VAMPIRE KNIGHT

Hey there, I'm doing a fanfiction for Vampire Knight! Yeah, I am in love with this wonderful Japanese cartoon because it is amazing! I truly love it; I watch all the episodes within one week on YouTube because that was all I did as soon as I got home for one straight week. I'm sorry if I spell any names or terms wrong, I'm not very familiar with Japanese. Anyway…I hope you enjoy this, so here's the first chapter…

As Yuki walked through the forest beside Kaname she felt safe, protected and loved. She quietly looked up every so often, just to see where they were going, but she never got any clue.

"Don't worry, Yuki, we're not lost, we know where to go," Kaname had said to her. "But I don't know where we are going, Kaname-sempia," Yuki said earnestly. "Don't worry," was all Kaname had said in response.

Now, Yuki was walking silently beside him and behind the others that had accompanied them; Askutski, Aidou and Ruka. She looked on grimly as they walked on, she was tired and she wanted to know where they were going.

"Yuki," Kaname's voice brought her back to awareness with a jolt. "Are you alright?" he asked.

Yuki plastered on a fake cheered smile. "Yeah! I'm fine, Kaname-sempia!" he obviously wasn't impressed or fooled by her act. "I'm fine! Go talk with Askutski!"

Kaname looked down at her with a worried expression, she answered by breaking her stride and looking into Kaname's eyes very seriously. "I am fine, Kaname-sama, I really am," she said sternly then she turned on a very bright smile and raised her hands. "You don't need to take care of me! I'm a vampire now, remember, Onii-sama?"

He looked at her with sad eyes, he wanted to protect her, he wanted to take care of her, but he didn't want to displease her, so he would do as she requested, for his Yuki.

"I will talk with Askutski," he nodded and started to walk again, quickening his pace until he was at Askutski's side. Yuki smiled in satisfaction, but the smile was wiped off her face very quickly.

What has become of Zero? Is he alright? She wondered. Yuki wanted so much to talk to him, just talk to Zero, only if it was just once, even if she could just hear his voice. She sighed unconsciously.

"What's the matter, Yuki-sama?" asked Aidou as he gleefully joined her.

"Nothing, Aidou, everything is fine," she said, but her tone implied much less than everything being 'fine'.

"What a wonderful liar you are, Yuki-sama," he said sarcastically. "I can tell that my little Yuki-sama isn't very happy…what is it?" he teased.

"Nothing, Aidou, everything is wonderful," she purposely made her voice excited and smiled at him.

"Oh! Well…Yuki-sama…" he sighed. "You still cannot fool me as you fool Kaname-sempia," Aidou shook his head.

"I'm not sure that I fooled Kaname-sempia," Yuki disagreed. "He just…wanted to talk to Askutski," she added quietly.

"And you didn't have anything to do with that," he stated blandly.

She looked at him through the corner of her eye. "Maybe I have something to do with it, but certainly not on purpose…I didn't force him to do it, I simply suggested it." She said loftily.

"Right, of course, Yuki-sama,"

"Please…Aidou…call me Yuki, I am not used to 'sama' nor do I feel comfortable with you addressing me so,"

Aidou looked at his in astonishment and shock. "But, Yuki-sama, you are a pureblood," he protested.

"Pureblood or not, I am Yuki," she nodded in approval of her decision.

Aidou debated weather or not he should pursue the matter further and simply resigned to her choice, besides, how could he ague with a pureblood?

"Alright…Yuki," he said uncertainly.

"We are here," called Kaname's voice from the front of the entourage. Everyone stopped and Yuki could feel some tension and excitement in the air, but the excitement could only be radiating off of Aidou because of his usual personality.

"We are where?" Yuki demanded.

"Home," Kaname answered.

"Home?" Yuki asked uncertainly. Her home was Cross Academy-that was where she grew up and was raised by the Chairman, Kien Cross.

"Our home, Yuki…" he paused. "What used to be our home,"

She was dumbstruck; our home? She thought numbly, memories started to flow back to her, how she was always in a house, never aloud to go outside, in case someone was lurking about. How she'd always spent so much time with her Onii-sama, how she'd laughed and talked with him as much as she could. How they spent so much time with her mother and father, Haruka and Juuri. Juuri…

"Yuki-sama, hello, Yuki-sama," Aidou called as he waved a hand in front of her face, pulling her out of her feelings.

"I asked you to call me Yuki, Aidou, please," Yuki said quietly and he bowed lowly seeking forgiveness.

"As you wish…Yuki-sa…Yuki," Aidou amended.

She nodded her head to him. "Thank you, Aidou," then she walked to Kaname who was waiting patiently for her. "Home…where we used to live…with mother and father?" she whispered feverishly.

