P.S *"..."*This means Zero talking To Anna while the flashback from him is happening.

2 days later...

I walked hand in hand towards my car with Zero. Our fingers intertwined, casually swing them back and forth.

" You never told me what you and Yuuki did while you were out Ze... Did something happen?" I asked. I took out my keys and unlocked it before climbing inside and starting the engine while Zero sat with a sigh in the passenger seat. I sat there for a moment staring at him, waiting for him to answer. With his eyes shielded by his bangs he shrugged, then slowly looked towards me.

" Not really." My mouth dropped open a little at this.

" If it was " Nothing really" then you would have told me. We made an agreement not to lie to one another!" I pulled out of the parking lot of the restaurant that we had gone to for dinner and started home. A light rain had begun to pitter patter on my windshield so I turned on my blades.

" I could say the same for you. You never told me what happened when you woke up from the dead again." I mentally winced. He had a point. It was essential that I had to keep this secret of mine safe for now and I would have to tell him soon. Keeping a secret from Zero was hard.

" You first. If you tell yours, I'll tell mine."

Zero straightened in his seat, his gaze focused to the passing trees out of the window.

" We went to the place where Yuuki had once lived..."

^^^^^^^^^^ Beginning of flashback( Zero's)^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

*" We arrived at Yuuki's and I had waited for her by the front door"*

" I'll wait here," I told Yuuki. " Take your time."

Yuuki nodded and walked up the stairs, disappearing from my view. I closed my eyes and slid to a sitting position next to the door to wait for her. It was only a few minutes before she came back.

" Zero, I'm done."

I opened my eyes. " Let's go."

As we left I spoke. " I said you could've taken your time."

" Next time then, I guess. Anyway, this place just doesn't bring back good memories. Don't take that the wrong way. It's just that when I remembered the place we have to go next, we should hurry."

I grabbed Yuuki, threw her over my shoulder and ran down a hill, through trees and bushes. Yuuki remained stunned until we reached the road down below. I set her down.

" So where to next?"

Yuuki pointed over to some hills. " It will take half a day using the high- speed rail of this town."

" Okay..."

" He's an old friend of my parents. I'm going to get help from Isaya-san."

*" We had boarded the train and took the half day ride towards our destination, Yuuki was being well... Yuuki."*

I sat across from her and closed my eyes, putting a hand on my chin. Yuuki said something but I chose to ignore it. I started when she grabbed my wrist in my chin, forcing me to look up at her.

A drop of blood hit my cheek.

" How long have you been unsatisfied? I know, even if you try and hide it... this is such a waste." She stated, staring down at me. Then she leaned closer. " I will give you my blood because that is more severe. Your wound is healing too slowly..."

" STOP IT!" I cried and shoved her roughly backward. She hit the opposite seat with a hard thump.

Her gaze was level when she turned to me once more, barely showing emotion. " How exactly did you endure your hunger for a whole year? I heard that you can eat blood tablets but, when I recall the satisfaction from drinking blood I already understand that It's really painful to sustain from blood!" Yuuki's eyes turned sad.I frowned and stood.

" When night falls and I head out to hunt vampires... occasionally I drink the blood of those I hunt until Kaito returns from the look-out." I covered half of my face with a hand. " I dnk their unpleasant blood. Their dirty blood filled with insanity, so..."

" If that's the case," said Yuuki. I lifted my head, making my own shocked gaze to Yuuki's.

" No..." I said, putting my head into my hands once more." It's got nothing to do with you..."

" I understand..." Yuuki suddenly turned embarrassed with a cheery smile." Looks like I misunderstood as well. Ah... hey, can I take a rest too? We've been traveling non-stop up till now so both of us are tired."

*" We slept until we stopped, then got off the train and met a messanger of Isaya-san."*

" This is an invitation for you, a pureblood, and other nobles to a masquerade ball."

The ballroom was dark, only lit by candle light and full of vampires. After a while I found Yuuki out on the balcony alone. We stood there for a brief moment until I felt like was being watched. I turned very to slowly and saw Kuran standing there, with a mask and a cloak to hide his identity. But I could tell who he was right away.

Yuuki shouted for him to wait but he disappeared. " He's at Isaya-san's place!" And with that we had run to find Isaya.

We had arrived at his room just in time to burst through his doors and see Kaname disappear once more out the window.

