~~~

Zero coughed while sitting up against the cold stonewall. He had to come back here or he'd get angry…whoever he was.

" He is not happy with you, master Zero," Drain said slowly. Zero didn't look at the fellow mecha from Lacroa. " I know he is…"

" So, what are you going to do?"

" What do you mean? There is nothing I can do; what's done is done."

" You could beg for mercy…" Zero scuffed. " Drain, you know me better than anyone else here. You know I never beg. What, should I say `saving your reverence, a bloody secret?'" Zero mockingly bowed when he said the last part. " So, what do you think, Drain?" Drain shook his head, then took off his hood.

" Zero, I am growing worn of being called Drain now…I've only kept it this long because of what I was known for….But I cannot be like that anymore…"
" Alright, Kane. I understand." Kane was a black and silver Gundam that had a helmet similar to Zero's, except there were bat wings on the sides, and there was a large gem in the upper center of his coal black helmet that was emerald colored. And his eyes were a light purple against dark blue that seemed more playful then Zero's.

" Thank you. Besides, you have every right to call my by my real name and not my nickname, sir Zero." Zero rolled his eyes.

" Like how I've told you to just call me Zero, and no titles behind or in front of it!" Kane laughed. " Alright, alright…" The two of them suddenly felt the walls shake slightly as they heard a ruble from upstairs.

" …He's not happy…"

" Well, of course he is not." Zero took a deep breath, then strutted to the stairs. Kane looked at Zero worriedly.

" He may kill you…" Zero halted in front of the winding staircase. " …If that happens, tell Baku and the others that I am sorry for all of this inconvenience…" He then walked up the stairs, leaving Kane behind. Kane sighed, then turned away from the stairs and headed outside.

Zero felt a strange feeling inside his chest as he went up from the basement to the third floor. It was the overall lord of this manor and his soul's anger, burning in his chest literally. He winched slightly, then came to the second door to his left. He didn't know how he knew, but he knew that he was in there.

Zero steadied his nerves, then pushed the doors open. " I bet you wanted to tell me off about--"

His eyes widened in horror as he stumbled backwards. His breath became caught in his throat. " Y-…you….?!" He choked out. He shook his head while taking as many steps backwards as he could before bumping into the railing. He managed to remember how to breathe, but his breaths were short and shallow.

" That's right, Winged Knight…I control you now…."

Zero closed his eyes tigtly as his master approached him. The one who did this to him...and was about to do so much more to hurt Zero…

***

(A/N: Oh, don't ya just hate me for doin' that? Just when you could've known who it was! HAHAHA!)

" My god…." Shute murmured while sitting at the base. " He's a vampire…Wait a sec, how can he drink blood then?!"

" Shute…" Captain glanced over at Baku, who was lying on the grass in the indoor park. " Oh…. sorry…so how is he?"

" I don't know," Captain said. " He hasn't spoken since Zero left."

Bakunetsumaru was starring into space, with no visible emotion what so ever. He didn't even know how he felt…he felt kind of empty….

" Zero……" He then rolled on his side, still with a blank face on. " Zero…"
***

Zero let out a shaky breath while staring at the half dead girl tied up in front of him. He shook his head. " No…I won't do it!"

" Now, now," Kikumon purred sadistically while lying out on the large, Victorian bed. She rolled over to look at him. " You must not be that way….you know you want to. So, just do it."

" I don't want to hurt anyone!" Zero snapped. " Why are you doing this?! I was dead for Mana's sake, wasn't that enough?!"

" No, it wasn't." Kikumon sat on her knees. " …I want you to suffer…" Zero glared at her, but did not move. He was sacred terribly, but he was angrier than scared now. " And what of Kane?" Zero asked. " Why have you done this to him as well?" Kikumon giggled.

" For entertainment. He was a big, strong Gundam…and I like to keep him around for…entertainment…" Zero stared at her.

" …You're sick."

" I know," Kikumon said. " And so are you. Now do it." Zero shook his head. Kikumon sighed. " Fine, fine…be that way…"

Zero suddenly fell to his knees. His body was burning with pain as he grasped at his chest, where most of it was. It then vanished as quickly as it had come. Zero put his hands on the ground and panted for breath. He shot his head towards the pink musha. " What the hell did you do to me?!" he demanded.

Kikumon shrugged. " Just what all master's can do over their prey…" Zero staggered to his feet. " How did you get this kind of power?"

" Oh, from Lord Kibaomaru, of course," she said simply. " He controls both of though…"

" So…you weren't the one who changed me…" Kikumon shook her head. " No, but I did run the idea by, and now I can torture you as much as I want…"

" But Kibaomaru has the last word on everything…." Zero stated. " True, but not when it comes to my fun…" She pointed to the dying girl. " So, do it or else you will suffer more than you can imagine."

" Threats are nothing but words. And besides, I won't care what you do to me."

" But you would care if I did something to Kane and your beloved Bakunetsumaru, wouldn't you?" Zero froze. " I thought so…lessie…I could put Kane in an iron maiden, and throw him into a lake. He won't die of course, but I know it would be very unpleasant…" Zero clenched his fists.

