A/N: Sorry for the late update but I had a bit of a writer's block here. I was working on this while I was working on Grim Prince so I got a little lost when picking up on this story again since I couldn't just switch to first person point of view. That's why it took a while. Oh and I was also watching some anime. Can someone give me some reccomendations on romance-school-life-comedy kind of animes? I tried some on youtube but that site has too much of everything and most of the anime people upload on it are kind of (too) perverted for me.

Anyway, here's the update and a little warning in advance, the first shift of scenes might be a little confusing since it's all dialouge really. I'll tell you the general order - it's Zero who talks first, then shifts to Kaname and then back and forth, back forth and so on. Okay, time for the chapter. Later! And thanks for reading and reviewing everyone!

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knights, just these fan-fiction ideas.

Warning(s): Zero and Kaname (Boy and boy pairing), cursing, OOC (Out of Character - Somewhat), and typos (I don't mean to though).

Special Epilogue Note – Zero and Kaname are on friendlier terms now. They've started calling each other by their first names as their rivalry has been put to an end. The two have made a pact that they would stop fighting over Yuki so now they're somewhat ignoring her.

And as their friendship sort of deepened, Zero finally agreed to take night classes, which included living in the vampire dorms with Kaname and the others. He still refused to wear the night class uniform, much to the headmaster/chairman's dismay. And with this new change that saddened Yuki deeply, it also drove her to protect the secret of the school even more (even if Zero was no longer her partner).

And now school is out for the summer, which leads to our little story today…

Hunter and Prey: Bonus Edition

Summary: As Zero and Kaname's friendship expands, and with Yuki still left clueless, the chairman decides to take action, himself. What awaits the two boys now?

Bonus Edition 2: Lost Summer Camping Part 2

-

"I hated you, Kaname."

"The feeling was mutual."

"I sort of hate you still."

"Of course you do."

"Um…"

"What is it now, Zero?"

"How the hell-,"

"Mmmmphhh!"

"…"

"…"

"Heh. You talk too much sometimes, Kiryuu."

"What! What the hell was that for? Y-You…"

"I know…"

"You fucking kissed me!"

-

The word seemed to have echoed throughout the barren waste land of sand and cactuses. The two boys looked at each other, both having some kind of thoughts about their sudden predicament racing through their minds and as if as one, the two vampires got up from their crouch and walked off toward their camp site.

Zero glanced side-ways as they neared the site and the two clueless idiots, "How do you think the headmaster made this kind of mistake? Even if he is directionally challenged, this seems too huge of a mess to have it blamed on a wrong turn."

"No, you're right. It can't be a mistake," the brunette said, casually, and at that moment, Zero seethed at how calm the pure-blooded vampire could seem.

He hated a lot of things.

He hated vampires.

He especially hated pure-bloods.

And although it took some time for Zero to warm up toward Kaname Kuran, his supposed rival ever since he was taken in to the academy, he hated how he could warm up to him. He wasn't supposed to! But here he was, walking in almost comfortable silence with the very vampire that numerously threatened to kill him because his creepy obsession with Yuki Cross, the girl they both loved their own way.

How could they ever be friends?

How could Zero kiss him that day?

It made no sense.

It defied every written and unwritten law out there.

Enemies weren't supposed to be in each other's company like they were all of a sudden friends. They weren't supposed to kiss each other. No. It was wrong. It made Zero confused. And a confused Zero wasn't a good thing.

Because then, he might do something like that again just to try to un-confuse him!

Zero gritted his teeth as his jumbled-up thoughts flurried around in his mind, daring him to do something that would once again defy every one of his train of thoughts, the thoughts that kept him alive all those years, the ones that were taught to him at a very early age. He hated vampires. He hated vampires. He hated vampires.

And Kaname Kuran shouldn't be an exception.

But why was he now?

No, he wasn't.

He was still the enemy.

He was still his rival.

Rival for what though?

Yuki?

No…they stopped that childish competition a while ago.

So then, what were they rivals for?

What was he the enemy for?

Zero glared at a poor, defenseless cactus that was just there. It was unmoving and vulnerable and Zero had to reason that it was just asking for someone to glare at it or to take their stress off on it because it hasn't moved, because it couldn't move.

He still hated Kaname, right?

But then why was he calling him by his first name?

Zero froze in place, eyes wide.

Wasn't it Zero, himself who asked if they were friends in the first place?

It couldn't be.

