Ominous Hours, a Vampire Knight fanfiction. Written by atemu-mana, otherwise known as Kiyu Yuu. The story is set right after chapter 46. Pairing set is Kaname and Yuuki. Zero will appear, somehow.

Full summary below:

Zero and Yuuki separated with Yuuki following Kaname to proceed life with the one she truly loved while Zero continued his life as a Vampire Hunter. He swore he'll kill her if they meet and she'll hide from him to give him a reason to live. Time passed, Yuuki and Kaname had a family of their own but situation was in the brink of madness within the vampires' society as Kaname was labelled mad by almost all the vampires for killing the Council of Ancients. Kaname and Yuuki hid themselves and with some trusted companions, they managed to gain control of the situation. Will they succeed in the end to gain peace that somehow refused to appear? Will Kaname and Yuuki survive this new journey of theirs?

Do you still feel scared...

Ignore those, Yuuki.

Still feel scared after getting your memories back?

Ignore it, Yuuki!

No...

Yuuki!

No...

Yuuki! Wake up!

No!

"AAAAAAAAAAAAH!"

The door stormed wide open with Kaname rushing into Yuuki's room. He went to her side and gave her a gentle shake to her small body. "Yuuki, wake up, please. Wake up. You're having a nightmare. Yuuki!" Kaname called. He noticed her face looked strained as if she was in danger. "Yuuki," he started slowly. "Wake up, Yuuki. Wake up, I am here."

Sob of tears were heard from Yuuki as she slowly opened her eyes. She clutched Kaname's shirt tightly and continued crying on his chest. "Kaname... Kaname nii-sama..." she said along her tears. Kaname brought Yuuki close to him and hugged her as he let her cry until she's done. He patted her head to soothe her with a whisper of, "Just cry, Yuuki. Let your tears out. Let it out. Let it be."

After a while, the tears finally stopped and Yuuki let herself free from Kaname's protective arms. "Thank you, nii-sama," she said as she bowed down and still looked upset. Kaname only looked at Yuuki shortly before he lifted her chin and asked what was wrong. Yuuki shook her head and said it was nothing.

"Why must you lie to me, Yuuki?" asked Kaname, looking down.

Yuuki blinked and looked at Kaname. "Wh.. What do you mean, nii-sama? I didn't—"

"Lied. You lied. Your eyes wouldn't be running wild if you're not upset. I know that nature of yours."

Naturally, her hands touched the area of her eyes and she realized she wasn't looking straight. Oh no! She replied, "Uh... It's nothing, Kaname nii-sama. Nothing at all!"

Kaname nodded and rose from her bed. He touched her hair and said, "Very well. When you're ready, do tell me about it. However, if the dreams are too frequent, I'm afraid I have no choice but to—"

"I will tell you..." said Yuuki as she paused before continuing. "When I am ready, I would tell you, Kaname nii-sama!"

Kaname nodded for the second time and walked towards the door. "Have a good night," said Kaname as he closed the door quietly.

"Good night..." her voice trailed.

Yuuki waited until Kaname's footsteps were no longer there. She sighed in relief. "Thank goodness," she said to herself as she clutched tight the pillow near her. "I can't possibly tell nii-sama that I still have those dreams. Aaah~"

"What am I suppose to say?" she asked. "Should I say to him, 'Nii-sama, the dreams I often had were always about Zero's last words! He asked if I'm all right after getting my memories back and I said no but... But I don't know what to do now! It kept haunting me! What should I do now.' No! Not like that! Kaname wouldn't forgive him. I told him that I'm fine too... But..."

"But what?" asked someone.

Yuuki half-screamed in surprise. She fidgeted and looked around for the source of the voice. "Who... Where... Who are you?" she asked, still clutching her pillow.

"Look behind you, Pureblood princess!" said the voice.

Yuuki turned around at the windowpane and to her big shock, it was a bat. "A bat? You're a bat?" she asked. Her eyes blinking in shock and rapidly.

The small creature nodded. "Of course I am a bat. What are you, 'human'? Hah! You're the same as I am, we're related. You are a vampire and I am a bat. We can become a pair."

Yuuki look of surprise returned to normal. "I know that, silly. You must have a master, right? Who is your master and why are you here? Do you have your family? Are you lost? Maybe you need help. Tell me, I can help you!" said Yuuki in delight as she quickly reached the area where the small bat was.

The bat flipped his wings to shoo Yuuki. "No no, you dimwit! I rather like here! Let me stay here!" said the bat.

"What?" asked Yuuki in denial. "No, you can't stay here! Go back to your master!" cried Yuuki as she tried to push the bat away. "Go or else, I'll shoo you out of here with force!"

"Try me!" said the bat, accepting the dare.

"You evil bat!" said Yuuki angrily as she lifted her hands to give the bat a nice slap. "Here goes!"

However, as she was about to slap the bat out from her room, the door opened quickly.

"Yuuki!" cried Kaname from the door. "Stop it! Don't use violence over bats! They're part of us!" He slowly strode over her and lifted her down from the windowpane.

"But... But Kaname nii-sama, this bat should go home! Back to its' master! Go home, you silly bat!" cried her angrily.

"Stop making a fuss over nothing, Pureblood princess!" said the bat as he flipped his wings and landed on Kaname's right hand. "This place... is my home."

