Sorry for updating this really late!! I'm really sorry!!

For people who forgot what happened, (due to my lateness in updating) and don't feel like going back ad re-reading chapters, Natsume's father has entered now.

MiniRe-cap:"Natsume."

A deep, masculine voice broke their laughter.

Natsume crimson eyes widened, and they filled with immense hatred.

"Father…"

And thus the famous vampire hunter enters.

Hell on Earth.

Onwards, what will come out of this early visit of Natsume's father?!

Shock was immediately replaced by narrowed eyes, filled with imaginable hate.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Natsume spat out in disgust.

"I'm here to teach…about vampires." His father replied.

"You're early, old man."

"Oh? I figured this matter couldn't wait any longer."

Natsume eyed Mikan for a moment, worried.

Damn, bad moment to be here right now.

"Oh? And who's this? Your girlfriend?" Natsume's father smirked.

Mikan smirked back, and took a step forwards, past Natsume, and reached out her hand.

"My name is Mikan Sakura. I presume you're Katsuro Hyuuga-san, the famous Vampire Hunter? I'm so glad you've come to teach us early! Vampires are so scary, I was almost attacked by one on the rooftop of the department store once!!" She said, her voice carrying nothing of a lie, innocence.

"I'm glad you understand that vampires are dangerous creatures, young lady," Katsuro said gruffly. "Unlike my idiot son. He can never burn anything into that damn mind of his."

Natsume saw the brunette's eyes narrow for a split second, as if she was angered by what he said.

Natsume's eyes were still narrow and filled with hatred, but he was confused.

His father could tell of the presence of any vampire. Yet, somehow, Mikan was fooling him. Very well. Or was it all an act and they would attack at any sign of weakness?

"Well, please, come this way, I think your lessons is first, right? It'd be terrible to be late on your first day," Mikan coaxed, as she led the Vampire Hunter to the school. "Ah, excuse me. I forgot something in my dorm room…I would like to get it very quickly. Please go ahead without me. The entrance is right there, and you turn a left to Classroom B. It's very easy to spot."

Natsume's father took her instructions as Mikan faked her journey to the dorm room for her lost item.

"I know what you're thinking," the brunette said, coming back with a notebook that she hid under a bush near where they stood.

"Hotaru and I planned ahead. We erased our vampire presence, and we are pure-bloods, so even your father should not be able to recognize us as vampires for a while. Now all we have to do is lie and act like suck-ups. We altered the memory of people who know we are vampires, for instance, Permy. Sumire. She still knows she's a vampire hunter, but for now, she doesn't know we're vampires."

Mikan grimaced. "Whatever Hotaru and I say in the presence of your father, we don't mean. It's all a lie. Tell that to Ruka, unless Hotaru already told him so he won't be confused. By the way, wear something around your neck. To…cover my bite mark."

Natsume nodded as she jerked her head towards the school.

"Let's go."

"One of the most important things is that you must know, vampires and humans cannot co-exist."

Was the first line of vampire class.

"They feed off the blood of us human beings, sometimes turning us into one of their own disgusting kind."

Mikan could have walked right up to he vampire teacher and punched him. Stupid bastard, jeez, yeah, sure, some vampires did feed off of human blood, but that's how they were created. Plus, it's not like the human died, although they did become very tried or weak for a bit.

She raised her hand.

"Hyuuga-sensei, why do vampires hunt humans?"

"Because they are bloodthirsty creatures." Was his reply.

"How do you hunt them?" she asked again.

"Our Alices harm vampires. We are born like that. There are also weapons that vampires cannot touch. Normally, when you attack, you should try to go for the heart, the head, or any vital parts of the body."

"…Oh."

"What's a pure-blood vampire, Hyuuga-sensei?" Someone else asked.

"They are those who had been pure bred. Both the mother and father are natural vampires, thus giving birth to a pure vampire child. They have the ability to turn us regular humans into a vampire, while no other vampire, except a pureblood, can do so. Disgusting creatures, purebloods."

Mikan chocked back an angry protest.

The bell rang, signaling the end of the period.

"Ah, Sakura Mikan," Katsuro said, as he placed a silver gun on her desk.

"…Um, what is this?" She said.

Since when does a teacher give a student a gun?

"It's a tool for hunting vampires. I feel as if some will come after you very soon, and it'd be best to keep yourself safe. You are a good student."

"Ah, thank you! My family had made me take many odd lessons for many things, and shooting was one of them," Mikan said with face innocence and cheerfulness. She held the gun and stuffed it into her bag.

"Even if you did not know how to shoot, Vampires shouldn't be able to touch that gun," he replied.

"Um, does this affect humans?" Mikan said, with fake nervousness.

"Yes…so please aim carefully if you practice with it. Though it is more effective on vampires."

The brunette nodded.

"Alright. Thank you so much for your concern! I'll take care of this!!"

