Title : Words ain't just enough
Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight and I'm just using the characters to
write this fanfic of mine.
Setting : Yuuki and Kaname both are pure blood vampires and they're not siblings.
Summary : For me, to feel the warm of your lips means more than any love songs in this world.
Yuuki scratched her head and stared seriously at the piece of paper in front of her. Her right hand was flipping her ballpoint anxiously. Finally, she came up with an idea and smiled as she wrote the words.
"What are you doing, Yuuki?" Kaien asked as he tried to take a peek on what his little princess was doing.
"N-Nothing, I was just doing my homework." Yuuki was about to hide her letter but it seemed like the hunter was quicker than her.
Kaien fixed his glasses as he read what was written in the paper in front of him out loud, "Dear Kaname. Would you lend me a compass because, I always get lost in your eyes?. Love, your Yuuki."
"Stop it!" Yuuki roared as she immediately took her letter back. She could feel her cheek roasted by the flame beneath. Kaien stared at his foster daughter before covering his mouth immediately. Yuuki could see his shoulders shuddered heavily at his attempt to laugh.
"You may laugh as loud as you can but not in front of me." She pushed the elder man out of her room and closed the door behind her roughly. As soon as the door was closed she heard an annoying laughter followed by floor tapping noise. She had no doubt that Kaien must be laughing like a mad man as he pounded the floor with his hands. Yuki re-read her own letter before harshly crumpled it up then performed a fabulous free throw to the nearest trash can.
"Cheesy!" She snapped at herself before sitting down on the floor as she held both of her legs in front of her chest.
It had been a week after Kaname revealed his memory of the woman he loved in the past and committed murder at Aido's residence. He had promised that he would read her bedtime stories as many as she wanted him to when he came back and she kept her promise by waiting patiently at her foster father's house where he would pick her up. She decided not to ask him the reason why he killed Aido's father because she believed that he would tell her when the time came just like when he showed her his bitter past through his blood. She stared at a crimson red muffler neatly wrapped in a transparent package with a red ribbon on the top.
Today was the so-called 'Single awareness Day'. She did her best in making a hand made muffler and at last it was completely done yesterday. However, she could not sense the presence of her beloved Kaname. Her vision was blurred by tears when she recalled her sleepless nights during the process. Her first white muffler ended up being a decoration item of bird's nest since she forgot to close the window when she went to bed that day. Her second one was a black muffler and she was in the middle of finishing it when she ran out of the knitting wool. She had no choice than to gave up when the shop staff told her that it took more than a week for her order to arrive. The red one was the only color of knitting wool left in the shop and she was lucky that it was long enough to make a muffler.
Unfortunately, the big problem was she hadn't found the right words to write in the gift card. Yuuki cursed herself for not being capable of doing things properly. She bit her lip hard to prevent herself from crying but it seemed like she had failed as tears slipped out and fell onto her cheek.
"Yuuki, Kaname has come to pick you up." Kaien's voice brought her back to reality.
Yuuki immediately shed her tears and grabbed a huge paper bag in white on her study desk then put the neatly wrapped muffler inside it before she opened the door.
"He's waiting for you at the living room. I'll be back with some snacks for the two of you." Kaien said. Yuuki nodded to his words and proceeded her way downstairs.
"Kaname." She called his name happily when her eyes caught the sight of a tall young man with straight raven hair.
"I'm sorry to keep you waiting." He smiled at her.
"No problem." She replied though deep inside her heart she ought to admit how torturing it was for her to wait for him especially when she didn't know when exactly he would come back.
"Well, you shouldn't have come home this early. I miss my daughter so much that a week isn't enough to fix my broken heart." Kaien replied as he made a fake sobbing sound while he walked downstairs with a small bag full of various cookies.
"Thank you for taking care of her, headmaster." Kaname bowed politely.
"Your welcome. Make sure you finish them all on your way back." Kaien placed the small bag inside the white paper back Yuuki was holding.
"Hey!, don't put it there." She protested as she pulled the small bag out.
"Anyway, Yuuki. Don't forget to finish your homework then be prepared for the final…" Kaien had not even finished his words when Yuuki hastily closed the entrance door.
"I wanna go home as soon as possible, oniisama." She said in a sultry voice as she entwined her arm with his.
"What an impatient girl." He chuckled before they both disappeared in an instant.
Yuuki helped Kaname to take off his black coat and hung it on the cloth hanger near the door. She hugged his waist from behind and pressed her cheek on his lower back.
"Welcome home… Kaname." She said. He turned around so that they faced each other. Kaname cupped her face with a hand and examined the look in her eyes.
"You don't have to call me with that name if you don't want to." He suggested.
"That was the name mom gave you and I don't want to stop calling you with that name just because I'm jealous with that woman of your past." She replied calmly.
He sat on his bed and seated her on his lap.
"So, at last you admitted that you were jealous." He smirked.
"I'm not jealous. Not at all." She declined promptly as she turned her look away from him to hide her blushing face. She was certain enough that a crow might poke her on the head and ate her since it couldn't tell the difference between her face and a well ripened tomato.
"I thought you were going to give me something." He whispered. She handed him the paper bag she had been holding.
"Thank you, Yuuki." He replied with a smile that took her breath along with her heart away.
"I-It's a hand made and I hope you like it. By the way, I'm sorry that I didn't have the chance to write the card." She apologized as she stood up from his lap. Kaname ripped the wrappings carefully and took out the long red muffler with the initial "K.K" embroidered on it in black. He took the heart shaped Valentine Card attached in the package and opened it.
"Dear Kaname, would you lend me compass because I always get lost in your eyes?. Love, your Yuuki." He read. Yuuki raised an eyebrow at the phrase she just heard. She took the card from his hand and analyzed it carefully. She recognized the hand writing and it wasn't hers. Finally, she realized that Kaien had managed to take a new card from her drawer, copy her previous one and slipped it into the paper bag before she left the house.
"That guy will definitely regret for what he did." She chanted the words like a mantra with a low voice.
"I'm afraid that I don't have a compass with me now, Yuuki." Kaname replied. She could see from his face that he was about to burst into a laugh like what he did when he saw her wearing pajamas upside down several years ago.
"I know that was cheesy and I'm sorry that I could only write cheesy words. You are allowed to laugh as loud as you want now. I'm all ears." She uttered grumpily.
"Well, to be honest words are less important for me." He claimed.
"Excuse me?" She gave him a look of doubt.
Kaname grabbed her shoulders and pushed her to the bed. He locked her hands above her head with his hands and stared into her crimson orbs.
"To feel the warmth of your lips means more than everything." He whispered before he planted his lips on hers. Yuuki shut her eyes as she circled her arms behind his head to deepen the kiss. She finally realized that it was useless to win a battle between a person who was already dead and became a part of someone's memory. Memory will never be forgotten and will only be glamorized as the time goes by.
"Kaname, I know it may sound selfish but I want to start everything with you so I can carve my own history in your heart." She explained when they broke the kiss.
"No matter what happened in the past. I just want you to know that my heart belongs to you from the day I met you." He replied as he leaned forward to seal her lips once again.
Feeling the warmth of his lips on hers, Yuuki came to a conclusion that sometimes words ain't just enough to express one's love.
