Let's Go!
Chapter Thirty Four

It woke him.
The smell of everything he found appealing in this world all wrapped in one. Delicious mixed in with the hint of ambrosia. It awakened the burn of thirst at the back of his throat.
Disoriented, he sat up, his confused eyes searching the darkened room for the source. They settled on the light battling against the barrier against the drawn curtains. He realized it was still daylight. It was more than puzzling. That something could break the bonds of his nocturnal nature. He whispered an expletive, tossing the covers back from his body. His anger at the intrusion was enormous and at the same time intriguing. Ignoring the tantalizing scent was next to impossible.
He walked slowly through the empty hallways of the Moon Dorm, even more baffled when the delicious scent led him straight to Kaname's door. He grimaced at the portal.
What in the hell had drawn him to these doors, when he knew that Kaname was thoroughly entranced by his idiot hunter? But what he was smelling wasn't Kaname or even Zero The hunter turned vampire had never smelled so appealing to him before, even after drinking Kaname's blood. But then again, not even Kaname had ever smelled so enticing to him than what he was taking in now. The novelty of it stationed him at Kaname's door straining to hear what was going on inside the room. All he could manage to catch was snatches of an ongoing conversation.
"………Sunset……"
"And he'll need……."
He continued to frown at the oakwood door, confused to what had drawn him here. It wasn't Kaname and sure wasn't Zero.
So what was it?
He didn't dare move closer, knowing that Kaname's senses were at their height. Instead he forced himself away from the door and back to his room, resigning to find out what in the room was so amazing.

Zero stared down at his sleeping brother, studying the features so like his own. Undefinable emotion moved through him at the sight. He was dressed in a filmy robe that Kaname had handed to him after their shower, his silver hair still damp from their shower. Kaname stood just behind him in his own albeit sturdier, thicker robe. He filed that thought away to inquire about later and continued his perusal.
"When will he wake up?" He kept his voice soft even though he knew that Ichiru wouldn't hear them.
"At sunset." Kaname answered just as quietly. "And if you are anything to go by he'll need real blood."
He sighed, resigned to the fact. "I'll donate it." Anything to keep his brother going insane and suffering.
Kaname pulled him back into his strong, comforting clasp of his arm, his dark eyes flickering to their closed door. "I know you would but I don't think you will have to worry about that."
Startled, Zero processed his thoughts. "Really? That's strange."
Kaname laughed. "Stranger things have happened. Let him sleep. You can speak with him when he awakes. For now you need to rest and there are some things the I would like to discuss with you."
He pulled the silver haired hunter from his sleeping brother, pushing him into their room before he could protest. In the true manner of mates, he didn't have to explain verbally although that's how Zero answered.
"Leave the academy?"
Kaname nodded wordlessly. "We need a home and a fresh start."
"But not the Kuran estate."
"No. That I will bequeath to Yuki and Ichigo."
Zero crossed his arms over his chest. "I really don't care as long as I'm with you and it's close. I still have my duties as a hunter." The memory of their separation was as fresh as a winter breeze within him.
"And I wouldn't get in the way of that." Kaname agreed. His eyes were serious. "But the less people who know, the better."
For their safety.
Zero shivered, remembering the tale Kaito had spun for him.
"But we really don't have to worry about that right? It's not like we're going to have kids right?"
When Kaname didn't answer, his lilac eyes sharpened, widening in surprise, reading Kaname's swiftly moving thoughts. "Are you kidding me? I'm a male!"
"But a vampire male." Kaname returned sagely. "Certain….things can be modified to suit our needs."
"B-but you wouldn't really expect me to right?" He was stammering in his shock. "And wouldn't that the vampire world call for our blood? Our deaths?"
"Which is why we're leaving here."
"Hey! I didn't agree to that!" Zero snapped as Kaname took a gliding step in his direction. "Couldn't we just adopt?!" His lilac eyes were dark with his distress as Kaname invaded his personal space, circling him in his arms.''
"Who would we adopt?" Kaname asked him mildly. "There aren't many orphaned vampire children.
"I'm sure we can find one! We just have to look!" Zero tried desperately. "America maybe…or…"
Kaname nuzzled his hair, holding him tight to his chest. "But don't you want a silver haired firebrand? I do. Feisty like the man that I love." He murmured against Zero's temple. "A child as stubborn as you are."
"But that's….." Zero trailed off weakly. "It takes time to modify me right? We don't have to make a decision right now. We can have this discussion at a later date.
"Not too much later." Kaname was leading him to the bed, his hold inexorable. "I've lived a long time.I find I want a child. Someone to carry on my bloodline."
A direct link. He didn't have to say it out loud but his thoughts rang with the need, reaching out to him. Zero was glad that Kaname's mouth was on his. It silenced all of his protests.

