Hi everyone! I'm here with a new story, and the plot couldn't get out of my head so I just gotta write this down :D Oh, just for note, the name Yuna I'll be using was just a name I thought was nice and it wasn't supposed to be from Final Fantasy 10 like what one of my reviewers from my other story, suggested. I like Final Fantasy 10, but borrowing the main character's name was pure coincidence:) After I posted the story and re-read it, I suddenly remembered a final fantasy character named Yuna and was like ohhh:3
The title of this story is from a song by Davinchi. It is an OST from a Korean drama. I love the song very much so I've decided to put it as this story's title to show my love for it :3 Check the song out, it's great.
DISCLAMIER:* Vampire Knight belongs to Matsuri Hino. I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE VAMPIRE KNIGHT CHARACTERS. But I do own this story :)
WARNINGS: It's rated T and the characters are OOC. This story has M-Preg too. So if you can't stomach the idea of boys in love or M-Preg, I would highly suggest to you not to read it.
Because it's You
Chapter 1
"Yes Kaname, I was in it for the money." Zero said with a duffel bag slung over his shoulders, standing right behind their bedroom door. A shocked expression washed over Kaname's face but Zero could also see the obvious hurt in his eyes from this. "I never really loved you, let alone liked you. Well, your money perhaps but we all have to endure some things in life." Zero said with a haughty tone in his voice and a determined look. "Zero! What are you saying? We've been together for 5 years! What are you-" Kaname suddenly stopped when Zero interrupted. "Like I said Kaname, I'm breaking this relationship with you. I don't love you, and I think this has to finally end."
Zero could see Kaname's shoulders tensed builded up more confidence. Zero could see that he was too shocked by this sudden confession and smiled thinly at Kaname. Zero's thin smile held up under the weight of Kaname's stare, though his heart quivered. In the depths of Kaname's eyes, he could see pain and it made him want to run back to Kaname and hug and cry in his chest for the brunette to forgive him.
But he couldn't. He needed to do this, for Kaname's own good.
"I had thought," he said, with hurt in his tone. "That we would be able to spend the rest of our lives together filled with happiness and would have the pleasure of waking up in each other's arms every morning."
"Well, you thought wrong." Zero said with a heavy tone in his voice. He ached. How could he have ever thought that he was getting over this? This was no less painful than it had been the last time they had been together. Would it have been better if they never met? They could never be together.
"But- But why?! What did I do wrong?!" This time, Kaname shouted with rage and pain in his voice. It would be obvious to anyone. "You did nothing wrong Kaname. As I told you, it was the money. When I met you, I was trying very hard to gain your trust. Yeah it was a little difficult, but I did it. And then 2 years ago, you finally decided to trust me enough and opened a bank account for me and transferred one third of your monthly salary to that bank account. I've already transferred that money somewhere else so yeah. I felt so ecstatic at that time as you didn't know how I really felt about you. I waited 2 years for that money to pile up and I've got quite a lot in there." Zero said as he forced a smile on his face to look happy to convince Kaname that he wasn't lying.
But he never looked straight at Kaname's eye. Not even once. He couldn't look into those beautiful depths that he fell in love with, hurt and pained, because of him. But this has to be done.
"With you as the president and CEO of the Kuran Corporate, I'm 100 per cent sure 1/3 of your monthly salary for the last 2 years is enough for me to live life however I want, without you as commitment." Zero said flatly.
"So, this is it Zero? You were.." Kaname paused to look for the right word while trying not to chock on his sobs. "Whoring for my money Zero?" Kaname said as tears finally ran down his face. Zero could see those strong shoulders tremble from the frustration.
Zero's heart clenched tightly in his chest as he himself tried not to tremble from his distress. Or worse, crying in front of Kaname. His heart broke into a million pieces and this made him so close from breaking down and crying when Kaname said the word whore. 'Whore?' Zero thought to himself and his tough and cold mask almost fell from his face.
'Whore.' Zero thought. 'But I love you so much.' He tried so hard not to respond to that comment, but it failed. He swallowed the huge lump in his throat and spoke out, hoping his voice wouldn't betray him.
"W-Well, you could say that. But you were the best out of all of the other men I tricked Kaname. You're the biggest out of all of them too, if you know what I mean." Zero paused and swallowed another lump in his throat, trying to not make it obvious that this was difficult for him. He had to do this, for Kaname's sake. 'It's because I love him that I have to do this.' Zero thought to himself with a new determination and strengthened his voice.
