Ok, here is the second Chapter sorry it took so long. I am working on two fan-fictions at once this one I got kind of behind on this one. The other one is on Fate/stay night for anyone so check it out if interested. In this chapter I as you will see I am just trying to combine my ideas with the original story line. I am also going to mix all the story path lines together a little so as to have a lot happening and fill in gaps or things I do not like. I will be working on this fic for a while so expect some more chapters. Thanks for reading so far please post your review be it good or bad, or send message via the private messenger.

Tsukihime Being Home

After fooling around on his computer for a while Shiki looks at his watch and sees that it is just a little past eight o'clock and still too early for him to go to sleep. So he decided to go and speak with Akiha hopefully working out her feeling of anger for him leaving her for eight years. He leaves his room and arrives at the sitting room to find Akiha relaxing alone neither Kohaku-san nor Hisui in sight. Though there are two teacups on the table one of them being used by Akiha. She notices him and set her teacup down and looks up at him. "Oh, do you drink tea after meals, to Nii-san?"

Her mood seem to be in better spirits then it had been earlier in the day, Shiki thought to himself as he stood there. "Ah, no nothing like that. I just thought I would come and talk to you". He let his expression let her know that he will leave if she wants him to. "Then please, sit down. Is tea alright for you?" "Ah, sure; I will take anything", he said as he sat down on the coach. Akiha picked up a teapot and pours some red tea into another teacup. She hands him the cup and he take it thanking her and tentatively takes a sip. He examines Akiha from over the tea cup as he take a slow sip of the tea and tries to figure out what to say.

"Nii-san, you are very quiet. Did you not come to talk to me", she asked him while staring at him making him feel as if he does not know her. He collects his thought as he stares at her and finally finds something to say that does not sound complete idiotic. "Well, I was just wondering, what you have been doing for the past eight years." She crossed her arms as she stared at him her posture and Shiki got the feeling her anger was acting up again. "It goes without saying. With Nii-san not around, father's attention turned solely to me." At this her stare turn to a glare of complaint the past eight years being a taboo subject. "And what about you, what have you been doing for eight years? I sent many letters, but I did not receive a single reply."

Shiki nearly choked on his tea after hearing this, she had gone straight for the killing blow. She had indeed sent him many letters and he had not replied. He had wanted to write her but at the same time he had wanted to cut all ties with the Tohno mansion, which had made him fail to write her back. There was also the fact that his father would have stone walled him he had tried to reply having told him not to have contact with her. "Well, do not worry about the letters. Even if you had answered, I am sure father would never have allowed the replies into the house. More importantly, how do you feel, returning to the mansion for the first time in eight years? It has changed very little, though there was some restoration work done."

Shiki remained silent the statement not fitting how he felt about the mansion. To him it seemed that a lot of things were completely unknown to him. "Nii-san", she asked with his name waiting for a reply. "Ah, no I was just lost in thought for a moment. Um, you say this mansion's changed very little, but it is pretty unsettling for me. Though this sitting room and the lobby are kind of familiar, I cannot really remember the corridor, or my room." At this she stares at him and he can sense that there is something she is keeping hidden from him from what he can pick up form her eyes. "Really, I guess eight years is a long time." He nods to her even though he knows that something up with him remembering who Kohaku and Hisui were but not simple things like the house.

"Well, it has been eight years so it does not feel right, but I think I will get used to it. I will be thankful if you overlook my poor manners for a while." Hearing this Akiha crosses her arms and glares at him again. "Please, do not be ridiculous. I can hardly look any more leniently upon Nii-san's manners than I do already." Shiki is barely able to stop himself from spraying to from his mouth as he flashes back to dinner and how she had reacted to him using the wrong knife. Her looks had caused him to break out in a cold sweat and he made himself not visible shiver. "I see you were being lenient back then." "Yes, I am making concessions appropriate to your abilities. Nii-san has been brought up by the Arimas, after all. As Aunt Keiko come from a branch family, a certain amount of leeway given, and you were spoiled, Nii-san. The result is the supper we had a while ago."

