A/N's: I warn you, they are long, but important. If you skip them and then don't understand something, don't come bawling to me please, because I did warn you :3

A point I would like to clarify is that they *this includes Zero* may be vampires but they are most definitely still men. (Thank God for that XD) . Which means they can still appreciate each other ;) . I've also noticed that Zero seems to like to shower a lot. Hm. Wet, naked Zero... But, regardless, I'm starting to see Zero as having a shower fetish in my own mind, even though he clearly does not have one XD.

Oh and thank you for the wonderful reviews *bows* I never expected such a nice response hehe *tear drop* I will try to reply to each one I receive!

To Starry Night, to help explain their sudden arrival at friendship; I hope this chapter helps to explain Zero's feelings regarding Yuuki. You might have a bit of a shock! Or maybe not?...

To Cocodrillo, Thank you very much! If I have anything to say about it, there will be more cute KaZe moments during this fic. And if not, I'll just write another damned fic that will be so full of cuteness, Hello Kitty will quit her day job XD.

To Jem'appelle Croissant, I will keep updating until people tell me to stop haha. No worries there :D

To LuanRina, Thank you so much for your compliments! I really don't deserve them hehe ^_^'. Yeah, when I come up with this idea, I didn't want there to be the typical OMG ZERO AND KANAME ARE FIGHTING for endless hours xD. I tried it and, to be honest, I didn't like it, so I'm glad you're appreciating the unique-ness of the situation I've landed myself in. You'll find out why Yuuki is being a son of a *insert un-repeatable word* in this part of the chapter! I sincerely hope you enjoy it and that I don't disappoint!

Also~ updates might not come as regularly now. This is because I return to Sixth Form soon to resume my studies and, because I STUPIDLY chose subjects that are all Courework based,( meaning staring at a laptop screen and typing practically every day) I may not have the patience to sit down and write a bit each night. But I uploaded this now because I heart you all... Please forgive me *tear drop*

Quick Notes: The way that the school day is structured in the description for Zero is:

Period One: Chemistry

Period Two: Maths (Algebra Specific)

- Break Time -

Period Three: Advanced English [Language]

Period Four: Advanced English [Literature]

Period's Three and Four are in the same classroom, with the same teacher and class. The only difference is in the topic (either Lang or Lit) that is being taught. They are taught continually, one after the other.

Oh and, for those of you who don't know, Insomnia is where you can't sleep. Michael Jackson (R.I.P) had a severe dose of it if I remember rightly ^-^ Correct me if I'm wrong.

Warnings: INSANE YUUKI! OOCness (mainly Yuuki – explanation at the end xD)

This chapter has been split into two parts. Part two will be uploaded when I finish it. My reason for this is because I felt that this chapter was getting really long and needed a break so that it didn't become boring...and so that I didn't give too much of the plot away at once. Sorry guys XD.

Wow. *looks up* those A/N's were HUUUGE. I'll try and spare you next time.

Zero woke up the next morning in a mild sweat. He sat up and rubbed his knuckles over his eyes before stretching. 'What a strange dream that had been' Zero thought to himself as he pulled back the duvet which had been smothering him. He shook his head slowly, his silver bangs sticking to the front of his face. Finally deciding to stand, Zero moved towards the window and pushed it open, letting some air into his room. Not that it made much of a difference. The heat was somewhat unsettling and the air was dry, clinging to his skin. After sweating last night, he really needed a shower again, lest he feel disgusting for the day, and possibly the night, that was ahead of him. He pushed open the bathroom door and, after shrugging off and stepping out of his jogging pants, he slipped into the bathroom and shut the door.