"Yeah, you are the best, and the richest too. Last time, this old and fat rich guy agreed to pay me 300000 dollars if I were to be his for a week, and I did. God was he disgusting. He was so fat and disgusting, I swear, he resembled a horny pig in heat 24/7. Oh, and the other time too when-" Zero suddenly stopped when he felt a sharp slap on his left cheek.
He placed his hand on the swollen cheek with wide eyes and didn't move from his position. His eyes watered, and he was pretty sure it was already starting to turn red so he lowered his head and attempted to use his fringe to cover his eyes from Kaname's sight.
It felt like forever for Zero at this position. Kaname glared a cold glare at Zero but his eyes slowly widened when he realised what he just did. He slapped Zero.
He slowly lowered and held his hand forward to apologise to him but Zero quickly turn his back from him and spoke. "This is the real me Kaname. I better go now." Zero said without emotion in his voice. "Goodbye Kaname, I won't see you again." His voice cracked at those last words and he then dashed out of the room, out of the house.
Zero ran out of the house as fast has he could with tears streaming down his face the whole way. The house that was once filled with too many happy memories of the two of them. It hurt, knowing he had to leave it all behind, but it hurt even more when he knew he couldn't love and comfort Kaname anymore.
Kaname never had anyone to begin with, his parents died from the tragedy when his lust filled and corrupted with money and power uncle tried to snatch Kaname's mother, Juri, away from them all. Kuran Haruka had sacrificed to fight off Rido and died. Though the both of them were very powerful, but Haruka had hesitated to finish him off when Rido was in a vulnerable position and he took advantage of that and stabbed him.
Juri herself tried to protect little Senri, Kaname's cousin, and died. The heavily injured Rido found about this and attempted to kill the vulnerable half-pureblooded boy. Kaname, as a teenager, watched as the tragedy unfold and raged when he saw he's uncle trying to kill his little cousin. He screamed and raged as his pureblood powers unleashed and killed his uncle. He could only protect Senri, but he could have also protected his mother, and could have fought alongside his father. He still blamed himself till this day, and because of this incident that he had trained hard to become the most powerful vampire, the Vampire King. He had to repay by saving as many lives as he can from the death of his family.
As a Vampire King, Kaname had to deal with the Vampire Council and had to maintain his stoic expression at all times and deal with vampire sternly. He was not permitted to show his vulnerable side. That was enough stress as it is. Besides that, in the human world, he had to build his million dollar company up while dealing with imbeciles.
And this was where Zero came in. Zero would always comfort and would always be there for Kaname through ups and downs. He would always be a shoulder for Kaname when he was at the peak of his depression, and he would comfort him from the nightmares he still got of his family. Zero was the only one that he could show his vulnerable side to.
Basically, Kaname was a lonely and vulnerable person that Zero had desperately tried to comfort.
Zero opened the door of the cab waiting outside his once house, and slammed the door of the cab shut. The driver drove straight to his destination when he told him the address of his apartment. Well, it was actually Kaien's apartment. Since Kaien knew his situation, he had decided to allow Zero to stay in one of his apartments. He would prefer for Zero to stay with him, but knew the silverette needed some space and privacy. Zero would only stay in the apartment only if Kaien accepted the rent money. It took some convincing on Kaien's part since Zero was his adopted son, but Zero refused strongly.
Zero already had most of his stuff transferred to the apartment and he came back to their house to pack the last of his things and break it with Kaname. He had to depend on himself now, and Kaname will never be there to back him up financially again.
Zero looked out the window of the car and stared at the twinkling night lights. The stars and moon were shining so brightly, but he was feeling very down. As he looked outside the beautiful night sky, tears started pouring down his face and he eventually broke down and started sobbing and leaned his forehead on his arm. The old driver looked at him through the mirror and asked. "Are you okay young man?" Well, that was more of a rhetorical question.
Zero tried to reply through his sobs but he couldn't. He knew he won't be able to utter even a word from all the crying. "It's okay young man, no matter what, everything bad will turn out fine. Just like me, I had lots of problems back in my younger days, but now, I have a lovely wife and two married kids. Just remember, as long as you wish for that special someone's happiness, it'll be alright in the end." The old man said with a smile on his face. Zero looked up and stared at the man. "H-How did, you know, that it's l-love related?" Zero said in between sobs, trying hard to form the words out. He needed to know how this man knew.
