"How was your day yesterday Mayumi?" Zero asked as we walked to the doors of Cross academy
"good…"
"Beyond good I see… You look radiant"

"Rose said the same thing"
"love huh?"
"Yeah"
"just be careful Mayumi"
"why do you say that?"
"Vampires and humans are different for a reason" was all he said.

"I won't argue about that Zero… But when someone's in love, she wont stop at nothing just to be with that special someone"
"or thing" he chuckled

"Very funny Zero Chan" I smiled.

"We want to see them!" girls were already lined up to see the night class. Didn't they get enough yesterday? I should not be talking…

"Please guys if you don't line up in a-" Yuuki says,
"oh here comes Zero" as soon as they saw Zero everyone lined up in an orderly fashion.

"I told ya Yuuki all we need is Zero," we giggled. The doors open and the night class walk out.

"Idol senpai!" girls screamed… However, he was not the same. He was rather down. It pained me to see him this way. I noticed there was a new girl there.

"Zero who's that"
"Stella… Another vampire. Like we don't have enough vampires here already," I laughed at Zeros sarcasm.

"She sure is beautiful" I commented.

"Yeah if you like vampires"
"oh shut up Zero," I laughed at his dumb remarks. I looked over at Hanabusa who still looked down. I dared myself to go and talk to him.

"Hanabusa Chan?"
"Yes Mayumi?" I hugged him.

"What's that for?" he said in a surprised tone.

"For being you" he looks at me with caring eyes

"All I want is for you to be happy… Even if I'm not your reason of happiness"
"you are one of my reasons Hanabusa. My life wouldn't be so bright without you" he smiles. He cherishes my cheek with the palm of his hand.
"I'll protect you and Kaname senpai always," he said.

It was nighttime and we still had patrolling to do… Sob. Like always, I walked around the lily garden and gazed at the lilies. Zero and Yuuki would always patrol together… I was the loner. Suddenly I heard a familiar voice.

"Mayumi" I turned around to see Hanabusa and Kain. Hanabusa was badly hurt.

"Hanabusa… Kain what happened?"
"These strangers came and wanted to get in the school. Hanabusa had to fight them but they were to strong. We both killed one each."
"Are you okay Kain?"
"Yeah… But my cousin isn't"

"Come on lets go inside"

"I'll take him to his room so he could rest" Kain informed us. We walked inside the building and arrived to his room. Kain places him on his bed.

"Mayumi… I will be back. I have to inform Kaname senpai about this" he leaves and it was just us two.

"Hanabusa Chan" I said almost shedding a tear.

"Mayumi" he struggled to say.

"You look so weak"
"I'll be alright… They don't call me idol for nothing"
"who did this to you?"
"Just some weirdo's" he was to me someone dear and I wanted to help him in any way possible.

"What if I give you a cure"
"what?"
"Drink Hanabusa Chan…" I show him my neck. His eyes turned red… He was obviously hungry for blood. He turns his gaze away from me.

"I can't hurt you"
"Hanabusa… I know you would never hurt me" he gets up and places his hands on my shoulders… And just then, I feel a sharp pain on my neck. Hanabusa pulls me closer to him.

"Why do you bother to care about me?" he said lying back down on his bed.
"I told you earlier Hanabusa Chan… You mean a lot to me"
"You shouldn't be saving me… I should be saving you" he started to look better.

"Shut up Hanabusa… And rest now" I felt a little dizzy but I knew everything was going to be okay. Kain comes back with Kaname.

"The smell of blood" Kain said

"I cut myself is all" I tried to get up but stumbled.

"Be careful my pet"

In a way I had a feeling Hanabusa was fighting those strangers because of me… In addition, I did not want anything to happen to him because of me.

"She is ill I see" Kain commented

"I'll take care of her and Aido… Thank you. Kain informed me on everything. I hope you are well"
"I am… Kaname senpai"

"I'm okay," I snapped. Kaname ignores me and picks me up bridal style. Before I knew it, we were alone in another room. He lays me down in a sofa.

"Kaname… Take me to my dorm please," I begged.

"You let him drink your blood," he said quite annoyed.
"To make him better"
"he could get well with a blood-"
"that thing isn't good enough"
"that makes me jealous of Hanabusa" he replied.

"Jealous?"

"He was one with you" he had anger in his eyes.

"Don't do anything to Hana"
"I won't because like you, I am fond of him as well"

"Kaname I'm sorry" He crawls on top of me…
"Don't ever be sorry for saving someone's life and risking your own" His eyes were red… He was Kaname the vampire.
