When Fate is Betrayed
A/N: GOOD NEWS! I got back to typing! I will put some effort, depends on how I feel… yawn… Anyways, sorry for my really, really late update! I know I left it on a huge cliffhanger and I know my readers are all like "ahh!" about it. And I have a lot of homework and I just took my history test. I missed three! Yay! An A! Ahem, sorry… Just happy, might get a new action figure… Later… I wanna get Advent Children Sephiroth before my cousin does (I doubt he'll get him!). I was feeling inspired. Playing Splinter Cell Pandora Tomorrow (the train mission) actually inspires me only for this story. And so does playing My Sims Kingdom for DS. Yeah, I am a weird author that gets inspired by the weirdest things! Wow, I actually have to go and see where I left off on my story! Wow… I forgot! Anyway, enjoy this sucky chapter.. Seriously, I put more effort on my Final Fantasy story.
Chapter 25: Getting Caught After Two Years
Yuki gave everyone in the living room a cold, frightened stare. She had no idea what was going to happen next, and what made it worse was that she never thought of emptying her mailbox. Her mailbox was filled with messages from Zero! Her eyes widened as she saw that Zero was online!
"What is it Yuki? Scared?" Yuka giggled. Yuki glared at her.
"Yuki, why didn't you tell me?," Kanames paused, a tone of calmness in his voice, "And this is from two years ago."
Yuki was very quiet. She didn't know what to say, or even what to do. She stood there frozen as cold eyes were pointed her direction.
"Go to your room Yuka!" Juri pointed to the stairs as she kept that worried look on her face.
"You aren't going to answer?" Kaname spoke.
"Give me back my laptop!" was the first thing that popped into Yuki's mind, so she yelled that.
"Explain to me Yuki." he cut her off.
"Mom?" Yuki searched for backup.
"Kaname! How could you do this to Yuki?" Juri walked to the evil pureblood.
"I just want her to tell me why she lied for this long." he sighed.
"Do I have to answer you?" Yuki shouted.
"Why?" Kaname dropped the laptop on purpose.
"My laptop!," Yuki yelled in despair, "I have many pictures saved on that!"
"Pictures of who, pictures of Zero?" Kaname shot back.
"Pictures of my daughter!" she fell to the ground.
"Yuki.." Kaname knelt down.
"Don't touch me! I know you're going to hunt Zero down!" she crawled away from him.
"Maybe I am." he answered.
"Kaname!" Juri bellowed.
"I'm going for a walk. Can I take Zakuro with me?" Kaname asked.
"No!" Yuki shouted immediately.
"Yuki, I think I am going to put a restraining order on Zero." the pureblood suggested.
"No! You can't!" Yuki shouted at Kaname. Tears streamed down from her cheeks as she ran downstairs.
"Kaname, you cannot do this!" Juri tried to help.
"I just don't want him near, our family." Kaname sighed.
"Yuki and Zakuro do not deserve this!," Juri paused, "Especially Zakuro! None of this is her fault, and yet you want to separate her from her father?"
"Juri, please understand me." the pureblood.
"I will not. This is about Yuki and Zakuro, and mainly about Zakuro because she is the one who will be suffering the most." Juri was now angrier than before.
"What if Zero tries to hurt Yuki?"
"Is that your best excuse for keeping Zero away?"
"It is not an excuse." he answered.
"Do you really want Zakuro to grow up without any contact of her father?" Juri sat down angrily.
"It's not that."
"You're jealous, I know." she sighed.
"I am not." he denied.
"Then go apologize to Yuki and let her see Zero at this instant." Juri shot back.
"No way, he is a threat to our family." Kaname lied.
"Funny." Juri sarcastically laughed in an angry tone.
"I am going tomorrow to put the restraining order against him."
"Kaname!" Juri scolded once more, annoyed for his disrespect.
"I'm going to talk to Yuki." he said.
"No, I don't think she wants to talk to you." the other pureblood walked upstairs.
Upstairs
Yuki looked at Zakuro sleeping, feeling horrible about what Kaname said. She felt so annoyed, so… betrayed.
The child woke up. Yuki just grabbed her with both arms and sat down on the nearest chair, a rocking chair.
