Behind These Hazel Eyes- Kelly Clarkson

Zero stood on the roof of the academy, looking up at the full moon and remembering. Yuki had been gone for months, and he had done his best to carry on as if nothing had happened. The world seemed to be dead set against the idea. Everywhere he looked he could see her- laughing by the fountain, pushing back crowds of girls at the entrance to the now-empty moon dorm, but mostly by his side, a small but reassuring presence in his life that had been torn away. Zero gritted his jaw, reprimanding himself as he wiped the back of his hand across his eyes. She was a vampire now, and not worthy of his memories, and even less so of his tears.

Next 2 You- Chris Brown ft. Justin Bieber

Yuki… Zero found himself smiling as she tried to keep the crowd of day class students away from the night class dorms. She was doing a pretty bad job of it. He moved to help her, smile morphing into a much more characteristic scowl. "Move it!"

Later, they were studying together in the Headmaster's house, and Zero found himself struck speechless by something that Yuki had said. "Do you think we'll ever not be friends?"

He thought back over how she'd always been there, and resolved that that would never change except that he would always be strong for her. "No. Nothing will ever be able to come between us, Yuki."

"Really?" Her eyes were round, full of hope and several other emotions he couldn't place.

"I promise."

She smiled, the smile of an angel. "Thank you, Zero."

Frozen- Within Temptation

Cold… Numb… that was what Zero felt as the bloodlust overtook him. Cold, but also burning. He was consumed by the feeling of fire and ice as he sank down to the floor, hand moving to cover the place where that woman had pierced him with her fangs, dooming him to this cursed existence. Lily whickered softly, and he barely managed to see her past the dizzying spirals of pain. He had to keep fighting it, though. He couldn't let this stop him from fulfilling his mission. And, most of all, he couldn't let Yuki find out. He couldn't bear it if she knew he was a monster. Let them think he was cold-hearted. They didn't need to know that he no longer had a soul. "Zero?" He winced at the sound of Yuki's voice, pulling himself to his feet, emotions still numb. "Come on, Zero. We need to get to work."

Dynamite- Taio Cruz

Why had he let Yuki drag him along to this place? Zero hated loud music, and whatever garbage they were blasting from the speakers barely counted as such. But then again… He set his drink down as he turned to watch Yuki dance. While two years younger than himself, Yuki had somehow wormed her way into Zero's heart, taking residence there as a best friend and maybe a little more. He hadn't realized he'd been staring until Yuki came over and took his hand. "Come on, Zero. You should be dancing!"

Wolf's Rain Ending Theme

Zero and Yuki exchange looks, each sizing up the other. It had been almost two centuries since they'd last met, and neither one had changed much. She was still short, with big brown eyes and long hair, and he still had a permanent scowl. Maybe this time one of them would die, but Zero doubted it.

Tomorrow- SR-71

Yuki gazed out the window at the moon. Hiyori was sleeping soundly in the bed next to her, but she herself couldn't find enough peace of mind to drift off. How could she, with an army waiting just outside the walls? Everything was crashing down around her, Yuki realized as she pulled her legs up to her chest, arms closing around her knees.

It was all spiraling out of control so quickly, and there was so little that she actually knew that sometimes the entire affair seemed like a dream, or maybe that she was just seeing what was happening to someone else. It was all so very unreal, but then again, so were vampires. Her hand traced the bandage around her neck. That was one reminder that vampires were real. "Zero…" She hadn't seen him much lately, and with her visions of blood and death, she was becoming increasingly more terrified for both him and Kaname. But she wasn't afraid of them. No, she afraid of what secrets lay hidden in her mind.

Life is a Highway- Rascal Flatts

"Yuki…"

"Yes Zero?" The petite junior looked up from her calculus homework, wishing, not for the first time, that she was as talented with numbers as her older friend.

Zero stared at her for a moment, taking in the newly styled hair, the way that Yuki was twirling a curl around her finger and how she was chewing on the end of her pencil as she tried to decipher the foreign symbols on the textbook page. She was looking at him expectantly, and the rest of the college campus seemed to go in slow motion as he voiced his question. "Will you go out with me? I know you like Kaname, but…" A suddenly huge gap seemed to force itself between the two of them as Yuki blinked, processing the question.

After a seemingly interminable amount of time passed, she spoke only one word. "Yes." And she turned back to her math, a smiled on her lips. Zero stared at her, a matching expression soon spreading across his face as well, and he leaned over to drop a spur of the moment kiss on her cheek, grinning as her face flushed.

Drift Away- Dobie Gray

Yuki couldn't understand any of it- not that she was a vampire, not that Zero hated her now, and not that everything she had thought she knew was a lie. As soft music came from the record player in the corner of the ballroom, she suddenly wished that it wasn't Aidou who was leading her through the steps of the waltz, but Zero, and to a much less formal melody. She wanted to be a human girl again, chasing crowds away from the night class dorm and staying up too late to fall asleep in class the next day. But that was impossible, so she kept her thoughts to herself, shaking her head when Hanabusa asked if something was wrong, and trying to lose herself in the rhythm of the dance.

Hold- Superchick

God, but Zero hated that sound. Yuki was crying, and it jerked on every one of Zero's heartstrings so that he though they were going to break. "I don't know anymore, Zero." she confided through her tears. "I don't know who I am or what to believe."

His grip on her hand tightened. He had managed to look past her being a vampire, and he could help her through this. "Believe in me, Yuki." he said eventually. "Believe that I will always watch out for you, because you are so much more to me than just a friend." Yuki looked up at him, tearstained face showing a hopeful and much more calm expression. "I love you."
