There was a place at Cross Academy where people (or vampires) with the headmaster’s express permission could go.  It was past the Moon and Sun dorms, past the tree grove, past the horse stable, pastures, and riding ring.  There was a large lake that was often inhabited by fish, swans, and such.  Large boulders were willy-nilly by the lake and in the lake.  Yuki Cross sat on the largest rock.  It was so hot outside that she was in her undershirt and skirt.  She sat cross-legged with her head in her hand looking out into the lakes depths, her mind wandering.  
She was thinking about what Zero had said to her in the café about being afraid to go outside the school.  ‘Maybe it’s true…’ Yuki thought.  Zero had also made the comment that not all vampires were as “well-behaved” as Kaname Kuran.  Yuki blushed just thinking about him.  
      Can I ask you a question, Please?
      Promise me you won’t laugh at me?
Kaname had saved her life twice so far.  It was only natural that she feel this sense of… affection towards him.  Right?  She had given him a chocolate for St. Xocolatl’s Day after all.  That meant something.  It was said that when someone gave another person chocolate, it was a proclamation of love towards the other person.  So did this mean she loved him?
     Honestly I’m standing here
     Afraid I’ll be betrayed…
He had called her “warm-hearted” and “my dear girl”.  ‘He must feel something, I know that I do.’ she thought.   A bubble of hope began to swell inside of her, but as soon as it started, it popped.  She remembered she had told Zero that Kaname probably thought of her as a stray animal and that there was a line between Vampires and Humans that can’t cross.
     As twisted as it seems
     I only fear love when it’s in my dreams,
     So let in the morning light
     And let the darkness fade away…
The heat was starting to get to her.  She looked at the lake; the water looked cool enough to go for a dip.  She had forgotten her bathing suit in her dorm and was not planning on going back for it, so she striped to her bra and panties (A. N. that is what I would do), and dove in.
     Can you turn my black roses red?
     Can you turn my black roses red?
Kaname had watched her leave her dorm and go into the woods.  He knew where she was going.  She often went to the lake when she was confused and troubled.  He left his dorm and silently followed her.  She took a detour through the stables to see the horses, while staying away from Lily.   When she finally reached the lake, she sat down on the nearest rock.
    Drowning in my loneliness
    How long must I hold my breath?
    So much emptiness inside
I could fill the deepest sea…
She sat there, quietly thinking, while he stood behind a tree watching her quietly.  She was so small but her courage was overpowering.  She never gave up, and she always stood up for vampires when they were being called monsters.  She, like the headmaster, believed in pacifism between vampires and humans.  She had no idea how much of a monster a vampire could be.  Her experiences should have proved that, but she stubbornly disagreed.  
    I reach to the sky
    As the moon looks on,
   My one last tear,
   Has come and gone,
   Time to let your love rain down on me…
‘She’s so innocent’ he thought sighing and looked up at the moon.  She was his, the only one in the entire world that mattered to him, but she still perused Kiryu.  It mad him seethe with anger when she smiled at him, softly blushing.  He knew that she held a place for the both of them in her heart, but she could not have both of them, eventually, she had to choose.  
    Can you turn my black roses red?
    Can you turn my black roses red?
    Can you turn my black roses red?
He saw her move to take off her clothes, he turned around to give her some privacy (he could still be the gentlemen even if she didn’t know he was there).  He turned back around to see her dive into the lake.   He walked towards the lake, she came up for air and saw him. Her eyes went wide when she saw him.  He unbuttoned his shirt and dove in too.  
    Cause I feel alive
    I’m living on love
    I feel alive
    I’m living on love
    I feel alive
    I’m living on love
    ya ya
Yuki was surprised when Kaname splashed into the lake.  
“What are you doing here?” she asked him
“The same thing you’re doing here” he replied with a smile, she blushed.
“Seriously, what are you doing here?  Only people with permission can come here.”  She was becoming serious now, he could tell.
“I have permission from the headmaster himself.”
“Oh…” she was embarrassed now.  She had been so mean.
“Sorry,” she said not looking at him.
“It’s all right, you were just doing your job.”
    I feel alive
    I’m living on love
    I feel alive
    I’m living on love
    I feel alive
    I’m living on love
They floated quietly, she couldn’t look at him, but she was the only thing he could look at.  
“I heard about your little run in with Lily.” He said trying to break the silence.
“That horse is evil!” she exclaimed.  “She kicked me in the butt, and it hurt!”
“I would suspect so.”  They went back to silence.  
“I love it here, it is so beautiful.” She said trying to make conversation.
“Yes, you are.” (A.N. awwww… classic line, but I had to use it). She flushed scarlet and turned around so he could not see, but he already saw.
   Can you turn my black roses red?
   Can you turn my black roses red?
   Can you turn my black roses red?
Kaname could tell that he was finally getting to her.  
“Why do you do that?” He asked.
“Do what?” she asked still turned away.
“Turn away from me.  You’re beautiful when you blush.”  Yuki blushed harder, if that was possible.
“I… I don’t know.”
“Then turn around.  Please…”
   Cause I’m feeling alive
   Living on love
   I feel alive
   I’m living on love
   I feel alive
   I’m living on love
She slowly turned around.  Her wet hair clung to her face, she was blushing furiously as she tried to look at him in the eyes.   He gently brought her face to his and kissed her.
   I feel alive
   I’m living on love
   I feel alive
   I’m living on love
   I feel alive
   I’m living on love?
She gently leaned into the kiss, but he suddenly broke the kiss.  They stared at each other for a minute in silence.  She took his face in her hands and kissed him again, and he copied.  Aido had been somewhat right.  Yuki was in ecstasy, but he wasn’t sinking his teeth into her neck.  
  Cause I feel alive
  I’m living on love
  I feel alive
  I’m living on love
  I feel alive
  I’m living on love

  I feel alive
  I’m living on love
  I feel alive
  I’m living on love
  I feel alive
  I’m living on love