Mikan skipped out of the classroom and made an eye contact with Natsume, Hotaru and Ruka outside the door, out of site of the famous Vampire Hunter.

"He gave me a gun." She said bluntly. "Who the hell gives their student a gun?"

"He could be trying to figure out if you're a vampire," Ruka suggested.

Mikan brought out the gun and held it firmly. Nothing happened.

"Sure, if I shot myself, I could get seriously hurt. But just by holding this, nothing's happening." She hissed. She turned to Natsume. "Is your father just so immensely dense and stupid, or is he trying to figure something out?"

His crimson eyes held no expression. He raised an eyebrow.

"I avoid my old man as much as possible. How am I supposed to know?"

Because you're his son, she almost said, but she bit her tongue and prevented herself from saying. Natsume was on bad terms with his father. She didn't want to provoke any further.

As they walked, something from the back of Natsume's mind flashed into the front.

Seek the girl with red wings.

…who can never be freed from her own insanity…

That's right. A girl with red wings.

He glanced at Mikan, and then shoved it back into the back of his mind.

"Hmm…"

One eye open, one eye closed.

She aimed carefully at a tree…

And pulled the trigger.

Bam! Craaaaack...

"Nice…it split the tree in half perfectly," Ruka complimented, as Hotaru nodded in approval.

The brunette blew the tip of the gun.

"Yeah…it's not bad. Hotaru, do you wanna modify it? Make it more powerful."

She could see the other vampire's eyes brighten a little.

"If I have to." was the emotionless reply.

Mikan tossed the gun to Hotaru and giggled at she walked away.

Natsume, who was leaning against the wall of the school, raised an eyebrow.

"Hotaru-chan loves to modify things. She often does more than she needs to, but in the end, the invention is something incredible."

Natsume sighed and also started to walk.

Nighttime.

And the weather was perfect. A nice time for a vampire to take a walk…or trip through the air.

Mikan gripped the fence on the rooftop of Alice Gakuen, closing her eyes.

Her red wings were spread out behind her.

This was one of the rare times she was without Hotaru.

She touched her fangs and grimaced as the sharpness pricked her finger.

Her blood ran down her finger, and she stared at it.

The wound quickly healed, as a result of being a vampire.

She sighed, and flew back to her own room, smiling as the breeze caressed her hair.

"Oi!"

She heard Natsume's voice from below.

"You idiot! My old man stays up really late at night! He might see you!"

Mikan smiled and landed next to him, her wings disappearing.

"It'll be fine…at least, until he notices. So I guess I should take caution…" She put a finger to her chin, thinking.

"So anyway, what are you doing outside this late?"

"Taking a walk…what else?" Natsume replied, rolling his eyes.

Mikan stayed silent.

The wind blew gently, the vampire's hair flowing out behind her. She closed her eyes, enjoying the feel of the wind on her face. They both ssaid nothing for a while, and no other sounds were heard, besides a few crickets chirping.

"…Natsume?" she said suddenly.

"What?"

"…do you…want to be a vampire?"

The fire-caster stared at the brunette. The question swirled around in his head.

Did he want to be a vampire…? Not really…he'd have to live off of blood. But then again he could be with her.

With her…

Natsume opened his mouth to answer.

Mikan smiled and put her finger to his lips.

"…You shouldn't answer so quickly…" she whispered. "Don't become a vampire for stupid reasons."

She spread her wings again and soared back to her room.

Natsume stared at the night sky, scattered with stars.

Don't become a vampire for stupid reasons.

Was becoming a vampire for her a stupid reason…?

"Sakura-san," Katsuro said to Mikan the next day.

"Yes?" she responded sweetly.

"…You should watch your back."

The vampire hunter walked away without another word, leaving the girl confused.

Does he mean watch my back for vampires? Or watch my back for him…because he knows…?

She sighed.

Natsume was right. I should have been more careful.

She massages her temples.

Ugh…

Her head felt fuzzy, and everything…seemed to swirl…

What…the hell…?

At that point, Hotaru, Ruka and Natsume were walking to classes, also, just in time to see Mikan fall backwards.

"MIKAN!!"

She landed safely in the arms of Natsume Hyuuga, but she seemed flushed.

The raven-haired boy placed his hand over her head, and pulled it back.

She was burning up…and this was not a normal fever.

"Imai…she's burning up…" Natsume told the other vampire. "More than an normal fever…"

"Oh, God…" Hotaru sighed. "Why must Mikan's pureblood family have so many blood problems?"

"Blood problems…?" Ruka asked.

"Bring her back to her room. Nogi, tell sensei that we'll be absent. I'll tell you Mikan's history..."

X.X

Sorry…I'm kind of running out of ideas on how to continue this fanfic. D:

Sorry for the short chapter and the late update...

I'm trying my best to keep it going, so sorry if it's not written well or seems forced or something.

I'm trying to end it soon, though…

So…yeah…
