"Kaname won't you stay? Please just for tonight?"Yuki'd begged him the whole trip not to leave her here alone, not to leave her here with the unknown feelings and problems that were sure to arise. She held his arm tightly and looked up, hoping that acting as cute as possible would somehow get him to take her back home.

"Yuki my love, if I'm here you won't be able to talk, I'll return for you in a week and I promise to call everynight"Kaname gently pulled his arm from her and kissed her gently on the forehead. He could see the disappointment in her eyes but this would be good for her, and he needed her to be good again.

"Now here comes your father Yuki, please do your best to call him that"Kaname pointed to the overly joyous man now running towards them in this nightgown, obviously in the excitement he'd stayed up all night and not bothered to change into something more decent. But that's fine, after all it was early and the day class student were still in bed, and after Kanama left the night class had been dispersed.

"Good bye Yuki, I'll return for you soon but please try to talk with..him"Kaname couldn't bring himself to fully talk about it. He knew very well what he was doing to his sweet Yuki, placing his beloved into the hands of a man who loved her just as much as he did, but however he had full trust in Yuki to get over her affection for him.

"YYYYYUUUUUUUKKKKKKIIIIII!"The chairman's overly excited voice came ringing into her ears as Yuki turned around to greet her adopted father. He didn't waste a moment and instantly started hugging her as tight as he possibly could, all the time slightly sobbing about how much he'd missed seeing her.

"Hi Father"Yuki took Kanames words to heart and generously hugged her adopted father back.

"Yuki it's so good that your home! Come come now! Let's have breakfast! I made your favorite!"The Chairman chooed as he walked Yuki back to the house, all the while entertaining her with stories about what's been going on since she'd last seen him

-Zero-

"What..what's wrong with me today"Zero stood there hunched over the sink in the chairman bathroom, his throat was on fire and felt unnaturally dry, his chest hurt and he couldn't find his balance. The blood tablets had been working for him so there was no reason why he should be feeling this unnatural thirsty.

'Dammit! I need to hurry up and get down stairs, if the chairman comes to check on me he'll force me to drink his blood again'Zero composed himself and swallowed a few blood tablets he had in a pill box. The last time this happened was right after Yuki left and he was so desperate for blood he was forced to drink from the chairman's wrist, there was nothing wrong with his blood, it just wasn't as sweet and tasted like well 'old man'

"I'll just stay in this"Zero walked past his mirror not really caring about his appearance, his pajama pants where classy enough for breakfast and after all who did he have to impress

'It's not like..like she's coming back anytime soon'The thought of Yuki passed through his head but Zero tried his best to ignore it. It hurt him. It hurt whenever he thought of her, her and him. He couldn't take it, the idea that Kuran was with her, every day, every night, every frickin moment was killed him.

"Zero is that you I hear! Come in faster would you I have a guest!"The chairmans voice carried down the hall as Zero's now grumpy footsteps pounded the floor.

-Dining room—

"Father he sounds mad, maybe I should just see him later"Yuki felt her hands shake and her heart began to flutter out of control

'This must be what a heart attack feels like'Yuki couldn't help but grip the table cloth in order to keep from running away as quickly as possible

"Zero good morning!"The chairman greet him and patted the chair next to Yuki as Zero entered through the arched doorway

Their eyes met

1minute…

Silence…

2 minutes..

The chairman nervously sat back down in his seat

3 minutes…

"H..Hi Zero..mo..morning"Yuki stappered to talk to him, it's been so long since she said his name, and a red blush rose to her cheeks in response.

4 minutes…

Zero grabbed the chair near Yuki and moved it across the table as far away as possible. He sat down silently and didn't bother greeting her or the chairman

"Well! Now let us eat!"The chairman began to place food on both of their plates, hoping to get them to loosen up a bit. Yuki nodded and began to slowly pick at the food while she kept her eyes on Zero, he didn't budge an inch, and he didn't pick up his fork or even look at the food in front of him.

' please look at me..please? I missed you'Yuki thoughts pleaded for him to acknowledge her, she didn't want to be a stranger to him, and couldn't deal with the pain of being ignored by him, her best friend, well ex-best friend.

Moments pasted of complete silence and before long the clock signaled for the chairman to leave

"I need to be heading down to the office down, Yuki, Zero please take care of the dishes"The chairman stood up and brushed himself off. Feeling good about himself for putting them together again

"I have class"Zero stood up and attempted to follow the chairman out

"No you don't, you've been excused this week"And with that the chairman disappeared. Zero listened to the sound of Yuki clearing the plates, her feet walked across the floor and the sink began to run.

'Yuki..'Her name echoed in this mind, he saw he begin to wash the dishes alone, not bothering to even ask for his help. But that's how it was before, except he had always helped her anyway.

