Chapter 5 – Yuuki's Dream
Yuuki was sitting on the middle of her bed with her legs crossed comfortably, in her moonlight bedroom, seeing Zero, once again, sitting on the floor underneath the window struggling to fight the hungry beast with in him.
"Yuuki...how can you like them?... how can you like HIM!" Zero shouted slightly to Yuuki with his head placed in his folded arms which were balanced on top of his high bent knees.
"I'm sorry Zero, I didn't know! If I did, things would be different! Well, that's if I didn't grow to close to Kana-" Yuuki started to reply but was interrupted.
"Don't you dare say his filthy name when I'm around." Zero snapped back. "I mean, they murdered my family! The only people that I can really live with! And they, those pureblood suckers took that away from me! Plus, they, well one of them, have made into something I want to kill and get rid of, they made me into a vampire that will sometime lose their control and normality and never be able to be myself ever again. They have took and made me into something I disgust, not making me want to live anymore And I bet, soon, oh very soon, that that piece of filth is going to take away yours!"
"NO! That isn't true! Kaname is kind! So kind! If you actually got to know him you would agree with me, but no, you're too damn selfish to actually consider it!" Yuuki snapped back straight away with no hesitations. "And I thought of you as the strong, brave person that I could rely on!"
"No Yuuki, I know that I am right, and you're right to, I would never ever in my life consider to get to know him. And Yuuki, never rely on me... it should be me relying on you, as you already know...your part of my obsession." Zero chuckled evilly.
"This isn't you Zero, even though I know you hate Kaname, you would still support me. And you would never want to hurt me! You're too caring I know it! You have too much of a big contented heart" Yuuki replied shaken.
Zero simply chuckled looking up at Yuuki with bright, crimson burning eyes. "The contents of my heart was gone long ago."
"I know Zero! So was mine till I met you! And also Kaname helped alongside with my father! I thought I was never going to be right again, knowing I wasn't going to be brought up with a mother-"
"Well try loosing everyone around you? Imagine that? Now, think, carefully! Do you think you could make your heart contented with happiness again?" Zero asked still glaring at Yuuki with his burning bright crimson eyes. "You would have no support, like I haven't now."
"That's not fair Zero! I have always tried to be there for you! So has my father!" Yuuki replied taken back by Zero's comment.
"But...what if you weren't there anymore? What if something happened...? Maybe something that happened with that filth? What if he turned against you? What if he was planning something?...something unexpected..." Zero replied mysteriously.
"No Zero! NO!" Yuuki screamed covering her ears and closing her eyes. "Why are you doing this?"
"I'm not doing anything...it's just the beast that she turned me into...Shizuka Hiou...I will never be my normal self ever again Yuuki, I will become an uncontrollable beast-" Zero replied honestly but was interrupted by a scared Yuuki.
"No Zero! You will not fall to that stage! I wouldn't allow it!" Yuuki screamed back also uncovering her ears and opening her eyes.
"Isn't it a bit late for that?... I'm already the uncontrollable beast." Zero chuckled with humour spread across his face with his burning, bright crimson eyes looking at the shocked Yuuki.
That was then when Yuuki feeling something warm and slimy on both of her hands. She looked down at them seeing nothing due to the darkness of the room, so she got up from her bed and walked over to a moonlight part of the room without looking away from her hands. She entered the moonlight and she froze in fear and gasped for air at the sight of her own, fresh blood on her hands.
She took a few steps backwards, and then turned around and ran out of her room into the dark corridor terrified at what happened.
"No, this can't be happening... No...Zero..." Yuuki said to herself trying to calm and restore her normal breathing pattern, but her heart skipped a beat when she heard a loud bang and a thud like noise coming from the chairman's office right opposite her and down the hall.
"Father?..." she said quietly to herself.
She started to walk slowly towards the chairman's office, her heart beating faster, once again, every step along the way till she got to the door and pushed it wide open.
No one was in there and there was a dim bright light of a lamp.
