Chapter 14

''Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 1but when perfection comes, the imperfect disappears. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love.'' ~ I Corinthians 13

The next day Kaname, Zero and Ichiru sat in a restaurant having late lunch. Kanamehad taken the twins to view their parents bodies before they were cremated. Neither Zero nor Ichiru had cried in the mortuary but when they came out, of the building the twins had cried their hearts out and Kanamehad to calm both of them. It wasn't easy but someone had to do it. He looked at Zero then at Ichiru. Who would have thought he'd be blessed with twins? Ichiru had nowhere to go and Zero wanted his brother to stay close to him so he couldn't deny him shelter.

''By the way, yesterday I heard someone screaming?'' Ichiru said suddenly.

''Pfffft!'' Zero choked on his drink.

''Or was it moaning?'' Ichiru persisted. Zero flushed and looked away.

''I'm sure you were just imagining it.'' Kaname said.

''No, I wasn't. At first I thought it was just a dream but then I woke up and listened carefully. Those were screams of pleasure.'' Ichiru said.

''If you have to know, Zero and I are now mated. We finally made the blood bond.'' Kaname said.

''I figured. Congratulations you two. It sounded like you were having the time of your life.'' Ichiru said.

''Yes, it was..''

''Cut it out, will ya!'' Zero exploded. Jeez, those two were talking about it as if he wasn't there and it was embarrassing. ''So we are mated, yoou don't have to share all the details. If you want to talk about that, do it when I'm not around.''

''Okay, okay, we understand, don't we?'' Ichiru said looking at the pureblood.

''Clearly.'' Kaname said smiling at him. He was starting to like Ichiru and he loved Zero even more now. The hunter was still so innocent in his eyes. An innocent air surrounded Zero and that just made him more and more attractive, more tempting. They had woken up late because they were exhausted from the previous night and they didn't have sex this morning because they had a lot planned and very little time. But he intended to have the hunter when they got back home.

''Let's go for a walk.'' Zero suggested. After leaving the restaurant they went for a long walk, sat in the park and just chatted then Kaname drove them back home. When they arrived at the mansion, they were surprised to see who was waiting for them.

Kaname approached his uncle who was standing next to his car. ''Well, well, well. I knew you would come, but I didn't expect to see you so soon. What brings you here, if I may ask?''

''Hn, I just thought the boy may need my blood, that's the only reason I came.'' Rido said.

Kaname smirked. ''Ohh? I've never known you to be so generous. Knowing how stubborn you are, I would have expected you to be out of the country by now.''

''There was no need to run away, and just like you said, you would have easily found me if you wanted to. And I don't want the boy to start attacking anyone for blood.'' Rido said.

''Wow, the bond between you two must be really strong for you to be here. But I'm not complaining, I am glad that you're responding well to the bond. You may stay the night if you want.'' Kaname said, suggestively. They all went into the house, Ichiru glaring at Rido. He had not forgiven the pureblood for what he'd did to his family. But damn, all he'd been thinking about the whole time was Rido, Rido, Rido. After sucking Rido's blood, it was like all the hatred he'd been feeling disappeared against his will. He wanted to hate the pureblood forever, for what he had done to his family but he just couldn't. He didn't understand it himself.

''Rido is here to give you his blood.'' Kaname paused to tell Ichiru. ''Please cooperate even if you hate him, okay?''

''Okay. I'll be in my room.'' Ichiru said even though he didn't want to. To depend on Rido's blood every time was making him feel helpless and he didn't want to feel that way. He knew he had lost a lot of blood when his father stabbed him and even though his wounds had closed, he still needed blood for the next few days. That was the only reason he was agreeing to this. Or so he thought.

''Aren't you going to follow him?'' Kaname asked his uncle.

Rido sighed heavily. ''You'd think I'm the one who needs blood.'' He knew that Ichiru hated him and he had the right to do so. But for now they had to cooperate just like his nephew had said. He had to admit the blood bond was very strong force to bring him here against his will. He had debated with himself whether to come or not but a strong force was pulling him, telling him to go. He wanted Ichiru to bite him again, to drink from him. When Kaname and Zero had walked in on them the previous night, he had been so embarrassed because he had enjoyed himself when Ichiru was drinking from him. He also wanted to taste Ichiru's blood again. Call him crazy or whatever but it was what he wanted. So bad. He waited for Ichiru to go upstairs then he followed him.

Kaname and Zero looked at each other. ''Will they be okay?'' Zero asked.

''Yes, they will be. Rido will not hurt Ichiru, he can't.'' Kaname said.