Kaname looked at her with worried eyes but he did nod in response to her question. "Yes, Yuki,"

She nodded and put on a brave face. "Well…then let's go…" her tone didn't last through her whole statement, and just as Kaname was about to say something, Aidou ran up beside Yuki and took her hand eagerly. "Our Yuki is a loin!" he exclaimed grinning down at her.

Ruka yawned and rolled her eyes. "Aidou, use your head for once, we are higher than lions,"

Aidou blushed furiously and glared at the ground. Yuki had to hold back her true laughter; Aidou seemed to have that influence on her. She touched his cheek lightly and said, "That was very kind of you, Aidou,"

Now, he blushed even deeper at Yuki's sign of affection to him. "Thank you, Yuki-sam- Yuki,"

She smiled at him and Kaname cleared his throat. "Yuki," she turned to him with nervous eyes. "Come on," he said gently and Yuki reluctantly released the warmth and comfort of Aidou's hand.

They walked in silence towards some place unknown and yet so familiar. Suddenly as the trees started to thin out, Yuki got the feeling that there was someone else nearby. She stopped walking and narrowed her eyes as she scoped the forest. She caught someone's sent and it seemed familiar. Someone I know! She thought excitedly, she wanted to see anyone from her human past; Kaname noticed her pause and waved her forward.

She didn't move and Aidou bent to whisper in her ear. "Don't worry, little Yuki, I'll sacrifice my life for you, there is no need to be afraid,"

This didn't assure her in the slightest bit, so she grabbed Aidou's hand as he'd started to walk again. He was very surprised and looked down at her in shock, purebloods showing weakness was very uncommon.

"Stay with me, Aidou-sempia," she whispered and he nodded and messed up her hair in a very friendly way. She let Aidou lead her into a large clearing that opened to a miraculous house. The memories hit Yuki full force, the memories of her family, her mother especially and also Kaname, of course. The last memory of when the vampire came to her when she was alone in the snow.

"Are you lost, little girl? May I…suck your blood?" he said and pounced on her.

"N-no!" Yuki screamed helplessly. Then suddenly the vampire was gone and another had stabbed it with its own hand.

"You're a disgrace to all vampires," the good vampire said. Then he bent to offer Yuki his hand. "Are you alright?" he asked.

"Yuki?"

She snapped her head up and looked Aidou in the eyes. "Oh, what?"

He laughed. "Are you tired, Yuki-chan?"

She nodded feebly. "Just a bit…" then Yuki looked up at the house and noticed that there were two figures standing in front of it. She narrowed her eyes and let them pin-point the exact place…it was Shiki and Rima!

Yuki set Aidou's hand free and started to run towards them.

"Yuki-sama!" Shiki laughed and held his arms out to her; Yuki jumped into them and hugged him fiercely. "You are well, Yuki-sama?" she said into her hair.

Yuki nodded excitedly and laughed as Shiki shifted his hold so he was spinning her around in the air. "Yeah, I'm fine; it's so good to see you!"

He set Yuki on the ground and she practically tackled Rima to the ground, knocking the umbrella out of her hands.

"Oh, Yuki-sama, you are strong," Rima chuckled as she hugged Yuki back gently and stroked her hair like a loving sister. Yuki pulled back, took two steps back and looked at her friends sternly.

"Where have you been?" she demanded.

"Looking for me," a very familiar voice answered from behind her. Yuki immediately spun around to make sure it was real and she saw Ichijou walking standing a few feet behind her.

"Ichijou-senpai!" she yelled and was engulfed in a warm hug from him.

"Yuki-sama, it's good to see you," he replied.

"You too!" she said then pulled back. "How did you find us?" she asked confused.

"It wasn't that hard, I knew that the first place Kaname-senpai would go if he needed to leave Cross Academy for any lengthy amount of time." He smiled to someone behind Yuki and she turned and saw the rest of the group catching up, but they were all still walking and the only one who seemed as excited as Yuki was Aidou.

"Kaname-senpai! Did you know?" Yuki asked as she ran to her brother.

Kaname smiled, pleased to see that Yuki was happy now. "No, I wasn't positive, but I am not surprised," he smiled down at her and wrapped an arm around her waist. "Let's go inside and share stories, shall we?"

Yuki unintentionally tensed at this and clenched her fists, Kaname had walked forward and was conversing with Ichijou, so he hadn't noticed the little detail of Yuki's hands, but fortunately, Aidou did.

He came up behind her and put an arm reassuringly around her shoulders. "Don't worry, Yuki, I've got your back,"

"I'm glad," she whispered and clung to him as Kaname opened the door to the house and ushered everyone forward. Yuki only paused a second before letting Aidou lead her into the house.

