Secrets of Cross Academy Chapter 5

A/N: Like I promised, new chapter before the end of the week and this one as a small citrus touch to it! ;) Without further adou! Chapter 5! Enjoy and please leave some reviews my loves!

"Zero don't!" Yuuki cried, jolting up in her bed, memories of what had happened earlier that night rushing through her head in the midst of her sleep forcing her to wake up… Wait. This wasn't her bed. Her fingers instantly recognized the difference in fabric, the difference in size and there was weight, weight to her left side by the wall. What happened? Zero had attacked her and…"I'm so dizzy…" whimpering to herself, she slid one hand behind her to brace herself on the foreign bed, her other hand clutching her head.

"You're finally awake Yuuki" a sultry voice called just off to her side, and that's when she remembered. That same voice came when Zero attacked her, that same voice told her to remain calm and not to panic while he closed her wounds.

"K-Kaname where am I?" she asked breathlessly, her heart still racing from the fear that her memory evoked in her. Who wouldn't be terrified, someone like her brother had just raped her with his fangs, forcibly piercing into her neck, taking her blood without permission. Someone so close to her did something so… awful.

"You're in my room" he murmured, shifting his position to sit up against the wall, looking at the still shaken girl he tried so hard to protect.

"Your room?" she exclaimed, glancing around the dark space, it was hard to see but she could tell that this place was much bigger than her own dorm, and that the atmosphere was not of her own. "B-But… What about Zero… What did the chairman say? Won't he be upset finding out I'm in here?" numerous questions slipped off her tongue before she felt the male beside her shift again, bringing his body closer to her.

"Yuuki, relax." He purred, having leaned in towards her ear, his cool sweet breath fanning over the span of her jaw and cheek. One of his hands lifted to softly remove hers from her face, lacing their fingers together. Kaname brushed his lips down the length of her jaw before lightly kissing the corner of her pink lips. "Zero was put in quarantine for attacking a student, that was based off of my recommendation, and the Vampire Hunters Association. Your father already knows of your whereabouts, he agreed that being by me after having your blood spilled is the safest way to protect you. No vampire of my class will come here to harm you, especially with me at your side. I've sworn to keep you safe for the rest of the night and tomorrow."

"T-Tomorrow?" she stammered, her pulse still racing slightly harder than appropriate from his gentle, fleeting kiss down the side of her face, eventually landing on the side of her slightly parted lips. "But what about class?"

"You won't go to class tomorrow" he stated simply, his tone declaring that there was no room for argument and that the decision was final.

"What about the patrol? I-I have to do that!" she shook her head and forced herself to wobbly place her feet on the ground of his dorm.

"Yuuki" he warned, his voice low and commanding. Instantly, the girl froze in her attempts to stand up, slowly easing herself back onto the edge of the bed. Reaching up, Yuuki brushed the heel of her palm against her throbbing forehead before rubbing at her eyes.

It was only then that she noticed the water that had started to weld up behind her lids. "K-Kaname… Zero attacked me. How… Why… I-I don't know what to do" she mumbled, shaking her whirling head as tears slipped past her hand, dragging down her cheek. She couldn't believe Zero, the one who loathed vampires with a fervent passion was now a creature of the night. Her friend… He betrayed her.
Before more thoughts could disturb her mind, she felt two strong arms wrap around her from behind. Instantly she flinched, lurching forward to try and get out of the hold but the attempt was futile, Kaname holding onto Yuuki as if his life depended on it.

"Yuuki…" he said softly, a tinge of sadness tainting his tone at her reaction to his attempted comforts.
"I'm sorry Kaname I just… I'm so confused" she sobbed, covering her tear stricken face with her hands before turning in his arms to hide her face against the crook of his neck, the desperate tears continuing to drip down and stain the collar of his maroon button down shirt.

