A/N: I just randomly thought of this fanfic when I was sitting in math class one day. Hope you all enjoy.

Cold Blood, Warm Heart.

Pairing(s): Kaname/Yuki

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight, however that doesn't stop me from claiming Kaname Kuran as my husband!

"Yuki, Kiryu-kun I've been expecting you." Kaname said waving as he stood in the doorway of the moon dormitory entrance. He was soaking wet, and it was obvious that he had come inside from the pouring rain just mere moments before their arrival. Thunder and lighting clashed outside, lighting up Kaname's face then sending him into near darkness again.

"Kaname-senpai I'm sorry we're late!" Yuki protested as she walked up to the door. "It's not a problem Yuki I figured Kiryu-kun wouldn't want to come here. But let us go discuss the terms of these new rules."

"Uh...Kaname-senpai the night class students are...?" "Still in class don't worry no one is here." Kaname said sitting down on a plush couch in the foyer. He wore a loose black button up shirt only buttoned up half way to reveal his pale, muscular chest with white fitted pants. Yuki and Zero sat on the other couch across from him.

"Sitting so far away Yuki, you make me feel lonely." Kaname smirked as he patted the couch cushion beside him. Yuki blushed and fluttered her eyes. "We are here to discuss the new rules and nothing else Kaname." Zero said pushing a large package across the table before putting his hand on Yuki's shoulder. Yuki did most of the talking but would occasionally make Zero say something so there was no awkwardness between the two boys that sat around her. However, she found it hard to concentrate, due to the fact that the man she yearned to touch and be touched by was sitting only feet from her. Exposing himself to her, he had to be doing it on purpose. Yuki blushed at the thought of herself and Kaname doing something she dared not say out loud. Especially not with Zero in the room. Yuki's whole body felt like it was on fire now. Her breathe caught in her chest, her heart was pounding fast and hard. Kaname lifted his eyes to her, sensing her heart skip a beat.

"Oh I just remembered I left the other papers in the headmaster's office. Please excuse me for a moment." 'And I need some air.' she added silently. Standing up she strolled over to the door. "It's alright Yuki go ahead we will wait for you." replied Kaname, a gentle smile stretched across his lips. "I'll be right back, and you two don't fight!" and with that she ran outside into the pouring rain, the door slamming shut behind her. Slowly, the two teens turned to each other now unsure of what to do since Yuki had departed. There was an awkward silence between them as they glared at one another.

"I know what you're thinking Kiryu-kun." "You have no idea what I'm thinking about Kuran-senpai!" Zero retorted angrily. "No? Sp Yuki isn't on your mind?" Kaname asked tilting his head slightly to show his curiosity. "Of course she's on my mind she's my partner after all." Zero responded trying not to satisfy Kaname's demanding curiosity. "I see, you're not planning on betraying her?" "I wouldn't betray Yuki! Besides she's... never mind." The anger once again rising in his voice as he spoke. His frustration growing with each passing minute that he sat in the moon dormitory. Zero was so enraged with Kuran- "Perfect Kaname Kuran" he thought bitterly to himself. Who did he think he was to so bravely accuse him of thinking of his partner just to start up an argument. Zero scowled, then was brought out from his thought when a loud crash of thunder suddenly boomed outside. He looked back up at Kaname, only to find that he looked uninterested and caught up in his own thoughts just as Zero was seconds ago. Then, they were silent until Kaname spoke again.

'Sigh' "I hope those those two didn't notice my inability to concentrate or my blushing." Yuki thought as she stood outside the door, the wild wind blowing her hair all over her face. The rain was coming down harder now. "Well I better hurry and get those papers before those two kill each other." She giggled. She stepped forward into the rain but jerked backward when lighting struck in front of her. She could hear the distant murmur of Kaname and Zero speaking. "I wouldn't betray Yuki! Besides she's... never mind." "Zero..." Yuki whispered under her breath even though she knew they couldn't possibly hear her. There was a rather long pause, Yuki leaned up against the door trying to listen over the sound of the thunder. She pressed her ear up against the door hard. It was Kaname who finally broke the silence. She shivered when she heard his soothing voice speak her name. She wanted nothing more than for him to keep calling her name over and over again, just like in the fantasies she often had during her patrols.

