Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight, If I did it would have been Zero who ended with Kaname not Yuki.

[Day 2] Friday
Zero was at his room when he sensed a vampire who he is secretly in love with. He just got out of the shower, so he thinks it was okay to show up. He then got knocked on the head and reacted fast. But he was not surprised to know it was Yuuki. He didn't realize he never sensed Yuki coming over, so that means he was thinking too much of the vampire that he didn't notice Yuki coming and most important of all; he was already at the Chairman's study. He felt the Chairman's eyes on him and the pureblood eyes. He suddenly started to leave when he felt a hand on his shoulders. He looked back over his shoulders to see it was the pureblood. He was so close that the ex-hunter faintly blushed and the hand on his shoulders suddenly left his shoulders. He groaned when the hand on his shoulders left him but luckily no one noticed.
"Kiriyu, do you know that your-?" he cut off when he suddenly remembered Ichiru's words. " 'Kaname-sama, please don't tell anyone about me being alive, I just want you to be the only one to know. Please?!' " The pureblood got out of space when he noticed a finger poking his cheek. He looked directly at the Chairman his eyes telling 'do that again and see what happens'. The Chairman pulled his hand away from the pureblood but not backing away.
"Are you okay, Kaname-kun? You were dazing out." The Chairman said concerned.
The pureblood nodded. "Yes, I'm okay." Kaname decided not tell them yet about Ichiru being alive since he promised him. And he is a man of his word.
The ex-hunter hesitated before speaking and decided to speak impolitely. "Kuran, what the hell were you going to say?" Zero said putting a scowl. It hurt him to be rude to the pureblood, but he doesn't want the pureblood to know and get laughed at. Since he know that the pureblood is not going to return his feelings.
The pureblood decided to lie at them. "Never mind. It was nothing important. I guess I will take my leave now." Kaname smiled and headed to the door stopping to hug Yuki who blushed. And Zero who got jealous but didn't show it.
The Chairman said before the pureblood "Goodbye, Kaname-kun!"
"Good Bye, Kaname-senpai!" Yuuki bowed to the pureblood before he disappeared.
But before the pureblood left, Zero said something. "Good Bye, Kaname." Zero quietly said that the Chairman nor Yuki heard, but the pureblood heard it but thinking he was just hallucinating. With that, the pureblood disappeared as if he wasn't even there in the first place.

When he returned to the Moon Dorms, he noticed someone was at his window looking out. Ichiru. They met eyes for a second before the other on the window looked away. The pureblood thought he saw some emotions on his face, but dismissed the thought. He stayed there for a while looking at the window but decided to go nt towards the Moon Dormitory entrance. He opened the double doors to see his inner circle chatting with each other. When they saw him, they stopped talking to watch their pureblood leader go up the stairs. But their he was half way when he turned back.
"Ichijou." Kaname ordered for the said vampire to come with him.
Ichijou got up and went to follow the his best friend. He knew what they were going to talk about but kept his mouth shut if he doesn't want the others to know just yet that a person they all know is dead is now alive. Also, he doesn't want to taste the madness of his friend. He kept silent until he they finally got to their destination.
Kaname walked around his desk and sat on the chair. He looked up to Ichijou with his hands crossed and his chin on top. The other just stood there and looking up at the other.
"Ichijou, how is Ichiru feeling?," inquired Kaname. "He looks moody." With that Kaname laughed softly.
Ichijou got nervous. He didn't want to let their pureblood leader to know that Ichiru has not been eating. He tried to think of a good lie that's believable. Oblivious to the pureblood reading his mind, the pureblood went to good mood to bad mood. After a moment the green-eyed noble spoke. "Well, his ok! And it's likes his enjoying himself here!" Then he noticed the dark aura emitting every inch of the pureblood's slender and lean figure.
"Don't lie with me, Ichijou," said Kaname his eye twitching.
The green-eyed noble rubbed the back of his head with his hand. "How stupid am I lying to a pureblood?!" The pureblood got impatient. The window behind him cracked into little pieces of glass. The other got horrified. But relaxed when the pureblood mysteriously smiled. An ultimately rare happy real smile.
Kaname laughed softly. "I understand, Ichijou. It's okay."
"Phew~! I thought you were going to kill me!" The green-eyed noble exhaled the air he didn't know he has been holding.
Kaname stopped reading the green-eyed noble's mind but instead asked the him. "Why hasn't he been eating?" He asked.
The green-eyed noble barely realized at how the their pureblood leader knew Ichiru hasn't been eating. So he asked. "Kaname, may I ask? How did you know he hasn't been eating?! It's not like you could read minds or something, right?!" He thought maybe that the pureblood was so far away that they hardly know things that were happening with the pureblood now.
