I'm back people! I know your all probably mad at me for not updating in a while so i'll tell you what happened. For one I was taking more exams, the biology exams to be exact. I got sick and then my school had our Memorial Day vacation that had been extended because we had extra snow days. Just so you know I can only update from school, I had planned on updating as soon as I got back but the library was closed for the Hackathon (Probably spelled it wrong) whatever that is so I could not update until now. You have my sincerest apologies and I will put up to chapters today. Thank you Chess and Bill for your reviews.

Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight of the characters.

Chapter 12: Lover

The next day senpai and the rest of the night class returned. Zero and and Ichiru also returned.

"Yuki, I have a gift for you. Hold out your hands." He said. I did so and he placed something in my hands. "It is a rose that blooms once every ten years encased in resin. When I saw it in thought of you so I decided to get it for you."

"Thank you senpai." I said.

He smiled and along with the rest of the night class students he started to head for the Moon Dorm.

"Um, Kaname-senpai, I would like to discuss something with you later."

He stopped, "Just the two of us?"

"Yes."

"Then tonight." He replied and continued on his way back to the dorm.

I was about to leave when I was stopped by Touya-senpai.

"Hey, miss perfect. Did you hear anything about Shiki?" She asked.

"Shiki-senpai's guardian called saying he will be coming back late."

"Is that so?" She walked off after that leaving me utterly confused.

Later that night I was taking attendance when Kaname-senpai said, "Good work tonight Yuki, we'll talk later." He have me a smile before walking off.

I nodded and when he left I turned to survey the room. I gasped when I saw that the walls were splattered with blood. I backed up a bit and shook my head and the blood was gone.

I walked out of the classroom as fast as I could to go see senpai at our meeting place. I got there first and placed a hand on the windowsill as I gazed out at the moon. My hand felt sticky after a moment and I saw there was blood on it.

The blood is an illusion. The blood is an illusion. The blood is an illusion. I repeated in my head like a mantra.

"Is it really? You are always doing this hiding from the truth. Hurting those who care about you." A voice resounded in my head.

In the window I saw the silhouette of a person and instinctively I wiped out Artemis to protect myself. Once I had turned around completely I saw that I was going to hit Kaname-senpai. He grabbed Artemis and pulled me into his embrace.

We stayed like that for a moment, "What are you afraid of? Calm down, Yuki."

"I'm … sorry." What had I just done? How could I for even a second point my weapon at him? I dropped Artemis.

He pulled away and bit, "Yuki, what was so important that you could not talk about it in front of everyone else?"

All the questions I wanted to ask came to mind. What were you doing on that snowy mountain? Why were you there? Were you the one who took my memories away?

"It's okay, no matter what you ask me my feelings for you will never change."

"What do you mean?"

"I have never said it aloud before but," he pulled me close once again, "I love you. If it was possible I would alleviate all of your worries." I wanted to say something but my voice did not come out, "you don't have to answer me now. Just think about it okay?" He kissed my forehead and left me standing in the hall.

The next day went by in a blur and now it was time for the night class to come out. As I was doing crowd control Kaname-senpai stopped.

"Yuki, I will be waiting for you at the fountain after classes for your answer." He said as he continued on to the school building.

After patrols were done I headed to the fountain where I found senpai waiting for me

"What's the matter?"

I looked him in the eyes, "Senpai I want you to answer my question this time without evading me."

"Evading? Oh, do you mean when I said I love you?"

"Yes."

"I was quite serious about that, could it be that you actually don't like me?"

"No, I do like you Kaname-senpai! I love you, for the longest time before and now. Even if you are a vampire the same species that tried to devour me. Ever since that time I-"

He tried cupping my cheek but I slapped his hand away."Yuki?"

"Why are you doing this to me? I am fully aware of it now. No matter how much I try I will never be a suitable match for you. Kaname-senpai you had something to do with my erased past, right?" I asked and he smiled at sorrow filled smile, "so it's true? Then why won't you tell me anything? Please tell me the truth! I can no longer live like this! I do not my bond with you to be a way to escape from my past. I want to know for myself so I can become stronger!"

He cupped my cheek with his hand, "You really are foolish. For just a little while longer you could have just remained ignorant and live happily in your little miniature garden. Are you sure? Even if the truth is covered in blood? Do you still wish to know?"

"Yes."

He sighed, "For the longest time I feared that you, the only person that gives me warmth, would truly despise me if you knew the truth."

"I could never hate you!" I retorted.

"Then prove it to me." he moved closer to my face, "Yuki will you be my lover?" He asked as he held me closer.

"No. Let go. Do you think I would give up if you said that? I am tired of being deceived!"

"That is not it Yuki, you are taking the initiative to face me. That is why I will be honest with you." He hugged me tight.

"You're lying."

"I'm not lying. That's why Yuki, if you truly wish to know the truth then you must listen to me."

"Why?"

He hugged me, "Good girl." Good girl, I was starting to get tired of him calling me that. Sometimes it scared me.

Why did things end up like this? Kaname-senpai?

What happened next was hazy Kaname-senpai held my hand as he escorted me back to my dorm room. Once he was gone I plopped myself on the bed as soon as my face hit the pillow I was fast asleep.

I had a dream of the past that night, I haven't had any lately so I wonder what this one is about. I walked around a bit in the building until I finally realized that I was in the Moon Dorm. This should be interesting.

As I remembered the layout of the Moon Dorm I concluded I was in the west wing on the second floor. I walked around more until I found the main staircase. It lead to the parlor where currently some of the Moon Dorm residents were.

"I can't believe that Kaname-sama would take a human as his lover." Stated one of them.

"Maybe he wants her blood? She does seem appetizing after all." Suggested another.

"Who knows? He has shown an odd attachment to her." The first one said.

"I think that Yuki-chan is very special to Kaname." Ichijo-senpai stated.

"What makes you say that Takuma-sama?" Asked one of them.

"I just overheard Kaname ask Aido, Kain, Ruka, And Rima to protect Yuki-chan during the day." He replied.

"No way!" The two said in unison as my vision began to blur.

It all went dark after that. I woke up my bed and saw it was 7 in the morning. School would start in an hour. I clenched my fists, did Kaname-senpai think I was incapable of protecting myself? Why would he even do this?

I sighed, since I did not want a scene to happen so early in the morning I would leave early. I got up from the bed and got ready for school, then I headed out to the school building. Once I got there I sat myself at my desk and looked around the empty room.

I blinked and in seconds the room was painted red. The walls had splattered blood on them. The desks were dripping blood. On the board I saw words written blood.

I will devour the lost princess

That was the last thing I saw before I blacked out.
