Chapter 2

Hunt shiki he said. She thought that to herself as though there was nothing

else to think about, as though nothing in the world mattered more than those words.

So not Y-Natsuno, I don't have to hate Natsuno she cried to herself - "Man, I went and said something

stupidly embarrassing" Natsuno said. Megumi looked shocked at what Natsuno had said, Kaori couldn't

help but notice the look of anger and shock on Megumi's face. Megumi silently said raising her voice in

a breaking screeching voice "It's Kaori's fault" her voice got louder with as she said "It's Kaori's fault that

Yuuki won't come to me side!". Natsuno shifted a bit to make sure Kaori there were no blind spots Megumi

could attack Kaori in. Kaori looked over Natsuno' s shoulder to see what had happened for the minute Megumi yelled she closed her eyes and hid herself a bit. Kaori grabbed onto Natsuno's arm

tightly, Natsuno blushed a bit making Megumi even angrier. Kaori grabbed onto Natsuno hard not realizing

that was the reason why Megumi was getting angrier, scared of Megumi she looked up at Natsuno to see him

red up to his ears. Kaori said in a confused shocked voice "what's wrong Natsuno!" Natsuno turned to face Kaori in a quick motion startling

her as he said, "I-Idiot don't y-you grab my arm and don't even realize it!" Kaori froze for a minute realizing that she really did do that and

turned completely red. "S-sorry Y-y-YUKKI-KUN!" she said as loud as she could. Megumi she at them with eyes of despair as

though someone was killing her inside out, "i-i-it's not fair..." Natsuno and Kaori both turned to look at her. Megumi continued

"I -I love Yuuki way more than Kaori, I want to go to the city with Yuuki, I want Yuuki to be on our side! W-We should run away

together Yuuki just us two you're lying when you say you want to hunt shiki down Yuuki, you don't hate me or the other shiki Right Yuuki!"

Kaori and Natsuno just stood there as Megumi said angrier than before "what if Kaori turned into a shiki..? You'd hate her right? You'd kill her

and not care right!" Natsuno looked at her a bit and silently said it raising into a loud "I-I wouldn't...".

Startled at this Megumi started saying "But we both have the sam-", he interrupted her "- Your right we both

want to go to the city, not rot in this shut off village" Kaori flinched thinking for a bit and

she thought about it Natsuno is from the city Megumi loves them being together would not come as a shock, Megumi dresses in cute girly clothes nice shoes and always has that city girl ponytail hairstyle

unlike me. "So Natsuno we're the same we should be together right?" "No" Natsuno sounded angry this time "you

and I are nothing alike, I found out recently me and Kaori are the same". Kaori blushed, Megumi was red with anger.

Natsuno keep going "you and I want to go to the city but it's not the same I want to go to the place I was born and

raised just like Kaori who loves the simple country more than anyone here". He grabbed Kaori's hand making Kaori unintentionally

blush even more than before. Kaori thought for a bit thinking of that drama she once saw on TV of the love triangle in the city,

while think of she got lost in her thoughts. Thoughts she kept saying in her head realizing how much she hasn't calm down

when Akira was her even though mom and dad were gone I can think. She pushed Natsuno away thinking, losing her head

remembering everything. Through she was happy she realized she kept her composure even though Akira her annoying

little brother wasn't there, even though Megumi her dead childhood friend is there, the girl who only said "serves you right".

She let her thoughts become uncontrollable and as she did that Megumi and, Natsuno thought. Natsuno thinking that meant he had been rejected even though

that was the first girl he ever liked, the first country girl who he felt he could trust and wouldn't let become a monster like him. "I-" Kaori started

"I can't-" thinking of the rejection yet to come Megumi put on this look of happiness and then shock after all her

Yuuki-kun who she wanted to be with since he got there was in love with her and she had the nerve to reject him.

Megumi with this twisted face start "Y-" Kaori interrupted probably blocking out everything at this point

she started again "I CAN'T BE WITH YOU BECAUSE STRANGE THINGS ARE HAPPENING NATSUNO!"

Natsuno looked at her a bit and said "strange things?" with a puzzled expression for even though he had

an idea he had no idea whether it was right. Kaori looked at him making him flinch a bit for she had the same

funny way she did the first time they met directly. Natsuno couldn't help but decide to ask her was those

'strange things were' and the answer she came up with was "my heart won't stop beating when I'm close to you now, it

also feels somewhat how, I feel like forgetting who I am because even though Akira isn't here with me anymore

once I thought of how you were by my side I felt the same composure of everything would be all right~ " making

Natsuno burst out laughing. Megumi of course felt forgotten for this was her Yuuki no one but hers and she wasn't going to let anyone take him.

Suddenly the atmosphere changed for its light-heartily to seriousness Natsuno looked at Kaori;

he then took a deep breath and covered her eyes, dazzling Kaori to try to take his hand off. As "... go" said Natsuno as a quick blur went by turning out to be a gunshot.

Megumi screamed from the pain shocking Kaori. Just that instant Kaori heard Natsuno's hesitant voice "would you like me to kill Shimizu?"

The words came in shock to Kaori no she thought to herself remembering Natsuno hitting the man who had almost bitten her.

She thought about it for a bit Megumi who wanted to go to the city, Megumi who wanted to become some sort of

pop star instead of being a country girl, instead of playing with others she would do her make-up and walk around.

"No, please" Kaori cried there in front of Natsuno, in front of Megumi, her tears flowed. After all even though Megumi never liked her Kaori looked up to her as a cool older kid.

Natsuno gave a kind smile at the crying Kaori blushed, put his hand on her head and pat it as though he was testing her.

Natsuno then thought of the big problem no how to get rid of Shimizu the monster girl stalker who doesn't notice the city boy doesn't like girly girls like her.

Natsuno took a breath as though to calm down or more like not crack a smile and looked at Shimizu who's wound had already healed for the gun only grazed her shoulder.

Megumi looked back not thinking anything but of the fact that Natsuno was looking at her, he said "Shimizu your father was bitten"

it seemed as though his breathing techniques were for naught because he could keep from smiling.

Natsuno continued "just like you made Kaori's father turn on his family I will your father turn on you.

" Kaori looked at Natsuno not the human Yuuki nor the shiki Natsuno just Natsuno she couldn't help but think of what was different about those two

and realized what was different wasn't that Natsuno lost his family, it wasn't that he loved her,

it wasn't that he turned into a shiki the difference between the Natsuno then and the one she's looking

at right now is that this Natsuno tasted death and cheated the grim reaper. For winning against the

grim reaper he got a prize he didn't need and the freedom to show the gods of light just how powerful he is now compared to the others.

"An eye for an eye huh Shimizu?"-
