Notice: I don't own Vampire knight.

I'm sorry I cannot update very often. I'm in college and it's taking up most of my time.

Yuuki was still having frequent nightmares about the attack. The voice in her head, the one telling her vampires were going to eat her, was louder than ever. She was jumpy during patrol and tried to stay inside after dark as much as she could. Cross Kaien would also take over some nights so she could stay home.

Sometimes, when she walked alone at night, she got so scared she felt a wave of dizziness hit her.

Zero was still beating himself up for doing this to her. Of course, she had no idea why he had sudden mood swings but she could tell he acted differently since she almost died. He was trying very hard to stay with her and take care of her but even that, he thought, would never be enough.

Kaname had visited her regularly since she was attacked. He always came to the headmaster's house. He knew she was uncomfortable being in the night class dormitories.

That particular evening he suggested a walk in the garden.

"You don't look very healthy, are you eating properly?"

"Ah, yes. I am."

"You look thinner than you normally do"

"I've lost some weight. I don't know why"

"You're still stressed out about what happened, dear."

"Yes, maybe I am"

"Very understandable"

"I think the fact that we never caught who did it is what is frightening me. He could be anyone. He could still be watching me. What if it is someone I know?"

"Would you still want to know, even if it was someone you trusted?"

"I need to know. I want closure"

"I see."

She eyed him suspiciously. He couldn't have…

"Do…Do you know something?"

"I do"

No! Not him! Of all people he couldn't have been the one.

He saw the fear and disbelief on her face.

"It wasn't me, Yuuki. But I can tell you who did this"

"Then please do"

"Not here. I need you to come back with me to my apartments."

"Why?"

"I want us to be away from unwelcomed ears."

She was hesitating. She didn't want to be in a place full of vampires.

"Can Zero come with me?"

"I'm afraid that's not possible. You need to trust me on this one. I promise I never hurt you and I never will. You can be assured I will protect you."

Yuuki closed her eyes. She remembered the first time she met Kaname. He had always protected her. It wasn't right of her to doubt him. She had no reason to not trust him.

"Alright, I'll come with you."

Kaname extended his arm and Yuuki took it and blushed.

Once they got to the pureblood's bedroom. He sat on the large bed and motioned for her to do the same.

She felt nervous.

"First, I would like to know why you have been keeping this from me."

"You were still recovering. I didn't want to burden you even more."

"Burden me? So, it's really someone I know." Said the young girl with a sad face

"It is. I'm sorry to be the one to tell you this, Yuuki."

"I have to know. Who is it?"

Kaname took a deep breath and smelled her. She was about to turn her back on Kiryu forever. She would stay with him now.

"Zero attacked you"

She froze for a second but got back on her feet

"Zero couldn't have. He is human and a vampire attacked me."

"Zero is a vampire"

"I live with Zero, I see him every day. He's part of the day class. How could he be a vampire?"

"You know his family was attacked by a vampire, right?"

She nodded slowly

"That vampire killed his relatives and bit him in the neck."

"I know that, but how does it explain anything?"

She was getting impatient. Why was Kaname telling her this nonsense?

"Dear girl, do you know what Purebloods are?"

"Pureblood?"

"They are vampires but unlike the other ones, they don't have any human blood flowing in their veins."

"The women who attacked the Kiryu family was she?..."

"Yes, she was."

"How does it change anything?"

"Purebloods have the ability to change human into vampire by biting them."

She had never heard of such a thing.

"Do you know what I am? Do you know why I am the dorm leader?"

"Don't tell me you're a pureblood too?"

"I am"

She shook her head. She needed to focus on the problem at hand. She would deal with Kaname's newly discovered nature later.

"I still don't believe Zero is a vampire. I think you are mistaken about the identity of my attacker"

Kaname leaned towards her and put his hand on her forehead

"You will when you see it through your own hidden memories" whispered Kuran Kaname

Yuuki closed her eyes and she saw everything. She saw Zero. She remembered his fangs sinking in her neck. The fear she had felt was coming back vividly. She also heard his cries, his desperate acts to save her. She tasted the blood on her tongue.

When she opened her eyes, she noticed tears were falling freely from them. She was shaking. Kaname put his arm around her.

"It's over now. I will never let him hurt you again. I will call the headmaster, you're staying here tonight."

Note: What's going to happen now? Will she confront Zero? What happens when she stays the night in Kaname's room?
