Summary: Kaname Kuran left Yuuki for another girl. Yori had left long ago hurt by Yuuki. Zero left to kill Shizuka Hio. Yuuki is all alone.
Zero comes back and doesn't understand Yuuki's mood. All he knows is that she said they couldn't be friends because of Kaname. When he finds out the truth, he wants to rip Kaname to shreds. Why does it bother him so much that Yuuki is hurt? Why does he feel obligated to make her happy when all she did was make him sad?
The Truth
I never thought Kaname would leave me. It wasn't fair. I gave up so much for him. My friendship with Zero, my friend Yuri, and yet he still leaves making me give up him, too.
Yuri was so hurt when I told her that we couldn't be friends any more that she left Cross Academy. I haven't talked to Zero since he left one day to hunt Shizuka Hio. I know he's okay, but I still worry.
I do all of the Guardian work alone. The Night Class doesn't act up anymore, even with Kaname gone. They are actually much better now.
As for the Day Class, they still stalk the Night Class. Those girls never give up. They don't get why they have to be in their dorms by sun set. They think the only reason I get to stay out is because I'm the Chairman's daughter. Well, they are far from right.
You see, long ago the human race began to die off. They needed something to help them live. That's when the first vampires showed up. The humans let the vampires rule for awhile and the ruling family was the Kuran's because they were the most powerful. Later humans began to think vampires were beasts. They started an organization called the Hunter's Association.
Still today there are hunters who track and kill bad vampires. Zero's family, the Kiryuu's, were one of them.
The students who go to Cross Academy are aristocrats that want to survive without human blood. They created blood tablets to sustain their selves.
It was sunset now. Time for guard duty. I sighed and got up from my spot on a bench.
I grabbed my Artemis, a magic rod used to electrocute vampires, and started off.
There were a couple of girls standing around the Moon Dorm gates.
"Hey, all Day Class students are to be in their dorm rooms!" I shouted to them.
One of them, a blonde, grumbled, "Of course, because she's the Headmaster's daughter she gets to hang with the Night Class. Stupid Cross-kun."
"I assure you, it has nothing to do with me being the Headmaster's daughter," I said.
They walked away, sad.
The gates opened.
"Hello, Yuuki," Aido-sama said.
"Hello, Aido-sama," I said.
He was blonde and had blue eyes.
I left and went to patrol.
I looked up. The moon was starting to hide behind the clouds. Great.
I walked along the gate of the school. I felt as though I was being followed and I turned quickly.
There before me stood a Level E.
I was panicking. I had never fought one alone. Zero had always been there, helping me. He never let me fight and I never watched how he killed them.
I expanded my Artemis.
"Ah, silly girl. Do you think that weak rod will kill me?" he cackled.
He was tall, red-eyed, pale, and looked hungry.
"Yes," I said, trying to sound confident, but failing miserably.
He ran towards me and I leapt over him.
He growled and ran again. this time he caught me. The Artemis flew away from me. He pinned me to the ground. He leaned my neck back. His fangs touched my neck.
Pow! Pow!
The Level E's eyes widened.
"Because of your sins, you have been liquefied," a familiar voice said.
I looked towards the person. I saw the familiar and comforting grey eyes and silver hair. Zero.
He had the academy's uniform on and was brandishing his gun, the Blood Rose.
Never in ten years had I been more grateful that he hated vampires enough to kill them.
"Are you alright, Yuuki? Did it hurt you?" he asked quickly.
"N-no. You came at impeccable timing," I said.
"The grounds are safe enough. Let's get you back to the Chairman. He'll want to know a Level E was on school grounds," Zero said.
I got up, "Okay, you're right."
We headed off towards my father's office.
I knocked on the door.
"Chairman?" I called.
"Yes, come in Yuuki," he said.
I walked in with Zero trailing behind.
"Are you hurt, Yuuki?" he asked.
"How'd you know?" I asked.
"I am an ex-hunter, I can still sense vampires," he said.
"No, Zero got to me in time," I said.
"Good. Welcome back, Zero-kun. Did your mission go well?" he asked.
"Yes, Shizuka Hio was eliminated," Zero said.
"Perfect. Are you two hungry?" he asked.
"Yes," I said.
"Sure," said Zero.
He led us to the dining room and left to get the food.
It was silent for a very long time.
"So, where's Kaname?" Zero asked me.
"Kaname…" I couldn't finish. I got up and ran to the bathroom.
I locked the door and sank to the floor.
"Yuuki? Yuuki!" Zero called.
I didn't answer. I cried, really hard.
-Zero's POV-
I stood by the door listening to her cry. What did I say to upset her so? Why did bringing up Kaname bring her to tears?
Did he hurt her? Was he dead? Why do I care?
Who would hurt such a caring creature?
I thought of when I met her.
"Yuuki, this is Zero Kiryuu. He will be staying with us. His family was killed by a bad vampire. Please take care of him. I have to go talk to the police, now," the Chairman said.
I couldn't move. The girl named Yuuki walked towards me. She had long auburn hair, and big chocolate brown eyes.
"May I touch you?" she asked.
I didn't answer, so she took my hand.
She led me to the bathroom.
"I'm going to undress you now, okay?" she said.
She took off my shirt and gasped when she saw the blood.
"Does it hurt?" she asked.
I still said nothing. She grabbed a sponge and wet it.
"Do you mind if I bathe you?" she asked.
I gave no answer. She gently cleaned the blood away and was happy I wasn't hurt, physically, at least.
I snapped back to reality. She was an angel. Who could ever make her cry?
"Yuuki?" I asked.
"Yes, Zero?" she asked sadly.
"Why are you crying?" I asked.
"I cannot tell you," she said.
"Why?" I asked.
"Because I can't," she said.
"You shouldn't have to cry alone," I whispered and walked off.
I need to find out why Yuuki is hurt.
I walked over to the Moon Dorms, my own personal Hell.
I knocked on Aido Hanabusa's door,
He answered.
"What do you want, prefect?" he asked.
"Why is Yuuki Cross upset? I know it has to do with Kuran," I demanded.
"He left the human for a Pure-blood named Dana," he said.
My blood boiled. Kaname needed to pay.
I stormed off. That low-life left my Yuuki! How dare he! After he made her give up everything!
I left to my room. I needed to think.
Who I saw in my room on my bed surprised me.
