All the kings men

Chapter 2: The Servant

“And how are you going to do that?” A voice asked, deep and sudden, yet firm.

Zero gave another groan. Another vampire had joined the party…Kaname.

Adio stepped back automatically. “Kaname...” He said; a little angered at being caught.

Kaname bowed his head a little. “What are you doing to Kiryu-sama?” He used the older power of -sama as a little stressed.

“I am…” He had no answer though. He looked rather, embarrassed at the act he was in the process of doing.

“I understand that you may have feelings for this boy…but you must not go about them like this.” He looked at Zero, “Let him go.” He said.

Adio glared at Kaname, then he gave a hiss as he let Zero fall to the ground, the ice disappearing within seconds. “Not fare.” He said through clenched teeth.

Kaname took a step closer to Zero, “I warned you…did I not?” He asked. He then turned to Adio, “I will deal with you later, get back to class, now.” He said.

Zero stood up, watching as Adio stepped back into the darkness, his eyes watching Zero the entire time. Then he was gone as he headed for the school.

There was a small beeping sound. Zero looked down, remembering Yuki’s call. He looked over at Kaname, he could just let the phone ring. Yuki would be worried, and then send someone out to find him.

“Are you going to keep her waiting?” Kaname asked, his eyes glaring at Zero.

Zero gave a sigh. The vampire was smarter than he had thought. He picked up his phone, “Hello?” He asked.

“Zero…are you alright?” The girl asked.

Zero frowned, but gave no hint of it, “I’m fine. Everything seems quiet. I’ll be back when I should be.” He said, turning the phone off as Yuki said good bye.

“Very good...” Kaname said, “You could have told her I was with you. I don’t mind her knowing.” His eyes shinned in the pale moon’s glow, “Walk with me?” He asked the boy.

Zero gave a snort, “No. I have work to do.” He began to walk away.

“I skipped class to come out here…do you not want to hear my reason?” He asked. He gave a gentle laugh as he began to walk to the frozen form of Zero.

Zero gave a sigh, “You have five minutes.” He said.

Kaname walked up next to him, “I need more than that.” He said. He looked over at Zero.

Both were silent for a long time. Kaname realized that he was going to have to talk first, knowing that Zero hated him with every once of energy his body produced every second. He gave a troubled sigh over this. “Do you like Yuki?” He asked.

‘Why is everyone asking me this question?’ He thought as he looked around. “No… I look at her like a sister, nothing more.” He looked over at Kaname, “What do YOU think of her?”

Kaname thought if over for a second, “I love her…but not in the way one lusts for another.” He looked over at Zero, “I love her like a sister.” He watched Zero’s face.

“You only like her then?” Zero’s stunned face gave a lot away.

Kaname laughed, “Did you think something else? Are you not happy to hear it?” He asked.

“I don’t care.” Zero said hastily. “Is this all you wanted to talk to me about, Yuki?” He asked; a little annoyed now.

Kaname stopped quickly, “No.” He said truthfully. He looked over and saw a bench near a light placed on the school grounds, “Sit down.” He took a seat and noted that Zero didn’t sit down. “Why do you not sit?” He asked. He watched as Zero flinched a little at the thought of sitting. “Do you not sit because I am a vampire, or is there another pain in your body?” He asked the boy.

Zero felt his face turn red. ‘Why are vampires so god-damned astute with things like this?’

Kaname watched, “Do you love him?” He asked.

Zero glared down at him, “What are you getting at?” He asked, defensive tone coming out strongly.

“So there is someone?” Kaname said, smiling as he figured out Zero’s problem.

“What? No.” Zero said, turning away. “It’s none of your business.” He said.

Kaname slammed a fist down on the bench, “It is, if it’s another vampire.” He looked at Zero, standing up, “Is it Adio?” He asked. There was a hint of anger in his eyes.

Zero matched his stare and looked at him, “What if it is? It’s of no importance to you.”

Kaname gave a growl, “He is so lowly…” He said.

“It’s none of your business. I hate vampires anyway, why on earth would I-”

“Sleep with one?” Kaname asked, finishing his sentence.

Zero’s face grew dim, “That, or even hang out with one.” He began to turn, “It doesn’t matter. Let it go. It’s not a vampire, so why do you care?” Zero asked.

Kaname followed him, a little anger boiling inside him as he followed the boy, “Well…its not that it’s a vampire…” He was quiet. “Who is it?” He asked.

Zero turned to face him. He saw the look on Kaname’s face, “It doesn’t matter.” He said, his voice low. “Just never mind. I have work to do.” He turned away, “I have to go.” he said, leaving Kaname in a world of anger and confusion.

