DISCLAIMER: MATSURI HINO owns Vampire Knight :3 Not me. \m/

"Kaname-sama?"

The dark haired head of the Kurans, stared out of the window wearing a long face. Seiren has been watching him silently all these time. The sun is nearly setting down in the distance.

A crow landed at the windowsill where Kaname is standing. Suddenly, the gentle crimson eyes turned grim. "Yuuki.."

"Geez, that guy." I muttered to myself. I sat down at a foot of a huge tree, wrapping my arms around my knees. I have been bothered by what I found out last night. Sara must have had an idea about Zero and I and even Aidou-senpai has seen us together. What if there are more who have already discovered our secret affair?

Why would I care about what other people might think of me, anyway? They can't do anything. I closed my eyes and suddenly, Kaname's handsome face flashed on my mind. The past few days spent with Zero has slowly eroded my feelings for him. Zero has been occupying my thoughts and I have stopped thinking about him slowly.

"Yuuki, if you want me to let you go, you'd have to kill me first."

His voice echoed inside my head. His words kept on repeating as though trying to make me feel guilty of my betrayal. My sinful betrayal. "Noooo!"

"You may have another person inside your heart but, you must remember that you are only mine."

Why is Kaname torturing me right now? But, I deserve this. I should be hated by Kaname. Even so, I don't regret being with Zero even if I am also betraying somebody who is far away. I'm sorry Kaname.

"Yuuki?" I slowly opened my eyes. Silver hair and lavender eyes full of concern, Zero kneeled in front of me. His right hand is stroking my tear stained face. "You were crying in your sleep."

I could not tell Zero that Kaname is..

I embraced him and I calmed down immediately. "Zero, I..you..you made me wait for too long!" He merely chuckled. He gently pulled away and locked his eyes to mine, holding me in his arms still.

"You spoiled brat." His mouth curved in a smile.

"Well, I thought that you're not going to come.." He kissed my forehead to reassure me. I blushed. This is the first time that he did that and it made me happy.

"I just got busy with the association." I should have guessed. He has tons of duties for the association along with that guy Kaito. I just can't shrug out the possibility that he might be with Maria.

"I have something important to tell you, Zero." He shifted his position and sat beside me. He gave me a look that says, 'I'm listening'. "Well, the others…"

"..have noticed how we changed?" Zero completed the sentence for me.

"Sara was teasing me last night. I believe that she knew something." He continued to stare at the ground and made no comment. "Also, Aidou-senpai knows. It's not unlikely that the others might have known something."

For a long moment, neither spoke a word. Is it a good idea to talk about this now?

"Yuuki, I also believe that Kaname knows about us already." Zero said calmly. I gulped at that thought. It is possible that he really knows that I have betrayed him already. Zero glanced at me but I avoided his gaze and looked down at my skirt instead.

"The dream you had awhile ago is about Kaname right?" I nodded.

"I know that this is only temporary. That by the time he comes back, you could be with him forever again." Even how painful those words are, Zero uttered it without resentment in his voice.

I felt my eyes burn as my tears started to form. "Is this how are we going to be like always?" I spat bitterly. "I..I don't want to be like this. I want to go back like we used to be -"

Zero pulled me in his arms and held me tightly. I couldn't stop my tears from falling. I only wish to be held by Zero like this without hurting anybody else.

It is impossible. My guilt is eating me. But, I can't let go of Zero either.

"You.." I sniffed. "..said that you'd kill me the next time we'd meet right?"

"I did say that.." He gently stroked my hair calming me down.

"So, why haven't you..?" He raised my face with his fingers to level with his own. His eyes held mine in an affectionate way that made me heady. He slowly lowered his face to mine. I expected a bite from him but he aimed for my lips. His gentle lips moved against mine, making my heart beat fast. I shut my eyes. He wasn't forceful. Before I know it, I'm already responding to his kiss. Kaname and I have kissed like this before but with Zero, it's different. His kiss was filled with emotion as though he was conveying his feelings through it. The gentle kiss became passionate sending warm sensations all over, causing my bones to get weak.

He pulled away slowly and examined my flushed face. "It's because-" He paused and lowered his mouth near my ear, his warm breath causing me to tremble, and whispered, "I love you Yuuki." It was the sweetest thing that anybody has said to me. The way Zero said it was really pure and full of emotion that I found myself falling deeper into him.

He stroked my hair and grabbed every strand in one hand, revealing the skin on my neck. He touched it tenderly before planting a kiss which sent shivers down my spine. Zero's slow movements are making me crazy. Compared to him, I am more direct and rough when it comes to biting. He licked the flesh and in one swift movement, his fangs bore down my skin. I gripped at the back of his shirt as he suck my blood. When Zero has got enough, he returned the favor and let me drink his blood. Everything Zero does makes me forget about Kaname. I want Zero's blood now.

"Yuuki?" Zero whispered as I snuggled my head on his shoulder, moments later. I responded with a, "Mhmhm."

He reached for his pockets and took out something. The object must be very small because his right hand could hide the thing completely. "What is that, Zero?" I inquired.

"Open it." I pried his fingers and on his palm are two silver rings.

"What...Zero?" I looked at him questioningly, my face red. "Is this a..?"

"Are you surprised? They're a match. One for you-" He took one and reached for my left ear, hooking the ring on the hole of my earlobe. Apparently, it can also be worn as an earring.

"-and one for me." I watch him place the other one on his left earlobe also. "It's a promise ring, do you like it?"

This unknown side of Zero is really full of surprise, but I love it. "Of course Zero!" I embraced him tightly.

"I love you too, Zero." I whispered lovingly on his ear.

OMG! I'm going to add a few more chapters for this..haha :) Did I make Zero too sweet? kyaaa!~ Zero :3 please review ^_^
