Bloodredcherry: hey! Sorry I haven't updated in months but I haven't had time to write lately. This one has Kaname in it. It's really long, which I guess is good cause everyone keeps saying my stories are to short. I have a surprise for the next chapter, but you'll just have to wait to find out what it is!

Vampires Do Not Like Shopping

I got up early that morning, regardless of how tired I was, to make Zero breakfast. I hadn't exactly told him he was taking me to the mall with Yori. I was pretty bad at cooking. The only thing I can make is pancakes. Zero loves my pancakes. He tells me whenever I make them. Suddenly, I heard some one running down the stairs, tripping, and running again.

"Do I smell pancakes?" Zero questioned with a huge grin on his face. I couldn't help but blush. Sometimes, Zero just lit up my whole morning.

"Yes, and, did you trip running down the stairs?" I asked. I already knew the answer, I just like making him feel stupid.

"Maybe…"

I sighed. Sometimes that boy is just pathetic…

I set the table and put the pancakes down in front of him. I tried to act as sweet as possible. Convincing him to take me to the mall is going to take a lot of work. He eyed me suspiciously. I could tell he knew something was wrong. I don't make pancakes very often. I only make them to bribe the chairman into letting me do stuff.

He looked up at me, his mouth full of pancakey goodness.

"Wait a second…"he said, when he finally swallowed. "This is a trap isn't! alright, what do you want me to do?"

"Why Zero, I don't know what your talking about." I replied innocently. I guess I wasn't very convincing…

" I'm not stupid, Yuki. Just ask me already." he said. He popped the last bite of the pancake in his mouth. I guess I just blurted it all out after that…

"The chairman is making you take me and Yori to the mall! Isn't that so awesome!" I said with as much enthusiasm as possible.

"No"

"Please."

"No."

"Please!"

"NO!"

"PLEASE!!!" I was begging now. I knew he would HAVE to take me anyway, but I didn't want him moping around the whole time because he was forced into it.

Just then the phone rang.

" Just think about it Zero!" I said as I ran to get the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hi Yuki. How are you?"

"I'm fine. Are you ready to go to the mall?"

"Yeah… about that. I cant go."

"Why?" the hurt obvious in my voice.

"Andrew from second period math just asked me out! And I said yes!!!" she said (more like screamed) into the receiver.

"That's great. I guess I'll just see you at school. Bye"

" Ok, bye Yuki." I sat there listening to the dial tone for at least a minute before zero called me back into the kitchen.

"Well?" he questioned, looking irritated.

"Yori cant go. She has a date."

"Ok. Now I can stay home." he said with that smug little grin of his.

"Maybe not. I have an ingenious plan…" I said. And it's true, I really did.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Where is she! Zero, what did you do with her!?!?" Kaname said as he rushed in the door. I had to hold back my giggles when he rushed into the living room, panting hard like he was hyperventilating.

"Told ya he'd be here in less than 5 minutes." I said to Zero. " You owe me 5 bucks." Zero handed over the money and grumbled something along the lines of "He only came because you saidI was hurting you…" Now that made me giggle. Kaname just stood there, looking confused. Poor Kaname…

"What's going on here?" he questioned, obviously still confused. Again, poor Kaname.

"I sorta, kinda, maybe…" I couldn't just tell him I only wanted him here to take me to the mall. I love Kaname. I mean, real love. But he only came here when I was hurt now or when he needed to talk to the chairman.

"just tell me Yuki. I wont be mad" he said calmly.

"I called you here to talk me and zero to the mall…" I think what happened next was the most shocking thing ever.

"I'd love to take you. I was just on my way there when I got your call. But I can't hang out with you guys. I'm meeting someone important there." he said calmly.

I was shocked. If I had done that to anyone other than him, I would be in a shit load of trouble. "Ummm, thanks?"

"No problem. But you'd better get ready. I have to meet my friend soon." he said nonchalantly

_____________________________________________________________________________________

"Alright, I'll meet you back here in an hour." Kaname said sweetly. We had just got to the mall, and we were in the food court getting cappuccinos. There was some blond vampire that he met here. I forgot his name. I think it was Takuma. He was pretty cute, but a little to preppy.

"Alright. We'll so you bloodsuckers later." Zero said, the resentment obvious in his voice. Kaname turned on his heals, grabbed Takuma by the arm, and stormed out while Takuma said something along the lines of "But he called us BLOODSUCKERS! I feel highly offended…". Like I said, way to preppy.

Me and Zero walked around a bit, but we only went into a few stores. That's when I saw him.

"Zero look! That boy looks just like you!"

"Really? Where?" he said, looking around. But it was to late. He was already gone.

Zero suddenly had a very… odd look on his face. It was a cross between rage, depression, and loneliness. I hated seeing him with that look. He had it more often and it's getting close to his birthday. I would hate for him to be sad at his party. I'm sure he'll be ok by then. He seemed fine yesterday at church.

I was snapped out of my thought when I noticed Zero was gone, but his look-alike was right behind me…

"Hey." he whispered gently in my ear.

"Ahh!" I screamed. He nearly made my heart stop. That made chuckle. He voice was beautiful. He sounded just like Zero, but softer. Gentler. Happy. I wish Zero would be happy like that.

I just stood there helplessly as he grabbed my hand and led me along. I noticed a lot of things about him as he dragged me from store to store

1. His hair was longer than Zero's

2. He didn't blush about holding my hand

3. He wouldn't let go of my hand

4. He smelled like lavender ( just like Zero)

5. He talked a lot!

6. He was very friendly

7. He was scarier than Zero

Even though he sounded friendly, he wouldn't tell me his name. and he had a very threatening persona about him. All he seemed to do was ask about me. Thankfully, I had to meet Kaname soon, so I used that as an excuses to get away. I tried to be as friendly as possible about leaving.

" I having a nice time and all, but I'm afraid that I have to go meet someone now."

" Oh. Ok, I guess you'd better go." he said, his voice full of obvious hurt.

" I had a lot of fun though! And who knows? We might just see each other again…" I said, trying to sound positive. I really did hope we'd meet again.

" Ok. And, by the way, we will see each other again." he said, in an ominous tone. It sent a chill down my spine. He kissed me swiftly on the lips and walked off into the crowd. I stood there, shocked, for five strait minutes, until someone called my name.

"Yuki! Where have you been?!" Zero said with a very irritated look on his face. I rushed up to him and hugged him. Then I finally felt the tears that had been running down my face.

"Yuki, what's wrong? Are you OK?" I nodded as I dried my eyes. I don't even know why I started crying.

"Come on. We wouldn't want to keep your bloodsuckers waiting…" he said resentfully. I hated when he called them that.

_____________________________________________________________________________________

As me and Zero sat down for dinner ( the chairman was still at a meeting), we talked about what had happened today. Zero told me that I had been the one to run off and he had went to look for me. So he hadn't just disappeared. I tried to tell him about the boy who I was with that day, but he got that look on his beautiful face again.

That night I was thinking about the boy from earlier. It already felt like it happened years ago. I dreamed about him. I dreamed that he had come to my school, but he was much older. It felt odd, having a teenager in a middle school. He was even wearing the uniform. Then I remembered that I was going back to school tomorrow. My tree day weekend was officially over. And I hated school. I always got in trouble and none of my teachers like me. I sooo wish it were summer!