There was a long silence before the events continued. Kaname left the bat back to its hanging place as he explained to Yuuki that the bat was part of him, part of his powers. He gave some of his powers to give life to the bat, thus he told Yuuki that she shouldn't slap the bat out from the place they were staying as the bat belonged and served him alone.

Yuuki stared at Kaname with uneasy feelings. "You made him your spy, don't you, nii-sama? You made him watch me! Can... Can you see what he saw? You pervert bat!" cried Yuuki as she flushed red.

Kaname chuckled. "What's the problem, Yuuki? We've been together, don't we? I've no need for spies or some sort."

"You heard! I was talking to myself and this bat asked me a question! Clearly he was planning to tell you!" accused her.

The laughter died and Kaname asked Yuuki. "Even if it's true, then? I asked you before what dreams you had yet you refused to tell me. I am concerned about you, Yuuki. If you want, I could erase the fears you had, that is, if you wish for it."

"I..." said Yuuki short. "I am afraid you will hate me."

"For what?" asked him in return.

"Because I could still remember Zero's words! He asked if I was still afraid after getting all my memories! I said 'no' but somehow, I don't know why I could still remember his words! I have nothing to fear! I have you, nii-sama!" cried Yuuki. "I don't know," she sobbed.

The bat flipped his wings once again and said, "Fear of something is always there, Pureblood princess. Every single person has it, including you vampires. It is natural for you to remember things like that. You are not living in peace forever!"

Yuuki stared at Kaname for confirmation. "The bat didn't say what you want to say, doesn't it?" asked her.

Kaname shook his head. "He speak his own mind, however, what he said was true. As I have told you before, through Mr. Aidou, it turned out that they saw I did something big and began to go against me. Only a few who supported me secretly gave me the clear situation within the vampires' society."

"What did you do?" asked Yuuki curiously.

"Something..."

"Tell me, Kaname. I told you my secret, now it's your turn."

"The Council."

"The one that Ichijou-senpai's grandfather's in? What about him?"

"Yuuki, the situation in the vampires' society is dangerous for you to know. It is hard for me to explain—"

"Hard to explain or refused to explain?" asked Yuuki with her straight face. "You are hiding it from me! Once again, you never tell me anything! I'm a vampire, I love you, you love me, just tell me what is wrong with the vampires race! Why are we hiding from the vampires? Why can't I see other vampires? Do they know I existed? Are you keeping me to yourself, Kaname? Please tell me, I beg you!"

Kaname held Yuuki tightly, refusing to let her go. "I'm sorry, Yuuki. I'm sorry for being unfair but this is—"

"This is what?" asked Yuuki after she pushed Kaname away. "Just tell me! I am ready to accept your dark, mysterious secrets! Just tell me!"

They did not talk until a while later. Kaname looked at the floor and as he slowly lifted his head, he told her. "The Council of Ancients, a few years ago, I've destroyed them. However, although all of them died only one survived and that person was Ichijou Asato, or often I liked to call him as Ichiou. Ichiou wasn't there when I destroyed the other Council members. He was with Ichijou and they were about to fight."

"I do not know the result of the fight but all I know, Ichiou is back and he was gathering new Council members. Even much worse, he decided that the monarch would restart once again but since I wasn't there to become their King of Vampires, they decided for someone else."

Yuuki gulped. "Who would become the King if you're the only male pureblood left?" asked Yuuki.

"Queen. Shirabuki Sara became their Queen of Vampires. It was a sad thing," said Kaname as he sighed. "Happy?"

"No. If she became Queen, then who is her King? There are no other Purebloods besides you!" cried Yuuki in denial. "They want you, right?"

Kaname shook his head. "Not so. They knew that I would have rejected the idea of reviving the monarchy. Plus, I've killed the Council so I am considered mad for now. They are probably after me, like they're after Shizuka. If they caught me, I would stay inside a cage. You would miss me, wouldn't you?"

Yuuki blushed and hugged Kaname tightly. "No! You can't go! If they caught you, they will have to take me as well! That's what I'm going to do. There's no more Purebloods, are they insane? If they call you mad, then... I am mad too!" cried Yuuki.

Kaname was surprised with Yuuki's deep loyalty to her and returned her hug. He touched her face and kissed her lightly. He gave a sweet smile and told her even if he was restrained within a cage, he could always escape from there. "I am powerful, I could do anything. For you, my beautiful love," said Kaname. "If I died, then I would hate myself... for I failed to fulfill the promise I made with Juri."

Yuuki touched Kaname's face and looked into his crimson red eyes. "You will keep that promise, Kaname. You will."

They shared a long kiss before continuing with their personal needs. The small bat closed its' wings and left the couple with their intimate activities. The moon was bright that night and the wind smelled of troubles ahead.

A/N: Hi there VK readers! How are you? Yes, I am sorry for neglecting my fanfiction, Truth mainly! I am very sorry but I see that no one really like to read stories that have original characters (OC), so I've decided that OC will stay within my territories. I will try my best to stay in story where the characters existed. This is my newest fanfiction, titled Ominous Hours. It happened a few years right after Chapter 46, with Yuuki starting her life as a vampire, learning the secrets of the vampires themselves and of course, her life with her beloved Kaname nii-sama.

Hope you enjoy! I expect positive reviews! Thanks for all the support.
