Author Note: I was talking to my Mom once over dinner at some restaurant and I was suddenly like "I feel like killing off Kaname..." and people looked at me, and Mom went "...that was a little loud, sweetie." Yuuki's point of view.

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight and I make no profit from this.

"Lord Kaname is dead." Aidou told me, his eyes mournful.

"No, no! You're lying!" I whipped my head back and forth in a 'no' motion. "Don't joke like that Aidou!"

"Yuuki..." Aidou pulled me close, but I didn't miss the pity in his eyes. "I wouldn't lie about this."

I shoved him away so hard that he fell on the floor. "Takuma! Takuma!" I screamed, running from room to room. "Takuma Ichijou!"

"Yes?" Takuma stepped out from a room; his eyes red and tired looking. "Ah, Yuuki. I see you've heard the news." He attempted to smile at me, then gave up and let the corners of his mouth droop.

"Kaname-senpai is really..." I couldn't bring myself to say the word. "He... he..."

"I'm afraid so." Takuma hugged me much in the same way that Aidou had, gentle and pitying. I didn't push him away, at least Takuma I knew I could trust. I cried hard into his shirt, and he just held me.

"Kaname..." I whimpered. Takuma was stroking my hair, and Aidou stood nearby, making a noise like a puppy would if you kicked it.

"I'm sorry, Yuuki." Takuma sighed. Aidou suddenly tackled us both, emitting a low whine. I realized suddenly that I was squished between two strange boys, but Kaname was dead, I had no one else besides Zero. I was vaguely amused by that fact, like Zero would care, he'd be happy that Kaname was dead.

"Don't tell me there's a threesome in the main hall again." Ruka spat, she also looked like she had been crying. Akatsuki Kain, who looked worried, but normal, closely followed her.

"Ruka, it's hard on all of us." Takuma sighed, holding both Aidou and me as if we were children. "You don't need to be a bitch just because you're hurting. We all are."

Ruka's eyebrows went up when Takuma said 'bitch' and she wheeled, nearly running into Kain. They were both gone in a matter of seconds.

"It'll get better." Takuma mumbled, trying to comfort both Aidou and I. Aidou wasn't crying, not tears like I was, but he was still emitting a low whine.

"I'm sorry, Takuma." I swallowed my sobs, but I couldn't move away from him, Aidou was crushing me against him. "You must be just as upset as we are."

"I'm fine." Takuma said, but it seemed too automatic. "I'm more worried about you two." He mustered up a weak smile that only lasted a few seconds.

"Lord Kaname..." Aidou whimpered. It really was sad to see him like this, every time I had seen him before he had been energetic and outgoing, just plain happy. A little obnoxious, but happy.

"Now, now, Aidou, it will all be ok." Surprisingly, it wasn't Takuma who said, that. It was me. My voice was thick with tears, and probably not believable, but Aidou looked at me as if he saw a goddess.

"Yuuki..." His voice was heartbroken; I could only imagine how horrible he must have felt. "Yuuki, don't hide it." And then Aidou was holding me, and Takuma was holding us both, and we were all crying.

But things could only get better right? Even if it was odd for me, being squished between Kaname's best friend and a vampire who relentlessly tortured me, all of us crying, things could only get better.

Wrong. They could only get more confusing.
