Night 1

Two Vampires and a Girl

"SEIGAKU FIGHT!!" First years cheered on their sempai.

It was the usual day in Seishun Academy of the Tennis Club as they were training with all their might to get into the up-coming tournament. Regulars are to wear the Seigaku's Tennis blue and white uniform. Of course there are also many girls—fan girls who were watching the boys' tennis club practice as there were screaming and cheering out their boy interest.

"Kyah! Look at Ryoma-sama so wonderful!" screamed a first year girl with two ponytails as she watches one of Seigaku's regular.

The other girl stares at her friend with slight interest as she stares at one certain guy who wears a white cap and an aloof look. He is Echizen Ryoma is one the amazing tennis player and the youngest in the bunch. Though he has fan girls cheering for him, it seems he had no other interests but tennis. The twin braided girl just sighs again as she saw her pigtail haired girl continues to screaming, really loud, for Ryoma.

"Umm… I think you had your time enough, Tomo-chan." She stated. "Also you'll get a sore throat doing that everyday."

Osakada Tomoka turn her attention away from her ideal prince to the twin braided girl with a surprising look. "I really don't get you why you're not interest in Ryoma-sama, Saku-chan." She pouted. "I mean you get to talk to him."

"Yeah but…" added the girl named Ryuuzaki Sakuno yet there was another scream from the other group of girls.

Tomoka and Sakuno turn their attention to another group of fan girls screaming really louder than the two pigtails haired girl. Then their attention diverted to another tennis regular who is older, a third year senior, with light brown hair and has his eyes close while he plays against Ryoma. Unlike the youngest regular, he smiles regularly enough to make the girls melt their hearts.

"As usual there are more fan girls for Fuji-sempai." The petite girl whispered as she watches both famous regulars practicing very seriously.

"Not only can you talk to Ryoma-sama but also Seigaku's sadist tensai, Fuji Syusuuke." Tomoka informed. "Honestly, girl, how come you're not affected with those two hot guys?"

"Actually they're…" Sakuno thought trail until she takes a glance the watch on her wrist and gasps. "I'm sorry, Tomo-chan! I need to get home early!" she said as she speeds away while she says goodbye.

Tomoka stares weirdly at the petite girl then sighs. Sometimes she can't get to know the whole mystery of her friend as if there was an invisible wall around her. Well it's not like her to snoop around Sakuno.

Sakuno entered a mansion with two story house. It seems really old yet for somehow it gives an eerie to others as if there is a ghost over there. She entered there as she carries few baggages with her then she puts on an apron over her. Then she heads her way to the kitchen getting ready for dinner there she was greeted by a Himalayan cat as it meows happily when it sees her. She pets its head gently then stroke under its chin and she starts preparing the food. While she's working, she didn't realize there was someone was watching her while standing within few distance behind her.

"You're making Curry aren't you, Sakuno?" a guy commented.

Sakuno realizes the voice as she was about to face that person to greet him. Then she suddenly trips by the time she turns around. Worst, she is about to hit the floor with the cooking knife in her right hand. Before she is about to land, the guy saved her just in a nick of time. The petite girl looks at her savior who is no other than Fuji Syusuuke. He is still wearing the blue and white jacket of his Tennis uniform yet he manages to smile at her handsomely.

"Fuji-sempai…" she mumbles shyly while looking at his blue orbs. "Thank you."

The lad stares at her surprising while he helps her to regain her composure. "Sakuno, how many times do I have to tell you? In here you have to call me 'Syusuuke'." Fuji pointed.

"Still…" Sakuno argued but then she wince a pain.

Fuji notices her reaction quickly as he kneel down to check what pain her until he spotted the injury of her finger in her left hand. It has a slight opening in her palm yet it was bleeding really deep. Seeing the sight, his eyes were open once more only this time his pupils goes really thin like a cat. Sakuno recognizes the look of his gaze. As she plans to avoid the possibility happening, the tensai's face is already near to her wound feeling his heavy breathing. As Fuji is nearly reaching there, someone manages to stop him. Sakuno turn her attention to the third person who is wearing a FILA white cap.

"Ryoma-kun…" she whispers under her breathe

"Honestly, Fuji-sempai. Didn't we agree we'd only take her blood when it's necessary?" Ryoma pointed out. "Don't tell me you're getting impatient now."

"Sorry. I can't help with my instincts." He apologized.

The aloof kid snorted as he drinks a glass of water. "Well you're not the only Vampire in the house." He added as the pupil of his golden eyes turn the same way as Fuji.

Actually Echizen Ryoma and Fuji Syusuuke are vampires but unlike any vampires they are neither afraid of the sun nor the crosses. So they get to act, eat and do things like normal humans. No one knew this secret except Sakuno, herself. But that's not the only secret they're keeping, in fact these three live under the same roof.

