Vampire Knight (Kaname Kuran X OC X Senri)

Chapter 7 (Kaname's perspective)

"Kaname...everyone has already gathered downstairs."

The pureblood was seated behind his large wooden desk in his office. His eyes remained glued on the door. Of course he heard Ichijo's call but simply chose to ignore.

"Kaname...?"

This time however Takuma sounded like he was in hesitance. The lack of response made his friend worry and Kaname felt selfish for not levitating his friend of such hassle. The blonde had so much on his shoulders since he has been unable to attend classes properly.

Takuma called couple more times. However the brunette only removed his gaze from the door and focused them on the chess board setup before him. He had been thinking about playing for while, maybe this would not be a bad time.

"Don't worry about class, I will manage it tonight. You take rest Kaname." Ichijo finally gave up. He was smart enough to understand his foul mood.

Once Ichijo's footsteps away he breathed in a good load of air, slouched his shoulder, ran a hand through his head before reclining back on his seat to gaze at the empty ceiling. He probably would have lost his eyes there but was forced to tear his gaze away once Yuki's frightened face flashed before him. And his heart tightened. It happened every time he recalled that face of her. The shock, the fear she received from the very sight of him drinking blood of another.

It was all done for her betterment, her safety. He reminded himself constantly. But if only she knew that he intentionally kept the gap on the door because he wanted, no he needed for her to see what vampires are capable of in their lustful state and he was no different!

Standing up, he left behind his desk and walked to the terrace attached to his suite. Even before putting his first step onto the balcony he felt the air caress his body. The temperature was cold but not cold enough to effect him. He closed his eyes and leaned down on the hand rail to feel the chill of the evening wind. He felt his hair move in every direction but he could careless to fix them.

Yuuki...Yuuki...Yuuki...

His heart gave out few unstable beat and his blood ran cold. If only she knew how much it hurt, the pain it gave him, to see her withdraw from him. If only she understood how lonely he was without her.

Kaname sighed, a sigh that reflected his real state of mind, that loneliness, that helplessness...

His heart has been wondering since then if ever a time would come when Yuuki will once again be his? Oh much he would sacrifice for that for a day like that. He would do anything and everything in his power to have her back in his arms once more.

Anything for you, my sweet Yuuki...

"Good evening Kaname-kun!"

The chairman answered the door. Kaname was not shocked by it. However, the fact that it was not Yuki who answered the door like before saddened him. He missed the way she always shyly smiled while flushed face and eyes lighted with excitement. It was his only source of light to live this life.

"Please come in and make yourself comfortable. I'll go get tea. Without tea and biscuits conversations are always bland don't you agree?"

Even before he took the seat the chairman rushed into the kitchen and came out with a tray full of various kinds of cookies and two cups of tea. Kaname noted how extra hyper the chairman was. Cross had a bubbly personality but before him he mostly kept his serious side. So what was so special about this day that he could barely hide his excitement? Has something happened that he does not know off?
