Leaving something here, hello!

The morning had gone by and lunch hour, as well. You and Yuuki sat at the last class of day near each other. Yuuki was sitting in her regular seat beside Yori and as for youself, alone with an empty seat beside you. Yuuki kept looking back at you with a worried look and you re-assured by mouthing her that he's fine. She nodded and faced the board again, with Yori glancing back and at Yuuki. Zero skipped this afternoon's lecture. You mentally kicked yourself for letting Zero go after he said he'd be back. You knew you should have followed him and brought him back, or at least to see if was okay. You eyes wandered to his desk and then towards the board again. Listening inattentively to your school room instructor as you thought about him.

You and Yuuki found about his problems over a year ago. For these passed years, both of you thought that he was any human being-just like them. Until one night evening that he seemed strange. He was more distant and quiet; that really worried the girls. The next day had come and he seemed more gloomy than he was before; you saw Zero and Kaname speaking to each other before the switch over. It seemed like a heated discussion between the two as you tried to intervene but was caught off guard when Yuuki suddenly ran up to you. She said something about an emergency in the woods near the moon dorms, but you've turned back to the two males. Yuuki followed your direction and saw Zero darting away... away from Kaname. Yuuki suddenly felt this sudden urge of protectiveness over her as she began to think of questions and reasons what set the boy off again. You began to run towards Zero, Yuuki having to follow instead as the pureblood walked away.

Both of you ended up in town, wondering where the boy could have gone. It was obvious that he looked upset and was also in pain. You knew about his past, so did Yuuki. Why did Zero run off like that? You knew he was always stubborn, and so was Kaname; in their own ways. Maybe Kaname had said something to set set Zero off to annoy him. Maybe perhaps that Zero barked at Kaname for who he was, and what his kind did to his family. They'll never know but those are the reasons that kept them eating each other's arms off. Who knows, maybe it was something else. Yuuki thought the same way as well but resolved the situation for them, like they'll ever hear it.

Yuuki was sitting on a bench, catching her breath, "Jeeze, we need to put a tracker on him!" she exclaimed in breathy pants.

You were looking around the area to hopefully catch a glimpse of silky silvery hair with the academy's uniform. You frowned and turned to her, "Come on, lets scope the area before it gets too dark, Yuuki." You pulled her by the arm and dragged her. Yuuki groaned as she jogged beside you.

Dusk had dawned on them, making their way back towards the academy. You were busy wondering where the hell he could have been as Yuuki had a worried look on her face. They were all suppose to take care of the class changeover; that made Yuuki thought how much of a mess it was. A bunch of crazed fan girls gloating over the night class; the night class could have been trampled and tackled by the crazed group of the girls embrace, and maybe even a few tugs and pulls. Yuuki winced at the idea and thought what the Chairman would say, especially Kaname. You continued walking, only hearing the crunch of the solid ground from both of your steps. You thought about what the conversation was about to make Zero go off like that. You groaned, running a hand on your face.

"What?" Yuuki said.

You sighed and walked faster, "I'm wondering what Cross would say once we get there..." Yuuki nodded and picked up the pace. They had to get back as soon as they can. Zero will be back and by then, they can attack him with series of questions for deserting like that-even if they didn't have to run after him earlier.

Yuuki stopped dead in her tracks as you paused and turned to her, giving her a questioning look. She suddenly took out her weapon from under her skirt with a loud click, extending the staff over your shoulder; glaring passed you. Your eyes widened as you stayed still, thinking that she suddenly tried to attack you and then thought differently. You would have relaxed but the look in Yuuki's eyes sent you tons of warning bells. A vampire was behind you, and is apparently close.

"What are you two beautiful young ladies doing out in the dark?" A man spoke in a low husky voice. You felt his breath blow passed your neck, sending darkly chills through you, "You know you should be in bed by now, little girls..."

Yuuki shot a look to you and then back at the vampire, you balled your fists. Quickly, you ducked as you crouched down. Doing a fast 90 degree side kick and rolling/tumbling back, Yuuki stepped forward as the vampire was off-balanced and strongly landed her weapon on the man's shoulder; sending electrifying shocks. He shouted at the surprised sparks and fell to his knees. You got up and kicked him back to the ground as Yuuki lightly but pressed her staff hard on the vampire's chest. Both of you glared at the vampire as he began to laugh, "and here I thought you were mindless girls who had to face their worst night,"

"Yuuki? (your/name)?" a familiar voice was heard behind them. You quickly turned around and Yuuki turned her head. Zero!

