A/N: This is going to be a Vampire Knight fan fiction. I am borrowing some characters and situations from Blackened Wing and I have received permission. It is an AU version of events set during the timeline of her Crimson Door / "Duet" Series. The first few (italicized) paragraphs were written by Blackened Wing, they come from the beginning of Chapter 29 of her story "Blood Moon". I don't own the original Vampire Knight and I don't own her AU version that I will but using as the back drop to my story. Seeing that Blackened Wing let me borrow her situations, backstory and characters I am grateful and I will do my best to honor her characters. So with a huge amount of thanks to Blackened Wing, I bring you this story. Hope you all like it and please don't hate me for what I put Zero through.

Summary: AU for Blackened Wing's "Blood Moon". Zero and Kaname fight after Seiji Sato and Diachi Sato leave, tearing up hidden feelings and insecurities. Misunderstandings, coupled with strange feelings of hurt drive Zero to run. What would happen if he got into an accident and his helmet shattered? After running from Kaname, when Kaname was that upset, would Kaname come and visit him in the hospital?

Rating: T

Warning: Shounen-ai. (Boy+Boy)

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight, or the AU Kaname x Zero relationship. So while Vampire Knight itself belongs to Matsuri Hino. The characters and situation belong to Blackened Wing who said that I may borrow her versions of Kaname & Zero. So the only thing that I own is the plot and that is loosely owned seeing as the first six chapters are from Blackened Wing's Story Blood Moon, Chapter 29 "My only Love". But after that the plot is mine and mine alone. But the only thing is this story that I own.


Chapter 1 Fight or Flight

"I...I need to cool down, Kaname... I'm sorry..." he muttered with a supreme show of will power as he started to withdraw, tugging in frustration at his pants and trying to ignore the mutinous fire still throbbing through him. It was bitterly hard and everything in him cried out against pulling away. But he had to. He was too screwed up right now. He didn't want this to spiral out of control and cause irreparable damage. Been there, done that, shot his lover in the side over a misunderstanding... couldn't do that again.

-the proceeding part was written by Blackened Wing-


Zero's POV:

Finally getting my pants up, I turned and using my vampire speed, I blurred back to my room, ignoring Kaname's calls for me to come back. Slamming the door to my room, I ran to my closet and grabbed a shirt. Slipping the shirt on, I slipped out of the door and hastily headed down to the front door. Slipping out to the garage, I grabbed my motorcycle. Pushing it out of the garage, I turned the key. Peeling out of the drive way, I turned towards town. I only looked at the speedometer once and realized I was going ninety, on a deserted road. I only thought one thing, 'I need to get away from Kaname, can't hurt Kaname!!' Blowing past a stop sign I slowed down to the speed limit. Slowing down to a stop, I turned my head and pulled the helmet off the hook and slipped it on.

After driving around in a haze for three hours, I had finally decided that I could return to Kaname. I was no longer afraid that I might hurt him and we could talk like rational adults. When I stopped at the last stop sign on the road, before the house, I couldn't wait to see Kaname again. Turning my head, I could see a car careening towards me, so moving forward as to avoid the oncoming car I, in the process didn't see the other car...it hit me on the right side and then the first car hit both of us and I was thrown.

---Kaname's POV:---

"Kuran-sama," Siren said knocking on the door frame.

Looking up from the work in front of me, I beckoned her in, "Did you find him?"

"Yes, Kaname-sama," she said, looking down.

Looking at her stiff posture and downcast face, I was a little worried and wondering what could have happened to make Siren look upset.

"Siren, what happened?" I asked standing up and moving towards her.

"Zero-san, is at the hospital, he's been there for about two hours now. I had some of our doctors move him to one of our hospitals. It seems that he was hit by two speeding cars," she said never looking up.

"What?" I asked keeping my voice low, trying not to panic.

"Um, Zero-san, he's at the hospital," she said looking up, her eyes were wide, "I'm sorry, Kuran-sama," she said.

"Get the car, Siren," I asked.

"The car is ready, Kuran-sama," she said bowing.

"Then let's go." I said and we both hurried to the car, Siren opened the rear door for me and I climbed in. After a few seconds we were speeding towards the hospital.

Upon arrival the doctors, nurses and security guards scrambled to either make themselves scarce or to see if I needed any help. Siren shook her head and lead me down the hall. Five halls, two elevators and twenty rooms later I was by Zero's side. Slipping into the chair, I looked over Zero. He had lacerations, covering what skin I could see and some places looked like they were just plain scraped off. Others were covered in bandages and his eyes and upper head were wrapped up.

"Hello, Kuran-sama, how are you?" a doctor asked as he walked in.

"I'm fine, how is he?" I asked.

"Not so good, other than what you can see, there is a lot you cannot. And he is in a coma, but we won't really know what's fully wrong until he wakes up."

"You're not telling me something," I implied in a low voice.

"May I assume this is one of your Ex-humans and that's why you are here?"

