Hello guys! I missed you a lot and I have to tell you that reviews are officially my drug. I was devastated by the crash of my computer and I lost the plot I worked so hard to put together for this story.

I was having second thoughts about drafting it again from the old notebook of scribbles that inspired me, but seeing the awesome reviews the last couple of chapters got made me go over the ideas again and put up the plot again.

It took me two freaking days but was worth it. (I am usually a whimsical person that do not like to do the same work twice by the way).

BUCKETS OF LOVE TO THE AWSOME PEOPLE WHO ARE REVIEWING, FAVORITING AND FOLLOWING THIS STORY:

And a special thank you for the reviewers who encourage me to do my best and to go on writing this story. (the order is random, I love you all *kiss*)

Important Note : the last update was actually two chapters updated back to back (18 and 19), however, some of my readers brought to my attention that they did not receive a notification about chapter 19 and that they realized it was there by chance. If you are one of them, please make sure to go back and read chapter 19 before proceeding *kiss*

Enjoy!

Chapter20

"You know, being caring and considerate, going at my pace is… enjoyable, However" Zero dragged the last word and sucked in his lower lip seductively before going on "I somehow cannot get the intensity of that first time out of my mind" he bent down to fetch the bathrobe and picked another condom for the pocket.

"Really?!" Kaname asked with an amused inquiring tone, he relaxed on his back, propping himself on the bunch of pillows at the headboard and rested the back his head on his forearm, watching the silverette coming to his side of the bed. "The honest truth!" whispered Zero in Kaname's ear as he nipped at it. The mattress sank as the hunter got on the bed and cradled the pureblood's midsection, taking a few moments of silence to enjoy the view of the perfect body underneath him. Zero started tracing a finger over Kaname's jugular. He leaned to give him a peck on the lips as he lightly squeezed his neck in a jokingly strangling fashion which made Kaname smirk into the kiss "So you can drop the good man act and let loose because I want you to fuck me senseless!"

The hunter talked with a commanding voice that unexpectedly aroused the pureblood instead of offending him,

"Hmmm?... What should I do? I wonder!" Kaname talked rhetorically as he watched Zero lean back again, relishing in the touch of the hunter's hand going from his neck to tracing his collarbone, then his pectoral where the silverette leaned once more to suck and tease his nipples making his breath hitch. "It is troublesome if you complain about it later like before, or ugh!... worse, call the deal off!" Kaname grunted as he followed the wicked ministration of a certain silver haired man with his red-brown hooded eyes, caressing the smooth pale thighs shifting on his sides.

While he assaulted the hardening nubs, Zero lifted his own rear so that he positioned himself lower on Kaname's thighs this time. The hot mouth traveled from a nipple to a navel leaving a trail of kisses and nibbles on its wake, when it slowly started to travel lower, Kaname's lust filled eyes widened and he felt himself harden even more in anticipation at the thought of Zero actually breaking one of his rules so soon. Little did he expect the jolt of pleasure Zero bestowed on him by nibbling and sucking on the thin skin of the pelvic bone then rise again in a sitting position with a victorious smirk on his face. He grabbed the condom and teased Kaname's skin with the sharp side of the wrapping making the pureblood grunt and gasp.

"I won't ever relinquish or break any of the rules I set up, might work around them if I find it convenient for me, which probably won't happen, but the no blowjob rule is absolute, you better not push it unless you want to the deal to be over, got it? … Also, to answer your question, no! I won't be a sissy and complain when I am the one who asked for it" he grinned before tearing the foil wrap of condom, enjoying the disappointed look on Kaname's face. Zero thought that the sulking pureblood looked cute for a second before shaking the idea out of his mind as he stroked the engorged length then put the condom on it. Zero yelped in surprise when Kaname pulled him against his chest just when the Zero was positioning himself to ride him. Kaname stretched a hand and grabbed the lube conveniently placed on the nightstand and poured generous amount in his hand. Zero tried to wiggle out of the arm firmly pressing him against Kaname, only to end up giving in and relaxed his body against the other's, he rested his chin on Kaname's chest and looked at him quizzically "what is that for!" Kaname looked at him with an evil grin that sent shivers down his spine "That my dear is to make sure the harsh punishment to come does not leave any lasting injuries. Did you think that stunt would be forgiven?" Kaname spoke with a dark menacing voice as he lubricated his hardness and spread Zero's ass to position himself and thrust up hard without warning.

