A/N At Bottom
Lets GO!!
Chapter Twenty Eight
Every window in the mansion and every house within a three block radius blew outward, covering the city in glittering shards of glass when the bond winked out completely, Kaname's blood thirsty aura bursting forth with a sound almost like a sonic boom. Ichijo grimaced as some of the glass flew past his face, leaving trails of blood in their wake. The roar that followed made even Ichio's eyes widen, the smugness replaced by fear. Kaname rose over them darkly, seeming to grow, his face a rictus of unholy rage. Ichijo flinched when his King's eyes passed over him to settle on his grandfather.
They were completely black and only the beast lived there.
Ichijo saw when the decision to go to his mate won over his desire to spill Ichio's blood. Black bats filled the foyer for a split second before they were gone with a whoosh of air, leaving only he and Ichio in the hall. He turned on his grandfather who was looking at where Kaname had stood, his eyes immense with residual terror. Ichijo wondered if his eyes looked similar. Of all the years he'd spent by Kaname's side, he'd never seen him in such a state. He jerked Ichio forward by the lapels on his coat.
"What have you done!?"
Ichio tried to yank back but Ichijo held him fast, his own eyes filled with anger. "Only what needed to be done." He spat back. "Your King is no longer a valid option to hold the throne."
"Grr!" Ichijo tossed him aside and ran back into the ballroom, to the find the inhabitants sweeping glass from their clothes and picking nobles off the ground. The night class met him at the door except for Aidou. When he gave an inquiring look, Rima gestured idly to the floor, shaking her head. "He fainted when Kaname-sama's aura swept through the room."
Ichijo made a sound of disgust. "Wake him up, we have to get back to campus. I suspect something happened to Zero."
Rima looked behind him. "Where is Kaname-sama?"
"I'll explain on the way."

The entire side of the building caved when the colony of bats flew into it. Kaname thumped to his feet beside an unconscious Seiren, kneeling down to lift her head slightly. Blood covered one half of her face and body. Her breathing was irregular. Kaname resisted the beast for the moment trying to wake her gently, though it took every ounce of will power he had or would ever posses. The blood in his veins shrieked with the cutting of the bond and it hurt worse than anything he had ever felt. A hot agony that boiled beneath his skin that could only be quieted by Zero. "Seiren! Seiren!"
She roused slowly, clearly damaged more than his eye could detect. Only one of her eyes opened and she gasped at the sight of him. "Kaname-sama." Her voice was a mere whisper. "Rido was here, took Zero."
"Where?" He demanded, all gentleness forgotten at the statement. "Where did he take him?"
She shook her head painfully. "I don't know. Masked his presence. Following the wrong one this entire time. The only way I knew he was here was by following Zero. He is not working by himself."
"Of course he isn't." Kaname cursed grimly as she fell unconscious again. He was still holding the beast back by sheer mental force as he picked her up and made for the school. Cross' door fell inward with a crash under the weight of his aura when he alighted on the steps. Cross was there in an instant, Toga on his heels. Cross' face blanched at the sight of him and he rushed forward to grab Seiren. Toga grabbed him.
"What in the hell happened?" The vampire hunter demanded and Kaname thought he heard a thread of panic in his voice. Having hunters so close when the beast was fully reigning, the agony of the cut just on this side of being unbearable caused him to hiss at the hunter. Toga snatched his hand back, cursing, gun in his hand in an instant. "What the hell has gotten into you?"
"Zero." Always shrewd even with his idiotic behavior, Cross saw it at once. "Something happened to Zero. I wouldn't get too close right now. Take her to the infirmary right away."
His eyes were grim as he watched the beast winning, overtaking Kaname once again. "Go. Now."
"But-"
"Don't worry, I'll be fine. GO."
Toga found himself obeying, his feet moving.
