I Night:

Yuuki couldn't break her eyes away from his. Those honest, straight forward lavender eyes that exposed softness at the sight of her never shook or wavered. Around her the sound of waves crashed, seagulls overhead squalling and breaking into fits of hysteria, the sun scorched its full heat down on her pale skin as it heated the sand beneath her feet. But even despite that, between the two of them, everything was calm. He stood there messy glossy silver hair falling into his eyes. Long white lashes almost invisible to the eye and she shifted uneasily once her toes seeped and dug deeper into the sand. For a moment neither of them said anything. Yuuki couldn't muster the strength to ask the boy any questions. What his name was and why he felt so familiar.

Why was she even dreaming about him. Even stranger, why was he wearing a long white trench coat at the beach. The light trench coat covered his body from underneath his jaw to the point above his ankles where his black laced up boots scaled to meet it.

"Yuuki," He called her name out carelessly, his head tilted slightly at the side with a small smile scribbled across his face.

Yuuki throat tightened.

At her shocked expression, the boy eyes castes to the side. He then pushed them up again, those bright lilac eyes blazing in intense worry. "You still don't remember?"

"Remember what," Yuuki screamed. "What am I supposed to remember? Who are you and what do you want?"

As she screamed, the great sapphire waves rose higher and higher unit it was the size of a bold skyscraper but as they grew they did not fall, as if stacking up until it reached its peak, destroying all in that single chaotic moment of descent. The burning sun over her started to dim on her skin and within seconds began to be covered by ominous dark clouds grumbling in impatience, ready to unleash its viciousness. The wind picked up tossing her hair in every direction she could think, getting in her eyes; she tried pushing her loose brown strands back. The boy trench coat was having the same effect like her hair. His trench coat was flapping violently against his covered legs and his hair being shoved back and forth in front of his eyes. Thunder made its arrival accompanying the spark of lightning flashing across the sky. Yuuki snapped her head above her, watching the vivid crimson spark strike across the clouds. At that moment, a whisper, but quite like a quite chant, whistled in her ear with the wind growing in strength.

"Her heart is built on madness and sand

For the truth of their love is something she'll never understand.

Because They swear on every star to try to keep the lovers apart.

Not knowing his love made a permanent mark.

For when she does close her eyes to sleep, dreams of him are bound to embark."

"I don't get it…" She swallowed feeling her hands grow sweaty, her eyes stung at each corner and particles of small sand whipped at her face.

"Yuuki," He breathed. He extended out his pale fingers in front of him as if waiting for her to grab his hand. "Don't let them do this to us."

"Who are they?" Yuuki shouted. "What are you talking about?"

"For the truth of their love is something she'll never understand."

Cold rain crashed down on them both, shooting from what it look like black heavens in the sky, and landing on their skin like bullets from a thousand miles. Yuuki teeth chattered from the cold but he still stood there calmly like nothing around him had any effect.

His words started to echo in her ears, don't let them do this to us.

But she had no idea who he was referring to and as her questions swirled in her head, the boy raised his other hand. Now both palms awaited her fingers to intertwine in.

"I won't let them."

"Zero," She choked.

Just at that moment...

The waves crashed down.

The water swept Yuuki off her feet and claimed her. Her body being scratched against the rugged sand. Harsh cold hugging her entire body in a blanket of complete blue, she swallowed and tried to inhale only for more gulps of water to push down her throat. Her lungs at the point of exploding from the burning sensation of lack of oxygen, she clawed at her throat. It felt like weights were attached to her ankles and wrist. Pain... exploding pain that burned her skin, throat and lungs. She choked on the water, air bubbles bursting out of her nose and mouth. Her mouth wide open trying to scream but left untranslated by her loud desperate gurgles.

"Dreams of him are bound to embark."

Yuuki's felt her body grow stiff; She stopped trying. And for her last second, She closed her eyes. Darkness started to cloud her mind as the pain eased... numbness appeared.

"I'm a monster, Yuuki."

"She'll lead him out of the dark."

"I don't care, Zero. I'm not losing you."

"You can't stop them, they're going to keep us apart no matter what."

"I believe in us."

As She is his only sunlight, his heart's only spark."


