Vampire Knight

Chapter 04: Acceptance

Sorry this chapter is late! I have had a very rough week with finals and I've decided to re-watch "Code Geass" for some reason. I started working on this the day I posted the last chapter! Thanks again for the reviews! By the way: Have any of you read the Manga ending for Vampire knight yet? I cried... I was satisfied, but still wanted a lot of answers about the end and what happens after it... I'm sad 8( what did you think of it? The manga was recently licensed so it is taken down on a LOT of sites, but you can read it on mangawall until you can purchase the manga ;) And thank you for all the reviews so far!

Vocabulary:

*Yokode Kyuuse: A Japanese style tea pot with a handle on the side, typically made with a built in strainer. Tea is brewed for less than a minute depending on the size of the pot

Yuuki was warm. The source of her warmth lay next to her. She was just starting to wake up with the sun light on her face. She cuddled into whatever it was next to her that was so warm. There was a 'thud' and the bed shook. Immediately followed by another 'thud' that shook the bed.

"Get up NOW!" a loud voice demanded. Yuuki opened her eyes a looked to who woke her up.

"Chariman?!" Her voice cracked. She looked down at the situation he was witnessing. She was sleeping in Zero's bed with him, she looked a mess, her uniform was scattered across the floor, including his uniform.

"ZERO!" He yelled and Zero finally opened his eyes to the same situation.

"Are you two having sex?!" Zero jumped up out of the bed and against the wall and made an "uagh" sound and instantly winced from his shoulder pain.

Kaien stood with his hands on his on his hips. "One of you say something!" Zero and Yuuki shot glances at each other. "It's not what it looks like!"

"Yuuki!" Kaien yelled. "Grab your clothes and wait in your room!" Yuuki got out of bed and did as she was told.

Kaien glared at Zero. "Sit down" He instructed. "What did you do to my poor sweet Yuuki?!" Zero's face turned red. He did violate her in a way, but not how the Chairman was thinking.

"You deflowered her?!" Hey yelled.

"No!" Zero defended himself, "it's not like that!"

"Then please tell me what it is like!"

Zero was embarrassed and coughed up what happened, "I was having a hunger fit last night. Yuuki... offered me to drink from here... so, I... did." Kaien calmed down.

"Why was she in your bed then?"

Zero sighed, "I didn't... want to be alone last night. As far as I know Yuuki still has her... 'flower' as you put it" Kaien was satisfied with that answer.

"If it happens again Zero, I won't be as kind about it." he said with a hint of complete seriousness and left to speak to Yuuki.

She said the same thing as Zero. "Just make sure it doesn't happen again, Yuuki." Kaien started walking to the door, "Just because he can stop when we needs to, doesn't mean he will be able to stop drinking next time. I cannot allow you to put yourself in that sort of danger."

It was painful, the amount of blood that covered the room. Going outside was even more useless. The ground was covered with deep snow the was dyed crimson red. Glowing red eyes stared at her and growls grew around her.

Yuuki let out a scream as Kaien shook her awake. "Yuuki? Yuuki..." She opened her eyes. "It's okay." He rubbed her hair out of her face and she sat up,

"Chairman, what's wrong?" He looked concerned and his eyes poured into Yuuki's. She pretended to not know what was happening.

"You have that dream again?" Kaien saw through her lie but she shook her head. "I'm okay, really," She stretched and looked at her watch.

"It's this late already?!" Yuuki was resting after dinner but she didn't actualy intend on sleeping for a few hours. 'My body probably needed it...' she thought lightly.

"I let you sleep as long as you can, Aidou-san is waiting for you in the leaving room." Yuuki stood up and grabbed her blazer and put it on.

"Since Zero is injured, he can't come with you. Souen-san will be working with Kain-san. Aidou-san will be with you tonight." Yuuki nodded and walked out of the room.

She walked into the living room and bowed to him. They walked out of the house together and instead of meeting with the other group, they walked around together.

"Are you feeling alright?" Aidou asked.

"Yes, why do you ask?" Yuuki gave the vampire a sideways glance. Aidou held out his hand in front of Yuuki, a bandage was on it. She flung her hand to her neck to cover up Zero's fang marks.

"What are you doing?!" She yelled at him with a blush over her face.

"Who's fang bites are those?" He asked already knowing the answer. Yuuki blushed and tried grabbing the bandage from him but he lifted it above his head and even with her jumping up, she couldn't reach.

"Give it back!" She demanded but he kept his arm in the air. After she tried jumping again Aidou reached his arm around her waist and pulled her body into his.

"You shouldn't let other vampires bite you, Kaname-sama won't approve of it" He put the bandage back on her neck and let her go. She blushed and stomped off ahead of him. He allowed a scowl over his face.

"Kurosu Yuuki, wait!" He called after her.

It was almost the end of their shift when Yuuki and Aidou met with the other group at the fountain. Akatsuki still tall as ever, stood next to Ruka. Her dark red eyes glared at Yuuki.

