Chapter 21 - Frozen Sunshine:
Yuuki's first thought after hearing Kaname's words were: What if something happened to Zero?
But, she realized, Zero is really strong. If anyone had tried to hurt him, he could have taken them down.
It was much more likely that, after their argument, Zero had gotten mad and done something reckless that had gotten him in trouble with the law. He was probably sitting in the local police station right now, and for some reason he had requested her as his one phone call, or something like that.
Whatever was going on, she wasn't getting much information about it from Kaname. Just a lot of "Hmm..."'s and "I see..."'s
It also didn't help that Kaname wasn't turned to face her, she just stared at the back of his head in confusion.
Finally Kaname ended the conversation with, "Would you like to speak to her uncle? Oh, I see. Goodbye then."
He flipped Yuuki's cell phone closed and handed it back to her.
"What was that all about...?" she asked hesitantly.
"Yuuki, Chief Aido found Kiryu's cell-phone on the ground in font of a house that's supposed to be abandoned." Kaname told her.
They found where Zero was staying, she thought to herself, so he was probably arrested for trespassing!
"So did you talk to Zero? Where is he?" Yuuki pressed.
A look crossed Kaname's face that Yuuki didn't quite understand.
---
Yuuki stared out the window as she sat alone. The sun that had tried to offer her warmth had long since set.
She decided that she had only been there for about ten minutes, but upon glancing at the clock saw it had been almost four hours.
"Kaname what's wrong? What happened to Zero?!" Yuuki asked frantically.
"Yuuki, I'm sorry."
Frustrated tears formed at the corners of her eyes.
"What does that mean?!" she asked.
"They found him in the house. They think he killed himself sometime last night."
'I wish you would just drop off the face of the Earth!' the words lingered in her mind.
She scrawled words in the journal resting on her lap, without comprehending their meaning.
Why did I say that?! she wondered, He just lost his twin brother. I should have tried to hear him out... But I--
She held her breath to keep more tears from spilling over.
Her uncle walked into the room and made his way to where she was sitting. He pulled her into a hug.
"Yuuki..." he whispered.
She faintly saw the shadow of Kaname standing on the other side of the room. Where he had stayed after she had moved to this spot. Strangely, for the first time in a long time, she just wanted to be alone.
The person who had promised not to tell anyone her secrets had kept his promise. He had carried her secrets to the grave with him.
Bad news came in different ways for everyone, but it always came sometime. Bad news always found Yuuki Cross through the phone.