"Zero our feelings for Yuki are the same. Are they not?" Kaname said. Zero looked at Kaname wide eyed and shocked. "I only want Yuki to smile from the bottom of her heart and be truly happy. "Me too." Kaname remarked. "We both make her happy- no only one of us makes her truly happy." "What are you suggesting Zero?" Kaname asked leaning back on the couch, pretending to glance at the booklet on the table. Then he looked back up at Zero keen on listening intently to what Zero had to say. "A bet." Zero finally said. Kaname blinked but his facial expression never changed. "A bet you say, what kind of bet?" "A bet to determine who truly makes Yuki the happiest and who she wants to be with the most." "And the terms of this bet are?" "Just a simple mouth to mouth kiss with Yuki. Sounds simple enough does it not?" Zero smirked. "Oh not a problem at all Zero, I'm sure that I can handle such a simple bet such as that." Kaname replied. "Good. Then it's settled, oh and Kaname..." Zero paused to make such the brunette was listening. "Hmm?" Kaname said. "I don't plan on losing my own bet." Zero said chuckling.

"What?" Yuki yelled only to be drowned out by the thunder. She stood at the door unable to move, how dare they agree to something so juvenile and childish. A kiss for crying out loud how uncreative can you get? Yuki took a deep breath then clutched the door handle, swinging the door open and stepping back inside.

"Yuki, welcome back. Oh... your dripping wet I'll go get you a towel." Kaname said, raising and heading upstairs.

"Your soaked. What did you do walk in the rain?" Zero asked looking her up and down. " No I ran but it's pouring so getting wet was unavoidable." She giggled, acting innocent. "You forgot the papers too." Zero noted. "Uh yeah I forgot where I put them, the headmaster's office is a disaster." Yuki replied.

"Yuki I have your towel." Kaname called from the staircase, holding a towel over his arm, like a waiter at a fancy restaurant. "Oh thank you very much." she called back smiling. When Kaname reached her he wrapped the towel around her like you would a small child getting out of the bathtub and held her in his arms. "Yuki your cold aren't you? Your shivering." Kaname said hugging her tighter. "I'm alright Kaname-senpai." was her response. But Kaname ignored her and continued to hold her in an effort to warm her up. Zero growing annoyed walked over to the two 'Love birds' and pulled Yuki away from Kaname's embrace.

"Zero, what's wrong?" Yuki asked puzzled as to why he had pulled her away so violently. "It's time for us to go, the night class will be back soon." Zero retorted knowing very the night class wouldn't be back for hours. He looked out the window to see the rain had stopped. "Goodbye and thank you discipline committee. See you around." Kaname said as Zero and Yuki left.

They walked in silence back to the Day class dormitory, only exchanging quick glances at each other every few moments. The patrol was uneventful and even quieter still. Yuki stayed outside while Zero remained inside, on the look out for the tardy Day class students who missed curfew. Patrolling wasn't difficult, it wasn't hard just extremely boring at times. Some nights it was so boring Yuki would end up falling asleep outside under the pine trees that grew in the courtyard.

'Another quiet night. It's kinda peaceful but I'm not exactly happy.' Yuki thought to herself as she passed the Night classes classroom. She felt annoyed and angry. How dare Kaname and Zero involve her in a game she did not wish to partake in. But there was nothing she could do about it now. 'I have to figure out a way to exclude myself from this so called bet. I don't want to cause any trouble for either one of them. I don't want to make either one of them sad, but my decision will affect them both no matter what I do.' She sighed and sat on the ledge that over looked the courtyard. She sighed again before standing up to look out at the land stretched out in front of her. Taking in the crisp, cool breeze, the chirping crickets, and scent of pine, and cherry blossom trees that grew in the courtyard below. She caught a glimpse of Kaname in the window, reading a book. She looked away just before he looked up at her. She could feel his gaze on her as she stood there pretending to be looking out towards the horizon. Suddenly a scream filled the night air, Yuki looked up startled. Without even thinking she jumped down from the ledge and ran into the thick trees of the forest. Ready to draw her artemis if needed.

The screaming continued but didn't seem to be getting any closer. Yuki was now deep enough in the forest that no one would be able to hear her if she screamed, that's when the screaming faded. Yuki saw nor heard anything, she drew her artemis rod at the sound of a tree branch snapping behind her.

"Who's there?" She demanded. Turning around she still couldn't see anything. That's when the voice spoke a deep, husky voice.