Shiki sighs to himself at hearing this he had thought his life was fairly normal up till now but apparently that was different for Akiha. "Well, it cannot be helped, cant it? We never thought I would be returning here." Hearing this Akiha's posture changed again the look she had on her face was almost a pout and she put her hands behind her back. "Is that so, you almost sound like you did not want to return, Nii-san." Shiki stops himself from rubbing his forehead in the frustration at her comment and answer her right of the bat. "Do not be stupid, it is not like that. I may have had my doubts, but I could not just leave you alone here, could I? What kind of brother would I be then?" This was a true fact the alone reason he had returned was for Akiha and the two sister who he had missed all this time.

He looks at her letting his seriousness show in his eyes as he speaks to her. "Since I heard nothing for almost eight years, I always wondered whether you were alright on your own. I came back to the mansion because I was worried about you", he said this look a little to the side toward the end his honest feeling coming out. Akiha looks away slightly her face as she moves her hair with her palm to the side. "Ah, well then thank…" "But I guess I was worrying over nothing. In the past eight years, you seem to have grown strong. I am relieved, but a little disappointed." He interrupted her speaking only a part of his mind since his mind still drifting to the calm back when she was little. She turns back to him her eyes becoming cold again as she glares at him. "Really, I am sorry I do not meet Nii-san's expectations", she said as her scary eyes sent a chill through Shiki spine. Shiki then curses himself for running his mouth a little too much.

Akiha crosses her arms her glare still on him and she changes the subject of the conversation. "Well then, Nii-san. How was life at the Arima residence", she ask her voice still cold and her frightening expression still up. Shiki sighs inwardly as he feel the terrible pressure coming from his sister who younger than himself. "Nii-san", she asks after he does not answer her question. "Did you hear what I said?" "I heard life at the Arimas, right? It was normal, there were no real problems. It seems it was more suited for me living there, too." She lowers her arms her and her facial expression changed to one of seriousness. "That is not what I meant. How was your health? I have heard you collapsed a lot form your chronic anemia." He took in her expression for a moment while he formulated his response there being thing he was not willing to tell her.

"Ah, yeah, I did for about a year after I left the hospital, but I am okay now. I only have problems occasionally, about once a month. I have worked on strengthening my body over the past few years, having trained underneath my Master who had lived next door. With the training my body became stronger so I had less attacks and my health is better than it was even before the accident. I am certainly not frail enough to be worried about", he said this ending with a strike to his chest as a bluff. This was somewhat true, but he still had issues that caused him pain, but he was not about to tell that to Akiha and have her worry about him. Akiha nods to him seriously in assent as she studies him quietly. "But Nii-san, you have also started wearing glasses. After going to the hospital, did your eyesight fail, also?"

This surprised him for a moment the he remember that she did not know about him wearing glasses or why he was wearing them. He stops for a moment to think again since he cannot tell her that his eyes can see line along which things break or that he see them only with the glasses off. He sighs and then decides on what he going to say. "Well, it is nothing. My eyes became a little strange after the accident. But it is not like my eyesight's gone bad so it is not really a serious problem." After he said that to her Akiha relaxed her posture little as she looked at him. "Really… I was well; I was surprised when I saw you a while ago. I did not know you had started wearing glasses, Nii-san." This surprised Shiki a little since his sister had shown him but her calm and cold demeanor for the most part. "Really, you seemed pretty calm back then."

She crossed her arms again as she stared at him her face appearing a little sullen. "Of course, I was meeting you for the first time in eight years; I could not let you see me acting strange." Then Kohaku stuck her had into the room putting a pause on the conversation. "Akiha-sama, the bath is ready; what should I do?" Akiha looked over to her calmly her appearance having relaxed somewhat. "Really, thank you Kohaku. I will go soon, so go ahead." The made appeared a little stunned as she looked at the Akiha and clasped her hands in front of herself. "Ah, is that alright? After all, you are relaxing with Shiki-sama. Shiki-sama might run away, but the bath will not. Please relax a little longer."

