"Mmm, over some,"
"H-here?"
"Nnn, yeah, there. Right there,"
"Y-you sure?"
"No, uh. Push harder!"

"Damnit woman do you want it here or not?" Toga dropped his side of the bed and doubled over.
"I'm getting old," he mumbled into a few sheets that had fallen from the bed we were carrying into the empty room. I laughed and dropped down beside him.
"Yeah, and class is in an hour," I groaned, looking at the clock that told the merciless time.

"I'm going to be too exhausted to teach Ethics,"
"Oh, come on. You can probably kill fifty level E's straight but you can't carry a bed into a room?"
"Yes well I didn't have a woman preaching to me on how and which ones I should kill. With you it's all: no I want to put it there. Oh but it's by the window and that's not safe so let's put it here. Oh but that blocks the closet so let's put it here. Oh but that's too close to the bathroom so I want to put it here. Oh wait, you're an inch off, push it left more!" he imitated me and I laughed, completely agreeing with how I was acting.

It was silly really. I don't know why I wanted everything to be perfect but that was how I was raised. Manners and etiquette classes went to waste, piano classes went to waste, ballet classes actually helped in the profession since I needed balance and flexibility, and martial arts classes were perfect. When I said I wanted to become a vampire hunter my parents were shocked. We'd come across a level E who cost my little sister an arm when I couldn't protect her. So I left and now I don't even know what they're doing anymore. They're probably in the news but I don't bother to look anymore.

I looked over to see Toga had fallen asleep, tangled in the bed sheets on the floor, so I snuggled up against him and went to sleep…

I awoke to a slight movement underneath me and the smell of smoke. I looked to see I was clinging onto a very content vampire hunter who had a cigarette fixed in his mouth.
"Good morning kitten,"
"Hey, Yogi bear," I yawned and rubbed my eyes like a little girl. Yagari was pretty close to Yogi so I took it. I'd seen the cartoon as a little girl.
"Nice and warm?"
"Mhm," I replied sleepily, then jerked awake and looked at the clock. It read 7:30am.

"We're going to be late you idiot! Damn damn damn," I jumped up, threw my leather coat back on, kicked the still sitting Toga, and stole his cigarette, taking a few quick puffs for myself.
"Hey, my class doesn't start until 7:45 and yours doesn't start until 8:50. We have fifteen minutes to get to my class," He got up and strode over to me, our bodies an inch apart.

He intimidated me to back down but I didn't. After a minute he pulled the blade guns out of my belt and through them behind him, landing on the bed with a soft thud.
"Don't bring your guns to the day class," he whispered, hands still on my waist, "and that's mine," he finally backed down and took the cigarette from my mouth.

"Since when do you smoke?" he inquired as we both left my room, taking the key from me to lock the door behind us.
"Since I decided I'm probably going to die early so health doesn't really matter. But only on occasion," I added in. I didn't smoke through two packs a day like Toga, just one cancer stick every other day when I was stressed out from the job.

"It's still not good for you," I snorted at his comment as we quickly strode down the corridors in tempo, falling back into our old patrolling stride. We reached the classroom just as the late bell rang and I followed him in to watch him teach. The girls in the room started asking Toga if I was his girlfriend and the guys in the room had hearts in their eyes that made me roll mine

"Hmm, she just might," He replied to the girls, and pressed me close to him causing them to squeal.
"Or I just might kill you," I whispered and jabbed him in the side, satisfying the jealous guys.
"Well class, she's your new English teacher, feisty isn't she?" I prodded him again, causing him to gruffly cough a little.

"I'm Yaiba Surudoi, please take care of me," I bowed and sat down in a chair next to the side wall. For someone who just started learning ethics himself, he was a pretty good teacher. It was crazy how the girls all fawned over him and the guys glared at him for taking all the attention from the girls. If school was like this before, I sure didn't remember it. Of course, I'd only ever gone through school up to 8th grade before becoming a vampire hunter. Another big factor was that it was a private elite all girls school.

I noticed a girl with long, wavy black hair and crystal blue eyes who Toga called out was Kira when he asked her to answer something. I knew she was the one I'd be teaching from the small blue glint of something concealed under her skirt when she stood up. No one would have seen it except someone skilled to. She had that air around her that only a vampire hunter who'd experienced a tragedy had.

