A.N. Thank you everyone who reviewed, faved, and alerted. Did you know that so far I have 508 hits for this story!!!!! This is a holiday inspired chapter. Anyway, here is the next chapter…
"Man, this is so lame. Why do we even go there?" Zero complained from the back seat.
"You should be grateful that you have a Christmas! What about all of those starving children in Africa!" The headmaster exclaimed.
Yuki completely agreed with the headmaster, but where did the starving children come in? She nodded and added, "Zero, this is a good thing that we're doing."
"Well sorry, I for one don't want to spend my Christmas Break spending time with some withered old prunes, and then have to go to freaky old Sophia's where she will force us to eat her food-" Yuki had had enough of his complaining and turned around in her seat to face him.
"Great-Grandma Sophia is a good woman with a big heart. Yes her cooking isn't always the best, it is cooked with love! And I expect you to be pleasant!"
"… and she will make us watch the Nutcracker again and again! I can't stand that movie! I swear someday either she or I will end up in the crack house, and I personally don't plan on visiting the men in white soon."
"Zero, I love the Nutcracker, and if you don't stop complaining, I will make you wear that sweater she gave you last Christmas, and believe me, I will." She spat venomously at him. He gave a small 'Humph', crossed his arms and settled back into the seat. Kaname, who had been sitting next to Zero, gave a small smirk at him. Yuki had inviting him to come with her, Zero, and the Headmaster to come and stay with Grandma Sophia for the Christmas.
"I love the way that you two get along," the headmaster said smiling referring to Yuki and Zero. "Now, need I remind you that my brother, sister, and their families are coming too?"
"The twins too?" asked Zero from the back.
"Yes, them too," said the headmaster with a cheerful grin. Zero gave a loud grumble.
"How about we play a game?" The headmaster asked.
"Let's don't and say we did," Zero commented.
"How about we listen to a CD instead?" Kaname added.
"I have the perfect one!" The headmaster exclaimed. "I have it right here in the glove compartment," He took it out and slipped out, and put it in the player. The sound of Alvin and The Chipmunks entered the speakers. Zero moaned loudly covering his ears.
"Maybe not that one," Yuki shouted over the music, but the headmaster could not hear her. He was singing very loudly and badly.
"Talk about tone-deft." Kaname whispered to her softly enough so that only she could hear her. .
Zero was driving now. He and the headmaster switched so the headmaster could sleep. The headmaster was now in the passenger seat, and Yuki and Kaname were in the back seat. Since Zero preferred utter silence while he was driving, she had taken out her iPod. It was around one, and she was really starting to get hungry. They hadn't eaten since they visited the old folks home and the food there had been really bad, and the headmaster had eaten all of her granola bars. She had asked Zero to go to the next exit so she could get some food, but he had said they would once they got to Sophia's. But they were still two hours away. She felt that listening to music made time go by faster, but when she looked through her music, she couldn't find anything that interested her. So she clicked the shuffle songs button.
She started to think about Kaname. What would he have done Christmas Break if she hadn't invited him to come with her? Would he have been with family? Did he even have a family?
She listened to 'Maneater' by Nelly Furtado, 'Showstopper' by Danity Kane, 'Irreplaceable' by Beyonce, but then she got to a song she never knew she had. The title said 'Helplessly, Hopelessly' by Jessica Andrews. 'I must have been on that CD Yori gave me.'
I can stand with the weight of the world on my shoulders
I can fight with the toughest of the tough
I can laugh in the face of all my insecurities
Anytime, anywhere, anything... I'm strong enough
Would Kaname ever grow tired of her? Would their love become something more? Was their relationship going too fast? Was it going too slow? Or was it going at the right speed? She suddenly became very sleepy. So sleepy she closed her eyes.
But when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling in love
Kaname fake yawned and stretched his arms. In the process he wrapped his left arm around her, and brought her body closer to his (a.n. classic move). She quietly sighed. He smiled and closed his eyes too.
So let consequence do what it will to us,
I don't care
Let the stars stand as witness to it all
Say the word and tonight I will follow you anywhere
I just can't pretend anymore I'm too sturdy to fall
"Wake up you two. We're here," Zero said from the front seat as they drove down Sophia's driveway. Yuki's eyes slowly opened to see Kaname smiling down at her. She blushed profusely and slowly moved from his embrace.
'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
Baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling in love
I am not afraid, I am not afraid
"Did I fall asleep?" she asked in a small voice.
He nodded. "It's perfectly normal for you to do that at an hour like this."
She looked at her watch. It said 3:30 AM.
"I'm hungry," she said with out thinking.
"Well, let's hope that Sophia has some food in her kitchen." interrupted Zero.
'Cause when you're holding me like this
I'm carelessly lost in your touch
I'm completely defenseless
baby, it's almost too much
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling
I'm helplessly, hopelessly, recklessly falling in love
The four of them walked to the door with suitcases in hand, two wide awake, one still half asleep, and one who was still trying to catch her breath.
I hope everyone liked the next chapter. I know that there wasn't a lot of lovey-dovey stuff, but I had to put some Zero in for all of the Zero lovers in you. I won't be here for awhile, 'cause I'll be gone for the holiday, but while I'm gone I will check reviews.
HAPPY HOLIDAYS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
