A/N: Another chapter~!

Sleeping Moon: He wasn't sugar high, you can get a clearer picture as to why he was acting crazy with this chapter.

...

Tsuna could feel the soft pelting of something cold and wet on her body, mingling with a burning pain she had in her shoulder. Moaning she flipped onto her back and felt something cool, soft, and spongy press against her back. Opening her eyes she stared up into inky darkness, dark clouds hiding any form of light and letting down cold raindrops that was soaking her to the core.

"When did I come outside?"

She pressed her palms into the ground and pushed herself up, her left hand slicing open against a jagged rock. Hissing she curled her fingers in to press against her newest wound to her ever-growing collection, doing her best to stop the bleeding before one of the vampires tried to take a bite out of her. She doubted she could take anymore, not after what Kanato did to her. Her eyes narrowed at the memory and her blood stained hand unconsciously touched the scabbed over wound. It still hurt somewhat and caused her whole shoulder to throb every time she moved. Taking a sharp intake of breath through her nose she began to push herself off the ground, her body screaming in protest as ever muscle seared with bitter pain. Ever so slowly she managed to stand on her legs which were wobbly and warm, almost as if someone had stuffed them full of cotton. Leaning forward to try to keep the pain in one area she continued to clutch at her shoulder, staring at the soft dirt and moss that was the ground.

"Oi, Chichinashi!"

Not having the energy to put on her mask Tsuna ignored him and took a heavy step forward, her feet stinging as she forceed blood to circulate through them.

A low growl sounded behind her. "Chichinashi, ore-sama is talking to you!"

She took another step, her feet buzzing as if an angry swarm of bees were making a nest there. However she didn't get far for as soon as she tried to take another step a cold hand grabbed her shoulder and spun her around, forcing her to face him. "Don't ignore me when I'm talking to you!"

Acid green eyes narrowed as they noticed that Tsuna dared to stare at the ground instead of him. Gripping her chin he jerked her head, a smirk sliding onto his face when he caught the trembling lips and downcast eyes that she displayed.

All signs of fear.

"Well, well, well. It seems that even Chichinashi can break down and give up." He tilted her face back so that she looked in his eyes. "That look of fear on your face is intoxicating, maybe I'll go ahead and kill you tonight."

The girl tried to turn her head away but his grip tightened causing her to cry out, she knew later on that there would be bruises. Ayato laughed at her and pushed her away, her bare foot getting caught on the same rock from earlier and slipping. She fell straight on her back, the wind getting knocked out of her lungs from the sheer force of her fall. Her shoulder began to pound from the pain and her foot began to burn thanks to the cut on it. A choked sob made way past her lips, but was quickly swallowed when Ayato towered over her small form with a predatory grin.

"Your terrified face isn't enough Chichinashi." He said. "I want you to run away and scream like the idiot you are."

"N-no!"

"Do you think you have a choice?" He grabbed her by the arm, almost popping it out of her socket, and kept her stable. "I'll give you a three-minute head start."

She stared at him with a confused expression that quickly changed to terror when she heard the words come out of his mouth.

"If I catch you, I'll kill you."

...

The cold light from the full moon bathed the entire forest as the earthy scent of rain spread through the area. The small doves nested in the boughs of the trees, putting their chicks to bed while the bats flew about catching the mosquitoes and other annoying insects. Frogs croaked their night melodies with the accompaniment of the crickets creating a night lullaby that put all the day animals asleep. Watching from the top of the trees were owls, their large eyes aware of the dangers that surrounded them as well as the prey scurrying on the ground. Tensing its light brown wings it swooped down to take thee rat in its claws just to screech and fly off in the opposite direction as a branch swings back and a human runs by.

For the last hour Tsuna had run non-stop to keep away from Ayato. Her arms and legs were bloody, her muscles burned, and her lungs throbbed as they tried to take in more air. Every step she took made her body scream in protest and her brain felt warm from the constant adreniline being pumped into it.

Yet she didn't stop.

If she did then she knew Ayato would be quick to pounce on her and kill her. She was threatened by the residential vampires multiple times while living in this house, but all of them had been for punishment not death. Something about him was different tonight, much more blood thirsty and terrifying. She could practically feel the blood lust rolling off of him in waves that wanted to snatch her up and utterly destroy her. This feeling alone terrified her, but to see it in his eyes made her soul want to curl up and die. What was it that made him act differently tonight?

She bushed away a cluster of vines in her way, one of the thorns nicking her cheek and giving Ayato a signal. Perhaps he was just hungry becausehe hadn't come to her and eat in a while, but if that was the case he wouldn't be borderline insane. That thought was quickly thrown out the window, Ayato was always insane, tonight he was just worse. As her memories began replaying some of the vampire information she read about, she tripped and fell over a tree root. A low squeal left her lips as her face made contact with a puddle. The water sent a shiver down her body and she spat out the gritty tasting liquid as she pulled herself out of it.

