Chapter 39

Kaname stays with Yuki for a few weeks, watching over her and taking good care of her. Seeing that she is lightening up a bit around him. Spending more time with him and attention. Nothing romantic but a friendship and trust. Like they use to have when she was small was rebuilding. Kaname was glad for it and didn't want to hurt it in any way.

Kaname just thinks, what to do? Does he try to fix this the right way? Or make it work to his way? Kaname's old ways of taking control and over are still there. Then he remembers how keeping her in the dark, pushed her away from him, and he doesn't want that. Just if he does the right thing, it will push her away again, into another man's arms. One he hated wholeheartedly.

He goes back and forth with his own emotions, remembering and seeing at times how down she can get. When she thinks about Zero, a part of her fades away. A part that Kaname could never make whole.

When the weeks are up Kaname goes home, not really wanting to leave her their all alone but needing to see what he could do to bring her back. To make her live a real-life and fix the mistake she has made. If it could be even fixed. Kaname wasn't sure as he knew some would really be against what was happening.

Before he goes home he stops at the association, going straight to Zero's Office to talk to him. He wanted to see how he was doing and if he really forgot Yuki and everything that went along with their relationship.

"What the hell do you want? You have a lot of nerve bursting in my office, Kuran." Zero snaps.

"It's been months of you ignoring things, are you ever going to step up for what you have done?" Kaname asks.

"Are you fucking kidding me? What I have done? I have done nothing. She took advantage of me, played me, lied to me. What do you want? Are you just mad that it wasn't you doing it? GUess, what? She has being, you down pretty damn good. You got what you wanted you turned her into you." Zero spats.

"I didn't turn her into anything. It just happened. Do you think I like how she is? How far she has gotten from me?" Kaname spats back.

"Oh, what happened? She isn't sleeping with you anymore? You even took that! You got everything you ever wanted with her. What more do you want? I got your leftovers, the empty emotionless woman you turned her into." Zero replies.

"This self-pity shit is getting old Zero. She isn't emotionless or cold when it comes to you. I hate to say or admit how much she loves you. How much she misses you. She is sorry for what she did, how she did it, and she was wrong in ways, but you are taking it too far. This is exactlly why she didn't tell you who she was. How could she? You act like a two year old with your damn tantrums. She showed you what it would be like together. She put your life back the way it was. She couldn't stand you suffering and you do this to her? Leave her when she needs you most? I thought better of you. If you won't stand by her on this, then I will, and if I take this vow, I never want you to get in our way. She will be mine and so will be the problem you left behind. And if anyone is getting leftover's it's me!" Kaname snaps.

"I didn't leave any problem behind, you and all your mystery talk. Stand by her? For what?" Zero asks.

Kaname stands there knowing Zero doesn't know what is going on. He is in the dark just as Kaname was before he saw Yuki at the mansion.

"Did you ever read the letter Yuki left for you Zero?" Kaname asks.

"The one Seiren left me? No, I forgot about it till now. I have been trying to get on with my life." Zero says.

"So you really don't want her? You just let go after all that? And all the crap of you caring so much for her? Things get hard and you leave, this is the second time you have done this shit. For someone who really loves her, you are not there when she really needs you to be." Kaname states.

"I don't need to be. Your mightly ass self is there right? Why need me? She walked away from me to go with you!" Zero hisses.

"Are you kidding Zero? I am going to say this one last time, I will pick up the pieces, take over what you need to do if you choose not to. But that means you do stay away always and never come bother us. I also suggest before you make your decision you need to read the letter to you. I believe there are a few things your missing." Kaname states.

"If you say so, I never thought you of all people would be here pushing us together. What's wrong with you?" Zero asks.

"Nothing, I see how she feels about you. It's real, I also know you feel the same even though your fighting it and being an ass. Just if you really choose to walk away fine. I have no problem with that. If you pass on it, I will make sure I get what I want. The only one standing alone will be you." Kaname smirks.

"Yea just the way you want me. I will think about what you said and read your dumb ass letter." Zero replies.

"Don't take too long, I need your decision fast as I need to make plans for what's to come," Kaname responds.

"You act as if something is on a timeline. Gezz relax. I will think about it." Zero says.

Kaname just gives him a look and doesn't answer. Knowing things are on a timeline. He can't believe how Zero is acting like he doesn't give a damn. He wonders now if he should have just left things alone and taken over himself.
