Momo: Ah! Sorry it's taking me so long! My school work is trying to kill me! That and the sleep deprivation and bipolar health doesn't help either. Without further ado, I give you the next chapter! ^-^


Aiko's POV

Our group was in a very depressing mood by the time we got back to the campus. As expected, our fellow classmates and friends rushed to us to see what happened. Natsumi just looked at them sternly, calming then down, then calmly explained our dilemma. Arashi and Tenshi were still frustrated at Kaname because he wouldn't let us go look for our parents/sibling. Truth to be told, I am too. All four of us have the right to go look for our families, and we're strong enough!

Then again... That also leads to the story mom told us about her past. The people she had to put up with sounded insanely strong. Plus, she's already been through so much and has lost dad to that evil bastard... again. I really don't think we can put her through all that pain again. It would just be cruel. Still, could mom really be put in this situation again? That's the main reason I wanted to go. Yeah, I did want to get my dad and friends back, but I also didn't want mom to have to go through this hell for the umpteenth time.

"Sorry about your dad." a voice suddenly said, cutting my thoughts short. I snapped out of my state of deep thought and looked to see that Ryuu had said that. I managed to give him a fake smile. "It's alright. Mom and the others will get them back." I assured. It's not that I didn't think they could, I was just worried. Ryuu cocked his head to the side and looked at me in disbelief. Crap, it's that obvious?

"Please don't lie." he said. I nodded silently, and walked upstairs. Ryuu was following me, knowing our conversation wasn't over yet. I just wanted to get away from everyone right now. I can tell Arashi, Tenshi, Natsumi, and I all want to be alone right now. I'm only allowing Ryuu to follow me because he's concerned for us. The others are more curious than concerned. Plus, they probably don't care about my father, a couple of vampiric vampire hunters, and their daughter.

I led Ryuu into my room, shutting the door behind us. As soon as I was sure no one was around, I threw myself onto Ryuu, hugging him tightly and letting the tears that I've been restraining for a few hours now free. "I can't believe someone would do this to them!" I sobbed. He was probably confused at first, but decided it was best to let me cry and just quietly hugged me back. "I don't know why anyone would do it to your dad or Tenshi's family." he replied softly.

"There's this guy... He did some terrible things to mom, dad, and everyone who used to be here. They thought he was dead, but now he's back and he kidnapped them! What if he kills them!?" I exclaimed histerically. Ryuu just hugged me tighter, knowing I was only getting worse. I stood there, letting him hold me, crying for I don't know how long. I'm amazed he had the patience to put up with me for so long.

After what felt like an eternity, I managed to stop crying and I looked up at Ryuu, who in turn was looking at me. We looked at each other for what felt like eternity until I finally decided to break the silence. "Sorry you have to put up with me like this. I apologized. Ryuu still looked me dead in the eyes. "It's alright. You're dad and friends were kidnapped, I can't really blame you for crying." he assured. With those words, I managed to smile a little. I hate feeling like a burden, so it felt nice to know I wasn't bothering him in any way. Ryuu then started to lean in towards me, probably to give me another hug.

"Hey." a voice suddenly said. We both looked at the doorway to see Tenshi standing in the door frame. "Tenshi, what are you doing here?" I asked. "I came to tell you we're going to go get my parents, my sister, and your dad back." he answered. my eyes widened considerably. "Are you nuts!? We're going to get them!?" I exclaimed. Tenshi ran across the room and covered my mouth. "Shh! Don't let the world know! Besides, there's that girl with the blue hair..." he whispered. I grabbed his hand and got it off my mouth. "You mean Senna? Seiren's daughter?" I asked. "Yeah. She's under her mom, Hikari, and Kaname's orders to make sure we don't leave the school. Oh, and Seiren's probably watching too." he explained.

Well, I can say that makes our lives So much freaking easier!? "How the hell do you expect us to get past them!?" I asked quietly. Tenshi looked at me as if I were stupid. "We sneak out. Duh." he whispered. Oh, wow, smart. My best friend is then next friggin' Einstein! "How do you expect us to sneak out?" I asked. "Well, Arashi is coming with us, so that should make it a little easier." he answered. What a shocker, my brother is coming with us. I hope everyone can just see the waves of sarcasm I'm emitting. Don't get me wrong, I wanted to go get them back, but really, Seiren and her daughter!? We'd lose! "Come on. Lets go." Tenshi murmured. "You three are sneaking out?" a new voice suddenly asked. Unfortunately, we knew it well.

"Crap!" Tenshi and I whispered as all three of us turned to the door and saw Natsuki standing at the door with Arashi behind her. Well, we can forget getting them back now. "You aren't going without me." she finished. Everyone looked at her in shock. "What?" we all asked at the same time. "I care about them too. Yes, my father will angry with me, but I want to help my friends." she explained. I am so glad she has Yuuki's attitude most of the time! "Awesome! Lets go!" Tenshi exclaimed happily, not giving a damn who was around this time. That's when the unexpected happened.

"Do you guys mind if I come too?" Ryuu asked. We all looked at him in confusion. "Why do you want to come?" Tenshi asked. "I want to help. You guys all seem angry and sad. I just want to help." he explained. I smiled at him sadly and have him another hug. "Of course you can. Thanks Ryuu." I thanked. He smiled back. I could feel a glare in Ryuu's general direction, but I just assumed it was Arashi. "Lets get going. Senna and Seiren are on the look out. If we're not careful, then we're screwed." Arashi stated. Yeah, time to go. We all grabbed some stuff we'd need and ran out. I grabbed the katana dad gave me for my sixteenth birthday. I WILL use it on whoever dares hurt him or my friends.

