Yuki's POV

I couldn't hear him behind me anymore.

'Maybe he's finally given up on me,' I thought as I slowed to a stop in the middle of the crowd, 'it's better for him if he has.'

I slipped and weaved my way through the crowd. The burning in my throat was becoming worse with every step. Finally, I chanced upon an seemingly abandoned warehouse. I slid the door closed and nearly gasped at who was standing in the middle of the floor. He turned to me.

"Zero!" I gasped. His lilac colored eyes stared at me for a moment before he smiled lightly at me. I placed my head to my throat gently.

"It hurts doesn't it?" He whispered as he took steps toward me. He placed his hand over mine and looked at me. I watched as a look of regret and guilt flashed through his eyes. "If only to appease you for a moment…" He mumbled then lowered himself down onto his knees. My mouth fell open and my eyes began to burn a darker red.

"Zero!" My hands fell to his shoulders and I tugged lightly. "What are you doing?" I questioned.

"Repaying all the moments I took from you…" Zero whispered, his hand roamed from mine to my shoulder. "Drink, Yuki." At the command the burn seemed to pick up higher.

"I'm sorry," I whispered before sinking my teeth into the tattoo on his neck. He tensed against my teeth. I raised my hands to his back and rubbed lightly. A slight tear fell from my eye as I fed. It landed on his neck.

"Yuki…" He breathed. I felt him relax and his strong arms folded around my waist. I could fill his thoughts through his blood. My past life, my human life, played like a slow movie.

"Yuki…" I could see him leaning against the other side of the door with a tray of soup in one hand. "Are you feeling any better?"

"Yeah. You can come in, you know." I answered. He opened the door and stepped in.

"I brought you something to eat." He elaborated with a shrug and light blush. I smiled brightly. Zero looked around twelve. I looked eleven.

"Thanks, Zero!" He sat down at the edge of my bed and placed the tray on my legs. I looked at Zero who hadn't looked away from me since he sat down as I took the first bite. "Yum." I mumbled and continued to eat the rest down. He smiled at me. I smiled lightly back.

I let a sigh escape my mouth and leaned more onto him as I fed from him. The noise seemed to trigger a memory from him as he laid his head onto my shoulder.

His hands were everywhere. His eyes were stationary, fixed on mine. I leaned up and kissed his lips. He applied more pressure, forcing me down onto the dorm bed. His dorm bed.

"Zero," I watched myself sigh as we broke apart. "Please…"

"Please what?" He asked, smirking.

"I need you." I choked out, blushing brightly at the boldness of my words. He kissed me gently.

"It's going to hurt." He whispered to me.

"I don't care!" I grabbed onto his shoulders tightly. "I don't care! I want it to be you…to be my first…" His mouth fell open in shock then closed. He kissed me hard.

I broke away from his neck and licked the wound clean. He stared at me, his eyes held regret.

'"I want you to be my first…"'

"I tried to keep the memory away," Zero's voice broke my thoughts, "but it found a way through anyway." I swallowed.

"Tell me," his head snapped over to me quickly. His lilac eyes wide. "What happened that night. What led up to it…"

"You had come to get me for patrols as you usually always had too," he smiled in a bittersweet way, "you weren't as mad as me as you usually are when I skip out on patrols. Instead you just stared at me. You weren't with Kaname at the moment, but we both knew that it was going to happen." I closed my eyes as his words flowed into my ears. "You said that you just wanted one night; that was all you wanted…" he looked away from me, "to see if you were doing the right thing…I couldn't deny you the one thing you wanted. Somewhere in me, I was delighted to have one night with you," I stepped toward him and wrapped my arms around his neck once more, "before he took you from me. That night was the only night you delayed patrols…" Amusement had trickled into his voice.

"It was a double sided sentence," he looked at me in confusion, "you're words, 'it's going to hurt you'…"

"Are you happy with him?" Zero asked me after many minutes of silence.

"There's trouble in the once paradise," he looked at me confused. Tears started to gather in my eyes. He pulled me into his arms once more. "I'm pregnant…"

"That should be a great thing, why is there trouble?" Zero questioned. If I hadn't been in his arms I would have hit myself in the forehead.

"Think Zero," I said, sniffling, "being pregnant doesn't happen instantly. Morning sickness takes time to hit. The symptoms take weeks to show!"

"It's not his…It's….." He trailed off. I pulled away and looked at him through puffy eyes.

"Probably yours. You're the only other man I've been other than Kaname…" I started crying again.

"What are you going to do?"

"I don't know! I ran away before he could say anything. He just asked me if there had been another before him…it was a fair question but I didn't know if there had been or not! I can't remember much from my human past because of the change!" I was ranting now and crying at the same time. My tone dropped, "But I'm glad you're the dad…"

"Yuki…" Zero gasped. "God…I'm sorry…"

"Hey! Didn't I say that I'm glad you're the dad?"

"Yeah…but what about Kaname? What about you? Me?"

"I don't know…"

"Well you need to figure that out." He stood gently and pulled me to my feet along with him. "Go find him and figure it out." I nodded.

"Will I be seeing you again?"

"Are you kidding? I just figured out I'm a dad. Yeah, you're going to see me," he answered. I nodded and walked out of the warehouse.

'I've caused him pain once again…I've caused Kaname pain as well now…' I thought. '"I don't care! I want it to be you…to be my first…"' I wasn't paying attention to how long I'd been walking nor where I was going.

Suddenly, I found myself hitting something hard. I stumbled back and rubbed my forehead. The familiar smell of Axe and something uniquely Kaname reached my senses. My eyes widened, but before I had the chance to run his arms closed around my waist in a tight grip. Instantly, my mind kicked in to panic mode and I began to struggle against him. My feeble fists punched at his chest again and again as I tried to pull myself free of his grasp.

"Yuki," he whispered, his voice rough from pain, "please stop fighting me." I kept struggling, even as his words-the pain in his voice-cut me to the core. "STOP FIGHTING ME!" He roared. I stopped taken back by the raw anger, pain, and power in his voice. "Thank you. Now you're coming back with me." Before I could open my mouth to protest, he threw me over his shoulder and then we were gone.

I found myself being thrown down onto the bed that Kaname and I had occupied many times. Except now, it wasn't a happy or lustful occasion. His body was livid and his eyes had so many emotions running through them. Pain, anger, and regret.

"Kaname-" I tried to speak.

"No, you're going to listen to me!" His dark eyes flashed once more, "I don't care if the child isn't mine. I don't care! I just want you…" He collapsed onto the bed and onto of me. A slight gasp left my lips at his weight, "I just want…" He whispered with his head laying on my shoulder-in between my neck and collar bone, "I just want you…if the child in you does belong to someone else; then I don't care. We'll raise her or him together. We'll do this together…just don't…" I could feel water hitting my shoulder. My eyes widened in shock.

'Kaname's crying…' I wrapped my arms around his neck and raised my head onto his shoulder.

"Just don't leave me again…" He finally choked out the final sentence.

'I suppose now would be a time better than any.' That weird Mortal Combat ending came into my head as I opened my mouth. 'Finish him…'

"Kaname…I know who the father is…" I closed my eyes as he raised his head. "It's Zero…"