Yuuki took a few more steps into the room getting closer to her father's desk, till she saw it. She saw an arm lying lifeless on the floor behind the desk, and Yuuki immediately recognised it as her father's arm. She ran around the desk seeing her father, the chairman, lying lifeless on the floor on the front side of his body, with a crimson colour staining his clothes, body and the carpet on the floor around him.
She clamped her hands around her mouth in agony and shock. Tears dramatically started to form and she collapsed on her knees beside her murdered father.
"No...No, please, please let this just be a nightmare, Oh father." Tears fell rapidly down her cheeks and she hugged the corpse lying before her.
"No Yuuki, this isn't a dream, you could although say it was a nightmare." Said familiar voice.
Yuuki got up straight away to see who it was, and, still with grief of her loss, relief spread through her mind and heart, when she saw her childhood close friend standing by the office door with his messy, dark brown hair covering most of his face and wearing his long, black travel coat.
"Oh, Kaname-Senpai! I'm so glad-" Yuuki stopped, shocked at what she saw Kaname do.
Kaname closed the door behind him locking it, revealing his blood covered hand which he then licked after wards. Yuuki's eyes widened in pure fear and alarm.
"Mm, not the best blood I have tasted before, but I'm sure that would change in a minute." Kaname said to Yuuki with a menacing look and voice.
"Why Kaname? Why!" Yuuki said crying once again. "I trusted you! I never thought of this as you!"
"Why? Yuuki, oh my sweet smelling Yuuki, I'm a pureblood vampire? We trick people easily with either ourselves or our powers, and we either plan something that we may in the end, enjoy. And I had to gain your trust, or I wouldn't still be here would I? I would of lost my chance of trying your blood which would have been so disappointing as I fell in love with it and lusted for it the most since the day I smelt it, and since the day I smelt it, I wanted to protect you so your blood and body was unharmed. But it seems that I have broken my own promise." Kaname said pointing out Yuuki's bloody red body and day class uniform.
Yuuki couldn't believe this. **This isn't Kaname, not her closest friend... No...Not this gentle, caring person...** Yuuki thought with no words coming out her speechless mind and mouth.
"I think I should consider finishing the work that has already been started for me." Kaname chuckled darkly walking towards Yuuki who was walking backwards not caring what she was treading on so that her eyes were fixed on the vampire she trusted with her life which was now, most probably, going to be taken away from her and given to him under his satisfactory.
"No..." Yuuki whispered to herself drying her tears. **If my life had to be given to someone it would be for someone who needed it the most, and that was Zero! He is suffering at the moment trying to keep his sanity, whereas, this creature that is approaching me is only wanting my blood, that he has claimed to have preserved, for the lust and smell of it** Yuuki thought reasonably. And she ran past Kaname with quick unexpected movement to reach for the door. She grabbed the door handle struggling to get it open and then remembered that Kaname locked it, and without no thought of it, she screamed out a certain name for help.
"ZERO!" Yuuki screamed through the door, but she got an unexpected reply.
"I told you Yuuki...why didn't you trust me?" said the calm voice of Zero
"I'm sorry Zero! I really am! You can consume my life! I will do whatever! I don't want to die under Kaname's control!" Yuuki screamed back.
"It's too late for that Yuuki." Replied Zero's voice which was fading away.
"ZERO!" Yuuki screamed out once more, before feeling the tight grip of Kaname's hands around her neck.
Kaname quickly whispered to Yuuki "I don't think you're going anywhere." Before throwing her across the room in a vicious manor. Yuuki first crashed her back in to the wall letting out a yelp of pain and then slide down it landing on the floor on the front of her body, struggling to move.
She heard Kaname's heavy footsteps walking towards her, and yet again, she felt the tight grip around her neck which he used to pull Yuuki upwards, lifting her up a little higher so that her feet couldn't touch the floor and pinning her against the wall.
Yuuki grabbed his hand which was around her neck to effortly try and break free from his cruel handle. She looked down at Kaname's face which was covered with his untidy dark, brown hair and his crimson eyes were glowing brightly and humour spread across his face straight away.
