"Talking."

Thoughts.

Echoed Thoughts.

"Memories."

Zero, who had shown Byakuya how to use Bloody Rose, which just had regular bullets in it, because one; Byakuya asked, and two; that meant getting away from Yuki, who had been trying to follow her around everywhere and had constantly asked if she needed blood, which pissed her, and Byakuya, off, had her hands over her ears as she watched Byakuya shoot at the targets, in the shooting range room.

Even though she was watching Byakuya learn something new, her thoughts were elsewhere. Or rather, they were everywhere. He knows that Zero is a girl and isn't a member of the Kiryu Clan. Zero grimaced, bowing her head while her hands fell to her side.

Because Yuki had refused to stop following Zero everywhere, and she wouldn't let the silverette be alone with Toga, the trio couldn't speak of the concerning matter, but right now, they had managed to avoid Yuki, but Zero knew it wouldn't be long until Yuki found her.

"Do you intend to just stand there all night or would you rather join me in practicing?"Byakuya, who had stopped shooting, asked as he turned slightly to look at Zero, who's head snapped up and she looked right at him, watching as he put down the Bloody Rose and picked up a regular gun.

A small smirk formed on her lips."I thought I'd let you go a few rounds by yourself, besides, I don't need to practice."Zero paused and looked away."You haven't been feeding a lot, and I know, that just like me, you don't like the Blood Tablets..."Zero pointed out, only to trail off, frowning at her Husband in concern.

"I am fine, and I am more focused on helping you with your hunger instead, as mine is more bearable, unlike your own."Byakuya said dismissively before suddenly eyeing the side of her neck."Besides, you don't heal fast enough as long as you have those Spells placed on yourself, which is why your neck is bandaged like that."Zero's hand shot up to the side of her bandaged neck and frowned at the reminder."Must you bandage your neck like that? It will draw too much attention to yourself when the Humans begin to notice and they'll ask questions."

"No one would dare to question why my neck is bandaged like this. Everyone in this Academy has dubbed me as the; Bad Boy."Zero said, rolling her eyes.

"Does that include the Night Class?"Byakuya asked and Zero paused.

"If I wear a band-aid rather than a bandage, one of them wouldn't hesitate to rip it off and find out that I've been bitten by a Vampire and considering I don't let any one of them close, they'll make the connection that it's you"Zero gestured to him."and they'll report it."

Byakuya pursed his lips into a tight line."To the Headmaster? or rather to their Leader; Kuran Kaname?"Zero merely crossed her arms."I can tell by your blood that you're worried about what he knows and it's constantly been on your mind all day. It's like you can't stop thinking about him."

"It's like you said. I'm worried about what he knows."Zero said in a sharp voice."So of course I can't stop thinking about him, but you're making it sound like..."The silverette trailed off, her eyes darting to the side as if she was coming to a conclusion of her own and looked back at him."You sound jealous."Zero realised, her eyes wide in disbelief as she realised that her Husband was just that. 

Jealous.

"How can I not be?"Byakuya asked rhetorically."Especially when I know that not only does that boy share the same name as his Ancestor, but looks exactly like him from your memories."