Yuki took in the sights of her old house like she was seeing it for the first and last time. That was the room I'd found Kaname crying in that night, and that's the room where we always sat together, those stairs must lead up to the bedrooms… Yuki thought. There were layers of dust everywhere, the others thought it was disgusting, but Yuki, not caring in the slightest, ran her hands over the surfaces of the counters and tables and shelves, longing for the life that she'd never had. There was like some type of pull, drawing Yuki down a hallway to the side, the corridor was dark, but with her eyesight, Yuki could see perfectly. She actually preferred this darkness than the light that she had liked when she was still human. In this hallway, she found one picture that caught her eye, a picture that meant so much…it was of the four of them. The Kuran Family: Haruka, Juuri, Kaname and Yuki.

I look so happy, she thought to herself, and so did Kaname. Kaname had his arm around his younger sister in the picture. Yuki had been wearing a white dress that suited her very well and Kaname had been wearing a white dress shirt that hadn't been dressed properly and their parents…their parents. Yuki sighed in a saddening despair as her eyes filled with tears at the sight. Both her parents looked so happy, Juuri wearing a wonderful white dress that looked similar to Yuki's but Juuri's was much more elegant and sleek, fit for an important pureblood like herself; her father, Haruka, was wearing a sleek white dress shirt and white pants, but unlike Kaname, his clothes were on properly and he looked very regal and respected, but also at the same time, both their parents looked so happy, like they were living in complete bliss.

One of Yuki's tears spilled over and she sniffed quietly.

"It's alright, Yuki-chan, don't worry, it's alright," a soft voice came from behind her and she turned herself into Aidou's chest. He wrapped his arms around her so comfortingly and protectively. "Shh, Yuki-sama, it's okay, I'm here, don't you want me here, Yuki-sama?" he asked jokingly, but Yuki could hear the curiosity burning behind his teasing remark.

"I am grateful you are here, Aidou Hanabusa-senpai," she sobbed quietly into his coat. She let him support all her weight and he didn't seem to mind, she let her tears run, by her will or against it, because even if she'd tried, she couldn't have stopped them from escaping. Something like that could not be kept back.

"Yuki-chan, we should go back, Kaname-senpai might be worried," Aidou said quietly and Yuki nodded into his coat, still not un-burying her face from his chest. "You're parents were great people, anyone who raised Kaname and you the way they did had to be…and anybody willing to sacrifice themselves for their children would bound to be an incredible person," his voice was thoughtful and at his comment, she looked up at him and he seemed embarrassed. "Sorry," he shrugged.

"Do not apologize, Aidou, I thank you," she wiped some of her tears away, but it was no use. Aidou wiped some away too, but it didn't work either so they gave up and walked slowly back to where the rest of the vampires were.

Kaname's eyes widened when he saw Yuki and Aidou enter the room unhurriedly, as did the other members of the Night Class.

Kaname rushed over and knelt in front of Yuki. "What's upset you so?" he demanded as he gently but quickly tried to dry her face.

"I saw a picture of us," she said quietly and hung her head, ashamed because she was so weak. I will be stronger from now on, I will protect everyone. She promised herself. Kaname stood and Yuki suddenly jerked her head up at the very loud sound of someone being slapped.

Kaname had slapped Aidou.

"And you did not tell me that she was crying or where she was," his voice was dangerous and his eyes were tinged with red; but before Aidou or Kaname could say anything else, Yuki interrupted.

"Kuran Kaname-senpai!" she cried and stood protectively in front of Aidou. "That was not right and not fair!"

Kaname's eyes softened when he looked down at Yuki, they lost their red colouring.

"You should not have done that, Kaname-senpai, I wish you to apologize," she worded it as a request, but her tone of voice made it a command.

Kaname looked surprised but did as he was told. "I am sorry, Aidou, I should not have hit you, it was inappropriate," he said sincerely.

Aidou and all the other vampires were so shocked that Yuki could have that kind of effect on Kaname and it took Aidou a few moments to stutter a response. "I-it is f-fine, Kaname-sama," he bowed and Yuki was pleased that Kaname had listened to her.

Kaname looked back down at Yuki and she nodded and sniffed, she didn't say one word, she just walked silently to a couch, very aware that Aidou was following closely behind her. She settled down and with Aidou beside her and she let her head rest on her chest. It was soundless as Yuki's eyes drifted shut and the last thing she heard before she fell asleep was Aidou's voice whispering, "You will be great, Kuran Yuki-sama."

So did you like it? Please review because I would really like it--hey don't worry all you Zero fans because I would never leave him out of my story because I really also love Zero as well as Kaname. Please tell me if I did anything wrong, like names, spelling of names and such things like that. Please review. Flames are totally fine, if you didn't like my story, I'm challenging you to burn it to the ground.
