Sorry it took so long to get this chapter out. I had a lot of things going on at once but I finally finished it. It a little shorter than the other chapters but it had been so long since I put out a chapter that I stopped where I did. otherwise it would be even longer until I would have posted a chapter. I promise that the next chapter will be worth the wait. Thanks for being patience with me.

Chapter 5

Zero laid his head back heavily against the wall in the far corner of his dark dorm room. The events of the day totally drained him of any strength, pride, and thought; needless to say his was at a loss on every emotional state possible. His worst dream had come true, and it was worst than he expected, a pureblood. He wasn't ready for this, not yet. He always knew that one day Yuuki would become a vampire and take her place at Kuran's side, but he had thought that there was still time, and that it wouldn't happened until long after his decent into madness had claimed his life, not now, not today.

A fresh trail of tears began to fall as he thought of his Yuuki, the loving girl that would do everything she could to try to help others without thinking of herself, for he knew that that girl was gone, taken by the vampire she now was. Purebloods, creatures whom think of nothing but themselves, monsters who started it all, the ones held responsible for ruining countless human lives, his included. His hatred for them was infused to the center of his being so much so that even though he loved Yuuki more than anyone else in the world, he didn't think that he could anymore, and that thought shattered him, causing him to cry harder. She was his light in the dark night of life, his reason to keep on living, the one true and pure thing he had left in his life, and now that was gone forever, taken again by a vampire.

He curled in to himself, hugging his knees to his chest, but it wouldn't do any good. He was too far gone for any self comforting to help. As strong as he had become from fighting his blood lust, this was one pain that was not could be stopped by pure will and determination simply because right now he had no will. Yuuki was his will; the reason that he fought so much to be a better person, and without her there was just no reason to fight anymore. He was weak and he knew it, but right now he simply didn't give a fuck.

…

Waking after a well needed afternoon nap, Yuuki turned over and looked at the face of the man that she now knew that she had known all her life in a whole new light as suppressed memories still flashed through her mind. He still had those to die for looks with his gorgeous hair and totally kissable lips, not to mention sexier then hell perfect body. No, those things hadn't changed and luckily never would. What was nagging her mind was that Kaname was not just her betrothed but also her oni-san and what they just did went WAY past brother-sister love.

Kaname who had been up for a while now but too preoccupied with his own thoughts to move looked down at Yuuki and slightly frowned from the perplexed face she was making. "What's on your mind?" he asked concerned.

Even with everything that had transpired between them these past many hours Yuuki was still a little unsure how to voice this latest internal dilemma. Hesitantly she said, "Well, I remembered something else. That is …well you're also my brother and what we did isn't something that siblings should be doing with each other," she finished with a very troubled face.

"Is that all that bothering you?" Kaname said with somewhat of a smile in his is voice. "Yuuki you've been living in the human world for too long. Don't you remember? Mother and father were also brother and sister. The morals of the human world have no meaning in the vampire world. Think back Yuuki do you remember when we were children and we used to dream of being together like mother and father. Do you remember?"

Yuuki sorted through all of her newly remembered past and came across a memory of her and Kaname when they were kids lying in bed with their foreheads together talking about their future with each other when they would be grown up. As she looked into her mind, Yuuki smiled at what she saw. It was a happy memory, one that felt full of love and warmth. Yuuki looked up into Kaname's eyes and replied, "Yes, I remember. I also remember that the time I spent with you back then was when I was the happiest. I can't believe that I would ever forgotten such a thing," with a smile on her face as she finished.

Kaname smiled as he heard her words as well for he felt the same exact way and pulled her into a close tender embrace. "I would have to agree with you on that one. My best times were always when I was with you," he said and kissed the top of her head.

Suddenly Yuuki jumped up out of Kaname's hold all wide eyed and worried. "O my God! Zero!" What had happened came back to her hitting her like a ton of bricks. "Kaname, Zero was here this morning and there was a fight. O my God. I bit him! " Turning desperately and franticly to Kaname she pleaded, "I have to go to him I need to see if he's alright Of course he not alright I bit him! How could I do such a thing? He must hate me now O what if he doesn't want to ever see me again I can't believe I did that I have to tell him I'm sorry I have to get him to believe me that I didn't mean to do it That I don't know what came over me That …that…that…" Yuuki couldn't take it anymore and she broke down in tears, totally ashamed and stressed by her behavior.

