Chapter 2
I don't know why I agreed to come along with Yuki on this stupid trip. Half the reason is because Lord Kaname would kill me if anything happened to Yuki, and the other reason is because I would kill myself if anything happened to Yuki. So here I am, helping purebloods who want to die.
Now she has decided to go to a graveyard. This day is not getting any better. Why a graveyard of all places? Does she want something to happen to us because if something is going to happen, it will happen in a graveyard.
"What is wrong Hanabusa? Have I done something to upset you?" she says with a million more questions on her face. Like she would understand what she is doing is not very vampire-like; I mean she has only been a vampire for a year and a half.
"No, nothing is wrong," I say, trying to keep the mood light. "I am just wondering why you want to visit a graveyard."
"A woman I used to know when growing up is buried here and I just wanted to visit her," she replies with a look of deep sorrow in her eyes. I know something is definitely wrong because that is a genuine look of sadness on her, like the one when dogs look at you in the pound. So I nod my head and step back to give her some space. This is the second time I have seen her cry. Purebloods aren't meant to cry in public (like Aristocrats and other Noble Vampires) but yet her tears still fall like a never-ending waterfall.
Suddenly out the corner of my eye, I see Zero. What is the luck of him visiting the same graveyard we are visiting on the same day. I know Zero has threatened to kill Yuki when he sees her next (and I am not his favourite person either), so I am having to be on high alert just in case something happens and Yuki needs protection.
Yuki is now standing beside me, having walked over here without me noticing and giving me quiet a scare. She noticed that I am looking at something, she turns in the direction I am looking and sees Zero. I know she has seen Zero because her face has suddenly changed from her usual calm self to an uneasy creature. She tugs on my coat to tell me to get moving before he notices us but it is too late. And I know that I am going to have to prepare for the storm that is about to happen.