The lock on the door clicked noiselessly allowing the slender blonde haired vampire entrance.
Aidou's eyes were round a saucers at the sight of Ichiru asleep on the couch and Kaname behind his huge desk. The muted light of the sinking sun flowed under the curtains. Kaname beckoned him further into the room, his eyes as sharp as the tips of razorblades.
"We don't have long before Zero and Ichiru wake and I wanted to speak with you."
Aidou shuffled in to the room, nervous. "And what do you want to speak with me about? I haven't done anything wrong." He stated defensively.
"You were here earlier?" Though it was a question it really didn't require any answer.
A telltale blush scored the bones of his cheeks as he nodded, answering anyway. "Yes, Kaname-sama. For some reason…I couldn't sleep."
"Sit." Kaname ordered sternly. The guest chair slid from the desk. Aidou did so refraining from looking at the sleeping silverette.
"You were drawn to his sent, yes? Even though his blood hadn't been drawn?"
Aidou frowned, his blue eyes going to Ichiru. "I don't know Kaname-sama. I was drawn to the scent of something." The look in his eyes became incredulous. "How do yo know it was him?" He tripped over his words slightly.
"Well, you've never been drawn to Zero right?" His alarm grew has Kaname's gaze narrowed on him. "Not at all."
Kaname relaxed in his seat. "Then it would have had to be him. Hence the reason I called you here. When he wakes he will need blood. Would you be willing to be his donor? Think about it before you answer. If you were to take up that position it would be for an undeterminable amount of time. In fact I can't guarantee it wouldn't be forever."
He licked his lips, betraying the whirlwind of feeling inside him. Kaname's dark eyes were trying to convey a silent message but he couldn't tell what it was. His nostrils flared as the sweet scent invaded them once again. He took his time to think about the proposal. It would make Kaname happy. And in turn Zero. He wasn't sure he wanted the hunter to be happy about anything. But the scent was so wonderful…..
"Yes, I'll do it."
As Kaname nodded in satisfaction he wasn't so sure that his answer hadn't already been anticipated.