''Why did you make him bite Ichiru?''

''Because that was the only way to save Ichiru and who better than a person who despises humans. Who is against humans and vampires bonding. I wanted him to know what it's like, to experience it first hand and realize that it's not so bad.'' Kaname explained.

''Poor Rido, he must hate you for making him stoop so low. But then again, I have to say it serves him right. But something worries me. Last night when we found them blushing, you don't think...'' Zero didn't know how to put his fears into words.

''It's exactly as you're thinking. My uncle must have really enjoyed his blood being sucked that he volunteered to come here again so soon. That's why I won't stop them from seeing each other. As long as they have that bond, Rido won't hurt Ichiru. So we have nothing to worry about.'' Kaname said.

''B-but what if they decide to-to, y-you know....'' Zero stammered.

Kaname smiled. ''Then we'll just have to support them won't we?''

''We can't let that happen!'' Zero turned to go find his brother but the pureblood stopped him.

''Zero calm down, you can't interfere with them, not now. As long as Rido doesn't hurt Ichiru, we should just sit back and watch. If he does hurt him, I'll be the one to take him out for good, I promise.'' Kaname tried to calm the hunter's fears.

''I don't know...''

''Trust in me, ne?'' Kaname wrapped his hands around Zero and brought him closer until their bodies were pressed to each other. ''I want you now.'' he said and took Zero's lips hastily. Zero closed his eyes savouring the kiss. Warm feelings of home of home, permanence and security all blended into an almost tangible emotion invaded his chest. It was so strong that he had to gasp for breath.

''In broad daylight?'' Zero asked.

''Yes, I want you every time, anytime, anywhere. You don't have to feel ashamed, you have a great body which I can't get enough of. Or don't you want me?''

Zero cupped Kaname's face gently, anticipatory gleam in his eyes. ''I want you.'' They made their way upstairs and when they reached his room, Kaname held the door open and nodded for Zero to go inside. Although he wasn't a virgin anymore, Zero was still nervous because he wasn't an experienced lover. With a bravado he didn't feel, he reached out and removed Kaname's clothes. He would try his best to please his mate.

Kaname shivered as the cold air hit his skin. Zero ran a finger down his chest and then kissed him quickly. The hunter led him to the bed and pushed him back roughly. He gazed at Zero with loving eyes. He wasn't sure what he was expecting but seeing Zero so bold was really exciting him. Zero bent his head to lick Kaname's along inner thigh. Kaname closed his eyes, letting the sensations wash over him, hoping he could last out whatever torture Zero had planned.

When Zero was done with his thigh, instead of moving higher as he should have, he licked along the side of Kaname's knee, and then under it. Kaname moaned. Zero smiled, a smile full of dark promise. Who would have thought the pureblood would be so sensitive there? Zero made it his duty to find every sensitive place on Kaname's body. Surprisingly, there were a few that responded. Kaname groaned in frustration as Zero bit along his hip, carefully not touching anything else. ''Please,'' he begged.

''Not yet.'' Zero turned him around and began to work from the back of Kaname's neck down. Kaname groaned again. It felt so good, so amazing to be touched like that, even if the hunter was torturing him.

''Please,'' he tried again, hoping for mercy. But Zero continued his torture, teasing him endlessly. ''That's it.'' Kanamedecided to answer what just happened with an assault of his own. He ripped Zero's clothes hurriedly and rolled them over. He started by mapping Zero's chest and torso with his tongue. The sounds Zero made while he accomplished his task sent shivers down his spine, making him feel almost as good as he hoped he was making the hunter feel.

He moved lower, listening to every breath change, feeling every shudder, learning what Zero liked best. It thrilled him that he could make the hunter feel this way, that he alone would satisfy him. With deliberate slowness, he made detours along Zero's torso. He stopped to lick at Zero's nipples, his abs and traced the hairline down with his tongue.

''Ahnn..'' Zero moaned. He began to squirm and jerking his hips. Kaname ignored his own arousal to keep doing what he was doing. He was enjoying it, and so was the hunter. When Zero was breathless and begging, almost out of control, Kaname took his arousal in his mouth.

''Ahhh..!'' Zero cried out.

Kaname sucked slowly, just teasing, savouring the taste of him. After several long moments, he took pity on Zero and began sucking faster, taking him deep in his throat. Without finesse, without artifice, Zero groaned and thrust up into Kaname's mouth coming without warning as he screamed the pureblood's name. A tremor of satisfaction went through Kaname and he smiled, moving up to hold Zero. ''Was it good?'' he asked when awareness had returned to the hunter's eyes.

