Forewarning: This chapter is kind of long, so if you want to skip all the middle stuff about Winter explaining to Haruhi all the basics of Vampire Society, then go ahead and scroll to the bottom. :)

Haruhi clutched her belongings to her chest tightly while looking down the long hall. It was the first day back since spring break. In the host club room, she could see Winter sitting on a couch by himself. He held a glass in his hand that was filled with a red liquid.

"It must be blood," she thought.

She still couldn't believe it. It took her nearly all week to gather her strength back up. Her father constantly asked her what was wrong and even suggested taking her to a doctor, which she refused. She was still learning all her new scenes, like her heightened sense of hearing, smell, and eyesight. Even being able to look through the doors of the host club was freaking her out. She felt a slight vibration in her back pocket and pulled out her phone to see a new text.

If you can see me, I can see you. Get in here.

Oh, that's right... he could see through walls too. She had no choice now. She slid her phone back into her pocket and slowly made her way towards the room. She pushed open the door, her eyes meeting with his. She said nothing as she came to sit with him on the couch. He had promised to talk to her about the basics of being a vampire and that his father, Kaname, would speak with her more. There was a brief silence before Winter finally spoke.

"What all have you figured out?" Winter asked, peering at her from the corner of his eyes. It freaked Haruhi out; the way he always looked from the corner of his eye.

"Well... I've figured out that I can see through walls, that I can smell things from blocks away, and that I can hear the children outside my apartment building playing," Haruhi said. She didn't know really anything about what was going on. This was all a new world to her. Winter sighed and leaned back in his chair.

"There are a few basics I want you to understand. I will just make it quick since school starts in a few minutes. Then you can talk to my father about the details," Winter said. He looked at Haruhi for confirmation that she understood, and she nodded her head. He continued with his basics.

"Vampire Society is a secret kept away from human society. Vampire Society is the official name of the association my parents are head of. In other words, my parents rule over most of the vampires in the world. Most of the vampires you meet are under my parents orders. They are not the only heads of Vampire Society, but since my father took down the Vampire Senate many years ago, he is the main leader. Do you understand so far?" Winterhawk asked.

Haruhi was so shocked she nearly dropped everything in her arms onto the floor. She had no clue that Winter came from such a family. How was it possible? That meant that Winter was a important person in this world, and Kaname was probably the most important person in the world. How could this seemingly average foreign boy possibly be such a person? This sparked a question.

"I understand, but why would the son of such a important man be going to school like this? Besides, even I have figured that vampires love the night, how are you going to a normal school?" Haruhi asked. Winter grinned slightly and internally chuckled. It was quite a question, one that Winter struggled with.

"My parents have been trying to introduce human society to vampire society for a very long time, since before you and I were born... since before my eldest brother and sister were born. Me and my younger sister, Aisu, the girl you met at my family's dinner, are one of the first vampires to attend a normal school. My cousin that I stayed with over spring break also goes to a normal school. There isn't a lot of us because, as you said, it's a pain to wake up at six in the morning when your a vampire," Winter explained. It was all a part of Yuki and Kaname's plan, and that was the only reason Winter was going to a regular school. Otherwise, Winter would have chosen to continued being home schooled.

"How many brothers and sister do you have?" Haruhi asked, simply out of curiosity despite that it was off topic.

"Three. My eldest brother and sister are twins and Aisu is a 2nd year middle school student," Winter said. Haruhi nodded, allowing Winter to continue with what he had to say. Winter waited a moment to continue.

"There are a few different types of vampires that I should tell you about. There are three main 'categories', if you may. There is your type, the type that were once humans. They are called Level D's or Level E's, depending on how bad their situation is. You would be a Level D. These vampires are put at the bottom, but my family has and is changing things so that Level D's are made a bigger priority, so that we can help them. Once someone becomes a Level E, all hope is lost," Winter said. Immediately Haruhi jumped in. She didn't like what Winter had to say.

"Why? What happens when I become a Level E?" Haruhi asked, drops of sweat starting to develop on her face.

"I'll get to that in a moment," Winter said. Haruhi nodded her head in understanding.

"Then there are nobles and aristocrats. This is a majority of vampires. They are strong vampires who have good bloodlines. They are quite amazing to a normal human, but they are really indifferent in vampire society. Above all are Purebloods. These are the most powerful vampires around, the one with the most power and the most capabilities. All other vampires have a instinctual fear and respect of Purebloods. It sounds quite crazy, I know, but Purebloods are kind of big deal," Winter said. He paused to see if Haruhi was following him. He watched her. He could tell she was a bit confused and scared. He wished he could ease her fears, but there wasn't much he could do. Haruhi watched him too, internally begging him to continue. She wanted to know everything, so what was he hiding? Winter took a deep breath.

"Purebloods are the only vampires with the ability to bite humans and turn them into vampires. Any vampire can bite humans, but only Purebloods turn them into vampires. Dai is a Pureblood my family has had some trouble with in the past and we have been keeping a close eye on him. We thought he was doing better, but we learned that after biting you, he fled, leaving his family behind. We are looking for him, so you will get justice," Winter said. He wanted to work his way to telling Haruhi the somewhat bad news. He took baby steps, watching Haruhi's reaction to every thing he said, hoping she would not react badly. His parents warned him that sometimes Level D's react violently to such bad news.