"I know you are, and I knew you would be that's why I stayed by your side until you woke up." He murmured against the top of her cheek. He knew there were times when he could tease her and taunt her with his more… sensual affections. He also knew when there were times where the best thing he could do for her was be still and comfort. This was definitely one of those times, as much as he wanted to take advantage of the rare occasion of her being in his room. In his bed. His princess was safely tucked away behind his bedchamber and he couldn't even act upon the fact that they were alone and wouldn't be disturbed for some time; At least not without her permission.

"You didn't have to do that." She breathed, rubbing at her eyes once more only to have him reach out and softly press her hands down into her lap. His long, elegant fingers cupped her cheek and tilted her head back so he could gaze at her flushed features.

"Kaname…" his name didn't come out as a question, but more as a means to gain his attention; little did she know she already had his full concentration.

"Yuuki, I hate to see you cry." He stated tenderly while trailing his fingertips across the sticky line of tears that had cascaded down her face. Wiping them away he reached up once more to softly trace his thumb across her eyes, making them flutter closed.

Sucking in slow, shallow breathes she felt the strange desire to move closer to the man that saved her life on more than one occasion now. Why was he always there when she needed help? Not that she was one to complain but, without him there would be no Yuuki Cross. For the past few days he had been teasing, and taunting her in the most provocative of manners, but now, holding her he was just as gentle as she always remembered to be. Now, in this moment she wasn't confused as to what he wanted from her, or why he chose to be so "involved" in her life. Yes, she was still shaken to the core about what Zero had done, but Kaname wasn't Zero. Kaname saved her from Zero, comforted her from her fear and rampant thoughts as to what was going on. She wanted to repay him somehow.

Cautiously, the small girl shifted in his arms and brought her hands up to rest on the sides of his perfectly sculpted face, letting her thumb trace over his lower lip while she brought her eyes to a half lidded gaze.

"Thank you for saving me today Kaname, Zero… Zero wouldn't have stopped unless you showed up." She whispered, tilting her head back slightly as she leaned in, bringing their lips together in a simple kiss. Just as any other time they ended up in a lip lock over the past few days, her heart fluttered, her stomach tying into knots of embarrassment and curiosity. Before Kaname there was no one else, so it wasn't as though she knew exactly what she was doing or how to please him by any means, but so far he had been alright with her small attempts to show affection. Arching her back she leaned in closer to the vampire, deepening the pressure between his pouty mouth and hers. Yuuki almost flinched when she felt his arms encircle her body, shifting them so he could lay her back on the bed. Hovering over her petit figure, he slipped his tongue between their lips, gently teasing at her lower lip in hopes to deepen the kiss that she had so bravely started.

Much to his surprise, she didn't stop him, but rather parted her precious mouth to allow his slick muscle entrance. His tongue softly moved itself against her own, guiding hers in an ancient dance while the pads of his fingers traced up her clothed torso, dragging up the valley between her breasts before finally resting, cupping her cheek. Was this real? Was he really allowed to be so sensual with his princess that he'd longed for, for years on end? The smooth feel of her pink, slick appendage moving, and massaging against his was proof. The sound of her fluttering heart beat with every touch was proof. And her body… The way she arched and writhed into his hands was proof. Shifting the hand on her delicate cheek, he leaned forward and pressed his forearm against the mattress beside her face, holding the weight of his body off of the fragile human beneath him.

After what felt like hours, he pulled his lips from hers, Yuuki's eyes opening to a half lid, hazed and clouded in the smoke of arousal. He held her auburn gaze, licking his lips while his free hand slowly started to drag up, his palm pressing warmly on her fluttering heart. Kaname leaned forward, brushing his nose against the lobe of her ear, tracing his tongue against the soft flesh "Yuuki, I want to feel more of you…" he panted, his sweet, warm breath fanning across her flesh, leaving goose bumps in their wake. His hand that had splayed idly across her left breast moved back to the right, his fingers playing with the white buttons of her uniform shirt.

