Warnings: LEMON AHEAD! (KxI)
[Day 4] Sunday -Part 2-
Ichiru clung to Kaname's right arm, ignoring the fact that Kaname's whole inner circle was following behind silently. They were now fully awake, thanks to all the commotion Ruka had made. When she discovered Ichiru was Kaname's love interest, she had tried to kill him. Fortunately, the pureblood had stopped her from doing so. She resumed her sulking. Ichiru wanted to laugh, but he wisely resisted the urge.
It's pathetic how easy they are to read, Ichiru thought disdainfully, tightening his hold on Kaname's right arm. The pureblood looked down and met Ichiru's searching gaze. The lilac eyes ensnared him, and Kaname was so absorbed that he almost crashed into the door of the kitchen. His dignity would have suffered a blow had not someone decided to warn him.
"Oi, watch where you're goin', Kaname!" Zero shouted. Kaname tore his gaze away and caught himself just in time. He looked at Zero, and the others trailing behind him followed suit. Zero flushed slightly under their heavy gazes.
"W-what?!" he demanded. Then he winced. So childish.
Ichiru was the first to speak. "You called Kaname-sama by his first name, Zero." It took an enormous amount of determination not to punish Zero for his slip of the tongue. Ichiru's grip on Kaname's arm tightened, and he allowed Kaname to feel how upset he was through their bond. Thinking quickly, Kaname leaned closer and nonchalantly rubbed his leg with his own. It did the trick. Ichiru relaxed, and blushed ever so slightly. The thing that amazed Kaname was the action went unnoticed.
Zero glared at his twin. The rage inside him was building up, and he felt he might explode from simply being near his twin. For a moment, he wanted to kill Ichiru, just so he have Kaname to himself.
Shaking his head to clear away the thoughts that threatened to consume him, he responded with a fake smile.
"Yeah? So what if I called him by his first name? It's just that—a name." Kaname's followers noted his smile, and glanced expectantly back at Ichiru.
Ichiru heard the challenge in his voice, and grew angry. How DARE he act so insolent… He was ready to deliver a spiteful comeback until Kaname began rubbing his leg again. He sighed. He saw with displeasure that Kaname's followers were still watching him. He sighed again.
"Geez, I was just saying. Even I don't do that, you know? I didn't really mean any harm by it." He smiled a small smile, but only because of a certain pureblood.
Zero's eye twitched when his brother said that. He knew very well Ichiru was angry. It irritated him even more now that he was playing along. Zero could read his brother like an open book, and he discovered exactly why he was no longer angry
"Oh." was all he said before the pureblood spoke.
Still rubbing Ichiru's leg, Kaname purred "I've an idea. How about we stop standing here and go in the kitchen?" He smiled a million dollar smile at them and removed his leg from Ichiru's. Still smiling, he went inside with Ichiru clinging to him. They skillfully ignored their pack of followers. Kaname went to the stove.
As the others sat down, Zero grit his teeth. It was difficult to remain calm as his brother hung all over Kaname like a second skin.
Kaname glanced down at Ichiru. It was going to be very difficult to try to cook if he had someone who continued to cling so persistently to his person. Well, try to cook. He couldn't even bend down to grab a pan from the cupboard. He quickly grew irritated with Ichiru; it seemed like he was only doing this because of Zero's presence. Speaking of which…
He glanced over and saw that the ex-hunter was watching his every move. Their eyes met, and Kaname found that for some reason he couldn't look away. Never shifting his gaze, he gently told Ichiru, "I cannot cook if you insist on holding me. Sit down while I cook, okay?" Swallowing, he managed to tear his gaze away from Zero and give a half-hearted smile to Ichiru.
Ichiru seemed to be pleading with his eyes to be allowed to stay, but Kaname ignored him, pinching his nose with a sigh.
"It isn't going to work. Go over there and have a seat. Left or right of mine is fine." He gently pried Ichiru's arm off. Pouting, Ichiru turned around and walked to the table.
As luck would have it, though, Aidou was sitting to the right of Kaname's seat and Ruka was sitting on the left. Ichiru caught Aidou's blue eyes and they glared for a moment.
"Aidou, get out of that seat. I want to sit there."
"Oh? Well, Since I am the right hand man of our prestigious Kaname-sama, I find it only fitting that I sit beside him as such," Aidou retorted stubbornly, folding his arms and looking down his nose at Ichiru.
Ichiru's eye twitched, and he quickly walked back to Kaname.
"Yes?" the pureblood inquired, tilting his head to the side. He put down the pan, "Is there something you want?"
A devious smile spread across Ichiru's face.
