Hi guys! I've been wanting to do a Vampire Knight fic, so, I finally got to it! XD Anyways, I need to warn you of two things before you continue.

1) This does not follow the storyline of vampire knight. Characters are still the same as well as the setting, but this story twists some relations the characters may have in the anime or manag. (ie: Zero's brother is non-existent in here) Mainly because I've only read the first three books. XD so, yeah...There will be alterations to characters pasts for the sake of the storyline.

2) This is a yaoi story and graphic scenes will be showing up quickly and frequently throughout this story. So, if you hate malexmale, please, turn and leave.

AND NOW YOU CAN ENJOY! ^^

Zero stumbled across the fading grass area of the courtyard as his breathing heightened. The cold air fogged a bit at the tip of Zero's lips as his warm breath collided with the coldness. It hadn't snowed yet, but the season was just around the corner; The freeze ready to kill any plant life and bring down it's blanket of frost.

"NGH!" the grunt of pain slipped out of Zero's mouth loudly as he collapsed to the ground in front of the courtyard fountain. Water still flowed from the beautiful piece of architecture, but it wouldn't for long. Winter would put a stop to it.

Silver eyes begged for comfort as Zero's panting continued. His blood lust was pushing him over the edge again; how many more nights could he handle this before he snapped? That's what the pureblood thought as he walked out of the grouping of a few trees.

Kaname Kuran walked towards the fallen man and watched him groan in pain. Kaname's brown hair fell to his shoulders and danced in the wind as a cold breeze blew by him. His eyes matched his hair in color, but stood out more with a tint of red in them. Beautiful, yet deadly.

"How much longer will you keep fighting?" Kaname asked in a stern tone. His eyes never wavered from Zero as the young man looked up in shock. The pain and lust inside him left him unable to hear Kaname walk up or even sense his presence. Zero's eyes narrowed at the vampire as his panting slowed down a bit. "Get away from me," Zero demanded as hate dripped from his words.

The two of them had never gotten along or even cared for one another. Kaname found Zero repulsive while Zero saw Kaname as a monster; one that should be destroyed quickly.

Kaname could see the pain leaving Zero's face; obviously the pills had finally taken effect. "How many did you have to take this time?" The question was more in a mocking sense as Zero slowly lifted himself to his hands and knees. "Leave me alone," Zero growled as he brought himself to his feet, legs still wobbly from the adrenaline that had pumped through his body. "Or I'll kill you where you stand," Zero threatened.

"You've been throwing that same threat around for years. Perhaps it's time you find some new material." Kaname was always one to mock Zero's words. The pureblood enjoyed taunting the younger man, he got under his skin so easily. In one quick motion Zero pulled out a gun that was chained to the inside of his jacket. The metal on the gun and the chain that hung from it sparkled in the moonlight as the engraving, 'Bloody Rose' could be read clearly.

Kaname smirked at Zero's actions as he replied, "What a well disciplined guardian. Killing vampires for no reason now, are we?"

"No, just a monster," Zero spoke sternly as he took a step forward but swaggered slightly, still weak from what his body had just gone through. "You should lighten up, you'll hurt yourself."

"What do you care?!" Shouted Zero as his eyes told Kaname how much hate he had towards him. Kaname smiled as he placed his hand on the gun and lowered it away from his own face. "I don't. It's just a little advice...From one vampire, to another."

Zero growled as he let his gun fall, stopping mid way as it swung on the chain it was connected to. Zero's hand that was once holding the gun now held his forehead in pain. "I'm not like you." Zero managed to whisper as he felt a splitting headache pulsate in his skull.

"Nnn..." The soft groan reached Kaname's ears as the wind carried it away in the distance. "No, you and I are nothing alike. Thank God for small favors." Kaname retorted as he walked closer to Zero. Zero's silver eyes watched Kaname closely as he walked by his side, acting as if he was going to walk right past him and leave him be, but Zero reacted fast to Kaname's motion.

A silence fell between the two as Kaname held Zero's chin firmly, looking down on the man as the Bloody Rose was held against the side of his temple. Kaname smirked, he was amused that even though Zero was in so much pain, he would still be on his guard completely while he was around. Using any excuse just to pull that trigger on Kaname.

