DISCLAIMER: I don't own Vampire Knight or Phantom of the Opera

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

I must have fainted from blood loss during the trip to the headmaster's living quarters because I woke up to someone dabbing a wet wash cloth on my neck and shoulder.

I opened my eyes and saw it was the headmaster. "Iris-chan, thank goodness you are awake! Zero was getting worried when you fainted." The headmaster explained. I sat up slowly and the first thing I noticed was that I was out of my uniform jacket and dress shirt and I was only in my black and white horizontal stripped spaghetti strap shirt and the skirt to my uniform.

I wasn't even wearing my black knee high stockings or my shoes! I swear if the headmaster was the one who took those off I will throw the fact he is the headmaster out the window and beat the crap out of him!

"Who the bloody hell took off my jacket and socks?" I demanded. "I did." Zero answered. I looked over to where the direction his voice came from to see he was leaning against the doorway.

I grabbed the couch pillow and threw it at his face. "Pervert!" I screamed.

Zero twitched.

"Well sorry if we had to clean all the blood off and this crazy old man," he pointed to the headmaster which earned a pouty face from the headmaster," wanted your shoes and socks off for some damn reason!" Zero snapped at me.

I glared at him and got up from the couch. I swayed a bit and Zero did a complete 180, he went from bring pissed as hell to very concerned.

He walked over to me and gently pushed me back down on the couch. "You need to stay seated. You obviously are still weak." He told me. I blushed a little and nodded.

Zero looked over at the headmaster and took the washrag out of his hands. "I can take care of her. Go and handle whatever you need to handle on getting Akito Katō removed from the academy." Zero told him.

Things are just getting better for me by the hour, literally!

The headmaster nodded though he gave Zero a curious look before leaving the sitting room. Zero gently grabbed my chin and tilted my head to the side gently so he could see better.

"Are you alright, Zero?" I asked, remembering earlier he had a hard time with being around my blood. He nodded and put a band aid on my neck. "If I wasn't, I wouldn't be trying to give you first aid now would I?" He asked. I rolled my eyes playfully and he let my chin go.

"How are you feeling?" He asked. "A bit dizzy but that would be normal from blood loss, but I want to celebrate now that I no longer have to put up with that bastard." I told him. He chuckled a little and sat down next to me on the couch. "Right now, however, you should get some rest. You can celebrate later." He told me.

I nodded and rested my head on his shoulder. I was already starting to feel tired but I didn't want to sleep yet.

He froze.

"Thank you for always being there for me, Zero. You're a good friend." I told him sleepily. Zero was silent but I wasn't sure if he didn't know how to respond to that or he is going to play Mr. Cool on me. I didn't care if he didn't it and I may never know why.

This is Zero we are talking about. He's the dark and mysterious kind of person.

Just like Kurayami no Tenshi...

I shook the thought off and allowed myself to close my eyes. It's just a coincidence that Zero and Kurayami no Tenshi seem very similar.

The only differences between the two is that Kurayami wears a mask, Zero does not. Kurayami attacked me, Zero restrains himself.

"Iris?" Zero called me. I was to tired to respond. He sighed heavily and I felt him gently push me back so I would be laying on the couch. I figured he was going to just throw a blanket on me and let me sleep, which I'm about ready to do.

He took me by surprise by carefully scooping me up into his arms and he adjusted me in his arms a bit do he wouldn't drop me.

Well aren't we being a gentleman.

He carried me off and I was starting to doze off and on a bit. I felt him lay me down in a soft bed-probably mine-and he pulled the blankets over my shoulder.

I finally fell asleep fully but I swore before I was fully asleep that I felt someone kiss my temple.