Cross reached out taking up Toga's previous position, grabbing Kaname's shoulder as he turned to leave. Cross stepped to the side neatly, as a claw whipped up and out, a move that spoke of confidence and long practiced skill. He caught it as it flashed out, tapping a suddenly glowing palm against Kaname's heart. Kaname stopped abruptly as luminous strands wrapped around him before sinking beneath his skin. He coughed as the pain subsided slightly and his eyes lightened. He looked at Cross with surprise as the beast retreated, though it roar didn't quiet at all.
"What did you do?"
Cross smiled slightly, though it didn't reach his eyes. "I tamed the beast within." He studied Kaname. "But not for long. I would say a day at the most. I need you thinking rationally right now. Come in and tell me what happened. I can help."
The beast within him snapped at that idea, wanting to go after his mate now. Cross shook his head. "You can't just go rushing in blindly. Do you think they would hide him in plain sight? With you on their heels. We need a strategy."
As much as he hated to admit it, Cross made perfect sense. With great, huge reluctance he followed the former hunter to the infirmary. Toga was leaning over Seiren, wiping the blood from her face with a towel. She was still deeply unconscious. Toga looked up when they walked into the room.
"She was beat up pretty badly. If you want her to heal she's going to need blood."
An unanimous, unspoken agreement rippled between the three men. Kaname stepped forward as Toga moved back, and sat on the edge to the bed, one sharp nail opening a vein. He let the pureblood of his line drip onto her lips, nodding in satisfaction when she stirred at the smell. Her grip was surprisingly strong where she his arm to keep it still before her teeth sank into soft skin. Concern replaced the ire that Kaname felt as she began to suck rapidly. Finally she fell back on the bed limply. All of them watched as her wounds began to heal like a miracle. It took five minutes but she was wholly conscious. Toga glanced at Kaname when she sat up, her features hard.
"That's some blood you have. I swear she had internal bleeding."
"Hunter-san is correct." Her voice was weak, and she was moving slowly for Seiren but her voice was resolved, her eyes angry. "They worked me over pretty good."
"Who?" Kaname asked before Cross or Toga could open their mouths. "Who did this to you?"
Seiren's eyes flicked to Cross and Toga. "Rido, level E's and….…Kaito."

It wasn't the cold that woke him. Nor the rankness of the place where he was. No, the sheer torment that battered his body jerked Zero out of the trauma induced sleep. His eyes flew open and he howled, like the animal that prowled through his skin. The flesh of his throat was raw. The pain beat him from every corner of his body but it was second to the horrible realization that he couldn't feel Kaname. His scream bounced off the wet stone walls and he surged forward, fury joining the anguish that was coursing through his veins.
The metal cuff, attached to the chain yanked him back against the wall and he groaned when his back hit. It didn't matter, he geared up for another rush, aiming at the figure that looked like Kaname but wasn't.
Rido stood just out of reach, terrible anger arranging what should have been handsomeness into something ugly and twisted. He threw the figures shrouded in shadows behind him a look of disgust.
"It seems he cannot stand the separation, even though it is only temporary."
"He is a young vampire and a level D at that. Did you expect him too? Kuran may be handling it better but only because he is a pureblood and older."
He knew that voice. Deep in the recesses of his maddened mind he placed it. He howled again when he couldn't get to that person. He was no longer anything even remotely resembling a human.
"I can bring him back to his senses, but it won't last long with him. The best thing would be to kill him now."
"No."
"What's the point of keeping him alive?"
Rido stooped down to peer into the incapacitated Vampire Hunter's face, filled with snapping teeth and eyes the color of pitch. He smiled. "I have my reasons. Do it."
Zero snarled as another figure came forward, hands glowing softly but the face still cloaked in shadows. It stopped when claws slashed at the air between them. "Hold him."
Suddenly he couldn't move, the feeling reminiscent of earlier and he bucked against the invisible hold forcefully. He began to howl again, filling the stone room with a cacophony of sound. All of the figures in the room winced at the din.
