Everything was different now that the cat was out of the bag that Zero was a girl. The two still hated each other more than anyone else and even put time into being extra mean to each other just to try and keep up the normal atmosphere that they shared. But it was difficult considering that the atmosphere would never be the same again. "Hurry up Kuran." said Zero in her usually grumpy voice. "I don't have all day!"
The pureblood was taking forever to come out of the shower. As soon as he woke up he had rushed to the bathroom and locked himself inside. "If you aren't coming out I'm walking in and I'll make you leave!" She could hear as something was thrown against the door and she sighed irritably. She knew that he could be stubborn, but this was downright ridiculous. If he kept this up they'd both be late for school. Not that she minded, but for the punctual pureblood prince to be late would cause an uproar among his followers. "Fine whatever stay in there I don't care. I'll just go shower somewhere else… Asshole." And without another word she left, roughly slamming the door behind her.
Kaname sighed of relief because she was gone and he could finally be by himself. He ran a hand through his wet and tasseled hair looking at the swollen manhood that rested between his legs. "Never in my life time did I actually think Zero Kiriyu could drive me to such barbaric actions."
It was true. The prince had woken up with an ache in his crotch caused by the thought of his hunter roommate. It was unlike him to have such unclean ideas about another girl who wasn't his darling Yuki, but after having such a long glimpse of Zero's almost perfect body, his teenage hormones could do nothing else but desire after her. Even if he still is the most despicable- SHE is still the most despicable person that he had ever met.
Maybe after ten more minutes of his cold shower, his little visitor decided to disappear, leaving Kaname as happy as a bumbling bee. He quickly washed off, dried and dressed himself. He gathered his things and headed to the dining hall only to find out that everyone had already finished eating and left for the class exchange. He quickly grabbed a bite to eat, ordering an omelet infused with blood from the head chef and pocketed his blood tablets into his bag. After putting away his dishes he met up with the rest of the night class with 5 minutes left to spare before the gates were to be opened.
"Lord Kaname! Just where were you?! We almost went on a search party just to look for you." A worried, almost skittish Ruka rushed towards him accompanied by an ever so calm Akatsuki following behind her. And although he tried to act like he didn't care, it was apparent that even he was a little bit jarred by the Lord of Nights absence at breakfast. "There is no need to worry. I was merely enjoying my shower is all." He gave her a small smile and watched as a light blush spread across her cheeks. From across the other end of the room was Zero, leaning against the grandfather clock glaring at him mumbling under her breath." Yeah, enjoyed it a bit too much… Too busy touching yourself Kuran?" Although it was just a snarky remark, she really didn't know how accurate that statement was. A statement that Kaname was quick to pick up.
The tips of his ears turned red from embarrassment but luckily no one seemed to notice the shift in his demeanor. "That was an inappropriate gesture Kiriyu. I ask that you reframe from disrespecting me in front of my colleagues." In return Zero snickered. "Colleagues my ass. If they were your colleagues then that would make them equal to you, right? They're nothing more than the sheep that mindlessly follow your lead." Ruka walked over to her practically bumping chests with her. "Want to say that again, you filthy Level D? I think you'll find that my fists can do more talking than my actual words can." Her eyes flashed that ominous blood red, emphasizing her anger. Zero smirked and reached into her jacket pulling out bloody rose and aiming it at her chest. Now everyone was on high alert.
"If your fists can do more talking than raise them up higher. At least they don't actually speak like that mouth you got…" As they were both about to fight, the lights above their heads began to pop one by one until the room had turned completely dark. But thanks to their vampiric night vision, they were still able to see.
"Enough of this foolishness! I will not tolerate you all disgracing your ranks! You want to talk down about Zero being a Level D and how you are above him Ruka, but your status means nothing if you continue to act like something lower than it. And you Zero, I have a special punishment for you after our classes end. Do I make myself clear?" Ruka had already bowed her head in shame while Zero continued to look unaffected. "Yes Lord Kaname, I understand." Kaname walked over to her and raised his hand causing her to flinch, but rather than hit her he grasped her chin and tilted her head up. "It's about time we head to the school, yes?"
In realization of the time, she quickly regained her composer and followed him to the front lines along with his main council. The gates were finally opened and they all left in an orderly assortment. Upon entering the courtyard, the sounds of cheering from the day class students rang out in the air. "Stay behind the lines please! Let them through!" Yuki was there trying her hardest to fend off both sides, blowing her whistle with all her might. But per usual no one payed her any attention.