"Silly girl to come out here by yourself." the voice laughed. "I'm a-" "Guardian. I know" the voice said finishing her sentence. "How...I...What?" Yuki stammered.

"Surprised? Don't be I know quite a bit about you Yuki Cross." the voice whispered closing in on her. Yuki swung her artemis around to try and threaten the invisible intruder. "I'm warning you now who ever you are! You are not welcome here!" Yuki said her hands trembling. The voice let out a laugh so evil and sinister it made Yuki shiver and cringe.

"You have no idea who your dealing with little girl!" the voice said springing on her. Yuki screamed. "No one can hear you out here Yuki." said the intruder tracing his finger up and down her neck. Yuki struggled to free herself but the uninvited guest was too strong.

"Give up Yuki. You are my food for tonight. You see I haven't eaten in days and I'm so very hungry. Won't you help me satisfy my hunger?" the voice whispered licking a trail up her neck stopping under her ear lobe. "NO!" Yuki screamed as the visitor bit into her neck. With one hand the attacker covered her mouth to muffle her voice. The other was restraining the hand that held artemis. Yuki could feel the blood flowing from her neck to the waiting mouth of her attacker. She no longer had the strength to fight back. With every gulping sound the attacker made Yuki grew weaker. Her eyes slowly closed and her mind drifted through her thoughts of Kaname and Zero. When she finally opened her eyes she was laying on the ground staring up at two figures who were kneeling beside her.

"Yuki, it's alright the intruder is gone." said the first voice calmly. "Kaname take Yuki to me private living quarters so she may rest."

"Yes headmaster." said the second voice. "Kaname?" Yuki mumbled when she was hoisted into the air. "Yuki, your safe now I won't leave your side. Rest now." Kaname whispered kissing her forehead.

Yuki awoke in the headmaster's private living quarters, Kaname was sitting on the bed beside her. She extended her hand to touch his.

"Yuki? How do you feel?" he asked gripping her hand, turning to face her. "I feel dizzy and my neck kinda hurts but I'm alright." she whispered. Kaname gripped her hand tighter, "I'm sorry." he whispered. "It's not your fault I wasn't paying attention to my patrol, that intruder could have attacked anyone. I just happened to be the easy-" "No, Yuki it's my fault I didn't watch over you to protect you."Kaname said, anger rising in his voice. He leaned closer to her then brushed his lips over the puncture wounds that were located on her neck. Yuki flinched at the tingling sensation of his touch. He kissed her wounds lightly causing her to flinch again.

"Kaname, it hurts. It hurts a lot." Yuki gasped. "I'm sorry Yuki. I'll never leave your side again." he whispered, his cool breath made her shiver. She put her hand on his cheek forcing him to look up at her. Kaname leaned so close to her face that he was only inches away from her face. They gazed at one another. "You saved me and that's all that matters now. I really am grateful." Yuki whispered. Kaname sighed, then pulled away. He rose and glided over to the window. He stood there for a moment, glancing back at Yuki every so often as if she would disappear if he didn't watch her.

"Yuki I made an agreement with Zero yesterday afternoon." he said turning back to her. "Don't you mean a bet?" Yuki questioned smiling coyly. He looked at her expressionless then let out a sigh of relief. "Well yes. I assume you heard us discussing it." he said sweetly. Yuki nodded, he sat down next to her again, entangling his hand in hers.

"Zero will think you cheated because of this." Yuki giggled, while sitting upright. "Zero can think what he wants. I love you Yuki!" Kaname confessed. Yuki smiled and wrapped her arms around Kaname's neck pulling herself closer to him.

"I love you too Kaname!" Yuki whispered, before closing the distance between their faces. She parted her lips and followed his lead. The kissed passionately, their tongues twisted around each others. Kaname caressed the small of her back while she entangled her fingers in his silky smooth hair. A groan escaped his throat when he pushed her back down on the bed. Yuki wrapped her legs around his waist, still kissing him deeply. When Kaname pulled away they were breathing heavily.

"Looks like you won the bet." Yuki smiled. "Yuki... I don't care about that stupid bet I never did. To tell you the truth I thought it was a waste of time. But I got to confess my love for you so maybe it was stupid at all." Kaname smiled pulling her into his strong chest.

"I love you Kaname."Yuki whispered. "I love you too Yuki, always have, and always will." Kaname said crashing his lips against hers once again.
