Chiaki didn't give the Rouge any warning as he shifted behind him and twisted his head clean off.

Hatori sank down, his breathing hard. He was already losing consciousness from the blood loss and shock. Chiaki wasted no time as he carefully picked Hatori up in his arms and shifted them back into his apartment and on his bed.

His hands were shaking as he inspected the bite mark on his neck and the blood he consumed from the Rouge on his lips.

"Oh, no, no, no!" There was no saving Hatori as he was already going through the changes. Tears fell down Chiaki's eyes. "I'm so sorry Hatori! I should have gotten to you sooner!" He couldn't think strait. What was he going to do? There had to be a way to stop it! But how!?

Hatori's first scream knocked Chiaki back to his senses. Right, Hatori needed him calm right now, he couldn't afford to panic, and he had to do what was necessary in order to help Hatori through this. Chiaki climbed on the bed with Hatori and held him tight in his arms.

As Hatori screamed again Chiaki whimpered as if it was his pain as well. He held him tighter knowing that Hatori was growing stronger by the minute.

Hatori thrashed as he yelled out. The pain was torture, Chiaki knew. He never wanted to see this from Hatori, he wanted Hatori to live a long human life, get married, and have children.

Finally Hatori calmed down after what seemed like hours. Chiaki quickly took out his cell and called Yokozawa.

"Chiaki?"

"Yokozawa! I need you to send someone to clean up in front of my building. I killed a Rouge."

Chiaki heard Yokozawa curse. "You couldn't keep him alive for questioning?"

"He turned Hatori! There was no way I was going to let that fucker live!" He snarled.

"What!?"

"Just hurry up and send someone Yokozawa! I-" Chiaki's voice broke. "I need help."

"Alright, shift me to you."

Chiaki closed the cell and slowly set the now unconscious Hatori aside. He stayed there a few moments just staring at Hatori. He was so pale; the usually strong Hatori was on the bed looking so weak. It scared him. Did he drink enough? Was he alright? He knew some don't make it to Vampires because they were so weak but Hatori couldn't be one of them.

Right?

Chiaki shifted and grabbed Yokozawa quickly.

Yokozawa cursed to see Hatori already slowly going through the transformation. He went over to inspect the wound on his neck. "It's done. There's nothing we could do now. Where's the body of the Rouge?"

"Outside in the front gate,"

Yokozawa nodded. "I'll go inspect it myself, for now take Hatori back to the island it's dangerous to leave new-born's near humans." Chiaki nodded his understanding. Yokozawa went out the door leaving Chiaki alone.

Chiaki stroked Hatori's now cool forehead.

He wished to God that this didn't happen. He wished he could reverse time and save him from this wrenched fate. "I'm so sorry Hatori, so sorry." Tears ran down his eyes once again.

"Chiaki…"Chiaki jumped at the sound of Hatori's voice.

"It's ok, I promise you."

Hatori cupped his cheeks surprising him. "He didn't get you did he?" Chiaki shook his head. Hatori exhaled and coughed, his hand moved to his throat which was probably burning right now.

Chiaki shifted them to his room on the island. "Just rest right now. I know you have lots of questions and I'll answer them when you're better ok?" He was babbling. He knew he was but he couldn't stop. "I'll take care of you."

Why did this have to happen?

Hatori blinked at the new room he was suddenly in. Chiai noticed how disorientated Hatori looked. He understood how that was like, suddenly everything was louder and he would see things his human eyes failed to see. Chiaki meant to push Hatori down on the bed to relax but Hatori suddenly grabbed him and pulled Chiaki in his lap.

"Hatori!" Chiaki blushed at their positions. He was straddling Hatori!

Chiaki tensed as he felt Hatori's new fangs glaze his neck, he bit back a moan as Hatori sank his teeth into him. He couldn't breathe as the pleasure had him staining.

Hatori sucked with a moan. Chiaki held tight to Hatori's shirt as his breathing went uneven from the pleasure Hatori was giving him.

Hatori released him with a horror expression. "Don't worry that's supposed to happen." Chiaki reassured him. Hatori covered his lips. Chiaki was about to get off him when Hatori grabbed him.

"I just bit you!" Hatori's voice was a rasp of horror.

"It's fine Ha-"

"What if I turned you-" Hatori stopped as Chiaki showed him his own fangs.

"I'm already a Vampire Hatori. Don't worry about me."

"How did it happen to you? When?"

Chiaki hesitated. "Don't freak out, ok?" Hatori nodded slowly there were fear in his eyes. For him? Hatori must think he became a Vampire recently. "I've been a vampire for over a few hundred years already."

Hatori's eyes went wide. "Impossible! I've known you since our first year in college!"

"Uhhh…Yeah about that…" Chiaki looked away guilty. "I wasn't actually a student there, I was sent there because there was a Vampire messing around where he shouldn't have been."

Hatori relaxed a bit. "So I couldn't possibly save you from that…"

"What?" Chiaki frowned. He took the chance to quickly get off of him. Hatori only watched him with his new Vampire black eyes.

"Nothing…"

Chiaki narrowed his eyes. Wait black eyes? Chiaki cursed. Hatori was going through a panic attack. Despite his earlier calm about everything that happened inside he was freaking out.

This must be scaring him to death.

Chiaki went up to him and cupped his cheeks. "Calm down Hatori like I said I'll explain everything once you rest. I need you to relax for me. Please."

Hatori took a deep shaking breath.

Tears misted in his eyes. "I'm so sorry Hatori; I should have gotten to you sooner."

Hatori smiled a little. "You did save me though. That man said he was going to take me."

Chiaki's eyes widened as anger consumed him whole. They tried to take Hatori away? From him? Chiaki growled. It wasn't human. He hissed showing his fangs in aggression. He was going to kill them all.

