Unloved

Chapter twenty-five: Unprotective

Zero x Yuki

Zero caught himself day dreaming during work. He was struggling to concentrate on reparing a hole in the wall. He had stopped for a while to stare at it as his mind drifted in to thoughts...thoughts of Yuki. He probably swore he'd never become like this; like one of those happy couples who aren't afraid of showing public display of affection, who go around everywhere holding hands and smiling and...who thought of no one else but their significant other. But...he did become one. Slowly, without knowing, being unprotective of himself, he just became so in love with...Yuki.

"Dude, I'm not going to pay you if you don't do your job."

Zero heard as he turned to see Kevin. His arms crossed around his chest and his foot tapping the floor, he waited for Zero to say something.

"Sorry."

Kevin placed a hand on Zero's shoulder.

"You know Zero, you overworked yourself for weeks. I think...if you're so tired...I could give you a vacation."

Kevin's suggestion brightened Zero's mood. He raised his head and stared at Kevin with hope in his eyes. He thought about the many things he could do on his vacation. He could relax...get away from everything. He could go to places, like a hot spring. That was it...he wanted to go to the hot springs.

"Is it really ok?"

Zero asked. Kevin nodded. Zero smiled as his boss went back to the crane. Zero couldn't wait to get home and tell Yuki about this trip.


It had been weeks since Kaname had talked to Seiren. He'd figure he'd give her time to think. But, if she where to truly break his heart...over something...something so...stupid. Kaname fixed himself in the mirror, getting ready was taking forever. He very much hated getting up everyday and not getting the chance to give Seiren a simple hello. He then heard a knock on his door.

Who would want to see me at 7 am?

He thought as he walked towards his door. He opened it with his tooth brush still stuck in his mouth, his hair a complete mess and, in his black pyjama's

"Seiren?"

He said, in shock as he quickly fixed his shirt.

"That's a nice look you have going on...Kaname."

Hearing his name from her voice woke him up. He let her in as he wipped his mouth and placed his toothbrush away.

"Why did you come here?"

He asked, she took a seat on his bed.

"Sit."

She ordered as she tapped the bed. Kaname did as he was told.

"Kaname...tell me what you really want."

She started.

"What I really want, like right now?"

He asked, just to be clarified.

"Yes, right now, right this second."

He didn't hesitate.

"I would want you to forgive me."

Seiren sighed.

"I meant something you can do. Not me."

Kaname didn't hesitate again.

"I'd ask you what I can do so you could forgive me."

Seiren slapped her forehead, Kaname didn't get it at all.

"Fine then, ask me."

"What can I do so you'll forgive me?"

"Make me a promise."

"A promise? What kind of promise?"

"Promise me that...that no matter what...even if Yuki comes back, you have to promise me that...you'll never leave me."

He placed a hand on her head. He could see how hard this was for her. She looked like she was on the verge of crying.

"I promise"


Zero got home, Yuki was already there. He passed by quickly and said a quick hello as he changed in to his home clothes and freshened up. He then ran back to the kitchen. Yuki stared at him as she stood in the kitchen. She whore a yellow apron over her usual clothes as she cooked. She took her spoon and put it away so she could talk to Zero.

"Why are you in such a hurry?"

She asked. He sat down at the dinner table.

"My boss, he gave me a vacation."

He nervously said.

"That's good."

Yuki responded.

"I was hoping to go to the hot springs...with you."

Yuki droped her frying pan. Zero ran to her as they both picked it up. Yuki's mind went through millions of diffrent thoughts as she nervously thought about being at the hot springs...neaked...in hot water...with Zero. What in the world was he thinking?

"We can go somewhere else if you...don't want to."

He suggested. Yuki raised her head.

"No, the hot springs are fine, you just surprised me."

"Oh ok, will your boss let you take a vacation?"

"Probably, he just says yes as long as it's a woman."

Zero...growled as he placed his arm around Yuki's shoulder.

"Don't forget, you are my...woman."

Author's note: I'm so tired, it's like 12 am and like the new chapter of VK still doesn't tell us if Zero kills like anyone. He says he wants to get rid of ALL of the purebloods, the book is so messed up, if anyone read it, you know what I mean.
