Okay, thanks for opening it and reading, I think you'll like it…maybe not though. I'm making everything up on spot so…enjoy. R&R!! n_n o.O


"I hate to break it to you, Akira, but just because you're taller it doesn't mean you're scarier. I can be quite scary at times," I said while chopping up onions for the stir fry. "And jumping out and saying boo doesn't cut it either." I always made dinner for our breakfast and breakfast for our dinner.

"Well I know a way to scare you," he grinned.

"And using fangs is cheating," I added quickly. Fangs really did scare me and he knew it.

"Damn." I grinned to myself, happy I'd been able to tell what he was thinking. Technically, I shouldn't be afraid of vampires since I came from a vampire hunter's family. But I had always been the one that screamed and cowered in a corner. I had known Akira since…birth. He was a vampire friend of the family and actually babysat us – me, Chikako, and my brother, Akira (he was named in honor of Akira the vampire; a vampire hunter named after a vampire…it is quite weird). But one time our parents didn't come back…so Akira, the vampire, went off looking for them. That's when a Pureblood vampire attacked the house and made off with Akira, my brother. I've always just assumed he was dead.

"Can you pass me that knife?" I asked pointing to the knife sitting across the room. "I want to cut up the chicken." He shrugged, grabbed the knife then set it on the counter next to me. So now I just live with Akira the vampire.

"As long as you don't slice your thumb again. Driving to the hospital at night is one thing but its twilight." I laughed and started cutting the chicken into slices. "And driving with the scent of your blood is quite difficult." I glanced at him quickly then went back to my work.

"Yes well, I'm sorry for my blood type."

"We can blame your parents," he laughed. I laughed too.

After dinner we both sat and watched TV.

"Did you hear that Kaname-sama is going to that private school?" he asked suddenly.

"Only about three times. All because of you, may I add?"

"Well I just think that isn't smart for vampires to go to school with humans."

"You do realize they, like, never see each other, right? Vampires are called the Night Class and the humans are the Day Class. Duh."

"Whatever," he laughed nudging me a little. I took on vampire hours because of him; awake at night and asleep during the day. He also taught be how to fight for myself if I ever have to, but I've always hoped I wouldn't. "Well, what do you want to do today? I heard there was a Level E vampire around this part – or falling to Level E that is."

"Sure, whatever," I sighed; standing up. But he grabbed my arm and pulled me back down, next to him.

"Sure? Whatever? You sound grumpy," he laughed, brushing away a strand of run-away hair.

"It's nothing," I sneered, pushing his hand away.

"How rude. You know, most people would treat an Aristocrat vampire a lot nicer."

"Well I'm not most people."

"Would you turn up the heat?" I asked from the back seats. "It's like an ice box in here! I swear that my hair will be frozen by the time we get where ever it is that we're going!" I held up a piece of my red hair to make a point.

"Drama queen," he laughed. I rolled my eyes and leaned against the seat. Akira wouldn't let me sit in the front seat because I was only thirteen, even though I should be aloud to sit in it at twelve.

"I'm bored, are we there yet?"

"We are not playing the are-we-there-yet game," he said sternly. "And we're heading to that old apartment building. I think he's taking refuge in there."

"Fine," I grumbled, slumping down low in my seat.

When the car finally parked he turned around to face me. "I think this is a job I should do on my own," he said.

\

"Then why did you bring me?" He shrugged.

"I don't trust you home alone. Oh, and don't get out of the car for any reason. The car keys are in the front seat." I felt my eyes bulge at him and was about to yell at him but he was already out of the car with the door closed. I settled close to my seat and readied myself for the long wait ahead of me.

After about five minutes of my long wait I heard a tapping at the front of the car. I undid my seatbelt and crammed myself into the front seat to look out the windshield. There wasn't anything there though. I rubbed my eyes a few times then picked up the car keys and started the car so that I could turn on the radio. Haunting by Evanescence was on. "Long lost words whisper slowly to me. Still can't find what keeps me here. When all this time I've been so hollow...inside…"

I started singing along to it until I heard a loud knock come from the side – louder then the music and it was up almost to the maximum! I jumped a little and slid back into the back seats. Suddenly the car started to vibrate, and not like an engine motor, like someone was shaking it on purpose.

My senses were jumbled and I couldn't comprehend what was happening. I unlocked my door and jumped out of the car. That's when I felt hands grab at me then my mind shot out. My eyes went black and I fell into the person's arms.

Somewhere in the back of my mind I heard shouting. They were just noises though, no words. I felt body being jerked out of the arms of the person who I fell into. I recognized one sound to be Akira just because of how long I've known him. I tried to make my mouth work, to call to him, but it stayed out of my control. Then again I felt my body being jerked away from the person keeping me. More yelling. It was getting quite annoying.

I started getting feeling back into my arms and my hearing started to pick up the words.

"…you here?" Akira was asking for, it sounded like, about the hundredth time.

"I told you already. A visit," a male voice laughed. "To my little brother." Little brother? Does he mean Akira?

"I don't want a visit from you, Akihiko," Akira growled. "But I do thank you for saving Chikako from that Level E." Saving Chikako? I was in danger?

"No problem, she needed saving, the stupid girl." After the person holding me set me down, I heard grunting and someone fall to the ground.

"She's not stupid."


Thanks for reading! R&R
