Truth Springs

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers."-M. Scott Peck

To be a pure blood is to live a life of loneliness. For our numbers are few and a pure blood should only be with another pure blood. I had a fiancee once.

Any other love is condemned from the very beginning.

I would not have expected it. I should have known better. Yet when it comes to matters of the heart, it is something I found that not even I could control.

A human. A mortal man.

I turned him.

He loved me....and I him.

He was only supposed to be my food. Others, even of my own kind, feared me.

He did not.

I loved him. He was mine. He was my reason.

The hunters take down those who will fall to Level E. He was not that way yet. I would keep him from becoming that way. He was mine. Then the day came when the hunter Kiryu family murdered him.

So I took my revenge.

I met the two little twins, one so much stronger then the other. That one hurried the other one away, but he came back to me. "We meet again." I had said.

"Why are you crying in a place like this?" he asked as the innocent he was, "Did something sad happen to you?"

That was the beginning and the end.

Standing in a room filled with their blood, the ones who had taken him from me... "Run, Ichiru!" the strong one yelled. Later when I held him in my arms, his eyes had gleamed with hatred, for me....

So like my own.

And I loved him for it.

Time passed. I waited.

The weak one stayed by me. Loyal. And even foolish. The strong one became even more powerful through his hatred and growth.

The time came.

Yet it did not go as planned and ended with another ending me. One I should taken more into account. It had been because I had used one he loved to harm the strong one. He knew though, where this dark end would lead him. Yet he would destroy it. The source of all my suffering.

Then I was there. Alone.

All over again.

The weak one came."Shizuka-Sama?" he called out.

"I don't seem to die to easily."

Then I was in his arms as he held me. So soon...

"Shizuka-Sama!" He cradled me head...such care...."I'll give you my blood...Please don't die!"

I gave an amused noise. Then I admitted it. "I can't...you're the only one I can't turn into a vampire." Peculiar...that it should be now....I chuckled.

Too late....dark....

"Moreover, it's too late."

What's the matter...? He held me so tightly...there were tears in his eyes...I touched one...and knew that they were for me...

"You're crying like a child," I said with bitter amusement, "Did you really love me...?"

He did not have to say it for I had always known... "If you're afraid of being alone, do you want me to be with you..?"

A tree...cherry blossoms...the weak one young again...

You are the first human I have become attached to...Have you also lost your reason for living..?

So different, yet so alike...

The I could feel the last of my life being drained from me. He would not be alone now.

It was always condemned, mortal and immortal.

Nothing ever comes of it but death and destruction.

I thought of the one before...his smile...another...?

Regret..?

...never....

They called me the Madly Blooming Princess....Perhaps they were right...

For who would die like this, thinking of something that never could have been...with no regret?

A/N:This is my first VK fanfiction and I really wanted one for Shizuka. There are just not enough of her on here so I decided to write one! Thanks for reading and reviews would be greatly appreciated.
