CHAPTER FOUR
TAKE A BITE OUT OF THIS!(Normal POV)
The sun was setting, letting the once blue, clear skies turn orange,pink, soft purple, and soft sky blue as the white clouds spread across the sky as if someone as painted them in the sky with a delicate paint brush while the artist paint the stretching clouds with soft strokes.
On the middle of a brick path stood a figure, staring at the beautiful sky with his ocean-blue eyes. He let a soft chuckle escape his lips as his soft, blond locks swayed in the soft breeze. It was the most peaceful time of the day. The end of another chapter, he thought.
Faint footsteps could be heard from a distance. Ruka's eyes looked at the approaching figure in silence as a soft wind blew behind him, his hair swaying towards the figure as the wind carried summer-green leaves as the leave then circled around the figure as if they were happy to see the person.
Ruka's breath was caught in between his throat as he watched the most beautiful and the most peaceful scene in front of him. It was his partner, Mikan Sakura, with her soft, brown locks swaying in the wind with a warm emotion in her large, honesty-brown orbs. 'Beautiful...' he thought as he let a breath escape his lips.
Mikan stared at him for a few moments as she then took another step towards him. "Hm, Nogi-san, what are you doing here?" she asked him, blinking a few times as she forgot about what happened earlier in the cafeteria.
Ruka stood there as he tensed up by her scent entering his nostrils. "I'm...just enjoying the sunset. What about you, Sakura-san?" he asked her. "Hmm, I was just visiting Hotaru for a few moments, but she was too busy at the moment." she explained as she looked up at the sky. "It's lovely..." "You are-No wait I mean the sunset is lovely! The sunset!Yeah! The sunset!" Ruka reassured her, but it seemed like he was trying to reassure himself as he seem to relax a bit.
Mikan looked at him as she then thought 'Now or never!' she thought as she opened her mouth to begin speaking. "Nogi-san? "Yes?" "About Hyuuga-san..." 'No! Why does Natsume always get the girls?!?!' he thought bitterly. "Yes, what about him?" he asked in a bitter tone, but Mikan seem to not detect his tone. "...why is he so hostile at first when he sat by me, then he's acting all...weird..., and then he's just plain mad..." she said as Ruka let a sigh of relief escape his lips.
Mikan raised a brow at the sound of his sigh. His head snapped up as he held a panicked look for moment. "Well, he just changes moods quickly!" Ruka said a little too fast, but somehow Mikan caught what he was saying. "So he has mood swings?" she asked with a laugh escaping her lips as she smiled widely. The corners of Ruka' mouth twitched up as he saw her smile. It was breathtaking.
'Snap out of it, man!' he thought as he mentally slapped himself. "Well, it'll be a fun year with you two around, Nogi-san!" "Please, call me Ruka." he said with a dazzling smile that almost made Mikan's eyes pop out of her head. "O-okay, but can I call you Ruka-pyon?" Ruka held a thoughtful look as he then smiled.
"Sure. And may I call you Mikan-chan?" She smiled as she nodded. She looked at the large clock tower as she then sighed. "I need to do some extra credit homework...Since I apparently did something wrong in detention. Well, see you around, Ruka-pyon!" she exclaimed as she ran pass him, waving at him over her shoulder.
'Lovely...' he thought as he watched the most beautiful creature in the world run towards her dorm. 'Wait a second!' he thought as he slapped himself. "I shouldn't be falling in love with this girl...I shouldn't be falling in love at all!" he exclaimed with a surprised look, but then it slowly turned back into a calm expression. "It's been a long time..." he whispered.
"Long time what?" a voice asked behind him. He jumped slightly as he then turned his head to face the speaker. "Oh h-hi Natsume!" he greeted his best friend.
Natsume stood there with a raised brow as his hands were in his pockets. "You okay?" he asked his friend, who seem to be a little jumpy. "Yeah, I'm just find. I was just speaking with Mikan-chan." Ruka stated. "Who?" "The girl that shoved you at lunch." Ruka stated as he couldn't believe his friend could forget such a lovely creature!
"Oh, that idiot." Natsume said with a shrug as he walked ahead of his friend in a fast pace, but his friend caught up with ease. "What is she to you, Ruka?" Natsume asked him suddenly. Ruka was taken back a little as he then composed himself. "She's just a friend, why?" "Nothing, nothing at all." Natsume smirked. Ruka sighed as he walked next to his best friend.
The once orange, purple, and soft pink skies were now replaced with the night's midnight-blue sky. The air was still and calm as Ruka's and Natsume's faint footsteps filled the air. "Tomorrow we need to hunt." Natsume stated quietly as Ruka nodded in agreement. It has been so long since both of them were near humans.
(Mikan's POV)
I sat there on the floor of my room as I let my head rest on the soft blue pillow in front of me. It had silver trimmings with silver snowflake patterns on the pillow. I sighed as thought of the events that happened today. Hyuuga-san was in my dreams...But that was before I met him in reality.
"Ugh...My head hurts..." I groaned as I laid down on the floor, hugging my pillow like a stuff animal. Something was strange about Ruka-pyon and Hyuuga-san, but it's hard to put my finger on it. Both of them are extremely beautiful, graceful, and yet to mysterious. 'Ugh! Now I sound like a lovesick fool!!' I thought as I buried my head into the softness of my pillow.
