Yuuki sighed as she let the door shut behind her, then grabbed a change of clothes and a towel before heading off to the bathroom. It had been a long day and she wanted to get a shower. As she walked down the hall she started thinking about the incident that had happened only an hour earlier. One of the day class students snuck out to take pictures and ended up cutting her arm on a branch. The night class was starting to get restless and Aidou was about to bite the girl when she arrived. 'Good thing Zero was there to help me…' Her thought's stopped as she pushed the door open and saw Zero gasping for air, clenching the sink with one hand and his neck with the other. His shirt lay on the floor by his bare feet, exposing his chest as it heaved painfully up and down.

"Zero!" Yuuki dropped her stuff on the floor and quickly shut the door, undoing the first few buttons of her white school uniform shirt, glad she had left the black jacket in the room. Touching his shoulder she turned him towards her, bracing herself as his heavy body started leaning in. His eyes were crimson as he searched her neck, but he held back.

"No…Yuuki…" His voice was breathy as he tried to push her away but as always, she wouldn't let him and leaned forward herself, wrapping one arm around his lower back and the other around his shoulders. Tilting her head slightly she pushed his further to her neck, tempting him to the point where he could no longer resist. 'She smells so good…I can't…' His teeth sank in once again, letting her blood spill out over his mouth and down his neck, as well as hers. Closing his eyes Zero drank until her body started slipping away, out of his grasp.

Realizing what was going on, Zero's eyes widened as he held her limp body in his arms, refusing to let go by holding her tighter. He could feel her faint heartbeat through her chest as he placed it against his, cradling her head on his shoulder. Hot tears started to slide down his face as his body started to tremble, afraid of what he was, what he had done. Once again he had hurt the one he loved, the one that made life worth living, and vowed that this night would be the last.
