Have hope

Chapter 1 : Past and present

Elli was with Yuuki trying to control herself. As much as she wanted to be by Takuma's side, she can't. He was with Sara and she knew he won't talk to her ever again. Yuuki was resting right now trying to regain her strength. Even if Elli was a pureblood she couldn't help yuuki that much. She knew she could but Yuuki won't let her. But Elli wouldn't take no for an answer so she let's Yuuki drink her blood, at first Yuuki was against it but then gave in.

"Yuuki you ok?" Elli asked stroking her hair. Yuuki was still silent meaning she was still asleep. Elli heard someone knock on the door.

"Enter" Elli said. The door opened and reviled Rima, she came in and sat down next to Elli. Elli, Rima and Yuuki became closer as time passed.

"Have you seen Shiki?" Rima asked. Elli knew she was worried about him.

"No. How is everyone?" Elli asked

"Their fine, thanks to Yuuki-sama, but Shiki ate one whole set of blood tablets I'm scared for him" Rima said looking down. Elli gripped Rima's hand and gave her a hug.

"Here let him drink this but if he doesn't want it, keep it safe and if you get to talk to Ichigo please give this to him instead" Elli handed Rima two small bottles.

"What's in it Elli?" Rima asked. Elli told Rima not to call her 'Elli-sama' since she didn't really like her best-friends to call her like she was higher then them.

"My blood"Elli said with a straight face. It shocked Rima because she knows Elli isn't suppose to let any one drink her blood not even Yuuki wanted to but Elli wouldn't take no for an answer.

"But Elli-"

"Rima I know but this is the only way I can help at least a little" Elli replied while looking at Yuuki.

"I understand Elli. Excuse me I have to-" Rima said while standing up.

"Keep it safe Rima" Elli said before Rima closed the door.

Yuuki started to move which alarmed Elli and made her look at Yuuki. She shook Yuuki a little trying to wake her up. Yuuki woke up immediately Elli gave her a smile which Yuuki returned.

Yuuki sat up slowly and looked at the window, she noticed it was already sun set.

"How are you feeling?"

"Still a bit hungry and tired" Yuuki answered honestly. Elli sighed and sat in the bed offering her risk to Yuuki.

"No it's fine, don't worry about me Elli" Yuuki said closing her eyes for a while.

"Do you still have blood tablets?"

"Ya, but not much people are buying" Elli said and handed Yuuki a small box of blood tablets. Yuuki opened it and swallowed a couple. She didn't really like the taste but she can't keep drinking from Elli.

"Anything eventful happened while I was asleep?"Yuuki asked as she stood up and went to change into her school uniform.

"Rima came and asked about Shiki she told me he ate a whole bag of blood tablets so I gave her two bottles of my blood" Elli said. Yuuki was shock and mad at her.

"Elli I thought I told you not to give any one blood!"

"I know but it was for Shiki and Ichigo's sake so I had no choice" Elli said. She loves Takuma but she knows they can never be together because Sara also loves Takuma.

Before all the chaos happened Takuma and Elli were still together. They were some what like a couple. They were always spending time together and always having fun. Elli was happy when Yuuki became a vampire because they wouldn't have a problem of spending time together. Sometimes Elli and Takuma fought but they always made up in the end. When Elli and Takuma were separated it was very hard for her. She was lucky Yuuki and Rima was there. Even when Kaname left to kill the purebloods it was hard for Yuuki but Elli and Rima didn't leave her alone. The three of them stuck together no matter what happened. When Sara came to Cross academy with Takuma it shocked everyone especially Elli. She wouldn't go to class until Yuuki and Rima forced her. It took Elli a long time to get over him but until now she won't give up on him. He was her first love, childhood friend and most importantly her best friend. Even before she met Yuuki and the others she already knew Takuma and he was always there for her no matter what happened, even when he was tired or busy he still went over and visited Elli. Takuma was the only family she had left and now he was gone as well. Her parents died when she was young and was taken in buy her auntie who was good friends with Takuma's parents before they died. When Elli went to cross academy she met new people and they were like family to her. But not that family was now broken. Takuma was with Sara, Kaname was killing purebloods while Kain and Ruka were with him also Seirin. The only once left were Rima Yuuki and Aidou, Shiki might already be on Sara's side. It broke Elli's heart knowing what happened to her family. If Elli could change everything she would, just to have everyone back again.

Everyone was in class again Yuuki and the gang was sitting at the back of the class. Elli was looking through the pictures she placed in her notebook every time she sees them it beings back memories. It always brought a smile to her face.

"Elli you ok?" Rima asked

"Ya, why is Shiki with Sara?" Elli asked. She knew Rima was worried about Shiki.

"I don't know I wasn't able to give them the bottle yet" Rima said looking at the pouch in her hands.

"Just keep it" Elli said, she gave Rima a smile before leaving the room. One of Elli's abilities is she can leave with out being sensed. Yuuki on the other hand could because Elli gave her blood so she can tell if she left or not. Yuuki knew why Elli left the room. It was because Sara was flirting with Takuma and it was hurting Elli because he was responding to Sara, it was like he wasn't himself anymore. Elli somehow felt like Sara was controlling half of his brain. Elli can feel what he feels because Takuma let Elli drink his blood countless times already. Elli knew if Takuma drank her blood he will be back to normal again. Once Elli was out she made her way towards the tree she and Takuma hang out. She reached into the whole near the ground and pulled out a wooden box. In the box contained photos drawing letters and a lot of other things that was special to Elli and Takuma. Most of them were the two of them. They would open the box every now and then and look back at those happy times. Tears fell down from Elli's eyes making her vision blurry.

