Disclaimer: haha. I still don't own Vampire Knight!!!! :O

Slow down... this night's a perfect shade of dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room when I'm here with you?

I said the world could be burning down

Dark blue

Have you ever been alone in a crowded room well I'm here with you

I said the world could be burning 'til there's nothing but dark blue...

Just dark blue

"No"

Kaname had been surprised by her decline to his offer. It could only be his blood or the blood tablets. Once Kaname's hold on her loosened, she pushed herself off and struggled to go towards his desk where his blood tablets were.

Harumi took four blood tablets from its metal case and with no time to lose, swallowed them without bothering to dilute it in water. She winced as she swallowed. She absolutely hated it but she didn't want to drink Kaname's blood.

Kaname was watching her as her breathing slowed and became steady. She then faced him with a somewhat expressionless look on her face. Her usually electric blue eyes that shined in the dark were dull.

"Good morning then Kaname-sama, I shall be taking my leave." She said, bowing her head slightly.

He was dumbfounded, either for the fact that she had called him Kaname-sama or because she picked the blood tablets over his blood.

"Harumi, why didn't you-"

"Because I know I don't deserve your blood Kaname-sama." She cut him off. She then left his room, her eyes a bit watery, like she was about to cry.

He wanted to stop her, to make her stay with him, to hug her and prevent those tears from falling, to kiss her…

…But then, he knew he didn't deserve her either.


Harumi was looking outside her huge glass window, tiny raindrops pouring down from the dark indigo sky. She opened her window and jumped outside, landing on her feet with a small thud. She stood with her back against the wall, her face facing the sky. She was soaked, her cerulean nightgown clung to her body and her hair escaped its messy bun and was now down.

She sighed as tears escaped her eyes. She was being over-emotional and she hated it. But she knew she had to have an emotional breakdown once in a while. She took a deep breath so as to relax herself. The blood tablets were ineffective and she was still thirsty.

Zero was patrolling when it suddenly rained. That didn't stop him though. He liked patrolling in the rain. The sound of the rain pouring on the ground, the sound when his feet splash upon shallow puddles, the soothing feeling of the cold rain dropping on his skin…

Oh how he loved it.

His mood suddenly turned foul when he sensed a vampire nearby, a pureblood at that. Yet, it was the same aura he sensed a few hours ago, that strange yet compelling aura. A part of him badly wanted to approach the vampire… that irresistible pull; versus his vampire hunter instincts that made him want to rid this world of all purebloods.

Being a prefect, he had to reprimand whoever this vampire was.

She was leaning on the wall of the moon dorms when she sensed someone near the vicinity. She did not know this person. She tried wiping her tears with her hand but it proved useless. She didn't want anyone to see her in her present state. She looked vulnerable and pathetic… she hated it.

She looked to where the unfamiliar presence was. Her dull blue eyes met his lavender ones. She just stood there trying to regain her composure as she held her head high and kept her gaze on the young man's lavender orbs.

He was quite surprised at what he saw but he managed to hide it. The girl in front of him was the pureblood he had sensed earlier this evening. She was soaked to the skin and her eyes were red and puffy; She obviously recently cried. Yet she still held her head high and her eyes unwavering as she stared at his. He sighed to himself.

"Go back to your dorm before I report you to the chairman." His voice filled with annoyance, not because he hated her… In fact, it was quite the opposite. He hated himself for not hating her. She was a pureblood and he was a vampire hunter, yet he did not harbor any hostility against her.

She gave a muffled giggle, "So I'm guessing you're a prefect here? Then you must be Kiryuu Zero-kun?"

He was surprised yet again that she was able to completely change her mood. She was now smiling at him. Her eyes that were dull blue seconds ago shined electric blue. The rain slowly began to stop.

"How did you know?" He said, with a hint of displeasure. He groaned at the possible responses, knowing it had something to do with the chairman.

"Oh, Chairman Cross told me all about you and the other prefect, Yuuki Cross." She said while laughing at Zero's infuriated face.

He groaned. But hearing her melodious laugh made his insides feel like jelly, though he would never openly admit it. The pureblood he was talking to right now have a certain effect to him… he was not suppose to feel this way. He scowled, he just met this girl and now he thinks he's falling for her; and to think she's even a pureblood vampire. He doesn't even know her name.

She stared at him while he seemed to be distracted. She sighed then looked up to sky. The night sky was now clearer, just the perfect shade of dark blue and the stars slowly began to show themselves. The moon unblocked by gray clouds.


"Kana-kun!! Look at the sky! It's so pretty tonight!!" The young Harumi exclaimed to her friend.

The young Kaname laughed at his friend while staring at the sky. What she said was true. The night sky was indeed beautiful. Just the perfect shade of dark blue, and the stars were shining brightly.

'But it does not compare to your beauty, Harumi.' He thought to himself.

He wrapped her in his arms, leaning so that his forehead touched hers. They both stared at each others eyes.

Crimson red and electric blue…

Harumi blushed at his closeness, but she really didn't mind it. At least it was her beloved Kaname.

Kaname leaned in to taste her sweet lips.



She absentmindedly touched her lips at the memory. Oh how she missed being with Kaname… but they weren't meant to be together… that she knew.

Zero took a few steps closer to where she was. His movements made her snap her head to his direction. He was stunned to see that her electric blue eyes turned to crimson red. She gracefully made her way toward him as he stood there unmoving. He knew what would happen next, but he really didn't mind. He thinks he's gone crazy now. Just because of this vampire…

Her lips were touching his neck, licking just above his vein. Her arms wrapped around him, right hand gripping his hair. She knew this boy's not just any human. She had heard what happened to the Kiryuu's. 'So he's a level D, huh?'

"Please?" she whispered to his ear.

He stiffened. It was very unlike him but he just stood there, silently signaling his answer.

She smiled softly against his skin before piercing it. She gently sucked in his blood, careful not to waste any. She then licked the two punctures to close it. She looked up to him with a smile on her face.

But just then both had sensed another vampire, much more powerful than she was.

"Go back to your room, Harumi." Kaname said with a snarl, glaring at Zero.
