Untouchable


To put it simply, people assume that I'm cold and distant. I'm not. They just don't understand my reason for living. They don't understand why, even though he is supposed to be the only important thing in her life, I still love her. I love her as much as I did when we were little, if not more. I love her, but as much as I want to, I can't save her.

Yuki...

If there's anything I hate more that vampires, and yes, I do know that means that I hate myself, it's weakness. I can't stand not being able to save Yuki from all this crap in her life. But, if he makes her happy, then I'll just have to keep to myself to keep my Princess* happy.

Kaname knows it, too. He knows that as much as I hate him, I won't do a single damn thing because I don't want to hurt her. He knew I loved Yuki before I did. Too bad she didn't realize it, too.

Kaname's POV

Is it truly worth it? Breaking poor Zero, that is? Yuki was created to be my wife, though, so I shouldn't feel any bad feelings about telling him that,... but if that's true, why do I? Is it because he loves her, too? Is it because Zero has drank from both Yuki and I? Or is it something else? Is it the fact that no matter how happy she may be with me, a part of Yuki still just wants to be with Kiryu Zero?

"... Kuran-sama." The headmaster's voice freed me from my silent reverie, drawing my attention back to the matter at hand.

"Yes, Headmaster Cross?" Did my voice sound colder than usual, or was it just me?

"Kaname, you know that Yuki is like a daughter to me. I would do anything to protect her. Now, granted, she may have been borne with the sole purpose of being your wife, but the time she spent as a regular human has changed her. She's still your loving little sister, but at the same time she's an important and beloved person in other people's lives. I cannot allow you to do something for your own personal gain, especially if it hurts Yuki. You understand, don't you? You have to let her choose." Kaien's usually care-free tone was deathly serious as he spoke, emphasizing his opinion on the matter.

"Yes, Kaien, I do know. I wouldn't do anything to hurt Yuki, either. I love her."

Zero's POV

I could feel my teeth grinding together so hard that it actually made my head hurt. The both had to know that I was just on the other side of the door and could hear every word they said. How dare he say he loves her! He's only using her! And the worst thing is, she believes him when he says it. She'll believe him until the day she dies.

"Yuki... Don't you know that I love you, too?" I couldn't help but say that to myself, knowing that she'll never choose me. "It's because you've always loved him, isn't it? Ever since you were little. Do you how much it hurt me to see you so absorbed with him when I was right beside you? But... you were happy. Even if it hurt the hell out of me, if you were happy, I'd put up with it... because I love you. You may not have noticed, but I always did."

Yuki's POV

"Zero..." I pulled my head away from the wall, his words still echoing in my ears. Even if he heard my whisper and found out that I had been listening, I could care less. He said he loves me!

Wait... Zero loves me? H-how? And... and he just stood there as I went on about Kaname... I must seem like such a bitch for not noticing! And to think, he's bit his tongue for all these years, put up with Kaname... all to make sure I was happy. That dumbass! He could have told me! Or he could have at least done something other than be distant all the damn time!

"Zero, you dummy! You could have told me!" I hope he heard my words as I wiped the tears from my eyes and started my walk back to my dorm.

=x=x=

Jeez, why did Headmaster have to change my dorm? Just because I'm a vampire now, He won't let me stay in the sun dorm. Oh well. I guess I understand the reasoning behind it... It's just that Zero isn't living here. He got to stay in his dorm. Wait! Why am I even thinking about Zero? I have Kaname. I've always had Kaname. He was the one that saved me all those years ago from tha class E vampire. And... we're engaged. A shiver runs down my spine at the thought, but I can't tell if it's out of happiness or fear. I know that I've always loved Kaname, but... Just what do I feel about Zero...?

Zero's POV

Did... Did I just hear Yuki? Oh, shit! She heard what I said! Great. Now she'll hate me, and go tell Kaname. Of course. She has to tell him anything that goes on in her life. Just great.

Okay, there's not really anything I can do about it now. I might as well try to go get some sleep before I either break the wall or try to break Kaname's face... or worse.

How could my day go so wrong?


* refers to Yuki's name meaing "snow" or "princess," which is used in the manga.

-And that's chapter one! I hope you enjoyed it. I know, it's really really short, but I will only continue if this gets at least a few good reviews. Sorry if it's crap, it was just a random idea that came to mind a few days ago. Also, I DO NOT own Vampire Knight. Until next time (if there is one),
