+Happy New Years to all my readers! :) Here is the last installment to VampireHoLiC. It's been a long time since I wrote for this story. I graduated High School and now I'm almost through with College. A long time since I was the sophomore in HS writing this. Thank you all for reading my works all these years! Hopefully I gave this a good ending.

+Dream~TWELEVE+

+Two Lovers+

Doumeki stared with shocked, wide eyes. "What?"

Kaname sneered. "Who you're looking for is who I don't want you to see at the moment. You know nothing of who Watanuki really is." He tightened the grip around the spiritual warrior's neck and watched in satisfaction as he saw Doumeki's vision darken. "Sleep for me?"

"Bas..." Doumeki slowly slumped against the tree and his hand fell from Kaname's.

The pureblood smirked, pleased. "One less problem to deal with."

"Kaname-sama!" The blond noble appeared to him as quickly as possible. Catching his breath the noble said, "His Majesty is asking for Zero-sama." He paused. "Who is he?"

Kaname lifted the unconscious Doumeki over his shoulder. "One of his Majesty's people. Don't worry about him, take me to his Majesty now."

"Yes, Kaname-sama." Aidou bowed and they both zipped off in to the rain.

+Dreaming+

-Watanuki-

His breath was labored. "What is...happening to me?" Half-lidded eyes stared at the wall. He was cold, but it felt like a fever was ravishing him.

And that is how the Vampire Prince and Noble found Watanuki. Once they were in the room Kaname threw Doumeki into Aidou's unprepared hands. "Carry him." There was no room for discussion. Aidou nodded and looked on in silence.

Watanuki's blurred sapphire eyes caught Kaname's burgundy as the pureblood came closer. "Kaname..." Memories flashed around in his head causing a migraine. He winced."I know you..." He said quietly.

"Yes," The Kuran pureblood smiled gently. "I am a descendant. Come Watanuki, your lover awaits." He bent down and scooped the skinny King within his arms. "We need to feed you both properly." He cooed while feeling Watanuki's bare ribs.

Kimihiro shivered and leaned his head against Kaname's broad shoulders. "What do you mean?" He said dizzily. Being near Kaname calmed him some though. The pureblood's scent was familiar; it smelled like roses and spice.

Kaname kissed the King's cheek. "You'll see soon enough."

"Why should I trust you?" Watanuki asked even though he already knew the answer. This man was supposedly his son in another life. All these past memories were confusing him.

"I am your son. Or I was once upon a time." Kaname smiled fondly. "I was also a rival in love but I lost to you."

"A rival?" Watanuki whispered as his eyes lowered. "Oh..."

"It's okay, my lord." Kaname and Aidou walked to where Kaname's bedroom was. "I never have, nor shall I bare any ill will against you two. I'll love both of you to the day I perish."

+Dreaming+

Kaname and Aidou reached the room Zero was waiting in. Seiren quickly appeared and bowed at the vampires. She opened the bedroom door for Kaname to enter.

"Aidou keep him," Kaname nodded at Doumeki. "Seiren I will need you to find three humans. Bring them here discretely." Seiran nodded and went off to do her master's bidding.

Everything was so rushed, Watanuki didn't understand. "Where are...?" His voice got stuck in his throat when he smelled Zero. "Zero...Zero!" He was suddenly filled with energy, his eyes opened alert, and he turned in Kaname's hold. There, on the King sized bed, was Zero half naked and reaching out weakly to Watanuki.

"Kimihiro!" Zero crawled weakly to the edge of the bed. Kaname stepped towards the bed and sat Watanuki down. The two instantly attacked each other with kisses.

Watanuki pushed Zero on his back and kissed him senseless, running his hands through long silver locks. Two sets of pale hand were feeling each others' bodies. "I missed you." Kimihiro huffed hotly. He wanted the hunter to take him now despite the situation. The two were quite a sight. Watanuki was covered in dried blood and had no shirt with his long black hair wild. Zero was only in a bath robe covered in blood with his hair in disarray as well.

Kaname smirked, knowing he was going to get an earful from the vampires on his bed. "Ahem, while I do not want to interrupt your Majesties, both of you need to feed."

He stepped closer and Watanuki hissed uncharacteristically. Zero and Kaname paused, startled. The Vampire King stopped once he realized what he did. "Oh—I'm sorry!" He could feel heat rushing to his cheeks. "I...don't know why I did that."

Kaname smiled knowingly. "No problem, your Majesty. You were just being protective of Zero." He stepped slowly this time to the Royal couple and reached over to Kimihiro's right hand. A black elegant looking ring slid onto the King's ring finger. "Here is your ring back, my lord."

"Huh?" Kimihiro asked, "What's this?"

