A/N: OMG! I HAVEN'T WRITTEN IN MONTHS! Well, maybe 1 and a half… *laugh* I've been on nonstop vacation for the past 4 weeks! I was going to do this yesterday but my family came over which I haven't seen in years! For the record, Tsuki spent a lot of time at Aidou's house, and when her parents died she lived with him (she was 14 at the time). So, anyway, this chapter is in Tsuki's P.O.V so yes, enjoy! :)
I pranced down the hallway going to Aidou's room. I was getting close until Zero (I smelled him) came up behind me.
"Tsuki, Neru's fainted." He panted.
"What!" I dashed back to the room. When I got to the door I kicked it open. Neru was on the floor sweating.
I pushed on her, "Neru… Neru wake up."
I heard her begin to breathe again. I sighed with relief.
In a few minutes her eyes began to open slowly.
She sat up quickly, "Ngh…" She turned towards me, "Tsuki, what-"
I hugged her, "You fainted." I let go of her and gave a brief slap to her arm, "Never do it again! You scared me!"
"Okay, okay… Hey," Our eyes locked, her face was serious, "You're a pureblood aren't you… That's why you can do things the others can't?"
My eyes got wide, "How did you-"
"-I overheard you and Aidou talking."
"So you heard… Oh my God! Neru! Is that what all this was about, the vomiting, the weakness, and the paranoia?"
"Yes."
"I'm so sorry! I didn't mean to cause this much trouble for you!"
Her eyes got teary, "So what's going to happen to me?"
I softened my gaze.
Later that day I took a walk outside, just to think. I pulled on my dress to make sure it was straight. I thought about what I had revealed to Neru earlier:
"So what's going to happen to me?"
I softened my gaze, "Neru, there's no easy way to say this, but um…"
I couldn't think of the words that filled the rest of that sentence. I dropped to my knees and started to cry again. Why? Why did she have to ask! Why now? Stupid Kaname…
"Tsuki, if she ever asks, tell her…"
"No! What if… What if that makes things worse for her!"
"Well then it's her own problem, we can't change what is suppose to happen."
"But you said she wouldn't get hurt! I didn't think it would result to this!"
"If you do your job right then maybe, just maybe, things won't be so bad."
I never wanted something like this to happen. I just… I don't know!
I quickly looked up. There was a slight rustling coming from behind some bushes.
"W-Who's there?"
An extremely corpse like human stepped out from behind it. No, he wasn't human… He was… A vampire.
"What a pretty girl, just my luck, I was starting to get hungry."
"S-Stay back!"
He came closer and began to sniff me, "O blood type, isn't that rare. Yet, the tastiest type…" He bared his fangs.
"No! NO!" I screamed.
He suddenly was shot back into a nearby tree.
"Stand back." A voice said.
"Aidou?" I blushed with both embarrassment and affection for the fact he'd come for me.
"You lowlife, putting your disgusting hands on my pureblood! "
My pureblood?
His eyes got a piercing red color, "I'll kill you…"
The other vampire laughed and charged forward, his nails grew long and sharp.
Aidou shot a cold glare at the vampire and his nails froze just like that. He snapped and both the ice and the vampire's nails broke into icy shards.
The vampire got a shocked look, but charged once more. He punched Aidou in the face.
"No!" I yelped.
Once I yelled this, the vampire exploded and turned into nothing more than red, sparkly powder.
Aidou came over to me and stuck his hand out to help me up, he wouldn't look at me, "Come on, we have to get back."
I took it , "Yea, um," I bowed, "Thank you."
He blushed slightly, "You don't have to thank me."
I kissed his cheek, "Yes I do! You saved me! I know I killed him in the end but that was entirely accidental! You did most of the work!"
When we began to walk, I let out a small squeal in pain.
He turned around, "What's wrong?"
"I think that vampire sprained my ankle…" I rubbed that area.
He sighed, "Get on my back."
"Oh, okay." I hopped on his back and I felt like I was 7 again and he would piggyback me around the yard.
He walked all the way back to the gate entering the Moon Dorms, "Don't get into anymore trouble… You could've been killed!"
That made me think of what I had said to Neru… I remembered:
"Neru… You're going to die…"
