welcome to the forty-fourth chapter of my only 'Vampire Knight' fanfiction, 'Life with Yuuki: 'Vampire Knight' As Told by Zero'. this forty-fourth chapter is a good, long one-thousand-two-hundred-twenty-seven words worth of pure storyline. it is a storyline that doesn't include this explanatory headnote, right here, nor does it include the (mandatory) disclaimer which makes up the paragraph following the headnote, here. this forty-fourth chapter is all about when Yuuki visits Zero during his quarantine by his vampire-hunting master, Toga Yagari. needless to say, Yuuki still has a bad opinion of Mr. Yagari, as he's known to the students of Cross Academy since he's posing as a teacher as was mentioned in chapter thirty-four AKA ten chapters ago, where he would be teaching Ethics to the school during his stay there.

disclamation: I don't own 'Vampire Knight' in the manga or in the anime. I can do nothing except write this fanfiction as I hate on Viz Media for the way they ended the 'Vampire Knight' anime. I hate Kaname Kuuran so much, I would kill him if I was in the series, myself, especially with what he does just to get the mindless followers that are the Night Class students off of his back. anyway, Matsuri Hino-san owns the manga and its sequel 'Vampire Knight Memories'. I haven't read much of the manga, but then again, I notice an insane amount of resemblance towards 'Vampire Knight' and my one true manga, 'Fruits Basket'. if you ask me, those are both far better love stories than 'Twilight' could have ever even hoped to be.


I spent the next day or longer in the idiot headmaster's guest room, but not as a pleasure stay. Oh no. I was sent to the idiot headmaster's guest room as a quarantine measure for the sake of there no one else falling victim to my thirst for blood.

After the next day at school and well into the Night Class's lessons, there was a knock at the door all of a sudden. I grew afraid of just who could possibly be at the door to the headmaster's guest room to which I was being quarantined. I headed to the door anyway to see if it was Master finally come to kill me for having drank the blood of a living human being, and my own dearest Yuuki at that. It would have been about time for it anyway, too.

I opened the door. Upon looking outside it, however, I only saw the face of my beloved Yuuki with a concerned expression on her face. For a second or longer, I actually believed that I had fallen asleep after several hours, and it was all just a weird dream, especially the part about Yuuki being at the door.

Yours Truly: Yuuki, how did you_

I tried to, but I could barely finish asking my dearest Yuuki my question. So, she took over the conversation for me.

Yuuki Cross: Why are you staying in this room just because that guy told you to?

I should have known that that was where my Yuuki would go with the conversation between the two of us. I just turned my head away from looking at her any further before I could succumb to even my lust for her if not for her blood.

Yuuki Cross (continued): Zero, there's no lock on this door. So, why don't you just leave?

I tried to talk her out of her quest to see me again. I certainly knew that I no longer had the right to see her ever again, especially with what I had done to her when the vampire within me had first awakened.

Yours Truly: Go home.

I then tried to close the door, but my precious little Yuuki kept it open when she slammed her hands in the space between the door and the doorway, effectively blocking it from closing.

Yuuki Cross: Hold on. Why are you doing whatever that guy says?

She really wanted to know why I did whatever Master said I had to do? It was all because of that day when I was a child that Master risked his life to save both my brother and I from that one vampire who used to be very kind before she was revealed to be a vampire who began her life as a human. I explained Master's methods and motives to my dearest Yuuki.

Yours Truly: My family has been vampire hunters for many generations. Even my parents were vampire hunter. When I was a kid, there would be long stretches of time when my parents would go away. That man would look after my brother and me as both our teacher and our guardian. And that was when it happened, when I saw what they call a level E vampire for the first time.

I flashed back to when I first saw what was known to vampire hunters as a level E.

Yours Truly (continued): The head nurse at our grade school was a kind and beautiful woman. But in truth, she was a vampire that was formerly a human.

I flashed back to the day when my grade school's head nurse finally succumbed to her transformation into a level E vampiress right in front of my brother and I as I explained my past with vampires further to my precious little Yuuki. In my flashback, the head nurse attacked both my brother and I the minute she finally fell to her status as a level E vampiress.

Yours Truly in the present day: One day she suddenly transformed into a ferocious vampire right in front of us.

Then, Master had his anti-vampire gun pointed at my grade school's head nurse as soon as he had arrived on the scene. I tried to stop him from shooting the poor woman.

Yours Truly in my flashback: No! Don't! She's a good person. She doesn't deserve this!

I was almost killed when I tried to interfere with my Master's mission to end that thing. Master quickly pushed me out of the way of what used to be my grade school's kind head nurse and got her nails to the eye in exchange for his trouble, and it was all my fault. I had finally realized by then that the woman in that very room was no longer the kind, nurturing, motherly type that I had known before her descent into a level E vampiress. She was a monster by then, a beast in human form. My master sent another gunshot at her that only smashed her neck as the loss of his eye had hindered poor Master's shot.

I continued to explain to my little Yuuki without the use of my flashback from there.

Yours Truly: At that moment even when her neck was smashed, she continued to bare her fangs until the moment she died. And I became afraid of vampires for the first time ever. My master risked his life to teach me that lesson, and so if he says he has to kill me, then I…

Yuuki Cross: No.

Before I could finish my final sentence about a fear I had of vampires, Yuuki suddenly interrupted my thoughts about Master's oath to me from that day.

Yuuki Cross (continued): The truth is the only thing you're doing right now is choosing to hide in this room and give up on yourself.

My precious little Yuuki shook at what she had to say to me next.

Yuuki Cross (continued): You're the one who made me take that gun, even though I said I didn't want it. So, don't run away from me.

Yuuki backed away from the door to the idiot headmaster's guest room in which I was being quarantined at the time.

Yuuki Cross (continued): Let me in.

Of course, I could do nothing short of obey my Yuuki's request to let her into the room with me. She walked through the door as soon as she pushed it further open. Then, she grabbed onto my shaking hand shortly thereafter. I grew kind of nervous at her grabbing onto my hand. I did not know what was wrong with me at the time.

Yours Truly: Yuuki, what are you?

My precious little Yuuki then brought me over to the idiot headmaster's bathroom. What had that even been for if anything at all?

Yuuki Cross: No one will notice us in here. Let's continue where we left off last night.

Yuuki was going to have me drink her blood? Was she out of her mind or something? Wait, it was Yuuki. It was probably the 'or something', then. All I knew at the time was that I could never live with myself if I drank another drop of my Yuuki's blood.
