Chapter 41
Zero sits at his desk and knows he has to contact Kaname. Even though he rather not, he knows he has no choice.
"Hello, I wasn't sure I would hear from you," Kaname says.
"Whatever, Where is Yuki? I would like to speak to her. I think there is a lot that we both need to say to each other at this point." Zero answers.
"I agree with that, she is out in one of our old Mansions. It is pretty far from here so no one would know she was pregnant. We can go there together, I think after whatever you two decide we all need to talk and make sure we are on the same page to make this work. One false move and things can get way out of hand." Kaname reveals.
"I understand that I still can't believe your acting like this," Zero admits.
"Like what? That I don't want to wring your neck? Because I do, I just know it's not the way. It won't fix what happened and I also know, half of what is taking place isn't even your fault. It's hers. She knew what she was doing, she knew who you were. She kept it from me and everyone else just to have you to herself." Kaname states.
"She did everything to help me, and protect me. I do see that, I know she wanted to give me my life back. Make me happy, I just wish she wouldn't have lied." Zero responds.
"And if she would have told you, it was her? Have you seen what you did when she did? You know you always overreact on things. With a child on the way, I do hope you curb that a bit." Kaname states.
"You are no better than me, you just hide it better. Then send your soldiers to take care of your dirty work, where I do it myself." Zero replies.
"I have no choice on the way I act, the fewer people know what I am doing or thinking the better. If you stay with us, you will need to understand that. She will have to do the same. I still don't know how we will explain any of this yet. That is if you stay." Kaname says.
"I don't know fully yet, what is going to happen. I just know I want to see her, and I would like to be part of my child's life." Zero comments.
Kaname just growls under his breath.
"A little pissed there Kaname?" Zero smirks.
"Disappointed is more like it, I always thought she would be having my child and be married to me. Not carrying yours...A vampire hunter and level D to boot. Then in a way, this is my fault for putting you there to protect her, it made her get too close to you." Kaname admits.
"So how does she feel about you lately? Are you two a thing?" Zero asks.
"A thing? We haven't been a thing for a very long time, When she first came here she tried. We even got romantic, just she kept thinking about you. She even told me half her heart belongs to you. Making it clear from the start." Kaname answers.
Zero smiles to himself, never thinking he would hear that. He always thought she was so in love with Kaname, she never thought about him or wanted him.
"What happened then?" Zero asks.
"I was busy with work, leaving her a lot and no telling her what was going on. I was trying to protect her, but you know how she is. She wants to be part of things. Sometimes wants to get too close. I couldn't let her in the way she wanted. I also kept her pretty locked up here for her safety and she didn't like that either. She needed space and told me I had no choice but to let her go. At first, I told her no, which only made her push farther away from me. So I gave in. You know the rest." Kaname comments.
"So you never really made her happy did you?" Zero gloats.
"No, I can't give her the life you do, but what goes along with you, will get her killed and your child," Kaname replies.
"I know, I don't want that and I will walk away if that means to keep them both safe," Zero admits.
"That would only hurt her more, she is only half a person without you. You have this hold on her." Kaname states.
You use to as well, I am not sure about now. I didn't see any of the real her when i was with her. Except the giving and being kind. That never seemed to leave. Just she is so muture, so different... She didn't need anyone. She wasn't clumsy and airheaded at all." Zero confeses.
Kaname laughs out loud. "Zero she isn't a sixteen-year-old girl anymore. She is a woman, who when she was here was trained to be a true pureblood and she got that down pat. There are even times I can't read her. Or even her scent. She hides it well Too well. I am stronger than her, older than her yet she can keep her scent from me. She learned quickly." Kaname admits.
"I am glad to see her this way. Strong. I just wasn't use to it." Zero states.
"Tell me about it. I loved taking care of her, she doesn't let me. She might have to now though." Kaname comments.
"Unfortantly I may need you to as well." Zero answers.
