Chapter 1: Love and Fear

*Yuki's POV*

I stood there, nervous as ever as I stood outside Zero's dorm room door. His room is separated from all the others, so he was all alone back here with my room close by as well. Ever since Zero devoured his brother, he's been so distant from me... Yes, it's true, I can tell how people feel through their facial expressions, but Zero... Zero is different. I can't read him easily. I have to dig to find him out...

My love for Zero as a best friend slowly faded as I developed feelings for the silver haired man. I never would've expected Zero to be the one I'd fall for, and easily too. Anyways, it had started when Zero woke up from a bad dream a couple months prier to now...

(Flashback)

Zero was on the couch, laying his head down on the pillow in his school uniform, only without his jacket, tie, and shoes, of course. He was going to take a shower but was waiting for me, so he had a blue towel in his arms. I walked out of the bathroom in a bra, white spagetti strap tank top, light pink skirt, and a lavender towel in my arm, same color as Zero's eyes, a lovely shade of lavender. I saw Zero on the couch, his eyes closed, towel in his arms, and steady breathing.

He's asleep, great... I thought as I couldn't help but shake my head slightly and smile. I walked over to the couch and got to the floor, admiring how perfect his facial features were up close. I lightly caressed his cheek with my free hand, my lips curved slightly into a small smile as I whispered to him softly.

"What are you dreaming about...Zero?"

(Zero's Dream)

*Zero's POV*

I opened my eyes to find myself in a fancy looking room, like a ballroom or something. I looked around as I walked forward to see if I could get out of this room when a woman appeared before me. Immediately, I reconized who it was. No one could mistake that long, silver white hair and that wicked smirk on her face.

"Shizuka Hio..." I stated, "What are you doing here?"

Suddenly, Shizuka flashed to Yuki before flashing back as I took a step back in shock. That's when the flashing continued as I saw puncture marks on her neck and blood overflowing down her neck. I covered my mouth when I felt something on my chin. I pulled my hand away only to see the treterous crimson red fluid that was Yuki's blood. You can't mistake that taste... It was so rich, so pure, so...delicious. Shizuka then spoke, still flashing to Yuki.

"Do you see that, Zero? You just devoured your master... Or shall I say...your one and only lover? I may be your master, but what will you do now that I am gone as well as your precious little Yuki?" Shizuka flashed into Yuki again, not changing back as Yuki's lifeless body fell forwards. With quick speed, I caught her cold, lifeless corpse in my arms. Tears overflowed my face as I screamed out.

(Dream End)

"Yuki!" I shot up from the couch as my eyes snapped open. I quickly grabbed my chest and began panting hard, on the verge or tears falling from my eyes, but I forced them back down.

"Zero! Are you all right?"

That voice. I knew exactly who just called out to me as I turned my head. I sat there, silent as I saw Yuki on the floor right next to the couch, worry shinning in her chocolate brown orbs.

"What's the matter, Zero? Did you have a...bad dream?"

"Yuki..." that's all I said before I got to the floor and threw my arms around her tightly, fear running through my body as I tried not to tremble.

That one dream, no, that nightmare changed how I felt about Yuki from that day forth, and I've never felt the same ever since then...
