Hi everyone. This is...the first one of the VK one shots I want to write. This is ZeroXLara (Lara being my OC, the only thing I actually own xD). This takes place at the ball, but it's a part of a larger story where Lara fights Shizuka, Shizuka bites her and she becomes what she truly is, a pureblood (just like in Yuki's case, her powers had been sealed, but from completely other reasons).

~~Don't give up...~~

There had been almost three months now.

Three months since she turned, and three months since they hadn't talked to each other.
Even though they were both prefects, both present there to keep the fangirls away, they wouldn't even look at each other, not even in class.

"Lara...you have to get out of your room!" Kaien said knocking on the door for the third time that day.

"Why should I?" came the muffled response.
"Because..." the Headmaster started, trying to think of something. "Tonight is the ball!" he suddenly .

"So?" the girl responded again, on the same bored, annoyed tone as she always did.

"Get out of that room. Now." another voice said, at which even Kaien jumped.

A loud sigh was heard, and the door slowly, revealing a girl with long black hair and blue eyes, looking up at the two vampire hunters.

"No." she said, then wanted to close the door again.
"You are going go to to the ball right?" Kaien asked.
"Yeah right..." she scoffed with a roll of her eyes.

"You bet you are. Kaien?" Yagari said looking at the excited man which thankfully had no apron on.
"What the..." the girl said when her wrist was grabbed and when she found herself being dragged away from her room by the Headmaster.

"Tara? What are you doing here?" she asked when she saw her sister in the Headmaster's livingroom, looking at her with a slight grin.

"I'm not letting you stay in your room. Come." and with that, the girl found herself being dragged away once again.

She sighed quietly as she stood at the entrance of the ballroom. Wearing a simple black dress, her long, straight hair flowing down her shoulders, and the white Disciplinary committee sign on her arm, she took a deep breath and walked in.

She rolled her eyes when the vampires that were in the room bowed, and just leaned against a wall, watching the others.

A smile tugged at the corners of her lips when she saw her sister and Kaname outside, dancing. Even though she hated Kuran, he made Tara happy, and that was all that mattered to her.

"All alone I see...why are you running away from me?" the silver haired vampire hunter said, leaning next to her on the wall.

"You should know...better than anyone. " she replied, gazing in the opposite direction.
"All I know is that we were avoiding each other for the past three months. And I don't like that." he replied.

"Why would you want to be around...someone like me..." she asked, now looking more towards the ground.

"Let's go outside..." he answered grabbing her hand and making her follow him.

"Why...did you wanted to come here?" she asked looking around.
It was beautiful indeed, the moonlight reflecting in the water of the fountain, the roses surrounding them...

"Because I wanted to talk to you. " he replied.
"About what?" she asked quietly.
"About everything...about that night..." he sighed.

"No. you know very well what .ed..." she sighed.
"Nothing .ed. You're still the same person." he stated.

"I'm..." she started, only to be cut off by his lips pressing against hers.

"You're still the same person...the same person I love..." he said after he pulled back, wrapping his arms around the wide eyed pureblood.

"So don't give up on me..." he added.
"How...could you think I would give up on you?" she smiled, tears beginning to well up in her blue eyes.

They spent the rest of the time they should have been at the ball there, surrounded by roses and moonlight, dancing to an unknown song that was in both their hearts...