She wasn't crying, but she was looking up at Yuki, with tired eyes. Yuki smiled and grabbed her little hand, red eyes looking into indigo ones. Zakuro yawned, her orbs getting watery. Yuki smiled because of her cuteness. She felt as if Zero's presence was in the room. She couldn't help feeling that way. Kaname was looking through the semi-opened door. Yuki didn't notice and started talking to her daughter.
"I'm sorry. I couldn't keep your dad a secret any longer. He found out… I just hope nothing happens to you." Yuki told the baby. Zakuro looked her in the eyes, as if understanding what her mother had told her. Her eyes then narrowed down to the figure near the door. Yuki turned around and saw Kaname. She was speechless and held Zakuro tighter in her arms, where she believed was the safest place.
"May I come in?" he asked.
"Why not? You were going to come in anyway." Yuki sighed.
"Yuki, -!" he was cut off.
"Please, just go." she was kindly kicking him out.
"No, we need to talk." he said.
"Fine then, I'll go." Yuki was looking in a drawer and found a sweater and put it on Zakuro. She then walked out the door of the room. Zakuro was looking at Kaname when Yuki was carrying her out the room.
For her honesty, Yuki was afraid that Kaname would kill Zakuro because of what Zero said to her back then. Yuki was never sp afraid in her life. She grabbed her phone and started texting Zero. She hoped he would respond.
"Zero, Kaname found out. I had to get out of there as soon as possible. ):"
She looked at her phone as she pressed the send button and felt horrible about what happened.
Zero at home
He was sleeping. His phone right next to his ear in case of any emergencies regarding his daughter. His breathing was silent, Yagari walked passed him. He was about to wake him up, but he saw he was sleeping peacefully. So, he didn't do anything to disturb the guy that he saw as his son.
All of a sudden, his phone vibrated on his ear and the silver haired guy jumped up. His eyes narrow. His eyes widened a little as he saw that the text was from Yuki. He opened the message with a click and read it all. He was now worried. He immediately got up and put on a jacket. Yagari was looking at him the whole time.
"Going for your girlfriend?" he asked. But Zero didn't even turn to look at him; he ignored him.
As soon as he was out of the building, he ran to the place where he thought Yuki might be. As he ran, he started texting back.
"Where are you guys?"
He sent it and continued running at full speed, taking small breaths.
Yuki at the park late at night
Yuki got the message and got the idea that Zero was rushing over. Holding Zakuro, she responded to the message, her fingers feeling like she got a bad case of frostbite. The chilly air of the season was blowing and Zakuro curled up near Yuki. Yuki hugged her, knowing she was cold. She got the scarf that was in her hand and tied it around the little baby.
Zero running
He was still running. He was getting closer and closer. He Yuki from a distance and ran faster. He wasn't sweaty because the night air was really cold. He halted by sliding through the grassy ground where they were both standing.
"Yuki!" Zero breathed tiredly.
"Zero." Yuki was looking at him as he tiredly put his hands on his legs and breathed, his head facing the ground.
"Zee-row." Zakuro said as if she didn't know it was a word. Zero looked at her. Zakuro held her arms out to Zero because she wanted him to carry her.
"That was your first word." Zero said.
"No Zakuro, you call him 'dad'." Yuki corrected.
"Ehh…" the baby looked at Yuki.
"He is your dad. Call him dad. I call him Zero, got it sweetie?" Yuki smiled. Zero nodded her head. She learned how to do so when Chairman Cross was watching a soap opera where the protagonist was nodding a lot. The chairman then told her that it meant yes, or something along those lines.
"Does Kaname know you're out here?" he asked.
"No." Yuki answered.
"How did he find out?" he questioned.
"My sister showed him… the emails.." Yuki gulped. Zero fretted with anger.
"For the next few days, I think we won't be able to see each other." he said.
"Zero!" Yuki then kept her words.
"Don't lose sight of Zakuro either. We need to protect her before Kaname gets to her." Zero looked at the baby in his arms and then back at Yuki.
"But I want to see you!" Yuki's eyes were getting watery.
"It can't be a secret anymore. Our cover was blown. Quit being so stubborn." he sighed.
"Uh… why did this have to happen?" Yuki looked down.
"This sucks," he looked at her, "Are you crying?"
"No! What makes you think that?" she seemed a little shocked. She didn't know why though. Her phone rang.
"Hello?"
