I'm kinda having writers block, but I wanted to get this chapter out really badly. I'm only thinking of making the story 12 or 13 chapters long and then starting a new one, not sure about what though. There's a poll on my page and I'm always open to suggestions :)

Zero should be happy. He had got the girl he always wanted. He was leaving with the girl he always wanted. She was leaving the man he always wanted her to leave. But Zero was not happy. Not even remotely so. His world felt dark, like a gloomy fog had settled into the little town that was his heart. Zero didn't like when Yuki kissed him. Kisses were supposed to be only with the one you loved. And is Yuki loved him as much as she claimed to, why had he always been the one watching her from afar. Watching her with someone else. You can't love two people at the same time. You can have feelings for two people at the same time, but you can't be in love with two. And if you claim to be, you're in love with neither. Love is such a strong emotion, it can't be aimed at two. Sure you can love two people, you can love tons of people. But you can only be in love with one. Zero was smart, and he knew he was being used to spite Kaname, and to soften the ache of Yukis pain. But what about his pain? Who would soften that?

But perhaps Zero could just be with Yuki. Maybe he could learn to love her again. Maybe if he at least convinced himself he did, then his feelings for Kaname would go away. It would seem every single person Zero grew to care for in his life had let him down. The hell with people. But was he really just going to go with Yuki and never see Kaname again. Part of him wanted that. The other part didn't. Zero felt numb. He knew he was just trying to bond with Yuki over the same pain without her knowing he felt the way he did. But he knew that wasn't fair. Yuki had been Kanames fiancée, he had told her he loved her and fought for her. She had every right to be heartbroken and angry with him. Zero on the other hand had just gone and fallen for the pureblood. He was never given any promises. Sure the pureblood had flirted with him, but it didn't make Zero the same as Yuki. So when Kaname kissed him, it really had not meant anything.

Yuki ran her fingers through his hair. "Come on Zero, let's go, let's run away together. You're all I'll ever need." Zero didn't even try and smile. "We're taking White Lily." He said. Yuki rolled her eyes. "You cannot take a horse with us Zero." He glared at her slightly. "Why not?" he asked. Yuki gave him an irritated grunt. "I don't know why you're being so difficult right now! Honestly I thought you'd be a little more sympathetic!" Zero couldn't help but be irritated. But she did have a point, "I'm sorry." He said.

Yuki smiled and nuzzled her face into his chest. "I know." She said. "I know you would never mean to hurt me." Zero nodded and lightly patted her back. "But can we bring her?" He asked timidly. Yuki pushed him away furiously. "No! I told you no! Why are you being so persistent over a horse!? All you need is me Zero. We don't need anyone else, look only at me!" She screamed. White Lily let out a high-pitched whinny and kicked at the back of her stable. Yuki growled at her. Zeros brow twitched with irritation, but he simply bit his lip and crossed his arms leaning back agents the stable door. Yuki stood there glaring at him with her arms crossed.

"What?" He snapped.

Yuki just glared harder.

"What you want an apology or something."

Yuki snorted and turned her back to him.

"Alright I'm sorry."

"That doesn't sound very sincere."

"Seriously?"

"Hmph."

Zero sighed. "Yuki, I'm sorry."

Yuki turned to look at him and took a deep breath before smiling. "I know." She said as she took both of his hands in hers. "I know."

Zeros gaze never met hers. He stared at their feet. Yukis tiny ones next to his. He was a man. She was a woman. They would be together. This is how it should be. Yuki pulled Zero in and wrapped her arms around him. "I'll never let you go." She whispered. "I've finally got it right." Zero wished he could say the same.

…

Kaname sat at the bottom of the stairs staring at his folded hands. He hadn't even bothered to try and head up to his room before he collapsed. He didn't even seem to understand that he was sitting smack dap in the middle of the stairs for everyone to see. No one dared to approach him. The other vampires would just give him nervous or confused glances and continue on. Any wise vampire would have done so. Aido wasn't exactly what you'd call a wise vampire.

"Lord Kaname?" The blonde vampire said crouching down in front of the pureblood. "Are you alright?" Kaname didn't answer. Kain signaled for Aido to get away from the depressed vampire before he became an object of anger release. But Kaname didn't even pay him any mind. He just continued to stare at nothing, his expression completely unreadable, but his eyes were misty and distant. Like he was not present within his own body. Nothing but an empty shell.

