Author's Note: Hello. I'm writing one-shots to avoid continuing my stories. But I swear, I will finish them! Anyway, this is from Zero's point of view. It's about how he feels after Yuki leaves. I know I do a lot of these, but I just love the conflicting emotions and inner battles of this part in the storyline. Call me a sadist, though I'm really not. I don't own Vampire Knight or any of it's characters. Please review! And please check out my other fics:) I love you all! Mwah!

The world still spins. The grass is still green. The sky is blue, birds fly, and fish swim. The Day Class girls still laugh and chatter. When I drag myself out of bed, I realize my body still works and feels the same. It's as if nothing has changed.

But how can this be? I thought everything stopped when Yuki left.

I glance in the mirror as I walk by it. For the most part, I look the same too. Silver hair, lavender eyes, pale skin... I look pretty good, even. And that really hurts my heart. I should look like I feel.

Everything inside of me died when Yuki left. I am just an animated corpse walking around. I don't feel anything real anymore. Except about her.

The regret of taking the time we spent together for granted. The self loathing for not coming between her and Kaname. The hate for both of us, Yuki and I. The misery leaking from the Yuki- shaped hole in my heart. And most potently, the undying, unyielding, heart wrenching love I still feel for her. That I'll never stop feeling, even if she is a Pureblood.

It's been so long since I admitted to myself that I loved her. Since that day, I've wondered if maybe she loved me too. Even though it makes no sense. She's so beautiful, and perfect and loving. She's caring and kind and gentle. She is-

No. She was.

How has she been forgotten so easily? A few charms and spells, and she's gone? The memory Yuki left behind is so much stronger than that!

The world should stop spinning. The moon, sun, and stars dimmed in her presence. In her absence, it's like they completely fade away. Life should end, everyone should die because YUKI IS GONE! AND THAT HURTS ME!

The pain I feel shouldn't be so pointless.

Every word, every picture reminds me of her. I even dream about her. I dream of how she was before. I dream of her being in love with me. I even dream of her the way she is now, coming back and saying she loves me. That's all she'd ever need to say, if only she'd say it. But then my dreams turn and change. She turns into a monster, red eyed and blood thirsty. One I've seen in my own mirror. What hurts most is that the monster I fought so hard to keep Yuki safe has corrupted her.

Will I ever wake up from this nightmare?

It's like she's dead. Everyone around me doesn't see it. But I'm stuck here in my own private hell. My life is a funeral. I look into the casket and see her corpse all around. And as for me? I'm in morning.
