CHAPTER 2: LET'S PAINT IT RED….

Yuuki rushed to the chairmans' office to find him fumbling with some paperwork; storming in the large and extravagant room the smaller girl spoke as sweat dropped down her chin. Breathlessly she spoke "Ch-chairman…?"

"Its daddy my little girl…" the older man almost whined. But as he looked at the worry evident in her chocolate brown orbs he stiffened and said in a stern voice "What's wrong with Zero?"

As the smaller girls' eyes watered she said "He is in so much pain…" with the words said she broke into a fit of sobs. The older man hurried to her side and quickly placed her on the couch and said "I'll go check on Zero-kun, you wait here and rest. Okay Yuuki? And under no circumstances are you to forget that you are the Academy's guardian. Understood?"

"But I want to see for myself if Zero is fine…"

"He'll be fine. He will be with you in classes tomorrow. Right now, daddy wants you to be a big girl to make sure nothing happens. In fact, since it's almost dawn and the students have left their classes I'd like it if you'd rest for a while. Meanwhile, I'll go and check on my boy. Alright?"

The smaller girl nodded weakly as Kaien went towards Zeros' room.

[MEANWHILE]

Takuma looked at Senri as the young red-head struggled to hide his hormones that were blazing up and dropping with the passing time. He slowly approached the bed and hummed in a low growl as he took in Senris scent- it was so sweet; like pure roses; not the wild kind, rather the timid kind.

He hummed against Senris ear and said "You smell really nice My Omega!"

Senris eyes shot open and he tilted his neck to look at Takuma who had just said the most carnal thing in the entire time they had known each other. As Takuma took a closer look of the exposed scent gland his fangs extended on his own and he reached to hold Senri. Senri on the other hand, even in that state had full control over his hormones and his mind- he had dealt with many heats and this was no different- the only thing that happened now was that his heat cycle got disturbed and it came a week earlier than he had expected; usually he'd be home with his mother taking care of the heat by drinking her blood or his blood; but this time he was trapped in front of Takuma who was releasing his pheromones everywhere trying to dominate him to make him submit. But he couldn't submit- he shouldn't submit. It's not allowed. Wasn't he trained for this? When the time is right he would have to do his job- his long appointed job… then why were things going against the plan. Something in the wheel of fate must have been disturbed.

His latter thoughts turned to jelly and a weird blur as Takuma pierced his fangs into Senris unblemished skin and started sucking the liquid. Something warm filled Senri up as his arms fell to his sides and his scent enveloped in Takumas stronger one.

Takuma removed his fangs and lapped the wound as he started placing kisses on Senris body who lay on the bed in a dead dazed way. Considering it as an after-shock Takuma continued showering his newfound mate with butterfly kisses. As he reached the neck he heard that his mates' pulse was low- dangerously low. Panicking slightly the taller male took a mouthful of his own bitter blood and force-fed his mate.

The blood did the trick as an eternal blood-bond formed between the two vampires who were mated as the rightful Alpha and Omega.

But the funny thing was that Takuma couldn't feel Senris heat anymore- coming around to sniff his mate he said "Shiki…what happened to your scent?"

After letting realization sink in Senri replied dryly "...Gone…."

"What do you mean gone?"

"I mean I don't have a scent anymore…."

"I understand that much Shiki… I'm not an idiot you know?"

"I know and I apologize for talking back."

After a little while of thinking Takuma looked away with sad eyes and said "I'm sorry but this was a mistake. I can't pinpoint your scent anymore and my beast isn't even wanting you. This was a mistake. I'll find a way to undo it. I'm sorry Shiki that this had to happen."

Senri looked at the ceiling and said "Don't worry it isn't your fault. You don't have to do anything more for me."

Takuma looked at Senri with concerned eyes and said "Listen I always wanted to mate someone I'd be in love with and apparently I'm not attracted to you. I am not going to spend an eternity with you trying to make things work… when it's so clear that they won't. So, let me just set myself free. Please?"