"Proof of your regency. It's ring you gave me a long time ago." Kaname smiled. There was a knock at the door. "Ah Seiren, come in."

Seiren came in with three unconscious humans, one girl, two boys. "Shall I put them over here, Kaname-sama?" Her monotone rang out.

"Yes, please. Also tell Takuma to control the Night Class. They are going to go crazy at the smell of blood." It was a wonder no one had awoken to Zero's blood but he had put up a strong scent charm which was still activated. But there was nothing wrong with being extra cautious. The pureblood gentleman pointed to a divan by the bed. Seiren delivered her load and stepped back to bow to Kaname and the Kings on the bed. She disappeared in an instant. "My Kings, tell me which is to your liking."

Both newly pureblood vampires stared on in shock. "B-but I don't want to drink someone's blood!" Kimihiro freaked out holding onto Zero who looked apprehensive. "You know I don't like drinking from humans, Kaname." Zero scowled.

"I know both of you have trepidations about drinking blood but you need nourishment. You two can not share blood with each other yet." Kaname pointed out with a small frown. "It's my job to make sure both of you are taken care of properly."

The pureblood lifted a boy's wrist and bit into it. Blood instantly hit the hungry vampires' noses and their eyes turned blood red. "See. What if you were to continue on this path? Zero you know that starving yourself is not safe to the humans around you."

The two Kings looked at each other and hesitantly nodded. Kaname picked the unconscious boy up and put him on the bed. "Drink." The pureblood commanded. Their vampire nature quickly took over and the two Kings bit into their meal.

The unusually quiet and slightly forgotten blond noble had decided to sit with the stranger in his hands on the couch. He was slightly blood drunk now that he slowed down and was being affected by all the pureblood auras in the room. He leaned the unconscious stranger against his shoulder and decided to relax. Unbeknownst to Aidou he fell asleep.

+Dreaming+

-Doumeki-

The monk groaned as the world slowly came in to view. At first everything was a blur and then he realized he was in the dark. He was laying against something or someone.

"What...?" The spirit warrior slurred. His throat hurt and his head was pounding. "Where am I?"

"You're in my room." Kaname said calmly from the other couch across the coffee table. The pureblood was reading a book. Moonlight streamed in from the big open windows. The night was quiet and cool air blew in caressing the drapes.

Doumeki remembered then. "Bastard what did you do to me? Where's Watanuki?" There was an anger underneath the monk's monotone. The spiritual warrior sat up with difficulty. His whole body ached. It was then he noticed a arm loosely curled around his waist. Doumeki looked over at the sleeping Aidou who was slightly drooling. "Who is he?"

Kaname smirked as he turned a page in his book. "He is Hanabusa Aidou, a friend of mine. I put you to asleep as Zero and Watanuki recovered. There is still a lot you don't know." The pureblood looked pointedly at the couple on the bed.

Doumeki turned around, causing a slight pain in his neck due to the bruises Kaname had given him. There lying peacefully on the king sized bed were Zero and Watanuki. Both were now clean of blood and lying naked underneath the plush black covers of the pureblood's bed. They were sleeping to gain back their energy after their passionate tryst. Of course Doumeki did not know any of this nor did he get why Watanuki looked different. "Zero? Watanuki?" Doumeki let some of his confusion slip through his mask. There was a sad ache going through his heart as he remembered Watanuki's torn expression from their argument. There was also jealousy for Zero since it was obvious this was the person Watanuki liked.

Kaname silently closed his book and walked around the coffee table to Doumeki. The Pureblood Prince gripped Doumeki's chin and turned the monk's gaze towards him. "Yes it's them. I have to apologize to you. I had no idea what you have done to keep my lord safe. I thought you were just someone he knew." The pureblood saw the blatant confusion and fear in the golden eyes of the monk.

"What do you mean?" Doumeki whispered. The monk was actually scared even if his face didn't show it. His spiritual powers didn't work on living beings unless they were possessed, or in this case they didn't work on half dead ones either. His strength was zero compared to the pureblood's or any vampire's for that matter. Both he and Watanuki were at the pureblood's mercy. Or just him by the eerily possessive stare he was getting.

"Watanuki told me how important you are to him." Kaname caressed the monk's neck, feeling the other shiver in fear. His inner beast was purred in delight. "I shouldn't have treated you this way, especially since you brought my lord to me."

+Dreaming+

-Kaname-

When Zero and Watanuki had finished drinking they were immediately calmed. The hunger for each other was still there but their instincts were no longer going wild. Seiren had come and taken the unconscious humans back to the Sun Dorms. The couple would never kill innocent people and only took enough blood to stave away the hunger. Seiren will erase the humans' memories and they will continue on like nothing happened.

