PART 2, Enjoy!

"Alright class, that's all for today…"

Ding Dong Dang

The school bell rang indicating the end of school period for today. Ichiru quickly got out of his seat and approached Zero.

"Ready to go back?" Zero asked as soon as he noticed his brother was standing in front of him, only to receive a shake of his head at his question.

"No, I got something to do." He then apologized. "You head back home first. Tell mom I'll be late for dinner."

"Where are you going?" Zero had to ask because usually they were like a Siamese twins joined at the hips. They would go almost everywhere together and they had the same cycle of friends. So it was weird when Ichiru would have plan that he didn't knew off or wasn't invited. Besides they only been back for a short while.

"The guys from elementary school are meeting up."Ichiru spoke cheekily. He sounded so excited and his face was glowing.

'Oh…' If it was in elementary school, they did have different cycle of friends. Ichiru was always the cheerful one so he was kind of a friend magnet. He would be surrounded by friends and would be the group leader. It was his natural ability.

As for him, he liked it more to spend time alone, taking a nap or being together with… Zero raised an eyebrow. 'Eh…funny, I can't remember."

"Ro… Zero? Zero-nii?!" Ichiru snapped him out of his thought, looking up at him. "Are you listening?"

Zero smiled speechlessly. "Sorry, I didn't"

Ichiru sighed. "Mou~ are you going to be alright walking back alone. Your head is always in the cloud."

Zero waved him off. "You're such a worry ward. Nothing is going to happen."

"Really?" Ichiru raised an eyebrow at him. "The last time you were like this, that bastard Kuran kissed you in front of me." 'Not to mention a lot of people saw it too.'

Instantaneously, Zero blushed red from both embarrassment and surprise. He tried hiding it with a frown. "Hey, don't remind me of that and quiet. Other is going to hear ya." Zero whispered desperately.

Ichiru sighed inwardly. 'If only he knew… the whole student body is already gossiping about it and the guys from elementary school already thought it would be like 'that' between you two…' Then as if remembering something, Ichiru grabbed his bag. "Anyway, I'm going to be late. See you at home."

"Kay, don't get in trouble."

"Right back at ya, bye."

"Bye." Ichiru left and Zero watched as he disappeared behind the sliding door before continuing his forgotten task, packing up. As he did, he glanced out of the window towards the school gate. Everyone seemed to be rushing to get home.

'Ba-thump'

And there his heart skipped a beat when he saw a certain figure waiting at the gate.

'Kaname…' Zero stared absent-mindedly. 'I wonder if he minds going back together.'

Finished he slung his bag over his shoulder and quickly left. But as he walking through the corridor, he noticed a lot of students returning into the school and was mumbling about taking the back door to go back instead.

His curiosity perked and he wondered what made them turned back. So he increased his steps and hoped he didn't miss Kaname by mistake. As he was getting near the gates, he already passed by a lot student who seemed more like they were running for their life and when he got there, he finally knew why.

There was a group of delinquent from other school gathering around the school gate, looking pissed off by something and that something got to do with Kaname. Fear for Kaname getting hurt got the better of him so Zero rushed towards the older boy.

"Kaname."

But before he could say anything else, Kaname threw his gakuren at Zero. "You're in the way." He said as he got in front of him, back towards him.

Zero caught the article swiftly but he end up looking like a klutz when he lose grip on his bag instead. His little action gained the delinquents' attention and instantly they were erupted into a huge laughter.

Kaname face palmed. All his previous seriousness gone. He gave Zero a -are-you-fucking-kidding-me glance.

Zero shrugged his shoulder mouthing sorry.

Kaname sighed inwardly but when back to frowning when someone from the group of the delinquents approached Zero with one gleeful look.

"Zero?" he said in upmost astonishment and shock tone. His green eyes were shining.

Zero blinked, trying to recognize the teen. He seemed familiar. Meanwhile Kaname just glared at their close approximate.

"Kaito?"

As soon as the word left his mouth, Zero was enveloped in a hug. "Oh~ you remembered me. I'm so happy!" he exclaimed, hugging Zero more tightly.

How could he not? Kaito was one of his annoying friends from elementary school. He was a transfer student and he was cold as Popsicle, ignoring everyone including Ichiru. Although many wanted to make friends with him, he shut them out and he broke all the girls' heart that had a crush on him.

