Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or any of its characters. I am merely a fan, just like you.

Next chapter is up! Thanks for the positive reviews, guys. It pushed me to update ahead of time. So, this idea just sprung up out of nowhere so it doesn't really have a plot going on here. I'm good with "going with the flow", so I guess you guys just have to check often in order to see where this ends.

Tah-tah!

Chapter 2

"Zero." Yuuki repeated. It was more like a whisper this time. She still didn't budge from her previous position, and continued to stare at Zero. He had this feeling that she was waiting for him to say something. Zero didn't though. Heck, he didn't know what there was to say. Yuuki was standing there right in front of him, cute and innocent her. He couldn't believe what had happened that night. It was just out of the way. The emotions that were surging through his body the minute his lips touched hers was wrong. Well, that's what he thought anyway. Yuuki's my friend. I grew up with her under the care of Kaien Cross. That's it. There's nothing special about us, right?

As Yuuki took a step closer to Zero, he came back to his senses. The two friends exchanged weird glances, and averted their gazes at the same time. Without another moment of thought, Zero nods to Yuuki as a quick greeting and disappears into the darkness of the hallways.

Staring at the ham sandwich left in the microwave, Yuuki sighs heavily. "Zero, why won't you talk to me?"

The following morning, Zero was found sleeping soundly in his seat. It wasn't an unusual site. Everyone in the Day Class had gotten used to the occasional drooling and snoring from the prefects of Cross Academy. Seeing him asleep wasn't new to Yuuki. It was just that, she sort of missed his company. Sure, she did feel uneasy about the little "incident" that occurred. That was something natural. She missed her childhood friend though.

"Hey Yuuki." Yori called, catching Yuuki's attention.

"Ye-yes?"

"What does being kissed feel like? Ne, have you ever experienced it?" asked the blonde in an aloof tone.

Yuuki paled at her friend's sudden interest in such a topic. "What made you bring that up? You're really being weird, Yori."

"Oh, am I? I'm not the one with the bright red cheeks, Yuuki." Yori said as she looked at Yuuki in the eyes. "Well, it's nothing anyway. Don't get too worried."

As Yori began shifting her attention toward her textbook, Yuuki lets out a sigh of relief. Gently touching her lips with two fingers, she suddenly remembers the feel of Zero's lips brushing on hers. She unconsciously blushes at the flashback, and decides to dismiss any thoughts about what happened. He just wasn't himself.

Zero was walking swiftly along the path towards the Moon Dorms, while Yuuki was desperately trying to keep up with his pace. He didn't know why she had been tailing him since they went on duty. Whenever he turned around in order to reprimand her about following him around, she'd only shake her head. They've been like this for too long now. He felt like suffocating from her being too close to him. He didn't want his bloodlust to act up again. It was a miracle enough that he was able to go to sleep after last night's ordeal. You make so hard for me, Yuuki.

"Kiryuu."

"Kuran." Zero replied, as he stopped in his tracks. "Aren't you supposed to be in class?" He gave Kaname a stern look.

"Nothing to be worried about. The Chairman asked for me, so I'm on my way to his office. I'm not out to wreak any havoc." Kaname explained coolly. Afterwards, he turned to look at Yuuki. His expression softened. "Good evening, Yuuki."

"Good evening, Kaname-senpai!" Yuuki cheerfully said. She smiled sweetly. She couldn't help it. Kaname just had this soothing effect on her everytime he would greet her. She was glad that she was able to see him tonight. At the very least, she didn't have to gaze at me from outside the window while he was busy in his own world--the Night Class. Without her noticing, Kaname walked towards. He gazed at her face, which was lost in thought. A simple smile crept on his lips as he did. "Yuuki."

"Huh?"

"Don't push yourself. I know you have your duties, but--" Kaname gently places his hand on Yuuki's cheek, slowly caressing it. Her face immediately turned red at Kaname's soft touch. Yuuki struggled with words, but she couldn't get anything to come out of her mouth. Thanks for always being so caring. If only she could say it to him without taking the risk of her face turning into a bright red tomato. Kaname..

In disgust, Zero started towards the Moon Dorms again. He couldn't allow himself to be distracted. He didn't own Yuuki. There was no reason whatsoever for him to feel so.. infuriated. Zero stole a quick glance at the pair and noticed that Yuuki was comfortably entangled in that man's arms. He shuddered at the look of contentment in her face. That's where she belongs. She's the happiest when she's with Kaname. He decided to focus on his work for the night. Since Kaname was out, he suspected that some of the unruly members of the Night Class would be acting up again. This is going to be a long night.
