(Please forgive me,I hadn't realised how short it was,I will try to make the next one longer,it's more like a filler3)


I ended up laying on my bed for a little while,just thinking.

As to why,I,of all people,had to be cursed with such a punishment.

I mean,I'd endure being locked in a room with Raito if it meant I could go back to being normal.

Oh yeah,been there,done that,except for the last part.

I sighed as I clutched the pendant a little tighter to my chest,eventually bringing it to my chest,turning it over and over,the light from my window hitting the turqouise glass at pretty angles. I squinted when I realized the light revealed some intricate curling designs whenever the light hit it. I smiled faintly. I sighed before upturning my self properly and pulling the soft covers over myself,fatigue overwhelming me. I pulled the covers to cover half my face as I held onto the necklace,and shutting my eyes.

I groaned when I felt someone mutter from above my head. I absentmindedly snapped my hand upward,waving it dismissively as I mumbled for them to leave me alone as I clutched the pendant tighter. I heard the person mutter before saying if I didn't get up,they'd be forced to pick me up.

I scoffed mid slumber.

"Good lu-"

I felt two strong arms wrap around from behind me after shifting the covers. I squealed and thrusted my elbow behind me,hitting the assailants chest but they didn't even flinch.

"Put me down,I'm awake!",I yelled,fully awake,in my flail,the chain of the pendant had wrapped around my thumb and wrist and was now dangling from my hand.

The offender had stilled for a minute,obviously wary before setting me on the bed. I huffed and grumbled before turning around to see a serious looking Shuu with one hand in his pocket.

I coughed before raising an eyebrow.

"Any particular reason you woke me up for?",I squinted my eyes slightly as I looked up.

Shuu said nothing before he tilted his head to the side.

"You made quite some noise after I specifically told you to go stay in your room and not to break anything",I bit my lip at his tone. It was quite and steady but had a sharp edge of irritation.

I swallowed before smiling lightly.

"And I di-"

"Iye,you ended up letting your curiosity get the better of you and broke one of the locks to an obviously locked room and caused a ruckus with the rest of the people in the house"

I swallowed before narrowing my eyes.

"I don't think you realise how stuck I am in a house I barely know about!I have no phone,no way of contacting my mother or even the outside world and no,I will not give in to Ayato or Raito trying to constantly bite me",I panted a little before shooting a glare his way.

"If that's all,you may go back to your coffin or wherever you reside and I can sleep",I muttered before my hand reached the duvet,my other hand under the pillow with the chain.

I heard Shuu groan before he held my wrist,pulling me from the bed and causing me to face him.

"Unfortunately you can't go back to sleep,Ms Tetsuya,you have school",He narrowed his eyes and I did the same.

"I already-"

Oh yeah.

I grumbled before pulling my wrist from his grasp.

"Whatever"

He looked down at me before he turned around.

"Wear your uniform and get ready in 4 minutes,not a minute more,or else",he said the last word delicately before turning around,a smirk gracing his lips.

"You might be bitten",he said before leaving. I swallowed before running,flinging clothes from the closet and fighting with my clothes to find my uniform,wrangling the shirt over my head and pulling my skirt up,and nearly tripping over my own feet for putting on my shoes.

I swallowed when I realized this all took a whopping 3 minutes. I yelped before tripping and pulling on my other show,scrambling upwards to get my brush to brush through my hair.

Mascara or no Mascara. That is the question.

And no Mascara is the answer.

I looked at the pendant,swallowing before putting it under my pillow,rushing down the stairs.

I heard Raito tease me by making a ticking noise.

"I'm here,I'm here,I'mhere!",I yelled,skidding down the steps and swatting at the red head.

Shuu raised an eyebrow and I avoided the stare of Reiji as Shuu came over to me,his hands on either side of my neck., My breath hitched as he lowered his gaze to mine before I felt him fiddle with my collar. I blinked before he leaned down to murmur in my ear.

"What an odd way to wear your school shirt,Kayla",I blushed fervently as I realized how I wore my collar(people with school uniforms will know this XD)

He smirked before walking out and opening the door.

I gulped as Reiji walked past,looking me up and down before a smirk tugged on his lips appeared before brushing past me,except this smirk was the condensing one,the one you gave when you were planning something for someone.

Note to self:do not stay in a room alone with him if you value your life.

I walked out before bumping into someone.

"Ack!",I yelped.

"Would you-",I began to speak when I saw a flash of purple and the smiling face of Kanato.

Bite back your tongue Kayla.

"G-gomen",I mumbled.

"Be more careful,Kayla,but it would mean alot if you held my hand for half of the journey",the way he said it sounded more like an order,an -do it before something happens to you-,I swallowed and smiled nervously,taking his hand mine. His was surprisingly soft yet a little cold and I hummed silently as he tugged my hand along gently,one hand holding onto Teddy.