You suddenly heard Yuuki struggle behind you, followed by a grunt and a thud. You turned around and saw Yuuki was now on the ground while she was still holding onto her staff. The vampire had grabbed it and flipped her with it, he quickly scrambled to his feet and lunged himself towards you. You immediately reached for his shoulders and tightened your grip on his shirt. Both of you crashed to the ground as he tried to reach for your neck with his terrifying, pertruding fangs, "I want a taste of your blood!" he slurred through his speech in the most horrifying voice that you've ever heard. You screamed for Yuuki and Zero, "Help! Help!" You shouted.

Zero quickly ran behind the vampire and snaked his arms under the creature's arms, pulling him back as he brought both of his hands behind the vampire's head, the vicious vampire began to swing his arms around as Zero pulled him off of you. Yuuki was already on her feet as she helped you up. Zero suddenly shouted, getting the girls attention. The vampire had managed to wrap his arms around Zero's head, clawing at his neck. Yuuki was about to step forward and jam her staff into the vampire's mouth but the creature had flipped Zero over him, colliding against Yuuki. You eyes widened as you tried to help the two up but the damn thing tackled you again. You clenched your teeth as you kept him off of you; he began swing his arms and clawed against your arms. Tearing through the clothes and skin. You saw the vampire's eyes darkened in hue red, eyes dilating when he snarled at you. You suddenly saw Yuuki's staff go under his neck and was yanked back; sparks flashing viciously. He shut his eyes and shouted in agony, he slashed towards you, having an earned cut on the side of your jaw. You hissed at the sudden action and felt yourself being pulled away from him. The vampire's hand immediately went to the staff and sparks began to erupted all over his face. He begun to lash out behind him to reach Yuuki until he heard a loud click, the creature paused.

"Don't mess with the disciplinary committee,"

The vampire's eyes widened as Zero shot his gun towards the vampire. The vampire imploded as Yuuki fell back against the ground. You, Zero, and Yuuki watched the glow texture blossomed as the creature turned into dust, followed by a retracting charm spell disappearing into the night. Zero shifted where he stood and slid to his knees, reaching to the back of his neck. You half lay there, staring at the scene that had disappeared. Yuuki quickly knelt beside both of you, "Are you guys alright?!" She asked urgently, quickly examining the cuts.

"I'm fine," You spoke quickly as you knelt and faced Zero. Yuuki was already tending to his claw marks behind him, she bit his lip and gave you a worried look.

Zero winced when Yuuki dabbed on the cuts behind his neck, he kept his eyes closed and completely sat on the ground. You looked at his face, he was in pain. You looked towards the school and it was still quite a walk to get there. You heard tearing of clothing and turned to the two again. Yuuki was tending to his injuries as she helped him get his jacket off. You thought of going to the academy to get help but remained where you are. It was clear that Zero was in pain and you didn't want to leave him just yet.

"'Don't mess with the disciplinary committee'" you remarked Zero's words, "Was that suppose to be a catch phrase?" you spoke with an amused tone.

He opened one eye and glared at you, "Shut up," he hissed at you, "I saved you, is that a way to talk to your saviour?"

"Uh, if you had planned to let the thing attack me twice then no," You crossed your arms and gave him that sassy-pathetic look. Your heart softened when you saw the faint smile on his face but you frowned at his sudden grunt of pain.

"You two stop it," Yuuki spoke up, "Zero, you're really bleeding, we need to get you back right away!"

You and Yuuki were on either sides of Zero, almost nearing the school but Zero's body had slackened on the way over. Yuuki wondered why he was suddenly like this. The more he slowed down, the more he seemed to keep his head low. You were worried as Yuuki and noticed the change in him. He was now strangely quiet and resisting to keep moving forward but the girls kept urging him on to continue.

"Just leave me here," Zero tried again, slowing his tracks.

You pulled on Zero's arm and tugged him, "No, we're almost there!"