Kaname's thumb and two fingers tightened underneath Zero's chin and held him still as Kaname leaned forward. Zero's eyes widened as he tried to pull away from Kaname, fearful of the vampire's intentions. Though Zero pressed the gun harder against Kaname's head and struggled, Kaname's grip on Zero would not budge. And with the use of only three fingers; He was stronger then Zero had imagined.

Kaname brought his mouth to Zero's ear and whispered softly. "You look pale, Kiryu. Try to get some rest, you don't look too well." With those soft sarcastic words, Kaname released Zero and smirked at him in a charming manner. There were two sides of Kaname. The beautiful and elegant side that Yuki and the rest of the Day class had come to love; and then the dark side of Kaname. Zero knew Kaname was more vicious then he let on. He puts on a sweet face for everyone, but inside the moon dormitory, Zero could only guess how Kaname truly acts. He was determined that Kaname was pure evil. After all, he is a vampire.

"Are you sure about this, Kaname?" Asked the headmaster as the vampire nodded his head. "I saw it with my own eyes. He won't last much longer like this."

Yuki held her hand against her mouth in fear as she stood next to Kaname as the headmaster sat in front of them; behind his desk. "What should we do?" Asked Yuki as she looked over at the headmaster before glancing back over at Kaname, fearful of Zero becoming a Level E vampire. The worst of them all.

"Kaname-sama." The headmaster paused as Kaname looked away from Yuki and back over towards the man in front of him. "Do you think...blood will satisfy him?" The headmaster asked.

"You give him human blood and he'll go mad for sure. It'll sustain him for a week or even two, but after that, there would be no chance for the blood tablets to work on him." Kaname argued simply before the headmaster replied quietly, almost afraid to say the words to Kaname.

"I didn't mean human blood."

Yuki looked at the two in confusion as Kaname narrowed his eyes and replied coldly, "Never."

"Kaname, Zero needs your help. He-" the headmaster was cut off as Kaname quickly replied, "It's out of the question. His body would deny the blood anyways."

"What blood?" Asked Yuki as the headmaster sighed and asked, "Isn't there a way his body will accept it and help him?"

"The blood can't help him unless he wants the blood willingly. Otherwise his body will reject it. He has to want the blood." Kaname explained, anger still present in his voice. "I'm sorry...But...I'm confused." Whispered Yuki as Kaname walked away from the desk and gazed outside the window, looking across the campus to where the Moon dormitory stood. Dawn was coming and Kaname wanted to make sure he got this business done before it was too late. Zero wasn't speaking up; So, Kaname was going to do it for him. Even though he hated the bastard; he couldn't find it in himself to let Zero go on pretending he's fine. Zero was dying, plain and simple.

"The only way for a changing vampire-"

"He's not changing. He is a vampire. Whether he believes it or not, his body needs blood to survive. Kiryu Zero is no longer human. He's a vampire on the verge of becoming mad." Kaname stated, correcting the headmaster's original comment.

The headmaster nodded his head and sighed in response, "Yes, well, that doesn't change the fact that Zero can still be saved." Yuki's eyes lit up as she looked at the headmaster with a smile. "Really?!"

"It'll be nearly impossible to get him back on the tablets." Said Kaname, not bothering to turn and face the others as he spoke.

"But it can be done...With your help." The headmaster spoke softly as Kaname stared at the moon and narrowed his eyes. "Drinking blood to sustain yourself is one thing. Getting him to accept the blood, what he has become, and what his life will remain will require much more."

"Then help him Kaname. Train him. Show him how to control the hunger." The headmaster stood as he spoke, facing Kaname's back, hoping for a positive answer.

"In order to control his hunger he must first learn to control his anger." The response was blunt as Yuki stood there, still confused, but decided to speak up. "Kaname?...Please help Zero. I know you don't like him very much, but...He's my friend."

Kaname's eyes softened as he turned towards Yuki and smiled kindly. Kaname walked towards Yuki and hugged her gently as he whispered, "And I'll never understand why." The statement was stated in a sweet manner as he kissed her at the top of her head before letting go.

