Hey everyone! :)
I haven't been around in a whiiiiiile.
I won't even begin with the excuses. I'm sure most of you wouldn't like to hear them all over again anyways. XD
Also, I'd like to think that I have improved quite a bit while I was away, and I hope this chapter suits your taste? Haha~ Review please and let me know!
One more thing; this chapter is very short compared to my old ones, and I'm sorry for that~ It's better than nothing, is it not? ^^;
So yes. Without any further ado, the chapter begins. :)
Thank you all SO much for the supportive reviews. This story wouldn't have come this far if you guys hadn't been there to tell me this story was great! :D -hands you a box of cookies-
Oh, and absolutely NO FLAMING!Ya got that? If you don't like ZeroxYuuki pairing, why did you even click the link to read this fanfic? To ruin it by flaming? No way. I won't stand for it. So don't. Please. And. Thank you. Oh, and if you hate my story that much, don't even bother to review. Constructive criticism is appreciated, though. :)

How To Get A Vampire To Love You
Chapter 10: The Lies
Yuuki groaned in frusteration.
"Zero! Cooperate with me! This is a problem! The whole day class girls will kill me! Let alone all the night class girls! And boys!"
"Okay! I get the point, Yuuki!" Zero yelled, pulling away from Yuuki's grasp before asking, "Do you think Kuran did something to the Chairman?"
"Exactly, yes!" Yuuki said starting to run towards the door, Zero trailing behind her, "He must have hid him somewhere cause' father wouldn't just go away like that! Let alone for some stupid business meeting!"
Yuuki and Zero then headed for the Chairman's room.
Running as fast as they could, Yuuki and Zero hurried along the passages of the Day class dormatories, stopping at the Chairman's office door. Yuuki grabbed the doorknob but of course, with their luck today, it failed to turn. Panicking, she tried to kick open the door. Surprisingly, it fell onto the ground with a loud thud.
Yuuki's eyes widened and she looked at the boy behind her. "Erm. I. Don't know how I did that."
Zero blinked a couple of times but his apethetic expression didn't leave his face. "I don't even want to know where you got all that strength."
Yuuki ignored the other's (possibly insulting) remark and bolted into the office. She looked around the room but alas, no Chairman.
"He isn't in here..." Yuuki felt tears burn her eyes and the room becameblurry almost immediately afterwards.
Zero walked over to her and hugged her from behind affectionately. "Hey, don't cry."
Yuuki shook her head. Clenching her fists, she growled, "Why would Kaname do such a thing to Father? When did Kaname turn so cruel?"
Zero kept silent. He wasn't the type to give out good advice as well as to comfort somebody successfully, so he simply kissed Yuuki's neck, sighing onto her soft flesh. He felt Yuuki shiver under him.
"Okay?" He asks, not really expecting an answer but hoping for one.
"We have to find him, Zero. We have to find Father." She replies instead of a proper 'yes' or 'no' as one would might have, and Zero can almost feel Yuuki's rage bubbling inside of her. The aura around them is not a good one.
They'd probably had been looking for the Chairman for hours nonstop, until Yuuki abruptly collapsed onto the ground, startling Zero. She was unconscious, he concluded, and being extremely careful, he carried her back to her room. Sighing more long and drawn out than necessary, he gently laid her down on the soft blankets and tucked her into the covers. Hopefully, she would be able to feel better enough to go back to searching for the Chairman. Without him, chaos would be erupted in the Academy.
Looking upon her pale face, Zero couldn't help but to touch her cheeks with the back of his palm. He sat down next to her, and he had this sickening feeling in the pit of his stomach. The familiar ache that meant he was hungry.
Not for food, but for blood.
Zero stood up quickly, reaching into his pocket for his packet of blood tablets.
"Damn it," He cursed under his breath, shoving the tablets down his throat. How could he be hungry in a time like this?
"Zero?"
He spun around, panting. "Yuuki," He swallowed, "You're... you're awake."
Yuuki smiled, getting up from bed. "That I am."
Zero smiled back, but he knew it showed his inner thoughts because the next thing he knew, Yuuki was asking questions. Dangerous questions.
"Are you hungry?" Yuuki asked, her tone oh-so-serious, "Do you need blood?"
Zero shook his head. His stomach felt even queasier. "No! No... it's alright."
Yuuki gave Zero an incredulous look. "You're lying, Zero."
Zero shook his head stubbornly, "No, I'm fine. Just get some rest. You're not fully recovered yet and I need you to sleep so you can gain your energy back."
Yuuki nodded slowly. "... I know."
"We need to find the Chairman."
Yuuki nodded again, sighing. "I know, Zero. I know."
Zero didn't say anything more and left the room. He didn't want to see Yuuki cry again, because as he left, he could hear her faint whimpers and her quiet sniffling.