But for some reason, they go along together and they always played together. But Zero couldn't really stand him when he was in his bipolar personality. He would cling to him like a leach but pushed other away from him then.

It was like Zero was his only friends. He liked skin-ship too much which Zero was not so comfortable with. And even now it won't change. Kaito was holding his hands and waist so familiarly. They were not that close for Zero to feel at ease with his touch.

In other words he's getting creepy Goosebumps all over.

He laughed awkwardly, his head spinning in full speed to find a way to escape without offending the brunette. Just as he thought he was out of option but to say it out straight, Kaito was flung 10 feet away from him by a kick to the temple.

"Hands off, maggot." Kaname growled and without wasting time he grabbed Zero's hand and stomped away.

They end up in a train back together and Kaname still hadn't let his hand go. Fortunately there were not so many people in the train and they were minding their own business. The same went for Kaname because he was looking forward, in a deep thought as they stood side by side, leaning against the railing beside the door.

They stayed silent throughout the ride and even when they arrived at Zero's house, they still didn't say anything to each other. The silent was killing Zero. They stopped in front of Zero's house and Zero turned towards Kaname although he didn't look at him.

"Erm… my house..."

In a total daze, Kaname looked up towards the house as if he just realized they were walking home. He stared off into the sky before Kaname let go of their hands and pushed Zero against a wall. Zero closed his eyes, bracing for the collision except it didn't come. Instead a gentle hand caressed his cheek. Opening his eyes, his gaze met Kaname's solemn one. Zero was confused and as so, slowly fire of anger crept into those dark wine orbs.

Kaname's hand slipped down, snaking behind his nape and without a warning, Kaname grabbed a handful of hair and brought Zero's face closer to him. "Why did you remember him?"

"What?" Zero was more than confused now.

"Why do you remember Takamiya Kaito?"

'And not me?' His eyes seemed like saying so.

"What do you mean?" Kaname's grip tightened and Zero winced. "Ka—you are hurting me…"

"He was there too…" the brunette mumbled. He lifted his eyes into Zero's. "He was there too! How was it you remembered him but not me?!"

There was silent.

"Ka—"Zero tried to reach to Kaname.

Kaname let him go and pushed him aside.

"Don't talk to me now. Go inside."

He said and there was no room for an argument. Zero's hand hung awkwardly. His eyes squinted in hurt and guilt. He made Kaname grumpy. He retracted his hand to his chest, gripping his palm. Kaname hated him now.

Thus, Zero did as he said and closed the door behind him after taking a glance at Kaname's leaving figure.

After bath, Ichiru got himself a bottle of mineral water from the fridge down stair before ascending the stairs again to go to his room. On the way, he saw his brother room door was wide open with the light still on. Sound of boxes and paper being moved reached his ears, perking his curiosity. Interested, he walked to his brother room and leaned at the door as he glanced around Zero's messy room.

"Wow, Zero-nii what are you doing? Unpacking or rampaging?" Ichiru asked, surprised at the state of his elder twin's room. Just a couple minute ago it was spotless and the boxes were lined pretty neatly against the wall. Now, it was all messy with papers and things lying around.

Zero ignored him and continued to throw a mass of paper over his shoulder.

Ichiru watched Zero's action for a while in silence as he drank his water. His brother looked determine and a little desperate. Did he lose something?

"What're you looking for?" Ichiru asked.

Zero stopped his movement, pondering before letting his form relaxed and leaned against the leg of his desk. He picked up something behind him and browsed the contents.

"Why don't we have a photo album which I am with Kaname?" he asked.

"That's because you're looking at my photo album." Ichiru told matter of facts.

Zero gave Ichiru a stare. "Don't be a jerk, Ichiru. I'm serious."

Ichiru pouted. "And so am I. That's mine." He then took it and mumbled under his breath of how it got in Zero's room instead. "You don't like other touching yours so you always hid it, remember?"

Zero made a face. "I don't. Amnesia remembers?" he said matter of facts. It was weird he knew everything else except things which got to do with Kaname. That was an extreme suppression of memory. Just what the heck happened? "Anyway where is it?"

"How should I know? Like I said you hid it."

