Prologue

A ticking stress mark bulged and beat rapidly at a certain silver haired man as he gazes at the guilty lilac eyes of both his mother and younger twin brother. Never did Zero thought that in his whole seventeen years of life would he be in this predicament where he is now. You see dear reader he was just minding his own business particularly studying for an upcoming exam and a musical recital for his academy which is the Rose Music Academy.

Then, he was suddenly called by none other than her mother Ichika Kiryu the most esteemed violinist of her decade with her music and the sounds she makes with her violin all those who could hear her play was either shocked or already fainted.

He was going to just hang up as usual, thinking it was his mother's daily preaching again but just the word Ichiru and he was already bolting out of his condo which was given to him by his parents for his classes, in a train and at just thirty minutes was already at their residence.

From the distressed voice of his mother about Ichiru his heartbeat already defeated White Lily's thundering trots. He had already had many situations coming to mind like Ichiru getting into a fight, Ichiru being bullied, Ichiru having a fever leading to death.

But not this, no not fucking this! His aura was menacing the persons who are now under its mercy was his own mother and brother who was already shaking like leaf because of it.

"Explain to me again, how come Ichiru is now sitting beside you when you just said and I will emphasize BE HERE ALREADY ICHIRU IS MISSING!" Zero scolded arms folded to his chest and his right foot tapping on their sala floor that just matched with the ticking stress marks all over him as his lilac eyes darkened turning blazing amethyst due to his aggravation to his mother.

Ichika nervously chuckled and gulped under her son's glare. My goodness! When she heard gossips from the parents of some of Zero's classmates stating that her son's glare was force to be reckoned with she never really did expect this. And now that she was the recipient of said force. She will just have to never doubt those parents ever again!

"Onii-san, mother only wanted for you to- gah!" Ichiru started but stopped as he was downright thrown to the deepest and I do mean deepest of the deepest nightmares as the force of his older brother's glare was aimed at him.

"Shut it." Zero's voice was cold and it just echoed throughout the room his face all pissed and violet eyes all looking like he wanted to strangle Ichiru right now coupled with annoyance as well to his own mother.

Ichiru cowered underneath Zero's gaze his sweat already running, soft lilac eyes feeling all tingly and already downcast on the floor. He could not look at his older brother's directly. No one could, in their household it was Zero who they choose never to piss off but this situation led him and his mother to this once in a lifetime occurrence which he was not happy at all to witness.

"Well?" Zero with one of his eyebrow raised inquired, his tapping still there as his glare just darkened and became more intense as the seconds ticked by due to his question left unanswered.

Ichiru and Ichika look at each other breathing heavily as they feel that there were many dark and grabby hands surrounding them and suffocating them.

Ichika couldn't hold it any longer.

"WewantyoutoattendcrossmusicalacademytheinfluentialkuranfamilyrequesteditpleaseZerodoit!" came Ichika's fast announcement while she and Ichiru close their eyes already expecting an explosion.

Seconds ticked by…

Minutes ticked by…

An hour ticked by…

But nothing came as they opened their eyes the scene they saw was much more intense than the other.

Flowers came running in the background and sparkling glitter dust hovered over them as they saw Zero cocked his head to the side like a little boy who was too confuse and adorable.

"Can you say it more slowly, okaa-san?" Zero asked, still looking at them unconsciously with a very cute expression of confusion. "Oi, why are you two looking at me like that?" he asked and give off a pout.

The moment that wonderfully definitely awe pout came upon Zero's face. Ichika and Ichiru's heartbeat was lightning fast and in just a fast track record of 0.025 seconds respectively—

Cue the nosebleed! *confetti exploding in the background*

Ichika and Ichiru got nosebleeds and was already avoiding on looking at Zero again. Who just got even more furious at their actions. Both of them was already trying so hard to find a tissue without having their gaze shift to Zero's cuteness to which the latter doesn't even know he has it.

And when they finally did have the tissue box in their possession. Zero looked ready to throttle them as they held the tissue box like it was a freaking trophy! The duo then proceeded to wipe their bloody noses still not looking at him which just added more to his already furious state.

"Could you two stop acting like fools and tell me already what you just said!" Zero demanded to his mother who had the audacity to look sheepish as she turn her gaze again to him. Tissue still intact on her nose.

"Okain, Zewo" (Okay, Zero) Ichika started but seeing her son's annoyed expression she took off the tissue on her nose and coughed a bit then look at Zero seriously.

