Chapter 6: Blind Truth
Noises outside echoed in Yuki's ears as they woke her up from her deep slumber. She turned around and stretched her body. Sunlight was filtering into the room lightly, but strong enough that lights didn't need to be turned on. Her rose colored eyes cracked open as she looked around the room. She was laying on the red sofa in her dorm. Her thoughts quickly shifted to Kaname.
"Kaname, where are you?" The room responded in silence. "Kaname!"
"The… sun, Yuki." Kaname's voice came from underneath her dark violet covers.
"I'm so sorry!" Yuki cried as she rushed over to the windows and pulled the curtains shut. She stepped over to where Kaname laid as he uncovered himself. "Are you okay?"
The black shirt was unbuttoned like she had last saw it, but he looked terribly tired. She sighed in relief. "I'm fine. I'm just a little weak and tired."
The clock forced her to look away from Kaname. "Oh no, I'm going to be late!" Yuki exclaimed as she dashed around the room for a clean uniform and her school items. After beautifying herself in the bathroom she joined Kaname. "I have to go. I'll see you later."
"I guess I'll just stay here… Since I can't exactly walk back to the Moonlight Mansion." Kaname said as he sat down drinking a glass of water.
"I'm sorry about that. You are going to be bored all day." She felt reluctant to leave him.
"Don't worry about it. I'll just sleep." His red eyes softened as he smiled at her kindly.
"I'll come get you when the rest of the Night Class is….. Zero…" Yuki whispered his name practically under her breath. Past events replayed in her mind. How were they going to act towards each other?
Kaname hadn't caught the last word but knew what she meant. He nodded as she left the room in silence. A few minutes remained until the start of class. Yuki traveled out to the courtyard to wake up along with the sunlight's help. Most of the Day Class had the same idea. Zero showed up on the other side of the yard, probably just out of the private quarters, and headed to Yuki. She saw him coming and decided to act like nothing happened. "Zero!" She called, waving as he neared her.
Zero kept his pace and stopped in front of her. "Yuki…" His eyes turned to beautiful amethyst orbs of pain. From the bags under his eyes, and the way his uniform was out of place, you could tell he didn't sleep well. "Did… Did it hurt?" He choked out immediately looking to the ground for support.
She was hoping he didn't remember or would just forget that it happened. "Yeah, it did."
The muscles in his throat clenched together wanting to speak. With a shake of his head and a mumble he walked past her. "Sorry."
The scent of his cologne caught in her hair as her heart dropped. "Zero!" She turned around and hugged his back. "Forget about it…. Please?" She asked, a tear slipping off her right eye only to be absorbed into his navy jacket.
A blush crossed his face. "It's not that easy. I really, am truly sorry. I'll forget about it if you do something in turn for me… Stay away from me… Please?" He unwrapped her from him and made on his way, only looking back once.
Stay away from Zero? Staying away from someone who treated her like a brother… His request hurt her so much she couldn't even understand why. Her feet took her to class when the bell rang. Her teacher rambled on a lecture about something on genetics. Yuki was only half listening and wondered what would happen if she had Kaname's kids. Would they be Vampire or Human? Would they have brown hair or red? Red eyes or light rose colored? A diagram was drawn in the back of her notebook that gave her the answer: Vampire, brown hair with light colored eyes. Without even thinking about it, she made up a diagram for her and Zero. The children would have red hair with violet eyes.
"Turn your notebooks in. I would like to see your work." The teacher peeked over Yuki's shoulder and snatched up her book. "What have we got here? Kaname… brown hair with rose eyes… Zero… white hair with-!" Zero looked up from his desk, two seats to her left and one up. A quizzical look covered his face.
Yuki snatched back her book before he could read the rest. "I-I'm not finished yet!"
"It would seem… You have five minutes." The teacher walked back to collecting more books and left her to blush at her desk. Yuki risked a look at Zero and noticed he still had the same look on his face. Class ended as Yuki dazedly walked to her next class.
"Did you hear that Kaname is always talking to that girl?" A girl whispered as she walked past.
"Are you serious? And I thought she had a thing for Zero? Two timing probably… Poor Kaname." Her friend whispered back to her, but Yuki heard.
Yuki quickly turned the corner and went out into the courtyard deciding she would be late to her next class. She took a seat upon the white bench and looked to the sky. A few white clouds were trying to cover the sun but it's too bright of a star. Two birds flew over her squawking loudly. The day grew hotter as noon came closer. Her eyes closed as her head laid back on the white bench. Silence covered the grounds as she still sat there. A shadow swooped over her face as she jerked up quickly to see who it was.
Zero leaned against a pillar looking up at the sky quietly. His white hair shaped his perfect face as the sunlight peered into his eyes and made them sparkle a royal purple that dazzled any that looked. "Nice day."
"Y-yeah, it is." The sky was once again pulling her concentration. "Umm, why did you say that this morning? What's funnier is that you said it and now you are here, next to me."
"Oh, sorry I'll leave." He closed his eyes and stood.
"Not what I meant! Geez… Do you hate me that much?" The question stung him.
"I can't believe you would think that I hate you! Don't you understand, Yuki?" He brought his hand to run through his hair as he closed his eyes.
