Summary: There was a place at Cross Academy where people could go for relaxation. One night Yuki goes down there, but she isn't alone. YxK NO FLAMES
A.N. Thank you everyone who reviewed, faved, and alerted. Big thanks to sesshoumarusmoonbeam for putting this story on to "Bloody Temptations". Here is the next chapter…
"Solitary and friendless, they walk the night in an eternal search of fresh blood. They while away the daylight hours asleep in musty crypts and mountaintop castles. They never age, and they don't fear death, for they are already dead. And if you should see on in the street, you might have no idea that you're staring a monster in the face…
Different legends prove varying account of the vampire's personality. Some stories depict the creature as a mindless, soulless killer. Bram Stoker's Count Dracula, however, was intelligent and charming, with impeccable manners and good breeding. Other tales imagine vampire as essentially decent beings, eternally tortured by the terrible things they must do in order to survive. This versatility is probably on reason that the vampire continues to inspire new legends to this day." (1)
Yuki dropped her pencil. She had finally finished writing her report and she thought that she had gotten all that she could out of her notes, but some things she just already knew. She knew that vampires were nocturnal, that they had a blood lust, that they hated the daylight, that they didn't age and that you couldn't tell if they were what the were (look at Zero, she had gone four years without knowing his secret). She was suspicious about sleeping in coffins; Zero didn't sleep in one, but did the rest of the Night Class?
I know there's something in the wake of your smile.
I get a notion from the look in your eyes, yea.
You've built a love but that love falls apart.
Your little piece of heaven turns too dark.
She stood up and stretched her tired limbs. It was really late, and she was tired. She should have been on patrol with Zero, but because this really big report, she and Zero had been taking turns on patrol every night so they could both do research and write their creature reports. Everyone drew a creature from a hat and what ever one they got, they did the report on. Yori had gotten ghosts, Zero had gotten the veela (2), and she had gotten vampires. Yuki had already read Bram Stoker's Dracula and Anne Rice's Vampire Chronicles, but she still needed more.
Yuki picked up all of the books she borrowed and walked to the shelves to put them all away. She put a couple back in their places, and then when she turned around she jumped. Kaname was standing in front of her.
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.
"Hi." She said trying to regain her wits.
"Hello." He said, still smiling.
"What are you doing here?" She asked not thinking.
"Well, to read. Isn't that what you do at a library?" He joked.
"Oh, yeah," She said blushing. This is so embarrassing… she thought.
"What are you doing here?" He inquired.
"A report."
"On what?"
"Nothing." She didn't want to tell him, it was embarrassing enough what with that night at the lake. But now he was talking to her like their kiss had never happened.
"Tell Me." He said breaking her train of thought.
"Vampires." Better get it over with now.
"Can I see it?" He asked intuitively.
"Sure, just follow me." She led him to her table and handed him her notes and began reading the book she had brought with her.
She occasionally looked at him, and his cheerful expression never changed. What's he thinking? She thought.
Sometimes you wonder if this fight is worthwhile.
The precious moments are all lost in the tide, yea.
They're swept away and nothing is what is seems,
the feeling of belonging to your dreams.
"Well your notes are good. My only comment is why did you waste all of your time reading though all of those books when you have the biggest vampire reference book at your disposal?"
"I do?" She asked trying to scan her mind of all the books she had ever read about vampires.
"Yes, but it's not a book, it's a person." He said hinting.
"Zero?" he shook his head.
"The headmaster?"
"No."
"Aido?" She asked laughing, he laughed.
"No, my dear girl. Me." She stopped laughing and began to bang her head against the table.
"Why didn't I think of that?!" He shrugged his shoulders.
"You also have a couple spelling errors," He added, just for good measure. She grabbed a dictionary from the shelf and started looking.
He kept looking at her while she worked. She occasionally looked up at him, blushing in the process. She started to squirm in her seat. She looked in his dark eyes (3).
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.
"Why do you keep doing that?"
"Doing what?" He asked surprised.
"Looking at me."
"It's hard."
"What?"
"It's hard to not look at you." This was getting weird. She got up to put up her dictionary. He followed her to the biography section.
"Kaname, please-" Yuki said trying no to look at him.
"Listen, I know that we can't talk about this now. Meet me in an hour by the lake." His gaze was so piercing, she couldn't say no. She nodded.
Kaname stood by the lake looking at himself (4). He saw Yuki's reflection come towards him. He turned to face her.
"I thought you weren't going to come." He kissed her gently.
And there are voices that want to be heard.
So much to mention but you can't find the words.
The scent of magic,
The beauty that's been when love was wilder than the wind.
"Please don't." she said
"From the moment that I saw you, all those years ago, a moment hasn't gone by when I wasn't thinking about you. When you're not near me, I'm in agony. The farther I get, the more it hurts. The thought of not having you in my life makes my stomach turn over. I can't breathe. I'm haunted by that kiss that we shared. My heart won't stop beating, I'm afraid that your kiss will become a scar. You are in my soul, tormenting me." He said not breaking the gaze between them. She just stared at him, and them looked away, blushing scarlet.
"If you are suffering as much as I am, please tell me." She looked at him, biting her lip.
"…Do you do feel something?"
"Kaname, I don't know! It's just not possible." She said trying to keep control over herself.
"Anything is possible. Just listen…"
"No, you listen. We live in the real world. You're a Vampire and… I'm a human. If we continue, our thoughts will lead us to a place that we cannot go… no matter how we feel.
"So you do feel something!" She looked away.
"Yes. I love you. My love is like a puzzle, and I don't have an answers. I can't control it… and I don't want to." (5) Her bold statement surprised him a little, but he quickly responded by kissing her furiously.
"I love you too." He said when they broke apart, but he then kissed her again with either equal or a larger force. She kissed him back with the same amount of force.
Listen to your heart when he's calling for you.
Listen to your heart there's nothing else you can do.
I don't know where you're going and I don't know why,
but listen to your heart before you tell him goodbye.
1. exert from The Sorcerer's Compainon: A Guide to the Magical World of Harry Potter, by Allan Zola Kronzek and Elizabeth Kronzek, pages 246 and page 248
2. Veela: Female spirits of Eastern European Folklore, they are shape-shifting creatures in forests, lake, mountains, and clouds. They are often seen as beautiful young girls with long hair in misty dresses and dance under the midsummer moon. Can cause any age men to fall in love with them. The men can have fatigue, and forget to eat or drink.
3. I don't know what color Kaname's eyes are so I went the easy way out.
4. In this, Vampires do have reflections and do appear in photos.
5. From "Star Wars: Attack of the Clones", I just reworded it so it would fit my story.
Hope everyone liked the Second Chapter!!!
Review!!
