A/N: Okay so how this came about was that i had a dream about it. Weird right? But it was as if it were a video game (Hah!) so i wanted to add more to it to really make a good story! Hopefully i've succeed!
But also just so you know, I wrote this if Yuuki was still human. I set it in the "in-between" section of right before Yuuki started searching. (like when she went to the hunter association to look through the documents). I debated on it hard and it just seemed to fit that she was human in this. But please enjoy!
Chapter 1"Together"
"Why can't I go?" Yuuki screamed slamming her fist into the table. "Because it's too dangerous for you to go!" Zero said with a raised voice taking her hands in his, "Leave this for us, please Yuuki."
"Kiryu is right, Yuuki," Kaname stepped to her side, gently wiping the tears from her eyes "We'll find Wakaba-san." Yuuki stepped back, tearing her hands from Zero, her maroon eyes darting to Kaname. "I'm not a little kid anymore! And she's my best friend, why can't I do something for a change?" before she could let the two vampires answer, she turned and ran out of the Headmaster's office. She didn't want to hear what those two had to say.
It had been almost a week since her friend Yori was taken. Yuuki had felt it was her fault, she was just down the hall when it had happened. She could still hear Yori screaming, she could still see her scared face as she reached for her friend. She had been so close to getting to her.
Yuuki shook her head, she didn't want to think about what could be happening. And she had already made up her mind. She didn't care what her two vampire friends said, she was going to go find Yori with or with out them. Her feet were already leading her back to the room she shared with Yori, she had to pack and make sure she had everything.
The bag was small; she didn't need a whole lot, just a spare change of clothes, some first aid and some food and water she had luckily stashed in her closet. She flung the bag onto her back and stared at the small metal rod sitting in front of her. She had never really needed to use this before, maybe one or twice but only to bluff. Zero was the one who really used it that one time they were in town. The time he saved her from the level E. she gripped her elbow and guilt slowly stared flowing into her heart. Is this selfish of me? What would Zero and Kaname do if she got hurt? She wasn't a strong vampire or a hunter like them. She sighed and pushed it out of her head, she had to do this. She owed it to Yori.
As she stepped out from the Day class dorm she couldn't help but wonder why Zero or Kaname hadn't followed her or tried to find her yet. Usually when she was upset Zero was the first one to run to her, but she guessed maybe this time was different. She couldn't depend on them forever and now was the time to break away. She tugged on her white Guardian arm band and took off running towards the gates.
Aido had only been gone for a short time seeing how the sun had only just set not but an hour ago. He had no idea where to start looking for the human girl. He wasn't sure why he was looking on his own; Kaname hadn't even given the order to search yet. He had only seen her a few times, most were accidents. But the way she looked at him sent chills up his spine and made his face hot. She was so different from all the other girls in the Day Class. She was the only one who didn't go running up screaming at change over. When he had asked her why she said she "had better things to do" in such a blasé kind of way. He still loved Kaname but this girl made him feel happy in ways he couldn't even imagine, ways that he knew his beloved pureblood could never fulfill.
"Aido-sempi?" he recognized that voice. He turned and saw the auburn haired girl staring at him. He was somewhat in shock himself to see her standing there with out her ex-human "body guard" standing next to her.
"Where's Kiryu?" But he already knew what her answer was. The slight blush on her face told everything. She fiddled with the cuffs on her school uniform sleeves and looked down at the ground, "You ran away didn't you?"
Her face turned a brighter red. She knew she shouldn't have come over to him, but she was curious what the usual pompous aristocrat vampire was doing standing in the middle of the cobble stone streets, staring off into the distance. She looked up through her bangs, "Please don't go tell them," she reached out, grabbing Aido's arms, "They want me to stay behind and do nothing! How can they say that! She's my… my…" she couldn't even finish her sentence with out tears threatening to fall from her eyes.
The vampire stood there, not sure what to do. Should he pat her head? Hug her? No, hugging was out of the question, what if Kaname or Zero managed to come around the corner and see? But, Yuuki was sobbing right in front of him. He may find her annoying from time to time but he hated seeing girls cry. Especially this girl. He wasn't sure why but he did feel closer to this girl. There were a few times when he and Yori had met in town Yuuki came along to make sure her friend was safe. When Zero didn't come along, the three of them often hung out together. He found now that this girl in front of him wasn't as bad as he had imagined, but he wasn't going to ever say that out loud.
Yuuki's sobs were slowly starting to stop, she looked up as she wiped her eyes "what are you doing here anyways?" she sniffled and released Aido's arms. "I'm… looking for Sayori-chan also," his face turned a slight shade of pink. He never felt comfortable calling her just "Yori," he didn't feel close enough to her yet.
Yuuki's eyes widened. He was looking for her too? He must really like her…a faint smile tugged at her lips, she liked the idea of her best friend finding someone. Even if it was a vampire. But she knew Aido was capable of watching over her when she couldn't.
"We should look for her together," Yuuki looked at Aido sternly. She knew she couldn't do this alone.
Aido stood still, his mouth slightly ajar. Together? He and Yuuki? He would have never thought the he would hear those words leave the girls mouth. But he knew how much Yori meant to the girl in front of him. He looked down at Yuuki's outstretched hand. His eyes shined as he took her hand in his and shook it hard, "Together."

"What?" Kaname roared looking back at Seiren.
"Aido were seen boarding a train a few hours ago." She said blankly, her expression unchanging.
Zero stood close behind, his own face revealing the same shock and hurt the pureblood was feeling. It was his turn to chase after her. He though of the night he tried running and the way she threw her arms around him and made him feel safe. He could still see the intense look she gave him and he could still feel her forehead buried against his back.
"We have to find them," Zero said stepping away from the wall. Kaname looked at him with hurt eyes. How could she run away? He knew Aido would keep her safe but she was being so damn reckless.
The pureblood turned towards Seiren once more, "Go see what train they boarded and make sure to stop it at the closest stop. If they disagree, we'll stop it ourselves." He watched her give a small bow and quickly walk out the door.
"We'll find them Kaname-kun," The Headmaster said standing up. He himself was worried about his daughter, but like Kaname, he knew Aido would let no harm get to her. But seriously, Yuuki was so naïve at time. What was she thinking going off like that? She was always scared going into town alone when she was younger. But she wasn't alone, and she was a big girl now. She could do what she wanted, regardless of what he thought.
He took his glasses off and sighed as he watched his "Son" and Kaname argue. Both of them had different approaches of how to handle the situation. Zero was always the one to just charge in, guns blazing. But Kaname was tactical; he wanted to think things through so there was no room for error. But right now, he was considering Zero's idea. He knew this was no game though. He had no idea why a vampire would take Yori seeing how she was in his territory. But she wasn't a vampire, she was a human, and the daughter of an important official. And also, why had Aido gone? Had Yuuki asked him to? The pureblood knew that the blonde aristocrat had been spending a lot of time with Yuuki and her friend. Yuuki never mentioned why and every time he asked Aido, he never gave a straight answer. He thought about asking Zero but he knew all the hunter would say that it was none of the pureblood's business.
"What are we doing standing here?" Zero said tucking his Bloody Rose gun safely inside its holster.
"Are you going on foot, Zero?" The Headmaster said reaching out slightly.
"Well, yeah?" the hunter gave a confused look. As if he had any other way to get to town.
"We'll get there faster by car," Kaname said pulling out his phone, "I'll call my driver to take us"
Zero stood rooted to the spot, "You expect us to go—"
"Together, yes" Kaname interrupted once he hung up his phone, "We'll find Yuuki Together Zero." Zero's glare softened slightly, he didn't like the idea but he gave a simple nod, "Togeteher."
