Vampire in the Lilies
Note: Now, I only recently got into Vampire Knight. I know, the anime has been out since 2008 and its 2016 now (yikes), not to mention the manga has been out for waaay longer. I remember my friend cosplaying Yuki when I was like… in middle school! I have always been a vampire anime/manga connoisseur, being a loyal fan to series such as: Rosario + Vampire, Chibi Vampire/Karin, Dance in the Vampire Bund, and now even Seraph of the End -Vampire Reign-.
Yet, for some unknown reason, I always stayed away from Vampire Knight. Until one day earlier this summer, I saw the Vampire Knight complete series for a reasonable price, and finally began to watch it and really enjoy it. So of course, like all my sudden obsessions, I go search up fanfictions about it, and dear lord there are so many ones for this amazing series! But, a common theme I've seen (at least in the recently updated sections of this community) is how most of the ships are KaZe (Kaname x Zero). Of course, I see and even ship that myself, but from what I see in this community, Yuki is usually seen a side character. Of course, I'm not judging anyone's fanfics, I believe everyone's stories are their own beautiful thing, but; I wanted to focus on the love triangle that is so present in the actual anime/manga and more importantly—Yuki.
Thus, Vampire in the Lilies was born. I'm still relatively new to this fandom, but I wrote this story in hopes of sharing my ideas with this amazing and supportive website! Please, just like more authors on here, review. It really helps me grow as a writer and decipher whether this story is worth continuing! So please review with all the praise, critiques, criticisms, etc. that you can say, it will help me grow as an author!
Now, without further ado, here is Vampire in the Lilies, enjoy.
"Come on!" A soft, feminine voice had called out, brown boots dancing among a field of beautiful white lilies. "Hurry!" The voice rang out yet again, almost being swept away by the cool breeze that had brushed by her. Bending down, small pallid hands picked a few of the delicate flowers and held them close to her chest, seemingly protecting them from the outside world. "Aren't they beautiful?" The girl spoke gleefully, gathering more flowers and guarding them close to her.
"You have to choose, Yuki." Another voice called back to the girl, cutting over the breeze. Yuki's amber hues widened, brown locks whipping around to the source of the voice.
"W-what?" The female questioned, but before she could even finish, two people stood before her—Kaname and Zero. Mouth hanging open for a moment, the young girl shook her head and smiled, shakily standing up. "… I uh, I don't under sta—,"
"You have to choose, Yuki." Was repeated again, but soon Yuki realized the voice she had heard before was the two speaking in unison.
"Kaname...Zero… what are you talking about?"
"Which one of us do you choose, Yuki?" The two males spoke again, inching towards the female.
Amber irises widened, dropping the flowers she held so close to her heart. The sky turned dark, grey storm clouds rolling in and obstructing the beautiful sun that was once shining proudly. The calm breeze turned into a brisk wind, harshly blowing the petals off all of the lilies that had previously covered the field; petals dancing in the wind before quickly wilting and turning into dust before her very eyes. The field was now bare, leaving the tree to stand alone, tensions running high.
"W-What?"
"You can only have one of us, Yuki; you must choose one of us to be with, forever." Those words boggled in Yuki's head, causing anxiety and fear to pool into her chest.
"S-stop," Yuki pleaded, gulping as she took a step back from the two men walking closer and closer to her. "…Stop, please…" The storm clouds parted for a moment, revealing a crimson moon, which's light, now reflected on the two vampires who continued to badger the poor girl. Their eyes had turned blood red, fangs beginning to reveal themselves as the two now continued to repeat:
"Forever, Yuki, forever." Getting dangerously close to Yuki, the two vampires has now grabbed her roughly, both sets of fangs now appearing before her neck.
"Forever…Yuki…" The vampires repeated once more as fangs now dove into both sides of her neck, causing an ear-splitting scream from the defenseless girl.
