Momo: This is the sequel! I'm already regretting pissing one person off with my ending to Dark Hikari, so I made this as fast as I possibly could. Without further ado, I present Killing Loneliness (yes I know that's a HIM song I just couldn't think of anything else) Oh, and this starts off the morning after Takuma and Zero were possessed


I lay there and watched the sun come up. I had no desire to sleep, especially since I was in the same bed with that maniacal son of a bitch. I was so torn up about last night. I thought I saved them both, but I was a second too late and now they were paying the price. Crying was all I could do for quite a few hours, I hated it. Crying at a time like this is a sign of weakness, that I'm giving up all hope. Thinking about it though, maybe I can get through this, after all, Shiki made it through, but he tried to kill Rima, which had me worried.

It wasn't Rido that worried me as much, even if this was most likely his idea. It was Haku that scared me the most. The reasons why: He's in the body of the man I love dearly, he's one sadistic son of a bitch, and he's a perverted freak. I shuttered at the thought of him trapping me in the shower, kissing my neck. It's like he thought he had a right to do that since he was in my lover's body. He's wrong. Just because I'm angry and depressed about what he did to Takuma, doesn't mean I'd get desperate and ever let him do such a thing to me.

I heard him yawn behind me, obviously waking up. "Good morning beautiful." he greeted as he pulled me into his chest. "Leave me the fuck alone." I grumbled. He leaned over me so I could see his face. "That's not very nice." he whined. "Do I look like I care?" I asked coldly. He smirked and rolled on top of me, pinning my wrists up above my head. "You outta be." he whispered as he bent down and caught my lips with his before I could yell.

I struggled and tried to scream against him. No matter how much he pretended to be, he wasn't a damn thing like Takuma. Takuma's kisses were soft, sweet, and passionate. Haku's were rough, unpleasant, and forceful. He pulled away and grinned. "You're lips are soft, very alluring." he complimented evilly. I growled at him, exposing the extreme hate I held for this creature. He smirked and rubbed my neck. "I'm a bit thirsty." he mumbled as he leaned towards my neck. "No!" I cried as I tried to get away from him. He covered my mouth with his free hand and kept leaning in until I felt his fang graze my neck.

Before he bit, the door flung open and he was thrown up against the wall. I exhaled my held breath and looked up to see Seiren holding up Takuma/Haku by his neck. "Seiren?" I asked, a bit confused. "Kaname-sama told me to make sure you would stay safe." she answered. I nodded and mumbled my appreciation. She glared into Haku's eyes, knowing she couldn't be lenient just because he was in Takuma's body. "Listen well. If you come close to harming Hikari-sama again, I will not be as kind as I am now, and I will take her out of the room." Seiren threatened.

"Put me down woman." Haku growled. Seiren literally dropped him to the ground, none too gently either. "That's alright, I was about to leave anyways." I mumbled as I walked towards the door with Seiren. "Aren't you supposed to stay?" Haku asked with an angry look on his face. "I was never instructed to stay with you the whole day, I was just instructed to sleep in the same bed." I growled as I slammed the door. I sighed and leaned against the wall. "Thank you." I breathed. "Kaname-sama wishes for your safety." she reminded me. I looked up and smiled half-heartedly. "That's good..." I mumbled.

I pushed myself off of the wall and walked into the foyer, where the entire night class was. They all stared at me with sad expressions on their faces as I came in. Ignoring their stares, I just walked to the couch and sat down by myself. "Hikari..." Hanabusa mumbled as he sat next to me. I looked up at him. His face carried the saddest look I've ever seen I threw on a quick, small, fake smile to cheer him up. "Hey Hanabusa." I said. "Are you okay?" Shiki asked. I looked at him with the same fake look I gave Hanabusa. "Yeah, I'm managing alright." I lied.

"Don't lie Hikari, we can tell you're suffering." Kain scolded. I looked at him in surprise, I never expected him to notice that quickly. "I'm fine." I lied yet again. It's already bad enough they've known Takuma longer and he's been taken away from them, I don't need to burden them with my emotions. "Please don't lie to us. We're sad too." Hanabusa pouted as he hugged me. That did it right there, I burst into tears yet again and hugged him back. "Damn it!" I exclaimed, frustrated with myself for crying AGAIN. "It's alright." Shiki assured. I stood up and stared at the floor. "No it isn't. All I've done since last night is cry. No wonder their bodies got taken over. I'm so fucking weak." I muttered.

After my comment, I felt a hand collide with my face, turning it to the side. I turned it back and saw Shiki's hand in the air, claiming him as the one who struck me. "Don't EVER say that abaout youself again. Just because you couldn't stop two pure blood vampires that almost killed you in the first place doesn't mean you're weak. Plus, so what if you're crying? You're best friend and fiance's bodies are being used to do those bastards' deeds. We all EXPECT you to cry." he scolded. Everyone, including me stared at him wide-eyed, not expecting the rant.

"Sorry." I mumbled. Shiki then hugged me. "Don't apologize for what's happening." he muttered. I hugged him back, tears still flowing out of my eyes. "I don't see why Rido makes you stay in the same room as Haku, it doesn't make sense." Kain thought out loud. "Here's your answer, he's a sadistic asshole that's trying to make everyone's lives miserable, and he's doing a damn good job of it." I growled. "We've heard. All he does is try to act like Ichijou, at least if Ichijou were a perverted bastard." Hanabusa said. I sighed and nodded. "We're taking turns keeping watch in front of your room." Rima mumbled.

"You guys don't have to do that for me." I assured. "Are you kidding?" Shiki asked. "He may try to do things to you that we, you, and Ichijou don't agree with." Kain reminded me. I groaned in exhaustion and sat back down. "This fucking sucks." I grumbled. "We know, but look at it this way. Shiki got his body taken over, and he's standing right here. As soon as they give up Kiryuu and Ichijou's body, they're deader than the stiffs at the graveyard." Hanabusa pointed out. He had a point. All I had to do was wait for the right time for those bastards to get their bodies back. But how long would that be? Days? Weeks? God I hope it's not months.

"Classes are canceled tonight on account of those two." Rima announced. "Lovely..." I muttered sarcastically. "Yes it is. No classes or teachers, I can just relax." a voice called from the staircase. We turned and saw Haku walking down the stairs. We all glared at him, wanting to kill him so bad neither of us could see straight. "I see I'm not a very popular person around here." he stated innocently. "Don't you have somewhere else to be?" Kain asked with a glare. "Oh, I was thinking about spending the day with this beautiful woman over here." he answered as he leaned over the couch and played with my hair.

Shiki grabbed his wrist. "Leave my sister alone." he growled. Haku smirked, making me look away, not wanting to see such an evil look on Takuma's face. "Sorry, but you're not in charge." he muttered with malice dripping heavily in his voice. "Leave him alone." I ordered venomously. He smirked at me. "Make me." he said, getting close to my face. I growled at him, wanting to punch him so bad. "You pathetic son of a bitch." Shiki stated coldly. Haku growled and turned around while raising his fist. I gasped and jumped in front of Shiki, taking the hit for him.

"Hikari!" he shouted as I fell to the floor. That punch was hard enough to blacken my senses, in fact, I probably wasn't going to wake up for a while.