"Unless you drink Dai's blood, you will turn into a Level E. A Level E is a vampire that has lost any sense of dignity, pride, or strength. To put it in simple terms, Level E's are the type of vampires that you see in the movies. The ones that are monsters and try to kill as many people as they can just to have something to eat. Once a vampire becomes a Level E, they are put on the Vampire Hunter's Society's kill list. Vampire Hunters are around to kill Level E's and to persecute Purebloods who turn humans into vampires. However, since the two societies have had problems in the past, the vampire hunters and vampires are kept separate. Don't worry, it takes a long time to become a Level E, plus there are two societies that are going after Dai. I don't believe you'll turn into one, so don't freak out, okay?" Winter said.

Winter carefully took Haruhi's feelings into consideration. He didn't want Haruhi to react horribly to such news. He watched as Haruhi's face was filled with shock. He watched carefully as tears filled the rims of her eyes and slowly rolled down her cheeks as her breathing became quicker. He pulled a few tissue out of his pocket and handed them to her. She took them and dabbed her damp skin with them, feeling her tears soak the tissues.

"There is a whole society of people out there dedicated to killing people like me?" Haruhi asked, nearly sobbing. Not sobbing, but nearly. Winter shook his head.

"No. You are not a Level E. That is a long way away. If you stay strong, you may be able to go as long as a decade without ever having to deal with the Vampire Hunter's Society," Winter reassured. Haruhi's heart skipped a beat and she nearly jumped onto Winter when she heard that.

"How do I stay strong?" Haruhi asked in a nearly begging tone, her tears replaced with anxiety. Winter saw a crazy look in her eyes. His parents warned him against such a thing. What he was going to do would be going against his parents wishes, something he hardly did, but he couldn't resist helping the only decent human he had met.

"You need to keep drinking blood. The higher the vampires, the stronger you will get. For example, blood tablets will help you daily, but you may find you occasionally need something stronger, like an actual vampires blood. You could try drinking a Purebloods blood. That will make you feel better," Winter said. Haruhi sighed and looked more depressed. Why? He had given her a option to survive, why was she sad? Then it hit him... he hadn't told her yet.

"How do I even find a Pureblood who would want to help me?" Haruhi asked, obviously talking to herself as she looked at the ground. With that, Winter could tell that her vampire traits were still in the making. She wasn't able to tell who she was sitting next to. He softly placed his hand on hers for only a second, catching her attention.

"I thought you would have figured it out by now," he said. Haruhi looked at him with a mix of confusion and fear. He grinned.

"My family is a Pureblood family. My mother and father are one of the most powerful Purebloods. That's why they are such a big deal," Winter said. Maybe then she would get the hint. Haruhi's eyes widened and again looked at the floor. Winter could literally see her thoughts. She was so predictable to him. She finally looked up at him after a few moments.

"Are there a lot of Purebloods? Is it easy for Purebloods to find other Purebloods to mate with?" Haruhi asked. Winter nearly laughed at the way she said 'mate'. To Winter, it was just having sex, not 'mating', although most humans refer to sex among other creatures as mating, so he wasn't too surprised. He held his composure.

"No. There are only a few. Most Purebloods marry and have children with their siblings. That's what my parents did, and it's what my older brother and sister did. It's a way to keep the Pureblood line... pure," Winter explained. Haruhi leaned back into her seat, looking almost grossed out by what he said. Winter knew what she was thinking.

"Don't judge us. You wouldn't understand," Winter said. Haruhi looked at him with pure shock. How did he know... she shook it off. He must have been guessing. Anyone would thing that incest is weird, so he must have known she would think it was strange.

"I wasn't... I just... what are you trying to say?" Haruhi asked, almost shy, like a little girl. He could sense her frustration. Winter glanced at the clock. They only had ten minutes until the first bells rang, which meant they had twenty minutes to get to their classrooms. That was more than enough time. He turned back to her.

"Do you want me to get straight to the point?" he asked. Haruhi nodded, again, almost shy. Haruhi sensed a sudden shift in Winter, from helpful and hopeful to direct and serious. She was beginning to understand what he said about fear and respect.

In one swift motion, and grabbed her by the back of the neck and gently pulled her to him. She was lifted out of her seat on the couch to his, almost sitting on his lap. He mouth was lingering in front of his neck. What... was he doing?

"Drink. Don't tell anyone. Just drink," he commanded her. Haruhi was right, there was a huge shift in how he was treating her. He felt so much more... stiff, yet protective. She couldn't describe it. She pulled back, not wanting to bite into him, not wanting to make the situation harder than it already was, but his hand, still on her neck, refused to let her move.

"Don't fight it. Just drink it. You need it," he said. Haruhi felt more tears stream down her face as she fought out of his hold. She squirmed a bit, but then she... smelt something. She smelt... him. His scent... was now overwhelming her. When she looked at his neck now, she could see every little vain, every little drop of blood coursing through him. She fought once more, but ultimately, she lunged forward.

Her fangs bit down with a crunch on his neck.

I know this chapter is kind of long, sorry about that. Also, I know that this story so far has mostly included Winter and Haruhi, and I am sorry about that, but I promise that next chapter will involve the Host Club even more, so stay turned Ouran lovers!

Also, some reviews would make me feel good... I mean... this is the sixth chapter and I don't have any reviews. :(
