Hey everybody, just thought I'd add a little warning to this one. This chapter is going to get a little explicit, but nothing too risqué will happen, just a few situations.
Yuki stares out the window of her room in the night dorm. She smiles, thinking how nice it was of the vampires to give her a room after she and Zero became a couple. She giggles, wondering how the other students in the day class would react if they knew she had a room in both dorms. She then blushed, thinking how they would react if they knew she was with a vampire, much less sleeping in the same bed with one. Yuki blushes, as the words "sleeping with" creep into her head. She rarely sleeps in her bed in the day dorm anymore, always sleeping in Zero's arms. A smile spreads across her face as she gets the warm safe feeling of Zero's arms around her as she sleeps, even just from picturing it. She likes sleeping with him every night. Yuki blushes once again, as "sleeping with him" enters her mind. She tucks her fist up under her chin, thinking deeply. "Sleeping with him..." she says aloud to herself. Yuki often wondered if Zero thought about that, or about her in that way. Zero is always so respectful with her, never pressuring her into anything. She smiles, thinking of the gentle kisses he always gives her, and how much she loves them. How much she loves him...
Yuki stares out her window, and starts concentrating on what she has, and how beautiful a night it is. The beautiful moon, the sounds of nature. If she concentrates, she can even hear a wolf howling in the distance...
Zero grunts in pain as he's thrown against the wall, and again as he hits the ground. He looks up at his assailant. Seven feet tall, covered in fur, sharp, deadly fangs. Ichigo Kaburagi. Zero thought he was a vampire, perhaps in a rival clan to Kaname, but it has become obvious that Ichigo is something much more dangerous. Ichigo lunges at Zero again, but this time Zero dodges to the left, Ichigo's claw just missing him. Zero glanced back at Ichigo and tried to think of his next move. Before he can even consider attacking, Ichigo is on him again. Picking Zero up with one hand, he tries to bite at his throat, attemting to rip it out. Zero, acting on instinct, shoves his hands at Ichigo's jaws, and holds them open, Ichigo's canine teeth just touching the surface of his throat. After about thirty seconds of this, Ichigo gets tired of trying, and instead throws Zero at the wall again. This time, Zero hits his head. Whiteness flashes in Zero's eyes as he hits the wall. His vision blurs for a moment, before returning to normal. Ichigo charges at the vampire lying on the ground. Zero can't move, he's frozen to the ground, his motor functions shot from the impact of hitting the wall. Zero stares at his attacker, trying to find any way to prevent his own doom. He thinks of none. Zero waits for the end, and makes a silent apology to Yuki for not returning to her. A single tear falls from his eye as he loses all hope of ever seeing his beloved again.
Zero hears a loud yelp and a crash. He looks up to see Ichigo lying on the left side of the room, crumpled in a ball. Zero gasps, as Ichigo shrinks, and the hair covering his body retracts. Ichigo is turning human again. As if the shock and confusion is too much for him, Zero closes his eyes, and loses consciousness.
A young man, looking about sixteen or seventeen, stands over Ichigo's unconscious body. He examines the red haired man, making sure he isn't injured too badly. Just a concussion, nothing he can't handle. The young man directs his gaze to Zero, now knocked out at the other end of the room. He walks over to Zero, and examines him. Pretty banged up, quite a few injuries. He shrugs. "He's a vampire, he'll recover." He says to himself. He bends down to Zero and picks him up, swinging him over his shoulder. "Let's get you home then."
The young man walks out of the dorm, dressed in a leather jacket and a pair of jeans, and a pair of black converse. He thought that the uniform was too much hassle to put on at his time of night. He turns his head to look at Zero. A smile creeps across his face as he noticed his hairstyle. Exactly the same, with the exception of the colour. Where Zero has white hair, he has a very dark shade of blonde, almost brown, but not quite. He walks towards the night dorm, taking his time, not wanting to draw any attention to himself. After a few minutes of walking, he reaches the door of the night dorm. He raises his hand and knocks on the door loudly.
After a few minutes, the young man realises something. It's the night class. They have class right now. He lets out a sigh, and knocks again, just to be safe, not expecting anyone to be in. To his surprise, the door opens, a black haired vampire standing in the doorway. The vampire looks at him, holding Zero.
"Ichigo?" says the vampire. He nods. "Ichigo. I'm sorry. I managed to stop him before he was finished. He has an awful temper."
