Btw. This is unbetaed so sorry for any spelling errors. I did my best. :)

So… Enjoy!

Please bear with me in this chapter T.T I'm dissapointed BUT the next chapter will be updated MUCH sooner than this one. Also to most of my reviewers, please bear with the abundance of Yuki and the overstuffed sappines in this chapter. I tried to explain it the best i could. This is all The points of view with Ichiru and Yuki. Then Kaname :)


The two purebloods traveled at an indescribably fast speed. Finally arriving at a place Yuki deemed safe from the threat of someone taking what she also deemed hers.

As soon as the pair had gotten their footing, Ichiru pushed her away and faced her with a piercing glare. He could have separated from her at any time. But at the crazed speeds she'd instantly reached, that would've sent him into an unnecessary collision course with a miles worth of trees.

"Why did you do that?!" Ichiru glared at her once he separated from her; also noting she'd taken them to his temporary home. His eyes widened and he glared even more once a thought came to him. "Did you do this for your brother!" He'd been afraid that she'd betray him at some point, that she'd have a change of heart and stop helping him, so that her brother would be happy. But not when they'd gotten so close, and most certainly not like this! Yuki looked at him and rivaled the glare as her hands tightened into fists.

"I didn't do this for him! I-…this was for you…" She spoke softly and set her jaw tight as she gazed at him, eyes twitching to look down, to look away from the scrutinizing lilac gaze. But her willpower held strong. Ichiru's fierce look hadn't faded, but it'd calmed just a bit. "For me…" The venomous tone foreshadowed a long harsh punishment for bad excuses.

"You and I hated each other..." His reddened eyes dulled back to lilac confusion, trying to piece together what the girl had said into something reasonable or how it even fit into what they were talking about.

"We did..." He agreed and added "but It turns out you're not half bad. We have a lot in common and share the same goals..." He drawled uncaringly until the sight of tears registered in him. Ichiru couldn't help but hold a small encouraging smile as his protective instincts kicked in. Though his mind went into overdrive when he heard a laugh, thinking she'd lost it 'Or did I do something funny?...No thats-'

"That's true. But there's more to it." She cut off his confused mind rant just to puzzle him more.

Somehow, she could relate to his wishes of finding love, and she found great comfort in his caring words, even if they weren't spoken for her. But after a while, she had wished that they would be.

Yuki remembered all the meetings they'd had to both talk about their goal, and just to chat. They had gotten to know each other much better. With every longing expression that Ichiru showed when talking about Zero, the caring words that seemed to come so easily from him, Yuki found herself falling a bit more in love with him... Finally she spoke with a defeated sigh.

"I took you away from Zero-and I couldn't believe it myself .…because I love you..." Yuki stopped herself and looked up at him, eyes searching for...something. Her blurred gaze noting that Ichiru had already calmed down. But he was too calm, like his mind was finding it hard to process. His gaze held a mix of disbelief, anger, and...compassion.

Yuki smiled as she realized that's what she'd been searching for. Her confidence returned to her as she finally voiced what had troubled her mind all this time.

"I love you, Ichiru" Her clear reassured words seemed to snap him out of his daze.

"Don't you love Kaname?"

"I did. For a long time I loved only him. But, how this feels, and how that felt... Its just so different." Yuki noticed his expressionwas cold now, she expected as much so she simply straightened and schooled her expression aswell. 'What was responsibility, the only choice i had, became love to me. Kaname was always so kind and caring... So i thought "This is what love must feel like" '

"I only love you. The only one i want is you." She noticed Ichiru tense and watched, silent as he spoke.

"I can't…I'm incapable of just turning off the feelings I've held for Zero, so long. He will always have an important place in my heart. The most important." Yuki smiled at him, taking in all his words. But she found herself satisfied somehow. That look she'd received from him, it gave her hope and at least told her he understood.

"I realize that…and no matter how much it hurts, I'm still so happy right now. I can't find it in me to be sad for this. It just feels like a huge weight has been lifted from my shoulders. I wont make the mistakes I've made before, I will most certainly not prevent your happiness, but I wish- if you'd let me- to be part of it someway…" Her eyes were gaining a blur once again, but this time it wasn't fueled by sadness, it was filled with joy and honesty as she waited for an answer.

Ichiru looked back at her, stunned lilac eyes taking in the peaceful sight. He'd be lying if he said he didn't feel something- whatever it was- but he'd disregard it for everyone's sake. With a calm understanding nod, he smiled at her and turned for the door. "I'm glad you told me all this. But we must go, I need to see Zero…" Ichiru made his way to the exit with Yuki following behind him, though he stopped as the door was opened "Yuki..…I'll…think about it." With that they were off, and he stubbornly refused to look back at the cheerfully loving expression he just knew the girl was sporting.

The purebloods had separated, Yuki heading towards the sleeping nightclass, in high spirits and hopes of finding her brother there. And Ichiru went of to the forest where he'd last been with his beloved, suspecting and regretting harshly that he might be knocked out against a tree.


Yuki arrived at the moon dorms, noting how commonly silent it was. All the night class members were asleep, knowing nothing of what had happened to their dorm president. She bitterly regretted doing all of this. A frown etched on her face as she entered the large building with those grim thoughts. Though it quickly shifted to confusion when she entered and noticed her brother's aura couldn't be felt. 'Well, maybe my powers are a bit off…' With that in mind, brunette decided to check his room anyways. Yuki made her way towards his room and knocked twice, even with her instincts telling her it was stupid to even check.

