Chapter 1: Inevitable (Part 1)

Morning came and lit the whole academy with splendor; the soft rays of the sun penetrated the gentle leaves that lay forgotten on the cold morning ground. The birds chirped happily as they soar above the roofs of each dorm that they would see. But they are not our main characters; they will be as free as ever longing to fly even at ends of the world. As far as no one is concerned, there lay two people on one single little bed on the Sun dorms; one was a small girl with chocolate brown hair and a boy in his teenage years with beautiful silver hair. They lay sprawled on the bed cuddling with each other as if it was their end. The silver haired boy stirred as the sunlight hit his majestic and handsome face, physical features didn't matter to him and he always woke up everyday like that, he hated the sunlight which woke him up everyday, it stings his eyes sometimes… he was a vampire after all, a nearing Level E at that.

Zero stared in awe as he felt a soft lump above him, it was breathing, his sight was welcomed with a chocolate brown haired girl sleeping above him, one hand resting on his chest and another on his cheek, a faint smile tugged on the corner of his lips as he watched his dear Little Yuuki sleep, she had been tired all night watching him, he felt better than last night, his fever had subsided and it was all thanks to a small chocolate brown haired girl whom he loved all his life.

He felt sorry for the girl for she worked herself out all night, she had been pampering him throughout the night, and sleep didn't matter at all when he was the one she was worried about. And he somehow had the idea that things would become more interesting after all that has happened yesterday……

LAST NIGHT…. (Flashback)

The harsh wind blew all over the academy; the heavy rain has not yet subsided for a storm was not planning to stop at any moment possible. Out of all the harshness outside, Zero lay asleep upon the hay which his horse, White Lily was currently feeding on; his senses were activated when White Lily chewed on his beautiful silver locks. He patted the horse's head once he got off its tight clutch on his hair. The stable door busted open as Yuuki tried to compete with the winds strength, wearing a raincoat while holding her umbrella tightly to her chest. She was soaked from head to toe and water tickled down from her hood to the ground. The fact was that she was adorable and cute even if she was soaked.

Yuuki trudged towards Zero; she gave the umbrella roughly to him. She pouted as she made her way towards a bench near the horse. Before she could even take a step near the bench, the horse went wild and stomped its mighty legs angrily on the cemented floor. Yuuki took a sudden step backwards and was heading to the cold and hard ground when zero lunged after her and caught her in time. After a millisecond, he exchanged places with her, his back hitting the floor first. Yuuki stared at his magnificent lavender eyes, but after a while, she realized how embarrassing their position was. Her legs were on either side of his and her face was a three inches near his face.

Zero decided to make the first move. He lifted himself up causing her to stumble onto the side. He offered her a hand and she gladly took it.

"What the hell are you doing here? Can't you see there's a storm terrorizing town?" Yuuki pouted as she dusted her raincoat. "There's no use telling me that! I'm already here," He massaged his temples.

"Give me a good reason little girl" Yuuki tensed.

"I was worried you dummy! You haven't returned home since the rain started so I thought you were stranded here without an umbrella." Zero smirked. Yuuki fixed her hair with her hands. But a thought entered his mind. She was worried for him. She was… worried! The love of his life… was worried about him??

"W-worried..? You were worried?" zero asked, his hands placed heavily on both of her shoulders. Her brown eyes widened in surprise. "Yeah... I was... what's the matter with you Zero? Don't I always?" Zero kept his gaze fixed on her. Yuuki was getting uncomfortable in the situation.

She shook his hands from her shoulders and picked up the umbrella that she dropped earlier. Zero's hands fell to his sides. Yuuki tiptoed so that her hands would reach his forehead. Zero let out a frustrated sigh. She had her other hand on her own. Yuuki's eyes widened.

"Zero! You're burning up with fever! Let's go back before it gets worse." Yuuki tugged the sleeve of his shirt and handed him a pink umbrella. He stared at it for a while then headed outside after being pulled out.

The storm really was strong, leaves that stood still in the calm day were scattered everywhere, leaving such a mess one cannot finish in one day's clean-up. A small yet warm hand kept pulling him off the harsh rain. A strong wind blew his umbrella away. Yuuki noticed as her favorite umbrella flying amidst the roof of the Sun dorm. She shot Zero a "you're-gonna-pay-for-my-favorite-umbrella-you-jerk" look. Zero rubbed his temples and proceeded to where she was leading him.

Yuuki led him to his room in the Sun dorm; she made him sit on a stool beside the bed and rushed to his bathroom. Zero heaved a sigh.

"Why is she doing this for me? She'll get sick later on and then the chairman's gonna let me take care of her" he thought.

Yuuki went back with a towel in her hands. She dried zero's silver hair with it. Zero can't help but get annoyed.

