Chapter 1: Father and Son

Zero couldn't fight anymore, even with Kaname's blood coursing in his vain acting as cure, it still wasn't enough. He had to feed regardless, his transformation to a "level E" was increasing day after day even with Kaname's efforts. Zero, gasping for breath, staggered through the door of the chairman's cottage, where he and Yuki lived. Yuki had often allowed Zero to feed off her, but now she was gone at the time he needed her the most. Zero collapsed against a wall, tears filling his eyes as the pain in his chest intensified with every throb.

A weak laugh escaped him: "why does Yuki have to be in America?" Then Zero fainted.

"Zero kun! Zero kun!" the voice was so far in the darkness…yet he pusued towards it. "Mother?" he called. Then there she was. Standing before him with his father and younger twin brother, her arms outstretched to embrace him. He ran as if it had been years since he'd seen them. However, they seemed to be getting further away rather than closer. A hand grabbed his own from behind and a sharp pain erupted on his neck.

Zero felt his blood gushing out and he collapsed to the ground, clutching his bleeding neck. Then he felt a new pain; deep in his chest. He felt his canines sharpen and hunger over whelmed him, with a new yet familiar craving.

Someone was lifting him, something warm entered his mouth, instantly he swallowed it. Blood. He knew it as soon as the next drop hit his tongue. His vampiric nature took over.

He opened his eyes and saw a bleeding wrist if front of him and held it tightly, not even bothering to see whom it was or push them away. Gently, he licked the wound then locking the person's arm in place he sunk his teeth in. He drank, sucking hard for a long time. Only when he heard Chairman Cross's voice did he stop. "Zero," his voice sounded weak, but it was firm, "if you don't stop, you'll kill me." Zero drew back and stared in horror at the chairman.

"Why?" he asked, disgusted at what he'd done. Cross wrapped his wrist in a cloth. "I'm not blind. Five minutes more and you'd have turned into a "level E" for sure."

Zero felt ashamed. He had never fallen this hard before, he'd of course fed the most viscously he'd ever attacked was the first time he'd ever drank blood. Cross could see Zero in a daze. He knelt down beside Zero. "Please don't worry, I'm fine." Zero slowly looked into the man's green eyes, Cross smiled; "Ok, maybe tired but really." He pulled Zero to his feet and embraced him. Zero froze. Cross was holding him like a father would his child. "I do hold you as a son Zero." Cross told him gently. Tears filled Zero's eyes and he began to cry, something he had not even done when his parent's throats were ripped out right in front of him. Cross held him tightly, allowing him to cry without interruption. Finally, Zero was able to stop. He looked at the chairman and blushed, embarrassed about his behavior. He and this normally a clumsy idiot, were both vampire hunters and here he was weeping like a woman. Cross released him and looked down at his bleeding wrist.

"Zero, had you not eaten since Kaname allowed you his blood?"

Zero's eyes widened in astonishment: "How did you know?" he asked bewildered. Cross laughed, "Do I look stupid?"

"Is that debatable?"

Cross turned away, "Did you know your eyes are purple like Kaname's?" Zero stared blankly at Cross. "What the hell are you talking about?"

"When you drink the blood of a pureblood they pass a trait on to you." Cross walked to the door of his office, "Zero the next time you get hungry you have to go to Kaname." Zero looked up, appalled at the thought. "Why?"

"Because you stubborn fool, Yuki's blood, or any other human's for that matter will work for you, and by tomorrow your going to have to eat again: you'll either die or turn into a " Level E" if you don't." Zero looked bewildered. " But I just…" Suddenly his chest began to throb again. He clutched the center and began to cough uncontrollably.

He couldn't breath…

Zero felt his thirsts increase to an unbearable point. Blood spilled from his mouth, covering the floor. Eyes glowing red at the sight of the blood, he felt his fangs extend and he saw the chairman standing in front of him, assuring of assistance.

Zero looked up, weak from hunger and blood loss, he spoke in gasps; "Help me." He begged and descended into the void of nothingness.
