well, at least this forty-nineth chapter is longer than the last chapter, though not by an overabundance of words. this newest forty-nineth chapter of my first ever 'Vampire Knight' fanfiction, which is still my only 'Vampire Knight' fanfiction has a simple nine-hundred-ninety-nine words of storyline to it, give or take a comment from yours truly disguised as an author's note hidden within the chapter, itself. it is a storyline that, once again, doesn't include this explanatory headnote, right here, nor does it include the (mandatory) disclaimer which 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.
It was not very long after I had finished my shower from within the idiot headmaster's guest room that I had managed to find Yuuki in a completely random room at the academy. I was rubbing a towel against my face as she just lay on the couch with none a care in the world.
I just could not even believe that a girl like her actually had the nerve to think that she needed to be an adult right away at the time, especially when considering that such a part of her was ironically her greatest weakness contrary to what she thought of herself. The only real reason my Yuuki felt as obligated to become an adult as she did was actually because she wanted to be worth that Kaname Kuuran's time.
A/N: I know that Yuuki feels like she needs to be worthy of that Kaname Kuuran. if you ask me, though, that Kaname Kuuran's the one who's not worth Yuuki's time, especially when thinking about everything he had ever done when trying to secure her future with him.
I guess that she was asleep as she just lay there on that couch in silence while I hovered over her, totally unnoticed.
Yours Truly: Hey, are you asleep?
I stepped aside for a moment if only to get a blanket for my Yuuki as she slept on the couch, completely unaware of my presence. I placed the blanket upon her figure as she slept.
Yours Truly: You'll catch a cold.
That was when I heard my Yuuki say something as she slept.
Yuuki Cross: Kaname, I…
I suddenly gasped in alarm at her saying his name, of all the things she could have said to me the minute I put a blanket on her as she slept. I could practically feel my heart just shatter at the very mention of my worst enemy's name from the girl I lo_ secretly thought very fondly towards. In fact, my Yuuki might as well have been the only girl I felt that way about at Cross Academy. I still did not believe that I was in love with her, though. It was not as though it were anything of that sort. I looked at her gauze.
Then, as if things could not get any worse for me at that exact moment, I suddenly felt my vampiric urges taking control over me once again. I felt like such a puppet on a string to the level E vampire within. It was as though I was hypnotized by the beast in human form, as my dearest Yuuki once referred to a level E.
I struggled to regain my self-control for the first time ever that night. I was only glad that my darling Yuuki was not conscious enough to see me fight against my inner demons as she lay right next to me. I held onto my throat as I tried to regain my self-control.
Then, of all people to find me struggling with my own self-control, of course it would have had to have been none other than that Kaname Kuuran. Destiny would have been too kind to me if it were not that Kaname Kuuran standing at the doorframe.
Kaname Kuuran: Let's go outside.
I did as that Kaname Kuuran said and followed the pureblood vampire outside, despite my hatred towards him that went unrivaled, especially when knowing of his vampiric lineage and how it connected him to that Shizuka Hio, the vampire who butchered my parents, took my twin brother from me and turned me into the sick and vile creature I was in the present. If there was one last thing I wanted to do in that room, it was reapply the blanket to my Yuuki as she slept on that couch since I had accidentally pushed it away from her as I struggled with my vampiric urges at the time.
Once he and I had finally made it outside, what I had originally thought was going to be just him talking to me turned out to be a monologue from that Kaname Kuuran of the threatening and completely unkind variety.
Kaname Kuuran: I've never told you why it is that I pretend to be unaware of what's happening to you. I realize how precarious the peace is here at Cross Academy. That's why I have given it a great deal of thought as to just who in this little garden would best benefit Yuuki. I know that you would never betray her, because you realize you owe her that much.
I could only scowl at his reasons for never once hurting me in front of my dearest Yuuki and continuing to behave just as a perfect honor student would if only for her. There were ultimately no words to describe the sheer magnitude of a closet jerk this guy really was.
A/N: I know. both Yuuki and the Night Class students might as well just give up on trying to find anything truly angelic about that bastard, Kaname Kuuran, and I really do think that they all should give up on him.
Kaname Kuuran (continued): And that is why I am allowing you to live, Zero.
I was right about that Kaname Kuuran all along. He really was a jerk face underneath his perfect exterior, a big, fat, insensitive, uncaring jerk face. I knew what everyone saw in him, but I was going to keep his real self my secret. I would have never done it for that Kaname Kuuran, though. I kept Kaname's true nature a secret from everyone he knows and who admires him for their sakes, especially for my darling Yuuki's sake. I hoped that she would never see the true darkness of her own savior's soul. It would have made her see herself as a horrible person in addition to that Kaname Kuuran.
