DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN VAMPIRE KNIGHT!
Enjoy the story lovelies! :3
After we got back to the Academy Zero quickly took Kaito to the school infirmary as Kaien and Yagari took Kaname to the holding cells at the school. I understood why because he was technically still a criminal and it's easier to keep him safe in there since without a hunter vampires can't go in or out.
Yuuki insisted she followed with them although Kaien argued about having her in there, so I was put on Yuuki watch duty.
Yuuki was curled up on the couch with a blanket around her as she glared at the ground. "You know if you keep glaring at the floor like that you're going to get wrinkles right?" I asked as I sat a glass of water down in front of her. She stopped glaring and looked up at me. "I want to see Kaname." She told me. I shook my head and sat down next to her. "Sorry, Yuuki, but I was given instructions to make sure you stay here. Besides we all know you plan on turning him human so the hunters don't exactly trust you being around their only hope of gaining weapons again to stop bad vampires." I told her.
"I won't turn him human. I just want to spend as much time I have left with him." She admitted. I groaned as she gave me a puppy pout look and pinched the bridge of my nose. "Is this how Zero feels when I give him that look? Ugh! Fine but promise me you won't turn him human." I begged as I held my pinkie out to her.
She nodded and she wrapped her pinkie around mine. "I swear I won't." She promised. I sighed and looked at her sternly. "I want to be honest when I say I didn't know you snuck in there so I don't know put me to sleep?" I asked. She smirked and nodded. She placed her hand on my head and I slowly started to feel drowsy. My eyes closed and was out like a light.
When I woke up someone was shaking my shoulder and I opened my eyes to see Zero looking at me worriedly. "Iris, are you okay?" He asked as he helped me slowly sit up. I wracked my brains as I tried to figure out why I was asleep on the couch and noticed Yuuki was missing.
My eyes widen in panic as I looked around frantically. "Where's Yuuki?" I asked. "She somehow managed to sneak inside the cell but after she made a very passionate plea she just wanted to spend any time she has left with Kuran Kaname and I rushed over here to check on you to find you asleep on the couch." He told me. My eyebrows furrowed when he told me that. Why did I fall asleep on duty? Why am I feeling like something is missing?
"You have been working hard for the past month." He pointed out as he sat down next to me. I rested my head against his shoulder and he ran his fingers through my hair. "Is there side effects to that sleeping spell? Like drowsiness?" I grumbled. He chuckled and a kissed my head. "No I think that is just your exhaustion catching up with you." He told me. I nuzzled into him more and closed my eyes.
I could hear his pulse beating fast and I felt my fangs extended a little as my throat slowly started to burn. You got to be kidding me?! Can I just snuggle with him for five minutes without feeling the need to drink blood, I mean come on! I had some blood when Zero stopped by the other day at the Kuran manor!
I quickly moved away from Zero and held my throat, trying to just will the thirst away though I know it wasn't going to unless I have some blood. "Iris, it's okay. If you need blood it's okay to take some from me, you don't need to hide your thirst anymore from me, remember?" He asked. My eyes widen in surprised when he said that, the burning feeling in my throat forgotten as I looked up at him in shock.
How did he knew I was hiding my thirst from him when his memories were erased? I thought I was super careful? I mean the only time I let it slipped was when I got injured when we were saving those children. "How did you know that?" I squeaked.
He pulled me over to him and wrapped his arms around me. "It's hard not to notice, when you would suddenly stiffen and hold your throat as you walk passed me or keep your head low on your desk as you pretend to sleep when I walk into the room to see the Association head. Though I'm curious how you didn't go mad from blood lust considering I know you can't take the tablets." He told me.
I grimaced, not really wanting to tell him how far I sank to get blood. Drinking the blood of strangers was disgusting but it would calm my thirst down long enough for me to focus again, although I knew it wasn't satisfied.
I only desire Zero's blood...
I gently took his wrist and gently sank my fangs into his wrist, in a lame attempt not to satisfy his curiosity. Zero doesn't need to know that the woman he loves can indeed be the monster she didn't want to become.
At least not right now.
