Read it at fanfiction.net

Helloooo!

So, um, this is myfirst fic, so please don’t kill me it it’s not that good ;A; I’m trying my bestto make this work! I’ve never written something like this, I’m more into drawingthan writing and English isn’t my first language, so…please bear with me ^^;

This story actuallystarts after Chapter 23, after the whole Shizuka thing but before Rido. Rido isnot going to be in this story, nor is the rest of the manga after Chapter 23.So Zero is still drinking Yuuki’s blood, hasn’t drank from Kaname…yet XD And…well,yeap, kind of an AU because Yuuki is a born human in this story and Kaname wasborn from Haruka and Juri. Also, Ichiru is still alive *happy tear*

The wonderful charactersof Vampire Knight belong to Matsuri Hino. Only this story is by me :3 I hopeyou like it and please tell me what you think about it! I’m not sure how oftenI will update, but I will try to do it as regularly as possible. Thanks forreading and…enjoy

Also, for some reason some of the spaces between words disappeared o.o They are normal at ff.net, so…yeap xD

 

 

Chapter One

“A date?!” Zero nearly choked on his water as he placed hisglass back on the table before he could break it or something. He turned tolook at the short girl behind him who was holding a big bouquet of beautifulflowers, mostly consisting on roses with both her tiny hands. Her blushing facewas hidden behind the big arrangement and Zero had to take it from her hands tosee her expression, which quickly turned the other way as it was revealed. Zerolooked into the flowers and grabbed the little note attached to one of them,careful not to damage any of the surely expensive bouquet. He didn’t like it atall, but he knew Yuuki would be mad with him if he were to ruin any of these orthe many other flowers that had been crowding Yuuki’s room for the past month. 

Around 5 weeks ago Yuuki had gotten a small letter from “asecret admirer”. After that, countless gifts and love letters had reached herdoor everyday, all of them from the same secret person. At first, Zero hadblamed Kaname for this, thinking all these expensive stuff could only beafforded by the pureblood, but to his surprise, he had not only denied anyconnection with the abundant gifts but had also insisted that Zero would keephim informed about the whole matter.

He had only agreed to it because he was worried of who mightbe sending all this to Yuuki, and he wanted her safe. So everyday he would meetwith Kaname and inform him of everything. The pureblood had also begun to lookinto the case. A couple of weeks ago he had assigned a guard to keep an eyearound the school in hopes that he would catch this “secret admirer” in the actof delivering more of his presumptuous gifts. But all they had managed untilnow was to scare the poor delivery guy who apparently knew nothing about thesource of the packages.

Both Zero and Kaname were about to send spies all over thetown when Yuuki had practically ordered them to stop overreacting.

“I appreciate that you two are worried about me, but I don’twant you to be” Yuuki had told them when she had finally managed to get thecourage to speak to Kaname, right after finding out he was planning onassigning her a private guardian. “Especially not you, Kaname-senpai.”

Zero and Kaname couldn’t help but worry over her. The wholeShizuka mess had left them kind of paranoiac. Who knew what kind of sickbastard could be trying to get to her. What if it was a trap? What if it was avampire? What if they wanted to hurt her by luring her out like this? What ifthey wanted to get to her to then get to Kaname? What if she got kidnapped oreven killed! Or what if…they were just overreacting? What if it was just anormal guy who had feelings for her and just happened to have a considerableamount of money to buy her presents? …Nah, that couldn’t be it.

“I am capable of taking care of myself and if I ever findsomething suspicious I promise will let you know, okay? But stop worrying so much,please”

After that, both vampires had kept in touch through thephone and still trying to find out who this guy was and why he was so hard to track,while making sure Yuuki wouldn’t know they were still doing it. They justcouldn’t take any chances. If it was indeed something harmful and Yuuki gothurt, they would never forgive themselves.

Days had gone by and the gifts kept coming, its sender stillkeeping himself anonymous. But that was apparently going to change. Tonight.

“Um…yeah” Yuuki finally spoke, snatching the note fromZero’s hand before he could read it. “It says he wants to meet me tonight atthat new place they just opened a few months ago” 

“Where? The Red Carpet? That place is horribly expensive,Yuuki! Nobody gets in there unless your skin is made of gold or something” Zerosaid, his worry now intensifying. If Yuuki went to that place, Zero wouldn’t belet inside, not without a reservation; he wouldn’t be able to watch over her.He couldn’t even stand outside the door without getting kicked away; theyguarded the place like a freaking bank! “You can’t go, I won’t let you.”