The man looked at him from the mirror and smiled at him. "I just know."
FLASHBACK :D
Zero yawned as he scratched the back of his neck while taking big strides to their bedroom. It was midnight, and Zero just got back from a week long mission, feeling tired while wanting his needed rest. Kaname, his boyfriend and partner for the last five years, was currently at his company dealing with work related problems and wouldn't be back till dawn.
'Kaname isn't back yet, might as well go to bed.' The silver head thought to himself while drowsily walking to the bedroom. He jumped out of his skin when his cell phone went off. He fished out his cell phone and glared at it. He glared while it continued ringing in his hand. It was extremely rude for someone to call him at midnight, let alone late at night. Seriously, no one had the proper manners these days. He sighed and looked at the caller, but it was unknown. He tilted his head and flipped it open and put it near his ear.
"Hello?" Zero asked. The person one the other line paused a while and answered. "Kiryuu Zero I presume?" Zero frowned. He didn't recognise anyone with this voice. "Who are you?" Zero answered with a question. "My name is Ichijou Asato and I'm the Head Vampire Council." 'Ichiou, it's Ichiou, that motherfu-..' Zero thought but felt it was wrong to curse someone who he haven't even met. Well, he had heard stories, lots of stories apparently. And they were all from Kaname, complaining this and that about that old hag who he strongly believes, needed to be retired.
"Head Vampire Council." Zero muttered to himself. "Why would the Council need to so eagerly speak with a Level D vampire?" Zero asked with his diplomatic voice while he raised an eyebrow. "There is a matter that I would like to discuss to you about. Though it is inappropriate to discuss it over the phone, but there are very few options left for us at this point." He continued. "I'm listening." Zero said.
"As the Head of the Vampire Council, and for the good of our Vampire race, we would insist that you, Kiryuu-san, are to not get involved with Kuran-sama." He said, without any hesitation in his voice, he went straight to the point. Zero's heart dropped at that but kept a straight voice. "I believe the relationship between us has absolutely nothing to do with the Council." Zero frowned and glared at the wall.
"Yes Kiryuu-san, yes it has everything to do with us. You see, if you continue this meaningless joke you call a relationship, Kaname-sama will never have an heir, and the Kuran line will be tarnished and we do not want that to happen." Ichiou said with a smirk on his face when Zero kept silent. "Since Kaname-sama is our Vampire King and the only one left in the Kuran family, he should take another female pureblood as mate." Ichiou continued.
There was a moment of silence until Zero finally spoke. "Why are you telling me this? Shouldn't you be saying that to Kaname?" Zero asked in a quiet tone. "We have been pestering Kaname-sama about this, but he paid us no heed. It is his responsibility and he knows it. We have been waiting for 10,000 years for him to take on a female pureblood as mate, but we can wait no longer. This is a very serious matter indeed. We understand your pain, but unless you can conceive Kaname-sama's baby, which I highly doubt, then please, let him go if you care about him and love him. It is for the better good, and for his good. Do it if you very much care for him."
Tears that pooled in Zero's eyes finally fell as he held his cell phone in a tighter grip. 'I don't want Kaname to not have children. I know he wants children very badly, even though he doesn't say it. I don't want to be the reason he can't have children. His family line has to continue, and it can't continue with me in the picture. It's time to face reality, if I can't give him any children, then he'll just need someone else for this.' Zero thought to himself as tears continued streaming down his face.
"What's her name?" Zero asked in a dangerous tone in his voice, but in reality, he's heart is breaking into a million pieces, and Ichiou knows it. Ichiou smirked and answered, knowing full well that the hunter had given in. "Kuran Yuuki."
And it was that very night, that Zero made arrangements with Kaien to move out.
FLASHBACK ENDS :D
Kaname stared at the figure that was silently walking out of the door. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak, he couldn't do anything, but watched, as his beloved walked out of the bedroom and out of the house, carrying a duffel bag on his shoulder, evidence that he'd be leaving forever. No, he wanted to stop him; he really wanted to, but the harsh words and determined attitude shot him down and broke him mentally and emotionally. He couldn't feel anything, he felt numb and very much lost. He stared at the door for quite some time; he had no idea for how long, and fell on his knees.
