Chapter 2: The Hurtful Past

My vision was blurred with tears as I walked the streets back home. I might've not seen them, but I knew strangers were staring at me, nevertheless, my mind wasn't on them, it was on the images that flooded through my head. Memories from my past, memories that I suppressed for so long, the painful and happy times I'll never get back. My heart ached so much as I walked through the front door. The tears have slowed down by now but the pain increased. I carried myself to my room and slid into bed. My chest felt heavy, my mind felt numb, and my heart... felt everything. With those feelings consuming me, I drifted off to sleep.

~Zero's Dream~

"Zero, I love you", The silky voice I love so much said to me. I've heard him say it so many times but no matter what, I never get used to it. "You're so adorable when you blush like that"

"Shut up, and I love you, too", I whispered. Kaname smiled at me happily.

"That makes me so happy", he said pulling me into a tight hug. We were at the night dorms in his private room.

"Kaname, how long do you think this will last", I said into his chest. My thoughts had wandered to the darkness, the fright of losing Kaname.

"How long will what last?", he asked confused.

"Us!", I said pushing him away quickly with annoyance. He knew exactly what I was asking. " How long will this we have last"

"Forever", Kaname said pulling back closer to him. Backward, he walked me to the couch before sitting me down on his lap. "until we die"

"I wish." I said in a sad tone. "but I'm a hunter and you're a Vampire, and not no ordinary one, a pureblood. Our love isn't only forbidden but a si... "

"That's not true, Zero", Kaname said angrily." Our love is proof humans and Vampires can get along. That change is possible. It's not a sin because some old geezers said so"

" No, it's not...it's because our parents, grandparents, and ancestors before us said so. Kaname, you're right about us being an example of what you're trying to create, in the vampire community, but in the hunter world, I'm not that important. I might as well disappear from the face of the earth",

"That's not funny, Zero", he said in a serious tone. He seemed so pained by what I'd said. "Don't ever say that. I don't know what I would do if you left me here, alone."

"Calm down, I want just up and leave you. It was just a thought", I said reassuringly.

"A thought I never want you to say nor think again", Kaname said sternly.

"...", I wrapped my hands around his neck."I promise I won't up and leave you no matter what. I mean how could I, I'm so in love with you death couldn't even take me away from you."

" I feel the same way, so when you say things like that it really scares me, Zero. I can't picture you out of my life or me out of yours. I belong to you and you to me."

"We belong together", I added before kissing him. "I'm sorry, Kaname"

"Zero, I love you so much that it hurts to think of myself without you", Kaname said.

"But what about Yuuki", I whispered, hating the way her presence affected me, even when she's not here. This sweet moment I'm alone with Kaname, she can still make it bitter.

"I...I think if I had to choose between you and Yuuki it would be...", he paused and leaned his head onto my chest. "I think it would be...you."

I froze.

Me!? He would choose me over Yuuki. Yuuki his one and only princess. He would choose the Knight to love over the princess.

I can feel it. He really WOULD choose me over HER.

Tears began to form in my eye's but Kaname hadn't noticed, yet. I took hold of both sides of his face and lifted it up so he would be eye to eye level with me.

"I can hear you, I can hear you pleading me to stay by your side forever. I can feel your love flowing through our touch, wanting me, needing me, loving me", I said kissing him on the lips. "Kaname, I love you so so much. I don't care about anything when I'm with you."

This memory was my favorite amongst all the rest. He said he would choose me, and I believed him. Back then I was naive, believed every word he spoke to me. I love this memory. I hate this memory. I love this memory. The irony of our love, our bittersweet love.

~End of Zero's Dream~

"Kaien, Why didn't you tell me Kaname and Yuuki were coming, yesterday", I asked with venom in my words when I spoke her name.

I had woken up an hour ago. It was around 5:30 pm and I had just finished cleaning dishes from our quick dinner.

"Because I knew you would disappear at the last minute if I had", He said sitting on the couch in the living room reading a book with the title 'Killing Silently'. I could guess what the title meant but I'm afraid I'd be right.

"I could have left when I said was going to 'get dressed'", I replied.

"I didn't think you would once you saw Kaname", he said without looking up.

"Why not", I said offended. Do you think Kaname has such a grip on me that I can't leave him the way he left...me? I don't just up and do what Kaname would like...anymore.

"Because you still love him", he said looking at me this time with an 'I wish you would deny it so I can smack you in the head' face.

Not wanting to get into that I turned to exit the room.

