A/N: I've decided since I like this pairing so much and there is a serious lack of fanfiction concerning them(Come on, so what if they're a crack pairing? Its HOT!) I'm taking matters into my own hands once again and writing an fanfiction about these two. Yep, I'm talking about ZERUTO! Now, for those of you who don't like Yuki or Amu...I'm sorry but I do so for once their will be no bashing(if it were one of my Soriku fics and Kairi on the other though...) Enjoy my story and I know the title might seem a little...twilightish but trust me, ever since the movies I HATE TWILIGHT so no need to worry. Besides, Zero can kick Edward's sparkly ass anyday.

Xx chapter I xX

"Nya~ Ikuto, why did we come all the way out here?" A small little floating cat said as he perched himself on Ikuto's shoulders. "I miss our old friends, even the Guardian chara's." The small cat mewed, his tail curling around his paws.

"I've told you, Yoru. We can't stay there anymore." The navy haired teen replied roughly, one hand clutching a violin case the other planted in his pants pocket.

"But why did we have to go so far?" The small creature continued to ask questions.

"The farther we go the better. EASTER will come after us no matter what but at least the distance can buy us some time."

Yoru was about to ask some more questions but bit his tongue, not wanting to piss off his master.

A large building came into view and Ikuto stopped walking for a second to look at it. This was their new home. At Cross Academy.

"Let's go." Ikuto said almost inaudibly, walking towards the large school.

"Zero! You left me all alone again today!" A girl said as she smacked a sleeping silver haired boy on the head. Zero gritted his teeth and nursed his rapidly forming bump, trying his best not to glare at the brunette girl.

"Couldn't you show up at least once in a while? Those Night Class fangirls are tearing me apart!" She continued to whine, pointing to the dirty spots on her uniform from where some of the other girls found it a good idea to shove her into the ground to maybe get a quick peak at the night class. Zero wasn't listening though, his hightened senses picked up an unfamiliar smell in the distance that was nearing the school.

"We have visiters." He said, getting up from his comfortable spot by the large tree to gaze at the road leading in and out of the campus.

"Huh?" Yuuki looked at her friend confused, peering over his shoulder to try and see what he meant.

She looked towards the same direction as the other boy, trying to get her mind off of the beautiful contrast between the dark trees and the pinkish glow of the sky caused by the sunset. A figure appeared in the far distance, indeed walking towards the school.

"Ah! That must be the new student that the chairman was talking about." Yuuki said, pointing towards the silouhette.

Zero quirked a brow. "New student? I didn't hear about that."

"You would have if you'd do your job as a perfect!" Yuuki shouted at Zero, punching him in the arm.

Zero ignored his friend and continued to look at the distant figure of the so called 'new student', now able to see his features such as his oddly colored blue hair. His eyes narrowed as he continued to observe the strange boy. Something seemed off, he didn't look or smell like a vampire, so that wasn't what felt wrong but there was something about him, some sort of aura. Zero ignored it and made his way towards the chairman's office.

"Eh? Zero where are you going!" Yuuki called after him.

"Where else? To go see the chairman about this new student."

Yuuki growled slightly and stomped after him, trying to catch up. Oh sure! Now he does his job! She thought as she followed him.

"Tsukiyomi-san, I'm glad you could make it!" The chairman said as he ushered the blue haired boy inside his office. Ikuto Tsukiyomi nodded, his expression stoic as he entered the room, eyes looking no where in particular. "I'd like you to meet my children, Zero and Yuuki."

A hand slammed against the oakwood desk and the boy with silver hair looked like he was going to kill someone. "Oi, I know you raised me since I was young but I never remembered accepting you as my father!"

"Kiryuu-kun! You don't really mean that!" The principal cried as he clung to the other boy and Ikuto couldn't help crack a smile at the funny behavior.

"Oh! Right, Tsukiyomo-san, I almost forgot you were here." The chairman said sheepishly, imediatly getting off of Zero. "Since its already so late in the semester almost everyone already has a roomate and since all the rooms are already taken you will be sharing a dorm with Kiryuu."

"What!" Zero shouted. "You never said that!" He protested, fist slamming against the already cracked desk.

"Yes I did, just now."

Zero looked like he was really about to murder someone now and Ikuto smirked, figuring it might be kind of fun to tease someone who got mad so easily.

"Well why can't he stay in someone else's room?" Zero bickered.

"Because, 1: You're the only one who doesn't have a roomate and 2: You'll also be escorting him around the campus until further notice."

