A/N : Hey! Okay, so this was a spur-of-the-moment piece of writing I started last night after finished the anime. This is based in the events after where the anime left off. This has no connection with the manga (as I haven't read it, I have only watched the anime).
Anyway, hope you enjoy!
Also, thanks to the awesome Tarrah for helping out with the idea ^.^

Pairing: Yuuki X Kaname

DISCLAIMER (as some people may not be aware -_-) I do NOT own Vampire Knight or the characters. I only own the writing.

"Kaname," I muttered underneath my breath, "Where are you?"

I paced up and down the long corridor of the mansion, staring at the many ornaments and pictures decorating the hall. My heart was beating quicker than usual, not out of excitement, but out of worry. I tensed my hands into tiny balls and released them repeatedly.
A few minutes passed and I heard the door-handle click, a low-pitched creaking followed. Needless to say, someone had entered the mansion.

"Kaname?" I shouted, racing back along the corridor until I reached the top of the winding staircase. I stood gazing at the tall figure in the doorway, finding myself unable to move for a few moments before grinning down at him. "Kaname!"

"My precious, Yuuki," a gentle voice answered.

Gripping onto the thin bannister for balance I began to run down the stairs until I reached him. I threw my arms around him in a tight embrace. I breathed in his scent and sighed, resting my head on his chest. He returned the gesture, wrapping his strong arms around my body. Whenever he held me like this I always felt safe. I pray for this each day as these are the moments that I dearly cherish. I know he does too. I know his smile upon seeing me remains on his face as he tightly hugs me. I know his feelings for me are the same as mine are for him.
I stood on my toes, stretching to reach his height. He leaned down and kissed my lips tenderly. Chills raced down my spine every time we kissed and a feeling of overwhelming love fluttered in my stomach. We broke apart. He wrapped his arms around me protectively once more.

"How are you, Yuuki?" he asked, gazing into my eyes. I wondered if he knew how much of an effect his eyes alone had on me.

"I'm great now that you're home, Kaname," I replied cheerfully. His face glowed. I felt a flush spread across my cheeks as I glanced down at the ground. He let a small laugh escape his mouth.

"That makes me very happy," he whispered into my ear.

I closed my eyes. I bit my lip in an effort to steady my breathing somewhat. I smiled. I loved nothing more than to be with Kaname, to make him smile and laugh. Whenever he was happy I couldn't help but be pleased. As long as he was alright, I knew that I was going to be okay.

I heard him inhale sharply before breaking the silence. "Yuuki, can I ask you something?"

"Oh, sure," I stuttered, anxious to hear what he wanted to ask me.

"About Zero-."

I cut him off. "There's nothing to discuss there."

"Yuuki, you know it's going to happen, and when it does you're not going to be safe. Something needs to be done as early into it as possible."

I breathed in heavily. I knew what he was trying to tell me but I didn't want to hear it. I guess I was still quite hopeful that my childhood friend would never turn into a monster. "I know, Kaname, I know. I just don't want to think about it."

He rested one hand on my lower back and the other on the back of my head. "I know, my love, but you have to think about it. It's going to happen very soon."

My vision blurred as a pool of water rose in my eyes. My breathing began to soar in speed once again as I made an effort to not let Kaname see me in yet another vulnerable state. 'Please, no. Not now' I thought. A small droplet rolled down my cheek, followed by another one. I bit my lip, trying to stop the tears from falling but it was no use.

"Don't cry, Yuuki," he whispered, holding me even tighter. Even though he hadn't seen my tears fall, he could sense it. One of the things I hated was that I could never hide anything from him, he would always know.

"I'm really scared, Kaname." I revealed. There was a few seconds of silence before he spoke.

"Please, don't be," he begged, resting his chin on the top of my head, "I'm here to protect you, Yuuki. I'll guard you with my life. He will not hurt you, I promise. He would never betray you, even when he falls to Level E."

I sniffed and buried my face into his chest. The heat from his body was incredibly comforting, as were his words. "I don't want that day to come," I whispered, shaking slightly in fear.

"I know you don't but, Yuuki… you need to do it."

I nodded and patted my coat pocket. Inside was the pistol. The pistol Zero had given to me to kill him. "What if I can't do it?"

Kaname let go of me and took a step backwards. For the first time since he came home he had no words. "I'm sorry," I murmured.

"No, you don't have to be sorry. It's difficult, I know, but it's something that needs to be done."

Kaname walked away from me and sat down in a black armchair. I sighed and proceeded to make my way back upstairs. When I was halfway up I heard his patient voice. "When the time is right," he muttered. I nodded knowingly as one last tear rolled down my face.

A/N: Thank you for reading! Please let me know what you think of it so far!
