So what do you think?

Chapter 23 Freedom

Yuki flys out the window, getting not far hearing the windows crack behind her. She knows Kaname found the body. She keeps going, doing her best not to look back. Knowing its too late to anyway.

She flys into town, sliding into Zero's apartment window. Not able to wait to see him. To be with him.

Zero is sitting on the sofa watching tv. He sees a butterfly come in through the window.

 "Yuki is that you?" Zero asks. Yuki turning into her human form, right in front of him. "Yes, it's me. It's over." She replies. Running over to him. Giving him a big hug. "I missed you so much Zero," Yuki says. "Same here. IS everything ok?" Zero asks. "Yes. The plan is now in full gear. He thinks I'm dead. I am sure the Association will find out. So please make it be a surprise to you." Yuki says. Sitting on the sofa in Zeros arms

. "Ok, Its so nice to have you here with me. I just hope he believes it was you." Zero replies. "He will. He has no reasons not to. He was trying so hard to make things better. I just know, once he hears about the child nothing will ever be the same." Yuki answers. "Are you here with me because of the child or because you want to be with me Yuki? If you didn't want to leave him. Then this isn't going to work." Zero responds.

"I did this for both. I want to be with you. I always have. I missed you so much. All I could think about was that night we shared. Always wondering how it was to be with you. I wanted so much more. Then after finding out, I was pregnant, I knew I had to do this. I can't let him hurt our child."Yuki states. "And if it's his?" Zero replies. "Then I am sorry, I don't want you to be stuck with a child thats, not yours. I didn't want this. It just happened."Yuki comments. "I won't be stuck. What if its mine? Do you feel the same?" Zero asks. "No, I am hoping so badly that it's yours. It brings so much joy to my heart to think it's yours. I want it very much."Yuki answers. "Than no matter what, it is mine," Zero says. Holding her tight.

 She lays in his arms, being close to him. Every now and then he sees her watching the door. Like someone or thing is going to burst through it. He knows she is scared. He just tries to comfort her. Hoping they are safe while they are here. He just feels they should be. At the moment Kaname would never believe she was with him.

"Yuki, Why do you smell different? I don't sense the pureblood? I barely sense the vampire?"Zero asks. "Good its setting in. I took the pill Hanabusa gave me before I left. I asked him to make it for me. So that it will mask it. Where ever we go, I can't have that following me around. This way no one will know. So I guess now you don't have to worry. I'm not a pureblood." Yuki giggles. "You are full of surprises you know that?" Zero asks. "Yes. I had to think about everything. I had to be one step ahead of him. If I didn't, we would all be in trouble. I don't want him to hurt you. I want you to train me Zero. Teach me how to fight. I want to know how to handle myself."Yuki says. "You know how to shoot, and how to handle yourself now. I can teach you a few more things. We want to start before you get to big. I don't want to harm the child." Zero states. "Thats fine." Yuki remarks. 

"How long are we going to stay here, before I ask for the transfer?" Zero asks. "I would say about two months as long as everything goes well. if we ask too soon it may look suspicious. This way you can say you want to get away. There is nothing here for you. You want to move on. Kaien and Yagari I am sure would believe it." Yuki replies. "Yes, it's not all a lie. Just going to the states? I am not sure about. Maybe to China instead? We can fit in there. It would be more believable than going to the states. I know you want far away but we have to be reasonable." Zero claims. "I know we do. Just what makes you think we will be safe there? In the US Kaname has no reasons to ever go there. He has no friends there. I am not sure." Yuki answers. "Its more believable if I transfer to China. It's far enough away from him. Plus now your scent is covered. No one will suspect." Zero responds. "Ok If that is what you want. Then you got it. "Yuki comments. Hugging him tighter. Falling asleep in his arms.

She finally feels safe enough to sleep All curled up in Zero's arms like a small child. Zero just looks at her in his arms. Taking in her features. So happy she is there with him. Wanting to always be with her. It's more than he could ask for. He wants to keep her safe. The child to. He just hopes he can.
