Chapter 3: You're better than a teddy bear.

Zero huffed to himself as he pulled out yet another one of Yuuki's many suitcases from the back of the sporty S.U.V. the Chairman had rented. He wouldn't have minded helping out so much, if Yuuki had been doing something too. But no, the Chairman insisted that Zero be a gentleman and carry her bags for her. He shot a glare at the younger girl, who seemed to be enjoying herself on a large, comfy, patio chair.

"Yuuki, you could help me out you know. After all, these are your bags."

"But Zero," she said mockingly, "You should be a gentleman, and carry them for me."

"Or maybe you shouldn't be so lazy, and help me carry your stuff."

"Hmm. Let me think about it." Yuuki said, pretending to be deep in thought. After a few seconds, she replied with a simple "No" and walked back inside. Zero gritted his teeth. He swore that if he ever ended up in an insane asylum, it would be because of her.

------

"Well, Children, I'm off to go into town for a few hours." The Chairman announced, walking into the living room where his "children" were currently dwelling. "I'll be back around 10:00."

Yuuki looked up from the latest edition of 'Pureblood Monthly' she had been reading. "What? Why so late father?" They had just gotten there, and now he wanted to leave? What could possibly be so important?

The Chairman hesitated slightly. He didn't know what to tell her. The truth was, there was yet another Level E, but he couldn't tell her that. The last thing he wanted to do, was stress out his children while they were on vacation. All he wanted was for them to have a good time, without their prefect duties getting in the way of that. So, he simply told her it was a "surprise." And with that, he left.

Yuuki let out a worried sigh. Something wasn't right. But, she knew that if her father had wanted her to know, he would have told her. So, she picked up her magazine, and began to read again.

Zero, glanced over at Yuuki. He knew that she was worried, and she had every reason to be, but he didn't want her to get stressed out either. This was their vacation, after all. "Hey, Yuuki."

Yuuki looked up, her brown eyes meeting amethyst ones. "What?"

"Do you want to go to the lake?"

"Zero," she said matter of factly, "We're already at the lake. That's kind of why there's this huge body of water in our backyard." Honestly, sometimes, he can be so slow.

Zero rolled his eyes. "I meant, do you want to actually get in the water, stupid."

Yuuki's eyes lit up. "Really?" She had been wanting to go since they had gotten there, but they hadn't had anytime, with all the unpacking that had been going on.

He smiled. "Yeah. Really."

Yuuki sprang up from her spot, and began to head towards her room. "Okay! I'll be ready in a few minutes! Promise!"

Zero sank back into the couch he had been reclining on. He knew a few minutes, really meant a few hours.

-----

Knock Knock.

"Hey, Yuuki, you almost done?" A muffled voice called from the opposite side of the door. "It's been at least thirty minutes now."

"Yeah, I'm almost done Zero." She called, "I just need to finish tying this up, and then I'll be out."

"Are you sure you don't need any help?"

Yuuki sighed. The bow came undone for the fifth time. She walked over to the door, being careful to hold up the two loose ends tight enough so she wasn't exposed. Carefully, she turned the doorknob, allowing the silver haired vampire to enter.

Smirking, he walked behind her, grabbing the black polyester laces from her hands. He began to skillfully weave a perfect bow onto the back of her neck.

"Done."

Yuuki turned to the mirror, making sure her swim suit didn't need adjusting. After a few turns, and poses, she finally decided that it was good enough.

"Thanks Zero."

----------

"Oh my god no!" Yuuki shrieked, just before Zero lifted her small frame up into the air, then threw her down into the body of water.

Gasping for air, a now soaked Yuuki, glared at Zero. "It's freezing in here!" She cried, wrapping her pale arms around her bikini clad body.

Zero smirked, "Well, you said you wanted to get in…"

"Not like that!"

"Ah, well, see Yuuki. That was your fault." He smirked, sitting on the dock, "Next time you should be a little more specific."

Just as she was about to curse him under her breath, something caught her eye. She began to slowly, but stealthily make her way over to the dock, being careful not to seem suspicious.

"Yeah, I guess you're right, Zero. Maybe I should be more specific." She said, slowly moving her arm to the dangling pale foot beside her. "I never really thought about that before. I'm so glad that I have you to teach me these things."

"Of course I'm right, Yuuki. I'm al-OH SHIT!" He screamed as she yanked on his leg, causing him to plunge into the icy water surrounding them.

Yuuki erupted into uncontrollable laughter.

"Yuuki that isn't funny!" Zero gasped, trying to pull himself together, but it was hard; the water was cold. He was really pissed off now.

Yuuki waded over to him, being careful, not to anger him anymore. She forgot that he absolutely hated the cold. And even though he did it to her first, she still felt bad. That's just the kind of person she was. "I'm sorry, Zero. I really shouldn't have gone that far."

"It's all right," He mumbled, trying to ignore the fact that a soaking, bikini clad girl, was standing so close to him. He had to admit, even though they were best friends, she looked good. Damn good.

-------

"You know, Zero. I'm really glad I threw you in the water." Yuuki stated happily, as she continued to stare up at the stars. Her and Zero decided to get out of the water awhile back, because, well, it was too cold. So, they had been sitting on the dock, talking and watching the sky, and just enjoying the presence of one another.

"Oh yeah, why?"

Yuuki grinned, as she snuggled closer to him, enjoying the warmth radiating from his body. "Because, now we get to snuggle together for warmth!"

Zero blushed, trying hard not to smile. She was so innocent, it was adorable. If only she knew what she was saying. Of course he didn't care about that, because he loved it when they were like this. When they showed affection towards each other. But even though he enjoyed every minute of it, he was still Zero, and he had a reputation to uphold. "Yeah, yeah, yeah. Get off of me would you? What am I to you? A teddy bear?"

"No, you're Zero. That's better than all of the teddy bears in the world." She said absentmindedly twirling a long strand of hair around her finger. Her eyes looked heavy like she was about to fall asleep. She was beginning to grow tired, because when she was tired, she usually said things that made absolutely no sense at all.

So, after about fifteen minutes, when she was completely knocked out, he had decided to take her inside.

"Goodnight, Yuuki." He whispered as he gently shut the door behind him.

"Goodnight Zero."