Zero's whole body jerked forward from the shock as he choked on whatever he was about to say. Once he made sure he is as deep as he can get inside the hunter, Kaname wrapped his arms around Zero upper body and held him tightly so that their bodies were glued together. Afterward, he pulled his knees up and dug his heels into the mattress with one last warning. "Better remember to breath"

"Aah..AAH..fuu..AWHHH"

All of these actions happened so fast, Zero had no time to process their new position. All he can think about, or more precisely all he can feel, is Kaname pushing in and pulling out of him with piston like speed that made him see stars.

Unable to escape from the burning of the relentless fucking, the hunter found himself keening and screaming loudly at first before ending up gasping for air with each hard thrust before whimpering and moaning when a harder one follows shortly after. His erection being squeezed and rubbing in-between their bellies served to make him go weaker and more delirious from the assault and sensations at the inhuman speed of their mating. "Oh! Mmph… Ka..AAAhhnnn..Kana…please…"

"Please what Zero"

"Ngh! Slower aAAAHHH please …ugh…..Ooh… so deep..God!"

"Nope"

Zero's eyes widened and he tried to look up into wine orbs only to shut them again as Kaname picked up the pace for a few more thrusts. Zero rested his forehead on firm chest gasping for the air he did not find, his face was turning redder as he tried so hard to cope with the sensation. Sure, there was a bit of pain, but it was forgotten in the back of his head due to the overwhelming pleasure of Kaname hitting him right where he wanted at a maddening pace.

The sheer pleasure brought him to tears, he could not control his body anymore, Zero was panting, gasping and sobbing from pleasure to a level that scared him, "haah, oohnn~ Shit!...Ah! feels… so… fuck… ing… good… AAAH!" Just when the heat and pressure coiling in his body threatened to erupt, Zero felt his world going still for a moment when Kaname accidentally pulled out completely. That is when he managed to gulp for air to appease his burning lungs, not finding the energy to even move his head, his abused body already gone limp on top of the pureblood apart from his hard cock caged and weeping between their stomach. Kaname did not waste time to slide a hand over Zero's sweaty back towards his own shaft that he directed back into the blissful heat again, enjoying the small whimper, he earned from the overwhelmed hunter. He let go of his grip over Zero's body leaving him to rock back and forth softly with his movement.

Kaname ruffled the silver hair of the gasping and sobbing silverette whose face was buried in his chest. He lifted his chin up to look into his eyes, smirking when he saw pain and pleasure mixed in the sexy expression of the hunter, hovering over the edge of the precipice called climax. Zero's face was flushed red, lips parted allowing gasps and pants to flow, his eyes were watery with streaks of tears down his cheeks. Kaname rubbed a soft cheek with his thumb as he helped the hunter shift a little upward so that their faces meet, continuously thrusting inside him, albeit slowly. Zero automatically placed his shaky hands on Kaname's shoulders in attempt to anchor himself. "Lesson number one, whenever you tease me, I will make sure to return the favor tenfold. Be sure to remember that, Zero!" he whispered against parted lips before pulling him down for a searing kiss.

Xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Few hours later at cross academy xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

After taking a relaxing warm bath, Zero sat on the comfortable couch, snuggled under a warm quilt with his laptop on his lap. The music filling the room did not hinder his ears from hearing the soft knock and the door clicking open after he called whoever came in. Moments later, Aido showed up cradling a sleepy Keiichi in his arms.

"Good evening, Mr. Fugitive!" the blond vampire greeted in a sulking tone

"Good evening to you, Mr. Detective!" Zero replied with a crooked eyebrow, wondering about the accusation while setting his laptop on the coffee table. Kei's head perked as soon as he heard his voice and struggled for Aido to let him down. The drowsy kid climbed the couch, got under the cover and immediately snuggled up to Zero after giving him a kiss on the cheek that the hunter reciprocated unconsciously. Electric blue eyes widened in surprise at the unexpectedly spontaneous display of affection that he did not expect to witness from the grumpy hunter, especially not towards Rido's child.