The pureblood smiled wickedly. "Of course not, Ichijou." He kept the secret that not only he has kinetic powers from which he got from drinking Shizuka's Hio's blood. And the one and only pureblood who has more than one power. And more than that.
The other was trying to read the other's face if he was joking or serious but found none of those but instead he found the pureblood being himself. He shook his head and instead answered the pureblood's question. "Um… well, you see… he won't eat unless you eat with him or the food his going to eat is cooked by you." He looked at the prince while playing with his fingers. He didn't know if the pureblood even knew how to cook?!
The pureblood was in deep thought. He knew how to do everything. But only cooked if it was necessary. "Well, I think I'll do both options."
The green-eyed noble jumped when he heard the prince's voice. He got so distracted with playing with his fingers that he forgot he was speaking pureblood. "Okay! I'll tell him right-! Wait! You know how to cook?!" He exclaimed.
The pureblood laughed like he never laughed before since with seeing Yuuki dress and of course with Ichiru. With this, it made the other really happy that the pureblood was happy instead of always the serious one. How he wished he could video tape it. After a moment, the pureblood wiped tears of laughter. He looked at the other still recovering from the laughter. "Of course I can cook. Did you think I'm too sheltered to cook? Or I'm too much of a brat prince to do such a useless thing, Ichijou?"
The green-eyed noble hit himself mentally. "Of course not, Kaname." Well, he did almost thought the second one though. Almost.
"Oh? Then if that's the case, I will cook something for my Ichiru." The pureblood got up and went around the desk heading towards the door but was stopped when he heard his name.
"Kaname." The green-eyed noble said.
The pureblood instinctively turned around. "Yes, Ichijou?" He asked.
The noble smiled before speaking. "Well, even though Ichiru-kun has only been for almost a day," he stopped to look at the pureblood to continue and when he saw the approval he continued. "Let's see….you have been your self…."He trailed off. he didn't know what happened that day because Kaname incredibly changed.
The pureblood raised an eyebrow. Out of everything he expected for the noble to say; this wasn't any of them. He asked himself ,"Have I at least be myself for once?"
After a moment, he wasn't sure of the answer. "Oh? Did I?" The pureblood then turned to open the turn the knob when he turned around again. "I just hope everything will be all right." He then turned around again and turned the knob. He went through the door and disappeared to the you know where leavning the noble staring at the door.
The green-eyed noble sighed out of relief that his best friend is happy. Then, opened the door to go to Kaname's room to tell Ichiru Kaname will be preparing breakfast for him.
-x- (To make up for waiting long)
Kaname was at the kitchen when the his inner circle finally noticed something was smelling really good. They thought it was the chef cooking their food. The first one to get up was Aido Hanabusa who went to the kitchen with vampire speed with his stomach having a bear in it. When he reached the kitchen, however it wasn't what he expected. He stopped at the doorway of the kitchen with the other night class appearing just as shock as he was. Kaname-sama was cooking for god's sake! After a moment of shock, they closed their mouth.
"Ka-ka-kaname-sama!" They all saluted to the pureblood busy with himself cooking something that looks like… like spaghetti!
The pureblood noticed them and stopped cooking at once when they all straightened up. His aura turned from a content mood to a deadly mood. He turned his head and faced them. "What do you think you're doing here?" asked the annoyed pureblood. They all felt a shiver ran down their spine when their pureblood leader asked a question. It was obvious that the pureblood didn't want them disturbing him. Right at that moment, a voice talked but it wasn't theirs. "Ooohhh! Kaname-kun! I didn't know you knew how to even cook! And we came at the right time!" The chairman cheerfully said. They all turned up around to see the Chairman and Yuuki and none other than Zero Kiriyu. The pureblood got more annoyed. Sensing the dark aura emitting every inch of the pureblood' lean and slender body, the Chairman tried to calm him down. "Kaname-kun, you shouldn't get too work up because we came here only for a visit."
Out of nowhere, another cheery voice was heard. "Kaname, Ichi-!" He was cut off by the pureblood smashing the refrigerator. They all flinched at the sound of the refrigerator getting smashed. They all thought the same thing at that same time. 'Damn! I'm dead!'
When the pureblood took out his hand out of the broken refrigerator, they all stared at him with horrified eyes. But when the pureblood smiled, they all relaxed. "Kiriyu-kun, would you mind helping me serving the spaghetti since I know that they are starving." The ex-human was little caught off guard when he was asked to serve the spaghetti. But before anyone could notice that, the pureblood grabbed the ex-human's arm not even noticing when he moved. The ex-human just let the pureblood get his arm before the pureblood let go of the ex-human's arm much to Zero's chagrin. They stopped at the large counter with a pot full of looking deliciousl spaghetti. The pureblood went to get the plates for all of them, and when he came back they were still standing at the doorway gaping.
