Chapter 67 I'm Sorry

The trail begins, being splattered all over the news. Papers filed with Lord King, Kaname Kuran kills wife in a rage over her cheating ways. 

Yuki watching tv sees this and her heart sinks. She knows, he didn't kill her. His face plastered all of the tv. She feels terrible. This isn't what she wanted. This would bring so much pain to everyone involved. No to even say how much spotlight.

"Hello," Zero says. "Zero, did you see the news? Why are they all of a sudden doing this to him? He didn't do anything. He doesn't deserve this." Yuki huffs. "They have been doing this to him the whole time. I guess they finally found evidence to use against him." Zero admits. "You knew and never told me?" Yuki spats. "Why? It wasn't going anywhere. Till now." Zero answers. "They are saying, I was cheating and he killed me for it," Yuki replies. "He almost did, so it's not all a lie. That bastard is getting what he deserves. Even if you don't think so. He hurt you badly. All those nights you were terrified, he was coming to get you again? Have you forgotten?" Zero yells. "No, but I also have forgiven him. I did a lot of things, I shouldn't of. I hurt him. I should of went around it a different way." Yuki states. "There is no going back now. Just relax. He will get out of it. He always slithers out of it." Zero answers.

Yuki hangs up with Zero not feeling any better. All she could think about is all the pain this will bring to Kaname and Ai. That neither of them deserves this. Making all this public wasn't going to make it good either. Her face was spattered all over the news. If anyone would recognize her she was doomed. She never expected this to happen. Still not knowing why they would claim he killed her. Its been ten years.

She sits there thinking all kinds of things as the hours pass her by. Zero coming home, from work. She just runs to him. Holding him close to her.

"Are you ok?" Zero asks. "No, This can hurt all of us. Not only him. If he ever says who I was cheating with. They will come after you. They will want you to get on the stand. I can't make you lie." Yuki says. "I lied all these years whats a little more?" Zero chuckles. "It's not funny Zero. None of this is. There are innocent children in the mix of this. They will want to hurt our children. They can not know about you or them. No matter what, you have to stay secret." Yuki answers. "Do you really think Kaname will protect me? Why? He hates me. So I Am sure he will say I was who you cheated with. Wanting them to come after me as well." Zero admits.

"He can't if I'm not dead. They can't go after him, and he can't go after you." Yuki replies. "What the hell does that mean? Yuki what the fuck are you thinking?" Zero shouts. "I need to go back to China. I need to appear. Or at least make people see me. To get it around I'm not dead. To get this to stop." Yuki states. "I can't let you go there. Are you crazy?" Zero spats. "No, I need to protect you the way you have me all these years. I need to protect our children. I didn't protect Ai. I can't do that again." Yuki responds. "What about us? Our children?" Zero asks. "You need to stay here with them. Acting as if you know nothing about any of it. When they ask where I was, I will just say I was hiding out. Going from town to town alone. I will not mention you." Yuki says. 

"Are you crazy? You're going back to the lion's den. He will never let you go. I may never see you again, you may never see our children again. If that is the case what the hell was the last ten years for?" Zero yells. "it was the best ten years of my whole life. I got to spend it with the man I love. I was free more than I ever was. I thank you for that. Nothing could ever change or take that away. I don't plan on staying there forever. Just making things right. "Yuki comments. "He will never let you go. You will never get to come back here to me. You reek of me. How are you going to be able to fix that?" Zero growls. "I will think of something. Maybe I can get a divorce? Make it that we can be with each other and married for real? I always wanted to give you that." Yuki states. "I know your heart is good. He will never make that happened. We couldn't tell anyone if we got married anyway. We still have to be in the dark for other reasons. Yuki this isn't a good idea." Zero says.

"I have to try. If they come here and look into things, they will find me. Our children. It will make things worse. You will lose everything because of me and I can't have that. You worked too hard. You have to protect Ichiru with everything you have. If they find out his life will be turned upside down." Yuki admits. "Same goes for Ren." Zero states.

Yuki stands still not sure how to answer that. Does she tell him the truth? She can't. To leave and also hit him with this? How much could one do to a person?

"Yes both of them need you." Yuki answers. "They need you too." Zero replies. "I am here for them. I will be back. I just need for you to be strong. To hold down our life." Yuki comments. "If you don't come back, there is no our life. I don't want to be left as you did him. We worked so hard for the life we have." Zero howls. "Thats why I don't want to lose it. I don't want them hurting you or our children. What do you think they will say, that I been here with you for ten years? Had two children with you? He will make a big stink about it. Just because it's you. You need to think of it my way." Yuki remarks. "Whatever. I see I can't change your mind. I just don't know what else to say." Zero responds.

Walking away and going upstairs filled with hurt, pain, and anger. His life was falling apart. He was now going to lose her as Kaname did. And she was going back to the devil who started it all. Zero feels defeated.