Kaname tried to pull Yuuki in to comfort her, but she was having none of that. She didn't want to be comforted not after what she did; she didn't deserve to be comforted. Kaname, being a totally sucker for Yuuki's tears, placed a hand on her cheek gave in to her wantings, and gently told her, "Shhh, it's okay, its gonna be okay. You can go see him right now if that's what you want. Just no more tears now. Promise." Yuuki softly nodded her head and wiped the wetness from her eyes. "Now that's a good girl." Letting out a sigh, he continued, "How about you go take a shower while I go and find you some clothes."

Yuuki gently nodded her head in agreement, still trying to dry her sniffles, and Kaname slipped out of bed, gathered his clothes from the floor and dressed. After he was dressed he turned to glance over his shoulder to find that Yuuki was still sitting in bed. He let out a sigh, telling her he would be right back before he left the room.

Even though it was still early in the vampire morning, Kaname wasn't surprised when he exited his room that someone was waiting in the hall for him. "Aido, can I help you with something?"

The blond that had been waiting for the past hour looked up at his prince with smile and intense eyes, showing an answer to that question that could only be spoken in his mind. The look didn't go unnoticed by Kaname, and he was rather amused by Aido's boldness. Being in a playfully good mood, Kaname walked up close to Aido, placing himself in well into Aido's personal space only a Pocky stick in distance, causing the blonds' heart rate to skyrocket.

Using a very seductive tone Kaname asked, "Than maybe there is something you can help me with?"

Aido's knees shook and his breath quivered when he felt the heated breath of Kaname's words on his face. He tried to find an intelligent response to Kaname's questions but came up short.

Satisfied that he had just caused Aido's genius brain to malfunction, Kaname backed up a few steps to give the blond a little breathing room. Aido was both glad and disappointed by Kaname's retreat, but none the less he did get his mind to form a coherent sentence, "Please forgive me, but I was waiting to see what was the cause of all the commotion in the dorms." When he didn't get an reply he bowed with his right hand across his chest and asked again for his rudeness to be forgiven.

Kaname, just now coming aware that his actions had cause a rippled affect to penetrate the dorm, decided it that maybe be Aido could help him out after all. "Well, yes. About that. I'm sure your vampire senses are tingling, alerting you that there is another pureblood. So everyone in the dorms must also be wondering what that's all about." leaving out the part about the sex because he knew that if they felt Yuuki that they also felt other things.

"Why, yes. The whole of the dorm is quite upset by the vibes that have been emitting from your room all afternoon. I would dare to say that everyone is frazzled by them," Aido said pointingly. He hesitated in asking his next question, not knowing if it would earn him a slap are not. "Kaname-sama, who is the other pureblood that is in your room?"

If this was any other student, Kaname would have defiantly reprimanded them for interfering with the affairs of a pureblood, but this was Aido—one of his trusted circle and also one he would be asking to protect Yuuki as well. "The pureblood vampire that is currently in my chambers is Kuran Yuuki, my sister. You have known her as Cross Yuuki, the headmaster's daughter. "

Aido's eyes widen and his breath was stolen by this piece of information. To think that little Cross girl was actually Kaname's sister was just unreal. Thinking about all the things he had done to this girl he thought was just some human that Kaname was unnaturally attracted to made him want to go shrink in a corner somewhere. How was he suppose to cope with knowing that the girl he was so fond of harassing on a daily basis was now one of the most powerful vampire in the world? Aido looked up at Kaname with large questioning eyes? "How can this be? I thought you were an only child."

"My late parents wanted it that way, for privet reasons. And after their death I was still too young to protect her, but now that I can do so I will."

Aido really didn't know what to say to this; this was the first time that he had ever heard anything like this. Suddenly he knew what he should do. "Kaname you said that you couldn't be with her before because you couldn't protect her. If I may be so bold as to say, if you allow me, I would like to help you protect her as well."

