From Light to Dark

Requested by: Shizza24

(I'm not quite sure if this is what you meant by "angst-filled oneshot after their departure", but this is what my fingers typed up. Thank you for the request!)

After the slaughter of his parents, Zero's world had plunged into darkness; he didn't speak, he didn't look at anyone… he never left the bedroom of the man who had taken him in. The eccentric Headmaster really couldn't have blamed him, for while he was a vampire hunter, he was only a child. Not to mention, his fate was decided for him and sealed, his inevitable descent into the darkness unavoidable.

He didn't know how he could be saved, or how quickly he would fall to the End, but there was one thing he did know: he was going to have to do it alone.

Or well, that's what he thought.

He knew that the effeminate Headmaster had a daughter, and he knew that he was her elder by one year, but he didn't know that she'd have had such an effect on him. In four years, he allowed her to grow close to him, to hit him, to care for and about him… even after she found out about his accursed fate. Hell, she was quite literally the entire reason for his existence.

They were close, and often times, he wished they weren't when she would offer herself to him so casually, so selflessly… he both loved her, and hated her. But, most of all, he hated himself for loving her.

Her… Yuuki Cross- no, Yuuki Kuran.

When he heard those words ("He's my… my older brother!") his entire world – the one where she saved him – came crashing down upon his head, and he felt himself being pulled away from the light she had put back into his life. Because that meant that she was like him; the very thing that he despised and wished to destroy with the help of his Bloody Rose.

Their goodbye was hardly what he'd wanted… he wished that she didn't leave, that she'd be able to stay with him. He was sure if she didn't leave with that bastard, that he'd be able to get over the fact that she was a Pureblood princess. Of course it wouldn't have happened right away, but with the mild-mannered former-human, not a lot of things did. He could have worked on it, and she could have helped him in the way that only Yuuki could.

But no; the light that had lit his world up in his darkest of times had left him behind, back in his own darkness.

And this time, he wasn't sure if he'd find the light again.

As always, please send in requests you may have so that I may write them! I'm running out of ideas myself so, in order to keep this story going, people need to start sending in requests. (Via review or PM; it makes no difference, just send 'em in, guys!)

Here are requests people can look forward to:

-Zeki Post-Guilty reunion
-Zeki wedding
-Kaien giving Zero and Yuuki "The Talk"

That's all I've got for now; please feel free to send in any (yes, ANY) requests you might have! Though, I change my mind from a few chapters back; I'd prefer to get VK-universe stuff, so no a/u if you please.