"I can dry myself you know." He said straightly. "You're being a dummy again. Just let me take care of all this." Yuuki sighed. Before she reached the door to his bathroom. Zero spoke suddenly. "Aren't you gonna dry yourself?" she looked back. "I actually forgot" she scratched the back of her head then giggled curiously. Zero smirked.

Zero's POV:

"I actually forgot" she said while scratching the back of her head.

How stupid is she? Forgetting to dry herself while drying me. She's has to be crazy. I shouldn't jump to conclusions… she forgot her own good because she was worried about me… she really is the caring type. But what am I talking about? Maybe I'm the stupider one since I'm in-love with this crazily stupid and caring girl. But what the heck! At least I'm way ahead of Kuran now. Has he ever experienced having his hair dried by yuuki? Or even walking under the rain with her? NO! He's my slave now!

The door to my bathroom opened. Revealing a little girl wearing my shirt… WAIT! My shirt???? What stunt is she trying to pull? She looks so cute in my shirt. No perverted thoughts zero! She's your sister for god's sake!

Oh Yuuki's back! Think straight!

Back to normal POV:

"It really was stupid and crazy for me to have forgotten myself, ne?" she giggled. Her laughter sounded like tiny bells. Zero looked away from embarrassment. Yuuki pulled him to the bed.

"Oh! You're shirt's soaked! Where did you put your shirts again?" Zero pointed a drawer to her. "Oh! Right…" she scratched the back of her head. Yuuki pulled out a fresh shirt and pants from the drawer. She returned back to Zero with a hint of red on her cheeks.

"Well, aren't you gonna let me change those wet clothes of yours?" Zero looked away again. "I can change myself… if that's what you're about to do." He attempted to grab the set of clothes from her but she insisted. "I'm not going to let a sick person do dirty work!" she crossed her arms in front of her chest.

Zero smirked. "You call changing my clothes dirty work?" yuuki was flustered. "Well… yeah!" they were silent for a while before zero thought of a comeback. "Then what do you call wearing other people's laundry?" Yuuki blushed. "T-this is y-your lau-laundry???" her eyes went wide. Zero nodded his head in agreement, a hint of red crept across his cheeks. "Why were you wearing it anyway?" yuuki fiddled with the edges of her skirt in confusion.

"Stop fiddling it yuuki… you're making it hard for me to concentrate!" he thought wildly.

"I didn't think it was laundry since it smelled nice." She looked away. Zero chuckled lightly. "What are you laughing about you…you… jerk!" yuuki stuttered. Zero had a chance to pull his shirt and pants away. "All right, time for you to turn around, it's changing time" zero spun his pointing finger in front of her to make her obey his order.

Yuuki smirked. "Why should I? You're a boy anyway!" she had her arms crossed again. Zero had a mischievous look in his face. "Why should you not? You're a girl by the way! Girls are supposed to be gentle and conservative remember? Where's that girl attitude I'm looking for? What will your boyfriend Kuran say if he found out that you had the hots for me?" Yuuki spun around to face the door. "All right! I'm not looking! And he's not my boyfriend!" zero started to undress himself, and then he thought of a way to tease yuuki.

"It's alright to peak yuuki, I know you want to" Yuuki tensed… "Jeez, he's such a perv!" she thought. "I don't!" her voice was a bit hoarse from all the shouting. After a while, zero finished dressing up. "Okay, I'm finished." He said wryly. Yuuki turned to face him. "Lie down zero, I'll just go and get some medicine for you." He did as he was told and groaned as his back hit the comfortable bed. She returned to the bathroom in search for medicine. But she found none. She returned to his room. "Jeez zero! There isn't any medicine in your room! How do you even manage to live here?" yuuki dug her fingers into her pocket and found her medicine box. She opened it and got the medicine for fever. Zero stared at her unbelievably. She noticed it.

"What? It's not like I'm stupid to forget my job right? I mean, you should carry one too! You're a prefect too remember?" she filled a glass with water and handed it to him with the medicine on one hand. Zero gulped the medicine down and placed the glass of water on his nightstand.

"Whatever you say Yuuki, whatever you say." He said boringly Yuuki watched him as he slipped under the covers. She sat beside his bed and stared at him as he tried to sleep. Zero felt uncomfortable with her intense gaze so he thought of a plan to stop the uncomfortable feeling.

"Yuuki, stop staring. It's un-lady like ya' know" Zero grunted, pulling the covers down. Yuuki blushed deeply and turned the other side. "I'm just concerned, it's not like it's the first time I've done this." Zero rested his arm on his eyes, blocking the light away. Yuuki noticed that the light was stinging his eyes so she stood up and turned it off. Zero sighed. Yuuki sat back on the chair.

