Chapter Two

Bring me color; bring me light…

"Z-zero" she mumbled sleepily as she rolled over and hit something surprisingly warm. That warm something grunted and she squealed back in surprise. Her charming brown eyes came face to face with a pair of very sleepy lilac ones and the lips of that said face mumbled,

"Yuuki, it's me…" He sat up and pulled her into his arms as he stared at her dumbly, "Did you forget that you came crawling into my bed last night claiming you couldn't sleep?"

He gently laid her back down on the bed. He rubbed the sleep out his eyes as he added,

"And Yuuki…"

"Yes Zero!" She beamed, sleep leaving her. She'd slept the most wonderful sleep she's had in a while. She felt his bare legs rub her and blushed. D-did Zero sleep…naked?

"You're a bed hogger. I think it's best you know."

"N-no I'm not!" She cried out, embarrassed as she realized she was completely cocooned in the sheets.

"I didn't say it was bad. I said it's best you know." He said as he bonked her playfully on the head.

He rolled over then got out of bed. She stared profoundly at his bare rump.

"Zero! Why are you naked?" She cried in horror. Did we…do that?... She felt a blush creep on her face as she thought back to the way Zero eyed her lustily as he came. She would never forget that face…that side of him. He was so vulnerable…so needy…for her! And strangely, she liked it. She kinda hoped they did do that…last night. She giggled nervously.

"You mean you really don't remember coming into my room at like two in the morning, bawling, to tell me you couldn't sleep before you just crawled into my bed without a second thought?"

"N-no! I don't remember this…but that doesn't explain why you're naked."

He pulled on a pair of boxers totally unfazed by his nudity as his toned rump created quite a view for her.

"And bawled? I don't bawl Zero! And…and…" She said as she continued to pull the sheets over her face so only her lovely, yet worried eyes showed.

"Yuuki, it's not like you haven't seen me naked before…we did have sex." He stated nonchalantly as he turned around.

"That's different" She mumbled as she pulled the blanket over her head to hide her blush. He sighed but couldn't help but smile at her cuteness.

"Thank you" He mumbled as he looked away.

"…For crawling in bed with you?" She asked, unprepared for those words.

"No…for the other day…you didn't have to do that…" He glanced back at her as he raised his voice, "You don't ever have to do that again ok….if you don't want to. I was just…really…selfish that day. And I'm sorry."He trailed off. He never saw her face soften as he continued to eye the floor. He was sorry…but he sure as hell liked it.

"Zero, I'm happy you let me take care of you now." She whispered as she thrust the sheets off her body to embrace him. He hesitated before he held her back. I know I don't deserve to say it…but I love you Yuuki… He rested his chin on her head, allowing himself to enjoy the feel of her in his arms…where he believed…she belonged. But to Kuran, that was a different story.

She buried her small head in his chest. He smelled of old spices and a sort of spicy musky that intoxicated her when they united. Oh yes, she'd come to love that smell of his, and those eyes of his, and this touch of his, and oh lord…that kiss of his. If she'd known sooner…

…but then she remembered.

"School!"

She scrambled out of his arms, reluctant as he was to let her go. She ran around his room, picking up his clothes and hoping that maybe she'd left a pair of her own somewhere under them. He watched her in secret amusement. And when she gave up, slumped disappointed to the floor with that pout she gave him that night…the one he couldn't resist, he laughed heartily as he said slowly,

"Yuuki…it's Saturday."

She stared at him in disbelief before she laughed along with him.

"Oh yea…it is Saturday. Heheh."

He shook his head as he walked over to his closet and pulled out a complete outfit for her to wear. She took the clothes gratefully as she questioned,

"Why do you have a pair of my clothes in your closet Zero?"

She remembered how Yori once told her men like to keep girls clothes after they sleep with them to smell them. She blushed as she waited for him to answer.

"Last night, when you were fast asleep, I went to the bathroom and decided I would go ahead and get your clothes…it would be suspicious if you left my room in your pajamas."

He muttered as he pulled his own shirt and tie on. She quickly dressed and helped him fix his tie.

"Thanks Zero!" She chimed as she straightened him up.

"Yea whatever" He mumbled as her little fingers touched too many parts of his body for his comfort. He could feel the blood pooling down there. And when those little nimble fingers reached for his belt he grabbed them and started to pull her to the door.

"Z-zero!" She stuttered surprised.

"We're gonna be late for breakfast." He said as he shut the door behind her. Being in that room alone with her with such a need was not a good idea, especially after what happened last time. The thought of confronting Kaname again made his heart clench. It was obvious that the past two weeks have been a stretch in the vampire's patience. It's already bad enough she jumped in bed with me…so damn cute like that last night.

He never let her hand go as he dragged her to the kitchen. With at least one hand preoccupied…maybe I won't change my mind and turn around…

They were instantly hit with a whiff of blackberry pancakes, grits, coffee, and god knows whatever else.

"Good morning, my two lovely children!" Headmaster Kaien sang as he ushered for them to sit down.

"You two slept in a little longer than usual today. Has the day class been causing much trouble lately?"

