Chapter 8

Yuki was at her last end when she met Kaname in front of the fountain. Her flashes of terrifying visions were getting worse and she felt like she was going insane.

Kaname smiled at her arrival. "It's no fun always meeting up on school grounds. Should we go somewhere tomorrow?"

She refused to look at him. "Kaname, listen I….Kaname you still haven't answered my question!"

He answered in fake confusion. "About what?"

Yuki turned to face him for the first time today. "I want to know, if somehow, someway or another you are connected to my past! Hanabusa told me something. He said that you said I was special because it was the best way to protect me. As if there is something...what are you trying to protect me from? Is something going to happen to me?"

Then she lowered her head and muttered. "And when you said to be yours.." Was it a lie?

She raced forward and banged her fists on his chest. "Come on Kaname, please! Please answer my question!"

Suddenly she gasped as another attack grew upon her. She clutched her head in pain as she willed the blood filled thoughts to leave.

Kaname moved forward and worriedly placed a hand on her shoulder. "Yuki? Yuki!"

She tried to speak in the midst of the attack. "I-I just want to know."

He tightened his hold on her and tried to stop her attack. "Yuki, calm down, Yuki!"

She shook and found herself losing more and more of reality. "What's happening!? I don't understand what's happening. Who are you to me? How are we connected? Tell me what happened to me Kaname! I just wanna know what the truth is…"

Yuki felt another wave come and she was just too tired to fight it. She fell forward, into Kaname's arms. He held her with great care. He tried to call out to her but didn't respond.

The only thing she said was "Kaname tell me. Why everytime you look at me, you're eyes are so sad." Before fainting in his arms.

Rose walked into the Headmaster's house and paused when she heard the conversation going on in front of her.

She saw Yuki hung in Kaname's arms talking to the Headmaster. She listened to there conversation.

The headmaster looked at Yuki in sadness. "It seems that finally, the time has come."

Rose's heart internally dropped as she knew her sweet dream was going to be over soon. She came into view and everyone turned to her.

The Headmaster gazed at her with pity. "Rose…."

She looked at the two of them with the pained expression before storming out of the room.

Zero was sitting in his room, listening to the rain pound against the side of the window. He hadn't seen Rose all day and it worried him to no yet.

He paused his worry when he heard a knock on the door in front of him. Standing up, he opened the door and gasped at the sight before him.

Rose was standing in his doorway, drenched from head to foot. Her clothes were dripping wet and her blonde hair hung on her face like viel.

Tear stained could be seen on her cheeks and the look in her eyes was something he had never seen before. She looked broken.

He ran to her and put a hand on her shoulder. "Rose! What's happened?!"

She slowly brought her gaze up to his and raced forward, grabbing him in a hard kiss.

Zero gasped at the impact and questioned what brought this one. She aggressively ran her hands through his hair, like she was desperate for his touch.

He grew more and more worried as he physically rip her off of him. "Rose? Rose. Rose! Calm down!"

She buried herself in his chest and held onto him for dear life. He had never seen her like this and it scared him to no end. "Rose, what happened?! Please calm down."

She slowly lifted her head and looked into his eyes, tears threatening to fall. "Love me Zero. Please...I just need you right now."

His heart broke in front of her as he nodded his head in understanding before gluing himself back onto her.

Her kisses were hungry and quick, different then before. He could feel the desperation in her touch and in her actions. Everything she did was so rough and sloppy.

Zero's hand found her lower back and pulled her closer to him, willing her pain away. He didn't know what was wrong but he could feel that something terrified her.

She broke away only for a second before shoving him down onto the hard surface of his floor, before returning to his mouth.

She leaning in closer as Zero had to break away from the intense feeling. Breathing heavy she understood and attacked his neck, nuzzling it ever so slightly.

She created a trail of sloppy kisses on his neck and Zero gasped when he felt her tongue run up and down the soft spot in the middle. This lasted for a few more moments before she plunged her fangs deep in his skin.

The bite wasn't gentle like the times before. He now understood that she was holding back before and now she wasn't holding anything back.

The warm honey filled Rose up as she tried to remember what he smelled like, what he tasted like. Her Zero. The only one who understood her fully.

She looked up and Zero was entranced by her blood red crimson eyes. Whipping the excess blood from her lips, she stared at him and tried to remember every detail of his face.

He reached his hand up and touched her cheek, which she closed her eyes and nuzzled against it. Zero was in shock, this was the most passionate and the most open she had ever been. There wasn't a shield between them like before. He felt like she was showing him her true self.

He withdrew his hand and spoke carefully. "Tell me what happened. Please…"

She closed her eyes in pain and looked straight at him. "Thank you."

He lifted his head in confusion and sat up. "What?"

She placed a hand on his chest and smiled through streaming tears. "Thank you for caring for me Zero.I just wish I deserved it."

Zero's eyes widened as he pulled her back to force her to look at him. "Hey, no. What are you saying?"

