Unloved

Chapter ten: Unworthy

Zero x Yuki

It was soon time to sleep. Yuki made herself comfortable on the bed. She made sure to leave half the bed free for Zero. Zero was washing dishes. To not be a burden, he decided to help around the house. He would be up soon. Yuki impatiently waited. She longed to lie beside Zero. She loved him...so much. Her hidden feelings have awakened but, she's afriad that, maybe, she might be too late. Because he doesn't seem to be able to return her feelings for him. Lost in her thoughts, Yuki didn't hear Zero enter the room. He closed the door and turned to Yuki. He watched her sleep as he layed a mat on the floor. Zero was to modest. He would not sleep with Yuki. He would not harm her. Yuki heard noise so, she quickly opened her eyes and stared at Zero who layed on the floor.

"You're going to stay down there."

"Yes."

"Aren't you cold?"

"Yes."

"Why don't you come up here?"

Yuki asked him as she lifted the covers. Zero kept his eyes on her. She suggested he sleep beside her...he desired it more than anything. But he hesitated. For he thought that him loving her would result to her destruction. No one would accept their relantionship.

"You...wouldn't mind?"

"No, I want you be my side."

He got off the floor and went on the bed. He slid his body under the covers. He faced Yuki. He closed his eyes as Yuki patted his head.

Poor Zero, he must've been so cold and lonely in that cell. It's all my fault, I'm sorry Zero. I really am...unworthy of you.

Tonight, Kaname would not sleep soundly. Yuki's face haunted his every motion. Mother nature wasn't fond of him either as it soon started to rain. The sky roared. It was as if it was angry...maybe even furious. The branches from the trees broke down because of the strong gusts of wind. The window looked like it was about to break. Kaname covered his ears with his hands. He was...for once in his life...frightened. He jumped out of the bed as he heard a knock on his door.

"Who...who is it?"

He nervously asked. He didn't hear an answer. The voice was too quiet. He then saw the door slide open. His eyesight was weak in the dark. He couldn't make out who it was. But, juging by the shape, it was a woman. Kaname saw her approach him and sit beside him. He saw her lips moving but, he did hear a word of what she had said. This fear made his ears numb.

"Kaname-senpai! Kaname-senpai! Are you alright?!"

He still hadn't recodnized her as she yelled at him. Her worried voice was...distracting. It was something he had never heard before. She suddenly slapped him across his face and he finally came to his senses.

"Seiren?"

Her eyes filled with tears as she desperately nodded. He wrapped his arms around her and patted her head.

"Don't...don't cry."

Seiren didn't listen.

"Please stop, I am unworthy of your tears, of your worry..."

A silence then took over. The rain stopped. The thunder ceased itself. The big gust of wind where now, merely a breeze. The weather had calmed down.

"Do you really think so?"

"Huh?"

"Do you really think that I'd waste my time taking care of an unworthy person?"

Kaname didn't have the heart to answer.

"When I saw you...just before...you looked so frightened. I was so afraid that...I might lose you..."

"Seiren, why do you care so much? Why are always protecting me? What...what am I to you?"

That question was something Seiren could not yet answer. For, she herself, did not know why. So she said something so very...vague.

"Isn't it obvious?"

"It is?"

"Kaname, you are my most precious person"

Numair hurried to the guest room. He had to see Yuki. He had a feeling that she was not safe with Zero. There was something about him that was just...inhuman. Little did he know that Zero was the one who was not safe. Numair arrived in front of the guest room and peeked through the door. He saw Zero and Yuki lying on the bed. Zero kept his eyes open and strared at the sleeping Yuki. But, alas, he remained sleepless. He got out of bed and took a book out of the shelf. He flipped the pages and only looked at the pictures. The book didn't seem that interesting. Then, the corner of a page hit his finger and gave him a paper cut. Yuki then quickly awoke. She recodnized this smell imediately.

Zero's blood.

Zero knew she was awake. He gasped in fear. Yuki's eyes grew red as her fangs came out. She walked towards Zero. He took a step back.

"Yuki, it's just a papercut I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Yuki had grabbed his hand and bitten it. Numair watched in astonishement. He quickly closed the door. He was wrong. The one who was inhuman was...not Zero...but Yuki.

"Yuki is a vampire."