Taking deep breaths to fill her aching lungs she maneuvered her body around and stared down at her ankle. It was red and pulsing, when she flexed it a sting of pain went up her leg and made her eyes water. There was no way she was going to be able to get up and run away again. Sniffling she rubbed the tears away that threatened to break through, she wasn't going to die and give him the satisfaction of seeing her cry.

"So this is it then." She stared up at the moon, her good leg propped up to her chin while her other laid in front of her. After all the effort she put into surviving this place she was going to die by Ayato's hands. Taking a shaky breath she dug a hand into her skirt pocket and took out a small rosary. It wasn't very impressive just yellow beads and a sterling silver crucifix that had smudge marks thanks to the mud.

Grasping it in her hands she looked back up at the moon and took a shuddering breath. "God, I understand I was never very religious like my parents wanted but..." She hands began to shake. "Please forgive me for each of my sins and let everyone at home forgive me..."

"Praying to your god, just like clock work."

Tsuna couldn't even manage to pretend to conceal her surprise as she saw Ayato floating in front of her. "How-?"

"It's the full moon, idiot." His feet touched the ground and a smirk curled onto his lips. "On the full moon vampires are much more powerful, but even more hungry than usual. I'm even willing to drink your shitty blood."

Balling up her fists she narrowed her eyes and looked up at him defiantly. She wasn't going to make this easy for him, she was going to fight and make this as unpleasant for him as it was for her. A harsh laugh left the vampire's lips and within seconds he pushed the girl down, her head hitting the ground and making her see stars, and strandled her waist. Grappling at the vampire's shoulders she attempted to push him off but he only curled a hand around her neck, cutting off the girl's air supply.

"That face is only making me want to kill you." Ayato said as he ripped open the first three buttons of her shirt.

"N-no!" She arched her back in pain as his fangs entered her chest, sucking up the precious blood that was so close to her heart. Her hands slackened and they let go of his shoulders and began to claw at the ground in an attempt to crawl away. Her heart beat thumped in her ears and spots began touching her vision as she struggled under the vampire. There was no way out of this situation.

Only through death.

...

Reiji stared at the old monk as he walked into the was dressed in a traditional priest's robes of dark brown with a simple wood rosary in hand. His steps were feeble and held a slight limp, but his back was straight and head held high as he sat down in the chair in front to Reiji's desk. "Good evening Father, I hope the journey to our home wasn't too tiring.

The man pulled back the dark-colored hood and gave the vampire a blank stare. "Quit with the formalities boy. You and I both know I don't want to be here and you don't want me here." He leaned back in his chair. "So explain to me why you summoned me to the this hell hole."

A frown tugged on Reiji's face but he said nothing of the man's manners. "It has come to my attention that the girl that you sent us is of low...quality."

O'Malley shrugged. "What of it, you can't get exceptional girls every time."

"That is the issue Father," He opened up a drawer and took out a thick folder, handing it to the unamused priest. "this girl is one of them."

"And how can you tell." He took the folder and began looking through it. Inside was Tsuna's medical information and other things that only herself or her family ought to know.

"I took a sample of her saliva and tested it against another sample that I have. It's not nearly as strong but-"

"You need a blood sample." O'Malley said as he examined a picture of Tsuna and her family.

A blue haired man and black-haired woman both stood together with a blue haired baby in their arms. On the floor in front of them was a spiky, blue haired boy who was making a rabbit-ear sign behind a blue haired girl who had her tongue out. Both of them seemed to be at least sixteen years old and looked similar in appearance. Next to her was a boy who was at least twelve years old, he had a pair of glasses and a bored look on his face. Next to him was another boy with black hair, but he had a barrage of freckles on his face. Next to him was Tsuna, but her hair was shorter and her face was all eyes. She seemed to be at least eight years old at the time and had a large smile on her face, but her eyes were closed thanks to the flash.

"And how would that prove anything when I have a blood sample, I got one from her earlier this evening. It simple confirms-"

"Not through science." The priest stated. "You'll have to do it the old fashioned way. If you like I can give you the kit and you can do it on your own or I could do it for you...For a price of course."

Reiji's garnet eyes narrowed in irritation. "I know how to prescribe such a test, I do not require your help." He sighed and picked up the blood test results. "This would be easier if you would just allow a transfer."

"And stop this interesting turn of events, never."

The vampire stared at the priest as the man continued to look through the papers. It was obvious from the smirk he had on his face and how tight-lipped he was about the girl that he was happy with the way things were, and not because they happened to be interesting. Setting the results back on the desk the vampire steepled his fingers under his chin. "If the results mark that this is true then you realize the consequences?"

A smirk slipped onto the priest's lips. "Alas I-What's wrong?"

Reiji was no longer looking at the priest but instead out of the window. Sitting up properly he sniffed the air and furry moved through his eyes and threatened to consume the logic residing there.

Turning to the priest he handed the test result to him. "I believe that I may be correct in my assumptions, Father."

"And what do you mean by that?"

Reiji stood up from his desk and went to the window, staring out into the moon lit darkness. "Ayato is bleeding to death."
