Chapter 44
In the Morning, Kaname goes to pick Zero up at his office to go to the Mansion and see what Yuki left behind if anything. Kaname's mind is running away from him, thinking about all kinds of things. Worried and scared harm will follow her, not wanting anyone to know what is going on and that she is Carrying Zero's child. It's a big mess no matter which way he looks at this.
Not only for him being a hunter but in general. All would know she wasn't Kaname's any longer. That she favored the level D Hunter that was tossed to the side for many years over him. Everyone would also know that is why Kaname put in a good word to bring him back to the association. This was more than Kaname wanted to deal with. Never really expecting that he would have to. He thought that Yuki would go off and get whatever she needed out of her system, and come back to him. Seeing that it was him she loved over Zero. He knew figured she would find him, take him home and make love to him. He thought Zero was long gone on the bad side of town and would stay there.
"You look down Kaname?" Zero says entering the plush limo.
Zero can tell Kaname isn't the same, and he didn't even speak yet.
"I'm Fine." Kaname answers.
"Don't lie it's written all over you, which I have to say is something different. Normally you can't even tell if your alive or not. This is new. " Zero laughs.
"Good, Find it funny. The severity of this isn't funny at all. On so many levels." Kamane answers.
"I understand that, but I know she will take good care of herself. She did it in the past living alone. She was good enough to put my life back together I am sure she can fix her own. I just wish she wasn't doing it alone." Zero admits.
"I wish the same. I worry for her and even the child. That she is all alone and going to give birth. She should have someone with her. At least one of us if not both of us. I told her, I would be there for her and she still didn't listen to me. She ran off not telling me a thing." Kaname grumbles.
"I know I have a lot to do with her running off. I was stubborn and didn't read the note she left me. I wanted to hurt her as she did me, I didn't think she was pregnant or she would leave going off somewhere. I just thought she would pout, like she always did for a while." Zero states.
"Pout? She isn't sixteen anymore Zero. Those days are long over. She was hurting and still managed to pull herself through this and figure out a way. She didn't tell me she was pregnant, she just stayed away from me. So I didn't know. If I wouldn't have gone to the mansion I wouldn't have known either. For six months she hid it from me. Even the scent, when she was around me. I normally can tell, yet nothing. I am not sure where or how she learned all this. I guess, me keeping her at arm's length, she learned to do the same. Just better." Kaname confesses.
"I am no better. I also kept her far, because I didn't want to get hurt. I didn't do any better when I didn't know it was her. It was the best time in my life and I was still trying to say it was just a job. Not even appreciating everything she really did for me till now." Zero responds.
"We have to make this better Zero. I know we are not friends but for this, we will have to work together and show her we can be. So she believes us and trusts us." Kaname replies.
"That is if we find her first. I don't feel that is going to be easy. We may never find her. It may be too late." Zero admits.
"I thought of that as well, I am just trying to hold some faith. I would never be able to look at myself again if I couldn't find her." Kaname says looking out the window on his side.
"Same, to never see my child isn't something I want. For her to think I gave upon us, and left her, isn't something I wish either." Zero answers feeling deeply sadden himself.