"Ano… Ryoma-kun…" Sakuno stuttered shyly as she eyes on his cat-like eyes.

The young vampire looks at the shy girl and gave an evil-like smirk. "You should be more careful not injuring yourself or one of us might get a chance to drink your blood." Ryoma advises her.

The petite girl blushes yet she hid it as she averts her attention away from the two vampires. "I know that well. Excuse me while I tend my wound." She said.

Ryoma and Fuji could only nod their heads as the twin braided girl exits herself and head her way to the nearby bathroom where she could get the first aid kit. As Sakuno locks the door, she covers her face with her unwounded hand. She looks up at the mirror as she sees her face is red.

"Again I'm blushing… whenever those two teases me it's been always like this." She muttered.

While Sakuno is tending her wounds, Ryoma and Fuji were just at the living room that was located next to the dinning room. The young vampire was busily stroking the cat, named Karupin, while he reads a very thick book as the smiling tensai also reads a novel of a famous writer.

"Say Fuji-sempai." Ryoma calls Fuji's attention. "How long has she's been living with us?"

The tensai looks up at the young vampire who is still looking at Karupin then he thought for a seconds. "Five years if I'm not mistake." He replied. "Something bothers you, Ryoma?"

"Hmp. You already know it." He added. "It's that incident."

Fuji's smile was quickly replaced to a serious look as his eyes were open. Karupin immediately moves away from Ryoma who is now looking at the older vampire. They stare at each other's eyes as if they're trying to read each other's mind until Fuji was the first to break the silence. "Exactly what is your mind, E-chi-zen?" he demanded.

The young vampire sighs softly as he averts his eyes away from the tensai. "Did you find the murderer's action really strange? His actions aren't like normal human behavior." he pointed out.

"I agree still we have not found clues related to that case." Added the Tensai vampire sadly as he shuts the book he's reading.

Ryoma, who had his attention back to Fuji, nodded his head in agreement. "You think he might show up?" he questioned.

"That we don't know." The Tensai vampire shrugged his shoulders while leaning his back to the couch with his eyes close once more. "But it may be possible."

Another silence fallen on them again as both vampires were in a deep thought about their conversation. Before anyone of them could say another word, Sakuno announces the food was prepared. It seems their serious conversation will have to wait more.

The next day was usual as Sakuno thought. She would usually be the first to get to school before Ryoma and Fuji came. So far no one had really know of their secret since both vampires had put a very strong magic that would not notice their true location from normal humans plus it can hold on for very long. For now the humans could only see that they're living in a different direction. This was also put a spell by the Tensai vampire. As she arrives to school entry, she suddenly trips over something which causes her to fall.

"You should be more careful of your steps more often, Ryuuzaki." Someone commented.

"Tezuka-sempai?" she stiffened as she faces directly to the stoic face guy.

The petite girl knew the older teen very well especially to the girls since that guy was the Tennis captain Tezuka Kunimitsu. He is a very strict captain and he'd make everyone do the running in a higher number of laps. Of course, he is also popular to the girls yet for somehow he is like Ryoma as a Tennis regular player and studies were important to him first.

"Sorry, Tezuka-sempai." She quickly apologized as she bows respectably to the senior.

The stoic faced captain just stares at her as if he was observing her. Then he turns away from her heading to the other side of the building. Sakuno sighs in relief. She was really scared whenever she faces him every time she happens to feel a very strange aura as if there's a vibe of a hunter within him. The petite girl just shakes her head roughly as she goes in the building.

Unknown to the world, there is a strange being is descending on the school's rooftop. Its presence was completely ignored by ordinary humans.

In the tennis ground as the regulars and tennis members were busily doing their usual routine, Ryoma is having a match with a second year named Momoshirou Takeshi. These two were having a serious match just as the youngest regular is about to hit the ball. An unlikely aura was picking up which made him to miss the shot.

"Oi what happened just now that was unlike you, Echizen." Momo yelled at him as he took notices of the junior's action earlier.

"Sorry I was a little distracted…" Ryoma replied, "Thinking of my cat, Karupin."

The mischievous senior stares at Ryoma as he finds the excuse really strange. Then he smirked mischievously as he swung his arm around him. "You're thinking of that girl are you?" he said.

"Who?" the young vampire questioned as he shoots his sempai a very fierce glare yet Momo manages to avoid his gaze from the youngster. "Don't deny it kiddo! I'm talking about Ryuuzaki Sakuno! I mean she's the only one who talks to her. I could tell love has sparks within you! Ah young love! Young love!" he quoted.

