Chapter 6
Pulling back slightly, panting, foreheads press together, they stare into the other's lustful eyes.
"Zero, are you awake, I heard strange noises and came to check on you" Yuki's muffle voice speaks from the other side of the locked door, sounding concern.
'Of course she would interrupt our fun when it's getting good, Kai growls, we were so close.'
"Tomorrow, you can take us on our first date, Zero whispers after catching his breath, a picnic so we can talk-and no getting handsy" he warns feeling the hands on his ass squeeze firmly but didn't stop the pureblood.
"I'll keep that in mind" Kaname states inwards peeved at being interrupted just when the silverette gave in.
"We have a lot to talk about-"
Another knock interrupts further conversation.
"Zero are you in there?" Yuki inquires.
The hunter clicks his tongue annoyed, "we'll continue this tomorrow-talking I mean, Zero adds at seeing the glint in Kaname's eyes, cheeks deepening in color, so don't pout" he slide off the purebloods lap.
"I don't pout, the brunette let him move then stands with a sigh after adjusting his pants, the transfer papers will be finalized tomorrow."
"Already!?" Zero cross his leg to hide his erection, 'that was quick.'
'Someone is eager'
"We should tell the others about us, I don't want them giving you grief because of a misunderstanding"
"Kaname, he sighs, 'you've been sighing a lot lately, Zero', we can't-at least not yet, it will only cause problems we don't need right now, he reasons when Kaname look about to protest, plus I can handle your little fan club but right now you need to head back before one of them comes looking for you."
"Very well" the pureblood reluctantly agrees, leans down, steal another heated kiss then walk to the door leaving a fluster, glaring Zero sitting on his navy sheet covered bed, a satisfying smirk on thin lips.
Opening the door reveals Yuki who's surprise at seeing Kaname, especially coming out from Zero's room, (she'd been in Zero's room only once after he'd remodeled it entering high school) she thought they hated each other.
"Hello Yuki, have a good night" the male brunette greets pleasantly, inwards displease at her interrupting, walks away after closing the door behind him.
Yuki is understandably confused, 'why was Kaname-senpai in Zero's room and why didn't the ingrate answer if he's there!' she knocks again after watching the pureblood leave her sight.
A few seconds later a scowling Zero opens the door, " .it?" he grits out beyond annoyed.
Yuki's eyes widen at his appearance, never having seen him with his hair loosen and dressed so provocatively/feminine before, 'I've always knowns Zero is good looking but like this he's prettier than all the girls at school, how unfair!'
"Are you going to answer me or gawk like an idiot" he asks irritated.
"I was worried, there were strange moaning noise and-"
"You know, this concern act is getting really old, you should be more worried about yourself cause unlike a certain someone I can defend myself, Zero interjects coldly, if that's all I'm going to sleep" before he could close the door Yuki's next words pauses him.
"Wait, why was Kaname-senpai here…in your room?"
Zero levels her with a chilling glare, "is that any of your business?"
Yuki flinch, "O-of course it is" she stutters mustering a glare back at him.
"Hm, how so?" his tone condescending.
"Because we're family" she states firmly confident.
The ex-human burst out laughing, to the female prefect confuse irritation, using the door for support Zero hold his side.
"That's hilarious, he breaths, calming, wiping imaginary tears, you just keep spouting shit" he sneers then slams the door in her stun face.
The brunette stare at the close door with narrowed angry eyes, 'why Zero, you always, always, protected me no matter what, even though you're cold to me, saw through my facade, you were always there to save me, so tell me why, why won't you act like I want you to!'
She had assumed since he rarely interacts with others, Zero prefers silence and privacy to the noise and company of others, believing she knew him best (having grown up together) would wear him down eventually but she kept been proven wrong.
Yuki leaves in a huff to her room peeved.
A lone figure retreats from the scene having eavesdropped on the duo's interaction.
'Your former teacher sure likes to lurk around'
'Well, it is part of the job description' he retorts pulling the sheet up his body then doze off.
The next couple days Zero and Kaname went on secret dates, sharing with each other what they told no one else.
They are content in their developing relationship behind close door but in public kept up the 'I hate you' act though Kaname's inner circle could tell something had changed between the suppose rivals.
The atmosphere around the two males seems charged, more than usual, with something primal yet light? puzzling the vampires especially considering the usually indifferent silverette.
Yuki, notice it started the morning after Kaname-senpai visited Zero, wondering if it was related.
'Did they reconcile or something?'
She started watching Zero closely since then, 'sneakily' followed him around but he always gave her the slip frustrating her to no end and his increased avoidance of her didn't help either.
Kaname's blissful mood soured with the unpleasant news from Takuma days later.
"So, you called me here to have me and Yuki escort the head council member from the Senate that's visiting his grandson to your office?" Zero deadpans.
"Yes" Kaien beams.
"Fine" he agrees easily pleasing the ex-hunter greatly who carry on with his usual antics.
'It gives me an excuse to visit Kana without being questioned' 'well played'
"However, I wish to go alone father"
"Huh, why?" Kaien asks curious.
"Yuki and I had a disagreement so we're giving each other space" he states emotionless causing Kaien to sweat drop.
Zero arrive at the moon dorm just in time to see Asato Ichijo lift Kaname's hand to his lips and Ruka with Aido intervene.
Silently the hunter walks in while pulling out Bloody Rose, "I wouldn't continue if I were you" Zero warns, a menacing smile stretch painted lips, his weapon press to the back of Asato Ichijo's head.
Silence reign, the night students present are perplexed, Asato eyes narrowed while burgundy dance with amusement.
Kaname's inner-circle finds the usually indifferent prefect reaction strange believing he dislike all vampires especially their leader.
"I suggest stepping away vampire, for your own good" Zero's expression turn sinister sending shivers down spines.
"My, such a scary hunter, Asato comment while complying, there is no need to overreact, I was simply saying hello."
'Click' the sound of the gun safety being release echoes ominously loud, everyone stiffens holding their breath.
"I assure you sir, to the vampire's continued surprise Zero smiles brightly, you wouldn't want to see me overreact."
"Ze-Kiryu, Kaname interjects before things got further out of hand, I'm sure he didn't mean any harm, could you please lower your weapon" the pureblood asks politely 'was I turned on by Zero's display just now?'
Their eyes meet for a second while no one notice the brunette's little slip of the tongue.
'Yes, definitely turned on'
Zero steps back lowering Bloody Rose, expression blank, eyes still train on the older blond noble then waits patiently for the vampires to wrap up their conversation to finish his job.
'K?'
'Hm?'
'Is something wrong, he inspects his nails bored, you've been strangely quiet these days'
'It's nothing to worry about'
'Well if you say so'
After leading Asato to the chairman's office the silverette went back to prefect duty.
Before bed Kaien called Zero back to his office giving him a letter from the Vampire Hunter Association, assigning him his first mission that he can't refuse.
To be continue…
