Chapter 5: What is he hiding...?

*Touch me…* a male voice echoed through her mind, instead of the echo's fading they were getting louder, and closer to the point when she imagined hot breathe onto her lope, biting it. Yuuki woke up panting heavy, beads of sweat pouring down her face onto her sheets, her hands gripping them as well. *Another one of those dreams…my god I m being pervert lately…* Yuuki thought to herself rolling her eyes, A light quickly went on Yuuki froze half-mid out of her bed with her left foot under the covers, her right on the cold floor, and her hands in a sneaky motion.

"Yuuki… are you alright." Spoke her friend Sayori rubbing her eyes.
"Ahh…yea I m fine just had one of the bad dreams again…" she spoke scratching the back of her head.
"Really a bad dream about what exactly?" Sayori spoke softly yawning, she gave her the "I already know… but are you going to tell me the truth look" she smirks towards her with innocent eyes.
"Yea it was about this lion…" She lied thinking of something quick and fast, a lion in a Zoo escape and attacked me and… AND….-blank-
"You were moaning Zero's name in your sleep again…" She finally spoke fluffing her pillow, froze towards Sayori's statement. *AGAIN* Yuuki thought looking at the floor, then back to her.

"Yuuki, I m your best friend you can tell me anything…" Sayori spoke hanging her feet over the edge of her bed, Yuuki sigh in defeat sitting beside, she leaned to her ear sending whispers towards her.
"WHAT?!" Sayori screamed but was muffled by Yuuki's sudden hand on her mouth, she listened around making sure no one got woken up.
"Shh… someone will hear you" Yuuki said releasing her mouth putting her index finger on her lips.
"Yuuki, I m hurt… why didn't you tell me…" Sayori spoke with a hint of sadness in her voice; she looked down at the floor in disappointment.

"For the recorded you're the only one that knows" Yuuki said attempting not to hurt her best friend, even though she was right why didn't she tell her about her and Zero. And a couple of other things for example: The night class being vampires… but then she would figure out that Zero was a vampire too.
"Well for the record you should've told me before… I mean I'm happy for you, but what about the other one." Sayori whispered Kaname's name into Yuuki's ear.
"Honesty I don't know about him anymore… he treats me like a child, and Ruka giving me glares when we chat." Yuuki spoke with a saddened tone.

"You still have feelings for him?" Sayori finally asked Yuuki nodded sighing; she glanced at her best friend hoping she would say something to take her mind from the subject or make it worse.
"Well that is a problem… your between love or feelings."
"Yea but my feelings towards you know who are fading… and the other is growing stronger." Yuuki confessed looking at her toes, then to her friend's feet.
"You have a lot on your plate don't you… but they say it depends on what the heart wants." Sayori said lying on her back closing her eyes.

Yuuki blinked at her statement *What the heart wants?* she thought for awhile getting up from Sayori's bed to her own she sat down placing her hand on her neck, her hues focused on the full moon, the light shining down onto her features.
"Yuuki what does your heart want." Sayori spoke closing her eyes.
"The heart wants what it wants the most… and that's Zero." Yuuki spoke softly laying back onto her bed.
"Just remember that when you face him… I fear your feelings will infer" Sayori spoke as she closed her eyes drifting off to la-la land. *I fear it too…* Yuuki thought as she laid into her bed, not bothering to fall asleep, her mind was clouded by Zero's actions…then it hit her *CCCCRRAAAPPP THAT PAPER IS DUE TOMMORROW* She straighten up quickly putting on a loose t-shirt, and shorts, instead of walking in the dorm hallways in her nightgown… She looked at Sayori that was fast asleep with her head covered up with her blankets, Yuuki carefully opened the door slipping through it releasing the knob as she turned her head

–BUMP-

her face burrowed into a large figure… *That smell* she gasped looking up to meet red dark hues, wavy brown hair, his charming face that she fell under ten years ago and a white suit. *Was he listening… or did he just get here…* Yuuki thought to herself
"Yuuki why aren't you in bed." Kaname whispering then looked down at her books, he understood.
"Kaname-Spai hai how was your trip or where-ever you went?" she finally spoke softly.
"It went very well I m glad to see you are fine as well." Kaname spoke placing his hand on her cheek, she blushed against his touch. *UGH WHY ARE YOU BLUSHING, YOU HAVE TO FIGHT THIS* She attempted to hide her blush, as he's hand slipped down her neck feeling bite marks…

"Yuuki…" Kaname broke his sentence as she back away looking down; he returned his arm to his side.
"Kaname I've…" Her sentence was broken when Ruka appeared behide him she bowed to him.
"M'lord… they wish to see you in the classroom." She spoke softly as she glared at Yuuki, he nodded looking back at Yuuki, and he placed his hand on her head ruffling her hair.
"I'm sorry to leave you but I must attend to another matter, I'll speak with you tomorrow." Kaname spoke softly waving her off and returning to Ruka's side heading back to the classroom, Kaname disappeared into the room, Ruka gave her one last glare before closing the door.

