DISCLAIMER: I do not own Vampire Knight, nor do I own Romeo & Juliet. All rights go to Matsuri Hino and William Shakespeare (haha lol)
NOTE: Well yes, this is my second fanfic. I hoped I didn't do to bad -.-' I usually write comedies and humorus pieces of work, so I really have no clue what to write in romance fics, I tried but, heh xD.
SUMMARY: Ok well this small romance piece is a mixture of Vampire Knight and Shakespeare's well known masterpiece Romeo & Juliet. The story centralizes around Yuuki (Juliet) and Zero's (Romeo) love. Unlike Romeo and Juliet whos love is forbidden due to their rivaling families, Yuuki and Zero's love is forbidden because of what they are, not who they are. Yesh well, the story obviously takes place after Yuuki has been reawakened as a vampire (probably 2 years after? I'm not sure) And as a pureblood vampire she's expected to marry Kaname (Paris? haha) as expected of her. But she doesn't want to go through with it because she's in love with the ex-human Zero :O OMG, lol well I'm tired of explaining, so I think I'll shut up now. But if you guys know the story of Romeo and Juliet, you know what will happen in this very short story :) By the way, just so you know this fanfic isn't going to involve the whole Romeo and Juliet saga, just the ending of it :) Should be good, anyway please continue reading :)
Prologue - Fear
Tragedy.
The one and only outcome that could ever be emitted from such a forbiddance. A forbiddance among species, among races, among beings… A forbiddance that had originated from the inclusive disdain and resentment that outlined the associations among the two factions of beings that inhabited the world. Aesthetic principles within the two species were verified as pungent hate and this alone remained the same for all of time. Acceptance and harmony were explicitly viewed as inevitably impossible among Vampires and Humans. Revealing their innate animalistic sides, they fought and wreaked havoc on one another. Thus numerous blood drenched battles had commenced and raged on between the two life forms since the dawn of time. Eons of the earths constant eternal rotation only saw death wrought from the obliteration that had emanated from the hatred mankind reserved for the bloodthirsty creatures who mercilessly roamed the earth.
But what precisely was this abhorrence that they felt for Vampires, or the abhorrence Vampires felt for Humans for that matter? It was hatred. Though, there was much more to the dismal feeling than that. It was hatred, but it was hatred that had been fabricated to conceal the authentic genuineness of the matter. It was fear…Such a natural yet obscure humane element that lurked within peoples feelings… And what was this fear? It was the eminent fear of the unknown. Humans and Vampires feared one another just like they were both frightened of the indefinite path that lay ahead of someone after their demise. They feared the clear differences. They feared the alien sense between them. And they feared the conclusion that would result from them banding morally together as one…
Both species were so consumed in their undeniable knowledge of this fear that the small yet powerful comparisons between the two were entirely overlooked and left in sheer darkness. Yes, they were without question a diverse group of creatures. One species depended solely on rich red blood for their survival, whilst the other one didn't. It was this prime reality that distinguished the two beings; that Vampires were bloodthirsty beasts under the guise of human features. It was that main difference that caused Vampires and Humans to disregard the core similarities that lingered within the depths of their souls. They were both capable of the same sentiments that all people exhibited. They were capable of fear. They were capable of hate. They were capable of sadness. They were capable of jealousy. They were capable of happiness...of love…And although they were both competent of all these emotions they still distanced themselves from each other. Such a true yet saddening actuality.
Hate characterized by fear was the only emotion that the two dissimilar species could ever feel for one another. To feel anything else would in no doubt result in chaos and calamity. Regardless, through a very much twisted and bitter fate two young individuals from either side, blindingly so, found each other. Despite the horrifying reality of what it meant to be together, they fell in love. An irrevocable and doomed love between Vampire and a Human, or rather…an Ex-human. Was it possible for a Vampire to love a Human, or for a Human to love a Vampire? The two young lovers had wondered, shunning the answer that they stubbornly refused to hear. They wondered...was it really tolerable to feel and share such a now viewed vacant emotion with one another? What was this passionate feeling that one could feel for another? And more importantly why was that feeling shared with one with whom it should never be shared? The two youths, impulsively fell in love, thoughtlessly ignoring what their relationship could mean to each of their brethern. Willingly so, they fell deeper in love with each passing ripple of time. The sweet madness of their selfishness and foolishness whilst being infatuated with one another, only paid the price of one thing that could ever occur from such an atrocious transgression…
Death.
AN: I know, it was short -.-' Meh well it's just a prologue... Anyway I think a major case of writers block is coming onto me...hence why the last paragraph utterly sucked.
Oh and yes this was meant to be a Oneshot but I've decided to turn it into a Twoshot.
