Thank you for the reviews, please enjoy

"This isn't going to work"Yuki sat there on her bedroom floor. Zero had walked her over to her bedroom door and said she'd have the next hour to get ready, at first she thought that an hour was too much but now she realized, maybe it wasn't enough? She'd already spent 20 minutes looking into her closet for something to wear and felt hopeless, she didn't have more than a few white shirts and a dress or two, not to mention the clothing she'd brought with her was nothing short of unflattering.

"Yuki I'll be in the living room, come down when you're done"Zero voice called through her door, followed by his fading footsteps.

'This is harder than I thought..'Yuki

-Aido, towards the north side of town—

"Kaname wouldn't mind if I stopped here, it'd be ashamed not to at least look around again"Aido wandered through the busy streets passing shop at shop hoping something would catch his interest. He'd left as soon as Kaname had ordered him too but now he was bored, what was going to do all day at the academy? Yuki wouldn't let him just go wandering around, he'd end up just stuck inside all day watching her do nothing but stare out the window.

'Maybe I could get a snack..'Aido walked past a café' and saw a waitress in there he liked, she looked young and innocent, with her large eyes and that smile on her face… she would be his girlfriend during his stay, at least then he'd get some time out of that dam house.

'But looks like she's only serving those 5 booths and she's been talking to that couple for a while, maybe she's mouthy'Aido thought about it again, did he really want to have to listen to her go on and on about her day at work? He began to question himself as he walked closer to the café' until he got a good look at the couple she was talking too. Their fingers were laced together on the table as they spoke.

"What the hell is this…"

-Yuki and Zero, booth number 2, waitress Kairi—

"Will that be all sir?"Kairi their waitress asked politely as she finished writing down their order

"Yes"Zero was being oddly polite, the last time they'd been here he was moody, angry, and just over all hard to get along with, but it was different now, he seemed happy and even sociably spoke with their waitress instead of brushing her off and forcing Yuki to apologize for his attitude

"I'll get it ready now then"And with that Kairi left to seat the handsome blonde man who had just walked in

"Are you sure it's okay we came here? I know you really don't like sweets"Yuki cheeks had been pink since they'd came in, not only had Zero insisted on holding her hand all the way here but now with he was smiling, at her, and for her.

"But I like you Yuki, I can tolerate some sugar if I get to spend more time with you"Zero words where shocking to say the least, he was being sweet, and kind, his heart was on the table and spilling out anything and everything that it was holding back for all those years he'd hide his feelings from her.

"Is something wrong?"Zero removed his hand from her, undoing their fingers and placed the back of his hand against her forehead, her cheeks where red and she had shut her eyes.

"I'm not used to you being so…nice and sweet, it's not natural!"Yuki batted his hand away from her feeling as if her heart was going to explode from how fast it was beating now. But as she batted him away he grabbed her hand.

"People treat the things they love this way Yuki"Zero raised her hand and gently brushed his lips over her knuckles before releasing it. Yuki stuffed her hands away into her pockets feeling embarrassed by this whole thing, who knew Zero could be so nice… well just nice? And in public no less

"There's your orders"Kairi came back and placed a large parfait in front of Yuki and a black coffee in front of Zero before excusing herself. It didn't take long for Yuki to begin to eat, she did after all love sweets and could never turn down her favorite dessert at her favorite café' Zero sat there watching her enjoy herself, it had been a long time since he'd seen her eat like this, it was an odd feeling to miss something so simple at watching her eat.

"And here's your rare jelly cake sir"Kairi placed a plate of cake and a cup of tea in the booth behind them and excused herself

"Is it good Yuki?"Zero slipped his coffee, enjoying the bitter taste and how it seemed to taste that much better with Yuki in front of him. Yuki nodded happily, not bothering to really answer, Kaname didn't allow her to have any sweets at their home, so it was the first time in over a year she'd truly had something like this.

-Aido booth 1—

'What the hell is going on here? Their on a date!? A frickin' date!?'Aido picked at his rare jelly cake not feeling like eating anything but knew that he had too in order to sit there. He'd been shocked by what was going on, and had Kaname known about this!?

"Yuki after this let's go shopping"Zeros voice sounded so clam and out of character, Aido was tempted to look back just to make sure it was still the same person.

"But the chairman already has grocery's at home?"

"I wasn't planning on buying groceries"

"Then what?"

"Something special for tonight" and with that Aido spat the tea he'd been drinking all over the table, drawing the attention of the couple sitting at the bar and the waitress who came rushing over to him with napkins in her hand.

"Everything alright sir?"Kairi asked concerned about what had happened, worried she'd made the tea too hot and would now be scolded by her manager

"Nothing I just choked a bit"Aido waved her away trying to whisper so that he would not be discovered

"I'll clean it up sir!"Kairi began to whip the table, keeping Aido in his seat. At first he didn't mind, Kairi was pretty, the kind of pretty that he just liked to mess with, but then he heard them leaving, they walked past his booth and were out the door heading to god knows where

-Ruka and Kain, central fountain—

"That Aido's an idiot"Ruka stood there watching as Aido helplessly got stuck in the café as Zero and Yuki left. His hand now wrapped around her waist, keeping her close to him. If it wasn't for the fact that she was promised to Kaname, this would have bothered her. After all her feeling for Kaname had died long ago when Kain had confessed his deep rooted affection to her.