"Kaname-sama, the seat at your right is occupied, as well as the one on you left. I would like to sit to the right of you…but it seems there's some sort of parasite in it." Kaname arched an eyebrow. He strode over to Aidou, and the blonde noble gulped.
"Aidou," Kaname said cheerfully. A little too cheerfully.
Aidou's eyes grew round and darted to Ichiru, who looked only to pleased.
"Yes, Ka-Ka-Ka-Kaname-sama!" He stammered in fear.
"Aidou," Kaname repeated, eyes narrowing slightly, "I believe that Ichiru would like your seat. Be a gentleman and give it him, won't you?"
"O-O-Of course, Kaname-sama!" he cried, immediately abandoning his seat. He walked as fast as one can without breaking into a run and sat next to Zero.
Ichiru smiled cockily at the others. Kaname rolled his eyes and bestowed a chaste kiss on his cheek; he grabbed a pan and returned to the stove. The chairman clapped his hands with joy, as if to say, "Look at how adorable my cute, loving children are!!" Zero glowered
"Wow, Ichiru-kun! You totally have Kaname-senpai on a leash!" Yuuki happily cheered, "It's amazing how obedient he is to you!" A look of horror passed across everyone's faces (except Zero, who was pointedly ignoring her, and Ichiru, who was grinning).
How could you…say that aloud..? they thought, shivering. Kaname's wrath was a scary thing to incur. Kaname turned to Yuuki and smiled a small smile. "Ah… haaa… hahaha!" she laughed nervously, rubbing the back of her head.
While flattered, Ichiru's short-lived happiness quickly faded. The brunette really got on his nerves. She thought she was better than everyone else, just because Kaname treated her specially! Well, I think the same thing of myself, but that's a different story~. But that brunette…her words had troubled Kaname, and he was irritated at her lack of restraint. His grin shifted into a frown, and his eyes narrowed.
A noble that was sitting across Ichiru began sweating. She thought he was glaring at her! But, how was it possible for her to be afraid of a mere human? Wait! He wasn't just a human, he was a hunter (a member of the renowned Kiryuu clan, one of the known hunter family. She couldn't stop herself from shuddering. His dark aura felt like a vampire's.
After everyone quieted down, an awkward silence filled the room. The only sounds were frying noises, running water, and the movements of Kaname.
Time went quickly, and before they knew it, Kaname was laying down plates of bacon and eggs in front of them. Yuuki tilted her head curiously.
"Oro? But this isn't breakfast time…" she said, voice fading under the weight of stares. Shut up, just SHUT. UP. She could practically hear them thinking this. She sweat-dropped, and nothing further was said on the subject.
Throughout the meal, Ruka, Zero, and Aidou couldn't help sneaking glances at Ichiru and Kaname. They were the only ones that seemed to be at ease.
Kaname rubbed Ichiru's thigh lightly underneath the table. He raised an eyebrow in unspoken question. Blushing slightly, Ichiru nodded.
They finally finished their meal. Ruka and Aidou left as quickly as they dared. Though this action was at first confusing to the others, realization dawned. They're jealous.
After the others had left, Ichiru and Kaname left to their room for some…privacy.

Kaname pushed Ichiru onto his king-sized bed. With a dark smile, he slowly undid the buttons on Ichiru's shirt and brushed his hand over a pert nipple. The silvette groaned.
Kaname removed his own tie and shirt. Next, he seductively shimmied out of his pants and stood there in naught but black silk boxers. He laid down on top of Ichiru, covered his mouth with his own, and kissed him deeply.
Ichiru was momentarily surprised by his aggression, but quickly grew aroused. He moaned into the kiss, feeling a pleasant buzz from the pureblood's proximity. Warm, slightly chapped lips ignited a fire deep within him, one that only the owner of those lips would be able to satisfy. Kaname pushed the shirt from his shoulders. Ichiru shivered, both from the rush of cold air and the warmth of Kaname's smooth fingers.
"K-Kaname-sama," he breathed. Kaname smirked and tossed the shirt away. He gently ran his hand down the hunter's jaw line. A shiver raced through Ichiru's body at the simple yet electrifying touch.
"Do not resist my will…" he murmured. He licked Ichiru's neck, gaining sadistic pleasure from how worked up he was. He flowed down the expanse of his chest, straight to what he wanted. Ichiru felt his face flame.
Kaname hurriedly undid the buttons and worked the pants off Ichiru. Red boxers were tented unabashedly, and Kaname's eyes darkened. He slowly cupped his arousal. Pleasure shot through Ichiru's body.
"Ngh," he groaned, arching into the hand. Kaname removed it and inched Ichiru's boxers off him. The silvette curled his toes; he was trembling with need already.
