well, here's the forty-eighth chapter of my first ever and my only 'Vampire Knight' fanfiction, 'Life with Yuuki: 'Vampire Knight' As Told by Zero'. yes, I'm well aware that this chapter is a rather short one, and at a mere four-hundred-twenty-one words at that, give or take a few that make up the comment from yours truly hidden within the chapter and disguised as an author's note. although, I'm not sure if the author's note part is just a disguise or not in this forty-eighth chapter. the storyline for the forty-eighth chapter of 'Life with Yuuki: 'Vampire Knight' As Told by Zero', along with its author's note from me doesn't include this explanatory headnote, right here, nor does it include the (mandatory) disclaimer that makes up the following paragraph.

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.


As soon as I had finished firing off a round or two from the gun in my hand for a short while, I suddenly found myself remembering the day I had first met my Yuuki after being brought by the idiot headmaster of Cross Academy to his house on the grounds.

I remembered how cold it was that night. I could barely feel my feet back then, but I still wanted to freeze to death that night anyway. I remembered the look on my Yuuki's face back when she had been told that my family was killed by a bad vampire. I remembered when the first time I had talked to my Yuuki and told her further about that Shizuka Hio. I remembered when my Yuuki tried to introduce me to her Kaname Kuuran only for her good intentions from that encounter to completely and totally backfire on me.

I remembered everything following the events when I first met the idiot headmaster and my dearest Yuuki. I could also remember what I had said about that Kaname Kuuran to his face just before the dawning of the Night Class at Cross Academy should he have double-crossed the headmaster, my Yuuki and me.


A/N: I'm sure you all remember Zero's exact words about Kaname Kuuran and to his face upon hearing that his presence in the Night Class would ensure ideal behavior from all other vampires at Cross Academy.


At the memory of that little moment in my past, however, I only slammed my fist against the table next to me which separated me from the target bay I always used for practice with my Bloody Rose anti-vampire gun on school grounds.

Yours Truly: He wasn't the one who proved to be the traitor.

I could easily swear that if Kaname heard that from me or any other vampire in the Night Class for that matter, not one of them would ever let me live it down… I just know it. I then looked at my hand trying to find solace in myself but failed so miserably to do so.

A few more minutes or so following my fit of self-pity and self-hatred that I really would have rather kept completely personal from the rest of the school, I decided that a shower in the headmaster's bathroom might as well be just as good an action as any to clear my head up and start anew for the rest of the night.
