Hello, there. Sorry, it seems to have been awhile since I've updated. But oh well! Enjoy this chapter. Please review~!

Happy belated birthday, Galaco!

I do not own Vocaloid or Vampire Knight. Also, I apologize if my stories are similar to anybody else's; I did not steal your ideas.


Vampireloids: Bloody Tunes

The sequel to Vampireloids: Songs and Fangs. It's the week before school starts up again, and Len, as a Prefect, has to go back a week early. But school this year won't be the same, especially when Len's friends transfer to Cross Academy. How will Len protect his secret? And how will he deal with the ongoing war between Zero and Kaito?


Chapter 8: Sleeping Thirst

Roses are red, violets are blue. Classes are boring, I love you.

I hand the scribbled note to Kaito as we pass each other in the hallway, both on our way to next block. I keep walking, but Kaito grabs my arm and pulls me to face him. He plants a kiss on my nose and says, "I love you, too, Len." Girls in the hallway giggle as they pass, and the heat in my face informs me that it is scarlet. Great.

"K-Kaito!" I exclaim, embarrassed. Iroha, who is beside me, pats my arm in a way that would be almost soothing, if not for the smirk on her face. In return, I glare at her. She just smiles.

"Len, you can talk to me between classes, you know," Kaito informs me.

"Not right now!" I glance at the clock on the wall, which informs me we have only 2 minutes to get to class. "This break is small! Now we have to run to get to class!"

"Well, later, Len," Kaito replies, like nothing ever happened. But the twinkling in his eyes tells me he thinks it amusing when I get frustrated. He turns and calmly walks into the next classroom, and the rest of us take off running. And off to the stables we go.

We arrive just as the teacher begins roll call. Everybody is here, except for Zero (understandably). Then, the teacher tells everybody to go get dressed for riding. We obediently oblige. I trail towards the guys' change room, thinking about how I needed more guy friends. It sucks that 1) all of my friends are girls and 2) Kaito is in a different class, because that means that I'm all alone in the change room. And maybe that just means I'm feminine, because looking around, none of the guys even talk to each other as they change. They're out in an instant, whereas I'm only staring to get dressed.

I step outside the change room a few minutes later, dressed in the horse-riding gear, and join my friends. They all have nice, form fitting tops, and skinny pants. I guess that I'm smaller than most of the guys at this school, because all of my clothes are baggy.

The teacher walks around, assigning groups and horses to everybody. My horse is pretty gentle, and all of my friends are in the same group as me except for Miku. We all depart for the horses.

In this class, we have to learn (if you don't already know) how to saddle the horse, and also how to put the reins on without the horse running away. Luckily, the horses are all well trained and we don't have to worry about that very much.

Now that all of the horses in the first group are saddled, we have to lead them over to the trail and mount. I do, and everybody else does, too, and then we start along the trail.

A sudden sickness descends on me, making me feel dizzy and faint. The horse seems to sense it, too, and suddenly begins to buck. At first, I try to hold on, but I feel so weak that I eventually let go, and end up flying through the air. I hear people calling my name as I simply fall to the ground. I don't have the time or energy to remind myself to try and land on my feet.

"Len!" a voice shouts above me. It's Iroha. I open my eyes to look up at her, but she crouches beside me, her golden orbs wide. "Don't open your eyes!" she hisses into my ear. I open my mouth to ask her why, but she shakes her head (I can hear it), and whispers, "Or your mouth." I nod, not sure why, but then Iroha calls to the teacher.

"I'm going to take Len to the infirmary!"

I assume the teacher is okay with this when Iroha pulls me to my feet and helps me start to walk back to where we came from.

"Do you need help, Iroha-chan?" That's Yori.

"I'll be fine, Yori-chan," Iroha replies. She pulls me along a bit quicker, and I distantly hear Yori nod her head.

A few minutes later, we reach a door, and then go up a set of stairs before walking down a long hallway and go through another door. Iroha sits me down on what feels like a bed, and I hear a door closes. I am told it's okay to open my eyes now. Iroha is directly in front of me when I do so, and I let out a little gasp of surprise.

"When was the last time you had a blood tablet?" Iroha asks. I stare at her, and then think back a couple of days.

"2 or 3 days ago, I think," I reply. Somehow, it is difficult to speak. "I was going to go ask the Chairman for more, but I guess I forgot."

"So you haven't had any blood in at least 3 days?" Iroha asks. She shakes her head. "Well, blood tablets won't help you now. I have no choice." She pulls her hair away from her throat.

"What?" I ask. Iroha sighs dramatically, and glares at me.

"Len, do you even realize that you're thirsty? Like, really thirsty?"

I stare at her. "How thirsty?"

"Your eyes are bright red, and your fangs are out! That's why I told you not to open your eyes or mouth. I didn't want anyone to see."

