Chapter 19: 20 Questions lead to what? (Part 2)

A/N: I updated late again! I'm sorry if I can't keep my promise! I just hope more comments arrive! Thanks you!

Chapter start….

"Should I start first?" zero asked. Yuuki gulped as she heard the question.

"S-sure" she adjusted her seat on his bed. Zero pushed back some of his hair. He thought deeply about the questions he was about to ask.

"Here goes… Have you ever had a crush on anyone besides Kuran (or me, he thought idly)?" yuuki blushed after hearing his question.

"Well… I… I did" zero hid his shock, could it be me? He thought. Yuuki grabbed one of his pillows and hugged it to her chest.

"Who is he?" yuuki made a face. "That's two questions already! It's my turn now!"

Zero sighed. "Alright. Your turn now" Yuuki scratched the back of her head. She gasped as she thought of a great question. "Have you ever experienced first love with anyone in the Day Class? It doesn't matter what his/her gender is!" Zero shot her an icy glare. But she never minded it.

"Well, yeah I did" yuuki hit him with his pillow. "Wahh? You actually had a crush on one of those screeching Night Class maniacs? That's new!" she giggled at his response. He shoved the pillow to her direction. "She's not like the other girls, she doesn't scream when she sees 'them'", he shouted at her with both his hands on her shoulders, striking her an angry look.

Yuuki's eyes went wide as he retrieved his hands from her shoulders, looking the other way with embarrassment. "I'm sorry, Yuuki. I got carried away." He breathed.

"No, it's alright! It's your turn again..." she gripped the pillow firmly to her chest. "Second question, are you proud that the chairman is your 'father'" yuuki laughed loudly at that. "That's hilarious! Haha" zero covered her mouth so as to not arouse the senses of the pureblood resting near his room. Yuuki composed herself and sighed, small giggles still surrounding the room, making zero's eyes warm.

"No matter how silly it looks like, I actually am proud." She wiped some tears in her eyes, due to her previous laughter. "It's my turn now" she concluded.

She placed a finger under her chin and thought of a good question to ask him. "I'll ask the same question you asked" zero gasped in disbelief. "I'll answer the same answer you said then" Yuuki's eyes widened in delight. "So, I wasn't the only one happy about this, huh?" zero smirked at her.

"It's my turn, daddy's girl" yuuki pouted at his response. "How much does the chairman give you everyday?" his eyebrows raised. Yuuki tensed. The chairman always give her twice of what he gives Zero because he said that Zero never helps her do prefect duties.

"T-twice of what h-he gives y-you" she stuttered, her head down in dismay and embarrassment. Zero's face went red in anger; the chairman was always unfair to him. "Are you angry at me or with him?" she asked softly.

"At him…" she cut him off before he could finish. "Sheesh, I thought you were mad at" he cut her off evenly. "And of course, at you" he gritted his teeth in anger. "I deserved it anyway! If you weren't such a lazy little b-bumpkin!" she stuck her tongue at him. "B-bumpkin???" he repeated her words in disbelief. "Do you even know what that is?" yuuki shook her head violently, hiding her blush at the same time.

"Don't do that again, in-front of your 'Kaname-sama' I mean" yuuki strike him a glare. Zero held his breath for a moment.

"Your turn" she insisted. "What do you buy with the money?" he raised his brow. Yuuki tensed once again. He would think she's a glutton if she told him the truth. But anyway, she has to be honest since he's the only one around.

"L-lunch... and ch-cho-ch-choc" she stuttered. "Chocolate, eh? No wonder you're so heavy" yuuki sighed in relief... good thing he didn't say the 'f' word. "And fat" he continued. Yuuki didn't mind it because she knew it was coming. "My turn now! What do you do with yours, smart guy?"

"Lunch, of course, and things for my dorm" he answered boringly. "That was boring... why did you get mad about my lunch money being twice than the ordinary when you have nothing interesting to buy it with?" she raised a suspicion about him. Zero stared curiously at her.

"I know! You want to buy it, right?" she grinned. "Buy what?" he was shocked. How did she know of this, he doesn't even have an interest in those types of magazines yet she knew so well what those are…? Has she even read one? He was itching to know the details.

"Buy what, Yuuki?" she hit his forearms with his pillow. "You know it already! You're a human Sheesh!" he scratched the back of his head. Maybe he really was right; she knew something about mature stuff. The chairman didn't tell her anything about 'those' things right?

"What has Yori been feeding that mind of yours?" he asked. "Well, we're into fashion magazines! Oh! And Do-it-Yourself stuffs" he rubbed his temple in annoyance, she really was innocent. "Answer my question earlier! What do you want to buy with the extra money if you had twice your lunch money? You would buy 'it', right?" she asked.

"Buy what?" this time he was itching to know what she really meant since she was innocent. "You know! Chocolate! So that you could fatten yourself up more so that you could impress someone you had a crush on! You seem skinny to me so I guess you need it!" Zero's jaw dropped.

"Ch-Chocolate?" he repeated. "Yeah, chocolate! Wasn't that what you wanted?" he rubbed his forearm furiously. "That was stupid". Yuuki didn't face him. "Let me count off the questions you've asked... Let's see… 1... 5... 9... 10! You've already asked ten questions! You have ten left Zero!" She raised her arms in delight. "Yeah... and you have 13 more to ask me" zero counted hers off.

"Okay, next question, you like Hanabusa Aidou's teasing, don't you?" Yuuki's eyes widened once more. "No! He actually admitted it to me that it's a payback for hogging all Kaname-sempai's attention" Zero crossed his arms. "That clears the suspicion then". "S-suspicion? What suspicion was it zero?" yuuki was dumbfounded. He was suspecting her for something? That was new.