The young vampire continues glaring at his senior as he continually quoted about 'young love'. For somehow, he never get to understand why he get stuck with Momo in the first place. It was a strange mystery even though he could not figure it by himself. But when the mischievous senior mention about Sakuno, he imagines her with an innocent smile which causes him to blush as he quickly uses his cap to hide it.

"Stupid Momo-sempai." He thought irritated.

"Here, Saku-chan." Tomoka gave a small book to Sakuno who looks really happy when she receives it. "Why are you into these things anyway? I mean vampires, fairies, and such things don't exist. They're just gibberish imaginations." She stated.

"They aren't Tomo-chan! They're actually REAL!" she argued angrily.

The two pigtail haired girl stared strangely again at Sakuno who looks a little pissed off when it comes to criticism of myths. That's one of the petite girl's mysteries she loves suspense and strange stories as she could see how the twin braided girl is reading so focus on the book.

"Tell me why you only like those stuffs not romances?" she asked her out of the blue which her friend stops reading after she reached the 4th page of the first chapter. "Well that's because--" she trailed off.

Actually she had read more books about mythical and legendary creatures that Ryoma and Fuji had in the house ever since she was little. Not only she read them, the vampires also taught her the warnings and the avoidance if she meets some deadly and dangerous creatures. Because of that, she becomes a booklover of myth creatures and such. She can't say that to her friend too, she thought.

"They're more interesting." She smiled innocently, which cause Tomoka so sighs at her easy-going. "You're hard to understand." She pouted as she looks to the other direction.

Away from the two oddly friends, a pair of red eyes were watching at them somewhere hiding its presence perfectly that no other humans could see it. It was staring at one person that caught its smell as it notices she stands up from her seat and heads out. Seeing her off, it immediately went off its position and starting to follow her.

Sakuno walks down the hallway as she is searching one certain room. While she is still searching, unknown to her there is something following her behind secretly. The petite girl enters a gym storage room that was located at the first floor near to the tennis practice ground. As she enters it, there was a sudden bang as it shuts the door heavy. Now she's really scared until she hears a growl of an angry lion. She slowly turn her attention as she sees a strange creature that has the head of a lion, a body of a bear, its tail is like a lizard and lastly it has pair of white wings like a bird. But what caught her attention, this creature has a black collar like a dog.

"A chimera!?" Sakuno gasped as she recognized the creature.

The oddly creature hissed at the scared stiff girl looking hungrily as if it has not eaten decent food for weeks. She knew that creature is only interest with highly scented of normal beings. Fear is coming within her as she could tell the creature's thinking. She plans to flee as fast as she could but then the chimera has already blocked her only escape which entraps her. This is really bad, she thought. She could not call for help despite the kind of situation she's facing. Also, she isn't good at fighting at all, which is really bad.

Before, she could even think of a plan, the chimera had attacked her quickly than she ever imagine. She manages to dodge its attack but then its sharp claws manage to reach its aim at her left leg which made her trip down. It really hurt as the pain really stings stronger than the cut she received the small cut in her finger last night. More importantly, she needs to escape hurriedly however the creature was already standing next to her readily to devour her.

As the hungrily chimera could take another step further, it suddenly receives a strong kick which causes the creature to move away from the helpless girl. As it was already away from Sakuno, the savior arrives and he knelt down before her.

"Fuji-sempai…" she whispers weakly as she stares her savior.

"You're not hurt anywhere, Sakuno-chan?" Fuji asked her.

Sakuno could not say a word as she is trying to avert her eyes away from him since his face is closer to hers as if he's about to kiss her then again she falls unconscious. Fuji was bewildered at her sudden action then he notices a large cut on her left leg. It was bleeding deeply as it drips from her skin making a small pool. The sight made him really angry as he takes off his black blazer which only left him his white polo shirt.

"Bastard… I'll teach you a lesson you'll regret for your life." The Tensai vampire threatened the chimera while he opened his eyes.

The pupil in his blue orbs eyes changed into a pair of cat-like eyes then his fingernails suddenly grows really sharp as it became like animals' claws. Not only that his teeth are beginning to shows his vampire fangs. He stands there while glaring at the chimera then begins to attack it merciless using his claws-like-fingers as his only weapon. The strangely creature was unable to strike back as Fuji's speed is faster than it. It wanted to retreat however, the Tensai vampire didn't let it as he used his right hand to thrust through the chimera's chest. Then he takes his hand out of the body as it slowly dissolves into ashes.

Fuji shakes her body a little but she wasn't moving at all. This made him really worry as he places his right ear over her chest. As he tries to listen, he was startled at his discovery as he quickly hears her breathing as he finds out it was abnormal speed.

"It looks like its claw has poison in it." Fuji cursed as he bangs his hand to the floor.