"No, I don't understand! Maybe you can explain it to me. We have always been a duo and now look what happened." She looked to the sky again. "I just want things to be back to the way they were."
"Things were never normal! It may have seemed normal to you, but it never was for me." Zero argued back.
"Zero! We have done something that is unforgivable. I am still here for you and always will be." Yuki got on her feet now yelling at him.
"It's never going to happen again! I couldn't control myself, Yuki. I'm not going to danger you this time." His face came closer to hers so that maybe he could frighten her and she would back down.
"It's my fault! Why don't you understand that? I had the power to stop you, but didn't think about using it!" Yuki took held of the necklace around her neck and stared at him.
"Yuki…" Zero raised his hand like it was going to touch her face, but patted her head instead.
Yuki got on her knees on the bench and hugged Zero around the waist, resting her head on his chest. "You have always been there to protect me. I will be here for you." Zero blushed at her act but hid it from her. He hugged her back gently as the tardy bell rang. "I better get to class." With a wave they walked separate ways to their rooms. Classes continued which consisted of two tests for Yuki as well as listening to two boring lectures.
Then again it was that time of day, to usher the Day Class back to their dorms so the Night Class can come out. Yuki started on her duties early, remembering Kaname was still in her room, she didn't want to bring him out and cause a gossip column to be printed in the school documentary.
"Stop hiding and get back to your dorms." Yuki shooed two girls out of the hiding spots of two pillars. The hallways became emptier as the night went on. The hand on her watch read 7:53. Seven minutes to get Kaname out here and into his classroom. She jogged and skipped to her dorm room when she heard commotion inside. Maybe Kaname encountered one of her friends? Yuki pushed the door open and the first thing she saw was Zero standing near her bed.
"Zero…" A whisper came from her.
"What in hell is he doing here?" Zero demanded an answer from her in an icy voice.
"He helped me recover from last night. Zero! Please, understand." Yuki latched onto his arm and looked at Kaname standing near the red sofa with his jacket half on and half off.
"I can't believe this. What were you thinking? Let's go we have duties to do." Zero wrapped his arm around Yuki's shoulders and shoved her towards the door.
"Yuki." Kaname stepped forward.
"Stay away from her, Kuran." Zero took out the Bloody Rose Gun and pointed it straight at Kaname while he walked out the door. Yuki threw a, I'm sorry, look at Kaname as they disappeared around the corner.
"You didn't have to be so rude." Yuki said softly.
"Did he bite you?" Zero asked looking her in the eyes.
"No." Yuki replied.
"Did you even check?" His voice was angry and irritated.
"No." She undid the first two buttons on her shirt and showed him the left side of her neck which was free of bite marks, and then the left. There was a deep pair of puncture wounds.
Zero sucked in his breath as he lightly touched her neck. "I did this?" Tears formed in his eyes but didn't fall. "I'm so sorry, Yuki."
"This is hardly the time to say your apologies. You have Vampires coming; you don't need them riled up." Kaname came from the hallway with his eyes focused. "Wipe your eyes Zero, you look pathetic."
"You bas-!" He started.
"Let's go." Yuki pulled Zero's arm as she followed behind Kaname descending the stairs.
"Kaname! You look as good as ever!" A girl screamed.
"Kain and Aido are the sexiest twins ever!" Another yelled.
"Yet back to your dorms NOW!" Zero screamed in their ears. He was really pissed and was willing to take it out on anyone. The girls ran back crying.
"Stop being rude." Yuki complained. Zero just glared at her as she shied away.
"Yuki." Kaname's hand appeared at her side. "Walk me to class? I don't want any girls popping out of the pillars like a few days ago." He didn't wait for an answer but guided her with his arm around her waist. Zero followed reluctantly, flaming behind them.
They reached the designated class room. The other Vampires entered while Kaname lingered with Yuki. "Get to class." Zero demanded.
"Zero! Stop it!" Yuki looked to him behind her and yelled. She quickly jerked her head back to see Kaname, but instead met his lips. His warm lips greeted hers as her heart swam with luxury. She stopped, embarrassed. Kaname went inside as Yuki turned back to where Zero was. Zero was no longer standing there. "Zero!!!" She called down the hallway as she ran towards him. "Wait."
"How long, Yuki?" He barked at her furiously.
"What?"
"How long has it been going on?" Zero looked her straight in the eyes, hoping she had no part in what just happened.
"I-I don't know… a day…?" She fumbled with the words. Zero walked away. "Why would it bother you?"
"It just does, Yuki… It just does." His head hung low.
"Why?!" She yelled after him.
Zero stopped and turned to face her, ten or fifteen feet away. His eyes were saddened, to the brink of his heart breaking. A small smile formed on his pain stricken face. "I can't believe you sometimes. I'm always looking after you… Caring for you. Even bringing myself to love you… not like a sister or a friend… truly loving you, Yuki. It's a shame you couldn't see it until now."
Yuki stood there speechless with tears running down her face. Zero just gave her a bigger smile as she slumped to the floor. Her heart ached, but she didn't know why.
"Hope he makes you happy, Yuki." Zero disappeared, leaving her to drown in emotion.