"I have been looking for you all day. Rima and Senri had to leave Kei-chan in Yuki-sama's care, but she was too tired and had to sleep. The kid started throwing tantrums and gave everyone a hard time about wanting to see you; they finally brought him to me at the lab..." Hanabusa paused for a moment as he made himself comfortable on the one seater besides the couch. He could not help but smile at the way Kei-chan managed to trap Zero's hand and latch onto his thumb. It was a symbolic action; the act of sucking on the skin to absorb energy is usually exclusive to the parents. However, in the case of Keiichi, he took on the habit of absorbing the energy of certain individuals to compensate for not having his parents.

"You better not let Rima see him doing that anytime soon if you do not want to get electrocuted" Aido resume his talking, snapping Zero's attention back to him.

"What do you mean?" He asked

"Kei-chan seems to be very picky about whom he would like to absorb from. So far, he mainly takes from the Kuran, Especially Kaname-sama and Senri. He never took from Rima as much as she wanted him to" Aido grinned at the scowl that showed on Zero's face "You don't have to look so suspicious, Kaname-sama is a kind person, it is not alien for him to help a child in need. You just don't want to see it, Zero!"

"I don't want to!" the hunter grumbled as he adjusted the sleeping child in his arms and made sure to cover his shoulders and keep him warm.

"Since when did you become so cozy with him anyways? It looks like this is not the first time you are handling him." Zero flinched at the comment but composed himself soon enough when he figured that the blond vampire was talking about the kid in his arms not the pureblood in which arms he was lying a couple of hours ago.

"There was this one time. Due to my bad luck, I had to witness an argument between Rima and her mother in law at the main gate. It seemed that Senri's mother brought the child because she had a gathering to attend while Rima was counting on her to take care of him while she went to a photoshoot. Long story short, Keiichi slipped from the quarrelling women and came to greet me, then decided that he wants to stay with me. I could not refuse after seeing the desperation in his mom's expression. Since then, he would make sure that someone drops him by my office whenever he does not find anyone to play with. It never bothered me because I just had to leave him on the carpet with his games and drawings; he is definitely less of a handful than Allen's daughter is. Although his habit of absorbing energy can get exhausting at times."

"That explains a lot!" Aido chirped, but continued in a hushed voice when the child stirred "By the way, I hope you are not still upset about hiding the truth of his lineage from you."

Electric blue eyes met calm amethyst orbs for a moment before Zero shook his head "I won't bother remaining upset every single time I discover that I was the only one not knowing about something. Although I was wondering if you could answer few question I had in mind."

Zero could see the blond vampire tensing from the corner of his eyes but did not bother to face him as he caressed the chubby cheek of the sleeping child in his arms. "Go ahead!" Hanabusa spoke softly after letting out a long sigh.

"How old is he, really?" the first question caught the vampire by surprise. Aido knew very well that Zero is one of the sharpest tools in the shed, so he was worried about his reaction if he were to disclose this specific piece of information because he knew that the hunter would immediately connect the dots. Furthermore, he was never comfortable discussing issues of kids and pregnancy with Zero, because he knew how badly it used to affect him after his bad experience with the last abortion. I wish Ichiru were here to answer; this is going to be freaking awkward. Damn my big mouth!

The vampire decided to disclose everything he had about the child to get over the stressful situation that he put himself into, "If you are wondering if the age on his profile as a modeling child, it is obviously wrong for reasons you can guess. He will soon turn eight years old, not four"

The caressing hand stilled for a moment, then resumed its action. "I see…" was the only words escaping the hunter's lips.

"He has a small built and very slow growth because of being born prematurely and away from his biological parents. He spent quite some time under the intensive care at the hospital. Once discharged, Ichiru was dead set against leaving him at an orphanage, and you know the rest of the story."

