Chapter 3

Yuuki grinned evilly when the bottle stopped pointing into Zero's direction, as if she was praying for that to happen right from the start. Zero's eyes were wide and his stance rigid as he stared at the bottle, as if expecting it to move again and change direction.

"Zero…" She called his name in such a sickly sweet voice, barely containing her sadistic smile from erupting on her lips. "Truth or Dare?" Even Aido and Kain gulped at the way her eyes shone with malice. Kaname only nodded his head in approval. His sister was starting to get their mother's character too.

Zero immediately gave her a glare. He initially wanted to choose 'Dare' since the look on Yuuki's face was much too dreadful to even consider. However, he already had the general idea of what the jar of papers contained. After watching Ruka's breast get fondled by Aido from underneath her clothes and seeing her blush up to the tips of her awfully long hair, Zero had already gone immobile from his seat. Kain was also given the dare to kiss Yuuki with tongue and Zero felt his own cheeks redden at the sight. He didn't know that Kain was such a great kisser to the point where even Yuuki got turned on. The scene only stopped when one angry blonde practically dragged his cousin away from his lover. Also, both Kain and the blonde would most likely receive severe punishments for even trying to do something like that to a vampire princess of all people, if Kaname's dark aura the whole time was any indication. Kaname was also dared to give Ruka a love bite on both of her inner thighs, resulting to her blushing and panting like crazy. Zero, for some reason, felt unsettled at the scene. His eyebrows furrowed and thought how wrong it looked.

He didn't dwell much on his strange feeling since he knew nothing good would come of it but he did give Yuuki another glare for making such foul dares.

Aside from that, Yuuki did a strip dance on him and he was at least glad that his little Zero didn't react much or he would also be in Kaname's list of people to kill after everything was done. However, the most disturbing and at the same time arousing dare so far was Aido giving a blowjob to his own cousin. Both of them looked quite disgusted as Kain pulled his cock out from his pants for the blonde to suck. However, not even the redhead could prevent the groans and moans which escaped his lips when the ministration started. Even Zero was affected by the heated atmosphere and he felt his own erection bulging on his pants at the sight. He changed his position so his pants would be covered by his thighs. By the end of it all, both of Kain and Aido's cheeks were flushed and the redhead was breathing raggedly. The most surprising part was the fact that Aido swallowed everything, without leaving even a single drop. Zero even felt his cock twitch at the trail of thin saliva connecting AIdo's tongue to the tip of Kain's cock. That particular dare ended in awkward silence as nobody even dared try to break the ice. Or maybe everyone was just too shocked at the series of events.

Thus, the hunter knew there was no way he could pick 'Dare' even if his life depended on it. He shuddered involuntarily at the memories and he knew that everyone was most likely already devastated rather than bonded. The game itself was the epitome of evilness.

"I'm waiting, Zero~!" Yuuki called his attention with her innocently sweet voice. He knew better than to believe that now. She was the devil incarnate herself.

"…Truth." He voiced quietly, already bracing himself for the worst.

If possible, Yuuki's devilish smile widened a fraction. Kain and Aido shuddered at the sight while Zero felt like a death sentence was just passed down to him.

"So, Zero…" She started and the hunter didn't even have time to react when she said the next words. "…when you jerk off nowadays, who do you think about?"

Zero looked at her as if she had grown two heads. His eyes were wide as he tried to process what she just said. Maybe he heard her wrong. Or maybe it was just his nerves talking and she had yet to say anything at all. But it was no use. His mind had gone blank. There was no way Yuuki would ask him something like that, would she? And yet, one look at those chocolate eyes and he knew he was given practically no choice. He'd rather die than answer her.

He eyed the red bottle and prepared himself. "I'll… drink…" His voice was so quiet and his fists were clenched tightly on his lap. His eyes, however, were determined. It was just an aphrodisiac. He's a hunter. He could drink it without batting an eyelid. Or so he tried to convince himself futilely. After Shiki's display earlier, he knew he was going to kill himself tomorrow after everything was over.

Yuuki gladly poured the liquid from the bottle into a cup, feeling excited at the thought of Zero losing it, but a hand stopped her action and seized the bottle from her grasp. She blinked and smiled guiltily when she saw concern in those chocolate eyes which looked so much like her own. Even Zero looked at the brunette pureblood in quiet confusion and curiosity.

Kaname then turned to Zero, his eyes dark. "Are you sure about this, Kiryuu?"

Was Kaname… giving him a chance to reconsider..? He felt his chest tighten at the thought. At the very least, the brunette didn't want him to be humiliated in front of everyone… A small smile crept up his usually scowling face. "I'm sure."

He knew that even if he were to answer the question now, there's a high chance in the future of the same scene happening and it was better for him to withdraw from the game at a stage where his chastity was still intact, although his innocence had long been tarnished and lost.

