Yuuki's sleep was agitated that night. She dreamed of Zero. He was becoming insane from bloodlust. He wasn't Zero anymore. He was a monster. Seeing him like this pained her heart.

Kaname felt her toss and turn. She made it hard for him to sleep. Her dreams were probably not about him. It was that damn ex-human again. His fangs elongated a little from all the anger he was feeling.

The next morning, Yuuki woke up feeling nauseous and a bit dizzy. She didn't want to be sick again. She was just starting to feel better. It had been a long time since the vampire's attack (she still couldn't say Zero): 2 months. She should have recovered a long time ago but her weak state had been a blessing for all sorts of diseases, from the common cold to the flu.

She ran to the bathroom just in time to vomit. She felt miserable; so weak and sick.

After a quick shower she left the Moon dormitories. Kaname, being a vampire, was sleeping soundly.

Yuuki was the kind of girl who couldn't start her day without breakfast. Today, however, she felt too nauseous to eat. She went to the Chairman's kitchen to find some medicine to help with the nausea and then made her way to his office, meeting no one on the way.

Kaien Cross was already waiting for his adopted daughter. He was expecting her to look sad and nervous but he was shocked: she looked sick again. There were dark bags under her eyes, she was getting skinnier as time passed and her cheeks were getting a sunken look.

"Yuuki, are you feeling well?"

"Sure. Why are you asking, Headmaster?"

"Call me daddy!" whined the man "You look sick, Yuuki" he continued with a serious face.

"I'm fine. I don't think I slept so well though."

"It's understandable considering what Kuran Kaname revealed to you. I wish I had done it myself. I'm sorry, Yuuki. I also wish I could have told you."

"It's ok"

"Zero's family was attacked by a bad vampire. His relatives died and the vampire bit him."

"I see" said Yuuki weakly

She was feeling dizzy again. She held on to the desk to steady herself

"Yuuki, you really don't seem healthy to me. I'll ask a doctor to come have a look at you."

"Alright"

"Going back to the matter of Zero, you have to know he didn't mean to hurt you. He's been very strong up until now. He has displayed the kind of strength of character few people are capable of. He also feels terrible about what he did."

Yuuki stayed silent

"He has requested a transfer after the end of this semester."

"What?" Yuuki froze in shock

"I tried to talk him out of it but there was no changing his mind"

"Zero is going to leave?" she felt tears well up in her eyes so she turned away

"Headmaster, I'm going now."

She didn't wait for his reply.

She went back to her room and sat there in the dark. Her mind wasn't functioning properly. Zero was leaving. No, this couldn't be true. There had to be a mistake. She had always been with Zero. He told her he loved her, hadn't he? Then, why? But she also knew Zero enough to have a good idea as to why.

Zero had hated himself for all these years. How could that be? How could she have not seen it? She should have been there for him. She should have supported him through his transition from human to vampire.

She got up and went to the kitchen. She needed to try and eat something. She made some very plain tasting noodles; something that wouldn't upset her stomach. She looked at the boiling water, allowed her mind to drift off into nothingness. She couldn't concentrate on anything these days. What had she caught this time: the flu, a cold, an inner ear infection? At least an inner ear infection would explain the nausea and dizziness. Wait…what was she doing again?

"Yuuki!"

She turned her head slowly towards the voice. It was Zero.

"Wow, what's wrong with you?" said Zero while holding her into place so she didn't fall.

Yuuki couldn't stand straight anymore. Did he scare her that much? He looked at her. What was wrong? Wasn't she getting a little too thin? She looked like she hadn't slept much either.

"Zero, you are here"

"Thanks for stating the obvious"

"The Headmaster said you were leaving"

"I have to wait until the end of the semester. I'm sorry; you'll have to stand my presence for another couple of months"

"Don't go!"

He stared at her in shock. She didn't want him to go? What was wrong with this girl?

"Yuuki, I attacked you. I almost drank you dry. I loved the taste of your blood. I'm a danger to you. You almost died! You should be happy that I'm leaving."

"I know you couldn't help yourself. I know you saved me in the end. And I can't believe I couldn't see that for all these years you were a…vamp…vampire. I'm sorry, Zero."

"There's nothing you should be sorry about. You should hate me. That's the only thing that would make sense. By the way, the noodles should be done by now."

"Ah, yes. Do you want some? I made too much."

They ate in silence. Yuuki hoped the food would stay down. Already she was feeling very nauseous.

Zero wasn't looking at her. At keep his eyes fixated on the bowl of noodles. They really didn't taste like anything. But he wasn't very surprised: Yuuki had never been a good cook. She took from the Headmaster in that department.

Yuuki suddenly rose from her chair and ran to the bathroom. He followed her and heard her throwing up. Was she sick again?

"Yuuki, are you alright?"

She didn't answer. He heard the toilet flush and the girl brushing her teeth. She came out looking positively grey.

"I think I'm going to need to go see a doctor."

"I'll ask the Headmaster to call one."

"I think he already did but go remind him just in case. I'm going to lie down in my room."

She looked so small. He wanted to protect her. He picked her up bridal style and walked to her room without listening to her protests. He left her on her bed and went to the Headmaster's office. He had already called a doctor. He should be there soon.

"Which one did you call?"

"Dr. Tanaka"

"Tanaka sensei? But he is a vampire doctor."

"And he's closest and was available today for a home visit. He just secretly specializes in vampires. He has a traditional medical degree. I'm sure he'll understand what's wrong with her."

Doctor Tanaka came an hour later. Cross Kaien showed him to Yuuki's room and left him to examine her.

"Tell me, Cross-san, what are your symptoms?"

She described them. He took her temperature, her blood pressure, and listened to her heart.

"You are a prefect, aren't you?"

"Yes, I am."

"And the other prefect is a vampire, isn't he?"

"He is but I don't see how this is relevant."

"It may be. Are you close?"

"Yes, we are. Or at least we were."

"Aren't you a bit thin?"

"I didn't use to be. I've lost weight the past month or so."

"And you have been eating properly?"

"Yes, I normally have a good appetite."

"That's interesting. Miss Yuuki, this school has vampires and as a prefect you are in contact with them quite a bit more than your regular peers, wouldn't you say?"

"Yes, but I don't understand why you are asking me this."

"Have you ever dated a vampire?"

"Why are you asking me this?"

"The specific symptoms you have are very interesting. Please answer my questions as they may turn out to be relevant."

"Not really, no."

"Not really? I'm going to ask you a very personal question. Please don't be shocked."

The young woman nodded apprehensively.

"Have you ever been intimate with a vampire?"

Her face got a very obvious blush. Of course now she knew Zero was a vampire.

"Should I take your expression for a yes?"

She nodded again in silence

"Did you use any kind of birth control?"

"I'm on the pill"

"No condoms?"

"No"

"Miss Yuuki, are you aware the pill doesn't work when vampires are involved?"

What? Her mind went blank.

"Miss Yuuki", continued Tanaka," you have all the symptoms of a human pregnant with a vampire child."
