"You're the only person who has given me warmth...I've been afraid that you would hate me if you knew the truth…"----Kaname Kuran

Everything he did, every single one of his schemes, his plans, his manipulations, was for her.
All for her.
She was what he lived for; she was his princess, his sun, and life-giving as the potent blood flowing in his veins. That same crimson blood linked them to her tragic past and tumultuous present.
His nails dug into his palms painfully as the memory of her sweet blood---the taste of longing and want and need---blurred his mind momentarily. Never again though, he vowed. That was the one time he would drink from her without permission, unlike the arrogant silver-haired hunter who had dared to---!
His eyes flashed from a clear burgundy to a murderous red.
He sighed, slightly regretful that there was one pawn he couldn't depose of carelessly once he had played his part. But he couldn't do anything that would hurt her, anything that would bring pain.
He didn't want to be the one to vanish the sparkle in her brown eyes, the warm smile she gave him every time she saw him. He would patiently weave a web of lies to keep her in a garden of illusions and dreams if that was what it took to keep her happy.
Selfishness.
How can she love you, a voice whispered in his mind, if all you are is a murderous, bloodthirsty vampire? You are not the gentle and kind person she once thought you were after all.
His hand brushed back his dark mahogany bangs from his eyes as his mouth twisted into a ghost of a smile---bitter and resigned.
Checkmate.
Like the King, she had to be protected at all costs. Even if the Queen lost its soul in the process.
For her, he could kill. If it was for Yuki's sake, he could do anything.
For her, he would let the world burn, let it crumble into black ashes and dust, as long as he could see her smile, hear her laugh, run his fingers through her long brown hair that was lighter than his own.
She was his, and he was hers.
Always.
