A/N So it has been requested that I make a second part to this "oneshot." So here it is.

Part 2: Already Dead

He heard her heavy breathing right next to his ear, still mewling softly at the waves of pleasure that rippled through her body. She clutched at his back, sticky with sweat and stained with blood.

"You know what will happen to Yuuki if she falls into madness. You know all too well, don't you Zero? Shizuka also lost the man she loved and look what she eventually became. You don't want the same thing to happen to Yuuki."

Yuuki giggled softly against his broad shoulder. She lazily traced little circles into his neck with her finger.

"Say that you love me, hm?"

"Yuuki can't fall into that madness...as long as you become a substitute for yourself."

"...I love you," he whispered, kissing her ear gently.

The pureblood princess shivered against him as she closed her eyes, relishing the sound of those words. "Just like how my Zero used to say it."

He grunted softly in pain when he felt her fangs pierce his neck again, drawing more blood from him.

She wasn't a heavy drinker...she always liked to take small amounts at a time, but frequently...

Yuuki pulled away, licking up the blood from the corner of her lips. Her dark red eyes glowed with bloodlust in the dark room as she saw the various bitemarks she left on him. Deep red fang marks dotted his neck, shoulders, chest, and arms.

"The bite marks from last night are already gone," she remarked. "It's because of my blood, isn't it?" Yuuki dragged her blunt nails down from his neck to his chest. Her eyes lit up when he shuddered at her touch.

"Y-Yes, Yuuki-sama."

She brought back her hand and swept away her long brown hair off the side, allowing him to view her pale neck. Her lips turned up into a sly smile when she saw flecks of red start to invade his lilac colored eyes.

"You don't need to hide it. I know fully well you enjoy drinking my blood," Yuuki purred into his ear as she placed with the soft silver hair on the nape of his neck.

She heard his heavy, labored breathing as bloodlust started to flow through his veins. He clutched onto her small body, bringing her in against him hotly.

"This is just a reward," she muttered as he bit down into her neck. Yuuki heard him thirstily gulping down her blood. "A reward for being a good servant-!"

Yuuki suddenly cried out softly when she felt him pin her down onto the bed. He held her wrists down and continued to drink his fill.

"You! Don't get so cocky just because-!" A soft gasp left past her lips when she saw him finally come up to meet her eyes.

His red eyes were narrowed dangerously with blood still coating his lips. His wet tongue flicked out to lick up her blood. His sharp fangs were clearly shown even in the dim light of the bedroom and to Yuuki, this animalistic side of him reminded her of the past when her beloved Zero couldn't control his urges for blood.

"...Ze...ro," she whispered, looking into his eyes. Immediately her round red eyes welled up with tears, being brought back into the harsh reality she tried so hard to escape.

"Yuuki-sama-"

"No!"

The brunette cried softly, pitifully. "Don't call me that anymore! My Zero would never...he would never call me that! Even if we were married, he would always treat me like a partner!"

Yuuki cried heavily as she laid there underneath him. Her breaths came out in uneven shudders, uncontrollable just like her sorrow.

"...I'm sorry," he whispered, sitting up and releasing her from his hold. "I've disappointed you again..."

He didn't hear anything from her other than broken sobs. Instead of comforting her like he longed to do, Zero simply scooped her up in his arms and tucked her into the bed. All the while, Yuuki let him, showing no signs of acknowledgement as he pulled the sheets over her body.

Zero stared down at her for a while before he raised a hand up to her face to wipe away a salty tear.

He then leaned down to place a soft kiss on the shell of her ear. "Please don't cry, my princess."

That didn't quell her cries at all, but Zero already knew that. He only said that for himself, only to comfort himself and perhaps ease the feeling of guilt he held inside of his heart.

Quietly, he got dressed into his normal butler attire and left the bedroom.

As soon as he shut the door behind him, he heavily leaned against the door and brought a hand up to his face. His guilt tormented him, only further amplified when he saw and heard Yuuki crying like that. He had never seen her more upset.

"Yuuki," he said in a harsh whisper. He slid down the length of the door and sat there with his face in his hands.

He longed to see that happy, bright face of hers again. Back when they were in Cross Academy, back when everything was innocent and they were both naive, back when they were isolated from the world of blood and vampires and purebloods...

Zero sat there and then finally removed his hand slightly as a single tear rolled down his cheek. A little smile played upon his face as he whispered,

"I guess there really was no happy ending for us."

A/N I might write another ZeKi fic in the future.
