Kaname immediately loosened his grip on Zero's collar, halting at his assault.
His thirsty eyes were taking in the blood spilled to the floor and examining every inch of Yuuki's delicious skin, as if even the tiniest of details missed will be of a great loss…
It must taste as luscious and exquisite as it looks.
"Kaname if you hurt Zero! I… I will hate you!" Yuuki cried, pulling down her blouse to cover up her lower body.
A second too late my sweet, Kaname maliciously reflected, all the pureblood willpower he could have had mustered was all but forgotten.
Throwing Zero aside like the garbage he is, Kaname did not hesitate to approach Yuuki in one fluid motion to pin her up against the bathroom wall.
"Kaname…" Yuuki inaudibly whimpered; looking feeble and frail under Kaname's viselike grip.
"You do not have to be afraid any longer Yuuki. I will take care of you…" Kaname huskily voiced, his balmy and moist breath blowing down over Yuuki's smooth neck. Kaname took this opportunity to lick a spot close to Yuuki's ears, teasing her.
Yuuki shivered; tears of confused and conflicting emotions was welling up within her, but she wasn't crying just yet, no… she was far from crying, she trusts her vampire so much that she hasn't even thought of Kaname ever meaning to hurt her, Yuuki was sure of that…
The Kaname I had known 10 years ago will never change, not now and not ever.
"Yuuki… Do you trust me at all?" Kaname finally asked. His voice was laced with sorrow and regret for the first time.
"Of course I do!" Yuuki immediately shouted back, she couldn't believe Kaname ever sounding so doubtful before. She looked straight to his comforting and auburn eyes to get her point across.
Kaname's hold softened, "Then prove it… kiss me."
Pain, without love
Pain, I can't get enough
Pain, I like it rough
'Cause I'd rather feel pain than nothing at all
Yuuki just hold on…
This was Zero, lying and hurting on the cold polished floor of the bathroom. He still hadn't fully recovered from his convulsion, plus being knocked to the ground by Kaname didn't exactly ease the pain at all.
I'm going to make you pay for all the troubles and worry that you had caused Yuuki, Zero resolutely sworn.
This had been the last straw, and Zero just couldn't help him self and watch Yuuki be "tortured" by that despicable, blood-sucking beast.
Propping himself up with his elbows Zero stood up on his knees, only to be attacked with yet another dizzying spell of ravenous need for blood.
I need blood! Can't continue on… like this.
Zero crawled from his fetal position, the pain and craving of blood still pounding from within him. Stopping short in front of Yuuki's "leftover" pool of blood, Zero warred between his human dignity and the beast that has wormed its way in.
Should he or should he not take this blood?
…
"Need blood… to save Yuuki." Zero barely muttered.
Zero crawled even more closely to the blood until his silver hair finally got stained from within the pool; he has decided and the beast had won.
"Argh!" Zero huddled himself once again to a fetal position.
Anger and agony
are better than misery
Trust me I've got a plan
when the lights go off you will understand
It was ironic on how Zero had to rely on Yuuki's blood to save her; needing her to save her.
Does that make sense at all?
Unfolding himself from his position, Zero stuck out his tongue, cautiously at first, and then dipped it to the ruby elixir presented out before him.
That had struck a chord in Zero's senses; his relinquished hunger taking over him like sweet and bitter toxic.
Soon he had sat up and was bent over the blood, lapping away at it like a mad bulldog, his thirst seemingly unquenchable.
He was so absorbed with cleaning Yuuki's gratifying blood off the floor that Zero had not even notice her lips coming in contact with the pureblood's own.
Something he only had wished to have happened in his nightmares.
I waited; patiently waiting like I always do with Yuuki to make her decision.
The gravity of the situation was nerve-wracking, but I kept my expression as placid and indifferent as possible.
She was staring at me with such uncertainty inside her round, chestnut eyes, but I also detect infatuation from within.
What have I done? Do I really hurt her this much? Can I ever comfort her as a lover?
My hands were grazing at her shoulders, no longer trying to take control.
No longer I'm I going to hurt Yuuki again.
I thought we'd be fine
all these years gone by
now I'm asking you to listen
well and tell me about everything
No lies we're loosing time
"I'm sorry Yu-" I began to say, only to be abruptly cut short when Yuuki suddenly seized at my tie and forcefully tugged it down for me to bend down, little had I known that she was going to capture my mouth with her own delectably soft lips. My eyes widened in shock; I was caught completely off-guard, nonetheless I had recovered quickly and was soon kissing her back with as much fervor and passion a kiss can reflect.
Yuuki…
Yuuki's lips were pursed tight against mine, and her arms were wound around my neck as support to makeup for her petite and lean figure.
It felt like nothing I had ever felt before; better than the taste of blood itself…
Carefully breaking our kiss I proceeded to Yuuki's neck once again, tenderly licking the spot that was about to be marked by me. I felt her tremble, but her head shook vigorously with approval at the same time.
"D-do it, Kaname…" Yuuki timidly urged, gripping at my uniform coat tightly.