Shiki take slight offense at her saying that he will run away but he knows that she means well for him and Akiha. "It is fine. We are not talking about anything important anyways." After saying this she stands and walks past Kohaku and into the lobby. Kohoku follows after her throwing an apologetic smile towards Shiki before she left the room. Shiki sighs to himself and finishes his tea by himself in the sitting room. His mind start to wonder as he wondered if Akiha and Kohaku were taking a bath together but he shook his head to clear the thoughts from his head. He does not saying anything out loud as but it would still be bad for him to have those thought, and to emphasize said point…

"Well, you are free to imagine whatever you wish, Nii-san, but…" Shiki jumps as Akiha walks back with amazing timing and glares at him with her arms crossed. "Do not force Hisui to do stupid things. Unlike Kohaku, she does not really like jokes." She looks at him accusingly as if she can see his thoughts and he shrinks back against the couch. "Wait, what are you doing back here? Were you not taking a bath with Kohaku-san?" "I forgot to tell you something about the bath. Nii-san, the large bathroom we used a long time ago is not used anymore. It would be too much for Hisui and Kohaku to take care of, so it has been closed up." At this Shiki mind goes blank as he cannot remember a large bathroom and he make a doubtful face. Seeing this Akiha's brows knit terrible frustration in f as she looks at him with her cold stare at him not being able to remember. "The bath in the courtyard, you do not even remember that?" His thought flicker a little and his memories seem to tell him that such and thing to exist. "But, this is a European-style mansion. Is not such a thing a little out of place?" "Father half-liked the Japanese style of architecture. That is why the detached building is Japanese style as well. Anyway, if you want to have a bath, please use you own; the second bathroom behind the lobby is yours, Nii-san."

She leaves him alone in the sitting room again going to take her bath and he decides to leave the sitting room. He goes and takes a bath at his designated bathroom and then returns to his room noticing that his bed had been made. He stands there staring at it scratching his check and there is a knock at the door. "Are you there, Shiki-sama", asked Hisui voice from the other side of the door. "Yeah, I am here. Come in." She opens the door and comes in to the room. "Excuse me", is all she said and then bowed to him. He thanks her for fixing his bed and she nods in acceptance. He sighs inwardly still not used to her emotionlessness. "Uh, is there anything else you want to tell me", he asked trying to get rid the awkwardness. "No, nothing from me, but Akiha-sama has instructed me to answer any questions you may have."

He nods to her as he ponders this since he has a lot of questions but does not know which ones to ask her. "I see, there are many things I want to ask, but I will probably get to know them as I continue to live here…" He stops as he realizes there is one question he wants to have answer since the factor would get in the way of some of his habits. "Is it true that the curfew here is seven?" She looks up at him and nods before she answers. "Yes, the main gate is locked at seven, and all the entrances to the mansion are to be locked at eight. It is also a rule that one must try not to go walking around in the mansion after ten."

Shiki is caught off guard by the last part since it seemed a little over board and it would stop him from completing one of his goals before the night was over. "Not even walking around in the mansion? Well, I have got no complaints with that, but isn't that kind of harsh? Akiha and I are not children, so I do not think you have to go that far?" She stares at him quietly for a moment before answering. "Indeed, but it is a rule, however, so please abide by it. You are aware of the recent disturbances at night, are you not, Shiki-sama?" He was in fact familiar with vampire killer stories that were showing up on the new and his master was having him monitor it for some unknown reason.

"What else, oh, do you mind if I ask an off-topic question?" "Yes, what is it?" "I would like to know what kind of work you and Kohaku-san do around here." He was feeling generally curious about his childhood friends and was also hoping to get and know the two of them better. "I am here to serve you needs and my sister Kohaku is to serve the Lady Akiha-sama. In our spare time, we do the maintenance chores around the mansion. Is there anything more you would like to know?" His mood drops at hearing this, since she was being an emotionless doll and he did not want a girl his age serving him. She repeats her question from early and he decides his answer. "There is nothing I particular but could you stop calling me Shiki-sama. To be honest, I get chill down my back when I hear it." "But Shiki-sama, you are my master." He exhales loudly hearing this is uncomfortable feeling reaching the max and he put his hand on his forehead.

"That is what I am saying I hate. I have been living a normal life up until yesterday. I have no desire to start living a life where a girl my age addresses me with –sama." "I see", is how she responds her tone less than enthusiastic. "Just call me Shiki, and in exchange, I will call you Hisui. With that she proceeds to disagree with him on the point and completely disregards the point calling him Shiki-sama as she goes to the door to leave. He remembers that goes to stop her having something else to ask her and put his hand on her shoulder.

