Chapter 3

Confessions I

Kaitou was cleaning the house. He was cursing Cross Kaien every second. His misery was all that old fart's fault. Just because of some stupid letter he has to do laundry, cook food, mow the lawns, water the plants, and sweep the house mop around for two fucking weeks.

Yagari was annoying as hell as well. He used to sit and laugh with that blasted Cross. Kaitou was so going to make both of them pay for this. Kaitou didn't know his wish would be fulfilled very soon.

Yagari came to the house suddenly. He threw his hat carelessly across the house at his leisure. Suddenly a loud crashing sound came. Kaitou looked from where the sound came and his heart stopped beating. God he was so dead.

On the floor was lying the ornate frame. The frame contained the prized photograph of Haruka and cross Kaien smiling. The image was broken in shards of mirror. The photo was destroyed.

Kaitou saw Yagari who was smoking.

Kaitou," you bastard what have you done?"

Yagari," huh you should learn manners kid, just who are you calling bastard?"

Kaitou," you broke it you dumb fuck, look on the floor beside the cabinet."

Yagari saw and he was scared.

Cross happily came down. He had seen a very pleasant dream where Haruka and he were eating ice cream in a parlour and Juri was sitting with Kaname cursing them, it was all very funny.

Cross saw something on floor and went down to it. His happy memory quickly went with the wind. He saw his and Haruka's photo lying on the floor in shards. Cross just had one thought: Kaitou you are dead!

Cross saw Kaitou fighting with Yagari. Cross looked back and saw Yagari's hat lying beside the broken shards of glass. Wait was it Yagari's funeral then?

Cross," Kaitou what happened? "

Kaitou was scared. "I didn't do anything, I am really speaking the truth, and it was his blasted hat that did this."

Yagari knew he was caught. "come on its just a photo, I'll buy you a new frame."

Cross snapped," what are you saying, it's just a photo, to me it's my life, the memory with my beloved Haruka, it's broken, are you blind in both eyes bastard, you dare lie to me? "

Yagari was now feeling guilty. Cross was actually crying. Suddenly Cross was standing with a baseball bat. Yagari was scared.

Yagari," Kaien don't be rash, I said I was sorry I'll go apologise to Haruka."

Cross," you'll do much more, you will now become the cleaner. Kaitou will be reduced to gardening and cooking, you Yagari will do everything for a month and don't tell me about your hunter duties, I'll go to them."

Yagari ran from the house in his car to Haruka's place shouting about lunatics.

Yagari was so sorry he had laughed at Kaitou. Kaitou was all happy smiles. Finally sweet freedom. He was so going to a five star hotel for dinner alone tonight. He followed Yagari with Kaien to Haruka's place.

Haruka and Juri had planned to go out of the house for some work. Juri had to go for grocery shopping, Haruka somewhere else. They were both worried since Kaname's behaviour was very strange and depressing these days. He was quiet a lot more than usual and seemed deep in thought. They could somehow make out something was bothering their dear Kaname.

At afternoon Yagari reached the house, his luck Haruka was coming out of house with Juri. Juri looked scary seeing Yagari there.

Yagari," you….. Please save me, he'll kill me."

Yagari was breathless, there were bruises on his knees and hands courtesy of Kaien, his leather book and baseball bat.

Juri," what happened to you?"

Suddenly cross Kaien and Kaitou came.

Kaien, "my dear Haruka I am so sorry, only my bleeding heart knows how sorry I am."

Juri, "huh."

Haruka thought he heard something burning. Juri was going to crack soon.

Haruka," ha ha what happened, why is Yagari bruised?"

Kaien, "because he did the gravest sin."

Yagari, "what? I just broke a blasted photo."

Juri, "oh do tell me it's my husband's and this hunter's photograph."

Yagari," you are right."

Juri was now very happy. She and Kaitou high-fives and enjoyed themselves. Yagari was very angry. Haruka was consoling cross. Juri was thinking she'll make a splendid dinner in celebration. She kissed Kaitou on cheek and went to buy groceries throwing daggers at cross. Haruka just smiled at his helplessness.

When they reached cross's house Yagari was slapped since he went and didn't even apologise. If Yagari wasn't guilty, cross would be in a graveyard for such humiliation. Kaitou was still enjoying himself.

Back to Kuran mansion.

