-Don't own nothing, etc.
- "Everything's bad for something."
.
Yuki awoke late in the morning to an empty bed, again.
It seems like he's always gone these days.. She sighed, sleep gave her little enjoyment anymore. Sitting up, she swung her legs off the floor was cold against her feet.
Glancing towards the window, she sighed.
It seems as though I'm always on the inside looking out...
.
Yuki peered down the hall from her doorway, in search of any signs her appointed guardian, Aidou.
More like her nanny, she smirked.
It was his job to keep her out of trouble whenever Kaname wasn't present.
Finally, satisfied that he was not in sight, she began tip-toeing her way towards the main entrance of the manor.
It was late afternoon now, and she had decided that she could no longer take being trapped inside of these four walls. They seemed to be almost, closing in around her.
She longed to feel the warmth of the sun on her face, the gentle breeze flow through her hair, and feel the soft grass between her toes. She ached to one day feel this way again.
So today, if only for a few hours, she was going to escape to this feeling once more. To converse with someone who was not a vampire for once, a real conservation... How she yearned for this. And why not? It's not as though I'm some sort of prisoner being held captive against my will, even if it almost feels that way sometimes...
Excitedly, she reached for the door knob.
"And where do you think you're going?" Yuki jumped, startled. She turned quickly, only to reveal Aidou standing behind her, his hands on his hips, scowling at her.
"Uhm... out-side..?" She stuttered smiling innocently at him. Drat, I've been caught.
"You know you're not supposed to leave the manor when Lord Kaname is out." He wagged his finger at her.
Yuki frowned and hung her head down in defeat.
"He'd be terribly angry with me if I were to let anything happen to you..." Aidou's face softened at the young girl as he walked towards her.
Yuki groaned, feeling conquered. She slowly began walking back to her room.
"I just wanted to go outside." She stopped just passed Aidou, "It always seems like Kaname never has time when he's here.."
Aidou frowned.
"I know it's been hard for you Lady Yuki.." He turned to face her, only to see her back facing towards him "But you know I can't go against Lord Kaname's orders..."
She sighed,
"I know..." She mumbled softly as she returned to her room, closing the door behind her.
"I know how you feel Yuki... and I truly am sorry..."
.
Zero groaned as he leaned against the wall, the lack of sleep was catching up to him.
"I worry about you.." Her voice echoed through his head, "Promise me you'll get more sleep.."
Little did she know, it was these memories that frequently kept him awake at night...
He can almost see her walking beside him on his way to class every day, hear her voice ring through the halls, see that smile that haunts his dreams. Why can't I just forget her...
"Zero, are you alright?" A soft voice came from behind him. Zero whipped his head around, eyes wide, only to see Yori standing behind him, her face full of worry.
He let out his breath, not realizing he had been holding it.
"I'm fine." He grunted as he quickly walked away.
.
Yuki knelt on the floor, resting her head on her hands against the window sill, staring outside. It was dark now.
Am I asking for too much? She sighed and closed her eyes. What should I do...
There was a soft knock on the door and she turned her head to peer at it.
"Lady Yuki?" the voice came through, "Please come out and eat something."
Yuki turned her head to return her gaze to the window, frowning.
"I'm not hungry Aidou."
A moment passed, and she heard his footsteps leaving her doorway.
Standing up, she clenched a fist, I will no longer be held here as a prisoner.
Rushing over to her closet, she retrieved a pair of shoes and she quickly packed a few articles of clothing away in her old school bag. Wrapping a cloak over herself to conceal herself as best she the window with her bag on her back, she jumped out, running through the forest towards the nearby town.
If only for a few hours, I will see those people I hold so dearly.
.
"Zero..." Yuki gently caressed his face, "You did this to me..."
He stood there confused.
"Did what? What did I do Yuki?" He could see her pained expression, and then saw the blood.
Why didn't I notice that earlier? His eyes widened in horror as he saw the blood pooling on the floor around them.
She cupped his cheek with her hand, forcing him to look at her. She smiled, a sad smile.
"You did this to me..." Her voiced echoed.
He shook his head grabbing her, holding her tightly against him.
Realization hit him, his hand's, they were covered in blood... Yuki's blood. He quickly pulled her away from him and looked in terror. Her shirt, it was soaked in blood.
"Yuki, what happened... Why are you bleeding?" He panicked, "Who did this to you?"
She took a step back.
"You did this to me... Zero..." Her face became emotionless and dark.
He reached forward to her. No I would never do this to her, I couldn't have!
Yuki dropped to the floor, limp. Zero rushed to her, scooping her up, cradling her body against him.
"YUKI! Please..!" He sobbed into her hair, he had finally killed her... It was his fault... "Please don't leave me!"
Zero jolted up in bed, covered in a cold sweat. He clutched his sheets shaking violently.
It was a dream... Sighing he moved to sit on the edge of his bed. Why do you do this to me Yuki... Why must you torment me so...
Frowning, he stood up and walked over to the bathroom, Looks like, Another sleepless night...
