Chapter 57 Part 2 Help

Yuki's heart beats fast with panic. Putting on the light and going over to Zero. Seeing he is still breathing. A slight relief hits her. Still wearing his work suit that is now covered in vomit. She walks to the bathroom. Getting a warm washcloth, going back into the bedroom. She moves Zero over on his back. Wiping down his face. "Zero you got it all over you. Are you ok? What's Wrong?" Yuki asks tenderly. "No. My.... head. Please..... help. "Zero answers quietly. Yuki nods. Seeing a nonsarcastic side of Zero at the moment. Doing her best to clean up his face. She sits him up on the floor, letting his back lean up against the bed for support. Unbuttoning his smelly vest and shirt. Taking them gently off his body. She whips down his neck and chest, doing her best to clean him up. Then drying him with a soft towel. Putting on a clean Pj top. Then she takes off his brown shoes and undoes his belt. Taking off his black pants. Sliding his PJs pants on him. Trying to make him clean, and also warm.

"There that should be more comfortable." She says. He just nods. Not able to open his eyes. "Here Let me help you back to bed." Yuki states. Helping him stand. Then walking him over to the bed and tucking him in. Getting another washcloth. This time cold and putting it on his head. As she goes to walk away, his hand grabs her arm. She just turns to look at him. "Thank you." He says softly. "Welcome. I am going to go clean up the floor. Then get you some tea. I will be right back. "Yuki responds. She cleans up the floor in his bedroom. Taking the awful smell away. Grabbing his clothes, washcloth, and towel. Bringing them with her downstairs to throw in the washer. She then gets him some hot tea. Bringing it to his room. Laying it on his bedside table.

"I will go now. I just came to see what was going on." Yuki says. "Please stay," Zero asks. Grabbing for her hand. Yuki a little in shock at his response. She just pulls the armchair closer to the bed and takes a seat. Zero still holding her hand. She knew to stay out of his bed since he never liked her in it. She felt a bit uncomfortable even being there. Yet her softer side couldn't help, but want to help him. IT was just the way she was. It was the true her. She stays there the rest of the night. Holding his hand, sitting in the armchair. She falls asleep next to his bed laying her head on the side. Making sure it didn't touch him.

He wakes up in the morning finding her there. Seeing it wasn't a dream. She was really there taking care of him. Even after everything he did to her. "Yuki.." Zero says. Yuki picking her head up. "How are you?" She asks. "My head is still spinning. Are you ok in that chair?" Zero asks. "Yes, I'm fine. Are you hungry at all? I can get you some toast?" Yuki asks. "Sure, get yourself some too." He replies. Yuki not sure this is the same Zero she has been around for months now. Thinking his head must really hurt. She goes downstairs and gets them some toast. Calling Kaname while she is down there.

 "Hey," She says. "Where are you? I got up and you were gone? Are you ok?" Kaname asks. "I am fine. I had to go see what was going on. He is sick. I am helping him get better. I will be home in a few hours." Yuki replies. "You have to be kidding me right? Why would you help him? Why would you go there?" Kaname barks. "I just felt the need to. He isn't being an ass at the moment. I won't be long. I promise." Yuki responds. Kaname takes a deep breath. Doing his best to hold in what he is really thinking. "Ok, don't stay long. If he starts acting like a fool. Leave. And please don't let him use you!" Kaname huffs. "I won't. Promise." Yuki answers. hanging up.

Then going back upstairs. Zero not looking much better. "Here is your toast," Yuki says. "Thank you. He isn't happy your here is he?" Zero asks. "No, not really. I told him. I will be home soon." Yuki replies. "I understand why he feels that way. He is only trying to protect you." Zero replies. "I know. Is your head feeling any better?" Yuki asks."Not much no. I have been like this a while now. The pain is crippling. My head feels like its going to burst." Zero explains. "I am sorry. Here take this, maybe it will help." Yuki says. "Thank you. Really. You didn't have to come to take care of me. I never thought you would." Zero admits. "I wasn't sure to come here or not. To be honest, I thought you were going to through me out. I know you don't like me here. So I am really sorry if I overstepped. Just on the phone, it sounded bad." Yuki states. "No, Please. If it wasn't for you, I would still be on the floor in my own vomit. God, that must have not been pretty." Zero remarks. "It wasn't but we have two kids. It's not the first time I have cleaned up vomit." Yuki states. "Still thank you. I'm not your child you didn't have to. After everything, I have done to you. You could have just left me here to rot." Zero answers. "Even though you see me as an evil ugly pureblood, I am not just that. I can be, I will admit it. But I am more than that." Yuki responds. "I know. I see that now. I see a lot more now." Zero admits. Just not telling her everything. Not even sure she would believe him. So taking it slow. He wanted to be around her, With her. He just didn't know how.

"I will make you some more to eat then head home," Yuki says. A panic in Zero takes over him. " I really don't feel well. Would it be too much to ask if you stayed?" Zero says quickly. "I promised Kaname I would be home. I can take you back to the Manor though. So you won't be alone and I can check in on you. That way he doesn't worry either." Yuki says. Zero seeing she cares about Kaname's feelings. Yet still happy she would at least take him with her. It was a start." Sure that sounds good. "Hmm, we are both in our PJs. Oh well, that's not really a biggy right?" Yuki laughs. "No," Zero smiles. Yuki goes over to his dresser and gets some of his clothes and things he will need. Packing them up and putting them in Zero's jeep. She then makes sure the house is locked up. Going back upstairs to get Zero. Helping him down the stairs and into the car.

His head feeling a little better. He just keeps that to himself. Feeling he can use this to be close to her. At least be around her. He would prefer her being at there home without Kaname, but he saw that wasn't happening. She wasn't going to be alone with him. Still thinking he would use her. He knew he would have to keep his hands to himself. To try to show his real feelings. Seeing this was going to be harder than he thought. She wasn't going to let go of Kaname any time soon. She had a bit more respect for him now. Also cared about how he felt. It was something Zero had to get used to again.
