Chapter 5 is up. This one was sort of difficult to write. I started it early Monday but wasn't satisfied with it, so I changed things. I read it again Tuesday and it still bothered the hell out of me so I took stuff out, added more, and changed some more stuff, deleted parts… And then finally I was satisfied. I hope you guys enjoy because this chapter was a pain in the butt.

I was kind of wondering how many Chapters this story would end up with. My friend looked it over for me as I tried to think of a number and the only one that popped into my head was 27. I hope that it goes on that long, and I strongly think it will since I haven't even gotten into the complete story line yet. Maybe when the next Volume comes out I might have more ideas to add and use them to go off of. Read and Review! Arigato!

Chapter 5: Crossing the Line

A hand gripped the back of Zero's neck as it squeezed tightly with pressure. Zero's muscles in his neck tensed as he was pulled away from his meal. Blood dripped from his fangs as he turned to look at his attacker. Zero's eyes met with the blood red orbs of Kaname's. Kaname had a death like look in his eyes that were filled with the passion of hate and disgust. His white uniform was perfectly crisp white with black lining and a black undershirt that was slightly unbuttoned.

"You disgust me, Zero Kiryu. A blood thirsty beast is all you have become." Kaname growled it the iciest voice that was possible. The hairs on Zero's body stood up on end from the shrill sound. Kaname separated Yuki from him, embracing her with his other arm and holding her to his chest. He threw Zero across the room and froze his feet to the floor with nothing but a glare in his direction. Zero looked up at him with annoyance and licked the blood off of his face. He hid his face in his arms and just sat there, not saying a word. "You devoured her. I hope you enjoyed the delicious taste of her blood."

Zero just sat there in silence, not moving an inch at his remark. Kaname ignored him and picked Yuki up bridal style in his arms. "Stop…" Yuki breathed in her sleep. Her voice was ragged, and full of pain. Blood from the bite mark still dripped out in a steady flow, the tissue around it puffy and red.

Kaname tilted her head to rest on his shoulder and turned from the room without a single glance back at Zero. His feet took him down the stairs, to the other side of the academy, and into her dorm room. Kaname carefully searched through her clothes to find the key to the room and quickly unlocked the door. One of the lights was turned on, as he gracefully laid her on the bed and retreated to the kitchen. He rummaged through cupboards full of food and found a paper towel and wrapped ice inside of it, taking an extra dry one with him. With the dry towel he dabbed the excess blood off her neck and set the iced one on it for the swelling to go down.

Enough energy seeped back into Yuki's body enough for her to wake up. Her eyes opened weakly as she started to slowly stretch her body. Pain shot through her neck as she turned it, finally remembering what happened. "Uhh…!" She squinted her eyes closed and placed her hand over the ice cold wound.

"Try not to move too much." A voice from the darkened room spoke to her.

"W-Who's there?" Yuki asked, trembling. She scooted to the corner of her bed for safety.

"It's me." Red eyes glowed to her out of the darkness as a tired looking Kaname came into view. His hair was tussled and his white jacket was no longer on him, his shoes taken off at the door. His shirt was halfway unbuttoned revealing his upper chest.

"Kaname…" Yuki sat up more comfortably. "What are you doing here?"

"I brought you here. I couldn't exactly leave you alone." Kaname sat at the foot of her bed, sort of laying down, propping his head up on his hand. He half way closed his eyes.

"Why did you bring me here?" She already knew the answer to the question, but wanted to hear what happened from his point of view.

Silence followed. Kaname closed his eyes all the way. "He devoured you, Yuki."

Tears filled the brims of her rose colored eyes. "So that's why it hurts so much… And why I feel so weak and helpless." Yuki choked out a cry.

Kaname opened his eyes and looked at her, sitting up. "It's not your fault. He is the one to blame."

Her eyes were hidden from him as she shook her head, continuing to cry. "It is, Kaname. It's my FAULT!"

"Yuki… He is the one that drank your blood and did this to you. There was nothing you could do." Kaname tried to comfort her with his words, but she wasn't taking well to them.

"You don't understand!" Yuki yelled while bringing her eyes to look into Kaname's. "I let him do it… I forced him to…"

Kaname's face was plain with pure shock. "What? Why?!"

"I didn't want to see him suffer…" Her voice trailed off as she turned her attention to a wrinkle in her blanket.