"And he still loves you", He said making me pause at the doorway. I huffed at his comment.

"Yeah, and that's why he chose her over me", I said sadly as I walked out. "Why is my life filled with complete chaos, pain, betrayal, so much betrayal."

Guess I should take a shower and then get dressed then go...go where? It is a Saturday.

A shower later and two hours of walking around town, blindly lost in thought, I was ready to go back home, but then I spotted Kaname, the man I hated yet loved, walking up towards me a couple blocks away. Fast. For some reason, the thought of running crossed my mind but left as fast as it came.

"Zero.", He said a block away. An ordinary human being wouldn't have heard, but my vamp hearing caught his words. "Come here", he spoke. I could have sworn I heard the anger in there somewhere.

The same thought of running came across my mind again but instead of leaving like last time it put my body in action. I spun around and bolted with every ounce of vampire speed I could muster.

'Run and don't look back', My instincts told me. But because I'm me I ignored the feeling and did what I shouldn't have. The first thing my eyes caught was a blur of blackness chasing me.

What the fuck?!

I'm not known for fear. Even before my parents died fear was never a word I spoke. After my parents died I banished the word fear from my dictionary. No vampire or being would be able to raise such a terrible emotion within me, yet this blur of a shadow that was chasing me brought every bit of fear, I never felt, at this moment. My body and mind shut down on me. No more running, thinking, analyzing, or anything else that could get me out of this situation.

The blur of a human shaped shadow had cornered me in a dead end alley. It approached me, slowly, a couple inches from my face. The shadow wasn't giving off any threatening aura that could cost me my life but an aura that said 'If you try anything the next thing you'll see is black'.

"You have a bad habit of running away from problems, Zero", The shadow said.

I-I know that voice. That soothing alluring voice.

"K-Kaname?", I said questioningly, finding my voice in the process. As if on cue the shadow slid down to the ground, revealing an irritated pureblood in its place.

"We need to talk", assuming I wasn't going to object, which I wasn't, mainly because I was too afraid that shadow thing will come back, he took me by my arm and pulled me to his chest. "Close your eyes."

For a split second my feet felt like they were off the ground and in the air. Then it felt as if I were... well, everywhere. As if I was in bits in pieces, but then I reconnected back to the ground.

"You can re-open them now", he said. I did as I was instructed to do. The scenery I'd seen before disappeared and a chestnut brown wooden room was revealed.

A cream couch with reddish-brown flower petals and dark green stems swiveled around it sat a couple feet away from a wide window, and between the couch and window set a deep chocolate brown coffee table. On the right side of the couch was a warm fire set ablaze inside a fireplace and in front of that fireplace, there were two brown chairs facing the fire. To the left of the couch is where Kaname and I stood, and behind us was a deep chocolate door.

I could have easily escaped but I highly doubt Kaname would have let me get far.

Looking out through the wide window I could clearly see we were on the outskirts of town. The town glowed vibrantly down a forest covered hill.

"Sit", Kaname said nodding to the chair next to the one he took by the fireplace. Being obedient again I did as I was told and sat. "I guess you won't be telling me what happened between you and Yuuki last night?"

I shook my head 'no'.

"Didn't think so.", Grabbing a glass on the small chocolate table between the two chairs, he popped two blood tablets into the clear water. Kaname brought it to his perfect soft lips and took two gulps. The shadow of the flames danced across his face, as well as mine. It was silent around us unless you count the crackling of the fire, but I kinda enjoyed it. The entire scenery reminded me of the past and memories began to flood back. I didn't like that, not after how hard I've been pushing them back all these years. "Why were you..."

"What do you want", I blurted, with confidence, or maybe more so irritation. "I know we didn't just stumble into one another, you were looking for me."

"I went to Kaien's dorm to see if you were there, but he told me you left a while ago, and with no particular destination, so I went to the library where you would go when you needed peace and quiet, but the librarian said you hadn't come today. Next, I checked the park you love to sit at with me" He said putting emphasis on the part 'with me', but that only pissed me off more. " but you weren't there, either. After around that time I was officially pissed, mainly because I thought you were avoiding me, and by the way, you ran earlier, I believe I'm correct", He said staring at me.

"I-I wasn't avoiding you", I said turning from him, watching the beautiful flame dance.

"Liar", He replied in a whispered tone.

"I'm telling the truth", I said calming myself. "I was just walking around. I never actually went anywhere, I was just lost in thought"

"What were you thinking about? About not wanting to run into me again?"