When morning came, Yuki felt better, she helped Zero with the guardian’s duty and even yelled at girls who were trying to get too close to the vampires.

Zero stayed his same, quiet and slow self, not wanting any attention from Adio or Kaname at the moment. He looked to see Adio looked across from him, only looking though, not doing anything more. He watched as the boy was then distracted by something. He walked off, paying more attention to the thing than Zero. Zero smiled at the thought of no one looking at him.

Till Kaname came by… Or at least his voice… “You’re doing such a good job Miss Disciplinary.” He smiled at her and then walked away, heading off towards Zero.

Zero looked in front of him, moving the vampires away from the rest of the group. “Hello Zero.” Kaname said, his voice even. “Did you get any sleep?” He asked a little worry in his voice.

Zero looked at him, “I’m fine. I got plenty. Keep moving.” He said as he motioned the vampire on ward.

Kaname watched Zero as he drew back, knowing the boy wasn’t going to talk to him anymore.

******

‘What could Master Toga want?’ He thought to himself. It was late too. The master was in for a teacher who was out. He was also teaching the night class, as an added help to keep the vampires in line. He had asked Zero to come down during the night.

Zero was now walking the halls, it had been a day since the incident with his master and he was hungry again. But he guessed that he could go another day without eating. He looked down one of the halls.

Zero could hear a muffled voice. It sounded familiar and he wanted to know what was going on. He drew closer to the Master’s door as he heard Kaname’s voice as well.

‘Kaname is inside with the master?’ Zero thought, standing next to the room, only listening, not daring to look inside.

“I wanted to mention Zero Kiryu.” Kaname’s voice said in very controlling tone. “I want to know something about him.” He was silent. “I know you are an old friend of his.”

“And how do you know that, vampire?” Toga’s voice was sharp and anger filled.

“Because…” Kaname hissed with a slight anger in his voice, “I can smell him on you.” He said.

There was silence then the master seemed to laugh a little. “What do you want to know?” He asked the vampire.

“I want to know who he takes interests in…and I need to know if he is doing well with the blood pills.” Kaname said, trying to shake off the first question.

Toga had caught it though and was now smiling, “His interests…you mean like, dating?” He laughed with a little venom in his voice, “Why would a vampire want to know that?”

There was silence. Then Kaname’s voice broke and said, “I wanted to know what his standing with Yuki was.” He said.

Zero gave a small grunt, ‘You know my standing with her.’ He strained his ears again, ‘What on earth could Kaname want with information on me?’ He listened again.

“I don’t know what they are doing. I don’t care about the girl. Zero is the only one who is important to me. That’s why I’m giving him MY blood.” Toga said, a little high and mighty in his tone.

Zero felt his face turn red as his master let the words slide out of his mouth.

Kaname’s anger flared and Zero felt the odd aura coming from him, “You shared blood with him?” He hissed, “That’s against school rules.”

“Do I look like I care, vampire? Besides, Zero is mine… what other reason would I have for not helping him?” Toga asked, a little defensive.

Kaname’s voce was low, and filled with anger, “What is he giving you in return?” He said. “Don’t tell me that I’m wrong in assuming this…I know people like you…you wouldn’t be doing it unless you were getting something.”

“Haha…You’re right…In exchange for my blood…Zero’s been--” He was cut off as Zero entered the room.

“You wanted to see me, Master?” He asked, glaring at the two. He wanted it to seem like he had heard nothing.

“Master?” Kaname asked.

“That’s right…I taught him how to kill blood thirsty things like yourself.” Toga said lightly, letting the words slip form his mouth.

Kaname glared at him, “I see.” He walked over to Zero, “Can I speak with you?” He asked.

Zero looked at his master, knowing who he was going to pick, “I can’t. I have been called here for my master.” Zero looked at him, “What is it that you need?” He asked.

Toga looked at him, “It’s not what I need.” He said. He then smiled, “Are you hungry?” He asked.

Zero looked up at his master, his face turning red again, “No.” He said simply. “If that is all you needed me for, then I will take my leave.”

“Not with him.” Toga said, “Stay here, with me, for a little while.” He sat at his desk.

Kaname looked at the man, “Then I can stay as well.” He said. “As a higher power of the night class…I am allowed to be here.” He said.

“But not wanted.” Said Toga with a little anger. He smiled though anyway.

Zero looked at Kaname, who sat there, watching him as he walked around to his master’s side. “What can I help you with?” He asked politely. Kaname moved around in the desk.

