Chapter 4

The Return of Yuki

Zero did not understand his feelings for Kaname. He loved what Kaname had done but he hated it at the same time, the feelings of pain and pleasure at the same time. It was cold yet hot at the same time. Zero sighed in frustration. Why must things be so confusing?

Zero's heart was on a rollercoaster ride. He wanted to love yet he wanted a distance. He was afraid of the pain that would come from loving someone yet he cannot help but want to give himself to Kaname. Vampire hunters slay vampires. They were never meant to be together and yet Zero was a hunter and a vampire. Did it mean fate was on his side to support him in this?

Kaname had no clue what was going to happen after what he had done to Zero. What left him spinning in confusion was that last passionate kiss that Zero had given before he had left. Unconsciously his fingers went to touch his lips.

There were three steady knocks on the door which snapped the pure blood out of his thoughts.

"What is it?" he asked in a calm manner. It was a perfect disguise that he used. No one can ask him anything he does not want to answer.

Aidou replied reverently, "It's time to go to class, Kaname-sama."

Kaname made an excuse. He had no wish to stay in such a meaningless place even if it was just to show his face for political reasons. "I'm tired so I'm not going today."

Aidou hesitated outside the door. "As you wish Kaname-sama, also there's someone here to see you."

Kaname raised an eyebrow. Who would it be? If it was Ruka he did not want to see her at all. "Who's here?"

Aidou answered humbly, "It is Yuki and she dragged Zero with her."

Kaname felt his heart skip a beat at the mention of Zero's name. Still maintaining the calm exterior, Kaname coolly replied, "Well, I guess I'll come and see them."

Kaname walked out of his room and was heading down the stairs to meet them in the lobby when Yuki flew into his arms, almost knocking him down. Luckily he was half expecting it and managed to hold his ground.

Yuki gushed out excitedly at being able to meet Kaname in such a long time. "Hi, Kaname it's been a long time!"

Kaname smiled at her and chuckled fondly. "Yes, welcome back."

Yuki smiled in return and chirped, "God, it feels good to be back! I really missed you guys."

Kaname plastered the smile and replied with grace. "Well you were gone for a while and we missed you too." He directed the last few words at Zero with a sly curl of his lips.

Zero blushed and diverted his gaze at Yuki. "Yes, I guess I might have missed you a little."

Yuki pouted childishly. "No, you missed me a lot. Admit it!"

Yuki let go of Kaname and ran back over to Zero grabbing onto his arm. Zero's blush became a little more visible. Kaname gently pried Yuki off his object of affection.

Yuki frowned at Kaname. "What are you doing?"

Kaname smiled kindly and made an excuse. "Oh nothing really... It just looked like he was getting irritated."

Yuki huffed and rolled her eyes. She crossed her arms. "Well of course, that was the whole point."

Kaname suppressed the urge to make a sarcastic come back and opted for a polite apology. Inside, he was grinding his teeth with jealousy. The green monster in him threatened to flare up again when Zero walked away and Yuki ran up beside him to grab the hunter's arm again.

"Bye!" Yuki waved enthusiastically and Kaname managed a smile that seemed genuine enough. He waved back silently not trusting his own mouth.

Zero was seen shrugging her off when they were out of the night dorm. "God let go and stop with the hanging all over me!" Zero grumbled. Kaname felt that green demon inside ease up a little. He relaxed.

"But it's fun!" Yuki insisted.

Zero glared at her mercilessly. "Still stop it. I don't like it."

"Aww~" Yuki whined but did as told. Yuki let go of Zero's arm and then they headed to the gates. They waited for the night class students to get to the cross over and made sure all the day students were under control.

Yuki smiled as the last of the night students made it safely to their classrooms. "Finally… I really missed this for some reason."

Zero agreed. "Yeah, but too bad you don't leave more often. It was so peaceful without you here."

Yuki growled. "Oh just shut up."

Zero grinned. "Geez, I was joking with you… calm down."

Yuki huffed. "Fine, but that's still mean."

Yuki walked over to where Zero had been standing and pulled his ear down to her mouth.

"The head master told me that you skipped a lot of classes."

Zero rolled his eyes. "I was too tired so I did not attend class unlike a certain someone who attends yet scores lower than me. Besides, don't you always call him daddy?"

Yuki blushed. "That's not the point! Anyway, you better show up tomorrow!"

Zero nodded his head in defeat. The girl was really something to make him so exhausted in such a short time. "Yes yes… Just go away," he shooed her away.

Yuki snapped irritated. "What the hell's wrong with you?"

Zero sighed. "Nothing, so just stop asking."

"What, are you mad because the first thing I did when I got back was drag you to see Kaname?"

Zero walked off and snapped in both frustration and embarrassment. "Argh just go away..."

Yuki smirked and sang out, "Nailed it~ so what did he do now?"

Zero frowned and his aura darkened significantly. "Nothing, except his whole existence pisses me off."

Yuki backed away a little from the intimidating aura. "Whoa… must have been something bad. I think I'll avoid the rest of this topic."

Zero nodded in agreement and the heavy aura subsided. "Yeah that's a good idea."

Zero walked as fast as he could so he could get away from Yuki. When he was out of her vision, he slowed down and headed for the barn. He decided that was where he would take refuge from a relentless Yuki but he ended up falling asleep.

When he woke up it was already past four in the afternoon.

Zero cursed. "Oh crap! She's going to kill me, I'm totally dead."

Zero got up as fast as he could and sprinted all the way to class. When he arrived at the door to his classroom, class was over and Yuki was sitting behind the table in the middle of the class.

Zero was surprised. "Aren't you going to yell at me?"

Yuki looked at him for a while before turning away. "I'm not in any position to. I just got here a few minutes before you."

Zero laughed. "Ha ha! You were late to."

Yuki growled, "Like you're one to talk…"

Zero smirked. "I'm always late so the teacher kind of expects it now."

Yuki clicked her tongue. "Yes yes yes, just shut up. I have a headache. I only got approximately two hours of sleep and since you weren't there to watch for day class students I had to watch both of our areas."

Zero was perplexed. "Then how'd you miss class?"

Yuki shuddered at the memory. "You don't want to know."

Zero sympathised with her. "Must have been bad."

Yuki shook her head. "No, not really. It's just that my roommate's not here and all the clocks in the room were wrong so I just ended up sitting there watching TV."

Zero laughed. It sounded so Yuki like. "Ha ha! I was just sleeping in the barn."

Yuki pouted. "Lucky you… I wish I would've been the one sleeping. Well let's go, we have to do our jobs now."

Zero sighed. It was another long day. "Yeah I know."

The two prefects walked to the gates to bring the night class in and prevent the day class students from obstructing them. After which they started their long patrolling for the night.
