Disclaimer: Is Vampire Knight a yaoi manga? ARE Zero and Senri having hot sex on each and every page of the manga. Then do I own Vampire Knight?

Bloodlust

A Walk To Remember

Senri's P.O.V

Zero suddenly frowned, looking from the girl back to me. What was going through his head?

"We need to get the girl home," Takuma said, from behind me. I looked over; finding blood all over the alley floor but the body was gone, Takuma probably already having disposed of it. I'm guessing he didn't hear me ask the girl earlier.

"I can go drop her off, while you take care of the mess," I offered, really hoping he would agree. I did not want to clean up…

"Sure!" He smiled. Really, how was he a vampire?

"Alright…" I added, really just for the sake of it. I glanced back at Zero, he was looking at the blood.

"I'll come with you." He said, turning to look at me from the blood.

"Uhh…" I wanted him to come, of course I did, but would Takuma agree?

"Oh my God, Zero! You're right, we shouldn't send Senri out all by his lonesome, he'll get bored. You go with him. I can get this place clean in a whiff." Takuma exclaimed, a grin over his face the entire time.

I tried to hide my smile, hoping that it didn't show. I grunted, "Whatever. Let's go…" I realized that I didn't know the little girls name. Zero walked over to the little girl and I, and I'm quite sure that I was slowly going red in the face.

I swallowed hard, so I could stop the blush and looked down at the girl. "So what's your name?"

"Miyuki." She mumbled, looking down at her feet.

"Well Mi-chan, where do you live?" I asked, giving her a cute nickname. Zero was now standing on the other side of the girl, looking down at her. He got down so that he was level with her head and tilted his head to a side and with a smile said, "Mi-chan, I saw you run here so if you're not sure where we are, I can lead us back to the main street?"

My heart thumped so fast that I was sure it would pop right out of my chest. He looked so cute. I squeezed Miyuki's hand, trying to control my hormones. God, is he pretty…

She nodded, cutely and Zero ruffled her hair, smiling softly. I suddenly wanted him to ruffle my hair too…Zero got up from his kneeling stance and looked at me. I stared into his lilac eyes and melted. My cheeks burned red, so I quickly looked away.

"Which way?" I croaked. The little girl giggled.

"Right down the alley…" He trailed. I could feel his gaze on me, watching me closely.

I looked over and saw him pointing to an end of the alley; I immediately took off in the direction not quite waiting for him. I heard him walking behind us and it seemed he was getting closer. Suddenly I found him right next to me, and just a little too close for my already out of control, heart. He had an umbrella over my head. Of course, I need one or I'll burn in the sun…

"Thank-you." I mumbled, trying to keep a good distance between him and myself, while remaining under the umbrella.

"Mmhmm." He replied. I looked at Miyuki, she was watching me and Zero, giggling every so often. Huh…?

"So where to after we get out of the alley, Mi-chan?" I asked her, trying to get my mind off of the ever so close Zero.

"You can just follow me," she whispered.

"Okay…" I commented. I looked back up, in front of me and saw that we were out of the alley and into a bustling street. There were people everywhere, hurrying in every direction.

"This way," Miyuki, said tugging on my hand. We headed off to the right, Zero keeping in step. It was like butterflies were somersaulting in my stomach, if that's even possible. My heart was calming down a bit, seeing as this walk could talk long, but shivers were now going up and down my spine.

I kept my eyes to what was going on in front of me for I knew they would glance over to Kiryuu in a flash. The little girl lead me down the street and people stared at me and Zero as we went by. Some were even whispering.

"They're both guys, it's not possible!"

"Of course it is, they even have a little girl."

"She could be the silver haired one's sister, they have the same eyes."

"Then why is the other boy holding her hand?"

"He's probably a friend!"

My eyes were getting wider with every passing statement…I looked at the ladies doing the whispering and they instantly stopped talking. They though he was my… husband…? Wait…why husband, he could by my wife! Right…? If it wasn't for the fact that I was being tugged along by Miyuki I would have fainted then. Zero seemed unfazed by everything.

Miyuki had a strong grip for someone as little as her, she now took a left turn and we entered a street that was less crowded. "There's my house!" She said, happily. She pointed at a relatively middle-class home with a grocery shop in the front.

"I was supposed to go get the daily paper for papa but then that thing came and…" she trailed off. I saw a middle-aged women step out of the shop to talk to a man who was sweeping up some dirt from the front.

"That's mama and papa!" She exclaimed, getting happier. Soon enough she had let go of my hand and was running over to them. What she didn't notice was a cart that was going through the street at an alarmingly high speed. I shot out after her, but she was already in it's way. I grabbed her and rolled over to the other side of the road, just before the cart came.

"Ah!" I yelled. I had smacked into the wall of a house, my arm dug into something sharp. I could smell the blood coming out.

