Chapter 11
Others noticed the lovers absence, another sun set and no one had seen either since previous night.
Aido had gone to look for their Moon Dorm President in the afternoon, but his office was empty, his bedroom door locked and sealed. Assuming the pureblood wanted to be left alone, the usual trouble maker leave then warn the others.
Now, hours later, minutes to attend classes, and Lord Kaname still hadn't left his room, has the blond worried.
"Lord Kaname" Aido knocks on the brunette's door, daring to continuously call his name for a minute.
The bedroom door fly open suddenly halting his persistently knocking, only for electric blue eyes to widen at seeing a disheveled, shirtless Kaname glaring at him.
"What is it Hanabusa?" Kaname grit out irked. He'd been trying to ignore the interruption, in the middle of coaxing another round with his mate, but the silverette got annoyed and push him away to go answer.
"Its time for class, the blond swallow nervous, quickly composing himself, the others are waiting for you down stairs"
"I won't be attending, he run long fingers through silk hair, I'm sure you all can manage without me tonight, I have important matter to attend"
"May I ask what it is, Lord Kaname, maybe I could be of assistance" tone hopeful.
"That won't be necessary" pale arms slip around Kaname's waist from behind, then a familiar face peek out, stunning the blond.
"Didn't I tell you not to move from the bed" Kaname scold pulling the silverette to his front, wrapping his arms around Zero's waist.
"You were taking too long shooing him away, Zero rest disheveled head on his mate's chest, then shift sapphire slit eyes to the blond, what does he want?" he pouts up at Kaname.
Aido feel a chill down his spine at the unfamiliar cold eyes of the familiar hunter, his gaze, contemplating whether to squash a bug under foot.
"Its time for classes, he came to fetch me, Kaname informs softly caressing pale cheek, worry not I won't be attending, we still have a lot to catch up on" Kaname kiss away Zero's pout ending his sentence in a purr.
Aido feel like he stepped into a different universe, witnessing the once hated enemies/rivals behaving like a love sick couple. He's also trying not to stare at the ex-human's state of undress. Wearing only a white long sleeve shirt (Kaname's shirt) that barely reached mid-thigh coverage, half buttoned, slipping off one shoulder (showing off love bitten skin) in a sensual display.
"Why are you still here, Zero's voice snap blue gaze up (he didn't realize he was staring at the hunter's smooth thighs), meeting unnatural slit eyes, narrowed in annoyance, scurry along now, don't disturb us, unless the world is imploding" tone taunting.
Aido's gaze shift to his pureblood leader, imploring, too thrown off-kilter to react to the baiting remark, for an explanation of the situation. Only to see a frown of displeasure.
"Did you not hear what my Zero said, burgundy eyes narrow, leave"
"Bu-yes, he bow at the intense glare, as you wish, Lord Kaname" Aido bolt, befuddle-reeling, trying to process what that was. 'Lord Kaname and Kiryu-I thought they despise each other and is in-love with Yuki Cross-what the hell happened?!'
The noble vampire made his way downstairs then gave his fellow classmates an excuse for their leader's absence. The others notice his unusual quiet disposition for the remainder of the night. Some curious and a bit concerned at what could've caused it, had tried prying the answer from him. But the blond snapped, wanting to be left alone, raising brows and suspicions.
Yuki went seeking Kaname, after night classes ended, only to find the pureblood hadn't attend. When she'd ask Hanabusa the reason (since the others ignored her presence) the vampire's jaw clench then gave a clipped response, tone dismissive, not meeting her gaze.
Yuki felt he was hiding something, he'd seemed guilty about something, reluctant she left. After one final patrol, Yuki head to the chairman's house, wondering what Zero's making for dinner. (The only good thing that came out of the ingrate's change, is his increase willingness to cook.) At the thought she then realize Zero hadn't been present all day.
'Well that's not unusual, probably slacking off somewhere' she scoff, closing the entry-door behind.
Heading to the kitchen, she sees the chairman at the stove instead of Zero.
"Dinner is almost ready, he turn at her entry, oh, Yuki, Zero's not with you?" he frowns.
Zero falls back onto his mate's bed, pulling a willing pureblood along. Kaname seeks Zero's lips passionately, pulling his hips back until the head of his erection stretch Zero's entrance, he trust forward with force, to the hilt. Zero's eyes roll to the back of his head, pale legs around Kaname's waist, loose all strength, as a powerful orgasm (of many) surge throughout his being (again) which reflects through their bond, triggering his mate's.
The sensation of Kaname flooding his inside (again) after so many rounds, and feeling each other's every heighten touch, the pleasure rush intensify, enticing another, dry, orgasm.
The ancient dragon feels boneless, his hands around Kaname's neck slip off to land on silk sheet. Sapphire slit gaze, unfocused, stare at the ceiling. Zero feels the weight of his mate ease down gently, caging him, contentment and bliss fog his mind.
Kaname ease up to admire his debauch mate under him then roll over on his back, pull Zero to rest on his chest, still connected. Relishing in the afterglow of their, many, orgasm for a blissful minute, the couple fall asleep shortly.
"When we grow up we'll be like mother and father"
Yuki rolls over in bed, face damp with sweat.
"You'll be mine!" a bloody hand reached for her.
