Author's Note: This chapter shows both Sayoko's and Hisoka's Point of View of what happened after the last chapter. Sayoko's POV is written by my friend(Kaitopokl here on ) with a few edits by me. Hisoka's is by me(which will be added later) ^.^ So that why Sayoko's POV may seem like a different writing style than mine, because it is(I assume Sayoko's POV to be better than Hisoka's).

Secret Heart

Chapter Four

"The Melancoly of a Monster's Bane"

Sayoko's POV

"I wonder what kind of Youkai Hisoka is...?" I wondered out loud, sitting in my room. Everyone probably knows I'm a vampire, its kinda obvious.

I felt so stupid talking to myself. Though its so odd; I've never met another Youkai that smells so...good?

Not a specific fragrance or anything....no flowers or perfume...but, food? No, that would mean he's a human. Which is impossible....isn't? They can't get in here. Its impossible to cross the border if you're not a Youkai.

Might as well go see him and find out what he is, I guess.

I stood up and fixed my eyeliner, ignoring my slightly messy hair, left my room, and headed towards the vending machines so get some Tomato Juice.

Hisoka was sitting on a bench. Innocently drinking juice already. I already had a plan in my head to have an excuse to sit next to him. I called it operation "Get juice and sit by Hisoka-kun."

"Yipee!" I did a fan-girl squeal. Surprisingly no one heard me.

I was about to walk the 10 meters over to get some "tomato-ey" goodness when suddenly, Hisoka exploded!

"What the hell?!" I hid behind the corner, Out of nowhere, it looked like everyone was fighting. I watched as Hisoka-kun was taking hit after hit, 'Why doesn't he transform?' I bit my lip.

Lots of energy started coming from Tsukune, Vampire energy. "He has vampire blood." I whispered, knowing I would have to be the one to step in. Stupid Moka-san.

I unleashed my wings, it'd been so long, I had almost forgotten the dark, onyx gleam of them, and how to fly. I mentally cursed the school's rule for 'no-transforming-even-to-stretch-your-wings rule as I launched myself into the air, barely. I flew in and hit Tsukune as he tried to hit Hisoka while he was down. My powerful kick sent him flying back a few meters.

I landed in front of Hisoka-kun, who was already wounded.

"And what exactly do I owe the honour of your appearance?" He asked

"You were hurt...." I responded.

"Nothing worth your time, especially not worth interfering with my work."

".....Work?"

What kind of work could he possibly be talking about, I wondered.

"Nothing you need worry about, now just get out of here, I can handle."

"...You're hurt, you need medical attention."

"I'm fine, I can handle whatever that person was."

He was being stubborn, but I wasn't about to let him kill himself.

"That person is vampire, much like me, though its faint, there's still vampire blood in him.'

"You sure seem knowledgeable, but I'm fine, I'd prefer if you leave. Now."

He got up to walk towards Tsukune. His wounds suddenly ripped open, the smell of his blood filled my nose, it was like human's blood.

"Shit!" I covered my mouth and nose, I could already feel my eyes from violet to scarlet. I looked back to him, out cold. "Double shit..." I scooped him up in my arms, turning towards the school and ran. I brought him to the nurse's office. I had never known how long I could hold my breath until now. A pretty damn long time. I'm glad too, Hisoka would have been toast if I wasn't awesome.

"He should be fine by tomorrow." The nurse reassured me for the thousandth time.

"I'm staying until I can be sure for myself." I stared hopefully at Hisoka's face. He seemed more at ease sleeping then when he's usually at school.

As if on cue, his eyes flickered open.

"What...happened?" He asked me, since I was the only one in the room.

I bit my lip. "Why didn't you tell me you were human?" I asked in a whisper. I always wondered what feeling betrayed felt like. Awful.

He hesitated, here was awkward silence. " We're in a school full of monsters, you can't expect me to openly express that I'm a human."

"I guess...." I said sadly. I tried to help the situation.

"Maybe you should think twice about bleeding." I laughed quietly/

"Heh, right." He laughed nervously.

"I almost lost control," A hot tear fell down my face. "Almost killed you."

He looked at me curiously, "What do you mean?" So many answers to that same question. Which to pick?

"Maybe you shouldn't have a vampire as a friend." I said darkly. His eyes widened. 'Let him absorb the shock.' I signed.

" Somehow," he started, " I'm okay with that." He smiled.

I studied his face, he seemed sincere, yet I still didn't believe him.

"I doubt that."

