Chapter 3

Guilt.

My eye's widened as I was pushed on the bed.

"Zero what-

"You can sleep on the bed." Was simply all he said as he sat down at his desk.

We stared at each other for a minute.

"Thank you."

Even though Zero has a blunt straight-forward personality, he's really protective. Throughout the four years i've known him, he always protected me. I owe him so much.

He turned away and laid his head on the desk.

"Yuuki get up."

"Zero...five more minutes." I groaned.

"Whatever. You're going to be late." Zero said annoyed.

I shot up. "Were late!" I yelled.

Zero walked out of the room.

In Zero's way it meant a silent yes.

I jumped out of the bed and ran past him.

"OHMYGODOHMYGODOHMYGOD!" I yelled.

"That devil sensei is going to kill me!"

Oh yes. I was given the lecture of the century. Somehow with teachers Zero always gets past them. It's not really fair at all.

"Okay, okay everybody! Stand back!"

Prefect job can be a pain. So many people come to see the night class. The crowds just get bigger and bigger.

"They're coming!" A girl squealed.

They came out in their usual formation. Girls screamed from every direction. "Kaname!" one yelled. I blushed instantly. I could feel Kaname's gaze on me. Girls send glares my way.

They pushed their way in front and I was shoved to the back. I begun to fall backwards.

"God I hate this part of the job." My savior mumbled. I looked up, "Nice catch."

He rolled his eyes. "That Kuran keeps looking over here." Zero hissed. I looked up and moved quickly. My face began to burn up again.

"You're such a follower."

"What!" I yelled. I turned around quickly. "I am not!" I protested. I turned a brighter red.

"You're a horrible lier." I sighed.

"Oh shut up." I pouted.

It was around midnight. Around the time when the moon was at it's brightest. I sighed as I sat down against a tree. The forest isn't scary to me like it was before.

I used to get lost in minutes. I remember Zero did too when we first stared out as prefects. He would get so annoyed.

I giggled out loud.

"Slacker." I looked up.

"I was taking a break." I whined. He glared at the building where the night class took place.

"Don't fall asleep here idiot. Once those bloodsuckers know you're defenseless they'll come swarming." In a way he was right. My blood does attract vampires. Aido said it was sweet from when he bit my hand.

I stood up and smiled.

"Your right, thank you." He grunted.

"You say that too much." Zero said annoyed. I laughed, "How else am I to show my gratitude? Zero you always save me." I scratched the back of my head.

"I don't know what I'd do without you." I laughed again. He turned away, he clenched his hands.

"You shouldn't say that so easily." He muttered and walked away. "Wait Zero!" I pulled at his sleeve, he brushed it off.

I was left there standing, just staring at his back. Unexpected sadness enveloped my heart. I turned my gaze towards the ground and walked my separate direction.

I walked towards the fountain where I always am when I needed to clear my head. My body felt so heavy...

Why is it that I and Zero are so close...

But we always end up walking our different directions...

I hate it...

I hate it,

I hate it!

My hands went to my temples trying to sooth my growing migraine.

"Baka! Baka! Baka!" I chanted in frustration. I did the same thing for about a minute or two. I sighed after finally calming down.

I stared intently at the ground, someone pulled my chin.

I was faced to Kaname, our faces were so close. He's eyes looked worried, I think he was saying something me.

Silently there was a small pang in my heart. I'm just not sure what it is? Happiness or...Disappointment.

I was surprised at the last one. Why in the world would I be disappointed with seeing Kaname? Ridicules it must be nothing...

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard Kaname repeating my name. I finally looked at him again. I blushed madly, I'm so embarrassed.

"I-I'm sorry Kaname-sempai!" I stuttered, my face was so hot. He laughed lightly, but his eyes returned serious. "Are you ok?" He asked in his casual nice/polite way.

I nodded. "Of course!" He stared at me for a minute. I smiled nervously,

"I'm just a bit tired is all..." I trailed off, hoping he'd just play along. "How long have you been here?" He questioned. I looked at the sky, it was midnight last I checked...so why is the sky turning a peachish color?

"Not that long." I laughed, greeeaaatttt, he'll never believe that,

"You're a horrible lier." Zero's voice echoed. Why does stupid Zero always have to be right?

I looked down, Zero...

I looked up quickly, "Well I guess my job is over for tonight! I'll see you tomorrow Kaname-senpai!" I ran off at that.

I ran to my room, it was dark despite the evading sun that was slowly making its entrance. I stripped my clothes and was left with only undergarments.

I slipped under the covers and fell asleep quickly.

It seemed like only minutes that I slept when I heard knocking on my door. "Yuuki, honey, wake up dear." The door opened. I ignored him and turned on my side.

"Yuuki, sweetheart, get up! You're going to be late!" My father exclaimed. I sighed, I threw the cover off

my legs felt weak. I began losing my balance as I walked unsteadily, I somehow made my way to the hall way to the bathroom to get ready.