'But it's quite true...' a voice said in my head. They seem to float when they walk and still graceful in some way. "Maybe I'm just imagining things..." I whispered. Suddenly I felt my heart stop when I heard a soft hiss. I turn around to see a pair of dark, bloody eyes staring at me from my ceiling. I let out a loud scream escape my lips as I saw the figure jump down from the ceiling with it's ivory fangs ready to sink into my skin.
(Normal POV)
Everything seem to stop around Ruka and Natsume as they heard the blood-curling scream filling the air. It would take a few minutes for the others to discover where the scream came from. "Ruka." Natsume said as he looked at his friend, who only nodded in return.
"Let's go." he said as a pair of sharp, ivory fangs appeared in his mouth while his ocean blue eyes were now golden and cat-like. Natsume nodded as his fangs grew in while his crimson orbs were now bloody red with onyx specks and were also cat-like.
They both ran towards the sound of the scream as the world around them seem to stop in time as their figures were like a blur. 'Damn it...' Natsume thought as the scent of Ruka's partner and another scent that seem to be fimilar.
The two stopped in front of Mikan's door as Ruka placed his right hand on it, accidentally shattering the door into millions of small wood pieces. There in front of them was a girl around their age with long, wavy ebony hair that stopped below her waist, skin that was so pale that it seems o be gray, and bloody red eyes as she had no pupil at all.
Mikan was beneath the girl (NOT THAT THAT WAY FOR YOU DIRTY-MINDED PEOPLE!!) as the girl's hand were on her throat as the girl's nails dug into her skin as if they were claws. She tried to breath, but the girl's grip on her neck tightened each time. A low growl could be heard from Natsume as he saw the girl's fangs near Mikan's wrist.
He lunged forward, pushing g the girl off of her as they both skidded across her room. Mikan gasped for air as she scrambled on her feet, but stumbled as she closed her eyes to wait for the impact of hitting the floor, but to only feel a pair of strong arms around her.
Her eyes snapped open as she then looked up at one of her saviors. It was Ruka, looking down at her. "You okay?" he asked in a strain voice as Mikan's head was pounding, her breathing was uneven as her vision was becoming blurry. She could hear several hisses, growl, shattering noises, and scratches around her.
(Natsume's POV)
There I stood next to Ruka, looking at the other one in the room. I let out a growl as I lunged towards the other girl, who had a tight grip on the idiot's neck, cutting of her breathing. Both of us skidded across the floor, both of us hissing as we glared at each other.
I grabbed her throat as my nails dug into her pale, gray skin. Her non-pupil crimson eyes looked up at me as both of her hands were around my hand that held her throat. Her grip instantly tightened as I let out a growl as she then threw me against a wall.
"Damn it..." I muttered under my breath as the girl lunged towards me, her fangs bare. I grabbed a chair and swung at her as the was flung towards a large window, shattering it as she fell out of the room. I walked towards the broken window, looking down at the ground, but nothing was there.
I slammed my fist into the nearest wall, making a large dent as I gritted my teeth. "Damn it, Elizabeth..." I growled. Ruka looked up at me as he held his partner in his arms. His golden eyes looking at me. He dropped the idiot as she landed on the ground with a loud thud as he lunged towards me.
"WHAT THE HELL, RUKA?!?" I yelled, but then I understood. His hand was holding Elizabeth's face that was only a few inches away from my neck.
(Ruka's POV)
I held Elizabeth's face in my hands as she tried to sink her fangs into Natsume's skin. I knew that her bite wouldn't do anything to my friend, but how does that explain to the teachers in this school about that large wound on his neck?
'Oh, one of our old vampire enemies took a bite out of one of Natsume! That's all!' Hell yeah, that's a good thing to say!
She hissed as I tried to crush her skull in my hand, but it didn't work. She jumped back as she stood on the edge of the window, her feet touching the shattered glass as if they were feathers.
She smirked at us both. "I will get that little human." she whispered as she leaned back, falling into the night's darkness. I could hear Natsume growl as Elizabeth disappeared from our sight. "Why is she here?!?!" Natsume asked as his bloody red eyes were filled with sudden anger.
"I don't know..." I whispered, but that's when I suddenly realized something. "MIKAN!" I yelled as I turned around and ran towards her fallen figure. There she laid on the floor, her honey-brown eyes were hidden behind her eye-lids.
"Great job, Ruka." Natsume said behind me as I heard sarcasm dripping from his tone. "Well, Elizabeth was going to take a bite out of you!" I exclaimed as I picked up Mikan in my arms.
(Normal POV)
Natsume watched his friend carry Mikan as silence covered the whole area. That's when Ruka and Natsume's noses wrinkle at the scent of sweet and something delicious. Ruka looked down at Mikan only to realized that her neck was bleeding from the nail marks. He looked up again to see his best friend stiffen at the scent of her blood. "Natsume..."
(Mikan's POV)
My eyes were closed as my head was pounding. All I heard was the voices of Ruka-pyon and Hyuuga-san. I felt warm liquid trickling down my neck as it felt sticky as well.
"Natsume..." I heard Ruka-pyon said his best friend's name.
Thanks for reading! And Ruka appeared more in this because I don't want him to be left out in the little cat-fight! In the next chapter I will type what happened in detention between Mikan,Natsume, and Jin-Jin! R&R!