"If you keep staring at me like that, I'll melt" he joked. Yuuki grinned. She remembered the first time she took care of him after he got a fever for the first time at the chairman's house, she stared at him like that and he told her the same thing.

"You never change zero, it's still funny" Yuuki punched him lightly on the arm. He groaned. "Who told you I've changed?" his eyebrow's furrowed. Yuuki chuckled lightly. There really was no change. Contradicting on the fact that he was towering a few good inches above her than when they were children. "There really is a change!" she lied. Zero removed his arm from his eyes. "What changed?" he was confused. "I still love you" he thought. "Well, you're taller than when we first met, I have to look up just to make eye-contact with you when we're talking, and it's a pain in the neck" they both chuckled.

"Don't worry, I'll bend over next time we talk little shrimp!" yuuki punched him hard on the arm. "Hey! I'm just kidding! And you shouldn't hit a sick person, I'll never get well if you do" zero caressed his silvery locks. Yuuki looked down. "Sorry. That was careless of me" She blushed lightly. Zero covered his face with the sleeves of his shirt to hide the intense blush that he was making. "Don't apologize, it's like you're talking to Kuran when you do that." Yuuki still had her head down. "Jealous much?" she joked. "Y-yeah…" he muttered loud enough for yuuki to hear. They both looked at each other, the looked away after a while. They looked on different places after that.

Silence roamed the place. Zero decided to break the silence. "You know I was only kidding. Don't take it too seriously." Yuuki nodded. "Alright. You should sleep now; your fever might get worse if you don't. I'll sleep here tonight" zero's eyes opened wide but he didn't look at her, his sleeve was still covering his face.

"I'm old now; I can take care of myself." Yuuki had a determined look in her face. "I'm sorry but I believe I can't do that" zero's eyebrow's again furrowed. Why was she doing this in the first place? Oh right! She was concerned after all!

"Don't be stubborn yuuki, it's an order." Yuuki crossed her arms in front of her chest after hearing this. "You can't order me around I'm old enough to decide what I want to do. And I want to take care of you. Kiryuu Zero" zero tensed, this girl can really pull the collar off him. "Alright, if that's what you want then." He sighed. But he realized that he had only one bed on his room, there were no couches in his room since he loved sitting on his bed. He hated sofas. Then that means that yuuki would have to sleep in a chair beside his bed since she's the "conservative" type.

If she was being stubborn then why doesn't he try to be like that for once? He thought of a plan. "You're sleeping on the chair all night?" he asked. "Yeah. I don't have a choice don't I?" she sounded sleepy. "Do be a good girl and lie beside me" he offered, moving a few spaces to prepare a space for her to lie down on. "I don't want to. I'm fine he-"

He cut her off by pulling her to the bed with him. She landed on the space he has made for her. She struggled to break free but zero placed an arm on her waist tightly and a leg prevented her from escaping. "Let me go at once. You dummy!" she shouted many times but zero insisted and grabbed her waist more tightly. She kept shouting, but luckily, the boys in the dorm were all asleep so no one could actually hear them

"Yuuki, stop shouting, they might think we're doing "it" " Yuuki blushed at this and surrendered. Zero brought her closer to him, her face buried in his chest. "Don't be such a jerk zero, I'm not easy to get!" she whispered. Zero chuckled and buried his face in her chestnut hair. "I know. I know."

Yuuki's POV:

Why is Zero acting strange today? Maybe it's the effect of the medicine..? Or maybe it's because of his high fever? Oh I don't know! Maybe he just felt like it today. He really teases me a lot and maybe he's on the way to teasing me to the next level?

His actions quite confuse me… he's never like this before. And the way he pulled me to his bed, God! That was excruciating! Lucky for me I didn't get my knee scraped or I'll tempt his bloodlust again. Wait a second! Maybe he's lusting for blood… he hasn't taken from me for a week already. Maybe that's why he's acting weird! Maybe it can even make his fever go away! That's right! I'll do it!

Normal POV:

"Ne, Zero-kun…" she poked his arm. Zero sleepily groaned. "Yeah…?" Yuuki gulped before telling him anything.

"You haven't taken from me for a week…" his eyes shot wide. "And…?" his eyes gleamed with curiosity. "Drink from me, it might help you get better" she offered. "No… yuuki…you can't…!" zero clutched tightly on her arm, but yuuki insisted and sat up from the bed.

Yuuki began to unbutton the shirt that she borrowed from zero. After a while, she revealed her creamy white neck to him. "Drink…Zero". Zero licked his lips instantly. His bloodlust cannot be controlled even if he wanted to. He didn't want to hurt yuuki but his body betrayed him. He too sat up and grabbed her by the shoulders forcefully. Yuuki managed the pain.

