as if a huge weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
"Thank you Kaname. For understanding, it means a lot."
"It's okay Zero, I'm always here if you ever need to talk."
"Thanks, and the same goes for you too, you know, if you ever need to talk."
"Of course Zero, But I would be lying if I said I wasn't interested in seeing your vampire abilities, but you can show me another time" Zero smiled cheekily at Kaname. "I should have known you was paying extra attention to that little detail." He laughed when he saw Kaname panic for a second, because he though Zero was mad at him, it was only until Zero laughed he then realised that Zero was joking. "Zero, you're awfully cheeky when you want to be." Before Zero had the chance to defend himself his lips were covered by Kaname's. He was shocked, but quickly recovered and started to kiss Kaname back. Zero sat up moving so he was now straddling Kaname, wrapping his left arm around Kaname neck. Kaname in turn, wrapped his left arm around Zero's waist and put is right hand at the nape of Zero's neck puling Zero closer in a deeper kiss.
Unfortunately for them, there was a knock at Kaname door. Remembering that people had the tendency to just open doors, they pulled away from each other. Recalling that he had been crying Zero said "why don't you go answer the door, while I quickly go wash my face?" Zero left the room, to go into Kaname's bedroom and then into the on suite bathroom. Seriously, this is more like a freaking apartment than a dorm room, he even had his own study, But I'm not going to be jealous, I'm just going to take every opportunity to come over here and use Kaname things.
Kaname went to open his door, only to find his inner circle standing there, he looked at Takuma to find out what was going on. Takuma to the queue to start talking, he was going to comment on Kaname kiss swollen lips, but changed his mind at the last second. "Hello again Kaname! We're he because we wanted to personally congratulate you and Zero, plus this is the result of the next batch of blood tablets, what arrived yesterday." Takuma wave a piece of paper in front of Kaname, making Kaname took it, before looking around the room trying to locate Zero. "Nee, Kaname where has Zero gone? He hasn't left already has he?"
Kaname did a quick glance at the paper before looking up at Takuma, he was just about to inform the over hyper blonde that Zero had been just in the other room, but Zero had walked into the room, right after Takuma had finished asking the question.
"Zero just the person we were looking for, we come to congratulate Kaname and you." Zero looked at Kaname and then looked back at Takuma and the others. "Um… Thank you?" Zero really wasn't sure how to react.
Kaname moved back, letting his inner circle into is room. He walked over to Zero, while the others sat down in Kaname sofa's. Takuma, Senri, Rima and Seiren sat in one, while Akatsuki, Ruka and Hanabusa sat in the other. Kaname and Zero shared an arm chair together, the chair was big enough for them to both sit down, without sitting on each other. Zero was sitting on Kaname right, so he wouldn't put any pressure on his shoulder. Kaname wrapped his right arm around Zero waist, and his left hand moved so he was stroking Zero left hand.
"You two look good together." Takuma smiled at both of, them, the others nodded in agreement. Zero blushed and moved closer to Kaname. Kaname look at Zero when he felt his boyfriend moving closer to him, he looked back to Takuma. "Thank you Takuma, that's nice of you to say."
"Oh, you're welcome. Have you already told headmaster Cross and Yuki that you two are together Zero?" hearing his name being called, and Kaname inner circle looking at him, he gave a quick glance at his boyfriend before looking at Takuma. "I..um yeah, well he kinda walked in on us hugging together on my bed …. And Yuki walked in on us kissing so….." after he realised what he said he avoided eye contact with everyone; he looked down using his fringe to cover his face.
Takuma smiled at Zero shyness, it was refreshing to see this side of Zero. Feeling his cheeky side getting the better of him, he said "Oh, it's was like how I found out about you two, seeing as I walk in on you two kissing earlier, really it was quite shocking when I first saw you, so I can only image what they felt, but knowing them they were probably over the moon." This only brought a bigger blush to Zero face.
Even though Kaname like seeing Zero blush, he decided to 'help' Zero out of his misery. "You have no idea Takuma". Takuma recognised that Kaname had a warning in his tone of voice, he decided it was best to stop teasing Zero, so he change the topic. "I'm so happy we have a real life seme and uke relationship, just like my manga." You could see, hearts in his eye.
Zero found Takuma embarrassing, he wasn't used to people talking to him in a joking way apart from his family, so he was finding it awkward . God this is so embarrassing I don't, know what to say, What's a seme and uke anyway.