X~I.I~X

Zero shot up in his bed, his breath rugged and harsh. He extended his shaking palms as trickles of sweat rolled down his skin. The moonlight had slipped through the bars in his window cell and rested in the prison cell where Zero resided. He tried focusing, but his vision faded back in and out.

A girl with long brown hair, bright, beautiful, deep dark eyes and hair. And she had a scent of wet roses that was unlike anything he had ever smelled.

At the tip of his tongue, he felt her name presence. But he couldn't stutter it out no matter how hard he tried. A gentle Princess that ignited his heart, her kind smile. But...his heart sank.

A incomprehensible lost dwelled in his heart. Zero shifted in his bed trying to make sense of things. He glanced around his prison cell. He spent most of his life in. This cold cell was his home. Where his world was small and not beyond these four walls imprisoning him.

But for what reason, Zero did not know.

Zero ran his hand through his hair once, surprised that he felt it stuck to his skull by the sweat which also soaked his black and white striped uniform.

"Zero..."

Zero flickered his eyes over to his prison mate and twin Ichiru, who rose himself up from his bed located across the room. "Are you okay?" He drawled from sleep. Ichiru silver hair was tossed and sat twisted on top of his head. As identical twins, Ichiru did look like Zero's carbon copy, but in a way, Ichiru was nothing like Zero. Ichiru's earnest aura was much different from Zero's more brutally honest one. But Ichiru always disagreed, saying the he himself had the weaker and crueler aura where's Zero was kind.

Ichiru had a thing for turning things around on himself despite how untrue it really was.

Zero let loose a silent sigh. "Nothing."

"You're lying."

"I'm not," He retorted.

Ichiru bright lilac eyes was glowing in the moonlight. "I know you better than anyone, Zero."

"You're the only one who knows me." Zero scolded. "Go back to sleep, Ichiru."

"Zero-."

"Goodnight."

"Fine," Ichiru mumbled lazily. Zero waited until his twin slid back under his sheets and didn't move until he heard the almost silent sound of his breathing.

Zero shifted and move his eye back to the moon.

One day he was going to escape with Ichiru. They were going to see what this life was about together. They'll finally be free of the shackles that bound them in the prison cell.

Or at-least, He'll give up his life so Ichiru could escape. If he makes it out alive, Zero could live his life through him and as one they'll be free. He rested his head against his pale knuckles.

His recent dream felt so vivid but he couldn't remember half of it. It felt like a huge mental block stopped Zero from recalling.

"Maybe i'm not getting enough rest, or maybe too much rest," He noted tearing his eyes from the sky. Zero followed his brother and slid under his sheets as well without word.

Slowly he descended himself back into his dream.


Yuuki rolled head around, cracking every bone in her neck.

"Had a bad dream last night," Yori asked simply.

"I don't know. Remember how i tell you i never remember my dreams?"

"Most people don't."

Yuuki sighed, and start rolling her stiff arm back. Yori saw her friend discomforted and smiled softly as she rubbed Yuuki's leg. The two sat together on the same rainbow place mat Yori had since she was nine. Yori parent's weren't too thrilled about buying things that can still stay in use. So no matter how tattered the edges were, Yori parents were intent on not giving her a new one. Which was fine by Yori, she never cared about materialistic things.

The sound of the waves kicked up and screeches of people of all ages were let loose. Yuuki felt a pain in her stomach, quietly scooting back under the large umbrella that kept vulnerable body hidden from the sun.

"Are you okay? I mean, you didn't have to come out to the beach when its bright and sunny outside."

"No, i'm fine," Yuuki giggled waving her best friend off. "I like getting out the mansion every once in awhile. You know how my parents and Kaname are."

"They're worried about you doing something stupid."

"E-E-Eh?"

Yori glanced at Yuuki, and together the two busted into laughter and it melted in unison with the other beach goers. Ending her light laugh, Yori grinning leaned over to Yuuki, playfully poking her best friend in her stomach. "So Yuuki your parents are going to let you go out to the prison?"

"They told me no."

"Did you tell them its for a school trip. We're learning about Criminal Vampires, i guess. Help the Humans learn to distinguish bad vampires from good vampires and scare the vampires straight."

