A/N: Second chapter that everyone has been awaiting patiently for. I apologize for taking so long to write it I just couldn't decide how many more chapters to add. Anyway I hope you enjoy this chapter as much as the first.

It had been nearly a week since Yuki and Kaname had confessed their love for one another. Yuki hadn't seen nor spoken to Zero in the week since either. It was weighing heavily on Yuki's mind, the bet that she purposely let Kaname "win". She felt bad knowing Zero would have wanted to kiss her too but she didn't want to lead him on either. It wouldn't be right to play with his emotions because she didn't have particular feelings for her guardian partner. Zero's silent treatment towards Yuki didn't help matters either, she couldn't tell what he was feeling. Which didn't concern Kaname in the least he had gotten what he wanted, the love of his life.

'Yuki has been spending a lot of time at the moon dormitory lately. What has the sick pure-blood done?' Zero thought bitterly as he patrolled the darkened halls of Cross Academy, alone. His partner had been absent from guardian duty all week, which was extremely unusual. Normally he was the one that was absent. Yuki's actual absence didn't bother him it was her reason for being absent that bothered him. And that reason was a certain pure-blood vampire that he loathed. Zero growled at the thought of Kaname and Yuki together. His growled echoed off the walls and down the hallway towards the Night Class's classroom, which was deserted of course. Kaname's doing yet again he had given the Night Class the week off so that he could be with Yuki. The thought made Zero even angrier and he punched the wall with his fist. The force of his punch dented the wall, and he sighed as he continued on towards the Moon Dormitory.

"Kaname it's been a week since I last patrolled. I'm going to lose my guardian position if I don't go." Yuki whined. Kaname smirked and sat beside her on his oversized canopy bed, pulling her close with his strong arms. She sighed as he put his lips to her forehead, her eyes, nose, and finally her lips. His soft, but passionate kisses made Yuki shiver and turn the tips of her ears a nice rosy pink.

"You won't lose your role as a guardian of this Academy. Are you that concerned about Zero?" Kaname asked pulling away. Yuki turned away staring down at the floor. She was concerned about Zero but not in the way that Kaname was thinking. She loved Zero, but she loved Kaname more. She sighed and turned back to face Kaname who was sitting still, looking at her with his deep-red eyes. There was hurt but also compassionate in those crimson eyes that gazed at her with such love and devotion.

"Kaname I really should go out and patrol tonight it's still early but I can get in a few hours. I'll come back I promise." she whispered pressing her palm to his cheek softly. He nodded then pulled away and stood up. He glided over to the window where she left him to go patrol.

"Yuki...It can only be you?" he whispered, watching her run across the courtyard below and disappear. Slowly Kaname made his way back to bed where he would sit until Yuki's return. Not moving, not thinking of anything but his lover. 'Lover' the word seemed almost near impossible a week ago but now it just seemed so appropriate. He lay back on the bed and closed his eyes, taking a quick nap before Yuki returned.

The air felt light. Crisp and cool the way it always started to feel when Autumn began. It was always easy to guess when the seasons changed especially when you attended Cross Academy, students got used to knowing when they went home or not. Yuki perched herself up on the ledge on the wall overlooking the courtyard the same way she had done it a week before. The night she was attacked by an unwelcome suspect. She still didn't know who it was or how Kaname saved her. But he had and she was forever grateful. Her cheeks flushed, and she pressed her cold palms to her cheeks.

"Thinking about your hero again?" Yuki turned around, "Zero?" He nodded, and came to stand beside her, leaning up against the wall like he always did. Yuki didn't know what to say the last time she'd seen Zero was when she told him about herself and Kaname.

"Zero... I-"

"You don't need to explain yourself. I always knew this would happen I just didn't know when." He said facing her. His expression was blank but his eyes showed how hurt he was. How she had hurt him and not given it any thought.

"I'm sorry." She whispered. Tears swelled in her eyes and rolled down her cheeks like little streams. Taking her face in his hands Zero brushed away the tears with his thumb and their lips met. A gentle press of Zero's lips and Yuki knew she was forgiven. But what did this mean for the two Guardians? It was Zero who pulled away first, leaving Yuki to sit on the ledge. "I know you love us both, but you love him more. I want you to be happy Yuki so don't worry about me I'll stay far away from you." He said as he walked away. Yuki's heart skipped a beat and she jumped off the wall and grabbed Zero from behind. She hugged him tightly and sobbed, "Don't go Zero! I don't want you to leave me!" She sobbed. Zero turned and embraced her tightly to his chest, soothing her with reassuring words, and rubbing her head lightly.

"I won't leave you if you don't want me to Yuki." He said kissing her hair.

"I love you." Zero looked at her shocked.

"What did you just say?" He asked, his voice almost cracking trying to get the words out.

"I love you Zero Kiryu! I always have and I always will!" Yuki said smiling faintly. Zero smiled down at her, trying to keep his emotions it tact when he said, "What about Kaname?" She looked away, her expression had changed. She looked serious, determined, and full of guilt.

"He'll forgive me." She replied before pulling his face to her's.

"Yuki, is this really how it ends?" Kaname whispered. He was standing by the window of the Night Class Classroom, looking outside. He had seen the whole thing, the kiss, Yuki running after Zero. All of it he had seen. " However Yuki this is one thing I can't forgive." He growled before causing the glass in the window to shatter as he watched the two Guardians walk off to patrol.
