I don't own this series, If I did I would be rich
AN: Thank you to my two faithful readers Nightfall2525 and Ellavv31 (you guys are awesome!) Ellavv31 did ask for more YxK moments. Which I finally put in. But do not fear non-reviewing readers the pairing is still up in the air! (laughs evilly) Anyway I'll be updating every three or so days now since school has started so don't kill me. PLEASE REVIEW!
Does anyone know Headmaster Cross's first name?! God I am so tired of referring to him with the 'headmaster' before everything...

Bursting into the Headmasters office she balked at the sight of Kaname Kuran talking very seriously with her adopted father. The Headmaster's lips were set into a tight line and Kaname's voice was softer then usual.
"Headmaster, President Kuran" she bowed
"Yuki could you wait in my chambers? Zero is already there waiting for you."
"Yes Sir" she bowed again and left… Something was very wrong she had never seen her father like that before….

Kaname turned back to Headmaster Cross "I still want to know why you refuse to tell me about Nicodemus Winter?"
"He is here under special circumstances, circumstances which I am not allowed to divulge even to you Kaname."
Kaname felt irritation bloom in his chest, he was used to getting his way "Even if it will jeopardize the experiment with the blood tablets?"
"Nicodemus had agreed to keep away from that aspect, he wants unification between humans and vampires as much as you do."
Headmaster Cross sat back in his chair and let out a sigh "I am sorry for leaving you in the dark like this, you know it is not my intention to anger you in any way. But I was sworn to secrecy in all this. That is why he is here, and that is why he has had his way."
"And what of Yuki?" Kaname began softly
The Headmaster smiled "Are you getting jealous?"
Kaname folded his arms across his chest and was silent
Headmaster Cross chuckled softly "Oh Kaname I am sorry she is a very impressionable girl and still so young. You know that you have all of her heart, there is no room for anyone else not even Zero Kiryuu."
Kaname felt his cheeks flushing a little, hearing something like this from Headmaster Cross was… A little shocking, was he really that transparent?
He supposed that he really was getting a little too attached to Yuki Cross…