The instant his hand touched her she stiffened and slapped his arm away with great force and leapt back from him. The move is so sudden that Shiki is stunned into silence and cannot think of anything to say at all. She is expressionless but glares at him fiercely with her arms held against her chest. Shiki is even more shocked by this how she is acting this not being like her at all from his memories. "Eh, did I just do something wrong?" Hearing this she blushes and looks down cast actually showing some emotion on her face. "Ah, I am very sorry", she said in a voice that sounded very nervous. "I am not used to being touched. Please forgive me." Shiki notices that her shoulders are faintly trembling, and he feels like had done something terrible.

He apologizes to her without knowing why he had done so himself and lower his head a little. After a few minutes she returns to normal and she tells him to it was her fault. "Um, what is it you wanted to ask me, Shiki-sama?" With that he asks her a few more questions about Akiha going to school and Hisui answer them emotionlessly. She tells him that she lives at home and attends her school which takes a while to get to since he is at home. With that she leaves him then with a bow and he is alone in the room. With that he goes to his computer letting out another sigh and waits there until he is sure that all the other are all asleep.

When the clock chimes letting him know that it is twelve o'clock at night he turns the computer off and walks over to his suitcase and opens it up. He pulls a tab that is not visible to the eye straight of the bat on the side of the case and a secret panel is revealed. He pulls a metal box from the compartment and set it on the table in front of him. He unlocks it by pressing the key on the top and opens it reviling two handguns with suppressors on them. He takes both of them out and slips them into the holster underneath his cloths along with some extra clips. He preferred to use knives but his master had trained him to be able to use the gun in situation where he would need them. He did not necessarily need the weapon but he was a little more couscous with the murder happen out lately.

He slipped on one of his jacket from the suitcase and then went to the window. He slipped the window open and crawled out of it. He then jumped and landed on the ground bending his knees to absorb the impact. He then made his way to the wall around the property and stopped examining it. After examining it her ran at the wall and used his momentum to scale it. His hand grasps the top of it and he pulled himself up on to the top with easy. He looked around to make sure no one was around to see him and then dropped to the other side not making a sound. With that he straightened his cloths and walks down the side walk heading for the park.

After about thirty minutes he arrives at the park which is dark save for underneath the lamps spaced throughout the park. He comes to a stop at one of the benches and sits down pulling his cellphone from his the clip on his hip. He quickly types a message and sends it to his master letting him now that he was there. He receives a message back from his master and a figure wearing a black coat walks toward him coming out of the shadows. He looks up examining the person he is walking toward him a lets a smile appear on his face. "Ah, so master seems to have pulled a fast one again, huh? He made you come in his stead."

The figure stopped in front of him and pulled the hood of the coat down reviling the face of a woman framed by short red hair. "Yes, that is how it is. He has an important meeting with some else tonight so here I am. He already told me what the issue was, but do you have anything else to add?" She sat down next to him and handed him a cup of can of coffee while she open her own. "Nothing much, except for the fact that her records are almost none existent. The ring let me be able to detect her magical energy but only after she had tried to use magic on me." He opened his can and took a few sips of the warm coffee while looking at her face. She turned and looked at him her face unreadable like it always was.

"Well from what we can tell there should be no unrecognized magus in this area and or sources in the Mages Association tell us that she is not one of theirs. So I and master can only assume that she is a part of the church, and her reason for coming to town due to the vampire killings. So it is not strange that she may be looking into you as well, since you are a part of the Tohno family." At that he stopped and looked over to her in surprise. "Light-san, are you saying that there is an actual vampire running around the city?" The woman looked at him for a minute and took a sip from her can of coffee before answering his question.

"It appears that way and not just one maybe two of them based on the killings. It seems that you will have to be more on guard and be ready to take the glasses off. If it is serious enough for the church to send someone to clean it up we have to be on guard as well." She looked over to him her face serious as she took in his expression which to his knowledge should have been emotionless. "As for the girl, who is watching you at school, we will need a photo of her and you should keep an eye on her and gather as much information from her as you can without altering her. From what the master tell me there are other players who are showing up in town that we will have wary of over the next few weeks. She reached into her coat pocket and pulled a folder and a portable hardrive and handed them to him. "That folder has all the basic information about vampire that you should be versed on and the hardrive has the data you requested from the master a few weeks ago."

