DISCLAIMER: I do not in any way own Vampire Knight ! FANFICTION, PEOPLE!

"Good-good evening, K-Kaname Sama" Yuuki bowed, a small blush spreading across her face. Kaname always had that effect on her.

"Yuuki." His smile was soft and tender, making her blush more. He came to stand in front of her, while the other night class students went by. The girls in the crowd were screaming like usual, begging for attention, for them to accept their confessions, but Yuuki didn't pay any mind to them. Her eyes were all for Kaname. His dark almost black hair curled against the top of his shoulders, lighter highlights glinting in the fading sunlight. His large almond colored eyes stared back at her, his skin so pale, even against the white uniform of the night class. His gaze always seemed to cut into her heart, it was so intense.

"Hello Zero kun." Yuuki turned to see Zero standing behind her, dark and brooding. His silver hair and lavender eyes made him as attractive as Kaname, in his own way. His skin was more pale than even Kaname's.

Zero just nodded to him, averting his gaze. Was she just imagining it, or was Zero blushing? No, surely not.

Yuuki stood in between the two men, and she could feel the angry eyes of the day class girls. Yes, she could imagine how it would look to them, seeing those two and her. They probably thought they were fighting over her. They had no idea that both were vampires, one a pure blood, the other bitten and changing. Soon, Zero was going to have to change to the night class. The idea pained Yuuki. She cared for Zero very much, and even though her feelings for him were... confusing, she didn't want to be separated from him.

"Yuuki, I need you to come over tonight, around midnight. I have a ball to throw in about a week, and I need help writing the invitations. If you want to, that is." Yuuki felt her heart skip a beat.

"Of... of course I will, Kaname sama." Kaname's smile was dazzling, and she watched him leave, hardly able to believe it. Kaname never invited her over to the night class dorms. She was thrilled, but she was a little scared as well.

She'd always been a little scared of him, especially since that one night when she woke up in his bed, seeing him feeding off of Ruka. She'd fled from the dorm, and even now she tried to pretend like everything was normal.. but it wasn't. She'd been so conflicted after what she'd seen. On the one hand ,she'd been terrified. She'd seen his fangs buried into someone's neck, drinking their blood. His eyes had glowed bright red, something she rarely saw him do. Yes she'd been afraid. On the other hand, whenever she thought about the way he'd held that person, the way he'd looked up Yuuki, almost as if... as if he wished it was her. That made her blush.

Zero nudged her, bringing her back to the present. "Are you going to be okay over there tonight?" She nodded, studying his expression. Normally, he'd have gone crazy at the idea. He would have told Kaname that there was no way in hell she was going alone, that he wouldn't allow it. Now though, he seemed... different. Remembering how Kaname had said hello to him, and how Zero had reacted, Yuuki smiled. Finally! She thought those two would never get along. Something must have happened. Maybe they talked their problems remembered the night she'd waited in Zero's room, worried. She hadn't seen him all evening. When he had come back, he looked...hurt. Physically at least. He had cuts all over him, and his earring was torn out. He'd lost blood, and he fed on her immediately. She'd let him, her body held tight in his arms. This time though, she'd felt strangely...good. She'd noticed things she never really noticed about Zero before. Like the way his hands rested on her hips, or how close their bodies were when he fed. She thought of the first time he fed on her in a whole new light. She remembered the feel of his body behind her, suddenly grabbing her with a violence she never thought he could have toward her. When the night class was gone, all of the day class cleared out, their distraction disappeared.

Zero glanced over at her, and Yuuki felt her face going red. He did that to her now. Whenever he looked at her too hard, she couldn't help but blush. 'Like I'm blushing now', she thought, embarrassed.

" Well, I'd better get going, the chairman wants me to cook dinner tonight, so I'd better get started. I'll see you then Zero!" He waved goodbye, looking slightly dejected. On impulse, Yuuki leaned up on her tiptoes, and planted a kiss on his cheek. He looked shocked. Before he could say anything, she ran, not seeing the triumphant smile curving his lips.

"Come in". Kaname watched Yuuki enter his room, looking extremely nervous. She was dressed in a knee length white skirt, with a cute blue short sleeved scoop neck blouse. Kaname felt smiled his reassuring smile, knowing it would calm her. What he really wanted to do would scare her so badly she'd never see him again. Oh well...all in good time. He loved Yuuki, and he'd never hurt her, but sometimes... sometimes he felt the same way toward her that he felt around Zero. He liked a little violence in his sex, to hear them gasp in pain before he made them moan in pleasure. A part of it was being around Yuuki for so long, and yet not doing anything about it. Partly. Most of it though, was his nature.

