CHAPTER TWENTY-FIVE: ETERNAL LOVE SPARKED FROM ETERNAL FEELINGS FOR YOU

I was still in my wedding dress; nervous as I stepped in front of the house confronted by the solemn beast that I had fallen in love with. I admired his face with my hand to attempt to calm down the atmosphere that was surrounding the two of us. We stood in the centre of our forest in front of our house hugging to try and accommodate what I had just done. "I'm sorry," I cried into his jacket.

"Don't worry about it Yuuki; I know that I have half your heart but I don't mind it." He gave me a smile that could last for eternity, "there is absolutely nothing that you need to worry about Yuuki. I am happy as long as you make me that happiest person in the world; however clichéd that is." I smiled as I fell back into a hug with him.

"I'm happy as long as I make you happy but I think that it's wrong that you should be okay with me being intimate with someone that you severely dislike. You shouldn't be so okay with it; I am not so okay with it."

"You cannot make that promise." He gave me one last smile and kiss before leaving. I walked back into the house and was confronted with a whole panel of people that were there to protect me from the 'danger'. The panel consisted of some of my old classmates from Cross Academy that included Ruka, Rima and Shiki, Aidou and Akatsuki. They were people that I was very distant from which made the air awkward; I wasn't used to ordering people around.

Shiki was the first person to speak to me, "hello cousin; I suppose that Kaname told you that he loved you and was going to marry you without a hitch; isn't that right?"

I walked briskly away and down the staircase to the basement. I clutched my knees together and cried like hell had risen; Kaname knew how to hurt me and he knew how to hurt me good. I knew that he had a problem with Zero but I didn't know that he had such a problem with him that he would get the nerve to completely intimidate me with his minions. Aidou came and sat by my side to try and comfort me, "I think that we should go back to ground level."

"I don't think so," I looked at him through teary eyes; this was what Kaname had reduced me to and I hoped that he enjoyed spiting Zero. "I'm sorry Aidou-senpai but I think that Shiki-senpai is really wrong because he doesn't know the real Zero. Zero might defy Kaname but I think that he really has a heart in him that will shine even when the whole world has turned evil."

"I think that you're right Yuuki but I don't think that many of these people see it. You realize that Zero is the contradiction of one world and another; he has the heart of both a vampire and a hunter of a vampire and that is wrong. I'm sure that you'll understand the reason that Kaname has wanted to protect you in this way. I'm sure that you'll understand the reason that he has wanted to marry you so quickly as well. I assure you that he loves you more than you can comprehend." His speech had filled me with many thoughts that were of both hatred and liking. I was appreciative of Kaname protecting me that way and that he respected me and my thoughts.

"Do you want to go back up there?"

"I don't think that I can; after what Shiki said to me."

"Don't sweat it; Shiki's sometimes just as arrogant as Kaname sometimes is." He hugged me to calm me; I sometimes thought that Aidou was the only friend that I really had other than Kaname in the Night Class.

It was the day of the wedding and I had thought about what Zero said; marrying someone that didn't want my answer to that question. There was something very interesting to me though; Kaname and his thoughts about the future of the two of us. It was true that we could wait for eternity.

Eternity was the time that I had to spend with him; although this was not same with Zero. I clutched at the guardian armband from Cross Academy; it was the thing that reminded me of Zero the most and gave me the memory of his stark face. I would be able to spot both Zero and Kaname in a crowd of thousands because I loved the both of them. It was much of a turnaround on Zero's behalf causing me to forgive him and to actually fall for him. I still wanted to be with Kaname though.

I pulled the armband apart angrily and weaved it through my hair; it was something old. I already had something blue and that was me; the something new would be the love for Zero that I had newly found and the something borrowed would be the necklace that I found that belonged to our mother.

I descended the staircase to find all of the classmates from Cross Academy standing and waiting for me. I guess that Kaname already decided everything; Ruka and Rima would be the bride's maids and Aidou and Akatsuki would be his best men. I wondered what happened to Ichijou though; the last that I had seen of him was before I left Cross Academy a lonely person.

Kaname was waiting for me at the door and held onto my arm as we walked out to the actual ceremonial place. He glanced at the armband that was weaved in my hair, "that's him; isn't it?" I gave no answer and he unexpectedly didn't reiterate either. I took no notice of what he said; hoping that it would go away.

I was new to this kind of ceremony and thus I didn't know what to do but Kaname guided me as to what to do. Our classmates wouldn't see anything; they were as he had said; pawns just to protect me. "It's not the official ceremony that you thought that it would be; is it Yuuki?"

"No..."

"It involves something that we have already done but it was because I saw the opportunity to do a ceremony like mortals that I wanted to do this with you. Lie down Yuuki." I lied down on the ground and presented my body to him; I already knew what was coming next. I smiled tentatively as he pinned my arms down and kissed me before setting his fangs into my neck.

He motioned for me to do the same as he flung himself onto the ground as to inflict some sort of punishment on himself. "I'm sorry Yuuki but I don't love you any less." I wish that he would. I hungrily drew blood from him as his body drew me to him and his heart. Strands of my hair flung onto his face but he tucked them behind my hair and showed me the same kind of caring that he had shown before he had known. I didn't care whether this man had lied to me or not; I only cared that I would spend eternity with him.

END OF CHAPTER TWENTY FIVE AND END OF THE SERIES

Thank you for reading and I hoped that you enjoyed the ending; although it's sort of not unexpected that Kaname would love Yuuki through anything :S. Sorry for the chapter that was the supposed ending.