A slight smile and nod were all he got. It was enough. Kaname felt like the luckiest man in the whole world. There was something so amazingly satisfying about putting a content look on Zero's face. He gave the hunter a minute or two to recover and then he nudged him onto his belly. Zero moaned agreeably and spread his thighs apart. The sight of him and and the ease with which Zero gave himself did Kaname in. He wanted the hunter so badly that his body throbbed with the need to possess him. ''I'll fuck you now.'' he said and rammed into the hunter.

''Ahhhhhhh...!'' Zero screamed.

Kaname continued thrusting, keeping his pace hard yet slow. ''So tasty, so wet.'' he said. Zero bit his bottom lip to keep from moaning. It felt good, the way Kaname took him. Hard, with sure strokes. Kaname moved their bodies so that they were lying on their sides. He started stroking Zero's cock slowly while still thrusting deep inside him.

''Oh God,'' Zero panted. ''Soooo good.''

Kaname nipped at his neck hard enough to draw blood. It sent Zero into orgasm. Kaname kept going. He hardened his thrusts further as the hunter contracted around him. He licked at the blood sliding from the wound he caused. He smiled as the hunter shivered. ''You like it hard, don't you?''

Zero couldn't speak because all his blood seemed to be concentrated in one place, so he bucked himself on Kaname's cock. Thrilled by the hunter's response and with his own pleasure overwhelming him, Kaname slipped out of Zero's core and changed their position so that the hunter was on his hands and knees. He took hold of Zero's hips and drove home again.

''Ahhhh!'' Zero moaned.

Kaname thrust a few more times before his passion crested and he was lost in the bliss.

* * * * * *

Rido groaned as Ichiru sank his fangs roughly into his neck and drank. The ex-human might think he was hurting him but he was enjoying it. In fact, he loved the pain. Should I tell him that he's just exciting me more and more by doing that? What will he think of me? ''You're not hurting me if that's your purpose.'' he said.

Ichiru removed his fangs then sank them in the pureblood's neck. Take that!

Rido smiled. ''It will not work. Do you have any idea what you're doing to me?'' he asked as the ex-human lapped at his skin to seal it. ''Should I bite you so that you can know how I feel?'' he didn't wait for an answer and he gently bit Ichiru's neck.

''Ohhh..!'' Ichiru moaned. He hadn't been conscious the first time that Rido bit him so he couldn't remember and had no idea. But now he knew. And Kami, it felt good. It excited him to no end. Did embarrassing things to body. He didn't want to feel this way but there was no denying it. He let himself enjoy, the feeling, savour it as Rido drank from him. Rido on the other hand was so intoxicated with Ichiru's blood that he thought he could explode soon. He had a painful erection that needed some attention and soon. He sealed the wounds on Ichiru's neck and looked at the ex-human. Their eyes met and held.

''I don't know why this has to happen to me, but for some reason, I want to be inside you. I want to do things to you.'' Rido said.

Ichiru was still breathing hard. ''I also don't understand what is happening to my body, why I have to feel this way about you, of all the people. Why does it have to be you? Why?'' Ichiru began crying.

Ridojust looked at him. He didn't know whether comforting the ex-hunter would be a good idea but he decided to take his chances. He wrapped his arms around Ichiru and held him close, massaging his back, soothing him, until he calmed down. He began pressing kisses on Ichiru's neck and upward to his ear. ''It's okay, I will not hurt you.'' he said.

Ichiru didn't want to believe the man but somehow he did. There was just a strong bond between them that made him feel comfortable around the pureblood, even if he loathed him. ''Rido?'' he said quietly, '' Will you touch me?''

Rido hissed as if in pain. ''Are you sure you want this?'' he asked. In as much as he wanted the ex-human, he didn't want him to say he took advantage of him because of their blood bond. They were clearly not thinking clearly. Ichiru nodded, giving him the answer he both desired and dreaded. He may not be able to stop himself. They both stood up.

Very carefully Rido removed Ichiru's clothes. As his skin revealed itself, they both felt the pleasure of skin contact. Ichiru strangely felt no fear of his situation. He wanted this to happen to him. It felt right to give himself to the dangerous Pureblood. Rido also removed his clothes and looked at the ex-human.