"Umm not really…" Yuuki said as she stuffed her mouth with pancakes. Zero watched her cheeks stretch to accommodate her food with narrowed eyes. He felt his limbs go weak as he remembered the epitome of his manliness in that same mouth. So warm…so wet…so wicked. He choked on his coffee as his hands sprang to his lap, to hold the traitor down.

"You ok son?" Headmaster asked worriedly. He eyed Zero suspiciously. Zero's been acting quite strange lately…and Yuuki's been overly happy the past few days. He wondered what could have happened between the two that would shift their personalities like this. Well it could really be anything…except that...couldn't be that. I don't even think Yuuki really knows much about sex anyway. She's still very young. But Zero…well. I can't really vouch for the boy…maybe I'll see if Kaname's seen the same change as well…

"Fine." The boy said rather strained as he eyed the rest of his food with disgust.

"You've lost your appetite?" Headmaster asked.

"Yea…I guess." He mumbled as Yuuki stared him down.

"What?" Zero asked her, taking his annoyance out on her by accident.

"Zero! You need to eat. You haven't been eating much lately…" She rambled as she continued to scoff down her food.

That's because I've been hungry for other things… Zero thought as he stared down at her creamy thighs pocking out from under her skirt. He growled low. She put her hands up in surrender as she stopped nagging him and continued eating.

Another thing…Yuuki's been surprisingly hungrier these days…what could possible make a young girl so hungry? Headmaster thought as he eyed her nearly empty plate…and the nearly empty table.

When Zero was sure his…boner…had died down he said to everyone,

"Well, I'm going into town today."

A deep voice pierced through the room, surprising everyone till they turned to eye the dark figure in the doorway, dominating it with strength and authority.

"Leaving so soon…Kiryu?" Kaname asked smoothly as he pulled his hands out his white pants pockets and fixed his own tie.

"Kaname senpai!" Yuuki cried alarmed.

"Good morning Kaname" Headmaster sang as he stood to get a glass and some blood tablets. Kaname continued to eye the silver headed boy, piercing his lilac eyes with his.

"Such a shame…I was hoping we could chat." Kaname continued through the silence as he walked past the surprised silver haired boy to stand before Yuuki.

Kaname reached down a hand and cupped Yuuki's face.

"Kaname-sama?" She stuttered as his thumb grazed her cheeks.

"I'm happy you feel better now Yuuki" He whispered as he planted a kiss on her forehead.

"I suppose Kiryu has been taking good care of you…these days…"

She blushed profusely as her eyes looked everywhere but at him. She nodded before she said with certainty,

"He has"

Kaname let his hand slide down her neck and rest on her shoulder. She bit her lip as she tried not to moan out. Was she a slut…because that felt so good.

"I'm happy…that's what he's here for." He replied softly, this time addressing that comment to Zero himself.

"Well Kiryu, I don't want to take up any more of your time. But I'm sure you won't mind if I steal your sweet damsel from you…to spend the day with her. How do you like the sound of that, Yuuki?"

He asked as he showered her face with loving glares.

"Umm…" She said as she watched the anger flash in Zero's eyes. Why is he so mad?

Kaname smiled at his anger. Before he pulled Yuuki up out her seat to sit in it, then rested her gently on his lap. Her whole body got warm and flushed and she found it hard to look him straight in the eye.

"And what do you have planned?" Zero asked careful and slow through his teeth.

"Well…I wanted it to be a surprise—for Yuuki. But if you must know…how about you ask Headmaster Kaien…I'm sure he'd love to tell you."

Kaname replied slyly as he ran his hands up and down Yuuki's arms.

Zero turned to leave. He would not be provoked any further by this…this bloodsucker.

"How well did you sleep last night Zero?" Kaname asked as Zero reached the doorway. He froze. He knows? He felt his heart beat rapidly as he turned around to stare into crimson eyes. His fist clenched and he struggled not to lash out at the pureblood.

"It's none of your damn business." He said carefully as he walked out, ignoring Yuuki's agitated cry.

"Don't be rude Zero!" She shouted after him as he disappeared.

"I'm sorry Kaname-sama. He's been acting strange this morning." She said as she slyly tried to scramble out of his lap. But when he firmly placed his hands on her hips, she knew she wasn't going anywhere anytime soon.

"Here you are!" Headmaster said as he returned to place a glass of stunning red liquor on the table in front of the two beautiful people he'd come to love. Headmaster searched the room with his eyes before he asked confused,

"Where did Zero go?"

Kaname didn't answer as Yuuki explained the whole ordeal to her adoptive father. He watched Zero from the window walk off the campus with narrowed eyes.

You will not be able to run away from me, Kiryu. To have tasted sin…my, how I envy you…

Kaname thought as he ran his fingers through his love's hair.

"Are you two ready to leave now?" Headmaster asked excitedly. Yuuki stared back questioningly.

"Leave…where?"

"Oh, don't worry Yuuki. We're gonna have lots of fun." Kaname whispered in her ear as he carried her off bridal style. She shivered in his hands but didn't bother complain when they left the room.

You're gonna love it…
