"Iced Coffee"

Chapter 1

Vulnerable

It was, a hot night.

The luminescent moonlight bathed the room through it's window. Everything was peaceful, the creatures around Cross Academy, lay quiet through out the night, with the wind, rattling the leaves as it passes, the place seemed so safe, and yet, sprawled on her bed, Yuuki Cross was wide awake, her coffee hued eyes like big circles, giving the room a lonely aura.

She was alone every night since her two best friends got,.. together.

She never thought it was possible, somehow, she had this idea that Zero would always wait for her until she got over Kuran Kaname, the thought of him moving on with someone other than herself seemed so impossible, but it happened, and she knew she was being selfish of Zero, like a kid who won't share an old toy that she doesn't play with anymore just to have it for her self.

Until the wee hours of the night, she stayed on her bed, thinking to herself, alone, in her room. Sweat trickling from her forehead to her delicious neck, Yuuki got up and decided on a nice cold, shower. Flexing her arm to reach the switch, the light flickered open, and she staggered to the bathroom.

With a squeak, the shower busted to life and mist filled the room.

Yuuki thought deeply while she showered.

' Time to get my happy mask back on for stupid old Kaname'

Never in her life, she thought this grimly of her hero, but after years of tiresome chasing after him with not even a clue that he liked her back, she eventually grew tired of it, because even as a child she always knew, at the back of her head, that Kaname Kuran, her child hood crush and puppy love, would never see her like the way she wanted him to.

"U-WaaAh!" Snored Hanabusa Aidou in his sleep, earning him a pillow to the groin from his cousin, Akatsuki Kain.

Along with the pillow came: "If you don't stop snoring, I'm gonna make sure you won't have kids!"

Kain's blabbering woke the blond from his beauty sleep.

"What was that?" Aidou mumbled half-asleep.

All stressed out, Kain plopped down again, and squeezed his head with his other pillow with a loud. 'UGH'

Dismissing his cousin's 'weird' behavior, he sat up on his bed and gazed at the Sun Dorms, scanning for his favorite girl's room. Once spotted, his' lips pursed into a cocky smile.

'Couldn't hurt to see whats up with little miss prefect.' Aidou thought as he pulled up his pants, buttoning his shirt only halfway up, he ventured out of his and Kain's room, quiet as a mouse, he tip-toed his way through the moon dorms, and he was out.

"OooFf!" Zero's muffled voice was heard through the pillow Yori held against his face.

"Wake up!" Yori commanded and whacked her, dare I say, boyfriend with the pillow. Zero's hand moved from under the covers and removed the offensive pillow from his face and peeked an eye out to see what Yori wants.

Seeing that he was awake Yori started to vent her concerns to Zero.

"I don't think that leaving Yuuki alone in the other dorm is very nice, I mean, we are her friends, we shouldn't shun her away"

"What if something happens and she's alone, your room is way too far for us to reach her in time if ever-" Yori exclaimed sadly with a face that screamed out her concern for Yuuki.

Zero was never a romantic person, he didn't deal well with girls, he didn't know how to handle them, come to think of it he can't handle a guy either, in short, he wasn't a people person, nor a vampire person, but Yori always understood, she always knew even when they weren't an item yet. That's why he chose her over Yuuki, even if that was the hardest choice he had to make.

Rolling his eyes, he reached for the little of her back and 'tried' to reassure her the best he could.

"You've seen her in action, she can take care of herself" He only said this to make Yori feel better, but deep down he was worried, too.

"Maybe we shouldn't always sleep together" Yori suggested, making Zero's silver slits widen, showing that he didn't fancy the idea.

"Uh, how bout when your ovulating, that's when we don't sleep together"

Yori made a face.

"Fine, I'll check on her from time to time, now can I get some sleep?"

Yori just sighed and her green eyes slowly narrowed and she fell asleep.

Clad in a pink towel, Yuuki slipped out of the bathroom, refreshed, clean and dripping, drying her hair with another towel, she walked over to her dresser and grabbed her uniform and some clean underwear.

Her guard was obviously down, ever since she was left alone, she always felt completely safe and need I mention, alone, she dropped her pink towel on the floor leaving her body completely exposed to the dry air, and to the eyes that watched her from Yori's empty bed.

Trying his best to keep his nose from exploding with a month's worth of blood tablets, Aidou Hanabusa continued to stalk Yuuki's naked form, keeping his 'thing' in check the best he could.

But of course the said girl just had to turn around facing Aidou's position, showing off her, well, everything.

Icy blue eyes popped out of their sockets and his mouth, gaped wider than necessary, losing his balance, he landed on his butt, his back crashed against the night stand causing the lampshade to fly to the bed. God help him that Yuuki would be dumb enough to not look for the source of ruckus.

'She would tell Kaname-sama about this and he'll have my handsome, perfect head on a platter' Aidou thought in fear.

He faced the wall, clasped his hands together in a begging manner, and prayed his ass to hell he'd get out of this alive.

Fully alarmed Yuuki grabbed her towel and wrapped it securely around her body, scanning the room for any unwanted visitors, when she found none, she relaxed and dismissed the idea of someone breaking an entry into a school filled with vampires and students like Zero who will shoot anyone who trespassed around here.

' Probably just a rat on booze'

Should I Continue? or is it crap and I should delete this?

Review pleasE!