Ichiru was beautiful in his eyes, soft and fragile. He felt his fragility as he caressed his skin. He could break the ex-human with no effort, but he didn't want that. He wanted to give Ichiru pleasure, pleasure like never before. He started sucking on the skin where he had earlier bitten and listened to Ichiru's tiny moans of pleasure. His suckled Ichiru's nipples, as one hand began to rub soothing circles upon his flat stomach.

''Ahn.'' Ichiru moaned softly, his hate forgotten in this sensation. He pulled the pureblood closer to his nipple. Rido's other hand found it's way between Ichiru's legs. The ex-human was also straining. He took Ichiru's arousal in his hand and pumped it, up and down. Ichiru moaned and moved hip hips against the hand stroking him. He wanted this feeling to last forever, or close to forever as possible. Could any other male make him feel the way Rido did right now? Could he share this intimate feeling with someone else?

He wondered more and more as he soared dangerously close to that precipe of ecstasy. His thighs shook, his his hands gripped Zero's shoulder's tightly, his whole body waiting for that one moment where he could let it all go. The fragile crack in his shield increased, allowing tendrils of power to escape. Rido felt Ichiru's hands tighten their grip on his shoulders in preparation of his orgasm. He helped the ex-human reach his destination with a hard bite on his nipple.

''Ohhhhhh!'' Ichiru screamed as he came. As he screamed in pleasure, Rido stayed with him, pushing him just a little bit further. The pureblood took him and they both fell on the bed. Rido began kissing Ichiru's throat, distracting him for what he had in mind. A little more work and he knew Ichiru would be ready for the final step in their dance. His need for the ex-human was a physical pain in his loins. The beast in him demanded he take Ichiru roughly, but that rational part of him knew that although he could take what he gave, for his first time, he should have a tender hand. He would make sure Ichiru got what he needed. He prepared Ichiru and began the slide, his wide head slowly piercing into the ex-human's tight sheath.

Ichiru tensed in pain, ready to escape. But Rido held him tight against his body, keeping him still while he claimed him. He opened his mouth, too breathless to scream. The pureblood stayed with him, wrapping him in his calming essence.

Rido kept his pace slow, pausing momentarily for Ichiru to adjust to his large size. The ex-human was so tight. Ichiru felt like Rido was ripping him apart. He panicked, pushing against his body to get away. But Rido stopped him easily. He felt the pureblood stretching his body with his incredible girth. There was pain but there was also that pleasure. Rido groaned.

He had to wait for the ex-human to be ready. But it was hard with how he felt wrapped around his cock. Suddenly, Ichiru moved allowing Rido to slide deeper within his depths. The both moaned. ''Rido,'' Ichiru whispered. He wanted the pureblood to continue.

Panting heavily, Rido began to slide out, moving slowly as he tasted the waters. Ichiru's muscles pulled against him, trying in vain to pull him back in. But when he began to push through, his body opened, welcoming him back inside. In and out, in and out. His pace maddened them both.

Ichiru felt hot all over, as Rido played his body like an instrument, showing him pleasure. Every stroke of flesh on flesh, tantalized his senses. It was too much for him. His body already sensitive went into overload. Everything inside him tightened, then released. This orgasm felt different. He felt fulfilled, satiated.

Rido waited for the ex-human to recover from his high. It felt so good as Ichiru's muscles gently tightened around him. ''Turn around.'' he said. Ichiru did as he was asked and Rido thrust inside him again. The friction was so incredible that he began to thrust wildly inside the ex-human. He took Ichiru's cock and started pumping it.

''Ohh!'' Ichiru moaned wantonly, pushing Rido further into a dark haze. He accepted the harder thrusting stabbing his depths. He felt that coil tighten, felt as his slickness increased to further ease Rido's passage. Rido continued grinding into him, wildly, dangerously. His next thrust hit against something so pleasurable that Ichiru's muscles clamped down on him hard. Still Rido kept going, his mind focused on his thrusting and The ex-human's tight sheath. He lifted Ichiru's hips higher, fucking him with bruising strokes, relishing his screams of pleasure.

Ichiru encouraged him. He pushed the pureblood to take him further. He gave him all the bliss. Rido felt climax taking hold of his body. He shot his cum deep inside Ichiru's core.

* * * * * *

When Kaname and Zero went downstairs for dinner, they found Ichiru alone in the dining room. ''Where is my uncle?'' Kaname asked.

Ichiru flushed. ''I don't know.''

''How can you not know, I thought he was with you.'' Kaname persisted.

''I said I don't know, okay!'' Ichiru was pissed because of what had taken place. Pissed at himself for letting it happen. ''Look, I'm not his keeper. He went home.'' he said more plitely.

