Chapter Thirty
"Is it just me or am I the only one scared out of my mind right now?" Yuki asked what she felt was a totally rhetorical question, eyeing Kaname with obvious concern where he stood on the edge balcony, the position he'd taken when he'd returned to the campus. No blood had dripped from the blades of his claws, but she'd smelled it clearly. Still did.
Ichijo didn't turn his head from where he watched and he didn't answer. He, Yuki and Seiren were seated a short distance away, the cold wind not affecting any of them in the least. It couldn't compete with the oppressive, enraged heat of Kaname's aura bearing down on them."He needs to do something soon or he's going to snap." Seiren observed sagely. They could all feel it. He was as taut a newly strung bow."He won't have to wait much longer." Cross said and they all turned in surprise as he and Toga appeared out of nowhere. Seiren shrank back against a little, remembering the side of Cross she'd seen earlier. He looked totally different from the sweetly, oblivious headmaster, his honey blonde hair hanging freely down his back. A slim long sword hung at his hip and it gave her the shivers as she thought of the ways he'd used it. He was dressed in all black and if it were possible, his aura felt as dangerous as Kaname's. She wondered how they had all failed to notice his approach. "Is everyone ready?"Ichijo nodded. "Everyone."Cross returned the nod, not taking his eyes off of Kaname. "Good.I've sent all the day class students to the underground bunker. They all think it's some kind of drill. I just hope they all stay there. How is he doing?"Yuki looked at her adoptive father as astonished as Seiren at the change in him. Then she smiled ruefully at how clueless she'd really been up until now. "Well, aside from the fact that he's totally going to blow soon. I'd say relatively well. And still trying to figure out where they've taken him. I mean it just seems to be-""I know."Yuki jumped. "Damn it! I wish everyone would stop sneaking around!"Kaname was now in their midst and his appearance was still chilling. Gone was the immaculate noble she was so used to seeing. In his place was…. She couldn't find the words to describe it. He felt wild like the storm raging around them, eyes still the pitch black of the darkest part of the night, his hair whipping around his face in a tangled mane. He gazed upon them but seemed to look at a landscape far from where they were. As if he were gazing into the innermost part of himself. And maybe he was. Cross looked at him, eyes narrowed. "And where do you propose they took him?""In the one place we wouldn't think of." Kaname's voice was low and rough, as though the beast were on the verge of crawling out of his skin. "At first that is.""Well, don't keep us in suspense." Toga said gruffly, his usually enmity curbed for the moment. "Where the hell is he?""The Association."Everyone absorbed that, each lost in his own contemplative silence for a moment, none of them really surprised by the revelation. Then Toga nodded, his eyes grim. " Hmph, now that does make sense. I've never liked that bitch of a president or what the Association became under her guidance." His voice was venomous and Yuki thought they would have to stop him from going to kill the president on his own.Cross reached out and gripped Kaname's shoulder as he turned. "You're not going to run of again without a plan?" Furious, shadowy eyes swiveled in his direction. "I don't need a plan. I'm just going to kill whoever's there and take my mate back. Besides I suspect they left him with nothing more than a shadow guard. They're on their way here. ""And what are you going to do about the wards?"Kaname scowled, impatient to be off. "If they've teamed up with Rido, I doubt I'll have to worry about that.""Even with that being said, I think one of us should go with you.""No!" Kaname's voice was sharp with a hostility that Cross knew wasn't directed at himself. "You'll need everyone here to protect the school. They'll be hoping to take you by surprise. Protect the students. We'll be back,""And this time tell him everything." Ichijo ordered and Kaname turned those erie eyes on him."Be content that you have a mate less quarrelsome. One never knows how Zero is going to react. Such a troublesome mate."The wind of his departure set everyone back on their heels."I hate it when he does that." Ichijo sighed looking aggrieved.KxZ"Ah. So you figured it out." Kaito looked up from the stone pillar he was propped against, a sadistic smile turning his face gruesome. "I knew Rido underestimated you way too much."Kaname clicked his claws in answer, his own face expressionless. This close to his mate, the barrier proved to be nothing more than a paper thin hinderance, easily broken. But Zero was still unconscious and the rage he felt at that threatened to sweep his sanity under the carpet. He wanted to raze the building to the ground and make sure that it couldn't ever be erected again."Hand him over and I'll kill you quickly." He offered, all ready anticipating the answer.Kaito pushed away from the pillar, confident smugness radiating off of him. "Oh, I don't think you'll be killing me at all."KxZ"Ready?"Yuki smiled as Ichijo ran a comforting hand down her cheek, not bothering with the answer. He knew the exact state of her emotions as they stood before the gates of the school. Though her perplexity didn't show in her eyes. She avoided looking down to where the Artemis rod where it hung in the holster at her thigh. It responded weirdly to her new state but she hadn't been able to leave it behind. She was still a guardian no matter that she was a vampire now. Her hand brushed across it hesitantly before latching briefly to his. The night class was scattered strategically behind them, with Cross taking point.With you by my side? Always.Ichijo's smile was tender and he couldn't help the short kiss, before he turned to face the gates fully.Cross spoke quietly, unsheathing his sword. "Here they come."KxZZero! Zero!
