The smell of cherry blossoms always reminded Zero of bitter times, when his parents died...but more importantly, that cold night when he had killed Kaname...a little bit for revenge, some for jealousy, but all for staying alive... for Yuki. It's been a year since then and Yuki still seems to be like a normal person. If it wasn't for Zero this time, they'd both be dead. On a warm evening... Summer Break had begun...
Zero sat on the couch, reading the newspaper, and Yuki sat next to him, a look of bordem in her face. "Zero-kun, tell me why the Headmaster left again." She sighed, rolling over to his side, "Because, he had important peace conferences to attend, he won't be back until tomorrow at the earliest." He said, closing the paper and looking into Yuki's eyes. She turned away abruptly, "Quiet here when nobody is around, you can even hear the clock in Headmaster's room ticking in the next hall..." She said softly, her face turning a bit pink. Zero looked at her, "Something the matter? You seem cautious... It there something you want to say, because you better say it, I'm not going to sit here forever!" He said playfully, Yuki looking back at him, "It's nothing." She muttered, looking into Zero's eyes again and becoming paralyzed. "Thats what you said back then, and I haven't even seen you look at me that same way again." She whined, and Zero's expression became more surprised, "My feelings for you haven't changed Yuki, I just didn't want to seem..." He paused for a second and looked down, feeling slight guilt, Yuki looked at him in wonder, "Seem like what?" She asked, getting closer to Zero. "I thought you loved Kaname more than me, so I never wanted to express my feelings for you after I killed him. I thought you'd hate me for good." He said, placing his hand on her head. Yuki smiled, "You're way too caring for me to hate, you sacrificed your life to save mine many times, and you actually kept my feelings in mind..." She said, blushing, "I never could of asked for anything more. Even if Kaname is dead, he was using me anyways! You never used me, you always thought of me first." Zero looked down at her and smiled, "So you aren't angry. I still love you, if thats the answer you want from me." Yuki nodded shyly and looked up and him, being very close to him, their faces were only a few inches apart. "Will you start where we left off? I was in your arms, remember?" She whispered, and Zero sat up, "Yuki... We need... A bed." He said softly, blushing a bit, "Will you sleep with me tonight?" He asked. Yuki got up and held out her hand, a certain look of love in her eyes told him the answer before she even spoke a word.
At the end of the long corridor was a room, and in it was a large bed. "Shall we?" Zero asked, holding Yuki in his arms.
