That same night he decided to go talk to her. He didn't know what had happened when she visited Kuran. He didn't know at what time she had come back.
After their duties as prefects were fulfilled, he came into the Chairman's house. Yuuki was taking a shower, said Kaien.
Zero climbed up the stairs and went to the bathroom door. She had left a towel on the doorknob to signal the bathroom was occupied. For once, he disregarded it and came in anyway.
She was in the shower. He could see her silhouette.
"Yuuki?" Zero called
She hadn't heard the door opening. She almost thought she dreamed Zero's call.
She turned off the water.
"Who's there?"
"Yuuki, it's me"
"What are you doing in here? Didn't you see the towel?"
"I did. I need to talk to you."
She sighed.
"Give me a towel"
She slightly opened the shower door and the hunter handed it to her without looking. She got out of the shower.
"What happened with Kaname?"
"What? Nothing happened!"
"I waited for you at the gate. You never came back."
"I got sleepy. He brought me back to my dorms."
Her voice was uncertain.
"You're not telling me everything."
"Well, like I said, I was asleep. So I don't really know what happened."
He took a step towards her and lifted her head.
He suddenly took notice of her beautiful neck. He wanted to drink her blood.
His eyes turned crimson.
"Zero, what's wrong with you?"
Yuuki took a couple of steps back, her eyes wide in fear.
"It's impossible"
Zero couldn't control himself any longer. He had waited too long for this. He had waited too long for her.
He closed the gap between them. He quickly lifted the girl, went in the shower, and closed the door behind.
He put her on the floor and climbed on top of her. He moved aside her wet hair and licked her skin.
"Zero, please, don't"
She struggled against him but he was far stronger. He almost didn't hear her. Her voice seemed to be part of another world. She was so far away. Right now, the only sound he could hear was the sound of her blood running through her veins. Her heart was beating wildly in fear.
He bit down on her neck.
The ecstasy he felt couldn't be compared to anything else. Her blood smelled delicious and tasted even better. It felt like rich, liquid gold was gently going down his throat into his stomach. He heard nothing and saw nothing. He could only smell and feel her blood. The most precious blood.
He had waited so long to drink from Yuuki. He only wanted her blood.
Yuuki was also in a second state. There seemed to be a buffer between her and her surroundings. She was getting so sleepy she couldn't think anymore. At first, the thought of dying crossed her mind but now it was all too fuzzy. She was already abandoning the world she knew. Slowly, drop by drop.
Zero wasn't really thirsty anymore. That's when he realized Yuuki's heart wasn't beating normally. It was very slow. One might have thought it wasn't beating at all.
He jumped back in shock and stared at his love. She looked dead. Her wet hair was forming a halo around her head; her skin was pale and cold. Her lips were colorless. She was going to die.
"Yuuki, no" choked Zero. He felt sobs rise in his throat and tears well up in his eyes.
He gave her little slaps and called her name in desperation. She didn't react.
He bit his own wrist and sucked some blood into his mouth. Parting her lips, he fed her the blood mouth to mouth. The vampire repeated the process countless times. He didn't know if it was going to work.