I'm not always like this
It's something, I become
A terrible weakness
In my nature, in my blood
Save me, oh save me, save me from myself
Before I hurt somebody else again
I bared my fangs in preparation, and finally without the slightest hint of either doubt or regret, I pierced Yuuki's neck, drawing blood from her very vessels.
My mind was suddenly thrown in a lust-filled void for more, but integrity and justice soon had also flooded my mind as I sucked in more blood from Yuuki's neck.
What I had just done was a mortal sin to vampires, something we can never escape, no matter how hard we try, the sin we bear is inescapable.
Domino motion jump starts when we touch
The blackout approaching
Here it comes now, wish me luck
It's all over, it's all over, it's all over in a flash
I can't remember
What have I done now?
Zero had never disgraced himself as much as he did just now.
Kaname was right; I am nothing but a monster myself, even more so than him.
Zero wiped the corners of his tainted mouth with the cuff of his dark Day Class uniform; he had just finish licking off the last drop of blood from the floor.
Had he really been protecting Yuuki all these years?
Zero writhed in agony; the inevitable was coming to pass. He was becoming a Level E, even after just consuming blood.
He was disgusted by himself; drinking Yuuki's blood for the past couple of months. She had willingly offered her blood to him just that he can survive; to buy time for him as a human, and yet here he was, on the brink of mutating to a Level E.
I kept everything inside and even though I tried, it all fell apart
What it meant to me will eventually be a memory of a time when I tried so hard
And got so far
But in the end
It doesn't even matter
I had to fall
To lose it all
I'm sorry Yuuki...
Zero mustered up the little control he had over his body and turned around to face Yuuki and Kaname, but as soon as he saw what was transpiring, Zero wished he hadn't had lost his sight at the two of them at all.
"Kaname what the fuck are you doing?" Zero demanded, fury mixing up with his dormant Level E powers inside of him.
He wanted to rip him off of Yuuki, who is looking pale and quiet weak already from the loss of blood.
Kaname released his fangs from Yuuki's neck in compliance to Zero's request, but had glowered back at him with contempt and loathing.
"You're not going to last long…Zero Kiryuu." Kaname curtly stated, wiping off Yuuki's blood from his mouth.
"You don't think I know that? Yuuki are you alright?" Zero was still clutching at his sides but is able to limp forward to Yuuki.
"Yuuki" Zero called out again.
Yuuki's eyes were closed, but fluttered open slowly upon hearing her name aloud.
Zero, is it you?
I was in Kaname's protective arms, "Yuuki had I drank too much blood from you?" Kaname softly questioned.
"No it's alright." I replied, "Though I do feel a bit light-headed. It's nothing to worry about, I'm used to it." I reassured of him, even giving Kaname a small smile.
"Yuuki, why did you ever… Ever let him do this to you? Can't you see how this will turn out?" Zero chided.
"You still have a chance, I can-" Zero suddenly doubled over in an excruciating pain; his face contorting with twisted agony.
Things aren't the way they were before
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore
Not that you knew me back then
But it all comes back to me
In the end
"Zero! Zero are you okay?" I tried to squirm out of Kaname's hold, only to be pushed back.
"Let him be Yuuki." Kaname interjected.
"B-but Zero..." I can only do but watch as Zero suffered.
As reason clouds my eyes, with splendor fading
Illusions of the sunlight
And the reflection of a lie will keep me waiting
Love gone for so long
"Zero!" Tears were starting to escape from my eyes and running down my cheeks, I wanted to hug him and have him drink some of blood, anything at all to make him stop from suffering!
Only a pureblood can help Zero now…
Yuuki felt hopeless and at loss, what can she do for Zero? Cry and plead for him? What good can any of those do?
Yuuki covered her flushed face with her hands as she desperately wiped off the tears.
If only I can do something, I will do it.
And as if her prayers were being answered, Yuuki began to feel her heart beat pump faster, she was feeling ill but at the same time a peculiar feeling of power was also being released from within her.
"Kaname what's going on?" Yuuki asked, growing anxious and scared of the overwhelming sensation.
She…she also wasn't transforming? Is she?
"Sshh my dear, the time has almost come." Kaname murmured softly, stroking my hair.
"What time? Kaname what are you talking about?"
Kaname crouched down on his knees and started to run his tongue over my thighs where blood has leaked.
A tight moan had escaped my lips, and immediately I clamped my thighs together.
"K-Kaname?"
"Yuuki you shouldn't be scared." Kaname cooed.
I don't know why Kaname started to act like this all of a sudden, but I got a feeling that it has something to do with the new powers I am feeling inside my body. For the better or for the worst.
I'm not afraid of tomorrow,
I'm only scared of myself,
feels like my insides are on fire and I'm looking through the eyes of someone else
someone else...
is it any wonder why the answer keeps me petrified,
is it any wonder why,
I'm scared...
A/N: Do not worry readers, the lemon(s) will just have to wait until next chapter, that I promise. Anyways what do you think? Should I just kill off Zero here? Please, as always leave behind your ideas and reviews, they are like little gifts for me :-) Sorry in advance if any of you had caught poor grammar, typos, etc. etc. I try to fix everything on my own.