"I wasn't avoiding you", I said offended as I whipped my head back to him. "I was thinking about the times when we were together"

Kaname looked shocked at first before his face softened into a small smile.

"Zero", he spoke softly.

"No, don't zero me.", I said standing up.

"What should I call you, then? Kiryu?", He said teasingly and seductively.

"Yes-No-I mean Yes, but not in that tone", I answered finally.

"What tone? I'm talking as I usually do", He stood up and moved near me, but I stepped back.

"No, you're not. You're using the tone that's for your lover", I said a bit loud.

"You mean the one I use for you. The one I use for someone I love dearly. The voice I use when I care for you and only you.", He said moving closer to me.

I moved back the same amount of space he came until my back hit a wall as if the wall itself was saying 'Don't run from what you want'. Kaname stepped in front of me, so close I could smell his mint-scented breath. He put his hands on both sides of my face, preventing any movements.

"The voice you love so much", he whispered. I had to use every part of myself not to kiss him right then. His rose scented aroma was practically suffocating me, yet I enjoyed it so much.

"No. The voice you would use for Yuuki", I said sadly. The moment it came out I regretted it. I was with Kaname, and it was just the two of us, but she still somehow prohibited me from actually being with him. It was like some invisible wall had been put up between the two of us. I now realize it's always been there. She's always been the main issue in my life.

"You're not denying you love my voice", he said ignoring my comment about Yuuki. I was happy he did, but also sadden by it. I guess I was hoping he'd tell me 'I only use this voice for you, Zero, My Love' like in the past.

"And You're not denying you use that voice for Yuuki", I shot back intensely.

"Yuuki? Stop trying to bring Yuuki into this conversation Zero.", He said firmly.

"Why not? Shouldn't we? Yuuki is your wife, shouldn't she know where you are right now?", I said low. It was official, my jealousy was pouring out, and quickly at that. I couldn't hold all the emotions about "her" anymore. I wanted Kaname, every single inch of him, all bits and pieces of his heart.

"Yes, she should, but why should I let her know if she's keeping secrets from me", he said. "When you're keeping secrets from me."

He said the ending in a hurt tone, but I still couldn't stop my jealousy from leaking out even though he needs reassuring that he can trust me.

"Marriage doesn't work like that, Kaname, and you know that. I should go", I said attempting to push him away. "Move"

"Not a chance", he said pushing me back to the wall, who was know saying 'stop trying to push when you want to pull'.

I seriously hate this wall now.

"Kuran, move", I said using his surname to show I wasn't playing, In fact, I never was. I was hurting deeply now. I felt like if this lasted any longer I'd cry into his arms. I'd hold him and never let him leave again. But I can't do that now, not now. It's too much at once.

"Zero, do you love my voice so much it makes you unable to fight me", he whispered into my ear.

"Stop Kana-Kuran",

"Not unless you admit you want and need me", he whispered more. There were hints of pleading in his tone. He wanted me to just love him like I want him to just love me, and with that, the overwhelming jealousy diffused. That one small plea can stop my storming emotions.

"Promise?", I asked giving in.

"Promise.", he answered. In the back of my mind, a little voice said 'he's lying', but I paid no mind to it. I knew no matter how this played out, it would end with my feelings on my sleeve.

"I-I...I love your voice. I love you, and you already know this. I told you a thousand times when we were together, so what makes you think one year could ever be enough time to just stop loving you. What makes you think I could even forget you", I said in small tone looking at the light brown wooden floor.

"Then kiss me and steal me", my heart leaped at his offer. I've dreamt him saying that this past year. Different scenarios. Different times... but to actually hear him tell me.

Steal Kaname from Yuuki? Take him as my own? I hate Yuuki but I'm not like that. I wouldn't do something like that because...because Yuuki did it. I shouldn't do something like that because I would seem more like Yuuki than myself. I couldn't do that because I'm Zero, Zero Kiryu. Oh, but I so want Kaname.

"Just for the night", breathesKaname added.

Just for tonight? Just this one time? But...Yuuki. But...I loved Kaname first. I sound like a child when I put it like that, and this is not a child's decision. I love Kaname, so one night...No! I would ruin their marriage! I...would ruin Kaname's marriage! No...I would ruin Yuuki's marriage. As much as I love that thought that's still not how I am.

"Ah~", My voice came out. I hadn't noticed Kaname wasn't waiting for an answer. Deep down, he already knew my answer, and deep down, I already knew too. "W-What are you doing?'