" And as for Bakunetsumaru…." She chuckled darkly. " There is so much I can do to him…"

" He won't let you near him without chopping off your head."

" True…but I can always get Cobramaru or even Kibaomaru to do something…" Zero stared at her again.

" So what?"

" So, I can get him raped, beheaded, or…." She walked over to Zero. She lifted his head up to meet her eyes. " I can personally turn him into a ghoul.."

" A what?"

" A ghoul. It's far worse than what you are…trust me. They are cannibalistic apparitions that have their soul torn and destroyed…" Zero flinched.

" Don't you dare do that," he warned. " I won't if you do as I say." Zero felt sick to his stomach.

" …Kill her, now." Zero had to obey Kikumon, despite his hatred. He walked to the girl who was chained to the wall. Kikumon had already cut her wrists, so blood was spilling down hr arms and on the metal. He took a breath, then flexed his right hand slightly. " I'm sorry…." He then grabbed her right arm, and wrenched it out of its shackles. The flesh on her wrists and hands were torn off. She didn't flinch, since she was nearly dead.

" Better hurry before she dies…" Kikumon said, obviously enjoying this. (A/N: And they call ME sick! Look at HER! O.o)

Zero closed his eyes for a moment, then held the bloody wrist up to his mouth. He drank the blood deeply. Its metallic taste was making Zero's vampiric instincts want to tear the girl into pieces. He tried to hold them back as he drank, but they were getting too strong.

He pulled away from the wrist, and gasped for breath. His face was covered in blood.

" Well, didn't that feel better?" Kikumon smiled. Zero coughed. " Oh come now, you obviously enjoyed it, since she's now dead…"

Zero stared at Kikumon, then looked at the chained girl. Did he drink too much? It didn't seem like he drank that much. He put two fingers to her neck to check her pulse. None. He quickly drew his hand back and looked away.

" Oh come now Zero…why don't you finish it off, since you already started…"

" Stop it, Kikumon," Zero growled. " You've had your fun…" Kikumon pretended to pout.

" Oh, Zero. That's no fun at all! Well, I bet torturing your love and friend will be fun…" Zero wanted to just so badly hang her by her own wiring. But he knew that if he attempted it, she'd stop him.

" Why didn't you stop me from shooting back at the plant?" Zero asked. Kikumon shrugged.

" I knew that even if you did shoot me, I'd live, besides, I wanted to know how far you would go to shut me up.." She leaned her head on her hands. " Well, finish her off."

" She's already dead, Kikumon."

" So? Finish it." Zero forced himself to look at the dead girl. " …Fine…" He took the other arm, and yanked it out of its shackles as well. He took a deep breath, then ripped the flesh off of that wrist. He stared as the blood dripped off of her muscle tissue, then leaned his head down to it.

Kikumon smiled in self-satisfaction to herself as she watched the honorable knight tear apart an innocent girl. And for what? A Gundam who more than likely hates him and for one of her servants? She leaned back against the bed, and watched the blood spill. She loved tying with people more than anything, especially if it meant breaking them at the same time.

" This is only the beginning of your punishment, Zero…" she said under her breath.

**

Zero staggered into his room back at the base. He felt sick from drinking all that blood Kikumon forced down his throat. He must have drunk five bodies worth of blood. Well, at least he won't have to go hunting anytime soon. He fell face first into his pillow and moaned.

" Why did I even listen…?" Zero muttered into the pillow. " All because I needed to be with Baku! Why didn't I think this through?! Damnit!!"

" What didn't you think through, Zero?"

Zero quickly sat up, and looked towards the door. " B-Bakunetsumaru…"

Baku stood on the doorframe with his arms crossed over his chest. Baku saw the dried blood on Zero's front, and the look of fatigue and defenselessness in his eyes. " Been out killing again?" Baku asked, his emotions concealed.

" I…"

" If you tell anyone about me and Kibaomaru being linked with you…Bakunetsumaru dies."

" …Yes…" Zero lied. Baku walked up to him, and Zero just stared at him. " …You hate me now, don't you?" Zero said suddenly. " I can understand why…" He then looked down into his pillow.

** WHACK!!**

Zero was face down into his pillow as Baku's fist was jammed into the back of the knight's head. " ow…" Zero moaned, muffled by the pillow. He shot his head up and glared at Baku. " You didn't have to hit me!"

" I have every right to hit you! You left me again!" Zero blinked. " What…?"

" You said you wouldn't leave me again, but you flew off." Zero looked away. " But…you…you must think I'm a monster…"

" Well, you are. But that doesn't change the fact that…" Baku sat down next to Zero and held one of Zero's hands in his. " …I love you."

Zero's heart stopped beating for a moment. He then sat up and hugged Baku tightly.

" I'm sorry, Bakunetsumaru," Zero whispered. " I didn't mean for any of this to happen…" Baku hugged Zero back.

" I know you didn't. I believe you…" Baku nuzzled Zero. " I'll always believe you and trust you…"

Zero thought that all he went through tonight was now worth it to hold Baku in his arms like this. Tears slid down his cheeks as he held Baku close. " My firefly…" He sighed. " My perfect little firefly…"
