Gareki, etsuko, and aiko were all in the cafeteria. Drinking blood packets. They were forced to get out of the medical room holding both of there friends senji and taka.

The most one putting up a fight was gareki. He didn't want to see them die. the stupid doctors didn't tell them a goddamn thing when they asked if they would be okay. But the doctors all looked sullen and unsure. Gareki remembered there mission that night. Taka and senji both fought really well against the varugas. But two of them got cought off gaurd by a varuga coming from behind slicing threw there stomachs like it was paper.

Gareki closed his eyes remembering there faces after the unexpected attack. It was mixed with shock and pain. The pain... gareki hated it. He delt with it his whole life. His parents deaths and the varuga attack on him when he was just 8 years old.

Gareki, gareki, gareki. Huh He finally snapped out of his thoughts. there alowing you all to go in. said tsukumo. finally he thought. he stood up practically running to the medic room. etsuko and aiko right behind him. claking in there heels. Once they all got back on the ship they were all to focused on senji and taka to get undressed.

they were in the medic room in seconds thanks to there vampire speed. there was one doctor with a clip board righting something down. are they going to be okay. said etsuko? the doctor looked up and exsplained there injuries to them.

They will be fine. If these two had been human they would have been died. they've lost alot of blood when they wake up they'll need alot of it to drink in order for there wounds to heel quickily. Okay etsuko said her eyes turning back to her friends.

gareki looked at them. And sure enough they were pale. They needed blood soon or they would die. when are they going to wake up. He asked.

there just sleeping now they'll wake up in a few minutes. they all waited there for a moment. and soon they saw taka squint his eyes and open them.

nnmm... where am I. he said. senji opened his blood red eyes also. looking up and seeing the rest of his friends smiling at them both. well not gareki he was smirking instead. good that you two are awake. said etsuko.

I thought I was dead for a second there. said taka remembering his friends voices yelling. and him being dragged barely feeling anything but the pain in his stomach. and a flash of red light. which was the flare gareki had shot to tell yogi to pull them up quickily. I"m glad I'm not dead. losing friends like you guys would be a waste.

aw don't make us cry said etsuko tearing up. I"m glad your both okay your like brothers to me. to... all of us. she said smiling.

I wake up and I'm crying now. said senji laughing with tears coming down his face. Don't cry we should all be happy that you two made it. said aiko.

yeah your right. senji said whipping off the tears. gareki explained to them that they both needed blood or else there wounds wouldn't heel. We could use a shower to. Gareki said just now looking at his clothes. They were all covered in blood from the varugas.

yeah that to. said etsuko noticing or the first time also. senji and taka both could walk but they needed support. Gareki helped taka too his feet walking him out the door. aiko and etsuko with senji right behind them head to the cafeteria.

they were both thirsty for blood. When they got them it made it look like they hadn't drunken any for an eternity. after that there wounds began to close slowly but surly. after that they all took showers washing away the blood that belonged to the varuga. then got dressed in there training clothes.

they all walked to the training hall together. do you think it's safe for the both of you to be training when your heeling up? gareki asked.

Yeah it's fine Our injuries are almost closed now. said senji. alright gareki said still a bit unsure. yogi eva and tsukumo. were in the training hall when they came in. I hope you two are well enough to train. said yogi.

Of course we are they both said. Good then. said yogi. Okay today we'll be going over the last session of your trianing. stamina running on the track. after this you all will practise the sessions on your own until the next mission for us begins.

Us? gareki said. Yes it will be all of us facing the varuga on the next mission, hirato hasn't given orders on when it will be yet. exsplained yogi. oh said gareki.

Alright lets begin! all of you will stand at the beginning of the track and run all the way around. While me eva and tsukumo will test how fast you ran. we will continue this until you all reach ! second, Full vampire speed. Got it.

yes sir they said. heading towards the track and getting in position.

then they ran fast


Running, running, running. thats all he ever did when he lived on the streets. gareki would be good at this. Just like the other training sessions he'd been through. He would keep pushing himself forward until the end.

