Unloved
Chapter twenty-six: Unknowing
Zero x Yuki
"Kain, I think we should resume our search."
Akatsuki Kain was indeed shocked by this decision. He watched Ruka continue to pack her things so they could move their search futher. Except, she wanted to resume. Kain didn't get her, not at all, she's the one who wanted to look for the runaways, and he had blindly followed her all the way here. Now, she wanted to stop.
"Why?"
Kain asked.
"Don't you think...I don't know...I guess it's just..."
She didn't know how to tell him the fact that it was getting just to awkward to be with this man...whom she had shared a night with.
"Don't give up."
He advised, placing a hand on her shoulder. He looked in to her eyes, still trying to figure her out.
"Can you take a few steps back?"
She asked, sounding like she would cry. He went back to packing his things as Ruka tried to calm herself.
Yuki came out of the office, exhausted. Her legs dragging her to the elavator accompagnied by the three friends she had made at work, Shemiko, Ayame and Mei. The four sum rested their backs and waited until they got to the ground floor.
"I feel so tired."
Mei stated as everyone else started agreeing.
"We worked on our break too, just to get the files ready."
Yuki continued.
"Who knew so much work would be asked to do?"
Ayame complained, all three then stared at Shemiko and waited for her to say a few words of wisdom, like she always did.
"I'm used to it."
She told. Shemiko had been working here longer than the others. Everyone else kind of admire her dedication and hard worker quality. The bell rang as they arrived on the ground floor. They walked to the front door when...they saw a silhouette of a man standing infront of the door. Yuki checked to see if it was who she thought it was. She ran towards him, her friends trailing behind her.
"Yuki where are you going?"
They all yelled.
"Zero!"
She yelled stepping out of her building and staring at her boyfriend in confusion.
"Yuki, you're out of work late. I thought you said you got off early today."
Zero said.
"I had more files today, sorry."
She apologized and gazed at the concrete floor. Zero couldn't stand to see her sad face.
"What are you doing here anyway?"
Yuki asked him.
"I just wanted to pick you up."
She didn't realize how much he was able to do for her. How much he would do for her. He would do anything for her. Yuki quietly wrapped her arms around Zero. They then left together as she waved goodbye to her friends.
Kain and Ruka had left the motel. They didn't speak to eachother at all. Thoughts of confusion consumed them. But they couldn't bring themselves to say anything. It was too awkward. Ruka desperately glanced at Kain. Bad idea. She quickly turned away. She could feel her cheeks getting warmer. She was blushing.
He looked so down.
She thought. Regreting the fact that she got angry at him just a few moments ago. Right now, they where walking along a road the motel owner had pointed out. He said it went to a city close to here. Once they got in to the city. They'd decide to either find a way back home or find Zero and Yuki. Or, maybe, they could make another choice? And maybe, just maybe, in the back of their heads, they where both thinking the same thing. Making the same mistake Zero and Yuki had made; running away from their problems instead of facing them.
"What's you descision?"
Kain asked, as he ceased his feet from walking. Ruka stopped a few steps after him.
"..."
Not a word came out of her mouth.
"Ruka, answer me."
He ordered.
"..."
"Why won't you say anything?"
"I-I don't know w-what to s-say..."
She nervously responded. He walked towards her, patting her back in circular motions. Calming her down.
"If you want, we can leave all this."
He started.
"H-How?"
She asked, as a few tears escaped from her eyes.
"We can runaway."
"You'd d-do that?"
He took a breath.
"Yes, I'd do anything so you will stop crying."
"Home sweet home!"
Yuki exclaimed as she and Zero arrived at their residence. Now it had furniture too. It was more pleasant to be around. Zero kicked off his shoes in diffrent directions and sank in to the couch. Yuki glared at him.
"Zero! At least put your shoes in it's rightful place."
Yuki scolded, placing his shoes on the rack they had both. She did the same with her own and walked towards Zero.
"Did you hear me?"
She asked, obviously irritated.
"Yes mom."
He said, as he rolled his eyes.
"I am not your mo-"
Just as she was about to continued scolding him, Zero pulled her on to his lap. Yuki raised her head and was about to angerly get up when he placed his elbows on her back.
"Ow! Zero! Let me off!"
She yelled.
"Not a chance."
He bluntly said, keeping his elbows there.
"Zero!"
"Yuki! See what if all screamed like that? Would'nt it be abnormal."
He was mocking her, she pushed him off. Her feelings where hurt. Even if she was his girlfriend, she was first, and far most; a girl. A sensitive one. Aren't they all in some way? Zero saw her walk away, looking down. He turned the t.v off.
"Yuki..."
He slowly said.
"I'm not abnormal."
She pouted, he walked a few steps closer to her.
"I didn't mean to hurt you."
He admitted.
"Well you did."
"I know, I'm sorry."
"Sorry doesn't cut it."
"Then, what can I do?"
Yuki turned around, tears filling her eyes.
"Why don't you just figure it out?!"
She walked upstairs. Leaving Zero alone with his thoughts.
It finally happenned, our first fight.
He realized, burrying his face in his hands. Hearing Yuki sob upstairs. He didn't know what to do.
Author's note: I'm sooooooooooooo sorry, I know this fic hasn't been updated in forever. I had to catch up on my studies and do extra work since I'm going to miss more than a month of school (going on vacation). And so I was caught up with that. I've finally found time to write. I might just fail this year if I don't work hard so that's why this story was delayed. As much as I love writting, I don't want to fail. Also, responding to some reviwers here (since I never do, sorry again).
kittykat132: I just called Yuki a whore because I hate her in the new chapters of the book. I know her reasons. But she hurt Zero and that's kind of stuff unforgivable for a Zero fan like me.
ice-liger: Read the new chapter? Epic and a kiss too! But I agree with you, it took them long enough!
Mindy2010: Thank you!
Darknessdawns: Glad you liked it! Oh, thanks for pointing that out.
JainaZekk621: Thank you!
Thank you to the rest of you out there too! I love hearing from you!
