Sorry everyone for the last chapter! It was just to make Reika and Kain's relationship deeper. Anyways this chapter's for you Ruka X Kain fans. Sorry again for my lack of creativity. Oh yeah and Ruka and Kain are totally being OOC right now.
Disclaimer: I do not own Vampire Knight or have anything to do with it, I'm just borrowing the characters.
The double oak wooden doors swung open in a dramatic fashion, as wind poured through, immediately freezing anything that it came in contact with. As the two figures that appeared behind the swinging timber doors were welcomed with silence. Kain and Reika spilled from their midnight garden trek, their laughs echoing through the quiet halls of the Night Class dormitories. Still soaking from their previous misfortune in the fountain, the two teenagers seemed oblivious to the cold and the wind. Moonlight followed their erratic forms, as they quickly left to each of their designated rooms. Giving one another one last good-bye before the night ended, in the form of a hug. Abruptly, there was silence once again.
Kain quickly slinked from shadow to shadow, the high from being with Reika still pumping adrenaline through his veins. Unexpectedly he saw a small frail figure standing in front of his dormitory door. Her small form wearing a lily-white dress, her body crumpled in a way that could only mean one thing. Pain. Not the type of pain that someone felt when they fell down, but the pain that someone felt when the one person they had always loved rejects them.
Quickening his pace, Kain immediately felt guilt rush forth into his body. He had forgotten Ruka. It had been almost 17 years since he had last forgotten Ruka, but he had. And by the looks of it, he had forgotten her during the time she needed him most. Pain was etched into his face, as he took another look at Ruka's shivering form, sobs racking her frame.
"Ruka? What's wrong Ruka?" Kain felt his heart break as Ruka finally lifted her face from her hands. He already knew.
Tears streamed down her unblemished skin, as her eyes conveyed sadness that matched his. Acting upon trained instinct that he had laid out for himself since they were little, Kain enveloped Ruka in his arms. The contact between them immediately setting of a passionate fire in Kain's heart. Gripping Ruka, Kain felt his old flame reignite. The moment between them right at this moment, was a new point in his life. It was on an extremely seldom occasion, that Kain felt that he had finally caught up to Ruka. That she had finally stopped letting him follow and drag behind her, but had finally waited for him to catch up.
"Why are you wet?"
Kain looked down at himself guiltily as he realised that he was still soaking from his tumble at the fountain. "Come in, I need to get changed. We'll talk in side alright? Is Aido in there?"
It was apparent, that Ruka had not noticed Kain's not so subtle topic change, as she quickly nodded. "Aido's with Ichijou, he got bored after you left. So he went to help Ichijou figure out how this Host Club fundraising is actually going to work."
Opening the door to his room for Ruka like the gentleman he was, Ruka entered his dormitory graciously. Her scent gently fanning against him as she walked past. A hidden sort of sweetness that only came out at night, was the only way Kain could describe it. Following the tall chocolate haired girl into his room, Kain quickly began to strip off his shirt. The two were used to seeing each other's skin after all, since they did use to bath with one another when they were little. Even though that was about 10 years ago.
Upon turning around, Ruka's breath hitched. Kain was shirtless, and she didn't even notice. Though she knew these feelings she was having should not have been there, they still came unbidden. New emotions reared in her body, as she felt herself staring at Kain's back. Watching as each muscled moved. Wondering, how the hell did he get so muscular and firm? The water that covered his skin wasn't helping either, as it acted like a thin sheen of sweat. Giving Ruka depraved and unholy thoughts to how he got so wet. Though Kain hadn't noticed, as he was still rummaging for a new change of clothes, Ruka was practically burning holes into his back. In a good, wicked, lacking moral and passionate way of course.
"So what's wrong Ruka?" Kain's husky voice penetrated Ruka's reverie as he quickly walked into the bathroom, clothes in hand.
Without closing the door, Ruka knew Kain was beginning to change. Unexpectedly, images of Kain's muscles appeared in her mind's eye again, hacking away at her sanity. What the heck was wrong with her? Shaking her head, Ruka pushed her long locks of hair behind her shoulder and straightened her clothing, as if doing this would banish her unwanted perverted thoughts.