"Well, You were taking forever to give me a verbal answer so now I'm looking for one from your body, a physical answer.", he spoke sucking on my neck.

"No, stoahh~", Kaname slid one of his hands up my shirt and rubbed over one of my nipples.

"Oh, and before we lose our minds in pleasure let me correct what you said about Yuuki. She's not my wife but my fiance, so if you give the word I won't marry her", he said looking me in my eyes.

"Liar", I spoke turning away from his gaze, it read seriousness and determination to keep his word. "You would never hurt her feelings in that way"

"I love you, Zero, I always have and I always will", he whispered pulling my head back towards his amazing ruby eyes that spoke love and need. My heart twisted. I'm not sure what it is. Happiness or Anger.

"Then why did you chose her?", I heard myself say. Was that sadness I heard?

"if I told you, you would disappear and would never return", he said running his hand through my silver hair.

"Is it because you love her? More than me?", I said holding back any signs of wanting to cry.

"No...It's because I love you so much it scares me, and not in a way of being with you."

"Then what way", I said. I could swear I heard fright in my voice. No, not fright...need. I needed to know why Kaname did what he did? Why did he leave me? Why did he choose Yuuki?

"In a way of losing you", he said. "Losing you to death"

"I wasn't going to... hmmm", Kaname somehow managed to slide his hand down my pants and grab my shaft.

"No more talking, Zero. In this moment I want it to be just us. I want to love you, tonight.", he said pulling my shirt up and licked my nipple.

"Ahhh~, b-but Yuuki-"

"Is in Paris. She flew there to go shopping and won't be back til tomorrow. So just let me love you."

Stopping to look at me for permission, he looked into my eyes. "I just want you, Zero. To love just you." I slowly nodded.

"Thank you", he said continuing.

Kaname pulled my shirt over my head, trying to increase the skin contact. I slammed our lips back together drawing Kaname's tongue into my mouth. After a battle of our tongues trying to dominate each other, Kaname winning, I finally began to want more.

I released Kaname's mouth from my own to suck in a deep breath but was startled by the hands that began to unbutton my jeans. Kaname popped them open and slide them off me, my underwear, too. I should have felt exposed but all I felt was a sensation of need and rightness. Kaname backed away from me to shed his own clothes. Once finished I threw myself at him into a passionate needy kiss. The cabin air began to heat up more and more as the seconds of us being together increased. The still raging fire dancing was no help either.

Kaname lifted me off the ground by my ass and put my back against the wall. I wrapped my legs around his waist and my arms around his neck.

"Ahhh, w-when did yo~Ahh~", I muttered.

Unsure of when Kaname coated his fingers he stuck one up my ass and began to thrust.

"Fuck~", I moaned out.

"Zero, you feel tighter than when you were a virgin. How is that possible?", Kaname whispered into my ear.

"It's nahhh~...You'raa imaaagining iiiih", I managed to get out.

"Zero", he murmured as he stuck another finger in. "did you miss me?"

"Ahh~ Y-Yes, I missed you so much, Kaname", I said feeling tears sting the back of my eye's.

"How much?"

"So much it hurt to think about you", I said out of breath. "So much I felt like I was dying"

"I'm so sorry, Zero, I love you. I love you more than anything in the world. I love you", he whispered, sticking his second finger in.

"I love you, Kaname. I love you more than you realize. I love you more than possible.", I said gripping him tighter as he went deeper into me.

"I know, I know, Zero.", he said finally adding the third finger. Kaname searched for my prostate, and found it quickly, mainly from memory.

"...", As the pleasure hit me, my mouth flew open in a silent scream. I shook with ecstasy. "F-fuck.."

"Is that a request", Kaname asked as his lips twisted into a seductive smirk.

"And if it was", I replied out of breath.

"I'd be happy to grant your wish". he whispered as he pressed small kisses onto my neck.

"In that case...", I said pulling away looking straight into his eyes. "It was"

Kaname huffed and pulled his fingers out of my ass. I whined at the loss but it was gone right away as Kaname slammed his shaft into my anus hitting my prostate in the process. I opened my mouth in an attempt to yell but nothing came out. Instead, Kaname's mouth connected with mine.

"hmmm...mmmh", I moaned into his mouth as he ravished mine.

Kaname thrust into me multiple times, hitting my prostate every time, sending me into a frenzy of shivers. Unlatching my mouth Kaname moved down to my neck, kissing, licking, and teasing my skin. My head was spinning from the pleasure he brought to me. Every breath that came left out ragged.