There was also an empty seat and a girl I could immediately identify as Yuki Cross, Kai's adopted daughter. She was the reason Kai had left our group when I'd turned twenty. Toga quickly followed after when I was twenty-one. The girl was around sixteen now, thirteen when she was brought to Cross. The girl had broken our pack and I couldn't really blame her, but I still couldn't let go of Kaien leaving and our little group dispersing afterward.

When she was brought to him, he built the school that someone from his past wanted him to. The one who caused him to turn me down. The one who died, making a hole in his heart that couldn't be filled in no matter how hard I had tried in the past.

I jerked up when the bell had rung and Toga told me the students were all mine now. I started with a few exercises that the guys pretended not to know and need help with and the girls only wanted to know more about Toga. After class I went outside to get my bag off of my bike and bring my things up to my room.

"So how was class?" I should have known Toga would be leaning against my bike when I got there.
"I couldn't get their attention. It was all: 'What does Yagari-sensei look for in a girl?' and 'What does Surudoi-sensei look for in a guy?'" I replied tiredly.
"It'll pass,"
"When?"
"The couple hundred times they ask and you don't reply," I groaned at the answer and grabbed my bag that was next to him.

He grabbed my hand and took the bag from me, slinging it over his shoulder and walking up to my room. Whatever, it was heavy anyway. We arrived back at my room and I opened the door for him, letting him set the bag down as I took off my coat and threw it on the bed next to my guns.

"I'm going to take a shower," I pulled out the rubber band that held my hair in a ponytail and let my hair fall wispily around my face.
"Mmm, a shower sounds good," He took off his coat and threw it on mine, he took off his shirt and I gasped. No matter how many times I saw it, it still caused the same reaction.

There were scars on his chest, shoulder, and arms and I'd never dared ask where they came from. He was toned, we both had to be for our job. He pulled off his boots and I pulled off mine, throwing them at him.
"Go take a shower in your own room,"
"Why should I when there's a perfectly good one in your room?"
"You know damn well why you can't take a shower with me you lecher. You can stay and wait for me to get out, but if you peek there'll be hell to pay,"

"Yeah, yeah. Go take your shower," he plopped down on the bed and pulled a book out of my bag.
"'Seduction', that sounds steamy," he teased and opened up the page I'd bookmarked, "she moaned as he flicked his tongue across-"
"Don't read it out loud dumbass," I ran over and tried to grab the book from his hand.

"Our little kitten has desires," he smirked as he held out the book so that I had to tackle him on the bed to get it.
"Yeah I do so give me the book back," I argued, finally grabbing the book but being rolled over so he was on top of me.
"So why don't you ever let anyone help you with that fiery desire of yours? I can kiss, touch, and lick too," he was leaning in. Closer, closer, and I drove my knee up right where it should hurt. He rolled off of me and I jumped up and headed to the bathroom.

"You can kiss my ass, touch yourself, and lick an icy pole for all I care," I yelled as I slammed and locked the bathroom door behind me. I washed my face with cold water, trying to get the heated breath I'd felt as he leaned in out of my mind. When would he stop teasing me? It'd always been this way so why did I care now of all times? Of course Kaien couldn't be here to stop him. So why did I feel completely fine with that?

I looked into the mirror and saw it. I was attracted to the lecher that was Toga Yagari. I hadn't wanted him to stop back there. The more I denied it the more I realized. After five years of knowing Toga why am I attracted to him now? I would have thought that my feelings for Kai would come back, but apparently new feelings were getting to me and I didn't like it.

He was Toga of all people! The perverted, arrogant, trigger-happy, groping, reliable, sexy as hell…the image of him shirtless flashed through my head and I would have shot myself in the head to get it out. Okay, so he was good-looking and reliable but two out of six shouldn't have gotten me to think of him like this. There was no way I was going to let him treat me like the girls I'd seen him with in the past: one night stand then leave.

I could deal with this. If I could deal with killing level E's, I could deal with this. There was no way I was going to let him have me. No matter what. He was a fellow vampire hunter and that was it. Nothing else. I convinced myself I'd rather die than let him get to me, hoping it would work. But as I looked in the mirror I could see the lie in my eyes reflecting back at me...