The Tensai vampire is having difficult time what he must do now. He is about to call Ryoma for back up emergency but then when he saw her suffering and painful look of her face, it made him more painful just looking at her. He despise that expression especially when it comes to Sakuno's innocent.

"Sorry but there aren't any choice I have." He whispered.

Fuji hastily positions himself to her wounded left leg. Before he could proceed, he looks at the sleeping girl as she's shivering in pain and cold at the same time. Then he places his lips to the wound and sucks it. Seconds later, Sakuno was sleeping peacefully like child as if there was no poison spreads within her blood veins, which the Tensai vampire was relief yet the pain was the only one hasn't left. He takes out a mini first aid kit in his pocket to tend her wound as he wraps a new bandage. Knowing time has already passes by he needs to bring her home so she could rest peacefully. He carries the petite girl in bridal style and walks out of the gym storage. As he walks his way heading to Sakuno's classroom, one teacher who happens to exit the room the Fuji is heading spotted them immediately.

"What on earth happened to Ryuuzaki-san, Fuji!?" the teacher exclaimed as he notices the sleeping young girl with a newly wrapped bandage around her left leg.

"I happened to pass by around the corner. I entered the room over there and found Sakuno lying down bleeding. I assume she must have hit her head during her fall and scratch herself. So far I've clean her wounds yet she's still in a deep slumber." The Tensai replied. "Now excuse me… I'm going to bring her home along with her things… can I ask for her address if I may?"

The teacher is about to refuse but when he looks at Fuji's gaze there was a strong feeling that he should say 'yes'. In the end, he let the tensai to get home early as he gave him the address. The smiling sadist just smile as he receives a piece of paper indicating a map to Sakuno's house. Of course, this is just a pretending that he doesn't know the way to her house. Then he excuses himself as he quickly took her bag and went his way.

"What a way to make a story, sempai." A familiar voice calls within the tensai's head.

"You heard it with that super hearing did you?" Fuji tried to call him using telepathy.

"Ch! Even you can too. You sure know how to make things up. So what really happened?" Ryoma's voice rings in the smiling sadist's head.

"A chimera attacked Sakuno-chan. It's a good thing I excused myself during class when I sensed an oddly Chi." The older vampire replied then notices the small silence from the youngest regular as if he was shock. "Funny a chimera usually appears master less. Unlike this creature I met has a collar like a dog."

"You must be kidding." Ryoma commented. "I know chimeras aren't the type to be taken in like pets or servants."

"My thought, exactly." He agreed as he tightly grips the sleeping girl just ensuring she won't fall while he was walking and mentally talking at the same time. "Say can you come home early so we could investigate?"

"Hm." The young vampire replied quickly. "I'll find a better excuse to skip practice for now."

As their telepathy conversation quickly ended, Fuji arrive their house safely. He carried the sleeping girl all the way until he finally reaches her room. He laid her small body on the stop of her bed and sits on a nearby chair next to her. Indeed he is quite tired after all he just used his true powers through all these years of hiding. It was unexpected there would be a wild monster out there when he had thought they were eliminated centuries ago. He sighs tiredly then he looks at Sakuno who is still in a deep slumber.

"I'm sorry. If only I arrive early, you would not suffer the pain." He whispered sadly while stroking her bangs on her forehead.

"Syusuuke-kun." Sakuno calls out his name in her sleep.

Hearing her words made him surprise as he stopped stroking her hair while his blue orbs were show still has his gaze to Sakuno who is still in her slumber. A small smirk forms in his lips as he stands up from his seat then he kisses on her forehead. Later on, he exits himself of the young girl's room. He shuts the door silently as his eyes open revealing differently as a tender love has melted his heart.

"You're just too cute to resist, Sakuno-chan." Fuji thought.

Within few distances away from Fuji who still standing in front of the petite girl's room, Ryoma happens arrive earlier than to be expected and he is leaning his back against the wall. He still remains calm yet it seems his cool looks he always wear was replaced to jealously.

"You're still mada mada da ne, Fuji-sempai." Ryoma whispered.

Night 2: As The Moonlight Glimmers

"Who are you?" Ryoma glared at the stranger.

The stranger just smirks at the young vampire while he tightens his grips on his hostage. Sakuno wince at the pain she's receiving, Fuji and Ryoma want to take action but then they couldn't as they notice a strong magic force surrounding them. It seems the stranger had plan out carefully so they could not take action. The Tensai vampire felt oddly familiar to that stranger yet it's at the tip of his tongue. The mysterious hooded guy takes notice of the tensai's expression as his smirk grows larger than ever.

"Fuji Syusuuke… Have you already forgotten this voice?" questioned the stranger.