Zero thought he should've known. Besides, he was the one packed his things before the move. One way or another he should have come across it somehow. But since he didn't know the album even looked like, there was no way he knew and he never found something like a photo album before.

Zero suddenly gasped and frowned. "Oh, no! You don't think I have lost it, do you?"

Ichiru thought for a second. "I don't think so. I remembered seeing a glimpse of it when you were packing."

"Really?" light gained in his eyes. "How did it look like?"

"It looked like maroon diary with a lock."

Zero tried recalling seeing the book and seconds later he snapped at a box and pulled out the said album. "Found it." He whirled it at Ichiru. "Is this it?"

"Yeah…"

"Oh… I thought it was a notebook or something so I didn't really pay special attention to it. Also it's locked."

"That lock doesn't really need a key. It's a password lock. You just need to key in Kaname's birthday."

Zero slowly stared at it as if being overwhelming by it. "Kaname's birthday…" he mumbled and Ichiru realized that maybe Zero didn't remembered about it too. Just as he was going to help his brother with the lock, it snapped open.

'CLICK'

"It's unlocked!"

"You remembered."

"I did?" Zero's eyes snapped at Ichiru and blinked stupidly before it drown in him. "I did! Didn't I?" His smiled like he just accomplished something big. "That's weird… haha… maybe it's true we're best friend after all."He babbled alone, his smile never left his face.

Seeing that, Ichiru suddenly felt like he was interrupting so he left his brother alone with a small smile of his own.

That night after walking Zero back to his house, Kaname went back to his house and immediately changed into something decent and left for a night club. He had been doing this since he was in middle school. How he did it is better not to be made known.

He usually came with his group but today he was in no mood to socialize. He just didn't want to be somewhere silent where he's going to think about what happened lately especially with Zero.

Kaname frowned. There he goes again, thinking about Zero. Kaname took another shot of his drink. It burned his throat but he could care less.

"Hey, Kaname. What are you doing here?" a blonde asked as he took a place beside the brunette.

Kaname ignored him and asked for another drink.

The blonde chuckled at being ignored and since he knew why. "Senri told me, Zero is back." He grinned. "So what are you doing here?" he asked, somehow enjoying his friend's misery.

Kaname glared at him. "Take that stupid grin off of your fucking face, Takuma. I'm not in the mood." He growled then looked away.

Takuma studied his leader before turning his body and followed Kaname's gaze to the dancing floor. There're a lot of people tonight, dancing and gridding against each other all sweaty and everything.

He knew Kaname was not looking at them but just staring into space and thinking about his 'cat'.

"So… the rumor is true. Zero did forget about you."

He hit homerun when Kaname suddenly sulked. "I don't want to talk about it."

"If it bothers you so much, you shouldn't be here. You should be helping him remember although it hurt. He'll remember eventually."

Kaname was silent.

"Besides you should remember that many is aiming for him and seeing he's now turned into some beauty..."

Kaname shoot up abruptly.

"Later." he left and Takuma smirked. "That was easy."

A few minutes later, Kaname found himself in front of the Kiryuu's house looking up at Zero's room window. He stood there staring for about maybe 5 minutes when suddenly someone slid the window opened. Immediately he crept into the darkness where he would be hidden from anyone sight.

Not long after, he heard Zero's mom voice. "Zero- honey, what's wrong?"

Zero glanced around before he turned to his mom. "Nothing. I thought I heard something."

His mom laughed. "It's probably some stray cat. Come on, close the window. The mosquito is going to enter."

"Alright." Zero said last and Kaname heard the window closed. He went out of hiding and stared one last time before leaving.

For days Zero didn't see Kaname anywhere. Not in school and not in town. His house too didn't seem like anyone was in there. But then almost a week later, they met up and walked together to the train station. They had to ride train to school which Zero really hated. As they were waiting for their ride, Zero thought back to couple minutes ago when they meet Kaname.

"Ichiru we're going to be late if you don't come out right now!" Zero called as he got out of the gate. They were not late actually but Ichiru was taking his sweet time getting ready and there's a chance they're going to be late if it continued like this. He turned and his heart almost jumped out of his chest when he noticed someone was leaning against his house wall.

"Ka-Kaname?!" he squeaked.

