Chapter 20 Chat.

The next Day, Hanabusa is ready to go see Zero. Kaname is still away, so he knows he is free to come and go as he wishes. Which Kaname really never cared where he went. It was Yuki he didn't want to leave the Mansion. Hanabusa picks up the bag left for him to take to Zero's. Heading into town. Still a little worried about what could come out of this. There is a lot on the line and he knows it.

Once at the apartment, Hanabusa bangs on Zeros front door.

 "Hi, I am here for what Yuki told you." Hanabusa states. Walking in Zero's apartment. "Yes. I got it. It should do the trick. It matches her perfectly. I just don't know how exactly she is going to do this?" Zero admits. "I don't either. SHe is just adamant about doing it." Hanabusa says. "Does she want away from him that badly?" Zero asks. "I don't think its entirely that. From what she told me. It seems to be more because of the child. If it turns out to be yours, Kaname will send it away. She is doing her best to protect it." Hanabusa admits. "I just hope she doesn't regret it afterward."Zero comments. "She will be happy to be free from him. That house. The only thing she will miss is Ai, But like she said. To save one child, she has to give up the other." Hanabusa replies.

 "I am sorry she has to do that. She seemed a little distant. A little scared to be around me when she came to see me. Does she still feel the same way about me?" Zero asks. "I believe she loves you very much. She is just trying to heal from what he did to her." Hanabusa answers. "What did he do? That bastard!" Zero shouts. "Zero I am going to be very honest with you. You just need to not overreact. If you do it will ruin all of this. Which may be worse for Yuki and your child." Hanabusa says. Zero just nods.

"When we went home that night, I knew Kaname would know she was with you. In vampire life, we can scene another's smell. Yuki was covered in yours. Her whole being was. Not only sexually, but in her blood. When she walked in he knew right off the bat. Sending him into despair. I have never seen anything like it. He took her in every way, to get your scent off of her. He beat, raped, abused, and took her blood. Leaving her almost to death. Making the night you two spent disappear. Making her only see pain. So when she came to you. I am sure she didn't want your scent anywhere on her. Knowing he would go insane. She is going to be that way for a while. I wouldn't expect her all over you. Thats going to take time." Hanabusa states. "How could he? Why? I thought he loved her?" Zero says sadly taking a seat on his sofa. "He does. More than anything else in the world. Its why he couldn't control the beast inside him. It hurt him so much he just attacked. Its why she is so scared of him." Hanabusa answers. "Has he hurt her since?" Zero asks.

"No, he hasn't touched her. He feels ashamed and hurt by his actions. He is trying everything to make it up to her. Even willing to take her out. She changed. She talks back to him. Tells him no. He lets her knowing he hurt her badly. She asked him to spare us. In return he did. Because he felt so bad. Otherwise, both of us would be the ash you know." Hanabusa confesses. "She is always saving me. Protecting me. I couldn't protect her from him. I told her not to go back there. She wouldn't listen to me." Zero snaps. "It wouldn't matter. It would have only made it worse. If she would have found her with you. He would have killed you both. He was so overtaken that night. Anything was possible." Hanabusa remarks.

 "Than we will do it her way. I will get her out of there. Anythingythig she needs." Zero responds. "What if it's not yours? Can you really take it? Live with the constant reminder?" Hanabusa asks. "I will try. I know it will be hard. But for her, I will do anything. I am not going to push her away again. She needs me more now than ever." Zero replies. "Yes, she does. Here she wanted me to give you this bag. Its just hair dye and underwear for when she comes here. She said she isn't taking anything with her. So he can't trace anything. So she will only have the clothes on her back." Hanabusa responds. "That is fine. We can get her anything she needs. Tell her that. Tell her I love her. I will be there for her. Always." Zero states. "I will. Once she leaves the Mansion, she is all yours. I will have to step back and act like I know nothing. No matter what happens." Hanabusa reveals. "I know. I also understand. Thank you for all your help. It's greatly appreciated." Zero remarks. "Like you. I would do anything for her. She has become a great friend." Hanabusa says. Walking out the door. Hoping that everything goes well.