Kaname was watching anime today. He was watching Inuyasha. But he wasn't able to process anything. His concentration was on Zero. He was hurt by his comment. But maybe he acted a little coldly. He knew Zero and Ruca were engaged. Why did he felt like killing all of Zero's admirers? Zero was his.

Kaname blushed at this thought. Did he love Zero? Love, well he cared for him. Got hurt by his rejection, Zero's charming self -allured Kaname to him but even if he did, did Zero love him?

Suddenly Kaname saw an image of him and Zero in white tuxedos with flowers roses, lilies and iris. They were kissing and were happy with each other. But the scene was interrupted.

Kaname snapped out of his reverie. What was that that interrupted it was all red. It was scary.

Kaname decided if he loved Zero he will try to be nice to him, even if he couldn't have Zero he can still love him. Kaname teleported himself to a big shopping place it was still afternoon.

He remembered Aidou's warning very well. How he couldn't he was his dear friend, Yuuki had come as well. She and Aidou had begged Kaname and his parents to not leave the house.

Kurans quieted down the two Aidous. Kaname promised Juri to not go for any more nature crap. Haruka and Kaname had gone through the scans sent by cross and sent Rido kiryu a copy.

Haruka and Kaname had decided it was best to leave this to his capable hands. Rido had thanked them and said he will look through them. Kaname still had some suspicions about these deaths and murders. It was all so very peculiar and intriguing.

Kaname went and looked through Armani and Versace. He didn't know what Zero liked. He had decided to buy a gift for him as an apology for saying those words to him. He saw a bright red button down shirt. He liked it. He bought it. He got another white button down shirt then left the store after getting it covered in lavish red and silver wrapping. Kaname teleported himself to his home.

He went to eat some ice cream. He saw a note that said Juri had gone to buy groceries and Haruka had gone to buy some good novels.

Kaname dug some cream and cookies ice cream and went to eat it. He was in his room. Suddenly he heard a voice of window opening. Before he could see who it was he was tackled to the marble white floor by someone. He saw a flash of silver. It was Zero.

In college Zero's thoughts

Zero was in utter distress that Kaname had skipped college that day. It had been two days since Zero saw Kaname. He was annoyed. The hell with everything. He did not care or loved anyone except for Kaname. He will make Kaname see it.

He had stopped Aidou and asked for Kaname's house direction. He had teleported himself to the place. He sensed Kaname's scent. That exquisite floral and enchanting scent from a bedroom. He decided to go through the window.

He had climbed a tree and saw his love Kaname about to eat something. His eyes caught a beautiful silver, red wrapping on bedcover. He was immediately jealous, who was it that Kaname got this for. Maybe his parents. Maybe it was their anniversary or something.

But now all the more he had to know who it was for. He knew Kaname didn't care for anyone. Wait was it for that human brat Yuuki or for that buffoon Aidou.

At this thought Zero was ticked. He was extremely jealous. He will throw it in a river if it was true even if he had to fight Kaname. He will not let anyone get a present from his Kaname.

Thoughts end.

Zero was on top of Kaname. Zero just had one thought. He is so beautiful. I love him so much, he's the only one. Zero got up and sat on bed.

Kaname," what the hell, are you mad, couldn't you ring the doorbell, you ruined my ice cream you stupid idiot."

Zero was just smirking," yup mad for you my darling, forget the ice cream let me eat you."

Kaname blushed at this. He ran from the room to the hall. Zero followed him thinking how cute. Kaname stood in front of the main door and zero was again sitting on couch.

Kaname," I told you before I am not one of your playthings Kiryu, do not ever come to my house again. Get out."

Kaname was happy Zero had come, but hurt when he thought that he wasn't special. Maybe Zero was like this to everyone. His heart was aching. He couldn't find it in his heart to give the present. Who knew whether Zero will just throw it away laughing with his fan club?

It will kill Kaname if something like that happened. He now realised he loves Zero. He felt bad for leaving him alone, his jealousy, his desire to love him was increasing by second. The person who once didn't understood love and only saw his parents as ideal pair now knew what love was. But did it hurt just like this?

Zero grew serious he grabbed Kaname and pulled him underneath him on couch.

Kaname," kiryu stop this nonsense, you are hurting me, let go."

Zero, "no not before I hear your answer who is that present for?"

