Thank You to everyone who reviewed the first chapter. Before I continue I want to comment on one thing: shipping and pairings.

I usually don't get upset over pairings and I usually support canon, but Vampire Knight made that kind of hard. Since I started reading VK my favorite pairing has been Kaname and Yuuki. I don't dislike the idea of Yuuki and Zero being together, I just like KXY more. After I found out they were siblings I was upset because I thought that was the end of the pairing, but then they started talking about pureblood intermarriage and Haruka and Juuri's relationship. So I kept supporting that pairing.

I do not think incest is right, I think its wrong. But the characters in VK are not real and they are vampires and don't follow human ethics. For non-KanamexYuuki fans I will have alot of Zero and Yuuki fluff and stuff because I think Zero could use some fluff in his life. Poor Zero, I love him so much. He's my favorite angsty ex-human vampire hunter. And Yuuki and Zero are just so cute.

Please don't send reviews like "OMG! How can you think incest is right" or "I'm not reading this because its not Zeki" or things along those lines. The story isn't going to be just about romance. Your shipping war is not with me.

Anyway, on to other things. As far as the story goes I want to stick to the manga as closely as possible, but circumstances are different.

Summary: Cross and Kaname discuss plans for Yuuki's safety. And how will Kaname tell Yuuki about the death of her parents?

All I Need

Can you still see the heart of me?

All my agonies fade away when you hold me in your embrace

"Here you go, little Yuuki," said Cross Kaien as he put a plate of food on the kitchen table for the little girl. To say he was shocked by the night's events would be an understatement. Kaname had come to his door in the middle of the night with a scared Yuuki in his arms. He knew instantly something must have happened to Juuri and Haruka, otherwise their daughter would have never left the house. He let them in and prepared something for Yuuki to help calm her down.

Yuuki looked at the food, and then at her brother who was sitting in the chair across from her. Yuuki could tell that Cross wasn't a vampire like her and she was confused as to why Kaname would come here. What about their house and their parents?

"Where's otou-sama and okaasama?" she asked innocently. Cross glanced nervously at Kaname, who was looking at his sister with sad eyes. He cleared his throat to get the boy's attention.

"Kaname-kun, maybe you should come to my office while Yuuki finishes her meal. We can talk about certain...arrangements." Kaname nodded briefly and took one more glance at Yuuki before getting up and following Cross out of the room. When they entered the office Cross sat at his desk and Kaname sat in a chair in front of it. The room was silent until Kaien decided to start speaking.

"Are Juuri-san and Haruka-san dead?" he asked quietly.

"Yes. Rido came to the house to try to get Yuuki. They died protecting her. I'll have to tell the council that they committed suicide, though. I took care of Rido," said Kaname. He didn't want to go into details of how he stopped his "uncle".

Cross closed his eyes briefly as took in the painful information. Juuri was a dear friend to him and she was the one that showed him that not all vampires were monsters. He would miss her. The room was quiet once again. Kaname was the one who broke the silence this time.

"By now, word of Yuuki's existence has probably started spreading. The council will want to assign Yuuki and I a guardian to take care of us, but it is not safe for her to be introduced into vampire society at the moment. There are followers of Rido out there who will want to do Yuuki harm. I want to put her back into hiding until she has control of her powers and can defend herself properly. Juuri trusted you, and you are the only person I can think of who Yuuki would be safe with."

"I wouldn't mind taking your cute little sister in," said Cross, "but I'm sure other vampires will be looking for her? And what about you?"

"This will be last place they would think to look and no one knows of your association with the Kurans. She'll be safe here, but I can not stay. I will visit her as often as I can, but I don't want to put Yuuki in unnecessary danger," explained Kaname.

"You can't go back to those people!" exclaimed Cross, jumping out of his chair.

"Haruka and Juuri's death will cause enough uproar. The remaining Kuran clan can't go missing," replied Kaname flatly. He stood quickly and started walking towards the door. He looked behind his back to look at Cross.

"I have to say goodbye to Yuuki." Then he was out the door.

Cross dropped back into his chair dejected and put his head in his hands.

"How could this have happened..."

Yuuki was staring out the window blankly when Kaname came back into the kitchen. When she noticed his presence in the room she turned around quickly to look at him. He was standing in the doorway and she noticed he was staring at her with those same sad eyes as before. She jumped off of the window sill and went running towards him.

"Oniisama, you're making that sad face again. What's wrong?" she asked. Kaname didn't say anything, he just grabbed her hand and led her into the hallway. He brought her into the living room and they both sat on the sofa. Yuuki snuggled into her brother's side as he put his arm around her shoulders.

"Why did okaasama give me her favorite necklace? And why are we at this house? And who's that man? He's not a vampire..." Yuuki started asking. Kaname sighed. He didn't want to see the hurt on Yuuki's face after he told her what happened to her parents, but it couldn't be avoided.

"Yuuki, do you remember the scary man you were having nightmares about?" he whispered.

"Yes," answered Yuuki, shivering at the thought of the red and blue eyes staring at her all night.

"He came to the house tonight. Otou-sama and Okaasama had to protect Yuuki from that man," said Kaname. Yuuki looked up at him quickly, worry written all over he face.

"B-but they're coming back...right?" she said hopefully. Kaname pulled her into a hug before answering.

"I'm sorry, Yuuki. They're not," he whispered. His heart ached when he saw realization dawn on Yuuki's face. Tears started running down her face as she started sobbing in his arms. All Kaname could do was hold her and offer whatever comfort he could.

She's so young and innocent. She shouldn't have to go through this, thought Kaname as he felt Yuuki's arms tighten around him. It felt like they were like that forever until Yuuki sobbing slowly turned into sniffles. Kaname looked up when he noticed Cross standing in the doorway. He was looking at Yuuki with sympathy and pity.

"Yuuki," Kaname said, as he carefully extracted her from his arms. She wiped her eyes on her sleeve and looked up at him.

"Yuuki," he repeated, "this place will be your new home. This man is Cross Kaien and he will be looking after you." Cross smiled at Yuuki, who looked back at him nervously.

"But what about you?" she asked. Kaname forced himself to say the words that he knew would probably make Yuuki break down again.

"I can't stay here with you, Yuuki. It would be safer for you if I left." Yuuki looked at him in shock before her eyes filled with tears again.

"No!" she cried, throwing her arms around him again. Her tiny hands held his sleeves in a vice-like grip. She looked hurt, confused, and scared when she looked at him again.

"I can't lose you too, Oniisama!" she said desperately. Kaname looked at Yuuki sadly as he wrapped his arms around her again and gently stroked her hair.

"I'm so sorry, Yuuki. I don't want to leave, but it's the only way I can protect you." He knelt down on his knee. He put his finger under Yuuki's chin and lifted her chin up. He stared into her eyes seriously.

"I'll always be with Yuuki. I'm not leaving forever. I'm going to visit every chance I get. I promise, okay?"

Yuuki looked like she wanted to object more, but she slowly let go of Kaname. She looked down at the floor and nodded her head.

"I understand." Kaname got up and started leaving the room. Yuuki quickly followed after him as he walked to the front door. He opened the door, but stopped before stepping outside. He looked over his shoulder and smiled.

"Bye, Yuuki."

Cross stood next to Yuuki as they both watched Kaname go out the door and disappear into the snowy night.

"Bye, Kaname," Yuuki whispered. She put her hand in her pocket and held the locket that was the last reminder of her parents tightly.

This chapter made me sad. I don't like depressing stuff.

Please review and stuff. I'll update as soon as possible.