Grabbing a towel from off the back of the door, he slipped into the cubicle. He turned the silver knob and was startled when piping hot water came rushing out of the shower head. Yelping and taking a step back out of its harsh spray, he found the temperature regulator and turned it down, way down, into the blue section on the dial. He was relieved to feel freezing water splash against his feet and moved into the spray, shivering slightly as the cold water bounced off his roasting skin. He was content to stand there under the spray for a moment and let the cool water wash over him, making him feel cool and cleansed. Every inch of skin that had been aflame was now being cooled by that beautifully cold water. As he stood, immobile and relaxing, a thought popped into his mind. His reason for wanting to talk to Kaname alone in the first place was regarding Yuuki's attitude change and the strange looks from the Night Class. And yet, he hadn't asked the pureblood a single question surrounding those issues. Zero put his palm to his face as he considered his own stupidity. He had had the chance to quash those niggling worries in the back of his head, which were probably his own self-conscious thoughts, and he had just...forgotten? Zero reached out until he grabbed hold of a bottle of shampoo and held out his hand, squirting the shampoo out and plopping his hand lazily on his head. He began to scrub vigorously, trying to get the sweat from his scalp and make his hair feel clean again, instead of it feeling lank and disgusting on his head. Satisfied, he pulled his head under the spray and washed the shampoo away, watching the bubbles trail away and swirl down the plug hole. Realising that he didn't have all day to stand in the shower and ponder the meaning of the world and fate, a word which kept spinning in his head, he quickly lathered himself up and soaped down his body, making sure that every inch of him was clean. After a quick rinse to rid him of the suds, he shook his head, a habit that –along with sighing- seemed to be adding to his repertoire of depressing actions, and turned the knobs on the shower, turning it off. Snagging his towel, he made a quick job of drying his hair – something he never had time for anyway, regardless of whether or not he was going to be late – and dried himself down, pulling his uniform towards him with haste. He knew that he didn't have anything to take to lessons with him, he thought as he pulled on his boxers and his trousers, because he always left everything prepared for the next lesson in the classroom itself. Flinging open the wardrobe and pulling the first shirt he could see from the coat hanger, he pushed his arms into it and buttoned it up, leaving the top two buttons open. Wrapping his tie around his hand, he made for the door and flung it open, taking off down the corridor in a full sprint, leaving the door to slowly fall shut.

Zero sighed as he dragged his feet into his room and, as the door closed, he leaned on it for support. He felt his body slide to the floor and allowed it to happen, he'd had another weird, long, tiring day. His day had started off for the worst when he had caused a small puddle on the floor, from his dripping hair, and caused a small girl called Yori to slip and twist her ankle as she passed behind his desk. Needless to say his professor was not in the slightest bit amused. Then it moved into second period, where he was usually in his element – being awake by then – but he just couldn't seem to concentrate on the function and meaning behind the complex algebraic equations during maths and ended up staring out of the window, into the bright sunshine. Break time had gave him no let up in the misfortune department as, while he escaped outside to read under the shade of a tree, Kaname Kuran had walked past, looked down at him and smiled, before walking on. The glares from his classmates were not missed by anyone who happened to be in the immediate area. And then Yuuki...well. She'd just been a complete pain. During his last two lessons, both Advanced English classes, she'd been glaring at him the whole way through and, when asked to work in pairs on a transcript, she had asked for a separate copy so that she could work on her own. Zero still remembered the teacher giving him a 'Do you know what's wrong with her?' look, to which he shook his head, concentrating on translating the transcript. Thank God he was good at English.

A sudden knock on his door made Zero jump. He almost laughed. It was only someone at the door, nothing to go and have a heart attack over. Standing up, he took off his jacket and hung it on the peg on the back of the door before opening it.

"So this is where you're hiding then?" Yuuki asked, standing in his doorway. Zero didn't quite know what to think. After today's, and the past week's, epic performance of ignoring Zero, why was she bothering to come and hunt him out now? And with her standing there, eyes narrowed and hands on her hips, Zero began to thought he had done something wrong. He immediately pushed that thought from his head. He knew he hadn't done anything wrong... she was the one who had started to play this ridiculous game.

"So can I come in, or are you going to be an improper host and leave me standing in your doorway?" She snapped and, not giving Zero a chance to answer, she pushed her way past him and entered his room. Zero, still standing there with the door open, could have almost bashed his head off the door frame. He knew that, whatever her problem was, he was about to find out. He shut the door and turned on his heels to face Yuuki, who was staring at him again. He asked the first question that popped into his head?

"What are you doing here?" He asked slowly. She sighed angrily.