This offer made Kaname's heart warm just a little more—although you couldn't tell by looking on the outside. Kaname had expected Aido to agree to protect Yuuki if he asked, but he really didn't expect the noble simply to offer himself up. "Thank you, Aido. Your offer is most generous and I will gladly except it."

Aido started to beam from both the praise and the fact that he could be useful to his pureblood prince.

"But I have something else at the moment I would like you to do."

Without hesitation Aido responded, "Anything"

"I would like you to inform that all the night class that classes will be canceled for the next few days to help get things settled down."

"Wakate misu" Aido said with a bow and turned to leave.

"Oh, and Aido one more thing. Don't tell anyone about Yuuki just yet there are still a few things that need to be worked out."

"Shinpai ja nai desu. I won't tell anyone." Aido with a reassuring smile on his face and proceeded to carry out his task.

With that out of the way, Kaname continued on his original quest of finding Yuuki some clothes. He knew that Rima was about the same size as Yuuki so something from her should work. Kaname went to the blond model's room and asked to burrow some casual clothes from the petite blond complete with underwear and shoes. Kaname was given weird looks by the two females in the room but no questions as his request was granted, only commenting that these were new items she had gotten while on holiday and had yet to wear. Both girls believed it had to do with what the other pureblood present and the sexual aura swimming in the dorm earlier but both were too afraid to voice a question.

When Kaname returned to his room he found that Yuuki had already taken a shower and was wrapped in a towel sitting on the bed. Yuuki was most certainly deep in thought and didn't notice that Kaname had entered the room until he was placing the loaned clothing on the bed next to her.

"Kaname I was thinking that this is something I need to do myself. I don't want you to come with me when I go see Zero," Yuuki said very meekly.

Kaname was a little put off by this part of the request. He wanted to go with her. It was the only reason that he had gave in to her in the first place. After what he had saw happened this morning he was still felling rather jealous, but being that this was what his precious Yuuki wanted, so be it.

Yuuki got dress without saying anything more to Kaname; her mind was too occupied on what she would say to Zero when she saw him. Kaname watch Yuuki dress with a lust full eye. The clothes that Rima had given him was quite an outfit, starting with the sexy blue lace panty set (Rima had choose this especially with Kaname in mind), to the pleated jean mini to go with a off-white cashmere sweater that hung off both shoulders showing the strips of the bra topped off with black zip up ankle high heel boots. Yuuki looked so hot and alluring with her now waist length hair and that cute ensemble Kaname didn't think he would have the strength to let her walk out the door before he ravished her again. There was no way that she was going see Zero looking like that without him. Kaname asked once more to accompany her and she once again turned down his request. After she had finished dressing, she told Kaname not to worry that she would be back soon and left the room on that promise.

…

It wasn't until the sun was on its last light of the day did Zero stir from his tormented haze. He sluggishly picked himself up off the floor and walked over to his bed. He notice the red rays of the setting sun color his world and thought of the irony of it all. Red. The color of blood; the one thing no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't do without. Blood. The only thing that matter in the vampire would; the purity of your blood. Pureblood. The one thing he hated most in this world; the thing she had now become. Her. A Kuran no less; a pureblood princess.

The last thought brought a sarcastic smirk to briefly show on his pain ridden face. Yuuki deserved to be treated like a princess. He just wished it wasn't by those blood sucking monsters. Zero was lifeless as he sat down on the end of his bed. He wasn't really aware of his actions, just going through the motions for his body felt nothing and it was a well received nothing. His mind had finally stopped processing the day's events at 90 mph and had slowed to a crawl. He became frozen in time and had no idea how long he stayed that way before he was shocked back to reality by his senses alerting him of a vampire right outside his door. He became tense by the presence outside and was surprised that he hadn't sense the vampire sooner but in his current state it was to be expected.

Zero was not surprised however, by who it was on the other side of the door; he knew that she would be showing up sooner or later. Before Yuuki had a chance to knock on the door Zero called forcefully from the other side, "What do you want?"