By now, the silver haired teen was fuming. It was actually kind of entertaining to watch him...getting angry. Not just watching him. Ikuto gripped his violin case tighter and he looked up at the silver haired male.

"Well then Kiryuu-kun, mind showing me to our dorm so that I can unpack my things and get some rest?" Ikuto teased, smirking at the other boy. He was going to enjoy having him around.

Zero frowned, and with a sigh nodded. Walking ahead of the navy haired boy he began to explain the route towards the dorm room, saying over and over that he wasn't going to be blamed if Ikuto wansn't paying attention and couldn't find his way to the place on his own.

"Alright here we are." Zero mumbled, stopping infront of a more secluded room. "You go on inside and I'll get you your new uniform."

"Thanks." Ikuto uttered before entering the room, figuring that the unmade, messy bed belonged to Zero so he took the one adjacent to it. When he was sure that Zero was gone he placed his violin on the bed as Yoru crawled out of his pocket.

"That silver haired guy looks kinda scary nya..." The kittenish Shugo Chara mewed, his ear down. When Ikuto's fingers hovered infront of the chara's face Yoru flinched, afraid he was going to flick him for being so cowardly but the digits simply grazed his fuzzy cat ears. Yoru looked up at his master with wide, curious eyes as Ikuto withdrew his hand, opening the latches of his violin case and pulling out the varnished instrument.

"It's been a while since I've played it." He whispered, mostly to himself than his tiny companion as he delicatly brushed his fingertips on the smooth, shiny surface.

He position the bottom of the violin right under his chin and raised the bow, running it over the bridge of string until he played a steady, high note. Enjoying the calming affect that note gave him he began to softly play the instrument, completly lost in its rythmical melody.

Zero was examining the day class uniform he had grabbed for Ikuto, figuring it would fit the boy's lean frame and if not then he could always exchange it. As he aproached the dorm he could hear a rather enticing violin playing and stopped at the door to listen to it.

Is that Ikuto? He thought as he pressed his ear against the wooden door. He's playing sich a sad tune.

Not wanting to stay outside the door with his ear pressed against it like an idiot, Zero entered the room, acting nonchalant as if he hadn't just been eavesdropping on the other boy's magnificent playing. As soon as he heard the door creek open Ikuto ceased playing his violin, instead deciding to put it back in its case.

"You don't have to stop, it doesn't bother me." Zero said as he stripped off his shirt, getting ready to go to sleep.

Ikuto shook his head and safely stored his precious case underneath his bed. "No, I just hadn't played in a while and I wanted to make sure the strings were still tuned." He lied. "So did you get my uniform?" The new student turned to see Zero pulling his pijama top over his head and Ikuto couldn't help but sneak a glance at the perfectly chiseled torso. It looked so pale and smooth, like the richest cream.

"Yeah, I didn't know what size you were so I just kind of estimated." Zero mumbled as he decided if he should change his pants in front of the new boy or not. It's not like it would be something he hasn't seen before.

"It looks good enough." Ikuto muttered as he stripped down to his boxers, laying sprawled out on the bed almost like a cat.

Zero raised a curious eyebrow, fighting the heat that rushed to his face. "Aren't you going to change into your sleeping clothes?"

"Don't have any." Ikuto said plainly, eyes closed and arms behind his back acting like a pillow.

"Alright then..." Zero mumbled, mostly to himself as he turned his head away, hoping the blue haired boy didn't notice his slightly flustered cheeks.

"Well...goodnight." Zero groaned as he got himself comfortable, shifting underneath the convers. Ikuto nodded, not really caring if the other teen saw or not and turned on his side, back facing the wall.

Ikuto gazed at nothing in particular, his vision set on the outlined body of Zero through the covers.

He wondered how long until EASTER would find him and try to bring him back.

A/N: Considering I didn't really have an idea or a plot for this story I'd say I did a pretty good job. I mean, for a first chapter. I know there wasn't anything cheesy like love at first sight, or even lust at first sight but Ikuto and Zero don't seem like the type of people to run into eachother's arms at the first meet.

I honestly don't have any real idea for this fic except for maybe a few fluff scenes and of course a bunch of lemons, limes and other citruses but no actual plot. I'd like to hear your suggestions in a review or else I might get writers block and this fic could never be updated again!(Trust me, its happened.) So please, tell me your suggestion. I just really felt like writing a Zeruto fic so I hope you respond.