Zero ran over to us as soon as he could after the cart had gotten out of the way. He was kneeling beside me and Miyuki, who looked extremely scared. I saw her mother and father running over too. I let my head lie on the ground and sighed.

"You really like to get in trouble don't you?" I smiled at Miyuki. I wanted so bad to lick the blood off of my arm but if I did in front of Miyuki or her parents, it wouldn't go to well.

"Miyuki!" It was her mother.

"Mama!" She got off of me and ran to her mother, giving her a tight hug. Her father joined them and looked at her. I closed my eyes for a few seconds, trying to catch my breath.

"Are you okay?" I opened my eyes right away and saw Zero looking down at me with concern. He held the umbrella over our heads, protecting me from the sun.

"Oh thank-you so much!" Zero and I looked at the direction of the voice. It was the girls mother.

"No problem," I said with a smile. I got up so that I was sitting instead of lying in the dirt.

"Thank-you for saving my daughter." This time it was her father. I just nodded at him.

"Mama, they saved me from the monster that killed those two other people!" Miyuki explained, she had a cute little expression on her face.

Her parents eyes widened and they starred at Zero and me.

"It was nothing, we were only helping." Zero replied.

The two of them didn't seem to know what to say and just starred at us in awe. Zero got up and offered me his hand so I could get up off my ass.

"Th-thank-you, thank-you so much!" The mother gave Zero a warm hug, which he didn't quite know how to respond to, I was just happy she wasn't hugging me, but I was jealous that she had hugged him. I wanted to, too. She pulled out of the hug, on the verge of tears. Zero's hand was now gone…

"Well we just came to drop Mi-chan off, we'd better get going." I said, still sitting on my butt. Zero got his cool back and offered me his hand again, this time I took it. As I touched him, my heart began beating hard again, the butterflies were acrobats now and the shivers exploded like fireworks. But I was happy, happier than happy, ecstatic.

His hand was cold, but smooth and as I gripped it, he squeezed it tighter and pulled me right up. My knees felt weak so I kind of leaned in a bit towards him, accidentally getting very close to him. I almost landed my chin on his shoulder in my loss of balance and strength.

My body found itself in Zero's left arm and as I felt it against me I only got weaker. By now, everyone had noticed the blood running down my left arm. I got off of his arm and stood up on my own, barely. I looked back at the wall so I could avoid Zero's gaze and saw that I had hit a nail, that for some reason was jutted into the wooden walls the wrong way, pointy side out.

I blushed now, head pounding with thoughts of what had happened. I had nearly hugged him. I looked at Zero and couldn't believe my eyes. There seemed to be a rosy hint to his cheeks! Then my heart took a dive down the deep end, what if it was just because he was embarrassed? I felt an overwhelming feeling of sadness, but refused to show it.

"Oh my you're bleeding," Miyuki's mother said, her voice laden with worry. I was just looking at Zero, who was staring at Miyuki. I looked at the girl and she smiled at me. I blinked and then responded to her mother's words.

"I'm fine; it's just a small scratch."

"Oh but you helped save Miyuki twice, the least we can do is help you with your wound." She argued.

"Really it's okay. Besides we have to get back to my friend, he's probably waiting for us." I gave Miyuki a small smile, "Goodbye Miyuki and try to stay out of trouble."

"I will," she said. Then she ran over to me and gave me a hug. I looked down, slightly startled. She let go, so I kneeled down beside her, she gave me another hug but she whispered something in my ear, "You should tell Zero-san you like him." She giggled as she pulled away and went over to Zero to give him a hug. I sat there, surprised and not quite sure how a nine year old had scene my feelings…

I got up, blinking profusely before nodding at her parent and turned around. Zero had a surprised look on his face, kind of like mine and just walked over with the umbrella. I looked at my arm, a small trickle of blood crept down my arm into my hand.

"Thank-you again!" Miyuki's mother said behind us. I kept walking and Zero did the same.

There was a long silence as we walked back, I didn't listen to those around us or really paid any attention to my surroundings for that matter. I kept think back to the incident. And every time I did, my heart beat faster.

I then noticed an odd feeling coming from Zero, I looked at him from the corner of my eye and he was staring at me intently. He would glance at the blood on my arm every few seconds and then back at me. I frowned not quite sure why he was behaving so…did he want the blood? He was a vampire, even if it was an E. I saw a small alley up ahead and headed for it. I would clean the blood off, just so he would stop watching me so closely.

Zero followed me right into the alley and I saw him fight back an urge to lick the blood himself. I tilted my head to the side and looked at him. "Do you want it, Zero?" I asked him, extending my arm. His eyes widened and before I knew it, he had grabbed my arm and yanked my right into his arms.

I closed my eyes as he started to lick the blood off, savouring every lick and second in his arms.