"Oh, how long I have thirsted for this moment." Kaname giggled pulling Yuuki closer to him. "I think you have waited for this moment too, am I right?" he asked her.
"N-No." Yuuki replied struggling to breath and speak.
"Oh, then it just means I have been waiting, very patiently I guess, I should be rather proud of myself. But, what I can't decide is whether to keep you as a vampire...or just to eat you all up with leaving no more traces of your pity life left? What would you prefer?" Kaname asked politely but evilly at the same time.
Yuuki didn't reply.
"Okay then, be like that then, but, I think I might decide after trying your blood actually."
Kaname pulled the struggling Yuuki even more closer to him, using the hand around her neck to force her to tilt her neck. And with a cruel method, bite deep down into Yuuki's neck straight away allowing his venomous fangs to deepen every second. Kaname didn't even lick her neck before hand, making the bite so much more painful and un comforting. And she felt the sickening chemicals and toxins from Kaname's fangs and body, enter her bloodstream causing her body to produce unbearable pain from all around her body, causing her to be temporally paralysed.
After a few minutes, Kaname removed his fangs and dropped Yuuki carelessly to the floor.
"Wow...Your blood tastes better than I expected..." Kaname said wiping his mouth with the sleeve of his black, long coat. He then got onto his knees and grabbed Yuuki by the shoulders sitting her up against the wall. She was in terrible pain, the chemicals and toxins that were passed into her bloodstream by Kaname started to react, making her want to scream at the antagonising pain. Something was happening to her... like something was trying to take over her body.
"I bet that's the pain of the pureblood venom taking over your body, turning you slowly into a vampire like I, although, I am so much more powerful, whereas you will lose your sanity and become uncontrollable... but, I will not allow this to happen... your blood is too valuable for anyone else on this god forsaken earth, so, I might as well just finish you right here at this very moment..." Kaname said still holding Yuuki's shoulders. There was no expression on Yuuki's face, just the look of fear and hopelessness. Slow, cold tears ran down her cheeks and Kaname, with sudden rapid movement, bite her neck very deeply and without licking it.
Kaname bite and drank her blood from literally, every part of her weak, powerless body. She was drenched in blood, and no skin colour could be found on her body, and most of her clothes were ripped.
"Such a selfish breed...too powerful to overcome though... I don't like only bad vampires...I hate them all...this just proves...that there isn't an innocent breed of vampire on this planet... I should of always agreed with Zero...although, Zero was now one of them... it was them he hated...and now he hates himself... does this mean I hate him?...I thought Kaname was caring and so kind, with such a gentle heart... but it was all a lie... a lie to take my life and trust away...forever..." Yuuki heard a little girl faintly say in the background whilst her life was being slowly taken away by the blood thirsty Kaname. Yuuki tried hard to open her eyes slightly, to see a sight which gave her a shiver down her spine and Goosebumps on the back of her neck. She saw herself, at the age of when she was ten. The ten year old Yuuki stood there innocently and simply watched Kaname slowly killing the older Yuuki.
"Yuuki...R-Run..." the older Yuuki effortly tried to say whilst Kaname was attacking her cruelly and painfully, but her eye sight started to fade into darkness.
"Yuuki, please say that this hasn't changed your mind and opinion on vampires?" the chairman asked concerned.
And then, after those words, everything disappeared. From energy to movement, hearing to eyesight and breathing... it all had gone into darkness...
"NO KANAME NO!" Yuuki screamed jolting upright in her bed, when she woke up from her horrifying nightmare, sitting breathless in the darkness. "Please...Stop." she then whispered in terror and shock. She covered her mouth with one of her hands, and she felt her face to feel it damp with tears.
**That dream...well nightmare... felt so real.** she thought horrified. **maybe Zero is right? Maybe every pureblood or any types of vampire are bad? But keep it secret camouflaging it making out that they are kind and caring?**
Yuuki sat up for a few minutes, reciting the nightmare in her head. Till she heard the door bursting open.
