"If you're a vampire I should hate then drink my blood." Zero says sternly.

Zero... I think to myself, I don't want you to hate me. "I won't do it!" I say. Zero's eyes widen, "I am a vampire but I don't want you to hate me Zero. After all we've been through I want to stay by your side. I'm your ally remember." I know that this is selfish but I don't want to leave Zero. I felt like he was starting to open up and trust me, and I don't want him to deal with everything alone. Zero turns and then stills, "Yuuki I don't know why you want to stay by me and be my ally. You should just go like Kaname told you." Zero starts to walk off, I don't want you to leave this is my only chance to convince him I'm always going to be here for him, I tell myself. I run and grab onto Zero's jacket. "Zero! I want to be your ally because we've been through so much and you mean a lot to me. I won't leave because I'm afraid that means losing you." Zero turns around and he looks unconvinced, I have to prove how I feel to him. "Zero drink my blood."

Zero's eyes widen for the second time and he asks why. "Because you said you could tell how I felt last time, and I think that I can show you how I feel this way." I unbutton my top two buttons, take off my jacket, and pull my hair to one side. Zero's brows knit and he looks conflicted, but eventually his vampire urges take over, his eyes glow crimson and he leans down and bites into my neck. The pain fades quickly and I hold him close, he wraps his arms around me and I feel the warmth from his body.

We stay like that for a minute and then he pulls away. His lilac eyes look soft and caring and I know that he understands. "Yuuki I understand now."

Zero's Perspective

I bite into Yuuki's soft neck and hold onto her. Suddenly all of her emotions pour into my conscience. I sense trust, caring, and a small amount of pain. However, I also can taste determination and happiness that is uniquely Yuuki. The last emotion I sense confuses me and also makes my heart start to pound... love. I pull back, "Yuuki I understand now." We really have been through a lot, I remember when I told her I couldn't hate her, a short time ago I thought that was a lie. Now I realize I was lying to myself, I couldn't hate her. I was just afraid of loving her.
