Blood sucker. Life stealer. Sin doer. Dark lover. Creep master. So many things I could call him. Pretty boy. Bad soul. Foul temper. Mister Stubborn. So many things, but he is nothing of this. He is only himself.

All I want him to be.

I don't understand why he always pulls away. Holds me close then releases and walks off. I never know if I should run after him. Sometimes, it makes me wonder if I know him at all. If this "transformation" is taking away more then that little human boy that walked into my life so long ago. I want to run, catch his hand. His cold hand in my warm one... to bring him back.

Stop time.

I wish I could. Let it be just him and me. He expects me to be fine with all this, to see his pain and stand and watch. How can I? He is my best friend. My love... yet me expects me to hurt him, to make sure he never hurts me. Or anyone else.

"One day, I'll be just like the one that attacked you, and nothing can stop that. Nothing will change that. You will hate me"

The words ringing in my hearts.

"I could never hate you"

He takes a step past me and suddenly comes to a stop.

"Yuuki?"

"Yes, Zero?"

He continues to stare at the ground in front of him. "When I first arrived here you always told me about how much you hated those monsters, and I hated you for your love for Kuran. I was confused. You always said how the monsters took your childhood and how much you wanted those memories back. Your mother, your father. You told me you would be there for me, and here you are. By my side, through all of this, but I am not Kuran. I won't become a gentle vampire, I will become crazy for the blood lust, just like I am crazy for your blood Yuuki. I will become one of the monsters you hate. I can't be Kuran"

He shakes his head violent and walks off. He doesn't hear me as I whisper the words he wants to hear. That he needs to hear.

"I don't want you to be..."
