Yuuki had found herself breathing the cold air outside. Night school had not started and her worries over Kaname begun. She was tired as well, giving her own blood to the other vampires drained her. Despite all the disagreements she had with the others for giving her own blood, she wanted to make the sacrifice.

She was watching the familiar shape of the guard below her. "Zero..." whispered Yuuki.

Zero was clearly aware of Yuuki watching him. He could sense her now that she was a vampire. Once he heard her whisper his name, he ignored it.

"If I stayed as a human," Yuuki began. "Could I have properly fallen in love in you?"

Zero closed his eyes and faced away from her. He was silent.

Yuuki expected this but she continued on, "If the Kuran family never existed. If vampire hunting wasn't needed. If vampires didn't drink blood." She then boldly said in a low voice, "If vampires never existed."

Then Zero replied, "Are you saying that you never wanted to exist?"

Yuuki then leaped down from that second floor and faced Zero. Once Zero had drawn his gun, the two looked at each other intensely.

Yuuki then sighed, then gazed at the night sky. She breathed, "It's good to know you're still the same Zero."

Hearing the silence caused Yuuki to sigh again. Zero kept his gun alert as Yuuki turned to face him. She then asked, "What happened to us?"

His face was hard as he glared at his friend. The friend he laughed with, worked with, lived with...

Yuuki then walked towards him and grabbed the gun and held it to her chest.

"What are you doing?" Zero demanded.

She then smiled, "Oh good you're alive."

He gave an exasperated look, "Yuuki..."

Yuuki then pulled on his gun and reached up to kiss his cheek. She then whispered into his ear, "I won't tell you yet. I'll say it properly later."

He then whispered back, "I will too." Then Yuuki's lips found his as their most deepest feelings for each other were exchanged through their blood. The night raged on, with their hushed love that lingered in the icy air,