"Well, for whatever reason, I'm not scared." he reassured.

"It doesn't matter. You deserve human friends, at a normal school." More tears. "You shouldn't be here."

" Are you....crying?" He tried to get off the bed for a minute, then stood up and walked toward me.

"Get away from me, I might lose control again."

Regardless of what I said, and his own health, he put his arms around me as if to comfort. I tensed, waiting to smell his blood again, but he must have stopped bleeding.

"What exactly happens when you 'lose control'?" he asked, still hugging me.

"My eyes turn red, and I lose most of my self control." I answered quietly.

A moment of silence.

"That's no worse than the snow girl and succubus."

Who? Oh, he must mean Mizore-onee-chan and Kurumu-san. "Please call people by their names, you don't call me 'vampire girl'."

He thought for a minute. "That's right, I guess." he answered," and their names are?"

"Um..Mizore-onee-chan, snow girl, Moka-san, another vampire, Tsukune, I'm not quite sure, Yukari-chan, the little witch, and Kurumu-san, the succubus." I smiled, something I'm not exactly used to.

"Hmm, I'll try to remember, I suppose." he signed as he let go of me. 'Finally'.

"So you're seriously cool with the whole vampire thing?" I waved my hand over my face.

" I am." he answered quietly. Awkward silence.

"Just so you know... please don't bleed in front of me again!" I teased.

He laughed, " Only if you promise not to go psycho!"

I stuck my tongue out. "Nyah!".

We both laughed. Then stared at each other for a minute. I never knew his eyes matched his hair, a pretty ocean blue. As I stared deep into them, a really weird feeling just....overcame me, like a magnet. I felt my cheeks heat up and leaned forward until my lips met his.

After a few seconds I leaned away and I smiled warmly. " See you later." I said as I waled towards my dorm.

The perfect end to a perfect day.

Hisoka's POV

Damn...my head...my chest...jeez this hurts...Wait, I'm not dead, am I? Heh, if I am, I deserve it. Ah well, with these kinds of missions, it was bound to happen.

A light started to shine and I woke up.

"What....happened?" I inquired.

" Why didn't you tell me you were human?" Sayoko whispered in response.

Shit! How!? No..the how isn't important, I need to either turn this around or keep her from talking, I can still save this mission yet..

I waited a moment before speaking.

"We're in a school full of monsters, you can't expect me to openly express that I'm a human."

Logic, I can still reason.

"I guess...." She said sadly.

"Heh, right..." Gah, this isn't working, I need to explain to her.

"I almost lost control," She started to cry. "Almost killed you."

"What do you mean?"

"Maybe you shouldn't have a vampire as a friend." She said depressed. Obviously, monsters are dangerous, but that doesn't mean that they're evil. Besides, my mission comes first.

" Somehow," I started, " I'm okay with that." I smiled at her. Must comfort her, if she becomes unstable, then she might tell.

"I doubt that."

"Well, for whatever reason, I'm not scared." I reassured.

"It doesn't matter. You deserve human friends, at a normal school." More tears. "You shouldn't be here."

" Are you....crying?" I need to gain control!

I got up despite the intense pain, and walked over to her.

"Get away from me, I might lose control again."

Control! What can I do? It was instantaneous, I grasped her in my arms.

"What exactly happens when you 'lose control'?" I asked, holding her tightly.

"My eyes turn red, and I lose most of my self control." she answered quietly.

A moment of silence.

"That's no worse than the snow girl and succubus." Those damned pests..

"Please call people by their names, you don't call me 'vampire girl'."

I thought for a minute. I can change the subject!

"That's right, I guess." I answered," and their names are?"

"Um..Mizore-oni-chan, snow girl, Moka-san, another vampire, Tsukune, I'm not quite sure, Yukari-chan, the little witch, and Kurumu-san, the succubus." She smiled.

"Hmm, I'll try to remember, I suppose." Crap, I'm still holding on to her. I quickly released my grasp.

"So you're seriously cool with the whole vampire thing?"

" I am." I answered quietly. Awkward silence.

"Just so you know... please don't bleed in front of me again!" She said jokingly.

I laughed, " Only if you promise not to go psycho!"

She stuck her tongue out. "Nyah!".

We both laughed. Then stared at each other for a minute. I was truly happy to she her OK, but I came too close with my mission. Though I guess trusting her with my secret for a while is alright.

" See you later." She said exiting the room.

Ah...how troublesome, I guess I'll get some rest......so bothersome....