Zero and Watanuki then looked curiously at the pureblood who was quiet during the ordeal. Zero spoke up first, "Why is he here?" nodding to Doumeki on the couch with Aidou. The silver haired vampire had noticed them after drinking from the boy.

Kaname was about to speak but Watanuki cut him off. "Is Doumeki ok?" The worried tone in his voice made the purebloods pause.

Kaname smiled reassuringly. "He's fine, only sleeping."

Watanuki sighed in relief. "I'm sorry."

"No apologizes needed." Kaname politely nodded. "I hope you two are feeling better."

"Thank you." Watanuki said. Zero also voiced his thanks. "Thank you."

A moment of silence passed."He's like a brother to you, right?" Zero said as he wrapped a arm around Watanuki, comforting the black haired vampire.

Watanuki smiled sadly. "Yes, he's very dear to me. He has saved me many times from evil spirits. In the world where we were born, I am a very rare and strong spirit medium. Spirits of all kinds are attracted to me, whether they are divine or evil. They can also gain powers if they eat me. Doumeki has been my classmate since we were little and has never mistreated me unlike the other children. It was only until highschool when the spirits had actually started attacking me. Because he is a monk with high spiritual powers Doumeki helped me escape a spirit once and our friendship started then, even if I don't admit to being friends with him all the time. When I started working even more for Yuuko-san by doing missions, instead of just being her assistant at her shop, the danger for me increased. Doumeki has been there every time. He has got injured plenty of times and could of died many times because of me. I don't know when his affection for me turned into something romantic but I could never deny him even if I wanted to. He's too close to my heart now."

Watanuki turned to stare into amethyst eyes. "I am not in love with him that way though. I can only see him as a dear friend and brother. I have only indulged him with hugs before and earlier today we kissed for the first time. But I only love you Zero." The King caressed Zero's cheek. "I can not deny my love or slight attraction for Doumeki because he's the only person besides Yuuko-san and Himawari-chan to acknowledge me. He's the only one who never treated me as a plague, was never afraid of me, or acted like I never existed." Watanuki sighed. "I've been selfish by not letting him go." Silent tears started to fall from the Vampire King's face.

"Don't cry." Zero lifted his own hands and wiped the tears away slowly from cobalt eyes. "I love you and I have no doubt about you Kimihiro. I understand when you love someone and you don't want to hurt them because you still harbor strong feelings for someone else. I'm sure Doumeki will understand once you talk to him."

"My lords," Kaname smiled. "I shall leave you to your privacy." Both Kings looked at him uncertainly but he gave a dismissive wave as he walked out. The pureblood was going to contemplate alone so he could give his lords their time. It was later in the day now with the sun setting. After telling Seiren to guard the door again, he sent word to Takuma that he wasn't going to classes.

Kaname let the memory fade as he trailed his elegant hand down Doumeki's chest. There was a need to claim the boy that he had felt ever since the outer-world pair came. It irked him greatly causing him to unnecessarily harm the monk. He was certain he was a puppet to fate since that letter from the witch all but pointed it out.

Dear Kuran-sama,

As you probably heard from Cross-san, my boys will be staying there for a while. It was only fate that sent them. I am simply the catalyst. My point in telling you this is that I want you to take care of them. I assure you will find out the reason why and will have no qualms. My lack of information is probably frustrating and annoying, but I care about those boys. Those boys are very important to many people, including myself. May you enjoy the rest of your longevity with your growing family.

Sincerly,

Yuuko

"You're the same as me. You love Kimihiro but you can't have him. Even if you have to let him into someone else's arms you'll be happy as long as your by his side." Kaname said as he placed his hand over Doumeki's rapidly beating heart. "I'm the same way for Zero. But now that they're both pureblood vampires it's impossible for you to stay by their side forever. Unless..." Kaname studied the petrified monk in his grasp. Unknowingly his vampire instincts took him over, tinting his eyes a dark red. Kaname observed that Doumeki had dark bruises in the shape of fingers around his neck. That slam against the tree also left unseen bruises along his tanned back as the monk was having trouble sitting up properly.

Doumeki gulped and looked out the corner of his eye at the door. The Pureblood saw he was contemplating escape. "You're smarter than you look." Kaname took his hand off the lean teenager's chest. "You can try if you want. Nothing is better than a good chase." Not needing to be told twice, Doumeki wobbled at first and quickly flew out the door. Kaname smiled. It was going to be fun.