"Good morning, Zero."Kaname greeted. His lips pulled a little smile which softened his feature.

Zero gawked for a second but then realized he hadn't replied the older brunette's greeting. "Morning." He mumbled as his eyes glanced at the handsome feature of the brunette. Today he's wearing thick black rim glasses and done his left side bangs up with bobby pins, showing off his silver piercings. His bad ass looks drew attention like usual.

"Listen." Kaname started, looking abashed. His hand rose to his back, rubbing his nape while his eyes were looking elsewhere. For some reason his usual compose was no there today and he seemed hesitating. "I'm sorry about the other day."

He finally dropped the bomb but Zero didn't catch it. His mind was rather busy thinking of what could be the reason Kaname was here at his house out of the blue like this after going under the radar for a few days. But when he realized Kaname was looking at him expecting some respond, he drew back.

Kaname twitched and Zero's brain quickly processed what he could remember hearing the word the older boy had asked him. Fortunately for him, he managed to interpret some of the words he heard in his daze to form a question.

"No… it's ok. I know my circumstance always cause annoyance." Zero confessed which caused another twitch from Kaname.

The older boy's expression slowly returned to normal and his eyes narrowed. "It was not ok and I'm sorry." He apologized again. This time it was sterner.

'Why does he sound angry?'Zero didn't know how to react to that so he just stared in confusion at Kaname before Ichiru came out, yawning from the house.

"Nii-chan, let's g—."

As soon as Ichiru saw Kaname, they fought so the previous conversation was forgotten as if they never talked about it in the first place. Nevertheless Zero couldn't forget that Kaname greeted him with smile. Zero was surprised but he felt warm. He thought it was going to be hard talking to Kaname again after the other day event but Kaname was the one first to greet him and he smiled too. His smile was just like in the pictures.

They seemed so close in the pictures and maybe too close. But they were kids and kids don't know what personal space meant yet. He also had many Kaname's picture. There was a lot and more than what he had of his family and other friends. What was that all about?

Along the way to the train station, Kaname didn't talk to him nor did he respond to Zero's attempt of conversation. He gave a curt nod once in a while but that was all. It was like his head is full with heavy thought.

Meanwhile as for Kaname, he decided to give some thought on Takuma's suggestion and he had looked up Zero's condition in the internet. Roughly speaking, the amnesia can be fixed without being treated but one way to help them remembered faster is by reenacting the event that caused the amnesia to occur.

Remembering what was the cause; Kaname winced and covered his right eyes. It was hurting again.

Zero looked around, Ichiru seemed to be in his own world so he didn't realize what was going on at the back but it was awkward. Although Kaname was the one to start apologizing about the other day, he seemed reluctant to bond with Zero.

He seemed so happy in their first and second reunions. The disappointment in his eyes after he found out about Zero's memory condition stung his heart though.

The silent continued. It was a full five minute awkward moment in Zero's life. He already felt more depressed.

"The door will be closing now."

Zero blinked. When did he get into the train? He looked around and dread. It was crowded and he could barely breathe. This was why he hated train especially in Tokyo. They were too crowded and packed.

Zero suddenly found it hard to breath and he winced when a sharp edge of suitcase digging in his side. He especially hated crowded train. He always got crushed.

An arm circled around his waist, holding him up as he felt his knees buckled and he looked up. Kaname was looking concern, holding his body close to him while shielding his sight from other around him.

He didn't say a word but Zero found himself feeling better now.

When they got to school, Kaname disappeared in the crowd. There was a tint of disappointment when he realized it.

"Where are you heading to, Nii-chan?" Zero was pulled back by the wrist by Ichiru.

The older teen caught himself. "Erm…"

As if he understood what his brother was going through he let go of the hand and readjust his bag. "Make sure not get caught by the teacher." He said and left for class while Zero disappeared into the crowd.

Kaname decided to ditch the first period. He needed to think about something really bad. He had decided to accept Zero's condition and tried not to be so irritated when Zero seemed confuse whenever something about them came up. He apologized too and wanted to start anew but he couldn't. It was so awkward. The silent on the way to the train station and school was the proof.

Actually last time how did they first become friends? How did they become close? Why did Zero decide to follow him?

