Darn, I'm sorry for those that have already read part 2 but this is part 1...I hate uploading.

Disclaimer: No, I do not own Bloody Kiss.


Yawning widely, the sleepily disgruntled vampire walked into the kitchen. Eyes heavy lidded and slumped shoulders he searched for the usually busy girl standing at the stove, the objects in her hands, more commonly than not, admitting some burning smell. However, she wasn't in place and the odor could not be located within the room. Confusion written across his features, he turned to the silver haired man sitting at the table.

"Where's Kiyo?" He asked, slightly astounded by her absence.

"She never came down." He told the incredulous redhead, sipping his tea with nonchalance, eyes not moving from their position on the black and white print.

"What? Why?" His voice began to take on a little panic with this information, becoming worried by this break in routine. Watching the servant with quickly waking eyes, he caught the short shrug of Alshu's shoulders, questioning the indifferent attitude of this answer he began to step away from the man, only turning around when it became obvious this was the only answer he'd get.

As he ran up the stairs, the servant's eyes finally turned to their master, revealing a very uncommon look of anxiety and worry for the soon to be altered household lovers.

...

Arriving at the heavily scented room, Kuroboshi paused in front of the door, not entirely sure what to do. He raised his hand first to the knob, reaching for, but not touching the colored metal, before pulling his hand higher on the door and fisting it around the air.

Preparing to knock, the door suddenly swung open and a girl formed in front of him.

"Kuro..." She gasped, grasping for the doorknob beside her and quickly clinging to it, resting most of her weight there. His eyes widened at the girl, surprised by her sudden appearance.

"Hey," He said quietly, feeling calmer and a little awkward with her materialization. "I was just coming to check on you..."

She nodded in understanding, a stiff lipped smile spreading her face while her knuckles whitened around the doorknob.

"Yeah, I'm late, I know." She replied softly, a shaky grimace forming at the end. She began to step around him taking on her own balance and letting go of the doorknob. "I'm sorry, I wasn't up to make—" She stumbled into him landing limply against his chest with a groan but never moving to catch her fall as her arms swung lightly at her sides. He caught her as she slumped against his chest, seeming too weak to move for a moment, before a slurred apology escaped her.

"I'm sorry... I must've let go of the door too soon." She told him somberly.

"Kiyo?! What—" Panic stricken and shocked he froze with uncertainty.

"Shh, calm down, I'm just a little...dizzy. There's no good reason to panic." She interrupted him louder but still below her normal talking voice.

They were quiet for a while as he silently continued to worry and she silently continued to rest against him. As the moment lasted, her lack of movement began to stress his already frayed nerves further and he wondered whether she was too weak to move...or worse. Had she fainted against his chest? What would he do if she had? Should he try to take her to the hospital?...Where was the hospital?

"I can hear your heartbeat." She suddenly murmured, saving him from his frightened delusions as he realized she was still conscious. "It's racing like a hummingbird's wing, why are you still so panicked? I told you not to worry, everything is fine." She told him, her voice almost back to normal, as she pushed carefully off his chest with a hand on each shoulder. "There, see?" She said looking up to his holding expression of worry and smiled a close-lipped smile, while her hands came back down to her sides. "I can even stand on my own now, so I'm alright, okay? Come on, we need to go, we're already late as it is and standing around here isn't gonna' fix anything." With that she turned around and began to walk down the hall.

...

'I am strong. I have to be strong. I have to be...' She chanted to herself in her mind, as she felt his eyes boring into her slowly distancing back. Her feet seemed too heavy as the hall in front of her seemed to get longer instead of shorter and the eyes watching her leave felt more intimate with every step away, like they could read her every thought and feeling with a single glance, like none of her carefully put together façade hid the building feeling of fear inside her. She staggered.

Then, he was there. She walked straight into him, as he appeared suddenly directly in front of her, almost knocking her backwards. He grabbed her shoulders and pulled her to him again as his lips arrived at her ear.

"As if I could believe you were alright, don't joke with me." He whispered heavily into her ear, his breath blowing strands of her hair. She took a deep breath as a split second pause ensued where the only thing running through her suddenly crystal clear mind was the scent and heat of him so close to her, his neck within inches of her face.

She leaned forward...

And suddenly shoved him away, causing him to stumble back while she recoiled from him, fear showing plainly in her eyes.

"What?" Kuroboshi asked obviously anxious, unnerved by her frightened stance. She stared for just a second, her shoulders stiff and fingers frozen, her eyes filled with a shocked kind of horror while her breath stuck between open lips. His eyebrows pulled together in somewhat of a dejected expression. "Kiyo, are you alright?"

Seeing the pain in his eyes she immediately stood straight once more. She stared at his feet as she attempted to hide the thriving fear from her features, knowing he would wrongly interpret the traces of panic beginning to well at the corners of her eyes and show in the quivering of her lips.

"Kiyo?"

"I'm fine!" She said, sounding harsh as she tried to hide the shaking of her voice. She regretted the tone as soon as it was out but the only thing she wanted was to go back in her room and hide. She wanted to lock the door and never come back out; she knew that the longer she stayed here by his side the harder whatever this was, whatever was happening to her, would be to keep hidden. "I'm fine." She repeated quieter now. "I just...I...Go to school without me." She finally got out, quickly turning back toward her room and using the wall to help her back to the door.

Kuroboshi stood frozen where she left him,the echo of the door's lock turning still resonating through the hall with an empty click.

...

"I don't understand," he mumbled, sitting at the table across from Alshu, his eyes staring dazedly at the white surface. Setting the newsprint to the side the man stared at him, a look of study in his gaze. There was a thick pause, then Alshu smiled a slapped on look of complete ignorance as he turned back toward the sink with his dirty cup and saucer.

"Well, I think she just needs a little rest. I'm sure by tomorrow everything will have gone back to normal and Kiyo-sama will–"

"Don't lie to me, Alshu." Kuroboshi interrupted him, impatience penetrating his worried tone. "If you don't want to tell me the truth then you don't have to, but I don't want your crap." Alshu stopped by the counter setting the glass wares down and staring at their abandoned forms.

"Could you believe that it's just a cold?" Alshu asked without hope, a somewhat sarcastic tone behind the question.

"You didn't see the look on her face, Alshu!" Kuroboshi replied sounding tortured, as he laid his head on his arms. "The fear in her eyes..."

Alshu was silent. There was a long pause where only the sounds of kitchen ware being put away filled the room.

"Could she be...do you think she was afraid of me?" Kuroboshi asked quietly, sounding more unsure than the servant had ever heard him sound before. Alshu was shocked, but only for a moment as he composed himself again, realizing this was a question to which his master really wanted an answer.

Alshu replied the only way he felt he could: "Why don't you go ask her?"