"Everyone ready?" Arashi asked. We all this nodded. "We will sneak out of a window. We can just blimb down a tree." Natsuki suggested. It was smarter than waltzing out the front doors. "Good idea." I stated. There just so happened to be a tree next to my window, so Natsuki walked up to the window and opened it, looking outside to make sure Seiren and Senna weren't around. "They're not around. Lets go." she said as she started to climb out the window and onto the tree. Then there was Arashi, Tenshi, and Ryuu. Now, I didn't like this because I'm a big klutz. "Please don't let me fall out of the tree." I pleaded quietly as I stepped out of the window and onto the tree.

So far it was all good. Until halfway down, the damn branch fell on me and I was just lucky enough to hit damn near every branch on the way down. "Ow! Ow! Ow! OW! Son of a bitch!" I screamed as I fell down. Surprisingly, i landed on something soft. "Owww." I grumbled. "You okay?" a voice asked. I looked down to see that I had landed on Tenshi. "Crap, sorry! I'm fine!" I exclaimed as I stood up and helped him up. My idiot brother was laughing the whole time. "Wow Aiko, what grace." he laughed. I just growled and punched him. "Enough you two. Lets get out of here now." Natsuki ordered. We immediately shut up and followed her into the woods. It's a good thing we did, because Seiren and Senna showed up below my window after we hid.

"Now what?" Ryuu asked. "We search everywhere. Hikari will still be in the hospital, and there as to be at least a drop of blood at the house that isn't hers or Takuma's. Lets go." Natsuki answered. We nodded and then ran at an inhuman speed. We were going to be in SO much trouble later, but getting them back is worth it.


Hikari's POV

It made me feel better knowing the kids weren't going to have to put up with Haku. I didn't tell them when they were younger because I didn't want them to get in the middle of it. Heh, see what happens when you try to do the right thing? The good deed backfires on you! Karma blows.... Still.... I can't believe that bastard is back. Well, most likely back. There is no one else that would do this to us, so I don't understand why the hell we can't find anything.... I just want Takuma, Zero, Luna, and Hotaru back....

"Hikari." a voice said. I looked up to see Kaname had entered the room. "How are you feeling?" he asked. "Physically, fine. Emotionally and mentally, terrible." I answered. He sighed and sat next time me. "We'll find them." he assured. I know we can find them, but that still just worries me. How long will it take? Are they okay? Or are they hurt..? There are just too many horrifying questions running throughout my mind.

"Kaname, was it really Haku?" I asked. He sat there silent for a moment, but then answered. "There's no way of knowing for sure, but everything seems to match what he's done in the past. We need to check your home soon to make sure they didn't bleed or leave anything behind." he answered. That just made my heart drop to the pit of my gut.... That means there's a strong chance of Haku having Takuma and the others... Truth to be told, I'm more worried about Takuma. Haku hates him the most, meaning more torture. Just the though of what that bastard did to him last time can give me nightmares.

"Did you reach everyone?" I asked. He nodded. "Hanabusa is very upset and is making sure Tora doesn't completely freak out, Kai has been informed, and hasn't spoken since, Rima, Shika, Kain, and Ruka will be here soon with Hanabusa as well." he answered. Good. The more people to help, the better. "What about the kids?" I asked. "I won't let them search. They are at the school. Seiren and her daughter are keeping an eye on them to make sure they don't get any ideas as well." he answered again. Cool, looks like everything that's being planned is running smoothly.

Suddenly, Kaname's phone rang. He sighed and answered it. I could only hear his end of the conversation. "Yes?... What about them?... What?.... What!?.... How did they manage?...I see... Don't stop searching." he said as he hung up the phone. I looked up at him in fear. "What the hell happened?" I asked. He looked at the floor. "The children all ran off." he answered. My jaw dropped. "No..." I whispered, tear brimming my eyes. Not them... They shouldn't be involved!

Kaname's aura was a very angry one. "Kaname?" I asked. He didn't answer, but the vase of flowers next to my bed exploded.

He's pissed....


Takuma's POV

Not good... I know Zero, Luna, and their daughter, Hotaru are here too. I could understand Zero and Luna, but why their little girl? She doesn't deserve to be stuck in here with us. I'm not saying we deserve it, but she's too young to understand anything... I just can't believe we're in this kind of predicament again. It angered me a lot. Though, it also made me hope my children and their friends wouldn't get involved. They are old enough to understand, which worries me... They can't be involved... I hope they aren't...

Suddenly, someone walked into my room. "Having fun?" they asked. I glared back. "No." I answered coldly. They smirked evilly. "I'm so sorry." they started as a hand was put on my chest. I didn't flinch, I just glared. "Why don't you lay down?" they asked. I suddenly felt a terrible pain in my chest that made me collapse onto the bed. Blood was streaming out of my chest, and I was taking deep, heavy breaths.

"See, isn't that more comfortable?" they asked cruelly. I couldn't reply, I was too busy trying to breathe. "Don't worry, I'll have someone fix you up." they assured as they walked out of the room. A servant walked in to bandage me up.

Looks like I'm in hell again.


???'s POV

This shouldn't be too hard. It's almost too easy. All I need is Hikari and the others, and then the plan can fall into place. As I walked back down the hallway to check on my other prisoners, I stopped and smirked at the news I just suddenly received.

"So they disobeyed Kaname after all... How fun." I said to myself as I continued down the hallway, just thinking about the fun that will soon take place.