Zero chuckled and walked over to her resting her elbow on her head. "Having trouble again I see?" Yuki looked up at her surprised but shook her head. "I keep telling you that I can handle this on my own! I don't need you Zero!" She stepped away and blew her whistle yet again but still the day class raged on. Zero patted her shoulder and took center stage in front of the sea of girls and gave them her famous glare and everyone quickly turned quiet and got into rows respectfully watching instead of being like a group of wild animals. "See? Maybe you should learn to be more like me." They continued to talk and have a good time, and as they talked Kaname watched smiling.
Hanabusa quickly noticed where Kaname's gaze led and also traced his attention to both Yuki and Zero. "It makes me kind of sick how he refuses to accept what he is. I mean just look at him! Pretending to be a human, acting like he's still one of them. If he acted like a real vampire than maybe, he could find some more respect in you and understand the position he's in." Kaname shrugged his shoulders and his smile only grew. "That may be so, but I fear that if he does accept what has become of him, he might want not want to walk in the day anymore. The more he wants to be human again the more I can trust that my Yuki will be protected. That's all that matters to me…"
His smile faltered as his mind wandered into that forbidden area. He will always think of Yuki as his younger sister, but not only is she his sister, she is also going to be his future bride to carry on the pure blood that runs in their veins, and to carry on the Kuran name. With the price of her becoming his wife he couldn't help but think of the foreplay that would lead her to carrying his child. And how she is not the same Yuki that use to follow him around calling him big brother, but thought of her as a young woman. Which lead him to think of her body. He gulped, letting his mind wander into the subject further. He thought of her breasts, legs. His mind tried painting an image of what his Yuki could possibly be concealing under her clothes. His imagination started wandering into another territory. It no longer thought of Yuki's body, but Zero's which he had actually seen. And then once again his little friend was back.
"Lord Kaname, are you alright?" asked Hanabusa who looked worried for his leader. He finally came to his senses at the sound of his companion's voice and saw that he had stopped walking, ultimately making the rest stop walking as well. "Yes Aido, I'm fine. I just have something on my mind is all." Hanabusa gave him a confused look because it was so unlike him to become lost in his thoughts. He was normally the most composed out of all of them! "Would you like to talk about it?" Kaname shook his head. "No actually. To be honest, I would like to get my mind off of it."
"Well if you want a distraction how about we change the subject. I know it's none of my business to ask, but just what type of punishment were you planning to give to Zero?" Kaname was a little surprised by the question but gave a slight laugh. "I was bluffing when I originally brought up the punishment. Because Zero was not born a vampire it is not in my jurisdiction to make her- him listen. After all he was adopted into the coven and therefore will undoubtedly refuse my direction. But after some thinking… about things. I think a punishment is in well order." The confused look on Hanabusa's face only intensified. Was it just his ears deceiving him or did he hear Kaname refer to Zero as a she? Maybe it was an accident. Before Hanabusa could ask about it they had already reached the school and he became silent upon entering the classroom.
"Well welcome back to class you no good blood suckers." Yagari walked in sucking on his cigarette like usual, blowing a big cloud of smoke into the open air. "We vampires might live for a long time, but we can still die you know. Are you trying to kill us with lung cancer?" said Ruka who was acting like a stuck up princess once again, holding her nose scoffing at the smell. "A real hunter would never resort to using poison to killing leaches like you. If I wanted you dead little girl, you already would be." Yagari took another hit from his cancer stick and sat at his desk ready to take attendance. He started off and began marking people off but halted when he reached Zero's name. "Should I even bother calling out this name? That pupil of mine is never in class." He scanned the room and sure enough she wasn't. "But then again, if I were in your shoes Zero, I wouldn't want to be either."
Kaname looked up from his seat at the window sill and also noticed that Zero wasn't there. Not that that was a big surprise. "It would be my pleasure to look for Mister Kiriyu, thank you for asking sensei." He stood up and proceeded to leave the classroom leaving everyone else in confusion and shock. Yagari looked perplexed by the situation. "But I didn't even ask you too…"
Zero sat in the barn with Lily the horse, enjoying the fresh night air and taking comfort in the peace and quiet. "You're probably the only person I enjoy seeing, you know that?" she said petting the horses muzzle who replied with a light nudge and happy nay. Kaname could see her from afar as the barn light left a shining halo against her silver hair, and just for a moment he forgot she was Zero Kiriyu, the obnoxious, sarcastic vampire huntress who was rooming with him. He saw her as a work of art, an angelic looking creature almost. A figure of true innocence and beauty.
