(I do not own Vampire Knight though I wish I did)
The Problem with my Love
Some what OOC
POV: Yuuki/Zero/Kaname
(Forgive me since I like to change perspective. Bear with it!!)
POV: Yuuki
I opened my eyes, faintly recognizing the voice through my haze, and realized we were out side. "Where-." A hand covered my mouth, leaning me against a tree as we sat.
"Quiet Yuki, don't speak just yet." Zero's voice was soft but the undertone of anger was the single most frightening thing I had ever witnessed. He was menacing right now and I hoped he would for give me. "Has she hurt you?" His fingers danced lightly over my skin as if he were afraid he would break me. "You look okay, but I'll look you over once we get to the dorm. He glanced once at my bloody hand before scooping me into his arms and darting through the trees. I noticed the sun was almost completely set and we were no where I recognized.
Eventually we came to a dirt road where Zero slowed to a walk setting me on my feet only for a moment while he pulled a motorcycle out from the bushes. Totally ignoring what he said, I had to ask a question. "Where did you get that?" My voice was hoarse and cracked, I coughed roughly and Zero gave me a disapproving look.
"I bought it last year. The chairman knows but he can't stop me from taking it out. Now get on, it will be faster if we take the bike back instead of walking." He handed me a helmet and helped me onto the back of the slick motorcycle. "Hang on tight!" I heard him yell to me over the roar of the engine as he pulled forward and shot quickly past the thick rows of trees.
POV: Zero
It took no more than a half hour to get back to our dorm rooms which I had combined, moving all of Yuuki's things into my room while she showered and changed her clothes. I sat on the edge of the bed, head hanging and arms limp in my lap. I contemplated how I would find Ruka and what I would do to her once I had her neck in my hands.
The bathroom door cracked open and Yuuki stepped out shyly, shrouded in a black robe as her wet hair trickled over her face. "Zero, I wanted to know how you found me." She whispered, sitting beside me and leaning her head into my shoulder.
I sighed, pinching the bridge of my nose and closing my eyes tightly. "I found a note on your bed after you ran from me. I couldn't follow your scent because you had been in the fountains so I came here. The scent on it wasn't Aidou's or Kaname's like I thought it would be, but it was Ruka's. Her unique smell was easy to follow up until just after the fountains.
"I came back here and got the motorcycle from the garage, rode past the gates onto the dirt road, and your scent hit me like a ton of bricks. It was your blood and my mind began to race, wondering what Ruka could have possibly been doing to you…" I trailed off, remembering my panic and the thundering off my heart against my rib cage as the bike thundered down the dirt lane. "Any way, I followed your scent to a cave in the cliffs near the train track-bridge on foot after leaving the bike in the bushes when your smell became stronger. That was when I broke the door down and found you with a bloody hand. Speaking of which, I'm hoping you will tell me how that happened." I lifted her hand gently, inspecting the thick slice across her palm.
"I was trying to cut the rope from my wrists with a broken piece of glass but it slipped and I cut my hand open. It was nothing Ruka did so please, don't blame her. She only came after me because she loves Kaname but-."
"But Kaname loves you." I finished her sentence with heavy eyes towards the floor and my hands clamped tightly together. "I shouldn't get in the way; I should have never kissed you. As much as I despise Kaname, he is better for you Yuuki. You aren't in danger with him." I moved away from Yuuki and paced the room until I reached the far wall, and leaned against it.
Yuki stood, walking towards me and placing her tiny hands on my face. "Not in danger with him? It's because of Kaname that Ruka tried to hide me away, planning to kill me at the opportune moment. If she knew that I only loved you and there was some way for Kaname to forget about me, then it never would have happened. It's not your fault that I'm in danger, Zero. It's my own." Her hands pulled away and she began to walk to the dresser.
I grabbed her wrist; pulling Yuuki's back flush against my chest. "It's not your fault you're irresistible." My arms wrapped around her waist and my lips rested on her neck, licking at her delicate skin.
"I'm sorry you have been thirsty. I was selfish and made you wait." Yuki turned her head towards me and pulled her hair to one side. The words clicked in my head and I pulled my mouth away from her.
"That was the last thing on my mind actually. I just…wanted to…never mind." I released her, folding my hands in my lap and putting up the usual stony face. "I should keep my hands, and mouth, to myself. I won't touch you any more since it seems I only want your blood."