''Ooooh?'' Kaname smirked. ''I wonder what happened. He was planning on spending the night.

''If you have questions about him, ask him yourself.'' Ichiru said.

''Touchy, touchy.'' Kaname teased him.

''Are you okay?'' Zero asked his brother. Ichiru nodded so he left it at that. If Ichiru didn't want to talk about it, he would pressure him. They had quietly and Ichiru excused himself. ''What was that all about?'' he asked Kaname.

''Beats me.'' Kaname said. ''He'll talk when he's ready.

''Hm. As long as he's fine, I'll try not to worry about him.''

* * * * * *

A few weeks later

Zero floated slowly to consciousness, an unlikely feeling of warmth and well being encompassing his whole body. Even more unusual, he was warped in strong arms, held by a lover. Not just any lover either, his mate.

''Ohayo.'' Kaname's warm breath drifted across his ear.

Zero shivered. ''Ohayo.'' Kaname's teeth connected with the soft flesh of his neck and bit down. But the sting let up before it hurt badly, and then he licked across it. His hands slid down the hunter's torso. Zero pressed back into Kaname's hands as they settled onto his bottom.

"You want a go?" Kaname licked along the side of his neck.

"Yeah." Zero closed his eyes as Kaname worked his talented fingers into him. Soon Kaname's cock was buried deep inside him. Each stroke into him sent pleasure sparkling through him. Stars flash before his closed eyes. "Harder," he moaned and pushed into the thrusts. "More now."

Vaguely, he heard Kaname chuckle.

Sweat dripped off him as he continued to move with every thrust, every stroke into him. The pleasure built and built until it was nearly unbearable. But bear it he did, willingly, completely, letting it take him and remake him into something else entirely. He screamed, because the pureblood was taking him to a place he hadn't been before, a place he knew with absolute surety that only Kaname could find again. It felt so damned wonderful. He'd never get enough of it. He loved it. More than that he realized he loved Kaname.

Oh-oh. Where did that come from?

But it was true. He sank into the feel, letting everything else go. Kaname licked and tasted him, fucked him, making him moan and writh, begging for release. ''Lets come together Zero.'' Kaname said. Zero's muscles clenched around him as he climaxed. He too thrust into his mate a few more times before shooting his load deep inside him. After relaxing in bed a little. Kaname kissed Zero passionately then stood up. ''I'm going to take a shower, wan...''

''I love you.'' Zero interrupted him.

''Wanna join me.'' Kaname finished, then, ''Huh?'' he thought he heard his own things.

''I love you.'' Zero said again. Kaname sat down on the bed and took Zero in his arms. His heart was beating so fast. He was over-joyed to hear those words.

''I love you too. You mean so much too me. I'll cherish you forever.''

* * * * * *

''Welcome, Haruka-sama.'' Nedunagi, the seer said. ''Have a seat.'' Haruka sat down. ''It has finally happened.''

''What has happened.'' Haruka asked the seer, confused. ''Did something bad happened to Kaname?'' he was suddenly very worried.

''No need to worry. I'm talking about the bond. They've made the blood bond. He and the hunter have now become one. Now the curse is broken.''

''What do you mean, great seer? Are you saying that twins born of hunters families can live. That one of them shouldn't be put to death anymore?'' Haruka asked.

''Aye. The ancestor who cursed the hunters reincarnated himself in your son.''

Haruka gasped. ''What? It's not possible.''

''It is as I've said. He lives in Kaname. Only through Kaname could the curse be broken and he has managed so well.'' Nedunagi said. ''That was why I told you to let them be. To warn anyone who would try to stop them from mating.''

''You're right. My brother got a taste of Kaname's sealing power. Just like our ancestor, he has the same power. I've never felt anything so strong. We pureblood's, all have powers but whatever power my son possesses is beyond me.'' Haruka explained what had happened that day at dinner. How Kaname's power was cracking the air. Feeling them all with fear.

''So he tried to get in Kaname's way? The fool. Kaname could have killed him easily.''

''What I don't understand is why Kaname didn't attack Zero while he was trying to kill Rido. Noneof us dared approach him, for fear of our lives, yet, the hunter managed to calm him down. It was quiet a scene.''

''Maybe Kaname didn't attack him, because he recognised his mate-to-be. He recognised Zero's scent and aura which calmed him down. He couldn't attack Zero because he was the reason for that outburst of power. Kaname was protecting what was his.'' the Seer explained.

''Maybe you're right.'' Haruka said.

''I know I'm right.'' Nedunagi said.