The soft rustle of clothe crashed against his eyes like explosions. His eyes flared open in fear. That caused him to moan in pain as the sight of the room stabbed into his eyes like daggers. He shut them quickly, laying his face against his palms, shuddering at the sudden, throbbing pain in his head. The revelation that he shouldn't even be alive came a second later and he hunched forward expecting pain of a different sort. It didn't come. The voice no matter how quiet was just as painful. He jumped in response and turned his head towards the sound, hesitant to open his eyes again.
"Turn the light down." The voice demanded. He recognized it.
Zero.
The couch dipped at his side and a cool cloth was pressed to his forehead. The temperature only accentuated how much his throat burned.
What in the hell was going on?
"Just take a deep breath." Zero ordered and he fought the urge to groan as his brother's voice sounded in his head like giant cymbals. "You'll be okay in a moment. Just relax."
"Stop talking." He grunted. "You're making it worse."
Zero sighed. "It only serves you right." He muttered. "Falling in with Rido of all people. Which is a story I would dearly love to hear."
"Ungh!" He couldn't stop the groan of pain that time and he stopped himself, just barely, from opening his eyes and glaring at his brother. He took the next couple of minutes breathing through the agony in his throat before he was brave enough to ask. "What the fuck is wrong with me?"
"Well, for starters you're a vampire." Zero sounded dryly amused. "Just think. You betray your brother and get your hearts wish."
His eyes did open at that and his brother's face was so close and detailed that it almost caused an aneurysm.
"Gah!"
Zero laughed, a little evilly, at his calamity. He witnessed it through watering eyes. "Don't worry you'll become used to in a little while. But you have to drink first."
"Damn it!" He growled. "Are you deliberately torturing me?"
"We should." Zero's voice was hard as granite. "Aidou."
A third presence intruded on his agony. He was stunned by the angelic appearance of the one who appeared in front of him, his vision still too pronounced. His eyes slitted in confusion as the scent of his favorite vanilla ice cream wafted past his nose. Instinct had him backing up when all he wanted to do was sink his fangs into soft flesh.
"What is he doing here?"
"Be grateful." Zero volleyed. "He volunteered to be your donor. If you don't want to fall to level E accept it. Take it from personal experience. The blood pills won't do a thing for you."
"But why does it have to be him?" He all but snarled.
"He was the only one who would." Zero replied sarcastically and again the delicious scent of blood curbed his own response. It was almost as if he could feel all that luscious blood throbbing beneath the male's porcelain skin. It called to him more powerful than his deepest desires.
"Damn it! I hate you!" It was a lie of course. His brother was all he had left in this world now that Shizuka was gone.
"Yeah, yeah. Hate me later. For now drink." Zero waved away his insult, gesturing towards Aidou who drew a sharp nail across his wrist.
That obliterated any other protests he might have made. The heavy smell of blood turned his head, a magnet for the thirst boiling through his veins. He reached out blindly, his pains a distant memory as he sought to assuage the burning agony in his throat.
Aidou flinched as delicate fangs punched into the vein at his wrist with no finesse. He met Kaname's sympathy filled eyes as the vampire shuffled his mate from the room to let them live this intimate moment by themselves. It was a singular, painful experience and he was grateful. His eyes were trained on the fledgeling vampire as he drank his blood in deep, throaty gulps. Despite that, his attention was riveted on the beautiful male as he bent over his wrist. Illogically he found that he wished the vampire was drinking from another spot. His throat. The need took him aback. He wondered just what he'd signed himself up for.
Ichiru himself wasn't thinking half as much as the delectable nectar slid down his throat. The ravenous hunger abated with each pull, disappearing into obscurity. His initial protests were forgotten as he revealed in the divine taste, too caught up in the pulse that beat strongly beneath his lips until strong fingers weaved through his hair, tugging his head up. He whined in disappointment, meeting clear blue eyes.
"That's enough." He read the moving lips rather than heard the sound of his words, the thundering rush from the blood roaring in his ears. He would have drawn Aidou's wrist back to his mouth if he hadn't been caught in his gaze.
"Enough." Aidou repeated firmly, freeing himself with a quick tug.
Ichiru leaned back against the cushions, panting slightly. The noble's blood moved through him like a powerful storm, electricity following in its wake. He stared up at Aidou in astonishment. He could still hear his heartbeat pounding in his ears, the essence of his aura wounding around his body. The odd sensation unsettled him and he shrank back even further from the noble trapped in his clear blue eyes. The blood struck through his system like liquid lightning clearing the cobwebs in his mind. It hit him that his heart's wish just might be a curse as he read dislike in Aidou's eyes. He wiped a hand over his mouth, wiping away the blood, not looking away. Aidou stared back at him the struggling for impassivity but not quite making it. They just stared at each other in silence until he looked away uncomfortably. He just wanted to wallow in the adrenaline rush of his feeding. He contemplated his surroundings with new interest trying to escape Aidou's intense look. The room was too clear and he brushed his fingers along the bridge of his nose realizing that he was no longer wearing his glasses.
Still feeling perplexed by Aidou, he vacated his seat to wander to the windows, choosing to look out onto the night rather than the blonde noble. It was stunning, every detail clear as if sunshine shone rather than moonlight. He quickly found himself entranced by it, unaware of Aidou's eyes following him. A plaintive sound escaped him as sudden longing to be out of the stifling room assailed him.
"We can go out if you like."
He spun around, disoriented, to find that Zero had reentered the room sans Kaname.
"The smell of Aidou's blood cause a bit of an uproar with the night class." Zero explained at the question in his eyes. "Know is a good time to talk." He pointedly ignored Aidou. "We'll use the balcony."
The night air was even more inviting that the sight and Ichiru breathed deep, marveling at the succulent scent of warm bodies that dotted the campus. Zero chuckled softly and dropped to the ground bonelessly.
He hesitated in following, his human notions still very much in the forefront.
"Jump. You're pretty much invincible. A beast in human form." Zero said.
And still he hesitated.
"Scared?" The soft voice taunted him and for the hundredth time that night, he was caught off guard. Aidou stood just behind him, his blue eyes intense.
"As if I would be." He scoffed, but it pushed him to jump off the balcony. He resented the push.
I really don't like that guy. No matter that his blood now flowed through his own veins.
He hit the ground soundlessly, astonished at the lack of pain, not paying any attention to the glowing blue eyes that followed him.