Before Zero could speak, they sensed a third vampire approaching the house. Aido was more than happy to jump and open the door if it meant an escape from the interrogation. The silver haired hunter sighed again as he carefully pulled his thumb from the parted lips of the child and brushed a curled bang from his forehead.

Moments later, the resounding sound of the high heels drew closer and Rima showed up in the living room with an exhausted smile on her face. She took a seat next to Zero on the couch and waited for him as he carefully placed her child in her arm. "I am sorry that he is bothering you so frequently lately, Kiryuu-kun! He grew attached to you surprisingly fast. Either you are too good with children or it might be because you are Ichiru-kun's twin. He loves your brother so much it makes me jealous at times… Thank you!" The orange haired woman gave a small smile as Zero brushed off her apology and quickly brought a smaller quilt for her to wrap Keiichi with before taking him outside.

"I am not particularly fond of kids, but they tend to get attached to me for some reason. Taking care of your son for few hours is nothing compared to handling the daughter of my business partner back in US. She was practically raised in the company because her mother was always in and out of the hospital and her father did not like leaving her with babysitters. Trust me, compared to Keiichi, that girl is a devil spawn." Violet eyes twinkled when he remembered how helpless Allen was in handling his own child, which is the reason why Zero took pity on the baby and took care of her instead. He went as far as putting on a baby sash and run around the company and meetings with the child sleeping against his chest. However, he would die before revealing such an embarrassing fact to the people here at the academy. He literally threatened Allen about telling Ichiru and confiscated all pictures showing such evidence. He has a weakness against the doe eyes of that girl but he will not let it affect his image and ego as the ruthless hunter he is known to be in this country.

"Why don't you have one of your own then? It would definitely change your perspective." Rima's word snapped him out of his reminiscing.

"Huh?" both males present exclaimed.

The orange haired lady let out a soft chuckle "I said that you should think of having a child of your own, Kiryuu-kun! Find a partner, start a family…"

"That is not possible for me." Zero deadpanned and proceeded to clear out the table in attempt to escape the touchy subject of his sexual preference. Not many people knew that he was gay and he always found it awkward to come out. The fact that he cared so openly for Yuki before only added to the confusion.

"Oh! If you are talking about the fact that you only go for men, I am well aware of that…" Rima surprised him again with an equally deadpan tone that made him freeze.

"Oh my! Sorry, I did not think it was a secret. Yuki-chan told me about it when she was complaining about you being a lone wolf and wanting you to have someone by your side…" Rima talked faster than usual, showing the flustered state of mind as she worried that her words might have rubbed the hunter the wrong way.

That blabbermouth Yuki! Zero took a deep breath "Don't worry about it! It is not much of a secret anyways. As for your inquiry, I am not interested in having a family, much less having a vampire as a life partner, no offense intended."

Luckily, Hanabusa intervened with a couple of stupid jokes to dispel the tension rising in the room. He knew that Zero never took it well when others tried to poke their noses into his private life to tell him what he should do with it, not even his own brother and that this situation could turn messy if Rima did not let go of the issue anytime soon. He felt grateful when Yuki called him looking for Keiichi, which prompted Rima to excuse herself to join her pureblood friend.

The blond haired vampire looked back at his brother in law who resumed his first position on the couch and let out a long sigh, "You know that she was talking out of concern only right?"

"I know, but I wish they keep their concern to themselves." Zero hissed between gritted teeth.

"I will make sure to explain it to her, soon"

"Thanks!" the hunter relaxed.

"Oh! I almost forgot!" Zero jumped at the sudden rise in Aido's voice and looked up in his direction as the vampire was about to leave "I will need you to come by the lab in a couple of days. Your results came back and there is some changes compared to the usual. I need to run more tests to verify if it is a temporary thing, or…"

Violet eyes widened "Don't tell me…!"

Aido grinned at the paling face of the hunter "Relax~! You did not get knocked up. You do not have to worry about that as long as you play safe as instructed. What I am talking about are changes in the hormone balance and some that are physical which might require me to change the formula of your usual medications. That is only if these changes are still persistent… So, is the day after tomorrow at sunset good enough?"