"Takuma is manga all you can think about? It's clear to see who's the seme and uke in their relationship anyway. Kaname is obviously the seme, whereas Zero the uke." Hanabusa said in a matter of fact voice to which everyone nodded in agreement. Zero looked confused, didn't understand what they were on about, so he turned to look at Kaname. "Kaname?" he said in an unsure tone.
Kaname looked at Zero, and saw Zero looked of confused. "Yes Zero, is something the matter?" He asked in a concern voice. Zero blushed slightly, felt stupid for not knowing something, but figured that Kaname wouldn't judge him and seeing as the others were having a debate about who they thought was the seme and uke in their relationship, Zero decided to ask.
"Umm what are they talking about, why are they on about which one of us is a seme and uke…"Kaname looked at Zero, he was trying to work out why Zero was asking, but before he had a chance to say anything Zero said something that shocked him.
"what are a seme and a uke anyway? I've never heard of it before." Kaname inner circle stopped talking about who they thought was which, when he heard Zero question, they all looked at him. as did Kaname they were all clearly shocked. Zero didn't understanding why they had stopped talking and was looking at him, he tilted his head to the side in confusion. "Why have you all stopped? Did I say something strange?"
"Do you really not know what a seme and a uke mean?" This was said by Hanabusa, they were stunned at how innocent Zero was. "Yeah, I never heard of it before. What does it mean?" Zero was getting more confused. Why do they look so shocked because I didn't know, what those words mean? This is just making me more curious.
"Don't worry about it Zero, I'll tell you later" Kaname said quickly before anyone else could say anything; he didn't want Zero to find out what those words mean in this situation, he'll tell Zero later when it was just the two of them, so Zero didn't get freaked out.
"What? Why? Why can't you tell me now? Is it something bad? Don't I deserve to know?" Zero was a hurt that Kaname wouldn't tell him, it wasn't easy to admit he didn't know something and now Kaname was treating him like a child. Even though Zero tried to keep the hurt from is voice, Kaname could still hear it and he could see it in Zero's lilac eyes. Zero move away from Kaname, he was starting to think that maybe Kaname did judge him, so he put his guard back up, his usual self-came back.
Kaname saw Zero was shutting him out and he started to internally panic. I didn't think me not telling him would hurt his feelings this much. How could I forget how sensitive Zero is at the moment. I don't want him to start shutting me out again, I need to make him understand that I didn't mean it as an insult when I said I would tell him later. "It's not like that Zero. I didn't mean to offend you" Kaname said, his eyes pleading for Zero to understand, he didn't want to upset Zero.
Luckily for him Takuma was there and being the very observant person he is, he noticed that Zero felt hurt because Kaname wouldn't tell him now, so he deciding to help, even though Kaname had said he would tell Zero later it would be better for them both of them if Zero knew now. "Kaname's right Zero. He isn't trying to hurt your feelings, a seme is basically the more dormant one in the relationship, whereas the uke is the more submission, but it mainly when the same sex couple is having intercourse." Takuma was sure he worded it in a way, so Zero wouldn't be offended; he watched as Zero comprehend what he just told him.
Zero blinked blankly at Takuma, his head tilted to the side slightly more; he blushed when he realized exactly what Takuma said. "So…. A seme and a uke is basically who the dominant and submissive one during sexual intercourse?" if they were stunned earlier, that was nothing compared to how astounded at how innocent Zero had sounded. "Yes Zero. That pretty much sums up what the words mean" Kaname said, still slightly shocked at Zero's innocent.
"Oh, but why are you talking about which one of us is which, that's rather peculiar, isn't it?" Zero looked at them; he had a feeling that he shouldn't have started this conversation, but seeing as he already had he might as well continue it. "That because they're just curious, but I do think we need to have a talk Zero, to educate you on some things, it seems that the chairman has given you a very sheltered life."
"Really? Well, Kaien does make me help him instead of going to class, but I did finish all my education all the way up to university level, when I was 9, so I didn't think I was missing much" Zero said maybe I shouldn't skip classes so much.
"That isn't the kind of education I was on about; I was talking about sexual education. You must have been really high-quality educated to get to that level of education at such a young age."