Taka and etsuko were almost as fast as him. Aiko and senji were right behind gaining speed. It wasn't a race but gareki wanted to go faster so he speed up

aiko sow what he was trying to do and speed right after him. side by side. Gareki looked over at her with a bored face saying. you really can't get enough of your revenge huh.

shut up. she said. this is your fualt in the first place. that me and etsuko aren't speaking.

This girl was an idiot. gareki thought. Your so unbelievable I can't believe your even a vampire. usually vampires are smarter then you are. he said coldly. your calling me an idiot. look at yourself I heard before you got here you were living on the streets. What happened. your parents kicked you out or something. ... or maybe you don't have parents. you think just becuase you grew up on the streets your better then all of us! just becuase your parents died doesn't mean your all that.

shutup.

your pathetic

shutup!

your weak

shutup!

antisocial don't get me started on that one!

Shutup-

and you have a crush on etsuko.A person like you would NEVER be with her!

SHUT THE HELL UP! YOU DON"T KNOW A GODDAMN THING ABOUT ME. YOUR AN IDIOT IF YOU THINK YOU DO! YOU AND ETSUKO WOULD NEVER BE FRIENDS AGAIN. GET IT THREW YOUR STUPID SKULL. YOU AND HER ARE THREW. WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH YOU, YOU THINK SHE WOULD WANT TO BE YOUR FRIEND STILL AFTER YOU ALMOST KILLED HER ON THE PLAT FORMS. HELL NO. YOUR STANDING BY ME TRYING TO BE A SNEAKY LITTLE SHIT ABOUT MY PAST LIFE GETTING IT WRONG. MY PARENTS DIED BY A HUMAN. I WAS LUCKY ENOUGH TO ESCAPE. AND YOUR CALLING ME THE WEAK ONE THROWING AWAY YOUR FRIEND SHIP WITH ETSUKO IS WEAK DUM ASS. GET YOUR OWN LIFE STRAIGHT BEFORE YOU BUT INTO SOMEONE ELSE S. DAMMIT! Gareki yelled at the top of his lungs.

etsuko, taka, senji, yogi, eva, and tsukumo were staring at the two. stopping what they were doing. aiko looked shocked.

gareki"s blood red eyes were blazing with anger as he glared at her. finally he shoved past her knocking her to the floor. he didn't care. she dare speak about his parents deaths like that. she didn't deserve his sympathy.

Gareki wait! yelled etsuko. running towards him

Gareki turned around. his face was anger. showing her that he wanted to be alone.

she stopped in her tracks. he turned back around walking fast out of the training hall. every one watched after him giving him his space to cool off. But etsuko wanted to be by his side. pushing down her fear of him getting mad at her she ran after him. gareki wasn't sure where he was going but he kept walking. he heard foot steps behind him. He knew who it was. Etsuko stop following me-. she hugged him hard and strong.

Please don't go. she whispered. what are you talking about. he said. still looking to the front of him.

Aiko doesn't know what she's saying she's just jealous. Gareki's eyes widened how much of what aiko said had she heard? He was worried she might have heard aiko say he had a crush on her. but jealous was aiko really jealous he doubted it. But she would possibly be jealous of his and etsuko's friendship. How much of what she said did you here. Not much of it only the part when she said when your parents died ... your not all that. she said.

Gareki looked back at her it's nothing to worry about I'll be back in the training hall soon- no if your trying to get rid of me to have your pain to your self I'm not leaving you I'm your friend. etsuko protested.

Gareki didn't see any point of getting rid of her. she'd never leave. she let go of him as he slid down against a wall she did the same. I'm here for you gareki. she said. he stayed quiet. I don't know why but I'm drawn to you. ever since I first saw you I felt that I had to be your friend. gareki looked at her. why are you so nice to a person like me.

