Chapter 184 part 2 KNock KNock

Zero and Yuki wake up together, seeing that Kaname never came to bed. Zero knows, that he let them have the night to themselves. He was grateful for it. If it had to be like this, it wasn't all that bad. It was doable. He was glad that Yuki let herself go last night. They were closed for the first time in a while. He could feel it. It was different. He also saw that even though, she got him and Kaname at the same time, she wasn't all that excited about it. She was doing it to keep all of this together. Doing it to keep Kaname happy, and to thank him for everything, he has done for her. He knew she was stuck in the middle of them like she always was.

Zero also laid there and thought about, who would want to be with him? Or want them apart? Was this really Nicole? When he was with her, he could see how much, she did care for him. But all this? None of it made any sense to him. Nicole to him was just a simple human girl. Why would she want to get involved with Ryan? Zero had so many questions swirling around in his mind. Not wanting to let on, to worry Yuki. He knew this was hard for her and he didn't want to make it any worse. Their relationship wasn't on solid ground. He knew he had to watch, what he did until she would get closer to him. Trust him again.

While he is laying there Yuki snuggles closer to him. Laying a tender kiss on his lips.

"Good morning," Yuki says. "Morning." Zero replies. "Last night was very nice. I love being that close to you." Zero admits. "It was very nice. I want to talk to Hanabusa today. I need to see if he knows who Ryan is talking to. We need to end whatever this is. So we can have more nights like last night. I want to take away whoever is trying to take you away from me." Yuki states. "I am sorry for everything, that we have gone through. I don't understand why someone would want to do this to us. " Zero answers. "I guess we will find out. We have a lot of darkness in our life at the moment. I am the one who should say sorry. I am the reason this is happening. I just had to have you." Yuki says. "I don't want you saying things like that. It's not true. I wanted you as well. I am as much to blame. I didn't think about anything either. I let my emotions take over. Not even caring that I took you away from your husband. I know I hate Kaname But thinking back on it. It was a lousy thing to do. Even to him. I just let my want for you and hate for him ride me. But if what Kaname is saying is true. That its someone that supposedly wants me, none of that has anything to do with it. It's just someone wanting what they can't have." Zero replies.

"That all so means all this time we thought it was Sara because of Kaname and it wasn't. She was being used. She was just a pawn. The person knew how she felt about Kaname, maybe even knew about their son. This person is close to us, but I am not sure who? I mean Hanabusa doesn't want you and would never do a thing to Kaname. Takuma is scared to death of me. He may hate me, but he for sure doesn't love you." Yuki says. "It wouldn't be them, that would want me, just the woman they are working for. Just who would she be?"Zero asks. "Neither of them know Nicole. I don't think its either of them. We don't talk to anyone really. We left Cross and that life behind years ago. Yagari was happy to see you away from me. He may know more than he said. He was in the middle of you leaving me. He also knows Nicole. He may be a key to this as well. I will let Kaname know later when I speak to him." Yuki says.

"Do you really think he would go this far?" Zero asks. "I have no clue. I would have never thought he would of let me hurt like that. Thinking you were dead when you weren't. He came to your funeral and gave me his sorrows that you posted. He lied to me up close and personal on a day I was doing everything to keep myself together. I wouldn't put him past it." Yuki states.
