Chapter 7:

What Ikuto feared came faster than he expected, and it hadn't been more than a month since the fall of one of the headquarters of the hunters.

Early morning, the earth trembles. The students disturbed by the sudden tremors panicked. Ikuto who have been staying in the infirmary felt something abnormal about the earthquake. He stopped what he is doing, rushed towards the room where Amu is. He found her with Nagihiko hiding under the table.

'Ikuto?' Amu is startled to see Ikuto walk in the room to grab her arm.

Ikuto drags Amu out of the room; carries her off to safety.

Running on the hallway, Ikuto meets Tadase; the tremors getting lighter.

'You!' Tadase glares at Ikuto, eyes filled with hatred.

Ikuto sensing the enemy approaching fast, he threw Amu into Tadase's arms. 'Get out of here!' He jumps out of the window.

Amu stunned at what Ikuto did froze. This is second floor, she thought. She worries herself of Ikuto who easily jumped out. She freed herself from Tadase, ran towards the window where Ikuto jumped and searched for her vampire knight. She saw him facing another vampire.

'What the –' Tadase looked. He draws out his weapon which he hid on his back.

'Baka!' Ikuto shouts. 'Take her away from here! These guys will endanger everyone!'

Amu screams as Ikuto suddenly got attacked, pushed against the wall by the creature. 'Ikuto!' She didn't know what to do; she panicked at the thought that Ikuto might be killed. She pleads to Tadase to help Ikuto.

Tadase looks at Amu then to Ikuto fighting against another vampire.

'Please Tadase-senpai!' Amu pleads.

Tadase, reluctantly jumps out the window that Ikuto came out off to help the vampire that fights to protect Amu. 'Don't think that I am fighting for your sake.'

Ikuto smirks glancing at the young blond. 'I won't.'

Ikuto and Tadase fought side to side to fend of the aggressor.

It wasn't easy for the two but they managed to kill off the aggressor thanks to the other hunters coming to rescue.

'Ikuto!' Amu rushed towards Ikuto's side. 'Are you alright?' She knelt beside him sitting on the ground covered in wounds and blood.

'I'm fine.' Ikuto pat Amu's head. 'These will heal soon.'

Amu looked in pain as if she is the one who got injured.

'Thank goodness we reached on time.' Yaya said with a sigh of relieve. She got accompanied by a man with a beard in his prime.

'You guys shouldn't have faced that creature alone.' The man uttered. He glances at Ikuto on the ground. 'Are you a full fledge vampire?'

Ikuto eyed the man. 'Yeah… What of it?'

'That guy you fought is of a lower class.' The man informed. 'You are a pure blood so you should have been stronger, or are you not feeding yourself well?'

Amu got worried thinking that it might have been her fault that Ikuto got injured. 'It might be my –'

Ikuto covered Amu's mouth stopping her from continuing. 'I honor my word that I will not feed off humans not unless allowed to; unlike some hunters who do recklessly attacking vampires who are doing nothing.'

'So you remember…' the man smiles. 'Well I have changed since then. I am a child after all. To make you believe I will tell you my name that you can use if you need help – Tsurugi Ren.'

Ikuto stares at Ren evaluating the man head to toe – tan skin, a buff body with few scars on his arms, light brown hair, in his prime.

'Are vampires not allowed to suck blood without consent?' Amu asked looking at Tsurugi.

'No…' Ren answered. He glances at Ikuto staying silent. 'Did he bite you? Though I doubt you'd recall unless we test you.'

'He... He didn't bite.' Amu stutters lowering her head. She couldn't tell that Ikuto have bitten her. She has fallen for the dark haired vampire and no longer imagines life without him.