“You can’t tell me what I can or can’t do,” Yuuki argued.She was not sure if she would go, all of this just seemed pretty weird. Thegifts were all still wrapped in their package, in her closet, waiting for herto find their buyer and return them. She couldn’t keep them! All thosethings…the necklace, the dress, the beautiful shoes, those amazing earrings,the bag, the expensive chocolates, cookies and other sweets. How Yuuki wantedto taste them, they looked delicious and she didn’t think she would ever getthe chance to have a box of those ever again, but it didn’t feel right. Allthose things were too much for her. She didn’t like the idea of someone shedidn’t know spending so much money on her. And it also scared her a little thatall the clothes and the shoes were just her size. Whoever this person wasclearly knew more about her than she felt comfortable with.

But even with all that, she was curious. The letters were sosweet and made her blush so much. It was such a confidence booster to know thatshe had caught the attention of someone. For some reason she hadn’t wantedKaname to know about this, but Zero had told him all about it, and without herpermission! Zero was kind of her brother, so she could understand why he wouldget worried, but why had Kaname also shown the same amount of concern over it?Suddenly all the attention was making her feel…good. She really wanted to knowwho this guy was, and she needed to return all the gifts to him. She wasextremely grateful for them, but she couldn’t keep them. She just couldn’t.

“Yuuki, that guy may be dangerous, you could get hurt and Ican’t keep you safe if you go into that place alone,” Zero warned her “Please,don’t go”

“But Zero, I need to know who he is,” Yuuki insisted “Therewill be a lot of people in the place, if he means harm he can’t do it in frontof so many, so I will be safe.”

“Yuuki…what about Kuran? You said you loved him, you can’trun off with another guy” Zero almost bit his tongue at that. He definitelydidn’t want Yuuki to be with Kaname, but if that kept her away from this guyfor now, he would insist.

“Zero!” Yuuki blushed, taking the flowers from the table andturning for the door. “I just want to know who he is” she made her way throughthe hallway to her bedroom door with Zero close behind her “Besides, let’s faceit, I have no chance at all with Kaname-senpai.” 

“Of course you do!” Geez, Zero was definitely going to punchhimself for this. “If you have a chance with a mysterious rich guy, you have achance with the pampered vampire”

Yuuki let herself into her room, closing the door beforeZero got the chance to get inside. “I am going to think about it, Zero, okay? Iknow the risks, but I really want to know more about this person. I-I have myreasons, okay?”

Zero let out a frustrated sigh before reaching for hisphone. He never thought the day would come when calling Kaname Kuran on the phonewould become something usual. This past month they had been spending way toomuch time socializing for Yuuki’s sake. They had both agreed on forgettingtheir hate for each other until they knew for sure Yuuki was safe, which hadresulted on them constantly meeting and calling each other several times a day.Zero preferred phone calls a lot more to meetings. He appreciated not being sonear the pureblood and the phone granted him the comfortable feeling of knowingthat if the vampire got on his nerves, he could just hang up and ignore hiscalls for the rest of the day.

“He asked her to meet him at The Red Carpet,” Zero said oncethe pureblood had answered his phone, which had only taken one ring, as usual.

“He must be pretty wealthy to manage a reservation at thatplace” Kaname responded, his worry matching Zero’s level now. “Is she going?”

“She said she’s not sure yet, but I think she is” Zerosighed. He had to admit that between all that worry, there was a spark ofjealousy. He knew that if all this resulted only in a normal guy with a crush,and a lot of money apparently, he wouldn’t be able to hold Yuuki back. Whywould he deny her someone who could take care of her the way he would never beable to? He didn’t want Yuuki to be hurt, he didn’t want this to be fake. Hewished this guy were some wealthy human that would give her the life shedeserved…and then he wished the opposite. 

“What time is she planning on meeting him?” Kaname asked.

“Eight o’clock” Zero answered. He had managed to read partof the note before Yuuki had taken it back thanks to his quick vampire vision.There weren’t many times when he was glad of his vampire abilities.

“Let her go” Kaname said, “I’ll get us both inside thatplace to keep an eye on her and to finally know who this man is.”

Zero grinned, remembering his earlier words to Yuuki. Nobody gets in there unless your skin ismade of gold or something. Finally, this annoying self-centered purebloodwould be of use! He could protect Yuuki now that he had his golden-skinnedvampire to get him into the place.

“It’s a date, then” Zero grinned, walking into his room andopening his small closet. He needed some formal clothing for this and hedoubted he had any.

“No, it’s not” Kaname stated through the phone, making Zeroconscious of the words he had used. It’sa date? The hell!