But the more he tried not to remember, to think about something else, the memory become even clearer until it was like yesterday that they made their pact.

"Zero. We're here. Zero…"

The silver haired teen jerked out of his horrid thoughts in time to find that everyone, including the headmaster, Yuki and Kaname were staring at him as if he just grew another head. He gulped nervously and then turned to stare at Kaname in that annoyed way of his.

"I refuse…"

The brunette continued to stare at him emotionlessly, not bothering to interrupt but also not bothering to look like he could care what he was saying either.

"…to acknowledge you as my friend."

The two stared at each other for what seemed like minutes before the brunette haired girl clapped her hands together in a nervous gesture. She quickly scrambled in between the two, "Um…Zero…Kaname, I think we still need a fire."

The silver haired boy blinked and the two then turned to the girl. Haven't she realized they were stranded in a desert yet? They moved to stare at the headmaster. He didn't notice either. Zero sighed, "Like father, like daughter, huh?"

Kaname could only agree with him, "Yes. Very much so."

"Eh? What are you two talking about?" Yuki asked, tilting her head to the side.

They both sighed.

"We couldn't find any wood," the teen muttered.

The girl looked at the two uncomfortable boys with big eyes, innocent eyes, clueless eyes and Zero almost had to hit himself to pull himself together. He would not get lost in her eyes, he would not think about Yuki, he would not, he would not, he would not…

…and yet, all his mind could tell him, could whisper to him was: Yuki, Yuki, Yuki.

How odd…

Shifting around, the three teens found a suspicious gulping headmaster, looking at the map like he was actually nervous. Was he? Kaname frowned in deep suspicion. Zero glared heatedly. And Yuki only watched them all very carefully, almost as if analyzing their every movements and comparing with who knows what. It was a very awkward silence.

"Um…so…if we have no campfire, we might as well collect some food, right?"

The almost nervous headmaster had finally spoken up.

Although he didn't look up from the map, he could almost feel a twitch from the silver haired ex-hunter. Obviously he had suggested the wrong idea.

"Have you taken a look at this place, yourself, idiot-headmaster?"

That could only come from the silver haired youth himself. The man found himself thinking about the little chances it could have come from anyone at the site save the ex-hunter, himself. After all, Kaname Kuran, one of the only purebloods of his kind could never, ever say that – would never say that in a millennium. Yuki would never say that either. He couldn't possibly imagine the sweet little girl back talk like that to her father.

"Hey, are you even listening?"

"Yes, yes. I heard you," the man sighed.

"Well if you have then you'd know that we're freaking stuck in a DESERT!"

Boy was the youth loud. Then again Zero was always loud. It must be his vampire side kicking in. But wait…if Zero was a vampire and behaved so violently, then why haven't Kaname killed him already? Or at least tried to bite his head off like Zero was doing at the moment? It must be their different personalities he guessed. After all, Kaname was always so polite.

Zero could use a lesson or two from the pureblood. But he would never go into a room with him alone unless he had his gun. Headmaster Cross winced at the colorful imagery of Zero and Kaname alone in a room with no way out and the silver haired boy had his gun with him. There would be a lot of red in the room when they were through with each other.

But then again, Kaname was a vampire with powers. He was probably more powerful than Zero with his gun. And since Kaname was also most likely physically stronger than him, Zero would be the one pinned to the floor in seconds. That led the man down to a ton of questions, the strongest being: Did he even want to peek into the room with those two alone and Zero underneath Kaname?

Although that would definitely be a sight! He laughed out loud. He was such a pervert. The man finally stopped in his thoughts and looked from face to face to face. How weird. Why were all three of them staring at him weirdly? Did he say something? No he couldn't have. He would have remembered. So why then?

He waited patiently for the staring to stop.

It didn't.

He glanced down at his watch.

A minute passed.

Finally the brunette stopped and asked, "Why are you red…? Or do I want to even know?"

Zero was the second to come out of the trance, "Idiot-headmaster, are you by any chance a…you know…?"

The man winced, "I'm bisexual, Zero."

Zero grew red, "No…I didn't mean that! I meant, are you…a -,"

"Zero, wait…you're asking for his sexual preference? Didn't you ask me for that too earlier? You really must be gay then," the brunette muttered plainly.

"No wait…I wasn't going to ask that!"

"Zero," this time, it came from Yuki, "I thought you liked me!"