"Hello, Kaname sama." She stood as far away from him as she could across the room. He smiled, watching her fidget under his gaze. He did love to tease her so. She was so easy to fluster. All he had to do was smile, or say something she wasn't expecting. It had become a game with him.

He motioned to the couch and the coffee table in front of it, covered with white envelopes. "Yuuki, if you'll come over here, I'll show you the list of names you can start with."

Yuuki slowly made her way over, skittish as a cat. He chuckled, the sound making her jump. "I won't bite you Yuuki. You know I would never harm you." He watched the affect the words had on her. The insinuation to biting made her blush, and then the reassurance made her feel guilty for thinking he was doing it on purpose. She sat down beside him on the couch. He could smell her, the warm scent of baked bread lingering in her hair, and the smell she always had. The smell of her blood. That smell drove him crazy.

He gave her a list, and showed her the pen. "These are some of the people I'm inviting to the ball. Mostly it's friends of others in the night class, and some nobles that I have to entertain. Thank you, for agreeing to help me Yuuki." He flashed her that wide gentle smile, watching the effect it had on her.

" It's... it's nothing Kaname sama". She picked up the pen, and Kaname grabbed her hand, holding it. She looked up at him, her face reddening. "You know I like it when you call me just Kaname."

"Yes, o-okay, Kaname." He let her go, and watched her begin the first invitation, noticing how her hand shook. He left her alone for a little bit, asking simple questions about her day, making her relax. She began to open up, to talk to him. He listened, genuinely curious. He watched the light from the fireplace dancing in her eyes, and felt a strong desire to... well he couldn't do that. She was too innocent. Finally, the invitations were done, and Yuuki leaned back into the couch, stretching.

"Yuuki?"

"Mm?"

Kaname leaned down, his arm crossing over her, and he slowly brought his lips to meet hers. She was shocked, he could tell. He kept kissing her, slowly, gently. He felt her sigh against his mouth, felt her slowly respond to him. Kaname restrained himself from all of the impulses he had, the ones he so easily allowed free with Zero. She he would have to treat differently. Slowly, very slowly, his tongue slipped inside her mouth. She tasted so good! He heard her small gasp of surprise, but he knew that she wouldn't stop him. She loved him, as much as she could understand how, and he was going to use that.

His hand was on her shoulder, and it slid lower, down her arm, to encircle her waist. He pulled her gently down, until she was lying on the couch, and he was on top of her. She was too mesmerized to fight him. Her eyes were half closed, new found desire and wonder blushing her cheeks. Kaname gently lowered his body, sinking against her, his arms holding himself up just enough to look in her eyes.

"Yuuki, I want you so badly." He nuzzled her neck, inhaling the scent of her skin deep into his lungs. Knowing he should leave it at this, but unable to stop himself, he licked a long slow path up her throat, hearing her small cry. He nibbled at her skin, teasing her. He could feel her body trembling, and reveled in it. His fingers came up to trace her collarbone, barely brushing the skin. Her breathing was getting slightly erratic, and he couldn't help the chuckle that escaped him. She was too fun.

When his hand slid down her chest to lightly cup one of her breasts, he heard her small moan. "Ka-na-me?"

She made it a question. She wasn't sure what was going on, even when she was obviously enjoying it. She was very innocent after all.

He sighed, slowly releasing her. Brushing his lips lightly across her forehead, he sat up. She blinked, trying to clear her head, her eyes drowsy and her skin flushed.

Watching her slowly sit up, her expression befuddled and still showing the desire she felt, he began his act. Putting his hands in his head, he said in a distraught voice, "I'm so sorry Yuuki."

She looked confused. "S-sorry? What for?"

"For taking advantage of you. I couldn't help myself though Yuuki, I... these feelings... they're very strong."

He looked up, his expression full of guilt. "I can't help myself. Please forgive me."

"There's nothing to apologize for , Kaname sama. I... I wanted you to... I mean... I'm.. not angry." Her clumsy attempts to comfort him made him smile. "Thank you Yuuki. Perhaps... you should go, for now. It's getting late, and you have school in the morning." She nodded, standing up immediately. He waited, watching the thoughts that crossed her face. Now she'd be wondering if she'd done something wrong, if perhaps he didn't want her after all. When she got to the door, he came up behind her, turning her around, and kissed her long and hard. When he finally pulled away, she looked like she'd been hit with a sledgehammer.

"I love you Yuuki. I don't want to hurt you."

As she began to understand, he watched her beautiful innocent smile cross her face. She left, and he closed the door behind her, leaning against it. Now, the next time they were alone, she'd be not only not surprised if he did this again, she'd be anticipating it. Not only that, but now that she knew what those feelings were, she'll recognize them in Zero as well.

He wished he could be there. Sighing, he whispered aloud,"Do your job well, little hunter."