"Did you see anything?" Aidou asked the two others.

"Nothing." Ruka replied. "Are you okay, Hanabusa?" Yuuki looked at Aidou then back to Ruka.

"Of course," he questioned, "Why wouldn't I be?" She shot a glance towards Yuuki.

"Your partner tonight," Ruka's glare deepened. "has a history of injured partners and uselessness." She stated and loved the hurt face Yuuki made.

"Wha-" Yuuki tried speaking. Akatsuki looked at Ruka with and angry face. "Stop it Ruka." He demanded,

"Just a useless human that Kaname-sama favors," Yuuki took a step back behind Aidou, "that can't even keep her partner safe." A smile crossed her lips.

"Ruka!" Aidou yelled at her. She looked at him with an almost puzzled face.

"What?" She looked from Akatsuki to Hanabusa. "You don't agree with me?"

"No, I don't." Aidou's electric eyes scanned for Yuuki's face. She was standing almost completely behind him with her head down. "Ruka, you are wrong." Aidou turned to face Yuuki and put a hand on her shoulder. She didn't move.

"She tries hard. For a human she has done a lot of good protecting the student's at this academy for a few years now. She does a damn good job. Leave her alone." Ruka scoffed at the blond.

"Why would you defend a human, Hanabusa?" her voice was almost lethal.

"Ruka. We know what this is about." He put an arm around Yuuki's shoulder and started to lead her away from the other vampires. "You aren't saying this because you actually think it. You begrudge Kaname's recognition of her. Don't act like a child that's hungry for attention." He ran a hand loosely over the top of Yuuki's head. An adorable smile crossed his face as he looked at her.

"Let's get going. I'll walk you to your dorm." His voice was soothing and even his eyes were smiling. Yuuki followed closely to him as he kept his arm wrapped around her shoulders. After they walked out from some trees and started down a path Yuuki stopped.

"Aidou-senpai." She only stared at the ground, "Are you thirsty?" He loosened his grip around her and a small surprised sound came from his throat.

"You're going to finally let me drink from you?" his voice was practically sparkling. Yuuki let out a giggle and playfully pushed him away from her. Her face flashed a bit of happiness but then turned back down to a sad expression.

"I meant," she started walking again and he followed her, "Would you like to come in for some tea?" she asked more clearly. She pulled him along with her until they arrived at the chairman's house. All the lights we off so she quietly, unlocked the door and had Hanabusa come inside. She locked it and put a finger to her lips to signal him to be quiet.

She lead him to the kitchen and closed the kitchen doors behind them. She felt around the wall for the light switch. She flipped it on and the kitchen lit up. "Please sit down. I'll make the tea now. Do you want any snacks with it?"

She walked over by the sink and pulled out a yokode kyuusu*. It was clear with black birds painted on the sides. It was on the larger side and looked to serve many people. She opened a canister of fresh green tea leaves and put a large spoonful into the kyuusu's built in strainer. She moved it to their counter top electric water heater and pressed the button to dispense the hot water that steamed as it feel into the teapot. She filled the kyuusu completely and set it down on the table in between Aidou and where she would be sitting.

"No thank you, just the tea please." He smiled which Yuuki didn't notice. She grabbed two small tea cups from the cupboard that were pure white with matching black birds on them. She set them next to the kyuusu and sat down across from Aidou. Her face still looked unpleasant and like she was holding back some tears.

"Are you alright?" his voice was soft. Yuuki let out a solace smile and she put her face to rest on her fist. She grabbed the handle of the kyuusu with the other hand, gave it a little shake and poured two cups of tea. She set the kyuusu back down and pushed one of the little teacups over to him.

"I'm sorry if what Ruka said to you upset you at all." He sounded sincere in his apology. Yuuki shook her head back and forth.

"It's..." She began, "It's true what Souen-senpai was saying." She took a sip of her tea. It was bitter but delicious. Aidou shook his head.

"You're wrong. Both of you are." He said plainly. Yuuki looked him in the eyes.

"Have you ever heard the story of when Kaname-senpai and I first met?" He raised an eyebrow to her expecting her to continue while taking a sip of his tea.

"My first memories are of him." She said. "He saved me when I was only five years old. I only remember snow, and it being stained with blood. A Level E was trying to kill me." She and rested her head on the table. "Kaname-senpai saved me from that Level E. That is my first memory."

"You don't know what happened before that?" he asked her back.

"No... but recently... when I see a Level E... all I can see is the one from then. It's been terrifying... all these Level E's remind me of then. I just freeze up." She said with the most heart breaking look on her face. Aidou felt something break in him. He stood up, walked to Yuuki and wrapped his arms around her.

"Aidou-senpai! W-w-what are you doing?" she protested but he just hugged more tightly around her. He nestled his head in the nape of her neck.