"Why are you doing this…? Yuuki…?" she smiled gently at him…

"Because I want to. It's not out of an obligation. It's out of my own decision." He was confused but somehow or the other his heart understood.

"I'm sorry… Yuuki." She just nodded and arched her back for better access. Just as his canine fangs sunk to her flesh, she couldn't help but cry. The pain was so intense, she felt like being ate alive. She can't think of that now, since zero can trace her emotions just by drinking her blood. She feared that he may find out the fear of him that she was secretly hiding in the depths of her heart.

Zero silently sucked the blood which she offered him. It was a sin he's never going to run out from. A sin which puts the love of his life in jeopardy. What is she runs out of blood and die before him? What if her blood won't be enough to sate his bloodlust? Better yet, what if he won't get contented even after draining her of her life? The consequence was high yet this lovable person here is too stubborn to admit it to herself.

Yuuki noticed that zero is taking too much than the usual. His breathing was more haggard and quick. She feared that his fever was growing worse. She wanted him to rest for a while for her to replenish her blood. But she pushed and pushed yet nothing happened. She was getting scared now, he wasn't stopping. She tried to pull on his hair, but he only pushed her onto the bed so that he was on top of her.

Like a lion killing his prey softly, yuuki was scared. She didn't know what to do that time since she was helpless. But somehow, another side of her wanted the feeling of being helpful for one time in her life. Zero wanted to stop but his body just won't let him. It's been a week since he last drank from her and god was it amazing!

After a while, zero came back to his senses, yuuki became a bit dizzy and started to sleep for a while. Zero shook her shoulders lightly; she stirred for a while then opened her eyes to see him hovering above her. She smiled at him for a while then felt the pain searing from her neck. Blood still flowed since it wasn't cleaned yet.

"Ah… could you please fix that…? It doesn't feel that good." Zero nodded then started to lick her neck clean. Yuuki felt ticklish and began to giggle for a bit. Zero withdrew his mouth from her neck since the blood stopped flowing.

"I almost forgot that you were ticklish… Sorry if I" Yuuki cut him off by covering his mouth with her palm. "Stop apologizing already, you know I'll always do it if it was for you" Zero thought of an insult to tease her.

"Would you do that for Kuran too?" her eyebrows twitched, but she never blushed since her blood had been decreased. "Why do you always bring him up? It's like you're jealous or something! Jeez!" she caressed her temples with her hand.

Zero really was jealous. He was jealous of how she blushed every time she saw that pureblood, of how she seem to trust that other vampire more than him, of how she looks dreamily at that vicious monster such as himself, of how she manages to admire him even after what she saw years ago at the night dorms, and lastly, he was jealous of how close she and that dorm leader seem to be. In fact he was so insecure that he always picks fights with him. He just hates him to hell.

"It's not that… I just..." he looked away, his body still resting on top of hers, but she didn't seem to mind. "You just…?" her curiosity was reaching into something.

"I just want to protect you, okay? There! I said it! Satisfied?" he lowered his face and inch above hers. "Yeah yeah… I get it!" she sighed. Her hot breath reached his nose. "But you know what?" zero's eyebrows twitched. "What?" she giggled.

"It would be better if you actually get off of me… see?" she pointed to his and her body" zero got off of her quickly and lay on his bed.

"Let's just sleep okay?" yuuki nodded. Cuddling onto his warmth. "Alright. Sleep tight Yuuki." She chuckled. "Yeah. You too Zero!"

And after that night, things changed a lot between the loving lion and the considerate lamb

END OF FLASHBACK:

Yuuki opened her eyes slowly, she found herself on top of Zero. She felt his forehead and smiled when she found out that his fever had subsided already. "Good morning" she chuckled. "You too…!" they stared at each other for a while, then after a while she realized what she had just missed. She jumped off of zero and headed for his bathroom.

"We're late for prefect duties!" she put on her uniform and headed out to the door. The boys from the sun dorms shouted and hooted.

"Wohoo! Prefect's night out! Good show last night Kiryuu!" a boy shouted. Zero peaked at his door just to see all his dorm mates laughing.

He headed out to the window and caught sight of Yuuki.

"Yuuki! It's Saturday! No classes!" yuuki looked back and thanked him. "It took you long enough to say it you jerk!" zero smirked. A boy from the dorm tapped his shoulder.

"So, did you enjoy last night?" zero's eyes tensed. What the hell were they talking about? Oh! They must have heard her.

"Was she a good girl?" The other boys asked. Zero chuckled. "Yes, she was. She always is." With that he headed back to his room, and later he might even get a chance to sleep on her bed next time.

But till then, there's still another enemy on the look-out. Kuran Kaname.