To his surprise, Kaname gave him a small genuine smile. "Don't worry, Kiryuu. I won't let you humiliate yourself in front of everyone." The hunter was confused at the statement but he figured that he could trust the brunette with this one. After all, that's the first time he saw the brunette looking at him in sincerity… or maybe it's just the first time he saw the smile and saw it for what it truly was instead of thinking of it as fake and full of manipulation as he always liked to believe…

Yuuki hid a grin when she saw Zero's defenses going down one by one. She snickered as she gave her nii-sama a thumbs-up in her mind. She knew her nii-sama cared for her friend far too much and it seemed Zero was starting to realize it too. The main objective of the game was still far from being completely achieved but she had managed to get Shiki and Takuma together at the very least. She knew it's most likely only a matter of time before Kaname could get his Zero and Yuuki would be able to manipulate the game with more confidence than before.

They all watched as Kaname himself poured the disastrous liquid into the cup and gave it to Zero who accepted it without further ado. They repeated the process thrice and Kaname guided the hunter to his own bedroom before everything becomes hell. Yuuki followed them just in time for Zero's breaths to come in small puffs and his cheeks to become flushed. She then gave Kaname three cups too in order to get him to leave the game before she finally left them, humming while concocting another plan.

The last couple would be Kain and Ruka. She snickered as she went to back to the game, her eyes shining brightly with so much evil sparks. But… she'd have to work even harder to get them together or else Ruka would end up alone… and Kaname would have a handsome redhead as a rival…

Meanwhile, Zero was already starting to feel the effect of the aphrodisiac. He knew Kaname was dragging him to the brunette's bedroom but he didn't even have the slightest ounce of resistance. Normally, he would have lashed out at the way the brunette held his arm to guide him and he would have cursed and pointed his Bloody Rose at the brunette's face for even daring to take him into that fucking room. But none of that was present at the moment. In fact, he shuddered as he realized he was looking hopeful that something would happen in the room. It must be the aphrodisiac's effect.

Kaname was also starting to feel it. He was already having a hard time containing his lust and craving for the hunter in normal days but today he wanted nothing but to just forget about the consequences and eat Zero whole right there and then. No… he must not succumb to his desires… no matter how great the images in his mind seemed…

He immediately led the hunter to his bed and made him sit there. He then poured himself some wine in order to make the aphrodisiac's effect dissipate a little. He was glad it worked a bit. He wanted to do it with Zero, of course, but he didn't want to be out of control. He wanted to make love with the hunter, not rape him. As he drank his wine, he could see that Zero was already having a hard time containing the effect. The hunter must have had one hell of a strong mind in order to suppress his desires like that. His amethyst eyes were closed and his entire form looked rigid. His fists were clenched as well as his teeth. He was not making even a single sound as he sat there like a statue.

Kaname finished his drink and approached the hunter, causing those amethyst eyes to open wide and stare at him accusingly. He knew that Zero knew what he's about to do – what they're about to do.

"Zero…" He tried calling the hunter's first name. It felt so good saying it, finally saying it, in front of the man himself. "Zero, I won't do anything you don't want."

Zero's eyes widened at that. He looked at Kaname directly as he felt the heat wanting to escape his body react at the presence of another person. In his mind, he knew what Kaname was saying. He knew it but at the moment he wished the brunette would just push him down and force him into doing things. It's because he didn't want to beg for it. And yet, Kaname seemed to be making him do just that.

"…Kuran." He felt like a huge lump was stuck in his throat. He wanted to just throw himself to the brunette and maybe force Kaname, but he knew the consequences would be dire. Instead, he focused his gaze to the brunette's face, from his silky brown locks to his kind chocolate eyes, to his nose… and his lips. Zero felt his own lips tremble at the thought of owning those lips but he gritted his teeth harder and stopped himself. His eyes were glazed with lust as he stared at Kaname's lithe figure, porcelain white skin, and the arousal bulging from his pants.

Kaname gave him a mirthful and amused smirk. "Instead of staring at me like that, you can just touch me all over if you want." And his chocolate eyes were tinged with crimson as he added, "But you'll have to let me touch you too."

Zero gulped at that, in dread or in anticipation he didn't know. His mind had gone blank the moment the brunette said those words. All he knew was the fact that he didn't have to beg for it anymore. His whole body was so in heat that he wanted nothing more than to be relieved of it. He decided that just for this night, he would throw his pride out the window and embrace his sudden lust and desire, consequences be damned.

"Touch me…" He found himself voicing out, his breaths were starting to become constricted. He felt like his whole body was on fire. "You can touch me…" He repeated.