"You looked like you needed a hug." he said and breathed in her scent. She smelled sweet, like flowers. "It will be okay. No vampire will ever hurt you as long as you have your friends around you." He felt Yuuki relax in his arms. He could hear the blood flowing through her body. He listened to her beating heart for a few quiet minutes before her let got of her.

"Thank you for the tea, but the sun will be coming up soon. I need to leave." he lightly spoke into her ear. Yuuki walked him to the door. She stood on the porch with him and wished him a good night. As she watched him walk back to his dorm a little pang rushed through her.

She enjoyed his company and Aidou somehow knew exactly what to say. He knew how to help her feel better. She wanted to do something for him, to return all of his kindness. She sat back down and drank most of the tea in silence before going to bed.

The screaming girls all crowded around trying to push to the gate. It was that time in the afternoon when the Night Class left their dorm to head to the classrooms.

"Stand back!" Yuuki yelled at the girls but they kept shoving and pushing until the gate opened. All the students lined up evenly and bowed to the Night Class. Zero would usually stand glaring at the class while Yuuki searched around for fangirls that were up to no good, but it had only been a few days since his injury so today Yuuki was working alone.

Aidou who normally flirted with the Day Class students this time stayed quiet. He and Yuuki's eyes met for a moment and he let a smile out for her. She smiled back and nodded back to him. Kaname spotted Yuuki and stopped to speak with her.

His eyes were full of bleakness as he looked at the younger girl. "Yuuki," he said, "Are you free tonight?"

A blush crossed over her face as she looked at him. "Yes, Kaname-senpai" she smiled while fan girls screamed in jealousy.

"Will you meet me tonight please?" He asked and played with a little of her hair, smoothing it out in between his fingers.

"Of course Kaname-senpai."a small smile crossed his face. He started stepping away and let her hair slide out of his fingers.

"I'll see you then." He looked around for the certain right hand man of his. "Aidou." he said in an ordering voice, "Help Yuuki." Hanabusa bowed to him then walked to Yuuki's side. With a loud 'kyaa' from his fan girls, Yuuki stood in front of him with her arms stretched out wide.

"It's almost curfew!" She yelled while each of the girls shot daggers from their eyes to hers,"Return to your dorms immediately!" She called at them, but they just kept pushing on her to get to Aidou.

"Why do you get him all to yourself?!" one yelled and others chimed in with jealousy.

Aidou put a hand on Yuuki's shoulder and spoke up to the girls, "Now, now~ be nice~" his voice sounded more childish than he had ever spoken to Yuuki with. Different versions of 'Yes Idol-senpai!'

"Now be good girls and go back to your dorms~" He called to them and winked. Most of them swooned, bowed, and walked away in groups, chattering about how lucky Yuuki was for his and Kaname's Attention. Once most of the girls had left Yuuki turned to Aidou.

"Thank you," she smiled at him, "It's hard doing this by myself." She rubbed her hand on the back of her neck and let out a sigh.

"Is Kiryuu Zero expected to be back anytime soon?" He asked and shooed away a small group of girls that were still standing and talking.

"Not for another week. The chairman wants him to rest as much as possible." With the remaining girls gone it was time for Yuuki to go the Kaien's home for dinner. Before she could excuse herself Aidou already started walking away from her.

"Don't forget to meet Kaname-sama tonight." He said and continued walking back to the classrooms.

Yuuki stepped down the walk way to the fountain like Kaname asked. She wore a mid-thigh length white dress with a small black belt wrapped around her waist. He heart beat sped up as soon as she say his lenghty figure standing by the fountain. He was in his school uniform and his cool redish brown eyes met hers.

The night wasn't especially cold but there was a slight chill in the air. The moon was high in the sky with clouds covering most of the skyso the stars weren't really visable like they usually were. Kaname's eyes looked Yuuki's dress up and down.

"You look beautiful, Yuuki." his voice was amiable.

Yuuki let a smile cross her face, "Why did you want to meet, Kaname-sama?" he reached his hand out to her and motioned for her to sit next to him on the side of the fountain. Once he sat doen she joined him but kept a least a foot in distance between them.

"Yuuki," his cool voice broke the silence of the night, "Are you afriad of me?" Yuuki shook her head no.

"How could I be afraid of Kaname-senpai?" she smiled and looked at the stone walk way the continued past them.

"Kaname-senpia, why did you ask to meet with me?" she asked again.

"I am going away for a while." he saidsimply. Yuuki's eye shot open and she looked at the older man.

"What?" she said in a shocked voice, "Where are you going?" her voice was shaking, if Kaname left, would she still be safe? Whoe would be in control of the Night Class? Thoughts and questions pour through her mind and she wasn't expecting to hear his answers.

"I can't tell you. I'll be gone at least a few months though. In that time I asked Aidou to be in charge and look after you as well." A small smirk crossed his face, "you'll be safe, don't worry. I'll return as soon as I am finished. I'll be leaving tonight." She stood up and gave a small bow, "Get back to your dorm safe, Yuuki." she watched him walk away in awe.