"Yuki, a consequence of being a Vampire is that we have to suffer! Every Vampire goes through it, not just some." Kaname explained to her. "You shouldn't have to put yourself in danger for our sake." Kaname lifted her chin up so that their eyes met. "I don't want to see you keep hurting yourself like this. No one should drink your blood… It is too pure to waste on a beast like us."

"Kaname, you are not a beast." Yuki said while letting his words sink into her.

"Not as much as some others, but still a beast." Kaname closed his eyes while rising to a stand. A big yawn escaped him, opening his mouth wide, showing his large fangs.

Yuki giggled at the sight. "Were you sleeping?"

"Yeah, I fell asleep on the couch." He walked back to the couch and just let himself fall among it. "I thought you were never going to wake up so after the first hour I got tired."

"It's alright." Yuki said as she got up and walked around the corner then turned on the bathroom light. She turned the silver faucet on and cold water rushed out of it. Cupping her hands under it, water was splashed on her face. Yuki took a towel and dried her face off while she got a dry bandage and placed it on the two holes in her neck. She sauntered back into the room and walked over to where Kaname now laid.

Kaname's head was propped up on the red arm of the couch as his left arm was under him and his right hung off the side. Yuki smiled at how cute the scene was. Brown locks fell perfectly over his shoulders, shaping the sides of his face defining his features. She knelt down and pushed a strand of hair away that was over his eye. His eyes opened slowly as she continued to comb her fingers through his hair. A smile crept over his face as he once again closed his eyes. After about ten minutes it looked like he was asleep so she stopped, taking in his sleeping figure. His lips were open slightly, fangs slightly visible. The black shirt crinkled and revealed his bare chest.

A blush covered her face as her heart sped up its pace. Somehow, he always had this affect on her. She didn't know why but didn't want to question the feeling. Her attention was brought to his lips; the ones that gave her, her first kiss. Yuki rested her arms on the couch and leaned over and gently touched her lips to his. Her stomach fluttered like it always did. She pulled back as he opened his eyes.

"What was that for?" Kaname's curiosity gnawed at him.

"A thank you." The floor seemed suddenly interesting to Yuki as her attention flew directly to it.

"That's disappointing." He sighed.

"Well… Sorry I disappoint you!" She pouted while rounding her attention on him.

All Kaname did was smile at her. "Come here." He scooted over a little bit as she laid in his arms. Her head was tucked safely under his chin. They laid there for about three more minutes while Yuki squirmed under him. "What is it?" His eyes joined hers.

"Nothing." She replied. Kaname closed his eyes again. A minute more passed. "Kaname?"

"Yes?" He asked while looking into her eyes once more.

"Umm…" Yuki blushed under his gaze. "Can I have another kiss?"

"Sure." Kaname bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the lips like she gave him. He laid his head back down as she let out a great sigh. He pushed himself up from the couch.

"Why are you leaving?" Yuki grabbed the front of his shirt.

"I'm not leaving." He shifted his weight so that he was hovering over her. Kaname wrapped his arms around her and brought her closer as his lips crashed with hers. His grip tightened on her as he deepened the kiss. His tongue slowly slid into her mouth as she moaned. Her tongue came out and met his which made him breathe heavier and bring more passion into the kiss. Saliva built in their mouths as Kaname continued to explore and taste every section. Yuki's hand flew to his open chest and scratched her fingernails just below his collar bone.

Kaname drew in a sharp breath. "Yuki…"

Kaname buried his face in the nape of her neck and goose bumps covered her skin.

"K-Kaname?" She fumbled over his name.

His tongue traced around the left side of her neck. Her skin was salty but tasted good. Kaname lowered his tongue to where the major vain in her neck ran and licked at it lovingly. The rapid blood flow quickened his heart beat and his body pulsed.

"Kaname!" Yuki said louder than the first.

He stopped liking her neck and laid his head back down on the arm rest. "I can't believe you would think that I would bite you, Yuki."

"I-It's not like that. I knew you wouldn't… but it just scared me is all…" She protested.

Kaname brought her head back under his chin as the two laid there quietly holding each other. Yuki's deep breaths signaled that she was asleep. Kaname opened his eyes and looked at her lovely face. A thought kept running through his head over and over again that still haunted him: "There's a line that Vampires and Humans can't cross."
