Chapter start………………

"Oh come on Zero, I can dry the dishes myself!" yuuki pulled the cloth to her, she and zero had been arguing about household chores all day, not that zero really liked the job. He just didn't want yuuki to hurt herself and arouse their bloodlust again like last time.

Yuuki gave up and pouted as she leaned on the doorframe with her arms crossed in front of her chest. Zero chuckled and started drying the dishes. He looked back at yuuki who seemed disappointed. He threw the wet cloth to her face which startled her. She glared at him as she picked the cloth up. Zero placed his hands on his pockets and waited for her to give a comeback insult.

"Eh??" he thought as yuuki passed by him and placed the cloth near the sink and proceeded out of the kitchen. He scratched the back of his head and followed her to the living room where she sat silently with Kaname opposite her as they watched the snow piling outside. It had been three days and the weather just kept getting colder. He sat beside her (a few inches away) and watched as she helplessly clutched the insides of her pocket so as to warm her freezing hands.

Before he could grab her hands and warm them, Kaname reached her in 2 long strides and kneeled before her like a prince honoring his princess. He could see Yuuki's blush from the corner of his eye. He decided to stoke the fire which was already fading; maybe Kaname was responsible for weakening its flame to tease him.

"You really d-don't have to do t-this Kaname-sempai" yuuki stuttered. She earned a low chuckle from Kaname. "But I want to, my dear girl" Kaname teased. He really hated it when Kuran would call her "his dear girl" it's like she's her possession forever. He took a peek and saw that Kaname was caressing her hands with his. He saw nothing that offended him but it didn't seem convenient because that will only make her want for more warmth. If Kaname would place her hands with his on his pocket, yuuki could feel warmer, but it seems that the pureblood only relied his actions through romance, a feeling that all girls desire. He paid no heed to the pureblood's actions. He has something better to offer her once they get to bed later, if she still insists that is.

"I don't feel cold..(yawn)… anymore…" yuuki mumbled as she yawned and fell towards Kaname. Kaname caught her easily and settled her so that she was lying on the couch. Zero eyed the clock. It was only 2:15 in the afternoon yet she keeps falling asleep like this every time in unexpected places. She really dedicated most of her energy and sleep for the night class, maybe this was the reason why Kaname didn't stay with the other night class members for winter break.

"What a queer child, sleeping in the afternoon, she's almost like a baby" Kaname said as he positioned Yuuki's head on his lap. He fixed her hair and let it sprawl around her little head. She was snoring gently. "Don't tire yourself too much over petty little things, my dear girl" he whispered close enough for Zero to hear.

Zero sat beside the two and watched the snow outside to distract himself from the pureblood. The pureblood noticed it and thought of an idea. "The green-eyed monster arrives" he sighed, stroking Yuuki's brown locks. Zero paid no mind to this and decided to go up his room. He stood up and gave him the "watch-what-you're-saying-vampire" look. Kaname smirked at this and paid attention to Yuuki.

Once he reached his room, he slumped himself on his bed and covered his eyes with his forehand. He kept thinking that Yuuki must have been angry at him that's why she never exchanged another set of insults with him when he threw the cloth at her, he felt so deranged. He also sensed that Kaname was beginning to realize the strong feelings that he harbors for Yuuki. He already mentioned to him that he was his incompetent rival, so he already knew about the whole thing.

Minutes turned to hours and it became nighttime. He groaned softly as he began to wake up. The light outside their house was already on and it spilled its light through his windows. Zero stood from his bed, closed the curtains and lay back once more. He was in no mood to see what yuuki and Kaname were doing downstairs. He smelled no blood in the air and sighed in relief. So he hasn't bitten her yet. It made him happy. His mind began to wander about many things about yuuki.

The life they would have if she had known about his feelings about her, the way he wanted to hold her very now and then without letting go and also spending their lifetime together forever without any worries about tomorrow or today. It must be silly to think girl-like but that was just a normal thing for most boys his age and he loved to think about it most of the time when she's not around.

Suddenly, the door creaked open, revealing a small teenage girl holding a small bear beside her. She knocked lightly on the door and closed it behind her. She walked towards him in silence and crawled next to him. He pretended to be asleep so as to not ruin her fun anymore. She laid her head on his pillow and wrapped some of his blanket on her petite form.

Then, she hugged her small bear and turned her back on him. Zero opened his eyes slightly to see if she was doing something or not. But much to his dismay, it seemed like she was still awake yet she did not whisper anything to his ear or do something to wake him and catch his attention. She really was forced to lie beside him tonight for the sake of her pure and innocent image.

Zero tried to tease her this time, to make her tantrum ease that is. He played with the locks of her at the back of her neck; he felt her shiver in annoyance. He then played with the soft skin of her neck which made her giggle, making her face him.

"Stop that, it tickles" she glared softly at him, holding his hands away from her neck. Zero smiled warmly at her and made her blush. Zero was glad that he could do this to her. "Why were you angry at me earlier, Yuuki?" yuuki turned her back on him once again and pouted. He wanted some answers right now so he spun her to him again. Yuuki tried to face her back to him again but his hand was too heavy.

"Alright! Alright! I'll tell you already" she said with annoyance. She looked at him straight in the eye. "It's because you're controlling your urges again, didn't I tell you that you're welcome everytime you feel like it?" zero was touched. He brushed a lock of hair away from her face and explained his actions. "I wasn't hungry that time, and I don't want to make you weak" he explained. Yuuki giggled and wrapped her tiny arms around him. Zero pulled her closer as a response. "You promise?" she asked innocently. "Yeah. I promise" he chuckled in her hair.

Minutes flew by and they still couldn't fall asleep. They weren't hungry or anything, it's just that these sleepovers and hugs in bed had been occurring frequently this week. Yuuki moaned and pouted. "I can't sleep Zero-kun" she mumbled on his shoulder. He lowered his head sleepily to her face and brushed his lips on her forehead. Yuuki blushed madly. "What was that, yuuki?" he whispered, brushing hot air

on her cheeks. "I s-said I c-couldn't s-sleep" he wasn't amused by that for he couldn't sleep either.

He sat up immediately and pulled her up too, making her sit beside her face to face with him. "How's about we play a game?" yuuki scratched the back of her head. "What kind of game?" zero placed two fingers under his chin. "A traditional one" he suggested. "Like?" yuuki was growing impatient. A few second passed, zero finally thought of a good one.

"Let's play 20 questions then, little girl" she gasped. That game was trivial and there were many risks that she could take. Her deepest darkest secrets could be revealed and she didn't want that! But refusing it would make her look like she's weak. She almost forgot that she was a guardian when she heard the name of that game. But she'll have to accept anyway.

"Fine. Let's play then" she smiled. Zero smirked. "Prepare for the worst day of your life, yuuki" yuuki grew nervous but this was only a game anyway so there's nothing to be afraid of.