Zero relaxed in his seat after the slight panic attack subsided and nodded to his guest who left shortly after. Fuck! That scared the shit out of me!

Once alone, He resumed his work only to be interrupted by a text message that made him recall the pleasant events of the late evening. His lips curled up.

: : Is your body alright? Kaname

: : You should have an idea after you had your way with it.

: : May I remind you that you gave me the permission to do so.

Zero clucked his tongue imagining the smug look on the pureblood face as he typed the last text. Damn that arrogant prick!

His body was fine after taking few tablets and a relaxing bath. He would dig a hole and crawl inside before admitting that he would not have minded for them to do more when Kaname decided to go back earlier. He would hate to say it, but the hunter did not mind being a helpless mess of pleasure in the arms of the pureblood as the brunet alternated between taking him slowly and handling him in a rough almost savage way right after.

His musing was interrupted by another message pinging,

: : Did you think about my request?

: : You're an impatient one, you know that?

: : I would have been more patient if you did not set an unreasonable deadline.

: : That will be the last time I hear you complaining about it, and yes I thought about that demand of yours. I am free tomorrow, but I have plans the day after.

: : Great! Is it not possible to reschedule whatever you have planned the day after tomorrow?

Zero shook his head chuckling at the pouting emoticon the pureblood sent and typed his reply

: : I seem to have forgotten to mention that I do not appreciate clingy partners, keep that in mind! As for my appointment, if I were to cancel it, I would have a pissed off Aido Hanabusa chasing me around.

Kaname frowned at the mention of the blond vampire as well as the part about him being clingy.

: : What does Aido have to do with it?

: : He is my self-proclaimed physician, and he insisted on having me undergoing a checkup soon.

: : Is something wrong?

: : No~ just something about changing my treatment and other stuff I don't really understand. What I am certain of is that your mad-scientist of a subordinate enjoys studying the changes in my body and takes fun in making new concoction to test on me.

: : Isn't that similar to treating you as a guinea pig ?

: : I would not see it that way. He is after all cutting out on his precious time to study my fluctuating state and look for solutions to help me cope with my unique condition and I am grateful for that. If the price for it is to be poked by few needles and undergo more tests than a normal person would to satisfy his curiosity, I am fine with it.

Kaname nodded to no one as he brushed the idea of lecturing Aido about abusing the hunter's trust. He smiled as he read the message that followed.

: : See you tomorrow at the same time and same place then. Good night!

: : Good night!

Zero locked his phone as his skin tingled in anticipation.

Kaname ended up booking the hotel room until the end of the week. The two met up every chance they got and indulged in countless encounters of intense pleasure that was more than any law could allow. Meanwhile, Kaname was taking every chance he got to make the hunter relax more in his presence and take away the guilt Zero seems to get riddled with every time they had to leave. He also made sure to make him anticipate more as not to have him get bored and call the deal off. The result of his hard work showed sooner than he expected, that is until the news of Yagari's departure were announced that very same weekend. The phone call interrupted them just as things started to heat up in the bedroom of Zero's apartment, they had no choice but to call it off so that the hunter would get ready and go back to cross's house where his mentor would depart from in direction of the airport.

Kaname was of course aware of the details pertaining to the old hunter's departure because his own secretary and personal bodyguard were put in charge of settling everything for A to Z. However, he did not divulge any of this for he was helping the hunter anonymously and was certain that the last thing Toga Yagari would like is for everyone to know that a pureblood saved him from an impending death, if he survives that is!

Nonetheless, the pureblood could not deny that he insisted on meeting Zero shortly after the hunter reached his place because he wanted to be by his side when Zero would receive the news. He even worked extra hard to clear his weekend completely and made up the excuse of wanting to spend some time alone awayto rest.

Reviews please!

Sorry if the quality of writing dropped in this chapter, I wrote it right after my final and got a bit lazy about rereading and fixing it. I might do it later and I will make sure to inform you about it :D

Also, can anybody tell me why the muse decide to pop the awesome ideas and scenes while I drive or in the shower, where there is no computer to type the damn words, and when I try to remember later, it does not look as awesome as the first time *grumpy face*
