* I do not own Vampire Knight. If I did, we ALL know what couple would win *

* Yuuki *

Imagining and remembering the artist of my life, the most painful thing I do. Aching for him to come, and spread color on the monochromatic picture, to breathe life into me again. I would tear my heart out for him, even if to hold him for a moment. To not just imagine and remember my one true reason for existance, but to live and experiance. Live and experiance what is happening, not what could have happened. To wash away everything from my life but him. The tears I thought dried a long time ago, never really stop. The hollow feeling at my chest, doesn't subside. Instead it fills my entire being with empty feelings, Binds me to the cold cruel reality where I reside. Even the fleeting dreams in life, are tinged with misery. How I long to strip my chains, and fly with my angel, my artist and revert to the way things were before, when my artist was by my side, and my canvas was beautiful...

I felt...warmth, in my cold mind. Life withing my dead body. The threat of bloodlust was not present anymore. I looked around, and saw pure white snow. But I watched, as the snow ran red. I followed the path of vermillion, to a gash in my heart. It was healing, but it was tainting purity. I was a disgusting monster, destroying the simple beauty of the white snow. I felt a presence, and my heart violently shuddered, when the object of my fantasies and imaginings, was completly tangible, and standing in front of me.

" Zero..." I couldn't speak to him. I looked down, ashamed of myself. He loathed me, I knew it. But I needed to apologize to him. I looked up, and met with his eyes...His eyes! They looked so lonely, I could see how empty he was. I tear washed over my pallid face, and ran into the snow. I sank down, and cried out

" Zero...I'm sorry I left you! I...I know I'm not worthy to be in your presence...I know you will kill me...but..." I couldn't keep my composure. My emotions suddenly flared, after seeing the hurt in his eyes. I was a foul wretched monster. Hurting Zero was the single worst thing I could've ever done. Tears were running down my cheeks. Then, I felt warmth encompass me. The familliar scent of him wafted upwards. He nuzzled my neck with his head. His arms were strong, yet held me gently.

" Yuuki...I've missed you...I can't be without you anymore...I just can't" He said, and then, he kissed me without restraint. I fell into his demand, overjoyed. My salty tears ran again, only they were no longer tears of sadness. I felt warmth, and love. I kissed him back, showing him my emotions...