"Yuki? Where on earth are you?" Juri's voice was through the phone.
"I'm in the park with Zero and Zakuro. I'm telling him what happened."
"Yuki, it's too cold outside!"
"But mom? He ran here and he took like 5 minutes catching his breath!"
"Poor guy… okay then, just be careful." Juri sounded concerned.
Zero noticed that Yuki wasn't wearing a sweater, and that she was freezing. He took his off and put it on her. Zakuro was wrapped in the warmth of Zero's sweater as Yuki was wearing it.
"Zero, I'm sorry." Yuki looked away feeling some tears.
"Why? This is all Kaname who wants to kill me or something like that."
"Zero…" Yuki looked very upset. It started to rain. The sprinkling drops of water wet Yuki's face as she looked up at the sky.
"It's starting to rain. You better get home." Zero suggested.
"We didn't finish talking yet!" Yuki interrupted his thoughts.
"I'll text you later. But delete your messages. He looked pretty upset as well. Yuki was sad too, but she listened to Zero. She ran back to him and kissed him on the lips. She didn't want the moment to end and neither did he. This was too perfect, kissing in the rain. She pulled away and ran back home with Zakuro in her arms. Zero walked back home depressed and worried because his daughter's life was in danger.
It was too dark. A tall figure walked to Zero. Zero looked bewildered.
"It has been two years, Zero Kiryu." Kaname got in front of him. Zero looked shocked and tightened his fists, because he was very angry.
"Kaname Kuran." he angrily muttered.
"It seems you have been seeing your daughter, am I right?" he narrowed his eyes, the hatred looking very obvious.
"Shut up vampire. She's my daughter and I have the right to see her."
"Why are you criticizing me? Your daughter is a vampire too. Don't you want to kill her too?" Kaname brought up.
"Shut up! That's a different story!" Zero shook his head and shouted. Kaname came up to him and grabbed his neck.
He started choking him! It was horrible for Zero! Zero then kicked him. Kaname then let go. The angry pureblood was trying to attack the soon to be level E. The rain was pouring much more, and the ground was turning muddy. Zero threw Kaname to the ground. Kaname kept his balance. The supposed-balance that vampires had; grace. Zero fell onto the ground. Out of his jacket pocket, he got his bloody rose gun and pointed it to Kaname.
"Do it, let's see what happen with Yuki and the rest of my family." Kaname smirked.
Zero pulled the gun away and looked away. He just couldn't kill him.
"If you tell Yuki any of this, I will not spare Zakuro's life." Kaname threatened.
"You can't do that!" Zero, still on the ground, shouted. He was so pissed off.
"I can. Yuki just needs to be… unaware." Kaname said.
"You probably tell her everything." the pureblood continued.
"Don't even get near my daughter! If you do! I will actually kill you! I swear!"
"You say that now, but will you?" Kaname made him think.
"What do you have against Zakuro? She didn't do anything! Why do you hate her?" Zero had an eye on the vampire.
"She was born, that's what happened. I do not like her because she is your daughter. All these years I have been acting like I was interested. In realty, I wasn't."
"That's your problem!" Zero shot back.
"Hmm. I'm leaving." Kaname said.
"You bastard come back!" Zero yelled and ran after him. He was going to punch him. Instantly, Kaname grabbed his fist and threw him back on the ground.
"Go home."
"Go to hell!" Zero muttered once more.
"You will go, if you let your daughter die." Kaname threatened again.
He walked away. Zero stood there in the rain, covered in mud. He walked home.
"Dammit!" he shouted as loud as he could. He was so angry. Kaname just did whatever, and that pissed him off.
At Yuki's House
Yuki was drying Zakuro's hair from the rain and gave her a change of clothes. Zakuro looked happy, because she saw Zero. She had no idea of what was going on. Yuki was glad that she didn't know, otherwise she would be devastated that her own life was in danger even though she didn't do anything.
"I wonder if he's alright." Yuki said aloud to herself.
"Oh he is." Kaname said.
"Huh?" Yuki saw him standing in the doorway of her room.
Zero at Home
Yagari saw him covered in mud.
"What happened?" he asked.
"Nothing." Zero angrily talked back.
He took a shower, and he was still angry. He was angry, because Yuki is living with a man who wants to kill an innocent baby.