Zero's eyes snapped open, flickering around the room with instant clarity. The pain that had plagued him on his way into unconsciousness was absent. Except for his head, where Kaito had struck him, though the pain was rapidly fading. He continued to search the room, looking for what had woken him. He sat up in shock, realizing the bond was no longer an empty space at the back of his head but was now pulsing with familiar warmth. He opened himself up to it fully not caring that his relief echoed through the bond like the clear peal of a golden bell. He recoiled at the darkness that saturated the bond. He tried to open the visual aspect of the bond and found the way blocked.Where are you?Very, very close. He stiffened at the hesitation in Kaname's answer.Close? Where? He demanded, the cranial pain fading in the face of his determination. Where am I?I'm standing in front of the Hunter's Association, and you're deep inside."What the fuck?!" He exploded, verbally, the impact of the truth like another slap in the face. Then that would mean….Right. And I'm here to rectify one part of that. Kaname cut in dryly. Speaking of that does, this idiot ever shut up? Kaname finally allowed their link to open fully between them, showing Kaito, his mouth moving and his hands gesturing grandly. Apparently not, Zero answered just as dryly though the anger was like a furious tempest inside his head. Supposedly he's going to take over the world.I got that part. Good, then I can do what needs to be done.Kill-He was cut off as all that darkness barreled down the chain that shackled them together in a rumbling caress. He felt the passage of it like a dark earthquake right before it slammed into him like a boulder. He grunted as he was pushed back agains the wall, the force of it spreading from his center until it suffused his entire being. Kaname's beast, that living hunger rolled through him, gathering the cool essence of his hunter nature as it went so that both were entwined. His cells responded as though heated in a kiln, first melting them melding both together. He writhed against the wall, pain following in the path of the darkness, hardening and reforging his cells, Kaname's blood the glue that held them together. He sent a mental glare down the bond as the pain assaulted him.I'm so going to kill you!Kaito paused in his overlong diatribe, looking at Kaname curiously. He could no longer feel the other's aura, only a deep black hole registered on his senses. Kaname smiled and shrugged a shoulder in casual disregard."Are you finished?""What have you done?" The ex hunter demanded his sable eyes narrowing in suspicion. Kaname affected an air of wonder. "Oh, you are done. I thought you were going to go on forever.""Bastard!" Kaito stalked closer. "I'm going to kill you now."Kaname yawned in boredom. "You couldn't all the other times. What makes you think you can now?"Kaito struck in a mercurial movement, appearing in front of the pureblood as if by magic. "Oh I think I can manage it this time."Kaname blocked the overhand right, barely, still taunting. "I'd like to see you try."This time, Kaito smiled. "Oh, I'll do more than try. And after I kill you, I'll finish Rido off. I wish you could see that part." His hand flashed out and connected with a swift left.Kaname weaved backwards, wiping blood from his split lip, his eyebrow raised mockingly. "A real fight this time. How interesting." Red flared deep within the ebony of his eyes.Zero sat against the wall, stunned as his cells completed their transformation, his dual natures no longer separate. He panted through the change, his mind spinning through the misery of it; tolerating it even as his senses became sharper, his strength replenishing itself gradually. He felt the battle between his pureblood and the ex hunter from a far distance all of his concentration on his own body. Kaname's darkness finally retreated, seeping back down the bond, taking a piece of Zero in the process. With new eyes, Zero watched as his mate underwent the same change, that small piece of Zero changing and merging his own cells while Kaito pummeled him.He stood, not paying attention as his fetters snapped, shattering into little useless shards around his feet. He was vibrant and full of renewed life. And fucking pissed off! What had the damn vampire done to him now? He felt really good, true, but Kaname could have given him a little warning at least! And Kaito! If Kaname didn't snap his neck soon, he was going to do it himself!He was at the barred door of his cell before he'd even realized he'd willed his feet to move. It crashed into the opposite wall under the punishing pressure of his kick. Immediately the sense of Kaname, Her and the tang of blood, assailed his sharpened awareness. His attention took a sudden sidebar and he strode to the next cell over. He felt too invincible to even duck into the room cautiously taking in the room in an instant. His weapons lay on a granite slab situated in the middle of the cell and Ichiru lay just behind it, the spill of his distinctive hair drawing Zero to his side. The cause