Chapter Eight :

My back pressed against the wood of the bedroom door, my heart thumping uncomfortably against my ribs. He was on the other side, trying to get me to come out, but I never got up the nerve to speak back to him. The tears that were streaming down my cheeks came silently, although my chest heaved up and down as if sobbing. I had to take some deep breaths, sitting here and crying would not help the situation one bit. I wanted to go out of the bedroom and run into Kaname's arms ... but how could I when I swore to myself not to forgive him?

He took my life away ... took me away from what could have been. Why did he take me? For what purpose did he really intend on me? He knew all this time ... And let my bestfriend get murdered by someone in his own circle. He was talking again although it was muffled the tiniest. I loved this man ... and I was letting this get in the way of that. But should I forgive him? Should I hug him and tell him that everything would be alright, and that we could get past all this?

There were so many questions to ask ... so many things to do. I thumped the back of my head against the door repeatedly, until a small pain started growing, indicating I had given myself a migraine. I sighed, letting my face fall into my hands now, not being able to control the sobs that built up inside my throat. I didn't know what to do ... what could I do? I was so confused, and all I could think about were those wine eyes that had dug their way deep into my soul.

Thump, thump. I heard the clicking of shoes across the room from me. My head swung upwards, focusing on the tall figure before me. He bent down and caressed my wet cheek.

"Kaname?" I said, although it came out more as a question.

"Yes?" He looked into my eyes, the sensation sending a wave of goosebumps over my skin.

"How did you get in here?" I started standing up, clinging to his arm for support.

"Window." He replied with a half smile.

I then noticed the chilly breeze coming from one of the windows - the one he had come through. I looked up at him, wiping my tears away, noticing pieces of white stuck in his matted hair.

I reached up and wiped one away - it melting in my hand. "Snow?" I questioned. "Is it snowing?"

He nodded, following me slowly as I ran over to the window, pushing the curtains away and sticking my head out of it. Sure enough, little flurries of snow came falling from the sky, sticking in my hair and eyelashes. I reached out a hand and caught a few, although they quickly evaporated into water.

I felt a hand rest on the small of my back, making me jump slightly. His touch was so familiar and comforting. I gave in at that moment. I don't care whether he took my life away from me or not. I loved him. I couldn't let anything get in the way of that.

Spinning around, I leaned back in from the window, crushing myself against his body. I breathed in deeply, taking in that familiar scent of roses and musk. My mouth practically watered.

"So what does this reaction mean?" He asked, his arms curving around my body.

"I think it means I forgive you," I sighed into his chest.

"You think?" He chuckled softly, one of his hands petting wet out of my hair.

"Don't question my logic," I said sarcastically, standing on my tiptoes so I could press my lips against his jugular vein.

He laughed for real now, picking me up by the hips and holding me against him, my legs wrapping around his waist.

I stared into his eyes for a long time, both of our expressions rather serious. I kissed his nose, letting my forehead rest against his.

"You know what, Sasaya?" He sighed, gripping onto me tighter.

I swallowed when he said my real name ... it sounded so foreign compared to my human name. "Hm?"

He pressed his lips to mine softly, so I could barely feel them. "I love you,"

I swear at that exact moment all of my bones snapped in half and melted into a pile of putty. My throat felt dry and my eyes filled with tears. "I love you, too."

I kissed him ... like I've never kissed him before. My mouth attacking his furiously. Instead of his tongue seeking entrance, it was mine. I nipped at his bottom lip, making his mouth open in a small gasp. I took the opportunity and ran my tongue over his own, tasting him for the first time. He was sweet with a hint of something I couldn't put my finger on, but I liked it; I moaned hesitantly into him, the sound vibrating between our body's for a moment.

He groaned, tugging on my hair so he could catch his breath. I smiled victoriously into his cheek, pecking it once before swinging my legs down. He set me back on the floor gently, watching me with curious eyes.

"What?" I asked, feeling rather self conscious.

"Nothing," He chuckled, looking away from me for a moment.

I bit my bottom lip and looked away also. That's when we both realized that snow was piling up on the ground outside the window.

"Shit!" I cursed, running over to the window and slamming it shut, almost slipping on the wet.

He laughed, coming over to me and helping me keep balance as I stepped outside the puddle.

"Thanks," I laughed, too.

He bent over and kissed me on the lips once, before tugging on my hand and taking me into the living-room.

He sat me on the couch, wrapping the Afghanistan around my shoulders. "Stay here, I'm going to go shower."

I blushed, trying to imagine him wet and naked in the shower, although my face just got hotter at the thought.

He pecked my forehead gently before sauntering off to the shower.

I buried my face into a pillow and closed my eyes, trying to get the erotic images out of my mind.

I heard the water start in the other room, and I let my mind drift off until I fell asleep - one of the first times on my own.