Kaname's eyes turned into full crimson at the words. He gulped as he put down the glass wine absentmindedly and approached the hunter steadily. He licked his lips at the sight of Zero panting on his bed, flushed and more than just aroused, waiting for him to come closer. The brunette didn't waste any more second and instantly appeared in front of the hunter. But before everything… he needed to clarify some things first…

"Zero," Kaname made the hunter focus on him by cupping Zero's cheeks with his hands. His eyes then turned into a bit of chocolate as he stared at those glazed amethyst eyes. "I'm in love with you, Zero."

And before the hunter could react to his words and say anything in return, he already pushed Zero down the bed before locking their lips into a passionate and heated first kiss. He felt Zero moan into the kiss and he smirked as he bit the other's lower lip lightly. He lapped at it and pushed his tongue inside the hunter's mouth. It wasn't that hard because the hunter was barely resisting. In fact, Zero seemed just as eager as he was. He knew it was just the aphrodisiac's effect but he liked to think that the hunter could still have refused him if Zero really wanted to.

He knelt on top of the hunter and left Zero's mouth only to give the hunter small bites and kisses on the neck and throat. His hands were slightly trembling in excitement as he removed both of their clothing in one fell swoop. The hunter let out a shiver at the sudden coldness when his clothes were removed, only adding fuel to Kaname's lust. The brunette sucked and licked the skin as he traveled down slowly. He wanted to savor Zero's taste on his tongue for a little bit more but the hunter already growled and squirmed underneath him.

Kaname looked up in confusion, only to realize that the teen already wanted him to hurry up. He smiled fondly as he saw the familiar scowl on the hunter's blushing face. Maybe Zero wasn't as out of it as he initially thought. His smile brightened and the hunter squirmed again, grinding their hips together and making Kaname moan. That reaction seemed to light up the hunter's amethyst eyes, his desire getting much harder to control.

"Hurry up…" Zero breathed and Kaname could cum right there and then.

The brunette then kissed the hunter's forehead before he looked around his room for anything he could use. He saw his lotion on the far side of the room and called it over with his mind. It was a lotion that Aido gave him during Christmas. He had barely used it since he really didn't feel the need to… until now.

He poured ample amount on his hand and thoroughly soaked his fingers in the sticky liquid. He then looked at the hunter's impatient eyes and gave Zero a nod, which the hunter only returned with a quiet groan.

Kaname smiled and captured the hunter's lips with his own just as he entered the first finger in. He felt the hunter squirm underneath him. When he entered the second finger, the hunter gasped at the sudden intrusion, allowing the brunette to explore Zero's mouth with his tongue. He deepened the kiss, feeling lost at the blissful feeling of Zero's mouth. It was intoxicating.

He made scissoring motions with his fingers and tried to find Zero's prostate in the process. The hunter's eyes widened as he arched his back at the sudden electrifying pleasure that raked throughout his whole body when Kaname hit it. The moan which escaped his lips was muffled by Kaname's own lips.

And just as the brunette left the hunter's mouth, Zero screamed the name as his mind went blank from the pleasure. "Kuran..!"

Kaname grinned and repeatedly hit that spot until Zero was on the brink of cumming. He then stopped for a while to let Zero breathe a little, earning him another impatient groan from the hunter. Afterwards, he proceeded to add the third finger.

The hunter gritted his teeth as he stared at the brunette. His breath was in shallow puffs and his forehead was sleek with sweat. "Just… Just do it..!" He growled, his eyes almost turning crimson from impatience.

Kaname chuckled at that. He pulled out his fingers and used both of his hands to part the hunter's legs wider, causing Zero's face to blush deeper. Kaname positioned his throbbing erection just at the entrance of the twitching hole before he slammed full to the hilt without further ado.

Zero gripped the sheets tight as he moaned loudly, the feeling of being filled making his whole body feel even hotter. It felt so good… Kaname was definitely huge and he would have cried out in pain under normal circumstances but at the moment all he could feel was eternal pleasure… another effect of the aphrodisiac probably.

Kaname groaned at Zero's tightness which immediately clammed up his whole length. It was wet and hot and tight, causing him to shiver in such immense pleasure. "You feel so good, Zero…" He couldn't help but whisper as he kissed the teen's forehead.

Zero only answered by grunting and grinding their hips impatiently. He felt like he's drowning in the sea of pleasure and he was losing it badly. He wounded his arms around the brunette's neck and pulled Kaname down before roughly kissing him. He wanted physical contact so much to the point where all his pride as a hunter was momentarily thrown at the window.

Kaname smiled at the hungry kiss and returned it with equal fervor. He used his hands to hold Zero's hips before he started thrusting in and out in a rather rough manner. He knew at the back of his mind that it wasn't supposed to be like that for their first time but he was already too out of it to control anything. He would slide out until only his head was inside Zero's hole before slamming back in up to his balls. The sound of their bodies slamming against each other and their moans echoed all throughout the room and it was only making the two vampires more lustful and turned on.