Zero's eyes were glowing red. His normal colour vanished. He knew why Kaname was saying those things, his disgusting attitude was finally being paid back to him.

Kaname hated him. It hurt. It was like seeing his dead mother leaving him again. He will not let that happen again. His mother stopped him last time but this time Zero will lock himself and Kaname as well with him if his love wasn't returned.

Kaname's heart was beating very fast. Zero was pressed to him. Kaname was entranced by the silver haired beauty. He could feel the blush covering his cheeks.

Kaname, "none of your concern kiryu. It has nothing to do to with you. "

Zero," oh on the contrary it has everything to do with me."

Zero's thought the one I love with all of my being is you, dammit Kaname can't you see that?

"Is it for that human wench Yuuki or for that dunderhead Aidou?" Zero as shouting. He will hurt them if it was true.

Kaname," what, why will I get them presents, the one it is for is the one who always hurts me and like a fool I got the present for you Zero."

Kaname stopped speaking when he realised in his anguish he told Zero the present was for him.

Kaname kicked Zero in his you know where and tried to run but for dear Kaname Zero recovered very quickly and pulled Kaname in a hug.

Zero was on top of moon and Kaname wanted to dive in an ocean after confessing to Zero.

Zero hugged Kaname from behind and licked his neck. Moan was heard from Kaname. What the hell was Zero doing, he was licking his neck that's so gross. Eww. But why did it feel so good to see Zero his first and last love for eternity doing this to him. Instead of feeling disgust, pleasure waves shot through him.

Zero," Kaname is it true, is that for me, did you mean that, do you love me?"

Kaname turned around and saw purple eyes looking at him with love. He couldn't stop himself, he loves zero too much, it hurts and makes him happy at the same time.

Kaname," yes even though I don't know why, you are a playboy, you are a freak, you are an insensitive bastard, but yeah I still love you."

Zero embraced Kaname. He dug his face in his neck. Kaname's scent was intoxicating like rivers, waterfalls amidst flowers. Zero felt as if he was drugged.

Maybe he was right. Kaname was the one who could save him. All his facades and masks will go away. He will stop doing everything. Break his blasted engagement and stop acting like a loser.

Kaname felt zero shivering. He embraced him back. Zero smelled wonderful like lilies and waterfall. Kaname wanted to hold zero like this.

Kaname," zero are you okay?"

Zero looked up and smiled. Kaname stopped breathing for a second. This smile wasn't like the one he gave everyone. This smile was like the one he had given long ago on his birthday.

Zero," I am sorry Kaname, I know what you think of me but please believe me I love you, you are the first and last. It will always be you. What I do with others and Ruca is just an act. Something happened because of it I changed. I'll tell you everything one day. "

Kaname," I don't want to believe you but maybe I will."

Kaname smiled at zero. Zero was stunned he wanted to kiss Kaname. He wanted those sweet lips on his.

Zero," stop that or I might not be able to go home tonight. I'll make you mine here and now. But first what did you get for me? I can promise you Kaname tomorrow you'll see the real me. Even though that me died with my sweet mother. But for you I'll come back. You moved my frozen time, I'll do anything to get your trust."

Kaname was moved by zero's words. He touched zero's cheek and kissed him very shyly there. Then he ran upstairs to get the present. Zero just touched the spot where those soft petal like lips had touched his cheek. Zero just thought: Kaname you are making it highly difficult for me to focus.

Kaname came back and Zero took the present from it. For a minute he just kept on staring at it. Hell even the wrapping was beautiful.

Zero," is there some reason behind this wrapping?"

Kaname nodded, "yup, it reminds me of your silver hair and colour red is something I have never seen you wear."

Zero blushed. Kaname looked at zero and his mind went to the gutter. Zero is so fucking beautiful.

Zero opened the first packet and saw a blood red button down shirt. The shirt was damn hot. Was Kaname trying to create more enemies for himself? Zero never wore red outside. At home his mother used to cuddle him and his father and brother still did the same.

The second shirt was snow white. It was very soft and felt like cotton. It was also see through. Has Kaname lost it?

Zero," um Kaname you trying to make enemies for yourself by buying me such hot clothes?"

Kaname was thinking same when he had got those clothes for zero.