Zero turned her head in his direction and the spell casted over him was broken as her normal scowl was placed upon her face. "I can smell you you know. Your scent is hard to miss. What are you even doing here?" Kaname tried hard to conceal a smirk, but it was quickly picked up by the other. "I just came to bring you back to class. You shouldn't miss any more days if you want to actually pass. Unless you want to stay in the moon dorm for another year. But that's all fine by me, I like watching you struggle anyways." He said as he turned to leave.
The huntress sighed as she stood up. "Fine. I'll go back with you. You can be quite convincing when you have some valid points." As she collected her things she heard a chuckle and quickly gritted her teeth. "Now don't let that get to your head, you stupid vampire!" She threw her textbook at him aiming straight for his head. But because of his quick reflexes he easily dodged it and with his neck breaking speed appeared right next to her. Zero looked around confused trying to scan his location and jumped when someone lightly tugged at her hair, and when she turned around her lilac eyes met amber ones.
The pureblood prince stood behind her with a lock of her hair placed on his lips, giving it a light kiss. The action was kind of flirtatious, and it resulted in Kaname receiving a rosy blush from the level D. "You really shouldn't underestimate me you know. If I wanted to, I could have killed you right then. Put it in your head that we are not equals." He then proceeded to tug on her hair and pull her into a tight, almost demanding embrace. Zero was in shock because it was so not like the other to treat her in such a manner. She normally would have expected an action like this for Yuki, with the exception of being more gentle.
"You went way out of line earlier this afternoon, talking to me as if we could compare in status. In the vampire world, we believe in respect." He took ahold of her arm and with a quick motion shoved her to the ground, flipping her over so that they were face to face. Zero stared up at him dazed from the fall but could feel as her jacket began to slip from her shoulders and she began to struggle. "What the hell are you doing?!" Kaname leaned over and nuzzled his face in her neck causing her face to turn into an even deeper red.
He pulled the jacket completely off her and looked down at her. Her black button up polo a mess and the bandages which held down her womanhood could be seen through the almost translucent fabric. "Did you already forget that I was going to punish you? I was quite serious." He proceeded to kiss her neck and as she tried to pull away he used his hand to grasp her chin to keep her still.
"You should be grateful Kiriyu. This is a service I do not provide to just anyone, especially to a lowly level D such as yourself.", he said. With one swift motion he sank his fangs deep into her shoulder causing her to scream. Zero who began to pound her hands against his chest has now started to become weak and noticed as the pain started to disappear and be replaced with the best pleasure she had ever felt before. When she was bitten by Shizuka the pain was so strong that it caused her to pass out. But with Kaname it felt different than her last experience. With him it actually felt pretty enjoyable.
She reached her arms around his body embracing him around the shoulders as he fed. She titled her head back as a moan barely escaped her lips causing Kaname to bite harder, which in turn forced the whole moan out. As he let go he looked down at her sweaty, flustered and pleasure filled face. He chuckled as he wiped her blood from his lips and got closer until their noses were touching. "What's wrong Zero? I didn't think you'd enjoy that so much." He goes back to her neck and licks up the remaining blood and she shivers as his warm tongue strokes against her cold throat. "Just what did you do to me?" she said tiredly.
He stops and gets up off of her leaving her a panting mess on the floor. "I fed from you of course, what else? If you're wondering why it felt good, then that is an easy question to answer. It's because you desired it." His smirk grew wider as her facial expression distorted to denial. "That's a lie." "Are you sure it didn't feel good? Because by the sounds you made I think I could say otherwise."
Zero couldn't help but feel ashamed. There is no possible way that she actually wanted him to bite her, right? She was a hunter for Christs sake and his mortal enemy! "You're the worst Kuran… I will have my revenge for this." She stands up fixing her shirt and as Kaname tries to walk past her she grabs him by the wrist and points her bloody rose straight at his gut. "Give me a reason not to. Because you just majorly pissed me off." He yanks his arm away and gestures to the approaching figures who are recognized to be Ruka, Hanabusa and Seiren who had went out to find him. "Because if you hurt me, they will kill you." He looks back at them as Ruka sprints into a run and pushes Zero back, knocking her gun out of her hand.
"Do you have a death wish Kiriyu?!" Both females glared at each other and it was apparent to the others of the sparks that flew between them. Zero tiredly sighs and walks over to her gun, picking it up and pocketing it. "You aren't worth my time. None of you are." She brushes past them to go wherever else but stops by Kaname. "You better hope you sleep with your eyes open tonight.." And with that she left. The pureblood prince proceeded to chuckle as he watched her leave in a hurried manner, fueled by both embarrassment and anger. Just what did little Zero have plotting in her mind?