The brunette knew there was no real need to touch Zero's cock since it looked ready to spill its seed any second now but he still wanted to touch it just for the sake of feeling the throbbing length in his hand. He reached for it in between them and fondled it lovingly, thinking that it might be his one and only chance of doing so.

He watched Zero's brows furrowed as his pupils dilated, his cheeks becoming even more flushed, as he shivered and cum all over their stomachs and chests. He followed a few seconds later and made sure to cum at the deepest part of the hunter, wanting to leave his mark there. He kissed Zero once again as he rode out his orgasm – slamming in and out for a bit more until he was milked dry. He didn't even bother to remove his length from the hunter's ass, deeming it kind of erotic to leave it still throbbing inside Zero for the time being.

Both of them were out of breaths as their passionate kiss turned into sweet and loving.

"Zero…" Zero's eyes opened when he heard the brunette's voice, not realizing he was drowsing off a bit. Kaname's gaze held warmth and kindness. "Don't even think for a moment that I did this because of the aphrodisiac. I did it of my own accord… because I'm in love with you."

The hunter's eyes widened at that just as his face brightened again. It's not like he's thinking any of those things. He just felt tired all of a sudden and he wanted nothing but to sleep, hoping that everything up until now was all a dream. But maybe… just maybe, reality wasn't all that bad…

"I… don't know what to say…" He answered. Even if Kaname did love him, it's not like he had ever thought of the brunette in that kind of way until now. Heck, he had never thought of anyone in that kind of way until now. The feeling he had for Yuuki wasn't too innocent anymore but it was still bordering on a brotherly love.

"Then at least… answer a question for me, Zero." Kaname's expression turned a little pleading so the hunter nodded and fought the drowsiness that threatened to engulf him once more. "About Yuuki's question earlier… which you didn't answer…"

All of Zero's drowsiness left him in one fell swoop. He really didn't want to answer that one. But… He sighed as he stared into those chocolate orbs, only now realizing he found them rather beautiful. "…That. I don't usually do that in the first place…" He initiated, noticing how Kaname looked glad that he answered. "And before… it was Yuuki I usually thought of…"

It caused the brunette's eyes to widen a little before he smiled in a pained manner. He knew that Zero loved Yuuki. That's the only connection between him and the hunter after all – they both loved Yuuki. But he's still hoping… "And now..?"

Zero scowled, his flushed face turned incredibly redder in that instance. He really, really didn't want to answer. It was such a ridiculous answer anyway. "I'm telling you this now. T-This doesn't mean anything at all…" Kaname nodded, only making the hunter growl at him. "Like I said, this really doesn't mean anything, okay?"

Kaname was starting to think that maybe his feelings for Zero weren't so one-sided after all. He smiled brightly as he nodded once again.

Zero growled even louder this time as he evaded the brunette's gaze. "It's just… I…" He covered his eyes with an arm as he looked to the side. "It's not like I like it…" Kaname arched an eyebrow as he started snickering to himself. The hunter was being so defensive about it and he had yet to say anything. "It's… When you… bit me… that one time… and I drank your blood…" If possible, his face had become even brighter. "When I remember… I just…" He gritted his teeth in frustration. Why couldn't he just say it like it was nothing if it was really nothing? "When I remember… I just automatically… get turned on…" The last part was even quieter than a whisper but Kaname was already gaping by the end of it.

Everything was quiet and Zero's heart was thumping really fast against his chest. He didn't know why Kaname was being so quiet about it. He let out a soft gasp of surprise when he felt the cock in his ass jerk back to life all of a sudden. He gulped in dread as he removed his arm to look at the brunette's expression. His eyes widened when he saw those chocolate eyes looking at him with something akin to surprise and love and fondness and giddiness and all those other sappy emotions he could think of. A slight blush adorned Kaname's cheeks and a bright smile was on his lips.

Zero stared at Kaname for a few seconds, speechless and awed. To think Kaname would be that affected by his answer… But then he realized that the brunette's erection still seated deep inside him was continuously getting harder and larger by the second, making him feel even more embarrassed.

"L-L-Like I said, it doesn't mean anything!" Zero immediately tried to counter his earlier statement but it only made Kaname's smile brighten even more.

"I'll take that as your love confession." The pureblood voiced seductively as he leaned down to lick the sticky liquid on the hunter's stomach, much to Zero's embarrassment. "Shall we go for another round?"

"G-Get off me, you fucking perverted vampire!" Zero shouted as his whole face acquired the deepest shade of red. He tried his best to push the brunette off him in vain.

And thus, the ringing laughter of one lustful pureblood plus the pleading moans of a hunter echoed all throughout the room as the night deepened.

The bonding game might have been concocted rather forcefully by Yuuki in order to get all the vampires to realize their feelings for one another… and it might actually be more than rigged in favor of those who made it… but it was still just a game. It wouldn't have had the desirable effect if the participants weren't all that willing in the first place.

And thus, the bonding game was just the beginning.