"Oh, okay. I am educated on some parts sexual education, but just not really the slag words of it and I think I was in hospital when they were giving the lesson in class." Zero said not really thinking through what he said. "You were in hospital?" Kaname said he was upset that he wasn't informed about Zero being in hospital.
"Yeah, I have to go every 6 months for a check-up"
"I hope you don't mind me asking, but why do you need to go to the hospital so much?" asked Takuma, he had seen Kaname was upset for not knowing about Zero being in hospital. Zero looked at Kaname first when he noticed the pureblood seem sadden, then turn his attention back to Takuma to answer his question. I thought mum had told Kaname about my health when I was younger, that's why he didn't mention it earlier. (when he was talking about his childhood).
"I don't mind. In case none of you know, I'll start from the beginning; male hunters can in fact get pregnant. It is very rare, but it does happen, I and my twin brother just happen to be one of those 'rare ones' that can get pregnant. The reason why I have to go to the hospital so much is because they need to check up on my hormone levels and various other things, as I have to take 'the pill' otherwise I will experience my own version of having a period once a month, but with me being a boy makes it different from girl's period. Instead of bleeding once a month, I faint, throw up blood, have memory loss or in rare cases I'll go into a coma for a week…..oh and if I ever have sex with another boy, I'll get pregnant straight away, which remind me." Zero turned his head and looked into Kaname eyes "when we have sex you'll be wearing a condom no matter what, there is no way I am becoming a mother at the age of 17…. Oh, and mum would also kill you for getting me pregnant this young." Zero finished with a slight glare at Kaname to get his point a crossed. It would have been one of Zero's most scariest glares if it was for is reddening cheeks. Kaname was trying not to laugh at Zero, but lucky for him (and unlucky for Zero) Hanabusa had caught Zero slip up.
"I didn't know you had a twin, I didn't think hunter could because of the curse? Who's the older one and where is he? And what do you mean your mum would kill Kaname? I thought she said dead?" Hanabusa said, getting a bit excited that he knew a hunter who is a twin, that was so rare and for them to be able to get pregnant was even rarer, for a scientist like him it was exciting, but he was also confused as to why Zero would bring up his mother.
Zero realised that he had brought up his mum again. I went years without ever mention mum, and now I have accidentally said it twice in the space of 24 hours. Great going Zero. Kaname saw Zero distress look and then the look of confusing on the others faces. "Zero, if you want to tell them you can, they're all completely trustworthy, buts it's completely up to you." The pure blood whispered in Zero ear, making sure Zero would be the only one to hear (seeing as they was in a room with vampires, who happen to have impeccable hearing) pulling back to look into Zero's eyes after he'd finished his sentence. The hunter looked at Kaname the sighed softly and looked at the curious and confused faces in the room before answering.
Well, if Kaname said they're trustworthy, then I might as well tell them. Who knows, it may come in my favour when they find out I'm the chairmen biological son.
"To answer your questions; the curse twin doesn't affect us because of a spell put on us by our mum when we was born. " He let go of Kaname hand to move is sling of his wrist to reveal an angel winged tattoo on his inner wrist, "We both had this spell mark on our inner wrist; and to answer your other questions, I'm the eldest out of the two of us and I believe Ichiru is currently living in England or Ireland I can't really remember which, but he wanted to travel the world, so mum had sent one of his friends, our old master to go with him and to act as his guardian also to keep him safe while he's away, he should be coming back in time for Christmas so you'll probably meet him at some stage and my mum is alive."
This last piece of information Zero had given they had shocked them all, apart from Kaname who already knew, as far as they were told both Zero's parents had died, so this came as a big surprise for them.
"But…But I thought both your parents had died? Where is your mother shouldn't she be here to support you?" This was said by Hanabusa as he was the first one to recover from his shock.
Zero could help but give a little smirk. "I do live with my mother and HE is very supportive."
"Wait, are you saying your mother is a male and you live with him? The only man you live with is the chairmen, isn't it? Also who was the women who died 'that night'?" This was said by Rima.
