I don't own Vampire Knight (I wish I owned Kaname though…)
I can't help thinking about all the things I'd like to do to you.
It's cruel of you, really, to be lying here on the steps where anyone could snatch you up. It makes my skin crawl just thinking about it. Even from this distance I can smell your blood, sweet, intoxicating…
"You're lying in harm's way," I say softly.
I bend down and cover you with my coat. My lips hover above your throat, so close I can almost taste it.
Oh God.
Oh, God.
Without thinking, I pick you up. You press your face into my chest, so tiny in my arms. I carry you to my room and lay you down on the bed gently. You smile faintly as I crawl on top of you, brushing my lips against your neck.
"You're being cruel Yuki," I whisper. "So cruel…" I breathe in your scent, my heart thudding in my chest. "So…God-damn…cruel..."
I lift my head and stare at your fragile body. I know that I could break you so easily, and the thought scares me and thrills me at the same time. What if…? Couldn't I just…?
My thoughts make me sick, but they don't go away. There's no stopping what I'm about to do.
A minute after I call Ruka, she arrives.
I go over to the window and beckon her towards me. Neither of us speaks. Neither of us thinks. I just grab her around the waist and sink my fangs into her throat.
The warm blood comes as a relief, but it's nothing compared to what I know yours would taste like. I drink hard, biting into her flesh, gripping her tightly. I know that I'm taking too much blood, but I can't stop, won't stop.
I'm imagining it's you.
"Ah…Kana…Sa…" Ruka pants, her body unsteady. "No…more…"
I see you staring at us just as she collapses in my arms.
In that moment, I know I'll never forget the look in your eyes.
You turn and run, your hands covering your mouth. I watch you go, feeling the blood trickling down my chin.
"Yes," I say, even though you can't hear me any more. "It's best to run away."
I let Ruka slip onto the floor, still bleeding.
You're so cruel, Yuki.
You make me cruel.
