Yuuki sat in class deep in her own thoughts. She didn't bother trying to pay attention to the lessons. They never made sense to her and her grades were so bad there was no way they could get worse.
It had been four days since Zero bit her in the bathroom. Four tingly days filled with an anticipated hum that glowed through her body rising over her skin.
And in those four days she had not even seen a glimpse of Zero. He was shutting her out again. Confusion filled her as she tried to think of why. What had she done in the bathroom to make him upset with her?
The memory flashed in her mind. Zero looking up at her as he stood crouched between her legs. And then him standing so close to her they almost touched.
Yuuki felt her stomach clench and a faint pooling between her legs. Shocked she wondered if she had wet herself.
"Yuuki, are you ok? Your face is flushed." Yori's concern made her blush even more in shame.
"I…I need to go lie down." Yuuki stammered before rushing out of the classroom.
Reaching the bathroom she peeled down her underwear surprised that it wasn't urine but something else that had wet her underwear. The same thing had happened in the bathroom ith Zero. Was she sick? Worried, she rushed to the infirmary.
The nurse was out for lunch so Yuuki walked over to one of the beds that lay behind a curtain. Pulling it back she found Zero sleeping.
...
Blood, so much blood. Zero looked at his hands in horror and then at Yuuki's body. Blood poured out of her neck from his bite.
"Yuuki!" he screamed sitting up.
"Zero, are you ok?" she looked down at him with a concerned look on her face.
He wrapped his arms around her and pulled her down on the bed with him, holding her tightly.
"Yuuki," he breathed.
...
Yuuki lay in his arms on the bed, listening to him whispering her name into her hair.
...
Zero slowly became aware of how she was pressed against him, her soft body molding to his.
Raising his head, he looked into her eyes knowing that being pressed against her as he was she could feel how much he wanted her.
He watched her eyes fill with soft desire as well as confusion.
He knew it would be a bad idea but he kissed her anyway.
...
Yuuki watched Zero's eyes turn red just before he pressed his lips against hers.
Her body hummed against his, and her lips tingled against his.
...
A soft moan escaped Yuuki's lips making Zero pause before his kiss became stronger and more demanding.
...
Yuuki felt Zero's tongue slip into her mouth making her stomach clench. This time when she felt the pool of moisture she understood it for what it was.
Secretly she read romance novels and would imagine herself and Kaname-Sempai, but it had never felt right. Now she understood what the heroines would feel at the touch of their loved one.
Guided by what she read, she hesitantly returned the kiss.
...
The feel of Yuuki's tongue against his own made a small growl leave Zero's throat. Urged by the feeling, his mouth became rougher and followed a quicker pace and he slowly moved his body against hers.
...
Moaning, Yuuki accepted the kiss and instinctually bucked her hips against him. Her body was on fire burning brighter with every touch he gave her.
...
Zero moved his mouth from hers and trailed down her neck pausing for a moment on the glorious skin. He wanted to bite her. The need was so strong he jerked away gasping.
He was disgusted with himself. In this moment of passion all he could think about was gorging on her blood. It was monstrous.
...
The sudden space between Yuuki and Zero made her want to weep. The need was so strong. She looked into his red, desire filled eyes and wondered what had gone wrong. "Zero, did I…" she swallowed. "Did I do something wrong?"
...
Zero grabbed her shoulders, "No." he said firmly. "You did nothing wrong it's just…"
The sound of the nurses footsteps entered their minds.
Zero placed a finger over his lips before getting ff the bed and slipping out from behind the curtain.
"There you are," the nurse replied sweetly. "I was just about to check up on you. How are you feeling?"
Zero sighed and replied, "I'm feeling better but still a little dizzy. Could you help me to my room?" He tried to sound convincing, letting some of his shame through and hoping she would fall for it.
"Of course, are you sure you don't want to rest a bit longer here?"
Zero shook his head and grudgingly allowed the nurse to guide him out of the door.
...
Yuuki listened to Zero and the nurse leave the room. She would wait a few minutes before leaving herself.
Laying back down on the bed she tried to figure out what had gone wrong.
It had been amazing. Zero had filled her with emotions that she never knew existed. Even with Kaname-sempai she didn't feel the aching burn to be touched.
She loved Kaname-Sempai, would always love him, but in truth her love for him was childish and innocent at best. Over the years they had pulled away from each other and she had attached herself to Zero.
With Kaname-Sempai, there would never be burning desire and passion, but would she be able to stay with Zero? How could she when he wouldn't let her?
She was so focused on her thoughts that, when she stepped out from behind the curtain, she ran right into Kuran-Kaname.
