Unloved

Chapter nine: Unwilling

Zero x Yuki

Zero lied in the bathtub. He let the water hit his skin and then the tub. He felt uneasy. So he was now trying to wash away all of his sins. He decided to stand up. He needed strenght and support. He couldn't stand, he felt like falling every time he did. It was as if faith was telling him that he failed. He was discouraged. He quickly finished his shower and entered the room in a towel. He opened the door. He widened his eyes. Infront of him was Yuki, the elderly woman and a young man. The silence was broken by Yuki.

"We thought you had your clothes with you."

Yuki then quickly took his clothes shoved him back in to the washroom and...unwillingly, fell on him. Her cheeks grew red, his heart went crazy as he turned his head. He decided to not look at her until she decided to get off. Which she didn't. She didn't realize that he would be so bothered by this position. She wanted to stay like this. She wanted to stay face to face...chest to chest.

"Zero."

He stayed sislent.

"Zero look at me."

"Get off me first."

"But Zero..."

"Yuki!"

She did as she was told. Zero grabbed his clothes. Zero waited for her to turn around.

"Zero."

"What?"

"You look pretty good in a towel"

Kaname continued to rest. Ruka and Seiren stayed by his side. They did whatever they could to help him. He was treasured by many. They started the search parties without Kaname. Soon, they called out Ruka and only Seiren stayed to take care of Kaname. She sank a small towel in to a bucket of water and placed the towel on his forehead. It cooled him down. Kaname felt very uneasy. He let out a small moan as he grabbed Seiren's hand.

"Kaname..."

"Please stay...Yuki."

Seiren was disspointed but, she was unwilling to leave his side. She placed her other hand on his. So, she let him pretend she was Yuki...for now.

Yuki came out of the washrrom first. She annouced that Zero will be out in a while. She got to know the young man. His name was Numair. He had short black hair, fair skin, and eyes the color of the ocean. He was...captivating. Once his mother left the room, he smiled at Yuki. He got closer to her

"Yuki is it?"

She shyly nodded.

"Do you like ice cream?"

"Sort of...why do you..."

He suddenly got even closer...he was able to lean on her and smell her scent.

"Cocunuts..."

"What?"

"You smell like cocunuts."

Just then, Zero appeared out of the washroom.

"No, she doesn't."

He announced. Numair stared at Zero. He decided to get away from Yuki. Zero sat on Yuki's other side.

"She smells like white plums."

Yuki smiled to herself.

Zero...are you jealous?

Kaname woke up and found Seiren sleeping at the edge of the bed. Both her hands we're holding his. He took the towel of his forehead and stared at it.

Seiren...was she here this whole time?

Kaname thought. Seiren felt him move and opened her eyes. She released his hands but he got ahold of hers. He wondered why she cared about him so.

"Seiren...where the one who was here for me."

"Yes."

Thats mean that I mistook her for Yuki.

"Thank you."

"I'm sure you'd rather have someone else look after you."

"No, I wouldn't. "

"Not even Yuki?"

"Not even Yuki."

He assured her. He was unwilling to release her hands. He didn't know what to call this feeling, but if Seiren would take care of him the same way, he wouldn't mind being sick at all.