Zero said nothing as he went to stand beside her, he picked up the dish towel and began to dry the ones she had already washed. He could feel her eyes on him but couldn't bear to look at her and see that she wasn't the same girl.

"How have you been?"Yukis sweet voice, it made his heart stop, and soften, he couldn't be mad at her. He had missed her, he had longed just to see her, there was moments he was depressed enough to think about going out and actually finding her, but what would he have even said. But even now he couldn't bring himself to answer her.

"Are you..thirsty?"Yuki handed him the last dish but think time he didn't dry it, only placed it down on the counter with the towel on top. He wasn't looking at her, he was only looking at the wall, staring into the blankness of it all.

"I guess not.. I heard the blood tablets have been working for you, that's good to hear"Yuki smiled as she stood beside him, hoping that he'd at least look at her.

'Say something..'Zeros mind was pushing him, he had to..say something to her

"I told you if I ever saw you again, I'd kill you"Zero looked at her, his eyes piercing hers. Her eyes were warm and chocolate brown while his were cold and distant.

A strange saddened look played across Yukis face that was followed by a smile

"I know and if you're going to that's fine"Yuki picked up the kitchen knife from the drying rack and placed it near his hand. Of course the knife wouldn't actually kill her, but part of her was curious if Zero would actually .. hurt her

"Where do you want it, in the neck of in the chest"Zero picked up the knife unsure of himself. He didn't know if he even had it in him, of course he should kill her. A pureblood vampire was dangerous and Yuki was no exception.

"In the neck, right here"Yuki pointed her finger against her neck. It'd been a long time since she had even remembered doing anything there, Kaname did occasionally bite her but he was very gentle about it and did it maybe once every few months. But in her daydreaming he felt her nails cut her skin slightly causing little drops of blood to pool at her neck.

"Yu..Yuki"Her name came on in a gap as Zero smack the knife down against the counter, her blood.. her sweet sweet intoxicating blood, the scent of it drove him mad. He could feel his throat drying up and his heart once again starting to tighten. His hands roughly grasped her shoulders pulling her closer until she was pressed against his chest.

"Zero please, nothing has changed.. take what you want"Yuki brushed her hair to the side and leaned into his chest. She missed the way his held her, so tightly that it almost hurt. She let her arms slip around his neck and look up into his now ravenous red eyes that craved for her blood

"No..no Yuki"Zero's voice was strained, it was hard for him to think, to breath to even function at all. But he felt himself holding her tighter and burying his face into her neck.

"Please Zero it's okay"Yuki egged him on, she was waiting hoping anticipating his bite. To feel him breaking her skin and taking draining her. Zero lapped up the blood that had pooled at the cut on her neck, it was sweet, so sweet. It made him needy for more. So he took more. His fangs broke through her skin and deep into her neck, a place he thought he'd never feel again.

'Yuki…Yuki…Yuki?'Zero mind thought of her nothing but her as he began to drink from here until he started to taste something different in her blood. He remembered the first few times he drank her blood, that it tasted like.. like she loved Kuran.. but now.. it was so different so.. shockingly different he removed his fangs from her just from the shock of it.

"Zero what's wrong, are you done already?"Yuki covered her neck feeling the blood now messy on her shoulder. Normally Zero would clean this for her but things had changed, and she didn't know anymore.

"No"Zero pushed her hand aside and dung his fangs back into her neck, tasting her sweet blood again, wanting to make sure he was tasting what he thought he was. Then it happened, he could see them in his head, the thoughts she was having of him, the feelings she was holding onto, the love..the love that wasn't the same as the first time he'd done this so long ago.

"Zero..Zero stop, stop your taking too much"Yuki hadn't been used to this, it'd been forever since she had anyone take her blood. Her light headedness was taking over as Zero removed his fangs, his tongue gently cleaning the blood, stopping the rest from flowing up.

"Sorry"His mouth was covered in blood that had dripped down to his chin, his eyes now returning to normal but with a slightly different look to them. Yuki stood there, waiting unsure of what would happen next. Would he simply just walk away from her? And continue to ignore her for the rest of the day. She watched him carefully as he washed the blood off his face, making sure that there would be nothing for the chairman to see.

"Zero I.. I was hoping we could spend some time together"Yuki looked over at him hoping for a response. But she got one that she hadn't been expecting from him. In one swift moment he had her in his arms pressed up against the wall. His eyes looking directly into hers for a response.

"Yuki"Her name escaped his lips, he placed her hand around his neck and leaned closer to her. His body pressed against hers, reminding her of the moments of comfort they had shared while she was still human. His hand wrapped around her back as his fingers rubbed the fabric of her shirt. He leaned closer, tilting his head, his lips only a new centimeters away from her, his eyes looking into hers testing her, looking for any sign of rejection, but all he saw was shock, confusion, and longing. And finally he asked.

"Is this what you came for?"
