Transparent between two objects(meshes?)

Question

I'm newbie in Shader Programing. I created a simple shader with a radial gradient, and when they intersect, I want increase transpency. I would like something like this effect: Image transperent two objects

SubShader {
    Tags { "Queue" = "Geometry+10" }
    Pass{
        ColorMask rgb   
        //ZWrite On
        Blend Zero OneMinusSrcAlpha 
        CGPROGRAM 
        #pragma vertex vert
        #pragma fragment frag
        float4 _Color;
        float4 _ColorDark;
        float _Radius;
        //float _Offset;
        float _Strength;
        struct vertexInput {
            float4 vertex : POSITION;
        };
        struct vertexOutput {
            float4 pos : SV_POSITION;
            float4 posInObjectCoords : TEXCOORD0;
        };
        vertexOutput vert(vertexInput input) 
        {
            vertexOutput output;
            output.pos =  mul(UNITY_MATRIX_MVP, input.vertex);
            output.posInObjectCoords = input.vertex; 
            return output;
        }
        float4 frag( vertexOutput  input) : COLOR 
        {
            float z = input.posInObjectCoords.z * input.posInObjectCoords.z ;
            float x = input.posInObjectCoords.x * input.posInObjectCoords.x ;
            float r = _Radius * _Radius;
            float alf = (x+z) / r;
            return float4 (_ColorDark.r , _ColorDark.g ,_ColorDark.b, alf * _Strength);
        }
        ENDCG
    }
}

Yeah, maybe code is not so beauty, but for tests it's useful. Thank you for any answer!

Just use additive blending instead alpha blending.

Blend SrcAlpha One or Blend One One

Thank you, but it is work only with solid color. And Why additive blending render only red and white colors? o.o – nipercop May 20 '15 at 07:18
Put it to the Transparent render queue, like @Stas BZ suggested. – Geri Borbás May 20 '15 at 09:31

Try this

...
Tags { "Queue" = "Transparent" }
Pass{
    ColorMask rgb   
    //ZWrite On
    Blend SrcAlpha OneMinusSrcAlpha
    ...

Thank you, but it is work only with solid color. And not matter Queue is transparent or Geometry, shows one result. For me, must be Geometry, because I will carve on another subject these circles. (colormask) – nipercop May 20 '15 at 07:41