This made Yuuki jump in fright as she was still traumatised from after her dream. She stared at the infirmary door in fear of who was walking up to her bed. She couldn't see anything, due to the darkness of the room and the midnight conditions outside.
"Are you okay Yuuki?" said a panicked voice from the bottom of her bed.
Yuuki gasped. "Zero...? Is that you?"She asked wonderingly.
There wasn't any reply.
"I will take that as you are okay, I will go now." Said the voice now moving away from her bed.
"No! Wait! Don't leave me by myself!" Yuuki cried "I know that's you Zero! I can sense it...please stay, I need you-"
"I will go and get Kaname Kuran instead, you were, after all, screaming out his name for most of the night." Said Zero patiently still moving to the door.
"No, but Zero, you don't understand, that dream was about Kaname! Well, actually it wasn't a dream! It was a nightmare, such a cruel nightmare!" Yuuki pleaded. "Please Zero? I only feel comfortable telling you about it... I need it out of my system before it makes me go insane."
Yuuki heard zero sigh and then close the door. She wondered for a minute if he closed it after he left the room or not
"Zero..?" she asked hoping he was still with her.
"How would you want me here Yuuki?" he replied asking her.
Yuuki was relieved to know that Zero was still within the dark infirmary room with her. "I need your presence, it comforts me and calms me, you may think that you don't share any kind of comfort but believe me, you do, even by just your presence and nothing else, there seems to be a calm, strong, brave ora around you." Yuuki replied wanting his presence to be closer instead of still far away.
"Yuuki you don't understand? I'm a monster now... uncontrollable and blood thirsty... don't you fear me? Especially after what I did to you?" Zero asked pained but annoyed.
"I will never fear you Zero, I wouldn't be able to. It's not your fault you turned out like this. You cannot control it, and I accept that. But shouldn't you be okay now that you have had some blood?" Yuuki asked anxiously.
"Yeah, for now I will be okay, but not for long." Zero sighed in distress and anger but with also a hint of fear "there's no other options for me at the moment. The chairman tries to make me take the blood tablets, but I have tried them and like I said, my body rejects them, but your father won't give up on the damn theory, the only way to stop falling to this level, is to drink from her-" Zero didn't know that Yuuki knew about Shizuka Hiou, but Yuuki did know but she didn't want to ask him about 'her' so that it doesn't make it obvious that she knew something. "-or to prevent from falling to that stage early is to drink a supply of blood regularly when necessary. But I know I will never get to her blood so I will eventually soon turn into a level-e, and then... I wish to be killed, by whom I haven't decided yet."
"Zero! No! You won't! You won't fall to that stage! I won't allow-" Yuuki paused, remembering the scene in her nightmare with zero. She stopped in panic, **No...It won't become real, it was made up...it's my mind playing tricks on Me.** Yuuki thought panicking. She then felt something very un expecting. Zero was now beside her bed stroking her head lightly. Yuuki's worry and fear for her nightmare then disappeared by the touch of his skin on hers. Although he was hesitating a bit, worried that he would make a move that would scare her and make her not trust him again... However, Zero wasn't expecting her to trust him in the first place since the incidence.
"Yuuki, please don't worry, and please don't say that. Nothing can stop it, so you will have to accept that...it will happen soon, so be prepared for it." Zero replied with a distressed tone of voice.
"No Ze-" Yuuki tried to reply but was all a sudden stopped by Zero, who embraced Yuuki quickly, hugging her tightly, but not painfully as he considered her ache and pain he caused her to have.
"Yuuki, please..." Zero whispered.
Yuuki didn't reply, she was speechless. She had never seen Zero in such a sensitive and gentle way before. **He had blocked these feelings for such a long time now... I wonder if he will stay like it...or go back to the scarred life he had?** Yuuki thought, trying to embrace him back, but couldn't lift her arms up very high as they were stiff.
**she doesn't deserve to worry, she should be happy or at least satisfied that I'm considering to get someone to kill me when that time comes, but I shouldn't be thinking about this right now, the chairman said not to worry either as I still have a long time to wait, but I should be concentrating on Yuuki, its seems that this nightmare she had has traumatised her in some certain way of fear.** Zero thought whilst holding Yuuki silently in his arms.