"Zero?" Yuki called into the darkened living room of the Headmasters Suite, the curtains had been thrown open and the darkening sky revealed a sliver of the waning moon, soon the sky would be dark again…
She stepped in finding that her father's room smelt strange like the faintest whiff of blood and fear….
"Zero!" she cried panicking
There was the softest click of the safety being removed from a gun and she went running for the corner.
"Don't Zero! Don't!" she screamed grabbing the barrel away from Zero's neck. He fought her through his tears, and she wept the icy barrel making her fingers numb.
"Please don't" she repeated over and over till the gun fell from his hand and into her own.
"Yuki I've hurt you so much, why… Why are you still around me?" Zero asked through his tears. Yuki had never seen him cry before and she was stunned when she opened her eyes.
"Because you and I are one person, one being who is here to protect the people of this school. I cannot forsake you Zero…" she threw the gun to one side and wrapped her arms around his warm chest. Listening to the heartbeat that pounded fiercely, her tears staining the white of his uniform shirt.
"Yuki I cannot keep drinking from you, someday I fear that I would…." Zero trailed off his voice thick with emotion
She felt hot tears drop onto her neck the neck that was scarred by his feedings.
"I shall find someway to fix this." She whispered though she knew her promise was empty.
"Not even you can fix something like this, I am a hideous monster that deserves nothing but Death. And I want you to end it now, here Yuki."
"No!" she cried hugging him tighter.
"You promised me!" he cried again, chest heaving.
Yuki felt her tears flow faster "I can't kill you Zero, you know that!"
He wrapped his arms around her body, and cried into her shoulder and Yuki didn't know how long the both of them stayed like that until she heard soft footfall on the thick carpet.
"Yuki, dearest?" the ethereal and wispy voice of Kaname Kuran entered her world of sorrow. She felt the warmth of Zero's strong arms slip quietly away as the familiar smell of her adopted father swept him away, leaving Kaname and her alone in this darkened suite.
Kaname gently kneeled down beside her and enveloped her in a soft warm hug. Yuki gratefully sunk into his chest feeling a sigh escape her lips.
There was silence for a long time and then Kaname spoke "I am sorry for causing you so much pain."
Yuki felt herself smiling "I only worry because I care for you." She replied
The hug tightened slightly "My dear girl you have fallen too deeply in love with me…. You know that it is forbidden…"
Yuki felt her body become still "What will happen to Zero?" she asked the tears staining his flawless white uniform.
"As I told you he will Fall to Level E and you will have to end his life." Kaname supplied in a matter of fact way. She looked up at him
"You know I can' t do that"
Kaname's lips curled into one of his exquisitely wistful smiles. "When the time comes, you will find the strength to do so. There is no other option."
She rested her head back in his chest feeling an ice spreading through her limbs, she would never… hurt Zero…he was…
"Then how did you get so ill?" Yuki swore that Kaname's heart skipped a beat.
"Someone is trying to harm me Yuki. Tsuki-kun purged a curse from my body, that is why I am better."
"Nani?!" she cried pulling away from him staring wildly into his eyes.
"Although I cannot confirm or deny Tsuki's involvement in this ploy to end my life…. I know one thing, that he is very fond of you and does much to impress you."
Yuki felt her stomach flop as Kaname continued, "The Headmaster will tell me nothing about him or what he really is. Because as he made clear to only you, he is no vampire but something far beyond that."
Kaname stood and pulled her up, all the while frowning. Yuki had never seen him frown before…
"Are you fond of him Yuki?" he asked caressing her cheek with his long fingertips.
"N-no he is a little strange… But I still consider him a friend." She answered honestly even as her face began to grow warm.
His hand whispered into her hair, down her cheekbone and finally a delicate thumb brushed her lips. Kaname now smiled a little
"You are very beautiful Yuki I wish you would see that." He muttered, Yuki grew flustered wringing her hands.
"Kaname the Headmaster is waiting for me…There are many things I must ask him…" she stammered
And very slowly Kaname kissed her, carefully as if she were a plume of fire. So delicate and soft were his lips just like in her dreams. His lips lingered only for a moment, like the barest brush of a bird's wing.
"Kaname…I thought…" he pressed a finger to her lips, and kissed her again. Still soft but with a strange force beneath, was this passion? Yuki thought vaguely through the fog she was slipping in.
His lips strayed to her neck where he sensed her rapidly beating pulse and smiled… Kaname slowly covered her open skin with kisses. Teasing out her soft whimpers like a song.
Already limp Yuki didn't know where she was nor did she care all she could feel was him… His warm breath against her flesh, the sound of his breathing, which hadn't changed at all… Her body was on fire. It was singing….
How Kaname wanted to unbutton the rest of that teasing little blouse…
"Yuki" he whispered, lips brushing her ear.
"The Headmaster is going to be suspicious" he added hoping that would cut through her fog.
Yuki clung to his shirt, her small hands had already unbuttoned his severe collar. Kaname could fell the burning heat of her body against his even through the thickness of his expensive uniform… Maybe he had pushed her a little too far.
Footsteps sounded down the hallway "Yuki? Where are you?" came the worried voice of Headmaster Cross.
Yuki Cross flew from President Kuran's arms like he was a volatile gas; she nearly fell backwards in her attempt to separate as much space from Kaname as possible.
And just in time, because her adopted father walked through the door in a huff.
"Have you been talking all this…." Headmaster Cross trailed off, there was something.. Wrong here…
Kaname's usual impeccable uniform was unbuttoned while his daughter was white like a sheet and breathing like she had run a marathon.
"Did something happen Kaname?" Headmaster Cross turned to the pureblood vampire who was politely fixing his collar.
"Nothing Sir, Yuki and I were talking. She is quite out of breath from all the crying though."
Kaname cast his intense gaze upon Yuki who almost melted "Yes Headmaster" she replied. That seemed to quell the Headmaster's suspicions...
"Goodnight President Kuran" she bowed and then left with her step father out of the suite. Her head was still spinning, she had gotten her wish… Kaname had given her, her first kiss…

Headmaster Cross gazed at his daughter out of the corner of his eye, he was not stupid, his suite had been thick with desire... He hoped that this sense was wrong because that would mean dangerous things for the pureblood President and the co-guardian of his academy...
He wondered if someday he would have to punish Yuki, just as he had done with so many other disobedient students...
