The Nighttime Garden

* This is the first story I've ever wrote and uploaded to the Internet and I hope that you enjoy it. I might continue to build it in to something more. Please let me know what you think and if there are any areas for improvement. (I know that there are) Thank you! :)

This story takes place after Yuki has been turned back in to a vampire and her, Kaname, and company are living in the Kuran mansion. I am completely for Kaname and Yuki being together and hope, that in the manga, this will happen in the end.

He watched her. He so often watched her. His eyes traveled over her beautiful face. Such delicate and feminine features and so young. He studied her features carefully taking in as much as he could. Her long eyelashes, her light rosy cheeks, and her alabaster skin that he could touch for hours if she would let him. He fantasized often about touching her. Her soft pale lips that were ever so slightly parted as she slept, and her long, shiny, chestnut brown hair that framed her face perfectly and was currently spread along her pillow. He thought of her eyes, which were closed at the moment. Their colour a lovely mix of red wine and blood that could gaze so deeply in to him. Sometimes when she looked at him with those eyes he would feel as if he were transparent, like she could see right through him. And of course, her scent, which he could only describe as sunshine, but not like the fiery flames of the sun, but soft, bright morning rays that painted everything in light and gave the world a cheerful glow.

When he kissed her he savoured her taste which seemed like a combination of honey, pomegranate, and white wine. But it was definitely her voice that left her gorgeous mouth that was the major culprit. She could simply speak his name and he would feel warm chills throughout his body and when she talked to him and told him about her day, he could listen for hours to her and gaze at her beauty. This particular evening she wore a sage green summer dress that fell just above her knees with short sleeves and a white collar. He loved everything that she wore and felt that everything that she put on was adorable.

Kaname loved to watch and listen when it came to his Yuki and everything that she said seemed to paint his grey heart in colour and make him feel truly happy. Before he had woke her and revived her memories breaking the lid that Juri Kuran had placed within her, he had felt an agonizing loneliness. He would watch her but that was all that he could do. Watch her get in to dangerous situations with Zero, and he couldn't intervene. He had to play his part. The pieces in his game were all organised perfectly and he had to let the events unfold. It was all worth it, in the end, to have Yuki here with him now. He could watch her sleep for hours until at last, he would have to leave her to focus on the other things. The threats, killings, and investigations, not to mention the meetings with the hunter society. Yuki was his escape from it all and he could drown in everything that was her.

Her eye lashes fluttered and her eyes slowly opened. From the light in the room she could tell that it was just after sunset and the beginning of twilight. Her eyes glanced around the room while everything came in to focus and then fell upon her elder brother gazing down at her from above with a soft smile on his lips. She immediately felt her heart flutter in her chest as she met the soft gaze of his deep wine coloured eyes. She quickly took in his details. His deep brown hair softly falling in pieces down in his eyes and near his shoulders. He wore a black casual dress shirt that wasn't tucked in to his white dress pants. She gazed at his open shirt collar and how it displayed his pale neck so nicely. The contrast of the black shirt to his white skin allured her and she suddenly realised just how dry her mouth was. He knew what she desired.

"Yuki." He spoke softly.

Her heart fluttered again at the sound of his intoxicating voice. She began to form a reply but had to swallow once and try again.

"Kaname." She smiled at him.

"Did you sleep well?" He asked her. "The entire day has passed. You must have been tired." His hand then reached down and brushed some of her hair away from her face and back behind her ear.

"I was very tired this morning but I feel much better now onii-sama."

His heart smiled at her words.

"That's good Yuki." He replied as his hand softly made its way down her cheek and neck. "You're thirsty aren't you?"

She nodded knowing what offer would follow after she did so.

"Take what you need Yuki and grant me some distress won't you?"

She sat up and shyly wrapped her delicate arms around his neck and gently brought her lips close to the right side of his neck. Her warm tongue travelled along the length of his neck and he shivered with pleasure and anticipation. She did this a few times savouring his taste before her mouth opened wider and she sunk her fangs in to his skin as further pleasure coursed through him.

"Yuki." He spoke her name with love. She drank steadily.

Gulk, gulk, gulk.

"Yes, just like that." He encouraged her. He was happy that she was finally using her fangs.

When she was satisfied a few minutes later she withdrew her fangs from his neck and softly licked her bite marks and they vanished. She brought her face back up to meet his and they were nose to nose meeting each other's gaze. He threaded his long fingers through her hair and pulled her in for a kiss. Their lips met for a few moments before parting. It was a loving kiss and a sweet kiss but if Kaname had had his way there would have been more passion involved. He wanted to be gentle with her even though his urges were so strong at times. He looked at her after the kiss to find her blushing which he found adorable, and smiling. He was still so close to her and he listened carefully to her pulse, which had quickened slightly during and after their kiss. Her blood was running quickly through her veins. He could sense it, hear it, and see it travelling along.

"Kaname?" Yuki began. "Can we go for a walk in the garden later on?

There was a moment's pause in which Yuki thought that he was considering it before he pushed her back down on the bed with her head landing back on her soft pillow. She gasped lightly and was ready to speak but her voice caught in her throat as her brother leaned over her, bringing his face down very close to hers. His hair fell down in his eyes and hers, and his eyes were glowing a bright red that made her stomach flip. He threaded his fingers lightly through her hair again.

"Yuki…" He licked her neck and her heart began to race as a result.

He had smelled sunshine and now he wanted to taste it and have it fill him with light and positive thoughts that could only belong to his dear sister. His hands grasped the bed sheets and clenched tightly as his mouth opened and he pierced her neck with his fangs. She gasped again as her body threw itself upwards momentarily before resting back on the bed. He was latched tightly to her neck and sucking her blood deeply she felt. Her warm blood filled his mouth and he swallowed hungrily savouring the wonderful feeling it brought him. He could feel her deep love for him and saw, in his mind, many colourful flowers.

For nearly five minutes he drank from her neck and she felt that her body was ready to weaken slightly when he withdrew his fangs from her. Blood trickled down her neck but he had licked it away before it reached the bed sheets. He lifted his face to look down at her once again, his eyes still glowing, but more softly.

"Kaname…" She began but he stopped her with another kiss. He had all night with her to simply be with her, talk with her, listen to her, and touch her. He thought to himself then, that he would start all of these things, out in the garden.
