Fanged Delight

Don't Lie

Chapter 8

Kaname sat in his usual armchair, a glass of blood swirling in his palm. His eyes narrow at the sound of the library door opening. He sipped his drink as the footsteps got louder and louder, finally stopping at the side of his chair.

"Kaname-sama."

"What is it, Seiren?"

"Yuki Cross requests an audience with you. She waits down in the foyer."

Kaname drained the last of his glass before setting it down on the table a little too hard then he intended.

"Thank you."

"Of course."

Zero sighed as he stepped out of the shower, slightly out of breath. As he massaged his towel around his damp hair, his thoughts traveled back to Ruka.

What was I thinking?

He thought, wondering just how he was going to cope with everything. He felt dirty as he thought of everything Yuki had done to help him…to protect him.

What have I done?

Kain blinked several times before realizing that this was no dream. He ran his hands up and down her silky smooth arms, closing his eyes as he felt her shiver under his touch.

He opened his eyes to find her silver ones staring down at him intently. He began to breathe slowly as her hands cupped his cheeks, her fingers caressing his skin lightly.

"Kain, I –I care for you. I-"

He placed a finger over her lips, silencing her as he began to stroke over them lightly.



"I understand. You need not say more, my sweet Yuka." He smiled, and pulled her close, tucking her under his chin.

She draped her arm around him and before long their breathing was in sync, as they fell asleep in each other's arms.

"Yuki, why have you come here? Has something happened?" Kaname led her over to the couches and sat down.

"No, nothing's happened. I just…wanted to see you." Kaname blinked. "I wondered how you were doing Kaname."

He couldn't help but smile as he patted her head lightly. "I am fine, of course, Yuki."

"Don't lie." She pulled away from him and looked away. "No, you're not. I'm sorry Kaname. It's my fault."

"You need not apologize to me, Yuki. It is Zero that needs to apologize." His eyes narrowed dangerously. "He has abused you." He moved closer to her and placing a hand on top of hers. "I will see to it personally that it does not happen again, my dear girl."

"Kaname, please. Don't say things like that." Yuki smiled. "It won't."

Kaname kissed her hand and nodded in agreement. "Of course." Because I will not allow it.

Aido raised a brow as he watched Yuki exit the Moon Dormitory. What are you doing here, Yuki chan? He slipped past her unnoticed and entered the foyer.

He shook his head noticing Kaname sama and putting two and two together. He made his way up to his room to find the door unlocked? Pressing an ear to the door, he raised an eyebrow as he heard nothing but pure silence.

He tiptoed his way into the room, and chuckled as he found Yuka and Kain fast asleep. Shaking his head, he got into his own bed and drifted to sleep himself, unaware of just how much chaos he had caused.

"Seiren." Kaname called, his eyes narrowing as she stepped out of the shadows.

"You call, Kaname-sama?"

"Keep an eye on Zero Kiryu. Make sure he stays away from Yuki." He made his way up the handsome marble staircase. Pausing as they reached his room, his hand gripped the door knob.. "See to it that he pays for his actions."

"As you wish." And with a bow, she turned and disappeared.
