I will be waiting for you Zero…..
And I did after 4 years I went back to cross academy, where I knew Zero would be. I was now 20 years old an official woman, and yet I feel no different. Artemis was strapped to my thigh prepared to do the hardest thing I will ever do in my vampire life. "Yuuki" I hear in that same voice I had left 4 years ago.
"Zero" his name escaped my lips as a prayer. I turn to see him still the same as always. The only thing different was we weren't here to protect each other. I looked into those amethyst eyes of his and the memories came rushing back. My crying in his arms all night, our almost kiss, and all those time he sucked my blood. He may not have thought of it in the same way I did but he was my guardian angel.
"So how have you been, Zero?" I asked hesitantly. He looked off somewhere east. The he looked right at me. "I stayed at my post keeping the day and Night classes at bay, it's been a bit more difficult without you" He said sadly, but I could have sworn I saw a small smile pull at the corners of his mouth. As if he was remembering something. "And you? How is it going with Kaname Kuran?" He asked spiting Venom into my brother's name. I was a bit hurt, but even then I smiled. The same Zero.
"My brother and I parted about two years ago when I developed my full powers" I replied unfazed. He raised one silver eyebrow. "So that means-" he started but I cut him off "Yes we are no longer engaged, we had been together for so long that I was oblivious that I loved him, but not in the way he wanted" He didn't even try to contain his sigh of relief. I laughed. Then I felt a rush of wind, and next thing I knew Zero was hugging me.
"Zero" I breathed. I pulled back to looked into his eyes. It was then that I realized….."I love you" then a miracle happened Zero smiled, and actual smile no holding back. "I've wish to hear those words for as long as I can remember" He said happily then he kissed me. I was shocked at first then I gave in. I wrapped my arms around his neck and raised myself higher just to be closer to him. I had only kissed two men in my life and one way my brother and now with Zero. But this was nothing like Kaname's.
I was freely kissing back not because I feel that I have to because I wanted to. Zero tongue pushed past my lips and that's when things got heated, but to skip to the point and keep it appropriate. I woke up the next morning in Zero's arms naked. "Zero I was thinking" I said sleepily. "This should be interesting" He chuckled. I hit him in the shoulder playfully. "Okay, what were you thinking of Yuuki?" He said now more seriously " my promise was to kill you was if you ever reached level E, and you never did. And yours was to kill me if I ever turned into the Vampire, but I already was one just disguised as a human." I explained happily. I felt him hold me closer. "Seems you've found a loop pole, good. Because I don't know how I could have killed the only one in this world I love". He said against my hair then kissed my forehead.
And for once I wasn't scared of anything. Kaname had found love with Seiren and he will always be my brother but, the only thing I cared about was the man lying next to me. And later in the year I cared for one more person. Our daughter. She was of course vampire and surprisingly a pure blood.
When I found out I was pregnant Zero wasn't furious or horrified that he was bringing another Vampire into the world, he was instead happy and loves his daughter no matter how what she is. I named her Juuri in honor of my mother. She is so beautiful with her long silver hair and chocolate eyes. So now I sit under my favorite tree with the two most important people to me and nothing could ever change that.