"Please, sit down." The pureblood offered.
The all went to sit down at the tables looking like children waiting for their favorite dish get served. The pureblood set down plates in front of them while the ex-human put spaghetti on them. He suddenly stopped when the pureblood stopped almost crashing into him due to his vampire reflexes. "Kuran?" The ex-human asked concerned but not showing it. The pureblood looked and tilt his head down a little to look at him in the eye. This made the ex-human uncomfortable. "Oh. It's nothing." The pureblood answered in a monotone voice. But his tone changed when he said. "I won't be eating here, I will be eating in my room because I have papers to do." With that the pureblood went towards the cabinet for two plates.
"Kaname-sama, why do you need two plates?" Asked Aido confused. The pureblood turned back around to answer the question. "Oh is there a problem with having two plates?" He half answered while looking at the green-eyed noble.
"Yeah, I think there isn't a problem with having two plates to eat even though it's unusual." The green-eyed noble defended for the pureblood knowing the real reason.
"Um… yeah I agree with you, Ichijou-san." The vampire slowly slid down his sit until you could only see his face.
The pureblood laughed softly before going to the pot while putting the plates down to put some on the plate. They all looked at him like what his doing is the most fascinating thing in the world. The pureblood then went to the smashed refrigerator to get some drinks for his someone. He then went to the cabinet again to get two cups for the juices. After that, he went to get a tray for the food. When he was done with that, he turned around to face the looking eyes. "Please, I don't want any questions about this." He went towards the doorway but turned back when to speak. "And please can someone fix the refrigerator." Then the pureblood disappeared. This left them stunned. They knew something was wrong with the pureblood because he has been smiling more often not even Yuuki can make. The ex-human suddenly smashed the already smashed refrigerator. They all looked at a murderous hunter. Damn! Whoever is Kaname is hiding will die when I find out who because Kaname is only mine! Zero thought furiously to himself. (A/N: Oh no! What will happen?)
-x-
The pureblood stopped in front of his door. He was about to open the door when the door was suddenly opened. He almost dropped the tray but he 'stopped' the trays from falling. "Ichiru. You should never do that." The pureblood ordered. But even though he ordered, it didn't sound like anything like he did.
"I'm sorry, Kaname-sama!" Ichiru said while bowed at the pureblood. But was stopped at the middle of doing it when he the pureblood stopped him from doing it.
"Please, don't do that." said the pureblood softly. Even though the hunter bowed, he didn't like acting like a doll. "And here, I cook something for you." After that was said, Ichiru's stomach growled like a bear.
Ichiru blushed at the sound. "E-e-excuse me!" He said quietly as not to let the others hear. He straightened up and looked at the pureblood who was biting his bottom lip obvious he was trying no to laugh. This made Ichiru blushed more.
The pureblood was still biting when he ushered both of them inside. Then, the pureblood lightly put the tray on the bed trying not to start shaking because of his trying not to laugh. Suddenly, he couldn't handle it anymore, he dropped on the floor laughing. Ichiru also dropped on the floor thinking he fainted or something, but when he heard the pureblood laughing he stood up and went towards where the tray was settled. The pureblood stopped laughing when he sensed the humiliation coming from the human. He went towards where the human sat eating the spaghetti at a record time. "Ichiru. Stop that." The prince went closer when Ichiru started choking at the food. He started patting the human's back to stop the choking and when the human stopped choking he stopped patting his back. "See, I told you." He exhaled a sigh.
"It wasn't my fault I started laughing." He turned away from the pureblood pouting like child.
"Ichiru…" The pureblood rubbed his temples before speaking again. "Your acting like a child, you know."
Ichiru then faced the pureblood with an anguished look in his eyes that made the pureblood feel a confusing feeling. "I'm sorry…" He hugged the pureblood and started crying on the pureblood's soft shoulders.
The pureblood hugged back the human. "No, Ichiru. I should be the one apologizing. I'm sorry, I hadn't meant to laugh." The prince let one arm stay at Ichiru's back while the other rub his forehead. "And please act like yourself."
Ichiru looked up at the pureblood with a real smile that was for the pureblood and only the pureblood. "I'm sorry for acting like a child. It just that it hurts when you make fun of me." The human sobbed and continued to rest his head on the brunette's shoulder.
"Please don't misinterpret it with that. I wasn't laughing at you; I was laughing at your stomach." The pureblood lightly pushed the human off of him and kissed his forehead.
Ichiru wiped a tear away from his eyes before more came sliding down. "Kaname-sama…" He sobbed. He doesn't care if he looks vulnerable right now; he just care about the prince's presence right now.
"Ichiru…"
