Taking back my love

Pairing: ZeroxYuuki

Disclaimer:VK belongs to Matsuri Hino. This story is inspired by "Taking back my love" by Enrique Iglesias.

You both stand, facing each other. You look at your former best friend. She's so different now. Her hair's longer, just like it was four years ago, when you first met each other. Her confused eyes look guiltily at you. "If you're okay then...That's goo--" You stop her from saying it. Those are words of farewell. You don't want to say goodbye, you don't want her to leave you, so you pull her into your arms.

It feels like old times, when you had to protect that clumsy girl everyday. But something feels different. She feels different. Colder. "The Yuuki I know... Is she inside you?"

"She is..." You want to stop listening after that. You don't want to know how your Yuuki and his Yuuki are becoming one. You don't want to hear how she only desires his blood, how her mind is only filled with thoughts of him.

You feel disgust. You're disgusted with yourself. You want her so much, you give in to temptation and bite her. You want to drink every drop of her blood, but you can't. You won't. You look into her eyes. They look so much like his. You don't like how they look now. However, for a moment in time, you see your Yuuki in them. But it's just for a moment, and you know that she will disappear immediately.

And so you kiss her goodbye, before she's lost forever.

You hug her again protectively and ask if she's okay now, if she's happy, if she's not afraid anymore. She says yes, and you feel your own worries melt away, replaced by a warm numbness. There's nothing tying you to this place any longer. She's not here anymore. "Go be next to...the man who can spend eternity with you. But..."

You wish to say you love her, but you don't. You don't love her. You love Yuuki, the old Yuuki, the one that took care of you four years ago. The one that has been devoured by this...this monster. It merely looks like Yuuki. You'll kill it the next time you meet each other, because she's killed your Yuuki.

You both walk away, taking opposite directions, silently praying that you'll never see each other again.

A/N:I know, it doesn't look anything like the song, but hey, that's the idea that it gave me, and there's small parts that tie in with the lyrics :p. This story is set after Rido is defeated, and Zero's feelings are changing, he's sort of taking back his love for Yuuki, since she's no longer the girl he knew.

Please review, and don't forget that I take requests ^_^