Amber irises opened in the dead of night, a loud gasp escaping through pink lips. Heavy panting became audible, a small hand grasping her neck. There was no sign of bite marks, just smooth pale skin. It must have been just a dream; giving a sigh of relief, Yuki ran a hand through her brown locks, staring down at the rest of the room. She was alone, in a room that was unknown to her. Sitting up, she looked around at the room she was now currently residing in. She was not in her normal room, she was somewhere… somewhere she did not know, yet it somehow felt familiar. Feet now touching the cold floor, Yuki shifted around the room, awkwardly searching for the door. Upon finding it, the pretty shook up girl opened the door, revealing a hallway. Looking from side to side, the brunette cautiously stepped out, beginning to walk down this narrow hall that seemed to never end. Before she knew it, Yuki realized where she was: the night class dorm. All of the night class students were out, obviously, leaving Yuki alone. But, why was she here…? Walking around, she held her hands close to her chest as she saw all of the empty rooms, causing more of an eerie feeling than expected. Yuki didn't pay attention to where she was going really, but immediately froze upon knocking into the one closed door that stood tall at the end of the hall. The young girl immediately knew whose room this belonged to, none other than her first love: Kaname Kuran.
"Kaname…senpai…" Yuki spoke softly, taking a step back to turn away. But, curiosity had peeked its way into her heart, leaving her unable to simply leave. "The night class…must be in…session…" She tried to convince herself it was okay to simply enter Kaname's room without permission or any one there—it would be too invasive! Yet, this was something Yuki could not just ignore… and hey, maybe if he was in there, she could ask Kaname why she was even here in the first place.
A pale hand shakily opened the door, only a crack to see Kaname sitting there, seemingly unaware of Yuki's presence. Kaname was talking to someone, sipping a glass of his blood supplement as he now allowed the other to speak.
"…What do you want from me, Kuran?" A masculine voice questioned, seemingly interrogating the pureblood vampire who sat before him. Yuki recognized this voice, she could tell the snarky indifference from a mile away; it was none other than her partner—Zero Kiryu. Amber orbs widening, Yuki shakily pushed the door open a little more, now seeing the two males facing each other and speaking with some form of distain.
"What do I want?" Kaname reiterated the question, setting down his glass and narrowing his eyes at the soon-to-be level E that stood before him. "…I want you to leave; I want you to never return. But of course, I know you never will," The pureblood stood up, now level to the silver-haired male. "…So, instead I want you to keep your feelings for Yuki hidden. I want… no, need for you to leave her alone. Keep your duty cordial, and leave her for me."
"I never let my feelings for her show, Kuran. But if you think I'd let you keep Yuki for your bastard vampire self, then I'd have to kill you myself." Zero hissed, gritting his teeth at the other who seemed to be ever so slightly annoyed. Kaname sighed at this, turning to face the window, watching his fellow vampires heading towards their classes.
"I am only telling you this… for Yuki's sake," He sighed, running a hand through his dark brown hair. "…Yuki… is a vampire, Kiryu." Kaname turned to face Zero, causing a shocked facial expression from the other (and Yuki).
"W-what?!" The silver haired male barked, gnashing his teeth as his temper got the better of him. "You're a fucking liar, Kuran! You just want her to your-fucking-self, you selfish prick!"
"I'm the 'selfish prick'? Please, Kiryu. I wouldn't come up with such a cruel lie. Yuki is a Kuran, and is destined to reawaken at some point or another. So, stay away from her, Zero." Kaname for once used the other's first name, narrowing his eyes at the obviously infuriated male.
"H-how… w-why…"
"It's a long story, that you don't deserve the answer to. Just stay away from her, Kiryu. For all of our sakes…" The pureblood spoke dryly, ignoring the obviously confused and angry vampire. Interrupting the awkward tension was the sound of a gasp and footsteps; causing the two to look at the now wide open door; all that was seen was the brunette running off down the winding hall.
"Yuki!" Zero called out, running out of the room, following the female out of the dormitory. Sighing, Kaname Kuran turned to look out the window, watching Zero struggle to catch up with Yuki. A single tear welled in his eyes, streaming down his right cheek as he himself now felt anxiety and regret fester inside of him.
"I'm sorry…Yuki…"
Note: Okay, first chapter done! I'm sorry this was a little sloppily done; the first chapter is always the hardest for me. This was my take on the events of Vampire Knight; of course the story will change from the basic plotline of the actual story. I hope you all enjoy, and pleeeaseeee review!
