I don't own the Vampire Knight story lines, characters, or drawings.

But how awesome would it be if I did.

"Rima, wake up." Shiki whispered in her ear. He was carrying her away from the Moon Dormitory. As Rima opened her eyes, looking confused, a vacant expression on her face, he heard the rumble of the collapsing building.

Shiki's eyes flew open. That dream again. But, as usual next to him, for reassurance, was Rima. He nudged her side, and she shifted her hands up and played with his hair – only for a second. Then she turned in so her back was facing away from him.

Shiki traced her spine all the way up her back, her naked body shivering under his touch. "Rima, wake up." he said, before he'd realised what had escaped from his mouth.

Rima's eyes jerked open. She cried out for Shiki, and looked around for the collapsing Moon Dorm. Shiki put his arm around her, "It was just a dream, it was just a dream," he repeated to her, stroking her blond hair, that – for once – was not in bunches.

Ever since that night, nothing had been the same. It had brought them closer, but it had also made them terrified to ever leave each other's side.

"Shiki... I'm scared..." She clung to his shoulders, panting for breath, trying to overcome the sobs that were racking her body.

"You're with me, Rima. You're with me."

"Yes, I know." She smiled.

Shiki cradled Rima in his arms. The white silky dress caught Shiki's eye, hanging in the open wardrobe.

He smiled at Rima. "So, Mrs Shiki, what shall we do on our first day of marriage?"

She flashed her heavenly smile, making Shiki squirm in anticipation. "I've got an idea." She said, rolling over, closing her eyes, and kissing Shiki, whilst smiling to herself.
