The Level E froze in his tracks. Fear was written in his face and blood red eyes. The Bloody Rose was still smoking. The bullets had missed completely, but not due to poor aim on Zero's part. A hand had grabbed Zero at the last second.

Kaname turned crimson hues towards the Level E. "After I spared your life, this is how you repay us? By attacking my mate?" he growled. His calm voice was laced with anger. Even Zero knew better than to be in the kid's position at that moment. Kaname advanced towards the vampire, his eyes the only part of him that seemed enraged.

Yuki could tell that despite his attempts to stay calm, he was furious. It was scary to see a Pureblood angry. Even though Yuki was a Pureblood herself, it was a scary thought, to see how enraged her own kind could be. And, on top of it, it was her mate that was livid.

There was a flash and a gust of wind, then all was still. Only a pile of dust on the floor betrayed what had once been a living being. It made her sad in a way, to think that life could be so fragile. That her, her child and even Kaname and Zero could die and leave no trace that they had even existed. Even Human's turned to dust, but there was at least a body and a skeleton to mark their existence. But with vampires...they were eternal and yet... fleeting.

Kaname turned back towards the Hunter and the Pureblood. His crimson eyes cooling back to the dark pools that resided in his eyes. Those same eyes quickly examined the Hunter beside his wife "What are you doing here, Kiryu?" he asked calmly. He was back to his old self again. Complete with his dislike for Zero clearly written on his features.

Zero's face displayed the same sort of hatred for Kaname, but he held his tongue at least in front of Yuki. "I was sent here to kill that Level E" he replied bluntly. He grudgingly replaced the Bloody Rose in its holster. "But with my job done for me I'll be on my way" he turned to leave, nodding a curt goodbye to Yuki. He was going to have fun explaining to The Headmaster exactly why Kaname had killed the Level E.

Once Zero was out of sight, and the faint echo of a door opening and closing was heard, Kaname turned concerned eyes on his beloved wife. "Yuki..." he murmured, taking one of her hands in his "Are you alright?" his other hand caressed her cheek as he bent to stare into her endless brown eyes.

"Y-Yes.. I'm alright" she stuttered softly. Her doe like eyes looking up at him in a mix of relief and traces of fear from the near attack a minute before.

He placed a chaste kiss on her lips before allowing his hand to stray from her's and down to her thin abdomen "And our little one?" he asked. Concern for his wife and child grew in him, though he could tell she was alright, and instinct told him that the baby was alright. In truth though, one could hardly blame him for being so worried. After all he had lost in his life time, he was scared to loose anything else. Especially not the two best things that had ever happened to him.

Yuki quickly lowered her gaze to his hand before smiling quickly "Oh.. Its alright" she blushed "I-I didn't use the Artemis because of it. I was glad Zero showed up when he did otherwise I might have been hurt by the time you got here" She smiled up at him.

Kaname returned her smile and started guiding her back to the bedroom, his arms in a protective embrace around her. His nose didn't point out anything else out of the ordinary, but the recent events had caused him to want to protect her even more.

Yuki tilted her head and looked up at him, her long hair flowing to the side "Kaname?" she asked "W-Why are you back so soon? I thought you had a meeting?" It wasn't that she wasn't glad to see him back so soon, quite the other way around actually, but she couldn't help but wonder why he'd shirked his duties as the Head of the Vampires.

Kaname swung the door to the bedroom open, guiding her inside before closing it. "I was on my way to the meeting when I caught the scent of that Level E... and Zero. I knew something had to be wrong for them to be so near the house. So, I came home." His rich voice made it sound as if it was the most natural thing in the world for him to have done. It almost sounded as if there would be no ill return for having abandoned the meeting.

Yuki figured there most likely wouldn't be to many repercussions for leaving the meeting since it was majorly to begin founding versions of Cross Academy across the world. However, it was still something that he should be there for. Instead, he guided her to the bed and laid her on her back, before laying beside her. His arms around her protectively. His deep eyes watched her with the deepest affection possible before he shifted, sitting up on his elbow. "I'd be surprised if this didn't even make you thirsty..." he stated calmly, hints of amusement in his eyes.

She propped herself up too and blushed at his remark "W-Well, it did make me a little thirsty..." she confessed. The words had barely escaped her lips before he'd pressed her to his neck. She could smell the fresh blood just below the surface and it was driving her insane. Exposing her tongue, she licked his neck, just above a vein. That brief taste of him increased her thirst. Her eyes turned a bloody crimson as she bit into him, none to gently, but none to roughly either.

His hot blood poured down her throat, helping to nourish her body. It always left her a little in shock at how much his blood energized her. When she drank, she felt she'd never get enough. With each drop of his blood in her mouth, she felt his constant love for her. Constant and growing. Like sand on the beach, or water in the oceans. She closed her eyes at the warm sensation. Vaguely, she felt his arms wrap around her, holding her closer in a loving embrace.

Kaname closed his eyes as she drew his life force. If it was by her hand, he would accept anything that she had to give him, even death. If she wanted his blood, he would give it without complaint. It was the very least he could do for the woman he loved so completely. When he did this he always felt as if he was in tune with her. He was nourishing her body, and their child. It was a warming thought for someone who'd been alone so long. He'd almost grown used to not being fed from. He'd grown used to not feeding in long periods of time. But now, with her in his arms, and her fangs in his neck, he was glad that she was there to feed from him.

Thus, as the sun began to set outside, trailing long shadows across everything it touched, Kaname remained in an embrace with his dearest love. Long after she had finished feeding, he pressed her close to him. Her heartbeat had matched his and now beat in perfect time. A third, smaller heartbeat, joined the duo. Kaname smiled slightly. The smaller, more rapid heartbeat that told him their child was there. How he hadn't sensed it before was beyond him. But he could sense it now. Pulling his beloved closer, he buried his face in her neck and closed his eyes.

Night was the time of the vampires, but the vampires day had been tampered with. And for this night at least, Kaname felt like sleeping through part of his day.