“No, of course not.” Zero quickly responded before flippinghis phone shut, feeling extremely embarrassed. He needed to pay attention towhat he said. He had been too close to the pureblood and too worried aboutYuuki these past weeks that he had let his guard down in every sense. He justrealized just how casually he and Kaname had been talking lately, and that madehim suddenly uncomfortable.

-o-

Kaname stared blankly at his phone for a few seconds beforeputting it away. He never thought Zero Kiryuu would ever be on his speed dial,or that he would ever go with him to an expensive restaurant, even if it wasjust to keep an eye on Yuuki. Of course, he could just go by himself, but Zerohad been the one to inform him of this whole thing first and he had kept hisword of letting him know everything Yuuki got from her ‘secret admirer’, it wasonly fair that he take the hunter with him to finally unmask said admirer.

“Get me a reservation for two at The Red Carpet at eight,”Kaname ordered Seiren, who swiftly left the room, phone already in hand. Thepureblood knew how hard it was to get a reservation at that place on such shortnotice, but he trusted Seiren to get it for him.

Kaname sighed and he rested his head on the back of his seat.Who was this guy? What did he want from Yuuki? Would he hurt her? Was heplotting something? The pureblood’s mind raced with questions and possibilitiesthat he hoped would be answered tonight. It was still morning and it frustratedhim how slow time was moving. He needed to get his mind off things until eight.He suddenly wished he hadn’t cleared up his schedule for the week. He hadnothing to do and he was starting to get a headache. Without thinking hereached for the phone and stared at the screen. The urge to call the huntersurprised the pureblood. He had just spoken to him a couple of minutes ago, whywould he want to call him again? It had become a habit to call the ex-humanwhenever he worried about Yuuki, and he was grateful that Zero always seemedeager to answer, probably expecting some news about the guy, but he haddisappointed him on that every time.

Kaname remembered the past week, when he had gone away forsome days on some business matters. It had taken a lot of his time and hecouldn’t talk to the hunter until two days after leaving. It amused him how,lately, calling the ex-human always took almost all this worries away. As longas he said Yuuki was fine, everything was fine. He would much rather assignsomeone to look after her and report him about her wellbeing than having tocall the hunter all the time, but Yuuki had made it clear she didn’t wantanyone to follow her and he didn’t want to displease her. If there had been noother way of knowing she was okay, he would have sent someone to keep check onher anyway, but there was another way, and that was Zero Kiryuu. He was gladthe hunter seemed to follow her everywhere and inform him nothing out of theordinary was happening, except for the gifts, of course.

Kaname frowned. He knew most of the students at CrossAcademy came from wealthy families, so it could actually be any of them. But hecouldn’t be sure, not when this person seemed to hide his tracks so well. Hehad been about to send Seiren to investigate when Yuuki had ‘scolded’ him forworrying too much. He chuckled. There was no such thing as worrying too muchwhen it came to Yuuki. She was a very special person for him and he was notletting anything hurt her. Anything. But he had promised Yuuki that he woulddrop the subject for a while. He was glad that maybe tonight he would finallyknow who this person is. Once he knew his face or his name, he could easilyfind out who he is and what his intentions might be. He couldn’t wait. He wastempted on having the reservation list of the restaurant and getting everysingle name in it be thoroughly researched, but…no. He could wait.

He eyed his phone again and looked at Zero’s name on thescreen. He suddenly wondered if Zero had any formal clothes. He couldn’tremember a time when he had seen the hunter wear something that wasn’t hisuniform or his usual jeans and shirts. If they were going to do this, theyneeded to be as inconspicuous as possible, and that meant going through thedoor without the ex-human drawing attention to himself for his lack of properclothing. He knew how strict that restaurant was; he had been there a couple oftimes.

“You need proper clothing,” Kaname said once the hunter hadanswered his call.

“What? You think I don’t have any?” Zero asked. Nope, hedidn’t, but he didn’t like the pureblood making conclusions like that with him,no matter how true they were right now.

“Meet me at the gates in 15 minutes, I will take you to townso you can get something to wear tonight” Kaname said, hanging up before thehunter could answer back. He grinned as the ex-human’s name flashed on hisscreen a few seconds later. He let it ring a couple of times before answering.

“Don’t hang up on me like that, vampire!” Zero growled. Hedidn’t even know why he had called him again, but it had become a casual thingbetween them; he would hang up on Kaname and he would call back again andviceversa, and they both would call again just to insult the other and thenhang up again. It made no sense, really. Good thing he had convinced thepureblood to pay for his phone bill.

Kaname held back a chuckle and hung up again withoutreplying. He never got the chance to do childish things like these except withthe hunter, and it was quite nice. 