"Have you ever been in love, Aido?" Kaname said, almost not loud enough to hear. "What? I-uh no?" Aido replied. Clearly confused. "It's awful. Never do it." Aido gave Kain a nervous look, Shiki and Rima were standing by him, but none of them looked like they were going to be of any help. They all knew something had happened between Kaname and Yuki by the way the girl had ran out in tears, but it was unknown what. "B-but love isn't bad, is it?" Aido awkwardly chuckled.

"Aido. Will you rip my heart out for me?" Kaname said in a monotone voice.

Aidos eyes bulged "W-what?"

"So….painful."

"Lord Kaname?"

"I deserve it, I'm a bad person."

"D-don't say that! No you're not! D-don't give up!"

"Him…with her. I can't…I don't know what to do…feels like I'm dyeing. Like I'm rotting from the inside out."

Aido gave Shiki a worried look. But the other vampire was at a loss for words, he seen his cousin act in such a way. Rima squeezed his arm lightly. "Is it….him?" she whispered. "What else could it be?" He whispered back to his lover.

Aido made an attempt to move but Kaname grabbed his wrist. "Why won't this pain go away?" He moaned as Aido silently panicked. "This pain…it's so..." Kaname let his head fall on Aidos shoulder, letting out long, deep sobs as the blonde vampire silently begged the others to help him with the emotionally unstable pureblood, whose tight grip on him was beginning to cut off circulation.

…

Yuki dragged Zero through the school as quietly as possible. They were lucky enough to come by very few day class students and no night class. "I'm going to go pack up my things." Yuki whispered. "I'll stay here." Zero told her. Yuki shook her head "no, we have to stay together at all times." She scolded. Zero stared up at the night dorm they were currently crouching behind. He didn't want to go in there and see anyone, especially not Kaname. Yuki tugged him by the shirt sleeve with an irritated expression. "Let's make this quick." She said. Zero couldn't have agreed more.

The two slunk through the halls, careful to avoid confrontation. "This is my room." Yuki said and disappeared inside. "You don't share a room with…him?" Zero asked. Yuki shook her head. "Stand watch." She insisted. "But don't go more than three feet away from this room." Yuki commanded. Zero snorted, but obeyed. He stood by the open door and stared down the empty hall.

"Maybe this is a bad idea." He said.

"What is?"

"You know, leaving like this."

"Are you trying to tell me you want to stay here? That you haven't wanted to leave for years now?"

"God no. I just…I don't know."

"Zero….stop it."

"Yuki…I don't know if I can."

Yuki put her hands on her hips "You don't know if you can leave this place?"

"No. I don't know if I can leave this place with you." Zero said turning around to stare at her.

Yukis eyes flashed red "Why not?" she hissed.

"…You've changed, Yuki."

Yuki lunged at him, the palm of her hand collided with his face, leaving behind a bright pink mark.

"Shut…you're…mouth." Yuki growled. "Not another word."

She pushed him away before storming back into her room and grabbing her bag and heading towards her bathroom, she turned and pointed at Zero. "Stay there. Three feet, Zero. Three feet." Then she disappeared into the bathroom.

Zero brought a hand up to his face. The slap mark burned slightly, but Zero didn't really care about that. At least he knew now he was still alive.

"That was pretty harsh." A feminine voice said off to his side. Zero turned to see Ruka standing in the middle of the hallway. He hadn't even seen her approaching. Zero turned his gaze to see if Yuki had emerged from the bath room, she hadn't.

"You're leaving then? Huh, the two of you. Who would have thought?"

Zero rolled his eyes and let out a grunt. "Of course you'd think that. After all, she had 'better men' after her."

"You really don't know anything do you?"

"Bitch."

Ruka sighed. "To think after all this time, you still think he ever loved her."

"He didn't. She found that out the hard way. I'm assuming you did to."

"I was shocked at first I'll admit. But it made sense to me."

"What? Made sense to you? He used you."

Ruka chuckled and shock her head. "I don't know where you got that idea from, and I don't really care. But it's not true. Yes he might have used Yuki. But you didn't really leave him much of a choice."

"What are you talking about?" Zero snapped. "He said he didn't even love her."

"He didn't idiot. She's not the one he was in love with"

"Then why are you blaming me fo-"

"It's you, Zero."

Zero stared at her, wide eyed. Ruka stared right on back. Zeros heart completely stopped in his chest, and he couldn't find enough breath to speak. Rukas eyes soften and she gave him a sad smile.

"It's you. It's always been you."