of the smell of became clear as he rounded the stone table. Ichiru lay in a pool of his own blood, his shirt so saturated with it, Zero couldn't tell where the wound was, though his heart was still beating. He bent over the figure of his brother even as his consciousness split in half.He was acutely aware of Kaname rising stronger than he'd been before, his own pain rapidly fading. And his brother's heartbeat pounded in his ears as he slapped him awake softening the blows so he wouldn't kill him by accident."Ichiru!"Kaname evaded the fist, this time too slow to touch him, savoring the vigor that coursed through him. He laughed at the infuriated scowl on Kaito's face as he tried to figure out what was going on. The residual pain disappeared completely, leaving on exhilaration in its' stead. He was different, the sense of his mate even closer than before, the change reinforcing the bond. Kaito swung again, and missed as Kaname moved, this time attacking.It took several moments to realize that Ichiru was too far gone to wake and Zero hoisted him over his shoulder, ignoring his unconscious moan as he turned to grab Bloody Rose and the knives. A shock of heat rocked through his fingertips as he touched Rose and he almost dropped Ichiru. He drew his hand back quickly, eyes widening as Rose….followed, the usual structured lines of the gun warping as if from an intense fire. It changed the solid weapon to molten liquid that clung to his fingers; wrapped around his wrist, climbed up his arm so that it encased his forearm. He stared in stupefaction as it seeped into his pores, hissing at the burn as it disappeared completely, grafting to his bones. His thoughts were outraged as he turned his focus to his mate.WHAT IN THE HELL DID YOU DO TO ME?!Kaname flinched, knocking Kaito's hand away as it raced towards his face. Can we do this later?, he inquired mildly. I'm really enjoying this fight right now.Zero growled in intense irritation, firming his grip on Ichiru before reaching for the knives.Kaname's satisfaction rose in tandem with Kaito's frustration, as he fended off the lightning quick blows aimed in his direction. He barely bothered to move as each one whipped past his face. His straight jab knocked the ex hunter back and he followed with another to Kaito's ribs, savoring the breaking of bones beneath his knuckles. Before Kaito could recover, Kaname's uppercut slammed into the underside of his chin snapping his head back. Kaito stumbled back from the force of the hits, his expression of disbelief comical.
He couldn't stop the happy laugh, flashing the tips of his fangs. It had been too long since he'd fought like this, without having to hold back. It felt good.
It didn't take Kaito long to recuperate from the savage battering, his broken bones re-knitting right in front of his eyes and he returned with a vicious barrage of palms to Kaname's chest. Kaname allowed himself to be pushed backwards several steps, letting Kaito under his guard, testing his hardiness before abruptly locking slender fingers around his wrist like steel coils. He pulled him further in, throwing him off balance at the same time he threw his head forward. His forehead crashed into his nose, and the crunch of it breaking was his second favorite symphony. The first being Zero's moans in the throes of sex. His laughter and Kaito's grunt of pain made it even sweeter.
He paused as he felt the echo of pain radiate up his arm. It caused him to concentrate on Zero with curiosity for a brief moment and he watched in astonishment as the liquid metal slid up his arm.Zero, what-He caught Kaito's fist a mere breath from his own nose, returning to the fight abruptly. He grinned and whirled, slamming his elbow into Kaito's throat and then his unprotected sternum, drinking in his gasp of agony as something inside him collapsed. The ex hunter dropped to the ground, his voice wheezing out of his abused throat."Why in the fuck can't I just kill you?!"Kaname stooped in front of him. "I see why you thought that you could. But didn't anyone ever tell you that true power trumps artificial power every time?" He held up his hands, allowing his claws to lengthen once more, not surprised at all to see them tipped with steel.Really, I should have done this fusing a long time ago.He wrapped them slowly, deliberately around Kaito's throat, enjoying the feel of each separate tendon beneath his fingers; not breaking eye contact. "I'll give your regards to Rido." His other hand punched through Kaito's chest, the steel tips clenching around his heart. He pulled it out with a swift, surgical tug. His claws tore through soft throat muscles at the same time and he relished Kaito's last gurgle of protest before he was decapitated. He held the still beating heart in one palm and the torn throat in the other as Kaito's body flopped uselessly to the ground. He flexed his will, a deep, deep serenity settling inside of him as ashes blew from his hand. He turned to face Zero as he emerged from the depths of the Association building, not sparing the pile of dust behind him another glance.KxZ