''I was worried at first that Kanamewas making a mistake but not anymore. I'm glad that he has found someone to share his feelings, to spend the rest of his life with. After seeing the way he calmed my son, I believe Zero is good for him. None of us will ever interfere again.'' Haruka stood up and offered his hand to the seer. ''Thank you for everything, for guiding us always in the right direction.''

''I'll serve you gladly next time you show up. Don't forget to ban, the killing of one twin.'' Nedunagi reminded Haruka.

''I will see to it immediately.'' Haruka promised.

Epilogue

''You're what?'' Zero asked.

''I'm moving in with Rido.'' Ichiru repeated for the hundreth time. He and Ridohad gotten closer during his frequent visits. It was becoming more and more dangerous hiding the fact that they were intimate, so they had decided that moving in would be the best solution to everyone. This way they would have to hide their feelings for each other.

''Okay, what going on?'' Zero didn't understand his brother's sudden change of heart. He thought they hated each other and now, they wanted to move in together.

Ichiru sighed heavily. ''You want to know the truth?'' he asked. He might as well tell them now since they were going to find out sooner or later. ''We're lovers.'' There.

''You're what?'' Zero began shaking his brother. ''What is wrong with you? I leave you with that man and the next thing you're telling me is that he's...he's eating you.'' Zero blurted out. He couldn't come up with a better word than that. Yes. Rido is eating his brother.

''Calm down, Zero.'' Kaname said.

''How can you be so calm, that's Rido we're talking about. He'll hurt Ichi..''

''He'll never hurt me, he cares about me.'' Ichiru cut in. Zero paced the living room. He was just starting to like living with him brother and now he wanted to move out? Life wasn't fair sometimes. ''When you told me about you and Kaname, you asked me to respect your decision, didn't you? I'm asking you the same thing now. I know it may take you, weeks, months or even years to trust Rido, but he isn't a bad person. He's just stubborn. Give him a chance for my sake, ne?''

Zero considered his brother's words for a moment. ''Okay, you can go live with him. But promise me that you'll come back here if he mistreats you.''

Ichiru smiled. ''I promise.''

''And promise me you'll visit us often. Where are you going to live anyway? Hope not in another city.'' Zero asked.

''No, I will visit as often as possible because Rido told me that he lives nearby.'' Ichiru said.

Zero took his brother's arm and led him aside. ''Why do you really want to be with him?''

''You should understand, you have Kaname. Do you really need to ask?''

''Yes, I do. I am your brother. You family and I care about you.'' Zero persisted.

''I love him.'' Ichiru said.

''Oh.'' Zero said. ''Well, that's a good reason, for now. So I'll let you go.''

''Thanks for understanding.'' Ichiru gave his brother a hug.

''By the way, I'm just curiuos, Let's see, who is the.... Seme and who is the Uke?'' Zero asked.

''What?'' Ichiru was surprised. He'd never expected such a bold question from his twin brother. ''What do you think? Can that Neanderthal let me take him?''

Zero tried to picture it happening. ''I suppose not.'' he replied and they both burst out laughing.

''I'm going to meet him now, if I don't come back tonight you know where to find me.'' Ichiru said and went upstairs to get his overnight bag. Kaname walked to his mate and took him in his arms and kissed him.

''Let him go.''

''You knew about this, didn't you? That why you're so calm.'' Zero accused him.

''I put two and two together. It must be the bond that brought them together. I wasn't surprised when Ichiru told us that they are lovers. You know how it is with us. We can't stay away from each other.'' Kaname explained.

''But still....'' Zero wasn't very convinced.

''Don't interfere with them. Do you want Ichiru to hate you?'' Kaname asked.

''Oh no.'' Zero said. That was the last thing he wanted. All he wanted was love amongst them. No more hatred.

''Because that's what will happen if you try to come between them.''

''I won't, if it will make Ichiru hate me. I won't.'' Zero said. The thought of Ichiru hating him was scary.

''Nothing to worry about as long as you support him. He loves you and needs your support as his family, okay?'' Kanamekissed him again. ''And you have me here, it's not as if you're being left alone. We can do lots of things together.''

''Like what?'' Zero asked.

Kaname smirked. ''What me to show you?''

''You..what's wrong with you? Don't you get enough of that?''

''I can never get enough of you.'' Kaname confessed and he meant every word. ''I love you, Zero.'' he said those words while gazing deep into the hunter's eyes.

Zero heart bagan pounding faster. That was all it took. ''I love you too, Kaname. Take me upstairs and eat me all you want.''