Tears fell down Yuuki's rosy cheeks and let out an unintentional sniffle. Zero heard this straight away.
"Yuuki...I'm sorry, I will go." He said straight away letting her go.
"NO!" she started to breath heavily as the tears worsened "I'm crying because I have realised that I haven't been so supportive in the past and now the present, I didn't know, if I did then I would of been so much more of a better person! So much more of a better friend so you could rely on me. If I knew, I wouldn't of kept boosting on about Kaname and the night class and how great and nice they are-" Yuuki stopped immediately, realising that she said too much hinting that she knew about Zeros bloody past. But it seemed Zero didn't suspect anything, he was still sat on her bed with his expression nonexistent due to the darkness. She continued. "Im just sorry Zero, i deserved this." Yuuki rubbed her neck. "It made me realise that i was not making enough effort on caring for you and understanding your feelings."
Zero tried to figure out where her hand was, and pulled it away from her neck and held it in his warm grip.
"Yuuki, your wrong." He replied sympathetically. "you have helped through me so much, i couldn't ask for so much support and kindness. I mean, those nights when we were young and i was having nightmares of my own, you stayed up with me and stroked my head till I fell asleep, and no one would do that except from my parents." Zero sighed. "If it wasn't for you and your caringness, i would of probarly ran away from here. But we shouldn't be talking about me, I came down here to see if you were okay." Zero lightly pushed Yuuki down onto her back and then pulled the covers up so that she was warm and comfortable. "what happened in your nightmare?" Zero asked sitting beside her on her bed.
Yuuki was thinking of a way of how she could explain her nightmare to the patient Zero without sounding stupid and insecure.
"well, firstly, You and Kaname was included in it, but so was the chairman, but, his appearance wasn't living..." Yuuki stopped remembering the scene in her dream of the chairman laying lifeless on the floor in his own office. Zero was still patient as Yuuki had a minutes silence. He, Zero, had seemed to sense that Yuuki was in a bit of distress.
"you was the first to appear, and we was in my room, like we was the last time we saw each other, and we was arguing. Arguing over vampires, mostly pureblood vampires. You supported the idea that they were all cruel including Kaname, who you suspected was trying to hide his true self and was planning something unexpectedly terrorising against me, and I, obviously, supported the idea that some vampires were nice, and that Kaname was a kind, caring vampire who was trying to look after and protect me." Yuuki explained calmly as the tears where now slowing. She also wanted to explain more about what the argument was about, but she knew it would deffinately give something away. "the argument worsened, and your vampire instincts kicked in changing your personality and behavoir, and i don't know what happened, but i went into the moonlight and saw my own blood on my hands, so i ran out of the room terrified. And then that's when the worst part came. I heard a noise coming from the chairmans office, so i walked towards the door, and found the chairman, well, my father, murdered, as he was laying on the floor in the pool of his own bl-blood." Yuuki wiped the tears on her face making it dry. "and thats when Kaname came into the nightmare. He locked the door with him inside, and he told me that he had been hiding his true self and told me that over the years he had been planning to protect me, e.g. my blood, so then he can basically, eat me and consume my life as his.
He, Kaname, attacked me, and i screamed for you, but you was relactant to help because i didn't believe you, i was begging you to take my life instead of Kaname... i wanted my life to be taken by you so that it quenched your thirst for a while, i wanted it to go to use rather than a lustful desire." Yuuki said looking hard to see and find Zero through the darkness. "but you said it was too late for help, and Kaname was biting me so hard and viciously, not like the way you did to me, Zero, your bite was so much more comforting, you licked before hand which made the pain more dull and you didn't bite to hard down at first, you did gradually deepen though." Yuuki explained. "and before, I-...I died, i saw myself at the age of ten, and she, the ten year old Yuuki, was standing there explaining about how much she trusted Kaname with her life and that it was going to be taken from her by him in a cruel way. She also explained that purebloods were a cruel, selfish breed, that were great at tricking our minds.
