Well well this isn't exactly an original idea I got the idea from reading Sagakure's fic Cradle of Blood. I thought about how awesome it would the other way around...this is Kaname's POV though, the next chapter will be Zero's.

So here's my Christmas fic lol

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight! no siree!

Butterfly
Chapter 1 Defiant Rose

I spin
Like a butterfly
In the wind
I can't escape
The webs you've been spun
I won't admit defeat
I won't admit you've won...

"Hey Kaname-sempai what would you like for Christmas?" Yuuki asked cheerfully as they strolled down the streets of town, the streetlights lighting their way. It was only 4 O'clock in the afternoon but the snow darkened the sky even more...everything else looked so cheerful with the whole town having been Christmasfied... decorations covered all the stores and cheesy music was pumped through the speakers of the shopping centre...everyone seemed to have forgotten they lived in Japan.

"Anything you think of will be nice Yuuki" he replied diplomatically.

"Awww but I have no idea" She whined "and Christmas is only a week away...anyway what should we get the Chairman?"

"A cookbook definitely" he said seriously cringing at what Cross thought of as not only edible for human/vampire consumption but also tasty.

As they walked past a old shopfront window Kaname stopped suddenly and stared at the tinted glass oddly.

"What is it Kaname-sempai?" Yuuki asked wondering why he had stopped.

"Yuuki...when you look at this window what do you see?" he asked curiously.

She walked back to where he was and stared up at the window wondering what he was on about.

"I don't see anything except glass Kaname-sempai, what's up" she asked concerned about the pureblood's vacant stare.

"Nothing...Yuuki I must of forgotten to take my tablets this morning I'm seeing things" Kaname reassured her and followed her.

"Well we can go back to the Academy if you're tired" she offered worried about her savior.

"Okay" he agreed following after the prefect who skipped cheerfully down the street while he was stuck carrying their shopping bags...though to tell the truth he had offered to carry them.

Kaname hadn't been able to get to sleep. All night he'd been tossing and turning in his bed trying to get comfortable but he couldn't find a position that let him get to sleep with the thoughts of what he'd seen through the window plaguing his tired mind.

He was thankful that Yuuki hadn't been able to see what he had.

When he did finally manage to get to sleep defiant violet eyes haunted his dreams. The owner of them staring down at him as if daring anyone to touch him because if they did he would bite their head off.

It disturbed him almost that someone who appeared so subjugated could still look so defiant and determined. In such a supposedly relaxed seductive pose in the chair with his arms above him head and his legs spread its not until you look closing that he was chained and shackled in that position dressed in nothing more than a skimpy maid outfit that hung off his thin shoulders.

It was a glass only vampires could see through...a memory from years ago came to mind.

It had been Christmas Day four years ago and he'd gone to visit Yuuki but he'd ended up having a conversation with the Chairman as she played with her presents.

'Kaname-kun...when the war ended didn't you ever wonder what happened to all the hunters' Cross had commented 'They didn't just drop their weapons and go get day jobs I'll tell you that...'

'What do you mean?' he'd asked.

'I for one never thought of you as naive just use your imagination' Cross told him pushing his glasses back up the bridge of his nose.

After four years ago he'd never heard about the Hunters Association again, it had disappeared and the Council had taken over their head quarters. It had never crossed his mind something like he was thinking had happened. He believed there was peace that the Hunters had surrendered and left the Vampires to control the Level E's.

Suddenly he shot out of bed and quickly got dressed again.

He had to go back.