She smiled even more and placed her hand in his cheek. "I love you so much Zero. I really wish I didn't but I do, I love you."

He smiled and placed his hand on her. "I love you to Rose."

Rose's smile turned into a grimace as she wished things could be easier. "Thank you. I'll never forget this moment."

Zero's smile dropped as a pain started to form in his chest. "Wait. Why are you saying that like you're leaving?"

She closed her eyes in acceptance and began to walk towards the door. "I mean it Zero, Thank you."

He ran forward and grabbed her hand. "Wait! Don't leave, we can figure this out together. Please, just lean on me."

She sighed and wiggled out of his grasp. "I wish it was that easy."

Then before he could stop her, she raced out of the room. Stopping at the doorway of the dorms she ran her fingers through her hair and gave a heavy sigh. It was time to wake up from this dream.

Rido watched the girls dormitory with amusement. "Very soon it will be in my possession. And when it is, I will then make a full resurrection."

Takuma gasped as he felt Kaname presence behind them. Rido felt it also and turned to face him, mocking. "You know, when that child awakens from her slumber, her sweet dreams will then turn into nightmares. And her furious fangs will start destroying her from the inside, and I won't even have to lift a finger. And then with her blood…."

Kaname cut him off from his preachings. "Rido, don't delude yourself."

Suddenly a bright ball flew by and landed on his shoulder. Takuma stood in shock at the presence, it was the phoenix from the party. "You're filthy hands will never touch her."

Then in a second both the bird and Lord Kaname vanished.

Rose walked into the abandoned mansion with a mission. Opening the door to the far right room she stepped in and front it.

She walked over to the coffin and lifted the top off of it. At least she was able to have some sort of freedom she thought before taking the hand in the coffin.

She felt tizzy and collapsed into the floor below. A few moments later the body in the coffin opened her eyes.

Kaname entered Yuki's room to find her in utter distress. She ran towards him in fear and started crying extremely loud.

His heart broke for her as he used his powers to make her forget that terrible time. Zero heard Yuki's cries and burst into the room in fear.

He look up to find Kaname carrying her out of the room. "What are the doing with Yuki?"

Kaname lowered his eyes in annoyance. "You will not betray her."

Before disappearing, leaving the window open.

Yuki awoke to the sight of red snow falling around her. Everything was dyed with blood, she could see that now.

She heard the low voice of Kaname next to her speak. "Yuki that's enough. It's time that you wake up, before you go mad."

She closed her eyes in acceptance and Kaname wraped his fingers around her hair. He then lowered his head and bit onto her.

The taste that he had been waiting for ten years filled him as he plunged his fangs further and further.

Yuki opened her eyes and regained her senses when she realized what was being buried in her neck. It was Kaname's fangs. She tried to break away and struggle from his grasp. "Kaname..what you are…"

He placed a hand over her mouth to keep from crying out as he enjoyed this moment.

Her vision became blurry and the world started to spin. She could just barely make out a fiery creature watching her every move

She started to shake from the pain and shock as she felt something crack and break inside of her.

Kaname removed his hold on her neck and slowly bit his wrist. Then he leaned forward and kissed Yuiki, giving her the first taste of blood.

The air around the academy shifted everyone should smell what had just happened. But to them it seemed impossible.

He pulled away and Yuki gazed longly in his eyes. "Yuki, have you awoken? Do you remember who I am?"

She felt the tears well up in her eyes and cursed how she could ever forget someone so important to her.

Yuki reached up to touch his cheek when he heard a clicking of a gun. They looked up to find Zero shaking and aiming his bloody rose towards them. "I know that smell, it's Yuki's blood. However, now I sense two vampires! Kaname, you turned Yuki!"

Yuki gasped and ran in front of Kaname. "No stop it Zero! This man he's….my older brother!"

Zero drew his gun back in shock. "You're siblings?"

Just then Yuki started to fall backwards and Kaname caught her with ease. "That's right. However if I was truly born her older brother then I would've been much happier."

Zero trembled from the news and shouted at him. "Shut up!"

He pulled the trigger and shot headed straight for Kaname. He didn't even release it never reached him before it was too late.

A fast gust of wind flew past him as he realized something shift his arm to the left, causing the bullet to fly in the opposite direction.

He looked back up to find a familiar yet strange new pair of eyes. "I can't let you do that Zero."

His eyed widened at the sight of her. She looked the same as a few hours ago and yet so different. Her pale blonde hair seemed to have grown down to the floor, she was at least a foot taller and her eyes were a deeper blue than before.

He smelled the air around her and realized her presence. "Rose? That smell….you're a…but it's impossible."

She looked at him with a blank expression before bringing her face into a wide smirk. "A pureblood? Well yes, and I suppose I should tell you that Rose Belcourt isn't my true name."

Kaname lowered his eyes as Zero took a shaky step forward. It couldn't be.

He started into her foreign eyes as she answered. "My true name is Rosabella. Rosabella Adelaide."