When she received no answer, she opened the door to see what she had half been expecting. Nothing, or at least, no one. She silently gazed around the luxurious room that was only fitting for a pureblood like her brother, but found nothing of interest to her situation. With that she retreats with stealthy steps as if trying to not wake someone, even though she was the only one there. Yuki walked down the stairs, not really feeling as tired as she should be, and decided to sit down on a couch and wait a while to see if her brother would return. No thoughts came to her as she stared blankly at the entrance, until enough time passed for it all to sink in.

'With everything that's happened in just this night- or rather-' her gaze lands on an old looking grandfather clock. ' Morning…' Yuki released a defeated sigh and got up as she realized Kaname wasn't gonna be coming back any time soon.

'We hurt him didn't we?…I hurt him' The guilt came crashing down on her in realization, her eyes widening at the thought that he might not come back-

The large doors slammed open cutting off her thoughts and probably the dreams of all the night class members. A frantic silverette came running through them and was in front of her in an instant, clutching at her shoulders with a bruising grip. Widened reddish-brown eyes looked back at frenzied violet.

"Ichiru what's-!"

"Zero's missing!" There was no way to describe the many mixes of emotions she heard in his voice.

No other words where needed for her to understand. She knew that if Ichiru couldn't find zero, then there was something amiss. Yuki took to action, placing a reassuring hand on the panicked silverette's shoulder, whispering a short "we will find him" and turning on her heels to meet the tired gazes of all the night-class members who'd woken to the scary aura of a panicked pureblood.

"Everyone! Kaname will be gone for a while but has left us with a task. Zero's been taken, most likely by a vampire, and we need to find him." Some would have complained to her order so late at 'night', though for the most part, they were already wide awake and wouldn't make any trouble thanks to Ichiru's nearly suffocating aura. So they all took to action, trying their best not to get in his way or even look at the already disheveled pureblood.


Far away from such a lively nightclass, Kaname stood near the window in a room of one of his many homes. Everything slowed to a halt for him, even time. Dead silence filled the large and lonely bedroom. Kaname'd remained in the same unearthly still position ever since he'd entered his room the night before. The brunette had placed a hand on the glass the moment he'd arrived, saddened eyes gazing out to the once beautiful nature he'd absentmindedly destroyed in his grieving. He was glad he hadn't stayed any longer than he did, Zero would have gotten hurt if he had.

The Kuran heir had stopped somewhere out of sight to try his best to somewhat compose himself before going to the chairman's office and explaining that he'd be away for a while. He tried his best to sound calm, collected and controlled as usual but kaien had easily noticed how distressed he was. So now here he was, in the solitud he sought out.

The pureblood heard the door open to show his most trusted bodyguard, Seiren. Though he didin't see her as his back was turned towards the door. Kaname didin't bother to move or look away from the ragged looking green and the torn trees, as he heard her step inside the room.

Seiren held yet another plate of food in her hands, one of the many she had made to try to coax Kaname into eating something. But as she looked down at his desk to the untouched plate of food, she realized he hadn't eaten yet again. The edges of Seiren's lips curled down ever so slightly as she calmly walked closer and placed the brand new plate of food on the polished wood. Then, picked up the old one. "Kaname-Sama..."

As expected, he didin't move, not an inch. She didin't get an answer, and she knew it would be pointless to wait for one. So, putting aside her well-hidden worries, she went off to her duties. The door shut silently, and as soon as it did, Kaname's fingers pressed into the glass. Small cracks forming in it as he did. He muttered something as Zero filled his thoughts.

"As long as he's happy...As long as he's safe..." The whisper could have been heard clearly by anyone who would have been present in the silent room. But no one was there to listen, Not Zero, not anyone..

As Seiren speed off to do her jobs, she wondered if it had been a good thing that Cross had noticed her master's disstress so easily, he was in no better condition now. Though the Chairman had surprisingly had very little to say and was quickly shooing the pureblood away to get some rest as soon as possible, so she would never have gotten the chance to advice a better course of action. Even with the odd feeling that hit her for only half a moment that night, she was sure Kaname wouldn't have listened anyways, in his state..

'His state... Kaname-sama is completely, irrevocably heartbroken..' Zero Hio was most likely with Ichiru Hio right now. She let a glare slip her contolled features. Kaname had been hurt by them, by Zero. The noble found it easily inside her job description to kill him, but she knew Kaname-Sama would not want that. So she simply continued with her duties.


Well that is all for now :) I truly believe this chappie is my worst, after all this was the one that installed writer's block in me for a looong time... But hey! Its up and i do hope some of you are somewhat content with it. And by the way, I want to make clear now that Ichiru's feelings for Zero have most definitely not changed in the slightest and i'd like to explain that the diference betweens yuki's love for kana and for ichiru is quite big(How it started, what it meant, and a lot more). To those of you who understand but are still mad at her, or simply just dislike her altogether, well don't worry, she is and will be repenting quite a bit. Ichiru is a hard one to crack after all~~ And of course you can all blame me for bringing in a brand new arc when the first one isnt even resolved yet. I guess that makes it more dramatic, no?

I would be absoutely positively happy to get your reviews on this chapter. Since i'm quite worn by it, even if it seems so simple. :)
