"Ah-"

Her mouth parted the instant his blood met the air and crimson saturated her eyes a dark red. They vanished beneath the fringe of her long hair as her head dipped down. Blood trickled to the floor beneath, small splatters upon the hard tile before she could stop them from being lost. No more, she thought, predatory, as his own life poured down the sides of his arm.

A shudder of pleasure wracked her body the moment her lips wrapped around his wrist and she tasted his blood for the first time. It was completely different, separate, for sure, from the all too familiar taste of Kaname. Intoxicated she drew harder, while both hands wound around his wrist to support it in place.

Emotion struck her first before all else, quick to flood her body as his confusion and feelings swept through her like a strong current. Uncertainty, determination, among a myriad of other feelings and some that contradicted one another were immediately felt. As much as she desired to dig deeper, his mind opened up to her, to reveal that future she had yet to experience for herself.

A time similar to this flashed through her mind, where she took Zero's blood for her own, and further yet a confrontation with Kaname, truths revealed while her heart broke. Further and further she spiraled into the recesses of his mind, before she forcefully pulled herself back.

Two tears slide down either side of her cheeks as she finally released his arm. She was stunned, heartache strong and she had to take a moment to fully come to grips with what she had just witnessed. The pit in her stomach knotted tight, and she clenched her teeth to swallow back the emotion that rose to her throat.

With the back of her hand, she wiped the blood from her mouth, and drew a breath. Even her chest hurt. She hadn't known it was possible for her heart to break even further. At last she looked up at him. Both eyes full of tears, she reached up to cup his cheeks within the palms of her hands. Numb, she shook her head.

"I-- Zero, until now I never realized..."

Her arms slide around him to wrap about his neck and she hugged him tightly to her. All of this time, it had been due to her family, that he had lost his own.

"I'm so sorry."
