Chapter 3: Strong Feelings

"No. It's all my fault. I pushed him to do that," Yuuki thought. She shouted to get their attention and to stop them, "Both of you! Cut it out!" The two of them stopped. Zero looked at Yuuki with concerned eyes, "Tell me please, it was not you who started it." Yuuki's eyes was becoming watery, she bowed her head with a feeling of guilt and shame. "I-im so sorry, Z-zero. It was -" Kaname interrupts her and he speaks with a cold voice, "It was me. I made her do that. Don't blame her for what happened." "No, why are you lying, Kaname-senpai? W-why?" Yuuki said to herself. She can not take her actions anymore and ran back towards the house while crying.

Meanwhile, the others were back in the house with worried looks.

Aidou: Where are they? I knew something like this is going to happen. And Kaname-sama, yes. Kaname sama. *stops and thinks a scenario*

Shiki: Kaname-sama what?

Rima: Eh? *looks at Aidou closely*

Aidou: NOOOOOOOOOOOO! W-what if, Kaname-sama is in danger, and, and, OH NO, OH MY! What if THAT happened? What should I do?

Ruka: Shut up, Aidou. Whatever you are thinking, just please stop it.

Rima: Seriously, where are they?

Ichijou: *gets his phone* I'm going to call the -

Kain: No,stop. I know they're okay, Kaname can handle that. He knows what he's doing.

Ruka: Oh yeah? When it comes to that girl, he always -

Kain: *pushes Ruka to the wall, goes closer and covers her mouth* Shut up.

Everyone was surprised. It's the first time that Kain did that to Ruka, and he looks angry. Ruka was also shocked with his actions, and she is sweating very hard.

Ichijou: *pats Kain's shoulder* Calm down. I know what you're thinking. *gives a friendly smile*

Kain: *releases Ruka* Sorry. I was just -

Aidou: You were jealous because she's thinking about Kaname-sama all the time, and -

Rima: Idiot! *punches his back*

Aidou: Hey! I was just saying what's true!

Ichijou: Guys, it's Yuuki.

Their attention suddenly goes to Yuuki who just entered the scene with tears from her eyes. When she finally notices everyone was looking at her, she wiped her tears and gives them a cheerful smile.

Yuuki: Uhm, h-hey! Everyone! How's -

Aidou: Where's Kaname-sama?

Shiki: Hmmm. And don't forget Zero-kun.

Yuuki: Ah,uhm… *bows her head* They're going to be back in few minutes.

Ruka: *glares at Yuuki* What happened? Where are they?

Yuuki: He he. *scratches her head* They were, uhm, chillin out there, having their own private time.

Rima: Like everyone would believe you. We know something happened. Just tell us, Yuuki.

Yuuki: *gulps* You really wanna know what happened?

All: YES.

Yuuki: Okay, the truth is, Kaname and I are-

Kaname: Are having a good time, right Zero?

Everyone gasped. Kaname and Zero are back, and it looks like everything was okay.

Ichijou: What happened? You guys are okay?

Rima: Miracle.

Shiki: Just be thankful, Rima.

Rima: Oh. I see.

Zero: We were just chilling out there somewhere. Nothing happened.

Kain: *with a doubtful look* Really? Huh? Then why is Yuuki crying?

Yuuki: *still in wonder* Uhm, because -

Kaname: She was bitten by a dog.

All of them became silent. And suddenly, they burst into laughter.

Aidou: HA HA HA HA! Kaname-sama, that's the most hilarious thing that you said! For almost how many decades, you gave the silliest joke!

Kain: Don't be exaggerated. But yeah, bitten by a dog without any wound? Pretty good.

Ruka: *smiling* We know that something happened, Kaname-sama. But since everything's okay, we won't bother knowing what that was.

Ichijou: *clears his throat* It's getting late guys. We should rest now. Ruka and I prepared something for tomorrow, so let's go to sleep.

All of them decided to go to their bedrooms. They are excited on what Ichijou and Ruka prepared for tomorrow, especially Aidou. But Yuuki still didn't know what happened to Kaname and Zero. She has so many questions on her mind, and there's only one thing that she should do to know everything. Despite the shame and fear of talking to Zero, she pushed herself to call him before he goes in his bedroom. "Zero, can we talk?" she asked in a soft voice. Zero answers her, "Outside, not here," he said.

Both of them went outside to talk. At first, they were silent, and then Yuuki had the guts to open the conversation first.

Yuuki: Zero, I'm so sorry about what happened. I just left and -

Zero: No. It's okay. Kaname told me everything.

Yuuki: *wondering* Told you what?

Zero: Let's just not talk about this, I'm tired.

Yuuki: No, I should know. I was so worried about both of you, and I totally don't know what happened after I left. Oh, and I also have to apologize for leaving in that scene. *smiles cheerfully* I'm still ashamed about what I have done and for that crying-

Zero pushes her on the floor and goes closer on her

Yuuki: Hey, he he, Zero, not s-so, uhm, c-close. I, ah, uhm-

Zero: I punched him on the face but it healed immediately. That pureblood bastard. It's so unfair that he got closer than this to you.

Yuuki: W-what? You punched him in the face? B-but-

Zero: He apologized for what he have done, and told me to just forget everything that happened.

Yuuki: *looks at him deeply*

Zero: And so we will forget everything, for you.

Yuuki: *tears flowed from her eyes and Zero wiped them*

Zero: *releases Yuuki and stands up* Just forget everything. Hurting him will only cause you trouble, also with him, hurting me will make you feel pain. Even if it's hard, I'll do it, for you.

Yuuki: *gulped*

Zero pats Yuuki and kisses her forehead gently. He then goes back and enters his room, getting ready for his sleep. As for Yuuki, she was happy about everything but still, that feeling of shame is burning inside her. "Guess I should just get a good sleep to forget everything." She sighed and enters her room.

Everything went back to normal, and Zero was willing to forget because of his love for Yuuki. Tomorrow, a surprise by Ruka and Ichijou awaits them, causing unexpected things to happen.