+Dreaming+

Doumeki wheezed as he ran into the nearby forest. He was glad that there was a forest near the campus so at least he could try to hide. The spiritual warrior knew it was futile however. A vampire had unmatched speed against a plain human. Doumeki may be young and athletic but no matter, he was still fighting a loosing battle. The lean teenager started to cough as he kept running. He wasn't getting enough air. Even if Doumeki knew he was prey and that it was impossible to escape, his flight instinct kept his feet going.

After walking leisurely, Kaname followed Doumeki's scent into the forest. It was perfect. Kaname wouldn't have to worry about any humans or vampires since his prey was running deep into the forest. His inner beast was beyond excited and seeing the dark forest called to him like a natural habitat.

It was dark and Doumeki couldn't see where he was going. The moonlight was blocked by the bigger and thicker trees as he kept running. But soon the forest opened to some light "A meadow." Doumeki slowed at the opening and looked around. The meadow was full of blooming moon lilies. Their petals glowed a ghostly white and made the whole field glow in the abyss of darkness caused by the forest and night. The spiritual warrior made it to the middle of the meadow when he was caught around the waist.

"Caught you." Kaname whispered teasingly into the monk's ear. "You're mine now."

Doumeki sagged in defeat. "Are you going to kill me?" He just stared ahead at the darkness. Shizuka Doumeki was not the type of person to beg anyone for anything, nor was he really a type to be nostalgic. The teenager couldn't help but feel some regret however.

"In a sense." The pureblood said tauntingly. He flung the other as gently as he could to the ground. "Shizuka Doumeki, you belong to me and I'm going to enjoy claiming you." Kaname gave him a toothy grin. The Pureblood started unbuttoning the Day Class uniform.

Doumeki sighed heavily. He didn't struggle as Kaname undressed the top part of him. He wished his spiritual powers worked on beings like vampires. But his theory was correct when he couldn't summon his bow and arrow to his side. Once the top part of him was naked, Kaname bent down to his ear and whispered, "This is going to hurt a little." Doumeki closed his eyes. He felt the pureblood lift his head off the ground. He flinched when he felt a soft tongue lick him.

"Ah!" The monk gasped out as two fangs pierced his neck. Extreme pleasure shot through him despite the ache his neck felt from the bruises.

Hours later the Vampire Prince was carrying Doumeki on his back while he walked to campus. The monk had his arms wrapped around Kaname's shoulders and his legs were being carried by the pureblood. Doumeki had his head buried in the side of Kaname's neck, trying to hide from the world. It had been a mortifying and pleasurable experience.

Kaname felt his new son's breathing start to slow. Maybe he went overboard? No matter, it was almost dawn anyway. Vampires needed to be in bed soon, especially new ones like Doumeki. He was going to have to replace his and the monk's uniform. They both look like they'd just come from a horror movie. The Vampire Prince chuckled at himself. This was going to sow mayhem within the vampire society ranks and he loved it.

+Dreaming+

-Evening Breakfast Table-

It was dead silent at the coffee table next evening. After bringing a sleeping Doumeki on his back, Kaname had to face a freaked out Takuma and some of the Night Class students had peeked their heads out their room to see the commotion. Many were surprised to see their Kaname-sama carrying someone and that someone had a pureblood aura. The Vampire Prince had assured Takuma that he did nothing wrong and told everyone to retire for the day and that he would later explain what was going on. Then Kaname took Doumeki to his room where everyone else was sleeping. Aidou was still blood drunk and snoozed away on the couch. The two Kings were also sleeping with the lingering smell of blood and sex in the air. They had woken up at some point in the night and had went at it again. Kaname just went to Zero's part of the bedroom and laid down with his son to rest, which now lead to the current situation.

Aidou had woken up sometime before them and decided to go disappear. As each vampire had awoken from their slumber, Doumeki, Zero, and Watanuki had blushed remembering what transpired yesterday. They had gotten ready for the night in silence. Now they wanted answers. The Vampire Prince was sitting with Doumeki across from the two Kings.

"Kuran-san," Watanuki started with an eye twitching. "Why is Doumeki a vampire?" The King's pale skin against the Night Class uniform almost blended in together. He had let his long midnight curly hair hang down and he no longer wore his glasses. His eyes were an electric blue and held traces of anger.

"And a pureblood at that." Zero added, scowling. Despite that his beauty was eminent. He had his long silver locks in a high pony tail. His eyes were the same amethyst but brighter. The taming tattoo had disappeared but his piercings still shined in the light. He also wore the Night Class uniform.

Kaname inwardly sighed. Already feeling the two royals anger in their aura. "I turned him. He's a pureblood because I made him my son instead of a Level D using my magic." The Vampire Prince wrapped an arm around Doumeki's waist feeling his nervousness through the bond. "It's not something purebloods let other vampires know about nor is our magic a joke. I gave some of my life-force to Doumeki for him to turn."

