CHAPTER 9: THE SCARS WE HOLD….

Zero felt a shiver as another wave of pain hit him. He wished his King was fine. He never wished to hurt the King but this had to be done. Zero felt so cold. Everything was cold again. Zero clutched his heart as he whispered "I'm sorry…" Repeating the same words over and over again as he passed out with severe migraine.

"I'm sorry…"

"I'm sorry…"

"Your Highness…"

"My King…"

"My Lord…"

"My…"

"My… My love…."

Love? How long had it been since Zero had used that word? How long had it been since Zero had ever felt the need to remember, much less feel this word.

Drifting away in his unconsciousness he looked around to see when had it last been since he used this very word.

Looking around in the hoard of memories that piled up in front of him, the young silverette carved through the mountains of memories, trying to find something that reminded him of this word. After the third mountain; sweating and panting as blood gushed out of his nail-beds from digging too hard he finally found something.

A very young version of himself sitting outside the tea-house after being beaten up by mother for having his stomach growl due to hunger. Small, fragile, cold and hungry he sat in the cold winter night of January as he looked at the beautiful moon. Being lost in thoughts he wondered just how much trouble his mother would be going through because of him, because he was hungry, because he is a good for nothing brat who is never satisfied. Another weak growl resonated from within him and a very young silverette looked at his stomach angrily as he started punching his gut and whispering at it to 'shut up and not cause any more trouble.'

One… two… three… four… five….

It hurt.

He couldn't breathe.

It hurt.

He was so hungry.

It hurt.

He was so cold.

It hurt.

He wanted to die.

It hurt.

It was at that moment he heard someone. Another woman.

"Are you crazy boy?" she said. And Zero looked up. She was tall with burgundy locks and same eyes that burnt red in the cold night. Zero shivered as she spoke again "do you have anyone or anything on you?"

A nod. No.

She looked at him. Pity.

Then Zero saw a spark. She smiled and was like "My name is Juuri, I'm the Queen of this land. Come home with me, I'll feed you and take care of you and fulfill one other wish of yours so choose carefully, but in return I want your utmost loyalty to me and my daughter to the point of dying for them if demanded. So, what do you say boy?"

He nodded. Yes.

She smiled. "What is your name?" she asked softly.

"Don't have one."

She put an elegant, long bony perfectly manicured finger on her lips and thought for a while and she answered "well, since you have nothing and due to my kindness and love, I am picking you up from nothing how about I call you Zero?"

He nodded. He liked having a name.

She smiled and said "just never forget Zero. You are living because of my kindness and love. Never forget who made you what you are and will become."

He nodded and smiled. Idiot.

As he sat on the floor of her carriage he let them take him away. He didn't want his mother to face any more problems because of him. He will become strong and will protect her and then maybe one day she wouldn't be angry at him that he left her.

As he was fed and taken care of, one day Her majesty Queen Juuri asked "so Zero, I asked you that you may have one wish that I will grant regardless of whatever you may ask for your lifetime service. Did you think on it?"

Zero looked at her and smiled "yes I have your highness. I would like to request if Your Grace could free my mother from the shackles that bind her to the teahouse?"

She looked at him dumbfounded. What an idiot! Then cleared her throat and said "very well. But are you sure of it Zero? You could have asked for your freedom as well and I wouldn't have refused."

"Why would I ask for freedom? I am forever loyal to My Queen and My Princess and I would rather die than betray any of you."

"Such a sweet boy you are. So what is your mothers' name? I shall free her and give her a safe home to live in."

"I don't know his name but mother calls him Lilac."

"Very well, I shall make sure your mother is free and safe from any further contracts from the teahouse. Rest easy Zero."

The young boy lit up and bowed down with his forehead pressed obediently on the floor between the Queens' feet as he chanted 'thank you' over and over again.

Looking up from the memory tears ran down his face as he remembered why he was alive and what his actual purpose in life was.

He was pathetic.

He was hurt.

He needed someone.

He hurt someone.

He hurt someone precious.

He didn't want to hurt them.

He was in so much pain.

He was helplessly in pain.

He was in so much pain.

He was in love.

He was in love and it hurt because he hurt the person who had been kind to him.

His King.

He was in love with HIS King.

He was sorry.

