DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!

Enjoy the story lovelies! :3

After a couple of days the nurses started questioning if I had gone into slumber unintentionally which Zero argued and suggested to wait a couple more days before doing anything which the doctors even agreed with him on the idea to wait.

Which made me panic because what would happen to me if they do go through with it? What about Zero? He can't just go into slumber and wait for me to wake up, for many reasons. For starters only purebloods can do that, secondly his memories are tampered and we need to undo that, and lastly Zero has many responsibilities as the Association's future president! Suki is still out there and she needs to be stopped, and Kaname is set on committing a mass genocide of the vampire race!

I sat on the foot of my hospital bed with my feet tucked under me as I glared at my unconscious body then stared at the empty chair Zero has been sitting in since I got into the hospital room. Zero had to reluctantly leave the hospital to handle some business at the Association-I guess lower level vampires have been getting out of control when they heard no one was currently handling things for the Kuran clan-so I was basically alone.

I let out a heavy sigh and a flicker of movement caught my attention. I glanced over to see Kaname slipping into my room and I hoped off my bed. "Are you seriously going to attack me when I'm down?! That's low." I hissed at him as I stood protectively in front of my sleeping body. Kaname walked over to the other side of my bed and shook his head.

"Now is not the best time to be slipping into a slumber, Iris." He scolded me. "Not like I was planning on it." I grumbled. He glared up at me and I stiffened. "Wait, you can see me too?" I gasped. "Now's not the time to ask me questions before they put you in a sleeping chamber." Kaname growled. "They won't till after tomorrow so yes I have time to ask questions. For one, why are you here?" I demanded. "To wake you up." He answered dully as if it was obvious. "Very well...why are you planning on a mass genocide for the vampires?" I asked.

He ignored me and bit his wrist and placed his bleeding wrist over my unconscious body's mouth. "Ewwww! You're going to make me drink your blood?!" I demanded. He seemed to continue to ignore me and I sighed heavily. "Sooo you're going to ignore me now as you force your blood down my throat?" I asked in disbelief.

Nothing.

The world around me started to fade to black and my eyes widened in fear. "Now stop sleeping and wake up when Kiryu Zero returns." He informed me then everything went black.

I felt a sudden force slam me down and I felt a great wave of pain throughout my body and my throat was a burning inferno. Well...I'm definitely not dead, tI doubt I would be in this much pain. I honestly wanted to be back in that dreadfully boring out of body experience since I wasn't experiencing any of this pain I was apparently feeling. Unless maybe that out of body experience was a very weird, vivid dream which could be the case.

I allowed a small groan of pain escape and I could hear muffled voices coming towards me, as a familiar strong hand gingerly grabbed my hand. I opened my eyes slowly to look into a pair of lavender orbs filled with concern, relief, and joy. "Zero?" I moaned softly. "I'm here." He assured me. I wanted to make a joking comment about my pain but a wave of burning sensation intensified in my throat and I groaned in pain. "I'll go find a nurse or doctor and let them know she's awake and needs pain meds." Kaien announced and left the room before I could tell him it was mostly my thirst bothering me at the moment.

"What hurts?" Zero asked as he looked at me worriedly. "My everything but my thirst is the worst." I confessed and as if to confirm it my eyes turned red and I tried to grab my throat with my free hand but was restricted by the wires connecting me to either my IV or my heart monitor. Zero nodded and held his wrist out towards me. "Take as much as you need, but you'll be helping me restock my blood tablets." He warned. I giggled a little and nodded. "Sounds fair." I assured him and he helped me reach his wrist better. I gently sank my fangs into his wrist and my mind spun when the familiar taste of Zero's blood spilled into my mouth. I heard a familiar soft moan that sounded like Zero's, and I blushed brightly. I gently detached my fangs from his wrist when I could feel the burning in my throat die down to a bearable pain.

I could hear a dark voice protest and urge me to resume drinking Zero's blood but I tuned it out. Great...now I have a little devil trying to make me give into my vampiric nature.

I wiped away any blood that was on my mouth and looked at Zero to see he looked a bit drowsy. "Shit! Zero, I'm sorry! I did-" He pinched my lips gently and I blinked at him dumbfounded. "It wasn't you, I just haven't gotten enough sleep." He assured me. I cocked an eyebrow and he removed his hand from my mouth. "Why haven't you?" I asked. He gave me a disbelieving look and I blushed brightly when I realized why.

So maybe the out of body experience wasn't a dream...ewwwww I drank Kaname's blood!

The door bursted open to show Kaien and a nurse inside. Kaien has his hair pulled back and was wearing his glasses and looked as tired as I saw him. "Iris is awake!" He cheered and ran towards me. I couldn't help but laugh as he ran to the other side of my bed and hugged me tightly. "I thought you said she was in pain?" The nurse asked. "It was my thirst. Zero gave me some blood tablets." I lied as I hugged Kaien back.

Last thing they need to know is I drank blood when I probably shouldn't in their hospital.
