(Hope you are enjoying my story! Again I don't own the VK characters! Feel free to review please I would love to know if you like it or not! I was on vacation so sorry this is taking forever!)
The next few weeks seemed to fly by every day felt like an eternity. I was sent on so many hunts by the association that I barely spent any time with Ayame. I think Toga sent me on so many hunts so that I couldn't see his daughter. Most nights I would return from a hunt and Ayame would be fast asleep in her bed. Vampires were acting out more and more due to Kaname being missing. That guy was really starting to get on everyone's nerves. There were a few close calls on campus as vampires snuck their way through the gates; but luckily Ayame took care of those vampires while I was out hunting ones on the list.
"Finally!" I thought as when I woke up on Saturday "A day to myself!"
I climbed out of bed and headed over to the bathroom for a quick shower. I downed a few blood tablets before getting dressed and heading out to find the girl I love. I found Ayame in the work shop with Shiki; they were tinkering with her bike and I didn't really want to disturb them. I was about to walk out when I heard Ayame call my name. I turned to see her wearing tight fitting dark purple leather pants and matching jacket with dark purple stilettos and a pink tank top; she had dark purple eye shadow and mascara on that made her beautiful blue eyes pop. She took my breath away AGAIN!
"Hey." I said to her after a few minutes of staring.
"I missed you." she said while wrapping her arms around my neck.
"I missed you too." I said before kissing her. "You look hot."
"Thanks, Senri helped me with my makeup." she replied while turning and smiling at Senri.
"Well if you don't mind Senri, I'd like to steal my girlfriend for a while." I said to him.
"Oh no go ahead dude." He replied
"Thanks for the help Senri." Ayame said as she followed me out of the shop.
"Anytime!" He shouted behind us.
After we left the shop Ayame turned to me and said "Is it okay if I go and change my clothes."
"Sure go ahead." I replied while following her to her room.
I sat on her bed as she rummaged through the closet and pulled out a cute dark blue sundress with matching flip flops. She quickly change in to it before I dragged her out of her room and to the spot I had picked out earlier; it was just under a giant willow tree I had set out a picnic blanket and surrounded it with tea light candles. She smiled as I pulled a couple of sandwiches and juice boxes out of the basket and handed them to her.
"You did all of this for me?" she asked with tears in her eyes
I smiled and kissed her before saying "I'd go to the moon and back for you." It was true too; I felt like I would do anything for this girl.
"Even if I wasn't human?" she asked looking at the ground.
"What?" I said shocked. "Why was she asking that?" I wondered
"Nothing, never mind; forget I said anything." she said still looking at the ground.
I placed a hand under her chin and lifter her face so that she was looking me in the eyes; I could see the sadness hidden deep in those blue eyes of her so I said "Ayame, I love you no matter what! You know that right?"
"I love you too Zero." she replied with a smile; but I could still see sadness in her eyes.
The longer I left my hand on her face the more I noticed that she had a fever; her skin was burning hot. I moved my hand to her forehead and said "Ayame? Are you sick?"
"No, why?" she replied.
I picked her up and said "Come on we need to get you inside, your burning up."
"ZERO?" she shouted at me "I'm fine; put me down!"
"You're not fine; you feel like you're on fire!" I replied
I carried her back to her room and laid her down in her bed before going to the sink and soaking a towel in cold water. I placed the towel on her forehead and watched as she shivered from the cold water. Her cheeks looked flushed, and her breathing had picked up slightly, so I knew she was lying when she said she was fine. She tried to get up off the bed but seem too weak to move, so I gently pushed her back down and replaced the cloth on her head.
"Zero I'm fine really, this happens all the time." she said while pushing the towel off of her head.
"What do you mean this happens all the time?" I asked
"Can you get my pills from under the sink." she replied pointing to the sink.
I walked over to the sink in her room and sure enough right in the cupboard was a small bottle of pills; her name and the scientific name of the drug were on the bottle so I handed it to her along with a glass of water.
After she took a few pills she said "Don't worry Zero, I get like this sometimes; it's been happening since my mom died."
"So what are these for anyway?" I asked while reading the bottle again.
"Um, I'm not total sure, but the doctor said it had something to do with my scar." she replied while sitting up. "Shall we finish our date?"
"Sure, if you feel up to it." I replied while holding out my hand to her.
"I'm fine now." she replied while taking my hand and standing up.
It was a beautiful evening the temperature was warm for the time of year but no one liked the cold winter months anyway. The two of us sat and relaxed on the blanket well into the night; I was just about to kiss her when Aido came out from behind the tree and said "Miss Kuran would like to speak to you in private Kiryu."
"Tell her I'm busy."
"She asked that you come right away; it's urgent." said Ichijo
"I SAID TELL HER I'M BUSY!" I shouted at him.
"Zero." Ayame said while placing her hand gently on my arm. I looked at her to see her smiling at me; she had the most sincere look in her eyes.
"Just go to her." she said
I was about to protest when Ayame got up and started walking towards the barn. She turned back to me; smiled and said "The faster you go the faster you can come back to me."
I fallowed Aido to the moon dorm and into HER room. She was the last person I wanted to see. I had already told myself that I no longer needed her. I loved Ayame now and I wanted my past to stay in the past. But for some reason the gods weren't in my favour; they liked to toy with me; play with my emotions. They wouldn't let me forget her; even though I want to.
