Chapter 3


Zero looked at Kaname from the corner of his eyes, they had been walking for a few minutes and the vampire had yet to speak.

'What is he planning? Is this his way of trying to scare me?'

"I wanted to talk to you about Yuuki." Kaname said.

Zero's brow furrowed in curiosity.

'Yuuki, why does he want to talk about her?'

The silver haired teen didn't voice this question and instead stayed silent, waiting for Kaname to speak again.

"I entrusted you to take care of her in my place because I couldn't always do so, did I not?"

"Yeah…" Zero agreed having a bad feeling about this conversation.

"You told me that she would be safe in your care, didn't you?"

"Yes…"

"I believed you when you said this yet last night Yuuki got injured."

"That-"

"I don't want to hear your excuses," Kaname said whirling around and looking at him in anger. "If you couldn't protect Yuuki than you shouldn't have promised to do so. What would have happened to her if I hadn't shown up last night? It is simply unacceptable that you weren't able to protect her."

Zero stared at the other male, having nothing to say. He couldn't defend himself because Kaname didn't want to hear it.

"It's not like I got knocked out by that vampire on purpose." The silver haired teen muttered in anger.

Although what he said would have sounded unclear to a human's ears, Kaname heard it perfectly.

"You're a guardian, your job is not only to keep the secret that the Night Class is vampires from the Day Class but to also kill E level vampires. If you can get taken out so easily then you should train more."

Zero's eyes light up in anger at this.

"Who the hell do you think you are to talk to me like this?!" Zero shouted.

In his anger he had pulled out his gun but Kaname paid no mind to it, he knew that he could dodge the bullet if Zero actually shot at him. He knew he wouldn't though because the silver haired teen would not want to make Yuuki sad just like Zero knew that Kaname would never kill him unless he absolutely had to because it would make Yuuki upset.

"There's no need to get violent. Since you have proven that you are unable to protect Yuuki than I shall take over for you."

"Take over….? What do you mean by that?"

"That's not something you should concern yourself with." Kaname said before turning around to walk back to the Cross residence.

"I admit that I screwed up but that doesn't mean that I'm incapable of taking care of Yuuki." Zero stated.

"That may or may not be true but when it comes to Yuuki, you only get one chance."


Yuuki looked up from her shoujo manga when she heard a knock on her door. Her feet padded across the room before she opened it.

"Kaname-senpai, what are you doing here?"

"I came to talk to you, of course."

Curiosity filled her eyes as she stepped aside to let him in. She shut the door behind him and blushed when she looked at the bed. Not wanting to think about last night she turned to look at Kaname. He stopped in front of her bookshelf and was looking at the titles.

"I see your taste leans towards romance." He said.

"Ye-yeah." She agreed as she fidgeted nervously.

"Are you nervous, Yuuki?" Kaname asked as he turned around to face her.

"No" Yuuki lied as her gaze unconsciously went to the bed.

Kaname followed her gaze and smirked.

"There's no reason to be nervous." He said as he looked at her.

"I know."

"I wanted to continue our conversation that was interrupted last night."

"Yo-you do?" Yuuki asked in shock.

"Yes, why is that so surprising?"

"N-no reason."

"You thought I would just forget about it, didn't you?"
"No."

"You're a bad liar, Yuuki," Kaname stated causing Yuuki to blush. "I want you to know how I feel about you."

Yuuki bit her lip as she looked at him.

'What if he doesn't return my feelings?"

"Yuuki, I love you."

The said girl was so wrapped up in her thoughts that she almost missed what he said.

Kaname watched as her eye's widened in disbelief. He could see it processing in her head and watched as she smiled.

"I love you too." She shyly confessed.

Kaname walked towards her and wrapped her petite frame up in his arms. She automatically embraced him back. He tilted her chin up and softly kissed her. She seemed shocked by the kiss and didn't respond at first but then slowly she shyly kissed him back.

He licked her bottom lip and she hesitantly opened her mouth to him. His tongue swept in and Yuuki moaned at the feeling. He reluctantly pulled away from her and stared down at her.

"I have to go." He said.

"Why?"

"Do you not want me to leave?" Kaname teased.

Yuuki blushed at this and looked away.

"I have work that has to be done."

Kaname leaned down and gave her a chaste kiss before pulling away from her.

"I'll see you later Yuuki."

"Yeah, see you."

Kaname opened the door and shut it softly behind him. He leaned against the door and slowly brought his hand to his lips.

'She tastes better than I thought she would.'

He pushed himself off the door and reluctantly made his way down the hall.

'I wish I didn't have work because then I could have brought her back with me.'


Kaname left the Cross residence after bidding the headmaster good bye and made his way back to the Moon Dorms. He reached the mansion and opened the door.

"Ha, take that!" Aido shouted.

"Don't get cocky yet." Kain said.

Kaname ignored the two playing video games and walked up the stairs to his room.

"How did it go?"

Kaname stopped mid step and turned around to see Ichijo standing at the bottom of the staircase.

"It went well."

"Who will be protecting Yuuki-san now?"

"You know me too well."

Ichijo smiled at this as he waited for an answer.

"I will and when I can not, Aido and Kain will."

"Shall I inform them of this?"

"No, I will tomorrow."

Ichijo nodded at this.

"I have work to do." Kaname said before resuming his walk back up the stairs.

He opened the door to his room and shut it before walking to his desk. He opened the top right hand drawer and took out a picture of Yuuki from ten years ago.

'I should get an updated picture.'

He smiled as he gazed at her happy face before putting it back in the drawer and shutting it.

'I have a bad feeling, I should awaken Yuuki soon.'