Sorry.

SORRY!

Just like that the entire place started crumbling and shattering.

The mountains falling down on him. As he saw everything dying in front of him, he made a run for it while chanting "I'm sorry My King"

Everything was falling down. Everything was crashing down.

The mountains.

The skies.

The walls.

The memories…. THE MEMORIES! As Zero looked at the burning pile of memories he ran for the memoirs most dear to him and jumped in the fire.

As he jumped in the fire he expected a burning sensation but it didn't come. Instead he felt warm and cool at the same time. He heard heartbeat.

Opening up his eyes he saw a figure in front of him. Looking up he saw warm chocolate eyes looking at him lovingly. Thick brown locks covering a beautifully chiseled face and he heard the same voice again that called out to him so lovingly, "Zero, you're fine now. I'm here. I won't let anything happen to you. I'm extremely sorry for acting cold towards you. I should have seen the softness and loyalty that lies within you. But my love you have to trust me. I want to be a part of your world and make you my entire world. You will need to trust me and think about yourself. I had locked up my heart and my feelings for you; and even then I could hear your cries and feel your pain. I heard your apology. I am not hurt my love, but seeing the pain you are in now I feel bad for acting how I did. Forgive me?"

And with that Zero saw His King on his knees. Bowing in front of him asking for forgiveness.

It was that moment he saw how much he and HIS King were drawn to each other. And he noticed as His King was about to lower his head when he rushed forward to stop him.

As Kaname was about to lower his head for his apology he felt Zeros warmth on his face and by the time he registered what was happening he was sitting on the floor with Zeros arms around his neck and his lips on Kanames'.

My Queen.

My King.

The thoughts resonated in that empty space as lips connected with each other and conformed to one another. Slowly, inexorably, Kaname takes the lead and presses his lips to Zero's; this time initiating the kiss. It was soft and gentle and chaste and Zero felt butterflies and fireworks in his stomach. He clutched Kanames' shirt as His Kings hand finds the back of his neck and tilts Zeros head for a deeper kiss; which Zero complies. Zero always thought kissing his beloved would be how it was in the stories he read to Yuuki but this was better than that – this was a wave of warmth that filled him up, spilling out from his heart and the warmth of His Kings' lips on his and rushing to every corner of his body: the cracks in between his toes, the crooks of his elbows, the tips of his ears. Every inch of him was saturated with love.

Zeros head went into overdrive as Kaname kissed him; the moment their lips touched, the world vanished instantly. His eyes closed, and all he could feel was His King; His warmth, His touch, His being. It was agony, knowing that this was the person Zero had hurt, it hurt badly. His heart ached when His Kings hands cupped Zeros cheeks and pulled Zero towards him, taking in this final embrace, this kiss of death. Zeros whole body craved more, craved him, but it he hurt His King. Soon Zero could feel tears stinging in his eyes, and when he pulled away for air, Zero pulled him back in. Zero had never had anything that was this "good enough". But he had hurt Kaname. Zero was bad for Kaname.

As if on cue Kaname stopped and kissed Zeros tears away as he held his hand and rested him on himself. Zero sat between His Kings legs with his head resting on His Kings shoulder. Kaname kissed the top of Zeros head and said "don't cry Zero, I love you with all that I am and all that I ever will be. Even when my body turns to ashes I will still yearn for your embrace. So, don't even think for a second that you are wrong for me and you hurt me. Because darling if you are wrong for me then I never want to be right. I'd rather bask in the wrongness that is you. I love you My Queen. And don't you ever forget that. And don't you ever forget that. Your king will always be yours."

Zero never knew when he started crying and when His King kissed his tears away. But he felt so complete.

Kaname stood up and helped Zero stand up after calming His Queen down and said lovingly "Zero, it is time to wake up. You haven't eaten anything so I will send some food to your chambers. Eat something and come out, I want to see you."

Zero looked up at him and mumbled "I like this place. I don't want to go."

Kaname smiled and cupped Zeros face as he continued "I will always be here to talk to you. This is where our spiritual bond has been forged. Whenever you need me, just think of me and I will be here. I am not too far away My Queen. Now, come on, time to wake up and eat something."