"We want you to attend Cross Musical Academy, your presence was requested there by the influential Kuran family to be more precise Haruka and Juri's son was the one who was most adamant on having you there. I believe his name was- "By her words, Zero felt his heart stopped and his blood run cold.

"Kaname." He whispered, his violet eyes turning lilac as he became dazed by the revelation.

"Yes, that's it! It seems you already know him. Just as he said." Ichika continued, completely oblivious of Zero's shock.

"Just as he-he-he- said?" Zero stuttered, already in disbelief and the picture of him looking all aghast and with a look that just plainly say that he's doomed. It was just too good to be true that Ichiru couldn't help but take out his iPhone and take a shot of it using his camera snickering as he did so.

"Yes, he did say that you two were once acquainted with each other." Ichika finished with a smile.

Zero felt like a ton of bricks was on his head piling up. As he remembered many scenes of the past that played out with vivid graphics and color to all of it.

Him being pinned to a tree…

Brutally kissed…

Fear evident on his eyes as he looks at garnet eyes which was filled with mirth at seeing his disheveled form…

And it all fucking started with just a measly love letter he had the bad luck of finding at the wrong fucking place…

Zero could still remember in vague images when his idiot fifteen years old self took a letter from the ground that just so happens was for an arrogant and smug brunette. Who unfortunately for him just got to be there and see him holding it.

With a great misunderstanding and a haughty smirk on his face. That son of a – no, no, no. Juri was so kind to everyone so it's wrong for him to call her a bitch so it makes him wonder where did that piece of shit got his arrogance from!

The bastard had believed that he was the one who put letters on his lockers and was the one who had asked him to meet up at the Sakura garden of the school. And more bad luck was thrown into him as the letter in question had no names on it to verify it wasn't from him and that he was fucking hell not confessing on the pompous rich bastard's ass!

He already denied it with all his might but the stupid in question had already basked himself on the idea that he Zero Kiryu, known as the Stone-Cold Symphony Prince of their academy was confessing to the popularly known as the Melodious Seduction King Kaname Kuran. The bastard was so full of himself that he had given up trying to rectify the situation and left him there.

But the next day was torture the King was more insistent on ruining his day and making his school life like a nightmare.

Every freaking day! It was the same snide remarks, sexual notions and other more embarrassing displays that got Zero wanting to jump from the rooftop!

And then that faithful day happened…

Tongue licking and biting his ear…

Hand inside his shirt pinching and squeezing…

Hot breath tickling his sweat covered face…

Whispers of Seduction ringing through his ears…

Lips upon his blushing red face…

Garnet eyes filled with desire…

And a vow spoken over his caged form…

Hand gripping his wrists above his head…

"You'll never escape me Zero, you already forfeited your whole self to me the moment you had that letter on your hands. You don't have the power to say no to a Kuran. We always get what we want."

That alone got Zero to request transfer from Cross Musical Academy and to Rose Music Academy.

And now as fate would have it he was now at this predicament…

"Tell- tell- me you're joking we've talk- talked about this." Zero reasoned to his very oblivious smiling mother.

"Yes, we did. You are really doing good in your studies at the Rose Music Academy Zero. That makes me proud but Cross Musical Academy is just near to our house so there will be no more expenses on your condo if you transfer back there again. Plus, we can't really say no to the Kurans."

There it was that word, "We can't really say no to the Kurans."

You don't have the power to say no to a Kuran…

You don't have the power to say no to a Kuran…

You don't have the power to say no to a Kuran…

"You're joking." Zero's last attempt on convincing.

"Sadly, no dear. It is all prepared, all the paperworks are done for your transfer Kaname himself did it. He must have a really big need for you to be so quick in getting you back at Cross Musical Academy. Aren't you special and just at the middle of the school year as well." Ichika informed with joy in her eyes totally a contrast to deep anxiety that was so obvious in Zero's eyes.

Quick in getting you back…

Quick in getting you back…

Quick in getting you back… the words keep on echoing in Zero's head forming a hidden message behind all those words that just came unto him by Kaname through his mother's mouth.

"You'll never escape me Zero, We Kurans always get what we want."

What we want…

What we want…

What we want…

I want you…

*BLAG*

"Oh, my goodness! Zero! Ichiru get an icepack!" Ichika admonished as she saw Zero fainted and hit his head on the table.

"At least he didn't explode." Came Ichiru's retort as he heads to the kitchen for an icepack for his older brother amused by the fates play on his older brother. He knew why Zero's reaction was like that there was no secret between them anyway.
