Hey guys, it's already the 3rd day of the sixth month of 2013! Time flies doesn't it? Only a few months ago it was January. Anyways, since I don't really have much to say, here are the replies to the reviews I got. The amount was really surprising xD I agree on your thoughts on VK's last chapter guys! I only have one thing to say : YuMe will forever be in our hearts, that's certain.

Reviews ^^ :

Guest - I'm sorry it was rather confusing ^^" I hope this chapter is okay? :D

Guest - Wow really? If you ever publish it, please PM me the link :D It's really nice to hear that you were inspired! Thank you for your support on this story!

asuna miyamoto - Thanks :) I agree, it was a rather bittersweet ending. A new short 'chapter' has been released. It's about fan letters and it's like 2 pages .-. lol. You could check that out ^^

Guest - I believe that pair was Kaito and Yori. I always thought it would maybe be Aidori (Aido x Yori) xD Haha. Ichijou and Aido are M.I.A so to speak lol. Also, I'll try my best to incorporate any Kaien scenes that are light :D

Guest - Thanks bro xD

Glitterandstarz - Hmm, I think some people have done that :)) I've read one on Kaname's P.O.V. It was quite okay :D

Guest - Haha, I promise I won't make it two months later before I update xD Thanks for your support :)

A Fan - I agree, it was not one of the best endings, but I would say it's okay... Not acceptable but you know what I mean XD

Danime95 - That's alright x3 This isn't a YuMe fanfic for nothing ;) I'll make sure to add in LOTS AND LOTS of YuMe scenes (as much as the storyline will allow xD) I'm sure her children are old enough to take care of themselves, although I think they were a bit indifferent about the fact that she was going to sacrifice herself for Kaname. I hope that the daughter is in fact Kaname's :D

.o - Don't we all ^^ I will make sure they have a happy ever after :D

Jaynie - Hehe :D Thank you :3 I'll be working on the KWMS fanfic soon :D

DaisukixLove - Thanks for taking time to read this! :3 It really means a lot to me ^.^

YennicaTorez - Hehe :3 Summer holidays are the best~ I'm sure you're out by now though xD

BookWormMissy - Aww, don't think about it too much :( You're welcome :D Please enjoy :DD

Thanks for all your reviews guys, all your insight on the last chapter was really fun to read :3

Anyways, please enjoy this (hopefully longer) chapter Fourteen :D~


"Who do you want to see Yuki?" Zero said as he trailed behind her. "Stop following me Zero, I promise, I'll leave! After I see this person anyways. Don't worry about me." Yuki said as she flashed him a genuine smile, hoping he'll get the message. "Are you serious? At this time you still want to run off?" Annoyance written all over his face. "I'm sorry Zero-nii! I'll call you later!" she said, running off down the street. She'd caught a cab and disappeared in to the rush hour traffic.


※ Zero's P.O.V

There was no doubt that Yuki was one heck of a stubborn girl. He sighed as he got into the car and went back to the hotel he was staying at. Their father would be here in less than twenty-four hours, hunting down Level E's and turning Paris upside down to find them and yet, she was still so confident that she wouldn't get caught. That was Cross Yuki for you, she had no fear of anything other than spiders. As he made his way up to his room, Ichiru was already there.

"Zero. Any trace of Yuki?" his brother said, also wondering where their younger sister was. "Well I found her that's for sure. Just that she's staying in a very expensive looking apartment complex and she refuses to leave."

"What? She knows that Kaien is coming. Does she want to go back home?"

"There must be something that's keeping her here. She might not be afraid of getting caught but she's more afraid of our father more than the two of us combined will ever be."

"There's nothing we can do if she doesn't want to leave right away you know. We can't exactly tie her up and put her on the next flight out of the country."

"You know..." Zero trailed off and before he could continue, Ichiru sighed, "No Zero. We can't do that. She's got feelings too. How would you feel if Yuki and I tied you up and put you on a flight to who-knows-where?"

"That possibility would never happen. Why? That's because I'd definitely escape and kill the both of you."

"Well anyways, what do we do now?"

"I'm not responsible if she is caught by Kaien."

"I expected as much." Ichiru said as he flopped down on his bed. "To think I thought you were going to be a responsible older brother and take responsibility for her blunder.

"Oh you wish." Zero muttered as he sat down on the couch, looking out on the magnificent view of Paris' skyline.


The only person she wanted to see was Kaname. Just to tell him she was leaving. Or not. She didn't know any more. One thing was for sure though, her throat was feeling dry. Really dry. She stopped a few blocks from the office and headed to a nearby convenient store to buy a bottle of water. After finishing half the bottle, her thirst was far from quenched. She hated the feeling, her throat felt as rough as sandpaper. It was killing her. As tagged her ID on the scanner, she made her way up to Kaname's office. Ichijou was there and they seemed to be deep in conversation.

"There is nothing. You have offered your family's help; the Elder Council has requested the help of the Hunter's Association. Surely this is more than enough?" Kaname's voice was familiar to her ears.

"It would be more effective if they had your help surely. You are the leader of the Elder Council, as everyone else has so demanded. It is only right if you helped to get rid of the Level E's." Ichijou persuaded.

"I'll play my part when everyone else plays theirs."

She looked in to see Ichijou retreating, "As you wish... Kaname. I hope you aren't making the wrong decision." That was all he said before leaving the room. Yuki hid in the corner, unable to move, until he called her out, "Yuki, you can stop hiding now."

Had he seen her somehow? That was impossible, she hadn't revealed herself to either of them. Embarrassed and caught red-handed, she stepped out of hiding and into his office. He looked at her, and his usually burgundy eyes turned a deeper shade of red.

Just like that time...

Oh why did her mind have to mention 'that' time? Her cheeks flushed up just at the thought of it. "Yuki, why are you blushing?"

"Uh.. uh... Nothing. Just remembered a time where Aido-senpai told me a funny joke.. Haha."

She would've slapped herself right there and then. She was such a terrible actor. No wonder she didn't get that part in pre-school. He was still staring at her, a smirk on his face. Oh geez. Then, she noticed that there was a glass of what looked like red wine. "Have you been drinking?" she asked worriedly. Drinking not only could turn you alcoholic, you could get brain damage. "It's not wine..."

"Then what is it?" she asked curiously. "It's a substitute for wine..." he said casually.

A substitute? Does he have a drinking problem or something?

"Kaname, the real reason I am here is to tell you I'll be taking the week off."

"A week? Where to?"

"Oh... uhh..."

She couldn't lie to him. No matter how hard she tried. So she sucked in a deep breath and let it out, "Actually, my father is coming."

"Your father?"

"Yes, he's with the Hunter's Association."

"I see."

Was there going to be a problem? "You're not mad I didn't tell you or anything right?"

"I'm not. It wasn't as if I didn't know who you are."

"What do you mean?"

"I know you are Cross Yuki. Daughter to Cross Kaien. Sister to Zero and Ichiru."

So he did know...

She could barely look at him. She didn't want anyone to know that. The last person she'd wanted to know had already found out... Before she could feel anything else, or feel any regret in the least, she could only feel the burning dryness of her throat. She polished off the rest of the bottle of water but had yet to feel the relief that it brought.

What the hell is going on with me?


It's a bit short but I'll be updating slightly more often alright? :D I hope that's OK with you guys xD

I've watched Angel Beats lately... Otonashi and Tachibana *cries in the corner*

Ja ne!~