Zero grumbled as he pocketed his phone and slid his jacketon. He didn’t bother in taking his wallet; he was going to make the vampire payfor everything, the bastard.

“Yuuki, I’m going out for a bit” Zero said as he knocked onher door. Suddenly he felt a cold shiver go through him as he realized he wasabout to leave her alone. Chairman Cross had been awfully busy lately and hewas not here right now. He just came for little whiles to say how his ‘baby’was growing and how he would fight every man that ever dared to come near her. Zeroknew the old man was concerned, but he trusted him and Kaname to keep her safe. 

He was about to get his phone out when he caught a glimpseof Seiren on the window outside. Kaname had sent her to keep an eye on Yuukithen. Relief fell over him and that terrified him. Why would he be relieved toleave Yuuki in the care of the creepy stalking vampire creepily staring at himthrough the window?

“Where are you going?” Yuuki asked as she opened the door ofher room, a towel resting on her arm. She was about to take a shower and shewas kind of glad Zero was leaving, it meant she could have a little moreprivacy, but she wondered where Zero could be meaning to go so early.

“Um, just going to check some things” Zero said, “Kuranwants me to go see something,” he added, regretting his words almostimmediately.

Yuuki eyed him suspiciously before smiling. “You two seem tobe getting along better.”

“We’re not getting along, we’re just…researching” Zero said,not looking at her. Yuuki only giggled as she stepped outside her room, tossingthe towel onto her shoulder.

“I’m glad you two are on better terms now, but this isn’tabout my ‘date’ tonight, is it?” Yuuki wondered, “because I don’t want you twoto overreact again because of this.” Seriously, she really appreciated it, butshe didn’t want them to get into trouble and she definitely didn’t want them toget so involved in her personal life. She had just decided she would attend tothe dinner, and even if she preferred going alone, she was really consideringhaving Zero wait for her outside the restaurant, in case something happened,which she doubted. She couldn’t think of any reason someone would bother to gether all this things just to harm her, but these two constant worrying had madeher wonder. 

“Look, I’m just going out for a while, I will be back soon,”Zero said, taking the keys to the house and heading for the door before Yuukiwould ask something else. He wasn’t going to tell her where he was going, itwould lead to other questions that would lead to him admitting he was going tospy on her date.

“Um…okay, but Zero…” Yuuki didn’t get to finish the sentencebefore the hunter left the house, locking the door behind him. She frowned atthe door and then went back to her room. She was really nervous about all ofthis and didn’t quite know how to take it. What would happen tonight? Would shehave to let down this person? What about Kaname…?

Zero wasn’t surprised to see a limo already waiting for himat the gates of the academy. He had traveled in it a couple of times before,when he and Kaname had gone following the delivery guy to interrogate him. Thepoor guy thought he was being kidnapped and had almost had a heart attack. Thathadn’t been a nice day. 

The hunter slid into the limo as the door was closed behindhim. Kaname was already there, looking out the car with his arm perched on thewindowsill, barely acknowledging the hunter’s presence. Zero eyed his figurefor a while. It wasn’t fair that he looked so good. Beasts like him didn’tdeserve to have such a perfect body. Monsters like Kaname Kuran were notsupposed to draw his attentions this way. The hunter kept looking at Kaname beforehis eyes suddenly met with the pureblood’s. “What?” Kaname asked.

Zero quickly turned away. “Nothing.”

Kaname raised an eyebrow. What had all that staring beenabout? Was he…blushing? Was Zero Kiryuu seriously blushing? Wow. Kaname smiledin amusement as he looked at the hunter. He was wearing a loose shirt and hisusual jeans, nothing out of the ordinary, yet his piercings and unusualcoloring certainly made him look pretty interesting. And that blush across hischeeks was even more. No matter how hard the ex-human tried to hide it, he coldstill see the reddish tone on his cheeks. 

“Hey, you okay?” Kaname asked him, his amused grin still inplace.

Zero glared at him, finally able to get rid of theunexpected warm feeling on his cheeks. “No. Could you get as far away from meas possible, please? I don’t want to catch your vampire cooties.”

“That won’t be necessary, the seat you are on is alreadyinfested with them, so I think it is already too late to worry about that,”Kaname replied, both of them continuing the childish chats and arguments Kanameenjoyed so much. It truly relaxed him to talk about unimportant things once ina while. He hadn’t had much of a childhood, so it was nice to have thesemoments. They made him feel like getting a water gun out and spraying theex-human’s face just to see how he would react. He was starting to enjoy thecompany of the hunter, not that he would ever admit it.

The limo started moving and the pureblood turned back tolook at the road outside, suddenly wondering where he could get a water gun.
