Author Note's: Sorry for the lateness of this chapter sense I was playing Final Fantasy XII and Shin Megami Tensei Persona 3 FES. Both Miyu and Alyssa weren't tending being in the story. Also I am planning to edit the first six chapters so it going be a long while before the next chapter is up.

Disclaimer: The characters from Mai-Hime don't belong to me they belong to Bandai and Sunrise so I don't claim ownership.

Aoi's POV

When I was on the rooftop of the school building staring at the stars reminding me of my former life as a human before turning into a vampire over five centuries ago. Chie is the first person I felt in love with, I have thought this for while me being immortal and Chie is human going to age before die of old age. I want spend more time with Chie after I done with destroying Reito and saving innocent lives in the process.

I sense Chie walking behind me without looking. "Chie you're feeling like to talk?" The wind blowing through my hair, I close my eyes smelling her familiar sense. I want to hold her and telling everything is alright but isn't alright I nearly lost my life once and Reito threaten to defile Chie and making her his personal slave.

"Aoi, me and Tate discuss a few plans need to stop the president from conquering Fuka. First we need gather some potential allies to stop him, second find a way to warn the student population about the looming danger they're in, and finally somehow I use my gossip network to persuade the female students from leaving their dorms,"

One thing I was worry about Nao since she leaves from our room every night for unknown reason. The nagging feeling I am getting that is she in danger and Nao never notice until it too late.

"Aoi now what you think?" Chie was interrupting my personal thoughts. I'm weighting in my options to thinks how I going beat him and his powers are overwhelming without getting Tate-kun hurt and protecting Chie from harm proving difficult for me.

"Chie I like you include Tate in your plans warning everybody of Reito's intentions but I kindly putting this…it kind idiotic and nobody going believe you without thinking you lost your marbles," Honestly it was harsh but we've to formula a reasonable plan to counter his powers and influence over the girls, I didn't tell Chie me meeting up one of the vampire hunters I fought earlier and agree on an alliance of sort. I still don't believe a mere human making me blush and knowing my relationship with Chie.

"Aoi I understand your position on this, we have been brainstorming for a decent plan all day cutting us some slack,"

Chie can be cute sometime even she act like a boy most time that main reason that I'm in love with her. Anyway probably a good idea having Tate updating the revised plans…

Couple of days afterward me and Chie hanging together as usual without drawing attention to ourselves especially my statistic as creature of the night, then I spot Sayuri, Yayoi, and Miya sitting next to Mai and Mikoto having lunch.

"We could hang out with them and simultaneous watching out for their safety."

"Well Miss Protector of cute and innocent girls I see you trying making me jealous," My eyes roll with that remark.

"Chie stop playing around and get serious we make should that they're safe and Mai is the main target of Reito's ambitions. Besides I have talk to Sayuri and Yayoi for sake of normalcy," I grab Chie's right arm and walk toward them.

"Aoi my arm hurt and I forget you have strength of ten men so be careful please,"

"Hello Sayuri, Yayoi! We haven't talked since they enforce a curfew after several disappearances," I put my cheerful persona so they don't know my true self.

"Chie-chan, Aoi-chan you two seems never around when I want a friend talk to," We took couple seats next them and observe Yayoi looking she have far out look as she in love…mental note I need check back later on.

"The math teacher getting us ton of homework due on Friday and the problems are murderous I don't want to fail, Aoi you have your study guide I like to borrow them." Why she has bringing up the subject I despise the most because the horrible thing humanity brought up in existence.

"Sayuri you may use my notes to help you finish the assignment." I grind my teeth from shouting and cursing out whom inventing the concept of math.

Chie held on my arm to ease my distress and sensing the rising anger from me. "Yayoi you seeming like you aren't there on the conversation that we're talking about math homework and your mind preoccupied?"

Usually I don't pry into others' love lives except me and Chie but Yayoi is one of my friends. Even Reito maybe plotting something I still have people to protect especially my friends.

I return to my dorm room after long study session with them, as expected Nao wasn't in and the girl probably went out. I laid my book bag down and head for the draws looking something to wear tonight since the best idea to stalk on the streets and added I haven't been fed for awhile.

It ideal night to hunt with everybody staying in the dorms and the Kendo and Athletic Club are patrolling. Finding suitable clothing for occasion it little embarrassing due my fetish for cute things. I should call Chie in case before leaving.

Few nights pass since they attack Tate-kun; I'm on alert on possibly of being jump on. I can't afford to relax and letting my guard down due the circumstance. I start sensing somebody blood calling for me. My vampire instinct is leading me toward an alley and seeing a girl there. She was looking vulnerable and the human part of me wanting to hug her. The vampire nature within me wanting dominate and draining the essence of her blood. I close my eyes and letting the song tempting me and she have appearance of an angel.

I am walking cautionary and approaching her without of intent to hurting her. "Hello you're seems lost tonight? Where are your parents and why they left you alone?" Even I am asking questions something amidst about her that I can't put on a finger. "Excuse me what is your name?" Her eyes were upon on me.

"Alyssa Searrs and my parents are dead. My companion Miyu is with me tonight looking for vampires around the area to killing them." I admire the girl being so forward for her intention.

"Well little girl I'm Aoi and I am a vampire nice meet you," Well I'm being friendly with her at least.

"That interesting you revel yourself as a vampire what if my friend Miyu going to kill you she specify build to hunt them down," Then I sense someone behind me and spun around to face them.

