Kyoya was walking around the room when Hony entered pulling a couple of vampirish twins from their ears, whining about something they where thrown in front of Kyoya mercilessly

Hatsu was sure she was in heaven until something brought her to earth suddenly, the blissful sensation Kyoya had left her was now leaving by the appearance of a young girl by the door.

"Onee-sama? What? …. Why…. I don't…"

Before Haruhi could runaway Hatsu got up to stop her.

"Don't… wait, it's ok, nothing has happened to me… see" Hatsu said showing her teeth while she made Haruhi feel her pulse by pressing 2 fingers in her hand "See… am still human"

After Haruhi calmed a bit they moved to the living room where they would be able to talk better and more comfortably.

"What happened? I heard you were capture by vampires, some said you were the prince's breakfast or something but I couldn't tell"

"Actually, I was kidnapped by a couple vampires and was given to the prince as a "present" or so I heard from them and Kyoya"

"Kyoya?" Haruhi couldn't help interrupt her to ask; maybe she had a human-friend in the castle.

"Well, Kyoya is the prince, that's his name"

"ONEE-SAMA!! You've being living with vampires all this time, and you haven't try to escape or something?! Maybe send a message to your own sister? You left me to cry for a lost sister, a mother and a father? And you made friends with… with….. THAT thing!!

"Don't speak of Kyoya that way!" even Hatsu herself was surprised by her reaction; had she grown so attached to the prince she was defending him from his own sister? Was he so special for her? "He's… he's a good… he's… I" she tried but even thought of Kyoya as any other human even if she saw no difference between them she couldn't deny the reality she knew for so long, not easily, "He's not a monster Hatsu, he's sweet, caring, gentle, he's the most intelligent, surprising person I have ever met… he has taken care of me…"

"Taken care of you? Like his pet?"

"NO! am his…I mean he has, to him am a person just like him"

"So he considers you an equal?"

"Yes!" Hatsu felt relieved and smiled happy now that she was getting away with it.

"So…. Why didn't you ask him to release you if you're just like him, you could be free, right?"

It took her a couple of minutes to actually digest the set of words her sisters said, what was she to Kyoya? What did he felt for her? Did he felt the same way she felt for him? Did he really saw her as an equal? And if he did then how come he never asked her to stay or told her she could leave?

"I guess… we haven't talked about that"

"For what it seems you have had more action than words" Haruhi couldn't help to look away.

Hatsu was about to talk back when the meaning hit her, they had being sharing the same bed since the first day (night) she spent there, and even thought the first time was "totally" against her will the ones following were on her own free will, with a few times it came to be something she waited the night for, something she was eager for, she was constantly watching the clock on the wall tick and tack waiting for Kyoya to come back to her, and now she wasn't able to deny it, her sister had seen her spread lazily on HIS bed, there was no "I can explain" that could be followed by a really really good explanation to go again Haruhi's comments.

Hatsu was lost in her thoughts when her sister's voice turned her back to reality.

"What do you feel for him?"

"I… I don't know"

"Will you go back with me to town?"

"I…. don't know"

"Do you want to stay here… with him?"

Then instead of no answer the image of Kyoya's deep dark eyes appeared to her as the answer to any doubt she could have about the issue.

"I want to stay with Kyoya… I don't know if I'll go back, I don't know what exactly I feel for him, but… I think it goes untold… I think I love him"

"It seems you do, your first love.. and it's a vampire"

"A really sexy one" the tone in Hatsu's voice turned from a shy one to a much more mischievous one.

"You've changed quite a bit, onee-sama" Haruhi whispered smiling while the palm of her hand caressed her sister's cheek. "For good I'd say… am glad you're smiling again…"

The conversation between the two of them turned in another direction, so interested in updating themselves in the last events in their lives they didn't noticed the eavesdropper listening to their conversation.

"So you're staying at the blond-vampire's mansion?" Haruhi moved her head to agree. "And he told you you're free to go?" Haruhi agreed with her understanding again, "and you haven't left instead you came to see me? Haruhi doubted a little before accepting the reality of her decision, "because you hoped to find another human-slave?" this time Haruhi doubted for long before looking down to her hands and Hatsu had to push her face up to meet her eyes.

"You know you can be honest with me, after all you know I love Kyoya so, what's the problem?"

"Actually there's not much of a problem and THAT'S THE PROBLEM, I dislike vampires and you know it, but him… his weird, he acts so innocently, so cute, so… sweet it makes me look like am the monster, like am the evil one… for considering him capable of killing a fly"

"So you dislike him?"

"NO! and I don't get why… it's not logical, he's so immature and silly but I do like him, I don't think of him like a human, like you… but close enough, he acts like a child… maybe because he has lived too long without a mother… and I don't know, there's so much of him I wish I knew, so much I want to ask, to now…"

"Then do so… that way you'll gave me enough time to find the courage to ask Kyoya about US…."