Yuuki gulped shaking it off as she walked away from the scene with many thoughts. *How do you tell a royal vampire that is in love... wait…likes me, I don't even know if he loves me… it seems for years he's been teasing me on and off. He had all of those years to take a chance with me… but he didn't why. If he really truly loved me he would have me… well maybe when we were in our early teens. But Zero has been suffering with that mark of his… Heart… what do you want…* She thought to herself walking inside a quiet room with no one in it, she opened her books sighing… She doesn't have Zero's notes… She glanced at the clock that hung on the wall in front of her *2:37am, Alright when it hits 4:30am I'll head to bed * Yuuki thought to herself writing down the first sentence.

-:- Early morning.-:-

The sun rose from the horizon Yuuki walked to the gates to met with Sayori, however she hasn't seen Zero since last night on patrol… she looked around the grounds for white hair, sadly no sight of him.
"Hai Yuuki… I didn't see you see in the dorm room when I woke up where… oh my… you have dark circles underneath your eyes." Sayori spoke examining her face features she was pale, underneath her reddish brown hues where black circles.
"I didn't sleep every much I forgot to finish my paper, but it's finished, oh hey have you seen Zero?" Yuuki asked cuddling her books close to her chest as they walked to class.
"No I haven't I figure he was with you since he's always is." She smiled at Yuuki's blush as they reached the door to the classroom; she scanned the back of the room to see nothing. *Where are you…* she thought to herself as she walked to the teacher placing her paper on his desk. He was surprised to see her paper; Yuuki asked if Zero called in sick, He shook his head signaling a no, she sighed softly returning back to her side beside Sayori.

"I m sure he's alright." Sayori spoke softly patting her on the back; she smiled at her friend nodding.
"Thanks." She whispered softly looking outside wondering did something happen to him.

:-: Mean while:-:

Zero was in his room covering his head with his palm on the bump replaying last night events…
"Zero!" Kaname gripped his throat against the tree titling his head up to look at him, Zero blinked at Kaname's sudden actions. *He knows…* Zero thought to himself while glaring at the vampire in front of him, Kaname fingers gripped his throat a little tighter, he smirked at this.
"So, you know…" Zero spoke with venom in his tone, Kaname shook his head.
"Yes…Yuuki has been offering herself to you, even further you took her from me, which I can't allow." Kaname spoke he's eyes turning bloody red preparing to strike him down.
"I didn't take her body by force, I asked her permission she said yes… or the fact of the manner is that she loves me." Kaname narrowed his eyes towards Zero slamming his head into the tree, making it dent from his head impact, he grunted.

"Can you really stop Yuuki from loving me…?" Zero spoke suddenly smirking at Kaname reaction it was realizing that he's right… I had chances to ask her to be mine but I was afraid she might remember, however… I still want her and there is no one in my way of getting her.
"Leave Yuuki or I'll kill you." Kaname spoke with venom in his tone giving him the vampire death glare.
"If you do plan on killing me, Yuuki will kill you…of course she won't talk to you anymore nor see you… tell me when you couldn't see her for the last three days did it kill you just to see her face." Zero said with narrowed eyes, Kaname grunted flying his left fist into his Zero's face landing him on the ground, he spit up a little amounts of blood glaring at Kaname.

"You could be right about that Yuuki's happiness means the world to me; in that case I won't be killing you easily… "Kaname said in defeat, Zero smirked wider.
"Yuuki is mine… you had chances to be with her… but you didn't why that is." Zero said with an evil smirk, Kaname grunted sighing continuing his sentence.
"That is none of your business, is it now Zero." Kaname spoke closing his eyes refusing to explain.
"I know exactly why… Your pathetic race of vampire isn't meant to give love or receive it; they only tease innocent girls like Yuuki in hopes of being together, but you don't you continue to play with her." Zero gasped as Kaname grabbed his chest, Kaname fingernails (Claws) digging into Zero's flesh tearing pushing his form against another tree his blood slipping down his arms and down to his hands little drips of blood covering the ground.