He slowly brought his shivering hands up to his face and an eerie smile slowly formed on his face. He then placed his hands on his face as he started laughing hysterically with his head looking up. He laughed so hard that he couldn't believe all of this was happening to him. Just last week was one of the best nights in his life. He had confessed his forever to Zero, and promised to be there for him forever. Zero had blushed so hard but he accepted his confession. Zero even told him he loved him and would be by his side forever, but he obviously lied.
The brunette slowly stopped his hysterical laughter and slowly began to sob for his misery. Tears streamed down his face and they wouldn't stop. He slowly made his way to the bed and threw himself onto it, onto Zero's side of the bed, and sobbed and cried as hard as he could.
'How could Zero do this? He said he'd be by my side as a life companion. I was going to propose to him tonight.' Kaname thought to himself. He could smell Zero's scent on the bed, and it only hit him harder that Zero, his Zero was gone, and that the Zero he knew, supposedly cheated on him.
He continued crying and stayed that way for days. For days he didn't eat, didn't sleep, only staring at the corner of the room silently, with a distant and dead look in his already swollen and red eyes. He wanted to die.
Takuma and Senri knocked on the door impatiently and the butler, Tanaka-san, opened it immediately. "Ohh, Ichijou-sama, Shiki-sama, you're finally here. Hurry, Kaname-sama is in his room. I'll show you the way. He's in a very bad condition so please help him in any way you can." The old butler who had a white beard below his nose said as he quickly showed them the way to his room. "This is Kaname-sama's room. Please, do help him in any way possible. We, as servants in this house, cannot bear to see our master this way. Please cheer him up and convince him to eat something." The duo nodded in determination. The butler bowed and walked away.
Takuma lifted his hand hesitantly and knocked on the door softly. "Kaname? You're in right?" Senri gave peeped into the room and slowly walked in with Takuma behind him. He walked to the bed where Kaname was. He was facing his back to them, curled up in a ball, hugging Zero's pillow, taking in his ex-lover's scent with red, swollen eyes. He was too tired and worn out to even turn to greet them so he just let them be.
Senri walked to the bed and sat on it, and rested his hand on Kaname's shoulder, who just ignored him. "You need to eat Kaname." Senri said softly but Kaname didn't respond. Senri nudged him a few times and Kaname growled a little from beneath the blankets. Takuma sighed and thought it was time to step in. "Stop this Kaname. You're only hurting yourself and the people who cares for you." Takuma said sternly and turned to look at the wardrobe that was empty and guessed was Zero's. From this, he concluded that Zero left him.
He walked over to Kaname and slowly sat him up and rested him on the headboard and sat next to Senri. Kaname, with a distant look in his eyes, not focusing on anything with a pale face and a dishevelled appearance. "Maybe you should ask him why he left you." Takuma said softly to his best friend. It hurt the both of them to see Kaname in such a situation. The usually cheerful, happy and loving pureblood shouldn't end up like this. "I did, he said he wanted me for my money." Kaname said in a broken voice. He couldn't shed anymore tears, even if he wanted to, he couldn't. He had cried too much the last few days. He cried enough to last a lifetime.
"No, you should ask him the REAL reason why he left you. There's no way someone like him, who loved you so damm much, could just suddenly leave you with such a lame and flimsy excuse. You should know, you know him better than anyone else." Takuma explained. Kaname looked up with slightly hopeful eyes and continued to listen to him.
"Takuma's right you know. There's no way someone like him would suddenly leave you. There must be a reason behind it, something he isn't able to reveal to you." Senri said to him. "B-but, what if, he really left me.. because he hates me? What if he really didn't love me like how I thought he would?" Kaname mumbled miserably, but with their vampire senses, they could easily understand him. "WHAT IF WHAT HE REALLY SAID TO ME WAS TRUE, AND THAT THERE WASN'T A REAL REASON LIKE YOU GUYS SAID THERE WAS?! WHAT IF HE REALLY HATED ME AND WAS ONLY HERE FOR MY MONEY?!" Kaname shouted with rage. "Get out, I want to be alone right now." He said softly and faced his back to them once again. "Okay Kaname, we'll be on our way now, but we'll be back. Take care of yourself till then." Senri said and stood up, along with Takuma. "Be well." Takuma said and closed the door to his bedroom.
To be continued
