Chapter 100

People at the party all talk about what Yuki just did, some still in shock. They thought this was a party to welcome her back, not leaving. They were shocked on many levels, from her saying she was leaving Kaname to her not wanting to be Queen any longer.  A lot of the council already knew about the queen as she never really was there for anything pertaining to work. That wasn't as big of a surprise than the other.

It leads them all thing think and talk more, of why she left all those years. It was to get away from Kaname. Them all asking the same question? Why? What where they both hiding? 

As the party settles down Kaname goes over to Yuki, Standing right next to her.

"Are you happy now?" Kaname asks.

"Yes, I will be leaving as soon as we go home. That wasn't really to hurt you Kaname, it was to set myself free." Yuki admits.

"I held too tight, now I must let go. If they ever find out about him, he is in trouble. You know that right? You know how they feel. You will never be able to be free with him. All this freedom that you're looking for, won't be with him. You will always have to hide who you really are." Kaname admits.

"That may be true but in a way, I am not hiding, only that I am a pureblood nothing else. Our relationship is real and ours. I hid for ten years trying to keep it under wraps. The only thing I hated was I couldn't be free with him, more scared that you would find out then, anything. Now I don't have to worry about that. I also don't have to come back to save you from anything." Yuki answers.

"No one will ever be able to know he is your husband if you do that. Nothing changes that unless your looking for him to be dead?" Kaname replies.

"I don't need anyone to know that I am his wife. I need to know it. I want him in every sense of the word Kaname. I am sorry, I just need to live my own life, the way I want it, and with who I want it with. That just happens to be with him." Yuki responds

"Are you taking Ren with you?" Kaname asks.

"No, She would like to stay with you a bit longer. I will not get in the way of that Kaname, I feel she should be queen, not Ai. She is stronger than Ai in many ways and can look objectively at things. But it is your choice who you choose, I will honor it either way. They are both our children. I just thought I would voice my opinion." Yuki remarks.

"You have come a long way. You would now make a wonderful Queen. I see so much growth in you. It doesn't even seem like you at times. " Kaname admits.

"Time helps you grow, sometimes into something you never thought was possible. I want you to be happy Kaname. In many ways, I am sorry it has to end this way. " Yuki Confesses.

"End? It's just beginning my love." Kaname says with a wink as he walks away.

Kaname didn't know how to feel, in one way he saw this smart, take charge woman in front of him, which made him proud. To see her grow and mature into what she has. In another way he was sad that she was leaving him behind. She was doing her best to get as far away from him as possible. Wanting to be everything Zero every wanted and needed. 

Kaname also knew that wasn't going to be easy. She would have to curb the pureblood side of herself so no one could sense it. She would still be hiding, nothing would ever change that. Zero was a hunter/vampire.  He knew Zero would never give up being a Hunter it was in his blood. It would also be his death.
