Before The Sun Comes Up

Still Doll Yuuki

I do not own Vampire Knight

--

.:Night Four: "All About Us, Part One":.

As usual, Yuuki sat on the long, black leather divan on her balcony one cool morning before dawn, looking out into the rising sun with a small smile curved on her face as she remembered all her times as a human. All of the friends she had made and people that had come to love and adore her…

…And people who she had come to love in her human life as well.

Her chocolate-wine colored eyes darkened as she remembered the first person who she ever loved and cared for…

Zero…

The memory of his off white silverfish hair, his pale—yet bright—violet colored eyes and his sickly pale face that seemed to haunt her very memory. Where was Zero now? Was he still alive? Somehow she doubted it…but somehow, she believed that he could survive. He is a human turned vampire after all.

A soft, almost silent whisper escaped Yuuki's lips as she dressed in a knee length black baby doll dress that flared out from the top part of the gown. Her hair was done into a plait over her right side and she slid on onyx ballet sandals, lacing them up to mid-calf high and letting the dress fall.

Almost as silent as an apparition, Yuuki slid a floor length hooded cloak over her dress and walked onto the open balcony and looked into the rising sun one last time before disappearing as the sun peaked over the horizon.

Yuuki wondered through the near desolate streets and with the help of the chairman's directions, she found herself in front of an apartment complex that seemed to house a good amount of people.

How was she ever going to know which place was where Zero resided?

She walked to the front steps and opened the door of the apartment complex and stepped inside, shedding the hood of her cloak, revealing her pale face and wine-chocolate colored eyes as she looked around.

Then, a familiar cheery voice is heard from the end of the hall.

"Ze—… OH MY GOD! YUUKI-CHAN!!!"

It was the voice of her former 'Otou-san', Kaein Cross.

Yuuki turned to face the taller, pale blond haired male, whose eyes twinkled happily.

"Chair—… I mean, Otou-san" Yuuki replied in a sedated tone of voice as Chairman strode up and stood a foot away, with a small grin on his face.

"It has been a long time since I last saw my darling Musume-chan!" the blond haired male chirped lightly, chuckling. (1)

A small, bemused smile tugged at the corner of Yuuki's lips as she answered in a light tone, "It has, Otou-san. It has" Then, she asked in quiet, passing curiosity, "Why are you here though?"

Kaein answered in a sedated voice, "The same reason you are. To check on Zero-kun" Yuuki's heart beat at the name.

Zero was still ALIVE? After 3 years he managed to keep himself from turning into a… a…

…Level E?

Tears gathered at the corner of Yuuki's chocolate-wine colored eyes and Kaein placed a comforting arm around the young vampire's shoulders. "Zero-kun is still alive…" the young female vampire murmured quietly as tears rolled down her pale cheeks.

Without another word, Kaein lead Yuuki into Zero's small, but hospitable complex, waiting for him to arrive.

That very said Male (Zero) arrived outside his apartment complex, ankle high in snow. He looked up at the clouds as the snow fell with distant violet eyes. He was thinking about distant, but still crisp and clear memories.

He wondered how Yuuki was doing… He missed her greatly and only hoped she'd come back to see him one day. Even if it was for a day, he'd miss class to be with her.

Zero then unconsciously ran a hand through his hair, sighing softly. He then strode up the steps of the apartment steps and entered it, closing the door behind him and shaking off the snow.

Once inside, he heard the chairman's light and cheerful tone through the thin walls and also…

His eyes widened only a slight bit as his mouth went dry.

…Yuuki?

To find out if it was truly her, he had to find out for himself.

Zero grabbed a hold of the door handle and twisted the handle slightly down and the door clicked.

The first word that came out of his mouth was as he stepped into the room to see the wide-eyed stare of his beloved Yuuki:

"…Yuuki"

XoXoXoX

Yuuki and the Chairman were having a light conversation when they both heard the front door slam and everything went silent for moments as the foot steps came closer and closer.

Then, the handle of the door twisted slightly down and the lock clicked open.

Then, she heard her own name spill softly from his mouth as she stared wide-eyed at him.

The brown haired vampire swore her heart stopped as the off-silver haired male stepped in the room in a long black trench coat. The only word that spilled from her mouth was a single name:

"…Zero"
