Rido Kuran looked at the young boy in front of him. Well that was a little unfair. He was a boy by no means. He was Toga Yagari the number one vampire hunter in the world. What really amused Rido was that Toga thought he could stop Rido from taking his niece away from her brother. It was naïve and endearing- if Rido could even feel that way. But he supposed he could because everything the young hunter did not only interested him but…awakened his thirst. Rido was thirsty for Toga's blood after all there would be a lot of power in it. If he could get to it. Rido shook his head slightly under the hateful gaze being thrown at him. He was a pureblood and he could take anything he wanted. And he wanted to take Toga. Rido's brow furrowed… he was attracted to the hunter in that way as well…yes he was. The man was quite handsome even for only having a single eye.

Meanwhile Toga had kept his gaze on the monster in front of him. Even if he couldn't kill Kuran he would still slow him down with a bullet if possible. Toga saw in his peripheral that the students of Cross Academy were able to make a getaway from the distracted pureblood. Toga couldn't help but think if they had a chance to get away that was well worth his life. Toga looked back at the vampire in front of him. That gaze…it made his skin crawl. But unsure why Toga was unable to pull the trigger of his long rifle. It was as if both men were waiting for the other to speak.

Rido narrowed his eyes- he had him right where he wanted him. Toga was breaking a sweat because the children had just passed the large gates. They were almost safe but they needed more distance if they were going to even have a chance. Rido walked towards Toga making him level the rifle at the vampires head. Rido let out a chuckle. Although he could take what he wanted Rido was in the mood for a game.

He cleared his throat and said, "Do you feel like making a deal Toga?" Toga shivered as he heard the vampire say his name. He made it sound like a blasphemy. He didn't say anything though he just darted his eye toward the children and out of nowhere tens of level Es swarmed the children making them scream. Toga started but realized he couldn't get to them in time. He glowered furiously at the pureblood in front of him.

"Let them go!" he shouted. Rido liked the hunters voice; it was deeper than his own and sexy too. Instead of relenting to the demand however Rido only shook his head.

"Not until we come to an agreement…"

Toga lowered his gun slightly, "What do you want?" Rido wandered over to him seemingly unaffected by the screams of the children. Rido grabbed the gun and yanked it away from Toga. 'I shoulda shot you when I first saw you,' Toga thought.

But Rido snapped him from his lament when he said, "I want your blood and your body."

Toga backed away a step turning pale, "What?" Rido licked his lips and spread out his hands.

"Let me drink your blood and take you and I'll let the children go…"

Toga felt sick to his stomach. He was in a lose- lose situation. If he lived he would become a level E if he didn't live the students he had grown to care for would die. Toga was helpless to stop a potential massacre and he most likely couldn't save himself. The latest scream pushed him to the edge of his sanity and he looked at Rido with tears of fear in his eye.

"First you promise me that you won't use any of your mind tricks on me," he said. And as if trying to convey his trustworthiness Rido sent out an energy wave that knocked out the entire group of mad vampires but left the children unharmed. Toga let out a sigh of relief when they started fleeing but jumped when he felt the back of Rido's long fingers on his face.

"Do we have a deal?" he asked smoothly.

Toga looked deep into the mismatched eyes of the man who would seal his fate. To say he wasn't petrified would be a blatant lie. He swallowed thickly and started trembling when Rido traced his fingertips down to Toga's Adams apple. But even through all the fear he still managed to choke out a clear and definite, "Yes."