It was so flippin' cold! Jesus someone needs to fix the heater! It november damn it! I was normally frustrated in the mornings. Zero says when I'm half asleep I act drunk. Ugh.

Why do I keep thinking about Zero! It was becoming more frustrating than ever...Kaname must think I'm weird for the way I acted in front of his a couple hours ago. I groaned out loud as I stepped out of the shower and slipped into my uniform.

I quickly blow-dried my hair and ran out.

All day i've been secretly ignoring Zero. Not really because I was mad at him, I guess I just needed space from him. He made no effort to talk to me either,

But why is that when I'm trying to get space away from him, he always end up evading my mind! I guess that's what ticks me off.

Zero get out of my head! I cursed silently. I'm going slowly insane aren't I?

actually a whole week has rolled around. I and Kaname would talk casually, a little more than normal. It made me really happy, I just wonder why now? Whatever the reason may be I really don't care.

I blushed to my self as I walked half naked towards the chairmen's personal bathroom, it's always open.

Unknowingly, what I didn't notice was I walked straight into something, something really warm and soft. I looked up and took two big steps away.

My hands went up automatically in attempt to cover my half naked self. "Z-z-zero!" I stuttered. He wasn't wearing a shirt, it's been awhile since I've seen Zero without his shirt on, he must be working out more. I focused (More like forced,) my eyes to his face as I blushed madly.

He gave me a look that just spelled uninterested all over his face. I gave a annoyed look as I walked inside, still trying to cover myself.

"I was here first." He protested, "Don't just waltz in here women." He said bluntly.

I stuck my tongue out, "First one, first serve my dear Zero." I stated. He shrugged as he walked inside also. He walked into the shower room and turned on the water. Wait...I need the shower!

"Hey you cheater! I need to take a shower!" I yelled. I could hear him smirking. "Baka Zero!" I barked.

I huffed as I was still in the bathroom, I couldn't do anything. My hair was nasty and I needed a good shower. I sat down on the tile floor as I impatiently waited.

I shivered as I pulled my towel closer.

I didn't even notice Zero leave. What ticks me off more is that he didn't even wake me up! That bastard! I still have to take a shower and get ready. All he left was his jacket around my shoulders!

I already know it...I'm for sure going to be late.

And, surprise. I was.

I got another lecture on my countless times of being late, yet, again.

I laid my head of the desk as I listened to my teachers nonstop talking. God I'm going to fall asleep. And, well, I did. "Yuuukiii" My friend whispered in my ear. She sighed as she blew a bit of air in my ear, I automatically sat up straight.

She sighed, "Yuuki, class is about to be over." My eyes widen, "ehhhh? But isn't it still the morning?" I asked questionably. She laughed lightly, "Yuuki you've been asleep the whole time! Are you ok- As Yori was about to ask I sneezed.

"Maybe you should go to the infirmary, ask Zero i'm sure he'll take you." I gave a look that clearly said, don't bring him up.

She nodded silently, this is why Yori and I are such good friends. We didn't even need to speak and we know what is going through our heads. Well I suppose she doesn't know everything, but she always knew if I were sad.

She smiled. "I'll walk you."

I smiled back.

"Yori-chan I'll be fine! I slept during the whole day practically. I'll just take some night quill before going to bed."

Her eye's flashed uncertainty, I pulled her into a hug.

"I promise." I whispered.

The winter was getting colder as it was slowly becoming December. Today was the last day that I and Zero were prefects until after break, and when everyone came back into the new year.

I sort of mopped for this day. Kaname-senpai would be gone for two whole weeks, and I'd be stuck with Zero...

I sighed out loud as I walked towards the Night class dorm. Everybody from the Day class already left this morning, I watched as Yori walked into her family's car. I would miss her as well...

Creeeekkk

I looked up, everybody from the Night class poured out from the Dorm. They all walked in their normal formation, Kaname walked out of line as he walked towards me.

I blushed.

"K-Kaname-senpai!" he flashed one of his famous smiles to me, I became flushed. He put his hand on my head and slid it down to my cheek.

"Yuuki, I'm going to miss you so much..." He trailed off. I smiled as my blush deepened. A hand snatched Kaname's hands.

"Hands off vampire." Zero hissed as he pulled me away. I turned to see Kaname, he was staring back. Not at me, but for the first time I think I saw pure hatred in his eye's. I've never seen Kaname that way, he's alway kind...always..

"Zero! wait!" He pulled me pretty far away from the entrance of the main gates. "Wait!" I called as I pulled my hand away.

He didn't look at me, "Zero-"

He walked away, I just stared at his back once...again. My heart clenched as an unbearable pain overwhelmed me. My body got heavier and heavier, why was Zero holding my hand? Guilt was written all over his eye's...

Please don't look like that. I tighten my grip to his shirt as I breathed hard striving for all the air I could get. My body hurt, my heart hurt...

But why does it hurt so much? I think i'm blacking out, I can't keep my eyes open at all.

Zero don't be mad at me...

Please...

Ohhh Snappsss ! :DD