Yuuki knew that he would be upset when she got there, but it was another thing to actually hear the anger in his voice directed at her. Only faltering for a second, she squared her shoulder, pulled chin up, and answered, "We need to talk Zero."

Talk. there is nothing to talk about you're a pureblood vampire, enough said. "There is nothing that I have to say to you, vampire," he told her acidly stressing the last word. Zero's heart was racing, and he was silently praying for her to hurry up and go away because he didn't know how much longer he could hold it together. Already it was becoming a task to keep his voice from shaking as the pain began to creep back in all around him.

Yuuki was not stressed by Zero's words; she was the one who seen Zero though those first few months when he came to live with them, and she knew that this was his way of dealing with his pain. She wanted to help him, and she was not backing down. If that's the way he wants to be, so be it. She forcefully turned the knob and pushed the door open.

Not expecting Yuuki to enter on her own, Zero reflexfully pull Bloody Rose from his side and pointed at Yuuki.

Yuuki froze when the weapon was aimed at her, but she didn't retreat. They stayed like that for a while; neither one saying a word, both waiting on the other to make the first move. Zero stared at Yuuki taking in her altered appearance, and the new clothes and hair were not helping his resolve. If anything it was only making things worse. She was so beautiful and tempting it only cause Zero's heart to ache more for the fact that he couldn't have her. Wanting this to end as soon as possible, it was Zero who talked first. "Get out!"

"I can't do that. We need to talk." Yuuki calmly said as she stepped father in the room, closing the door behind her.

"Don't come any closer or I'll shoot," Zero said his voice strained as he tried to keep his hand with the gun from shaking.

"No. I know you Zero, and I know you won't pull the trigger," She softly assured.

"Don't be so sure of yourself pureblood." Now Yuuki could hear the ache in his voice, and Zero cursed himself for being so pathetic. Not wanting to appear even more weak he lower his gun to put it beside him on the bed because he could no longer keep his hand steady. Holding on by a thread he demanded, "Say what it is you came to say than leave."

Yuuki took a deep breath to still herself before she spoke. Fighting back her nerves she began, "I wanted to apologize for what happened this morning. I don't really know what came over me to just bit you like that-"

"It's because you're a vampire," Zero said with his voice laced with hate.

Yuuki paused of a moment not sure of what words to use next. "Well I guess that we can call it even from you biting me," she replied trying to keep it lite. "This will just make things better because We're the same now-"

"You and I are not the same, pureblood." The last word coming out like a curse from Zero's tongue with all the revulsion he put in it.

Yuuki was just a little hurt by his disdain for her pureblood status. She knew that it would be hard to win him over she just didn't think it would be this bad. "I've always understood why you hate vampires, especially purebloods. After what Shizuka did to you and your family I don't blame you, I would hate them too. But she's dead now and …you have… you have me. I can't change the fact that I was born this way, but I can and do love you, and I'm right here for you. I always have … I always will." Her voice dying to a whisper at the end.

Those words sliced through him like frozen ice, and Zero's heart lurched with emotion; he had been waiting so long to hear these words form Yuuki, but Why…Why did it have to be now that she was a vampire and a pureblood no less that she'd finally said these things to him. His life, the little that he had left, was now well in the deeps of Pandemonium, and he desperately wanted it to simply end. He just couldn't take anymore today; it was just too much. Pain, confusion, joy, hurt, betrayal, anger, depression these were all the things he was feeling at this very moment, and he felt like he was coming apart at all seams. Zero began to shake violently beyond his control, and the tears were falling just as involuntary as he tried to steady himself by hugging himself so tight that if he was aware of anything he would notice that he was hurting himself with bone crushing strength.

Yuuki walked over to him, took the mess of a boy into her arms, and bent down to whisper in his ear, "And I'm not letting you go anywhere."

Zero jerked himself. There was that voice again. But his reaction time was still too slow, and before he could do anything about it Yuuki had already drew his blood for the second time that day. The sensual relief that washed over him was not unwelcomed as his head began to swim in elation, but it didn't last long for Yuuki was sucking too hard, too fast, and too much. As Zero got to the point that he was lacking blood the pleasure melted in to pain, his body started to protest. He tried desperately to push Yuuki off of him, but being a pureblood she was too strong for him to fight.

