Wow, it's been forever since I posted a chappy for this story too... I'M SORRY!

Hrmm, de der... What to write, what to write... (Just a note, I make all my stories up as I go along...)

Yuuri and Wolfram returned to the others and quickly found Conrad and Gwendal. Conrad was glad to see his god son safe and sound, and even though Gwendal had on his 'angry' look, he was also happy. Before they left, Yuuri saw the hunters stacking the dead bodies of the vampires in preparation to burn them. Yuuri shivered some, then Wolfram blocked his view of them and said, "Just ignore it for now."

"But..." Yuuri quietly protested.

"Yuuri." Wolfram said sternly.

Yuuri slumped his shoulders in defeat and mounted his horse. Wolfram nodded and mounted his horse also. They started riding their horses behind Gwendal and Conrad and Wolfram stayed to Yuuri'sright to keep a constant block between hos eyes, and the massacre. Yuuri bit the inside of his cheek as he felt guilty about him being the only one spared when the other vampires just wanted sanctuary.

The entire ride back to the castle with the vampire hunters as escorts was too quiet for comfort. But no one dared to brake the silence, it was like a silent mourning for the vampire-turned humans that had just died; It seemed wrong to try and brake the silence.

When they arrived at the castle, it was noon and Yuuri had to calm Gunter since he was in his, 'I'm-so-relieved-the-king-is-safe' mode. Yuuri then found Greta and she asked him to read her a story. Yuuri agreed and went to the library with her to find a book. Wolfram was following Yuuri where ever he went because if he showed the slightest sign of wanting to bite someone, Wolfram would be able to quickly intervene.

It was soon dinner time and Yuuri walked with Greta and Wolfram as the group made their way towards the dining room. When they entered, everyone was quiet and Greta, Wolfram, and Yuuri quickly and silently took their seats. Yuuri looked down at the plate of food the servants has prepared for him and quickly realized something, he was going to have to fake eating. Vampires couldn't eat, if they did, it was like a ticking time bomb. They would end up... upchucking it an hour later. That's why his mom always made him curry, she wanted him to enjoy it while he could.

Yuuri sighed, then said, "Itadakimasu." He then picked up a fork and stabbed a piece of chicken. He needed to appear as human as possible. He put the piece of chicken in his mouth and it tasted disgusting to him. It tasted like a mix between chewing on mud and sand. He did his best to keep a straight face through out the entire meal and finished with the 'normal' amount of food he would usually leave on his plate. Just a few veggies and some pieces of chicken that he couldn't finish. He then excused himself and went to his room and Wolfram followed.

"Are you okay?" Wolfram asked.

"No." Yuuri said as he went over to the bed and laid down on it on his side.

"What's wrong?" Wolfram asked, concerned.

"I feel nauseas from eating. Vampires can't eat human food." Yuuri stated.

"Oh, wait, if they can't eat it, what's going to happen?" Wolfram asked, concern clear in his voice.

"I'll just barf it up later." Yuuri said.

One hour later, and Yuuri was in the bathroom upchucking his dinner into the latrine. Yuuri had thought it would just be food he was going to upchuck, but he was wrong. His body needed something to get the smaller pieces of food out of his system, so it was using his blood. When Yuuri waas done emptying the contents of his stomache, he flushed the toilet and washed his face in the sink. When he looked in the mirror, he was surprised that he had blood red eyes. He quickly used the back of his right hand to wipe them, but when he looked again, they were still red.

"Damn it, I can't 'feed' again. Wolfram's already gave me plenty of blood." Yuuri muttered to himself. He then closed his eyes and took a deep breath and held it. When he opened his eyes again, they were black. He smiled when he realized he was able to will away his 'hunger'. Yuuri then left the bathroom and went back into his room where Wolfram was waiting, already dressed in his pink night gown.

Wolfram looked at him as soon as he entered and raised an eyebrow. "Are you thirsty again?" Wolfram asked.

Yuuri was shocked that Wolfram knew this and he blurted out, "How could you tell?"

"Your eyes are red." Wolfram stated. Yuuri slapped himself in the face and Wolfram just sighed and shook his head side to side.

"Here." Wolfram said as he pulled some of his hair away from his neck. Yuuri stared at him in shock and said, "Wolf! I couldn't, I already took too much from you!"

"Then how are you going to explain your red eyes?" Wolfram asked as he raised an eyebrow.

Yuuri thought for a second, then said, "Colored contacts would work."

Wolfram rolled his eyes and said, "Whatever." He then laid down on his side on the bed and left his neck wide open for Yuuri. Yuuri's eye twitched and he thought to himself, Doesn't he understand the consequences of losing too much blood?... Yuuri turned away and went over to a window and opened it, then he looked outside. It was a cloudless night and the moon was almost full, but not quite. Maybe the next night it would be full.

At the base of the wall, underneath Yuuri's window, was Mingan and Arvolf. Arvolf was pacing impatiently and Mingan was watching him with tired eyes. Mingan yawned, then curled up into a ball and fell asleep. Arvolf growled in frustration. He looked up at Yuuri angrily, then continued pacing. Mingan glared at him from his spot since he awoke from Arvolf's growling. The two wolves didn't like each other a whole lot, but they respected each other's wishes.