Senri looked at Takuma with teary eyes and said after a small pause "I know how to make the bond go away, it doesn't need you to do anything. I'll do that ritual first thing in the morning. I won't have you bound to me against your will okay? You will find your mate in the one you love and I will be just another line in your manga. So don't worry. I won't do anything to ruin your life."

Takuma breathed out in relief and said "Wouldn't the procedure hurt you?"

"Not really…"

"…."

Senri looked away as he dug his head in the covers and tried to sleep and rid himself of the words that were just spoken to him… 'It had always been like this hasn't it?' Senri took another deep breath and went to sleep.

[Back to Kaien]

Kaien made his way towards Zeros room and paused in front of the door. Taking a deep breath he entered the room wishing that it wouldn't be what he had thought.

As he entered the room he saw Zero sitting straight up with a gun pointing towards Kaien and his hands shaking as he tried to even his breathing. The silverettes eyes burned a shade of plum and he looked at Kaien in confusion and anger. Kaien raised his hands up in defeat as he made his closure towards Zero. Blood-rose trailed along the old mans path and stopped when Kaien finally found himself a seat in front of Zero.

Smiling softly he took bloody rose from the smaller delicate hand and caressed the youngers cheek. Zero gave in to the parental touch and leaned in the touch. Kaien smiled a sad smile and then whispered softly "Who bit you Zero?"

As if this question made Zeros walls break the young boy held his scarred neck and said in a whisper "K-Kana… K-Ku-ran…."

Zero bit his lip as the memory coursed through his system and sent an uneasy jolt to his spine making the boy elicit a painful soundless scream and a tear made its way out of his eye.

Kaien took a deep breath as anger masked his softer features making him stoic and an entirely different person. With a hand on Zeros eyes he whispered a chant in Zeros ear and kissed the boys forehead as Zero stopped crying and slept in the elder mans' embrace.

Kaien tucked zero in the bed carefully and said softly before leaving the room "now isn't the right time Zero… you're still not ready to make it out on your own like this. You're still very fragile my boy."

The older man closed the door and walked away. He had to talk to Kaname, but, a part of him told him that it would only have the older man probe in to the matter further which he didn't want so he debated against talking to Kaname.

Kaien entered his office and slouched on his chair. He was glad that tomorrow Zero would wake up with no memory of the preceding night and he'd expel Kanames' venom out of his system too. He wasn't ready to fall yet. And Kaien had a promise to keep.

Placing his glasses on the table Kaien thought 'maybe it's about time Toga and Kaito came, it's been a while since I've seen them…I'll probably leave a message telling Toga about Zeros accident. He'd come rushing back as soon as possible. And so would Kaito. Besides, I could do with some more teachers and Zero could do with a friend and a fatherly figure…. I should probably send a letter.'

Determined the headmaster dispatched a letter to the said man hoping for a reply or a response soon. The sooner the better.

[The Next Day]

Zero woke up with an excruciating pain in his head and bile rushing up his mouth. Without wasting another second the young hunter rushed towards the toilet and emptied the contents wanting an exit- it was a thick liquid that was maroonish black in shade. Zero gave a disgusted look to the contents he just expelled and went to brush his teeth and possibly tongue after flushing the contents.

Once bathed the young prefect made his way out and wore his uniform- surprisingly the headache was gone after the vomit. That was weird, but like Zero cared.

He took off towards the stables to feed Lily hoping to calm down and possibly get some fresh air. It was still some time left before the classes started.

[Meanwhile]

Kaname coughed up some blood and the funny thing about the blood was that it wasn't his own….

'Then whose is it?' thought Kaname as he looked at his hand that was covered in blood… blood that had no scent and no thickness… blood that seemed like water with food coloring.

But something about it intrigued him. Especially when the blood just disappeared in mid-air leaving behind no trace of its existence.

Kaname gave a small smile and said "I am forgetting something aren't I?"

Things were getting interesting... first Senri and now this blood...
