Short drabble, Yuuki-centric. Mentions of KanamexHooded Woman, and Zeki if you squint.
SPOILERS FOR CHAPTER 83. YOU HAVE BEEN WARNED!
At the very moment Kaname disappeared, Yuuki finally understood what it was he was doing; what he was after.
"What is 'her will'?" she had asked, but she knew the answer. Kaname was going to kill every last pureblood that roamed this earth, whether she fought back or not. Her attempts – were she alone – would be futile and she'd inevitably fail, but…
She wasn't alone.
Zero might have put up the front that he despised every last breath she took, but she could now see what she would forever be. He was no longer her enemy, but her comrade once again. They'd fight together, against Kaname, and stop him whatever it took.
She knew, however, that he wanted the pleasure of killing him.
And, she wasn't going to argue with him.

Yuuki watched Kain kiss Ruka, and for some reason, a newfound confidence awoke in her. She wouldn't ever see Kaname as she once had; as her dark-haired older brother had told the occupied Ruka: "You've betrayed me… we are over."
But… you've betrayed me, Kaname. So…
Her heart twisted at the sudden truth she'd been hiding away from. Never mind that she had known Kaname for a long time, that he had protected her and saved her and loved her; he was her older brother and her fiancé, and he had betrayed her.
A newly-lit fire burst in Yuuki's large eyes as the wind blew her hair back.
…so, we are also over.

The two Kuran siblings stared into the other's eyes; Kaname's eyes were impassive now, while Yuuki's glowed with confusion and anger, now knowing the truth, everything. All she would even be… was not what he truly wanted. She was a replacement; Kaname was still in love with the Hooded Woman. All he was doing was for her.
Zero stood beside her, questioning her. She says she won't be useless anymore. He complies. Her Artemis Rod is raised, and with a "Shnnk!" her hair is short once again. His heart soars, but he remains emotionless on the outside. She can hear his heart warm, and she smiles if only for a second. Then, she meets Kaname's eyes again, and Zero does too.
While the battle – the one that had taken place one year ago, when Zero and Yuuki fought Rido Kuran, Yuuki's uncle – had long since been won, the war was far from over.
All Yuuki had to do was catch Kaname again.
And catch you, I will.
A short drabble I'd come up with after reading Chapter 83 Bonds. It was such an amazing chapter. Go read it if you haven't. (I'd hope that you read it before reading this. You can find it at {mangahere .com} -without the space- and look for Vampire Knight, chapter 83. It's the only chapter that made me fangirl since the earlier chapters.
While this was written on a whim, I am a little proud of it. I hope to dabble in writing drabbles, because they're fun and different.
Review and offer concrit if you feel so inclined!
