Chapter 3. Lies

Takuma had arranged everything in less than two days and before Yuuki knew it the party was scheduled for the weekend. She of course was a pile of nerves and stayed locked up in her room without having a feed or blood tablets.

Zero was worried because Yuuki wouldn't answer to no one and not even Takuma whom for some reason everyone seemed to give in to him. The main reason Yuuki was scared was because of Kaname and what the vampire council might do once they get to learn she was still alive.

He blamed Kaname for Yuuki's ability to be afraid even of her own brother and now of some of the vampires that would attend the party. There wasn't even enough time for Yuuki to get a feeding when she had to have a dress fitting and even make sure that the decorations were up to her tastes and standards.

Zero was nervous since he would be personally escorting Yuuki all over the party and that meant being around many vampires in one room. Yuuki's safety was of course first and foremost and no one knew what would happen. Takuma had assured Zero that some people would be there and would jump at any moment to protect Yuuki with their lives.

Once all the vampires arrived and settled down, the chatting commenced all over everyone was ready to for the host to arrive and even curious. Takuma made a signal were only certain select vampires knew to be on guard and Kaname never noticed anything.

He went up to the front and stood on the right side and said "Ladies and gentlemen welcome to the house of Kuran. I welcome you the queen of all purebloods Yuuki Kuran accompanied by Zero Kiryu."

Everyone immediately started whispering and some were actually scared because she looked so formidable. She walked as if everyone was a threat and in fact some were especially the vampire council that would want to keep close tabs on her.

Zero was all eyes on everyone and any gaze that didn't look write especially Takuma's grandfather since he always kept track of all purebloods. He could even see that Kaname had shock written all over his face.

It was a very tiring event but no one dared come near Yuuki with intentions of harming her for she was highly protected and of course wanted to live. People even seemed to respect her more than Kaname and that was because her power was more open and everyone could sense it.

Yuuki for once was allowed to leave and she went to her study with Zero where Kaname and they all sat, though Yuuki didn't want to face him she had to.

"Kaname as you can see and have heard from Takuma, I'm very disappointed in you. You have lied to me for ten years and didn't even bother to help me when I was at the point of going insane. How can I trust you when there were so many secrets and lies?

I almost lost myself and even dared tried to kill myself all thanks to the onslaught of memories. Sadly I will not marry you because this was too much to handle all thanks to you. Please don't try to please me in any way because you've done enough. If I need you then I will call for you and that's that" Yuuki said as she held her hands in the desk that she had papers on.

"I'm so sorry my sweet Yuuki but I did what mom and dad wanted me to do and that was to protect you from everyone. They wanted to use you and all you were was nothing but a baby, even Kaien knew who you were but you choose to be mad at me.

I can't ever ask for forgiveness because I don't deserve it but if you need for me anything then I am at your disposable and I'll keep the council away from you as best as I can. Zero please be there and take care of her it's all I really ask for" Kaname said with a sad face and walked out feeling lower than life itself.

Takuma made sure everything was cleaned and went with Kaname knowing he would have to do a lot of cheering up because he just lost his fiancé. Though he didn't mind in doing that for Kaname was his best friend and also his king but he will always be there for him no matter what.

Yuuki was pissed enough and didn't let it show but also she was very thirsty but it wasn't fair to Zero that she didn't know how to feed the way a normal vampire would. Though she knew he liked the way she fed on him but she couldn't do that to others.

Zero went to his room since he could see that Yuuki needed time to herself and also to reflect on the party. He of course thought the party had turned out fine without hardly to any problems but he also thought that Kaname's actions and words were not correct. Kaname looked more like he was afraid of Yuuki than any of the other vampires.

Yuuki was feeling her all time low and it wasn't really helping things with her thirst problem that seemed to not abate yet. She also felt remorse for the way she treated Zero but she had to be cautious of people around her.

Though she trusted Zero with her life she couldn't put his in danger just because she was a stupid pureblood that had gone into hiding right under their noses. She just hoped that Kaname kept his promise about maintaining the council away from her because she didn't want to deal with them.

She wanted to live in peace and not have to put up with anymore lies that others seemed to tell her because sooner or later the truth always came out and not very pretty. In the end she must live with who she was now and treat those who deserved it with respect.

Hope it was to your liking. Review.