"Y-Yes Kaname." She nodded shyly, giving him the permission he needed to slip the buttons out of their hold, one by one, exposing the white lacey bra until finally, he reached the last button. Biting on her lower lip, she watched as his eyes strayed from hers, washing over her exposed torso. He could hear her heart rate accelerating, see her nervousness. Why was she nervous? Did she think that he didn't like what he saw? A small smile tugged on his lips as he leaned down, sweeping his smooth lips across her pink pouty maw.

"You're beautiful, my Yuuki…" purring, he sat up on his knees and reached down to gently push her shirt off of her shoulders. Picking up the garment, he tossed it over to the rest of her clothes that he'd removed so she could rest comfortably earlier. Shoes, socks, school blazer, Artemis, all of those items were neatly placed, except for her shirt at least. Leaning forward, he kissed her again, harder this time than before, more demanding, more wantonly than before. His tongue traced down across her lower lip before hers parted to welcome the sweet appendage. Her cautious muscle flicked against his the side of his fang, sending chills down the vampire's spine. Yuuki blushed at the response she coaxed out of the man above her, his fangs having elongated slightly at the contact. Pulling back she felt her fingers take a mind of their own as they came to wonder up, shakily unfastening the dark buttons of his maroon button down. He held no protest.

She couldn't believe that this was happening! She was laying in his smooth sheeted bed, with this god of a man hovering over her, being careful so as not to crush her, being gentle as so not to startle her. The dominant, forceful man from before who pinned her into trees and walls was now this sweet and caring lover. Was he doing this to comfort her from what happened with Zero before? Trembling hands finally came to the last button, sliding up to push the soft material down his shoulder, her tiny hands brushing across the muscles of his biceps, nearly biting her lip at the way his muscles quivered under her gentle strokes. Sweeping her fingertips against his sculpted collarbone, she couldn't keep from staring. Swallowing, she suddenly had a very dry throat. What was even stranger was how she suddenly felt rather comfortable, nearly half nude on her secret obsessions bed. Perhaps it was just because he was holding no objections, and the look he was giving her… She could see that this gorgeous man wanted her. Not some other ethereal vampire, no, he wanted her.

"K-Kaname… Are you… Do you… Are you sure?" she breathed, nervously, lowering her body back onto the mattress, she sucked in her lower lip, waiting, anxiously waiting.

He chuckled darkly, reaching down to stroke down her soft, cheek. "Yuuki, love, I'm more than positive, I've been positive for years. It's me that should be asking you my innocent little Yuuki…" he murmured, having leaned down to gently nuzzle his nose against hers. "So…" his hand slithered down to the valley between her breasts, stopping at the front middle of her bra. Slowly slipping his long elegant finger under it, he lifted with a gentle tug. "Are you sure, little Yuuki?" teasing her. If she wanted to back out now, he was willing to allow it. He was willing to pull the sheet up over his petite lover and let her rest further after being drained from the falling creature known as Zero.

Wide, deep burgundy eyes wondered into those of her protector, it was her choice from here on out. If she didn't want this, he would stop. But did she? Did she want this? She loved Kaname, truly she did after years of devotion in keeping her safe, and he had recently made her very aware of his own feelings for her. What harm could it do to keep going? Again, she swallowed the dry lump in her throat, briefly nodding her head at him. Yes, she wanted more, she wanted to keep going and to feel more of his touch, more of his body.

Her nod wasn't enough, he wanted to hear what she wanted from him, wanted to hear that she was positive and a simple jerk of her head just wasn't the confirmation he desired. He may be being gentler with her than before, but he was still in the mood to be a tad playful in their sexual attractions. He slipped past her cheek and stroked the tip of his nose along the length of her jaw until he reached her ear , nipping at her lobe before going lower to the soft flesh just under her ear, lightly pursing his lips in a teasing kiss "I'm sorry love but, I don't understand. You're going to have to be more… vocal" purring against her throat, he brushed his lips down further until he was at her fluttering pulse, chills of desire tracing through his muscles as the soft pumping of her blood grew more insistent on the main vein that pressed against his persistent mouth.

