Hiya Guyz! I've been practically DYING to do a ZeroXKaname story, so I just hope it does the guys justice ^_^

Disclaimer: Don't own and never will own Vampire Knight or the Characters (except Krysa, who's mine)

Summary: With both Rido and Shizuka dead, the vampire world is finally at peace, and Kaname and Yuki's marriage is approaching quickly. But with some new found emotions, and a long lost friend, and a hell of a lot of drama, will it all change?

Chapter 1 – Long Time No See – Zero's POV

"No"

"Zero, please be reasonable! It's very rare for us to get a new student and have them NOT be part of some evil master plot." Kaien Cross was on the floor, clinging to my leg with an iron grip that was actually beginning to sting.

"I said NO! Get Yuki to show them around!" I shouted, trying harder to kick off the girly-haired annoyance attached to me.

"...Yuki is going over some wedding arrangements with Kaname..." An all too familiar pain ripped through my chest at the Chairman's words, giving me a whole new resolve as I sent him flying across the room.

"Damn it I said NO!" I roared, and stormed out of the office, slamming the door hard enough to break a few of the hinges. I sighed heavily, letting out the anger as I did the air, before calmly heading towards the gates. It's been three years since the Rido and Shizuka incident; you'd think I'd be out of this place by now right?

... Wrong

Why you ask? Because of one man... well... pureblood... vampire...

One pig headed, hypocritical, arrogant, sexy, sweet, kind hearted asshole who thinks he owns the world.

YES I just called Kaname Kuran sexy, sweet and kind hearted. Didn't you know? A lot could happen in three years.

Starting with the changes in Cross Academy. Thanks to said Pureblood, the whole school had been renovated. Meaning half of the school building was now designed to accommodate the older students who came here to specialise in certain fields. And you know what else that means?

I'm nineteen going twenty and I'm STILL stuck in this place. Stuck with all the STUPID fan girls; the STUPID AND POMPOUS Night Class and finally the STUPID Yuki with her STUPID peppiness. YES I called Yuki stupid, and it's about time someone did. I bet you're wondering "I swear you used to think the sun shines out of her ass?" right?

Well, has this ever happened to you? When you liked someone, then when you look back you're like "WTF WAS I ON?" because yeah, that's what I feel every time I look at Yuki. After Kaname publicly announced their marriage, the cute Yuki we USED to know and love DIED. In her place comes, Yuki-The-Super-Bitch! I used to think the whole Night Class was full of stuck up brats, but compared to the new Yuki, the may as well all be chavs. So, I'm supposing you guess that we aren't friends anymore, or even talking. In fact, if it wasn't for Kaien, I wouldn't have a reason to stick around anymore. The girl I thought I loved was gone, and the man I really did love... Again, that pain tore unmercifully through my chest. Who would've thought after all these years the memory still makes we want to cry...

Broken.

That's what I felt.

Broken, torn, and completely shattered. I knew words could hurt, but I never knew they could hurt that much.

"We're getting married Zero"

And that was it, that was how he left me. Without a reason; or even a goodbye. He left me lying there on his bed, with the smell of blood and sex hanging heavy in the air.

After almost a year of being together, he just left me, just like that. Even though the Rido incident was finally over, and – after taking his place as Vampire King – no one would've dared to question or relationship.

But instead, I got one night of bloody sex.

Even though I was still so mentally fragile, even though I leant on him so heavily for the support he promised me. But I was obviously wrong. There was no relationship; there was nothing behind his promises. There was just... emptiness...

The only thing which ever brought me piece of mind was the fact that I'd only have to see him for a few more agonizing months; then I'd never see him again. That knowledge seemed to burn and cool my aching heart all at the same time; and everyday I prayed for that day to come... and for Kaname to be happy...

I watched him as he turned away from me, the room in complete silence as he walked away. I couldn't take it; I reached out to him, and gently called his name.

"Kaname... Please...I lo—" The harsh slamming of the door cut of my pleading words. I even went as far as running to the door and opening it, praying it was some kind of sick joke and he'd be standing there; with that victorious grin of his that always made my heart stop. But he wasn't there...

That's when it set in. That's when I slammed the door and struggled to put to put my clothes on, before silently leaving through the window. I ran as fast as I could to the Day Class Dorms and locked myself in my room.

Then I broke down and cried.

That's when I promised myself to never beg for anything again.

And that's when I promised myself never to say the words I love you again.

Even now, every time I thought about it I felt like my heart was being shredding by jagged, rusty daggers. Even looking at Kaname had literally become impossible. It just hurts too much...

ENOUGH! I REFUSE TO GET MYSELF DEPRESSED! Shaking my head and giving myself a good hard slap, I finally approached the gates. I knew I didn't need to be here, but old habits die hard and it looked like the new Prefects needed the help. As the screaming Fangirls finally noticed me, they all fell silent, moving aside to let me through. I took my usual place against the wall; far enough for the Prefects to still do their job but close enough to help if needed. Who knew my glare had become legendary among the girls of Cross Academy? I couldn't help but smirk, pulling out my IPod just as the gates began to creak open. At least if I was going to go deaf, I'd rather it be because of my loud music than stupid Fangirls.

"KYYYYYYYYYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!"

I winced, managing to somehow hear them over my music. Still, ignoring them I watched as the Night Class Students filed out of the gates; High School Level leading with the College level right behind them. The usual bile began to rise but I tried to ignore it, expecting to see the usual. Kaname and Yuki would take the lead, with Yuki wrapped around him in a way which must be sickening to any other sane person. The only good thing about this was the fact that right behind them would be Ruka and Aidou; both looking as if they wanted to kill Yuki VERY slowly and even more painfully. I suppose the constantly changing faces they make are too funny to ignore. It was always worth the wait.

My music went silent as I changed song, and it was only then that I heard my name being called.

"Zero! Zero! ZEERRRRROOOOOOOO! "

I looked up, trademark glare in place to scare of the girl calling me; but found myself freezing instantly. My eyes widened as I took in the jet black hair, falling gracefully in waves around a slightly tanned face. A familiar set of bright lavender eyes glittered in excitement as a huge grin spread across her face.

"What? After all these years all you do is stare? I expected a hug as least Zezo!"

"Krysa!"

A huge grin spread across my face and before I knew it, I was bolting across the grass and pulled her into the biggest bear hug I could. Even though my whole life didn't seem worth living only a couple of minutes ago, I felt as if I just found a reason all over again.

And it was then that Kaname and Yuki decided to walk through the gates.

So... Good? Bad? Just damn weird? I'm a bit worried about this, so please tell me what you think! BTW Zezo is Krysa's nickname for Zero – explained later in the story – and I'm NOT a Yuki hater people. Well... not much... ANYWAY, she's like this because we needed a bitch in the story, and I felt bad since it's usually always Ruka.