"That you're two-timing Kuran for that pompous blonde" yuuki giggled, he was confused, and she had never laughed over his insult before. "You got that right!" she concluded. "I-I was? You're two timing Kuran?" yuuki shook her head. "What I meant was you were right about Aidou-sempai being 'pompous'" zero sighed. "Of course I'm right! When was I ever wrong?" yuuki raised a brow at him.

"When you suspected me! You were wrong about that one!" she replied. "It's your turn" he boringly said. "When was the happiest moment in your life?" she asked curiously. "It's kind of mushy but it was when we went to the jungle with the chairman, after the rain, you played by the sea and laughed happily."

(The part where they go to the jungle isn't in the anime but in the Vampire Knight Drama CD!!!)

"Ah! So you're happy when I'm happy?" she looked up to his purple irises. "No. I'm happy when you're minding your own business. I fed myself with so many mangos that time, that was the life!" a smile tugged on his lips as he watched yuuki make faces. "That was expected" she sighed heavily. "My turn then, I'll ask you the same question"

"That's easy! Whe-when… when Kaname-sempai saved me from that other vampire on a snowy mountain! That's about it! Oh! And when you came to the house too! That was happy!" zero thought she never counted his arrival at their home happy, he was glad to hear that from her.

"Do you still like Ichiru-kun?" She asked. "Actually, yes. It's just his attitude…he's gone mad!"

"Oh…" was all yuuki could say. She didn't want to see Zero's emotion switch from happy to sad again just because she brought his brother back to the conversation again.

"What would you do if Kuran proposes to you right here, right now?" yuuki covered her face with her hands. "That's kind of personal, but I'd like to answer it." Zero felt a small blush creep to his face. "I like him… but I don't think I'm ready for that… I mean, I would like to marry him but I'm not so sure about that yet. Marrying him is impossible; the council would actually select another pureblood such as him to keep his bloodline alive. I wouldn't want to interfere with that" she frowned after saying it.

"That was long…" he replied. "Y-yeah…" she covered her blushing face. "W-well, if the girl you like is the one who proposed to you right now. What would you do?" zero gulped, good thing she wasn't aware that she was the girl he loved and cherished.

"I would accept her proposal of course; I love her too much… I guess" yuuki smiled, it was the warmest that he had ever seen. "Men are so straightforward, aren't they?" she chuckled. "Of course we are, nothing would ever happen if we didn't decide on anything and leave it behind. I guess that's what makes us brave and strong. It's the pride we men hold" yuuki fanned her face using her hand.

"That was inspiring, Zero" she looked straight into his purple eyes and saw the spark there was in them.

"Do you like the way I wear my clothes?" yuuki stared at him in disbelief. "Oh… so you're conscious about your fashion sense, huh" zero looked away, listening to what she may say. "Of course I like the way you wear your clothes, it may also be the cause why some of the day class girls look weirdly at you… they even made a fan club for you last last week" zero snapped and looked directly at her.

"They did that?" yuuki nodded. "Pitiful creatures they are, why don't you join them, Yuuki?" Yuuki's mouth opened. "That's incestuous! Have you forgotten that you're my brother?" zero shrugged.

"Of course, I haven't forgotten! I'm just making sure you're nothing thinking otherwise." He teased yuuki. "My turn again, you just asked me something earlier." Yuuki gave him a sign to continue, admitting defeat.

"What country would you like to visit someday?" he asked. "I'd like to go to France someday, you know! To do more shopping!" he smirked at her, he was expecting her to say that it was a romantic place and she would bring him along. "And eating?" he teased. "Yeah! I heard that the famous chefs are there. I'm sick of cafeteria food!" zero chuckled. For once she agreed with his insults.

"How about you? What country would you like to visit?" she asked. "In a country where there aren't any vampires, they piss me off so much I could kill them all here and then" he said bluntly. "Oh… that was rather ideal" she giggled.

"If I were to be married, would you be there? (Of course you're the bride!)" Yuuki smiled warmly again. "I won't miss a thing! I'll be there! There's free food right? You won't charge me?" he hit her arm playfully. "Of course it's free! What were you thinking?" she blushed. "N-nothing… you'll think I'm a pig for asking, right?" zero shook his head. Yuuki smiled at his reaction.

"You can also be cute sometimes, you know that?" zero's eyes shot to hers. "Where did that come from?" yuuki hit his arm in return. "Nothing really... I just thought that you shaking your head look cute! Like a puppy! A silver one to be precise" zero looked away from her. This was the first time she had complimented him and insulted him at the same time.

Yuuki slumped her head on his shoulder and scooted closer to him. Zero pushed her lightly off him. She looked sleepily at him, and then pulled him to her suddenly, leaving him no choice but to be her pillow. He held her closer to him, both of them sitting up with his hand on her head which was buried in the crook of his neck and another hand curled around her waist.

"Would there be a chance for you to love me just as much as I have loved you?" he felt her face him, his hands still encircled on his waist, and the other entangled on her silky brown locks. Her eyes were wide with shock. So she didn't know his feelings for her yet, that wasn't a new issue.

"Ze-zero… what are you t-talking ab-about?" before he could even explain, she slumped back to him with great force that made him bump his head on the wall behind him. She fell asleep while he was on his confession. But he bet she would still know about his confession after she wakes up. She would leave her on the bed and rush to her knight in white when he wakes up. He just knew what would happen. She was a predictable person after all.

Zero placed the pillow she's been hitting him back to its original place and laid her slowly with him, he pulled the covers up for the both of them and turned his back to her. He didn't want her to wake up seeing how blunt he was last night. He was still a gentleman even though he's a vampire hunter. And that's what he's so sure of.