"Y-Yes… Yes I-I'm sure Kaname" shivering at his nips and sucks, she turned her head slightly to press her lips into the corner of his sculpted jaw. Every brush, every kiss sent wave after wave of heat straight into the pit of her belly, a liquid heat pooling there in anticipation for what he would do in response to her answer. He smirked against her throat, pulling back slightly to start with open mouth kisses down her collar bone and into the valley between her small perky breasts. His hand that had long wondered back to rest on her side slipped back up to the center of her bra, slicing the thin scrap of material that kept the cups connected.

"Kaname!" Yuuki gasped as her breasts flounced free. Instantly, out of reflex, both of her hands shot up to cross and hide her exposed bosom to his hungry eyes. Of course he reached up to gently grip her wrists, softly pulling her wrists back down to her sides.

"You said you were sure Yuuki, so please don't hide yourself from me…" he murmured, bringing one of his large palms up to cup one of her soft mounds, the soft gasp in surprised pleasure that parted her luscious pink lips let him know that she would keep herself from trying to hide her small, lithe figure from his needy gaze. Kaname watched as she closed her eyes, sucking in a slow, deep breath in hopes to calm herself. "Yuuki, open your eyes. Look at me Yuuki.." his tongue slowly snaked out from the center of her breasts before trailing over to the tip of one pert, flushed peak. Instantly, with another sharp intake of breath, her eyes snapped open in shock.

Mindful of his fangs, he sucked in the pink peak while lazily circling the tip of his tongue around it, his hand paying attention to the twin gently kneading at the mound while dragging the pad of his thumb back and forth across the stiff nipple. Yuuki found it nearly impossible to sit still, her hands finding their way up to hold onto the back of his head, lacing her small fingers into the perfect, smooth brunette locks with a soft cry of pleasure. Her back arched up into his taunting lips, allowing his free arm to wrap around her slim waist, hugging her body closer as he carefully traced his fang across her aching peak. Tossing her head back, Yuuki let out another breathy moan, a whimper passing her lips a moment later at the lack of contact when he pulled away from her. "W-Why, Kaname why did you umm… Stop?" gasping softly, wondering if her reaction had displeased him… Why else would he stop?

His head tilted towards the door, moments later the sound of Akatsuki's voice caught her attention. Yuuki immediately began to squirm, reaching down and grabbing the sheet to pull up her body before the actual knock was placed on his door. Even though the door was locked, she didn't want to risk someone coming in to see her in such a… disheveled state. Flushed cheeks, eyes still glazed over in foreign pleasure, breasts exposed and hair slightly tousled.

Kaname sat up , scooting to the edge of the bed to reach down and grab his shirt, draping it over the frail girls shoulders. Striding across his dorm room, he unlocked the door and tugged it open slightly, blocking Akatsuki's view of his Yuuki with his own tall, lean body. "What is it Akatsuki?" he asked, his soft baritone voice sharp and demanding. He really was not too thrilled with being interrupted after what he'd been working towards for so long.

All Yuuki could hear were soft murmurs before she saw Kaname's back stiffen. "I'll be out in a moment…" with that he closed the bedroom door and moved back to sit beside a very confused Yuuki. "Zero has come out of his… state, and my presence has been requested." He said softly, Yuuki went to speak before he held up a hand to silence her, the girl instantly sucking in her bottom lip in irritation. "I will tell you everything I can when I get back, until then you are to stay here. Akatsuki and Aidou will be here if you need anything." He finished, reaching out to gently stroke the side of her innocent face.

He really hated to lie to his precious princess but, there would be a few things he would keep from her in this meeting… Zero needed to be taught not to touch what didn't belong to him, especially if whatever it was belonged to pure blood Kaname Kuran.

A/N: Sorry to interrupt them, I just had to! ;) Thank you everyone for being patient for my updates, work and saving money has been consuming a lot of time! Hopefully it won't take so long next time!