Kaname," nope you'll only wear them in front of me, I'll never allow such a priceless sight to be seen by some hoodlums whom you hang out with. Zero I am looking forward to seeing you in these when you are alone with Me." wonder if they will stop me from seeing what they cover. Wait I am Kaname not a pervert.

Kaname was about to find out whether he can stop or not since zero had a few ideas himself.

Zero was as red as a cherry when he heard Kaname say this.

Zero," how about I show you now, my Kaname." zero purred in his husky voice.

Zero slowly started opening his first button, his eyes filled with love and want for Kaname. He moved closer to his lover and opened the second button. Kaname was breathing very fast, there was sweat on his face. His neck was pale gleaming with perspiration.

Zero was very amused. This was first for Kaname and him. He knew Kaname disliked every one and only loved his family and nature. He was going to enjoy this. Zero opened his whole shirt and was stood there. Kaname gasped.

Kaname realised he was ogling at Zero and looked away. He was as red as he could get from head to neck. He had never thought zero was so beautiful.

Zero went towards Kaname, Kaname closed his eyes. He might not know what to do but seeing Zero like that was making him extremely hot.

Kaname," I'll see you in your shirt later, please put your shirt back on."

Zero was very amused. He had already pulled on the shirt. He moved towards Kaname and took his hand in his.

He looked at Kaname's long slender whiter than snow fingers. He was truly beautiful. Zero kissed them. Zero wondered how Kaname's legs looked. Zero stopped his thoughts before he could embarrass himself further.

Kaname's breathing hitched. He opened his eyes and was surprised. Zero was looking hot in that red shirt.

Zero," hey sweetheart like what you see?"

Kaname, "what? Zero put your shirt back on." he looked away from Zero. Zero was purposely teasing him wasn't he? But that was a real treat. The dark shirt hung on to his shoulders, with top buttons open one hand kissing Kaname's fingers other one around Kaname's waist.

Kaname," Zero please." his voice was husky now.

Zero blushed again when he understood the meaning. He withdrew back. Kaname closed his eyes red covering his cheeks as Zero wore his usual shirt.

When Kaname opened his eyes he saw Zero kissing both of the shirts. Kaname blushed. Zero went towards Kaname. He wanted to seal their feelings. He will kiss him.

Then the door opened and Juri came in. she stopped at seeing the wonderful scene. Zero holding two shirts and moving towards her baby Kaname.

Juri," so sorry for interruption."

Zero smiled at the lady." its fine my lady I'll be leaving soon. Well then bye Kaname dear."

Zero bowed to Juri and left. Kaname was burning. Stupid Zero in front of mother.

Juri dropped the groceries and hugged Kaname. Her nature lover baby, her beloved Kaname had finally found a beauty like zero. She blessed both of them to live happily forever.

Juri," so will you tell me Kaname?"

Kaname," I like Zero mother."

Juri," I could see that in both of your eyes. Go for it."

Juri then kissed Kaname on her forehead and left to make a wonderful lunch.

Zero went back home. He had decided he will tell Ruca tomorrow that he is breaking off the engagement. He wasn't interested and will never be. He will stop doing all this nonsense. He saw Ichiru and Maria fighting in their room with Rido looking amused.

Maria," answer your father where the hell are you at some nights, who are you seeing behind my back, you unfaithful coward, I hate you."

Ichiru," Maria no please, I am not unfaithful well maybe a coward. I am going nowhere."

Zero stood beside his father. Rido smiled and ruffled zero's hair.

Zero," Maria why are you shouting?"

Maria," he is not in his room at night, where is he going, I came yesterday night and he was out."

Rido," Ichiru why don't you tell me, you know I've been told to look inside the murders and mysterious deaths. They happen in night as well. Are you in some way involved…?"

Ichiru," daddy way to go you know I can't hurt a dog, what a way to get me to tell the truth. Fine I go to her house some times. I like seeing Maria sleeping. Happy. I am a sleepwalker as well, Zero knows it it happens sometimes, I usually end up in garden or at Maria's place."

Ichiru was bright red with shame and embarrassment. Maria blushed. Zero and Rido laughed.

Rido," oh well I know your sleepwalking habit. Your mother used to laugh so much about it, just go inside and rest and for god's sake don't become a stalker."

Rido left and Zero laughed. Ichiru kissed Maria. Maria returned the kiss and murmured he could have said so in beginning.