"You are correct in thinking the chairmen is the only man I live with. He is my biological mother, but I didn't live with him when I was younger. I lived with my auntie and my dad, as you know mum wanted to make a school for vampires and humans, so he could prove that they can co-exist, but to build this school came as a price. The hunter association would only let him build this school IF he showed dedication, in order to do that they made him have an ultimatum. Build a school for vampire and humans or leave me and my brother with his sister and my father until he was finished the school, it also meant he was only allowed to see us 5 times a year. The hunter association doesn't even know Kaien is my mother and if they found out we would have been put through loads of experiments, in order to keep us save he agree to the ultimatum to build the school as he believed it was the only way to keep us safe. Plus, it would've come across suspicious if he refused after talking so passionately about the school and getting all the necessary documents to build the school to then just give it up, they would never take him seriously again if he just gave his dream up." Zero finished with a far off look in his eyes, his voice held no emotions, it was almost as if he became a living doll.
The vampire shared a concerned look between them when Zero had finished talking, they found it hard to believe that the chairman would pick building this school over his own family. Kaname pulled Zero towards him trying to 'wake' him up. "Zero, are you okay?" Hearing Kaname voice brought him back from his memories, he gave Kaname a reassuring smile before continuing. "I'm fine. I was just remembering something, before you judge mum you should think about how dangerous it was before this school was established, I understand why he did what he did and I honestly don't blame him, I'm glad he did it. Besides, it wasn't like we didn't get to see him, so it wasn't that bad. He was allowed to live with us until we were 5 years old while he finalised everything, so we did understand what was happening at the time and he asked for Ichiru and my opinion before he agreed, we were the ones who told him to do it and we help with most of the designs of the school. We knew he didn't want to just build this school for selfish reason but to help make the world a better and safer place for everyone. Plus, no one could know he was our mother as it would put us in even more danger, not that it made much difference in the end…. " Zero finished making sure they all know that Ichiru and him was the ones to have the final say in it and they let Kaien build this school, because not only could Ichiru and him see how much it meant to their mother, he also wanted to have a future where the wasn't anymore wars and knew it was the meant to have kept them save.
"That must have been hard though. Not being able to see your mother and lying to others in order keep yourself safe, it sounds like a very stressful childhood if you ask me, but I also don't understand why having people know Cross is your mother would put you in such a dangerous situation even with the hunter association" Senri said after a few seconds had gone by.
Zero thought about it for a moment before looking at Senri and answering "I suppose it was in a way but that was expected of us. Plus, Ichiru and I was always together and we weren't allowed outside as it was too dangerous so we never saw anyone to accidently tell them the truth, so in a way it didn't really matter. And to answer your other question…..well the Cross and Kiryu are the strongest vampire hunter lines, which would make their children one of the strongest hunters to be born, but seeing as our 'mother' is in fact a male it makes things a little complicated… I have powers of not only a vampire hunter but that of a pureblood and if I wanted to I could be become a pureblood…" by the end Zero had finished talking his voice had turned into a whisper and he lowered his eyes and waited for the reaction of the others, he hadn't even told Kaname that he could he turned into a pureblood.
There was a few "WHAT" and gasps that went around the room and Zero look at them and saw that they wanted to know, but Zero was done with being 'open', his emotions was getting the better of him again and he was beginning to feel overwhelmed by all the feelings he felt, and he didn't feel like talk about it any longer. Lucky for him Kaname notice that Zero was becoming reluctant to talk anymore, so he quickly took charge of the situation before any more questions could be asked even though he himself was very curious.
"I think that's enough for now, Zero needs his rest and he was kind enough to share such personal information with all of us, epically as not everyone here has been on the best of terms with Zero in the past. Plus, we still got to see Cross and get your medicine." Kaname looked around the room making sure everyone got the message, Zero on the other hand was relieved to hear Kaname tell the others to stop, but it soon turned into a pout as he heard the word medicine. Kaname looked at Zero and saw he face and was contemplating whether kissing Zero would be a good idea or not, but notice Takuma was getting the others up and ready to leave. Once everyone was up and about to leave Kaname spoke in a stern voice a treat was clearly.
"No one is allowed to speak of what Zero has told you. Not even to each other, I hope you all are aware of the repercussions of what will happen if anyone dares to speak a word of it." His eyes glowing red making sure they knew the dangers of disobeying him would mean.
A series of "yes Kaname Sama" was heard before they quickly left the room slightly fearing of their lives and the damage Kaname could do when angry.
Once his inner circle was gone and the door had long since been close, did Kaname turn his full attention to Zero. Kaname was immediately concerned as Zero had drawn into himself again and looked like a vacant doll again.