"Hurry." Rido growled. "Before I really do kill him."
A hands tapped the place over his heart and the pain subsided somewhat but not really enough. He slumped forward gasping. He only allowed the peace for a few seconds before he was once again struggle against his bonds. His pain ridden eyes met Rido's. "What have you done?" His voice was gravelly, his throat torn from his screams. "I'm going to kill you as soon as I get out of here."
Rido smirked. "Do you really think you're getting out of here? If you do, you'll be going to a place I choose specifically. And believe me you won't like it. By then I'll be your new master."
"I'd rather serve in hell." He snapped then arced in pain as that little defiance caused him more pain. Every inch of his skin was burning, the mark felt like a brand. His teeth broke through the skin of his lip as he bit back another scream. The place where he could usually feel Kaname felt like a gaping hole and whatever the shadowy figure had done to him was unraveling swiftly. "Kaname is going to come here and when he does all of you are going to die. But you I'm going to kill personally."
"Oh?" Rido suddenly sounded amused and that scared Zero more than anything could. "And how is he going to find you?"
"Baka." He gritted through the pain. "Don't think that you vampires can hide anywhere Kaname can't find you. He knows every vampire stronghold there is."
"And what makes you think you're in a vampire stronghold?" Rido asked curious. "Do you think I'm that stupid? To hide you somewhere where he can get you back? You underestimate me. You both did. That's why you're in the situation you're in."
Zero's mind began to work rapidly in his unstable sanity. "Where are we?"
Rido laughed outright. "Like I'll tell you that. You're lucky to be alive. Think about that." He stood back up, gesturing to another shadow.
As the figure came forward, Zero realized that his senses had been restored. It was a vampire, the presence that was walking to join their little demented group at the wall, but something else. Something familiar he associated with deep within himself. He felt like the floor beneath him was no longer there and he was falling into black surrealism as the dim light in the room outlined the face. He blinked rapidly not believing what he was seeing.
"Kaito?"
KZ
Speechlessness followed the statement, leaving the room in dead silence. All three men looked at her in disgusted disbelief. Toga backed away from her like she was a black mamba. Kaname felt the beast tearing at the ropes holding his bond.
I should have just killed him when I had the chance.
Cross was the first to speak, and for the first time Kaname saw the formidable hunter that he hid under his idiot camouflage. "Are you telling me Kaito was with Rido? And that they kidnapped Zero."
Everyone in the room flinched at the lethal tone underlying that voice. Something they'd never heard before. At that moment if Seiren could have a made an educated guess she would have said he was more dangerous than Kaname at the moment. Fear unfurled inside her as she was faced with the deadliest hunter there'd ever been. She nodded slowly.
"And that's not all. He's a vampire."
Toga cursed violently. "I don't believe that."
"I'm not mistaken." Seiren said coolly, keeping her eyes on Cross, whose face looked like the devil incarnate. The vampire in her trembled at the fury and she grasped now why he was used as a threat to young vampires all over the world. She almost felt his blade at her throat from just a look. Then he blinked and it was gone. She shrank back, because his aura hadn't changed a bit. She wondered idly how she'd failed to notice this before.
Because we all saw what he wanted us to see and we all wanted to believe that was what he was.
She turned her head to say something to Kaname and shook her head in exasperation. He was gone. The place where he'd been standing just moments ago empty as if he'd never stood there.
"Well, now." Cross said dryly to no one in particular. "I told him we needed a strategy."
KZ
His horror was so great it eclipsed the physical torment and for a moment he was totally free of pain. Sadness followed closely. Kaito met his eyes calmly, but the Kaito he'd once known was no longer there. A self satisfied, smug creature stared back at him.
"Kaito why?" He whispered. And his sanity unraveled completely.
KZ
Whooo! I hoped you enjoyed that as much as I did!!~~~I can safely say that Kaname's chessboard was thrown out of the window!!~~
UNTIL NEXT TIME…….