Doumeki was silent and just stared at the other two. What could he say? He couldn't exactly say the Pureblood forced him to turn in front of Watanuki and Zero. The two would probably tear him a part. Their bond was already so strong that Doumeki knew that he would feel it if the pureblood got hurt. He wouldn't admit he was comforted by the Vampire Prince's hold no matter how good it felt.

"But why?!" Watanuki raised his voice. "Not only have you changed Doumeki's life but now his spiritual powers are tainted as well!" Kaname was about to retort when Doumeki cut in.

"Watanuki." Doumeki said in his monotone, interrupting Kaname. His voice is deeper, enhanced by the change. "It's fine."

"But that's..." Watanuki stared at his long time friend. Doumeki's tan skin was lighter and his deep golden brown eyes were brighter in color. His short chocolate locks had grown past his neck, curling inward and framing his face. He too wore the Night Class uniform. "Doumeki what about the temple?"

"My family can figure out." Doumeki said nonchalantly. "That's only if we never go home."

Watanuki sighed comically. There was no use talking to Doumeki when he'd made up his mind. It was like talking to a statue. "You're too calm about this."

"I don't see you freaking out about becoming a vampire, so why should I?" Doumeki blinked innocently.

"You're wrong you big oaf." Watanuki grumbled. "I did freak out. You just weren't there to see."

"Hn." Doumeki voiced.

Kaname cleared his throat, catching everyone's attention. "Zero, I think we should let Cross know what's happened. He might be worried."

Zero's face instantly paled at the thought of his adoptive father. "Do I have to go with you?"

"Do not be childish." Kaname gave the other two a pointed look. "The Chairman would want to see his adoptive son alright." Kaname stood up, pecking Doumeki on the cheek. The second king taking the hint got up with the pureblood and left the room.

There was silence between the two left in the room. Not an awkward silence but a tense one, both knowing their lives have changed. For the worse or the better was the question. Watanuki thought.

"Shizuka, I—I want you to know that even if I'm not in love with you that I still love you." Watanuki said quickly while he looked down at his clenched hands. "I love you as a friend, as a brother, and I would hate to loose you like this."

"Baka," Doumeki replied. "I know you don't love me. You never have or will love me that way, and I'm fine with that." The newly turned vampire got up and kneeled in front of Watanuki, clasping the clenched hands within his own. "Forgive me. I shouldn't have forced myself on you that day."

Watanuki's ice colored eyes let tears come down. "Baka," The Vampire King slid to his knees and hugged Doumeki's shoulders. "you don't need to apologize."

Doumeki returned the hug as the tears kept falling on his neck. "I do need to apologize. I love you and I don't want to hurt you in anyway. If Zero is the one you love I'll step aside. It doesn't stop my jealously though."

Watanuki gave a watery chuckle. "Good. It means Zero is handsome." He nuzzled Doumeki's neck.

Doumeki leaned his head against Watanuki's. "I will give him that." He let a small smirk come to his face.

+Dreaming+

Some time passed when Takuma had come to tell them to go to Cross's office while he took care of the Night Class. The two new vampires had gotten bows and stares on the way out of the dorm. Takuma explained it was because of their pureblood aura.

Once the pair made it to the Chairman's office they were greeted by an unexpected sight. "Yuuko-san..." Watanuki and Doumeki were frozen in the doorway.

Yuuko gave them a warm smile. "Come in boys." She wore her embroidered black dress, the one that meant business to Watanuki. "Ara, haven't you two gotten prettier."

"Oi! What does that mean?!" Watanuki yelled and pointed. "What are you doing here anyway? Aren't you supposed to be at the shop? No, in another world?"

Cross smiled and tried to calm Watanuki. "Well, she planned this from the get go. I didn't think it would happen so soon, Yuuko-san." Cross gave the witch a look. "Let's all sit down and discuss this." Kaname and Zero were also there with slightly shocked looks on their face. The Chairman was about to tell them something about the Vampire Council when the witch interrupted, coming through her magical portal out the floor.

Yuuko smirked mischievously as she hooked elbows with Watanuki. "Calm down Wata-chan. You're showing your new husband your bad side."

Watanuki blushed like a tomato and stuttered. "Wa-wa-wata-chan?! And how do you know—?"

"I know everything." Yuuko said innocently like it was the most obvious thing in the world.

The group walked from the Chairman's office to his living quarters in the hall attached. They were brought to a very cozy living room with foam green couches. Once everyone sat down in various spots Yuuko cleared her throat. "Zero-kun, Kaname-kun, please do not think differently of my boys when I explain some things." Watanuki and Doumeki had sat beside her.