"It's just the same old thing Kain, Kaname… he's such a good man, but I can't get over it." Ruka began, her voice already rising into hysteria. "He wanted my blood once, but now… now he always refuses it. I – I don't understand"
Swiftly returning from the bathroom, Kain immediately cloaked Ruka's shivering form with his own. The sun began to rise behind them. With small and quiet whispers of comfort and consolidation, Kain began to lightly stroke Ruka's hair. Like he used to when they were 10.
"What happened to us Kain?" Ruka asked as she revelled in the warm contact of Kain's body against her own. "We used to be so close. But we never do this anymore."
Silent. Kain didn't trust himself to say anything, in case he confessed his undying love for the girl in front of him. Without a word, he gently shepherded her towards his bed, Kain seated both himself and the girl in his arms onto the bed. Staring at the broken girl who was seated facing him. Her strong outer presence completely annihilated and destroyed. The same man had, once again, broke the façade that she placed over herself, that evoked a sense of sensibility and order. The man that Ruka undyingly and permanently loved. Kaname Kuran.
How could he ever compete with the epiphany of male perfection? He was not sure how or why, but a sudden rush of anger in the form of adrenaline rushed through his blood. The emotions were like a gale of wind, pushing all other emotions to the side. Gripping Ruka in a tighter embrace, Kain didn't want to let go. He looked at the damaged girl in his arms, and saw a younger Ruka with a scratch on her knee crying on the pavement.
Pain tugged at his heartstrings as he inhaled Ruka's heady scent, his growl came from him unbidden, like an unleashed lion. "Why. Wont. You. Forget. About. Him?"
Gritting his teeth, Kain pulled Ruka's face to face his own. Fiery golden latched onto the broken brown orbs of Ruka's eyes. All he wanted to do right now was to comfort her, and to tell her it was all right. An animalistic urge began to poke at Kain's rush of emotions, the emotion to take what was his.
She was in his room wasn't she? She was willingly in his arms wasn't she? She was also willingly on his bed wasn't she? Fighting these unbidden thoughts of animalistic mating, Kain grinded his teeth and let Ruka go. Again, he didn't trust himself. Without warning, the loss of contact caused the emotions to abruptly disappear. Leaving Kain feeling oddly empty and dazed. Moving away from Ruka only the slightest, Kain let out a breath he didn't realise he was holding.
"Are you alright?" Kain asked, staring at Ruka as she hid her face from him.
Giving a slight inclination of her head, Ruka immediately stood up. Turning to face the seated teenager, she gave one of her true unmasked smiles. Feeling a familiar dusting of red stain his cheeks, Kain stood up and grabbed Ruka into another bone-crushing hug. Breathing in her scent, Kain reluctantly let the smaller woman go and took a step away from her.
"I should go…" Ruka began, leaving her statement unfinished.
Making eye contact with Kain, she seemed to ask something with her chocolate brown hued eyes. Unless…
Kain gave a small smile, feeling his luck turn. "I think you should go back to your own dormitory before Aido returns. I don't think you'll enjoy Aido's company."
Giving an elegant smile grace her face, Ruka gave a curt nod. "Just one question Kain. Is this the real you?"
Catching Kain by surprise, the towering man quickly recomposed himself shaking off the surprise that shrouded him. "I can't answer that right now."
Nodding in understanding, Ruka began to make her way to his door. With the grace of a swan, she turned around causing her dress to fan around her like a open lily. Though she had her hand on the doorknob, both of the teenagers knew that they still wanted more time together. The love between them, should never have existed. It was a curse that would never have a happy outcome.
"One last question Kain." Ruka began as she stood in her pearly white dress, innocence like a bubble surrounding her small frail form. "Who is Reika to you?"
Again, feeling his eyes widen a fraction, Kain quickly looked downwards, feeling his mind working. Who was Reika to him? Suddenly the possibility and love he shared for Ruka seemed a much darker and unknown path. Looking back up to answer the question, Kain was surprised to see an empty space where Ruka was standing.
The sun continued to rise.
Yeah, this was for all of you Ruka X Kain shippers. Pretty much telling Ruka and Kain's relationship, to balance out the last chapter. It probably wasn't a very good chapter, since nothing really happened, sorry.
Oh and sorry about the long pause in writing, I'm back on holidays!! Though I'm thinking of wrapping this story up soon… It's been a while since I've watched VK and I think I'm losing the hang of it.
Please review, and please don't flame. Restrain yourself! Haha.