Hatori was his!

Mine! I'll kill anyone who tries to take him away from me.

"Yoshino! Calm down!"

Chiaki was startled out of the fog to see the fear in Hatori's eyes again. He cursed himself and tried to calm his anger. Later he would go into a rage. Not now. Hatori needed him to be calm.

"Sorry." Chiaki's voice was horse from the anger that was still there. "Rest now I'll be back in a few minutes, alright? Please don't leave this room."

Hatori nodded. Chiaki gently pushed him down on the bed. He waited until Hatori fell asleep before shifting back to get Yokozawa.

-Takano

Back in the top floor Takano signed in frustration. Chiaki wasn't helping with the way he was panicking. Hatori was turned into a Vampire; the only possible solution was to kill him.

They had no choice in the matter.

However when it was said Chiaki flew into a rage. There was no way Chiai would let them touch Hatori so Takano had no choice but to figure out how they were going to hide him from the Coven.

"Geez, you're a pain in the ass." Takano growled. Both Chiaki and Yokozawa were standing up while he was sitting down on the velvet chair.

"I'm not letting you touch what is mine!" Chiaki snapped back.

"Calm down Chiaki-" Yokozawa tried to calm but Chiaki cut him off.

"How could you expect me to do that? Why not kill Ritsu too, huh? Why is it that Ritsu gets to live and not my Hatori!?"

"Don't go there…" Takano warned. He understood Chiaki's pain since it was the same appearance of Chiaki's old lover a hundred years ago but any mention of his Ritsu and heads were going to roll.

"Enough Chiaki, we won't kill him. Takano you're not helping."

Takano shrugged. "I say let's kill the guy."

Chiaki growled.

"Then stop pissing me off Chiaki." Takano glared at him. That was what he get for daring to say something like that about his Ritsu.

Chiaki stayed tense as if ready to go back to the man and run away.

"Takano, I've contacted the Coven and they have given us one week to clean up the mess. They already have all the names, including your Priest, who disappeared. They are waiting for us to send who we killed already so they know who to cross out of their list. Do you remember the faces of the new-born's you have killed Takano?" Takano nodded. "Great, we could get all the names and faces and you could tell us who you killed that night. Of course Ritsu will be one of them."

"Of course," Takano leaned back in his chair.

"And Hatori!" Yokozawa nodded. Chiaki relaxed slightly.

"Since there are two new-born's on this island we need more bagged blood." Takano concluded.

Yokozawa nodded. "Already sent a boat for it,"

Takano nodded again. New-born's needed lots of blood on their first few days since food on longer substances the body. He needed to feed Ritsu soon as well. A new-born could starve in the first two hours.

Takano scowled. He'd been so busy lately to where he wasn't able to properly take care of his little Priest.

Takano studied Chiaki with narrow eyes as he realized how skinny he'd become in such a short time. "Damn it Chiaki! Stop forgetting to drink!"

Chiaki jumped at his voice. "I was stuck in my apartment!"

"I don't care! You're going to die at this rate" Chiaki rolled his eyes.

"Here," Yokozawa set down a tray of two plasma bags. "Drink all of it. You're drinking two more in an hour."

Chiaki groaned. "I'm not a little kid you know!"

"Then stop acting like one and forgetting to drink!" Chiaki pouted.

"Back to the matter at hand," Takano announced, drawing back their attention. "We need to kill the new-born's and the Rouges as soon as possible."

"The men have barely been sent into the city." Yokozawa said.

"Good." Takano stood up. "Tomorrow night we go hunting. Tonight we rest. Chiaki made sure to send extra blood to your room for both you and Hatori." Chiaki nodded.

Takano left the room in search for Ritsu.

-Ritsu

Ritsu spent all day on the beach reluctant to go back inside to Takano.

His wolf had suddenly disappeared a while ago and night had fallen leaving him alone to stroll around the beach.

Ritsu was completely in love with the wolf. He would follow Ritsu around the beach and the wolf seemed to understand when Ritsu would talk to him about random things. Many times the wolf would jump on him and start playing wrestling.

Ritsu chuckled. It was fun.

Ritsu was relaxed walking barefooted in the now cool soft sand. A gentle breeze cooled down his heated skin. The view was something he never thought to see in his life. The palm trees swayed with the wind and the full moon lit the world with a baby blue color. The smell of sea salt assaulted his senses and because of his now keen sight he saw every detail of rock, sand grain, and how the light form the moon illuminated the crystal clear water for miles.

He would believe he was in heaven if not for the burning in his throat.

Ritsu had never felt anything like it. It felt like nails were clawing inside his throat, it also felt swollen and dry. Ritsu coughed many times trying to somehow scratch the itch but it only seemed to make it worse.

Again he debated if he wanted to go back inside and possibly face Takano again.

As he was debating it he heard what sounded to be a motor running.

Frowning Ritsu turned to the docking in front of him to see a small boat coming in. His breath hitched. Finally!

He ran to it and hid behind large rocks as they starting unloading boxes.

He had one chance; once they finished and had turned their backs to him he could sneak onto the boat.

The wind blew softly in his direction and an amazing aroma knocked his senses. What was that? His throat burned hotter.

Ritsu noticed a difference between the people on the boat and the ones who worked on the island.

Human's.

Ritsu felt his fangs sharpen and his eye sight fading into black.

What was going on?

Panicked Ritsu fell to the ground as the pain worsen. He could hear their heartbeats beating stronger than the Vampires. Could scent their delicious blood. Hel licked his lips unconsciously.

He was so thirsty it hurt.

Ritsu heard a terrifying growl. Who was that? Was that…him?

The last thing he saw before everything went blank was the hotel building.

I should have gone back to Takano…