The vampire smiles. "Well, thank you for saving my friend." The vampire says, reaching out for Zero. The young man hands him to him. The vampire then smiles again. "That was brave of you. Thank you very much. Should you need a favour, simply ask for me. Kaname Kuran." The young man smiles, and bows politely. "Akira Regendorf. It's a pleasure to meet you, Lord Kaname." Kaname nods. "Ah, Regendorf. I know your father. Your family is very well respected. And I can see why, you're so mannerly. Very few non-vampires address me as Lord, and even fewer of your kind do so." "Well, we're not all like Ichigo. Some of us have no problem with vampires. I for one admire you. But, I only came to return your friend. He's pretty injured, so look after him. Goodnight, Lord Kaname." Akira bows and turns to walk away, but stops when he hears Kaname say "I think you'd make a fine Alpha." Akira stops, smiles, and simply says "Thank you." He then starts walking again, back to his dorm. Away from the regal world of vampires, back to the pack from which he came. He takes a deep breath in through his nose, his heightened sense of smell enjoying ever aroma of the night.
Kaname closes the door, and carries Zero upstairs. "You're too reckless Zero. Too curious for your own good. It wouldn't do if you were badly hurt. Think of how upset Yuki will be even from this."
Kaname knocks on Yuki's room door, waiting a minute before it's opened.
"Hello Yuki." He says with a forced smile, as he returns the one she has chosen to her.
Zero opens his eyes, realises he's lying in his bed, and looks at the clock. Two in the morning. He's been asleep for almost twenty four hours. He turns his head to see Yuki sitting on a chair beside him, he eyes red and wet. She had been crying, though she was trying to hide it by wiping her eyes. "You're awake!" Yuki shouts before diving on top of him, hugging him tight. "I was so scared, you've been asleep for a whole day. I thought you might not wake up. Kaname told me you'd be fine, but I was still worried." Yuki tears up again and hugs Zero tighter. "I was so scared..."
Zero wraps his arms around her, trying to comfort her. "You're right, I am okay. Yuki, look at me." Zero gently guides Yuki's gaze to his face, smiling, in a show of happiness that is becoming increasingly common. "I'm fine. I'm here. I'm sorry I went off, but I'm fine now. Please, sweetie," Yuki smiles. She likes it when Zero uses a pet name on her. "Stop crying." Yuki stops crying and hugs onto Zero tight. After a few minutes of them holding each other, Yuki suddenly breaks the hug, and pulls on Zero, making him sit up. She then gets on top of him, her legs spread out around his, sitting facing him. Zero breathes in sharply, not expecting this. "Is she..." Zero thinks to himself, and feels himself start to heat up, and get a little hard. "She, she can't be doing what I think she is...can she?" Zero thinks. Yuki sits on him, their eyes locked, before tilting her head back, exposing her neck. "Drink."
Zero lets out a sigh of both relief and disappointment, before realising what Yuki is asking. "I don't need to feed from you Yuki, I no longer reject the pills." Zero states, confused. Yuki tilts her head back a little more. "But, real blood is better for you. It will heal you quicker. Please, feed from me. I want to help you."
Zero stares at Yuki's neck, her soft skin right in front of her face. His eyes start to glow red, and Yuki sees that showing him her neck is working. "Feed. I want you to. It's okay. Drink from me Zero. Drink."
Zero can no longer resist his bloodlust. He moves his face closer to Yuki's neck, until his lips are touching her skin softly. Yuki lets out a little gasp when she feels his lips. Zero kisses her neck softly before baring his fangs, and pressing them against the delicate skin of her neck. The points touch her flesh, causing her to breathe in sharply, not in pain, in pleasure. Zero pulls back, only for a second, to whisper softly to Yuki.
"I love you, Yuki Cross."
Zero bites into Yuki's neck, blood rushing from it into his mouth. It's so sweet. Zero sucks her blood down, revelling in the feeling of her warm blood flowing down his throat, dancing on his tongue, filling him with her warmth. Yuki moans softly, loving the feeling of Zero's fangs penetrating her flesh. Zero keeps drinking, gorging himself on Yuki's delicious blood. He keeps drinking, losing himself in her perfect red liquid. Yuki doesn't want to stop him, but she knows that he must stop soon, or else he will take too much. Yuki tries to warn him, but all she does is let out a soft moan.
Zero drinks Yuki's blood for another minute, before a little voice in his head tells him to stop. "You'll drain her. Stop now".
Zero pulls his fangs out of Yuki's neck, and breaths heavily, pleasurable. Yuki looks deep into Zero's eyes, breathing sharply, trying to find the words to describe how amazing that felt, before simply whispering "I love you too...Zero Kiryu..." and fainting into his arms. There they lie, in their bed, Zero tired from the blood. He closes his eyes, and holds Yuki close as she sleeps. Zero kisses Yuki on the cheek gently, and then falls asleep, his body not able to handle the pleasure and fulfilment he has gotten from her blood.
There they sleep, the vampire, and the girl who gave him her blood.
As he sleeps, the last drop of blood dripped from his fangs to the back of his throat, causing him to smile in his sleep.
Zero's dreams are of Yuki that night.