"Should we follow them"Kain stood by her side as they blended into the crowd of people walking around them, they had done a good job of disguising themselves unlike Aido who looked the same, if not more flamboyant than normal.

"Those were our orders" and with that Ruka and Kain followed behind them, keeping a safe distance so they would not be detected by Aido or Zero.

"They went in there"Kain pointed to a shop on the corner that Zero had brought Yuki into just moments before. They watched from outside to make sure they stayed clear from of them as Zero seemed to be moving through the aisles searching for something. It didn't take long before they came back out, with a large bag in Zeros arms he held the door open for Yuki before once again claiming her hand in his. Ruka and Kain watched as Zero spoke to her, she nodded slightly with a blush on her cheeks before heading away back towards the main road and the academy.

"Let's go, find Aido"Ruka watched as they continued down the main path before turning back to search for Aido, now that Zero and Yuki were heading to a destination they could be watched at, there would be no problem except finding Aido.

-The Chairman—

"What? But Yuki I was going to cook something special!"The Chairmen pounded his feet against the floor as Yuki shooed him out of the kitchen and into the dining room where Zero was sitting by the window. There were cups of hot tea out already to keep them busy while Yuki prepared dinner.

"What did you do today Zero?"The chairman asked as he sipped his tea, it felt nice to have both of his children home again, they weren't actually his children of course but he had never married and found love, but if he had, he imagined he'd have a son and daughter similar to them too.

"I took Yuki on a date, it was fun"Zero answered clamly, knowning very well that after their talk this morning the chairman wouldn't be happy about things.

"I see… do you really love her that much Zero? You do realize the possible consequences of your actions"The chairman looked at Zero, he had the eyes of a father, concerned and loving but with a hint of fear for what his son may do.

"I'd die for her, and if she leaves again, I might as well be dead" His words were true, Yuki had become his life, his obsession, his hobby his meaning for continuing to breath, since his confession he found it was impossible to push his feelings away now. They were free and loving the way it felt to be expressed.

"I could never allow that Zero.. you are my son Zero, just as Yuki is my daughter, no matter what I want nothing more than to have you both alive and well"The chairman placed his cup down and waiting for Zero to look at him. Their eyes met and the chairman made a choice.

"Kaname had asked I make sure Yuki obtains her closure here Zero, he does not intend on having her return to him with her heart still yearning for you…but perhaps I lost my glasses and I was unable to see you two clearly, unable to see and stop any progress your relationship might take"The chairman removed his glasses and placed them on the dinner table, he placed them down beside them on Yuki's chair. He barely made out Zero picking them up and placing them inside his chest pocket

"Then I suppose if Yuki did.. realize her true happiness is with you then, there would have been no way for me to prevent it" The chairman looked over at Zero, or at least the blurry image of Zero.

"Chairman.."Zero couldn't find the words to express how he felt, how much he appreciated this chance, and the indirect blessing

"However that begin said I am Yukis father and still want the things for her that a father wants"There was a slight silence that was broken by the sound of Yuki mumbling, no doubt because she had just burnt something.

"Just stay out of her room at night alright Zero?"The Chairman had been so caught up in his thoughts and blurred vision that he could barely make out Zero nodding yes

"Dinners ready! I made omletes"Yuki walked into dinning room holding a tray with a large omlete on top.

"Oh that looks wonderful Yuki! My daughters a chef!"

-Aido, Ruka and Kain, main lawn—

"I can't hear a thing!"Aido said as they looked up at the lite room assuming it would be where they were now having dinner. They had wandered about looking for Aido and finally found in back at the academy look around.

"Never mind, the chairman is there, there's no threat"Ruka turned away from the chairmans house and began to walk away back towards town

"But Kaname ordered me to make sure that Yuki wasn't in danger!"Aido sat down, feeling the need to server out Kanames orders to the end, even if it meant spending the night in a tree somewhere near

"The only thing she's currently in danger of it being forced into what sounds like father daughter night, we'll stay in the old dormitory until we smell blood, Kanames main concern seems to be him biting her"Ruka pointed out from the conversation she'd had with Kaname, just hours after he'd sent Aido, Aido never really did listen to him when it came to details.

"Why? Yuki's strong enough to take him now isn't she? She could kill me now if she wanted too.."Aido mumbled that last part feeling ashamed of himself, but what did he expect? To take on a pureblood meant death. He watched as Kain and Ruka moved away towards the dormitory, with his hand placed on Rukas side Kain explained to Aido who now walked beside them.

"Because, nothings more arousing than taking blood from your lovers neck"

Please review, how do you feel about Zero's character now? If he's too sentimental please let me know
