"Vampires. They are…beasts in human form……who drink the blood from living humans. Vampires do exist. You just don't realize they're there…"

The sun had set, and the moon dorm's night class was about to begin their lessons. Yuki and Zero were doing their best to keep the screaming, pushing fangirls under control. As usual Zero was throwing death threats and Yuki was being shoved around every which way. Amongst all the chaos the two heavy metal doors of the moon dorm opened revealing the night class students. Everything went silent, as if everyone had been struck def on the spot, and then…sound exploded and everyone was running forward. Yuki, (of course) was pushed over. Bracing herself for the fall, she felt someone catch her. It was Zero.

"Zero!"

"You'd better be more careful Yuki," he said smugly. Yuki picked herself up out of his arms offended, "Hmph. Come on or the night class won't make it to their lessonsv un-molested," she said as she walked off pouting and embarrassed. As she was walking though she tripped on thin air.

"Yuki!" Zero yelled. Too late. Quickly Zero ran to her, but not before someone else got there.

"Are you ok Yuki?"

"Hu? Kaname! Um… y..yes I'm fine!"

"You're bleeding though."

"Oh… it's nothing I'll be fine."

"Let me help," Kaname said as he bent down close to her scraped knee.

Cachik. Zero had his rose gun to Kaname's head.

"Zero! Kaname! Zero put that gun down!" Yuki yelled, but her shouts went unheard.

"You have classes Kuran."

Kaname slowly stood up, "So it seems."

"Forgive me Yuki, but Zero is right I have class. I'll leave you two now, and…you can put that gun away now Kiryu."

Zero didn't move the gun, as Kaname left. Once Kaname was gone Yuki jumped up and started punching Zero in the back, "What did you do that for?! He was only trying to help!!"

Suddenly Zero turned around grabbed her wrist and pulled so that they're faces were only inches apart.

"You," he told her, "can trust them all you want, but I hate them." He dropped her wrist and bent down to put a band-aid on her knee.

"There, now come on we've got things to do."

Yuki stood stalk still, then she gently laid her hand on her chest.

'Why is my heart pounding?'

"Yuki!" Zero called shaking her out of her thoughts.

"Come on hurry up!"

"Coming!" She shouted as she ran to catch up.

Later that Night….

Yuki grabbed a towel, her shorts, a t-shirt, and headed to the headmaster's bathroom. As she walked down the empty hallways she ran a hand through her hair, and sighed. She rounded a corner and stopped at the door there. Silently she turned the knob and went in.

"Yuki?"

"Oh Zero!" she yelled not seeing him there.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"I…I was going to take a bath, I'm sorry I didn't…" Yuki's blood was pounding in her ears and suddenly she felt sick.

"Are you feeling ok Yuki?"

She jumped slightly, "Oh, um, yeah…yeah I'm fine."

Zero stepped toward her and put his hand on her head, then suddenly he pulled his hand back as if he'd been bitten.

"Yuki! You're burning!"

All of a sudden the world started spinning around her, and she had to grab the counter for support. Zero looked at her concerned, "Yuki you need to go to bed and get some medicine before you pass out."

"No, no I'm fine really," she whispered weakly.

"I'm sorry fro bothering you I'll leave," but as she turned to go she lost her balance and began to fall, luckily Zero was ready. She landed gently in his arms, and as she looked up at him for a split second in his stone cold, emotionless face there was something there she'd never seen before. As soon as she blinked it was gone.

"Come on," he picked her up bridal style, "you need to get to bed."

"No! Zero put me down I can walk," she was so embarrassed.

"Yuki," he said slowly, "you are in absolutely no condition to be walking anywhere and you know it. You can barely even stand. So stop struggling you're making it hard for me to carry you."

She sighed and leaned her head against his shoulder as he carried her quietly down the halls.

'She looks so vulnerable…' He thought as he looked down at her. Finally they made it to her dorm room. Zero opened the door and walked to her bed and gently put her down.

"Yuki?" he whispered.

"Hm?"

"I'm going to go now ok? Get some rest."

Zero got up to leave, but Yuki grabbed his hand.

"Can you stay? Please?"

"Yuki…I really shouldn't…"

"Please?"

Giving in he sat down on the floor by her bed.

"Alright now go to sleep."

Smiling she whispered, "thank you," then passed out. As Zero watched her sleep he couldn't help but smile. Slowly he reached his hand up to brush the hair out of her face. Ad he did he curled his fingers and let them run gently down her cheek.

'What am I doing?'

He sighed and removed his hand from her face. Standing up he put a small blanket over her, and turned the lights off.

"Good night Yuki," he whispered softly into her ear, then left.
