Chapter 5
Closing his door behind him 'Zero' rest the empty plate on the glass table, take off his shirt then walks to the (new) minifridge beside his bed for a chilled bottled water.
A minute later the hunter feels the pureblood outside his door, a devious smirk curl pink lips, "its open" he states before the male could knock.
'Good he took the bait, now to reel him in.'
Back to the door, 'Zero' hears it open then close, he turns still shirtless to see Kaname eyeing him.
"What brings you here, Kuran-senpai?" he feigns ignorance watching the brunette moves closer.
Standing inches apart, dancing lavender clash with heated burgundy.
Tense silence reign as the air grew more charged.
'Will it feel as good as they made it seem in those videos or disappointing like most first-time experience?' he ponders curious.
"Are you just going to stare-" his lips were suddenly seal in a fierce kiss.
'Zero' didn't resist, wrap both arms around Kaname's neck while deepening the kiss.
"What does this mean?" Kaname asks breaking the kiss.
"No, he places a pale finger on the pureblood's lips, don't talk, just feel" he reseals their lips.
Clothes were strip off as they stumble to the bed, thinking only of feeling the other bare skin on their own heated flesh.
Two hours later had 'Zero' gasping for air, body wrack with uncontrollable tremors, lying on his back limp only able to endure the onslaught of pleasure with every hard thrust of Kaname's powerful hips.
'I wouldn't have used that aphrodisiac spell had I know it would be potent enough to affect Kaname, he sobs physically and mentally at a particular hard thrust to an oversensitive spot, curse my curiosity but I'm surprise to still have coherent thought give- '
"uhh-nngh-aahh!" his mind blanks out as another orgasm flood his being, lavender eyes roll back and he finally succumbs to familiar darkness, body spasming.
"Zero, a soft female voice spoke, nurture your hatred as you grow then come find and kill me, try and break free of our bond with eyes full of despair that sees only me, the voice grew wistful, please grow quickly."
'Zero' jolts awake, 'that woman's voice, how unpleasant, to hear first thing in the morning' he stares at the wall unseeing. Dreaming of Zero's memories about that night is an unwelcome side effect in suppressing him.
With a sigh he moves to sit up only to realize a strong arm around his waist restrict his movement. Glancing over his shoulder he sees the slumbering figure of Kaname then the memories of what they did hours ago came flooding back painting his cheeks a cherry pink.
'Well things had escalated but I accomplish half a goal, Kaname sure was insatiable-besides the aphrodisiac-though I'm surprise he stayed, didn't think he's the cuddling type.'
Carefully 'Zero' remove the arm and climb out of bed then went to take a shower, 'unlike Zero, I go after what I want regardless of what others think.'
Clean and dressed minutes later the ex-human leaves without alerting the pureblood.
Heading to the main gate, the silverette encounter someone troublesome who he wanted to avoid at all cost, Toga Yagari.
"Hello my dumb pupil, the hunter greets with a lit cigar between thin lips, you seem to be doing well, Zero."
"I could say the same, master, it's been years but why are you here?"
"Is that anyway to greet your master after so long, brat" a gush of cold wind blows by rustling their clothes and hair.
'I don't have time for this' "I'm in a hurry so whatever business you have with me can wait" he walks pass gaze straight ahead.
Toga shift watching the teen leave his single eye narrow slightly, 'he's doing much better than expected but he seems off, he removes the cigar to release a puff of smoke, has his sense of fashion always been like that?' his brows wrinkle slightly.
The silverette wore a tight grey crop-top exposing pale midriff, black low hip leather pants with black retro combat boots and a knee length, slim fit trench coat.
'Zero' walk down a dark flight of steps to a single door, pushing it open reveal a dimly lit small antique and trinkets shop with a hooded figure sitting behind a counter, reading a book.
"Haven't seen you in a while, Roze" (pronounce Ro-zu) the male speaks without looking up.
"Been busy, 'Zero' walk the short distance after closing the door to stand before the male, are those mine?" the hunter motion to the two rectangular wooden boxes, one atop the other, on the counter.
"Check and see" the male reply turning a page.
'Zero' remove the top box lid revealing blank ofuda papers, unlabeled bottle of ink and an antique calligraphy brush. Close and putting it aside he lifts the second lid, twin custom-made, dragon ceremonial, curved daggers, on red silk cloth greet lavender eyes.
Satisfy the hunter close then place the first box back atop the second. Taking out a thick envelope from his coat pocket, the silverette place it on the counter before the silent male.
"It's all there, check if you want"
"You have always pay without problem so there's no need, the male place down his book then picks up the envelope pocketing it, besides you know what will happen if you try to steal from the black market."
"Are you threatening me, vampire" the hunter smiles sharply.
"I wouldn't dream of it, he raises both hands in surrender, just a friendly reminder."
"What about my throwing knives?"
"You can pick them up in a week"
Without another word 'Zero' picks up the boxes then leaves, up the stairs and out the front of an abandon building.
The midmorning sun reflect off silver hair, leisurely the ex-human walk back to town from the outskirts.
'Zero' stop at a ramen stan for an early lunch, 'all my muscles are sore because of Kaname, he slurps some noodles, I thought becoming an official vampire plus the hunter genetics would prevent such after effect with the boosted healing factor but like always reality is disappointing' he grouches.
After paying for his meal the teen went back to the Academy.
He locks himself in his dorm room to finish preparations for the night (and to avoid a certain male for the time being). Thirty minutes before midnight 'Zero' stands in a clearing farthest away from Academy buildings to prevent others from stumbling upon him, drawing a (decent size) sigil in the ground.
Twenty minutes later 'Zero' stand outside the circle inspecting his work then walk over to the box he brought back. Inside is one of the twin daggers and six marked ofuda papers.
Moving back to the circle with the papers in one hand and the dagger in the other, 'Zero' use the blade to cut his palm letting the blood fall inside the circle that instantly glow red at the first drop.
After a couple seconds he licks his injury as it slowly heals then throws the papers that drifts elegantly to land at six points of the circle. On contact an ominous wind ruffles the surroundings greenery and the red glow turn black. Black lightening spark across the surface then dark smoke like shadow starts pouring out from the center to cover it entirely, stop at the edge then cave in on itself, taking the form of an animal.
A minute later a large wolf (the height of his chest) coat the color of night, stand in the circle staring at the hunter with glowing golden eyes.
"A success, now to give you a name to complete the contract, he thinks for a moment observing the summoned creature, Kumaru, from now on your name is Kumaru."
The wolf glows a dark lavender accepting the contract.
Reaching out a hand 'Zero' pets his new companion, 'waah so soft!' he nuzzles the wolf's fur while the familiar enjoys his master's attention, wagging his tails (three of them).
"It's time for us to head back, you can stay in my shadow, Maru" the wolf gives a low rumble then jump into 'Zero's' shadow.
Satisfy the hunter watch the sigil vanish without a trace then turn and walk away, while passing a tree 'Zero' rips off a marked ofuda (he'd placed earlier) causing the others around the area (in a circle formation as a barrier) to ignite in blue flames and burn to ash leaving no evidence.
'Another phase of my plan complete with the shadow wolf by my side' the rest of the night, before 'Zero' went to sleep, test the extent of his control on his familiar's dark element.
To be continue…