Isn't it obvious. you were nice to me when we first met. you helped me in a way I don't think I can repay you. she smiled. I guess but I would have done that to anyone-. he was interrupted. No you wouldn't your aura says differently,your a good person gareki I know it.

Gareki didn't know why she was so nice. it was bad for her in a way but also in a good way. but I want to know more about you gareki if that's okay? she asked.

he looked at her for a moment to see if it would be a good idea to tell her of his past. alright what do you want to know?he asked.

she sighed in nervousness... I want to know about your parents deaths how did it happen to them. she was referring to it as in kill. Gareki knew this question would come up. he had never told anyone of his parents deaths but it's about time he did.

It was my birthday. I exspected it to be a normal night with me and my parents. It started out normal like any other. my mother came in my room woke me up and told me happy birthday and to come down stares with her or a surprise. so I did, my dad was down stairs with a mini motor bike and tools to fix it. I'm good at building things but I haven't built anything out of memory of my parents. I thanked them and gave them both hugs. I spent the day with them eating cake and ice cream and playing games with my mother. my dad showed me a few tips to building bikes. Over all I had a great time. before I new it morning had come. I went to bed my mom tucked me in and my dad told me a story from when he was a kid.

they both said I love yous to me then went off to bed themselves. It was in the middle of day when I woke up from yelling coming from down stairs. I went to go check it out. I didn't go all the way down stars but stayed at the top hiding in the shadows. ... I looked down and saw my dad dead on the floor a human man with a shot gun standing over him. Blood was spilling from his corpse. I was shocked to say the least... but I didn't yell at the man for what he did. afraid that he would kill me.

But my thoughts had spoke to soon as the human man was heading up stairs to kill me. he hadn't seen me hiding but he just wanted to check for more vampires who might be hiding. I didn't move but my mother did. she yelled at the man to not go up stairs. But the man didn't listen he kept coming up the stairs getting closer to my hiding spot. my mother tried to bite his neck and kill him on the spot but he had his guard up and shot her in her heart. Gareki clenched his teeth together trying to hold back tears. He hadn't cried in front of any one before and he wouldn't start today. But a tear spilled over falling down his cheek slowly. etsuko saw this and whipped it away.

Gareki continued. ... she slid down the stairs dead. I wanted to do something but my body was young back then and the man was a lot bigger then me. so... I decided to run and escape threw the window in my room. I made it to the window opening it a crack. Until I felt the man grab me by the neck throwing me on the floor hard. I kicked and clawed at him trying to protect my life I managed to knock the gun unsteady. and he shot me. lukily for me the shot only hit the side of my stomach. It hurt like hell but I ignored the pain. I'd rather have pain then die. I manged to kick the gun unsteady again. and he tried to shoot me but he completely missed.

I bit his leg distracting him and ran to the window managing to get it all the way open and jumped out running as fast as I could. My parents were dead but I would remember them forever. Big tears were running down gareki's face but his face was serious.

...etsuko had tears in her eyes also... T-thats so sad I;m sorry I asked it wasn't my place to do so.

I told you the story on my own free will I knew what I was in for before I told you it. you don't have to apologize. Gareki said whipping the tears off his face. he got it out he thought. this was the first time he shared his pain with someone else. It felt like a weight had been lifted.

Dealing with that type of pain all on your own it leaves me wondering how did you survive? I don't know what aiko's talking about your not weak... your strong, your a good person gareki even... even though you try to hide it... it shows some times. It's beautiful in a way I can't put it into words. you should show that side more often. I'd hate to see you hurting like this. Tears were falling down her cheeks. her face was of determination. made or him.

the words she said to him that night echoed in his head. He actually made a friend a true friend that wouldn't stab him in the back. and she was sitting right in front of him. And for the first time he smiled. Not a smirk but a true smile. I'm thankful to have a friend like you. he said.

etsuko's eyes widened, then she gave him a smile to. I'm glad we met. she said. come on we have a mission to train for...for freedom.

standing up he reached his hand forward grabbing hers and saying. for freedom.
