DISCLAIMER: I do not own any part of VK, except for my lovely character, Hiroona (:

ON WITH THE STORY!!!

Chapter 4 Someone to Love Me

Cross Academy was filled with excitement due to the fact that the first dance was coming up. More importantly, it was a dance both the Day and Night classes attended. Even I seemed happier. That is, until my snot-nosed brother ruined it for me.

"Hiroona," his stupid voice had said.

I jumped at the sound of him actually using my name for once.

"You will not be attending this dance, understood?"

The entire class watched my somewhat happy face fall. I stood up, nodded, and silently left the room.

Kaname P.O.V.

"Kaname! How could you?!" Yuuki screamed at me. It pissed me off that she stood up for her.

"It was for you. So that you could have the spot light," I retorted.

"HIROONA RARELY GETS THE SPOTLIGHT. How can you be so CRUEL?"

With that, she swept gracefully after that bitch (A/N: SORRY. PROFANITY USED). Following her were my cousin, Shiki and his girlfriend Rima. Then came Takuma and my own servant, Seiren. Traitors, I thought. What shocked me most was even RUKA got up and left. Naturally, Kain and Aidou followed, leaving me to myself. I was angered that they all left me one by one for her, each giving me a scornful look before actually leaving. Stupid brat.

~ End P.O.V.~

Zero P.O.V.

I saw a commotion near the Night Class area, so I went over only to have Yuuki run into me at full speed.

"Zero!" she called. "Have you seen Hiroona?"

It seemed the whole Night Class was there, except for Kaname.

"N-no… What's wrong?" I asked, failing at hiding my worry.

"Uh. No time to explain now. I'll fill you in while we search!" she said all in one breath. I ran into the woods (Without Yuuki) knowing she would be there.

"HIROONA! Hiroona where are you?!" I called.

No response. I became extremely worried as I went deeper into the woods.

~End P.O.V.~

I hid in the deepest part of the forest, hoping no one would find me. I jumped onto a high branch, and hugged myself, knowing no one else would bother to do so. Not even Yuuki. I fought hard to keep the tears from escaping, but it was useless. They fell and fell, and never stopped. Have I really bottled up this much sadness that I can't even stop crying? The sound coming from my chest was horrible. I sobbed, knowing no one would hear me. I comforted myself, and let my heart out. Soon, I heard a familiar voice call me. Too upset to realize who it was, I bounded down from the tree and ran a little deeper into the woods. My vision blurred from my non-stop tears was useless. I continuously tripped on things, but I kept going. I didn't want anyone to find me. For once, I actually wanted to be alone… I soon gave up and just lay there after my last fall. I curled into a ball and continued to sob. The voice got louder, as the owner came closer. I clearly was not on friendly terms with luck. Feeling hopeless, I continued to lie curled up, crying, and cringing into my self until the voice found me.

"Hiroona…" the voice gasped.

Male…I thought.

"Hiroona, are you alright? What's wrong? Don't cry… Please."

"Z-z-zero…" I managed through my sobs. It was then that I realized that what I needed all this time was someone to love me. Someone to hold me. He held me close as I continued to cry into his shoulder, not speaking, not moving, just holding. For the first time, I felt relieved. I felt so good. When my sobs finally turned to quiet whimpers, Zero spoke.

"Do you feel better?"

I nodded.

"Do you want to go back now?"

Again, I nodded. I was about to stand, but the ground beneath me was gone! He was carrying me…

I buried my face into the hollow of his neck and let his scent calm me. My eye lids were heavy from crying, and I soon dozed off. For the first time, I slept feeling safe. Right now, he was all I needed. He was someone to love me.