"Kimihiro, Shizuka," Yuuko looked at her boys seriously. "Remember when I said the price to come here would be paid later? It was by turning you into vampires." She waited for the outburst.

"What?" Both Doumeki and Watanuki said at the same time.

"You-you used us as the price?" Watanuki's mouth was flopping open and close, very un-royal like. "How could you Yuuko-san?"

"It was inevitable my dear Watanuki." Yuuko smiled sadly. "You're soul did not belong to our world." She reached out and cupped his cheek. "It was going to happen eventually. I decided to change the way how. I saw the future of when it would happen, but Fay didn't have the time."

"Fay?" Doumeki asked.

"Fay, is an acquaintance of Syaoran and Sakura." Yuuko explained as she removed her hand. "Remember them Kimihiro? Something happened along the way of their journey and he got turned into a vampire. Then a malicious spell was put on him during a battle. The only cure was your blood Watanuki. When you reawakened as the Vampire King you gained the powers of all living vampires, their magic, and their life-force. Your soul is the original vampire. His presence, your presence, calms the beast within every vampire. I'm not sure how your soul got sent to my world but I knew it was fate when you ended up at my door. It was my job to bring you back home somehow. All I had to do was wait."

Both newly made vampires sat in shocked silence as did the was not much to be said. Kaname was wondering how did the King's soul travel outside their universe. Zero and Kaname already knew Doumeki and Watanuki were not from their world, but it begs the question of why Watanuki's soul left their world or by whom was it forced to leave their world. Cross is a wise hunter and decided not to question things. It was still shocking to learn how powerful Watanuki is however. Who would of thought that frail looking boy was the Vampire King?

"But," Doumeki broke the silence. "Who exactly are Syaoran, Sakura, Fay?"

"Ah, you didn't meet them I suppose." Yuuko nodded to Doumeki. "They're very important people of magic and of a different world. Watanuki has met Syaoran in person and only Sakura in dreams. He plays apart of their journey somehow. I don't know when and why but he'll help them too in the future."

"So, Fay is why you sent us after Zero's blood." Watanuki winced, knowing that their mission was blown. "You knew I would get turned into a vampire by doing this mission."

"I knew both of you would." Yuuko explained. "Your grandfather Haruka warned me Shizuka. He is wise spirit himself. I used that knowledge to throw a hint at you both before everything was set in motion. I did say 'You may not come back alive.'"

"We thought you were saying that because of vampires." Watanuki whined. "How were we supposed to know it was a hint?"

"I knew you might not have gotten it but there was nothing I could do. Either let you go to your original world this way or the way I saw in my dream." Yuuko frowned. "I didn't want that to happen so I let you two take this mission. Which brings up the rest of it."

Everyone perked up at that. "What more can there be?" Zero asked. He was a little irked his mate was at first only after his blood.

"Well Zero-kun, being turned into vampires paid the price of coming here and getting the cure for Fay. Giving Fay the cure is another price." Yuuko explained. "Kimihiro, Shizuka, I'll explain it more clearly this time. The price of giving Fay your blood is grave because you have to travel to another world and back to do it. If you decide to give Fay your blood Kimihiro, both of you, have to stay in this world that we are in 700 years."

Doumeki and Watanuki looked at each other. It was a very steep price to pay indeed. It wasn't because they couldn't do it, they were vampires now, but they would never see anyone they knew. They're world would be completely gone once the price was paid. "We can't see Himawari-chan." Watanuki whispered.

"I won't see my family." Doumeki said contemplating. It wasn't exactly a bad thing for him. They were never close to begin with.

"I know you boys would want to think about it throughly but Fay has been waiting enough. He'll die without a quick decision." Yuuko stated. "It's your choice what to do however."

"That's unfair Yuuko-san." Kaname spoke up. "I know the price must be paid but so suddenly?"

"Yes." Yuuko said with finality.

"Fine." Doumeki agreed. "We'll pay it."

"Oi..." Watanuki started but was cut off by Doumeki's look. "You're right."

"You can't back out once it's done boys." Yuuko warned. "It's spell binding, you know that."

"We know." Watanuki said. "But I'll feel guilty if Fay-san dies because of me." The Vampire King stood up. "Let's go Yuuko-san."

Yuuko stood up along with Doumeki, Zero, Kaname, and the Chairman. "I'm sure Fay will be very grateful."

"When will you be back?" Zero said with worry. His lover was traveling to another world after all.

"And they'll be safe?" Kaname added. The Vampire King and his heir were about to run off to God knows where. While Cross and the new vampires may trust Yuuko that does mean it sits well with the pureblood.

