So there was someone that reviewed last chapter and told me that my story was short and I should make a part two. My story isn't over yet, just almost over. I have severe writers' block on this story and I have you guys waiting months for updates. I don't want to do that anymore and the writers' block has made it hard and unenjoyable to write it anymore, so that's why I'm ending it. Sorry guys. Note: this is NOT the last chapter.
Zero had been waiting for awhile. He knew that it would take some time for Kaname to finally straighten out his thoughts but... he wasn't even sure if he had his own thoughts straight... He waited in his dorm room, knowing that Kaname must be on his way. He would come by surely at one time and he didn't want to leave his room. He didn't want to miss Kaname.
However, Zero kept waiting there. It'd been a week since he'd had drink or even done anything. He just sat in the middle of his bed, waiting, hugging his knees.
He was thirsty.
His eyes turned red and he panicked for a moment. He would have to get something. He knew he could never drink. He wasn't going to. He suppressed his hunger and slowly, his eyes faded. He collapsed on to his bed, panting. His lips were dry and he was weak. He lashed out in the dark for his side table, striking his hand on the corner of the wood. Instead of dwelling on the pain, he grabbed for the box of pills, eventually setting his hand upon the box. He ripped the top off and instead of getting water, he emptied the whole box into his mouth without any liquid.
He heaved a sigh of relief. His hunger lowly faded. It wasn't the best tasting, but he didn't care. It was something.
However, that still didn't fix the problem that Kaname had not come by yet. He knew he was going to come... he just had to wait...

Zero was tired of waiting. It was another few days since he had had the pills. Kaname evidently wasn't going o come. Something had changed. Something bad. He had to go visit him.
He arrived at the night dorm, a little afraid of what he would find when he entered. However, he still opened the doors to the common room. He was met by Hanabusa, who silently gestured to the stair case. Zero slowly stalked up them, following Hanabusa, wondering where he was going. Which room was Kaname in? Would he be waiting for Zero's arrival? That part was evident, he had been met by Hanabusa, right?
He finally entered one of the many doors on his left to find Kaname sitting with his back towards him, looking outside at the moon. Hanabusa left them and Zero cautiously approached the chair. What would he say? What was his excuse for visiting? How could he explain?
"Where have you been?" He asked Kaname.
"We both know why you're here."
"Where have you been?" Zero asked again, awaiting an answer.
"I've been here." Kaname answered simply.
"That's not good enough." The silverette stated.
"So we know why you're here, but you have no idea why I'm here." Kaname said.
"I can guess." He was afraid of hat Kaname might say next, but he knew he could never stop it. Not from the beginning, not now, not ever.
"I love Yuki." He paused, seeing Zero cringed. "I have for a while and hat shall never change. I care for her."
"But-" Zero began, and realized he didn't know how to finish.
"And in order for me to fully protect her, I can't be anywhere near you." He stared at the pawn who had now become an enemy.
"I'm not leaving." Zero stated defiantly. "You can't control me."
"Oh, but I can. You know that rose you gave to me that I gave back to you? That was a contract. You gave yourself to me and I signed as your master."
Zero froze. That couldn't possibly be... could it?
" That wasn't a normal rose, and you know it."
"I'm not leaving." Zero said again. "I won't."
Kaname sighed sadly. "Zero Kiryuu..."
"NO!" Zero shouted, trying to stop him. Anything, anything to stop him. Helpless tears poured from his eyes and he stood there, listening to his master's orders.
"...go away and never come near me, Yuki, or this school and it's occupants ever again." Kaname turned away from Zero.
Zero wept bitterly, his head hung in shame as his legs moved of their own accord. He fought them. He needed to stay. They marched him towards the door. In the doorway, he managed to stop just long enough to whisper a farewell "I love you." With that, he was gone, walking off campus and into the woods, towards town.
Eventually, he would regain control of his legs but by then, he would be too far away to see the parting ear that ran it's way down Kaname's cheek, leaving it wet and shining in the moonlight.
Well, I apologize for any emotionally numb people out there.
I also apologize for being gone so long. Tell me what I can do as an apology present, and I'll do my best to fulfill your wishes!
