Crimson Depts by Rondomness

Rating: M

Summary: As Kaname goes to new, extreme highs to keep the ex – human safe, Rido gathers up his strength. But to fully revive, that takes a certain young pureblood's powers.

Warnings: If you're not the type who likes things that might be registered as "abuse, torture or beating" I would strongly recommend not to read this fanfic.

Spoilers: The story is somewhat jumping right into the middle of chapter 30, but I have chosen to let it be somewhat of a different story.

Pairings: As the story progresses there will be a lot of different pairings. Some of the most important is Kaname x Yuki (love), Zero x Yuki (partly friendship, partly love), Kaname x Zero (not any sensual, but a lot of blood drinking) and Kaname x Rido (abuse and torture)

A/N: When it comes to names, it gave me quite a headache, but I've decided to use the first name when writing in 3. Person and then a variant of the name, depending on the person saying or thinking it. An example is Kaname. With him, I would write Kaname or the pureblood. But if it's Zero talking or thinking, it would be Kuran or the pureblood. And if it's Yuki, it would be Kaname – senpai. Also, Rido will be referred to as Rido, not as Kuran.

Chapter 1: An Unstoppable Desire

The sun started setting over Cross Academy. Soon, the night class would all be up. The young silver haired hunter looked up at the moon dorms. Walking this path every night and looking up at those same windows, the hunter always felt a light shiver come down his spine. Inside that building, the monsters lived. The monsters, he was one of. The vampires.

He collapsed beside a tree, holding his throat. He was not like them. He was not.

"Hurry up; we have to be by the gates, when the night class comes out." Zero got to his feet and caught up with Yuki. She turned and smiled at him. Zero looking neutrally at her. He couldn't understand how she could smile at him like that. It was only about fourteen hours ago, he had been sinking his fangs into her, drained her.

When the gates of the moon dorms opened, it was clear that Kuran didn't understand either. His eyes glared viciously at Zero, his fingers curled into the front page on his book.

The other vampires had felt his carefully concealed, yet slightly visible irritation and anger since last night. Now, it was obvious, who the pureblood was so angry at. Even though the others didn't know why Kaname was in such a bad mood, they also felt a slight distaste for the hunter. He was always insulting, yes, even threatening the pureblood. That was completely unacceptable. Ruka and Hanabusa quickly stepped in between the two of them, glaring at Zero.

Like it's me creating a bad atmosphere. But off course. Kuran and his little pack of followers all had the thing in common that they were irritating idiots, thinking they were the most perfect and powerful beings. It was despicable. His eyes met Kurans with as much hatred, as he could produce at all. The pureblood just kept glaring at him.

Finally, the pureblood moved forward, looking as if he was going to ignore Zero and just walk past him. But in the moment, he reached up on Zeros side, he stopped. "I certainly hope you enjoyed Yukis blood, Kiryuu," he whispered in an all but friendly tone. "Course next time, it'll end with me ripped out your throat." He started to walk again, calm and controlled as usual, like nothing happened.

Zero kept glaring after him. How he hated the pureblood, as if he was any better. Zero knotted his fists.

Kaname looked out of the window in his room in the dorm. He pressed the little chess brick in his palm. Kiryuu. Even though he didn't want to interrupt, it had gone too far. It was the second time in a week. He almost felt like Yuki was looking paler for each day. What could he do? There only seemed to be one option left, but that was completely unthinkable. To give his pure blood to an ex-human was bad enough. To give it to Kiryuu, Kiryuu of all was far worse. But it would spare Yuki. If it did so, how could he then not?

Two days later, Zero could feel the burning pain inside of him rising to the surface. Even though he hated it, he never the less now found himself on his way to Yukis room, hoping she was alone.

The room was empty. He half hissed as he turned around and got out in the park to try and locate her. It was raining quite a lot and in a matter of seconds, he was wet to the skin. Searching the park was a bad idea in this weather, so instead he headed back to his dorm. "What are you doing out in the rain?" Kaname asked, coldly. Zero had been too dazed by the pain in his throat to identify the other person, but now his senses screamed vampire. He turned around and glared at the pureblood, standing under an umbrella, not looking like he liked what he was doing.

"Well, what are you doing out in the rain, Kuran?" he asked, not kind at all. "I'm looking for you. I don't want you to find Yuki in that state of mind. Now, come with me, before you catch a cold or something." The pureblood was far more polite and caring than he used to be. Zero was at high alert, not willing to go with Kuran, but it seemed rather stupid just to stand out there in the rain, so he ended up at following him into the purebloods rooms.

Kaname laid down the umbrella and started to unbutton his shirt. A faint smile tugged at his lips, when he saw the hunter's expression. Now shirtless he walked over to Zero, suddenly gripping his hair and pulling him against Kaname's body. He sat down on the bed, pulling Zero with him, until the hunter was almost lying on top of him.

Zero was stunned. He hadn't understood why Kuran suddenly had begun to strip and now he was just completely confused. Surely he didn't mean… To do anything… perverted did he?

"Kuran, what the h…" he was cut off, when Kaname suddenly and without warning pushed Zero's head down beside his neck. "Drink…" he hissed. "What? No!" Zero tried to pull away, pressing down on Kaname's shoulders. Kaname let Zero's hair go, only to grip firmly around his shoulders, holding him against Kaname, without a single chance of escaping. "Isn't it better to drink from me than from Yuki? Furthermore, my blood is pure. It will help you to control the beast within you. Now drink!" he harshly commanded. Zero couldn't say he wasn't intoxicated with the sweet, sweet scent, coming from Kaname's jugular. But this was Kaname. If there was anyone he didn't want to be depending on. Anyone he didn't want to have inside of him.

"Drink!" Kaname ripped Zero's shirt open and with his wicked talons, made five long, parallel rifts in Zero's chest. The blood was quickly rising to the surface, dripping down on the purebloods face. Zero gasped at the sudden pain, now squirming to pull away. "Drink, you fool," Kaname hissed in his ear, not letting him pull back. "NO", he didn't want this. Didn't want to feel the unwelcome bloodlust come crushing down on him. "You're sick. Why the hell are you offering that to me?" Zero asked, only semi – conscious as his eyes became bloodred, his fangs now fully extended. "I'm doing it for Yuki," Kaname answered. He was becoming somewhat pissed right now. Here he offered the ancient and great gift of his pure vampire blood and that impudent little brat of an ex-human just said no?

Now becoming impatient, just wanting to get over with it, Kaname viciously ripped the young hunter's chest until he was bleeding far too much to control his bloodlust. Zero was starting to cry out in pain and now completely unable to hold back his wild lust for the delicious blood just in front of him, Zero bared his fangs deep into Kaname's throat.

Inside the classroom, everybody tensed. Ruka and Akatsuki immediately looked worried at each other. The others looked for an answer in Takuma's face, but he was just as surprised and worried about the sudden scent as they were.

Ruka shuddered. "This scent… Kaname - sama?"

Sorry for the somewhat boring and short chapter. The next chapter will be longer. Just had to start somewhere. Comments and response are most welcome.