"If only you knew what Yuuki Cross is… it would be so clear to you." Kaname spoke giving his form one last push against the tree releasing him he leaned against it covering his wound –Throb- Zero gasped smelling his blood in the air, he grasped his neck wanting someone's neck to piece in.
"What do you mean If I knew what Yuuki is…" Zero asked resisting his blood lust.
"It doesn't manner now… pretty soon you will fall to level E and will be force to be killed… then Yuuki will be running back to me…" he spoke looking down at Zero with disgust.

"You're wrong… because the one that will kill me is Yuuki we both promised... Answer this if you can Kaname, can you kill your own heart… oh right you don't have one." Zero spoke with a smile, Kaname backhand his face into the ground. Zero snapped from his blood lust, feeling hopeless but the better man… once she sees him like this she'll be afraid to go back to Kaname… or convince herself that Kaname is very strong… Zero's thoughts were interrupted when he saw Kaname walking off wiping a rag over his blooded hand.

"My heart will always belong to Yuuki either you like it or not Zero… I will not lose Yuuki to the likes of you." Kaname threw the rag over his shoulder onto Zero's foot. He groaned getting up watching him take his leave.

"This means war…" Zero smirked as he thought as he dragged his sore body back to his dorm, once instead he closes the door taking off his jacket, shirt and shoes. He looked at himself in the mirror; Kaname's marks over his left side of his neck to his chest. He placed a wet cloth over it hopping he doesn't go back into his vampire state. *What is Kaname hiding from Yuuki…? Is he planning to turn her into a vampire…* Zero thought to himself feeling in doubt… *Even if that happens can I truly love her as a vampire… wait what am I saying… of course I can I love moment with her but can my hatred ruin that.* Zero took a deep breath of air before exhaling it out looking down in the sink closing his eyes. *I can't let Kaname win… She's mine and only mine… the next person that touches her I swear I'll rip out his throat.* he thought to himself, he back away from his sink to his bed flopping down on it closing his eyes.

-:-

Thoughts entering his mind making it unbearable to neither catch sleep through nor see his beloved Yuuki in school; he placed his hands on his eyes covering the sun rays from his view. "What is Kaname hiding…? "He thought closing his eyes. He heard a door open and closing thinking it was the boy across the room, he ignored it until he felt something crawl onto his bed; he removed his palm from his eyes to look down seeing a smiling face, he smiled back in return her lips meeting his hungrily, he moaned softly as her hand held his cheek touching his sore cheek he grunted against the kiss.

"What is this... what happened?" She spoke softly against his lips, feeling a cut against it she leaned back to examine it. He's face shown bruises, cuts, and scars along his facial appearance, she looked at him concerned, he shook his head placing his hand on her cheek.
"I got a little sidetracked by Kaname…" he sighed looking up at Yuuki's dark circles, he rose a brow his thumb tracing her cheekbone.

"And seems you didn't sleep in class… or at all…" She smirked holding his hand
"I was so worried about you in class that I didn't fall asleep… and I forgot to finish my paper last night so I had to stay up a little longer to finish it, what did Kaname tell you or do to you…" she asked looking into his eyes. He shakes his head closing his eyes.
"Nothing to worry about it, he got upset when I told him to stay away from my girl." He smirked at her blush nodding at him; she gasped while leaning down to kiss him again.

She waited for him to continue but said nothing, if he did; her feelings for him would grow strong and his fight for her would begin again… *I won't lose her to him* he thought placing his hand on her head bringing it down against his chest hearing his heart-beat it was calm, she stay like that until she remembered to do Patrol.

"I hate to break this up but we have a job to do remember." She said looking up at him, he nodded releasing her head, she rose up bringing him with her, she handed him his arm sash, and he gladly took it and followed her out of his room to the boy's dorm doors. Zero and Yuuki walked together down the path to the school, Zero suddenly grabbed her hand in affection, and she smiled at his actions and held each other's hand. As soon as they hit the school they broke their hands fearing someone might see them, they were a couple but not willing to make uproar… Kaname however saw this from the window in the night class, he grinded his teeth making the class shattered a little, the night class looked at him in wonder.

"I have a headache…" he replied to them, they nodded and resume studying Ruka offered him some aspirin. He accepted it and watched Yuuki carefully until she disappeared behide the school with Zero.
