Bond Of Blood

Ch. 11

Zero slowly walked away from the dorm of the night class, when he and Yuuki had made sure that all of the students had left the dorm, with none of the girls from the day class following them. Since the incident with Aidou, Kaname had been very gentle and protective towards the young blonde, much to Zero’s liking. But this night, he was following Aidou and Kaname, for he had noticed them sneak away from the rest of the group. He made his way into the dark forest, not a sound was to be heard. He knew that Aidou was attracted to Kaname, and probably wanted him to himself, but the sight that met him, was more than he could bear. For there, pressed against a tree, he saw Kaname. But not only that. No, his lips were locked with the lips of the blue-eyed vampire. And then, something inside Zero snapped. He spun around with the speed of lightning, and ran towards his own dorm room, tears making their way down his pale cheeks. He couldn’t believe it! It couldn’t be true! No!

But Zero should have stayed. He should have seen what happened next, for Kaname pushed the blonde vampire away from him so firmly, that he fell to the floor. Pure disgust was painted on Kaname’s face as he looked down at the vampire at his feet. His usually warm and tender eyes were cold as ice, as he bend down and firmly grabbed the other vampire by the throat “Never,” he sneered, his voice just as cold as his eyes “come close to me again… You made me mad, when you attacked Zero… Now, I’m furious!” He raised his voice and firmed his grip even more “You know… That the one in my heart is Zero… Come between us again, and I swear… I will kill you…” With these final words, he let go of the younger vampire, who now gasped for air. Kaname looked at him with disgust, before he turned his back on him and left. He was supposed to meet up with Zero, but he couldn’t find him anywhere. He wasn’t at their usual meeting spot, nor in the stable. Kaname thought for a moment, before heading towards Zero’s dorm room. That was the only place left, where his lover could be.

Zero sat in the bathroom, his back pushed against the wall. His body was shaking, as he raised a knife he had stolen from the kitchen. His mind was blank, the only thing he saw, was Kaname kissing Aidou. He looked down at his bare arm and let the cold blade of the knife push against his pale skin. He hesitated for a moment, but then he cut. The red blood trailed down his skin as he cut again and again and again. His face was twisted in pain and sorrow as he cut deeper and deeper. No, if Kaname wasn’t with him, he wouldn’t stay in the world! He wanted to die. If he couldn’t be with Kaname, he would rather die than be without him. He let a small sob escape his lips, as he cut once again “Ka… Kaname…” His voice was low, filled with sorrow and pain. He felt his body weaken, he closed his eyes, but was pulled back to reality, as he heard a voice from the doorway “Zero! What are you doing?!”

Kaname had finally arrived at Zero’s dorm and slowly entered the room. He looked around, finding no trace of his blonde lover, but then he heard a sound from the bathroom. It sounded like Zero, sobbing his name. He walked towards the room, but stopped instantly by the sight that met him. For there was Zero, sitting on the floor, all soaked in blood “Zero! What are you doing?!” His voice was loud, desperate. He ran to his side, quickly falling to his knees and snatched the knife away from him. Zero just sat there, stunned to see his pureblood lover there. Kaname shook him “Why are you doing this?! Stop it right now!” Zero looked up at him, his lilac eyes now over floating with tears. His lips were shaking “I… Saw you… I saw you with him… With Aidou…” His voice was low and filled with sorrow. Kaname’s eyes widened by his words. He slowly cupped his face in his hands, looking into his eyes of lilac. Those beautiful eyes “Zero… I pushed him away… He was the one kissing me… I refused him…” His voice was now soft as velvet. Zero looked up at him confused “You… Pushed him away..?” Kaname nodded and slowly pulled him close to him, gently pressing his lips against those of his lover. He pulled away, letting a finger remove his tears “I want no one else but you, Zero…” His eyes were warm as these words escaped his lips. Zero looked up at him, then bend his head, as he felt the tears, threatening to come out “I’m… So sorry… Kaname…” He whispered. Kaname just hushed on him, slowly licking the blood away from his damaged arm, so that he could bandage it. When he finally got the wounds clean, he found a bandage in the closet beside the mirror and wrapped it around his lover’s arm. He then picked him up and carried him to the bed, where he put him down and placed himself beside him. He pulled him close to him and pressed his cool lips against those of the blonde teen. If he hadn’t come then, Zero might have been dead. The thought killed him, so he quickly pushed it aside.

Kaname stayed with Zero that night, comforting him, keeping his safe. He would never allow something like that to happen to him again. He would protect him with his life. He slowly looked down at Zero’s sleeping form and brushed some of the white hair away from his pale face. No, he would never let anybody harm this boy. This boy, whom he loved so much.