"Stop! I was just asking-,"

"Zero, is this a hidden confession? I'm touched but my heart already belongs to another. And father and son wouldn't be right-,"

"Cut it out! I was just going to ask if you're a pervert! Geez," the silver haired youth rubbed his head, glaring form one face to another until his gaze reached back to the headmaster.

The man blinked.

"Oh…"

He frowned for a minute before curving it upward again into a full out grin. Clapping his hands together, he folded the map and then looked at Yuki. He stood up and walked by the car before beckoning the girl toward him. While they were whispering about something out of the boys hearing range, the two vampires sighed, both frustrated with the day's events.

"Why the hell are we camping in a desert?"

Kaname only shrugged, before glancing at the unheard conversation by the car. He could just focus his sensitive hearing to eavesdrop on their conversation but what was the fun in doing that? He was also pretty sure the ex-hunter could do that as well but the youth was probably too frustrated to remember he had vampire hearing at the moment and even though it wasn't as strong as Kaname's, it was still better than that of a normal human's.

"Let's go somewhere away from them. This sun is killing me anyway."

"You telling me," the pureblood muttered, "I'm too sleepy to move though."

The hunter snorted, "I know an oasis around here. Come on."

"And how do you know, half-vampire?"

Zero shrugged, "I hear running water."

"We shouldn't go for too long though. The sun is making me fairly drowsy and I hear that deserts come with mirages."

"Yeah, yeah, I know. But since I used to be human, the sun doesn't affect me like it does to you."

"Fine, let's just go then."

-

"Oh fuck. Everywhere is just sand. I'm getting so freaking tired of sand, sand, sand."

The pureblood only responded with a light groan.

"Oh come on, Kaname. Stay awake, will you?"

"We're alone here."

"I know."

"And there's sand all over the place."

"Of course."

"And the sun is ten times intense now."

"Yeah, so?"

Kaname growled sharply, "It may not make you so damn tired like it does to me, but could you at least seem like you care at least a little?"

The silver haired boy frowned, "I'm the one who's carrying you. Doesn't that show something?"

"Show what? That you're not a real big heartless jack-ass? You're still a fucking prick."

"Since when did you start cursing?"

"Since the sun has become a giant flaming ball of gas that's out to get me."

"So…this is another side-effect to vampires if they stay out too long in the sun?"

"Something to that effect. Put me down now. I can walk on my own."

"No. Now shut up. I can get us to that oasis. I just need to focus."

"Zero, you're an idiot. I want to go back to the car in the shade. Put me down. We're going back before I do something drastic."

"Like what? The worse you can do is try and kill me. We're going to that oasis."

"Oh really?"

"Yes really."

"…"

"OUCH! What the hell!"

"Thank god. Now let's go."

"No way ass-hole. You don't just kick a guy trying to help you, you know!"

"You were kid-napping me. Now let's go before I have to drag you back myself."

"You ass-hole…"

"If you're not going willingly, then I will drag you back unwillingly."

-

"Where are they, I wonder? I'm sure we weren't gone that long."

"Kaname, you bastard! Let me go!"

The silver haired boy squirmed as hard as he could against the ropes around his arms. He didn't understand what had happened because one second they were walking through the desert, lost as anyone could be without a sense of direction at all – only going with instinct and then the next moment, he found himself face down on the ground with the dizzy-headed pureblood on his back, pulling out some strong ropes from literally, out of nowhere.

Now they were at the site they had been previously, trying to find signs of the girl and her father with the silver haired hunter, himself snarling madly at the amused brunette haired vampire. His arms behind him were bound together so he couldn't try and pull out his gun that was conveniently located on his belt for dire situations and he stood there, glaring at the perfect back of Kaname Kuran, the pureblood he once hated and the vampire who came to slowly accept him.

Right now though, he was currently debating if the promise they had about putting their hatred in the past could be broken. He usually kept promises, especially when it came to Yuki but now, right now he was having second thoughts.

The pureblood frowned, "I guess Yuki and the chairman had gone out somewhere."

The silver haired boy huffed, "They probably went to look for us. Now let me go."

"Not yet. You might try and kill me." The brunette walked forward and touched the silver gun by his side before tugging it off effortlessly.

Zero blanched, "That's not fair. You have powers. What if you try to kill me?"

"If I wanted you dead, you'd already be dead," the pureblood said coolly, tugging the ropes off as well.

