Cocoa: This is my first time writing a V. Knight fic so please ignore all the spelling mistakes. I twisted the entire story, making it very very different from the original but I hope you would like it and leave a review.

NIGHTMARES

It felt like many years ago, like the clock turned backwards and stopped at a particular scene.

The atmosphere was so still, the place was so quiet. I know I've never been here, but it feels like I was here before…

And amidst the blanket of snow covering every inch of the area, stood a small boy. He looked familiar, too familiar. "You took my family away," the boy whispered with an emotionless face, "now you're taking me."

I walked towards him and placed a hand on his delicate yet cold cheek. I then said something I couldn't hear and sank my teeth into his fragile neck. There's blood everywhere, and I'm screaming… I'm falling, drowning, disappearing.. and there's no one there.

But I hear a distant voice calling my name, a voice so faint and far away.

"Yuki.. Yuki!" Kaname gently shook the brunette's shoulders.

The dead asleep girl bolted awake, panting heavily. Her forehead laced with beads of sweat and her eyes were wide with fear.

"The same nightmare again?" Kaname sat down on Yuki's bed beside here.

"Mm," she nodded, "except that this time, I could hear what the little boy said."

"What did he say?" Kaname asked lightly, holding her hand in his.

"He said.. he said ATCHOO!"

"He sneezed?" Kaname smiled, "then it won't be a nightmare, would it?"

"Kaname…" Yuki half-whined. They both took a brief moment to greet each other with a slight grin before Yuki caught sight of the alarm clock.

"Aah! I'm late!" she jumped up, grabbed her uniform and dashed into the toilet (in her room). After a few minutes of washing up and changing, a flustered Yuki came out of the toilet.

"Sorry Kaname, I'll have to leave now." She snatched her bag and was about to exit when Kaname grasped her hand from behind. Yuki felt his body, full contact with her back. She slowly turned around to embrace him, burying her head in his chest.

She loved the sweet scent from his body, the sound of his steady heartbeat and the puff of warm air he exhaled above her head at every breath. It was so comforting, exactly the same feeling experienced when she was 4 years old, when he saved her from danger.

'This is worth being late for' Yuki thought as she continued to cling onto him tightly.

Ever since Shizuka came to Cross academy, Zero was never at peace. He wanted to kill her, but he couldn't. He wanted to commit suicide but her wouldn't.

All because of her, she took his family away and made him a vampire, causing him to harm Yuki whenever he was 'hungry'.

She even used his twin brother, Ichiru…

All because of her.

'What more does she want?' He thought bitterly.

-

"Who are you looking for?" Ichiru asked, not taking his eyes off his master.

"My sister." Shizuka replied care-lessly. "She should be around this area."

The true-blooded vampire poured herself a cup of tea and sat down.

Ichiru was silent for awhile before he spoke, "And what if you don't find her?"

His question received a glare from Shizuka, "Ignorant boy," She hissed then regained her usual composure, "I'll just ask Zero to trace her. She was the one who turned Zero into a vampire, not me."

-

'Why is he so important to her when all he did 'for' her was stealing her blood?' Kaname thought, resting his chin on his hand. The silence in the room was deafening, encouraging the negative thoughts to disturb his mind. Allowing the pessimistic questions to continue revolving his head, Kaname didn't notice the tall, ash-colored hair guy entering the room.

"You called." Zero said with a hint of an inquiring tone. "Yes," Kaname responded, not bothering to look at him. "When are you going to leave?" That question struck Zero, he never thought he would talk about this topic again so soon.

"Keep your promise, Zero." Kaname said in a slight warning manner. Zero was quiet, unable to give a coherent answer. After a pause, he muttered a "soon" and left the room without much hesitation.

Kaname glanced at the spot Zero stood, 'Will Yuki treat me how she treats you once you're gone?'

-

"You took my family away," The boy whispered with an emotionless face, "now you're taking me."

I walked towards him, and placed a hand on his delicate yet cold cheek. "But I love you, Zero." And sank my teeth into his neck.

-

"Ah Yuki, come in." Kaname stood up, pulling out a chair for her. The brunette walked into the room and sat down uncertainly. She kept her head down, fiddling a little with her fingers.

"Hope I'm not disturbing you." She mumbled. Kaname took awhile to examine her abnormally quiet behavior before he replied, "Not at all, but are you feeling unwell?"

"You can say so." Yuki gave him a weak smile. "Unwell up here." She pointed at her forehead. Kaname looked at her with a somewhat quizzical expression to allow her to explain. "I had that nightmare again." She sighed, "And I know who the small boy is."

"You told me that you bit him like a vampire but you haven't told me what he said." Kaname reminded, his curiosity a little aroused. "He said that I took his family and I'm gonna take him." she murmured. "I went to him and said I love him, then called him Zero."

Sensing his sudden change of mood, Yuki hastily added, "Maybe I dreamt that on behalf on someone, like Shizuka." Kaname touched the tip of his chin in a thinking position. He knew vampires would not have dreams, and people don't have dreams on their behalf.

"Maybe, but it's best you don't go near her for the time being."

-

"What's with that disgusted look, my dear Zero?" Shizuka asked in an acidly sweet tone.

"Go away."

"Won't you spare me some time to listen to what I have to say?"

"No." Zero muttered.

"You don't want to know who made you a vampire?"

Zero stopped in his tracks, for wasn't the one who made him a vampire her?

"Apparently not." Shizuka said, reading his mind. "But in exchange, you need to help me find her."