And thats only a brief summary of it, I'm missing alot of parts in it, like how Kaname tortured me-" Yuuki paused as she felt the covers being slightly pulled from her, like someone had grabbed a handful of the covers and clenched their fist in some sort of anger. Yuuki carried on. "and the missing parts of our argument and the little Yuuki."
After a minute, Yuuki felt the covers being loosened by, persumbarly, Zero's grip. "I still hate Purebloods including him, but i have seen the way he and you are like around each other, and i don't think he would do something like that, see mine was differ-" Zero stopped. "Mine-" He continued. "was completely different, the pureblood vampire that took away my human soul was pitiless and selfish, and I can say jealous of my family and their power... but if he ever did that to you" Zero clenched his fist again. "i would not care about the rules, i would surely kill him. And I would not restrain myself not to help you, i will always help you like you helped me, either present, or the past. I don't think i can bear the thought of another human life being taken by a pureblood." Zero said in disgust.
Yuuki felt as though Zero hadn't finished speaking but kept it quiet to himself.
"But it sounds like a trumatising dream, do you think you could go back to sleep? Or are you worried that you may come across it again?" Zero asked kindly.
"No, i should be able to sleep now, knowing that your okay and have been with me properly after such a long time." Yuuki replied smiling slightly to nothing, as the room was still dark and non viewable to see Zero.
Zero got up and tried hard to find Yuuki's head. And once he had found it, he stroked it with his cold hand and sat back down with his hand still moving gently in a soothing manor.
"Just incase you can't get back to sleep, i will stay here till you fall asleep. Its a way to say thank you for not fearing me, but simply understanding the condition im in." Zero replied caringly.
Yuuki was still astonished by Zero's outburst and show of his true feelings of care. She never wanted him to stop this, but she knew it wouldn't last long, and she accepted that.
"And, its also a return for the nights you have had nightmares and i had to stay up patting your head till you slept." Yuuki replied giggling cheekly.
Zero joined a little. "Yeah, i guess its also a thank you for that, and a return."
Yuuki then all a sudden thought back to Zero's condition and how she didn't want it to end into that dangerous level (level-e). She then realised something... something only she can do as her blood satisfied him the most (apart from Shizuka Hiou's) and is the most attractive scent to him.
at the thought of her new, giving idea, she cringed and remembered the pain. Shivers ran across her body wildly and freely.
"Are you okay Yuuki?" Zero asked concerned slowing his gentle stroking on Yuuki's head.
Yuuki didn't know how to explain her idea to him and her commitment to it. She was willing to do anything, no matter what happened, and if Zero disproves the idea, Yuuki will not give up or resist.
"Zero... you were telling the truth about how much my blood is approved by your vampire instincts right...?" Yuuki asked making sure she was making the right decision.
Zero sighed displeasement. "Yuuki, lets not speak about this, you will have another nightmare."
"Zero please, just answer...its important." Said Yuuki a little desperate for an answer.
Zeros hand movement stopped, so his hand layed lifeless on top of her head. "Yes Yuuki, your blood has fallen into my vampires instincts lust trap." He replied neutrally.
Yuuki sighed, now knowing what she had to say. "Zero, don't hate me if you don't like this offer... but, im willing to give my blood to you whenever it is desperately needed, so it helps you not falling to a level-e at the moment, and it will defiantly, and hopefully, prevent that stage from happening as my blood is very satisfying to you as you have said." Yuuki asked shaking a little, but tried to control it so Zero wouldn't sense it giving him the impression that she was afraid of him.
There was no reply. Zero removed his hand from Yuuki's head, and all her comfort and warmth disappeared at the feel of it leaving. She heard Zero get up and walk away. Yuuki panicked, she knew deep down inside that he would react like this.
"why would you want that Yuuki? Why would you want to help me? I cant do that, not to you, not again, its bad enough i didn't tell you about it...its bad enough i attacked you without no hesitations. What if i did that again? But actually killed you?" Zero said sickened at the offer. "I would rather die now rather than hurt you frequently. You doing that will make you my victim Yuuki? You do understand that right? Actually, you are already my victim"
"i do understand, but i want Zero to be in a safe, secure condition, i don't want you losing your sanity yet! And im also doing this for cross academy!" Yuuki replied in a willing tone.
