Okay! I know it's been a whole...over two weeks since I've updated, I'm sorry, I've been busy. If you want to know why, my blog will always have the information you are seeking.

Onto the chapter~!

Everyone had gone back to bed by the time Tadase got back to the camp. He sat on a rock by the fire and gazed at the burning logs. He was deep in thought when a finger tapped him on the shoulder. He sniffed the air and knew who it was instantly.

"What would you like, Nadeshiko-sama."

"I-I'd just like to apologize a little more. I know you didn't mean to kill my grandfather."

Tadase prodded the logs with a stick. "Apology accepted, so don't worry about it. Now shouldn't you go to sleep?"

"Maybe. But why aren't you sleeping?"

"I don't sleep. Ever."

"Why? Amu-chan does."

"I know, but I took a special kind of potion to make me stay awake forever. Amu never took the potion and Hikari won't let her until she graduates and moves out of her parent's house."

There was silence, except for the cracking of the flames, for a few minutes.

"You have a bat too, don't you? Hikari said you all have one."

Tadase nodded and whistled. Kiseki came flying down from the tree she was in and hovered beside Tadase. "This is Kiseki."

Kiseki gave a shrill cry than flew towards Nadeshiko. She looked a bit frightened but then regained her courage when the bat stopped in front of her. She reached out a careful hand and petted the bat lightly on the head. He squeaked in joy and nuzzled his head against her palm. He flew up a bit and sat down on Nadeshiko's shoulder.

"I think he likes you. Funny, he doesn't like anyone really."

Kiseki squeaked angrily and moved closer to Nadeshiko. She giggled at Kiseki's affectionate movements and Tadase smiled. Then Kiseki flew off Nadeshiko's shoulder and went into the forest. Again, it was quiet between the two before someone spoke again.

"The girl you like...it's Amu-chan, isn't it?"

Tadase fell backwards and looked at Nadeshiko. She laughed a bit but then her face went straight. Tadase looked away. "Y-Yeah..."

He knew Amu was sleeping so it was alright. As long as Nadeshiko didn't say a word to her friends. He got back up and sat on the rock.

"I figured it was one of my friends, and now with learning all this stuff about vampires and vampira, well I just figured it was Amu-chan."

"Well, you were right. Just don't tell anyone, okay?"

Nadeshiko laughed. "Don't worry, I won't. You should tell her yourself."

Tadase sighed and looked at the ground. "Even if I did, it wouldn't matter. She has her eyes on that Tsukiyomi brat."

"What is your deal with him anyway? Ikuto-kun is a really nice guy. And...oh...he's a vampire too isn't he?"

"That's right. He came to your school because of Amu. And he's just a regular vampire. He's a half pureblood vampire and half pureblood cat demon. He's very powerful."

"And Amu fell for him?"

"Mhm. Well, I suppose it's hard not to. He can act really nice when he wants to, and he usually gets what he wants anyway, so it wouldn't be hard for him."

Nadeshiko placed a hand on Tadase's shoulder. "Well, there's nothing I can really say, either than I'm not so sure. To be honest, she looks really confused about who she does like. She could like Ikuto-kun, but I believe there is a really good chance that she likes you as well."

Tadase smiled sadly. "Thanks, but I'm not so sure myself," Nadeshiko yawned and Tadase noticed her eyes drooping a bit. "Go to bed, you're tired. And you'll need energy to deal with Yaya tomorrow."

"Right. See you tomorrow, Tadase."

Tadase watched her climb back into her tent before he let out a sigh. He turned to watch the fire again. He always loved the way the flames dances over the logs. It was like a dance of aggression and destruction, but also with a type a beauty that he just couldn't place. Tadase smiled lightly though, he knew things would be different from now on. But he wondered if it would be for the better.

The weekend passed quickly. Everything was pretty normal accept for Nadeshiko, Yaya and Utau wanting to know what it felt like to fly. Tadase had to take them for a little flight before the freaked and wanted to be put back on the ground.

Amu was also none too happy about her hair being black a day early. She had shouted, "IT'S SO UNFAIR!" loudly when she realized it. Tadase had gotten mad at her for being mad and they didn't speak with each other for a few hours. They made up though, but Amu was still upset about her hair.

Tadase growled. "You look just fine."

They were now on their way back to Amu's house since they had just dropped off the other girls and Kukai.

Amu made a face but then smile. "That was fun."

Nadeshiko smiled. "Yes, it was. We should do it again! But in the spring."

"Really? We could always bring the RV."

"True...well maybe, we'll see."

They reached Amu's house and she got out of the van. She had Miki in her coat pocket, sleeping soundly. Amu grabbed her bags and then shut the door.

Tadase rolled down the window and stuck his head out. "Hikari wants us to come tonight."

She nodded and he drove away. Amu sighed and walked into her house. There were a few messages on the answering machine but nothing overly important to her. She carries her things up to her room and dumped them on the floor. She stuck Miki in her cage carefully then flopped on her bed. She grabbed her cell phone and called her hairdresser. She was free so Amu ran down there and got her hair re-dyed pink. She could see that Ishikawa-san wanted to ask her so badly about her hair, but she kept her mouth shut. When Amu's hair was finally pink again, she ran home and ate some dinner. Once she was done dinner, she wrapped up the remains and threw them in the fridge.

I need a shower...badly.She walked up the stairs and entered the bathroom. It occurred to her then, that someone else was in the house.

Leaving it there~! I'll update again soon. Maybe in under a week. We'll see. So yeah, just have fun with this. Whoever could be in her house?
