Akatsuki Kain was getting used to having things happen to him, just because he happened to be there at that time. He had thought it annoying at first, but he got used to it. Often the case, it was due to something that his cousin Hanabusa Aido had done.

Like the time that Aido had bit Yuki Cross when he wasn't looking. The gang leader gave him a week of suspension just for not stopping his cousin. Then, when he tried to stop a fight that was rapidly brewing between Ruka Souen and Zero Kiryu, he got knocked away for trying to stop them.

How could he not get used to getting into trouble when those sorts of things were happening all the time? Really, it was impossible not to.

He sighed and looked at the increasingly dark sky. The blanket of stars with the moon's shining light upon all that it glimpsed made him have a slight smile as he imagined how it would feel to be able to travel that great place in the sky.

Lost in his thoughts, Kain didn't realize what was happening around him until he heard a scream. He abruptly looked over to his cousin to find that he was about to put his fangs into a girl's neck.

"Aido!" he yelled and quickly went to his cousin. He pulled him away from the girl and glared at him. "Haven't you learned that you're not supposed to be doing that?" he scolded glaring mildly at him. He could see that his cousin was about to protest when the nearly bitten girl spoke up.

"Excuse me," she interrupted softly. Her eyes were twinkling in amusement as she smiled, a fang peeking out. "Please don't blame him for trying to bite me. I'm sure that he had a just reason for trying to do so."

Both Kain and Aido looked at her with a surprised face before Kain shrugged. "He should have known better," he told her grabbing his cousin's arm to take him inside.

He could feel her eyes watching him go and he restrained himself from shivering at the feel of it. Feeling self-conscious, he walked away straighter and pondered over who the girl was. She was a vampire, but he hadn't been able to tell until she had spoken to him. Perhaps he would find out more about her soon….