Zero's body suddenly gave out as he fell to his knees. He shut his eyes and he pressed his hand against the earth's dirt; feeling completely pathetic at this moment, especially in front of the girls, "Go, please!" He begged, holding a hand up to his chest.

"Oh god, he must really hurt." Yuuki spoke in a quiet tone, she looked up towards you, "(your/name), I'm going to go and get help!" she turned and looked ahead, "Stay here with Zero,"

Zero suddenly spoke up, "Both of you go," he groaned.

You stopped her by grabbing her wrist, "No, I'll go. You stay with Zero," You heard him grumble in frustration, they were ignoring him.

"No," she pulled her wrist back, "You're hurt too," She quickly dashed towards the school, "I'll be quick!" Yuuki took out her staff and ran with it, in case there were any danger on the way over.

Zero rolled onto his back and held onto his chest. You quickly knelt beside him and gave him an uncertain look, wasn't Zero hurt from the back? You placed your hand on his arm, he quickly snatched his arm away, "Go," he pleaded.

You stared at the troublesome boy in front you, "No, I'm staying put,"

Zero started to heave and breathe rapidly, he forced himself to roll over getting onto his hands and knees, "G-Go, please!" He begged urgently, trying to crawl away.

You swallowed, "Don't hide your pain!" You get he didn't want to show his weakness but damn it! You wanted to help him, comfort him in any way you can! You Placed your hands on his shoulder, trying to get him to sit beside you. Zero suddenly grabbed your wrist, pulling you forward.

Wrist being pulled as her body rocked forward. Earning an audible shaky gasp from the boy underneath her, as she suddenly melted onto his body, grunting softly.

Zero gasped loudly, pulling you forward from your knees and then pushed your back against the ground. He straddled himself ontop of you to keep you pinned, your eyes widened at this sudden action. Too fast to process what was going on. Your eyes went to your pinned wrists and then you faced him; you let out a shocked shaky gasp. His eyes were bright red, sharpend fangs pretruding from his lips, and his expression was different; hunger and desire. His face was tinted with a pink flush as he panted softly, staring back at you. You suddenly felt an unfamiliar warmth form around your stomach, squirming in embarrassment. You felt scared and confused by this situation. Not sure what to do and thinking of any possible way to break free from his grip; Zero leaned down towards your neck as you began to hyperventilate under him, "W-wait, Zero!" You shut your eyes closed, waiting for the that piercing moment. Remembering the conversation between you and Yuuki of how much you girls thought the pain would be.

Suddenly, the weight of Zero's body was gone and hearing Something slid against the ground. You opened your eyes and quickly sat up, looking towards the sound. It was Kaname! He was only dressed in his black long sleeved shirt, with his white pants. It looked like as if he got the news and ran all the way back here. He was facing Zero a few feet away from him, in front of you, "Kaname!" You exclaimed.

Zero quickly tackled Kaname but the pureblood prevented themselves to collide against the ground. Kaname did a side step and tossed the silver haired teen further away from you two, "Go back to the academy's school grounds now," he spoke sternly, he turned back towards Zero. Kaname caught Zero in a firm hold when the silvered haired grabbed his neck, "Go!" He shouted.

You stood up, reluctant to go but you turned your heel and dashed ahead. Frankly, you were stopped after Zero shouted your name. You stopped and turned around; Kaname was holding Zero with his arms firmly around his shoulders, as Zero was trying to break free. once your eyes held for one moment; He head butt back against Kaname's face, who also got distracted when you turned back, and broke from Kaname's grip. Zero grabbed your neck with his firm hand and turned the both of you around to face Kaname; Zero held you with your back against his chest. His arms snaked around you with his firm hold. Your eyes widened, meeting with KAname's who looked alarmed. The pureblood tried to take a step forward, but Zero stepped back with you.

"Kiryu!" Kaname hissed, "I told you, if you ever hurt-"

"Shut up!" Zero barked back, "Just shut up," He snaked his hand under your neck, dipping your head back as he buried his face into your neck.

You closed your eyes, gritting your teeth at the action.

"Kiryu!" Kaname yelled firmly. You opened your eyes and saw the concerned and protective eyes from him. You felt Zero burying his face more into your neck, breathing heavy pants causing you to shiver, "Don't make me do something that I'll regret!" He warned.

