A/N: Okay, here's a bit of a chapter fragment (not that all my chapters haven't been fragments but anyway,). I'm not really sure where this'll come in... Actually, that's a lie. I know exactly where this will come in and how I'll get to this point but whether or not I'll actually have time to write all that remains to be seen. So for those of you (all of probably one person) who reads this here's a quick preview. And for those of you who want to know, or care, I'm going with the pairings of Kara/Kaname and Yuuki/Zero... maybe. Everyone else remains as they are in the anime. And yes, I'm working with the anime version on this, not the manga. Thanks for reading and please review!

P.S. Quick warning, this next part is a bit more... romancy then I usually write. If you like that stuff great if not... you were warned. XD

Blackness closed in around me. My legs would no longer support me. My mind went blank and I crumpled to the floor.

Warm. There was something warm against my lips. Without thinking, I opened my mouth. Something warm and salty flooded over my tongue. I knew that taste. Blood.

I swallowed, drinking greedily. A moment after it had passed my tongue I recognized the taste. Pure blood. I knew whose blood that was.

Lips pulled away from mine. "Kaname." I whispered.

The warmth moved to my neck. I felt the point of teeth. Of fangs. Vampire fangs.

No! I thought, my mind panicking. If Kaname drinks my blood- No he can't! He can't have any of my taint in him!

"No!" I said aloud, my hand flying to my neck. I shoved him away, throwing all my considerable power into one push to get him away. Gale force winds flew around us, hitting Kaname square in the chest, sending him flying away from me. I lurched to my feet, covering the two puncture marks, catching the first drop of blood on my finger as it trickled down my skin. Thank goodness none of it had gotten past his lips.

"Kara?" Kaname asked, surprised and winded. My power had thrown him into a wall, knocking the breath out of him, though not much else. My sudden resistance had come as more of a shock then anything.

I staggered, struggling to maintain my balance. In a moment he was by my side, steadying me, not seeming to care that I had just thrown him across the room. "Kara," he said, concern in his voice. "Kara, are you alright?"

"I'm fine." I said, my heart still racing from that mouthful of blood. "I'm fine." His hand was bleeding and there was blood around his mouth. His own blood. I flushed as I realized how Kamane's blood had gotten in my mouth. Never, in nearly two thousand years, had I drunk blood like that.

"I'm glad."

His mouth was getting close to my neck again. I had to keep him from drinking my blood. His pure blood must not be tainted with mine.

But instead of trying to bite me, his lips found mine again. He kissed me, holding me to him as my knees gave out on me again. I can't say that I didn't enjoy it but when he began moving towards my neck again I gathered my strength and pushed him away again, standing on my own.

He let me, so there was no need for me to use my power. In the state I was in I doubted I could use it much anyway. Kaname's blood was incredibly powerful. It was a testament to how badly I was hurt that it was all I could do, even with his blood, to remain standing.

"Kara," He reached for me again but I pulled back and shook my head.

"You can't, Kaname." I managed, feeling my strength come back little by little. Nothing could keep me like this for long and with Kaname's blood I would heal twice as fast.

"I can't what?" he asked, staying where he was, but not without some effort. He wanted to help me. He just didn't understand that I could not allow him help in return.

"You can't drink my blood. I can't let you."

"Why?" he frowned. The Lord Kuran had probably never been denied blood before. Most were begging to have him take their blood, hoping that he would return the favor. Now Kaname had given me some of his coveted blood, he probably didn't understand why I was denying him mine.

"I-" I broke off, unsure- No. No I couldn't tell him. If he knew it would mess up everything. "I can't tell you, Kaname, I'm sorry."

"Don't be."

He was close to me again. Close enough to touch. He ran his hand through my hair. I could feel his breath on my cheek.

"Don't be sorry. I understand."

He was kissing me again. His lips were so soft. His arms were around me. For a moment I resisted, then, under his gentle coaxing, I gave up trying to think about whether or not this was a good idea and simply melted into his arms. I felt his slight smile as I kissed him back, and his attentions became all the more passionate.

I lost myself in his arms. I think I might have blacked out again. The last thing I remember, was the taste of his lips.
