Chapter 34 The talk

As they are laying there, Yuki falls asleep in Zero's arms. Zero starting to doze, until he hears someone knocking on his door. "Damn it, It must be Katio. I wish he would stay away." Zero spats. Yuki is so tired, she doesn't even answer. She just rolls over and goes back to sleep. Which Zero is grateful for, he knows she is feeling safer. Which makes him happy. He sees things are improving.

He throws on his underwear, top, and pants, heading downstairs to open the door.

"It's late what do you want?" Zero snaps. "Its only 10 pm, since when did you get to be an old man?" Katio asks. "I need to get up early for work, so do you." Zero answers. closing the door behind him, sitting on the bench outside.

Katio is a smart vampire hunter, he knows Zero is hiding something. Not to mention, he sees the hickey on his neck. "Ok, who is she?" Katio asks. Handing Zero a beer from the six pack he took. "What do you mean?" Zero replies. "Don't lie to me. I am not dumb. You wanted to get rid of me super fast earlier and I obviously interrupted something now. Nice hickey by the way." Katio laughs. Zero puts his hand on his neck to cover it. "It's nothing." Zero replies. "Do you think I am going to believe that? I mean really you coming to China? I knew something was up just with that. Now I get it. You with a woman? It could only be her, otherwise, it's not happening. I just have to say, you have a lot of balls to do this." Katio states. "Damn it, if you can figure it out." Zero hisses.

"Are you crazy? Do you know what he will do to the both of you if he finds she is alive? If he finds her with you? He hates you as it is. This would just give him reason to kill you." Katio spats. "I can't help it, I love her. I want to be with her. SHe had to get away from him, so I helped her. She doesn't want him anymore. He hurt her badly, he is a bastard." Zero replies. "Yea he may be that, but you're crazy. That bastard will string you up alive. Shit not to mention, what the vampire counsel would say if they knew she was with you? OMG, You know what they think about us." Katie responds. "It doesn't matter. No one knows it's her and you're going to keep it that way. RIGHT?" Zero shouts.

"Of course. I don't care for him, I hate him as much as you do. It's just if I can figure it out, you need to be super careful. You are just lucky here no one cares about shit. Just hope Kaname never comes here." Katio answers. "He doesn't normally come here. So we should be fine. She looks a lot different also, plus she is pregnant." Zero admits. "WHAT? Are you fucking crazy? Holy shit! You don't just run away with the pureblood, Steal her from her pureblood husband, you even knock her up? Good Lord, is there anything else you want to do? Before we just build you a grave?" Katio says.

"I am being honest with you. There is a chance it's not mine. Let's just say things are complicated." Zero replies. "You're going to take his kid? Are you on something? What did she put in your drink? More like what the fuck are you smoking? Not to mention, what the fuck would you want with his Pureblood child? How the hell are you going to hide that?" Katio huffs. "Nothing. Stop that. I love her, We will work through this. Just keep your fucking mouth closed and everything should be fine. It will be just a child. It will know me as it's father." Zero snaps. "What's with the damn ring? You married her? This shit is getting deeper and deeper. When he comes to kill you, I don't know if I can help." Katio replies.

"He isn't coming, and yes I took her as my wife," Zero responds. "Don't let anyone at the association know that yet. Yagari said you came here grieving over a loved one. The less anyone here knows about you the better. They don't really care but if anyone knows or talks to Kaname they can tell him. He will know something is off that two months after her death you got married. Shit everyone back there will know something is wrong." Katio answers. "Everyone knew I loved her?" Zero asks. "Fuck yea. We all saw it. You were just too dumb to say something, now that you did, you sure got into a nice deep hole." Katio responds.

"I can't worry about that now. I have to make sure she is safe. That the child is safe. I won't tell anyone anything personally, but thats nothing new. I never tell anyone anything. So it will just seem like normal me. I am just here to work. I don't even really have to but it would look even more suspicious if I left the association. Plus I can always keep tabs knowing what is going on." Zero remarks.

"Yes, all everyone sees that you have if your work. If you left it they would wonder and be even more worried about you. What are you going to do when Kaien and Yagari want to visit you? You do know that will happen?" Katio states. "Yea I thought about that. I will try to see them at the association. Maybe me and you can take them out, not letting them come to my home. We will think of something when the time comes. Neither of them knows what is going on. I kept them in the dark to keep them safe." Zero admits.

"Thats for the better. You have nothing to worry about with me, I am here for you in whatever you need. All I can say is be careful. As long as no one can tell who she is, you should be fine. I wouldn't take her to any functions at the association. They might not know her, but they heard of her. If you bump into anyone that knows Kaname or that group, they will surely tell him. Putting him wise, you don't need that." Katio comments. "We are going to have to hide for most of this relationship. But if it keeps her safe, and we can live peacefully. I don't care. " Zero replies. "I hope for your sake all this works out." Katio answers. Drinking his third beer.

They sit there finishing there six pack, talking in general now. Zero despite trying to get rid of Katio earlier feels a peacefulness come over him. Finally able to tell the truth. Letting someone share his thoughts and worries besides Yuki. He saw that having him there was going to be a good thing. At least they had some family.
