Hey people so I have come to a decision that I will put up the last chapters within the next few days. My reason being that my summer break starts next week on Friday. If any of you have been paying attention then you will know that I can only update from school. Thus I will no longer ask for reviews although they are greatly appreciated, I wanted to ask you guys what you want me to do when I finish so that I may work on it over the summer. Your choices are the following:
-A new KanameXYuki story in an alternate universe
-A new KanameXYuki story that follows canaon (canaon may be out of order depending on the story I create)
-A series of fluffy one-shots of the past Yuki and Kaname shared together in this story
There will be no sequel to Twist of Fate because I do not have any ideas for one, sorry.
Tell me what you want and I will see what I can do. If you have any suggestions then please PM me or write a review. Thank you for your patience and time, enjoy the chapter.

Chapter 14: Thorny Kiss
I was now running through the empty halls, tears streaming down my face. The truth really does hurt. Of course he would never love me he just wanted me to become his lover so he could protect me. Sure I know that he cares about me but if he wanted to protect me then he should tell me what he is protecting me from!
"Why are you crying?" A concerned voice asked.
I turned to see Kaname-senpai standing under the shade of a tree. He began walking towards me until he was right in front of me.
"Why are you crying?" He asked again as he cupped my cheek.
"It's nothing." I mumbled.
"If it was nothing you would not be crying." He retorted, "so tell me, what is wrong my dear?" He asked in a tender tone.
"Can we talk somewhere else?" I asked since I did not want to have this conversation where it could be heard by others.
"Alright." He said and he took me to the fountain, for some reason no one really comes near it. "what's wrong Yuki? Why were you crying?" He asked once more.
I wiped away my last remaining tears, "When I think about it, I start to understand your actions a little bit. Telling me that you love me, making me your lover, and having some of the senpai's protect me. It all connects like pieces of a puzzle."
He gave me a confused look, "Then what do you think you understand about my actions?"
I looked down on the ground, unable to face him, "You did it all to protect me. All the things you did link back to my missing past. You said you would tell me about my past if I became your lover. I did that and then you ordered Aido-senpai and the rest to protect me. From what though? That must have something to do with my past as well." Finally I looked up to him, "Is something going to happen to me? Please answer me Kaname-senpai!" I exclaimed.
Suddenly I had a flash of the woman covered in blood. It the background I could hear a child.
"Scary, scary, that scary vampire is going to eat me! Help! Help!"
Another voice could also be heard. "You cannot escape."
"No! Help me!"
"You cannot escape."
"No! Noooooo…" The child's voice trailed off as a maniacal laughter filled my mind and I felt an ear splitting pain in my head.
I clutched my head as I lost all strength in my knees.
"Yuki?" Kaname-senpai said my name with a worried tone, but his voice began to fade, "Yuki!" He said as he caught me before I could fall.
Before I fell into oblivion I said one thing, "Kaname-senpai, why do you look at me, with such loneliness in your eyes?"
I was dreaming again. Everything was dark and all I could see were the same eyes that have continued to haunt me for a while now. Usually all they did was stare at me but recently the would tell me one thing.
"I will devour you." That phrase was what they would say to me every night. That one phrase would send shivers down my spine. Sometimes a bloodstained hand would reach out and try to grab me. Those night were the ones I woke up screaming and tonight was one of those nights.
"Ahhhhhh!" I awoke with a jolt. My entire body was trembling and my teeth would not stop chattering. Worse of all I was having hallucinations of blood again. Only this time it was worse than all the other times. Blood was everywhere the walls, the furniture, and on my hands. The smell was everywhere and I could feel the wet warmth of the blood on my hands.
"Yuki?" I heard someone, who I identified as Zero call from the door.
He entered the room with Ichiru-kun, "Yuki-san are you alright?" Ichiru asked.
"Yeah we heard you scream so we wanted to check on you. Are you okay?" Zero added.
"I am fine," I began trying to sound as calm as possible, "I just had a bad dream." I said.
"Okay." They both said uneasily.
"Okay, okay. You guys should go now I need to change since I worked up some sweat." I got off the bed and started pushing them to the door. Once they were out, "Good night." Was all I said before closing the door.
I slumped down on the door and looked around the room again. The blood was still there. Overwhelmed by it all I hid my head in my knees as I curled up into a ball as I began to cry.
I felt the cold chill of the winter night and looked up to see Kaname-senpai in the window. I ran to him, the safe haven that was his arms, wrapped around me as he placed a hand on my head. I purple light emitted from it and I began to feel sleepy.
I heard the door slam open and Zero shout, "Kuran! What do you plan on doing to Yuki?"
Senpai only replied in a short, "End her suffering." I felt a strong gust of cold of wind before I completely blacked out.
When I opened my eyes again I saw that it was snowing, red snow.
"My entire world is dyed in red and things can't go back to the way they used to be. All because I tried so hard to remember my past." I said.
"Yuki, that is enough. It's time for you to awaken, before you break."
I closed my eyes as I felt him lean down to my neck. It felt cold but also warm. My eyes shot open and I struggled in his grasp.
"Kana… senpai!" He covered my mouth with his hand.
Kaname-senpai? Embedded in my neck now are ...what is this?
My body was on fire. I felt as if I was drowning. Everything that I knew was changing. The very fabric of my being was coming apart as he drank from me. My eyes felt heavy after a moment and I closed them.
I felt him wipe away a stray tear and they say, "Yuki, for you, and only you." A moment later I felt something soft on my lips.
My eyes once again shot open as I struggled in his grasp. I saw that he was kissing me, but this taste. Blood? Kaname-senpai's blood! He stilled me and I was forced to swallow.
He pulled away and smiled, "Have you awakened Yuki? Do you remember who I am?"
How could I have forgotten him? I cupped his cheeks with my hands, "Kaname-sama." Our reunion was cut short when we heard the clicking of a gun and we looked up to see Zero pointing a gun at us, more specifically Kaname-sama.
"The smell of Yuki's blood, a smell I am familiar with, but now I sense two vampires! Kuran! You turned Yuki!"
I got up and held my arms out, "Stop it Zero don't hurt Kaname-sama!" However due to the loss of blood my body felt heavy and I began to fall backwards, I felt warm arms catch me before I fainted.
Like a movie my lost memories began to play themselves in my mind.