Yuki jolts awake with a distress scream. Sitting up she grip her head, pupil blown with fear, "another nightmare, ugh my head" she groans.
During morning class the brunette notice Zero's continued absence. Suddenly a splitting headache register, with a gasp she collapse on her desk, causing a stir.
"Lord Kaname, Aido cautiously knock on the bedroom door, I have something urgent to report, when no answer came, after a moment of hesitation, try again, Its Yuki Cross, she fainted during class" he wait with baited breath.
A tense minute later Kaname open the door, dressed in loose clothes, step out then close it behind.
"Is she ok, he walk to sit behind his desk, expression relax, its nothing too serious, is it?"
"No, just a bout of fatigue, however Ichiru Kiryu had tried to feed her this" Aido move closer, taking a vile from his pocket then hand it to the brunette.
Kaname takes the item, hold it up, between thumb and index finger, inspecting it, "how troublesome, good job confiscating it, had he succeed, he trail off, there's a task I want you to do" gripping the vile between clench fingers, with a surge of energy, it disintegrate.
"I'll obey your every words, Lord Kaname"
"Assign around the clock guards to her, he rearrange chest pieces on the board, a cheek resting on his wrist, as you know I'm quite occupied to do so myself, a small smile further enhance his features, make sure they don't slack in their duty or there'll be consequences"
"As you command" Aido bow but remain in position.
"Is there something else?" Kaname ask gaze still on the board, using a finger to rock the queen piece, side to side.
"Forgive me if I'm overstepping, he straighten, but may I ask what your relationship with Kiryu is, unfamiliar slit eyes came to mind, Is he even Zero Kiryu?"
"Its fine, he tip over the queen beside the knight, it would seem strange from outsider's perspective, his gaze raise to the blond, he is Zero Kiryu and we are soulmates, he watch the blond go sheet white, that's a long story, he dismiss nonchalant, going forward be careful how you interact with my mate-the others as well but I'll warn them myself, his temperament isn't what it used to be, fondness lace his voice, it would be unfortunate to loose a loyal subject because of poor conduct" amusement coat his tone.
Aido feels lightheaded, ears ringing at the pureblood's words, wondering if he's dreaming or having a nightmare, "b-but what about Yuki-I thought-how did this happen?" he ends weakly, face a mix of emotions.
"That's not something you should be worrying about, Hanabusa, Kaname leans back, resting his palms on lap, eyes narrow, you may go."
Aido obey after another bow at the pureblood's dismissive tone. He know the others will loose their minds when they find out this sudden development.
Kaname swerve his chair to stare out the window, conflicted on how to treat Yuki henceforth. He never was in love with her, vampire Kaname tried using her to fill the void in his being. Vampire Kaname despise his kind, especially himself.
Every vampire, without exception, crave the blood of their beloved, it alone can fully sate their thirst. Vampire Kaname never craved Yuki's, his true motive in pursuing her was because of a vision he saw of her before going to eternal sleep. When she'd been born and a few years past, her familiar features led vampire Kaname to believe her his destine mate. So when the talk of their marriage was mention he gladly agreed.
But things are different now. Now he has memories of a previous life, where he was blissfully happy with his true dragon mate. Rosalg Dloc Nezorf, now Zero Kiryu is priority number one.
"Let's not overthink, he sigh, treating her as family should suffice, she is my descendant after-all" besides he did promise Haruka and Juri he would protect the girl.
Pale arms slip around broad shoulders from behind, "that sounds comforting" Zero hums, swerve the chair around then sit in Kaname's lap.
"You're awake already" tone questioning, wrap his arms around Zero's waist.
"I couldn't sleep without your warmth" silver head rest on a shoulder.
"Forgive me, Hanabusa came by about Yuki" rubbing a hand up and down Zero's back.
"I heard, he fiddle with a button on his mate's shirt, the seal is unraveling rapidly, I'm guessing you'll have to break it soon"
"Sooner than expected" Kaname confirms.
They lap into comfortable silence, enjoying each others presence.
Kaien Cross sat behind his desk, forehead resting on interlaced fingers, worried. Yuki's seal is deteriorating and Zero's change behavior (even if sudden, came to terms with his past, finally moving forward, giving vampires a chance and being nicer to others) towards her is concerning. He doesn't know what to do. And he still feel Zero's presence in the Moon Dorm, for hours now, and been informed that Kaname locked himself in his room, which is concerning.
'Well, the others hadn't made any complaints about a fight yet and the Dorm hasn't been destroyed so I'm sure Kaname has everything under control' he gets up after a deep weary sigh, grab his apron and a basket then head to his garden to de-stress.
A while later, Ichiru walking close by, lost in thoughts, encounters Kaien, heading back from gardening with a basket full of freshly picked vegetable, who then invite him over for dinner.
"We'll be arriving soon Senri" Takuma inform his possessed mate, tense from the driver's seat, of a barrowed vintage family car.
"I wonder what my dear nephew will do now that I'm finally back" the redhead mix colored eyes gleam in mischief, lounging in the backseat with a smirk.
The Moon Dorm door open and loitering vampires see Senri walk in with Takuma close behind.
Rima, lying on a couch nearby, sit up at their presence, on closer inspection the model's eyes narrow.
"Who...are you?" she demand from the quiet imposter.
To be continue…