"Before you ask any questions, I want some answers!" She demanded, stomping her foot slightly out of anger. That action almost made Zero fall over and laugh. She looked like a petulant child who'd come second place in the cookie eating contest. She just looked plain stupid. But, instead of laughing, Zero stood there and blinked at her like an owl. She wanted answers? Answers to what? And besides, he wanted an answer to why she was acting so weird! He began to formulate an angry retort, but he held himself back. Yelling at her wasn't going to get him the answer he wanted and was so curious to discover, so he decided to play along with her little game and answer whatever stupid questions she had to ask. He sighed.

"Fine. Ask what you want, although I can't say I have any idea what you want to know about." He stated, moving past her and perching on the edge of his desk, by the window. She followed him with her eyes and turned to face him. Her eyes were hard and set. She cleared her throat.

"First, why have you been late for classes recently? You're never late." She said shortly, jabbing a finger at him. Zero sat there and shrugged.

"I've had some stuff I needed to think about and I haven't been sleeping properly." He answered easily. He wasn't lying when he said that he had things to think over, nor was he lying when he said he hadn't been sleeping properly either. Yuuki's eyes nearly popped out of her skull when he mentioned his slight insomnia.

"What have you done to him?" Yuuki snarled, grabbing hold of the front of Zero's shirt and pulling him down to her face, nearly yanking Zero off the edge of the desk. Zero was so shocked that, for a moment, he didn't react, but then he grabbed her hands and pushed her away from him, putting his shirt to rights.

"What the hell are you doing?" he hissed at her, pissed off by her actions. Yuuki laughed.

"What am I doing? What are you doing? Why did you turn him against me? Why did you have to get involved?" She cried angrily, tears rolling down her cheeks. "I was happy until you butted your nose in!" Zero sat there in shock. What on earth was she talking about? He hadn't 'butted into' anything to do with her, in fact, he always made it his job to keep out of her affairs, especially where it concerned her past and Kaname Kuran. He knew that they were both really sensitive so he didn't mention or get involved in them. Zero ran a hand through his hair, trying to keep his rising anger in check.

"Why did I turn who against you? I've not done anything Yuuki! I don't even know who are what you're going on about! He answered, sounding desperate. He'd rather sound desperate than angry, especially to Yuuki.

"You know who I'm talking about!" She replied hotly.

"No, I really don't!" Zero retorted, pissed off with her assumptions. "Since when have I ever involved myself in your business? What you decide to do with your private life is your problem, not mine." He said shortly, getting more and more annoyed with this pointless and pathetic argument. He didn't even know what she was on about...

"Kaname. You know. That pureblood I've had a crush on since, oh I don't know, I arrived here? You know him right? Brown hair, quite tall, part of the Night Class, lives in the Moon Dorm..." she listed, stopping when Zero put his hand up to cut her off.

"Enough already." He was sick of listening to her description of Kaname Kuran already. "I know who Kuran is." He said, watching her face heat up.

"Oh, I'm sorry, of course you do. I mean, you two must get to know each other pretty well at night time." She said, her arms folding over her chest. Zero was puzzled.

"What do you-" Zero started, but was cut off by Yuuki.

"Oh cut the crap, Zero. All of those sleepless nights the pair of you have been having. Kaname looking happier than usual and you acting strangely. It all adds up. You might as well have told me!" She exclaimed, her eyes full of tears. Zero was still puzzled. None of this was making any sense. He just wasn't getting it. Yuuki looked at the floor and decided to put him out of his misery.

"You're sleeping with him, aren't you Zero? Just admit it, so I can go and hate you in privacy." She said, her eyes trained on the floor. Zero, however, started choking up with laughter.

"Are you serious? Me and Kuran?" Zero begun to howl with laughter at the thought of her assumption, and the irony of it. 'You're sleeping with him', he was technically 'sleeping' with Kaname, but not in the way that Yuuki assumed. HHe was finding this whole thing rather hilarious. "God, what planet are you living on?" he asked her jokingly, but after looking in her angry eyes, he realised she wasn't joking. He tried to sober up.

"STOP LYING TO ME ZERO! JUST SAY IT!" she screamed at him, the tears returning. Zero had had enough of this.

