Blood splattered everywhere as Kaname thrust his hand into his chest and ripped out his beating heart. Still standing he threw it into the furnace. As it started to melt. He fell to his knees. He heard Yuuki's voice.
"Kaname!" She screamed rushing to his side. "You..." She trailed off realizing it was to late.
Yuuki stared at the opened wound on his chest.
"I'll lose consciousness soon..." Kaname whispered.
" Kaname, why?" Yuuki ask, starting to cry.
The sound of footsteps in the background, alerted them to Zero's presence as he entered the room. He stopped in his tracks when Yuuki turned to him.
She was kneeling beside Kaname Crying.
"Yuuki..." Kaname whispered. She turned her attention back to Kaname.
"I love you, I have no regrets..."He said. "I want you to be happy, I want you to smile..." He took a deep breath, his eye's starting to close.
"Kaname."Yuuki whimpered. Holding him tightly.
"Let me go Yuuki..." Kaname said in his half conscious state. Thinking the girl he loved might try to use her powers to save him and end her life in the process. "This is the end..." Kaname closed his eyes and his breathing stopped.
Zero watched Yuuki cling to Kaname's body for a short while. Not quite knowing what to do to comfort her. Kaname was his enemy, but seeing Yuuki in so much pain was terrible.
Suddenly Yuuki rested Kaname's body on the floor and, without so much as a glance at him, ran out.
"Yuuki" Zero said her name quietly. As he watched her run out. He was about to follow her when the Bloody Rose began to disintegrate and spew rose vines.
Outside Yuuki was trying to stop the fight.
However the enemy vampires weren't listening.
Yuuki braced herself as one started to attack her. Suddenly Artemis Disintegrated in her hands. She spun around to see a portion of the Building behind her collapse as the rose vines shot out of the building.
She stared in shock.
Kaname's body... and Zero!
A portion of the rose vines near her seemed to carry Zero out. Then they began to dissolve in the air.
The fighting around them stopped, as everyone watched bloody rose vines disappear.
"Yuuki." Zero said her name. But she continued to stare at the scene before them. She was crying again.
Zero hung his head, trying to take it all in.
Kaname's dead
Remembering the fight he looked around to see the enemy vampires had fled.
He looked at Yuuki again. She still seemed like she was in shock.
"Yuuki" Zero said her name again.
This time she turned to face him, tears still streaming down her face.
There was nothing he could say. So he slowly walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her to comfort her.
"Zero" Yuuki said his name quietly. Hugging him back and leaning her head against his chest. Zero rested his chin on top of her head and held her.