Yuuki gripped tightly on to Zero making sure he could not pull or push away from her. The struggle excited her like it would any predator, and she eagerly held on to her prey with every bit of strength she had. When she finally unlatched from Zero, he was in so much pain and misery that he wouldn't have even been able hold himself up if it wasn't for Yuuki supporting him. Yuuki took Zero by the chin and tilted his face to look her in the eyes. Zero could see those eyes again, kuro aka, and nowhere in them could he see his Yuuki, causing him to involuntary shiver. Seeing this reaction, Yuuki flashed her fangs that were still stained red with Zero's blood before she brought her lips down to capture his in a kiss. This was not a kiss of love, but a kiss of dominance and totally one sided. Zero whimpered as his lips were abused by Yuuki's brutal ministrations, causing Yuuki to snicker into his mouth, and when she pulled away she was more than happy with her handy work—a Zero breathing heavy and obviously in a great amount of pain and totally distressed on every level.

"I can make all your pain and suffering go away. All you have to be is accept what you are and do what you were made to do," she vaguely posed before leaning in and seductively finishing, "Bite me"

Zero was well aware of what would make all his pain and suffering disappear, even if it was only temporary, and it was being offered to him. All he had to do was take it, and then all this torment would be over with. He was weak, and he was tired of fighting. Like a junkie taking his next hit, he didn't even think of how he would feel after he gave in to his desperation. Zero pressed his lips to her small tantalizing neck and licked it like he had done so many times in the past before he sank his fangs in. He had tasted Yuuki's blood before and this was nothing like it used to be. The instant her thick, rich ambrosia touch his tongue he knew there was no going back. The sensation of pure euphoria that took over his mind and body felt like a plague of death to his conscious as he became aware that he would never be able to continue living without this sweet nectar. It dulled all the pain and covered him with a numbing jubilation that made his dark hellish world become tempered with sunshine and rainbows. The High was something he would become a willing slave to, and it was something that would make him hate himself all the more for.

The vampire Yuuki felt triumphant in her conquest the moment Zero's fangs pursed her neck. She knew that there was no going back of either of them now; the blood bond had been made complete. He was hers in every way possible, and there was nothing he could do about it. She knew he would hate himself once he came back to his senses and realized what he had given into—his desires for a pureblood, but that only made victory that much sweater. Yuuki smiled maliciously as he let out a throaty moan, and she pulled him in tighter. Zero was hers now, and she was never letting him go.

So ok before you shoot the messenger. The reason that Yuuki is OOC kinda is, do you recall in both the manga and anime when she goes in her head and she fights with a voice. Well that is the personality of Yuuki's inter vampire self and she's a mean cruel b**ch. To me I think it was caused by having her pureblood powers sealed causing all vampire traits to piled together so that the inter personality is one who is pure vampire and a pureblood one at that. What I chose to do was just bring that personality to the surface so Yuuki has a split personality and said personality acts on Yuuki's strongly suppressed desires-because who could ever tell a pureblood what they could or couldn't do. So basically the bad vampire Yuuki comes out to play when regular Yuuki tries to control her restored vampire nature from doing naughty things that she really, really wants to do—she is also kinda stressed at being locked up for the past 10 years so she's just trying to relive some pent up tension right now. Also remember she is a pureblood and they are suppose to be the meanest, curliest of all vampires. If any of you were wondering why the Vampire Yuuki made an appearance while talking with Zero is because normal Yuuki knows that Zero is about to vanish from her life and she desperately does not want that . So the Vampire Yuuki comes out to "help" the situation Semi-spoiler warning. In the last VK manga. Hino-sama is working with the vampire personality inside of Yuuki too but the way she is gonna do it is the vampire is its going to take over her little by little.(or so I think.) I have just been hinting at it from Zero's POV. He is the only one who has notice her voice and eyes have changed but he has no clue why. So knowing this does she still seem totally OOC?