"You mean, you just wanted to be close to me? I'm sorry if I made you angry, Zero. I just want you to be happy." Yuuki stared at my hands and bit her lip, an apologetic expression on her face. "I'll get dressed and make us some dinner." I nodded, waiting on the bed as she stepped into the bathroom with a black skirt and white button up blouse. We headed towards the kitchen in the Chairman's office and I sat on the counter, watching her pull ingredients from the refrigerator.
"Yuki, I-." I was cut off and cursed silently as the phone rang.
"I'll get it, you can tell me what you were going to say when I come back." She walked out, the door swinging closed behind her as I mulled over my words. It had only been seconds when I heard glass shatter and a blood curdling scream. I bolted from the counter and shoved through the door into the Chairman's office. Ruka stood before the broken window, fists clenched at her side as she stared at Yuuki.
"Get out of here you disgusting vampire!" I screamed, pulling the Bloody Rose from my jacket and firing a warning shot at Ruka's head. It landed in the wall only and inch from her face and I watched color drain from her skin.
Ruka was shell shocked, and stared at Yuki with black fire in her eyes before glancing at me. "You brought her back here! You saved that little wretch, and now no one is going to save you." Ruka's hand was quick to the draw as she pulled out a handful of throwing stars and hurled them at me. My brain was not a fast as Yuuki's in rationalizing what happened, and I watched her dive in front of me as she screamed. I heard five sickening thuds as the points dug into Yuuki's soft flesh.
"No!" I yelled reaching towards her as Ruka glared at us and jumped out the broken window, running from the building. Yuki collapsed to the floor as blood seeped around her torso. I dropped to my knees, holding her head in my lap as I tried to clot the blood. "Why Yuki, why would you do that?" I brushed hair from her eyes and watched a thin smile spread over her lips.
"I-I would die for you, Z-Zero." She coughed violently, blood now on her lips as I clutched her head to my chest. Silent tears fell from my face and onto her hair.
"Oh but Yuuki, I would live for you." I whispered into her ear, feeling as though my heart had been ripped from my chest and heaved against the wall. My anger began to boil over as I clotted her blood and stared out the broken window. "I can fix this, I have to." Picking Yuuki up gently, I jogged from the room and into our bedroom. I brought gauze, peroxide, fresh clothes, and everything else I thought I might need. She lay on the bed, pressing a towel to the gushing wounds. "Yuuki, I'll need to undress you to do this. Just nod if you understand me."
She nodded slightly, eyes half closed as I cut the blood soaked clothing from her tiny frame and tossed it to the side. Her wounds hadn't clotted yet and began to soak the bed beneath her as I hurried to clean and disinfect her.
After thirty minutes of precise wrapping and changing her clothes, Yuuki lay asleep on the bed. Her face was sallow and pale, casting dark shadows in the moon light. I brushed my fingers along her forehead, pausing briefly and noticing the fever that had begun to build. I hated to leave her side, reminded of what transpired the last time I left her alone by Yuuki's shallow breathing that turned in to a cough. I shook her shoulder gently, waking her before I left. Yuuki's eyes opened and she looked worried as she stared at my face.
"I'll have to leave for just a minute to get an ice pack. I won't be gone for even a minute, but if you see anyone I want you to scream as loud as you can." She nodded, and I kissed her hand before darting out the door and down the hall into the kitchen. I felt a sense of dread in the pit of my stomach while running back to her, as if I would return to an empty bed and another note that would tear my soul apart.
In no longer than 45 seconds, I sat beside Yuuki on the bed and laid an ice pack across her forehead. She looked at me, confusion written on her face, and I sighed. "You've got a fever, so you might have an infection." My voice was soft and ragged. I couldn't concentrate on anything as my mind raced to all the "what ifs". "Sleep now Yuuki, I promise you will wake up." I began to hum, random notes that seemed to fit the present moment, while silent tears made their way down my cheeks and onto her hair once again.
Am I the only one who wanted to cry? …Possibly…Okay, so you guys HAVE to tell me what you think of it. I'll knock off the drama for a while so Yuki and Zero have time with out terror, but I have some very dramatic plans for later. I'll be posting the next chapter of Twilight soon though it won't be as long as the first one so I apologize. Thanks guys!!