"So I'm here, what do you want Kuran?" I asked as I walked over to the chair she was sitting in. She didn't answer or turn the chair around so I turned it around and said "I said what do you want Yuki…"
I found her sitting there unable to move; she was as pale as could be, sweat was running down her face and I could tell she hadn't fed since she came to the school. My heart ached for her; even though I didn't want it to; even though I had moved on with Ayame, I still felt for her; I still loved her. She reached up and stroked my face gently.
"Yuki." I whispered as she hugged me tightly. I heard her mumble "Sorry Zero" before sinking her fangs deep into my neck. I froze unable to make my arms push her away; unable to jump to my feet and run away. At that very moment I know she was using all of her powers as a pureblood to stop me from leaving while she fed on my blood.
When she was finished I was too weak to keep my eyes open I seen her mouth sorry before I passed out. The next thing I knew I was laying on her couch I could hear her talking to Ichijo and Sara. The voices began to come closer so I closed my eyes and pretended to be asleep until they left.
I was so angry at myself for coming to her; I was even angrier that I thought my Yuki still existed; she was no longer the Yuki Cross I cared about. I was even angrier at the fact that Kaname was the one who destroyed the Yuki I knew and loved. But the thing that pissed me off the most was that I had been used once again by a Kuran before being thrown away.
I slowly picked myself up off of her couch and dragged my ass out of the moon dorm. When Aido tried to help me I slapped his hand away and mumbled "Don't touch me." before continued on my way. I made it half way to the barn before collapsing on the ground. I knew that I shouldn't be moving yet; I was still too weak but I had to get out of the moon door and away from the pureblood princess before it was too late.
When I had reached the barn I leaned against the wall until I was strong enough to go in and pretend nothing had happened. As I leaned there I heard Ayame talking to Shiki. "What's he doing here?" I wondered "Those two have been hanging out a lot!"
"You know what they're doing over there don't you?" I heard Shiki say
I heard Ayame sigh before saying "I do."
"And you're not angry?" he asked "I mean he is your boyfriend and all."
"I'm not too concerned with that girl, Zero is mine; if she pisses me off enough I'll get rid of her." she replied
"So why haven't you done anything yet? I mean first she kisses him and now she's probably drinking his blood and yet you don't even wanna do anything?" He said
"It would hurt Zero too much if I harmed her! That's why I do nothing." she replied
"You're starting to sound like HIM a little, you know that right."
"Like who?" she asked
"Kaname." he replied
"Kaname?" I hear her say "No way am I anything like him!"
"Well he wouldn't hurt Zero because Yuki loved him and now you won't hurt Yuki because Zero loves her."
"Never compare me to that vile creature again Senri." Ayame replied
"Sorry I was just saying that the situation is similar." Senri said "I'm gonna head out now, talk to you later."
"See ya." she replied
I moved over to the window still unable to stand on my own and watched as Ayame brushed Lily's mane. After a few minutes she winced in pain and the brush fell from her hand; she reached for her chest and began gasping for air. Her face went white and she fell to the floor. I tried to run to her but I too fell to the ground. I was still too weak from Yuki drinking my blood. I laid there listening to her gasping for air for several minutes but then suddenly everything went silent. I slowly pulled myself up to the window and looked in to see Ayame sitting on a bale of hay; she was hugging her knees and crying. Out of the darkness I heard a voice say to her "Your spells are happening more and more lately." I knew all too well who the voice belonged too and soon I seen Kaname step out of the shadows.
"Shut up Kaname, just shut up!" She shouted at him.
"Why won't you let me end your pain?" He asked
"Why don't you go bother you sweet princess and leave me alone!" She replied
"Yes, Yuki is my princess; but soon you'll be my warrior just like you were born to be!" He said
"I'm not becoming anything for you, I'd rather die." she said standing up, she wobbled back and forth like she was going to faint. Kaname reached out to steady her but she slapped his hand away and said "Don't touch me."
"Just leave me alone Kaname!" she shouted turning towards the door, she grabbed her bag and pulled out her pills.
After she took a few Kaname said "No amount of pills will stop you from becoming your true self."
"Just shut up and leave before I decide to blow your head off!" she shouted holding her gun towards him.
Kaname snickered before backing in to the shadows and disappearing. Ayame sat back down on the bale of hay and cried while I just stood there and watched; unable to make my body move. I didn't quite understand half of what was going on between Ayame and Kaname but I could tell she was hiding something from me. Something she didn't want anyone to know about, something about herself that Kaname must know.
I slid down the wall unable to hold myself up any longer and as I sat there my mind wandered. Could Ayame be a vampire? Could she be a werewolf? Why was Kaname interested in her? What was she hiding? Eventually I came to the conclusion that I had to protect her from danger at all costs, and I knew she'd eventually tell me her secret I just had to be patient.
Ayame finally found me outside the barn several hours later. She helped me back to my room and changed my shirt. Then she sat down inform of me with her back to me and lifted her hair away from her neck. She sat that way until I finally gave in and bit her. As I drank her delicious blood she sat completely silent; she didn't even tell me to stop when I reached the point of drinking too much. "Does she want me to devour her?" I wondered and then it hit me "Yes, Yes she does! She wants me to drink her dry, she wants to die!" I stopped drinking from her and wrapped my arms around her; I hugged her and whispered in her ear "I love you, never think about leaving me again."
She began sobbing and I held her to my chest for the rest of the night and well into the morning.