"Zero honey, are you okay? You can talk to me; I promise I won't judge. Please don't close me off." Kaname voice held slight pleading to it, concern and love filled his eyes. Zero looked to Kaname after hearing his name called and the tone of voice his love use.
"I'm fine Kaname…. It just I've never told anyone about me childhood and it feels like a big weight has been lifted…. I've spent nearly my whole life being told what I could and couldn't say and do….. I guess I'm just not used to talking about my life and my feeling and now… it feels like a dam has been broken and I'm just so overwhelmed with all the feelings what I have keep at bay for so long…I shouldn't have even told them most of what I did…*hick*….i don't know what made me so honest….I….." Zero started crying half way through talking but he had gone into hysteria again and Kaname brought Zero into in lap, tucking Zero head into the side his neck and started swaying them slightly making his aura wrap around Zero in a loving, supporting and understanding way.
It took about 10 minutes for Zero to get himself completely under control and his breathing stable. He slowly leaned back to look at Kaname.
"I'm so sorry Kaname. I don't know what's happened to me and never this emotional. God this is so embarrassing."
"it's okay Zero, you're just overwhelm at the moment, it'll be okay. Besides crying doesn't make you weak, it just means you've been strong for too long. So don't beat yourself up over it; I'm not going to leave you. I'm going to help you get through whatever this is. Okay? You. Are. Not. Alone."
Zero smile at Kaname after hearing this, he was so glad his boyfriend was so understanding and patient with him and clearly his was his normal self at the moment. "Thank you Kaname, that was exactly what I need to hear."
"I'm glad I could be of some assistance to you. Now I do believe we should go and see that mother of yours before he come and accuses me of kidnaping his beloved son." Kaname smirked when saw Zero unimpressed face.
"ha-ha, so funny Kaname…. Not, but I we really should be going before he starts freaking out that something has happened to me…. I wouldn't blame him for worrying considering recent events."
Kaname could see Zero taking a depressing turn again, so he gentle took face in his hands and planted a loving kiss on Zero lips. Zero was taking back for a second then closed his eyes and returned the kiss. The kiss itself was a slow, gentle, loving and understanding kiss; it lasted a couple of minutes before they slowing pulled apart their eyes gently fluttered open. Lilac eyes met Wine and vice versa love and affection shining brightly in both sets of eyes.
"I love you Zero, so stop with the depressing thoughts. You are loved and wanted and I'll make it my job to reminded you every minute of every day for the rest of our lives if I have to. Okay?". He gave Zero another kiss before waiting for Zero reply.
Zero pulled away from Kaname after a second. "You're too good for me Kaname, but I'm glad you're still with me. I really don't know what you see in me, but thank you for always being there, even when we weren't exactly 'friends'… I love you"
Kaname smiled he was delighted that Zero was happy they are together.
"I will always be with you Zero, but I think you under value yourself I don't think you realise just how much of an amazing person you are; you've been through so many hard experiences in your life and still manage to cope with them on your own for so long. I'm proud of you Zero, you help people without even knowing it…*sigh*…. I could go on, but we really must be going, I fear Cross really will send a search party out for us if we don't turn up soon."
Zero hugged Kaname so the pureblood didn't see him blush. "I think mum really would do something like that…... well it certainly wouldn't be the first time he has called a search party to find me."
Zero got up and moved towards their coats with Kaname walking behind him, Kaname help Zero put on his coat (making sure Zero was wearing his sling) then proceeded to put his own on. Once they were both in their shoes Kaname turned to look a Zero.
"Are you ready to go, darling?" Zero blushed slightly and nodded.
"Okay then, let's go" Kaname took Zero left hand in his right and intertwined their fingers, he smiled softly at Zero as they left Kaname room and made their way to Cross house.
Hello darling,
I'm so sorry for the late update, my life has just been so hectic recently and I got really ill and was put it to hospital (I only just got released on Wednesday). Anyway there is going to be a Christmas chapter soon (I know it's a little late, since Christmas was 2 months ago, but my story needs it so it must be done). Again, I'm so sorry for the long wait, I made it extra-long so but I hope it was worth it! If you have any ideas of your own and want me to incorporate it in my story or you need me to explain anything just PM me and I'll try my best.
I've also re-write my other chapters as well and made some of them longer, so I advise you to read them again; the story should (hopefully) a flow better and be easier to read.
As always thanks for reading and please review they mean a lot :)
