Author's rambling space: I love it. Three day vacation on my first week. And another one for the next. Yay me! :D

AidoRockz - He already got them back. And I put in a dream-y/flashback-y kind of format. :D

queenofspades19 - Well, it's summer for you guys. But our summer vacation here just ended and we are officially back at school. :D

fan-of-fantasy forever - Actually, it also took me a long time to figure out what am I going to write. This chapter was supposed to be posted last week, but guess I tend to forget what I'm going to write. And we are not prunes, Aidou. That's an insult. :D

xXmoonlightangelXx - That's because he doesn't like her. He loves her. Maybe this chapter will explain... Just maybe... I'm not really sure myself. :D

XxbLue_kIttYxX - ...??

Thank you so much for the reviews. I really appreciate it. :D

~ I don't own Vampire Knight.

~ I forgot to say to the previous chapter. I did not own the title. It's actually a song title for one of the songs from the Vampire Knight Guilty OST.

~ I don't own the title. It's from a song from Pency Prep's Heartbreak In Stereo. Too bad they're already disbanded.

Chapter 19: Trying to Escape the Inevitable

"What do you want to know?" Kaname-sama asked, snapping me out of my thoughts.

"Who is this 'he' that you're all talking about?" I asked.

"Do you know Nejiro Rei?" He said, shifting his position. Nejiro Rei: a noble class vampire, a social climber, a complete jerk.

"Yes." I said. I know he's a complete jerk and all but why would they talk about him? "What did he exactly do?"

"2 years ago, Yori used to be in a relationship with him. But Rei messed up and their relationship came to an end." Kaname-sama said.

"But why would she be scared of him? Did he do something to traumatize her?" I asked. Kaname-sama heaved a sigh and crossed his legs.

"You see, Yori loved him very much. But Rei, well, he's just toying around with her." Kaname-sama began. He looked at the ceiling as he told me Yori's story.

"Rei had Yori on his finger. He made her believe that he was truly in love with her. Then one day, Yori decided to pay him a visit in his office. But when she opened the door, she saw him cheating on her. So she ran out of the building with Rei running after her to ask for an apology. Yori, being blinded by what she believed is love, forgave him. So Rei continued to to play with Yori. He asked her to do many heavy things. But the heaviest he asked for was her blood. Yori always tell Yuuki things about her love life and other stuff. And so, she had told Yuuki about what Rei asked for her. Yuuki said to never ever give her blood because she's got a feeling that Rei is up to no good. Yori, being naive, decided to not listen to Yuuki and gave Rei her blood. Rei became addicted to the taste and asked for it everyday. Until one time, Yori was hospitalized for blood loss. Yuuki told Rei to stay away from Yori and never come near her again. But once Yori was out from the hospital, she decided to go to Rei's house. But she wasn't expecting what he did to her.

So she came to his house to once again give her blood. Rei sank his fangs greedily on Yori's neck and began to drink her blood. But Yori noticed that he was taking too much so she decided to push him away but he didn't move an inch. She tried again but still, he didn't let go. So she began to scream for help. Lucky for her, Zero was near from his house so, he ran to his house and pried Rei away from Yori. Rei was locked up for being a threat and Yori was once again hospitalized. Unfortunately, Rei was set free after a month because of his high status in the society.

With his freedom, he ran after Yori and kidnapped her. We found her after a week and Rei was once again imprisoned. And again, he escaped. He ran after Yori and this time around, he attempted to murder her. But that also failed because he was stopped by Zero. To avoid a third chance, we locked him up in the Hunter Association's prison cell to secure Yori's safety. And we also advised Yori to go out of country to forget everything that has happened since she doesn't want her memories to be erased. And after a year of staying in America, she came back here having with her past buried in the back of her mind. And now that Rei is back, that part has re-surfaced, bringing back traumatizing memories for Yori."

I feel like breaking Rei's neck right now. No man, vampires included, is allowed to do that to a woman. Due to my anger, I accidentally froze a quarter of Kaname-sama's room. I'm... I'm so angry!! Women shouldn't be treated like that! It's.... It's...

"Aidou, calm down. Zero is hunting for him right now." Kaname-sama said. I took a deep breaths to regain my cool. I'm just so angry.

"Is that all you're going to ask?" Kaname-sama said once I was calm.

"Yori-chan said about me saving her from a level E 8 years ago. How come I don't remember ever doing that?" I asked. It's bothering me for quite sometime now and it's better to get the answers I want now that I have the opportunity.

"I don't think I should be telling the reason to you." Kaname-sama said. I frowned.

"Why not?" I asked in an almost whiny way.

"Because you were the one who told me not to tell you the moment you ask." Kaname-sama said. Wait... I said that?

"I said that? How come I don't remember anything?" I asked. I'm confused. I'm one of the vampires who has a photographic memory. So how come I don't recall anything about this things?

"You really want to know?" Kaname-sama asked.

"Yes." I said, firm with my answer.

"Well then, don't blame me if you remember later tonight." He said. Huh? Before I could ask, Kaname-sama spoke. "You see, 6 or 7 years ago, you saved Yori from a level E when you 'skipped' your duties. Then when Yuuki and I left the academy with you, Ruka, Kain, Shiki and Rima, I asked you to keep an eye on Yori. I don't really understand why you asked me to erase your memory of ever meeting Yori but my hypothesis is that you began to develop mutual feelings for her and that you want to run away from it."

Okay. I'm shocked. By mutual feelings, you mean, I love... loved her? A mere human who turns into a prune after quite sometime? And I am Aidou Hanabusa. I don't run away from ANYTHING.

"That's just my hypothesis. I'm not really sure but that's my best bet." Kaname-sama said. Okay, I need proof. And the only proof aside from asking Yori is-

"Will I ever get those memories back?" I asked. -my memory itself.

"If you want you can get them back the moment you sleep tonight." Kaname-sama said. "Anything else?"

"No... That would be all. Thank you." I said as I stood up.

"You're welcome. Oh, and please do keep an eye on Yori-chan. We don't want anything bad happen to her." Kaname-sama said.

"I promise I will keep an eye on her. And I will give my life to protect her." I said and left his house. I'm not making up any promises. That one is a vow and I will never break it, in love or not.

Author's rambling area: Just like I promised, I talked. :D

I have a question. Am I going too fast or too slow? Let me know so I can *try to* fix it. :D

I hope you guys like the chapter enough to leave me reviews. 'Kay? :D So please review! :D

Oh, and for clarifications, this one is another flashback. This time, it's about what Kaname and Aidou talked about. Mhm, 'kay. We will be back to the orignal format on the next chapter. :D