“Would you write this sheet of paper on the board?” He asked, handing it over to Zero.

Zero took the paper and saw the writing. “I don’t even do this much work in real school.” He said.

“Don’t complain; be happy I am giving you something besides walking around the school grounds at night by yourself.” He looked over at Kaname for a second, “With all of those vampires around, you never know what could happen.” He turned back to his work though. He looked down at some papers and began circling things.

Kaname watched him, calm coming over him as the man took no mind of Zero as he tried to reach the top of the board.

Zero leaned up as far as he could go, trying to reach the top. He wanted to make sure that there was enough room for everything on the page. As he began writing on the board, he gave a small grunt as he realized that his writing looked a lot like crap.

“I’ll give you a lesson in writing later.” His master joked to him as he stood there.

Zero kept writing, noting that once in a while, there was an odd symbol he had to write. He gave a sigh as he looked at the 6th symbol, “What is this anyway?” He asked.

Kaname smiled at Zero’s question, “It’s a symbol for ‘Love.’” He said.

Toga stood up, walking over to Zero as he tried to make the symbol, “Yes…It is one of the oldest symbols that the vampires use to write to one another. Only a few humans know them.” Stood behind Zero, and reached up, grabbing a hold of Zero’s hand and forcing it to follow his movements, “Don’t fuss, I’m going to show you how to write the symbol of ‘love.’” He gently rubbed his cheek against Zero’s neck, “Let me show you.”

Zero allowed for his master to lead his hand. He gave a shudder though as his master began to touch him gently with his face. In front of Kaname, this was a little much.

Zero heard a noise behind him as a desk chair moved out, scratching the floor with a loud screeching noise. He and Toga turned, looking at Kaname.

“That is enough teacher.” He said venom in his voice.

Toga laughed lightly, “What are you talking about?” He asked, innocently.

Zero gave a sigh. He kicked the teacher’s desk and then glared at both of them, “That’s enough.” He said, “I have to go…I have…Duties.” He then walked out of the room. He was gone in seconds.

Zero heard only the voice of Kaname as he asked him to wait. He kept going though, running faster as he felt he should have.

Zero ran until he ended up in the Headmaster’s house. He felt safe here. Yuki was already here, getting ready to get some sleep before having to go back out. She looked at him as she passed him, “What’s up Zero, you’re out of breath.” She looked at him as if she was concerned.

Zero looked at her, “I need to stay in shape.” He smiled, lying to her with ease. He thought she knew something for a second, because of her odd silence, but then she smiled, “Go take a shower.” She said gently. “You’ll love the cold water on your body after such a long day.”

Zero noticed that there was something in her voice that hinted to him that she knew he was tired. She said nothing more though, she only walked away, “Good night Zero.” She said.

Zero gave a sigh, “Good night.” He then began to walk over to the shower.

There was a light throbbing in Zero’s head as he bent over the shower head, the cold water hitting down his back and forcing him to become cold all over. He looked down at the ground. ‘Do I like him?’ He asked himself. ‘Could I really have feelings for master Toga?’ He looked at the water that fell from his body.

He tried to find the littlest hint of feelings he felt for the older man. He could sense nothing though. He did earn for him though. It was only faint, something that Zero would be able to just turn away from. He gave a sigh.

He looked up at the shower head, water blinding him. He shut his eyes and felt the pain as the water stung his eyes temporarily. Kaname’s face flashed into his head and he gave a groan, ‘And what’s HIS deal now?’ He asked himself. ‘It’s as if he knows me. He doesn’t though…he doesn’t know shit.’ Zero gave an angry growl and he felt himself hunger. “So hungry.” He said aloud. He bent low in the shower, feeling the pulse of the beast in him grow.

His fear took over him, ‘Yuki’s in trouble.’ He thought to himself. ‘Soon, I’m going to crave for her blood.’ Zero felt the urge in him, a powerful want to kill, want to drink. He gave a small scream, but covered it up with his hand so as not to cause Yuki to hear. Knowing her, she would run right to him.

He crawled out of the shower area, looking for his cell phone. He beeped in a few numbers and called Toga, his master.

“Hello?” Came a worried voice on the other end.

Zero heard his master’s voice, his hunger coming down slightly, “I…Need…you…” He whispered out, trying not to hint the pain he was feeling in his body.

“You didn’t do anything yet…did you?” Came his master’s questioning tone.

Zero breathed out something of a, ‘no.’

“Where are you?” He asked Zero.