"I see you're the girl's little pet. You don't look intimidate to me and I have fought against vampire hunters in the past before," She seems emotionless and unresponsive to my taunt.

"Ojou-sama wants to avenge her parents' death due one vampire killed them over couple years ago,"

I shouldn't underestimate her and robot companion because they perceive me as a threat. I still need gathering some more allies before he makes his next move and honestly I won't fight them tonight.

"Vampire then answer me this; I heard recently rash of vampire activity increasing in the Fuka area especially around a private high school and so I want to find the source of,"

I've to smirk by her forwardness. "His name is Kanzaki Reito and he plan to turn everyone into a vampire and kill me," I can't read the expression fell on her face.

"Thanks for the information but we shouldn't be friends and Miyu will hunt you down after this is over,"

"I don't expect you be friendly with me but I can take as a compliment," As her pet robot looking at me with contempt in her eyes I sneer back.

When they leave after words I started head by to the dorms because of the curfew and Chie probably worried about me.

Few days pass without incident even I'm relaxing I still was tense and on the alert. The cell phone was vibrating through my blazer and I was answering it. "Hello who's I'm speaking to?"

"Aoi is me, Chie I want talk to you it urgent meet me by the forest later this evening bye," Chie sound so strange and why she insist meeting in the forest at night. I was pondering this if a trap so I have be extra caution.

When I arrive at the meeting place to see I'm sensing something was wrong and seeing somebody emerge from the shadows and I found Chie held hostage!

"Senoh Aoi how dare you rebel against Kanzaki-sama and we capture your little girlfriend so you can cooperative."

The first thing I saw Chie having bruises all over her body, a busted lip and a cut on her forehead finding her in state she was in making my blood boil.

"Why you beating her up she never did anything to you," I am saying with anger in my voice.

"We were bore and need killing some time so we taking turns beating her don't worry she still alive but you should know your place,"

The leader of trio loser girls emerge behind her lackeys while the other two pinning Chie down with their feet.

"Your first offense is fight against our beloved Kanzaki-sama, second being obstruction to his ambitions, and finally we want you dead,"

Jeez they're having suicidal confidence to take me on and their delusional minds overestimate their chances. "Okay three against one fight sound fair if you willing thinking with your pea-sized brains of yours.

"Take back that insult you bitch! Scale Sisters attack her now!

They attacking me with oversized scales oh I so scare… not! They're more pathetic than I getting credit. "I'm making easier for you by using only my left arm and having you a free hit on me,"

"Please think we're stupid fall some trick we weren't born yesterday," Yeah I offer them chance to be less idiotic humans doesn't appreciate kindness.

I back flip away still using only one arm from the attack one of the Scale Sisters. Before I have a chance to recover the second one flank next to my right about to hit me with giant ruler, I parried and neutralize her attack with my right leg extend out.

The other two surrounding me and relentless assaulting me of course was proving futile when I keep evading their poorly telegraphed attacks. The leader came back for seconds I admit they're keeping on my toes…about a minute. Guess time to taking the kid gloves off showing why I'm a cute badass.

"You have ever thought why I never fought back against you? It time to show my true power you ignorant fools,"

I drop to ground and perform a handspring over them and bear my fangs and my eyes starting to glow. Witnessing them watching in fear very satisfying for me as tapping my vampire instinct deep within my mind. My hair was starting to grow past to my back and the huntress within me begging for blood. Chie watched my transform in both awe and fear. The Scale Sister now paralyzed with fright wings sprout from my back. As the transformation complete everyone in the area seeing my true form for the first time.

"You seeing as now not the Senoh Aoi you know but the huntress, the seductress and angel of death all roll into one. You can satisfy me?" My voice also change that a mature and sexy version of myself.

"Oh crap we are truly done for, Keiko we way over our heads," One of them starting to panic it good for me.

"Sae please hold yourself together we still have a chance," Hearing that worthless leader's voice betrayed her confidence it music to my ears.

"Yeah knowing we're in trouble you shouldn't be overconfidence and thinking we can win I'm thinking you're crazy," Watching the three arguing among themselves making a truly amusing in my book.

"Seeing you three are capable making asses out of yourselves." The reaction is priceless when seeing on their faces.

"We not scare of you because you grew wings y-you she-devil! Sae, Yumi use the Delta Attack to wipe that smirk from her face."

Oh bother they never learn. They put their scales together now it looks more ridiculous and stupider than ever. Guess I have be merciless knocking some common sense.

The Scales Sister now charging at me with reckless abandon and calmly I stop their attack by punching the scale. They realize how hopeless overwhelm in this confrontation and seeing the horror within their eyes.

"P-Please spare us. We sorry to attacking you and held your girlfriend hostage don't slaughter us." The leader was begging for mercy is a sad sight to witness.

"First thing is tell Reito that I won't leave him alone and be a thorn on his side, second I'll defeat him at the bitter end and finally I have gather some new allies to stop his plans to conquer Fuka. Go now and not bothering us anymore,"

"We understand and I relay the massage to Kanzaki-sama but please don't hurt us we're too young to die," They left their tails between their legs; I'm slowly turning back to myself and walk toward Chie.

"Chie it alright they won't harassing you sometime soon. I should have been there protect you then you won't be kidnap. Reito trying indirectly hurting me through you and you one of his main targets,"

"Aoi it not your fault stop beating yourself up. They ambush me earlier today and being their prisoner over several hours. I'm the one was careless,"

Looking Chie in vulnerable state wanting to redouble my efforts to stop Reito at all cost. That vow I attend to keep.