"Well?" The headmaster waited for some kind of sign from the vampire.

Kaname sighed in frustration as he looked back at the man and replied, "Get his paperwork changed. Starting tomorrow night, Kiryu Zero is apart of the Night class and will be residing in the Moon Dormitory.

Yuki gasped at the statement as Kaname continued, "I will try to help Zero...For Yuki's sake. But if he refuses to listen. If he refuses to train...Then he must be killed." Before another word could be said, Kaname turned his back on the headmaster and made his way out of the office. There was no slam to the door, no yelling, and no violence thrown during the conversation. Kaname took the situation better then what the headmaster had intended.

"So...He's going to train Zero to defeat his blood lust?" Asked Yuki as the headmaster shook his head and replied, "No, he's going to teach him how to cope with it. Zero is going to have to learn and accept the fact that he is a vampire now. He can't go back. He either embraces what he is or perishes."

Yuki had a worried look on her face but had to ask the question that was twirling in her mind. "But how is he going to help Zero do that?"

"There're methods. Zero is going to have to control his anger and his hate towards vampires. The only way he is going to survive is if he takes Kaname's advice. I just hope...When the training proves successful...Kaname will give Zero what he needs to become a sane vampire."

Yuki cocked her head in confusion as she asked, "What's that?"

The headmaster fell silent. Kaname was the only pureblood on campus; therefore the only vampire that could help Zero.

***

Kaname made it to the dormitory just in time to avoid the day class from coming out. He had been out longer then he intended, but there was no harm done. Except for the thought that lingered in his head.

As he entered the dormitory's main doors, he caught sight of Ruka laying on the couch in the main entrance way. She had a blanket over her body as her curly blonde hair cascaded over the couch's side; not long enough to touch the floor, but still at a good enough length to make her beauty known to any man's eyes.

"She tried to stay up to see you." A voice spoke just above a whisper. Kaname observed the chair that was near Ruka, but the back of it faced Kaname, unable to realize that anyone had been sitting there. Kaname watched the vampire stand to his feet and turn to glance over at him.

"Kain, shouldn't you be getting rest? It's late. The day class is already waking for their classes." Said Kaname, genuine concern in his voice. Kain's short blonde hair was in a messy style as he passed Kaname a small smile. "I'm fine, Kaname-sama. But you look like you could use some sleep. You look stressed."

"Tch, you have no idea." Said Kaname as he walked past Kain and began to make his way up the large staircase. "Good night, Kaname-sama." Kain spoke softly as Kaname reached the top of the stairs and turned his head slightly.

Kain received a small nod before Kaname turned the corner of the hallway and disappeared from his view. When Kaname reached his room he slowly shut the door and made his way towards the desk that was in front of his elaborate window. Everyone in the dormitory was paired up with roommates, sharing their own living quarters with someone else. Kaname was the only one who had a large room to himself. He was what Ruka liked to say, The Prince of Cross Academy.

Kaname quickly pulled off the charms that were a part of his school uniform before quickly taking off his tie and throwing the crimson fabric on top of his black bedding. Just as quickly his jacket was laid near the tie as well before he pulled the black dress shirt out of his pants, letting it hang in a baggy manner. There was no reason to keep appearances or be formal when he was in the confinement of his own room. A small sigh escaped him as he sat at his desk and pulled out the drawer to the right of him just half way. He reached inside, pulling out a bottle of pills and quickly shaking a single white tablet out before putting the bottle in it's rightful place. The drawer was shut as Kaname swallowed the pill with no water.

He hated the taste of the fake blood the tablet would transform into when combined with water. How Aido drinks it like that, he'll never know. Kaname looked at a photograph that was pinned to the wall. The image of Zero and Yuki's first picture when they had become freshmen at the academy. The lush eyelashes of the pureblood narrowed closer to each other, anger and hate present in the vampire's emotions. The photograph was pinned to the wall with a single dagger; it was a comforting image to see the blade going through Zero's chest.

Kaname's voice hummed a deep tone with loathing in his words as he whispered to himself. "I'll be damned if I ever let him drink from me."