"Guess that would be good" The sisters looked at each other and break laughs, it was impossible to believe or otherwise what they were saying, it was true to their hearts as to their minds but still it was so… unreal to their voice.

"I will introduce you to him today" Haruhi was all smiles, now her happiness was perfect, in love and with her sister by her side, what could possibly go wrong? A sudden knock on the door took them out of their talk and Hatsu went to attend the call, and to her surprise it wasn't the chibi-Honey-girl with a trail of food, instead there was a young maiden with a trail of sweets and a pot with tea. Any person thinking logically would have doubted a little about it since no one in castle knew she was receiving a visit, since it was something done in secret and she never requested for tea and sweets, but Hatsu was all happiness and never doubted for a moment to accept the trail and bring it inside the room.

While the siblings were talking on another wing of the castle Kyoya and Tamaki were chatting. First Kyoya tried to keep it work-level but soon the conversation took another route by the way he answered to Tamaki's work-questions.

"So what do we do with the mines and miners? The time to collect inside the mine will be done in 1 month, we could stay for a couple more weeks and get the best of the mines also the miners wont needing to go back to the farms, the only damage is given to the farms, without the work they wont be so useful later"

That's no good… how will Hatsu eat if we can't collect fruits or vegetables? Not to mention cows and other animals she consumes… "It's no good to damage the farms, we'll need them… not to mention the time to the miners at home is reduced to its minimum by working at the mines so, dive them in 2 groups and sent them by times to work at the mines the first group and the other at the farms, also divide in 4 the products of the farms we need to keep ¼ safe in case of eventualities and the others will be given to the villagers at the markets… keep ¼ to our servants and my castle…"

"Aaah… Kyoya… we barely eat food…" the question he already knew the answer but he was amused watching Kyoya's face turn red in embarrassment.

"We….. sh..e…… we'll eventually need them so it will be for our good, after all we do have a lot of servants so it's important to keep them well fed" Tamaki gave Kyoya an all-knowing look and waited for his next attack.

"About that, there's a lot of servants I'll see we don't need so… it would be useful to separate the ones we need from the ones we don't to sent the others back to the village already, they'll be useful there… not here"

"Very well keep as many as you need for yourself, tell the twins to send their pets back to the village, take care of my own… I want to keep just a 1/3 of mine and tell Honey to keep that little girl of his"

"What for?" Tamaki asked again already knowing the answer.

"Hatsu likes her" he answered no second thoughts, maybe he should have had.

Tamaki smiled evilly and Kyoya knew he had screwed it up himself.

"I…" "aah…" Kyoya thought his words again but still there was no good back up since everything he thought seemed a lie to his ears and if he wasn't able to make it sound a true to himself how was he going to lie to Tamaki who seemed to have grown so fond of his lies and his tricks, it had being so long for them to know each other, Tamaki knew it was his time to say something. "I may not be as quick to get things or more innocent to understand somethings unlike others but I am not blind, you like the human don't you? You're falling for Hatsu"

Even thought the first one sounded like a question both comments from Tamaki to Kyoya seemed to be an affirmative sentence.

"Will you admit something before it's too late?" Tamaki knew what buttons to push. "After all we'll be leaving sometime soon" Kyoya looked at his hands and then to Tamaki's eyes pleadingly "You don't want to act in away were you won't be able to tell if you were doing as you please like a spoiled little prince or doing exactly what those twins wanted, right?" Kyoya looked outside from the window "But you don't want to see her go away, you want to be with her but at the same time you want to keep it like you've always done, no… human… relations" Kyoya then stood up to argue, he was the crown prince, the son of a great ruler and he had to keep things like before for the sake of his people and also for… Hatsu's sake, they were different creatures… they would never be fine together… there was no way, but before he could muster a word the door swung open to let pass Honey with a flustered-worried expression.

"Something happened to Hatsu and Haruhi… they are acting weird"

It was a few seconds what took them to get to Kyoya's bedroom, but long enough for him to listen to Honey explain. "she gave them something on a trail instead of the breakfast I always send her and after they ate it they started to act weird… it seemed like Hatsu had lost her mind or something, they ran out of the bedroom and out of one of windows to the backyard… for what I heard they are still there" Kyoya moved even faster when he heard her name again, his Hatsu in trouble… he tried preparing himself to whatever bizarre behavior she was showing but nothing could prepare him for what he saw.

It happen in the blink of an eye, the moment they got there Hatsu was cornering Haruhi against a tree when she felt the presence of others and turned to look Kyoya directly to his eyes and Kyoya had to fight the urge to keep the eye contact the moment he saw her eyes full of lust and something devilish, it was her Hatsu about to ravish the other girl? The thought made his skin crawl in anticipation but the distraction took Hatsu's attention away from the real enemy, another figure came into picture when a vampire came from up in the sky to attack Hatsu, but before he could touch her Hatsu moved to the side and her sister trying to protect Hatsu launched herself forward.

Hatsu's confussion and the sound of pierced flesh filled the air that night.