I saw Shuu raise his eyebrow from the corner of my eye. I hummed and looked away.

"Do you like school,Kayla?",Kanato asked softly,a sharp smile on his lips. I nodded slowly before shrugging lightly.

"It's alright",I said.

"But",I said loudly.

"I wOULD certainly lOVE a new Phone",I said loudly,coughing as I saw Subaru growl.

"What the hell is wrong with you?Keep your voice down!",he gritted his teeth.

"Keep your temper in control,bloodsucker,I hope you haven't forgotten about my precious phone",I began to put on a whiny tone of voice. "That phone that held my dearest memories,the apps I could play,that one challenge I had to compete,the con-"

"Alright!I'll buy you a new phone,brat",he muttered and my smile would have won an Oscar.

"Oh"he begrudgingly reached into his pocket,taking out a tiny black microchip like card.

My sim?

He turned around and dropped it in my hand.

"Keep it",he said,his crimson eyes narrowing a bit before he turned around. I raised my eyes.

He never striked me as sentimental. I shrugged.

"Thanks",I called softly,dropping the card into my skirt pocket. He said nothing as Kanato still held me hand. It was somewhat comforting,though he striked me as a bit odd,and I never uttered a word about his teddy bear.

Besides,chances are this kid is 17 or 16 or so.

I ignored the flashing glances of Shuu and the patronizing stare of Reiji. I sighed loudly and looked to my left,before coming face to face with Kanato,his eyebrows furrowed and a flash of hurt crossed his lavender eyes.

"Is something wrong,Kayla?I hope I'm not making you uncomfortable",he said softly,tilting his head a little.

I raised my eyebrows before realizing I sighed rather loudly.

"Ah,e-eh no,don't worry,I just can't...wait to start school is all",I mumbled as Shuu and Subaru scoffed.

I rolled my eyes before giving a small smile to Kanato,squeezing his hand lightly as we continued to walk.

Kanato's lips parted before he let go of my hand,a strange smile quickly adorning his lips before he looked at me with bright eyes.

"I really like you Kayla",he said,giving me a closed eye smile before hugging his teddy a little.

"Teddy likes you too"

I blinked before smiling.

I wouldn't mind being with him to be honest.

It's better than being with the patronizing duo,Ayato and Raito anyway.

"A-ah,I l-like you too Kanato,and Teddy too",I said quickly. I looked up to see that Shuu had halted before turning around,giving me a sugar coated smile, I narrowed my eyes,doing the same.

I majored in this,if we're being honest here.

His eyes darkened to a deep sapphire before I noticed the huge familiar building in front of him. I swallowed a little. It was summer,so it was still light even at half 8. I had to be early,mainly because I was new,and by the middle of next week I should have had atleast a quarter of my books. I gritted my teeth a bit and actually didn't mind if Kanato held my hand again.

As if on cue,the purple haired vampire turned around and gave me a light smile before he gently squeezed my hand.

"Teddy says you'll be fine",he said.

I swallowed a bit before giving him a light smile back.

"Arigatou"

"Kayla,up front",I heard Ayato call before I pulled my gaze away,walking up behind Ayato before looking up at him questioningly.

"You have to sign and check in before finding your class,hey did you bring your schedule?"

I furrowed my brows,reaching into my skirt pocket,I glared at Raito,who's eyes were lingering at my bottom half a bit too long. I shot him a glare and whacked him across the head.

"Ow!"

"Serves you right,perv",I heard Ayato snicker before I found the folded piece of paper. I unfurled it and scanned the paper.

"Science",I confirmed,after that I had Home Economics and History:Vampire Ed.I swallowed,thinking the worst.

"H-hey,I'm not gonna be in a room full of vampires for Vampire's Ed am I?",I looked up at Ayato and Shuu before Ayato broke out into a wicked grin.

"Yes,Kayla,I told you there was a very small minority here that are actually human",he said before turning around,waving a hand towards himself.

I swallowed thickly,following behind him before he went in through the open door,I followed after him before he stopped in front a small machine attached to the wall. He punched in my name and date of birth before a receipt like slip of paper came out,he turned around,handing it me.

"Don't lose this",he narrowed his eyes slightly before I held the paper,turning it around unimpressed. My details and a code was unprinted on it. I shrugged,putting it in my pocket.

Shuu stopped behind a door that said Class 32 A.

"Me and Raito are in this class with you,chances are you'll see all of us together in History class",I nodded indifferently.

"So,when's lunch?"

Shuu gave me an odd look as if I asked him what colour his underwear was.

He shook his head.

"There is none,not for humans atleast",I narrowed my eyes before he gave me a smile,opening the door as I shuddered,keeping a reasonable distance from him.

Raito laughed from beside Shuu,looking back at me,a glint in his jade green eyes.