" He's always so serious on escaping..." Mumbled Yuuki.

" Impossible to catch." I said.

" Indeed."

*"We arrived back in an apartment and Yuuki did something unexpected."*

I had let Yuuki into my room and she suddenly pushed up against the wall, fangs close to my neck.

" Yuuki! What are you doing!" I said, panicked and pushed her head away. She glared and pulled her sleeve back to reveal the containment bracelet on her wrist and pressed it against my neck so quickly that I didn't have time to respond. Bright light erupted from the connection and I was pinned to the floor unable to move from the charm.

" YUUKI!"

" If you absorb my memories... if I just erase my exhistance from the memories of Zero. It'll be easier on you."

She bent over me , fangs once again close to my neck. " Erase...?"

*"Then Yuuki bit me"*

" Stop it... I won't forgive you... STOP IT YUUKI!" I roared and snarled angrily as I felt my blood being drawn. Then Yuuki pulled away.

Her eyes were filled with tears, a watery smile played on her lips, along with blood at the corner of her mouth. " I'm sorry...but if I don't do so I... won't be able to go."

*" The only way to stop Kuran, is for Yuuki to turn him human."*

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^End of Zero's flashback^^^^^^^^^^^

Anna pov:

I hit the brake roughly but unintentionally as I parked the car in our vacant driveway, causing Zero to hit his seat belt. My eyes were hidden beneath my bangs as I sat there gripping the steering wheel, trying to calm down.

A cautious hand came to rest on my shoulder, my body stiffened. " Anna?"

I spoke through my teeth. " That sounds very... interesting." Roughly, I jerked away and snatched the keys from the ignition, got out and walked around to the back of my house. Zero found me minutes later pacing the backyard in my wolf form, growling to myself.

Out of the corner of my eye I saw him watching me.

" Anna, are you mad with me?" He asked, my ear twitched and I just kept pacing. This is the biggest secret and the most important, and it was too much. Yuuki, Kaname, Zero. The masquerade, Yuuki biting Zero. Zero feeding from the vampires he hunted. That irked me immensely. Why couldn't he just tell me that he needed blood! I could have given it to him! But nnoooo... He doesn't want to hurt me. That's why. I huffed angrily and stopped pacing, hitting a paw on the ground. What an idiot!

I sat down, staring at the blades of grass as Zero's hushed footsteps came closer and heard him kneel next to me. A warm hand pet my back, stroking the soft fur.

" I'm sorry I kept that from you."

' I worried about you a lot, y'know' I said inside his head. ' You never called '

" I'm sorry..."

I turned my head so he was looking into my gold eyes. I nuzzled his neck with my nose, moving closer to him.

" So, are you going to tell me about your little secret?"

I turned human and I told him everything.

His amethyst eyes were wide withe entire time till the end.

" So Kuran's parents saved you from death by Kuran?"

I nodded. " Pretty much. They were nice people-" Zero threw me a look of death."- vampires." I corrected, swatting Zero playfully on the arm and threw grass in his face.

He glared at me and shook his head to get rid of the grass in his hair.

" Speaking of Kaname. He doesn't know I survived. What am I going to do. Just show up at his doorstep and yell ' IM STILL ALIVE BLOODSUCKER! IM IMMORTAL MWAHAHA!' " I yelled, waving my hands dramatically in the air.

Zero laughed loudly, smiling at me. " I'd like to see the look on his face if that ever happened."

" Nah, I wouldn't do that. But ambushing him might just cover those words exactly." Laughter followed my words as we sat there in the backyard.

" You are really something." complimented Zero, smiling.

" So are you."

I layed down with my head in his lap. Picking lazily at blades of grass or a dandelion. Zero played with my hair, braiding and unbraiding it. A deep,relaxed sigh came from Zero." I wish we could freeze this moment and live in it forever."

I nodded in agreement. " Well, we're in it now. "

Zero's thumb brushed my cheek. " We could have many more like this you know."

Maneuvering my head I gazed at him curiously. " What do you mean."

A grin spread across his face like a beacon. " You know what I mean."

Then it hit me and it was my turn to grin. " So you do want to marry me?!"

Zero blushed to the roots of his hair. I shook my head chuckling to myself. " I told you so. "

Zero's grin turned to a glare and I got a fistful of grass in my face.