I stare at Iroha for a long moment, and then my gaze lowers to her throat. I can see the veins, beating in a subtle way. I can hear the blooding rushing through the veins. Iroha tilts her head, exposing more of her throat. And before I know what's happening, I lunge at her.

My fangs sink into her throat, and I hear Iroha gasp. Was she not expecting me to do something like this? Or was she not expecting me to do it so quick? I don't know, but as I begin to pull blood into my mouth, I forget about her reaction. It really does seem like it's been awhile since I've had anything remotely similar to this. Somehow, I feel like I have to crave it. And I do.

"Len!" a voice calls. A feel hands shove against my chest, shoving me backwards. I fall onto the bed, and that's the last thing I know.


"Len? Len, wake up!" A hand strokes my arm. I feel too tired to move, so I ignore it.

"Maybe he's like a princess, and you have to kiss him to wake him up, Kaito," Iroha says. I can hear the teasing smile in her voice. As if she expects me to get up and yell at her for that.

"You think so?" Kaito sounds doubtful.

"Isn't it worth the try?" Rin smirks. I mentally remind myself to yell at her later. But I don't move. If Iroha knows I'm awake, she doesn't say anything.

"I guess," Kaito murmurs. I her his clothes rustle as he leans down, and then his lips are pressed against mine. They touch mine gently, and then he pulls away. I want to pout, but I don't want Kaito to know I'm awake, because I want him to keep kissing me.

"It didn't work," Luka says, almost emotionally.

"Maybe you should try again," Gumi smiles.

"M-maybe…" Kaito replies. I just know he's blushing. I hear him lean down again, and his lips are on mine. He stays just a moment longer this time, and doesn't pull away as quickly or as far. The bed bounces slightly as he sits down beside me. "Wake up, Sleeping Beauty," he breathes. I want to scowl; how dare Kaito call me a princess! But I don't, because I am still asleep, and sleeping people don't scowl.

I hear giggles before Miki manages to squeak out, "Maybe 3's a charm?"

Kaito's lips are on mine again, this times hungry and excited. As if he knows that this is the one. And I give in. I throw my arms around his neck, pulling him down, and kissing him back. The girls all burst into giggles again.

Kaito pulls away and peers down at me. I open my eyes and stare into his beautiful sapphire eyes. He frowns.

"How long have you been awake?" he demands. I sit up and stick my tongue out at him.

"Since before the first kiss."

"That long?" Kaito exclaims, blushing. I smile.

"Yep!"

"High five!" Miku exclaims, jumping forward and holding out her hand. I slap it, and Miku smiles. "How did you do that? I could never be that calm!"

"It was hard," I reply, shooting a glare in Rin's direction. My sister just grins, not bothered by it.

"Len," Iroha says quietly. She holds out a glass to me. The contents are bright red. I look up at her. "It's juice, from the Chairman. He says it'll make you feel better. I also picked up your medicine." She tosses the pill bottle, and I glance at it before dropping it onto the bedside table. I know what it is. Then I take the glass of "juice" from Iroha and gulp it down. When it's empty, I put it down beside the blood tablets.

A knock sounds on the door, and Yori's head peeks around the corner. "Can we come in?" she asks. I nod, and she walks in, Yuuki a step behind her. The brunette vampire closes the door behind her and makes her way to the bed. She looks concerned, and asks in a quiet voice; "Are you okay?" I nod.

"Yes, I'm fine."

Yuuki nods thoughtfully, and looks at Iroha, whose fingers move to touch her throat. But she nods, too.

"Okay," she turns to face our friends. "You guys should all get to class. It'll start soon."

They all nod, almost sadly, and then Gumi, Miki, Miku, Luka and Rin turn and leave the room. After a raised eyebrow from Yuuki and a motion towards the, Yori turns and follows them. The door closes, leaving the 4 of us alone in our temporary room.

"Len, you can't forget about your blood tablets," Yuuki says as soon as it's closed. She turns to face me, her eyes blazing with anger. I feel my eyes widen. I don't know if I've ever seen her this angry. "You almost lost control yesterday! You have to be more careful!"

"What?" I ask, confused. I hardly remember anything from yesterday.

Yuuki sighs. "Iroha, can you please show him the bite?" Iroha stares at her for a moment before reaching up to her neck. She tugs down the collar of her shirt, unbuttoning it slightly and unwrapping the bandage there. She pulls away the last layer, and I gasp at what's underneath.

The skin is red and raw, and where there would normally be 2 small holes, the skin is torn away. Luckily, the wound isn't bleeding, but there is a strip of skin missing so that I can see through all of the layers of skin, down to the vein. I look away, feeling slightly nauseas. Kaito squeezes my hand.

"I'm so sorry, Iroha," I whisper. Iroha nods and begins to rewrap it. Yuuki turns to face me.

"Len, you do know what this means, right?" I stare at her, not wanting to answer.

"You are being taken over by the madness."