I huffed out. "More, I want more"

"Asking for more already, I see", Kaname said into my neck. How can he sound so composed still?

"Shut up and fuck me already", I said scratching the wall behind me, trying to find anything to hold on to.

"Okay, My love", he said just before he pulled out of me.

"W-What are you doing?", I asked as he put me down. Kaname walked over to the couch, facing the wide window, and sat down. He motioned for me to 'come here'. I slowly went over to him curious to where this was leading. Kaname grabbed my hand and pulled me to him. My chest was near his, my face was next to his. I had a knee between his legs while my other leg hangs off the couch.

"Ride me.", Kaname said before kissing me passionately.

"No way, I never even did that when we were together", I protested as my face heated up. "I can't do that."

"Guess you don't want it that bad. I guess you don't want ME that bad", He said letting me go.

"No, I do", I said in a panic. "I just..."

"I should leave if I'm not wanted", Kaname said pushing me off and beginning to stand up.

"No, don't go", I said pushing him back down. I grabbed his shaft and held it up as I slid down on it. Feeling it go up me sent shivers all over my body. My breath caught in my mouth as I stopped to adjust. I moaned as I slid down the rest of the way to the hilt. Kaname grabbed onto me and pulled me to him.

"Zero", Kaname whispered still holding me.

"...", I said nothing as I began to move up and down on his shaft.

"Ahhh~Zero, not so fast", Kaname said grabbing my hips to slow me down."I want to enjoy this moment. I want to enjoy you"

"Nnh, no, it feels to good, c-can't", I said grabbing his hands on my hips.

"Zero, please, all I have is this moment with you", Kaname breathe in my ear. "Let me remember it all"

"...", I understood him. I understood what he wanted but I haven't felt all of Kaname in so long. The longing for him has escaped. "Kaname, I just...can't"

"Dammit", Kaname shouted as he began to push me down on his shaft harder. Ever thrust got us closer to release.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry", I whined out as I came over Kaname's and I torso. After one more thrust, Kaname came inside of me. Time passed of long uneven breathing. I just sat there still on Kaname enjoying his aroma of roses. I felt over his torso feeling every indent of his muscles.

"I miss this", I said lifting up. Kaname's shaft slid out, going limp. I sat next to him resting my head on his arm. Kaname took the quilt off the back of the couch and put it around us.

"I missed everything we did", he replied. "I really missed you, Zero"

" I missed you more, Kaname", I huffed.

"But?"

"But you still hurt me", I stated not really wanting to go over the issue after such bliss.

"I know, and I'm so sorry for doing it..."

"and you won't tell me why", I cut him off.

"I...I'm sorry"

"You're always sorry", I looked up to him. "but I still love you"

He smiled down at me. In his eyes, I could see he really meant it, about being sorry but I also saw regret, guilt, and pain. It made me feel terrible. Kaname couldn't fully tell me how he felt and he hid it, but I was doing the same thing to him about Yuuki.

What's wrong, Kana? We use to share each other's pain and burden. What happened to us?

"Zero?", Kaname said stern.

"Yeah?", I questioned unsure of when his attitude changed.

"When was the last time you fed.", he asked pushing me away to get a clear view of me.

I turned away from him. I wasn't aware of my eye color or hunger until now. Being this close to Kaname after so long has its effects.

"How long? Not since we split, right?", He pushed.

"No. When you left I stopped feeding for only two weeks before remembering I promised to, but I only drink blood once a day now", I confused. There was no use lying to him. Without him knowing my reason for hating Yuki AND trying to lie to him, it'll only push whatever we have now over the edge of a cliff.

"That's too low", he said putting his hands on both sides of my face so I would face him.

"I know...", My eyes flashed for a split second but I know Kaname still noticed it.

"And I heard you've been doing stupid jobs that could get you killed in a matter of seconds..."

"I was hurting!", I yelled pushing his hands away. "Every day was torture, death itself. Dying would have ended it all"

"Zero..."

"But I still had a little hope you would come for me, that's why I'm still alive today", I whispered.

Kaname pulled me into his arms and held me there. He pushed my head into his neck.

"Drink", he ordered me. My eyes were now fully red with complete blood lust, need, and want, but this time, it wasn't for Kaname himself, but what flowed underneath his skin, blood. I use to feed on Kaname every day and just remembering the taste from then makes me feel as though I'll lose myself now. Even though I hadn't fed from Kaname in so long I knew I had to keep control.

