Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight. If I did, Ichiru would not have died.

A/N: It's what chapter 9? Lol, I'm losing track of chapter titles, and I am obsessed with a song XD. Anyone ever hear of Funny Farm? If not, go onto YouTube and type in They're coming to take Ed away, HAHA, and it should be the first one.

Chapter 9

The next morning Zero was making scrambled eggs on the stove, when Ichiru came into the kitchen. Ivory, who was sitting at the table reading the newspaper, noticed that they did not say morning to each other at all.

"Good morning Ivory."

"Morning Ichiru, morning Zero." Zero mumbled a response, and started making more scrambled eggs. Ivory narrowed her eyes a bit and thought, 'All right, I have a new task now. I must get these two acting like twins again! Although…how did they act before?'

"So….How did you two sleep?" Ichiru smiled kindly at her.

"I slept pretty great. I guess seeing my mother for the first time in ages helped."

"And you Zero?" Zero glanced at her before looking back at the eggs.

"I didn't sleep." Ivory's eyes widened.

"What do you mean?"

"I stayed up all night, staring at the sky."

"Oh. Well, what do you two say we go do some shopping today?"

"Take Ichiru, I'm sure he'll be more than happy to go with you." At this point, Zero put the scrambled eggs on plates and served it to them, before leaving the kitchen. Ivory looked at Ichiru.

"He's not eating?"

"Guess not." Ichiru took a bite of the eggs, and his eyes widened.

"What is it?"

"When did he become such a good cook?"

~With Zero~

Standing on a balcony in his new room, Zero stared at the early morning sun. 'Why can't I stop thinking about her? Dammit, I'm a vampire hunter and she's a pureblood!' Zero gritted his teeth together, and glared at the sun.

"Why…"

"Why what?" Turning around, Zero came face-to-face with Ivory.

"What do you want?"

"Well, I'll tell you if you tell me why you said why." Zero rolled his eyes and looked away from her, and she continued with a sigh.

"Look, I've dealt with your brother for four years. I understand him completely on why he does the things he does. But you on the other hand… You confuse me."

"Glad to be of some assistance."

"Zero, this is serious. Don't be sarcastic."

"I wasn't being sarcastic." He turned around and faced her with a glare, but unlike the other girls he had given his famous glare to, she did not back down. Instead she gave him her own glare.

"I bet everyone thinks your scary here, right?"

"What about it?"

"Well at the Association Ichiru and I come from, I am famous for my glares. So we are evenly matched." Zero narrowed his eyes even more.

"We are not evenly matched. Now what is it that you wanted."

"Don't try to change the subject on me. I still haven't forgotten that I want to know why you said why." Zero yelled in frustration. How could Ichiru put up with her!

"Just go away! I'm not Ichiru ok! I will not bend to you as easily as he probably does!" With that Zero stalked off angrily. Ivory sighed.

"Why do I have to make it seem like that?" She turned towards the door and gazed at it sadly. 'I just want them to be brothers again… Is that so much to ask?'

~With Yuuki~

"Kaname just leave me alone!" Yuuki screeched at the top of her lungs when Kaname was still following her.

"But you aren't allowed outside! We were told to stay inside because Rido has been spotted in the area." Yuuki rolled her eyes and glared at Kaname.

"Oh, just piece off Kaname! I am a pureblood! I can take care of myself if Rido does show up!" With that Yuuki slammed the front door behind her. Walking in the forest around the mansion, Yuuki picked up sticks and examined them before tossing them, and searching for another one. She ended up walking to the same river where Zero had saved her and was surprised to see Zero standing there, gazing at the water.

"Zero?" He turned around, surprised, and his eyes widened even more when he saw Yuuki.

"Yuuki?" She ran over to him and hugged him, confusing him even more.

"Oh Zero! I can't keep you out of my head!" She buried her face into his chest and sobbed silently, while Zero put his hand on the top of her head sadly.

"Neither can I."

"You can't?"

"No. I've tried but I just can't. It's wrong though. You are a pureblood and I'm a vampire hunter. We-" She stopped him by putting her hand to his lips.

"No Zero, you are not a vampire hunter. You are a vampire, who works for the hunters." Zero looked at her and lowered his head.

"I don't like considering myself a vampire."

"But you know it's true. You are one, and you can't change it."

"I could if I killed myself."

"But then what about your family, friends….me…." He looked up at her and saw the sad expression on her face and it dawned on him that not all purebloods are like Shizuka. Putting his hand under her chin and raising her head at the same time, Zero kissed her on the lips softly. After a brief hesitation, Yuuki returned the kiss with a sigh. After a moment, she pulled away and laid her hand on his chest.

"Zero… I saw your twin brother, Ichiru the other night." Zero stiffened a bit.

"What?" Yuuki looked away from him, and stared at the ground.

"Kaname saw him, and thought he was you. Then proceeded to bring him to face my father, who really doesn't like you because you are a vampire who works for the vampire hunters, but Shizuka saved him."

"Shizuka did?"

"Yeah…"

"Then…I guess I owe her a favor…" Yuuki bit her lip, and looked up at him slowly.

"Zero?"

"Yes?" Looking into her brown eyes, Zero tried to figure out if maybe he was a fool for working with the hunters after being bitten.

"There is actually something you could do for us."

"What?"

"Try to bond with your brother." Sighing, Zero pulled away from her, rubbing his forehead.

"It's not that simple."

"What do you mean?"

"It is just awkward being around him at the moment. So much has changed, he isn't the same anymore."

"You're just thinking that. Deep down, Zero, you both are still the same." Sighing again, Zero looked at the sky.

"It'll be hard, but I'll try." With a smile, Yuuki wrapped her arms around Zero in a warm embrace.

"I know you'll be able to do it! I have faith in you!" Zero smiled softly at her and gave her another kiss, but that one lasted longer than the last one. When he pulled away, Yuuki's eyes were half way opened, and she had a little blush along her cheeks. Raising his hand to brush away a stray strand of hair from her face, Zero looked at her lovingly. 'I don't know how it happened….but I do believe you have captured me….' Resting his chin on her head, Zero sighed slowly. Whatever happened from now on, he knew he could make it through….with help from Yuuki.

All right review! I get the feeling that I should not have put in that fluff at the end with Zero and Yuuki, but oh well….I did! Anyways, review on what you think is going to happen next!