"I'm trying to push Cross into convincing them. Because all three of them said no." Yuuki grumbled. Yori leaned back, shrugging her shoulders,"Maybe they don't want their precious only daughter and wife- to -be out around such dangerous people."

Slowly Yuuki scooped a handful of sand, carefully watching it slip from between her small fingers. Yuuki could feel the brush of the cool breeze of the ocean coming in as waves. She lifted her head and watched the calm waves lap against each other, glittering like diamonds underneath the sun. She shifted uncomfortably almost wishing she could go out. Imagining herself running in the sun, arms spread wide as she jumped into the deep blue. Although, she could do so now but as a vampire after she was done the result wouldn't go so well with her body. Vampires could go into the sun but it leaves them tired in the end of things.

"They're so overly protective." Yuuki mumbled keeping her eyes attached to the waves roaring one after another.

"They only care for you."

"I know. But how is it all the other pure-blood daughters can go out free and do what they want. Sara's parents let her venture out all over the town."

"Let's not talk about Sara. She's a bitch."

"I'm not denying that Yori, but her parents let her go."

"Her parents only do that because she's just as annoying and full of it around us as she is to them."

A smile cracked through Yuuki's face. And it only took seconds for her best friend to being flicking particles of sand at her. Yori had a large smile on her face, as her hazel eyes were alive, she giggled, "Lighten up."

"You're right."

"You're just missing on a prison trip. Which isn't much. I wish i can not go, but my parents are making me. Say it's an important lesson Cross teaches."

"I feel excluded regardless, Yori," Yukii exhaled. She went over to the side of the mat to flick a curious ant away. "We better eat those sandwiches,like now, ;the ants are gaining on us."

"The ants aren't the only ones gaining on us." Yori lifted her hand and pointed to the brown worn down dock leading to the open beach. Kaname who had a black umbrella over his head, stood there scanning the over view. He was draped in black outerwear as well. A long black coat, and black gloves covering his hands from the sun. His expression was that of simplicity. He was merely trying to find his fiancee, nothing else mattered besides her. But the humans passing him gave him a strange look. He stuck out like a sore thumb at the beach, making it entirely obvious he wasn't there to have fun.

"Again," Yuuki swore balling her hands up.

"Remember, he cares." Yori whistled.

Yuuki clicked her tongue before adjusting Yori's rainbow umbrella so it covered the girls completely from the dock side but it didn't leave room for Yuuki to avoid the sunlight. She scooted closer to Sayori.

"He's kind, Yori, and i'm grateful for him but this is just annoying. I'm out with you. It's like they're hoping i stay away from something."

"You think you're parents are lying to you...?"

"No...maybe not... i don't know," Yuuki frowned. "I don't know."

"Yuuki."

Yuuki jumped then swore in her head. Kaname leaned with his black umbrella squatting near Yuuki. His dark brown hair and brown eyes were warm.

"You didn't tell anyone you were going to the beach..."

"I have to tell you guys everything?" She snapped. Yuuki stared at Kaname whom warm eyes a second ago fell and became clouded in hurt. Guilt kicked her harshly in the stomach.

"Kaname..."

"Sorry."

"Yori i'll see you later." Yuuki started gathering her stuff, packing her sun screen and towel into her beach bag. "I'll catch you at school tomorrow."

"Of course."

Yuuki rose from the mat, bag around her arm. Kaname followed suit standing next to her and leaned the black umbrella over her. She wasn't angry at Kaname, but guilty she snapped at him like that. It wasn't his fault, like Yori said, he was only trying to protect her. But from what? In this town barely anything happens. Humans and High Nobles Vampire lived in peace. For all pure-bloods changing someone into a vampire was a law punishable by death, it kept the pure bloods in order and calmed the worries of humans from being changed.

"Are you hungry, Yuuki?"

"A little."

"Great, mother has just finished cooking your favorite," He smiled, but not directly at her, his eyes seemed to gaze out in front of them. Was he looking that forward to eating?

"You're really greedy, Kaname."

"You should talk."

Yuuki let out a hitched laugh.

"Come on, now. Let's hurry home."

Where its safe and sound.