Sighing, the hunter rubbed his hands together, looking down at the marks around his wrists, "You know…I hated you back then. Really hated you…"

"The feeling was the same," the vampire replied softly, lifting the handle of the car.

The boy walked forward a step as the vampire fell back against the seat.

"I still hate you. Sort of anyway."

"Of course you do. I'd think you insane if you didn't still."

"Um…"

"What is it now, Zero?"

He sighed quietly.

"How in the world…"

He took another step forward. They were almost nose to nose now. How did he end up being that close? It was as if his mind had drifted away, had stopped thinking and let his feet keep walking, let it have control. And now he was staring with wide eyes at the pureblood, at his face, at his lips…

He stood there, stood stock-still as that pale face came closer and closer. He wasn't going anywhere; he didn't move any part of his body forward. No, it was the vampire who was leaning closer, who was on the edge of that car seat, it was him who suddenly grabbed the back of his head, of his silver hair and pushed their faces toward one another's. And it was also Zero's fault too.

He had to blame himself for letting it happen, for being there at that time when Kaname was still not exactly right in the head. After all, vampires tend to get a bit edgy when left in the sunlight for a little too long and he still had no idea when that effect would wear out, if it would ever wear out soon. And if it did wear out soon, it wasn't sooner enough or this even would never have occurred in the first place.

The first kiss they had shared with each other had never been so deep, so meaningful because the youth had never thought of it before, of sharing a kiss with his rival but now, after that kiss, he had been thinking about it constantly. It couldn't fly out of his head. It wouldn't leave him alone. Whenever he thought he was alone, away from Kaname, Yuki, the headmaster, the day class girls and the night class vampires, the pureblood would somehow crawl his way into his mind, taint every one of his thoughts about that night, about that kiss.

So now, this one seemed so meaningful.

It felt like he was fighting his emotions but they were winning. They were consuming his whole being. One was lust, another was anger, and there were so many more that he couldn't possibly be able to identify them all right now, as the vampire smirked from on top of him, as his thoughts could only revolve around that pureblood.

Why couldn't he stop thinking about him?

Why?

He couldn't even find the strength to push the brunette off him. He couldn't, wouldn't, no matter how much his mind weakly urged his hands to start punching, his legs to start kicking and his brain to start thinking. He couldn't. He didn't want to. But that was such a silly thought. Why wouldn't he want to?

He hated the pureblood with such a passion all these years. What changed him since then? That kiss did. That promise did.

"I wonder what's going through your mind right now, Kiryuu. You sure like to talk a lot."

The silver haired boy blinked, looking around him. He finally noticed that the pureblood had pulled away as he was lost within his own thoughts. How could he have not realized it until now?

"What the hell was that?" he sputtered, touching his lips as though they were somehow contaminated.

The brunette smirked, "It was how it looked like. We had one before, a kiss you know."

"Well I know that…I know that…"

"Then why did you ask?"

"Why did you kiss me?"

Kaname shrugged, sitting back against the seat.

"You fucking kissed me…!"

The brunette frowned at him, "Are you complaining? I thought you liked it."

Zero turned red, finally realizing the truth.

Really, how could he not have realized it until just now? The vampire had a way of controlling him. He truly was controlling him. How? Through the power of lust. After all, Zero could never, ever fall in love with a pureblood.

It was lust.

It had to be lust.

And it would soon go away.

"Operation one, part one of: Zero-Kaname-Lovey-Dovey-Action, complete!"

"I can't believe we're spying on them, chairman-san."

"How many times do I have to tell you to call me, daddy, Yuki?"

"I'm never going to call you that so you can just forget it."

"Ah, so mean. When we get home, I'm never cooking for you two again, at least until you call me daddy."

"Nice try but Zero already knows how to cook. He wouldn't mind."

"I can't believe I raised such mean children!"

The End/ Lost Summer Camping

A/N: I hope you liked this last part of the story. There will most likely be more. And it might continue from this story but just remember, these stories are kind of pointless since the actual story is over. These stories are only here to keep me entertained and you guys entertained while I get my new stories up and more updates posted. I probably should have just created them as a new story all together instead of putting them on this story but...I didn't since there were still at least 50 of you guys who had this on alert (60 now). Thank you guys for favoriting, alerting, reading and commenting on this story and my others.

I'm glad to see that people actually care about them out there.

I'll try and get Pitch up soon and Grim Prince, Vampires of the Zodiac and all the others (especially Being Mortal) updated as well. Adios for now!
