I stand by the window and watch as the dying sun dissolves bleeding and painting the horizon in a mixture of different colors .

It won't be long before nightfall .

I watch her retreating figure growing farther and farther away .

I watch the long strands of brown hair sway as she makes her way to him .

Yuki ..

As precious as she is , I don't love her in a romantic sense .

I have always felt guilty not returning her feelings until .. Until she came to me , hesitant and nervous , confessing her feelings for another .

I don't really care who she chooses for a partner as long as he is good enough for her . After we ensure the purity of our line , that is .

However , for that person to simply be Zero Kiryu .. It grates on my nerves .

Let the poor boy be . Something inside me chided Which I found rather surprising . After all , My sympathetic side rarely manifests . And when it does , I truly find it astounding . Lost in thought , I took a moment to digest all of the conflicting emotions and swirling rage , letting out the softest of sighs as I allowed my eyes a moment of serenity and darkness , only to have them open again though welcoming an all too similar canvas . Night .. and Dark ..

Briskly , I let the velvet curtain slip through my fingers and walked towards the study table .

The darkness caressed every inch of the room with such abrupt intensity I felt it would consume and swallow me up , had I not been the king of darkness itself . Swiftly , I turned my gaze towards the chess board resting atop the said table , contemplating my next move .

I could almost hear a slow symphony reverberating about the darkness , gaining volume and vigor with each passing second .

And then all of a sudden , It hit crescendo making me shiver despite myself .

I opened my eyes wondering when had I even closed them .

After a moment or so , my fingers gently glided over the chess pieces almost as if touching a child , contradicting the brewing storm I felt inside . And It's then that I decided .

I did not just spend all of those years waiting to end up alone .

No . No , zero kiryu , I won't let you have what's rightfully mine regardless of everything else .

. . . . . . . . . . . .vk

As she sauntered her way to zero's room , Yuki couldn't help but think .

She had always thought of kaname as her savior , her crush .

However ..

Her steps came to a halt at that point .

Ever since she awakened , a lot has changed .

The man she spent all those years thinking of as her savior , blushing when she met , was in fact her brother all along .

she was a VAMPIRE for heaven's !

And .. And zero a vampire hunter .

Why did everything have to be so complicated ?!

She was this close to screaming but knew better .

Sometimes she felt like curling into a ball , crying her eyes out as she shook her head at how it had all escalated .

It felt sad somehow . She could tell that kaname's feelings for her did not and will not surpass brotherly love . And that .. Kind of hurt .

It shouldn't matter . she kept telling herself .

It shouldn't , especially when she herself couldn't exactly put a name to her own feelings towards him anymore .

But .. Truth is .. It did matter . And her own conflicted emotions hardly made it hurt any less .

She then resumed her walk , her pace slower that time only to have her steps come to a halt again . She lifted her head , sighing when she noticed how close she was to a certain silverette's room .

Awhile ago, she confessed to kaname saying she might have possibly harbored some feelings towards her adoptive brother . Even though deep inside , she wasn't quite sure anymore . Whatever she felt towards either of them was no longer clear . Was it love ? or friendship ? or a family bond ? was it adoration she felt towards Kaname ? just that ? or something more ? Could she really admit it to herself now that she knows everything ? could she really love her brother like that ? yea that was no big deal in the vampires' world but .. She spent her whole life living as a human and human girls don't love their brothers .. At least you don't hear it every day that two siblings love each other .

on the other hand , Zero .. Zero had a very special place in her heart.. she always felt like holding him close keeping him safe and giving him all the love he deserved but never had a chance to feel .. Was that love ? or just her thinking of him as the brother she never had ?

Whatever it was , She could tell - the same way she could tell that kaname's feelings did not surpass brotherly love - that zero's case won't be too different .

But that didn't stop her from blurting out such confession . Before she knew it , she was already sneaking inside her adoptive brother's room . the brunette quickly scanned the room searching for a familiar mop of silver hair . She already had a feeling he would be asleep and true enough , Zero's even breathing and heart rate confirmed her assumptions .

She sat on the floor appreciating how the moonlight glowed beautifully framing most of the hunter's face .

He looks like an angel .

she thought to herself , Smiling softly . But then another thought hit her .

However , no one here is . We are all guilty .

Narrowing her chocolate brown eyes , Yuki stared off into the distance almost as if hypnotized or even possessed . She could only speak for herself and she knew .. she was no longer the innocent human girl she once was ..

This is bound to give me a headache . the pureblood princess thought ruefully .

True enough , almost instantly , she groaned , already feeling a headache gnawing at her nerves . It's then that she decided to take her leave . After all , If zero were to wake up and find her in that situation , things would get - in the least of terms - awkward .

. . . . . . . . . . . .vk

Lilac eyes snapped open . Zero woke up sensing a vampire nearby . And not just any vampire .

Her .

She must have tried her best to conceal her presence and scent which explains why it took him some time to wake up and notice despite her lingering scent . He found himself smiling softly and shaking his head as he thought of her .

To think that he did - at some point - believe he was in love with her .

It took him too long to realize he might have confused himself interpreting his feelings all those years .

After all , what does he know about actual love ?

It only makes sense he got attached to her seeing as how she happened to be the first pure human contact he got to interact with after that incident . And now she is .. gone . he told himself .

He liked to make things easier for himself and thinking of her as an enemy would save him a lot of troubles , confusion and confrontations .

He then stopped to think of his own life so far .

Sometimes he felt like the only thing stopping him from committing suicide is the fact he liked to think of himself as stronger than that .. Which was - in all verity - quite pathetic .

He needed a trigger , a purpose , perhaps something impossible . Yea . the more impossible it is , the more it would fuel him to go on .

And not for the first time . he thinks of giving something a try .

With determined eyes , he gazed at his own wrist , his veins to be exact .

In my veins dance both of your bloods .

Power .

Power I suppressed .

I think it's finally time I make use of it .