With that woman got up, chucked the empty can into the trashcan, slipped her hood back, on and walked away disappearing in to the shadows again. Shiki let out a long sigh once she had gone and leaned back in the seat. He drank the last of his coffee and then got from the seat and started the walk home this time he decided to take his time. As he was walking out of the park on to a strip of empty road to which he looked to both sides. He stopped in his track as he looked to the left of the road and his spine had a chill run down it. Standing underneath one of the street lamps was a tale figure wearing all black and staring in his direction. Shiki hand instinctively grasped the knives strapped onto his wrist and as he the chill grew in the air. His mind for a reason he could not discern was telling him that the person standing in front of him was not human.

His heart to go up and his adrenaline began to pump into his blood, but he was frozen in place by an overwhelming fear that he could not pin down. Shiki pulled a tab hidden in the seam of each his sleeves with his index finger and to knives popped out holsters in his sleeves in to his hands. He did not open them but held them ready his mind screaming at him on one half to run and on the other two fight. The man turned to look at him and Shiki had to hold back the urge to run. The man eyes face showed no emotion as his eyes ran over Shiki. The man then turned around and walked off disappearing into the shadows. Shiki let out a long gasp finding that he had been holding his breath and he leaned against a nearby telephone pole. He sat there for a few seconds but got up the and started to walk heading back from home but the unnatural chill still crept up his spine.

With that he broke out into a full out run for home his irrational fear getting the best of him. He arrived at the walls around the Tohno house within twenty minutes and he quickly jumped and pulled himself over the wall. He dropped to the ground landing on his side and stayed there breathing hard while trying to slow his heart rate. After a short while he had calmed down enough to get up and quickly made it back to his room climbing though the window. Once there he throws himself on to the bed his energy leaving his body. He then falls asleep unable to keep himself conscious his bodies condition showing up for the first time in a while.

Shiki wakes as he up the next day his head throbbing lightly while and he opens his eyes only to close them as fast as he can. His vision had been showing the line all across his room because his glasses were not on. He sits there as the pain spike in his head from the headache reacting to his eyes. He reached out grabbing his glasses he slipped them over his eyes and then opened them slowly. He let out a short sigh as the lines were not visible and the throbbing in his headache died down he looked at clock which told him that it was four thirty in the morning. He got out of the bed and quickly stretched his sore muscles cramped from his sleeping position. He then went over to the dress or and changed into a plain t-shirt and some gym shorts. He then put his MP3 player into a slot on the sound system and started his music playing it quietly so as not to make much noise.

He went over to the corn of the corner of the room and pulls a mate out from the place where he had placed it and walked to the center of the room and set it out. He stood on top of it and then proceeded to stretch and loosen all the muscles getting ready for his workout. He then proceeds to exorcise doing the simple one like jumping jacks and push up first. The once he had warmed himself up pulled out two waited sticks and proceeded to practice his fighting skills against imagined enemies. He slashed and stabbed with the stick like they were knives as he spun, duked, and moved on the mat. An hour later he sat down on the mat a fill of sweat on his body and clicked a remote turning the music off.

He wiped the sweat from his body with a towel and then crossed his legs on the mat a lay his arm on top of them. He then slowed his breathing and closed his eyes begin the second part of his morning routine to calm his mind. He meditates just thinking about the current event and what he would be doing that day. After another thirty minutes is was now six o'clock and his clock beeped letting him now it was time to get ready for school. He was just opening his eyes when there was a knock at the door and then it opened. "Shiki-sama, it is morning", said Hisui in emotionless voice as she enter the room but did not see him on the bed and turned a look of surprise on her face to find him sitting on the floor. "Good morning Hisui, thank you for coming to wake me up. But I was already up and have just finished my daily workout routine."

With that he pulled himself up as Hisui bowed and told him good morning. "Is there anything you need Shiki-sama," she asked as he moved to the desk and turned on the computer. She placed his clean and folded uniform on to the bed. "No there is not anything is particular, thank you ", he said as he sat and brought up his email and checked it. "Very well here is your uniform Shiki-sama, please come to the sitting room after you have gotten dressed." After saying this she bows and leaves him in the room alone he shakes his head still not used to her emotionless voice. He then checks his mail and finds that he had received two. One of them was from his friend and fellow student, Shiro Emiya who lived in Fuyuki City. The other was from Shiro's sister, Karin who was also his friend.