With that said Kaname lowered his face to Zeros and their lips met one last time at that moment. Kaname placed his hand on His Queens waist and drew the silverette closer; deepening the kiss. As he parted Zero looked into His Kings eyes as they sparkled and his lips curve up into a smile and Zero couldn't help but smile back at his beautiful and loving King.

With a gasp Zero woke up and looked around. He was on the floor with sweat covering his face. Looking around he found himself alone with his thoughts, and it was at that exact moment that Zero felt all the memories rush back in and he couldn't help but to blush at them. He kissed the King and His King kissed him back. All the places His King touched tingled with an odd sensation. A sensation Zero didn't hate.

After bathing and changing into his clothes for the day he came back inside his chambers and saw food on his side table. Looking at the tray of food; Zero couldn't help but smile at the sensation.

Without thinking further Zero dug into the silver platter of food.

As he finished the delicious food, he made his way to Yuukis chamber who was getting ready for her tea with His King. As he saw her all dolled up he passed her a smile as he opened the door for her. A maid stood at the door as she said softly "His Highness has requested me to escort you and your Knight to the garden for tea Princess."

Yuuki looked at her and said gleaming with pride "fine. Lead the way servant."

Rude.

After an excruciatingly long time of walking through the halls, corridors and then paths all three of them entered what Zero would describe the most beautiful garden he had ever seen.

It was filled with bright red roses all around and in the middle was a white canopy where tea was arranged. The flowers were arranged in the insignia of Vampira and the Kuran family crest. It was so majestic. The grass was trimmed like a soft carpet and the place smelled amazing.

Yuuki carefully seated herself on the loveseat as Zero stood behind her. And as he did he heard familiar footsteps.

His heart skipped a beat as he looked back to see His King talking to his advisor and best friend about something very serious. Both of them were deep in conversation with Kanames face void of any emotion; and it was at that very moment burgundy met lilac and Kanames features softened as he reached the canopy.

Deliberately taking the route to enter the canopy closer to Zero; he moved past Zero whilst brushing his hand against Zeros- holding it for a brief moment before letting it go and sitting in front of Yuuki to initiate their tea time.

Tea was poured and Kaname asked Yuuki what she felt about the garden she smiled and said "it is beautiful My Lord. I see a lot of time, effort and money was spent on it. But spending time with My King is makes this place very special to me." She smiled at Kaname who smiled back and replied 'thank you' before turning his attention towards Zero and asking "what do you think of flowers Zero?"

Startled, Zero looked at him- caught while staring at the flowers!

Their eyes met and Zero spoke softly, a smile forming on his face as he started "I can never see flowers too many times, I can never tire of their sweet fragrance. Each one is a delicate bloom, no matter if it is a formal garden or a waste land. Their petals are delicate works of art and their hues are medicine for my soul. I guess it's not just me that feels that way though, we bring flowers into the hospitals and graveyards, we send them to express our love, and we plant them in our yards though they bear no edible fruits. Our city spends thousands replacing them along the streets and as soon as they brown more are brought in. There is something about their beauty I need for my whole being, to be fully human, I wonder if we're all a bit like that. Without the flowers it would only be concrete, and I think the drop in temperature would freeze my heart." Kaname kept looking at him as Zero completed but before he could comment anything Yuuki interfered and the conversation left there as Zero looked away.

Rest of the time went by smoothly as Kaname thanked Yuuki for her company as he accompanied her back into the Palace.

Before parting he addressed Yuuki while actually focusing on Zero as he said "I am glad you accompanied me today. I picked this garden especially since it holds a sentimental importance for me. Thank you for joining. I hope to see you at dinner."

Yuuki blushed and curtsied as Kaname left.

She smiled and looked at Zero who was looking at Kanames' back as well and she said "Zero! I think Kana is falling for me."

Snapping out of the trance Zero smiled and said "I'm glad and so happy for you My Queen."

Yuuki squealed with joy as she started exploring the halls.

'Things just might turn out in my favor after all…' she thought as she entered a library filled with books related to Vampire and Hunter magic.

I KNOW IT IS SHORT BUT THANK YOU FOR STICKING WITH ME FOR SO LONG.

I REALLY APPRECIATE IT.

I WILL TRY TO UPDATE SOONER.

TILL THEN~ TAKE CARE LOVELIES. 3
