I admit that it's a shorter chapter than usual and it doesn't really feature anything about Zero basically being in love with Yuuki, but I kinda wanted to include this one as a mid-story bonus chapter. sorry if it's not in keeping with the theme I so carefully set for my fanfiction.
disclamation: I have no comment about it this time, other than I don't own anything.
After I had to ditch Yuuki at the front gate of the Moon Dormitory, I went to the horse stables to go and vent a little. White Lily happened to be watching over me like an attentive mother horse would watch over her young colt. That was exactly what White Lily was to me; my second mother. It was ironically sad that the only true parental authority I felt I had left in my life came in the form of a horse... when you really thought about it, that was.
I was busy breathing heavily as I tried my hardest to get a hold of myself when I smelt something or someone hiding behind a nearby tree who seemed to set me off for one reason or another.
Yours Truly: Whoever's hiding there, show yourself!
Of course, I was afraid of it being one of the Night Class students out to get me after giving that Kaname Kuran that box of Valentine's chocolates on my Yuuki's behalf. Instead, it turned out to be that really brave or really crazy Day Class girl from yesterday who had tried to climb the wall to the Moon Dormitory. I did not need this.
Day Class Girl: Oh, um, it's just me. I wanted to thank you for yesterday, so I made you this.
Ah crap, just what I needed right at that moment. For one of the Day Class girls to have a rescue crush on me. She did not seem as considerate, however, towards my own feelings as my Yuuki actually tried to be towards that vampiric bastard, Kaname Kuran. Yuuki might have thought that Kaname Kuran felt that way about her, but for me, that kind of thing really was no big deal. If she wanted my opinion on her chocolates, she should have known that that rescue from me of her was just a small incident. I rejected them, therefor.
Yours Truly: Go away.
Then, I heard her gasp slightly. I actually wanted to be alone at that very moment.
Day Class Girl: Um, but I…
I had to get everyone else in the school away from me before I exploded with bloodlust.
Yours Truly: Just go!
Then, the Day Class girl actually gasped even louder than before.
Day Class Girl: Um, I'm so sorry.
I finally caught my breath long enough for White Lily to look at me as though she were saying to me…
White Lily's metaphorical voice: Zero Kiryuu, how could you be so rude like that? What right do you have to refuse a gift?
Yep, that horse really did fill the void in my life that my birth mother left when she and my birth father died. I could not believe how my own twin brother took it, though.
Yours Truly: Oh, come on. Don't look at me like that.
It was true. I had had a long day after everything that had happened, and I still only had eyes for my Yuuki.