“I’m…in the….shower.” He breathed out. “H.M, Cross’s…”

“Yeah…I know.” He said, “Stay there, you’ll be safe there for now.” He said to Zero.

Zero nodded but realized that Toga could not see him. “Okay.” He said. He turned off the cell phone, waiting for Toga to come.

Toga was there in no more then 5 minutes, having ran the entire time. He looked down at Zero, naked in the shower. “Are you okay?” He asked the boy, not getting his clothes wet.

Zero watched as Toga began to take off his clothes, coming into the shower along with the boy.

Toga kneeled down in front of him, looking the boy over, “Do you know how to stop yourself from drinking too much?” he asked.

Zero gave him a slight nod, “Not really.” He said.

Toga smiled, “Figures.” He smiled and came closer, gently brushing Zero’s shoulder, “You never did know self control.”

Zero rose, his body coming to meet Toga’s, “Blood…” He whispered. He began to cry though.

Toga looked at him, “I’ll give you blood.” He bent his neck down.

“I don’t want to drink it…I’m a monster!” He said, his crying now coming out more audibly.

“Zero…” Toga said lowly. “I can take it. I promise.” He said slowly.

Zero looked at him, “It doesn’t change the fact that you’re feeding the very thing you hate.” Zero said with malicious anger.

Toga looked at him, “I love ya’ Zero…Like…” He was silent. Zero was backing away from him. “If you do this, Yuki will get hurt…you know it as well as me.” He said.

Zero’s eyes went wide, his pain in his stomach becoming unbearable. “No.” He said in a small cry.

“Think of it this way: You get blood, I will be ‘cleaning’ your soul.” Toga said as he came closer to the boy. He then drew up to Zero, “Go ahead.” He leaned in, lightly kissing Toga on the cheek, “Take some.”

Zero couldn’t hold in anymore. He leaned over, licking the neck lightly as the man offered him his blood. He sunk his teeth in, getting a moan from the other man. He sucked the blood in deeply, allowing it to leak down his throat as if it were water.

Zero then pulled away, knowing that if he took anymore, he would cause Toga pain.

Toga looked at him, “That’s all?” He asked. He looked over at Zero.

Zero smiled slightly, “It doesn’t hurt?” He asked.

“A little…but it felt really…I don’t know…hot?” He smiled as Zero leaned in again, kissing the man where he was still bleeding faintly.

“I wish I could stop the bleeding.” Zero said lowly as he muttered in his ear.

“It will stop.” He said. He smiled faintly, “You want to go to bed?” He asked the boy.

Zero’s hand shot up, “I want to repay you…Now.” He said. He was looking down at the ground.

“You don’t have to. You must be tired.” Said Toga.

“Master, please…” The boy said, looking up.

“Fine, but we can’t be long…I have to get back to class.” He looked at Zero and gave a small sigh. “What do you want to do?” He asked.

“I know what.” Zero didn’t even really look into his master’s eyes. He bent low over the man, “Something fast and easy.”

Toga gave a moan as Zero took him into his mouth, sucking hard and violently. Toga gasped as he felt teeth softly run along him. He reached around and grabbed a hold of Zero, pumping him gently.

Zero gave a soft moan as he felt himself being taken over by the other man. He breathed onto the head, letting the man stroke him faster. He began to suck harder, letting his teeth occasionally slid against Toga’s shaft.

“Zero…” Toga breathed out. “I’m going to…” He watched as the boy kept sucking, even as he burst into his mouth.

Toga finished Zero off and then began to breathe hard, “You okay?” He asked the boy.

Zero got up, looking at him. Toga moved forward, “Wash your mouth out.” He said. “I don’t know why people always eat that shit.” He squirmed a little as Zero smirked at him.

“Master…Do you love me?” He asked.

Toga looked at him. “Zero…” He looked at the boy, “I do…but…” There was a beeping sound from his clothes that lay outside the shower.

Zero watched as his master got up, “I have to get going. We will talk about this later though. Okay?” He asked.

Zero looked up at him, “Yeah…Bye…Thanks.” He yelled to the man as he got dressed and walked out the door.

The boy let his head hit the shower wall lightly. “Fuck!” He said. He looked over to the other end of the shower, seeing Kaname’s shadow on the wall. He looked out of the shower curtain, there was no one there. He took a breath, shutting the water off. ‘I have to get sleep.’ He thought as he got dressed and began to walk down the hall. ‘Kaname would only laugh if he saw how weak I was getting.’

Zero gave a small sigh as he thought of his dreams. Tonight, they would only have Kaname in them, the vampire haunting every move that he made.