"Im sorry Yuuki, but i cant-"
"Yes you can Zero! Do not say that! Its not like your taking my blood freely right? Im giving it to you, so that it can help you!" Yuuki imediantly argued back.
Zero sighed angrily. "Yuuki, you don't know what your getting yourself into."
"I do, and i don't care. Nothing is going to stop me and thats why we are not going to tell anyone, like my father, about where your getting the blood supply from. You will have to make out that the blood tablets have started to work effectively." Yuuki said firmy for her decision.
Zero couldn't argue back. "i will have to think about this. Its a big role and decision your making, it can be dangerous."
"I know, but im willing to complete my mission of helping Zero." Yuuki replied softly but worried at the same time about how much danger she could be in. "But promise me something, because your going to take this offer no matter what!" Yuuki pointed out to Zero. "don't take my blood in the way that Kaname did in my dream? Always try to make it comforting? I know it will still hurt, but you know..."
Zero let out a moan of disgust. "Yuuki, i will try and not allow myself to drink your blood."
"Yes you will Zero! Do not hold back! When you need any or, what i would prefer, if you was in a serious way and needed some blood, either tell me or hint to me that you need some." Yuuki replied getting a little annoyed.
"Oh, well don't expect any hints or asks for any." Zero replied standing his ground.
Yuuki got up from her bed and onto her feet in quick fluent movement which suggested she was annoyed at Zero's disaproveful. But she forgot about how much she ached and pained, so her legs gave way. But before she hit the ground, somehow, Zero found Yuuki in the dark and caught her.
In this moment, Yuuki tried to effortly wrap her arms around Zero's torso firmly as possible.
"Please Zero...let me do this for you... it will also stop me from worrying about you, and it will make me feel more reassured that your okay and not thirsty." She said with a little desperation.
"You have done too much for me, and your health is more important than mine." Zero replied holding Yuuki by her waist as he caught her from there.
"I will be fine. I want you to take this offer Zero, i won't give up or resist your arguments and disagreements towards it. It might be the only offer your given if you cant take the blood tablets." Yuuki replied reasonably.
Zero picked Yuuki up and laid her back onto her bed, trying hard to find the beginning of the covers so that he could place them on top of Yuuki. Zero had no reply to this, he knew he couldn't fight back as he knew how good Yuuki was at not giving up on something that she wanted or decided.
"I should go now and leave you to sleep." Zero said when he finished covering Yuuki warmly with the covers.
"That's only if you want to sleep or want to go." Yuuki replied.
Zero found the chair and sat next to the bed and yet again started to stroke Yuuki's head.
"I will go, once your asleep. And if it makes it easier for you to sleep, i will consider your offer Yuuki, even though it makes me feel vile and sick." Zero replied.
Yuuki smiled and closed her eyes in comfort feeling less worried and more tired. "Thank you Zero. And by the way, I want to risk my life for you, no matter what." Yuuki replied now silently drifting off to the dreamland that she was previously in during her nightmare, leaving Zero stroking her head silently and gently, meaning every stroke he did.
**This gentle, fragile girl laying asleep in front of me... deserves a better life... not one full of danger with someone such as me who will someday loose their sanity and become blood thirsty... she shouldn't live a life-threatening, dangerous life... if i decide to agree upon her wish... i know for sure, that i would want her to be the one that i would want to kill me when i start getting to that sickening stage .. because, she is the only person i trust and if i take this wish, i will owe her my life no matter what, and that owe, includes the killing of me by her, my life will become hers... but even if i didn't agree... i would still want her to be my killer, not only because i attacked her in such a cruel way, but because i owe her for all that she has done for me, but ... i care for her so much... and i would like to die by the hand ... of the girl... i care for** Zero thought watching Yuuki fall to sleep peacefully.