"They'll be entirely safe. Don't worry, only a day or two should pass in this world." Yuuko assured the worried vampires. "Time flows differently in each world, so while we may be there for a few minutes days may past here."

When Watanuki and Doumeki stood in front of her she leaned forward to hug them both. "My boys have matured so much." Watanuki returned the embrace with one hand while Doumeki leaned his head forward in Yuuko's hair. "We'll all miss you at the shop." The brief display of affection passed as she let go and straitened, looking serious. "You'll never see your family or friends again. Are you prepared?"

Both nodded. One because of his conscience and the other because he would follow Watanuki to hell and back. Yuuko nodded and a magic circle formed underneath them. The other 3 occupants jumped back in surprised as a purple light engulfed the trio and they disappeared into thin air.

Cross shifted a hand through his blond locks. "Well, that was mind boggling." Zero and Kaname looked at each other, choosing not to comment back.

-Meeting the other vampires-

The outer-world trio were met by two vampires inside some giant mansion. Watanuki was in open-mouthed awe as he looked around. Doumeki living in a huge temple was not impressed by the size of the mansion but the sheer luxury had him silently taking in the magnificent sight as well.

From what they could see the trio had landed in a parlor of some kind. The room had many different types of furniture people could sit on made of soft material. The pillows here or there decorating the seats were also made of silk. Everything had an intricate design reminding Watanuki of the flamboyant dresses Yuuko wore. There were huge windows if he was going by the large scarlet curtains blocking their view from the world.

Kamui and Subaru looked gorgeous as ever in Yuuko's opinion. Kamui wore his standard tight black leather suit, squeezing his body in the right places. Subaru only wore his ruffled white dress shirt without the cape and black slacks. All in all the vampires haven't aged a day.

"Yuuko-san, welcome!" Subaru greeted. He was always the polite one.

"Yuuko-san." Kamui said softly. He was still worried about Fay which put him in a even more grumpier mood than usual.

The four vampires stared at each other not knowing what to think. Subaru thought Watanuki and Doumeki were beautiful. Kamui thought Watanuki had a delicate physique while Doumeki had more of a lean muscular build. Watanuki and Doumeki thought the twins in front of them were handsome but deadly.

"Let me formally introduce you." Yuuko said smiling. "This black haired beauty is Watanuki while the handsome brunette is Doumeki." She then pointed at the twins. "Kamui is the one on the right wearing the tight leather while Subaru is his lovely twin on the left." Everyone sweat-dropped at their descriptions.

Yuuko continued, "Subaru and Kamui, Watanuki is your King now and has decided to give Fay his blood."

Subaru's and Kamui's eyes widened at the news and quickly bowed. "Thank you for coming, my King." They said in unison.

Watanuki immediately started denying it. "P-please don't bow! I definitely don't feel like a king so don't treat me like one! I'm just glad I can help Fay-san."

Subaru and Kamui looked at each other before smiling. "If you say so. We've heard a lot about you two from Yuuko-san. Thank you very much for coming and taking this task." Subaru said gratefully. He could tell Watanuki was nervous.

Yuuko, Watanuki, and Doumeki were then lead up the stairs by the twins. The newly made vampires took in the decorations some more. The mansion, or maybe castle, was made mostly out of black smooth stone. Portraits of other beautiful people hung here or there and the duo decided they were probably vampires. They stopped at an elaborate door with red leaves dancing on the wood.

Kamui opened the door for them to come through and Watanuki was greeted with the sight of a blond man peacefully sleeping on a king sized bed. There was a black haired man there too, sitting in a chair by the bed. His hair was short and spiky and his eyes were unusually red. He was dressed in some sort of armor that reminded Doumeki of their ancient Japanese culture.

"Kurogane," Yuuko greeted. "it's been awhile."

"Hello, witch." Kurogane nodded his head in greeting. "Who are they?" He looked toward Doumeki and Watanuki.

"Show some respect Kurogane," Kamui said surprising his twin. "they're here to save Fay."

Dawning came over Kurogane's face and he stood up to bow. "My apologizes. I didn't know." The samurai smirked softly.

Watanuki whispered to Doumeki, "He scares me." However, the room was silent so everyone heard. Doumeki smirked ruefully. He knew Watanuki was just voicing his tension.

"The blond man is Fay." Yuuko said. "Just let him bite your wrist dear." The witch patted Watanuki's shoulder. "Nothing to be afraid of."

"So you say." Watanuki grumbled under his breath. The Vampire King walked over slowly and shook the sleeping blond. "Fay-san?"

Fay groaned. His silky blond locks curled to his pale skin."5 more minutes..." Watanuki shook a little harder worried about how cold the other felt. "What...?" The magician's golden eyes blinked open. "Who...?"

