Capítulo 11: Eleven
A month goes by and now its October. Things have cooled down some, after the engagement ball, Zero hasn't seen or heard from Yuki at all. He never let on. How he was really feeling that night with Elena. She doesn't know. That Zero was thinking of Yuki every time, he made love to her that night. Trying to get it out of his system. Working through his own feelings. She stayed in the dark. Zero treats her very well though. Not trying to hurt her. Trying to move on and make a life for himself without Yuki in it. He still can't help thinking about her and what it would have been like. If he never left her leave Cross. He regrets not stopping her and the words he said to her. Knowing he can't take either back. Trying not to do the same thing with Elena. He has come to have strong feelings for her. Still not as strong as the ones for Yuki. He knows they will always be there. He just now tries to hide them from her.
One day while working Yagari comes into his office.
"Well, did you hear?" Yagari asks.
"Hear what?" Zero remarks.
"About the wedding of the century, that took place on Saturday?" Yagari answers.
"No. I Have no time for weddings." Zero states.
"Well, Yuki and Kaname are now hitched."Yagari states.
"Well good for them. She wanted the bastard. Now she has him." Zero replies.
Trying not to even show Yagari how he truly feels.
"Yep. Happy together. Just thought I would let you know."Yagari announces as he walks out the door.
Zero grabs everything on his desk and throws it to the floor.
"Son Of a Bitch!" Zero shouts.
"Mother fucker." Zero shouts louder as the papers and books hit the floor. Pure anger raging through him.
"Fuck them both!" He snaps.
Slamming the door of his office and walking down the hall to the vending machine. Grabbing a cup of coffee, to try to calm his nerves. His pale face now flushed with red. You can see the steam coming out of his head from his anger. He takes a seat in the lobby drinking the coffee and trying to cool down. Getting back up with rage still in his blood, giving the vending machine a large kick. A nearby hunter just staring.
"What did the machine do to you?" He laughs.
"Everything! The fucker did everything!" Zero replies. Walking back to his office.
Yagari sitting in his own office.
"I Think Zero took that better than I expected," Yagari says sarcastically.
"I figured the break room would have caught fire or a person's head would of went through a wall," Yagari adds.
"I thought his desk would of went out of the window. "Kaien remarks.
"At least now, he knows it's over. Maybe he can move on. Its the only reason I told him." Yagari replies.
"I hope so. It's really a sin for Elena." Kaien states.
Zero goes back to his office grabbing his jacket. He heads to Cross to sit under his tree. Needing time to think. To process what happened.
"She gave herself to him. How could she?" Zero says to himself.
Hurt in his heart. Zero knows he needs to pull himself together before its time to go home. He can't let Elena see him like this. It would kill her to know. How he truly feels. He needs to show no emotion. What he is known best for. Just this time he doesn't know if, he could do it. The pain he feels is overwhelming. It feels as if his heart is broken into many pieces.
Zero spends the rest of the afternoon under the tree. Thinking about everything. How Yuki just gave up and went with Kaname. How she is supposed to love him, yet married another man. He knew now more than ever. He needed to move on. Needed to be the man that Elena needed. She stood by him through all of this. Never complaining. Just taking the shit as it flew. Just because she cared so much for him. Zero knew he wanted his own family. He had none of his real one left. It was time to move on and rebuild. He knew he could do that with Elena.
One the way home Zero stops at a Jewelry store, picking out a pretty good size engagement ring. Feeling it was time for this to happen. To show Elena how grateful he was for her being here with him. It was the least he could do. For all the damage and hurt he has put her through.
Once home Elena is in the kitchen like always getting dinner together. Zero walks up behind her. Putting his arms around her and holding her close to him.
"Hey. How was your day?" Elena asks. Putting her head on his shoulder as she stirs the pot of rice on the stove.
"It was ok. How was yours?" Zero asks.
"Pretty good. I think. I am really getting through to the students. I just love being a teacher." Elena replies.
"Good. I am glad to see you happy. You really do deserve it. You are such a good woman." Zero states.
Elena looking up at him, still in his arms. Her back on his firm chest.
"I love you Zero." She responds.
"I know you do. That's why I want to ask you something." Zero says.
Turning Elena around to face him, Getting on one knee and pulling out the ring.
"Will you marry me?" Zero asks.
Elena gasps at the site of the ring, putting both hands up to her mouth. Tears streaming down her face.
"YES! Oh My God! YES!" She screams.
Jumping into his arms. Kissing him everywhere. From his forehead down his nose to his mouth. The happiness just radiating from her. Zero just holds her knowing if nothing else. He had someone good by his side. She would never hurt him as Yuki has. Never run off with someone else. She wasn't the type. She really was a good woman. He knew in a way too good for him. She deserved someone better. Someone who really loved her and only her. He just wasn't able to give her that.
Elena wanted to get married and fast Wasting no time. Not wanting anything big. Something simple and special. They get married under the tree, That they first made love under. Yagari saying the vows. Making it even more special. Elena never knowing the real reason of why this is even taking place. That the one he really wanted to marry, married someone else. Elena never knowing what also happened that day in Zero's office. Zero kept a lot of his own secrets from her. Yagari never telling what he witnessed. Hoping deep down that Zero would let go of the past and move on. To be happy with a woman that truly cared for and loved him. It was Yagari's only wish.