"I'm not saying anything because you've jumped to some strange fucking conclusion!" he growled. "Just because me and him have insomnia, you automatically assume that we're sneaking out and having some fun in the woods? Get a grip will you! He's been my enemy since God knows when!" Zero argued, wanting this whole thing to be over and done with. He wondered what Kaname would say if he were witnessing this argument. A thought suddenly dawned on him. Maybe Kaname had already had this argument with Yuuki? It would certainly explain why the two weren't talking anymore...

"I watched the way he smiled at you today. You're telling me sworn enemies smile at each other?" she asked, her finger probing the air in his direction. Zero gave an angry sigh.

"Yuuki. If I even knew or had the slightest inkling as to why the pureblood smiled at me today, I'd tell you. But I don't. And, I'm not going to lie, it creeped the hell out of me."

"Well you must be pretty close for him to smile at you, Zero" Yuuki stated, with a strange look on her face.

"Why does him smiling constitute us being fucking close-" Zero was cut off, yet again.

"They always said keep your friends close and your enemies closer, but only you could take a literal meaning to a phrase!" Yuuki said slyly, smirking at Zero. "Well you know what? You're quite welcome to him. And he's quite welcome to you. I want you both out of my lives for good."

"I'm telling you: WE. ARE. NOT. TOGETHER." Zero said, emphasising each word as he said it. "And besides, you know you don't mean it."

"I do mean it Zero." Yuuki snarled at him. Zero was somewhat taken aback. He really hadn't seen this side to Yuuki before. Had he been treating his friendship with her blindly for the sake of routine and not seeing the real her? He come to the conclusion, in his own mind, that if this was the real Yuuki, he didn't want her in his life anyway.

"Oh, and you think it would be that easy for me and Kuran to just drop off the Earth at the same time do you? That you would never see us again?"

"Yes actually, the answer is quite simple."

"Oh is it now?" Zero replied, keeping his questions short. He was tempted to jump out of the window, go to the Moon Dorms and throttle the pureblood for somehow landing him in this mess. But then, a part of Zero realised that this couldn't be the pureblood's fault. Especially if Yuuki thought that Kuran was with Zero. That meant she blamed Kuran too. Zero nearly sighed with relief. At least he wasn't the only one suffering this horrible -

" I'm transferring schools." Yuuki said with a smile on her face. Zero stopped thinking for a second just to stare at her.

"You're...leaving?" He mumbled, stumbling over his words. He couldn't believe it.

"Yes. You'll be pleased to know I've been accepted at an English Grammar school in London called Chessingtons. So you two can be together all you want. Now, if you don't mind, I'll be leaving. I have a suitcase to pack." She said and, turning on her heel, she swept from the room, the door closing behind her with a small click.

Zero was still in disbelief. Firstly, because Yuuki seemed to be convinced that he and Kaname were 'together' in some sort of strange, forbidden relationship. And secondly because Yuuki was actually leaving. He would finally be rid of her irritating presence. And he wouldn't even have to hide how much he hated her anymore. Except perhaps around the pureblood, if he ever found himself in a personal situation with him again. He didn't fancy being stuck in some strange dream world with a pissed off vampire. He had always pretended to be a good friend to Yuuki, as part of a repayment to her for being so kind to him when the Headmaster had first taken him in, and partly just for the sake of keeping the peace for the Headmaster and making his duties with her much easier. At last, he could finally live a life of relative peace. She should be gone by the next day, meaning that tonight was her final night at Cross Academy. Zero smiled. Things were certainly looking up.

A/N: I hope you liked part one! I'm not quite sure what to think of it myself. Mainly to Yuuki because I never really paid her much attention (I was and still am waaay more interested in both Kaname's past and Zero's future, in both the manga and the anime) So I felt it best if I made her leave somehow. Apart from the fact it fit the plot quite well (in my opinion anyway) I just didn't feel right writing about a character that I'm not familiar with and that I'd be doing any Yuuki fans a disgrace by pretending to know her character.

Please remember there is a part two, which works in continuation with this one. So if it seemed as if it abruptly stopped or a question wasn't answered, you may understand more when you read part two. So bear that in mind before I get swarmed with "What the hell is going on here?"'s xD. Please forgive any typos, this is un-beta'd.

And REVIEW! It makes me move my ass to get you a chapter update xD.

Until next time!
