Kaname's POV

I stared down at her sleeping face. I had moved her into the Moon dorm and demanded to be left alone.

"Onii-sama."

'Yuki..' My thoughts whispered,I ran my hand across her cheek. 'You remember me. Was that the final straw for you?' A pained look came over her once peaceful face.

"Those violent fangs will slowly devour her from the inside."

I closed my eyes tightly and shook my head. I bend toward her neck.

'I'm sorry, Yuki..'

I sank my teeth into her neck.

The moment she opened her eyes, she gasped out:

"Kaname-senpai!"

I placed my hand over her mouth. She shook against me. Her hand fisted my hair.

'She's fighting me.' I realized with pain. 'She never fought against Zero.' Rage coursed through me momentarily. 'She always gave her blood to him willingly.' I pulled my fangs out of her neck before I bit down to hard, permanently scarring her. I watched her face, her eyes were once more closed. I bit into my wrist. Then placed my mouth of hers, letting my blood flow into her mouth. After a few minutes she began to struggle again. Once more I was reminded of all the times Zero had fed off her, even when I found them, she hadn't fought him. I fought back the pain that threatened to consume me. She relaxed and swallowed. I pulled away from her mouth of few moments later. Her eyes stared back at me, shocked and dazed.

"Have you awoken?" I asked her, rubbing the blood off her lip. "Do you know who I am?"

"My onii-sama." She whispered, lightly running her hand across my face. I smiled.

Yuki's POV

I laid my hands flat on his chest and leaned into him.

"We've got to get out of here." I whispered. "When Zero senses us.." I blinked at the usage of the term.

'Already I'm used to it..' I shook my head.

"He'll kill us both." I finished.

"Zero was on a mission tonight correct?" Kaname asked. I nodded. "Then.."

"No." I whimpered. "I'm not leaving without telling him goodbye."

'After all he's done for me..' I finished in my head. Tears filled my eyes.

"Yuki." Kaname whispered, he set his hands on my shoulders. "He will kill you." He spoke slowly, as if letting this sink in.

"He will try too." I elaborated. "But I know he-" Kaname placed his finger over my lips; fear showed in his eyes.

"That is not a risk," He whispered, leaning toward me. He rested his forehead on mine. His eyes closed momentarily before opening once more, he looked me in the eyes and whispered, "I'm willing to take." His forefinger stayed on my lips. "Please, Yuki, for once, listen to me." He moved his finger from my mouth and slide down to my waist. He pulled me to him, his head was near my ear. He whispered, "I can't bear the thought of you dying…after ten years of painful separation.." The pain now showed in his voice. I laid my head onto his chest and wrapped my arms around his back, my hands laid on his shoulders.

"For you, Kaname…" It hurt me to whisper those words.

'Zero…' My thoughts whispered, 'I'm sorry…'

"Does the Chairman know?" I asked, my eyes looking into his.

"Yes." Kaname looked at me, "He overheard our conversation in the hall. He knew that it would happen at some point. But he still wants to see you before we leave." I nodded. I broke away from the hug and held out my hand.

"Shall we go?" I asked, looking back at him. He nodded and grabbed my hand.

"I already have two bags packed." He smiled at me, I rolled my eyes.

"You've planned this for a while, huh?" I nudged him with my shoulder as I teased.

"Yeah.." He rubbed the back of his neck with his other hand, he looked out of the corner of his eye at me. A smile spread over his face. He nudged me back as we walked toward the door. He opened the door with his free hand. I smiled and walked out the door pulling him along with me.

We arrived at my old home, the Chairman's home, a few seconds after we walked out the door. I looked around shocked and stepped out of Kaname's arms.

"Will I ever get used to the vampire powers?" I whispered. Kaname laughed.

"In time." Kaname bend and picked up both our bags. I smiled and walked toward the home.

"Get ready for the tears." I whispered to Kaname, as I raised my hand to knock. Before my fist even hit the door, Kaien flung the door open.

"YUKI!" He cried, I allowed him to throw his arms around me. I wrapped my arms loosely around the man that had been my dad for years. I laid my head on his shoulder.

"I'm sorry to be doing this do you, Dad." I whispered into his ear. "Can you tell Zero something for me?" I closed my eyes and fought back the tears.

"Of course, Yuki." His tears were falling on my shoulder.

'He never was good at keeping control of his tear ducts.' I thought with a sigh.

"Tell Zero, I'm sorry for doing this, but there was no other way…" I felt a tear slide from my cheek. I looked at Kaname before saying the words we both knew to be true, "And that I love him."

"I will, Yuki." Kaien answered.

"And dad," I said, a smile came on my face, "I love you."

"YUKI!" He cried, squeezing me tighter. I gasped.

"Thank you for everything you've done for me." I extracted myself from my adoptive dad's arms. I rubbed my eyes as Kaien rubbed his the best he could.

"Are you ready to go, Yuki?" Kaname asked. I turned toward him.

"Hang on." I turned toward the stairs and grabbed the pictures in my room. I stared at the picture of Yori and Zero.

'Yori…' I thought, more tears fell from my eyes. 'I have to tell her bye..' Quickly I wrote her a letter and one for Zero as well. I went into his room and tucked it in the place I knew he'd look first. By our picture, he was 11 and I was 10-the picture was taken once he and I started bonding better.

"Zero!" I had whined.

"Yuki." He had answered back. His voice the same stoic tone he used but if it weren't for the touch of gentleness in his eyes that gave him away, I would have thought that he hadn't changed toward me at all.

"Help me!" I whined again. Holding up the necklace that the Chairman had bought me for my birthday. Zero sighed and slide from the chair he'd occupied, setting the book on the table, he turned to me.

"Alright." He sighed again. I lifted my hair. He slid the necklace around my throat. "What link?" He'd asked. I looked back at him to answer. In the moment, I did that, the Chairman snapped a picture. We blinked rapidly at the flash. Zero's face showed annoyance.

"The last one." I answered, looking at the Chairman. He smiled sheepishly at me.

'I'd already grown used to the flashes that the camera gave off. I'd been subject for the pictures, along with Kaname, for five years, but Zero wasn't used to it yet.' I darted back down the stairs and stood in front of Kaname and my adoptive father.

"Will you give Yori a letter for me?" I asked Kaien. He nodded. I slipped the letter into his hand, then kissed his cheek.

"Bye Daddy." I whispered, hugging him once more.

"Yuki…" He cried. When we broke the hug again, once more he wiped his eyes and glared at Kaname. "Don't hurt her, Kaname." His eyes hardened. I blinked in shock, so used to seeing the happy side of him, I'd never seen him this serious. "Or I will hunt you down." Kaname smiled.

"I have no wishes to fight the legendary hunter, Kaien Cross." He slipped his hand in mine. "But I will tell you, you won't have to worry about Yuki getting hurt." He looked over at me. His eyes softened. I blushed and looked back toward my adoptive father.

"I know, Kaname, I know." He said. He extended his hand toward Kaname. Kaname shook hands with him, one secure shake. "So this is goodbye for good?"

"I'm afraid so." Kaname said. Kaien looked at me.

"No matter who you are, what you are, you'll always be my daughter." He said to me. I smiled.

"You'll always be a father to me."

"Yuki, come on." Kaname grabbed my hand. "We don't want to be here when Kiryu gets home." I nodded and took one last look at my adoptive father before walking out the house that had been my home for so long for good.