I licked Kaname's neck preparing it. Each time my tongue pressed up against his skin I felt his veins throb, his heart pushing more blood into them. Kaname was just as eager as I was. He wanted this just as bad. During the time Kaname and I were together we use to bite each other during sex, the bond we have turned any pain we applied to each other into pleasure. Once prepared I extended my fangs and sunk them into his neck. The sound of his skin breaking rang through my ears, I was aroused by it, the familiarity. The sound was nothing but a distant memory once his blood rushed into my mouth. A rich flavor. Tangy. Like fine perfect elegant wine.

I lost myself in the moment, trying to savor the taste, unknown to when I'll ever get another chance as this one. Immediately my senses were heightening unimaginable. My fangs grew sharper and dug deeper into him. I was losing control, wanting more of him, and his pure blood. I suppressed the urge and took three last gulps. Even though every cell in my body told me to finish drinking that pure magnificent blood, I still retracted my fangs and sealed the two puncture wounds with my saliva.

"Thank..." I was cut off by Kaname hugging me so tight.

"I love you, Zero. I love you. I love you. I love you", Kaname repeated that three-word sentence until both of us fell asleep.

I don't know how long I slept but I woke to the feel of eyes boring into me. It was as if those eyes were setting me aflame.

Kaname was under me faced up on the couch as I laid down on his chest. I sat up and looked out the window. Through the trees, I could make out a small figure up in a tree with red glowing eyes. I got off of Kaname, got dressed, and left out the room quietly.

Outside the door sat more forest but a small pebbled path lead me to the front of the small cabin were the wide window I was looking out earlier was. I took one last look inside of the cabin and seen Kaname still asleep on the couch. The same way I left him. I turned back around to where I saw that small figure and walked down that said direction. The pebbled path leads to a bridge, like the one at Cross Academy. I crossed the bridge and took the rest of the path to a cross section of two different paths. One lead to the city while the other deeper into the forest, I chose the forest path. After at least five more minutes of walking, a heard a voice.

"Did you like your time with him?", It said to me.

"I thought it was weird he was out of your sight", I said back.

"Hmph, that's just like you, Zero. You suspect everything. You analyze everyone. You dig deep to uncover every secret hidden from others. Isn't that how you found out about mine. My little dirty secret"

"Yeah, and you're just really crappy when it comes to hiding your emotions. Actually hiding anything at that. I remember you use to suck when you tried to hide anything from me.", I said in a taunting voice.

"I remember you never being able to mind your own business", it said annoyed.

"We both had that quality", I said.

"Had?", it said.

"Have", I said correcting myself. "Why are you here?"

" I wanted to make sure you knew I was letting you have this night with him", Annoyance flickered through me.

Letting?! She's acting like I need her permission to sleep with Kaname. She acts like she owns him.

"Don't get ahead of yourself", I said.

"Get ahead of myself? What do you mean?', she said. I knew there was a smile plastered across her face because she knew she was getting under my skin.

"Don't act like you own him. Kaname could have chosen me, he loves me more", I said. I heard a low growl. "And you know this. You hate me because he loves me more."

"Watch yourself, Zero", She said. "I could kill you right now"

"No, you can't, because if you did you would risk Kaname hating you. You would risk being exposed as an insane Pureblood. You would risk the very little freedom you have, now", I said realizing all this myself.

She can't hurt me. I'm bonded to Kaname and everyone knows that rather they ignore that fact or not. If anyone tries to kill me that would be putting a target on their own back. Not only will they have Kaname and his vampires to deal with but an entire hunter race to deal with, too. I can't believe I'm just realizing this now.

"You should go home", I said with more confidence in my tone. "You've been beaten, Yuuki"

She exited the shadows glaring at me. It wouldn't take a genius to know what she was thinking, "I'll Kill you Zero".

"Don't think too highly of yourself, Zero", she said. "I'll break you. I'll erase you from him. One day he's not going to want anything to do with you"

"You're wrong", I interrupted. "Kaname and I are fated, our bond goes deeper than anyone else's in the history of both Vampire and Hunter. Go home, Yuuki, because I'm no longer that broken hearted boy that was left behind. I'm a hunter, vampire, and the true spouse of Kaname Kuran, and you, Yuuki Kuran, is a dead nothing"

I could see the complete shock and anger in Yuuki's eyes, but she knew I was correct. She slowly turned away and began to walk down the path before stopping.

"I won't lose to you", She whispered.

"And I won't lose to you", I said turning around. I left her standing there, walking back to the only one who lit up my world. Inside and out. Kaname Kuran