"I'm Watanuki." Watanuki straitened. "I'm here to give you my blood."

"Watanuki?" Fay said. He coughed slightly. "Why are you giving me your blood?" The blond tried to sit up.

Watanuki quickly helped him up on some pillows. "I'm told my blood is the cure for the spell you're under." He offered his wrist to Fay. "Bite me." The magician looked confused before looking around Watanuki at the others.

"It's okay Fay." Yuuko-san soothed. "My boy is your Vampire King. He knows Syaoran and Sakura too."

Fay's eyes widened before looking into Watanuki's cobalt eyes. "Thank you, my King."

"I'm not your king." Watanuki smiled. "I'm just glad I can help you." The blond magician sunk his fangs into the offered wrist.

The rest of the visit was sort of an awkward one as Fay had skillfully aroused Watanuki to a certain degree during the feeding. But after a few minutes the magician vampire was as good as new with his color going back to the peach shade Kurogane was used to. Subaru had begged them to stay for dinner and to chat awhile. After some debate and Yuuko blackmailing Watanuki, Kamui and Subaru had the new vampires at their dining table explaining some of their history and why they were in a different world than Cross Academy. Fay and Kurogane told them they had split up with Syaoran and Sakura to seek aid for Fay's illness and that they'll meet up with the two soon in Clow Country, also another world. Watanuki and Doumeki were silently curious on how all of this could transpire. Watanuki especially told Fay and Kurogane to tell Sakura to meet him in his dreams again if she can. When all was said and done the two vampires left, having made new friends and saved a life.

"Bye boys," Yuuko said as she kissed each of them on a cheek. "I promise to visit soon." With that the duo were swallowed by purple light destined to stay at Cross Academy's world for 700 years.

-Clow Country-

Yukito, Toya, and Sakura stared at Syaoran as he ate. Syaoran's fever had broke while in the infirmary but leaving him with some changes. Syaoran's eyes were now a light amber looking color. Syaoran's hair had also grown until it reached his shoulders. He now had an unusual pair of sharp teeth and was currently eating a bloody steak raw.

The Chinese boy didn't mind the stares. He was just happy he wasn't starving anymore. It had taken some time to figure what had happen to him. Then Yuuko had sent Yukito a message explaining the existence of the supernatural creature called a vampire. Yukito quickly figured out that was what Syaoran had become and realized they had been starving the boy of his natural food for a month. Toya had to restrain Syaoran before Yukito gave him a raw steak, calming him down some. It lead to feeding the new vampire more raw steaks when he got hungry. Nothing was as good as human blood but they couldn't exactly go around asking for donors.

Sakura smiled softly and played with Syaoran's hair. He beamed in return. She was glad that Syaoran didn't die, which was what everyone thought he was going to. It was a mystery to her and her brothers how and why he had changed. Sakura had known him as a human her whole life. "Eat up Syaoran. We still have a long journey ahead of us."

Syaoran nodded. "Seconds please!"

-Cross Academy-

After the new vampires came back to Cross Academy they were jumped by their lovers and the Crosses. Apparently one or two days had been weeks by the witch's miscalculations. Doumeki, the newly crowned Vampire Prince since he was Kaname's son/mate, was sure their presence had caused mayhem within the vampire ranks. Many vampires were at first divided on who was to rule the Night Class. Their presence had also attracted more vampires to the school, causing the Council to become involved. Watanuki and Doumeki had opted to stay out of vampire politics and stated they were under Kaname's rule along with Zero.

Yuuki was also happy that she had more friends now that the two came back. She explained it had been so lonely for Zero and Kaname that they almost never spoke to anyone except to her. She was so worried that they wouldn't come back and it sickened her as well that she would never get to know the two. Watanuki and Doumeki had felt extremely guilty then but they made sure to do things with everyone to make up for lost time.

Doumeki yawned as woke up on a warm pale chest. He could tell it was still the middle of the day and too early to get out of bed. The former monk snuggled back into Kaname's hold. He could feel Kaname tighten his hold and kiss his head sleepily. They had made love many times since he came back and he was pleasantly sated. He wasn't sure about the pureblood though.

Across the pureblood threshold in Zero's bedroom the two Kings lay in embrace as well. They had just finished making love and were languidly kissing. Watanuki never thought he would have ended up finding someone to love as he had been alone since birth. He also never thought he would of met Yuuko-san, Maru and Moro, Mokona, Himawari-chan, and Shizuka. Who would of imagined his best friend would end up falling for him and then staying best friends after not returning his feelings. Hell, he was a vampire now for Kami's sake! But all his worries and doubts disappeared when Zero looked into his eyes and said "I love you."