Zero cleared his throat several times while walking through the halls of the Day Class Academy, trying to swallow that growing lump in his throat (the blood tablets were always so useless) while doing his job as a prefect. He was also keeping an eye out for clues that could lead to the Chairman. Finally, he decided to just walk over to Kaname and force him to talk. Running, he slipped into the Night Class dormitories. Surely he'd be able to spot Kaname. And there he was.
Kaname sat languidly on the velvet sofas, his eyes closed and his mouth open a little in thought. Zero angrily stomped over to the pure-blood, taking him by the collar.
"You!" He growled into Kaname's face.
As always, Kaname calmly opened his eyes and smiled. "Ah, Kiryu-kun. Fancy meeting you here."
"You're fucking kidding me," Zero hissed, tightening his grip on the other's shirt. "You're kidding me, right, Kuran-senpai?" Zero spat the honorifc out as if it was a disease. Lifting the pure-blood off of the ground, he slammed Kaname into the wall, pinning him there.
Kaname smirked. "I can tell you need blood, Kiryu-kun."
Zero raged, his eyes turning dark red, completely taking over his usual amethyst eyes. He pulled Kaname back and slammed him even harder against the concrete wall.
"Stop messing around!" Zero almost shrieked.
Kaname, now a bit angered, snapped. Bitterly, he whispered, "Kiryu, I suggest you let me go now. Before I decide to finally finish you off."
Zero showed his fangs and hissed. "You son of a--"
"Stop!"
Zero's head spun around whereas his gaze landed upon Ichijo, noticing the other's face was pale and full of concern.
"Zero-kun," Ichijo pleaded, taking a step towards the two, "Please stop this."
Zero growled low in his throat but stepped back and let Kaname go. Eying the pure-blood, he stated, "I'll be back, Kuran. If you hurt the Chairman, or if you hurt my Yuuki, I'll destroy you."
Kaname scoffed, chuckling in pure amusement. "Yuuki is mine, Kiryu-kun. Get it right."
Zero ignored him and started to walk off.
Kaname continued, his voice a little louder. "Don't think you're that strong enough to actually kill someone."
Zero stopped. Smiling, he turned around. "I know that I'm strong enough to kill you."
Yuuki finally awoke, feeling unbelievably refreshed. She felt like her old self again, not having to bother with the stress of finding the Chairman or being part of this vampire-y conflict. But she knew this was reality, and this needed to be fixed. Stretching, she got herself back onto her feet, putting on her jacket and shoes. Hurrying towards the door, she didn't realize that she was still the school's most hated person. A mob of girls were waiting patiently outside.
Zero was just about to enter the Day Class dormitories when he heard a scream. Eyes widening, he bolted through the doors and ran over to Yuuki's dorm. Sure enough, a bunch of the day class girls were huddled in a circle around Yuuki, beating her to a pulp. He could see Yori trying to break up the mob of girls, but of course she would be no use. Yelling, Zero ran over to them.
"Get off of her!" He screamed, pushing and shoving the girls away with his abnormal vampire strength. He even flung some girls out of the way, picking them up and simply throwing them aside.
When he finally broke up the fight, his face paled as he saw Yuuki almost lifeless on the floor, bleeding somewhat. She wasn't dead, but she was injured. The last thought he had before tending Yuuki was that these fangirls of the Night Class were really the utmost craziest people.
"Yuuki?" He called, holding Yuuki in his arms.
No answer.
"Hey, wake up!" Zero yelled this time, losing his patience.
Again, no answer.
How ironic; he had been like this only a few days ago, and now it happened to the person he cared for the most. He didn't think he'd be crying, but then he felt the long-gone feeling of wetness in his eyes and it made him angry. Cursing under his breath, he cradled Yuuki and ran outside to the Night Class dorms.
As much as he would hate to admit it, he knew Kaname was the only one who could save her now.
Ehhhh, not so much liking this chapter. For obvious reasons, of course.
I honestly think this chapter sucked, and I didn't really answer the questions from chapter 9. I couldn't just immediately make the Chairman appear again cause that would totally ruin the tension in the story. :| So, sorry about that~ But I'm sure it'll be answered soon.
I hope you enjoyed this chapter though, and please review! :)
Oh, and no preview for today, sorry. I'm still in a hiatus, and my writer's block is still very strong, evidently shown here in this crappy chapter. And the reason for no preview is that I have nothing funny up my sleeve at this moment and that I might update late again, and if you had the preview, it'd spoil the good stuff (if there is any good stuff) ;)
Anyways, I hope you all have a good day, and I'll hopefully see you soon for the next chapter! :D &hearts!
P.S. Please please please! give me some ideas on how to end this story. It won't be ended soon, I'm sure, but I need ideas. Ugh, I'm losing my creativity here, people! XD
Please, and thank you in advance. :)