Kaname had no idea why Zero liked him so much. When he remembered the past, Zero was not one to be persuaded easily. Kaname may flirt with him all the time but usually Zero gave no respond. He was even rejected when he asked to be friend with Zero when they first met. Although he was like that, for some reason he attached to Kaname awhile and he displayed a dark side whenever someone tried to snatch Kaname from him.

But—Kaname frowned—the Zero now is so different. He's not saying that Zero's personality changed but there's something missing. Maybe it was his aura…the air around him, it was not intense enough. His aura which made other cowered at mere glance from him. The thing that made people did as he told and challenge anyone to dare disobeying him. The challenge, especially his fierce eyes had so much sent cold chill through his body and excited him.

Kaname's heart beat with trill. He felt like he was alive again at remembrance of the old Zero. But his daydreaming was not long.

"I found you, Kaname."

Suddenly someone was in front of him.

"Are you ditching class?" the teen asked.

Kaname stared and a smirk came up his face. 'But the innocent Zero is not so bad…'

Zero squirmed uncomfortably. They were in an old building of the school. It was a lab which was no longer in use but it was decorated to be used secretly by students. In the room there was a red couch, some fluffy pillows, air conditioner, freezer and maroon, heavy draped of curtain which created dark atmosphere in the room.

They were sitting on a mountain of pillows with Zero sitting in Kaname's lap while the latter man's arms wrapped around the former's waist.

"Kaname this is embarrassing…" Zero squirmed around, trying to get Kaname to release his hold on him but he didn't get him to budge at all if anything Kaname only drew him closer.

Kaname settled his chin on Zero's shoulder. 'This is comfortable…' He thought. He peeked at Zero's expression. He was uncomfortable and tense. Mischievousness quickly bubbled in his devilry heart and a gleam filled his orbs. Slowly, tempted by the thought and heat between them, he drew closer and drank in Zero's scent by burying his nose in Zero's nape.

Zero flinched, quivering as a result of Kaname's action. He tried peeking at Kaname to see what he was doing. He couldn't though since Kaname's face was buried in his neck.

"Ka—Kaname?"

"Shhhh… calm down. I'm not going to do anything." He whispered into Zero's ear before chuckling lowly.

Zero flinched again. His ears were his sensitive spot.

"Ah!"

Blush crept across his cheeks as his eyes clouded. Kaname sneakily nip at his ear loop and sucked at it.

"Ha—stop~ you said you won't do anything…" Zero gasped when Kaname placed several kisses down his neck before going upward again by licking. His body trembled. The more he tried to strain his body from felling the foreign pleasure, the more it trembled.

"Wa… em~"

Kaname begin nipping and sucking Zero's soft neck as a pair of hands crept up, sliding from his waist to his chest so skillfully caressing, feeling his body through the thin school uniform before it stopped and Kaname ran his finger and nails down Zero's chest in slow manner.

Zero muffled his moaned by biting his lower lips as not to let a sound escaped him but as soon as Kaname ran his fingers down his nipples, he let out a gasp.

"Ah!"

Kaname smirked.

Zero was feeling so much, he's trembling and twitchy. His reaction was so innocent; it sent Kaname's devilish side to dance around in merry. He felt like teasing Zero to tears. Zero seemed like he was so close to one too.

Seeing the expression, Kaname licked his lips, smirking. He suddenly grabbed Zero and whirled him around before capturing his delicious lips to engage in a deep kiss.

'SLIDE!'

"Kaname-senpai, are you in~!" the door to the room burst opened and walked in a blue eyes blonde with a happy grin on his face, only to gawk a second later when his eyes settle on his senpai.

Kaname-senpai was in a heat kissing session with another boy.

Aidou's silent caused confusion in his cousin so Akatsuki entered next. "What, Hanabusa? Is Kaname-senpai not in after al—" Akatsuki froze.

The scene in front of him was not something that Aidou witness. But… with someone on Kaname's laps, trying to catch his breath and Kaname's dark gaze, he knew that he and his cousin had just disrupted those two alone time. Akatsuki blued. This meant trouble. He just hoped his cousin shut his big mouth this one time.

"Kaname-senpai, you're GAY?!" Aidou suddenly exploded.

Akatsuki face-palmed.

To be continued… Sorry but I can't end it yet.

Review please…