"Yes, now what aren't you telling me?" I demanded.

"Well, Kuran-sama, we have done our best, but it took awhile for him to get here and ex-humans are so fragile."

"Speak," I said, resisting the urge to throttle the little man in front of me.

"His helmet and visor shattered upon first impact with the ground, it seems, so some of the visor got imbedded in his face, hence the gauze covering his face," he said hesitantly, "Parts of the visor has grazed his eyes. I'm sorry Kuran-sama, odds are that he will be blind for about a month or two and that's with his enhanced healing." He said looking down.

As the day went by, I stayed sitting by Zero's side. Nurses came and left, the doctor came in a few times. Pulling out my phone I flipped it open. "Takuma, are you almost here?" I asked. "Good, come straight up."

I sat there for the next half an hour with out anyone coming in. The door creaked open and Takuma slipped inside, "Kaname-sama, I brought the supplies you asked for." he said holding out a bag.

"Thank you Takuma, I need you to do what you did for me, except I want you to use my blood."

"Yes, Kaname-sama, if I may ask what happened to Zero?"

"He was in in an accident," I replied.

"Oh....may I have your arm?"

I stretched my arm out and he took it. Inserting a needle, I watched as the blood moved up the line and into a IV pack. I watched as it mixed with a white fluid and finally Takuma removed the needle. He hung the IV up and grabbing Zero's left arm, he looked for a vein. After a second, he pushed the IV into Zero's skin. Looking back I watched Zero to see if I could see any change. A click alerted me to Takuma's leaving. Laying my head down, I closed my eyes.

----Zero's POV----

Pain and darkness let me know I was alive, the cold empty feel of the area, made me think a hospital. Warmth on my left side was different and then I could hear that someone was speaking.

"I'm sorry, Zero, I never should have let you leave. This is all my fault. I meant to tell you about Diachi and my dealings, but I didn't want to get your hopes up. I never meant to hurt you. After our fight, I figure that if Seiji talked to you then he probably said why they came and that could explain your hurt, angry feelings. I never tried to lie to you, but it just never seemed like the right time to tell you. I actually was going to tell you before they came today, but we got a little distracted," Kaname softly spoke.

Slowly turning my head "Who was it who distracted me?"

"Your awake!?" he said, "How long?"

"A little while, I think that I caught the beginning of this though," I answered groggily, "What have I missed?"

"You've been out for about a day,"

"Why can't I see?" I asked, fear rising within me.

"Well, when you hit the ground the force caused your visor to shatter..." Kaname stated carefully, unaware of how I would take the news.

"Kaname, I need to know, please," I said my voice low, trembling as I tried to keep calm.

"Pieces of your visor grazed your eyes and the doctors, fixed it up, however you will not be able to see, for about a month or two," he said, his voice softened.

"Kaname, don't beat yourself up," I said, raising my hand I looked for his face, "Ok, I'm blind where is your face?" I asked, a frown on my face. "This is not your fault, I made my own choices. If these are the consequences then I'll live with them. However I'll really need your help when I get out of here."

"Of course, you know I'll help you," Kaname watched with a heavy heart as Zero reached out, bringing his face closer he allowed the silver haired boy's hand to find his damp cheek.

"Yes, I know, but it is good to hear you say it." I said with a small smile. Relief washed over me slowly, knowing I wasn't alone.

"I'm sorry Zero," The sadness evident in his voice.

"So you've said, but it's not like you to apologize this much, it's kind of freaky, so stop apologizing, ok." I said, resting my hand on his cheek, "I can't move so if you want a kiss you better come down here," I said.

After a few seconds of not feeling anything. "Ok, fine, I can' see, so if you are giving me a look I cannot see you,"

"I'm not giving you a look like that, but why aren't you mad at me?" Kaname sounded confused.

"Because I wasn't really mad at you, or at lease not when I was on my way home,"

"You were coming home?"

"Yes, because I wanted to talk to you. You know I don't like not being able to see you, it's really disturbing, how long am I suppose to be blind?"

"About two months, but they don't know that you're receiving lots of my blood, so maybe less time, but we don't know."

"Ok, well then I'll still need help and do I get a kiss, or are you mad at me?"

"I'm not mad at you,"

"Then why won't you kiss me?"

"Because you said, if you want to, not that you wanted me to."

"Wow, word phrasing stopped you, I figure that you would know that I wanted you to, because if I didn't I wouldn't have asked. I would roll my eyes, but well I might have but I cannot tell,"

"What are the possibilities of you stopping with the rambling?"

"I don't know, you going to kiss me?"

"I don't know, now."

"Oh, you know you want to,"

"Never said I didn't,"

"Just kiss me you annoying-" I started, before a pair of lips closed over mine. They pulled back after a little bit.

"Happy?" he asked.

"Aren't you?" I asked, "And yeah, I am," I said.

I could feel a hand run through my hair, smiling I turned into the touch.