You felt him chuckling and moving his head to face Kaname, "Go ahead..." He spoke quietly, "because I'm about to do the unforgiving deed," he finished off as you felt his mouth opening, your eyes widened when you felt the two sharpened fangs pressed against your skin.

"ZERO!" Yuuki's voice suddenly came in, without another word, she brought her staff pressed firmly onto his neck. Zero stopped in place, who felt the dull electrifying shocks rippling through his senses. You held your breath, feeling the slightest prick on your neck. Kaname had also stared in shock. He sensed Yuuki approaching but had thought she was further away. Kaname looked at Yuuki, her eyes were full of alarm and hurt. She saw Zero grabbing you from the neck and pulled you against him, with Kaname looking like he was trying to resolve the situation. yuuki wondered why the sudden action but once she got closer, she saw the look on Zero's face; followed by his eyes and teeth, "Let... Let go of her now," she spoke hesitantly but firmly.

Zero slowly pulled back who began trembling. He quickly let go of you as he took a few steps back, holding onto his chest. Zero started to shout and panic; of what he had almost done and at his god forsaken hunger. Yuuki quickly grabbed your hand and pulled you back, staring horrifyingly and worried at Zero. You did the same.

"Yuuki! (Your/name! Zero!" Chairman Cross's voice echoed from a distance. All heads turned towards the direction.

Zero grunted, he ran to the forest as he heard his adoptive father's voice; feeling suddenly ashamed and disgusted. Both you and Yuuki turned and almost ran after him but Kaname stopped you two, "Go back," he said, and then running after Zero into the dark forest.

Chairman Cross was running but slowed down once he saw the two of you, "(your/name)? Yuuki?" He neared the two, "Where's Zero?" He looked around, his eyes went to the scratches on you, "Oh my sweet little darling daughter!" Cross exclaimed loudly in a whine voice, he quickly wrapped his jacket around you, "What happened?! Where's Zero?!" He began to look frantically for him.

Yuuki stared into the woods and the back at him, "He.. um..."

"He's made it back," you said quickly, "I only came back to get his jacket," you motioned Yuuki to get his jacket that you were holding for him.

Yuuki ran a few feet back to pick up his soaked coat, covered in blood. Cross stared in shock, "Oh, my boy!"

The three of you made it back to the school grounds and went to the house. Attending the injuries as a nurse was called to the Cross' house to attend to your injuries. Swirling of questions were needed to be asked from you two but your girls were still shocked at the incident. Only to keep them to yourselves until the next day. You didn't see Zero al night, not even during school hours. Once the evening came, you and Yuuki were told to meet The Chairman at his office. Upon arrival, Kaname was there, too. The Chairman and Kaname began to explain their unasked questions and to listen to answers as if they were reading their minds. Zero was a level D vampire and had been since the incident of their family's death. He was gone for the whole three days out of starvation and madness because of it. They somehow resolved the situation and returned before the class changeover. It shocked both Yuuki and you. Neither of you brought the conversation up-causing Zero to get out and say it. He says he takes something to replenish his hunger and asks for privacy from now on. The girls understood but wishes they could do anything to help-but Zero would refuse and send them off.

You and Zero would sometimes stare at each other for a long moment before realizing it. The little fragment of your image in your head would pop up,

Wrist being pulled as her body rocked forward. Earning an audible shaky gasp from the boy underneath her, as she suddenly melted onto his body, grunting softly.

it was like Zero had seen it too because of the same similar look he'd make.

"(Your/name)!" Yuuki raised her tone.

You startled at her voice, looking up beside you from your desk.

"Class is over now," Yori spoke softly, "Are you okay?" She asked.

You looked around the classroom and saw most of the students had left already with the teacher wiping the chalkboard, you looked up at the concerned looking girls, "Yeah, just tired..." You smiled as you sat up, picking up your book and writing utensils.

Yuuki stretches her arms as you girls walked out of the classroom, "I'm going to go and rest for awhile," she said tiredly.

"mh, I'm going to go to the dorm and then to the library for awhile," Yori continued walking as Yuuki gaped at her.

You continued walking too, hearing Yuuki's complaints about how Yori could study after sitting in class all day. You looked out of the window as you girls passed by, you touched your neck and wondered where Zero could be.

... sorry... for... mistakes. /is tired/
