A/N: Umm...hello everyone! So, this is my first fanfic and I just want you to know that I'm not an expert on Vampire Knight so some of the characters may act a little differently than they should. However, I'm really happy that I've finally had the guts to post this story. I'm not really confident in myself, you see and so this is a really big step for me.

Anyway, I really love Kaname and Zero so much and thought it would be a shame if I won't give them a little tribute and so, here I am! I hope you'll enjoy this and I'm sorry if this is a short chapter. I promise I'll try harder for the next one.^^

Disclaimer: I don't own Vampire Knight and any of its characters.

I hate him.

I hate his attitude, his arrogance, and his pride. I hate how he continually opposes me when he would have fallen long ago without my help. He despises me with every fiber of his being and doesn't shy away from showing it. He spites my every action, cursed my very being and calls me a monster. Why? What right does he have to say this to me while he is the one who can't control the beast within? While he sinks his fangs in her neck?

"Beautiful, isn't he?" Rido smiled cruelly. "Easily breakable and yet..." He tilted the other's neck back and nuzzled it. "He still fights me with everything he's got. I haven't had such difficulty in entering another's mind since this one. How refreshing!"

I hate him.

I hate how he could be with her when I can't. I hate how easily he was able to make her care for him. He is rude, disrespectful, angry, and yet she still feels for him. Why? What is it with him that makes her care for him so much? Why is he deserving of such love? Such devotion? He is nothing! He takes her blood! So why? Why am I the one looking at her from afar instead of him?

"He hasn't even made a sound yet when I know he's in so much pain now..." He looked at me from behind long, dark locks. "I wonder if I can change that...Do you think he'll make a beautiful sound?" He licked the neck lovingly. "Hmm, Kaname?"

And yet he didn't deserve this...

"Let go of him, Rido." I stated calmly. "Get out of his mind."

"Why? Aren't you the one who wanted him tamed? You were the one who blackmailed him into killing me if I've read his memories right. You wanted him as your dear sister's shield, remember?" He said tauntingly. "I can train him for you, dear nephew. I promise you won't regret it. He'll be a perfect little puppet when I'm done with him."

No, he didn't deserve any of this...

I narrowed my eyes at Rido, flexing my hands at my side. "Rido..."

"Oh! Don't be like that Kaname! I'm only trying to help." Rido's eyes turned crimson and his aroused fangs peeped from behind his amused lips. "Well then, won't you let me taste him at least?"

I'm so sorry...

Without waiting for a reply, Rido sinks his fangs in the vulnerable neck bared in front of him, tearing flesh brutally. And although I can't deny that the smell of his blood is exquisite, I am trapped by the sound of his horrible, horrible screams.

Zero...

To Be Continued...