"Takuma" Elli said trying to hold back her tears. She kept the box again and left. She head towards the moon dorm as quickly as she could. But she wasn't fast enough and was caught by Zero.

"What are you doing here vampire?" Zero asked and grabbed her hand.

"Let go please Zero I don't feel well please" Elli said trying not to make eye contact. Elli and Yuuki were the only two vampires Zero would talk to when alone.

"What happened?" Zero asked and let go of Elli's hand. She quickly wiped her tears away and looked at Zero.

"Sara happened now I don't have Takuma anymore and my family is now broken again" Elli said forcing her tears not to fall.

"Go back to the dorm and rest Elli you need it" Zero said and gave Elli a quick hug before leaving. Elli ran back to the dorm and went straight to her room. Zero was still patrolling and caught Yuuki talking to someone. They were talking about killing Sara but Zero stopped them.

"You are not killing Sara, vampire" Zero said in a harsh way.

"Zero..." Yuuki said. The person Yuuki was talking to was the servant of the pureblood Sara killed.

"Your helping that girl?!" the servant said. Zero got really annoyed and hit the girl on the back of her neck. Maria came put and went to Yuuki.

"Take her to Kaito" Zero said. Maria gave him a nod and looked at Yuuki.

"I'll be all right don't worry about me" Maria said and gave Yuuki a hug which she returned. Maria placed the girl at her back, but she was to small to carry her, and then left. Once Maria was gone Yuuki looked at Zero.

"I'm sorry for making a mess" Yuuki said with a poker face on.

"Once everything is over I'll deal with Kaname myself" She continued. Zero grabbed both of her arms and pinned her against the wall.

"Yuuki everything about Kuran is nothing but pure evil" Zero said. Yuuki could see hurt in Zero's eyes but she knew he was trying to hide it.

"Because of him I lost everything...my parents...and Ichiru... Every cell in his body is pure evil it's all contaminated!" Zero kinda yelled at Yuuki but tried not to. Before Yuuki was able to reply a familiar presents suddenly appeared. Yuuki and Zero looked towards the left and couldn't believe who they saw. Yuuki was almost speechless and Zero almost pulled out his gun.

Elli was now in her room. She was laying down on her bed and looking through letters she wrote to Takuma but never sent it. She wrote it during the time he was missing and until now where he was with Sara. Every time she wrote a letter it always ended with an 'I love you'. She pulled out a pad of stationary and started writing. Her letters weren't really that long because she didn't want to be redundant. The letter she wrote now read:

'Dear Takuma,

How are you today? I hope you feeling better then before. I hope that Sara is treating you well and better then did when we were together. I'll support you all the way even if you choose marry her, I'll still support you. I know its useless to tell you this but I still love you.

Love, Elli'

She folded the letter and kissed it before putting it in the envelop then sealing it with another kiss. She opened her drawer and placed the letter in with the others. Elli wrote to much letters already that she had to find another place to keep them. She always wrote the date so she could keep track and make sure she doesn't repeat it. She pulled out a jewelry box from the other drawer and opened it. She pulled out a necklace Takuma gave her for her 16 birthday. It was a long silver chain and had a blood red center piece surrounded by green gems. The gem in the middle was Takuma's blood. She couldn't believe it at first but then she accepted it. She was shocked that Takuma used his blood just to give her a necklace. She didn't really ask for gifts on her birthday but Takuma always gave her even if she told him to stop. Elli looked at the calendar in her room and noticed it was almost her birthday.

"This will be the worst birthday ever" Elli said. She grabbed her pillow and took out a dagger underneath it. The dagger she has is identical to one that Takuma has. They made it on the same day and Takuma's had a small red gem which was Elli's blood. She took her dagger and pointed it to her risk. Slowly she lowered the dagger and droplets of blood dripped. She pulled the dagger away immediately and sucked her blood. Elli has been doing this to herself for a while now. Yuuki caught her one time but she still didn't stop. She doesn't know the reason she does this to herself since she was a kid. Every time Elli was depress she would always hurt herself, she didn't want people to notice so she just made it small but the last time she remembered doing it was when Takuma didn't visit her for a week when she was still a kid. Now Elli does it almost every day. Elli was about to do it again but was stop when she felt a familiar aura return. She drop the dagger and tried looking out the window for him. She was about to open her door when Rima appeared.

"Elli is that-"Rima asked with a shock expression

"Yes" Elli cut her off. Rima saw the dagger and looked at Elli she knew what she was doing and always tried to stop her. Rima took the dagger and kept it in Elli's drawer. She then approached Elli and held her hand.

"I ate one bag of blood tablets Ichigo-san" Shiki said when Takuma opened the door.

"Shiki what-"

"I thought it would be easier to be on your side Ichigo-san" He said before entering leaving a shocked Ichigo. Shiki could tell that Ichigo drank Sara's blood because when he opened the door he was able to smell blood. When Shiki stepped in Sara had a smirk on her face.

"Sara-sama I wish to serve you" He said bowing in front of her. Sara smirked and offered her hand to him. He accepted it and kissed it before standing up. Takuma who left suddenly came back.

"Sara-sama he's back!" Takuma said panting. Sara was shocked because she knew who it was immediately.