Both of the letter were both asking him how he was doing while also giving him a report how they were doing. The two of them were studying under the same Master as him, except in their case they were learning mage craft. They also worked for the organization that his Master was the leader of that was in opposition to the Mages Association and the Holy Church. He had last seen them that the last summer after they had all gone to a vacation together. He smiled as he read what they had written him and then he quickly typed them return emails. He sent the emails and then shut of the computer. He went to the bed and pulled the folder and the hardrive from under his pillow and put them in his bag. He then quickly got dressed and head for the door.

He arrives at the sitting room a few moments later to find Akiha and Kohaku relaxing. Akiha was wearing the uniform belonging to the Asagami Ladies Academy, which was a famous school for girls. Both of them had cups of tea in their hand and were sipping from the quietly. "Good morning Akiha. Good morning Kohaku-san." They both look up at him as he enters the room and hearing him greet them. "Good morning, Shiki-san", Kohaku said first a bright smile on her face that could not get any bigger. "Good morning, Nii-san", Akiha greets him and getting up along with Kohaku. "Shall we eat breakfast together?"

With that they head into the dining room and sit down as Kohaku and Hisui set the food out in front of both of them. They eat breakfast only exchanging a few words just like the previous night's dinner until they are finished. "Well, I am now out of time, so please excuse me, Nii-san." Akiha leaves to head to school escorted by Kohaku. Shiki drinks a quick cup of tea and then head to the lobby and finds Hisui waiting for him holding his bag. He stops in front her and she hand him his bag. "Will there be enough time, Shiki-sama", she asked her eye going to the clock. "Yeah, it is not even twenty minutes to school from here if I run. It is seven-thirty now, so I could make if even if I take the long way."

Hisui nods to this satisfied with his answer and then tell him that she will escort him out. Kohaku shows up and tell him to have a good day and then they head out the door. Hisui escort him all the way to the front gate and stops as he stops hearing a noise in the distance. Hisui explain that they had been a blood stain found on the road east of the mansion and that there was blood on the fence as well. She tells him that there was nothing to worry about when he inquires and he drops as he remembers what he saw that night. He leaves with her telling him to be safe and then he was off heading for school through the almost barren streets.

He arrives at the school shortly after and he head into the building making it into the homeroom which is filled with students talking with each other. Shiki heads to his seat and places his bag on the floor before sitting down and catching his breath. He hears someone call him and he looks up to see Arihiko walk toward him with an unexpected person. Shiki has to force himself to not visible flinch as Ciel is following behind Arihiko. "Uh, Senpai, why are you in our classroom", ask letting his tone show his surprise. "Huh, is it so unusual, I was just wondering if you were in class, so I decided to come over to see you, Tohno-kun."

After that Arihiko and Ciel start a conversation with him the two of them talking like they know each other. Shiki put on his act and goes along with while they idle chatter as Yumizuka showed up and joined them. Soon after Ciel leaves and the other two went to their seats with any further words leaving Shiki at his desk. Shiki let out a long breath as set his head down on the desk the entire conversation Ciel had been staring with her watching eyes. The class starts and the teacher begins the day lesson while he lifts his head from the desk. He felt his phone on his hip vibrate and he slips out of the clip and checks it under the desk. He had received a text from his Master and he opens the reads the small text slow as to not make a mistake. The message told said they had found out whom Ciel really was and that he would receive the information via an email.

After that the day passes quickly and it is the afternoon and fifth period before Shiki realizes it as he is sitting in his desk after eating with everyone. He looks out the window having already studied the subject by himself at home. A crow land on the window and stops staring straight at him and he freezes as he the ring and his senses tell him that this is not a normal crow. The crow lurches at him and Shiki vision goes white he loses balance. A pain build in the back of his head that slowly throbs as it grows feeling like something is trying to break out of his skull. Shiki realizes that he is most likely having one of his anemia attacks. His vision goes dark for a second as attempts to hold on to the desk for support but end up losing his strength in his arms and is about to fall.