"So whenever you're ready, you can start."
Ichiru stopped and sat next to his brother. Zero lounged back against the side of the barn where Lily was stabled, seemingly relaxed. But his purple eyes were as sharp as uncut amethyst. He'd watched his brother cavort in the forest for hours as he got used to his heightened senses and reflexes. And his infinity for the night.
But now it was time to get down to business.
"Where would you like me to start?"
"Oh, I don't know. How about why you felt the need to team up with scum like Rido. Or maybe further back to Shizuka."
Zero's tone was hard as he threw down the gauntlet, years torment and strife coloring the night around them. "Why you felt the need to betray our parents."
"I didn't betray our parents." If Zero's voice was hard, his was soft. "I wanted to kill the hand who'd caused their deaths. Going with Shizuka was part of that goal. But she would never give me what I needed. I realized that too late. By then I'd come to…..love her."
"And yet you followed her here and helped her try to make me a slave."
"I was jealous of you and that clouded my judgement." No more no less. "You had what I thought I wanted."
They sat silent, the irony not lost on either of them.
"I took up with Rido because I thought that I would have a chance to kill him. I never meant for you to die. I didn't even know of his plans." Ichiru broke the silence finally and Zero tensed at the regret in his tone, his entire body clenching with the memory of his brother unconscious and covered with blood. The remembrance of the thought that he lost him also haunted him.
"But once again I didn't have what it took to see my plans through to fruition." The bitterness sliced another cut in Zero's armor.
"If I could have changed anything about your condition I would have died to make it so."
"You should have just finished killing me when we were in the womb."
"What?"
Ichiru smiled crookedly. "Haven't you ever wondered why there aren't more sets of twins among the hunters? Because one twin would always kill the other before they were born and absorb its power and become complete. But for some reason you didn't finish the job and I was born a shadow, far from what you could have become. It's safe to say that you will never be at your full power. Well, unless you killed me now and drank all of my blood."
Zero let mirth pour from him, his thoughts flashing to his mate, the sound caustically ragged. "I don't thing that's a concern for either of us any longer. He paused, considering the implications of Kaname's earlier proposal.
Was there a chance that he would be consigning one of his children to death before he even knew of its existence?
He shot the idea down immediately. He'd just have to find a way around Kaname's desire, thought they hadn't done him any good so far. He got back to the subject at hand. "Is that what you meant when you called us the cursed twins?"
"Yeah."
"Then I'd say that you're lucky. And now your health is no longer an issue." He sighed morosely. "So that's what happened? You tried to kill Rido?"
"I underestimated him.I thought that he was weaker than Kaname."
"He was." Zero answered promptly. "In his powers and his beliefs."
"And patently insane."
"Yeah."
Neither of them seemed willing to speak again and amazingly the silence wasn't awkward. Zero could feel all of his anger slipping away now that he had his brother at his side. But he had to know…..
"Do you hate me?"
Ichiru slumped against the barn. "I never hated you Zero. More like I hated…..myself for not being as strong as you are. But maybe I'll hate you know. What in the world caused you to have Aidou donate blood? He clearly dislikes you and me."
"I didn't make him, he volunteered. And I didn't get the impression that he dislikes you at all. Me, though? That's a different story. It'll be a while before he forgives me for taking away his precious Kaname."
Ichiru's brow creased in consternation. "Umph, he seems to dislike me also. I wonder if it's because I look like you?"
Zero's laughter painted the night with hope. "Yeah, maybe."

Kaname faced the agitated night class, offering assurances.
"No, it's fine and Aidou is alright."
His eyes searched the occupants of the commons, settling on Yuki.
"Where is Takuma?"
Yuki shrugged, her chocolate eyes mysterious. "He left. He said he had business to take care of."
KxZ
He rushed through his drawers, collecting the needed documents. He didn't realize that his hands were shaking. All he could think about was that he'd failed and Kaname Kuran would soon be coming for him. And as lenient as Kaname was, he didn't think he'd get a reprieve if the ancestor of all vampires turned his sights to him. He'd killed the entire council with no remorse.
Ichigo cursed under his breath softly as his passport eluded him. Where had he put the damn thing?
"Going somewhere?"
He froze, although it was wasn't the voice he was expecting. He looked up to find his grandson sitting in the comfortable chair in the corner of the room watching him with cold green eyes.
"What are you doing here? On a mission for your 'King'?"
A slight smile lifted one corner of Ichijo's mouth. "As a matter of fact, he doesn't even know I'm here." His eyes hardened to chips of emerald. "We have a little business to discuss."
"Business?" An immaculate brow raised in contrived confusion. "What business would I have to discuss with you?"
The smirk on Ichijo's mouth bloomed into a full, frozen smile and his elegant hands unsheathed the katana that lay in his lap. "Oh,who will take up the reins after you are gone and such……"

Until Next Time……
