CHAPTER 5

"Inoue, you should stay away from him." Inoue halted as Zero said that to her so calmly.

"What a surprise…why are you here?" She said not bothering to look at him.

"Here, your uniform." Zero made a hissing sound and Inoue secretly smiled to herself. 'Such a stupid sound he made' she thought.

"Who told you that you were free to smile?" Inoue frowned and turn around.

"And who told you that I-" She totally forgot what to say when Zero hugged her. It's thumping. Yes, her heart is dangerously thumping too wildly.

Zero tightened the embrace and Inoue can feel his breath on her cheeks.

"Don't stay too close to him Inoue, Kaname is dangerous,"

"How can you say that? He has been defending me ever since-" Zero straightened then and Inoue felt a sudden coldness for a second.

"I have also been there…I have always been there to defend you before haven't I? I still remember-" Zero cut short as he noticed Inoue's bent head.

"Inoue…" Zero whispered as he saw the human Inoue standing before him.

"Like what you've said…" She looks at him in the eyes, green to silver.

"That was before Zero… when I was a human…I don't think you can defend me, a demon by all means." And in an instant the emerald eyes Zero were very familiar of turned crimson red.

"You have defended the human Inoue before and I have always remembered that. Don't push yourself now and try to defend me. You don't know me Zero and I don't know you, not anymore."

Inoue looked away and sighed.

"Do your part and I will do mine…just stop messing into my business or you shall be terminated."

"You can't stop me if I wanted to." Zero declared stubbornly and stood his ground.

"I am doing my part and I know that part is to defend you!"

Inoue just shook her head.

"You really don't understand what you're saying Zero. You're just feeling all guilty of the thought of your precious Inoue being a demon. You don't really care about the demon me standing here. Face it Zero we're strangers to each other. Inoue is already dead and this demon you are talking to already killed her existence."

With an irritated motion, she vanished into the thin air.

He was left standing there, very irritated.

He don't care about her being a demon and all, that moment he had her in his arms, he didn't want to let go. The moment he saw Kaname touching her like that…that was the worst! Stupid Inoue, she was the same stubborn-.

He sighs.

Damn, but the second time, he'll get that stubborn idiot in his arms; he'll never let her go no matter what she says!

He shouted a curse and walks out.