Something roughly hits him on the back and holds him in his seat as a voice call out to the teacher. "Excuse me, Sensei. Tohno's looking pretty bad, so I would like to take him to the infirmary." Shiki looks up to see Arihiko holding him in place and wonder when he got there. The teacher stops his lecture and looks at Shiki who is being supported by Arihiko. "Are you really feeling bad, Tohno", he ask some worry crossing his face. Shiki tries to say something but is cut off as the pain in his head throbs and his body continues feeling weak. "Man, he is totally out of it. Would it not better for him to leave early", Arihiko ask before Shiki can try and speak again. "I see, if you say so, Inui, then there is no mistake about it. I have already heard about Tohno's health from Kunifuji-Sensei. Tohno, if you are not feeling well, then you may go rest in the infirmary or leave early."

Shiki reluctantly agree after Arihiko tell him to go and tell the teacher he is leaving. Shiki grabs his bag and drags himself from the class room after Arihiko returns to his seat. He leaves the school deciding to head home to lie down. As he walks of the school ground he start to breathe in the cool air and his mind start clear a little and his body start to regain it energy. He take is slow as he as hey works his way heading down the main street heading for his home. His head throbs painfully and he stops putting his hand on his forehead and find that it is hot. He takes a long breath and leans against the guardrail not willing to risk falling over in the middle of the road. While he tries to rest he watches the traffic pass by as people and cars pass him with noticing him standing there.

He decided that he has rested enough after a short amount of time and gets up and start walking home. But he stops dead having been looking at a crowed his eyes focusing one single person walking through the like all the others. She has golden hair down to her shoulders and crimson red eyes. She is wearing all white clothing looking nature on her form as she walks through the crowed. His pulse races and his veins and arteries throbs as blood flows strongly through them. All the nerves in his body flicker as a chill runs down his back. At seeing this beautiful woman his vision blurs and his consciousness flickers as if his brain was short circuiting.

Shiki without knowing why starts walking dropping in a distance behind her following his breath coming in ragged gasp. He closes in slowly as she walks at a slow pace not realizing she is being followed by him. Shiki body begins is working on its own and thought that are not his but his flicker through his head faster so fast he cannot tell what they are. All he can tell is that his mind is telling him that there is something he is going to do to her. Shiki hand slips his hands into his jacket pockets and his fingers grasp the knife he had gotten as inheritance. He mind tell him that it is perfect having all that he need to do it but he cannot figure what is happening.

He comes to a stop as she steps into an apartment building and get into the elevator. He sits and examines the building and sees that it has six floors from the mailboxes. He walks up to them and touches one of them. A he smell hit his nose and he knows that she is on the sixth floor and in the third room. He enters the elevator and presses the button of the sixth floor and struggles to regain control of his body as inkling what is about to happen. His heart as his get excited for the reason something that he does not want to happen as he tries to get control of his body, but his body ignores his commands.

The elevator stops and he walks to her door which he found with ease in the empty corridor. He comes to a stop and his hands remove his glasses slowly revealing the black line on the door as well as points appearing at random. He rings the doorbell and some said yes a girl voice said from the other side of the door and then it opened a crack. He forces his way through the door in an instant and he blurs into action. As soon as he was through the door pulls the knife out and is drawing the knife across the lines running through her body his hand moving fast. In an instant he dismantles her into seventeen pieces of meat. "Eh", is the only sound in the room coming from the girl mouth as she fell into pieces on the floor.

Eyes stare at the sight in front of him and he freaks out in his head having butchered her in to piece in an instant. Blood pools on the floor not having even splattered on the wall of the apartment and the scent fill his nose. Shiki consciousness flicker and he regains control of his body but he only stares in shock dumbfounded at what he had just done. He instinctively jumps back as the blood almost touches his foot as it spreads. His mind panics as his mind screams that he had just committed murder. Even though he had been trained to kill when need this was just wrong. He leans over the nearby sink and throws up the contents of his stomach while tears run down his face.

At that moment Shiki vision blurs and time seems to slow as red can be drip from his lips and then everything goes black. He chokes on each breath and then he completely loses consciousness the last sensation being that of his legs moving on their own.
